The Plan That Can Be Tested

Most trading plans are statements of intent, and intentions cannot be measured. This paper treats the plan as a specification: every decision named in advance, written so that a stranger — or a machine — could apply it without asking you a question. It sets out the seven fields a plan needs, the difference between a rule and a preference, how to test one without fooling yourself, and what actually changes when a plan becomes code.
