Hey traders,
Mondays used to wreck me.
I’d open my laptop, still pissed about some trade I botched on Friday. Charts loaded, heart racing, full of FOMO.
I’d force something dumb before 10 AM… and boom, red day before most people finish their coffee.
Took me way too long to figure out the real reset doesn’t happen on the chart, it happens in your head.
Now my Monday looks different, since I learned to hit the reset button.
I start slow. Review last week’s notes.
What trades felt clean?
What trades came from emotion?
I’m not looking to be perfect, I just want honesty. Catch the pattern, break it early.
Then I nuke my old watchlist.
I don’t care what ran last Wednesday. If it’s dead now, it’s gone.
I only want tickers trading clean, with volume, that could actually give me something this week.
Last step, I read my own rules. Out loud. Sounds dumb, but it helps.
I’ve broken them enough times to know where that road leads.
You show up on Monday with last week’s junk still in your head, you’re done before the market even opens.
With that outta the way, here’s what I’m watching this week:
Healthcare Triangle, Inc. (NASDAQ: HCTI)
Meme stock energy kicked in last Friday after an article called it out alongside some old-school squeezers.
Not the kind of name I trust to hold up long, but that kind of attention brings volume.
When these things stay liquid, they can offer clean scalps or overnight plays.
TNF Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: TNFA)
Landed on a “most active” list last week.
No major catalyst, but the volume’s real. Sometimes that’s enough.
Market makers love to play games with names like this, so I’ll watch to see if the strength holds or if it fades straight out of the gate.
AEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIDR)
This move came from a Nvidia AI tie-in.
You know how hot anything AI-related gets right now, especially with big names involved.
Volume went crazy. If it stays up and holds mid $4s, it might squeeze through $5.
Just needs to trap a few stubborn shorts.
GIBO Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: GIBO)
They dropped a PR about monetizing their app, and the stock actually responded.
Most of these PRs are garbage, but this one sparked a legit move.
If momentum sticks around, I’ll look for continuation early week. Still a junk ticker, but even junk can run too.
Garden Stage Limited (NASDAQ: GSIW)
Announced a $4.2M direct offering, but it still held up and attracted buyers.
That’s not normal. Usually, offerings nuke these things.
The fact that this showed strength anyway has me watching. Could be some bigger hands behind it.
You don’t need to win on Monday.
You just need to show up clear, stay patient, and avoid forcing trash.
The right setups always come, usually when you’re not chasing them.
Stay sharp. Trade smart,
Jack Kellogg
