Money and behavior are scored separately and neither excuses the other. A green day can still break the plan; a red day can still be flawless. Checks that could not be judged, and rules whose situation never arose, are excluded rather than counted as failures — and the daily profit target is a milestone, so missing it never lowers these scores.

Journal
Grade APremarket plan
Two names on the watchlist with real catalysts and float in range. Plan was two trades maximum, size small, and stop trading by 8:15.
Notes
Both trades came from the plan. Took the first at a level I had marked premarket rather than reacting to the open, and the second on a clean break of the high with volume behind it. Closed both before the cutoff.
What went well
Zero improvisation. Every entry was inside the window, both stops were set before the fill, and I did not touch a third name when the second one worked.
What needs improvement
Left roughly ten cents on the table in VRNA by exiting into the first pause. That is a scaling problem, not a discipline problem.
