Six stocks carrying a dated catalyst — an earnings print, a conference, a decision. For each one: the level that triggers the trade, the level that says you're wrong, and which expiry the catalyst actually justifies.
Both directions on every name. Fifteen minutes, Sunday morning — and it opens by grading last week's board, misses printed the same size as the wins.

Five or six stocks with something dated happening that week — an earnings report, a conference, a decision. For each one: the price that starts the trade, what has to happen on the chart for it to count, where price goes if it works, and the price that says you were wrong.
Both directions on every name. A good company can still hand you a short-term put setup, and a map that only looks up is an incomplete map.
Lifted unedited from Edition 02, written the Sunday before the week it covers.
Wed Sep 30 · 8:30 AM ET · before the open
An hour before the bell, so there is no session to trade ahead of it — the gap is the event. It also lands on the same clock as core PCE and GDP, so a yield-driven tape has to be told apart from a business miss.
Date confirmed against the company's own investor-relations page. Every date on the board is.
Friday's low, and roughly where it closed after giving back almost the whole day. Below that, the short side is live.
Set from Friday's close, two days before the briefing.
Acceptance, on the 5-minute chart. Price has to prove it can live on the other side of the level:
A wick through the level is not a trigger. If you have to squint at it, it didn't happen.
Three independent methods landing on one shelf. Check all three against public price history.
A sustained reclaim kills the short. The long side of this same name dies below $310.69.
Every name on the board carries both directions. You are never handed only the half that agrees with the thesis.
Oct 2 expires two sessions after the print. Oct 9 gives seven. The briefing lands before the open, so there is nothing to trade into it — you are buying the reaction, and a reaction needs room to happen.
Shorter is not ruled out. It is a different bet: cheaper, and it has to be right early. The brief prices both sides of that and leaves the choice with you.
That is one row, of twelve, in one edition. Nothing in it required seeing the chart afterwards.
That is the move you are being charged for. If it is bigger than the move you expect, don't buy it — you would need the event to beat expectations just to break even. It is in every edition, and it is the cheapest way to talk yourself out of a bad entry.
Edition 01's board, scored against what was written for it in advance.
One error, four times: a thesis that named a product instead of a mechanism, a benched name with no map, and a map that only looked up. Every name on the board now carries both directions. That correction exists because the grading forced it — which is the argument for grading at all.
Free, every Sunday: the Scorecard — last week's board graded, misses included, posted in public. Read it before you pay for anything.
If you want someone to make the decision for you, this is the wrong product.
