My Order Flow Trading Checklist
My checklist before taking an order flow trade
Before entering, I want to answer these questions:
What is the current market structure?
Which important price level am I trading around?
What does the footprint or order book show?
Is price confirming my trading hypothesis?
Where is the setup invalidated?
Does the potential reward justify the risk?
Am I following my plan or reacting emotionally?
If I cannot explain the trade clearly, I don't need to force it.
A checklist won't guarantee profits, but it can reduce impulsive decisions and make trade reviews more useful.
My goal is to build a process that remains consistent whether the previous trade was a winner or a loser.
