Watchlist & Trade Idea Journal Card

How to use this template

• Fill this out before the session starts, using whatever screening or scanning process you already trust — this card is where the idea gets written down, not where it gets found.
• The invalidation level is the point that proves the thesis wrong, not just a stop-loss price picked after the fact. Write it down before the open so it can't silently move once you're in the trade.
• The end-of-day section is what turns this into a record instead of a to-do list: comparing what you wrote in the morning against what you actually did is the part that catches drift between plan and execution over time.
• This template has no scoring, timer, or auto-generation. If you want a full session plan built from your account size and risk rules instead of a blank watchlist, see the related tool below.
