Description

The Signal Planning Worksheet is an essential tool for crypto traders looking to manage trade setups based on technical signals. Designed for offline, printable use, this worksheet provides a structured layout to plan, evaluate, and track multiple trading signals—whether from manual chart analysis or third-party indicators. It includes dedicated fields for signal type (e.g., RSI overbought, MACD crossover, bullish divergence), signal source (manual, scanner, alert), related asset, timeframe, entry zone, confirmation method, risk/reward ratio, and stop-loss/take-profit levels. The sheet also features a checklist section to ensure signal quality: Was the signal accompanied by volume confirmation? Does it align with the trend? Is it part of a larger pattern? Users are encouraged to score each signal from 1 to 5 based on strength and consistency, helping prioritize the most reliable setups. For swing or day traders handling multiple trades, the worksheet allows side-by-side comparison of 3–5 signals, making it easier to allocate capital efficiently. Additional space is provided to sketch candle formations or attach a mini printout of the chart for visual analysis. A reference section includes reminders about common false signal traps, how to combine signals across timeframes, and when to ignore weak alerts. Created for repeated use, it can be printed daily or weekly depending on the trading frequency. Ideal for traders who prefer analog-style preparation, it reinforces analytical thinking and prevents impulsive trades based on weak signals. The Signal Planning Worksheet improves focus, strategy discipline, and ultimately, trade success by enabling traders to make decisions grounded in well-documented logic.
