Before you click buy
Run this checklist every time:
- ✅ Is this setup in line with the higher-timeframe trend?
- ✅ Do I have confluence (level + structure + signal)?
- ✅ Is my stop at a logical invalidation point?
- ✅ Is my risk ≤ 1-2% of the account?
- ✅ Is my reward at least 2× my risk?
- ✅ Is there no high-impact news about to hit?
If any answer is no — wait. "No trade" is a position. Start on a demo, then trade small live.
