BPre-Trade Checklist - 10 Questions
- What is the HTF bias, and does it match this trade?
- Where is the draw - can I name the exact price?
- Which killzone am I in?
- Which pool was swept?
- Which array, and what are its boundaries?
- Has the trigger - MSS or FVG - printed?
- Where is the stop, and why there?
- Where are TP1 and TP2, and what is the R:R?
- Is the score above 7 out of 10?
- Am I clear of the five-minute news window?
One "no" means no trade. No exceptions - exceptions are the first step to a blown account.

FFinal Words
If you remember nothing else, remember three sentences. One: liquidity first, direction second. Two: price always travels from one pool to another. Three: you cannot control outcomes, only risk - and controlling risk is what produces outcomes.
"The market does not beat you - breaking your own rules does."
Good luck. Go slow, and stay in the game.
