Let’s categorize it into 3
ENTRY QUESTIONNAIRE
- IS THIS A RISK ENTRY OR REDUCED RISK POSITION?
- IS PRICE MOVING IMPULSIVELY OR CORRECTIVELY?
- IS PRICE IN THE IMPULSIVE PHASE OR THE CORRECTIVE PHASE?
- IF PRICE IS MOVING CORRECTIVELY, ARE WE FORMING A CONTINUATION OR A REVERSAL?
- IS THERE A PATTERN PRESENT? (FLAG, WEDGE, ETC.)
- IF YOU CAN’T IDENTIFY WHICH PHASE PRICE IS IN, SHOULD YOU BE TAKING THIS TRADE?
MINDSET QUESTIONNAIRE
- AM I ADHERING TO MY OWN ANALYSIS?
- WOULD I TAKE THIS POSITION ON A MILLION DOLLAR ACCOUNT?
- HAVE YOU RUN THROUGH THE ENTRY & MANAGEMENT QUESTIONNAIRE?
- HAVE I FORECASTED THIS TRADE OR IS IT A LAST MINUTE DECISION MAKING PROCESS?
- AM I IN A CLEAR HEADSPACE TO BE ENTERING THE MARKET?
- DO I ACCEPT THE POSSIBILITY OF A FULL LOSS ON THIS TRADE?
MANAGEMENT QUESTIONNAIRE
- HAS PRICE IMPULSIVELY MOVED AWAY FROM YOUR ENTRY?
- HAS PRICE REMAINED NEAR ENTRY FOR 4-6 HOURS AFTER BEING TRIGGERED?
- HAS PRICE BROKEN MAJOR STRUCTURE JUSTIFYING A STOP TRAIL?
- IF HIGHER TIME FRAME MOMENTUM IS PRESENT, IS THERE A SCALE IN OPPORTUNITY?
