Research-to-plan handoff

Questions to answer before creating a trade plan

A filing review can support a thesis, but it does not define an entry or acceptable risk. MSPT keeps these planning decisions explicit.

• What filing evidence must remain true for the thesis to hold?
• What market or company condition would justify considering an entry?
• What structural development would invalidate the plan rather than create a temporary price fluctuation?
• How would the proposed position affect portfolio weight and risk if a plan were created?
• Which filing, thesis date, or company event should trigger the next review?

These are planning prompts, not suggested prices, position sizes, trade signals, or personalized investment advice.
