Plan · all plans

Nothing is read out of this — it is here so that a plan you wrote in March still makes sense to you in September.

Retiring takes it out of the picker and leaves it in the record — the trades you took on it keep their own copy of it either way.

Entry checklist

Entry checklist

Everything knowable at entry. Settled the moment the trade is saved and never editable afterwards — that is the whole value of it.

  • Stop loss in place at entry measured
  • Planned reward at least 1.5× the risk measured
  • Risk no more than 1% of equity measured
  • Level was untouched since it formed you answer

Added, moved and removed as you go — there is nothing to save on this list.

Add a rule

Yours to answer — the journal has no view on what you saw.

Or one the journal can answer itself

Facts only — where the stop was, when a piece went on, what a bar actually traded at. Nothing here is a reading of the market, because a rule whose answer is an opinion is yours to answer.

  • Stop loss in place at entry already on the list

  • A stop recorded at entry always passes.

  • Target in place at entry
  • Risk no more than …% of equity already on the list

  • Measured against the most the position reached.

  • Planned reward at least …× the risk already on the list
  • A reason written before the trade is saved
Management rules

How you said you would run it

Settled at the close, from what happened in between. Only what is particular to this plan belongs here; how you run any trade is an account rule.

Also checked on every trade, from your account rules
  • No more than 4 trades in a day measured
  • No new trade within 30 minutes of closing a loser measured
  • Never add to a losing trade measured

Edit account rules

Particular to this plan
  • Never move the stop further away / increase risk measured
  • No more than 2 entries measured

One of these is about how you run any trade, not this setup. They belong with your account rules, where they are kept once and checked on every trade.

Added, moved and removed as you go — there is nothing to save on this list.
