| 3 | ICT: Alright, folks, it's non farm payroll Friday, not for professionals. So I | ||
| 4 | have my full screen shown here. So you guys can see the time and all that | ||
| 5 | |||
| 6 | 2 | ||
| 7 | 00:00:30,600 ~-~-> 00:00:45,510 | ||
| 8 | business. Here's that same demo account that I said to keep track of that number | ||
| 9 | for savings isn't going to change. The market looks like it may want to drive | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | 3 | ||
| 12 | 00:00:45,810 ~-~-> 00:01:03,180 | ||
| 13 | under this low here. But not before coming up in here. I like this order block | ||
| 14 | right here. So I thinking that price will want to hit that. | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | 4 | ||
| 17 | 00:01:09,030 ~-~-> 00:01:22,440 | ||
| 18 | Maybe hit that and then come down and take the stops here. So the idea is use | ||
| 19 | non farm payroll to rally at first thinking it's gonna break out higher, and | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | 5 | ||
| 22 | 00:01:22,440 ~-~-> 00:01:25,290 | ||
| 23 | then sync it down and take the stops at 3520. | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | 6 | ||
| 26 | 00:01:38,280 ~-~-> 00:01:42,180 | ||
| 27 | Okay, and we're about to do that now. | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | 7 | ||
| 30 | 00:01:49,980 ~-~-> 00:01:59,490 | ||
| 31 | similar words, this is going to be a short, or run down here for about 50 pips | ||
| 32 | or so. Now, I would never take this trade with live money, because it's not on | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | 8 | ||
| 35 | 00:01:59,490 ~-~-> 00:02:10,170 | ||
| 36 | payroll numbers and anything can happen. Worst case scenario it could whip | ||
| 37 | through. Now, if this was a non payroll, I'm sorry, I'm not even no words. If it | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | 9 | ||
| 40 | 00:02:10,170 ~-~-> 00:02:23,520 | ||
| 41 | wasn't non farm payroll analyses using this example here, I would look for sell | ||
| 42 | here and use a 30 PIP stop to it would be well above here. But I think the draw | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | 10 | ||
| 45 | 00:02:23,520 ~-~-> 00:02:25,560 | ||
| 46 | is going to be on the low. | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | 11 | ||
| 49 | 00:02:38,760 ~-~-> 00:02:55,020 | ||
| 50 | Here's your run. Here's your order block. Again, it would be above your stock | ||
| 51 | will be above this high. Here's your old high back here on the daily. | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | 12 | ||
| 54 | 00:03:21,900 ~-~-> 00:03:38,070 | ||
| 55 | So 3599. That's where the stock would be 30 pips above from that level here. | ||
| 56 | We've already punched through these highs. And we'll see if there's any give | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | 13 | ||
| 59 | 00:03:38,070 ~-~-> 00:03:49,500 | ||
| 60 | back to make a run for the liquidity risk falling below the low on euro. See | ||
| 61 | we're approaching it equal high, and we'll probably see it trade back down, make | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | 14 | ||
| 64 | 00:03:49,500 ~-~-> 00:03:55,770 | ||
| 65 | it lower low on the day. And we watching for that 2020 level. What's the | ||
| 66 | downside objective | ||
| 67 | |||
| 68 | 15 | ||
| 69 | 00:04:02,850 ~-~-> 00:04:16,440 | ||
| 70 | given the nature of non farm payroll is to run, take out the side that's easiest | ||
| 71 | to knock off. In other words, we've seen market making lower moves today. So | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | 16 | ||
| 74 | 00:04:16,470 ~-~-> 00:04:27,690 | ||
| 75 | there obviously are people short. So there's two ways of using that information. | ||
| 76 | If it were not a non farm payroll Friday, the run back up here to get to this | ||
| 77 | |||
| 78 | 17 | ||
| 79 | 00:04:27,690 ~-~-> 00:04:42,270 | ||
| 80 | bearish order block go short there or run the buy stops on those individuals | ||
| 81 | that are short. They don't need to go very high above this high to run their | ||
| 82 | |||
| 83 | 18 | ||
| 84 | 00:04:42,270 ~-~-> 00:04:51,300 | ||
| 85 | stops. And then reject and go lower and reach for 35 2035 big figure and maybe | ||
| 86 | even down to 3495 | ||
| 87 | |||
| 88 | 19 | ||
| 89 | 00:05:54,360 ~-~-> 00:06:04,170 | ||
| 90 | Never concern myself with the actual numbers because the numbers themselves are | ||
| 91 | already factored in. They're actually old data, it is making it public. And they | ||
| 92 | |||
| 93 | 20 | ||
| 94 | 00:06:04,170 ~-~-> 00:06:08,070 | ||
| 95 | use those numbers as a smokescreen to run out liquidity. | ||
| 96 | |||
| 97 | 21 | ||
| 98 | 00:07:21,510 ~-~-> 00:07:25,650 | ||
| 99 | Notice the unwillingness to go above 35 at of any significance. | ||
| 100 | |||
| 101 | 22 | ||
| 102 | 00:07:51,990 ~-~-> 00:08:02,070 | ||
| 103 | So they had high initially on day three got to midnight, New York time, failing | ||
| 104 | to get to 35 at institutional level at levels, a good nice number for | ||
| 105 | |||
| 106 | 23 | ||
| 107 | 00:08:02,070 ~-~-> 00:08:11,070 | ||
| 108 | institutions and power orders in and around, they sold off, they come all the | ||
| 109 | way back up now this to hit the 35 at level now, which also effectively takes | ||
| 110 | |||
| 111 | 24 | ||
| 112 | 00:08:11,070 ~-~-> 00:08:25,410 | ||
| 113 | out to buy stuff on any holders that were short. So the idea is that cables been | ||
| 114 | going up for a while. And anyone that has been profitable shorting this morning, | ||
| 115 | |||
| 116 | 25 | ||
| 117 | 00:08:25,950 ~-~-> 00:08:33,570 | ||
| 118 | they are not allowed to be profitable. So non farm payrolls used to upset those | ||
| 119 | orders. And they take those individuals out | ||
| 120 | |||
| 121 | 26 | ||
| 122 | 00:08:53,910 ~-~-> 00:09:08,640 | ||
| 123 | few minutes past the release of non farm. Now, if it were a non event, like it | ||
| 124 | was non farm payroll, not included in today's calendar, I would be short right | ||
| 125 | |||
| 126 | 27 | ||
| 127 | 00:09:08,640 ~-~-> 00:09:15,420 | ||
| 128 | now. I wish I would be short at this moment where we're at here. | ||
| 129 | |||
| 130 | 28 | ||
| 131 | 00:09:22,020 ~-~-> 00:09:36,060 | ||
| 132 | So that would be my short. I'm not wasting my demo because I want to keep it | ||
| 133 | clean with actual demo executions, but I'm just giving you a pay per trade idea. | ||
| 134 | |||
| 135 | 29 | ||
| 136 | 00:09:36,660 ~-~-> 00:09:39,210 | ||
| 137 | So I'm demoing on a demo. | ||
| 138 | |||
| 139 | 30 | ||
| 140 | 00:09:44,370 ~-~-> 00:09:56,880 | ||
| 141 | But you guys see that same account the account history. I've been doing trades | ||
| 142 | recently. So it's been a few days since it's been done but that's where I'm at, | ||
| 143 | |||
| 144 | 31 | ||
| 145 | 00:09:57,450 ~-~-> 00:10:12,240 | ||
| 146 | to go back and look at my other screenshots and recordings, you'll see that that | ||
| 147 | balance matches, nothing's changed. And that's a dual accountability folks. | ||
| 148 | |||
| 149 | 32 | ||
| 150 | 00:10:12,870 ~-~-> 00:10:19,950 | ||
| 151 | Nothing to be afraid of, and nothing to be fearful of, unless you're losing. And | ||
| 152 | people don't want to see that. | ||
| 153 | |||
| 154 | 33 | ||
| 155 | 00:10:25,800 ~-~-> 00:10:41,970 | ||
| 156 | I'm typically on the sidelines till the third Tuesday. So I was waiting for the | ||
| 157 | first two weeks of trade through on every year in January. And then I pick up my | ||
| 158 | |||
| 159 | 34 | ||
| 160 | 00:10:41,970 ~-~-> 00:10:52,770 | ||
| 161 | actual interest in actual entries and such on the third Tuesday of every | ||
| 162 | January, and then I go light, like a very, very light on leverage. And I just go | ||
| 163 | |||
| 164 | 35 | ||
| 165 | 00:10:52,770 ~-~-> 00:10:54,150 | ||
| 166 | very, very slow. | ||
| 167 | |||
| 168 | 36 | ||
| 169 | 00:10:59,520 ~-~-> 00:11:10,950 | ||
| 170 | I go very, very slow, with the amount of leverage until I get into February. And | ||
| 171 | once I get into February, then I start working towards a normalized amount of | ||
| 172 | |||
| 173 | 37 | ||
| 174 | 00:11:10,950 ~-~-> 00:11:19,050 | ||
| 175 | leverage. And by the fifth of February, I should be in the thick of things. | ||
| 176 | |||
| 177 | 38 | ||
| 178 | 00:11:29,160 ~-~-> 00:11:47,400 | ||
| 179 | Again, note the unwillingness to want to go above 3580. We just went above these | ||
| 180 | initial daily highs. And the theme is, markets been going higher, or cable, we | ||
| 181 | |||
| 182 | 39 | ||
| 183 | 00:11:47,400 ~-~-> 00:12:00,720 | ||
| 184 | priced in a little bit of a rally in here, built a premium in on price and they | ||
| 185 | sank it going into London, they ran it up, took the stops out about the initial | ||
| 186 | |||
| 187 | 40 | ||
| 188 | 00:12:00,720 ~-~-> 00:12:11,640 | ||
| 189 | high of the day. And I would be looking for this thing to start working its way | ||
| 190 | lower. Now because it's Friday, we could see a rather lackluster event as well, | ||
| 191 | |||
| 192 | 41 | ||
| 193 | 00:12:12,180 ~-~-> 00:12:20,460 | ||
| 194 | you could just go right back to the middle of the range. And this is how you do | ||
| 195 | that. Okay, assuming that this high is the high of the day, this is something | ||
| 196 | |||
| 197 | 42 | ||
| 198 | 00:12:20,460 ~-~-> 00:12:32,250 | ||
| 199 | you do over the day. So equilibrium is right around here. So we could | ||
| 200 | consolidate between 3555 and 3550. If it doesn't drop, I just don't see it going | ||
| 201 | |||
| 202 | 43 | ||
| 203 | 00:12:32,250 ~-~-> 00:12:34,740 | ||
| 204 | higher and making higher highs of any significance. | ||
| 205 | |||
| 206 | 44 | ||
| 207 | 00:13:10,500 ~-~-> 00:13:19,080 | ||
| 208 | I'm not sure I can't recall if I mentioned that or not. But I mentioned that I | ||
| 209 | would I would be selling shorts. It was not nonfarm payroll Friday, at this | ||
| 210 | |||
| 211 | 45 | ||
| 212 | 00:13:19,080 ~-~-> 00:13:30,060 | ||
| 213 | level here, and I would simply use a 20 PIP stop. By because 20 pips above this | ||
| 214 | high, I'm already above that. So I don't think that 20 pips is going to be | ||
| 215 | |||
| 216 | 46 | ||
| 217 | 00:13:30,060 ~-~-> 00:13:40,110 | ||
| 218 | necessary. They ran it right to that level, right on the heels of the release of | ||
| 219 | the non farm payroll numbers. So I'd only be looking for a move lower. So if it | ||
| 220 | |||
| 221 | 47 | ||
| 222 | 00:13:40,110 ~-~-> 00:13:51,450 | ||
| 223 | was not a run on those by stops, yet, then I would use like a 30 PIP stop loss. | ||
| 224 | But because we've already essentially taken out device stops above that high. I | ||
| 225 | |||
| 226 | 48 | ||
| 227 | 00:13:51,450 ~-~-> 00:13:55,320 | ||
| 228 | can just go 20 pips above my entry, which would be hypothetically here. | ||
| 229 | |||
| 230 | 49 | ||
| 231 | 00:14:06,870 ~-~-> 00:14:14,400 | ||
| 232 | And some of you, you're probably wondering, well, if it goes down here and hits | ||
| 233 | that 3520 level, why didn't you take the trade? It would be in you know, in your | ||
| 234 | |||
| 235 | 50 | ||
| 236 | 00:14:14,400 ~-~-> 00:14:22,920 | ||
| 237 | account history, because it's not a day that I actually trade. And I'm | ||
| 238 | practicing what I preach. I try to tell people don't even practice in your demo | ||
| 239 | |||
| 240 | 51 | ||
| 241 | 00:14:22,920 ~-~-> 00:14:32,190 | ||
| 242 | one, and certainly don't want to trade with live funds, or non farm payrolls | ||
| 243 | Friday, because the casino ride, it's a carnival ride. It's it's absolutely. | ||
| 244 | |||
| 245 | 52 | ||
| 246 | 00:14:35,040 ~-~-> 00:14:43,050 | ||
| 247 | It's sometimes very volatile. And you might know what side of the marketplace it | ||
| 248 | wants to run for, but doesn't necessarily mean it's going to go the opposite | ||
| 249 | |||
| 250 | 53 | ||
| 251 | 00:14:43,050 ~-~-> 00:14:55,290 | ||
| 252 | direction right away either. So it can be really problematic for someone that | ||
| 253 | wants to know, a direction. The theme of this particular event is take the stops | ||
| 254 | |||
| 255 | 54 | ||
| 256 | 00:14:55,860 ~-~-> 00:15:04,350 | ||
| 257 | both sides of the marketplace if it's if it can be done. They'll take both | ||
| 258 | sides. But I view non farm payroll as a means of upsetting the ones that are | ||
| 259 | |||
| 260 | 55 | ||
| 261 | 00:15:04,350 ~-~-> 00:15:14,580 | ||
| 262 | going to stand to make the most money, post non farm payroll words, think of it | ||
| 263 | as a Judas swing. | ||
| 264 | |||
| 265 | 56 | ||
| 266 | 00:15:30,090 ~-~-> 00:15:57,390 | ||
| 267 | Now this portion of the video, I'm going to let it record, but it's going to be | ||
| 268 | sped up sounds, we'll make a note of that video speed increased now. So that way | ||
| 269 | |||
| 270 | 57 | ||
| 271 | 00:15:57,510 ~-~-> 00:16:12,240 | ||
| 272 | you guys know that what I'm doing is not any audio, I'm not talking right now I | ||
| 273 | can't fill in the gaps later on. Okay, so once I stopped talking, it'll just be | ||
| 274 | |||
| 275 | 58 | ||
| 276 | 00:16:12,240 ~-~-> 00:16:21,060 | ||
| 277 | recording the price action and then I'll come back when I take this off, then | ||
| 278 | it'll be real time and then we'll assess what's already happened. But I think | ||
| 279 | |||
| 280 | 59 | ||
| 281 | 00:16:21,090 ~-~-> 00:16:22,440 | ||
| 282 | ultimately, it's going to go down below | ||
| 283 | |||
| 284 | 60 | ||
| 285 | 00:16:23,160 ~-~-> 00:17:56,520 | ||
| 286 | here. Okay, so I would be taking my stop down to plus five | ||
| 287 | |||
| 288 | 61 | ||
| 289 | 00:18:02,880 ~-~-> 00:18:08,370 | ||
| 290 | in taking partial profits here. This is going to act as my stop. | ||
| 291 | |||
| 292 | 62 | ||
| 293 | 00:18:14,130 ~-~-> 00:18:30,060 | ||
| 294 | Now I'd be banking 75% 80% of the position and leaving the rest on the see if I | ||
| 295 | can get this stop around here to this was my hypothetical entry, but the high | ||
| 296 | |||
| 297 | 63 | ||
| 298 | 00:18:31,770 ~-~-> 00:18:44,760 | ||
| 299 | order block retreated back to that. And now we've seen some acceleration on the | ||
| 300 | downside, we do have a little bit of a water block in here, cable reach | ||
| 301 | |||
| 302 | 64 | ||
| 303 | 00:18:44,790 ~-~-> 00:18:56,130 | ||
| 304 | equilibrium, which is what I measured earlier. So that's what I'm saying I would | ||
| 305 | take that 75 80% off in this area here. That would be banked about 30 pips or so | ||
| 306 | |||
| 307 | 65 | ||
| 308 | 00:18:57,300 ~-~-> 00:19:19,560 | ||
| 309 | and a stop at plus five. So allow me to have a chance see if any further erosion | ||
| 310 | on price to get to that low. ideal scenario is for it to run to it before | ||
| 311 | |||
| 312 | 66 | ||
| 313 | 00:19:20,520 ~-~-> 00:19:30,240 | ||
| 314 | 10am 10:30am New York time. The longer it waits and lags, the less likely it | ||
| 315 | will do that and will probably just stay right in the middle of the range for | ||
| 316 | |||
| 317 | 67 | ||
| 318 | 00:19:30,240 ~-~-> 00:19:37,290 | ||
| 319 | the rest of the day. So I'll go back into speeding the video up now. | ||
| 320 | |||
| 321 | 68 | ||
| 322 | 00:21:40,019 ~-~-> 00:21:49,499 | ||
| 323 | Alright folks, as you can see it's 11 o'clock in the morning, New York time. So | ||
| 324 | I would be killing the trade here. Any open profits on my demo position would be | ||
| 325 | |||
| 326 | 69 | ||
| 327 | 00:21:49,919 ~-~-> 00:22:00,329 | ||
| 328 | taken and any open position will be closed so there won't be any more likelihood | ||
| 329 | for downside movement. And I'll just let you guys pan out the rest of the day | ||
| 330 | |||
| 331 | 70 | ||
| 332 | 00:22:00,329 ~-~-> 00:22:04,649 | ||
| 333 | and see what has transpired but I will be out based on London close time | ||
| 334 | parameters. |
