The Sunday Sync-Up: How Traders Plan a Winning Week

Your best trades this week? They start Sunday.

Just like athletes stretch the night before game day, serious traders prep before the bell rings. The Sunday sync-up is more than routine. It's where plans are made, markets are mapped, and psychology resets. This isn’t about hustle, it’s about being ahead.

In this blog, we’ll walk through how the most consistent traders use MarketMemo every Sunday to gear up, get clear, and set the tone for the week.

1. Prep Your Charts and Calendar First

If you start Monday reacting, you’re already behind.

Use Sunday to mark major events: NFP, CPI, central bank decisions. Then map your chart zones (weekly highs/lows, key support/resistance). With MarketMemo’s Notebook, you can store this plan and reference it every day.

Tip: Keep it short. Just key events and 3–5 levels per pair.

Traders who prep weekly show 40% fewer impulsive entries.

2. Review Your Weekly Trade Data

Every week leaves clues, but only if you check.

Log into MarketMemo and filter trades from the past week. What was your best setup? Worst habit? Most common tag? Use this data to guide your new week. Not just to reflect, but to refine.

Tip: Write one insight into your notebook: “Avoided breakouts on low volume = success.”

Weekly reflection leads to a 31% boost in confidence scores.

"Your performance doesn’t change unless you study it."

3. Set Focus Goals for the Week Ahead

Don’t chase 10% gains, chase 1% improvements.

Pick one setup to perfect. One habit to improve. One rule to enforce. Log it in MarketMemo’s Notebook under “Weekly Focus.” This gives your trading a compass and not just a map.
