Day Trading Checklist

    Day Trading Pre-Trade Checklist

    A day-trading review built around session context and a defined trigger—so speed does not become a reason to abandon the plan.

    Use this checklist on the live plan

    Check each item only when the action is actually complete. A blank item is a reason to wait, not a prompt to guess.

    Skip rule

    Skip a day trade when price is between meaningful levels and the only reason to enter is that the session is moving.

    Speed requires fewer, clearer rules

    Intraday trading creates more decisions, not more permission to trade. A visible session map and defined trigger keep the review tied to location.

    Use alerts for watch conditions

    If the review exposes missing confirmation, define the evidence you need and step away instead of negotiating with a chart that is not ready.

    Next step

    Review the intraday plan before the order.
