Point 7 is the one most traders break, so it's good to see it spelled out. A way to make it easier to keep: decide when risk does increase, in advance and on a calendar rather than on a feeling. For example, risk per trade is reviewed only on the first trading day of each month and only goes up if the account made a new equity high in the previous month.
That turns "should I size up after this great week?" into a non-question. The same applies in reverse for drawdowns. A pre-set step-down level removes the temptation to "trade it back" at full size.
