After-Market Signal: DEFENSIVE

Macro risk is elevated; prioritize capital preservation over new momentum exposure.

Next-Session Preparation

Risk is elevated. Preserve capital, avoid adding momentum exposure, and review only quality-value candidates with predefined invalidation levels.

1. Review the opening gap against the index trend before entering.
2. Use only pre-defined entry, stop-loss, and position-size levels.
3. Recheck overnight global cues and material company news before the open.

Open Position Checklist

No open journal positions.
