What's your per-trade planning checklist?

Between "setup on the chart" and "order placed" sits a checklist: calendar clear, level valid, size calculated, stop placed, target set, reason written. The checklist is the strategy's last line of defence.

Share yours, item by item:

• the exact checks in order
• which check catches the most mistakes
• how the checklist evolved over time

The position sizing guide and order types guide fill in two of the items.
