Even a well-researched trading idea deserves a quick check before you act on it — a habit that protects you from following ideas that no longer fit your situation.

Check the Risk-Reward

Confirm the distance to the stop-loss versus the distance to the target — if the risk-reward doesn’t make sense for you, the idea isn’t automatically right just because someone else shared it.

Check Your Own Position Sizing

A good idea can still be a bad trade if sized incorrectly for your capital. Recalculate position size based on your own account, not a generic suggestion.

Check for Conflicting Context

If the idea contradicts the broader index trend or an upcoming major event, weigh that context before entering — even a solid setup can be riskier in a conflicting environment.
