Discipline is not a feeling. It is a checklist. Nothing enters the book until every rule is green.
Flat 200 SMA Consolidation
The 200-period simple moving average must be visibly flat on the 2-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, and hourly charts. This is your consolidation zone — the coil before the move.
Wait for the Breakout
Do not predict direction. Let price commit. When it breaks the consolidation — up or down — follow. The tape is the truth.
Enter on the Second Bar
After the breakout bar, wait for the second bar. If retracement is 50% or less of the first bar, enter with the trend. Full retrace? Stand down.
Stop Under the Second Bar
Hard stop placed just beyond the low (long) or high (short) of the second bar. Non-negotiable. The stop is the trade.
Trail with the 20 MA (15-min)
Ride the trend using the 20-period moving average on the 15-minute chart as your trailing stop. Let the market tell you when it's over.
