Trading Playbook
A trading playbook is a documented collection of a trader's specific setups and strategies. Each playbook entry defines the exact criteria for a type of trade — entry conditions, stop placement, target levels, and ideal market conditions.
Why it matters for traders
A playbook forces traders to codify their edge in writing, which reduces impulsive off-plan trading. It also enables performance tracking by setup — so traders can see which setups are profitable and which are not.
How Tradapt tracks this
Tradapt's Playbook builder lets you create entries for each of your setups, tag every trade to its playbook entry, and see performance broken down by setup. This is where traders find their real edge — by discovering which 2-3 setups make all their money.

What is a trading playbook?
A trading playbook is a documented collection of your trading setups with defined criteria for each. Think of it as a manual that tells you exactly what conditions must be present for you to take a specific type of trade.
How do I build a trading playbook?
Review your best-performing past trades and identify the common conditions. Document: the market structure required, the entry trigger, where you place the stop, and where you target. Tradapt's Playbook builder gives you a structured template for each setup.
