The CDS trading code

Risk management is not one chapter. It is the foundation.

Every CDS student is taught to protect capital before pursuing opportunity. A setup is incomplete until the entry reason, position size, stop-loss, target and review process are written down.

01

Protect capital first

Survival comes before returns. Risk must be defined before an order is placed.

02

No plan, no trade

Every trade needs a written reason, entry, stop-loss and target.

03

Size the risk

Position size follows the predefined risk limit—never excitement or conviction.

04

Respect the stop

A stop-loss is part of the original plan, not a suggestion to reconsider under pressure.

05

Trade the setup

No boredom trades, revenge trades or fear-of-missing-out entries.

06

Journal every trade

Wins and losses are recorded, reviewed and converted into specific lessons.

Original CDS studio posters

Six reminders. One disciplined process.

Displayed at Capital Discipline Studio to keep capital protection, risk control and written preparation visible before every trade.

Capital Discipline Studio Trade Journal cover

Founding student benefit

Complimentary for the first 50 students

  • Pre-trade checklist and risk framework
  • 40 daily trade-log entries
  • Weekly and monthly performance reviews
  • Mistakes, lessons, goals and strategy notes
Enquire about enrolment →Offer applies to the first 50 confirmed CDS course enrolments, limited to one complimentary journal per student and subject to availability. The journal is an educational record-keeping tool and does not assure trading profits.
