Trade planning

Plan the trade. Size the risk. Follow your own rules.

Pecunie turns an entry and a stop into a share count that respects the limits you set. Then it keeps the record of what you planned, so you can see whether you followed it.

Three decisions, in order

01 — Define

Write the rule

Entry level, stop level, targets in R. A thesis, and the condition that would prove it wrong. A plan you can't state isn't a plan.

02 — Size

Let the stop decide

The distance between entry and stop sets the share count, so every position risks the same fraction of equity no matter how wide the stop is.

03 — Follow

Keep the record

Positions are tracked against the stop you committed to, and every adjustment is logged. Adherence becomes something you can look at.

Widen the stop and the share count falls. The dollar risk stays where you set it — that's the whole idea.

What Pecunie does not do

Being clear about this is part of the design.

  • No recommendations

    Pecunie never suggests a trade. It reports what your own rules produced, and nothing else.

  • No signals or predictions

    There is no model forecasting price here. Your rules are evaluated against market data — that's the entire mechanism.

  • No celebration

    A winning trade updates the table and nothing more. Celebrating outcomes trains exactly the behaviour this tool exists to correct.

Start with your risk limits.

Set your equity and your maximum risk per trade, and every plan you write afterwards is sized against them.
