Risk management
Define what would make a paper idea wrong before testing it.
What to notice
A useful simulation records an entry, invalidation reference, timeframe and reason for taking or skipping the setup.

Common mistake
Changing a paper exit rule after seeing the result and treating the revised result as original.
Try it on a chart
Write the invalidation and no-trade conditions before revealing future candles.
