HOW TO USE
Open up before EACH new trade.
Especially after profit or a series of losses.
No answer → no trade.
________________________________________
STEP 1. STOP EMOTIONS
Question:
What's going on inside me:
— cold calculation
or
— excitement / euphoria / desire for 'more'?
The essence:
If there's emotion → you're not analyzing anymore.
You react.
Action:
If there's overload:
→ got up
→ left the monitor for 2 minutes
→ came back
Without this step, you can't proceed.

STEP 2. ZEROING
Question:
If I had just opened the chart —
Would I open a trade here?
Essence:
You are stuck in the previous position.
The brain is still 'short' or 'long'.
You don't see the market — you protect a past decision.
Action:
→ you forget the past trade
→ you look at the chart like a newbie
→ you make the decision again
If the answer is 'no' → entry prohibited.

STEP 3. FACTS AGAINST 'SEEMS'
Question:
This is a system signal
or do I just think so?
Essence:
'Seems' = fantasy + emotion.
The market doesn't trade on feelings.
Action:
Name at least 3 facts:
→ level (support / resistance)
→ structure (break / hold)
→ volume / liquidity / price reaction
No 3 facts → no trade.

STEP 4. RISK
Question:
Where's my stop?
Am I ready to accept this loss right now?
Essence:
If you haven't accepted the loss in advance —
you will adjust the stop.
Action:
→ you set a cancellation point for the trade
→ you assess the risk
→ you accept it BEFORE entry
Not ready to accept → entry prohibited.
________________________________________
FINAL RULE
If at least one question doesn't have a clear answer —
you do not enter.
Not because it's scary.
And that's because it's not a system.
________________________________________
RESULT
This checklist doesn't allow you to:
— entering on emotions
— chasing the market
— getting back at the market
— adjust the stop
It leaves only one thing:
trades according to the system.
