The Last Filter Before You Even Consider an Entry
Skip one item on this list and you're not trading a plan — you're gambling with extra steps.
Before you start: Most useful once you already have a specific model or setup ready to check against this list.
Part of the MY EDGE framework — refined through thousands of hours of chart study.
This is the final filter before you even think about an entry — nine sections you work through in order, from weekly context to the final "trade / no trade" decision. It isn't there to slow you down; it's there to catch that one missing step that causes a losing trade.
- Checklist
- Validation
- Failure Conditions
What Traders Say
“The quality is much better than I expected. The lessons are clear, practical, and focused on building long-term understanding instead of memorizing setups.”
“One of the best trading education platforms I've used. It focuses on understanding the market, building discipline, and creating a repeatable process instead of chasing shortcuts.”
“Great platform with plenty of useful information. I'd love to see even more content added over time, but what's already available is definitely worth it.”
“The content feels professional from start to finish. Instead of spending hours on YouTube, I can find everything I need in one place.”
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Trade Preparation Checklist?⌄
It's a nine-section final filter — weekly context, NDOG analysis, Asian range, liquidity, market environment, scenario building, confirmation, trade plan, and post-trade review — worked through in order before ever considering an entry.
How do I use the Trade Preparation Checklist before a trade?⌄
Fill it out as a physical form before the entry decision is made, not as after-the-fact rationalization, and always build all three scenarios (A, B, C) with clear invalidation, even when one looks obviously more likely.
What if I can't build at least two solid scenarios in section 6?⌄
That's a signal, not a problem to force through — the checklist explicitly allows "no quality setup today, willing to wait" as a valid outcome rather than pushing into a trade anyway.
How is this different from the Daily Trading SOP?⌄
The Daily Trading SOP is the broader hour-by-hour daily routine; the Trade Preparation Checklist is the specific nine-section filter run immediately before considering any individual entry within that routine.
