Index swings reward structure. The checklist below is deliberately boring — that is the point. It stops a compelling story from replacing a plan.
- Is the weekly trend up, down or ranging?
- Where is the nearest higher-timeframe supply or demand zone?
- Is momentum confirming or diverging with price?
- Does the astro time cycle window overlap this level?
- What single event invalidates this idea?
- What is the risk in points, and does size respect it?
- Where is the first partial exit and the trail rule?
Using the checklist under pressure
Keep it visible. If any answer is unclear, the trade is smaller or skipped. Clarity is the position-sizing input nobody prices correctly.
