This week in the China Shop, we finally get to talk about something other than the Ukraine invasion (although that still heavily dominated the discussion), as Powell admitted the Fed was wrong, again, and Musk makes his case for man of the year.

Jonathan Baird joins us in the China Shop this week to discuss his Global Investment Letter, a monthly journal that comments on capital markets around the world. Dan and Kyle try their best to bring up a current event/investing topic he wasn't well versed in... From Ukraine to interest rate hikes and even Turkey's currency issues, listen along and find out just how Jonathan was able to manage multiple #1 ranked funds!About JonathanJonathan created the Global Investment Letter to examine capital markets around the world. Geopolitical trends are explored and their potential impact on markets is discussed. In addition, articles on various other topics that may aid an investor, such as investment philosophy, book reviews etc. are included periodically.  An effort is made to keep jargon to a minimum.During his career, Jonathan managed three different #1 ranked funds, most recently in 2010 when he won a Lipper Award for the best global equity fund in Canada.  The same curiosity about the world that attracted him to money management in the first place certainly aided his investment decisions, since a good investor should have a practical knowledge of a range of disciplines, including economics, psychology, geopolitics and history.Guest Links:The Global Investment LetterSocials:Follow on LinkedinIf you like our show, please let us know by rating and subscribing on your platform of choice!If you like our show and hate social media, then please tell all your friends!If you have no friends and hate social media and you just want to give us money for advertising to help you find more friends, then you can donate to support the show here!2 Bulls Discord:https://discord.gg/Q8hft2zMTMAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week in the shop we are joined by two very special guests, Leo and Fleri from OrderFlow Labs. Listen along as we chat about Fleri and Leo's trading styles, how they got started developing Sierra Chart studies and how to use the tools they developed. We also learn about some of the obstacles they overcame in their journey to becoming profitable traders. Get your notepads ready, there's a ton of insights to be gained in this episode!About FleriFleri began trading on the early crypto exchanges and with mid cap stocks before shifting his focus to futures and intraday trading. His work on ES, NQ, RTY, CL and UB is rooted in Market Auction Theory and tracking market participants through pattern recognition and confluence of Price Action and Order Flow. Fleri approaches his trading day by coming to the open with a plan of execution-able areas for the auction to potential seek value while utilizing Order Flow and Price Action to capitalize on intraday rotations. His favorite OrderFlow Labs study is Session Delta Pivots... The SDP levels offer an opportunity to lean into pullbacks and anticipate initiation from previous aggressive auctions while providing ranges for larger rotations.About LeoLeo started his trading journey with options mainly through options data/flow tools. After getting tired of trying to find the next mover and carrying overnight risk, he found the futures market and switched his focus to mostly trading the ES and NQ. HIs favorite OF Labs study is the buy and sell zones because they help automate the process of finding areas where the pullback in the market gives you the best risk/reward to take the continuation trade. Guest Links:OrderFlow Labs WebsiteSocials:Fleri's TwitterLeo's TwitterOther Links:Book: Markets in ProfileIf you like our show, please let us know by rating and subscribing on your platform of choice!If you like our show and hate social media, then please tell all your friends!If you have no friends and hate social media and you just want to give us money for advertising to help you find more friends, then you can donate to support the show here!2 Bulls Discord:https://discord.gg/Q8hft2zMTMAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
