Do you also take entries in the market easily, but feel lost when it comes to exit or stop-loss?
If yes, you’re not alone.
This is one of the most common reasons traders fail: no clear trading plan.
You cannot rely on emotions in the middle of a trade.
You need a map before you start the journey.
🧭 Build a Solid Trading Plan in 3 Simple Steps
Let me share 3 simple steps to create a clear and reliable trading plan that can actually help you avoid overtrading and grow steadily.
🔹 Step 1: Define your trading setup
Be crystal clear about what type of setups you are going to trade.
Are you trading breakouts, reversals, or pullbacks?
When you know your setup, you don’t get tempted by every move.
This clarity saves you from unnecessary trades.
🔹 Step 2: Pre-decide your entry and exit rules
Don't wait to decide your stop-loss or target after entering a trade.
Make these decisions before the trade starts.
Why?
Because once you're in the trade, emotions take over.
Fear and greed can destroy your logic.
A strong plan keeps you disciplined, even when the market becomes unpredictable.
🔹 Step 3: Weekly Review of Your Trading Plan
Every weekend, sit with your journal and ask:
What worked this week?
What didn’t?
What should I stop doing?
What should I improve?
This regular reflection helps you evolve as a trader instead of repeating the same mistakes.
🎯 Final Thoughts
Trading without a plan is like going on a road trip without a map.
You’ll end up lost, and you won’t even know where you took the wrong turn.
So, how strong is your trading plan?
Do you follow it strictly or go with your gut?
