Phase 1 vs Phase 2

The two-step structure and how to treat each phase.

Phase 1 vs Phase 2 illustration

A two-step evaluation splits the target. Phase 1 is usually the larger target with the same risk rules; phase 2 is a smaller target to prove repeatability.

Treat each phase as its own test. A common mistake is to over-trade after hitting phase 1.

Keep the same risk and the same strategy in both phases. Changing approach under pressure is how targets are wasted.

Do not chase the target early. A steady, rules-based approach gets there reliably.

Takeaways

  • Phase 1 usually has the larger target; phase 2 proves repeatability.
  • Treat each phase as its own test; do not overtrade after phase 1.
  • Keep the same risk and strategy throughout.
