Make the setup concrete

A setup name is only a starting point. Write the conditions, intended entry, exit rules and what would invalidate the idea. Pro visual playbooks can hold private chart examples and annotations alongside the strategy context.

Practise one decision

Choose available replay data and pause before the decision. Record what you see, then advance the candles. Compare your entry, stop and target with the rules you wrote before knowing what came next.

Keep practice separate

Replay entries and outcomes are simulated. Cybill saves practice separately from journal performance and broker balances. Historical candles do not recreate every live fill, spread or execution condition. Pro includes replay practice.

Quick check

Should a replay win be counted in live account performance?
