A Metavulus playbook turns a trading idea into written rules: market condition, setup thesis, entry trigger, invalidation, risk limits, checklist criteria, and journal review. It is a process tool, not a signal room.
Educational workflow only. A playbook is a rule set for your own process, not a guarantee of profit.
What a playbook contains
The playbook page is for traders who want to document the conditions that make a setup valid before attaching it to journal entries and checklist runs.
The market condition and logic that must exist before the idea is considered.
The specific confirmation that turns a watchlist idea into an executable plan.
The price, event, or context that proves the idea is no longer valid.
Sizing, max loss, session filters, and conditions that prevent forced trades.
Why it matters
A playbook gives you templates, rules, and a way to make your setups measurable. Metavulus connects the playbook to checklists, journals, and performance review.
Use the playbook to define what must be true before entering.
Use the checklist to verify that the setup still matches the rules.
Use the journal to compare the trade against the written playbook.
Browse shared playbooks for examples, then adapt them to your own risk rules.
The goal is not to predict every move. The goal is to make your process visible enough that it can be reviewed.
01
Write the setup rules before the trade exists.
02
Run the checklist and only trade when the setup still fits.
03
Link journal entries to the playbook and review performance by rule set.
A trading playbook is a written rule set for a repeatable setup, including thesis, entry trigger, invalidation, risk rules, and review criteria.
No. A signal tells someone what to trade. A playbook defines the conditions a trader uses to decide whether their own setup is valid.
Yes. The public marketplace can provide examples, but each trader still needs to adapt risk, invalidation, and rules to their own plan.
