Most traders obsess over the entry candle.
Very few write the exit first.
That's why stops get walked, size gets inflated by "conviction," and one bad add turns a plan into a hope trade.
Here is a simple pre-trade checklist. Four checks. No ticker required.
1) Invalidation price — written first
Before you size, write the exact price (or condition) that kills the idea.
If you can't name it in one line, you don't have a trade — you have a wish.
2) Size from stop distance, not conviction
Risk $ ÷ distance to invalidation = quantity.
Feeling "sure" does not widen your account. Distance does.
Big conviction + tiny stop distance still equals oversized risk if you skip the math.
3) One add, max — and only if thesis intact
One scale-in is allowed only when the original reason to be in is still true.
If you are adding because you are underwater, that is not an add. That is averaging hope.
4) If you move the stop farther, you rewrote risk
Widening a stop without rewriting the thesis is a silent leverage increase.
Same idea. Bigger loss. Pretending nothing changed.
Rule: no written exit = no entry.
Plan the invalidation, the size, and the max add before you fill — not after P&L starts talking.
Reply PLAN if you write the exit first.
Reply WING if you usually figure it out live.

Price going your way feels like proof. Often it is just confirmation bias.
Before you ADD size after a green candle, run these 4 checks:
1) DISCONFIRM — Write what would prove you wrong. If you cannot name it, you are hoping — not trading.
2) FRESH INFO — Did new data arrive, or did the candle alone change your mind? Chart motion is not a catalyst.
3) SIZE RULE — Is the add size pre-written in your plan, or did hope inflate it? Hope-sized adds are how winners become accounts under water.
4) TIMEBOX — Would you enter this same size fresh right now with no open bag? If no, do not add.
Green ≠ confirmed. Edge is the plan that survives a red candle too.
Reply BIAS if you have added on hope before — or EDGE if you already write the kill checks first.

Most traders pick a size first — then invent a stop after they're already in.
That's backwards. If you can't write the kill level, you shouldn't be sizing at all.
Invalidation First — 4 gates before entry:
1) THESIS — one clear reason the trade exists
2) KILL — exact invalidation (price level or condition), written down
3) SIZE — risk $ from kill distance (quantity follows the stop, not hope)
4) TIME — max hold / time stop (the clock can invalidate too)
Why this order matters: when kill comes before size, you stop moving stops and revenge-adding. The plan already decided what "wrong" looks like.
Reply KILL if you write invalidation before entry, or SIZE if you usually pick quantity first.

Most memecoin losses aren't bad luck — they're skipped checks.
Before you ape a high-beta narrative coin, run The Ape Filter. Five lights. Any red = skip or shrink.
1) LIQUIDITY — Can you exit without wrecking yourself?
Thin books look fine on the way in and brutal on the way out. Ask: if I need to leave in size, who is on the other side?
2) HOLDERS — Is supply concentrated in a few wallets?
A cute chart dies fast when a handful of wallets decide they're done. Concentration isn't always evil — but it's always a risk dial.
3) UNLOCK / EMISSION — What unlocks soon?
Vesting cliffs and emissions can turn a "momentum" story into free float overnight. Know the calendar before you size.
4) NARRATIVE HALF-LIFE — Is the joke already peak?
Memes have a half-life. If the timeline is already exhausted and every account is posting the same punchline, you're late to the laugh — not early to the trade.
5) SIZE CAP — Max % of stack you'll risk if thesis dies overnight?
Write the number first. If you can't name a max loss you'll accept with a straight face, you don't have a plan — you have FOMO.
Any red light: skip the trade or cut size hard. Green across the board still isn't a guarantee — it just means you earned the right to consider a small, defined risk.
