Pre-Session Checklist

🧠 Mental State

I am emotionally neutral Not euphoric after a win, not angry after a loss

I slept properly Not tired, not distracted ⚠ No sleep = no trade

No impulsive loss in last 48h No revenge trades, no gamble entries recently ⚠ If yes → mandatory rest day

No distractions (class / bad wifi / phone) I have full focus for this session ⚠ Bad wifi = sit out

📊 Market Conditions

I know today's macro events CPI / FOMC / NFP checked on the calendar ⚠ First-time macro → size down or sit out

HTF bias confirmed Daily / 4H direction is clear before I open charts

VP levels marked POC, VAH, VAL, midnight open, 8:30 range on chart

NQ & ES are correlated Both instruments aligned — not diverging ⚠ Uncorrelated = do NOT enter both

🎯 Setup Filter (per trade)

This is a real A+ setup HTF PD array confirmed, NOT a B or C setup ⚠ No A+ = no trade

Judas swing verified Did it already happen on 8:30 / midnight? Confirmed — not assumed ⚠ Never assume "it already happened"

I will let price hit my actual stop No manual early exit unless setup is fully invalidated

🔒 Risk Rules

Max $300 risk per trade confirmed Position sized correctly before entry

I have not had 2 losses today yet If 2 SLs hit → session over, platform closed ⚠ 2 losses = stop for the day

Hard Rules — Non-Negotiable

+$1K

Big Win Rule

Setup Quality

Only A+ setups. B and C setups are not trades, they are gambles.
