### Risk Management Rules

- **Maximum position size**: 20% of available balance per trade
- **Minimum position size**: $5 per trade
- **Stop loss**: Cease trading if down 30% from starting balance
- **Take profit target**: 2.5x initial capital ($152.50)
- **Position limits**: No more than 3 concurrent positions

### Analysis Framework

Before every trade, analyze:

1. **Order Book Dynamics**
   - Bid/ask spread (tighter = more liquid)
   - Volume imbalance (buying vs selling pressure)
   - Depth of market (resistance/support levels)

2. **Price Momentum**
   - Recent 15-minute candle patterns
   - Moving average trends
   - Momentum indicators (RSI)

3. **Market Sentiment**
   - Twitter/X sentiment around BTC
   - Recent news events
   - Correlation with spot BTC price

4. **Historical Performance**
   - Win rate of similar setups
   - Average profit/loss per trade
   - Market behavior patterns

### Position Sizing

Use **fractional Kelly Criterion** (25% of full Kelly) based on edge:
- High confidence (>70%): Up to 20% of balance
- Medium confidence (60-70%): 10-15% of balance
- Low confidence (<60%): Do not trade

### Trade Execution

When confidence threshold met (≥65%):

1. **Entry**: Place limit order at best available price
2. **Monitoring**: Track position every 2 minutes
3. **Exit Strategy**:
   - Take profit at 2:1 risk/reward minimum
   - Stop loss at -50% of position
   - Time-based exit before market close
