You Knew the Setup—But You Waited for a Feeling Instead
• A-tier level in tech triggered with structure and volume as planned, but was ignored in real time.
• Main excuse: “it didn’t look strong enough at first”, despite full alignment with prep.
• Ernie clarified: strength is defined by your prep—your feelings don’t override edge.
• Late trades confirmed worse execution and emotional risk management.
• Team once again failed to use starter-size, even though it was highlighted as the bridge between plan and action.
• Thursday’s mandate: no feelings, no edits—first clean trigger = trade. Log result or log the avoidance.
Summary
the team reviewed a clean A-tier trigger in tech that aligned with the morning prep across level, volume, and structure. Despite this, no one took the trade. The most common reason: “It didn’t feel strong enough.”
Ernie called this out as the root problem: emotional interpretation post-trigger is not part of the process. Your prep defines strength. If you change the rules in real time, you’re no longer trading the system—you’re trading your fear.
The team acknowledged that starter-size could’ve helped—but didn’t use it. Late entries once again resulted in inferior fills, tighter risk, and erratic trade management.
The challenge for Thursday is locked in: trade the first valid A-tier trigger. Use starter-size. There’s no benefit in waiting for a better “feel.” The decision was made in prep—your job is to execute or log why you didn’t.

You Had the Plan—But Let Emotion Rewrite It Live
• A-tier breakout setup in financials was mapped and triggered, yet skipped by most of the team.
• Hesitation centered around the opening bar being “too fast” or “not convincing enough.”
• Ernie reminded the team: speed and emotion are not criteria—structure and volume are.
• Those who entered late faced worse fills and emotionally driven stop decisions.
• Starter-size protocol was mentioned in prep but wasn’t executed when it mattered.
• Monday’s directive: trigger = entry. Don’t outsource the decision to how the bar “feels.”
Summary
the team reviewed another instance of prep aligning perfectly—but execution falling apart at the live moment. A clean A-tier setup in financials hit the defined level with volume, yet it was skipped due to hesitation around the speed and look of the entry candle.
Ernie emphasized again: the prep is the decision. Once the plan lines up, there’s no need to reinterpret the entry based on pace or comfort. Emotional discomfort isn’t a signal—it’s a trap.
The team acknowledged that most post-trade rationalizations were emotional, not structural. Those who entered late found themselves managing trades reactively rather than with intent, further distancing themselves from the original plan.
The missed use of starter-size entries came up again, showing a disconnect between verbalized prep and actual execution.
