How To Be Fully Prepared For Monday Trading

What do you like to do on Sundays?

Me? I spend time with my family, work on projects around the house, get outdoors as much as I can to hunt and fish…and then there’s one thing I do every Sunday without fail…

I get myself and you revved up for the trading week ahead. 

And how do I do that?

I write up my 5-Stock Weekly Watchlist and shoot it to your inbox Sunday afternoon.

This is a totally free watchlist that I send so that if you’re a trader or thinking about becoming one, you have something to start your week with.

Each issue includes a list of the five stocks I’m watching that week and a video explaining my rationale for choosing each one.

If you haven’t seen it or read it yet, here’s an excerpt from October 27th’s issue:

October 27th Weekly Watchlist Excerpt

I’m showing you this specific issue because we were in the midst of an exciting time in the markets (and still are)…

We were nearing an election like none we’ve had in recent history, earnings season was getting hot and heavy, and I had some stock plays I just knew would take off.

And I was right!

Let’s go through some of the stocks on my October 27th Weekly Watchlist:

Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ: DJT)

DJT was 100% an election play.

The stock had already been trending upward over the prior weeks, with lots of red-to-green candle patterns almost every day. 

And I saw it running even further, especially as we were just days away from November 5th.

So here’s what DJT has looked like since the 27th:

DJT 10-Day, 5-Minute Candles Chart; SteadyTrade

It spiked not once but twice. Naturally, the second one, which was a gain of around 25%*, came in premarket trading on November 6th.

Phunware Inc. (NASDAQ: PHUN)

I chose PHUN as a social media DJT sympathy play.

It took a little while after my list came out, but the stock had a nice spike in premarket on election day.

PHUN 10-Day, 5-Minute Candles Chart; SteadyTrade

Looks pretty similar to DJT’s election day spike, right?

By the way, that spike was around a 20%* move.

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE: PLTR)

I had been watching PLTR, an AI play, for a while…

It appeared on our IRIS swing trade tool as a number-one pick a little while back.

Here’s what the stock has done since my watchlist came out:

PLTR 10-Day, 5-Minute Candles Chart; SteadyTrade

I anticipated PLTR going into the 50s, and it sure did! Just yesterday, it hit a high of $56.47 per share.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA)

I’m a long-term TSLA bull and recent earnings were great…

But after Elon got behind Trump, I knew this had to go on my current watchlist. 

I figured if Trump wins, TSLA wins too. The stock would get some sort of bump from a Trump victory… That’s just logic.

And I was right.

TSLA 10-Day, 5-Minute Candles Chart; SteadyTrade

TSLA has spiked twice in the last week — one major one on election day itself and another less dramatic one yesterday. 

I think TSLA stock is going to have a great year.

Healthcare Triangle Inc. (NASDAQ: HCTI)

I chose HCTI as a speculative day trade idea since it had previously spiked over 100% in a recent after hours session.


I used our Oracle resistance level of $1.08 per share for my entry price suggestion.

HCTI 5-Day, 5-Minute Candles Chart; SteadyTrade

I called it just in time… 

When the opening bell rang on Monday, HCTI hit my entry point and soared to $1.90 within less than half an hour for a return of 76%*.

My Final Thoughts…

So that’s what happened with my watchlist plays from October 27th.

Remember, this watchlist was totally free and just my way of introducing you to my work as a trading mentor.

You can use it to get your feet wet if you’re new to trading…

Or if you’re already a regular trader, use it if you’re just not sure what to buy at the moment.  

I put a lot of thought into my watchlists and I love seeing my picks be as successful as the ones above. They often are.
