trading plan

Your written list of how you trade: what to look for, when to get in and out, and how much to risk.

The fuller meaning

A written plan covering markets, timeframe, setups, entry, stop, target, size and no-trade rules, completed before trading. Rules must come from your own testing, not from an AI; even good plans have losing streaks, and changes are allowed only for reasons written in advance.
