The one setup I take every single morning

It's not sexy. It works. Here's the exact playbook.

People ask me all the time what my "edge" is. There is no edge. There's a checklist.

The checklist

  1. Overnight range is under 0.8%.
  2. The first 15-minute bar closes green.
  3. VWAP is rising.
  4. There's a headline catalyst by 9:45 AM.

All four? I'm in. Three of four? I pass. It is boring. It is repeatable. It is the only way I've ever known this game to work.

Discipline is the trade. Everything else is entertainment.
