I had a great conversation with Tiger Berry about performance psychology in trading.

Trading strategy is only half the job. If you keep sabotaging good ...

By 11:30 ET, the market has already absorbed the morning’s economic releases, overnight earnings, bond-market moves, and the initial opening volatility. I'll look at what the market is actually doing with the news rather than trying to predict the headline reaction. We’ll break down where the early move is holding, where it is failing, and how volatility bands, pivots, volume, and order flow can help identify the second trade of the day—often the more actionable one.

We examine how renewed U.S.–Iran tensions, rising oil prices, and elevated Treasury yields are colliding with continued strength in AI stocks—and use real-time order flow and volatility levels to identify today’s best trading opportunities

Join us live as we break down what’s driving today’s market, including rising Treasury yields, higher oil prices, geopolitical risk, and the pressure on technology and semiconductor stocks. We’ll also look at the key levels and trading opportunities developing in real time.

The opening volatility is behind us. Now we’ll break down what the morning price action is telling us—and where the best opportunities may be setting up for the rest of the session.The trading question is: Does weaker consumer spending give stocks another reason to rally because it reduces pressure on the Fed—or are we beginning to see evidence that economic growth is actually slowing?

I’d structure the show around:

Why stocks are holding near record highs despite weakening retail sales
The difference between “Fed-friendly weakness” and “recessionary weakness”
What yesterday’s cooler PPI and today’s retail-sales miss are telling us about rates
Whether the Nasdaq/Mag 7 can keep carrying the market
The levels on QQQ/NQ, TSLA, NVDA and AAPL that tell us whether buyers are actually defending the rally
How to use Volatility Bands, Bookmap/order flow and SpotGamma positioning rather than trying to predict the economic narrative

Hook for the show:
“Retail sales just delivered their biggest drop in more than a year—and the market barely blinked. That sounds bullish. But there’s a point where bad economic news stops being good news for stocks. Today we’re going to look at the charts and order flow to figure out which side of that line we’re on.”

In this trade review, I break down a Tesla short that developed as TSLA began losing momentum and formed an Infield Fly reversal setup on the 5-minute chart.

The setup itself came from price action—but the real insight came from watching how Bookmap liquidity and SpotGamma HIRO behaved around the trade.

You’ll see how I used:

The 5-minute chart to identify the setup, entry, stop and target
Bookmap to evaluate overhead liquidity, price pinning and whether displayed orders were persistent or being pulled
HIRO to add options-flow and dealer-hedging context
Multiple sources of confluence to manage the trade when TSLA stalled instead of immediately moving lower
Real-time liquidity behavior to decide when to hold, reduce risk and ultimately take the profit objective

One of the biggest lessons is that these tools should not all be used as entry signals.

For me, the hierarchy is:

Price Action → Liquidity → Options Context → Trade Management

Bookmap and HIRO don’t provide certainty. They provide additional evidence that can help you understand what may be happening underneath the candles.

This Tesla example is a great illustration of how I put those pieces together in real time.

Tomorrow morning I’d connect the sharp semiconductor selloff, rising long-term Treasury yields, and the growing concern over AI valuations into one very timely discussion.

The Nasdaq fell 1.3% Tuesday, while the semiconductor index dropped about 5%. Nvidia fell 2.3%, Micron lost 7%, and long-term Treasury yields remained near multidecade highs. (Reuters⁠)

The central question for the broadcast:

Are we seeing a normal rotation and profit-taking event—or the beginning of the valuation reset we’ve been talking about?

I’d structure the live market discussion around:

* NVDA and the semiconductors: Is Tuesday’s weakness creating an opportunity or warning us that institutions are reducing AI exposure?
* QQQ: Key support and whether buyers return after Tuesday’s tech-led decline.
* 30-year Treasury yield / TLT: Are rates becoming the catalyst that finally pressures high-multiple technology stocks?
* AI valuation risk: Why AI can continue succeeding fundamentally while AI stocks correct.
* Oil and inflation: Brent finished Tuesday around $91, keeping pressure on inflation expectations and long-term rates. (Reuters⁠)
* Wednesday’s setups: Where the opening gaps and first-30-minute price action tell us whether Tuesday was capitulation, rotation, or the beginning of something larger.

One additional catalyst for the afternoon is the release of the July FOMC minutes at 2:00 p.m. ET Wednesday, so the morning market will also be positioning ahead of the Fed. (Thomson Investment Group, Inc.⁠)

My favorite teaser headline for 8:00

AI Stocks Just Got Hit. Is This the Dip—or the Warning?

That is probably stronger for the teaser than repeating the livestream title because it creates an immediate reason to tune in at 8:30.

Stocks are under pressure this morning as Treasury yields push higher, technology and AI names sell off, and fresh economic data adds another layer of uncertainty. July housing starts fell 12.4%, considerably worse than expected, while traders are also watching industrial production and capacity utilization for clues about the strength of the economy and the Fed’s next move.
The trading question is: Does weaker consumer spending give stocks another reason to rally because it reduces pressure on the Fed—or are we beginning to see evidence that economic growth is actually slowing?

Why stocks are holding near record highs despite weakening retail sales
The difference between “Fed-friendly weakness” and “recessionary weakness”

Today’s livestream can focus on the market’s increasingly tricky reaction to economic data. July retail sales unexpectedly fell 0.6%, the biggest decline in more than a year, yet the major indexes are still hovering near record highs.
