🧠 How to know if a strategy fits your nerves.

Every strategy has a max drawdown number.
Most people read it as a math fact: "worst case, I'm down 18%."
It's not a math fact. It's a question:
can you watch that number on your screen and do nothing?

⚠️ This is where risk tolerance and risk capacity get confused.
Risk capacity is what your balance can survive.
Risk tolerance is what your behavior can survive.

You can have the capital for an aggressive strategy and not have the temperament for it.
The drawdown won't bankrupt you. It'll just make you exit early, which is its own kind of loss.

The fix isn't picking a "safer" strategy by label.
It's matching the drawdown number to a feeling you can actually sit with.

⏳That's the real value of the 14-day paper trial.
It's not a demo of returns. It's a test of your own tolerance, before capital is on the line.
