Inside the issue. One issue, opened up.
Every trading day the desk writes one issue that reads the whole board and sets up the next session. Here is a real one, the issue written after the October 28 Fed decision, opened up section by section.
The Fed held. Then the megacaps voted.
Nine sections, the same order every day.
The scorecard
What the last plan actually did, level by level, before anything new is said.
The Desk Board
The close across indices, chips, the VIX, crude and the ten year, with what changed since the day before.
The event
On a Fed day, the statement line by line, the votes, the press conference, and how the tape traded each part.
ES, NQ and YM
A chart for each, bar by bar off the 5 and 15 minute, with the levels that matter for the next session.
Rates
The curve and the yields that would change the read.
Leaders, gold and silver
The names leading the tape and the metals on the 4 hour.
The other crosschecks
The dollar, oil and fear gauges, in one paragraph.
Earnings
The after hours movers and what they mean for the open.
The question for tomorrow
One question the next session has to answer.
Every claim on a chart.
Read it for what it is.
- It does not tell you where the market goes next. Levels are decision zones, not predictions.
- It is not advice for your account. Size any idea from your own risk.
- The trade plans sit below the paywall, for members.
