This note records a sentence Josh approved for the public site. It is not a trading result, and it does not invent a history of how the rule has been applied.
The sentence
On 11 November 2026, 4:55 a.m. Pacific, the About page was published with Josh’s founder philosophy and this rule, in his words:
Before I enter, I know where I’m wrong and exactly what it costs, and I accept that cost in full.
On the About page the sentence sits mid-paragraph, so “before” is not capitalised there. The words themselves are the approved rule. Josh described it as a single sentence about accepting risk on every trade, and as the first honest thing he can show the people he will teach.
It is a rule of process. Publishing it is not evidence that a trade was taken, and it is not a claim about results.
