📝💡 Hey traders! Remember my painful $5,400 loss? A huge part of that was trading without a plan. Let's fix that today with a simple 5-step blueprint. First, define your **Entry Criteria** – what *exact* conditions trigger your trade? Second, set your **Stop Level** – where will you cut losses, no exceptions? Third, identify your **Target** – where are you taking profits, like a 2R move? Fourth, calculate your **Position Size** – based on your stop, how many contracts to risk just 1-2% of your capital? Finally, establish a **Max Daily Loss** – perhaps $100 – once hit, you stop. Writing these down *before* the trade prevents emotional FOMO or revenge trading. Your challenge: draft your plan today before placing any trades, and stick to it!
