Execution Notes

These are not market updates.

They’re observations about how trading decisions change under pressure.


What these notes focus on

Execution Notes explore moments where trading usually breaks —

not because of bad analysis, but because of how decisions are made.

Common themes include:

  • acting too early

  • overstaying good ideas

  • forcing trades after inactivity

  • difficulty standing aside

  • rule-bending that feels reasonable in the moment

These are not mistakes most traders make once.

They are patterns.


How to read these posts

Don’t read them looking for trades.

Read them looking for:

  • moments that feel uncomfortably familiar

  • decisions you recognize instantly

  • situations you’ve justified before

If a post makes you pause or feel exposed,

that’s usually the point.


What these notes are not

  • not lessons

  • not checklists

  • not psychological advice

  • not post-mortems of PnL

They are observations, written close to real trading conditions.


Why this matters

Most trading damage doesn’t come from lack of knowledge.

It comes from:

  • acting when restraint was required

  • trading when conditions weren’t aligned

  • making decisions in the wrong state

Execution Notes exist to make those moments visible.


If these resonate

That usually means you already know how to trade.

What’s missing isn’t information —

it’s clarity at the moment decisions matter.

Structure provides context, but decisions are made in real time.
