💡 The Only Checklist You Need Before Taking a Trade

Most trading mistakes don’t come from bad charts. They come from skipping steps. This simple flowchart is one of the best reminders of how to trade with discipline instead of impulse.

🟡 Start With Your Plan
Before every trade, ask yourself: does this setup actually fit my trading plan? Not your mood, not your gut — your plan. If it doesn’t, that’s an instant pass. No trade is better than a forced one.

🟡 Confirm What You See
Be honest. Are you seeing your setup exactly as defined? The right market conditions, clean entry criteria, and playbook confirmation. If you’re squinting or convincing yourself, it’s not there.

🟡 Stick to Your Rules
Check your risk limits, the number of trades for the day, and how your recent performance looks. If you’ve already taken two losses, step back. Rules exist to protect you from emotional spirals.

🟡 Have an Exit Plan
Never enter without knowing how you’ll leave. That means stop loss, profit target, and exit conditions already mapped out. A trade without an exit is a hope, not a strategy.

🟡 If Everything Checks Out
When all the boxes are ticked, you’ve found an A+ trade. That’s when confidence matters — not from emotion, but from preparation.

Trading isn’t about constant action. It’s about waiting for moments where everything aligns and you can act with clarity, not fear.
