More breakout videos from this creator.
Every morning 30 minutes before the market opens, I do the same five step routine. So if you've ever just stared at your screen pre market, not knowing where to start, make sure to save this video. Here's the breakdown step by step. So the first thing that I do is I check the overall market. Because even the most perfect setup, we'll most likely still lose if the entire market is red. So on TradingView I pull up three tickers, E, S, and Y M. That is the S P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow futures. So checking if they're green or red, do they agree? So if Nasdaq is red but the others are green, you know tech might be weak today and I will avoid those names. And then on the same screen I will check one other ticker which is VIX. It's like the fear gauge. It is under 15, that's pretty calm. If it is over 20, there is definitely fear in the market. So that's when I'll know to maybe cut my size and tighten up. And next I will go to investing.com and look at the economic calendar. I filter to the U.S. and high impact only. And I'm looking for things like a jobs report, inflation report, CPI coming out and what time. If there is a high impact number dropping, I will not trade around that time. Market can basically flip in like a minute. Then for news I will usually check CNBC's markets page on the biggest movers pre markets list. I will name specific stocks moving and why. Kinda just sorting everything into two separate buckets. First is is there a story that everyone's leading with? So the Fed or something big that could set the tone for the whole market? And then two is if anything on my watch list is mentioned. So do any of my names you know have earnings? Get an analyst upgrade? Anything like that? Also when I get into my screener process, I will also look at big names that are popping up super high pre market volume and just see what's going on there. So is there a real catalyst? Could this be a play? Is it gapping up on no news? Once I have a clear picture of fundamentals, then I will take my watch list and usually try to narrow it down to two to three names and then checking technicals for real setups. And then from there I can say well if price goes here, here is my entry, stop and exit. So sometimes I'll just keep my eyes on the charts. Other times I will set price alerts for each. If I get the alert, that's when I can go in and confirm that the setup is clean and take the trade if I decide to do so. Today is a pretty good example of why you don't wanna just wake up, see that you know the general market is green and buy in without any real plan as the market did close high. Which is great, but there was a huge sell off right at open. And those are the kind of moves that you can know to watch out for when you really thoroughly do this process. So I actually put this all together into a one pager for you guys. If you comment pre market down below, I will send it to you for free. And I will be providing all of this info in my discord community, which I am going to launch soon. Wait list is now open and getting big pretty quick, so make sure to sign up with the link in my bio so that you don't miss launch day!
