Step 1: The 3-Filter Screening Process

Filter 1: Volume Spike (The Fuel)

Filter 2: Key Level Alignment

Filter 3: Pattern Recognition

  • Focus on just 2 patterns from Day 3:

    • Bull flags → continuation

    • Hammers → reversals


Step 2: My Daily 10-Minute Routine

7:50-8:00 AM EST:

  1. Run pre-market gap scanner

  2. Check for news catalysts (my news filter guide)

  3. Set 3 price alerts (tutorial)

📌 Action Task:


Step 3: Avoiding Scanner Overload

The "3-Trade Limit" Rule

  • Never take more than 3 trades/day from scans

  • Review why this doubled my win rate: case study


Homework for Day 11

  1. Test the scanner with paper trades

  2. Watch: My Live Scanning Session

  3. Tomorrow: "The Art of Doing Nothing – When NOT to Trade"

"Slow scanners win races. The best traders miss more trades than they take."
