After Hours Macro
- Wait for the AST evening window (6–10:30 PM) — Asian and European cross-flow drives forex/metals here. Outside this window, spreads widen and trends fragment.
- Confirm with the daily timeframe. If the 4H setup fights the daily trend, skip. Macro trades that align with the daily chart have 2–3× the win rate.
- Use BUY/SELL LIMIT, not market. Forex spreads on Capital.com tighten 8–11 PM AST but slippage on market orders during news still hits 2–5 pips. Slippage-cap LIMIT is automatic on this scanner.
- Check the economic calendar. Fed minutes (2:00 PM ET = 3 PM AST), FOMC (2:00 PM ET), NFP (8:30 AM ET Friday) all spill into the evening. forexfactory.com before every trade.
- Metals maintenance window (5–6 PM NY). Gold and silver pricing goes unreliable. The scanner already flags this in the notes column.
- Major macro release within 90 minutes. Fed minutes, NFP, CPI, central bank decisions can move pairs 50–200 pips in seconds. Wait until after the release.
- Friday after 3 PM AST. Liquidity drops fast for the weekend close. Forex pairs gap through stops on Sunday open. Don't carry overnight into Monday unless your horizon is multi-week.
- Confidence < 70% on commodities. Gold and oil are noisier than majors. Stricter conviction threshold than forex.
- Forex pairs: stop 1.5× ATR + buffer. The scanner's swing-aware stop already accounts for this. Don't tighten manually.
- Gold/silver: wider stops, smaller size. Daily ATR on XAU/USD is $20–30. A 0.5R move = $50 P&L on 1 oz. Adjust position size to your $500 account.
- Half-size on CAUTION verdict. The Macro Action column shows ENTER/CAUTION/SKIP. CAUTION = take half the position you would for ENTER.
- Always attach SL + TP on the order ticket. No manual stops. Forex moves while you sleep — your broker-side stop is your safety net.
- Take partial at +1R. Forex grinds — locking in something at the first target frees you mentally.
- Trail to breakeven after partial. Now it's a free trade. Let it run to full target.
- Hard exit at 11:30 PM AST if the trade hasn't hit 1R. After Asian session winds down (1:00 AM AST = London open prep), volatility shifts. Your evening setup may not survive London's first hour.
- Never hold forex over weekend on a 4H or smaller horizon. Sunday gap = unbounded loss potential.

Pre-Market Movers
- Wait for confirmation, not the gap itself. A 5% pre-market gap can fade 80% in the first 15 minutes. Use BUY STOP above the pre-market high (or SELL STOP below the pre-market low for shorts). Never market-buy a gapper.
- Volume must be ≥ 1.5× average for the time of day. Pre-market volume below this = thin tape, fakeout risk, wide spreads. Skip.
- Catalyst must be real. Earnings beat, FDA news, M&A, analyst upgrade. "Up on no news" = pump and dump. Check Finnhub or the news section before placing the order.
- Hold off until 9:30 ET unless you have Pro pre-market access. Capital.com retail spreads on pre-market stocks are 3–5× wider than regular hours. The fill cost alone eats your edge.
- Earnings within next 24 hours. Stock can gap 20% on the report. Even a winning setup loses to gap risk.
- Spread > 0.5% in pre-market. Round-trip cost eats most of a 2:1 R:R. The scanner's net-R:R metric will warn you.
- Float < 20M shares. Small floats = whipsaw factories. Fine for experienced scalpers, dangerous for swing entries.
- Big-cap gapping < 1%. AAPL "up 0.7% pre-market on volume" isn't a setup — it's noise. Filter for ≥ 3% on liquid names, ≥ 5% on small/mid-caps.
- Stop below the pre-market low (longs) or above the pre-market high (shorts). The scanner's swing-aware stop already does this for you.
- Half-size at minimum. Pre-market trades are higher variance than regular swings. Treat them like WATCH setups: 0.5% account risk, not 1%.
- Always attach SL + TP on the order ticket. Pre-market stocks can gap during regular hours too — a manual stop loss you "plan to set" is no stop loss.
- Use LIMIT orders only. Market orders in pre-market fill 2–4% off displayed price on Capital.com. Use a limit at your trigger price; if it doesn't fill, you didn't want it that bad.
- Take partial at +1R within the first 30 minutes if the move is fast. Pre-market gaps fade more often than they extend. Lock in something.
- Trail stop to breakeven after +1R on the remaining position. Now it's a free trade. Let it run to target or stop out for zero loss.
- Hard exit by 11:00 AM ET on intraday horizons. The "lunch lull" 11:00–14:00 ET kills momentum. If your target hasn't hit by then, exit at market and move on.
- Never hold a pre-market trade overnight unless your scanner says it's a Daily-horizon swing AND the catalyst is durable (earnings, M&A — not "up on rumor").

Pullback
How To Read It
Wait Retest: direction is fine, but the better fill is on a dip / bounce into support or resistance.
Reclaim Entry: let price pull back, then re-take the level before committing.
Too Late / Broken: either the easy move already happened, or the invalidation is getting too close to justify a fresh entry.

Quick Setup
The three numbers that drive everything. Set these once and the scanner sizes correctly for your account. Everything else is dialled in to safe defaults below — only touch Advanced if you know exactly what you're changing.
Advanced — risk, stops, targets DEFAULTS ARE FINE
Daily-Loss Circuit Breaker
When the day's cumulative R drops to your threshold, the journal refuses to log new open / pending trades for the rest of the AST day. Stops revenge trading after a bad session. Resets at AST midnight.
Advanced — leverage / margin SET TO BROKER MAX
Already set to Capital.com's regulatory max for retail accounts. Affects margin calculations only — your P&L is the same regardless. Lower these if you want extra margin headroom.
