    Procedure

    1

    Frame the decision area

    Set the chart view so recent structure, the proposed entry, stop, target, and nearby opposing level are visible together.

    Check: Can another trader identify the working level without scrolling?

    2

    Mark the plan

    Draw the entry, stop, and target. Write the condition that validates entry and the condition that invalidates the idea.

    Check: Could you state why the stop belongs there in one sentence?

    3

    Run the ChartMentor review

    Use the visible chart and your Strategy Lens to request a pre-entry verdict.

    Check: Does the output give a specific action, wait condition, or no-trade reason?

    4

    Handle the outcome

    Take only the defined trigger, set an alert for a watch condition, or close the idea when there is no clean trigger.

    Check: Have you avoided inventing a new entry after a rejection?

    Troubleshooting

    The review lacks context

    Zoom or pan until the relevant swings, level, and trade box are visible in the same view.

    The output cannot judge the trade plan

    Mark the entry, invalidation, and target before requesting a review; do not ask the chart to supply an unstated plan.

    Review the plan, not a prediction

    The procedure is designed to test whether the marked setup makes sense now. It does not predict prices or replace the trader's responsibility for risk.

    A no-trade is useful output

    When a chart has no defensible trigger, keeping capital and attention available is a legitimate result of the review.

    Next step

    Prepare one chart and review the actual plan.
