Execution is often not seen in the level of detail that is required. This is the samurai portion of our trading.
In this worksheet we will focus on detailing the execution of one strategy. We will look at the default execution and one modified method of execution. Think forehand and backhand. This is all we get.
Let’s begin.
PRIMARY EXECUTION
This execution method is for my ___ strategy :
(intraday, swing, investment)
With this strategy, my default model has me trading :
(range of trend)
My key setup is called :
This setup is a __ trade :
(breakout, reversion, rebid, etc)
My execution method focus’s on ___ as a trigger :
(levels, order flow, price action, multiple)
A perfect trigger looks like :
(focus on just what you want to see to take the trade)
My targets are based on :
This produces a __ R:R if done correctly :
I add when :
SECONDARY EXECUTION
Our secondary execution model is meant to be activated when the primary is not ideal. If trend is your main focus, this is how you trade when in range and vice versa.
My secondary setup is called :
This setup is a ___ trade :
(breakout, reversion, rebid, etc)
A perfect trigger looks like :
My targets are based on :
This produces a __ R:R if done correctly :
I add when :
Below or in the same folder, include 5 examples of each trade setup. We are focused on only two “setups” but those may look different than one another in each example. Price is dynamic and therefor, setups that are able to be captured by a broad definition yet exploited in a very focused manner are ideal. The job then is to leave anything that doesn’t meet the above requirements.
It’s just as important to commit to leaving anything not in the above criteria as it is to trade the above well.
