Is this trade ready? Try the checklist
Six questions from the readiness checklist members run before every trade, two about you and four about the market, each one weighted. Here you run them on one sample setup. Answer the market questions from the card below and the personal ones honestly. It takes about a minute.
- S&P 500 futures, long, mid-morning.
- The daily and hourly trends both point up.
- Price has pulled back to yesterday's high, the level written in your plan, and that is where the entry sits.
- Stop below the pullback low, target at the session high: the reward is about 2.4 times the risk, and stop, target and invalidation are all set.
- One trade so far today, a small win. Your daily loss limit is untouched.
Educational practice only, not financial advice. The setup is an invented example, not a live market or a recommendation.
