Trade Checklist
Run every trade through your playbook before you pull the trigger — pick your trader profile and direction, toggle the confluences that are present, and get a live score with a letter grade and a tradeable verdict. Save trades, log outcomes, and find out which rules actually win.
FAQs
What is a confluence score?
Confluence is how many independent reasons agree with your trade idea. Each condition in the checklist carries a weight set by the playbook author; the score is the weight you toggled on divided by the maximum possible for your direction, as a percent. More aligned conditions, higher score.
How is the letter grade calculated?
Fixed bands on the total score: 90% or more is A+, 80–89 is A, 70–79 is B, 60–69 is C, 50–59 is D, and below 50 is F. The bands are the same for every profile, so grades stay comparable across playbooks.
What makes a trade “not tradeable”?
Two things: scoring below the profile’s tradeable threshold, or leaving any required condition unchecked. Required items are non-negotiables like having a stop loss set — they gate the verdict no matter how high the score is.
Why can I still save a trade that is not tradeable?
Because the data is valuable. The save is tagged as a discipline breach, and the Journal shows how breach trades perform against clean ones. Most traders find that comparison more persuasive than a hard lock they would just work around.
Why do Buy and Sell show different conditions?
Setups are directional — a bullish engulfing close means nothing for a short. Conditions are authored to apply to buys, sells, or both, and the checklist plus its maximum score adapt to the side you picked.
Where is my trade history stored?
In your browser’s localStorage, on your device, under keys starting with mrpnl:trade-checklist. Nothing is sent to a server, there is no account, and clearing site data deletes it — use Export to download a JSON backup, and Import to restore it or move to another machine.
What is an R-multiple?
Your result measured in units of initial risk. Risking $100 and making $250 is +2.5R; losing the full risk is -1R. Logging R instead of dollars makes trades of different sizes comparable, and the Journal’s cumulative R curve shows whether the playbook earns more than it loses.
How many trades before the Journal means anything?
Treat anything under about 20 decided trades as noise. Per-rule win rates only display once a condition has appeared in at least 5 decided trades, and even then a few more flips can move the number a lot — look for stable patterns, not one-off readings.
