Before entering a position, run through these four filters based on your post: The "Why" Test: Am I entering because of a chart pattern (Structure) or because I saw a rocket emoji on my feed (Emotion)? The Invalidation Point: If the price hits X, I am wrong and I will exit. (If you don't have X, you aren't trading—you're gambling). The Volume Check: If it's a breakout, is there actual "fuel" (volume), or is it a low-liquidity trap? The Patience Tax: Am I chasing a green candle because I missed the move? (Wait for the retest—the market almost always gives a second chance). 💡 A Pro-Tip on "Neutral Sentiment" You mentioned entering when sentiment is neutral or fearful. A great way to quantify this is the Fear & Greed Index. Extreme Greed: Usually time to trim profits. Extreme Fear: Usually where your "Smart Positioning" begins.
