A Complete Pattern Trading Plan

Turn patterns into a repeatable routine with risk control.

A plan lists the pattern, the entry trigger, the stop, the target and the maximum risk. Write it before the trade. If the trade does not fit the plan, skip it.

Risk 0.5% to 1% of the account per trade. Calculate the position size from the stop distance. Aim for at least 2R and keep a journal with screenshots.

Review monthly: which patterns worked, which markets, which timeframes. Drop what does not work for you.
