Before/after screenshot

Turn trades into facts, rules, and drills — not into emotions after the result.

3 min · 5 steps

  1. Step 1 · The “before” screenshot

    You take the “before” screenshot at the moment of entry.

    SOL 15m, Jun 15, 2023: it shows the sweep, the MSS, the entry 14.70, the stop 14.86, the target 14.18. There's no future in it.

  2. Step 2 · The “after” screenshot

    The “after” screenshot comes at the exit.

    The stop was hit at 21:00: −1R. Next to the “before” screenshot you can see: there was a plan, the market just didn't go your way.

  3. Step 3 · The pair

    With the pair, you can't rewrite the plan after the fact.

    SOL 1h, Apr 25, 2023: the 22.02 target was on the “before” shot, and price hit it, +2.5R. Without the pair, “the target was there” proves nothing.

  4. Step 4 · Find it yourself

    When do you take the “before” screenshot?

    SOL 15m, Jun 15, 2023. Tap the candle where the plan became a trade.

  5. Step 5 · Recap

    Shoot every trade twice: before and after.

    takeaway

    Every trade gets two screenshots: before the entry and after the exit.

    The “Screenshot” field on the trade. It isn't checked automatically.
