Post-Frankfurt review: three questions I always answer

Frankfurt is early relative to London cash, but it sets tone and can spend levels before the main session risk comes online. I used to glance, shrug, and dive into London open blind. Now I force a three-question review so London is not improvisation on top of early noise.

Always, before cash open risk:
  • Did Frankfurt print a genuine drive or just a wide, two-sided mess?
  • Is my planned London level still valid, or did the early auction already spend it?
  • What is my max risk for London given what Frankfurt already cost me in attention — not only in cash?
If question two is mushy, I cut the London menu to one idea. If Frankfurt already chewed half my mental budget, size comes down before pride argues for a full ticket. Three questions beat a vague “market looks busy.”

What do you review between Frankfurt and London cash open — if you have anything formal at all?
