The process behind RR Space
00:01I work through almost the entire New York session, and the process starts before I open the chart. I establish the macro context, form a possible direction, then ask price whether the technical setup actually supports it. Only then does a trade reach the RR Space checker.
Macro context. Technical alignment. RR Space validation. Then execution.

Why it exists
My morning starts with macro. I look at the current context — rates, central banks, economic data, geopolitics — and what it may imply for the dollar, Gold, and EUR/USD. The goal is not to predict every move. It is to establish a credible direction before price starts asking for decisions.
Once the bias is clear, I open the charts and test it against price. I look for the technical conditions my plan requires. If the chart does not support the context, there is no trade. A macro idea is not permission to force an entry.
When macro and technicals align, the trade still has to pass the RR Space checker. The setup, risk, rules, and execution conditions are validated before I enter. If it passes, I take the trade. If it fails, I move on.
It turns my process into a sequence: context first, technical confirmation second, validation third. The point is not to create more trades. It is to stop a good market story from becoming a bad decision.
You can follow the reasoning before the trade, the execution when it qualifies, and the review after it closes. Wins and losses matter, but whether the trade respected the process matters more.
