After Hours Macro
Weekday macro basket for gold, silver, oil, and major forex pairs. Stricter than the daytime scanner: only promote clean after-hours setups with stronger confirmation.
Best evening window: 6:00-10:30 PM AST for forex and metals reaction trades. Avoid: the daily metals maintenance break around 5:00-6:00 PM New York time and any setup with thin momentum or obvious chop.
AFTER HOURS TRADING RULES
Read these before placing any forex or commodity trade in your AST evening session.
✓ When to enter
- 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.
⛔ When to skip
- 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.
⚠ Stop & sizing
- 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.
✓ When to exit
- 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.
Bottom line: After-hours forex/metals trades favor patience over action. One clean ENTER setup per evening is enough. Skip 5 mediocre signals to take 1 high-conviction trade — the strict gates on this scanner exist for that reason.
EVENING QUICK-PLAY TEMPLATE
Use the smaller basket first when London/Asia crosses wake up around 6 PM AST. It is faster, cleaner, and better for stalking a real trigger instead of forcing a trade from the full board.

Pre-Market Movers
Stocks gapping in pre-market (4:00–9:30 AM ET) with volume confirmation. Best edge for day-trading the open. Requires Twelve Data Pro real-time pre-market access.
Best window: Build your list 8:00–9:24 AM ET. Place the BUY/SELL STOP between 9:25–9:30 AM ET — never earlier. The PM high keeps extending until just before the bell on European flow; placing too early uses a stale level and gives you a worse entry + wider stop. Earlier than 7:00 AM ET is thin tape — list-building only, no orders.
PRE-MARKET TRADING RULES
Read these before placing any pre-market or opening-range order.
✓ When to enter
- 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.
⛔ When to skip
- 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 & sizing
- 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.
✓ When to exit
- 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").
📊 Best timeframe by entry type
15M • SCALP
Use only for opening-range scalps after 9:30 ET. Tightest stops, fastest decisions. Most beginner-hostile. Skip unless you have screen time + practice.
1H • DAY TRADE
Best for same-day momentum. Scan 8:00–9:25 AM ET. Place BUY STOP at PM high only inside the 9:25–9:30 AM ET window; close before 4:00 PM ET. Most balanced TF for pre-market.
2H • OVERNIGHT ★
Recommended for $500 accounts. Holds 1–2 days. Wider stop = fewer flushes. Catalyst has time to play out. Sweet spot for AST timezone.
4H • SWING ★
Best for swing entries off pre-market gaps. 1–5 day holds. Pre-market gap = trigger; daily structure = thesis. Cleanest R:R for the workflow.
DAILY • POSITION
Use when the pre-market gap confirms a multi-week thesis. Earnings beats, analyst upgrades, M&A. Larger stops, smaller size. Hold 3d–6w.
★ = recommended starting point. The scanner's defaults select 15M but for swing-style trading from pre-market gaps, switch to 2H or 4H in the dropdown above.
Bottom line: Pre-market trading is high variance, high cost, and high stress. For a $500 account, the cleaner play is to set a BUY STOP pending order at the pre-market high before 9:30 ET, then let the regular session decide. If the breakout holds, you're filled with normal-hours spreads. If it fades, no money lost. That's the Smart WATCH workflow applied to pre-market gappers.

Scalp
Same setup logic as the scanner, but exits at your $2 profit target instead of waiting for the full R:R move. Stop starts from a 2% base, then widens a bit for volatile metals and crypto when needed. Paste tickers below or pick a saved Custom List.
Timeframe: tries 15-min intraday first (proper scalp signal), falls back to daily when intraday is unavailable (off-hours, plan-gated, illiquid). Expected hold to target: 5–30 min.
Entry: MARKET (current price). Stop Loss: volatility-aware from a 2% base · Risk: 2% per trade · Target: $2 profit (whole position exit) · Take half at: $1 profit. Edit in Settings.
Verdict: uses scalp thresholds (ENTER ≥ 50, CAUTION ≥ 42, WAIT ≥ 30, AVOID < 30). The main scanner uses tighter swing thresholds (72/58/40) — scalps don't need the same conviction since the holding period is short.

Pullback
Direction first, entry second. This page is for the setups where the bias looks right, but chasing the current price is the bad fill. It sorts the board into Live Now, Wait Retest, Reclaim Entry, and Too Late / Broken so you can stop buying tops and shorting bottoms.
Momentum says the move is live now. Pullback says the direction may still be right, but the smarter fill is lower-risk and lower-emotion.
How To Read It
Live Now: price is still close enough to the valid entry that you are not badly chasing.
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.
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.

Why regime matters
In bull regimes, breakouts work — buy strength, hold, trail stops. Mean reversion signals fail.
In bear regimes, shorts work — fade rallies, sell breakdowns. Long breakouts fail twice as often as in bull regimes.
In chop regimes, range trades work — buy support, sell resistance. Both breakouts AND breakdowns whipsaw.
Regime is computed from SPY's position relative to 50-day and 200-day EMAs, plus 14-day ATR for volatility. Updates daily.

Total trading capital. Drives every position-size calculation.
How much of your account you're willing to lose on one trade if your stop hits. 1% is the industry-standard recommendation.
Take half off when a scalp is up this many total dollars. Scale to your account: $250 → $1-3 · $1k → $3-5 · $5k → $15-25 · $10k → $30-50.
Advanced — risk, stops, targets DEFAULTS ARE FINE
Stop = Entry − ATR × this. 1.5 = default swing.
2:1 standard. 3:1 high-conviction only.
Default 2% — wide enough scalps don't close on noise. Lower = tighter stop, more shares, more whipsaws.
Default ON. Capital.com supports fractional shares on stocks + crypto. Turn OFF only if your broker requires whole shares.
Positions below this fraction are flagged un-tradeable. 0.001 is safe for Capital.com.
When ON, Edit Trade fetches fresh data + prefills entry/stop/target. OFF by default.
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.
R (positive number)
Default 2R. At 1% account risk = 2% drawdown day. Hit your limit → step away → review tomorrow.
