A 45-second check-in before the first chart loads. Captures sleep, stress, energy and motive, then locks today's maximum number of trades and your walk-away loss limit in advance.
Why pre-session. The structural failure mode the methodology names is trading from a state that wasn't trading-ready. By the time a setup appears on the chart, the trader's autonomy has narrowed to "take it or don't." The Baseline runs before that window opens, while the prefrontal cortex is still in charge, and locks the structural constraints (maximum number of trades, and your loss limit for the day) into commitments your future-self has to override deliberately rather than absently.
This tool is a pre-session discipline check. It does not constitute financial advice. EXIT CODE does not predict market direction, recommend trades, or guarantee outcomes. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. You are responsible for your trading decisions.
