The CIFRA method
Five questions to answer before you even look for an entry.
One word. Five questions.
CIFRA
Do the thinking before you click.
Developed by Francesco and refined with Ciro on the risk side. Five steps to read the context and decide whether a trade is actually there.
Intent
What is price telling us?
Read the order flow and test the idea, without mistaking a hunch for a fact.
Filter
Is everything in place?
Timing and setup confirmation. If something's missing, we wait.
Risk
Where is the idea wrong?
Stop, position size and risk, all set before entry.
Action
Does the plan justify the trade?
Execute only when context and timing line up. Then manage it and review it.
If one condition is missing, we wait. Sitting on your hands is a decision too.
