A short daily review keeps you aligned with the market and your own process. Fifteen focused minutes beats an hour of random chart hopping.
Step 1: Index context
Check OMX Copenhagen 25, OMX Stockholm 30, and any index tied to your watchlist. Note trend direction and whether yesterday closed near the high, low, or middle of the range.
Step 2: Key levels on open positions
Mark support, resistance, and stop levels for each holding or sim position. Adjust only with a written reason, not because of boredom.
Step 3: Calendar and liquidity
Scan earnings, ex dividend dates, and macro prints for the next session. Nordic names can gap on local headlines. Know when spreads may widen.
Step 4: Scan your list, do not chase everything
Run your platform scan or watchlist filters. NordTraders subscribers often compare the morning idea list with their own chart marks. Empty lists can mean the filter worked.
Step 5: One sentence journal entry
Write what you expect tomorrow and what would prove you wrong. That sentence ages better than screenshots alone.
Consistency beats intensity
Miss a day during vacation. Return to the checklist instead of doubling activity to catch up.
