The Pre-Trade Checklist That Took Me 3 Years to Build. You voted. You chose. Here it is. Most traders lose money not because their analysis is wrong — but because they skip steps. They see a candle move, feel the urgency, and click the button before they've even asked themselves why they're taking the trade. I used to do the same. Then I started tracking every trade, every mistake, and every time I entered without a plan. The pattern was obvious: the losses almost always came when I skipped the process. So I built a checklist: Four phases. Every trade. No exceptions. Here's how it works: PHASE 1 — Before you open the chart. Check the economic calendar. If there's a high-impact event in the next 4 hours, you need to know. Check the macro context — is the environment risk-on or risk-off? Then check your correlations: DXY, SPX, Gold, BTC vs Alts, BTC Dominance, USDT.D. They need to tell a coherent story. And finally — check your current exposure. How many trades are already open? What's your total risk right now? If you're already at 3% deployed, think twice before adding. PHASE 2 — Before you identify a setup. What phase is the market in — range or trend? This changes everything about how you trade. Identify your key levels: VAH, VAL, PoC, previous highs and lows. Mark the liquidity levels — where are the unspent lows and highs that price is likely targeting? And mark the higher timeframe trend on the daily and weekly. You need to know if you're trading with or against the current. PHASE 3 — Before you enter. Does this match one of your setups? If not, it's not a trade. Can you explain your thesis in 2-3 sentences? If you can't, you don't have one. The higher timeframe gives you direction, the lower timeframe gives you the entry — are both aligned? Where is your trigger? MSB, retest, break of structure — what confirms the entry? Where is your stop loss? This is defined before you enter, not after. What's your R:R? Minimum 2R, ideally 3R or more. Position size at 1% risk, no exceptions. And is there confluence? You need at least two TA-based reasons to take this trade. PHASE 4 — Before you click the button. Am I revenge trading or FOMO-ing? Am I sized correctly? Can I walk away from this trade and sleep fine? And the last one — journal entry started. Your thesis is written down before you execute. Not after. This is the difference between trading and gambling. One has a process. The other has hope. Save this. Use it. Every single trade. Popeye

Just opened a short in $BTC key confluences: > We've been trading on a low time frame range since last friday > Monday High was swept during the night and also tapped the 15m supply above > It led to an instant rejection and deviation back into the range, creating a new lower low > Pulling up the fib retracement, my entry was at 0,61 and close to the range high > Invalidation above monday high and targeting 63k, the next liquidity point of interest Let's see if this one prints

Let’s talk facts and actions instead of words (which is what matters at the end of the day) 1. First you publicly denied about Polymarket insider trading (proves you’re willing to lie to your community) 2. Then you call everyone retards for not backing your shitty actions instead of instantly owning to your mistakes (ego) 3. Cut the random words. You didn’t bet on your own Polymarket because you wanted to back yourself. You openly admitted you knew about a $3M whale deposit BEFORE opening the Polymarket positions. That count’s for 50% of the raise alone! 4. If you really wanted to publicly back yourself on Polymarket, you would NEVER have sold those positions for 20k profit. You would have kept them until the end. That would represent confidence. What you did was far from backing yourself and owning to your actions now doesn’t erase how you dealt with everything along the way.
