The Trading Floor — Tab 3 of 9

Set-ups

Structured trade plans

Set-ups bridge research and execution. Each plan links to an active thesis, carries entry, stop, target, leverage, and portfolio context, and runs through guardrail validation before becoming a live team_trade on the blotter.

What it covers

Set-ups is part of the same Trading Floor sidebar — one desk context from pulse to planning to attribution, without switching tools.

  • Set-up library filtered by thesis and status
  • Three-step execute wizard: symbol → levels → preview
  • Playbook hooks and taxonomy alignment
  • Pre-trade guardrail evaluation
  • Comments and team discussion on each plan

Key capabilities

  • Block execution when guardrails would be breached
  • Preview liquidation distance before submitting
  • Bind set-ups to team portfolios and buying power
  • Promote approved ideas without losing thesis context

What your desk gets

  • Repeatable plan structure across traders
  • Risk checked at the moment of execution
  • Clean hand-off from research to live book
  • Audit trail from thesis → set-up → fill

Example workflow

Create HTF fade set-up under active thesis → run execute wizard → guardrails pass → live position appears on Team Pulse blotter.

How it fits the floor

Set-ups sits inside The Trading Floor — the same sidebar tab that holds Team Pulse, the thesis → set-up → execution pipeline, guardrails, allocations, and attribution. Retail journals bolt on a teams page; The Final Tape mirrors how prop desks actually operate.

Frequently asked questions

When are guardrails evaluated?

Primarily at set-up execute time. Violations can block the trade or log-only depending on team configuration.

Can I discuss a set-up before executing?

Yes. Comments on set-up cards support threaded discussion and @mentions like theses and executions.
