| 14 | 00:00:24,150 ~-~-> 00:00:29,190 | ||
| 15 | channel, so I mentioned on the Euro, we would most likely | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | 5 | ||
| 18 | 00:00:29,190 ~-~-> 00:00:36,360 | ||
| 19 | sweep that 118 50 level and directly related to this high | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | 6 | ||
| 22 | 00:00:37,320 ~-~-> 00:00:41,100 | ||
| 23 | these relatively equal highs, and I said we would likely see | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | 7 | ||
| 26 | 00:00:41,160 ~-~-> 00:00:47,430 | ||
| 27 | it, run those, and we got it on Thursday today, August | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | 8 | ||

| 37 | 10 | ||
| 38 | 00:01:02,250 ~-~-> 00:01:09,360 | ||
| 39 | were basically in line with allowing the current environment | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | 11 | ||
| 42 | 00:01:09,360 ~-~-> 00:01:16,350 | ||
| 43 | to remain intact. So that was met with a repricing | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | 12 | ||
| 46 | 00:01:17,940 ~-~-> 00:01:23,100 | ||
| 47 | aggressively higher and lower. Now, in the comments I've | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | 13 | ||
| 50 | 00:01:23,100 ~-~-> 00:01:26,940 | ||
| 51 | been placing on my community tab on the inner circle trader | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | 14 | ||
| 54 | 00:01:26,940 ~-~-> 00:01:30,900 | ||
| 55 | YouTube channel. I mentioned the importance of market | ||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | 15 | ||
| 58 | 00:01:30,900 ~-~-> 00:01:35,160 | ||
| 59 | profiles. Now when I say that invariably people that trade | ||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | 16 | ||
| 62 | 00:01:35,160 ~-~-> 00:01:39,570 | ||
| 63 | market profile, they will think that I'm referring to that | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | 17 | ||
| 66 | 00:01:39,600 ~-~-> 00:01:43,470 | ||
| 67 | and that's not what I'm referring to. Market profiling, by | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | 18 | ||
| 70 | 00:01:43,470 ~-~-> 00:01:51,720 | ||
| 71 | my definition is very specific. Like, templates, okay. How | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | 19 | ||
| 74 | 00:01:51,720 ~-~-> 00:01:58,440 | ||
| 75 | the market should pan out or or deliver in price. One of the | ||
| 76 | |||
| 77 | 20 | ||
| 78 | 00:01:58,440 ~-~-> 00:02:01,650 | ||
| 79 | hardest ones to operate in Is Seek and Destroy, as I | ||
| 80 | |||
| 81 | 21 | ||
| 82 | 00:02:01,650 ~-~-> 00:02:05,520 | ||
| 83 | mentioned, on the community tab this week, and we are | ||
| 84 | |||
| 85 | 22 | ||
| 86 | 00:02:05,520 ~-~-> 00:02:10,950 | ||
| 87 | looking at that profile. Okay, so one of the things I get | ||
| 88 | |||
| 89 | 23 | ||
| 90 | 00:02:11,010 ~-~-> 00:02:17,310 | ||
| 91 | questioned a lot about an email from members that follow | ||
| 92 | |||
| 93 | 24 | ||
| 94 | 00:02:17,310 ~-~-> 00:02:22,410 | ||
| 95 | this YouTube channel. And my teachings is how to know when a | ||
| 96 | |||
| 97 | 25 | ||
| 98 | 00:02:22,410 ~-~-> 00:02:26,190 | ||
| 99 | market environment is a seek and destroy. Because if you can | ||
| 100 | |||
| 101 | 26 | ||
| 102 | 00:02:26,220 ~-~-> 00:02:31,230 | ||
| 103 | learn those characteristics, those traits, then hopefully, | ||
| 104 | |||
| 105 | 27 | ||
| 106 | 00:02:31,980 ~-~-> 00:02:37,230 | ||
| 107 | you will avoid demolishing your account and trading back and | ||
| 108 | |||
| 109 | 28 | ||
| 110 | 00:02:37,230 ~-~-> 00:02:41,520 | ||
| 111 | forth, you're trying to capture the next big move, because | ||
| 112 | |||
| 113 | 29 | ||
| 114 | 00:02:41,520 ~-~-> 00:02:44,910 | ||
| 115 | that's generally what this profile will end up enticing | ||
| 116 | |||
| 117 | 30 | ||
| 118 | 00:02:44,910 ~-~-> 00:02:48,750 | ||
| 119 | traders to do. A big move will happen on the upside, and | ||
| 120 | |||
| 121 | 31 | ||
| 122 | 00:02:48,780 ~-~-> 00:02:52,740 | ||
| 123 | they'll think it's either a reversal or it's a continuation, | ||
| 124 | |||
| 125 | 32 | ||
| 126 | 00:02:53,220 ~-~-> 00:02:57,780 | ||
| 127 | and it's just back and forth and just completely grind you | ||
| 128 | |||
| 129 | 33 | ||
| 130 | 00:02:57,780 ~-~-> 00:03:02,220 | ||
| 131 | down. So I don't want to speak to much about this, cuz | ||
| 132 | |||
| 133 | 34 | ||
| 134 | 00:03:02,280 ~-~-> 00:03:06,480 | ||
| 135 | obviously most of you are not going to see value in this | ||
| 136 | |||
| 137 | 35 | ||
| 138 | 00:03:06,480 ~-~-> 00:03:09,810 | ||
| 139 | because you probably really knew. And you want to see me | ||
| 140 | |||
| 141 | 36 | ||
| 142 | 00:03:09,810 ~-~-> 00:03:12,000 | ||
| 143 | point to this is a buy signal and this is a sell signal. | ||
| 144 | |||
| 145 | 37 | ||
| 146 | 00:03:12,000 ~-~-> 00:03:14,670 | ||
| 147 | This is a secret order block. This is the secret breaker, | ||
| 148 | |||
| 149 | 38 | ||
| 150 | 00:03:15,480 ~-~-> 00:03:23,610 | ||
| 151 | all those things, I think if you were versed enough, or at | ||
| 152 | |||
| 153 | 39 | ||
| 154 | 00:03:23,610 ~-~-> 00:03:28,680 | ||
| 155 | least seasoned with trading with live funds and have lost | ||
| 156 | |||
| 157 | 40 | ||
| 158 | 00:03:28,680 ~-~-> 00:03:31,830 | ||
| 159 | money, a discussion like this, even though it may be as | ||
| 160 | |||
| 161 | 41 | ||
| 162 | 00:03:31,830 ~-~-> 00:03:35,700 | ||
| 163 | brief as it is, will be more meaningful to you. Now, if | ||
| 164 | |||
| 165 | 42 | ||
| 166 | 00:03:35,700 ~-~-> 00:03:41,160 | ||
| 167 | you're a new trader or student, that idea will go right over | ||
| 168 | |||
| 169 | 43 | ||
| 170 | 00:03:41,160 ~-~-> 00:03:45,510 | ||
| 171 | your head, okay, not because of a lack of intelligence. It's | ||
| 172 | |||
| 173 | 44 | ||
| 174 | 00:03:45,510 ~-~-> 00:03:49,050 | ||
| 175 | just because your perception and perspective on the | ||
| 176 | |||
| 177 | 45 | ||
| 178 | 00:03:49,050 ~-~-> 00:03:54,630 | ||
| 179 | marketplace is not yet in line with what would be closely | ||
| 180 | |||
| 181 | 46 | ||
| 182 | 00:03:54,630 ~-~-> 00:03:58,890 | ||
| 183 | related to someone who has engaged in real risk. Okay, so | ||
| 184 | |||
| 185 | 47 | ||
| 186 | 00:03:59,550 ~-~-> 00:04:04,980 | ||
| 187 | one The main focuses of my channel here is to help you avoid | ||
| 188 | |||
| 189 | 48 | ||
| 190 | 00:04:04,980 ~-~-> 00:04:10,320 | ||
| 191 | pain and pain. in its purest sense in trading is the | ||
| 192 | |||
| 193 | 49 | ||
| 194 | 00:04:11,910 ~-~-> 00:04:13,050 | ||
| 195 | removal funds. | ||
| 196 | |||
| 197 | 50 | ||
| 198 | 00:04:14,340 ~-~-> 00:04:18,030 | ||
| 199 | When you are no longer solvent, okay, you blow your account | ||
| 200 | |||
| 201 | 51 | ||
| 202 | 00:04:18,060 ~-~-> 00:04:20,400 | ||
| 203 | and that's what I'm trying to help you avoid because if you | ||
| 204 | |||
| 205 | 52 | ||
| 206 | 00:04:20,400 ~-~-> 00:04:24,300 | ||
| 207 | can avoid doing that you'll stay in the game long enough to | ||
| 208 | |||
| 209 | 53 | ||
| 210 | 00:04:24,300 ~-~-> 00:04:30,090 | ||
| 211 | find your own method and own approach to using the things | ||
| 212 | |||
| 213 | 54 | ||
| 214 | 00:04:30,090 ~-~-> 00:04:35,700 | ||
| 215 | that I teach. Okay, so right away, you can see that we have | ||
| 216 | |||
| 217 | 55 | ||
| 218 | 00:04:35,730 ~-~-> 00:04:39,180 | ||
| 219 | had a market it is been range bound, okay, it's been | ||
| 220 | |||
| 221 | 56 | ||
| 222 | 00:04:39,180 ~-~-> 00:04:43,290 | ||
| 223 | consolidating. And when you see markets that are stuck like | ||
| 224 | |||
| 225 | 57 | ||
| 226 | 00:04:43,290 ~-~-> 00:04:48,120 | ||
| 227 | this, right away, my mind says, Okay, try not to expect the | ||
| 228 | |||
| 229 | 58 | ||
| 230 | 00:04:48,120 ~-~-> 00:04:52,020 | ||
| 231 | whole lot in terms of big moves higher or lower, and watch | ||
| 232 | |||
| 233 | 59 | ||
| 234 | 00:04:52,020 ~-~-> 00:04:55,500 | ||
| 235 | how price tends to gravitate back to the middle, okay or | ||
| 236 | |||
| 237 | 60 | ||
| 238 | 00:04:55,500 ~-~-> 00:04:59,430 | ||
| 239 | equilibrium. There may be quick surges of price movement | ||
| 240 | |||
| 241 | 61 | ||
| 242 | 00:04:59,430 ~-~-> 00:05:02,940 | ||
| 243 | higher That fizzle out quickly, and then it pulls back to | ||
| 244 | |||
| 245 | 62 | ||
| 246 | 00:05:02,940 ~-~-> 00:05:05,820 | ||
| 247 | the middle. And then there'll be moves that drop down | ||
| 248 | |||
| 249 | 63 | ||
| 250 | 00:05:05,820 ~-~-> 00:05:08,670 | ||
| 251 | quickly. It fizzles out and come straight back to the middle | ||
| 252 | |||
| 253 | 64 | ||
| 254 | 00:05:08,670 ~-~-> 00:05:13,110 | ||
| 255 | range as well. So if you look at how the market has just | ||
| 256 | |||
| 257 | 65 | ||
| 258 | 00:05:14,370 ~-~-> 00:05:18,300 | ||
| 259 | moved back and forth all week until today, Thursday, we had | ||
| 260 | |||
| 261 | 66 | ||
| 262 | 00:05:18,300 ~-~-> 00:05:21,930 | ||
| 263 | this event here, which is what I was suggesting at, we would | ||
| 264 | |||
| 265 | 67 | ||
| 266 | 00:05:21,930 ~-~-> 00:05:29,340 | ||
| 267 | run the 118 50 buyside liquidity. And if you watch the video | ||
| 268 | |||
| 269 | 68 | ||
| 270 | 00:05:29,340 ~-~-> 00:05:32,340 | ||
| 271 | I put on prior to this one, you'll actually hear me say that | ||
| 272 | |||
| 273 | 69 | ||
| 274 | 00:05:32,340 ~-~-> 00:05:36,780 | ||
| 275 | that's what we were doing. And I covered the difference | ||
| 276 | |||
| 277 | 70 | ||
| 278 | 00:05:36,780 ~-~-> 00:05:42,000 | ||
| 279 | between wycoff and into interbank price delivery algorithm. | ||
| 280 | |||
| 281 | 71 | ||
| 282 | 00:05:42,540 ~-~-> 00:05:47,070 | ||
| 283 | And when you look at price action like this, it's not hard | ||
| 284 | |||
| 285 | 72 | ||
| 286 | 00:05:47,070 ~-~-> 00:05:50,100 | ||
| 287 | to understand how it's being controlled and it's | ||
| 288 | |||
| 289 | 73 | ||
| 290 | 00:05:50,100 ~-~-> 00:05:53,130 | ||
| 291 | manipulated. So if you look at the annotations I'm going to | ||
| 292 | |||
| 293 | 74 | ||
| 294 | 00:05:53,130 ~-~-> 00:05:56,340 | ||
| 295 | put here it's really simple stuff. We're looking at Monday's | ||
| 296 | |||
| 297 | 75 | ||
| 298 | 00:05:56,340 ~-~-> 00:06:01,110 | ||
| 299 | high here, and then Wednesday's low and All the vital | ||
| 300 | |||
| 301 | 76 | ||
| 302 | 00:06:01,110 ~-~-> 00:06:03,660 | ||
| 303 | liquidity there will be resting above these levels here. | ||
| 304 | |||
| 305 | 77 | ||
| 306 | 00:06:04,140 ~-~-> 00:06:07,320 | ||
| 307 | That's what I took your attention to. I said that we would | ||
| 308 | |||
| 309 | 78 | ||
| 310 | 00:06:07,320 ~-~-> 00:06:11,370 | ||
| 311 | look for this event here. Now this was a lot more than I | ||
| 312 | |||
| 313 | 79 | ||
| 314 | 00:06:11,370 ~-~-> 00:06:15,180 | ||
| 315 | personally expected. So I didn't expect this much of a run | ||
| 316 | |||
| 317 | 80 | ||
| 318 | 00:06:15,210 ~-~-> 00:06:18,930 | ||
| 319 | up just today. I didn't expect that. So I'm not going to sit | ||
| 320 | |||
| 321 | 81 | ||
| 322 | 00:06:18,930 ~-~-> 00:06:23,070 | ||
| 323 | here and tell you Yeah, I saw this coming. I traded it. I | ||
| 324 | |||
| 325 | 82 | ||
| 326 | 00:06:23,070 ~-~-> 00:06:26,790 | ||
| 327 | didn't, I didn't have any participation in any all that. So | ||
| 328 | |||
| 329 | 83 | ||
| 330 | 00:06:26,790 ~-~-> 00:06:31,590 | ||
| 331 | I didn't see it coming. I wasn't able to capitalize on any | ||
| 332 | |||
| 333 | 84 | ||
| 334 | 00:06:31,590 ~-~-> 00:06:36,720 | ||
| 335 | of it. And the fact that we have Jackson Hole today, and if | ||
| 336 | |||
| 337 | 85 | ||
| 338 | 00:06:36,720 ~-~-> 00:06:39,660 | ||
| 339 | you don't know what that is, it's basically when all the the | ||
| 340 | |||
| 341 | 86 | ||
| 342 | 00:06:39,660 ~-~-> 00:06:44,700 | ||
| 343 | folks come together to help formulate the, the next agenda. | ||
| 344 | |||
| 345 | 87 | ||
| 346 | 00:06:45,540 ~-~-> 00:06:50,340 | ||
| 347 | I'll just say it that way. And they have a lot of influence | ||
| 348 | |||
| 349 | 88 | ||
| 350 | 00:06:50,340 ~-~-> 00:06:54,120 | ||
| 351 | in the marketplace and the things that they talk about the | ||
| 352 | |||
| 353 | 89 | ||
| 354 | 00:06:54,120 ~-~-> 00:06:57,120 | ||
| 355 | things that they're planning. Sometimes they get leaked, | ||
| 356 | |||
| 357 | 90 | ||
| 358 | 00:06:57,150 ~-~-> 00:07:00,780 | ||
| 359 | sometimes they don't and again, without trying To sound to | ||
| 360 | |||

| 375 | this here. Okay, now this is still an optimal trade entry | ||
| 376 | |||

| 385 | 97 | ||
| 386 | 00:07:30,960 ~-~-> 00:07:34,710 | ||
| 387 | beyond that quickly reversed and traded all the way back | ||
| 388 | |||
| 389 | 98 | ||
| 390 | 00:07:34,710 ~-~-> 00:07:37,020 | ||
| 391 | down and took out Wednesday's low so that was the intro | ||
| 392 | |||
| 393 | 99 | ||
| 394 | 00:07:37,020 ~-~-> 00:07:40,740 | ||
| 395 | week, the lowest low of the week. It took that out and now | ||
| 396 | |||
| 397 | 100 | ||
| 398 | 00:07:40,740 ~-~-> 00:07:44,580 | ||
| 399 | we went right back to the middle of the range. Okay, so if | ||
| 400 | |||
| 401 | 101 | ||
| 402 | 00:07:44,580 ~-~-> 00:07:49,350 | ||
| 403 | you don't know what a Seek and Destroy market profile is, | ||
| 404 | |||
| 405 | 102 | ||
| 406 | 00:07:49,560 ~-~-> 00:07:52,320 | ||
| 407 | that's what it looks like right here. This is what it looks | ||
| 408 | |||
| 409 | 103 | ||
| 410 | 00:07:52,320 ~-~-> 00:07:56,490 | ||
| 411 | like. So in your own journals and your own note taking you | ||
| 412 | |||
| 413 | 104 | ||
| 414 | 00:07:56,490 ~-~-> 00:08:01,110 | ||
| 415 | want to print this out. Not, not necessarily my chart but | ||
| 416 | |||
| 417 | 105 | ||
| 418 | 00:08:01,110 ~-~-> 00:08:04,320 | ||
| 419 | you want to do it on your own platform, and then save those | ||
| 420 | |||
| 421 | 106 | ||
| 422 | 00:08:04,320 ~-~-> 00:08:08,910 | ||
| 423 | charts and then study how prices moved back and forth, but | ||
| 424 | |||
| 425 | 107 | ||
| 426 | 00:08:08,940 ~-~-> 00:08:12,330 | ||
| 427 | generally back into consolidation. So now what does it mean? | ||
| 428 | |||
| 429 | 108 | ||
| 430 | 00:08:12,660 ~-~-> 00:08:14,970 | ||
| 431 | What do you do with this information? Well, this is why I | ||
| 432 | |||
| 433 | 109 | ||
| 434 | 00:08:14,970 ~-~-> 00:08:18,690 | ||
| 435 | sit on my hands and I try not to engage the marketplace. And | ||
| 436 | |||
| 437 | 110 | ||
| 438 | 00:08:18,690 ~-~-> 00:08:22,260 | ||
| 439 | as I mentioned on my community tab on the YouTube channel, I | ||
| 440 | |||
| 441 | 111 | ||
| 442 | 00:08:22,260 ~-~-> 00:08:25,890 | ||
| 443 | put levels on and I watch to see if they get checked. Okay, | ||
| 444 | |||
| 445 | 112 | ||
| 446 | 00:08:25,920 ~-~-> 00:08:29,730 | ||
| 447 | now when a levels checked, I want to see how it trades after | ||
| 448 | |||
| 449 | 113 | ||
| 450 | 00:08:29,730 ~-~-> 00:08:34,770 | ||
| 451 | it hits it. Obviously the 118 50 level, we breached it, and | ||
| 452 | |||
| 453 | 114 | ||
| 454 | 00:08:34,770 ~-~-> 00:08:37,200 | ||
| 455 | then quickly gave up the ghost and went right back down | ||
| 456 | |||
| 457 | 115 | ||
| 458 | 00:08:37,200 ~-~-> 00:08:41,160 | ||
| 459 | below. Wednesday's low. So this liquidity was also taken as | ||
| 460 | |||
| 461 | 116 | ||
| 462 | 00:08:41,160 ~-~-> 00:08:43,740 | ||
| 463 | well. So think about what's happened here. We've | ||
| 464 | |||
| 465 | 117 | ||
| 466 | 00:08:43,740 ~-~-> 00:08:49,560 | ||
| 467 | consolidated the entire week. Then Powell comes out, gives | ||
| 468 | |||
| 469 | 118 | ||
| 470 | 00:08:49,560 ~-~-> 00:08:50,550 | ||
| 471 | us a jawboning | ||
| 472 | |||
| 473 | 119 | ||
| 474 | 00:08:52,170 ~-~-> 00:08:57,330 | ||
| 475 | markets react with a run here and then collapses and then | ||
| 476 | |||
| 477 | 120 | ||
| 478 | 00:08:57,330 ~-~-> 00:09:00,210 | ||
| 479 | right back to the middle. So what are we left with Right | ||
| 480 | |||
| 481 | 121 | ||
| 482 | 00:09:00,210 ~-~-> 00:09:06,510 | ||
| 483 | now, uncertainty, okay, there's no clear indication, at | ||
| 484 | |||
| 485 | 122 | ||
| 486 | 00:09:06,510 ~-~-> 00:09:09,870 | ||
| 487 | least for me, okay, so I'm kind of like showing you my hand. | ||
| 488 | |||
| 489 | 123 | ||
| 490 | 00:09:10,800 ~-~-> 00:09:13,770 | ||
| 491 | And I've already elaborated on it in the community tab in my | ||
| 492 | |||
| 493 | 124 | ||
| 494 | 00:09:13,770 ~-~-> 00:09:19,500 | ||
| 495 | posts. But when you see a market environment like this, or | ||
| 496 | |||
| 497 | 125 | ||
| 498 | 00:09:19,500 ~-~-> 00:09:22,590 | ||
| 499 | at least I see it like this, I'm not in a hurry to take a | ||
| 500 | |||
| 501 | 126 | ||
| 502 | 00:09:22,590 ~-~-> 00:09:27,210 | ||
| 503 | trade, because we haven't had really any displacement. We've | ||
| 504 | |||
| 505 | 127 | ||
| 506 | 00:09:27,210 ~-~-> 00:09:30,480 | ||
| 507 | had a run on liquidity, both sides and we're back in the | ||
| 508 | |||
| 509 | 128 | ||
| 510 | 00:09:30,480 ~-~-> 00:09:35,880 | ||
| 511 | middle. There is no clear, discernible direction as of right | ||
| 512 | |||
| 513 | 129 | ||
| 514 | 00:09:35,880 ~-~-> 00:09:40,200 | ||
| 515 | now at this moment. Now, there are things that could lead to | ||
| 516 | |||
| 517 | 130 | ||
| 518 | 00:09:40,590 ~-~-> 00:09:44,010 | ||
| 519 | a directional bias unfolding over the coming days and weeks. | ||
| 520 | |||
| 521 | 131 | ||
| 522 | 00:09:44,520 ~-~-> 00:09:48,090 | ||
| 523 | But as for right now, gun to my head, I have to fold my | ||
| 524 | |||
| 525 | 132 | ||
| 526 | 00:09:48,090 ~-~-> 00:09:51,240 | ||
| 527 | hands and say there's nothing I can do here. There's nothing | ||
| 528 | |||
| 529 | 133 | ||
| 530 | 00:09:51,240 ~-~-> 00:09:54,990 | ||
| 531 | there's absolutely no, there's no trade here for me | ||
| 532 | |||
| 533 | 134 | ||
| 534 | 00:09:54,990 ~-~-> 00:09:57,360 | ||
| 535 | personally, that I would feel comfortable assuming the risk | ||
| 536 | |||
| 537 | 135 | ||
| 538 | 00:09:57,360 ~-~-> 00:10:03,810 | ||
| 539 | on so As I was building up into this discussion, we were | ||
| 540 | |||
| 541 | 136 | ||
| 542 | 00:10:04,140 ~-~-> 00:10:08,160 | ||
| 543 | looking at market profiles for a point of discussion on the | ||
| 544 | |||
| 545 | 137 | ||
| 546 | 00:10:08,160 ~-~-> 00:10:13,200 | ||
| 547 | community tab on the YouTube channel. And you can see the | ||
| 548 | |||
| 549 | 138 | ||
| 550 | 00:10:13,200 ~-~-> 00:10:18,030 | ||
| 551 | effects of it here. Okay, so again, in summary, when we see | ||
| 552 | |||
| 553 | 139 | ||
| 554 | 00:10:18,030 ~-~-> 00:10:20,790 | ||
| 555 | market environments that are consolidating, okay, now, this | ||
| 556 | |||
| 557 | 140 | ||
| 558 | 00:10:20,790 ~-~-> 00:10:23,910 | ||
| 559 | is spread out over the entire week. So this would be a, this | ||
| 560 | |||
| 561 | 141 | ||
| 562 | 00:10:23,910 ~-~-> 00:10:26,520 | ||
| 563 | will be a Seek and Destroy market profile for a weekly | ||
| 564 | |||
| 565 | 142 | ||
| 566 | 00:10:26,520 ~-~-> 00:10:35,610 | ||
| 567 | profile. And it can exist in intraday where we have market | ||
| 568 | |||
| 569 | 143 | ||
| 570 | 00:10:35,610 ~-~-> 00:10:38,430 | ||
| 571 | environments that have consolidations, and then it has a | ||
| 572 | |||
| 573 | 144 | ||
| 574 | 00:10:38,430 ~-~-> 00:10:41,340 | ||
| 575 | whipsaw effect, and it goes right back to the middle of the | ||
| 576 | |||
| 577 | 145 | ||
| 578 | 00:10:41,340 ~-~-> 00:10:45,300 | ||
| 579 | range. So we don't want to operate or engage the market. | ||
| 580 | |||
| 581 | 146 | ||
| 582 | 00:10:45,570 ~-~-> 00:10:49,920 | ||
| 583 | When it's like this. We want to wait for the large funds to | ||
| 584 | |||
| 585 | 147 | ||
| 586 | 00:10:49,920 ~-~-> 00:10:52,980 | ||
| 587 | start building in positions and allow the central bank to | ||
| 588 | |||
| 589 | 148 | ||
| 590 | 00:10:52,980 ~-~-> 00:10:56,730 | ||
| 591 | provide the liquidity for that and then these larger moves | ||
| 592 | |||
| 593 | 149 | ||
| 594 | 00:10:56,730 ~-~-> 00:10:59,970 | ||
| 595 | when they start and they become very clear in the charts. | ||
| 596 | |||
| 597 | 150 | ||
| 598 | 00:11:00,480 ~-~-> 00:11:04,140 | ||
| 599 | Then it's easy to ride the coattails. But until we get those | ||
| 600 | |||
| 601 | 151 | ||
| 602 | 00:11:04,140 ~-~-> 00:11:07,980 | ||
| 603 | very clear indications and price action, we are sitting on | ||
| 604 | |||
| 605 | 152 | ||
| 606 | 00:11:07,980 ~-~-> 00:11:11,190 | ||
| 607 | our hands. And there's absolutely no shame in that there's | ||
| 608 | |||
| 609 | 153 | ||
| 610 | 00:11:11,190 ~-~-> 00:11:15,360 | ||
| 611 | no fear of missing a move. And we're not feeling impulsive | ||
| 612 | |||
| 613 | 154 | ||
| 614 | 00:11:15,510 ~-~-> 00:11:21,210 | ||
| 615 | to chase any little minor reaction, if you will, in price, | ||
| 616 | |||
| 617 | 155 | ||
| 618 | 00:11:21,390 ~-~-> 00:11:25,590 | ||
| 619 | and we're not believing that we can forecast the next big | ||
| 620 | |||
| 621 | 156 | ||
| 622 | 00:11:25,590 ~-~-> 00:11:28,800 | ||
| 623 | price move higher or lower when it's in this environment. We | ||
| 624 | |||
| 625 | 157 | ||
| 626 | 00:11:28,800 ~-~-> 00:11:31,230 | ||
| 627 | let the professionals at the Central Bank level in the large | ||
| 628 | |||
| 629 | 158 | ||
| 630 | 00:11:31,230 ~-~-> 00:11:35,010 | ||
| 631 | funds, do their dance together. Okay, whatever the large | ||
| 632 | |||
| 633 | 159 | ||
| 634 | 00:11:35,010 ~-~-> 00:11:38,970 | ||
| 635 | funds start building in, in terms of the next position, the | ||
| 636 | |||
| 637 | 160 | ||
| 638 | 00:11:38,970 ~-~-> 00:11:41,850 | ||
| 639 | central banks will facilitate that and allow the liquidity | ||
| 640 | |||
| 641 | 161 | ||
| 642 | 00:11:42,030 ~-~-> 00:11:46,620 | ||
| 643 | for them to do so. Right now, it's not clear as to what that | ||
| 644 | |||
| 645 | 162 | ||
| 646 | 00:11:46,620 ~-~-> 00:11:50,730 | ||
| 647 | is yet. And when it starts to develop, it'll be clear it'll | ||
| 648 | |||
| 649 | 163 | ||
| 650 | 00:11:50,730 ~-~-> 00:11:54,060 | ||
| 651 | be obvious we will leave the range that was created today. | ||
| 652 | |||
| 653 | 164 | ||
| 654 | 00:11:54,840 ~-~-> 00:11:58,230 | ||
| 655 | Moving below this low or above this high in a decisive | ||
| 656 | |||
| 657 | 165 | ||
| 658 | 00:11:58,230 ~-~-> 00:12:03,330 | ||
| 659 | manner and then we can watch price for the next month, the | ||
| 660 | |||
| 661 | 166 | ||
| 662 | 00:12:03,330 ~-~-> 00:12:06,240 | ||
| 663 | three months in terms of what the next directional bias | ||
| 664 | |||
| 665 | 167 | ||
| 666 | 00:12:06,240 ~-~-> 00:12:11,340 | ||
| 667 | would be, as of right now, if you were trading euro, or | ||
| 668 | |||
| 669 | 168 | ||
| 670 | 00:12:11,340 ~-~-> 00:12:15,390 | ||
| 671 | really majority of the pairs right now, you're gambling, | ||
| 672 | |||
| 673 | 169 | ||
| 674 | 00:12:16,200 ~-~-> 00:12:18,720 | ||
| 675 | you're absolutely gambling because there's no clear | ||
| 676 | |||
| 677 | 170 | ||
| 678 | 00:12:18,720 ~-~-> 00:12:23,310 | ||
| 679 | discernible direction. For any of them at the moment, we | ||
| 680 | |||
| 681 | 171 | ||
| 682 | 00:12:23,310 ~-~-> 00:12:26,490 | ||
| 683 | could be in transition where there could be a longer term | ||
| 684 | |||
| 685 | 172 | ||
| 686 | 00:12:27,630 ~-~-> 00:12:31,890 | ||
| 687 | trend change, which I try not to forecast and try to pick | ||
| 688 | |||
| 689 | 173 | ||
| 690 | 00:12:31,890 ~-~-> 00:12:35,040 | ||
| 691 | bottoms and tops. I don't try to do that. Or we could just | ||
| 692 | |||
| 693 | 174 | ||
| 694 | 00:12:35,040 ~-~-> 00:12:39,390 | ||
| 695 | be in a long pause that continues higher for euro and lower | ||
| 696 | |||
| 697 | 175 | ||
| 698 | 00:12:39,390 ~-~-> 00:12:45,510 | ||
| 699 | for dollar. So because of that 5050 nature, I don't trade | ||
| 700 | |||
| 701 | 176 | ||
| 702 | 00:12:45,510 ~-~-> 00:12:48,840 | ||
| 703 | with 5050 gearing, I don't like to see those types of | ||
| 704 | |||
| 705 | 177 | ||
| 706 | 00:12:48,840 ~-~-> 00:12:52,080 | ||
| 707 | setups. I want to know what the bank is most likely going to | ||
| 708 | |||
| 709 | 178 | ||
| 710 | 00:12:52,080 ~-~-> 00:12:55,440 | ||
| 711 | reprice to higher or lower and if it's not one sided, then | ||
| 712 | |||
| 713 | 179 | ||
| 714 | 00:12:55,440 ~-~-> 00:12:59,370 | ||
| 715 | I'm not engaging. Now I can share my ideas and comments and | ||
| 716 | |||
| 717 | 180 | ||
| 718 | 00:12:59,430 ~-~-> 00:13:02,820 | ||
| 719 | suggest about what might take place. But that's not the same | ||
| 720 | |||
| 721 | 181 | ||
| 722 | 00:13:02,820 ~-~-> 00:13:05,610 | ||
| 723 | as putting down money in a trade and saying, I'm going to | ||
| 724 | |||
| 725 | 182 | ||
| 726 | 00:13:05,610 ~-~-> 00:13:10,560 | ||
| 727 | assume risk on that. So regardless of where you are in your | ||
| 728 | |||
| 729 | 183 | ||
| 730 | 00:13:10,980 ~-~-> 00:13:15,450 | ||
| 731 | journey, as a trader, it's important to understand topics | ||
| 732 | |||
| 733 | 184 | ||
| 734 | 00:13:15,450 ~-~-> 00:13:18,720 | ||
| 735 | like this because it gives you the confidence and the | ||
| 736 | |||
| 737 | 185 | ||
| 738 | 00:13:18,720 ~-~-> 00:13:23,010 | ||
| 739 | patience that's required to sit still, and not feel the | ||
| 740 | |||
| 741 | 186 | ||
| 742 | 00:13:23,010 ~-~-> 00:13:25,680 | ||
| 743 | impulse to go into the marketplace and trade. Because | ||
| 744 | |||
| 745 | 187 | ||
| 746 | 00:13:25,680 ~-~-> 00:13:30,660 | ||
| 747 | there's not always a time to be doing something. Okay? Many | ||
| 748 | |||
| 749 | 188 | ||
| 750 | 00:13:30,660 ~-~-> 00:13:34,230 | ||
| 751 | times you're going to be doing nothing. And knowing when not | ||
| 752 | |||
| 753 | 189 | ||
| 754 | 00:13:34,230 ~-~-> 00:13:38,160 | ||
| 755 | to do anything, is wisdom. And when you have that wisdom, | ||
| 756 | |||
| 757 | 190 | ||
| 758 | 00:13:39,570 ~-~-> 00:13:42,600 | ||
| 759 | it allows you to operate objectively in the marketplace and | ||
| 760 | |||
| 761 | 191 | ||
| 762 | 00:13:42,600 ~-~-> 00:13:46,260 | ||
| 763 | you don't feel the effects of fear and greed or fear of | ||
| 764 | |||
| 765 | 192 | ||
| 766 | 00:13:46,260 ~-~-> 00:13:49,860 | ||
| 767 | missing out on anything. And if you can conquer that, | ||
| 768 | |||
| 769 | 193 | ||
| 770 | 00:13:50,190 ~-~-> 00:13:53,520 | ||
| 771 | regardless of where you are in your development. That's one | ||
| 772 | |||
| 773 | 194 | ||
| 774 | 00:13:53,520 ~-~-> 00:13:58,080 | ||
| 775 | of the major hurdles in consistency. Because if you can | ||
| 776 | |||
| 777 | 195 | ||
| 778 | 00:13:58,080 ~-~-> 00:14:01,620 | ||
| 779 | cross that and understand why You're not looking to take a | ||
| 780 | |||
| 781 | 196 | ||
| 782 | 00:14:01,620 ~-~-> 00:14:05,130 | ||
| 783 | trade, why are you willing to sit on the sidelines and not | ||
| 784 | |||
| 785 | 197 | ||
| 786 | 00:14:05,160 ~-~-> 00:14:08,760 | ||
| 787 | even care too much about what the price is doing? Because | ||
| 788 | |||
| 789 | 198 | ||
| 790 | 00:14:08,760 ~-~-> 00:14:11,310 | ||
| 791 | eventually, there's going to be some excitement to come into | ||
| 792 | |||
| 793 | 199 | ||
| 794 | 00:14:11,310 ~-~-> 00:14:14,790 | ||
| 795 | the marketplace and be more meaningful than we see here. | ||
| 796 | |||
| 797 | 200 | ||
| 798 | 00:14:15,150 ~-~-> 00:14:19,770 | ||
| 799 | Okay. So I just want to kind of comment on it a little bit | ||
| 800 | |||
| 801 | 201 | ||
| 802 | 00:14:19,830 ~-~-> 00:14:22,860 | ||
| 803 | and bring the light a little bit more to what I was saying | ||
| 804 | |||
| 805 | 202 | ||
| 806 | 00:14:22,890 ~-~-> 00:14:26,130 | ||
| 807 | in the community tab. And hopefully now you can see with a | ||
| 808 | |||
| 809 | 203 | ||
| 810 | 00:14:26,130 ~-~-> 00:14:30,570 | ||
| 811 | chart in front of us what Seek and Destroy looks like it's a | ||
| 812 | |||
| 813 | 204 | ||
| 814 | 00:14:30,570 ~-~-> 00:14:34,230 | ||
| 815 | lot of volatility that goes right to liquidity, and then | ||
| 816 | |||
| 817 | 205 | ||
| 818 | 00:14:34,410 ~-~-> 00:14:40,890 | ||
| 819 | back to the middle. And while that is, in theory, tradable, | ||
| 820 | |||
| 821 | 206 | ||
| 822 | 00:14:42,180 ~-~-> 00:14:47,160 | ||
| 823 | it has to be done. So in a nimble fashion, and most traders | ||
| 824 | |||
| 825 | 207 | ||
| 826 | 00:14:47,430 ~-~-> 00:14:51,990 | ||
| 827 | aren't that nimble. So hopefully you got something out of | ||
| 828 | |||
| 829 | 208 | ||
| 830 | 00:14:51,990 ~-~-> 00:14:55,680 | ||
| 831 | this. I know it's not an exciting topic, but is one that is | ||
| 832 | |||
| 833 | 209 | ||
| 834 | 00:14:55,680 ~-~-> 00:14:58,830 | ||
| 835 | necessary for you to have longevity in this industry. So I'm | ||
| 836 | |||
| 837 | 210 | ||
| 838 | 00:14:58,830 ~-~-> 00:15:01,170 | ||
| 839 | Todd, talk to you next time. Good luck and good trading. |
