Case: Building a checklist from scattered habits
Reader: An experienced equity watcher who had traded for four years but never wrote down a morning sequence.
Starting point: Opened charts at 7:30, scrolled multiple timeframes, applied four indicators, and often entered before identifying a clear daily level.
Intervention: Eight weeks of Routine Coaching with weekly chart submissions. Weeks 1–2 documented existing habits. Weeks 3–4 stripped indicators down to volume only. Weeks 5–8 added scenario templates.
Outcome: Final checklist had six steps, completed in 22 minutes on average. Reader reported fewer impulsive entries on range days and continued attending Friday prep sessions for accountability.
Reservation noted: Reader mentioned video sessions felt slightly less focused than in-person weeks — a trade-off they accepted for convenience.
