The if/then plan and the number of trades

The gamma map and the levels are worth nothing until they are turned into decisions ready to click. The if/then plan is written before the open, reread at every change of regime, and completed at every new reading of the profile. One line per possible outcome: the level, the expected trigger, the stop, the two targets, the possible grade. This lesson shows a real plan, then fixes the number of trades a session can hold.

How to write it

1. The two or three levels of the day, with their strike profile and their second source.
2. For each one, the expected trigger in both directions: what would confirm a fade, what would confirm a breakout.
3. For each scenario, the stop, T1 and T2 in prices, and the possible grade.
4. The "no trade" scenarios: the void zones, the levels too close to a brake, the forbidden hours.
5. The day's constraints: data releases at 2:30 pm or 4 pm, expiration time, remaining daily limit.
