All 4 conditions can still lose
Key idea: rules do not erase losses — they keep them small.
Real case
Bullish Fakey at the prior low 0.9086, ratio 1.61 — 4 sessions later it hit invalidation at 0.9085. It lost exactly the 1 unit planned.
Keep losses small
- Risk 1% of the account per trade.
- Size the trade from the distance to invalidation.
- Never move invalidation further away.
Price moves back near invalidation — what do you do?
Keep it. Moving it away turns a small loss into a big one.
