AI as Devil's Advocate, and Your Weekly Workflow

Goal

Develop the habit of submitting every completed trade plan to an AI devil's advocate before execution, to catch logical errors, missing considerations, and hidden assumptions.

Mistake This Prevents

Being so convinced of a trade that you enter without questioning your own logic, only to realise post-loss that there were three obvious objections you never considered.

Core Concepts

The Devil's Advocate Prompt

I have completed the following trade plan. Your job is to stress-test it as a devil's advocate.
Do NOT be agreeable. Find every logical flaw, missing consideration, and hidden assumption.

Trade Plan:
Asset: [BTC]
Direction: [Long]
Setup: [EMA Pullback]
HTF Bias: [Bullish, HH/HL on weekly, above 20WMA]
Key Level: [Support at ₹55L, 4 touches]
Entry: [₹55.5L]
Stop: [₹52.8L, below support zone]
Target: [₹67L, prior HH]
R:R: [4.3:1]
On-Chain Score: [2/3 bullish]
Derivatives: [Funding +0.015%, OI rising with price]
Sentiment: [F&G 42, no hype]

Stress-test questions:
1. What could invalidate this bullish HTF bias in the next week?
2. Is the stop placement at risk of a wick sweep before the bounce?
3. Are there any macro events this week that could negate the setup?
4. Is the R:R calculation flawed? (Is the target at a real level?)
5. What signs would indicate this trade is failing early?
6. What is the worst-case scenario for this trade?

How to Use the Output For each critique AI raises:

• If valid: modify the trade plan (tighten stop, adjust target, reconsider entry)
• If invalid: document why you disagree
• If uncertain: check the primary source (macro calendar, chart analysis)

The Anti-Confirmation Bias Benefit When you are excited about a trade, you naturally seek confirming information. AI devil's advocate provides specific, structured counterarguments that your bias-filtered brain would skip over.

Limitations AI cannot:

• Check your actual chart in real time
• Access the live macro calendar
• Know the current derivatives data You must supply this information or verify the macro/events check yourself.

Checklist

• Complete trade plan written before running devil's advocate
• All six stress-test questions included in the prompt
• Each valid critique addressed in the plan
• Trade only proceeds if all critiques are resolved

Common Mistakes

• Running devil's advocate and ignoring all critiques ("I'm still taking the trade")
• Only providing partial trade plan information (AI cannot stress-test what it cannot see)
• Expecting AI to access live market data (you must provide it)
