Why this exists

Good setups do not help if one oversized trade wipes out a month of work. A 25% drawdown needs a 33% gain to get back to even; a 50% drawdown needs 100%. The arithmetic is simple and unforgiving.

The Complete Program turns that arithmetic into a policy: per-trade risk, daily and weekly caps, open-risk limits, rules for after a losing streak and a weekly review that shows whether you follow them.

What the $997 version adds to the $297 course

Everything in The Trader's Risk Desk is included. Then:

Portfolio heat and correlation

Total open risk, correlated positions and how several good trades can turn into one big bet.

Volatility-adjusted sizing

ATR-based sizing, volatility regimes and when to cut size because conditions changed.

Drawdown recovery rules

Written rules for the days after a losing streak: cut size, pause, review, and the arithmetic of recovery.

Loss psychology and decision rules

Revenge trading, oversizing after wins, and rules that remove in-the-moment decisions.

Scenario stress-test workbook

Run your open positions through hypothetical what-if scenarios: gap against, volatility jump, correlated selloff.

Your written risk policy

A capstone where you assemble every rule into a single document and a one-page version for your desk.

30 case studies (up from 12)

Same setup sized well and sized badly, across stocks, spreads and Micro futures. Educational and hypothetical.

Weekly Risk Desk Report

26 weekly reports: volatility and event-risk context, ATR tables for common ETFs and a rule-review prompt. Descriptive only; no trade ideas.

12 live monthly Q&A sessions

Up from three recorded Q&As: twelve live sessions on your own risk questions, recorded for replay.

26 weeks. Volatility and event-risk context, ATR tables for common ETFs and a rule-review prompt. Descriptive only; no trade ideas.

Who it is for

  • You have setups you like but inconsistent results from oversizing or skipping stops
  • You trade stocks, options spreads or Micro futures and want one consistent risk policy
  • You are coming back after a drawdown and want written rules

Who it is not for

  • You want signals or promised returns
  • You want a promise of results; nobody can give you one
  • You cannot read a chart yet (start with MJ Chart School)

What it is not

The risks, stated plainly

Risk rules reduce the chance of one large loss but do not remove losses. Stops can be gapped through. Every example is hypothetical and for illustration; past results do not predict future results. Futures and options carry additional risks.

For educational purposes only. Pro Trader Strategies is not an investment advisor or broker-dealer and does not tell you what to buy or sell. Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. All examples are hypothetical or from the past, labeled as such, and are not forecasts or promises. Hypothetical or simulated results have inherent limitations, and past performance is not indicative of future results. No representation is made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
