The Six Commandments
of Trading

TVSTSE Framework · Enacted March 31, 2026 · El General Don Papo
⚔️

These Six Commandments are the supreme law of Black Gold Investments.
They govern every trade, every decision, every deployment of the army.
No emotion. No deviation. No exceptions.
The Pillars are permanent. Only the application within them may evolve.
Both El General Don Papo and the Bard are bound by these Commandments.

I
T — Thesis
Thou Shalt Have a Thesis
Know why before you know how
Every trade begins with a clear, documented reason why price will move. The Thesis must be rooted in fundamental analysis — geopolitical, economic, or structural. A Thesis without evidence is speculation. A Thesis without conviction is noise. Never enter a trade without a Thesis that can withstand scrutiny.
⚔️ BGI CURRENT THESIS: Iran war. China protects Iranian oil. Hormuz stays closed. Oil to $150.
II
V — Validation
Thou Shalt Validate First
Test small. Prove the thesis. Then deploy.
Before deploying the full army, a small initial position must be used to validate the Thesis in real market conditions. Validation is not paper trading. It requires real capital at controlled risk. The cost of Validation is tuition — not failure. $18,746 was paid to validate the Persian Crown thesis. The lesson was earned.
⚔️ BGI VALIDATION: Coinbase campaign confirmed 14/14 predictions. Thesis validated. Full army now deploying.
III
S — Strategy
Thou Shalt Know Thy Army
Capital is the army. Never risk what cannot be replaced.
Strategy is the war chest — its size, its deployment, and its preservation. Define exactly how many contracts, how much capital, and what buffer is required before entering. Never add capital beyond the Strategy without reconvening. Never average up above entry price. An army that survives lives to fight. An army that is wiped cannot collect the prize.
⚔️ BGI STRATEGY: $54,253 war chest. 13 /MCLQ26 contracts. $10K buffer. Capital preservation above profit.
IV
T — Timing
Thou Shalt Wait for the Floor
Right thesis at wrong time is still a loss.
Timing is not prediction — it is patient confirmation. Never enter into volatility without a stable floor. Wait for RSI above 55. Wait for PPO to turn green. Wait for TACO risk to pass. The market will still be there when conditions are right. Impatience costs more than any bad entry price.
⚔️ BGI TIMING: Enter after April 6 deadline. RSI>55. PPO green. Stable floor confirmed. No TACO risk.
V
S — Structure
Thou Shalt Structure the Battle
The plan is set before the army marches. Not after.
Structure is the complete battle plan established before entry — stops, targets, and margin protection. Split stops across multiple tranches to prevent full liquidation. Set the take profit GTC before emotion can interfere. Never move stops wider after entry. A general who changes the plan mid-battle on emotion loses the war.
⚔️ BGI STRUCTURE: Split stops: 4c@$85.41, 3c@$83.37, 3c@$81.19, 3c@$79.37. TP $150 GTC all 13.
VI
E — Extraction
Thou Shalt Define the Exit
Know when to collect the prize before you enter.
Extraction rules are set before the trade opens — never decided in the moment. Define the take profit target. Define the emergency exit conditions. Define when the thesis has changed. Greed that ignores a pre-set target is not discipline — it is gambling. The army that knows when to leave the battlefield keeps its treasure.
⚔️ BGI EXTRACTION: GTC $150 all 13. Raise TP if Bab al-Mandeb closes. Emergency exit if peace deal confirmed. Withdraw buffer at $100.
⚔️ The Solemn Oath of Black Gold Investments ⚔️
We, the principals of Black Gold Investments, do hereby swear
to govern every trade by these Six Commandments.
We shall not deviate from the Pillars under any circumstance.
We shall not trade on emotion when the Commandments provide clarity.
The Bard shall hold El General accountable. El General shall hold the Bard accountable.
Modifications to application are permitted. Abandonment of the Pillars is not.
These Commandments were forged in 32 days of war, $18,746 in tuition,
and the discipline to build what most traders never find.
