From today will do a 100 days challenge of my day trading learning journal:
Here’s an easy English translation of your daily investment schedule:
7:30 AM
Open TradingView and check my custom news feed: macroeconomic data updates, Federal Reserve official speeches, major tech company news, AI spending trends, supply chain reports, chip spot prices.
8:30 AM
Data maintenance: update NAV (net asset value), review position exposure, adjust portfolio beta. Use FactSet and Bloomberg to track Nasdaq futures, semiconductor index, and US Treasury yield curve. Quickly review major holdings for catalysts and valuation changes.
9:30 AM
Try to learn: “The world is messy.”
12:00 PM
Review morning market performance. Look at sector heatmap and ETF flows to understand where money is going and risk appetite. Even though my portfolio focuses on fundamentals, I do a technical review every day. My team makes independent trading decisions—we handle everything from position adjustments to placing orders ourselves.
1:00 PM
Read research reports: focus on vertical SaaS pricing power, AI spending cycles, HBM (memory chip) adoption rates, liquid cooling equipment orders. Also study chip manufacturing daily—photolithography, etching, deposition, and EDA software.
3:00 PM
Start preparing monthly stock pitches. Primary research takes most effort. I talk with management teams, distributors, equipment makers, customers, and former employees. Often one off-the-record comment changes everything. Since we cover multiple sectors, I also peer-review other teams’ work and track their markets.
5:00 PM
Evening review: portfolio gained today. Performance shows positive stock selection, negative allocation, beta slightly above benchmark. EDA license renewals accelerating; TSMC hiring shows production line expansion; NVIDIA Blackwell shipments may delay (short-term disruption, long-term thesis unchanged).
8:00 PM
Compare ASML and LRCX gross margin analysis, update valuation models, run sensitivity analysis with AlphaSense, regularly check if my investment thesis still holds, eliminate disproven assumptions.
