STRATEGY RULE-CARD BUILDER

Turn “I know the setup” into rules another trader could follow.

Define both directions, the exact entry event, the failure point, exits, filters, risk and the evidence to record. The finished card can travel as JSON, Markdown, print or PDF.

PRIVATE RULE-CARD BUILDER

Make the method short enough to follow and exact enough to test.

Autosave uses this browser only. WickAtlas cannot read, recover or sync the card, so download JSON if the working copy matters.

Name the exact version and its territory

A regime, chart period and session stop one method quietly becoming several different tests.

Method nameInclude the version if settings or execution have changed.0 / 120Market and regimeName the pairs or market, then define trend, range or volatility with something observable.0 / 400Timeframe and sessionState the decision timeframe, entry window, timezone and any pair restriction.0 / 300

Separate eligibility from the trigger

Eligibility describes the situation. The trigger describes the completed event that permits an entry.

Long eligibilityWhat must already be true before a long signal is allowed? Use levels, readings or completed candles.0 / 500Exact long triggerWrite the observable event and when it is confirmed—for example, an H1 close above a named level.0 / 500Short eligibilityDefine the short-side context independently; do not rely on “the opposite” as the rule.0 / 500Exact short triggerWrite the completed event, threshold or cross that permits a short entry.0 / 500

Fix entry, failure and exit before the chart moves

These rules should give the same answer when another person reads the same completed chart.

Entry timing and orderState market, stop or limit order, the candle used, and what happens if price gaps or spread widens.0 / 400Stop and invalidationName the price, structure or measured distance that proves the trade wrong. Never say only “use a tight stop”.0 / 500Exit and managementDefine target, trailing or opposite-signal logic in R, price, candles or indicator readings.0 / 500

Add the reasons to wait and the evidence to keep

Filters and risk limits belong on the card because they are part of the method, not optional commentary.

No-trade filtersList measurable reasons to skip: news window, session, spread, nearby level, volatility or loss limit.0 / 600Risk capUse a numeric per-trade and, where relevant, total-open or daily ceiling. This records your rule; it is not a suggested figure.0 / 400Evidence to recordSeparate at least two items with commas, semicolons or new lines: screenshots, readings, prices, spread, R and deviations.0 / 600

FROM CARD TO EVIDENCE

Choose one method version, practise it, then review the record.

The study finder helps you choose a starting method. Its checklists show what a completed version looks like; replay and the journal turn that version into a sample you can examine.
