# File a no-trade (null) ticket

A session with no order still needs a ticket, filed next to the missed-trade log. A blank page is not a record.

## What the agent does

Writes a null ticket with a fixed reason code when the desk does nothing. The missed-trade log is the later review, not this ticket.

## Prompt

File a no-trade ticket for this session. Paper lane. Do not draft an order.
Date: [date]
Instrument: [e.g. BTC]
Session: [session name]
Map state: [trend, correction, neutral, or blank]
Reason, one code: [NO-SETUP, OUTSIDE-MAP, RULE-BLOCK, EVENT-RISK, ALREADY-IN, or OTHER]
What I saw, in one sentence: [paste]
Order drafted: no
Review date for the missed-trade log: [date, or blank]
Leave any field I left blank. Do not add a trade. Do not give buy/sell/hold advice or price targets; label facts vs. inferences and cite sources.

## Limitations

A null ticket records that no order was drafted. It is not a claim that standing aside was the right call. Review the pass later, on the missed-trade log.
