WHAT'S INSIDE
A structured trading framework built around three phases: Recognition, Execution, and Management. Every component exists for a reason, connects to the others, and focuses on impactful improvements.
▼ RECOGNITION
How you read the market before making a decision.
- Market Context — Regime identification, macro cycle positioning, intermarket correlations, volatility regime, sector rotation, and options flow
- Price Discovery — Order flow, auction theory, liquidity mapping, and volume profile analysis
- Signal Recognition — Pattern recognition and divergence analysis that convert context into actionable setups
- Self-Recognition — Edge validation, awareness capacity, and cognitive bias identification
▼ EXECUTION
How you act on what you've recognized.
- Execution Precision — Entry trigger criteria, order type selection, and slippage awareness
- Sizing & Risk — Position sizing, R:R ratio, correlation risk, and Kelly / fractional Kelly
- Trading Setup — Stop placement, profit targets, exit types, invalidation criteria, and time stops
▼ MANAGEMENT
How you govern live positions and your trading business.
- Active Trade Monitor — Thesis intact checks, key level alerts, and correlated move tracking
- Trade Management — Stop/exit adjustments, trim/add size, partial profit rules, and re-entry criteria
- Account Balance Mgmt — Risk per trade, daily loss limits, drawdown rules, equity curve scaling, and payout/withdrawal rules
- Trade Reviews — Process-focused review, weakness identification, expected value analysis, edge re-validation, and win/loss categorization
▼ CROSS-CUTTING CONCEPTS
Ideas that span multiple phases and cannot be confined to one.
- Enter / Wait / Pass — The discipline of separating favorable conditions from a fired trigger
- Game Theory — Reading other participants across recognition, execution, and management
- Entry & Exit Timing — Continuous timing assessment from setup to close
- Trade Readiness — Mental, physical, and operational preparation before and after every session
- Scale In / Out — Building and reducing exposure governed by all three phases
