Calculates runway needed: monthly expenses times 12 months, minimum $48,000 for $4,000 monthly nut.

So if your monthly nut is $4,000 we're going to times that by 12 you need to have $48,000 of runway at a minimum. Now I want this account to be separate. It needs to be a different account meaning you have one bank account where you rent and your car payment comes out of and then you have your trading stack. Do not blur these two things because if you blur them and you have some drawdown in your trading account you're going to start panicking elsewhere. So quite literally have separate accounts for these two things. And really what you're doing here is you're buying yourself time. You're going to be paying tuition to the market. Maybe for months there's going to be variance.
