Trading plan — template dla retail tradera
Marek 2 lata trading bez plan. Win rate inconsistent (35-65%), -€4 200 net. Po napisaniu formal trading plan (10 sekcji, 12 stron): win rate stable 58%, +€8 500/year. Same intelligence, same time, plan zmienił wyniki. Tu pokazujemy template.
Czym jest trading plan
Trading plan = pisemny dokument definiujący kompletną strategy: kiedy entry, kiedy exit, ile risk, jak react emotionally. Length 5-15 stron typically.
Cel: pre-commitment device against emotions.
- Bez planu = randomized trading, każda decyzja wymaga emotional energy
- Z planem = mechanical execution z pre-decided rules
Statistics: 80% retail traderów nie ma formal plan. Directly correlated z 80% loss rate.
10 sections template
Section 4 — entry criteria (najważniejsze)
Entry criteria muszą być completely mechanical. Anyone can read i replicate.
Bad example: „Long when bullish setup looks good" (subjective, useless).
Good example:
Long EUR/USD H4 entry — wszystkie warunki:
1. D1 trend up (50 EMA > 200 EMA, ADX > 25)
2. Cena retrace do 50 EMA na H4
3. RSI(14) bounce z 40-50 area
4. Bullish engulfing candle close
5. Bullish FVG na M15 (within 6h)
6. No major news 2h horizon
7. ATR(14) > average (sufficient volatility)
7 specific conditions. Beginnerzy minimum 4. Pros 6-8.
Section 6 — position sizing
Formula:
Lot = (Account × Risk%) / (SL_pips × Pip_Value)
Przykład:
- Account: €10 000
- Risk: 1% = €100
- SL: 1.5×ATR(14) = 120 pips (EUR/USD)
- Pip value: €10
- Lot: 100 / (120 × 10) = 0.083 (round 0.08)
Niezależnie od pair, same dollar risk. ATR-adjusted automatic.
Section 7 — risk management
Hard limits:
- Max daily loss: -2% account = stop trading rest of day
- Max weekly loss: -5% account = pause to next week
- Max monthly drawdown: -10% = strategy review
- Max drawdown overall: -15% = pause, mentor consultation
- Recovery rules: po -5% drawdown, reduce size 50% until recover
Section 8 — psychology rules
Pre-trade checklist:
- Did sleep 7+ hours? (no = no trading)
- HRV > baseline? (low = rest day)
- Plan re-read this morning? (no = re-read first)
- No emotional events (anger, family stress)? (yes = no trading)
- Hydrated, fed, exercised? (priorities)
No revenge trading rules:
- Po stracie > 1R, wait 24h przed next trade
- Po -3% daily, stop trading całkowicie do następnego dnia
- Walk away od ekranu po stracie minimum 30 min
„Plan = pre-commitment device. Decisions made cold, executed mechanically. Bez planu = emotions decydują = lose."
Section 10 — review process
Plan = living document. Schedule:
- Weekly (Sunday): past week trades audit, did execute? deviations?
- Monthly: cumulative metrics. Edge confirmed? Position sizing OK? Psychology issues?
- Quarterly: macro changed? Strategy adjustments needed?
- Yearly: complete plan rewrite. Goals achieved? New markets/strategies?
Most retail nigdy nie review. Strategy ages, edge dies. Pro retail (5+ yrs) review monthly minimum.

(1) Trader profile: experience, time available, risk tolerance, goals. (2) Market focus: pairs (np. EUR/USD, GBP/USD), TF (H4 swing). (3) Strategy edge: dlaczego twoja strategy works (statistical evidence). (4) Entry criteria: exact conditions (e.g. RSI < 30 + cena na S1 + bullish engulfing). (5) Exit rules: SL distance, TP target, trailing rules. (6) Position sizing: % risk per trade (1%), formula. (7) Risk management: max daily loss (-2%), max drawdown (-15%), recovery rules. (8) Psychology rules: pre-trade checklist, no revenge trading, daily routine. (9) Performance metrics: win rate, R:R, expectancy targets. (10) Review process: weekly review, monthly metrics, quarterly strategy update.
Jak pisać entry criteria?
Najważniejsza sekcja. Musi być completely mechanical — anyone can read i replicate. Bad example: „Long when bullish setup looks good" (subjective, useless). Good example: „Long EUR/USD H4 when ALL of: (1) D1 trend up (50 EMA > 200 EMA), (2) ADX(14) > 25 (trending), (3) Cena retraces to 50 EMA H4, (4) RSI(14) bounces from 40-50 area, (5) Bullish engulfing candle close, (6) No major news 2h horizon". 6 specific, mechanical conditions. Beginnerzy powinni mieć minimum 4 conditions per setup. Pros 6-8. Less conditions = more setups, więcej noise. More conditions = fewer setups, higher quality. Quality > quantity dla retail.
Review process?
Plan jest living document — musi być reviewed i updated. Schedule: Weekly review (Sunday): check past week trades, did execute plan? Win rate, R:R metrics. Identify deviations. Monthly review: cumulative metrics. Edge confirmed lub deteriorating? Position sizing adequate? Psychology issues? Quarterly review: macro environment changed? Strategy still profitable? Need adjustments? Yearly review: complete plan rewrite. Goals achieved? New trader profile, new markets, new strategies? Praktyka: most retail traderów nigdy nie review plan. Strategy ages, market regime changes, edge dies. Without review = strategy decay. Pro retail (5+ yrs profitable) review monthly minimum.
