Build and use a pre-trade checklist
Last updated Aug 25, 20261 min read
A pre-trade checklist helps you consciously review key strategy and risk conditions before entry.
Checklist items
It can include market trend, setup completeness, stop loss, risk-to-reward, risk-plan fit, and important news or events.
Edit and use
Adapt items to your strategy. Tick only conditions you have genuinely checked.
Review usage
Completion percentage alone does not guarantee trade quality; review it with the Journal and trade result.
