Risk-Controlled Paper Trading and Evaluation

Convert a market hypothesis into testable entry, exit, invalidation, and no-trade rules while distinguishing contextual evidence from executable triggers.

Produce a trade risk plan by placing a technically justified stop, calculating reward-to-risk, and sizing the position from account value and maximum acceptable account risk.

Execute and journal a short sequence of rule-based trades with TradingView Bar Replay without using information unavailable at each simulated decision point.

Calculate win rate, average win, average loss, expectancy, and maximum drawdown from a trading journal, then evaluate the effects of costs, sample size, and rule violations on the results.
