Chapter 01

Add instruments because they answer today's question

Trader question

Why does this row belong on today's desk?

A Focused Board should not be a smaller copy of the full Market Grid. Each added row needs a reason tag that connects it to the day's market question.

Desk checklist

Write today's board question.
Attach a reason before adding a row.
Reject rows that do not answer the question.

Interactive proof

Focused Board, add-instrument command dialog, candidate rows, and reason tags

Choose a reason tag before adding each candidate instrument to the five-row board.

1Reason to addEvery row answers today's questionA Focused Board earns its name only when each instrument has a visible reason for being on today's desk.

2Desk orderSpot and macro before local contractsA calm order reduces re-reading: reference and drivers first, active local contract second, context rows third.

3Five-row limitSmall enough to reviewThe board should stay small enough that the learner can read status, source, and next tool for every row.

4Next toolOne handoff per watched rowEach row should point to a next evidence check such as Fair Value, Pivots, Calendar, COT, Correlation, Seasonal, or Backtest.

5Revision ruleRemove rows when the question changesSync preserves the routine, not conviction. Rows should be deleted or revised when they no longer answer the desk question.

A Focused Board is useful when it stays small, ordered, and routed. Each watched row should have a reason to be present and one next evidence check.

A reason tag unlocks the add

An instrument cannot enter the Focused Board until the learner attaches the reason it answers today's question.

Storyboard beats4 cues

An Add button is locked on a candidate row.

A reason tag appears: macro driver, local read, or roll context.

The row enters the board.

Rows without reasons remain outside.
