Pre-trade checklist
- Is the prior trend clear?
- Are the swing points meaningful?
- Has the pattern actually confirmed?
- Where is the thesis invalidated?
- Is the stop based on structure, not emotion?
- Is the position size within account risk?
- Are earnings, news or liquidity risks present?
A high-quality pattern can still be a poor trade when risk, liquidity or timing are weak.
