Writing a bias you can invalidate
Bias alignment starts with wording precise enough to be wrong — not poetic enough to survive any candle.
A bias that cannot be proven wrong is not a bias. It is a preference.
Weak wording
“I am bullish while the market stays constructive” survives every outcome. Soft language feels professional and teaches nothing.
Stronger wording
“Daily bias long while price holds above Tuesday’s low and the weekly still prints higher lows. Invalidated on a daily close back inside last week’s range.”
Now the Bias Alignment Call has something to pressure-test. We can ask whether Tuesday’s low still matters on the higher frame, and whether “daily close” is the right clock for how you trade.
Practice
Rewrite last week’s journal entries with invalidation attached. If you cannot, the entries were diary, not decision records — and that is useful to know before the next session.
