Summary
the team analyzed the impact of midday volatility, particularly in the financial and healthcare sectors, and explored its implications for active trades. Ernie guided refinements to the “big ass fly” strategy to better adapt to abrupt momentum shifts within specific sectors.
The session emphasized using VWAP as a tool for timing intraday entries during volatile trading conditions.
