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:

- 24/5 trading hours
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

- 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.
