My whole pre-market takes 15 minutes. 9:10 to 9:25.

By the time New York opens I already know what kind of day it is.

Here’s the exact checklist. Steal it. 🧵👇

Step 1: Check the news

CPI, FOMC, NFP = red folder.

On those days I only take A+ setups, full size. Anything less than A+ gets sized down or skipped.

This week: CPI Wednesday, PPI Thursday. Know it before you open a chart.

                            3
                        
Step 2: Mark the Asia range 

8 PM to midnight Eastern. High & low.

Asia builds the map. Everything after it plays off this range.

                            4
                        
Step 3: Mark London 

2 AM to 5 AM Eastern. High & low.

Then ask one question: did London take a side of Asia?

                            5
                        
Step 4: Name the day 

Every day runs 1 of 3 profiles:

London sweeps one side of Asia & reverses → NY usually continues that move
London stays inside Asia → NY takes a side first, then delivers the opposite
No clear draw, both sides keep getting taken → I trade less or not at all

                            6
                        
Step 5: Mark only these levels 

Previous day high/low
Asia high/low
London high/low
Equal highs/lows
NWOG
1H/4H FVGs

If it’s not on this list, it’s not on my chart.

                            7
                        
Step 6: Write the plan before 9:30 

Three lines in my journal:
“Bias is __ because __”
“I’m entering when __”
“I’m wrong if __”

If I can’t finish all three, I don’t trade today.

                            8
                        
Then at 9:30 I wait.

Don’t trade the level. Trade what price does after it hits the level.

Trade 1 wins, I’m done for the day.
Trade 1 loses, I get one more at half size. Then I’m done.

Charts closed by 11:30-12.

                            9
                        
I’m not trying to predict anything.

I just want to know what I’m waiting for before 9:30, so I’m not making decisions with money on the line.

Profits are a byproduct of how well you stick to the plan.

I run this exact checklist every morning & post my forecast in my free Discord before the open.
