Strategy overview

An "A+ trade checklist" is a fixed list of conditions a setup must satisfy before a trader is allowed to click the button — a discipline layer rather than a signal source. This entry decodes a short clip from Casper SMC that introduces one implementation of that idea: the Trading Checklist by Sonar Lab, a TradingView tool that keeps those conditions visible on the chart instead of on a notepad beside it.

The framing matters more than the tool. Casper SMC works in the ICT/SMC vocabulary, and the video's hashtags — funded trader, ICT concepts — point at the audience this kind of aid is built for: traders under prop-firm rules, where a single impulsive entry outside the plan costs more than a missed setup. A checklist overlay does not tell you where price is going; it makes the absence of your own conditions impossible to ignore at the moment you are most tempted to overlook them. That is a different job from an indicator, and it is worth being clear about which one you are buying into.

This is a short-form video: it names the tool and shows what it does on the chart, without walking through the specific confluences a trader should load into it. So treat this page as a pointer to the concept and the tool category rather than to a complete methodology — the checklist items themselves still have to come from your own tested edge, and the source clip is an introduction to the aid, not a rule set to copy.

Frequently asked questions

What is an A+ trade checklist?

It is a predefined list of conditions — structure, entry model, session timing, risk parameters — that must all be present before a trader takes a setup. Its purpose is consistency: it converts a discretionary read into a repeatable gate, so trades taken outside the plan become visible instead of rationalized.

Does the Trading Checklist by Sonar Lab give buy and sell signals?

As presented in the source video, it is a visual checklist displayed on the chart rather than a signal-generating indicator with numeric inputs. It surfaces whether your own conditions are met; the directional judgment stays with the trader.

Why do funded and prop-firm traders use checklists?

Because prop accounts penalize rule breaks harder than missed opportunities. Daily loss limits and drawdown thresholds mean a handful of off-plan trades can end an account, so a visible pre-trade gate is a risk control as much as a workflow tool — which is the audience Casper SMC's clip speaks to.

What does this short video actually cover?

It is a brief introduction: the clip names the tool and shows its function on the chart, without detailing which confluences to include. Strategy Decoder catalogs entries like this one so you can see what a source covers before spending time on it, and where the concept fits alongside fuller ICT and SMC breakdowns.
