trade-execution-checklist

A pre-trade checklist for risk management validates your trade thesis, calculates position sizing from portfolio risk limits, and sets stop-loss targets. You define entry prices, risk-reward ratios, and invalidation conditions before execution to prevent uncontrolled exposure.

Trade thesis validation forces a clear one-sentence thesis, identifies catalysts, and defines invalidation conditions before entering. It prevents poorly planned executions by requiring explicit risk-per-trade constraints and timeframes, ensuring you only execute trades passing strict checklist criteria.

To calculate position size from stop-loss distance, input your portfolio risk limits and entry method into a checklist. The system computes the risk-reward ratio and checks sizing thresholds against your stop-loss and take-profit targets to verify execution readiness.

Yes, a trading execution checklist applies to both on-chain and exchange workflows. It verifies liquidity, addresses slippage and gas fees, and checks for overexposure across long and short planning, ensuring post-entry discipline like moving stops after TP1 is maintained.

A basic execution checklist focuses on thesis validation, position sizing, and pass/fail risk-reward recommendations. It does not provide advanced automated execution, complex multi-leg strategy modeling, or real-time market data integration beyond structured pre-trade risk control checks.
