Why do some prop firms cap margin usage at, say, 25%, while allowing open position size of 100%+ of the account?
What’s the rationale behind separating these two limits?
Triggon keeps shipping updates, and I really like what they’re building.
I’ve been running a few strategies there, and their new public performance reports are pretty cool.

Interesting idea here: when technical indicators (RSI, MACD, MAs...) reach consensus to buy/sell, does the market follow, or fade it?
Creator's take: a clean, textbook consensus looks more like a stops/liquidity map than real price direction.

Three ratios, three different questions:
Sharpe: how volatile overall?
Sortino: how bad were the downside dips?
Calmar: how bad was the worst drawdown?
A single number never tells the whole story. A low Sharpe, on its own, doesn't mean a strategy is bad.
There's a third lens worth knowing:
Calmar Ratio = Return / Maximum Drawdown
No standard deviation involved, it just asks one blunt question: how bad was the worst peak-to-trough loss? Useful when what matters most is the single worst drawdown, not a statistical average.
But I think it’s worth testing:
Can a mathematically calculated channel identify price reaction areas more accurately than a manually drawn channel?
Testing this across a large number of charts might produce some interesting results.
An Interesting Observation About Parallel Channels
I’ve been using the "Detector Light Phase Channel StopHunt by Triggon" indicator for a while, and I noticed something interesting.
I’m sure many of you have experienced this: you draw a Parallel Channel manually, but price -->
