FREE STARTER KIT

Make your rules
clear enough to review.

A one-page playbook. One rule to observe. A useful first review — even on a day without a trade.

Do you already have a system?

02 / MY ESSENTIAL PLAYBOOK

Seven fields. One version you can inspect.

Define the rule before the session. A complete worksheet is not a validated trading strategy.

03 / WORKED EXAMPLE · HYPOTHETICAL, STUDY ONLY

A close is observable.
“Looks strong” is not.

MarketEUR/USD - hypothetical chart, study only

Timeframe15-minute candles; observe 09:00-10:00 UTC

ContextMark the 08:00-09:00 UTC high and low before observing the next hour.

Entry ruleStudy a long candidate only after a 15-minute candle closes above the marked high. Record the close; do not place a live order.

InvalidationFor this study, a later 15-minute close back inside the marked range invalidates the candidate.

ManagementEnd observation at 10:00 UTC or at invalidation, whichever comes first. Record what happened without optimizing the rule.

When I will not tradeNo close above the high, missing candles, or observation outside the window: record no trade. Risk and execution rules are incomplete, so this is not a tradable system.

04 / SEVEN-DAY RESET

Observe one rule, not every weakness.

DAY 1

Write your first playbook. Circle one observable rule.

DAY 2

Compare your rule with the example and counterexample.

DAY 3

Observe one session. Live, demo, study and no trade are different records.

DAY 4

Repeat the observation. Do not force an entry.

DAY 5

Review what was documented. Separate missing evidence from a broken rule.

DAY 6

Rewrite one ambiguous sentence. Keep the previous version.

DAY 7

Compare the two versions and choose what to observe next.

05 / FIRST REVIEW

What does your evidence let you say?

Record date, market and mode (live / demo / study / no trade). Quote the rule. Mark followed / not followed / not assessable. Describe the evidence, then choose one wording change. A missing result is not zero R.
