If you're trading without a plan, you're not really trading — you're gambling. A plan turns the chaos of charts into a decision tree you can repeat under pressure.
A solid trading plan defines your market, timeframe, setups, risk per trade, daily loss limit, and the criteria for a quality entry. Write it down. Read it before every session.
Your plan also tells you when not to trade. Most accounts are lost during low-quality conditions — choppy ranges, news spikes, fatigue. A plan filters them out.
Review weekly. Track every trade. Adjust the plan with evidence, not emotion. That's the blueprint behind every consistent trader we've mentored at Geldex.
