I’ve been using Stock Analysis as a super affordable but reliable method of looking at New and Upcoming IPOs, Earnings Calendars and most notably KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). Stock Analysis allows you to view the KPIs for many companies with up to date metrics and segments that you can cross reference against Earnings Results. This is incredibly important when understanding what metrics move a stock.
Situational Awareness
Market Condition: Short term extended, Bullish market higher time frame
Commentary: I don’t see anything super exciting this morning. I’m going to look at managing existing positions and not rush into this week. It’s a game of probabilities. The market is skewing the probabilities against us with new longs here so the catalysts need to be super strong for me to put more chips in at this moment. There are a few stocks moving this morning but the catalysts are weak and/or rehashed news.
Will do some study today and manage existing positions. PLTR earnings after hours will kick off the week.

Note: This is my methodology for identifying stocks in play. There are many valid approaches to trading catalysts—find the setups, timeframes, and risk parameters that align with your strategy.
