Weekly Research — How to Read a Per-Ticker Setup
Each Weekly Research post is one ticker, one scan day, four blocks: a headline that gives you the regime in a sentence, sentiment + bias chips, a markdown body with key levels and catalysts, and two charts (weekly first, daily second). Knowing how to combine these is the difference between glancing at a chart and actually reading it.
The headline does most of the work
If you only have 30 seconds, read the headline. A good headline gives you the regime in one if-then sentence: "SPY: bullish above 530 weekly pivot, bearish below 520." That tells you the framework — where the decision points are and what each side means. Everything below the headline is detail that informs the framework.
The body is for catalysts, not opinions
The markdown body explains whythe chart matters this week. Catalysts worth reading carefully: earnings, sector dispersion, macro print, options positioning (especially around max pain or gamma flip strikes), insider activity, institutional accumulation. If you can't articulate the catalyst after reading, the post hasn't done its job — or you haven't finished reading. Either way, don't trade on it yet.
Use the sidebar to scan, the body to act
The sidebar lists the most recent writeups across all tickers. Skim it daily. For tickers you actually trade, open the post and work through it deliberately: headline → sentiment → body → charts → cross-checks (institutional flow, earnings calendar, insider buys). One screen of context before any trade decision.
Honest limits
- Posts age. A 5-day-old weekly read is partial signal at best. The sidebar timestamps tell you scan date.
- Charts are reference, not real-time. Always confirm current price before acting.
- One ticker = one post.If a ticker isn't covered this week, no positive or negative inference is implied. Absence of coverage is not absence of opportunity (or risk).
- Not investment advice. These are research notes for structural reads, not trade orders.
Frequently asked questions
What is a per-ticker weekly research post?
A long-form writeup for a single ticker on a single scan day. The post includes a title, a one-line headline summary of the read, sentiment + bias chips, a markdown body explaining the catalyst and key levels, and weekly + daily charts. Each ticker × day is its own post, keyed on (ticker, scan_day).
How is this different from the daily 0DTE trade-idea report?
The daily 0DTE report is on the home page and focuses on intraday trade ideas with explicit entry/target/stop levels. Weekly Research is structural — multi-week regime context, key levels, what could invalidate. Different time horizon, different purpose.
Should I trade off a Weekly Research post?
Treat it as a structural read, not a trade order. The headline tells you the regime; the body explains the catalyst; the charts show context. Use it to inform position sizing and entry timing, not as a trigger. Always cross-check current price before acting — posts age, and a bullish read from 5 days ago may not still hold.
How should I read the weekly vs daily chart?
Weekly chart = structural permission slip. Use it to confirm the trend direction over multi-month context — major support/resistance, regime status. Daily chart = trigger timing. Use it to identify entry windows relative to short-term levels. Together: weekly says whether to be long/short, daily says when.
What do the sentiment and bias chips mean?
Sentiment is the post author's overall read: bullish, bearish, or neutral. Bias is a free-form tag like 'fade-rallies', 'dip-buy zone', or 'wait for break'. Sentiment is the direction; bias is the playbook. Both reflect the read at scan time — markets shift, treat with appropriate freshness.
