III. Iron Law (Must execute once triggered)

1. Single trade stop loss ≤ 2% of total funds, never hold through a loss
2. Before US stock market opens (21:30), reduce position by 50% regardless of profit or loss to avoid volatility spike risk
3. If no signals are triggered on the day, stay out of the market, do not open new trades out of impatience
