Usually reverses. 🚩 Against Major Trend Stock in clear downtrend but buying setups Skip. Fighting strongest force in markets. 🚩 Single Indicator Confirmation “RSI bounced, I’m buying” Skip. Need multiple confirmations. 🚩 No Clear Support/Resistance Just buying random price level Skip. Trade should be at key level. 🚩 Moving Stop Loss Entered with stop at $98, now moving it to $97 to avoid loss Skip this trade. Exit on stop. 🚩 Averaging Down Lost $500, buying more to “average down” Skip. This increases loss. 🚩 Over-Leverage Risking 5%+ per trade Skip. Use 1% maximum. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ DAILY TRADING CHECKLIST □ Market still in same trend as yesterday?
