From random buys to structured decisions: the checklist that changed my last 30 days.

Quick context: last month my portfolio went from $2.76 to $520 (+18,873%) and I added +$146.69 from Earn/staking. Not luck — process.

Here’s the 5-step framework I now run before entering any position:

1) Thesis & Catalyst

What needs to happen for this asset to reprice? Narrative (AI, L2, RWA), upgrade, unlock relief, volume rotation, etc.

2) Liquidity & Volume Trend

Is volume growing on 7D vs 30D? Is there depth to exit if I’m wrong?

3) Tokenomics Reality Check

FDV vs MC, unlock schedule, emissions, real yield/APY, inflation. If I can’t explain it in 2 lines, I don’t size big.

4) Position & Entry Plan

• DCA bands (e.g., 3 entries)

• Max % of portfolio

• Invalidation level (price or thesis-based)

5) Exit & Yield Plan

• TP1 / TP2 / time-based exit

• Stake or lend if it pays to wait

• Post-mortem after the trade (what worked / what didn’t)

My personal rule: no FOMO buys, no revenge trades, and every position needs an exit before the entry.

What would you add (or remove) from this checklist?

If you want the template I use to journal each trade, comment LOG and I’ll share it.
