In this instructional segment, the speaker explains that market makers base their large trades on the daily chart rather than short‑term charts like the 5‑ or 15‑minute. Consequently, traders—whether intraday, swing, or position—should begin their analysis on the daily timeframe. The daily chart reveals the key price levels that market makers target, which are obscured by the noise present on lower‑timeframe charts.
When the market makers are placing their trades and placing the biggest positions, they're not looking at stuff like the 15-minute or the 5-minute. What they're looking at is the daily chart. So you always want to start your analysis with the daily chart, regardless of if you are an intraday trader or if you are, you know, a short-term trader, and especially if you're a swing trader or position trader, because the daily chart will tell you which levels the market makers are going to target that you cannot otherwise see on a lower time frame. There's too much noise.
