Trading plan

Written rules for market selection, setup, entry, size, exit, review and conditions for not trading.

Trading plan is a specific Trading coordinate in the Bitcoin knowledge graph. In practical terms, it identifies the subject described here: Written rules for market selection, setup, entry, size, exit, review and conditions for not trading. This definition is narrower than promotional usage and should be read together with the implementation, date and evidence attached to the entry.

Trading plan is best understood as part of a system rather than as an isolated definition. Its related coordinates show the mechanisms, incentives and historical records that give the term practical meaning.

Trading plan describes how participants value, trade or obtain exposure to bitcoin. Market behavior can affect adoption and mining economics, but it does not rewrite consensus rules. Price evidence and protocol evidence answer different questions.

Understanding Trading plan helps distinguish a verifiable Bitcoin mechanism or historical record from slogans, products and market narratives.

Primary or authoritative records make these details checkable: a trading plan predefines eligible markets, signals, sizing, risk limits, execution, review and stop conditions before outcomes are known; versioning preserves which rules governed each decision. They should be verified before using the coordinate in analysis.

The practical limit is: a written plan is not evidence of positive expectancy and rigid rules can fail under structural change; model risk, liquidity, outages, human overrides and governance still require limits. A definition, office, chart pattern or published claim is not by itself a prediction or Bitcoin consensus rule.
