No-trade conditions
Build a repeatable chain: context → trigger → entry → invalidation.
Step 1 · A skip as work
You write skip conditions in advance.
Then “I don't want to miss it” can't argue with the plan. Missing even one setup condition means no trade.
Setup conditionsscheme Step 2 · No MSS
Lows got swept, but no MSS means no setup.
SOL 15m, Aug 23, 2025: price swept the 198.41 low and closed back above. No close above 200.82; at 01:15 it broke 198.11.
Rule: no MSS within 10 candles means you drop the markup, no trade.

Stop wider than your rules allow: you skip the trade.
BTC 4h: the stop is $958 away, 1.9% of price. Your rulebook caps it at 1%.
This trade played out: +1.6R. Skipping by the rule sometimes costs you a win, and that's fine.

News nearby: the stop won't hold.
ETH 15m, Feb 7, 2023, Powell's speech: the 17:45 candle moved $36 — more than price moved in the 6 hours before it ($21).
Rule: don't enter within 15 minutes of news — check the calendar before the session.
