Step 1: Name the State (Hexagram)

Before any trade, write which of the 64 archetypal states this situation resembles: accumulation, breakout, exhaustion, capitulation. Naming the state forces specificity — 'breakout' implies a level, a volume test, and a failure point. Ambiguous situations get no trade.

Step 2: Record the Pillar (Regime)

Log the current year and month pillar. You do not need to believe in it to benefit; you are recording the regime lens you used. Six months later, the archive will show whether regime-filtered trades outperformed your raw ones.

Step 3: Write the Counsel (Plan)

Every hexagram carries a counsel: act, wait, retreat, reinforce. Translate it into an executable plan — entry, stop, target, size. No plan, no position.

Step 4: Log the Vote (Multi-Agent)

Write your own 'agent votes': technical view, fundamental view, cycle view. If three of your four lenses disagree, that is a Hold — the same discipline our engine applies. Force yourself to record disagreement honestly.

Step 5: Review at the Term (Solar-Term Gate)

Review the thesis at the next solar term or monthly pillar change — a fixed, external review date beats 'when I feel like it'.

Step 6: Score the Call (Reflection)

One month later, mark the call: correct, wrong, or correct-but-lucky. Feed the score back into your weights — this is literally how our engine's reflection layer works, and it is how your intuition learns.
