Self-Scoring Checklist

The 6-Step Crypto Decision Card

Score your last crypto buy in two minutes and find the rule that is missing from your process.

Pull up the last crypto position you bought. Take the most recent one, not the one you’re proudest of. Score that decision with the table below, count your yes answers, then build your own card with the template at the bottom. The whole thing takes about two minutes.

Step 1: Score your last buy

#	Question	A “yes” means
1	Did you make an actual decision?	You can state it in one sentence: what you did, how much, and why then. A deliberate “no change” counts. Drifting in over three FOMO buys doesn’t.
2	Did you write your evidence down before acting?	The evidence you acted on was on paper before the buy. A memory doesn’t count, because it changes every time the price does.
3	Did a rule connect evidence to action?	You can fill in “if X happens, then I do Y.” If you can’t name X and Y, your mood decided.
4	Did you define what proves you wrong before entry?	A price level or a broken condition that you fixed before you bought, not one you negotiate with yourself at minus 40%.
5	Did you know your next action for every scenario?	Up, down, sideways: a concrete action for each. “See how it feels” is a mood, not an action.
6	Did you review the decision afterward?	You graded it against your plan, not against the price. Good decisions can lose money and bad ones can make money.

Step 2: Read your score

0–2 yes: You are gambling, and whatever results you have came from luck.
3–4 yes: You have opinions, not a system. Some pieces exist, but the gaps decide your worst days.
5–6 yes: You have a real process. The open question is whether it holds up under pressure.

Your weakest answer is where your portfolio is exposed. If question 4 was a no, start there: the invalidation rule decides what the next drawdown does to your portfolio.

Step 3: Build your own Decision Card

Copy this table into your notes app and fill it out before your next buy, sell, or deliberate hold. One card per decision. The example column shows the level of detail that works; it is an illustration, not a recommendation.

Field	What you write	Example
Decision	What you do, how much, and when.	Buy a 5% position in [coin] today.
Evidence	The specific, checkable facts you’re acting on.	Price reclaimed the 200-day average on rising volume.
Rule	The “if X, then Y” that turns your evidence into this action.	If price holds above the 200-day for 3 days, I enter.
Invalidation	What proves you wrong. Fixed now, not later.	A weekly close back below the 200-day average means I exit, no debate.
Next action	What you do if it goes up, down, or nowhere.	Up: hold, review monthly. Down: exit at invalidation. Sideways: reassess in 4 weeks.
Review	When you grade this card against the plan.	Calendar entry, 30 days out.

That is the whole card. Writing it after you buy is easy and useless. The work is filling it out before you act, every single time.
