Active Investing Edge

By Geoff Bysshe

Video Summary:

In this late-day MarketGauge mentoring session, the host walks through an end-of-day analysis routine designed for traders who balance market focus with other commitments. He demonstrates how to evaluate key ETFs and sectors, interpret movements in SPY, QQQ, and IWM, and apply proprietary MarketGauge indicators like Triple Play and Real Motion. Participants learn to identify breakouts, reversals, and sector rotation, with case studies across major symbols such as Walmart, XLE, and VLO. The discussion also links macro pressures—like geopolitical tensions and earnings—to practical trading decisions. The mentor closes with insights on refining checklists, staying objective, and developing adaptive trading rhythms.
