Infrastructure Tier Analysis
Risk Management
Every number on this page reflects real-world conditions — not best-case scenarios. Use the three steps below to find the setup that matches your capital, your comfort with risk, and your infrastructure budget.
How to use this page
01
Pick your tier
Your tier is determined by how much you can invest in trading infrastructure each month — not your trading capital. Start at MVP ($200/mo) if you are testing the waters. Move to Institutional ($2K/mo) or above when you are ready to run the full 11-node pipeline.
02
Find your capital column
In the matrix, columns represent your starting capital — from $1,000 to $50,000. Find the column that matches the amount you are placing under management. The cell shows your estimated monthly profit and return at that capital size.
03
Choose your risk per trade
Rows represent what percentage of your capital is exposed on each trade. 1.5–2% is conservative — suitable for capital you cannot afford to lose. 3–4% is moderate. 4.5–5% is aggressive — only appropriate if you have a long time horizon and strong risk tolerance. When in doubt, start at 2%.
Quick decision guide — what risk % is right for you?
1.5–2%
You are protecting existing business capital or entering for the first time. Slow and steady.
2.5–3%
You have tested the system, trust the results, and want to grow meaningfully without overexposure.
3.5–4%
You are an experienced investor comfortable with drawdowns in exchange for higher monthly returns.
4.5–5%
Maximum aggression. Long time horizon required. Only suitable if a bad month does not change your life.
