Live Day Trading Market Analysis – 18th March 10:30am

It’s an unintentionally well kept secret that each Tuesday and Thursday Jigsaw Trading do a segment on the TopstepTrader Squawk Radio Show

This is a live, unscripted segment where we look at the big picture and what the market might be trying to do overall, over the next few days and in the current day.

It follows on from the pre-market prep we do every morning before the open. The pre-market prep for Tuesday is here: https://www.topsteptrader.com/s-p-futures-daily-pre-market-prep-and-levels-3-18

After looking at the bigger picture, we then zoom down to the Day Trading timeframe. Every day is different and so every show is different. We take a look at specific events that occurred earlier in the day that were significant from an order flow perspective.

Then we look at the right here, right now and look at what opportunities are on the table. We do talk through what is happening in real time.

Lots of people have requested we do this sort of thing, so I recorded Tuesdays show. If anything it helps to understand the nuance of actually looking at the market in real time. There really isn’t a lot to learn here. So don’t be put off by this. I just have some basic knowledge and I watch it every day. So I focus on getting experience and not on applying lots of day trading different techniques.

As usual set to Full HD, Full Screen mode for best results.
