Daily Meeting for Friday June 13

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.
