Do you have a plan for today

As I said in that Kirkreport strategy session, I have created structure around my setups and methods and checklist. This is one example of that. Every day morning I use this planning sheet to structure my thinking. Like this there are several tools I use to keep focused and avoid noise.


Do you have a plan for today or are you going to play it by seat of your pant
What is your trading plan for pre market
Which method would you focus on in pre market
If you identify a good EP in pre market how will you enter it
Have you looked at last nights earnings
What are the 2-3 best opportunities you must watch at open from that list
What method is your primary focus for first 2 hours after market open
What is your view/bias about market direction today
What is the view based on
Is it based on historical tendencies
Is it based on breadth model like Market Monitor
If it is bullish what is your plan
If it is bearish what is your plan 
Are you comfortable with your current positions
Which one you want to carry forward
Which one you want to close today
which ones you want to add to or reduce
What psychological tendencies do I need to watch for today
Am I in right emotional state to trade profitably today
