Trusting Prep and Executing Without Delay
• Recurring hesitation on A-rated setups, even when pre-market levels were hit precisely.
• Missed follow-through opportunities in tech, where over-filtering led to skipped trades that later performed as expected.
• Adjustment to pre-market routine, adding 5-minute visualization drills to reinforce execution readiness.
• Reinforced use of starter entries, especially during first-hour volatility, to reduce overthinking and improve positioning.
• Losses came mostly from B-tier trades, while skipped trades were predominantly from clean A-setups—highlighting misalignment in focus.
• Team-wide goal set for the week: execute the first A-rated setup without hesitation, regardless of external noise or recent results.
Summary
the team reflected on hesitation and execution misalignment. A key theme was the repeated skipping of clean, A-rated setups—despite those trades lining up exactly with pre-market plans. Ernie emphasized that hesitation is still costing more than losses and that confidence must come from the prep, not from in-the-moment overanalysis.
The team missed several strong follow-through moves in the tech sector after over-filtering during live sessions. As a result, a refinement was made to the pre-market routine: a new 5-minute visualization drill will be added to help cement confidence and readiness for high-conviction trades.
Starter entries were again recommended, particularly in the first hour, to avoid overthinking and ensure better positioning early. Notably, most losses during the week came from B-tier setups, while the most profitable opportunities were missed due to second-guessing A-setups—highlighting a misalignment in execution priorities.
The meeting closed with a clear goal: this week, each team member is to execute the first clean A-rated setup they see, without hesitation—resetting momentum and realigning execution with preparation.
