Morning Forge
A 60-second pre-market ritual that assesses your readiness and sets intentions for the day.
Why Morning Check-in?
Your mental state impacts your trading decisions more than you think. The Morning Forge helps you:
- Recognize when you're not in peak condition
- Set clear intentions before the market opens
- Build a consistent pre-trade routine
- Track readiness vs. performance correlation over time
The 3-Step Process
Readiness Check
Rate your current state on four dimensions:
Sleep Quality
How rested are you?
Energy Level
Physical alertness
Mental Focus
Clarity of thought
Stress Level
External pressures
Market Outlook
Select your bias (bullish, bearish, neutral) and preferred risk level for the day.
Daily Intentions
Complete two statements: "Today I will..." and "Today I will NOT..."
Readiness Score
Based on your inputs, Forge calculates a Readiness Score (0-100) and provides a recommendation:
Trade Aggressive (80-100)
You're in peak condition. Execute your A+ setups.
Trade Defensive (50-79)
Reduce size. Only take high-conviction trades.
Sit Out (0-49)
Not a trading day. Paper trade or study instead.
How to Access
Click the Morning Forge button in the top navigation bar. It appears on the dashboard before your first trade of the day.
Completing the check-in each morning extends your check-in streak and contributes to your Forge Score.
