## **1. Pre-Market Preparation**
### **Step-by-Step Pre-Market Routine**

- **Gap Scanners**: Use scanners to track stocks gapping up/down by 3%+.
- **Check Overnight News**: Earnings reports, analyst upgrades/downgrades, sector catalysts.
- **Review Futures & Market Trends**: Analyze S&P 500, NASDAQ, and Dow futures to gauge market sentiment.
- **Key Indicator Analysis**:

- **RSI (Relative Strength Index)**: Spot overbought/oversold conditions.
- **Volume Profiles**: Check for significant accumulation/distribution levels.
- **Moving Averages (9 EMA, 20 SMA, 50 SMA)**: Identify short- and long-term trends.

## **2. Opening Bell Strategy**
### **Capitalizing on Early Volatility**
- **Gap-and-Go Strategy**: Enter trades on high-volume breakouts from pre-market resistance.
- **Fade-the-Gap Strategy**: Short overextended gappers that fail at resistance.
- **Momentum Scalping**: Quick in-and-out trades based on strong volume surges.

### **Criteria for Selecting High-Conviction Trades**

### **Psychological Discipline**

## **6. Case Studies & Common Pitfalls**
### **Winning Trade Examples**

- Entry: $50, Stop Loss: $49, Take Profit: $52 (2:1 R:R)
- Volume confirms breakout; exit with full profit.

- **Gap-and-Go Long Trade**:
- Entry: Pre-market high breakout at $30.
- Exit: Scaled out at $32 & $34.
