Before you place a trade, take a moment to pause and review your decision.
What is your reason for considering the trade? Do you have a clear plan? Have you thought about the possible downside and checked the instrument and order details? Are you making the decision calmly, or reacting to pressure, fear, or a tip?
A thoughtful process cannot remove market risk, but taking time to research, plan, and understand what you are trading can help you make more informed decisions.
Save this checklist and revisit it before your next trade.
