Hey,
Before you place your next trade — any trade — there's one question most traders never ask.
It takes five seconds. And skipping it is one of the most expensive habits in trading.
Not because it predicts the market. Not because it tells you which stock to pick. Because it tells you whether the trade you're about to place is one you can actually survive being wrong on.
I built The 60-Second Pre-Trade Checklist after years watching traders blow up accounts that didn't need to blow up. Smart people. Good analysis. One missing step before the click.
The stop-loss check tells you whether your safety net will actually hold on the day you need it — because on a fast-moving day in a low-liquidity name, it might not fill anywhere near where you set it. Most traders find that out at the worst possible moment.
The hidden cost check — because there's a daily cost running inside every options position whether the stock moves or not. Being right about direction doesn't make it stop.
The sizing check — one number, before the trade is live — that tells you whether a wrong call is a scratch or something your account doesn't come back from.
Five checks. Sixty seconds. The traders who lasted at thinkorswim and TD Ameritrade weren't the ones with the most complex strategies. They were the ones who never skipped this step.
To Your Success,
