Pulse — Pre-Trade Best-Practices Checklist v8

Assessment Items

✓—

My mind is free of emotional bias — no fear of missing out, excitement, anxiety, or impulse — before evaluating this trade.

✓—

I have identified the current trend — confirmed as either an Uptrend or Downtrend — on the relevant timeframes.

✓—

I understand that chasing a parabolic pump carries elevated risk. A corrected coin still in an Uptrend presents lower risk, as it is relatively closer to a support level.

✓—

I have assessed and compared trend status across timeframes, starting from 12H and stepping down incrementally through lower timeframes.

↳ Longer timeframes carry more weight — a trend confirmed on 12H or Daily is structurally stronger than one visible only on lower timeframes.

✓—

I have noted the current market price of the asset.

Current Price

Enter the current market price of the asset you are evaluating.

✓—

I have determined the amount I intend to invest in this trade.

Investment Amount

Enter USD value if trading against USD or a USD-based stablecoin.

✓—

Enter an exit price level — the price at which I would exit if the trade moves against me.

Exit / Stop Price

Reference a key support level such as Support-4.

⚠ For a Long position, the exit/stop price should be below the current price. Please review your values or switch to a Short position.

✓—

I have reviewed the calculated risk and I am comfortable with both the percentage and the amount at stake. If not, I will reassess my investment amount or exit level before proceeding.

Position Type:
