No noise. Just what works.
Most traders sit down at 9:30 with no plan and wonder why they're losing.
The bare minimum pre-market routine:
1. News scan: 1-3 key points driving the market today
2. Index read: uptrend, downtrend, or chop?
3. Gappers + catalyst: what's in play and why
4. Scanners: build a watchlist of max 3-5 names with levels
5. Write your plan: what you're looking for AND what you're not doing
6. One thing to improve today. Just one.
7. Set your risk per trade and max daily loss before the open
30 minutes. That's all it takes.
Skip this and you're not trading. You're gambling with extra steps.

@sirzacha1ot@warsurv Many countries around tried to rip them apart without success in the last 60 years, and without US military help, read some history
The real problem AI automation solved for me is going through pre-market gappers, analyzing the news, and understanding the impact it can have on a companyβs fundamentals.
It also helps me analyze every company reporting earnings by reading the numbers, guidance, filings, and deciding whether it qualifies as an βEPβ or not.
This saves me a huge amount of time and manual work. Now I receive two daily emails with a summary of everything I need to know about stocks with news and earnings, instead of wasting time going through tons of information manually.
Yesterday stocks that moved on news with high volume:
$ASAN | Move +15.62% | Vol 19,008,169 | Catalyst: Q1 FY2027 earnings reaction plus AI/StackAI narrative and short-interest squeeze setup | Takeaway: ASAN jumped 15.62% on 2026-05-29 after reporting earnings after the close on 2026-05-28 and after news around its StackAI acquisition/AI positioning. The stock had heavy volume, high short interest, and strong relative volume, so the move likely had both catalyst buying and short-covering. For a 1-to-30-day swing, this is tradable, but it needs confirmation because the supplied evidence does not include the actual earnings press-release details or full acquisition/article text.
$DELL | Move +32.76% | Vol 42,366,555 | Catalyst: Earnings beat / AI server demand and outlook narrative | Takeaway: DELL exploded higher on 2026-05-29 after earnings. The supplied evidence shows a 32.76% move on about 42.4M shares, far above average volume, with Finviz showing EPS/Sales surprise of 64.09% and 22.66%. Headlines point to AI server demand and an outlook beat, but the article bodies are mostly missing or blocked, so the exact guidance details are not verified in the dossier.
$HOOD | Move +11.15% | Vol 64,410,963 | Catalyst: Regulatory/product-market catalyst plus momentum/analyst-news amplification | Takeaway: HOOD had a big momentum day: it closed up 11.15% at 94.30 on 64.4M shares versus 28.63M average volume shown by Finviz. The market appears to have bid up Robinhood on crypto/perpetual-futures optimism and continued product/news momentum, not on a confirmed SEC filing or hard financial update. For a 1-to-30-day swing, this is tradable but needs confirmation because the strongest catalyst is not fully verified beyond headlines.
$HPE | Move +12.64% | Vol 86,996,387 | Catalyst: AI server sector sympathy / peer earnings read-through | Takeaway: HPE jumped because traders treated Dell's strong AI-server results as proof that demand may also help other server makers. The stock had a real high-volume move, but the evidence supplied does not show a new HPE contract, earnings beat, guidance raise, SEC filing, or company-specific announcement.
$IBM | Move +12.71% | Vol 28,527,546 | Catalyst: AI/server demand sympathy from Dell earnings; possible IBM cybersecurity/quantum investment headline with unsupported body text | Takeaway: IBM ripped because traders treated Dell's blowout AI-server and compute demand as bullish for the broader server/enterprise tech group. The stock setup is strong, but the catalyst is not clean enough for an A because the best supported evidence is Dell-driven sympathy, while the IBM-specific $15B plan is only a headline in the supplied dossier.
$NTAP | Move +22.39% | Vol 15,911,807 | Catalyst: Earnings beat, higher guidance, AI/data-storage demand theme, and buyback authorization | Takeaway: NTAP jumped because traders repriced the stock after fiscal Q4 results: evidence says EPS rose 26%, sales rose 12% to $1.87B, both beat expectations, and management guided higher. The SEC 8-K also confirms the earnings release and a new authorization to repurchase up to $1.0B of common stock. That is a real catalyst, not just hype, but the supplied dossier does not include the full earnings press release body or exact guidance numbers, so confidence should stay below A-grade.
$OKTA | Move +30.14% | Vol 17,583,949 | Catalyst: Earnings beat / guidance raise / AI demand narrative | Takeaway: OKTA jumped 30.14% on 2026-05-29 after its May 28 after-market earnings event. The move looks tied to a Q1 beat, raised guidance, and investor excitement around AI-agent demand for identity security. The stock action was powerful, with volume far above average, but the evidence supplied is not enough to fully verify the size or quality of the guide raise because the article bodies were mostly missing or unusable and the SEC excerpt only confirms that the earnings press release was issued.
$PURR | Move +16.98% | Vol 31,179,628 | Catalyst: Regulatory approval read-through / crypto perpetual-futures theme | Takeaway: PURR moved because traders connected the CFTC approval of the first U.S.-approved perpetual futures product to Hyperliquid Strategies. The supplied MarketWatch text says PURR is a digital-asset treasury company offering indirect exposure to HYPE, and HYPE is tied to Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange where perpetual futures are traded. That makes the move understandable, but the approval was for Kalshi and Coinbase, not directly for PURR.
$REPL | Move +85.68% | Vol 51,373,361 | Catalyst: FDA/regulatory resubmission catalyst for RP1 BLA in advanced melanoma | Takeaway: REPL ripped 85.68% on May 29, 2026 after announcing it plans to resubmit its RP1 melanoma BLA following productive FDA discussions. The market treated this as a major reversal from prior FDA rejection risk. The setup is tradable because the news is real, fresh, and high-impact, with huge volume and short interest. It is not a clean continuation catalyst because the FDA has not approved the drug, and supplied WSJ text says the agency had previously rejected it twice over data concerns.
$SMCI | Move +11.60% | Vol 93,365,183 | Catalyst: Sector sympathy / AI infrastructure demand read-through | Takeaway: SMCI jumped 11.6% on very heavy volume because Dell's earnings and AI-server demand commentary made traders reprice the broader server-hardware group. MarketWatch specifically listed SMCI among server makers rallying after Dell's 32.8% surge and said investors were betting competitors could benefit too. That is tradable momentum, but it is still a sympathy move, not a confirmed SMCI-specific demand win.
$STG | Move +125.74% | Vol 24,972,730 | Catalyst: Share repurchase authorization plus cash asset disposal / balance-sheet value catalyst | Takeaway: STG exploded because the company announced it can buy back up to $50M of stock and also announced a RMB126M cash asset sale. Traders likely read that as a tiny-float, cash-rich China ADR suddenly signaling shareholder returns and unlocking value. The catalyst is real, but after a 125.74% one-day move, this is more of a high-risk momentum trade than a clean investment-quality continuation setup.
