AXIS 7D METHODOLOGY COACH

INCONSISTENT RULE

Max risk per trade is 0.5%, but 27 trades this period exceeded this threshold. Consider reviewing position sizing workflow.

UNDEFINED EXIT

Exit philosophy mentions "structure target" but no quantitative definition exists. This may lead to inconsistent exits.

METHODOLOGY DRIFT

Countertrend entries (18% of trades) are not consistent with stated "trend continuation only" philosophy.

MISSING REVIEW CRITERIA

Monthly review process does not include a methodology adherence check. Consider adding this step.

AXIS 7D identifies patterns and inconsistencies but does not change your methodology without your approval. All suggestions require your review.
