    Step by step

    1. 1
      Scan your watchlist after the close
      Use the Simple Screener Pro or flip through your list. Daily signals only confirm at the close.
    2. 2
      Prefer stocks above the 200 EMA for BUYs
      It keeps you aligned with the long-term trend.
    3. 3
      Check upcoming earnings
      Earnings can gap a stock straight through your stop.
    4. 4
      Place orders for the next session
      Use the stop and targets on the label.

    Managing the trade

    • Daily trades can take days or weeks. Check once a day, not every hour.
    • Set price alerts at the targets so you don't need to watch.

    When to skip it

    • Earnings are within the next few days.
    • The stock is thinly traded.

    Common mistakes

    • Holding through earnings without meaning to.
    • Checking intraday and exiting on noise.
