Trading Recap Focus Video
Trading Volatility Bands
In this session, I break down how I trade Volatility Bands in real time—starting with premarket structure, defining objective levels, and executing non-discretionary trades as price interacts with those levels.
In this replay, you’ll see:
• How I build an opening strategy based on premarket price action
• A non-discretionary trade that triggered shortly after the open
• How price moved through the volatility bands from last night’s trading plan
• Two additional trades that rounded out the session
• My strategic framework for the afternoon session
This is not about guessing or chasing. It’s about building a repeatable process with clear rules, defined risk, and disciplined execution.

Today's Trading Recap
Market Recap: What Drove Price Action Today
Markets were choppy today as traders balanced mixed earnings reactions, shifting rate expectations, and continued rotation between sectors. Early strength faded as selling pressure picked up in mega-cap tech, with traders locking in profits after recent runs. Financials also struggled on cautious forward guidance, adding to the drag on the broader indexes.
At the same time, defensive and real-asset-linked names saw interest, with money rotating into areas viewed as more stable amid macro uncertainty. Treasury yields moved modestly, keeping pressure on growth stocks, while commodities attracted flows as a hedge.
Overall, today’s action reflected positioning adjustments rather than panic—a classic digestion day following recent moves, with traders becoming more selective and less momentum-driven.
