One discipline, done properly
GGT Risk Management works on a single thing: the risk framework that sits underneath a trading strategy. Not entries. Not indicators. Not a signals room. The part that determines whether an edge ever gets the chance to compound.
That focus is deliberate. Risk is the piece traders most reliably skip, most reliably rationalise, and most reliably lose to — and it is also the piece that responds best to being treated as an engineering problem rather than a willpower problem.
How we think about it
A trading account fails in a small number of well-documented ways. Size creeps up after a good run. A stop gets moved once and then always. A daily limit exists in principle but has never once been enforced. A drawdown gets traded aggressively instead of defensively. None of these are exotic. All of them are preventable with a constraint that exists before the session starts.
So the work is unglamorous and mostly consists of writing things down: what you risk, when you stop, what happens on the way down, and how you will know next week whether you actually did any of it.
The standard we hold ourselves to: if a rule cannot be checked after the fact against your own records, it is not a rule. It is a hope.
Who we work with
- Active traders with a strategy that works and an equity curve that keeps getting undone by size, tilt or drawdown behaviour.
- Funded and prop traders operating inside somebody else’s limits who need a framework that keeps them well clear of a breach.
- Prop firms and small desks that need their risk policy, limits and escalation paths documented and defensible.
We are a poor fit for anyone looking for trade ideas, entry signals, a copy-trading service, or somebody to manage their money. We do none of those things.
