🔒 Safety First

Before Live Trading

  • Test in paper mode for 2+ weeks
  • All strategies profitable in paper mode
  • Email notifications working
  • Emergency stop tested
  • Risk parameters configured correctly
  • Starting with small capital ($1k-$5k max)

NEVER Do This

  • ❌ Skip paper trading
  • ❌ Start with large capital
  • ❌ Trade without notifications
  • ❌ Ignore daily loss limits
  • ❌ Override emergency stops

⚠️ Live trading uses REAL MONEY. You can lose your entire investment. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
