The Trading Mandate

A fund gives its traders a written mandate. Write your own in five minutes, on a calm day, then copy it somewhere you'll see it before every session.

How to use it

  1. Write it outside market hours. A limit set during a session is set by the session.
  2. Keep the numbers yours. The examples above show the format. They aren't recommendations.
  3. Read it before you start. Keep it where you can't miss it.
  4. Enforce the 24-hour rule. Tighten any time. Loosen only with notice.
