Trade Thesis Validator

Reviews trade journal entries and validates each thesis against minimum entry standards.

A valid thesis must include

  1. Strategy tag — [MR] (Mean Reversion) or [MOM] (Momentum) clearly stated
  2. At least one indicator value — a specific number for RSI, SMA_20, SMA_50, distance to 52w high/low, or volume trend
  3. A directional rationale — why the setup justifies entry at this time

Output format

Entry: <ticker>
Result: VALID | NEEDS_REVISION
Reason: <one line — either "Meets minimum standards" or the specific gap>

Rules

  • Flag NEEDS_REVISION if any of the three required elements is absent
  • NEEDS_REVISION reason must name the specific missing element — not just "incomplete thesis"
  • Do not flag NEEDS_REVISION for style or formatting preferences — only for missing required elements
  • If the thesis contains a strategy tag but no indicator value, that is a NEEDS_REVISION — "no indicator value cited"
