“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 14 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Risk Management

Position sizing

  • Risk per trade — fixed fraction of equity at risk (e.g. 0.5–2%), defined by stop distance: size = (equity * risk%) / (entry - stop).
  • Volatility scaling — size inversely to ATR / realized vol so each position contributes similar risk.
  • Never size by gut or fixed notional in a volatile market.

Drawdown gates

  • Hard max-drawdown limit → halt new entries when breached (e.g. -20% peak-to-trough).
  • Daily loss limit → stop trading for the day after N% loss.
  • Reduce size after consecutive losses; restore gradually.

Correlation

  • Crypto alts are highly correlated to BTC. Treat correlated positions as one aggregate exposure.
  • Cap total directional exposure across correlated pairs, not per-symbol.
  • Watch funding/liquidation cascades — correlations spike to 1 in crashes.

Leverage

  • Futures: account for liquidation price, funding cost, and that liquidation ≠ stop (slippage + fees).
  • Lower leverage in high-vol regimes.

Use alongside [[backtesting-discipline]] (drawdown metrics) and [[market-microstructure]] (liquidation/funding signals).

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
