This One Charting Tool Could Change the Way You Day Trade – Here’s How to Use It

Hello traders,

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I’m a fan of simplicity and precision when it comes to day trading. I don’t care for cluttered charts or endless indicators. But there’s one tool I absolutely rely on every single trading day—and that’s the anchored VWAP.

In this new video, I walk you through exactly how I use the anchored VWAP from the 9:30 a.m. cash open to spot powerful intraday setups. Whether the market is trending hard or chopping sideways, this tool helps me stay aligned with institutional positioning—because that’s where the real edge is.

This one’s specifically for my fellow day traders.

I use this VWAP technique alongside my continuation and reversal setups, and frankly, it gives me a huge advantage. In the video, I show you how I apply it live in TradingView, how I set the 2 and 3 standard deviation bands, and how I use them to anticipate price reactions with real accuracy.

You’ll see how I traded both Friday’s range-bound session and Thursday’s volatile one (yeah, the day that whole Elon vs. Trump feud shook the market). No hindsight fluff—just raw, real setups as they unfolded.

What You’ll Learn by Watching:

  • How I anchor the VWAP at 9:30 a.m. EST and why it matters so much for intraday context
  • The exact settings I use in TradingView, including why I skip the 1 standard deviation band
  • How I use the VWAP bands to spot institutional footprints, build trade bias, and even identify targets
  • Why this tool is so effective for both entry and exit—especially in fast-moving environments

This isn’t theory. It’s what I actually do. Every. Single. Day

I promise you—if you haven’t tried anchoring your VWAP this way yet, you’re missing out on one of the cleanest, most reliable tools for short-term trading. 

Whether you’re scalping futures or managing intraday stock trades, this one addition can massively upgrade how you read the price action.

See you in the next one.

When Central Banks Signal Stability

Hello traders, Last week, the ECB held rates steady at 2%. On the surface, that looks like a non-event. No fireworks, no shock. But in this market, “steady” is anything but boring. Stability from a central bank in 2025 is not passive, it’s a signal. Traders were leaning hard on the idea that cuts might …
