The #1 Way to Start Your Trading Day with Confidence
Having a solid daily routine before the market opens is crucial for traders to ensure they are aware, well-prepared, and focused.
It allows for thorough market research and technical analysis, helping to identify potential opportunities and risks.
This preparation forms the basis for a clear trading plan, reducing impulsive decisions driven by market volatility.
Mental readiness, achieved through practices like meditation and non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) enhance decision-making and emotional control.
Additionally, verifying the functionality of trading tools and platforms prevents technical disruptions, enabling seamless trade execution and real-time market monitoring.
Overall, a disciplined premarket process sets the tone for a productive and profitable trading day.
Steps To Prepare During Premarket Hours
Market News Review
Begin your day by scanning the latest financial news and updates from reliable sources.
Pay attention to key macroeconomic indicators, corporate news, earnings reports, and geopolitical events that could impact the market.
I like Barron’s, Moringstar, CNBC, and Yahoo Finance.
Economic Calendar Review
Also, check the economic calendar for important events such as employment figures, economic data releases like GDP, and Federal Reserve announcements.
Be aware when FOMC meetings happen.
Knowing what’s on the agenda helps you anticipate market movements and prepare accordingly, especially if you’re day trading.
Global Market Review
Analyze overnight trading activity in major international markets such as Asia and Europe.
Understanding global market movements can provide insights into potential trends and sentiment shifts that may influence the U.S. market.
Technical Analysis Preparation
Chart analysis
Conduct a thorough technical analysis of key stocks, indices, and sectors.
Where is price? Above its 20-day SMA or below?
Identify support and resistance levels, trend lines, and technical indicators such as the moving averages, MACD histogram, the true strength index (TSI), and the relative strength index (RSI).
This analysis helps in pinpointing potential entry and exit points.
Also, review your stocks on different timeframes.
The Money Flow Trading System uses the daily chart for stop zones, entries and exits. The weekly chart can also be used as confirmation for trend direction and the 1 hour chart can be used for precise entry into swing trades.
Pre-Market Movers
Focus on stocks that are showing significant pre-market activity or have upcoming catalysts, such as earnings reports or major news announcements.
These stocks often continue to exhibit volatility and provide trading opportunities once the market opens.
Watchlist
Maintain and update a daily watchlist of stocks you intend to trade.
Make this list while doing your Sunday homework.
Include stocks with upcoming earnings reports, significant news, or notable technical setups.
Which stocks are in a stage 1 that you can add to and which stocks are in a stage 3 you could trim and roll profits forward into another new setup?
This ensures you’re focused and ready to act when the market opens.
Trading plan
Develop a detailed trading plan outlining your entry and exit strategies, position sizes, and risk management rules. Mark-up your charts!!
A well-structured plan helps reduce emotional trading and impulsive decisions.
Follow The Money Flow Rules.
Set Goals & Document Daily
Define your trading goals for the day.
Whether it’s achieving a specific profit target or managing risk, having clear objectives will guide your trading decisions.
Risk Management
Your number one job as a trader is a risk manager.
Successful trading is not just about making profitable trades, but also about managing losses.
A consistent approach enforces strict risk management rules, preventing significant capital erosion from a single bad trade.
By adhering to predefined risk limits and stop-loss orders, traders can protect their capital and ensure longevity in the market.
Continuous Improvement & Learning and Development
Dedicate time to continuous learning and improvement.
Make sure you own my books You Don’t Have to Die Broke and The Money Flow Trading System.
Read books, attend webinars, and participate in trading communities like the MFG Discord to stay updated on new strategies and market insights.
Engage with a community of traders to share experiences, strategies, and insights.
Networking can provide support, motivation, accountability, and valuable learning opportunities.
Learning and reading is a lifelong process that requires a daily commitment.
Staying up to date on the latest trends and new technologies can help boost your success in the stock market.
Premarket Keys to Success The Money Flow Way
Charts- Stock Charts
Research- The Peters Report, Morningstar, Barron’s, MFG Discord
Day to Day News flow- Yahoo Finance, Barron’s, Fox Business, Bloomberg, and FinBiz. You must be aware and know what is going on in the financial news to be in flow with the markets. You must observe Fed rates and interest rates to see the bigger picture. You don’t need to take any action. You just need to read and be aware.
The Wind- Always check the major indexes and sectors before making any moves in the stock market. This is a top-down approach to technical analysis.
No one knows where the stock market is going; not a human on Earth knows. Understand the value of your charts and be able to recognize social sentiment. We don’t chase stocks in the Money Flow.
