The Self-Awareness Loop
Build a short body and emotion check you can actually run before, during, and after the session, so you trade from a state you can name.
Module 3
Build the rule card, the pause, and the trade-by-trade checklist.
The in-session implementation layer. Read Book Act 2 (Chapters 6 to 10), then build your personal STOP-THINK-ACT card, your pre-trade pause script, and your trade-by-trade execution checklist.
Build a short body and emotion check you can actually run before, during, and after the session, so you trade from a state you can name.
Replace the sentences you say to yourself mid-trade with short scripts that hold the plan, and run a four-step regulation pause when the body spikes.
Build the practitioner-level relationship with losing trades that lets you take the next planned setup at the same size, without renegotiating the rule list.
Walk through a live-feeling session of micro-decisions, name the body state behind each click, and rehearse a short pre-click sequence so the plan stays in the chair when the tape gets loud.
A short, honest read on the way you naturally trade. Knowing the default is the first step to running a strategy that does not fight it.
A practical sort across cognition, risk tolerance, time horizon, and stress response. The point is not a label. The point is to stop running a strategy that fights your wiring.
Working memory is finite. When the tape gets loud, decisions degrade. This lesson installs a simple system to notice load early and shrink risk before the load shrinks you.
Walk your setup through different market environments before you trust it with size. The point is to know where it works, where it does not, and how deep its drawdowns get.
Turn your style, your rules, and your execution sequence into a short written playbook you can actually run on a live session.
Build a one-page trading constitution: the rules that govern entries, exits, sizing, state, and review. Short enough to read at 6 a.m., binary enough to execute at 9:45.
Why a written rule, run consistently, beats a motivated trader running on feel. The mechanism is cognitive load, not virtue.
The handful of process principles that show up in every credible trading book, translated into rules you can actually run.
Turn your written rule set into a real-time execution system: pre-market prep, in-session checks, and a clear protocol for when a rule gets broken.
