Know the basics of trading first. Reading a chart on different time frames. What does the day look like. New week high maybe new lows. Know basic possible support or resistance levels. If you get right into Jigsaw it will be hard to understand. Paper trade a lot. Pretend like its your real money and see how you feel when the drawdown say 100 or more. Once you understand how the market moves to all this then look at jigsaw and other programs to help you
Why would NT8 be a better alternative than jigsaw? Isn't it more expensive and "just" another way of reading the order book? I mean, don't I basically pay for more things on NT8, that I'm not interested in?
However, I dont agree on being able to learn charts first necessarily. Ive already spent time on that, but chart-patterns are based on information coming from the DOM, which means I might as well look at the data from jigsaw. I'm interested in scalping, which means a chart will be somewhat useless for me.
Exactly. If you're interested in DOM trading, from watching Jigsaw and No BS videos, then use that tool. You are with Tradovate so you can use Jigsaw daytradr pulling data from the Tradovate platform. Needing to change broker to Ninjatrader for a less good DOM, needing to buy a licence for the orderflow tools, and potentially higher commissions, doesn't make sense.
Every journal here has people using different tools/indicators/software. Choose what makes sense to you then start watching your markets and give it a fair go, without getting distracted by other stuff. Good luck
You do not win as a trader, you just get to play again the next day. If that game doesn’t appeal to you then you should not trade. Gary Norden
I trade using the jigsaw tools and stream every session. My focus is on treasuries, but I have the ES on there too. That gives you about a year of video to watch. Don't forget that you can watch things on youtube in 2x speed with ctrl+>.

If you are interested in trading largely off the dom then Jigsaw is definitely what you want. The DOM in NT8 is just awful. Many traders I speak with also like SierraCharts.
Hey I've actually hung out in your chat a few times SpeculatorSeth! I didn't know you were also on futures.io. I'd watch more of your channel but I don't trade treasuries. From what I saw I think you place good trades and your analysis was spot-on. Wish someone like you were streaming CL or ES or some faster moving future.
Yeah I'll probably be sticking to treasuries for the long haul too, but I always have ES up there on screen. So if you're just looking to see the order flow replay it should be sufficient.
