Trading process and review
Make the decision process visible before judging the outcome.
A repeatable trading workflow records what was known, which rule applied, how risk was set and what happened afterward. These guides focus on observable steps such as reading economic releases, pausing after rule breaches and reviewing decisions with consistent records.
