Next-Session Preparation
Risk is elevated. Preserve capital, avoid adding momentum exposure, and review only quality-value candidates with predefined invalidation levels.
- Review the opening gap against the index trend before entering.
- Use only pre-defined entry, stop-loss, and position-size levels.
- Recheck overnight global cues and material company news before the open.
