Guide
A trading playbook turns good setups into repeatable rules.
A playbook example should make one setup tradeable: when it appears, what confirms it, where it is invalid, how risk is handled, and how it will be reviewed.
Setup definition
Entry trigger
Invalidation rule
Review criteria
Example: breakout failure
Context: failed high or low. Trigger: reclaim plus volume shift. Invalidation: failed reclaim. Review: whether the trade was reaction or planned reversal.
Example: no-trade rule
A strong playbook also says when not to trade: after max loss, during major news, or when the setup is late.
Keep examples connected
Attach real trades and screenshots to the playbook so rules evolve from evidence, not memory.
Common questions
What should a trading playbook include?
A trading playbook should include setup context, entry trigger, invalidation, stop, target, risk rules, screenshots, checklist, and review criteria.
How many setups should be in a playbook?
Start with one to three setups you can define clearly. A small playbook that is followed beats a large playbook that becomes vague.
