My Simple Checklist Before Entering Any Trade
Before I enter any trade, I quickly run through this checklist — it helps me avoid emotional, rushed decisions:
1. Is the trend clear?
I only trade with the trend — not against it.
2. Do I have my entry, stop-loss, and targets set?
If not, I don’t trade. Simple.
3. Does it fit my risk level?
If I’m risking more than 2%, I skip it.
4. Is there a valid reason for this trade?
No FOMO. No boredom. Only logic.
This checklist takes 30 seconds — but has saved me from a lot of bad trades.
