Zoom out before
you zoom in.

Use a short market brief to put a signal in context. Record what you know, what you think and what would prove you wrong.

Complete your brief, then print or save a copy for your journal.

Keep it honest

A useful brief does not predict the future. It makes your assumptions visible so you can review them later without rewriting history.
