Every trader should have a trading checklist for their buy and sell signals. More importantly, that trading checklist should be prioritized to increase your confidence in the trading signals provided by the market.

Join John Bougearel for this live webinar event introducing his “10-Point Trading Checklist” along with tips on how you can consistently integrate the weighted checklist into the trade signals that you take.

A sample of John’s checklist items attendees will learn to use include:

  • Overnight highs and lows as benchmarks for increasing confidence levels in your trading signals
  • Practice agnosticism, eliminate your biases, have faith in your trading signals
  • "Look-Back Periods" to uncover the most relevant behavioral patterns
  • Market profile and point and figure concepts to identify key short term points of control and false auctions
  • "Look-Ahead Periods" to discern what the market needs to discount next

By deploying the weighted trading checklist, traders can identify very short term confirmation or non-confirmation signals. Risk is always the highest immediately after putting on the trade. It's imperative that traders know how to find instant confirmations or non-confirmations of their trading signals. Confirmations will increase the confidence level of the trading signals and dis-confirmations warn the trader to cover the open position and prevent against loss.
