The Logic Routehub chart review process
Every training session follows the same five-stage sequence. The order matters — skipping a stage is the most common reason participants later report acting on impulse.
Gather session context
Before opening a chart, note the calendar: earnings, macro releases, and whether the prior session closed near its high, low, or mid-range. Write one sentence describing the expected environment — trending, range-bound, or news-driven.
Mark no more than five levels
Horizontal lines only for levels that would change your bias if breached. Prior day high and low count as two. Add overnight gap boundaries, a weekly pivot if relevant, and one invalidation level. More lines create confusion, not clarity.
Read the opening auction
Watch the first fifteen minutes without placing a trade. Compare volume at the open to the twenty-day average. Ask whether price is accepting or rejecting the overnight gap. State aloud: "I will look for longs above X" or "I stay flat until Y breaks."
Complete the decision statement
Before any entry, fill in four fields: directional bias, specific trigger (not "it looks strong"), stop location with a price, and target or time-based exit. If any field is blank, the trade is not ready.
Journal against the marks
After the session, compare your actual entries to the levels you marked that morning. Circle discrepancies. Bring one example to the next Logic Routehub review session for group discussion.
What the process looks like in practice
During a typical Tuesday morning cohort, participants work through a FTSE 100 five-minute chart while the instructor pauses at each stage to ask questions rather than give answers.
Verbal accountability
Saying your trigger aloud in a group of five makes vague reasoning obvious immediately. Most participants report this as the highest-value part of the session.
Same chart, different reads
Two traders often mark different invalidation levels on identical price action. Comparing reasoning builds tolerance for ambiguity without abandoning structure.
Repeatable at home
The checklist fits on a single index card. Participants who tape it beside their monitor use it on non-session days without instructor presence.
