The Practitioner's Oath
I AM AN OBSERVER
I am not a predictor. I do not trade what I think will happen.
“I trade only what IS happening.”
I execute only when there is FTFC alignment.
I execute only when signals are In Force across timeframes.
I enter on reversals at the edge of broadening formations.
I add size strictly on continuations.
I do not chase long green and red bars; I wait for lower timeframe setups.
I defend magnitude pivot targets vigorously and trail runners through expansion.
I do not violate position sizing. I do not revenge trade.
I do not anticipate triggers — I execute on the break.
