Daily process
By WideRadar · Published August 17, 2026
A desk only helps if you can run it the same way most mornings. The goal is not more features; it is a short loop you trust when you are tired, busy, or tempted to improvise. WideRadar is built around one order: find where strength is concentrating, confirm the name on the chart and data panel, then check whether the tape can support the trade. If two of those three disagree, you stand aside.
Sector RS → stock leaders → one or two charts (with EPS/sales/margins) → breadth. Five to fifteen minutes is enough to know whether today is a hunting day. Everything else is optional.
Growth traders lose more money to sequence errors than to missing an indicator: buying a pretty chart in a last-place sector, skipping earnings quality because the candle looks clean, or sizing a leader while the tape is already thinning. A fixed order makes those errors loud. You cannot “forget” breadth if it is always last. You cannot skip the pond if Leaders is always first.
The process also protects you from the opposite failure: staring at every column until the open has passed. Breadth has a lot of history. Charting has a lot of studies. You do not owe any of it your whole morning. You owe the loop a clean pass.
Open Leaders. Read the 11 sector RS scores. Note whether cyclicals/growth or defensives own the top. Then scan stock leaders in the groups that actually have the wind. You are building a tiny candidate list — two to five names — not a second career as an analyst. Click is the handoff to the chart.
One name at a time. Trend versus the 50- and 200-day, volume, Leadership Score, verdict as a checklist. Then EPS, sales, and margins on the same pane. You are asking a single question: do price, strength, and earnings quality agree well enough to be a trade if the tape is healthy? If the daily is broken, stop. Do not “complete the research” on a name you will not trade.
Breadth last on purpose. 4% up/down and the ratio, new highs versus lows, Market Tone as a shortcut. Thrusting participation: take the setup at planned size. Mixed: cut size or demand a better entry. Thinning or defensive leadership plus weak internals: no new risk, even if the chart is beautiful.
If you have thirty minutes, you still run the same order — you just open one more name. Extra time does not change the sequence. That is the whole trick.
You will not get unanimous green lights most days. Use a simple veto: if any two of Leaders, Charting (including the data panel), and Breadth conflict, you wait or you cut size. Examples: high RS + clean chart + thinning tape → small or none. Healthy tape + broken daily → none. Strong tape + strong RS + rolling-over margins → small, or wait for the numbers to stop arguing.
Five to fifteen minutes for the loop: sectors, a couple of names, data panel, breadth. Longer only if you already have candidates and you are planning actual orders. If it regularly takes an hour, you are browsing, not running a process.
Default is Leaders first so you always have names, then the chart, then the tape as a size veto. Start on Breadth only if you already know you will take zero risk in a bad regime and you want that veto before you look at anything shiny.
Still run the loop. Sector RS and breadth tell you whether your pet name is swimming with the tape or against it. The chart and data panel tell you if that name still deserves capital today.
They are the memory of the process, not a substitute for it. Review them on Charting after you have ranked today’s leaders. Yesterday’s list can be stale if leadership rotated overnight.
