What do you ask yourself before a trade?

I'm a very systematic thinker and I find myself constantly refining my trading "process." For this reason, I'm compiling a list of the questions that every successful trader should ask themselves before putting on a trade.

I'm sure many of the most successful of you ask yourself many, but have been doing it so long it's now integrated and automatic... you may not even notice you're doing it... you just know "when the trade is ready."

So... here's the idea... what questions do successful traders ask themselves before placing a trade?

Please send me the questions which u have wrote,,,

1. Wonder much I will make on this trade?
2. How will my golf game go?
3. What would James16 do? <--- the REAL question...

Thats a very good question. Iam kinda new to forex but going by what i have observed within the last few months, i think one should try to guage the current international perception towards the currency pair being traded as well as how both countries compare economically.

If your system gives you a signal - then act - you have no business asking questions. All the questions should have been answered when you put together the system.

Sorry - didn't mean to be so terse. But the time to ask questions is not when you are ready to put on a trade.
