The Moving Train

Chasing the move

The moment

The market is running and you are not in it.

The pattern

When the market moves without you, you enter the move, not your setup.

Why it matters

When that happens, you are in a trade your rules did not choose. It tells you nothing about your setup. If you log it, it sits in your Journal beside the trades that follow your rules.

The one habit

When the market is moving without you, run the chart check and score the setup at Before entry before you place an order. Then press "Enter trade" or "Pass — wait for a better setup".

Where it is trained

Score a trade → Before entry. If your rules are not on the chart, the score lists them under "Rule gaps found", and a required rule that is not met holds it at 55 at most. A pass is saved as a Passed setup and never lowers your Discipline score.

Every plan. 1 credit per score; the chart check is free.
