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.”

In the app: /team/setups
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.

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.
