How this is calculated
Each checked box adds one point toward trade readiness, out of 8 possible points.
A score of 7 to 8 reads as Go: your trade planning components are in place.
A score of 4 to 6 reads as Wait, Fix Gaps First: identify the unchecked items, usually stop-loss, risk/reward, or size, and fill that gap before entering.
A score of 0 to 3 reads as No-Go: several core planning steps are missing, and the trade is not ready as it stands.
This is a self-check on your own trade-planning process, not a prediction of whether the trade wins or loses. A well-planned trade can still lose, and an unplanned trade can still win. The checklist is about process, not outcomes.
