The Perfect Weekly Trading Routine With MRKT: How Smart Traders Prep for the Market

Successful traders don’t just show up on Monday and out of nowhere they start to trade. They have to follow a structured weekly routine:

• reviewing investors positioning;
• scanning previous headlines;
• checking the economic data in focus and it’s forecast;
• Overall market sentiment if something changed;
• mapping out bias before placing a single trade.

But here’s the catch: most retail traders skip this process because it feels overwhelming. No one wants to scroll through each and every news outlets, x accounts or instagram trader influencers just to know what took place and spending hours scrolling.

That’s where MRKT steps in, giving you a complete weekly roadmap in one platform.

In this guide, we’ll walk through the step-by-step trading routine you can follow every week using MRKT, so you trade with confidence instead of guesswork.

Step 1: Review the COT Report for Institutional Positioning

Every Friday, the COT (Commitments of Traders) report is released. It reveals how commercial hedgers, speculators, and big institutions are positioned in futures markets.

• If institutions are net long on gold, that’s a bullish signal.
• If speculators are cutting positions in USD futures, it hints at weakness in the dollar.

The problem? Raw COT data is hard to read but MRKT simplifies it, giving you the breakdown you need:

• The overall market how it is positioned on the specific futures;
• The market sentiment;
• the Percentages of shorts vs longs;
• The change from the previous week so you can see if there is a change or not, or if the trend actually continued strongly from the previous week and there is also the probability that I can continue after that.

Step 2: Check MRKT’s Daily Market Bias

Instead of guessing what the fundamentals are impacting the asset class you are trading , start with MRKT’s Daily Bias.

This is a personalized newsletter delivered to your inbox, showing:

• The directional bias (bullish, bearish, or neutral).
• The macro factors driving the move.
• The upside and downside targets for your chosen assets (forex, gold, indices).

This way, you prep for the following week with clarity, not confusion.

Step 3: Map Out Key Macroeconomic Events

Markets revolve around big economic catalysts:

• Inflation data (CPI, PCE, PPI).
• Employment reports (NFP, ADP, Initial Jobless Claims, JOLTS Job).
• Central bank decisions (Fed, ECB, BoJ, BoE, BoC).

Instead of digging through multiple calendars, MRKT highlights which events matter most for the country you choose. Plus, it explains what to expect if data comes in stronger or weaker.

Example:

• Strong CPI → USD bullish, gold bearish.
• Weak NFP → USD bearish, gold bullish safe-haven bid.

Other than that, it also show you a possible prediction tool by AI which is based on on historical patterns, statistical deviations, and current market conditions.

Step 4: Track Live Headlines

Markets don’t only move on economic data. Political headlines can cause instant volatility.

Trump tweets, policymakers comments, or geopolitical tensions often push USD pairs, gold, and equities aggressively before retail traders can react.

With MRKT’s Trump Tracker, you get:

• Real-time alerts whenever these headlines drop.
• AI-powered breakdown of market impact (bullish, bearish, neutral).
• Actionable insights for your chosen assets.

Step 5: Define Upside and Downside Levels

Every day, MRKT highlights upside targets (resistance zones) and downside targets (support zones) for your assets.

Why it matters:

• Prevents you from chasing trades.
• Keeps you focused on high-probability levels.

This step turns your routine into a structured trading plan instead of reactive trading.
