1. Choose one main skill
Start with an observable question: do I check quantity before submitting, distinguish a pending order from a position, or record my reason before seeing the outcome? The objective should describe an action. “Win today” does not specify the behaviour you need to learn.
Revisit the related lesson and choose a scenario that makes the skill observable. Reserve time for review afterwards. A short exercise with a complete review gives more information about your process than a long one with a record you cannot explain.
2. Complete the details that shape practice
Record the exact instrument, units, date, time zone, window and scenario source. Read execution rules and modelled costs. Explicitly identify a synthetic demonstration. An invented price used to teach mechanics must not be presented as real historical data.
Distinguish verified information from assumptions. If a point value is necessary but missing, the calculation exercise is incomplete. Consult a source or change exercises; filling the gap with an intuitive number prevents a correct assessment.
3. Set actions, limits and a stopping condition
Synthetic plan: practise one opening and one closing with one unit; check state after each action; do not open a second position; stop when unable to explain a fill. These are exercise rules rather than an investment strategy.
Specify what happens when conditions do not appear and which pauses are allowed. A maximum is not a quota: if the plan permits two decisions, you do not have to make two. Waiting may be the action consistent with the rules.
4. Design the review before starting
Keep the initial plan. At the end, compare rules and actions using attempt times or screenshots. Record simulated results and costs separately. Choose the next task from the evidence without retrospectively changing the objective.
- Objective and skill check.
- Instrument, units, context and assumptions.
- Permitted actions, limit and stopping condition.
- Evidence to preserve and a review question.
