1) Have you checked the Weekly and Daily timeframes??

2) Have you identified Weekly & Daily areas of either inefficiency or general POI's? (point of interest)

3) Have you found a strong (fresh) 4H POI? (point of interest)

4) Only by answering yes to the above do you then move down to 1H and await price to reach your
chosen POI!

5) Has price reached your 4H POI before you begin refining it?

6) Can you identify clear accumulation or distribution upon price entering this POI to guarantee (as much
as possible) that price will react how you want it to?

7) Has price (after or during accumulation or distribution) shown signs of your predicted move or broken
structure to indicate a continuation of your higher timeframe bias? If yes you may now go to 5M,3M,2M
or 1M to find your entry.

8) Is your entry exactly halfway into your 1M order block (if clearly identifiable on the 1M, if not move up
to 5M) and is your stop loss below the order block?

9) Why are you taking this trade? Money? Impatience because you havent won a trade in a while?
Boredom?

10) Have you doubted your analysis even once from start to finish on this trade?

11) Are you willing to comfortably lose your preferred % of capital if this trade loses?

If you answer negatively to even 1 single above question you DO NOT take the trade. This is your future!
EVERY TRADE COUNTS!!!

as i progress and my knowledge grows i will add and add to this list to improve my style, strategy and
overall attitude towards the markets

"As i said to a member in the group, every single individual has a different personality and needs
different rules for themselves. this is basically mine at the moment. it will become more in depth as time
goes on but i find it helps me stay disciplined with myself when nobody is around to keep me level
headed

And dont forget to be humble, or the markets will humble you very fucking quickly haha" - Owen
