Before entering a trade
What is the setup?
There should be a clear reason for the trade beyond price moving quickly.
Where is the invalidation?
Know the level or condition that proves the trade idea is no longer valid.
How much is at risk?
Define the amount you are willing to lose before entering the position.
Before trusting a signal
Does market structure agree?
A signal is stronger when it aligns with trend, support, resistance, or momentum.
Is volume supportive?
Moves with weak liquidity or low volume may be less reliable.
Is the risk acceptable?
Even a strong setup should be avoided if the downside is too large.
