The Trading Floor — Tab 3 of 9

Setups

Structured trade plans

Setups bridge research and execution. Each plan links to an active thesis, carries entry, stop, target, leverage, and portfolio context, and runs through guardrail validation before becoming a live team_trade on the blotter.

How it fits the floor
