A short checklist before you trust a retracement zone

Worksheets from the Intensive end with the same five prompts. They fit on a sticky note beside a monitor.

1. Did I name the impulse in one sentence? If not, stop.
2. Would a colleague accept these anchors without seeing my trade idea? Pair review exists for this reason.
3. Which prior structure sits near 38.2, 50, or 61.8? Empty zones deserve skepticism.
4. Where is invalidation relative to 78.6 or the swing extreme? A pullback plan without a void level is a wish.
5. What would I write if this grid fails? Failure notes keep the next chart honest.

Using the list outside class

Run the five questions on a chart you already traded last month. Do not change the historical outcome — change whether your written plan would have survived the checklist. That gap is usually where Lab evenings help most.

Reminder

Deployment Digital does not turn this checklist into automated alerts. It is a human habit for Fibonacci retracement and extension practice, nothing more.
