Free checklist

Most signal channels lose.
Here's how to survive the ones you follow.

The uncomfortable truth: the vast majority of signal channels lose money over time. You can't control the calls — but you can control whether a bad one blows your account. This is the short checklist that keeps you alive.

No spam. Just the checklist and the occasional honest note on signal-following. Unsubscribe anytime.

1 — Before you trust a channel

  • Judge a track record over months, not a wall of winning screenshots.
  • Do they post a stop loss on every call? No SL = no plan.
  • How do they behave in a losing streak — disciplined, or doubling down?
  • Are the claims realistic, or "guaranteed", "10x", "can't lose" hype?
  • Would their calls survive your account size, not just their highlight reel?

2 — Before you take any single signal

  • Risk a fixed small % per trade (1% is a sane default) — every time.
  • Size to your account and stop distance, never copy the signaler's lot size.
  • Never widen a stop to avoid being wrong. Take the loss, keep the account.
  • Set a daily loss cap and actually stop when you hit it.
  • Take the setups on a rule, not on emotion — cherry-picking is how good systems still lose.

3 — If you're on a funded / prop-firm challenge

  • Know your daily and max drawdown limits cold.
  • Size so a single bad day can't breach the daily limit.
  • Respect news windows and any instrument/weekend rules the firm sets.
  • One rule breach ends the account — survival beats a big day, every time.

Red flags a channel will blow your account

  • "Guaranteed" wins or no losing trades ever shown.
  • No stop losses, or "just hold, it'll come back".
  • Huge lot sizes / "all in" calls.
  • Revenge-doubling after a loss (martingale).
  • Urgency and FOMO — "enter NOW or miss it".

Most of this is easy to know and hard to do under pressure — which is exactly where accounts die.

Stop trading it by hand.
