Delivery trading practice is not intraday with longer holds. Different cadence, different urges, different logging.
Holding rules change decision cadence. Do not smuggle intraday habits into delivery sim.
Cadence comparison
| Element | Intraday practice | Delivery practice |
|---|---|---|
| Session length | Single day focus | Multi-day if supported |
| Exit pressure | Square-off time | Plan-based holds |
| Urge profile | FOMO, revenge fast | Anchoring, denial slow |
| Review frequency | Daily | Position + weekly |
| Cost awareness | Turnover heavy | Holding + opportunity cost |
Delivery practice protocol
Written plan:
- Entry criteria (same A/B grade idea)
- Max open positions sim
- Hold invalidation rules
- Weekly review slot—not tick-watching all day
Logging:
- Entry decision score
- Add/pyramid rules if any (often none early)
- Exit decision score
- Urge tags:
anchor,hope,fomo_extend
Failure modes
- Intraday overtrade in delivery account
- No exit rules
- Fundamental story mid-trade
- Illiquid delivery names
- Mixing sim hold with live margin confusion
NSE / India notes
T+1 settlement and product rules evolve—verify on official sources. Delivery practice still benefits from hidden-date entries even if hold spans days in tool.

Fri: weekly delivery review—exit decisions scored, story drift checked.
Separate notebook color from intraday to prevent rule bleed.
Delivery practice closing
Delivery is slower cadence, different urges, separate rules sheet. Do not import scalping habits silently. Weekly position reviews scored like entries. Tool limits acknowledged honestly in journal.
Extended hold review questions
Weekly for each open sim position:
Entry still valid per written rules?
Story drift?
Exit rule triggered but ignored?
Process score for hold decisions?
Delivery practice dies in silent holds without reviews.
Story drift tag
If hold thesis references news headline not in entry plan, tag story_drift on review. Delivery practice dies when narrative replaces rules mid-hold.
Overnight hold rule card
If tool supports multi-day, card lists max hold days, invalidation events, review times. Card taped near screen. Intraday sticky notes removed during delivery month to avoid rule bleed.
Delivery patience measured in days; intraday patience in minutes—do not mix ledgers silently.
Friday delivery review alarm
Calendar alarm Friday 18:00 DELIVERY REVIEW with checklist link in description. Alarm treats delivery holds like recurring meeting—because they are recurring decisions.
Delivery month entry freeze option
Optional rule: max one new delivery entry per week forces hold review quality over entry excitement. Freeze annoying but diagnostic for narrative drift.
Delivery review alarm includes question: would I enter this today fresh? No → exit decision review begins regardless of unrealized sim color.
Weekly review non-optional.
Hold card on monitor edge
Index card: MAX HOLD __ days | REVIEW __ weekday | STORY DRIFT = exit review. Card visible beats hold rules buried in Notion page you never open during slow delivery drift.
Monitor-edge hold card beats buried Notion rules during slow narrative drift weeks.
Delivery cadence differs from intraday; separate rules sheet mandatory.
Delivery month disables intraday sticky notes on monitor—visual cue reduces rule bleed when switching products between months.
