Before Entry — Ask Yourself
Is there a clear trigger? (VWAP, level bounce, breakout confirm)
Where is my stop? (specific structure level, not a $ amount)
What is my first and second target? (pre-planned)
Is my size correct? (1–2% account risk check)
Am I within an active session window?
Am I calm? (no frustration from prior trades)
After Each Trade — Log It
Entry time, price, and contract count
Exit time, price, and total points captured
Was the setup valid? Did I follow the rules?
Emotional state: calm / anxious / impatient
Stop placement — was it structure-based?
