📈 Trading Tips: Pre-Market Trading; Moves Before the Bell

The market doesn’t wait for the bell. From 4:00–9:30 AM ET, news drops, spreads widen, and early levels set the tone for the day. Most ignore it. Pros don’t. Pre-market trading is real, but with unfinished price discovery.

Why it matters: pre-market highs/lows and VWAP often anchor the first hour of trading. If you skip them, you’re trading blind.

Pre-market trading strategies: Gap-and-Go and Gap-Fade with pro tips on order types

Two Classic Pre-Market Plays

  • Gap-and-Go: Strong catalyst + volume = breakout continuation

  • Gap-Fade: Weak news or exhaustion = reversal into the open

Pro Tip: Limit orders only. Market orders in pre-market can destroy your fill.
