Use your journal data + memory of trades to answer:
| Question | Possible Answers |
|---|---|
| How do you typically enter? | Limit / Market / Hybrid |
| Do you prefer tight or wide stops? | 0.5R–1R / 1.5R+ |
| Are you quick to move to BE? | Yes / Only after partials / Rarely |
| How often do you cut early? | Often / Occasionally / Never |
| What’s your emotional trigger? | Boredom / Noise / Fear of giving back |
You now know your natural style. Don’t fight it — optimize within it.
| Trade Phase | Action / Rule Example |
|---|---|
| Entry trigger | BOS + imbalance reclaim only |
| Stop logic | Structural stop + 1.2× MAE |
| BE logic | After 1R partial + reclaim of swing |
| Management | Trail after 3R, reduce on absorption |
| Exit logic | Full TP at 5R or structural break |

| Category | Score (1–5) | Notes |

| Plan followed | ||
| Entry timing | ||
| Stop placement | ||
| Emotional control | ||
| Exit discipline |
A trade that loses money but scores 5s = perfect execution. Celebrate those. That’s edge in action.
This is how professionals trade the same playbook — but adapt execution to the day’s environment and their own psychology.
Strategy gives you the setup. Execution determines your outcome.
Your edge doesn’t live on a chart. It lives in the space between planning and clicking.
Trade from structure. Review from data. Evolve from execution.
