was going through my watchlist last session and clocked myself - 38 minutes to get through 42 tickers. by the time i was done the open was 8 minutes away and i was already mentally tired.
the thing i realised is i was doing the filtering manually that i could probably be automating. like i know what setup i'm looking for. why am i looking at charts that couldn't possibly meet those criteria?
shifted to setting filters the night before so by the time i wake up the 42 is already down to 6 or 8 that actually pass. then i spend my actual attention on those. takes about 10-12 minutes now.
curious if other people have figured out a similar system or if you're still doing it chart by chart. what does your premarket actually look like?
