Morning · Midday · Evening, every trading day

Three briefs a day.
Five markets. Three sectors.

SPY, QQQ, IWM, GLD and TLT, plus Technology, Health Care and Energy. Nothing else. Every brief ends with questions specific enough to be wrong, like Is GLD above $405.04 at the Midday brief? You will know by the next brief whether it held.

  2. 2. Is XLE above $90.80 at the Midday brief?

The Midday brief opens by answering both.

Educational only. Not financial advice. Figures shown are invented for illustration.

Three briefs, one loop

Each brief asks. The next brief answers, whichever way it went.

Morning Free plan

Where the day starts

Overnight moves across the five core markets and the three focus sectors, and the questions that will be settled by lunch.

Midday Pro

The first answer

The morning questions get a yes or a no against the tape, and a fresh set goes on the board for the close.

Evening Pro

The close, settled

The midday questions are answered, the day is put to bed, and the overnight levels are set for tomorrow's open.

Narrow on purpose

Five core markets and three sectors. Nothing else. A small board is what lets a brief name an actual number, instead of hedging across forty tickers nobody is watching.
