5 | 2 | ||
6 | 00:00:15,630 ~-~-> 00:00:20,250 | ||
7 | market environment for your dollar. In kinda like recap on | ||
8 | |||
9 | 3 | ||
10 | 00:00:20,490 ~-~-> 00:00:24,150 | ||
11 | what I mentioned in the previous recording for the YouTube | ||
12 | |||
13 | 4 | ||
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 | ||
30 | 00:00:47,430 ~-~-> 00:00:55,470 | ||
31 | 27 2020. The economic calendar came with, obviously the Fed | ||
32 | |||
33 | 9 | ||
34 | 00:00:55,470 ~-~-> 00:01:02,250 | ||
35 | Chairman Powell speaking in New York session His comments | ||
36 | |||
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 | |||

378 | 00:07:18,330 ~-~-> 00:07:25,980 | ||
379 | here and a run above the 1850 level that I hinted at that | ||

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 | ||
