Review workflow
Step 1
Write the rules once
Use a Strategy Lens to state the setup, confirmations, invalidation, and no-trade filters you expect.
Step 2
Apply the same checkpoint
Review each candidate using the same visible-chart preparation instead of changing the standard after a move begins.
Step 3
Record the lesson
If a setup is rejected, note which rule failed so the next chart gets a faster, cleaner decision.
What to make explicit
Rule consistency
A repeated review process exposes when a trade needs a new exception to work.
Emotional pressure
A defined checkpoint creates a pause before boredom, revenge, or FOMO becomes an order.
No-trade conditions
Learning when not to enter is part of execution discipline, not a failed signal.
Mentoring means confronting exceptions
A useful mentor does not validate every idea. It asks whether the trade still meets the trader's stated conditions and makes the missing condition concrete.
Keep responsibility with the trader
ChartMentor is not financial advice, a broker, or a promise of outcome. The trader remains responsible for sizing, risk limits, and every order.
Next step
Make the next decision follow your rules, not the rush.
