20/20 Market Vision - Staying on the right side of the market

On 1st April, 2016 we be presented a webinar entitled "20/20 Market Vision - Staying on the right side of the market". The webinar was hosted on the TopstepTrader Squawk Radio Show.

In this webinar, we took a look at how to stay on the right side of the market using the Jigsaw Order Flow Analysis Tools, including the new Auction Vista Order Flow Heatmap. We considered using the tools to compliment an existing trading style and stand alone to identify trade locations and manage positions. We looked at the features of the tools in the context of different styles of day trading and consider the following:

Algorithmic & Predatory trading - The myths vs the realities
Market Making techniques (scalping)
Spoofing and iceberging
Hidden backstops created during the trading day, that can be used as entry points/stop out locations
Thin (illiquid) vs Thick (liquid) markets (e.g. Crude vs eMini S&P500)
The significance of Depth vs Trade Execution information - Putting them into perspective.

This is the first major webinar we have done to discuss how the Auction Vista information should be interpreted. The video is below

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

The following is a mandatory disclaimer for SIM Trading results:

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN; IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM. ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK OF ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT TRADING RESULTS.
