What it means for a systematic strategy
With no consistency rule the only payout variables are the plan’s cadence and the funded news window. The scale-up is generous and mechanical: two profitable months out of four with 10% total, three times, and the split is 100% without an add-on. A strategy that averages 3–4% a month climbs it in a year.
