Position sizing and risk controls, explained

A trade candidate's entry, stop and target are derived from structure evidence (support/resistance, recent volatility) — not an arbitrary percentage. Risk:reward is shown explicitly, alongside estimated total cost (fees + spread + slippage + funding) subtracted from the expected result at target.

It's common to focus only on the win rate of a strategy and ignore costs entirely. A strategy with a 55% win rate can still lose money once realistic costs are applied — which is exactly why AI NinjaTrader always shows the cost-adjusted expected result, not just the raw target price.
