Episode notes
Markets Are A Binary War Trade
- The market is trading as a binary choice: long the war or short the war.
- Jared Dillian says everything is perfectly correlated so diversification has failed and you must pick one directional view on stocks, oil, dollar, and gold.
Exploit Early Session Volatility
- Trade intraday volatility by finding short candidates on rallies and stepping on pre-market setups.
- Tony Greer describes focusing 9:15–10:00 for setups and sometimes being done by 11 after nailing pre-market entries.

- Jared expects oil to stay well above pre-crisis levels and warns Trump tweets can still flip sentiment quickly but with diminishing effect.
