Pre-trade checklist template

Write these three lines before the sitting.

  • The rule you will follow.
  • What invalidates the setup.
  • Yes or no: you stopped where the rule said.

After the sitting, mark yes or no and add one sentence about the process, not the P&L. Copy the Markdown from the form and paste it into Notion or any notes app. This site does not email a template, and it does not store what you type.

Write the rule.

Write the invalidation.

Stopped there

Choose Yes or No.

Write one line.

Frequently Asked Questions About Trading Rubrics & Discipline

How to decouple emotional P&L from mechanical execution quality.

What is a trading replay rubric and why does process matter more than P&L?▾
A trading rubric grades the quality of execution against pre-defined trading rules rather than the financial outcome. A trade can be executed flawlessly and still lose money (healthy market variance). Conversely, an undisciplined impulsive trade that makes money creates toxic positive reinforcement. A rubric protects you from results bias.
What exactly is an 'invalidation condition' in a trading setup?▾
An invalidation condition is the unambiguous market price level or event that proves your trade hypothesis is wrong before you enter. If you cannot define where the market invalidates your idea, you do not have a trade plan—you have a gamble.
Why should traders leave win rate and profit targets out of process grading?▾
Short-term financial results are subject to random distribution. By evaluating whether you honored your setup rules, placed stops at invalidation, and accepted risk without emotional hesitation, you build neuro-mechanical discipline that produces long-term compounding.
How should I store and track these rubrics in Notion or Obsidian?▾
