CKZ Q&A Series- What is your Morning Routine?

Pre-Market Preparation:

Review Overnight News and Earnings Reports:** I start by checking for any significant news, earnings reports, or events that might impact the market or specific stocks. This includes macroeconomic reports, company announcements, and sector-specific news.
- **Check Futures Markets:** I look at the S&P 500 futures (often the /ES or E-mini) to gauge the overall market sentiment heading into the day.

2. Tools and Platforms:

TradingView:** I use TradingView for charting and technical analysis. This platform allows me to apply various indicators, analyze multiple timeframes, and set alerts for key levels.
- **VX Algo Indicators:** I rely heavily on my proprietary VX Algo Signals, which include the VX Volume Algo, VX Bands, VX Super Mac D, and VX Moving Averages to identify potential buy and sell signals.

News Aggregators and Twitter: I monitor news aggregators and Twitter feeds for any last-minute developments that could influence the market.

Algorithmic Buy Signals:

VX Algo Signals: I look for buy signals generated by my VX Algo on the 48m timeframe, focusing on signals that align with other indicators and market conditions. I track the performance of these signals during the day and night, as this helps refine my strategy over time.
