Morning Brief

The Morning Brief is a one-page, pre-open summary of everything CutlassEdge already knows about the setup: what yesterday did, what the overnight is doing, the untested levels in play, what history says about a day like yesterday, and a few if/then lines. Open it before the bell, read it in a couple of minutes, and copy or print it. It is shaped after Charles's own pre-market checklist.

Opening it

Click the book icon in the header, or press Cmd-K and choose Morning Brief. It assembles fresh each time you open it. On a live morning it reads yesterday plus the overnight so far; on sample or older data it reads the last session.

What is on it

The brief is a stack of short sections, in order:

  • Yesterday's auction. The day type, where it closed, how value migrated, the POC, value area, and VWAP, the range, IB, and volume, and any structure flags (tails, poor highs and lows, single prints).
  • Overnight, so far (live mornings only). Whether the overnight left the market net long, net short, or balanced, whether price is in or out of balance versus yesterday, any gap in play with its fill target, and the developing POC.
  • Balance area. The current balance-area levels.
  • Untested levels (magnets). The nearest untested magnets on each side, with their ages and any confluence, straight from the Magnet map.
  • What history says about a day like yesterday. The base rates for the situation, each with its sample (hits out of N), and a warning when the sample is thin. These are historical frequencies, not predictions (see Base rates and sample sizes).
  • If / then, from yesterday's structure. A few descriptive if/then lines for the situations the day might present.

Copy or print it

Two buttons: Copy brief puts the whole sheet on your clipboard as clean text, ready to paste into Discord or a daily post, and Save PDF prints it as a one-page sheet. It is the same routine Charles runs for his own daily brief.

How to read it

The brief is a pre-open orientation, the same impersonal, educational read as the rest of the app, gathered in one place. It tells you what the market has set up, not what to do about it. The numbers under "What history says" are past frequencies shown with their sample sizes, and they are weighed the way the Base rates page describes.
