Practical Operation ① — The Pre-Trade Briefing Routine

Key point

• A fixed 5-minute routine before entry — trend, events, stop location, target, and position size are checked before going in

Why

• Most mistakes come from 'not checking' — a routine closes that gap

• What is decided at entry lets a pre-set response come through even when the market shakes

Where people slip

• They look only at the chart and enter with no stop or size — an entry without a plan is gambling

A good trade is decided in the 5 minutes before the entry button is pressed.
