A real trading process is not a collection of favorite indicators. It is a chain of decisions that can be repeated, reviewed, and improved over time. Without that chain, performance becomes random and every outcome feels personal.
Your process should define context, trigger, invalidation, size, management, and review. If one of those elements is vague, the entire decision weakens. Traders often spend too much time searching for better entries and not enough time tightening the structure around those entries.
The goal is not to build a perfect process on day one. The goal is to build one honest enough that your mistakes can be seen clearly and corrected systematically.
