Most important question to ask before trading

What do you think is the most importain question to ask yourself before you put on a trade

- Before someone puts on a trade there are a lot of questions to be asked (I hope)
I want to hear what people think is the most important of all the questions
they ask themselves before they put on a trade !


I will post what I think Friday I want to here what others think

Has the trade met my entry criteria? If yes I can't AFFORD NOT TO TAKE THE POSITION.

Is the coffee pot full?

do I believe, I have a winner with this one?

Where the trade fulfills trading rules according to my system or not ?

What is the R:R?

I would take it there would have to be a lot of questions for this

what is the single most important one

I like this one lol

what is the single most important question - to see if it meets your plan

I think this is very Important for sure

Where is my exit point

Where is my stop?

How much will I be losing?

All great questions


any others

am i taking the trade based on one of the emotions/ feelings I want to avoid? If no, take the trade

Would my laptop hang/crash suddenly?

what does this mean?

Is this going to be with the trend, or against it?

I would convince myself,if my stop loss and targets ( tp )
at the latest, will end at 6:00 am Hong Kong time

I concern if my laptop could suddenly freeze or become no responding. I used to open many programs, like FF, excel, and etc.
Of course this won't be an issue if i have better CPU.
