Course 02 · Foundation
Mechanical systems
Rule-based setups written down before the session, so nothing is decided mid-trade.
← All coursesA setup you can describe but not write down is a feeling. This course turns the structural reading into conditions on paper: what has to be true, in what order, before a trade exists at all.
The point of writing them down is that they can then be broken visibly. A mechanical rule fails loudly; a discretionary one quietly rewrites itself after the fact.
What you can do after it
- Write a setup as rules another trader could follow
- Know before the open what you are waiting for
- Pass on a session without feeling like you missed out
