On the interview we discuss everything about order flow trading, and why this technique provides a trading strategy edge. We discuss why trading the future market is a great opportunity:

Our goal was to demystify order flow trading, how market participant interact with each other and how that creates a trading edge. We also discussed what order flow is not, and cleared up a lot of confusion about the topic from new traders. Job mentioned his favorite tools for futures market analysis and how he uses them:

• Market Profile
• Volume Profile
• Footprint Chart
• Time and Sales
• Delta

We then proceeded to discuss our individual trading styles, as well as trading psychology hacks to help traders improve their strategy and execution.

• Importance of understanding not only your own psychology but mass psychology as it relates to the markets
• If you understand how retail traders think & act, you can trade against them
• The debilitating effect of cortisol on your trading, and how it shuts down your rational mindset and leads to enormous loss of control and destruction of capital
• Important of having and following YOUR trading plan

The episode finishes off with a fascinating discussion around how to treat trading like a real business, and the importance of shutting down your trading platform once you are done for the day.
