At first glance MarketColor looks complicated with all its colors but in actuality the color-coding simplifies the assimilation of information. Basically the MarketColor profile presents a “picture” of the technical “gut” that define the state condition. With a little study of the color-coding key and what each indicator represents it can provide unique insight to give you an edge in your trading.

• Know the color-code
• Understand the utility of the indicators that make up the profile
• Know the meaning of action color signals (Green, Orange, Yellow)

Daily steps:

1. What is the position of the ADX Trending PURPLE or Non Trending BROWN.
2. Are there any action color signals (GREEN, ORANGE, YELLOW)
3. Is the color profile skewed with Trend colors (BLUE | RED) or Non Trend (BROWN)

Market State is the technical “playing field” the drama of the trading session is playing out on. Understanding Market State allows you to properly prepare for the trading day and modify your strategies accordingly. Trying to guess if the market is going higher or lower is not defining market state. Market State is not only about a directional bias but also the tone of that bias. Is the expectation for choppy trading conditions or smooth.  If you expect choppy conditions you’re not going to get frustrated when your trend following strategy keeps getting stopped out because you won’t be running it. Instead you may shift your outlook to short term “stick and move” type strategies or just not trade. To truly “know” what to do, having a firm understanding of Market State and its characteristics is imperative to long term successful trading.

JS Services trading tools provide structure which is based on technical facts. By having a clear understanding of the technical “truths” you are able to view the market through an objective lens and avoid opinionated emotional decisions.
