Define your market and session
Choose a small watchlist and a trading window. A beginner who studies two or three pairs deeply often learns faster than someone jumping across every instrument on the platform.
Write entry and exit rules
Your plan should describe the setup, the timeframe, the confirmation you need, the stop placement, and the reason for taking profit. If the setup cannot be written clearly, it may not be ready.
Add review rules
Decide when you will review your journal, screenshots, and mistakes. Improvement comes from reviewing repeated behavior, not from changing strategy after every losing trade.
Key takeaways
- A plan should be short enough to use.
- Write stop rules before target rules.
- Review the plan weekly, not emotionally after one trade.
