You don’t need a complex system. You just need clarity.
In a market where every breakout looks real (until it isn’t) and every bounce feels tempting (until it fades), the difference between a random entry and a high-quality setup often comes down to asking the right questions — before you click buy.
Here are the three questions every trade should be able to answer — regardless of your strategy, timeframe, or style.
1. Is There Structure?
You can call it a setup, a base, or a coil — but there has to be something price is respecting.
That could mean
Holding above a recent low
Consolidating tightly before a breakout
Printing clean higher lows
Reacting to a moving average or previous swing level
Structure gives you confidence that you’re not the only one watching — and that matters. Good trades attract participation.
On Sahi, spotting structure becomes faster with clean SMA overlays, anchored VWAP zones, and multi-timeframe charting that doesn’t lag when it matters.
Noise to structure — can you see the difference?
2. Is There Context?
Even the cleanest chart needs a backdrop. Ask yourself: Does this move make sense in the bigger picture?
Consider:
What’s the broader market doing?
Is the sector gaining strength or losing it?
Is there volume, delivery, or news flow backing this move?
A setup without context is like a solid car on the wrong road — it might move, but probably not far. Context tells you whether your trade has momentum behind it, or whether you’re trying to force something that isn’t ready.
3. Is the Risk-Reward Obvious?
If you’re guessing where to place your stop, you’re not ready to enter.
Great setups define the risk for you. The invalidation point should be clear. And the potential reward should be worth it — not just in theory, but based on nearby structure and market behavior.
Pro mindset: Define the risk before you think about the reward. If your stop is vague or your upside is barely 1:1, it’s not the one.
Quick Recap Before You Enter That Trade
Structure — Is price respecting a key level or setup?
Context — Is this aligned with the broader market or sector strength?
Risk-Reward — Can you define both without guessing?
If two out of three aren’t clear, it’s probably a pass.
Sahi’s Take
We built Sahi to help you answer these three questions faster — with structure, momentum, and volume cues all visible without switching tabs or second-guessing entries.
Tuesdays are when setups start to form after Monday’s noise. But they’re also when overtrading happens.
A simple checklist like this can help you stay selective — and sharp.
Because sometimes, the best trades aren’t the ones you take —they’re the ones you wait for.
