What’s inside

The Sunday Watchlist Build is the operational workflow that turns the analytical layers from Issues 01-03 into a ranked list of ten names every Sunday evening — a list that survives contact with Monday's market. Most retail Sundays are a vibe: open Twitter, see ten names, FOMO into three, forget which thesis attaches to which name by Wednesday. The fix is mechanical. Six steps. Two hours. One output. Run it the same way every Sunday and the noise quiets down because the framework forces it to.

You will learn the six-step ritual in fixed order: COT positioning extremes feed the watch universe, 13F and Form 4 clusters narrow it, the gamma map adds dealer context, the data calendar adds timing, the confluence score adds discipline, and the ranked top-10 is the output that drives the entire week. Includes a worked Sunday from start to finish, the tools landscape, common mistakes, and how to tell when the workflow is failing you.
