The Six-Field Plan.

The Six-Field Plan is the discipline format institutional desks live in, condensed to a paragraph you can write before every trade. "I will buy if it pulls back to support" is not a trade plan. It is a daydream. The reason most retail plans fail is that they are verbal, vague, and reconstructed after the fact to fit whatever happened. The six-field format exists to fix this — the minimum information required to make a trade falsifiable.

You will leave with the six fields fully defined (Thesis, Entry, Stop, Target, Size, Time), the one-sentence rule for each, three worked examples across asset classes, the journal entry that follows from the plan, and the common mistakes that turn a six-field discipline back into a vibe. The cost is two minutes per trade. The benefit is a journal that survives memory bias and a process that improves quarter over quarter.
