What stands out

Schwab Coaching's Trader Talk is a window into how one of the biggest retail platforms is teaching clients to trade right now, covering Dow Theory grids, market breadth scripts, sector index reviews and the watchlist items /ES, /VX and /CL. That matters because client trading activity and education are the front line of Charles Schwab Corporation's business, affecting order flow, margin usage and flows into Schwab's exchange-traded funds (ETF). For investors, the webcast highlights where retail attention and potential intraday liquidity might cluster over the coming weeks.
