JSDesktop Workflow
The JSDesktop application is a tool to give traders an effective way to add our JSAnalytics to their daily trading routines. The steps below outline the workflow implemented within the application so they can be easily integrated with current routines.
- Identify the best opportunities with the MarketColor Grid.
- Understand the state, structure, and strategy by analyzing the PlayBook Portfolio.

MarketColor Grid
The MarketColor Grid is the starting point to quickly assess the technical condition of a new trade session, the JSDesktop renders our market state MarketColor Bias (MCB) indicator using a proprietary grid layout that reveals the opportunity landscape across a large number of markets at a glance. Using this method a trader can quickly evaluate the technical conditions of many markets and focus on the ones that align with their trade plan and offer the best profit opportunities for the session. For traders that trade in several market sectors multiple grids for each market sector can be configured.
JSDesktop MarketColor Grid
Market Cells. An individual market is represented by a cell within the grid. The background color, text color, text size, along with the textual descriptions in the corners of each cell are all used to describe the technical conditions of that specific market. A context sensitive “?” HELP built into the application provides users with the ability to easily understand the meaning of these graphic indicators.

Selectable Views. To dig deeper into understanding the fundamentals that determine the technical condition of each market is the ability to display different views based on several other MarketColor Indicators and MarketColor Profile Indicators. A pull-down box located above the MarketColor Grid is used to select the desired indicator and change what the data the grid is displaying. The context sensitive help built into the application provides the meaning revealed by the various views.
