Why I Separate Market Analysis From Trade Execution

Market analysis and trade execution are related, but they are not the same task.

Analysis helps me develop scenarios: price may continue higher, reject resistance, or remain in a range.

Execution is the process of deciding whether a valid setup exists, placing the order, controlling risk, and managing the position.

I can have a reasonable market view and still execute poorly.

Keeping the two separate helps me identify whether a problem came from my analysis, my entry, or my risk management.
