Trading Process
Environment
Also called: market environment, market conditions, this environment
The overall market condition that determines whether setups have a chance of working. A perfect setup in a bad environment will fail most of the time and you'll spend months wondering what's wrong with your entries when the entries were fine. Context beats setup every time and the environment is always the first thing I evaluate.

“Environment over setup, in a strong market too I usually bring this up in a bad market where even the best setup can fail.”

“Entry tactics have to match the environment I'm a weakness buyer by default, but if I wait for pullbacks in an environment like this I never get in.”
