My 10-minute pre-market routine [OPEN]

The simple process that prepares me for profitable trading days...

March 21, 2025

I don't have enough time to trade successfully…

Is one of the biggest excuses I hear from aspiring traders who are balancing full-time jobs, family responsibilities, and other commitments.

And this excuse is detrimental to your progress and your success in the markets...

You see, I used to believe this myself.

When I started, I was balancing my 9-5 with trying to succeed trading the markets…

And I thought profitable trading required sitting in front of charts all day, constantly analyzing multiple timeframes and dozens of indicators.

I couldn't have been more wrong.

Some of the most successful traders in our Elite community spend less than an hour a day actively trading. 

What matters isn't the quantity of time you spend, but the quality of your preparation and decision-making.

Your trading dreams aren't out of reach because of time constraints - they're within your grasp with the right system.

Personally I developed the Adaptive Trading Approach…

On March 25th we’ll be opening limited trial access to the approach inside our elite community so reserve your spot >>HERE<< if you haven’t already…

Because this approach it’s helped me adapt and generate consistent returns in as little as 60 minutes a day while maintaining an ~80% win rate…

And that’s because a factor of the approach is our premarket scans that help us take profitable trading decisions soon after the market open…

Here’s an example of a 10-Minute Pre-Market Checklist you could use to win in the markets even if you’re tight on time:

1. Market Overview (2 minutes)

  • Check S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow futures

  • Note the overall market direction and any significant gaps

  • Review key economic events or news that could impact the day

2. Key Level Identification (3 minutes)

  • Mark institutional zones on SPY, QQQ, and 2-3 focus stocks

  • Identify potential breakout levels for the day

  • Note any significant prior day high/low levels

3. Watchlist Construction (3 minutes)

  • Select 3-5 stocks showing potential BRB setups

  • Rank them by setup quality and alignment with market direction

  • Set price alerts at key entry and exit points

4. Risk Parameter Setting (2 minutes)

  • Determine position sizes based on account risk parameters

  • Set maximum drawdown limit for the day

  • Identify profit targets and trailing stop criteria

That's it. 

10 minutes of focused preparation that eliminates hours of indecision and uncertainty during the trading day.

The market doesn't require all your time - it just requires the right approach at the right moment.

The beauty of this routine is that it eliminates the common excuse I hear from struggling traders.

Which is why we’ve had traders like Roux, take advantage of the Adaptive Approach and generate returns while running a business full time…

You need to stop seeing your busy schedule is no longer an obstacle - because if you have an proper approach to the market it can become your competitive advantage.

And if you’re looking to trial the Adaptive Trading Approach on March 25th at a more accessible entry point than we’ve ever offered before…

Spots will be strictly limited to ensure we can provide proper support to all new members.

If you don’t make the waitlist your trial won’t be guaranteed.

That’s All,

Team Theta Warrior
