Risk First · Valid Setup · Then How Good
Check it before you click buy
Risk has to clear first, then the four core pieces, then the verdict tells you how good it is.

2 The setup — all four needed to be valid

Set your risk
Enter your levels to get to at least 1:3, then tick the four core pieces.
New to this? What each piece means
Risk first. Reward must be at least 3× what you risk (1:3). If it isn't, the trade is locked — no exceptions. That single rule protects the account more than anything else.
The 4 core (all required to be valid): an inside bar (price coiled inside the last candle), a reversal pattern (double top/bottom or H&S), the neckline respected (it retested and held — this is what makes the pattern valid), and a confirmation candle (your green light, closed, no guessing). Miss one — it's not a setup.
Supporting confluences (psych number, order block, FVG, liquidity swept, higher-timeframe inside bar, session) only identify and strengthen. They turn a valid setup into an A+ — but they can never make an invalid setup valid.
Mindset. Even a perfect setup loses if you're tilted. Be calm, on-plan, and OK to lose the risk before you click.

Under 1:3 the trade is locked, full stop. Miss any of the four core pieces and it's not a valid setup. Supporting confluences only push a valid setup toward A+. Saves on this device · education, not financial advice.
Your numbers
Add the R result to each logged trade to track your real win rate and whether A+ setups out-earn the lean ones.
Add honest R results (e.g. +3 or -1). Saves on this device only.
