10 CHECKLIST BEFORE ENTERING A TRADE.
Many traders lose not because of incorrect analysis, but because they do not self-check before entering a trade. Professional trading is a continuous process of questioning and being honest with the answers.
First is discipline. Are you following the plan you set out, or are you just reacting to price movements? Each entry needs a clear reason, a specific stop loss, and a transparent target. If your goal is "not wanting to lose" or "having to recover", that is already a sign of a mistake.
Next is the emotional factor. Greed when winning and fear when losing can lead to trading volumes exceeding control. A mature trader knows when to stay out and when to slow down.
Finally, every trade should leave behind a lesson. No trade is meaningless if you know how to reflect on it. Trading does not require you to be right continuously, just that you have enough discipline to survive and improve day by day.
