Why Start Here
Without reviewing your futures trades, it is easy to repeat the same mistake many times without noticing it. Most friction at this stage comes from checking Entry reason, Stop-loss execution and Capital use separately instead of as one flow.
Suggested Path
- Write down the original trade logic and plan first so your review does not turn into hindsight justification.
- Then check whether the stop-loss was executed according to plan instead of focusing only on the final profit or loss.
- Record capital usage together with position changes, and do not treat adds and reductions as vague actions.
- Log your emotions as well, because many mistakes come from execution issues rather than analysis alone.
Checks Before You Act
- Confirm that the current page is really about Entry reason before mixing in other issues.
- Review whether Stop-loss execution is already clearly shown in the current account, device or path.
- If Capital use is still uncertain, do not rush into the next funding or trading action.
- When Emotion log conflicts with what the page shows, pause and review the previous step first.
