Daily market checklist: 10-minute scan
This checklist is for education only and not investment advice.
1) Price direction
- Check the daily direction of your assets.
- Focus on direction over numbers.
2) Top 3 headlines
- Only confirm official releases (rates, CPI, earnings).
- Skip rumors and social noise.
3) Volatility check
- Identify whether moves are unusually large.
- The goal is to avoid overreaction.
4) Strategy integrity
- Did any event break your original plan?
- One-off exceptions often repeat.
5) Time check
- Do you have time to monitor today?
- If not, staying out is acceptable.
Summary
- Daily checks are about compression, not prediction.
- Keep it under 10 minutes.
