133 |1 |00:01:31 ~-~-> 00:01:43 |ICT: It is a good morning. So you know the drill, I'm checking Twitter right now if you guys could give me a five by five, everything's clear on the chart. And
134 |2 |00:01:43 ~-~-> 00:01:51 |the audio is good volume good. Doing a latency test as well to give me a feel for how much time it takes to get to you.
135 |3 |00:02:10 ~-~-> 00:02:29 |Thank you folks appreciate that. Alright, so let's get this circuit started. So we have the dollar index chart up here. One second, I got my headphones on, I
136 |4 |00:02:31 ~-~-> 00:02:48 |don't want them my mom talking. So I did two live streams on Wednesday, two days ago, and I did the morning session review, and what I felt was likely to be
137 |5 |00:02:48 ~-~-> 00:02:57 |impactful. And then you saw it come to pass. And then I did a review on Wednesday afternoon, giving you a review of what took place and then what I felt
138 |6 |00:02:57 ~-~-> 00:03:08 |would be likely for Thursday's trading everything descript. So without stealing the thunder from those two live streams on Wednesday, I'll counsel you to go
139 |7 |00:03:08 ~-~-> 00:03:21 |check those out. I add them to the 2023 ICT mentorship playlist on my YouTube channel. Today, we're just gonna go briefly through but reminding you that there
140 |8 |00:03:21 ~-~-> 00:03:36 |is two economic drivers that are coming out at 830. So in about 19 and a half minutes, we will see the PCE Price Index, core PCE Price Index rally, and then
141 |9 |00:03:36 ~-~-> 00:03:46 |at 10am, the revised consumer sentiment number. Okay, so we'll probably see some volatility around the 10 o'clock hour. So you'll probably get a pretty good
142 |10 |00:03:46 ~-~-> 00:03:58 |Silver Bullet set up during the 10 o'clock to 11 o'clock hour. I will not be trading again today. We're planning to do some things this weekend. So it
143 |11 |00:03:58 ~-~-> 00:04:08 |requires us to do some shopping and making things ready right now. So with all that said, let's get into this. The dollar index is our daily chart. And as I
144 |12 |00:04:08 ~-~-> 00:04:26 |mentioned on Wednesday, we would likely see it trade back into the range that it's created. And here is Wednesday's trading. Retracing and here's today's
145 |13 |00:04:26 ~-~-> 00:04:42 |trading now, if you take note we have this delivery and price all through here. And if you look at this little bit closer I promise not to keep too long. On
146 |14 |00:04:42 ~-~-> 00:04:51 |Wednesday, I was a little more lengthier than I wanted it to be
147 |15 |00:04:58 ~-~-> 00:05:10 |okay, so I Oh, this area in here watch us intraday today, especially around the 830 and 10 o'clock hour when the news event comes because this inefficiency is
148 |16 |00:05:10 ~-~-> 00:05:21 |the only one on the daily chart. So we have all of this, we're on here, no inefficiencies until we get down to here. We're right at this one now. Okay. So
149 |17 |00:05:21 ~-~-> 00:05:33 |we did in fact, see the retracement, we got down below an old high, which was the target months ago. So we got through that. I'm not convinced that we have
150 |18 |00:05:33 ~-~-> 00:05:42 |ignored this or have abandoned the idea of trading back in that range. You know, again, counted if you look at the live stream, so on Wednesday, telling you what
151 |19 |00:05:42 ~-~-> 00:05:52 |this is and why it's important to me. Not that it should be important to you, but just you know, observe, watch what you get. We have a volume imbalance here
152 |20 |00:05:53 ~-~-> 00:06:06 |inside of a Faraday gap. So you want to study that also. And you'll see that that's where we basically trade to, and it coupled with the last up close
153 |21 |00:06:06 ~-~-> 00:06:17 |candle. So this is a bearish order block with a fair Vega and a volume imbalance. That's three pdra. Stan, do you see the reaction here on dollar we
154 |22 |00:06:17 ~-~-> 00:06:27 |opened traded up, made the high this session back down into a discount range. Pardon me, seasonal allergies, folks. And that's another reason why we're gonna
155 |23 |00:06:27 ~-~-> 00:06:36 |try to get through as quickly because I know my voice is gonna be lost eventually got kicked off. Haters, like lose your voice. So we have this wick as
156 |24 |00:06:36 ~-~-> 00:06:49 |well as a discount range. Objective on the downside. So we'll be looking at this range here. The here you can see the consequent corrosion is tagged there. Okay,
157 |25 |00:06:49 ~-~-> 00:06:59 |so anything below this consequent encouragement on a closing basis on the daily chart means that we probably have to come back a little bit deeper than I'd like
158 |26 |00:06:59 ~-~-> 00:07:07 |to see it, which means we could see it go into this area here. I'm not suggesting that's the case today. I don't think you should be trading today. I
159 |27 |00:07:07 ~-~-> 00:07:16 |think you should be content with what you basically taken out the marketplaces this week. We've had a really good analysis, we've had a really good price run
160 |28 |00:07:17 ~-~-> 00:07:25 |over the last few weeks. And it's Friday. If you have profits on the week, the worst thing you could possibly do is offer them up on the altar to have them
161 |29 |00:07:25 ~-~-> 00:07:43 |taken away. So you can go on the weekend, sulking in regretting the fact you did it. Moving on over into the euro, getting a lot of feedback in the comment
162 |30 |00:07:43 ~-~-> 00:07:53 |section because I'm back to talking about forex. I'm going to talk about forex when it's salient. When it's not, I won't. Okay, so don't get your hopes up on
163 |31 |00:07:53 ~-~-> 00:08:06 |it being a steady diet of it. But when it's important enough for me to mention, I will. Alright, so we mentioned on Wednesday, we would likely see more prior to
164 |32 |00:08:06 ~-~-> 00:08:18 |Wednesday, we were looking forward to trade below these lows in here. We did get that on Wednesday, and I said it's prime time for it to either consolidate and
165 |33 |00:08:18 ~-~-> 00:08:30 |or retrace, we've done a lot on the downside we traded into sell side liquidity, Thursday can tend to make what the opposite end of the weekly range, especially
166 |34 |00:08:30 ~-~-> 00:08:45 |if we've met long term higher timeframe or intermediate term targets, meaning it's dropped a lot from here, all the way down through this low that low in this
167 |35 |00:08:45 ~-~-> 00:08:57 |low here. So the sell side liquidity the low there is Now I wouldn't say purged. It's been engaged and not convinced that we're not going to go a little bit
168 |36 |00:08:57 ~-~-> 00:09:12 |lower, I still think that this low here will be eventually traded to longer story is I'm still bullish on dollar. I don't believe we've reversed I don't
169 |37 |00:09:12 ~-~-> 00:09:23 |think that's the top I'm welcoming, being proven wrong, that's fine, because in the lower lower timeframes. I'm pretty accurate in that vote on a higher time
170 |38 |00:09:23 ~-~-> 00:09:35 |frames on the long term reversals, I allow for the market to give me a lot information before I change my convictions about it. So I'm willing to submit to
171 |39 |00:09:35 ~-~-> 00:09:48 |being wrong more on the daily charts at higher timeframe reversals, which is why I try to avoid picking bottoms in bear markets, or tops in bull markets. It
172 |40 |00:09:48 ~-~-> 00:09:55 |sounds cliche, you hear everybody say don't try to do this. Don't try to do that. But yet everybody writes books and courses about how you should do it. Or
173 |41 |00:09:55 ~-~-> 00:10:06 |some kind of pattern. But on Wednesday We talked about the likelihood of a retracement. And you can see we did in fact, have that on Thursday. And then the
174 |42 |00:10:06 ~-~-> 00:10:13 |follow through today. If you look real close, there's a small little inefficiency right in there. So I want to zoom in and take your attention to the
175 |43 |00:10:13 ~-~-> 00:10:26 |levels that I think are selling it for today. This wick is lower than that one or tail because it's below the candlesticks body. So you want to have this noted
176 |44 |00:10:26 ~-~-> 00:10:36 |here on your Eurodollar. So 1.0638 and was at three pivots. So you want to have that noted there, I'm not going to leave it on my chart, I just want to show you
177 |45 |00:10:36 ~-~-> 00:10:47 |that that it could with the news, it could jump up in there. If it trades above that. These relative equal highs right here. That's the draw. Okay, that'll be
178 |46 |00:10:47 ~-~-> 00:10:56 |the drawl throughout the day or into next week. Still not changing or upsetting the applecart for lower prices in my mind, because I think the dollar still
179 |47 |00:11:03 ~-~-> 00:11:10 |this small little inefficiency is what we've traded into. And when you have your chart
180 |48 |00:11:15 ~-~-> 00:11:27 |allowing for observational things, things like this, it's a little bit easier to see it. Okay, so that's what we trade up into. Look at your london session,
181 |49 |00:11:28 ~-~-> 00:11:39 |study that break that down, look for silver bullets, look for stock hunts, then displacement, and then a 32nd, fair value gap. Those types of things are all
182 |50 |00:11:39 ~-~-> 00:11:47 |throughout this morning, trading up into this inefficiency. Now again, if you're a first time viewer in this, it's the first time you watch this video, if it's
183 |51 |00:11:47 ~-~-> 00:11:54 |past the time, I'm live streaming right now, or if you're watching the live stream live with us. And you're seeing me talk about these things and think
184 |52 |00:11:54 ~-~-> 00:12:02 |Manju is sorry, happen, go back and watch the live stream on Wednesday. Okay, I gave you very specific things that I wanted to see that day. And then what I
185 |53 |00:12:02 ~-~-> 00:12:10 |want to see on Thursday is trading we would be going higher, it's reasonable to see a trade higher. So it's unreal. It's it's unreasonable for someone to come
186 |54 |00:12:10 ~-~-> 00:12:17 |in and say well, you know, this is useless information because it's after the fact when I've many times before the fact point things out, whether it be on
187 |55 |00:12:17 ~-~-> 00:12:25 |Twitter, calling out labels calling out what it should reach for and I'll give you the context as to why I believe so when I'm doing the analysis or, or
188 |56 |00:12:25 ~-~-> 00:12:33 |commentary over the charts. So it kind of just gives you like a comprehensive experience as not just say here's where I think it's going to go because I'm not
189 |57 |00:12:33 ~-~-> 00:12:39 |trying to provide signals and trying to teach you a mindset so that we can use the concepts of freely taught on this YouTube channel. So that way you can go
190 |58 |00:12:39 ~-~-> 00:12:49 |out and find your own model your own setup and be consistent with it not require hand holding by me or anyone else which should be the target goal for every
191 |59 |00:12:49 ~-~-> 00:12:58 |trader independent mindset. Alright, so like I said, we've been bearish through this whole thing. It's been really nice to be able to see that happen yesterday.
192 |60 |00:12:59 ~-~-> 00:13:11 |Delivered like gangbusters, looking for retracement higher. Real quick on cable. That was the wife yelling at one of my boxers if you heard her if I'm not sure
193 |61 |00:13:11 ~-~-> 00:13:20 |if you heard or not, but she was pretty loud. They're howling. Alright, so here we have, I mean go up to weekly charts is not going to make any sense to you. If
194 |62 |00:13:20 ~-~-> 00:13:33 |you haven't saw those streams on Wednesday, this inefficiency here on the weekly chart which is the week of March 13 2023. That's the battleground sauce on
195 |63 |00:13:33 ~-~-> 00:13:45 |efficiency hurray get and trip down to that I mentioned on Wednesday on the see a tree down below that inefficiency. And we got one little tiny WhatsApp pit bat
196 |64 |00:13:45 ~-~-> 00:14:00 |or something below it. What's the higher this candle right here on 10th. Hi comes in at 2113 and seven PubMed. So 13 Seven, in the low of this candle comes
197 |65 |00:14:00 ~-~-> 00:14:18 |in at 11 Oh, I'm sorry. So just a little bit below, but just as a candlestick tale, not the body. And the bodies are basically around consequent
198 |66 |00:14:18 ~-~-> 00:14:31 |encouragement, which is the midpoint of any fair value gap or inefficiency. In Thursday, you see us trade higher and then follow through today. This wick
199 |67 |00:14:31 ~-~-> 00:14:42 |consequent encroachment halfway point reading there. We try to read up into it. The inefficiency just above this old low. I'm not a Support Resistance traders
200 |68 |00:14:42 ~-~-> 00:14:51 |much as anybody would like to say that I am because they're trying to sell something that nobody wants to buy. This inefficiency right here is just inside
201 |69 |00:14:51 ~-~-> 00:15:01 |a run back up into that low so you can get up in there. I mentioned this on Wednesday, and this shaded area here is not a mistake. least for a gap box or
202 |70 |00:15:01 ~-~-> 00:15:08 |something to that effect, I'm actually referring to something on the weekly chart and I want to see this portion. And so you're gonna go crazy because I'm
203 |71 |00:15:08 ~-~-> 00:15:22 |not talking about this diversity watched. It's the upper portion of this inefficiency between these candles love and that candles high this previous
204 |72 |00:15:22 ~-~-> 00:15:37 |candle here a week, that one big perming. But one big candle moving lower one directionally, that range between these two candles, you bracketing it, I want
205 |73 |00:15:37 ~-~-> 00:15:45 |to see this portion of that range. They unfilled notes, I don't want to see any price come all the way back up to this candles low here. I don't want to see
206 |74 |00:15:45 ~-~-> 00:15:56 |that. Because as long as that stays true, I believe that we're going lower on POUND DOLLAR. Can it go up here and reprice to that an investor go lower? Yeah,
207 |75 |00:15:56 ~-~-> 00:16:07 |but the probabilities shift much further away from likelihood versus more consolidation and maybe even a deeper retracement into this one. Which is why I
208 |76 |00:16:07 ~-~-> 00:16:18 |like to see this late open in this upper half. Okay, so we understand the context of why that boxes on the daily chart now right here. So, same drill, you
209 |77 |00:16:18 ~-~-> 00:16:30 |want to look at what London did last night for today. And then what we what we traded in did yesterday on cable, using silver bullets at the London session,
210 |78 |00:16:30 ~-~-> 00:16:45 |New York session am and in how we had price drop into this consequent portrait of this wick here. So that's that's a nice good study to do over the weekend, if
211 |79 |00:16:45 ~-~-> 00:16:54 |you don't have time to do it right now, because you may be at school work or about to go to bed and moving over into ETS. Before I do that, Cisco let's get
212 |80 |00:16:54 ~-~-> 00:17:14 |gold out of the way real quick. I keep forgetting that extra year. Alright, so the order block starts here at this candle here. On the daily charts, at least
213 |81 |00:17:14 ~-~-> 00:17:25 |two consecutive down close candles makes the bullish or block before this displacement to the upside. There is an inefficiency in here. So we talked about
214 |82 |00:17:25 ~-~-> 00:17:40 |how this gap from this candlesticks low in this candlesticks high, which isn't drawn correctly isn't just weird. But the the sell side below that in an
215 |83 |00:17:40 ~-~-> 00:17:49 |inefficiency here. I want to see a trade to the completion of this. And if he got overzealous I mentioned on Wednesday that we can get down here and touch the
216 |84 |00:17:49 ~-~-> 00:18:12 |order block. We traded really close to but we did touch the high of it. Right there. So the high that candle 1800 58.36. So 58.36, the low 57.73. That's
217 |85 |00:18:12 ~-~-> 00:18:20 |pretty close. For gold. You know, gold is one of those like a market I mentioned many times before and every time I talk about it, it's a fickle market. I mean,
218 |86 |00:18:20 ~-~-> 00:18:26 |it's event driven, it's going to mess around with you a lot. It's highly manipulated. Can you find setups in it? Yes. Do I have students that traded
219 |87 |00:18:26 ~-~-> 00:18:39 |predominantly only solely? Yes. Do I trade it, I don't like to. I just don't like to do it. But that so that also delivered handsomely on the analysis from
220 |88 |00:18:39 ~-~-> 00:18:51 |Wednesday. In case I haven't made it clear, as I'm going through these, I'm not suggesting any of these have reversed. I'm just saying that. Everything that's
221 |89 |00:18:51 ~-~-> 00:19:01 |in motion that I've talked about on a higher timeframe, I'm sticking with that idea. And again, avoiding trying to pick like the low on this. If the dollar
222 |90 |00:19:01 ~-~-> 00:19:09 |does in fact resume going higher, like say resumes next week, or towards the latter part of next week. So something might happen on the fourth or something
223 |91 |00:19:09 ~-~-> 00:19:23 |to that effect. And should that be the case and dollar starts going higher. Just look down here because right over here is where I'm liking the idea of gold
224 |92 |00:19:23 ~-~-> 00:19:34 |reaching for that. Okay, so right below there is where I like to see intermediate term target for gold is down there. Everything that I talked about
225 |93 |00:19:34 ~-~-> 00:19:43 |for those respective markets, I told you on the Wednesday, live streams, what would change my mind about it? So if you're wanting to know what would make me
226 |94 |00:19:43 ~-~-> 00:19:56 |abandon these ideas, I covered that, you know, respectively throughout the individual marks that I talked about. And yes, now we'll look at that. Oh, real
227 |95 |00:19:56 ~-~-> 00:20:13 |quick. Probably didn't do it. I mentioned I wanted to see Ozzy kind of like, upset its lows. And it did. So went down, took those sellside right there and
228 |96 |00:20:13 ~-~-> 00:20:21 |then look at the reaction there. So there's buyside resting right above here. So if you're intraday scalper and you want to use the news this morning, there's a
229 |97 |00:20:21 ~-~-> 00:20:36 |couple things in here and you might want to look at, and this here. overzealous price takes us up in that easy low hanging fruit. Dollar moves lower
230 |98 |00:20:36 ~-~-> 00:20:47 |continuously on the news at 830. And or 10, we could see 6525 We'll call it that as a run for buyside. It's not a lot in terms of pips between where we're at
231 |99 |00:20:47 ~-~-> 00:20:55 |here, but it's certainly something that you can trade with a demo account or tape read or study. You know, I might be wrong. You know, it might be one of
232 |100 |00:20:55 ~-~-> 00:21:03 |those instances where you can say, ICT said this is going to happen, and it didn't happen. You can go around on social media and cheerleader. Let's go over
233 |101 |00:21:03 ~-~-> 00:21:03 |that. Yes.
234 |102 |00:21:07 ~-~-> 00:21:18 |Alright, so here is the E Mini s&p December contract. And I want to try to quickly get through this because I do want to watch the 830 News reaction on
235 |103 |00:21:18 ~-~-> 00:21:33 |NASDAQ es with your life, but I'll close it around 845. The live stream that is alright, so I mentioned how, again, how we could come back up retrace. I'd like
236 |104 |00:21:33 ~-~-> 00:21:42 |to see these not taken. Like I don't want to see these two highs swept because I liked the fact that we came up great to consequent pressure on this wick. So
237 |105 |00:21:42 ~-~-> 00:21:53 |half of that wick went right there. And then we had a turn, which is classic price delivery. We went over in overshot this inefficiency. And we trade it down
238 |106 |00:21:53 ~-~-> 00:22:05 |in the order block here. And I'll add debt levels you can see there dug into that, and into this inefficiency here once more. And I I want to see it get down
239 |107 |00:22:05 ~-~-> 00:22:16 |below here. But as I mentioned on Wednesday, this is a balanced price range most like it was with the NASDAQ as well. A balanced price range takes a lot of
240 |108 |00:22:16 ~-~-> 00:22:28 |energy to get through. And while the prices are always delivered algorithmically or by means of manual intervention, where the central bank will step in or the
241 |109 |00:22:28 ~-~-> 00:22:38 |the hand, if you will, quote unquote, the market makers, not the ones that you hear named, okay, or have a title given to them at some kind of trading firm or
242 |110 |00:22:38 ~-~-> 00:22:44 |whatever. They're not market makers, they're dealers and they're dealing in a price feed that they don't make. So that doesn't make them a market maker, it
243 |111 |00:22:44 ~-~-> 00:22:53 |makes them a dealer, so they're always misnamed. Were the folks that actually originate price and deliver price that's the central banks that comes from them.
244 |112 |00:22:53 ~-~-> 00:23:06 |That's the top tier, that's the beginning. That's the origin. When we see how price delivers to these objectives, when it's met with a, an area like this back
245 |113 |00:23:06 ~-~-> 00:23:14 |and forth, this is a balanced price range. So it's going to take a much more meaningful price run to get through this many times they won't do it on one
246 |114 |00:23:14 ~-~-> 00:23:23 |single pass. So you have to allow for it to go down a little bit, come back up, go down a little bit deeper into it come back up a little bit deeper into it. So
247 |115 |00:23:24 ~-~-> 00:23:32 |it's it's not always that way. But as a general rule of thumb, I'm getting comments in the YouTube comments asking you know, how do you know when to read
248 |116 |00:23:32 ~-~-> 00:23:40 |the bounce price range is going to break How do you trade them you know, what's the insights that we can give to provide some more support around that just know
249 |117 |00:23:40 ~-~-> 00:23:50 |that it's an it's not a low resistance liquidity run to trade through a balanced price range. It is a low resistance run to trade to a balanced price range when
250 |118 |00:23:50 ~-~-> 00:23:59 |you're above it and we're trading down. So since we hit it we hit all of our objectives on s&p and more it's reasonable to expect thursday friday retracement
251 |119 |00:23:59 ~-~-> 00:24:09 |okay but not call the bottom in the marketplace that's that's really important to them making sure you understand that part of it. And let's see we'll jump
252 |120 |00:24:09 ~-~-> 00:24:23 |down into a hourly chart real quick. I mentioned how we would go into upset these highs and here we've dug into that we have a smaller inefficiency rate
253 |121 |00:24:23 ~-~-> 00:24:35 |there between this candles low and his candles high. You got to start moving your charts around so you can see him better. So you keep your charts so
254 |122 |00:24:35 ~-~-> 00:24:45 |squinched or you only so show so many candlesticks. It's like you're missing a lot of the details in the price comes down into that on Thursday with the
255 |123 |00:24:45 ~-~-> 00:24:54 |expectation of expectation of what what I was outlining on Thursday is that we would see price retrace and move higher seeking what buyside why? Because
256 |124 |00:24:54 ~-~-> 00:25:00 |they're going to set traps for traders that think that this is going down now because they've had all these days behind them where it's gone. down. So now
257 |125 |00:25:00 ~-~-> 00:25:11 |they finally get into the mindset that okay, it's gonna go lower. And I was taking your attention to the buy side. And there's a small little clean area in
258 |126 |00:25:11 ~-~-> 00:25:29 |here. You might want to look at that this morning. And overzealous delivery will take us up into right? Okay, so there's two things you could see price reach for
259 |127 |00:25:29 ~-~-> 00:25:41 |for this morning 830 News and or 10 o'clock, so it can reach the 4367. If you can look at something, we're lower timeframes. The tape read debt study, it was
260 |128 |00:25:41 ~-~-> 00:25:59 |not something you can look at for today. And let's go back to the daily chart and go to MQ. Okay, and this one here was the strongest between the two indices
261 |129 |00:26:00 ~-~-> 00:26:09 |on the upside, so it's not surprising to see it be the laggard going lower. So while it did take out our relative equal lows, which we've been aiming for in
262 |130 |00:26:09 ~-~-> 00:26:16 |this quarterly shift objective, which is this bison unbalanced outside efficiency, we want to see it trade into this big up close candle. We got down
263 |131 |00:26:16 ~-~-> 00:26:26 |to it here on Wednesday. And as I mentioned, I said it could retrace, right above these relative equal highs, go back and watch the video folks, the live
264 |132 |00:26:26 ~-~-> 00:26:40 |streams, but it could trade up into here. And again, I'm not trying to convey the idea that I believe that the law is in place. I don't suspect that it's like
265 |133 |00:26:40 ~-~-> 00:26:51 |that at all. I think that, you know, we've dropped a lot. There is an inefficiency here. There is a wick here that people like to see things like
266 |134 |00:26:51 ~-~-> 00:27:01 |this, they think that's a doji it's bearish. They're gonna put stops above that. It's perfectly reasonable, it's perfectly acceptable, it's common practice for
267 |135 |00:27:01 ~-~-> 00:27:11 |the market to want to go back up, take a pool of liquidity out on the daily chart, that would be opposing the longer term or intermediate term targets,
268 |136 |00:27:11 ~-~-> 00:27:21 |which in this case, I'm leading to you that we could still still go lower. And I'm willing to allow the market to tell me I'm wrong on the daily chart, which
269 |137 |00:27:21 ~-~-> 00:27:30 |is fine. I don't care. I'm not going to trade the day. I didn't trade yesterday. So I'm waiting for more information. Why? Why didn't you trade, because all of
270 |138 |00:27:30 ~-~-> 00:27:38 |my targets were met, all of them were met, I'm content, I'm happy. I don't need to tell you anything more, because it happened in another day that I wasn't
271 |139 |00:27:38 ~-~-> 00:27:45 |gonna trade, which was yesterday, I told you what to expect. And it's happened in your charts. So that's one of the things you want to get real comfortable
272 |140 |00:27:45 ~-~-> 00:27:56 |with also, is being content with enough. So if you have an idea, here's a very much like I was outlining the s&p before we traded here, real quick. The
273 |141 |00:27:56 ~-~-> 00:28:09 |inefficiency on the daily chart is up there by side because there's that can be a little bit accelerated and animated much more than s&p 1500 15,000. And here's
274 |142 |00:28:09 ~-~-> 00:28:16 |the 30 news. So 15,028 to the inefficiency up here.
275 |143 |00:28:23 ~-~-> 00:28:26 |Small little gap here we dropped down into that ahead of 830.
276 |144 |00:28:32 ~-~-> 00:28:40 |A scenario I would expect but I'm not trying to sell you on the idea to risk money or trade your combine are trying to pass a challenge on this. But let's
277 |145 |00:28:40 ~-~-> 00:28:49 |play devil's advocate for a moment and say ICT was making the market for today, I would use the numbers that just came out now. Send us up into take out the buy
278 |146 |00:28:49 ~-~-> 00:29:00 |side above 15,028. Maybe trade up into here and then consumer sentiment number, then send us back lower, not to close on the low of the day, that type of thing.
279 |147 |00:29:00 ~-~-> 00:29:09 |But to run against all the movement from today's price action, at least 50% of the daily range. If it gets up to here, I would do that very thing at 10 o'clock
280 |148 |00:29:09 ~-~-> 00:29:18 |on the news release there. So there's just ideas for you to study. Look at price action through that lens doesn't mean I'm going to be right. It doesn't mean
281 |149 |00:29:18 ~-~-> 00:29:23 |that you should be trading with real money, but I'm just giving you something to study going forward because I don't have anything I'm going to put money on
282 |150 |00:29:23 ~-~-> 00:29:35 |today. I don't have anything that I think that you should risk money on because it's Friday. You know, it's it's a very good practice to end. A good run with
283 |151 |00:29:35 ~-~-> 00:29:44 |analysis real trades, whether it's in your funded account challenge, whether it be in your funded account, whether it be in your Live account, demo paper
284 |152 |00:29:44 ~-~-> 00:29:54 |trading tape reading, if you had a good run like we've had for the last month really sit still just relax has settled down. And October is a really good
285 |153 |00:29:54 ~-~-> 00:30:04 |month. Price Action and delivery for October in the first half of November. Are are just one of the sweetest times in price action. And we've had a lot of
286 |154 |00:30:04 ~-~-> 00:30:12 |things move in our favor. So it's really important for you just to settle down and let the new opportunities present themselves don't be in a rush to get into
287 |155 |00:30:12 ~-~-> 00:30:19 |what's next. Okay, this was great. I need another hit this this high is wearing off my sugar highs are wearing off, give me something else that you get all
288 |156 |00:30:19 ~-~-> 00:30:36 |hyped up on ICT. So a neophyte a gambler, a new trader always is excited about what's the next thing a professional is minded, minding, rather their business
289 |157 |00:30:37 ~-~-> 00:30:48 |and also studying what they just did? Did they do all things correctly, that they follow their processes that they follow their model? Are they feeling
290 |158 |00:30:48 ~-~-> 00:30:57 |impulsive? Are they trying to chase a new high, a new equity high, a new emotional high, a new psychological barrier to be breached, so that way you can
291 |159 |00:30:57 ~-~-> 00:31:09 |feel like a champion. Professionally minded traders don't think that way. neophytes Instagram traders, you know that type of people, they are experience
292 |160 |00:31:09 ~-~-> 00:31:19 |driven, for the sake of the experience versus the sake of following the model and being sober minded in their decision making. It's a stark contrast between
293 |161 |00:31:19 ~-~-> 00:31:29 |the two. And if you feel impulsive, if you feel excited about taking a new trade or find it in a new setup, your mindset is not in its right place. It needs the
294 |162 |00:31:29 ~-~-> 00:31:37 |boring, it needs to be absolutely boring. And once you do all the right things all week long in the markets closed and you can't push the button and do
295 |163 |00:31:37 ~-~-> 00:31:46 |something reckless or lose money or trade outside your model on the weekends, then you celebrate, then you allow the emotions to come in, because they can't
296 |164 |00:31:46 ~-~-> 00:31:54 |influence you in a market trade. I'm not saying that you shouldn't celebrate that you shouldn't peacock around, you know, celebrate with your friends and
297 |165 |00:31:54 ~-~-> 00:32:04 |family or social media, you know, family, but do that in a area where you can't feel good or hear something that would be highly critical. And then you want to
298 |166 |00:32:04 ~-~-> 00:32:13 |go out there and give yourself a feel good moment by doing something by pushing a button that has nothing to do with your model. Okay, so that's the only reason
299 |167 |00:32:13 ~-~-> 00:32:23 |why I'm coaching you to do this. And I'm certain that on Twitter, somebody later today, he's gonna say ICT said don't trade and look at what I did today. That's
300 |168 |00:32:23 ~-~-> 00:32:31 |a weak minded person, that's somebody that absolutely probably just did something cherry picked. And or doesn't have consistent profitability. And they
301 |169 |00:32:31 ~-~-> 00:32:42 |just want to feel good about themselves and tell somebody else in a position that's acting as a teacher as a mentor. Something contrarian because they don't
302 |170 |00:32:42 ~-~-> 00:32:51 |want to listen to sound logic either. And the reward that rebellion, or that rebellious mindset, they'll do something that they didn't really, really miss
303 |171 |00:32:51 ~-~-> 00:32:59 |risk money on. But then they'll take that and they'll toss it in the ring and say, but look at this, this like folks will say, I teach don't trade on Mondays,
304 |172 |00:33:00 ~-~-> 00:33:07 |or don't trade on Fridays. That's not true. There are many times I'm telling you to trade on Mondays, when there's a time when you can trade on Mondays on
305 |173 |00:33:07 ~-~-> 00:33:18 |nonfarm payroll, that week of trading. That's a definite Monday trading day. But apart from that, the only other time is if there's an FOMC announcement, right
306 |174 |00:33:18 ~-~-> 00:33:24 |announcement, that type of thing later in the week, usually on Wednesday, or Thursday. That's a definite treat on Monday. That's a definite Absolutely, I'm
307 |175 |00:33:24 ~-~-> 00:33:30 |going in there and I'm pushing a button, I'm trying to make real money. That's the way it is. That's what my students understand. But when you take one thing
308 |176 |00:33:30 ~-~-> 00:33:39 |that maybe a soundbite or clip or something I've taken and put into a tweet, and you can completely add a context, it's easy for these individuals to run around
309 |177 |00:33:39 ~-~-> 00:33:47 |with these false narratives. And say, I said this, or I said that or this is what I believe about the market or but you shouldn't or shouldn't do this. So
310 |178 |00:33:47 ~-~-> 00:33:56 |that's what being mentored is. properly done, you get to spend time with that person that's teaching. You just can't watch one video or read a few tweets or
311 |179 |00:33:56 ~-~-> 00:34:05 |an opinion or opinions of people out there that are failed traders, and nobody really cares about their opinion. But they want to stir up drama. For the for
312 |180 |00:34:05 ~-~-> 00:34:14 |the argumentative side that would be opposing. What is it on teaching or anybody else's stuff for that matter. That's why trolls exist trolls exist because they
313 |181 |00:34:14 ~-~-> 00:34:24 |suck. They're not able to do anything themselves. And they want to detract so that makes them significant. So in these periods after we've had a really good
314 |182 |00:34:24 ~-~-> 00:34:37 |run, you want to sit and and really forge this confidence that it will provide you if you allow it by not chasing the next opportunity, because it might not be
315 |183 |00:34:37 ~-~-> 00:34:48 |there today. It might not. It could be it could be a huge run and be completely against what I'm suggesting that might be a good study here. It may not even go
316 |184 |00:34:48 ~-~-> 00:35:02 |up to 15,000 at all. You might just you know I'm sorry 15,020 at all. Yeah, this is could have already made the high here the 30 News spin in 1030, we run lower
317 |185 |00:35:02 ~-~-> 00:35:17 |and go for the sell side down here or here. And there it is. Okay, how am I going to lose any money on that? I'm not. How am I going to lose face and clout
318 |186 |00:35:17 ~-~-> 00:35:25 |as an educator that happened, and that because I told you, I'm not trading. Now I'm telling you why I'm not trading. Because I'm content, my analysis has been
319 |187 |00:35:25 ~-~-> 00:35:35 |bang on, like it's been straight right to the point, getting right to the targets. And it's been behaving like that. And you, as a developing student need
320 |188 |00:35:35 ~-~-> 00:35:45 |to sit in, look at the charts and think about what we have anticipated before the fact and how it delivered. That is confidence building is not meant to be
321 |189 |00:35:45 ~-~-> 00:35:53 |arrogant, it's not meant for you to go on to other people's live streams, or YouTube comment sections or their Twitter and tell them they are trading
322 |190 |00:35:53 ~-~-> 00:36:04 |something less than superior. Because you're trading with this information, that stuff needs to stop. Because it's that it's the same thing that I was just
323 |191 |00:36:04 ~-~-> 00:36:12 |talking about, you're trying to create significance in yourself on the wrong pretense, like you're you're you're trying to use this new skill sets that
324 |192 |00:36:12 ~-~-> 00:36:18 |you're requiring, and you're trying to treat it like a sharp stick. So you can go around and poke everybody with it. Nobody, nobody cares, especially if
325 |193 |00:36:18 ~-~-> 00:36:26 |they're making money. They don't care what you're trading. And if it works or not, they don't care. Because if someone's making money, they have a model. And
326 |194 |00:36:26 ~-~-> 00:36:34 |if they're wise, they won't try to change it, and nothing's going to make them want to do anything to change their model. That's a professionally minded
327 |195 |00:36:34 ~-~-> 00:36:45 |trader. That's what I'm trying to secure in your thought process. So once you get a model, and you make it as simple as possible, you're not trying to bring
328 |196 |00:36:45 ~-~-> 00:36:52 |all the moving parts that I offer in terms of teaching, you make it a very simple approach to trading. You know, when you're looking for it, what time of
329 |197 |00:36:52 ~-~-> 00:37:00 |the day you're trading it, what instrument you're going to trade, what market, what timeframe. And you're just going to mind your own business, and work in
330 |198 |00:37:00 ~-~-> 00:37:08 |that little small, little area. And when you get a setup, you're all over it. If you have a setup and you lose no problem, it doesn't mean the models broken
331 |199 |00:37:08 ~-~-> 00:37:14 |doesn't mean you'd go out there and get somebody to pat you on the back and say, Don't worry, honey, it's going to be okay. That that's not necessary with a
332 |200 |00:37:14 ~-~-> 00:37:20 |professionally minded trader, they accept the fact that there's going to be losing trade stakes, they accept the fact that as the mechanic, the person
333 |201 |00:37:20 ~-~-> 00:37:30 |behind it, the operator of the model, the person pushing the button, the responsibility solely rests on them. Versus someone that wants to blame anyone
334 |202 |00:37:30 ~-~-> 00:37:42 |everything outside of themselves, because they're not personally responsible. So anyway, let's drop down here into financial aid and see what this thing is
335 |203 |00:37:42 ~-~-> 00:37:42 |trying to do here
336 |204 |00:37:50 ~-~-> 00:37:56 |it still could pop up there that 15,020 see if it will do it.
337 |205 |00:38:13 ~-~-> 00:38:22 |Alright, so see that, see that wick right here? We're hovering right around the halfway point or consequent encouragement, the fact that this candle closed
338 |206 |00:38:22 ~-~-> 00:38:33 |above it, I would like to see it not trade back down to the lower end, or lower half of that wick. I'd like to see it expand up and drive into that level right
339 |207 |00:38:33 ~-~-> 00:38:35 |there and want a five minute chart so.
340 |208 |00:38:52 ~-~-> 00:39:01 |Can you see how we're hovering around that? This candle closed above it? When I see that and I have an objective or a draw on liquidity, that's likely to be a
341 |209 |00:39:01 ~-~-> 00:39:10 |reason for the market to want to draw up to. And this is reverse to for when I'm bearish. And there's a big candle like this, when I see that. And then the very
342 |210 |00:39:10 ~-~-> 00:39:19 |next candle, I'm watching whatever that timeframe is, it's all respective to whatever timeframe you're watching. So it's not limited just to a five minute
343 |211 |00:39:19 ~-~-> 00:39:31 |chart. It's universal. It's something that I would expect in reading any timeframe. So if I'm watching like a 15 second chart, whether I'm watching a one
344 |212 |00:39:31 ~-~-> 00:39:41 |minute chart or an hourly chart, whatever timeframe, if I had the drawn liquidity in mind that I'd like to see deliver. If that's what's in my mind, I
345 |213 |00:39:41 ~-~-> 00:39:53 |think it could reach for and we see a wick like this. Many other traders would see this as scary and problematic. Like it could potentially start to reverse. I
346 |214 |00:39:53 ~-~-> 00:40:06 |don't subscribe to that view. And I get further along in my belief that algorithm will reprice those by stops here. If this candle that's immediately
347 |215 |00:40:06 ~-~-> 00:40:16 |after the wick forms. If it can close above the midpoint that it just means that there's potential for follow through. Now there's two things you can do with
348 |216 |00:40:16 ~-~-> 00:40:27 |that information, you can do it as a, if you're a real, real, real short term scalper, you can do things like this watch, I'll go into a one minute chart. And
349 |217 |00:40:27 ~-~-> 00:40:37 |while prices hitting this right here, a real small Ultra cert short term, high frequency trading algorithm would be the be buying it when it hit here. And then
350 |218 |00:40:37 ~-~-> 00:40:48 |using this high as your target, just do like a half a point, since we're doing futures, like a half a point below that your limit order would be there. And
351 |219 |00:40:48 ~-~-> 00:40:56 |that in itself, you're doing more than most people on social media, if you could just do that. Most people don't have an ability to find where price should
352 |220 |00:40:57 ~-~-> 00:41:05 |gravitate to where it should turn around what what real support resistance would be looking like. And if you follow the stuff that's in books that classically
353 |221 |00:41:05 ~-~-> 00:41:14 |defined Support Resistance, that to me is math, that's random, okay, because there's so many different interpretations of what support resistance should be.
354 |222 |00:41:15 ~-~-> 00:41:27 |And they don't all behave the same way. And one of the things that I've tried to do over the years is to try to create a language where I can communicate to
355 |223 |00:41:27 ~-~-> 00:41:38 |myself in my journaling, and also, when I was younger, expecting to be a father at some time, right? If I had children, how can I talk to them and communicate
356 |224 |00:41:38 ~-~-> 00:41:49 |in a way where these candlesticks tell a story. And there's a narrative behind what it is that they're doing. And that way, we don't fall victim to just moving
357 |225 |00:41:49 ~-~-> 00:42:04 |around for the sake of short term randomness, because I do believe, like, in very, very small timeframes, when in, in consolidations, that's where, I guess,
358 |226 |00:42:04 ~-~-> 00:42:14 |quote, unquote, randomness can occur. Because during those periods, it's time distortion. And time distortion is where the market is not being permitted to
359 |227 |00:42:14 ~-~-> 00:42:26 |move is not being allowed to displace higher or lower and start running. So in these very, very small timeframes, sub five minutes, whatever, and you get these
360 |228 |00:42:26 ~-~-> 00:42:41 |little consolidations in price action, that is time distortion, it's being held for a news event to hit the marketplace. It's being held for a session close.
361 |229 |00:42:41 ~-~-> 00:42:53 |Like if you watch out that last few minutes of trading new after 4pm. In New York session, many times you'll see the market just start marking time basically
362 |230 |00:42:53 ~-~-> 00:43:01 |just going sideways isn't doing anything. That's time distortion, the algorithm is not operating anymore. It's this a set a range high and it's at a range low.
363 |231 |00:43:01 ~-~-> 00:43:08 |And they just let it meander back and forth. It's not seeking liquidity there, it's not going after anybody stops buying and selling pressure has no influence
364 |232 |00:43:08 ~-~-> 00:43:21 |over it's just simply limiting its range in delivery. That's it. It's done. But during market hours, the algorithm will absolutely be seeking liquidity, it will
365 |233 |00:43:21 ~-~-> 00:43:32 |be running off of macros that are short little scripts and market code, okay. And all these things will be firing, causing price to move. And it has nothing
366 |234 |00:43:32 ~-~-> 00:43:43 |to do with how many people bought it or how many people sold it. Right. So look at the reaction here. We went just about that wick here, despite a little bit.
367 |235 |00:43:44 ~-~-> 00:43:55 |We're pulling back now looking at all of this run here. Look at all this price delivery right there. Is there any inefficiency? make it larger? So you can see
368 |236 |00:43:56 ~-~-> 00:44:09 |from this candles high right here. down to that low. Is there any inefficiencies in price? Fairway gaps, at least one thing? From this candle to this candle? No.
369 |237 |00:44:09 ~-~-> 00:44:28 |From this candle to the left? No, from this candle to the left. Now, from this cancel the left no, from this candle to this. Yes. You see it that small little
370 |238 |00:44:28 ~-~-> 00:44:28 |one right here
371 |239 |00:44:36 ~-~-> 00:44:49 |see that? This is the only inefficiency in this price run here. This one's kind of like the same. Let me see what the highest on that one is 80 and a half. Low
372 |240 |00:44:49 ~-~-> 00:45:01 |is as even. So it's no inefficiency or no gap there. So it's our immediate rebalance. Which is perfect for me to segue right into that Sorry, the run here,
373 |241 |00:45:02 ~-~-> 00:45:10 |open traded down whenever we see this, this is one of the things I teach. It's an immediate rebalance, you're not going to see that in any kind of books.
374 |242 |00:45:10 ~-~-> 00:45:17 |Crisler, you don't even talk about it. And a lot of people try to say I teach this stuff. It's not a neutral secret story come out here doing this. But that
375 |243 |00:45:17 ~-~-> 00:45:28 |is an immediate rebalance. That means it's soon as it does that, you're going to see sudden price delivery. Real quick. You tell me, Okay, does that look like it
376 |244 |00:45:28 ~-~-> 00:45:40 |once it gets somewhere after it did an immediate rebalance? Of course it does. where's it gonna go to that high. We can anticipate an entry here, a pyramid
377 |245 |00:45:40 ~-~-> 00:45:52 |entry here. Or if you miss this run, as I outlined live, that it's consolidating around that consequent encroachment of the higher timeframe. Candlestick wick,
378 |246 |00:45:52 ~-~-> 00:46:05 |that's what I was measuring on that. And came down hit it rallied up just to take out the high. It did. So here, no inefficiencies at all. And I want to see
379 |247 |00:46:05 ~-~-> 00:46:14 |personally I want to see price state above consequent coachmen that I'll that'll tell me, this is where we're going to run for at the 930. If we break down below
380 |248 |00:46:14 ~-~-> 00:46:24 |it, then it's probably going to need to trade into this area here, which is of no consequence that maybe because I could care less. But let's say I was trading
381 |249 |00:46:24 ~-~-> 00:46:33 |this morning, and I wanted to trade the New York, opening bell at 930 10 o'clock, and I wanted to do something, okay. Or I want the tape read, okay, or I
382 |250 |00:46:33 ~-~-> 00:46:44 |want to do a demo account execution for practice. And I don't want to take real risk. Or I just want to sit down my youngest son's not with me this morning. But
383 |251 |00:46:44 ~-~-> 00:46:55 |if I wanted to sit with him in practice executions, and we're reading the tape with them, I would use the information I'm showing you here, for 930. For this
384 |252 |00:46:55 ~-~-> 00:47:03 |run up here, the higher probability trade set up would be for price to stay. And it can do what it just did there. It can wick down below that, but just I don't
385 |253 |00:47:03 ~-~-> 00:47:11 |want to see the close of that candle, see where it stopped. See that? See that started right there? That's good. I like that. But if it traded down and close
386 |254 |00:47:11 ~-~-> 00:47:23 |below that, then this is a fact that it needs to be revisited. But that break there that close and look at the reaction right there. That little response
387 |255 |00:47:23 ~-~-> 00:47:32 |right there. That's an algorithm that's doing that. That's not buyers and sellers, okay. That's these things I'm talking about. There's a signature and
388 |256 |00:47:32 ~-~-> 00:47:41 |price. And when you know where you're supposed to be expecting them to form, when to anticipate their delivery, what they should be performing, what should
389 |257 |00:47:41 ~-~-> 00:47:54 |they offer in terms of support or resistance should incite the algorithm to start repricing to a specific direction or a specific price level? And these PD
390 |258 |00:47:54 ~-~-> 00:48:05 |raise in the right narrative? So that way, when you understand what price is likely to do, it'll tell you how fast it should deliver, like, should it be a
391 |259 |00:48:05 ~-~-> 00:48:17 |slow meandering delivery, where it just just keeps on creeping? Or does it go like, well, it runs real quick and takes off. That part, like I can't write a
392 |260 |00:48:17 ~-~-> 00:48:27 |book, that's going to be able to clearly show you that, like you have to see it live, you have to see examples of it. And when I do executions, even when it was
393 |261 |00:48:27 ~-~-> 00:48:38 |in demo, the purposes were for you to go back and study and see where those things are that repeat that I teach. And how does that how's that used in price
394 |262 |00:48:38 ~-~-> 00:48:46 |for that particular trade? What elements of the things that I teach in price action, we're in that trade setup that I took. And for a long time, people were
395 |263 |00:48:46 ~-~-> 00:48:55 |complaining about how its demo demo demo, it only works in demo, apparently. And then I started trading with a real account, and then there's crickets, you know,
396 |264 |00:48:55 ~-~-> 00:49:07 |never going to be able to satisfy everybody. So I like the idea that this candlestick came down. Just about half of that candlestick. That would be mean
397 |265 |00:49:07 ~-~-> 00:49:18 |threshold because we're talking about a body. So it's not an inefficiency. But because it's Friday, because it's a day, I'm trying to remind you not to take
398 |266 |00:49:18 ~-~-> 00:49:27 |this stuff. I know some of you right now are pushing buttons, because you hear me talking on you and you are being convinced that what I'm saying here is just
399 |267 |00:49:27 ~-~-> 00:49:36 |enough for you to get into a trade. I'm telling you don't do that. Don't do that. This is the part that I didn't want to do this morning, but I'm trying to
400 |268 |00:49:36 ~-~-> 00:49:48 |be generous to you because I wasn't with y'all yesterday. In a perfect world, it should run higher rate from here. If it were say it was a Thursday, not Friday,
401 |269 |00:49:49 ~-~-> 00:49:59 |I would already be net long. And my limit order would be just below here. And I would have a best case scenario up into this up here. That's how I handle that
402 |270 |00:49:59 ~-~-> 00:50:07 |but It's Friday, I'm not trading it on that live, you're not going to have a, here's a dose, I was secretly doing my trading, I wouldn't, I'm not doing it
403 |271 |00:50:07 ~-~-> 00:50:18 |here. And it's telling you how to read how to practice it, and use the day without taking on risk. The best case scenario would be the state above in this
404 |272 |00:50:18 ~-~-> 00:50:30 |range here prior to 930. And if it does that, then I would like to see price, run this area here after nine at 930, or just after 930 Going into 10 o'clock.
405 |273 |00:50:31 ~-~-> 00:50:43 |But then at 10 o'clock, I think that we could see it, retrace it throughout the remainder of the pm session, and go lower and attack all the price delivery that
406 |274 |00:50:43 ~-~-> 00:50:48 |we've seen so far from the London hours all the way through to pre market
407 |275 |00:50:56 ~-~-> 00:51:02 |saw you folks this thought that it was gonna be I'm gonna open up an account and I'm gonna be able to walk out here and start making money, it's gonna be easy.
408 |276 |00:51:02 ~-~-> 00:51:08 |So a lot of things you have to weigh out in it. That's why it's difficult. It's the hardest easy money you'll ever make.
409 |277 |00:51:17 ~-~-> 00:51:30 |Now, another thing for your notes today. Whenever you have to high impact news drivers apologize. Whenever there's two high impact news drivers in the in the
410 |278 |00:51:30 ~-~-> 00:51:39 |same session, like we have 830 News driver to this has already hit the market 830. And then we have one at 10 o'clock. Whenever that happens. Whenever that's
411 |279 |00:51:39 ~-~-> 00:51:47 |in the economic calendar, my mind immediately goes to in case you're wondering, like why would I say 10 o'clock news should be used to go against everything
412 |280 |00:51:47 ~-~-> 00:52:04 |that's going on. Think about it like this. If a terrorist was going to lay a bomb down, okay. And they do it this way, they go into a busy area where a
413 |281 |00:52:04 ~-~-> 00:52:17 |marketplace or a storefront and they they set a small charge up. And when that charge goes off, what's going to happen, everybody is going to run away from
414 |282 |00:52:17 ~-~-> 00:52:30 |that point of impact, right. And they all run to a location where the larger bomb is, so that when there's more casualties, okay. In my mind, the way I
415 |283 |00:52:30 ~-~-> 00:52:45 |internalize what they do, is much like what I teach with FOMC. Much like I teach with Non Farm Payroll. Those are financial bombs. Okay, they're literally placed
416 |284 |00:52:45 ~-~-> 00:52:56 |in the marketplace. They're algorithmically delivered. And what happens is, one news driver sends price, you know, careening one direction. That's that first
417 |285 |00:52:56 ~-~-> 00:53:10 |explosion. Okay, so, at 830, what would it price do down here? Running right, we have a potential pool of liquidity up here where price could could gravitate to
418 |286 |00:53:10 ~-~-> 00:53:14 |right. And I'm suggesting to you as long as we're in the upper half.
419 |287 |00:53:27 ~-~-> 00:53:39 |As long as we're in this area here, going into 930, I favored the idea that we could run up in here and sweep that out. And on some kind of momentum,
420 |288 |00:53:39 ~-~-> 00:53:49 |overzealous price delivery, your best case scenario would be up into this area here, this inefficiency on the higher timeframe. But I'm not willing to take
421 |289 |00:53:49 ~-~-> 00:54:02 |that trade today. Because it's Friday. And it's the it's going against my mindset about content with what I've done. And if I did something this morning,
422 |290 |00:54:04 ~-~-> 00:54:13 |and it wasn't profitable, or if I outline something, and call it like on Twitter, and it doesn't pan out. It'll be in my head all weekend, when I knew I
423 |291 |00:54:13 ~-~-> 00:54:18 |shouldn't have touched it, I wouldn't, I shouldn't have done it. So hearing me talk about it live over the chart. That way, it gives you a little bit more
424 |292 |00:54:18 ~-~-> 00:54:27 |understanding of why I'm not taking the trade. But I'm also using the opportunity to teach you real time. What I would do if it was say like a
425 |293 |00:54:27 ~-~-> 00:54:42 |Thursday wasn't the end of the week. Okay. But that 10 O'Clock News driver in price running up to this level here and maybe maybe spiking up beyond it to get
426 |294 |00:54:42 ~-~-> 00:54:54 |into this inefficiency here. I would use if I was making the market. I would use the 10 o'clock hour. That news and the sentiment after seeing Traders See it
427 |295 |00:54:54 ~-~-> 00:55:06 |rallying from 830 and at 10 o'clock we see it going higher, what is the public gonna do? What's the street money going to be thinking? Street money is gonna be
428 |296 |00:55:06 ~-~-> 00:55:16 |like, I want to be long, right? I want to be long. That's the very logic that I used on Wednesday to explain to you why we're trading where we're at right now.
429 |297 |00:55:17 ~-~-> 00:55:28 |through Thursday, now Friday's initial trading, because I'm waiting for those wrestling matches when the sentiment of retail, the collective that is called
430 |298 |00:55:28 ~-~-> 00:55:35 |retail trading, the street money, the quote, unquote, dumb money. And I don't mean that to be ignorant, but that's just what it is. I mean, I came from that
431 |299 |00:55:35 ~-~-> 00:55:46 |too, right? Everybody is that when you first start, I'm waiting for the time period where what I'm anticipating that the algorithm will do, how it runs on
432 |300 |00:55:46 ~-~-> 00:55:56 |specific narratives and emits macros, and the time of day, it does certain things using the economic calendar, just like a TV Guide. Okay, you can, you can
433 |301 |00:55:56 ~-~-> 00:56:09 |anticipate the sentiment shifts, that the retail trader, and collectively the traders will think and how they're, they will perceive price, before it even
434 |302 |00:56:09 ~-~-> 00:56:19 |happens. So you're really not only predicting the future, but you're reading other people's minds in the future, which is an amazing skill set to have. And
435 |303 |00:56:19 ~-~-> 00:56:30 |that's why this industry is so fascinating, because it's really a study of psychology. It's more a study of psychology than it is of a game of chance or
436 |304 |00:56:30 ~-~-> 00:56:43 |risk. And I think if you approach your, your initial stages of learning, with that mindset, that approach the internalizing how prices being booked, and why
437 |305 |00:56:43 ~-~-> 00:56:54 |it would be booked like that, what what would be the instigation of price doing a specific thing? What would be the the catalysts will be the driver of that
438 |306 |00:56:54 ~-~-> 00:57:02 |doing that very thing? What will be the cause and effect? What will be the repercussions of price doing a very specific thing? And how would the losing
439 |307 |00:57:02 ~-~-> 00:57:14 |crowd the the retail minded trader? How would he fall victim to it. Because that's what this game is about. Every large fund manager is still a retail
440 |308 |00:57:14 ~-~-> 00:57:24 |trader, there's they're literally trading on retail concepts. It's amazing it when you sit down and see what they're doing. They're doing the same stuff that
441 |309 |00:57:24 ~-~-> 00:57:36 |everybody has in these books. They're just doing it on a larger scale, on the higher timeframe charts in in just allowing for more time to eventually move the
442 |310 |00:57:36 ~-~-> 00:57:47 |market in their favor. That's all that's happening. Now that the proprietary firms out there that have their own algorithms that they're running in the
443 |311 |00:57:47 ~-~-> 00:57:57 |marketplace that trade off of small short term fluctuations in price action, they are not using retail logic, they're using a lot of the things that I'm
444 |312 |00:57:57 ~-~-> 00:58:05 |talking about here today, the framework is around how they can get into bite sized pieces. Okay, there's a there's a fish, and I may not be seeing it
445 |313 |00:58:05 ~-~-> 00:58:16 |actually, I don't know if it's considered a small shark or whatnot. But in the ocean, there's this little tiny I'm just gonna say fish, okay, but it might be a
446 |314 |00:58:16 ~-~-> 00:58:25 |technically a shark. What it does is it runs out real quick, on everything out there, it'll do it to a killer whale, it'll do it to a blue whale, it'll do it
447 |315 |00:58:25 ~-~-> 00:58:35 |to a shark, it'll do it to a barracuda to any fish tuna. But it runs out real quick and bangs into it and it takes a perfect circular bite out of them. And
448 |316 |00:58:35 ~-~-> 00:58:44 |that's all it takes hits it runs. And you can see other fish and other living organisms in the ocean that have been eaten by this thing. They're not consuming
449 |317 |00:58:44 ~-~-> 00:58:53 |the entire thing. And the wound isn't many times a fatal wound. But they're losing a piece other than themselves. And they sustain themselves by simply
450 |318 |00:58:53 ~-~-> 00:59:02 |going in and getting one bite. That's what these proprietary algorithms do. They go into the marketplace to take these little bites here and there at points that
451 |319 |00:59:02 ~-~-> 00:59:12 |when the market makes it available to it, it will work and engage it that way. Whereas a long term, large hedge fund manager, they're not looking for these
452 |320 |00:59:12 ~-~-> 00:59:22 |little surgical strikes. They're looking for big long term massive price swings, because they don't want to have their clients constantly calling up Hey, what
453 |321 |00:59:22 ~-~-> 00:59:31 |are you doing? Like my equity is going up and down a lot. They don't want that they want a very very slow smooth equity curve. And if it takes all year long to
454 |322 |00:59:31 ~-~-> 00:59:41 |get 15 to 25% That's exactly how they want to engage price they want to engage then utilize their assets under management like that because they don't want
455 |323 |00:59:41 ~-~-> 00:59:50 |their clients to be hopped up on goofballs or fearing and freaking out because of the the normal fluctuations in price action. We as a speculator when we're
456 |324 |00:59:50 ~-~-> 00:59:59 |watching price action. We're whether you'd like to believe it this way or not, but this is the reality. You are inviting roller coaster volatility you want
457 |325 |00:59:59 ~-~-> 01:00:07 |that you want to see See that and you're okay with seeing your your account going higher and lower, because you're in anticipating that eventually you're
458 |326 |01:00:07 ~-~-> 01:00:17 |going to get to a big explosive price run, that you'll be hopefully on side and capture that big run. And it'll be profitable for you. But what you end up
459 |327 |01:00:17 ~-~-> 01:00:27 |incurring is a lot of those little tiny little fish that come up here in the bank and you bite your account. And then you make a big to do about that, and
460 |328 |01:00:27 ~-~-> 01:00:34 |you think that's failure, or you get mad about it, like, I'm the only one that can come in here and take it out, I'm the only one that can take the profits
461 |329 |01:00:34 ~-~-> 01:00:42 |out, Nobody's allowed to take anything from me, that's not realistic, to go into this industry, thinking that you're not going to have a little piece of your ass
462 |330 |01:00:42 ~-~-> 01:00:49 |taken here and there is unrealistic. So you have to accept the fact that you're going to get bid, you're going to get chomped on, you're going to you're going
463 |331 |01:00:49 ~-~-> 01:01:00 |to miss out on a limb, here and there, you know, one week at a month, or half a month, or you might just get through the month in one day gets you back to
464 |332 |01:01:00 ~-~-> 01:01:08 |breakeven, you know what that means? You're a better trader than most people out there. Because most people are net loss at the end of the month, at the end of
465 |333 |01:01:08 ~-~-> 01:01:18 |the week, at the end of the day. As soon as they get their live account. They're done, because they don't know what they're doing. So it's really important that
466 |334 |01:01:18 ~-~-> 01:01:27 |you have realistic expectations that you give yourself the time required to learn this, and don't put so much emphasis on being perfect in the beginning,
467 |335 |01:01:27 ~-~-> 01:01:37 |but also learning how the market should book and who would be who would be in a position to to gain by a market delivering a specific way go into a specific
468 |336 |01:01:37 ~-~-> 01:01:49 |high, who would get hurt there? And why would them specifically being hurt at that time? How would that be used advantageously by another group of speculators
469 |337 |01:01:49 ~-~-> 01:01:58 |in the marketplace? What would be that narrative? So I try to teach that to my students. And I'm trying to teach you the the building blocks over here. And
470 |338 |01:01:59 ~-~-> 01:02:07 |there are going to be days where it'll look like it's wonderful, where the opportunities are going to be bountiful. And as soon as you get in the
471 |339 |01:02:07 ~-~-> 01:02:17 |marketplace, all everything goes fuzzy, he becomes uncertain, your model doesn't look as so one sided, as it did before you put the trade on.
472 |340 |01:02:18 ~-~-> 01:02:28 |In those instances, as soon as you feel that, okay. And if you're new, and you haven't been doing for a long time, the first thing you should do is immediately
473 |341 |01:02:28 ~-~-> 01:02:38 |cut the risk in half. If you can't do it, because you're only doing one of the smallest lot sizes or contracts, then close the trade. It's not, it's not
474 |342 |01:02:39 ~-~-> 01:02:48 |beneficial for you in the beginning early stages, for you to wrestle through uncertainty in spending, not only the capital that's in the account, whether it
475 |343 |01:02:48 ~-~-> 01:03:00 |be demo, or a combine, or a funded account, or funded with a funding count company, or life funds, it's not worth doing that in the early stages, because
476 |344 |01:03:00 ~-~-> 01:03:08 |that damage, where it's reasonable to expect that little tiny fish to come in here and take a chunk of your ass and you lose something that's that's this
477 |345 |01:03:08 ~-~-> 01:03:15 |business folks. You're in the ocean now. And you're in here and you're trading, you're in here with other things that have teeth. And you're going to lose
478 |346 |01:03:15 ~-~-> 01:03:24 |limbs, fingers toes, it's going to happen, okay? And you're going to have to still find a way to swim, or you're eaten eaten, or you're going to sink and
479 |347 |01:03:24 ~-~-> 01:03:41 |then when you sink, the bottom feeders consume you. But you can't escape. You know, something not biting you eventually having this mindset that you want
480 |348 |01:03:41 ~-~-> 01:03:52 |everything to be one sided on your trades. And as soon as they become potentially not so one sided. The first rule thought should be okay, number one
481 |349 |01:03:52 ~-~-> 01:04:04 |rule in trading is preserved capital. That means, okay, this trade is not so obvious to me right now. It looked really good. It wanted to go to this specific
482 |350 |01:04:04 ~-~-> 01:04:12 |level. But now it hasn't done so it hasn't performed that way. But it hasn't really done enough that make me think that it's entirely wrong. It's just the
483 |351 |01:04:12 ~-~-> 01:04:22 |little and I'm a little unsure about it. Now. When that happens, cut the trade in half. Or if you can't cut it in half, close it and then observe it study
484 |352 |01:04:22 ~-~-> 01:04:31 |don't walk away from it thinking Oh, whatever. Or get mad about because it didn't deliver like you wanted to watch it. Still try to get the experience from
485 |353 |01:04:31 ~-~-> 01:04:42 |it with no risk. If it moves in your favor. Okay, great. You kept yourself from spending mech, mental capital, which many times is much more important than the
486 |354 |01:04:42 ~-~-> 01:04:50 |actual capital in your account because that can easily be replaced with working a second job, you know, putting money from your savings into it, you know, if
487 |355 |01:04:50 ~-~-> 01:04:58 |you have a business taking something that you sell, and applying it to your your account that that part's easy, you know, it's hard, getting back the mental
488 |356 |01:04:58 ~-~-> 01:05:09 |capital that you cause have a deficit in in bankruptcy of completely not trusting your model anymore because of one event, which one event doesn't change
489 |357 |01:05:09 ~-~-> 01:05:18 |or upset any model? In my opinion, I don't care if it's even retail stuff. Your one event one losing trade one transaction didn't pan out, doesn't undermine the
490 |358 |01:05:18 ~-~-> 01:05:30 |efficacy of anything. But many times you're gonna find out and you probably are, if you agree to me, being honest right now, you would think that this is what
491 |359 |01:05:30 ~-~-> 01:05:37 |you're wrestling with right now. And whenever you have these short term adversities, you think that everything's changing the algorithms changing ICTs
492 |360 |01:05:37 ~-~-> 01:05:45 |got too many students, now, they're changing the algorithm. Now they're not. They're not going to do that. Okay, trust me, they're not going to do it, the
493 |361 |01:05:45 ~-~-> 01:05:55 |markets will stop, they won't be available to us to trade before that would ever happen. Okay, you're literally talking about the donor lining mechanics of how
494 |362 |01:05:55 ~-~-> 01:06:08 |prices book. They're not changing it is the way it is okay. All right. So we have one candlestick down here, that close below it. And then we have this one
495 |363 |01:06:08 ~-~-> 01:06:13 |here, mentioned how it could draw down to that little tiny little inefficiency, it didn't touch it, I would have liked to have seen it hit that actually,
496 |364 |01:06:13 ~-~-> 01:06:18 |personally, but it's Friday, right? It's Friday
497 |365 |01:06:23 ~-~-> 01:06:37 |night, so it's about nine minutes, almost after nine o'clock. I'm in overtime with y'all for free, like that. Alright, so see how many times we've poked above
498 |366 |01:06:37 ~-~-> 01:06:55 |here. Here, here, here, nobody's had been allowed the breach that Hi. Just the wicks. Now in my mind, you see this here
499 |367 |01:07:08 ~-~-> 01:07:19 |some of you might see that as the model 2022, where it's a shift in market structure here, going up into a fair value gap, sell short, and then wait for it
500 |368 |01:07:19 ~-~-> 01:07:31 |to keep going down lower. I would not take this trade using that logic. Even if it does deliver and say it goes lower. I don't care about that. Because there's
501 |369 |01:07:31 ~-~-> 01:07:44 |a 10 o'clock high impact news driver looming. It's Friday. The idea that it could squeeze up there even more and why would that be advantageous? Because
502 |370 |01:07:44 ~-~-> 01:07:55 |longer term the market has been going were down the last two months or so or month and a half we've seen lower prices. So if we are in fact and let's play
503 |371 |01:07:55 ~-~-> 01:08:02 |devil's advocate for a moment, just for the sake of this discussion, let's just say I'm right just this time, okay. And we do go lower longer term say in
504 |372 |01:08:02 ~-~-> 01:08:11 |November we're lower than we will to on Wednesday of this week here. If that's the case and say for the sake of discussion that I'm right and it goes that
505 |373 |01:08:11 ~-~-> 01:08:25 |lower price in into November we go lower wherever it would be advantageous for the market to go above these highs here because it would do what run by stops.
506 |374 |01:08:25 ~-~-> 01:08:37 |Why would that be advantageous? Because those five stops could be used for what short entries for folks that want to do what build in positions that eventually
507 |375 |01:08:37 ~-~-> 01:08:51 |will be underwater for Long's but profitable for them if we do take out Wednesday's low so I use that idea in thought process coupled with the fact that
508 |376 |01:08:51 ~-~-> 01:09:04 |we have two high impact news drivers in the same session whenever we have that there's like this two stage delivery one two used to spur on a move or continue
509 |377 |01:09:04 ~-~-> 01:09:09 |something that like we've seen since London what is price done in London
510 |378 |01:09:24 ~-~-> 01:09:32 |Okay, three o'clock in here we rallied came back down in to inefficiency I'll I'll go back into a high timeframe show you what that isn't a moment. For those
511 |379 |01:09:32 ~-~-> 01:09:43 |that don't know remember what this is. Then we rallied again in between seven o'clock and 830 News driver comes out 830 What is it used for? To continue what
512 |380 |01:09:43 ~-~-> 01:09:53 |has already been in play since London? Okay, that means supercharger hire Wonderful. Great. But we still have what we have that 10 O'Clock News, and it's
513 |381 |01:09:53 ~-~-> 01:10:09 |Friday. So there's a lot of maybe couldn't be right But maybe you can be wrong. And I know that these are days that because it's to market drivers, I might not
514 |382 |01:10:09 ~-~-> 01:10:20 |have the second at 10 o'clock, pegged, they could use 10 o'clock to send it through even higher, because it's Friday, because they want to squeeze, squeeze,
515 |383 |01:10:20 ~-~-> 01:10:32 |squeeze, squeeze, squeeze up into all the trail by stops, because that's where liquidity would be for someone to buy it from them at a higher price. Smart
516 |384 |01:10:32 ~-~-> 01:10:43 |Money, if I'm right, and we're going lower than Wednesday's low this week, if I'm accurate on that assessment, that belief that opinion, and that's the I'm
517 |385 |01:10:43 ~-~-> 01:10:50 |not trying to make the case that I am right on this submitting to the idea that what I do and how I'm reading price and how I use the economic calendar. And
518 |386 |01:10:50 ~-~-> 01:11:01 |when there's two drivers in the same session, we're not talking about a high impact news event that 830 And then something at two o'clock, there's two of
519 |387 |01:11:01 ~-~-> 01:11:16 |them in the same session, the morning session, the am session, because of that. My concern is that they used London to send it higher, which was in sympathy of
520 |388 |01:11:16 ~-~-> 01:11:27 |what I outlined Thursday would be, which would be a retracement higher 830 They send in more volatility and sends it higher. And now we have that looming 10
521 |389 |01:11:27 ~-~-> 01:11:39 |o'clock news. So I would not want to trade ahead of that because it can be utilized. As I'm outlining here, I am completely content with being wrong. If I
522 |390 |01:11:39 ~-~-> 01:11:50 |miss a move on content, because I'm trusting the logic, and I'm not going to feel, Oh, I missed out on that move. Whereas some of you might think that's
523 |391 |01:11:50 ~-~-> 01:11:57 |occurring, because maybe I've done something in the past where I said, I think this level is going to trade too. And it doesn't do it. Oh, you know, ICTs FOMO
524 |392 |01:11:57 ~-~-> 01:12:08 |right now, no, I'm not. I don't care. Because I know what I'm looking for. And I know when I can potentially be wrong. And if I am wrong, it doesn't change
525 |393 |01:12:08 ~-~-> 01:12:17 |anything, it just means that that was nothing for me to take money out of. I couldn't use that, for my advantage. I couldn't use that for a means of
526 |394 |01:12:18 ~-~-> 01:12:30 |harvesting any profit from the marketplace. And being right or wrong has zero to do with trading profitably has nothing to do with it. But in the beginning, you
527 |395 |01:12:30 ~-~-> 01:12:39 |equate that that's what this is. Trading properly is being right? When many times I've made money being wrong. And that's the skill set that you need to be
528 |396 |01:12:39 ~-~-> 01:12:51 |working towards saving and keeping money in your account when you're wrong. How often have you thought about doing it? Think about that? How often are you
529 |397 |01:12:51 ~-~-> 01:12:58 |thinking about preserving capital? Many times you're not you're you're thinking about it when you're in a trade with with a trade that you didn't put a stop
530 |398 |01:12:58 ~-~-> 01:13:06 |loss on wishing you would have, then you're thinking about now I wish I would have preserved some capital and use a stop loss. Because I didn't want to see
531 |399 |01:13:06 ~-~-> 01:13:13 |this happen, I thought it was never going to happen. And it's done around 40 handles against me. And it could probably keep going up and up and up and in
532 |400 |01:13:13 ~-~-> 01:13:21 |your mind you think it's gonna go up 500 More handles the likelihood of that happening next to zero. But in your mind, because you're doing things wrong, and
533 |401 |01:13:21 ~-~-> 01:13:32 |you're thinking now toxically you start inviting and entertaining these unrealistic scary thoughts. And you wonder why you don't have any discipline,
534 |402 |01:13:33 ~-~-> 01:13:44 |why you can't follow a model, because you're inviting the very things that is going to undo you as a trader. All those things that you're fearful of. They're
535 |403 |01:13:44 ~-~-> 01:13:54 |easily managed. And some of the things that you think are likely to occur to you are probably never going to happen. But I promise you, if you don't have
536 |404 |01:13:54 ~-~-> 01:14:05 |impeccable risk management, I promise you, if you don't use a stop loss, I promise you, if you over leverage, you're gonna blow your account. Even with my
537 |405 |01:14:05 ~-~-> 01:14:15 |material, even with the precision stuff that I teach all these rules, you still run the risk of undoing yourself because of the character flaws that you'll
538 |406 |01:14:15 ~-~-> 01:14:24 |bring into it. And you'll put more precedents on the things that matter the least. And not concern yourself with things that matter the most preserving
539 |407 |01:14:24 ~-~-> 01:14:38 |capital, if you had your account through out the year, okay, you can lose a lot of losing trades. But if you were in the game long enough to let the good trades
540 |408 |01:14:38 ~-~-> 01:14:46 |that you would eventually been in to materialize. You can be profitable. But if you don't think the way I'm talking about here if you don't think about
541 |409 |01:14:46 ~-~-> 01:14:55 |preserving your mental capital first. So you have to be comfortable in the trade. You have to be content with what it is you're doing. There's nothing
542 |410 |01:14:55 ~-~-> 01:15:00 |better that need to be worrying about. There's no other market that you need to be worrying about. There's no timeframe that need to be worried about There's no
543 |411 |01:15:00 ~-~-> 01:15:08 |other setup no no other model, no other ICT post no other tweet that I'm going to be making no other video no other instructional thing there was nothing
544 |412 |01:15:08 ~-~-> 01:15:19 |missing. I want you to watch this other video has literally just retweeted some guy asking some other students, you know, what was the most important things of
545 |413 |01:15:19 ~-~-> 01:15:30 |the 2023 mentorship? And I'll summarize what he's asking, or she I don't know if it's a guy or gal. Give me a shortcut. I don't want to waste my time. Don't
546 |414 |01:15:30 ~-~-> 01:15:38 |watch my stuff. If that's the mentality you have, don't watch any of my videos. Because you don't have it in you. You don't have any that's a weak minded
547 |415 |01:15:38 ~-~-> 01:15:46 |individual. You want something real quick, have it your way mentorship, dollar menu, mentorship, you've seen a drive thru, we're not McDonald's here. I'm not a
548 |416 |01:15:46 ~-~-> 01:15:53 |clown, teacher, mentor, somebody that's teaching some people how to really make real money. And there's a lot of roles. And there's a lot of things you have to
549 |417 |01:15:53 ~-~-> 01:16:03 |go through. And it's going to take time more time. And you probably want it to in the people that ask the shortcut type questions, I mute them. Like I tweet, I
550 |418 |01:16:03 ~-~-> 01:16:12 |retweeted them, but he's muted. Now I have no tolerance for that. Zero tolerance for it. And they can talk shit about me call all kinds of names and whatever, I
551 |419 |01:16:12 ~-~-> 01:16:21 |don't care, these people don't want to learn. They want a magic trick that they can go out and perform and impress their family and friends and have overnight
552 |420 |01:16:21 ~-~-> 01:16:34 |success in trading is not like that. That's a lot of things that you have to weigh in factoring. In a lot of people just are not equipped. They're not
553 |421 |01:16:34 ~-~-> 01:16:44 |equipped to speculate in these markets, to manage risk. They can't even balance a checkbook let alone go in here and try to balance a trade from beginning to
554 |422 |01:16:44 ~-~-> 01:16:53 |end. Many of you probably don't even know what's in your bank account, you got to go in to sign into your bank and see how much money you got. That's scary.
555 |423 |01:16:53 ~-~-> 01:17:04 |And you can think about is that scary. But you all want to have a profitable trading journey. You're not even funny, so responsible in your own little money,
556 |424 |01:17:05 ~-~-> 01:17:06 |and you want to make a lot of money.
557 |425 |01:17:11 ~-~-> 01:17:20 |All right, so we had one small run, that didn't get down to a level I would have liked to see here, I would have liked to seen it hit that that small
558 |426 |01:17:20 ~-~-> 01:17:29 |inefficiency member I was drawn out here earlier. That small one is the volume imbalance right there. I didn't notice it until we just did that. So if we
559 |427 |01:17:29 ~-~-> 01:17:38 |overshoot this, say it drops one more time, say it goes into here and overshoots it this little tiny volume imbalance, right there until we get down to the
560 |428 |01:17:38 ~-~-> 01:17:56 |immediate rebalance there. That That could happen. It could get little whipsawing. But ultimately, I want to see how we behave 930 into 10 when that
561 |429 |01:17:56 ~-~-> 01:18:08 |news driver hits. And that's thing here for that by the way. You're like, oh, yeah, ICTs gonna be looking at the time now. I'm gonna try to escape here. And
562 |430 |01:18:08 ~-~-> 01:18:17 |when I watch the opening bell, I'll give you five minutes. But I want to be in my mind, not messing with anything, you're not going to get any dose later on. I
563 |431 |01:18:17 ~-~-> 01:18:27 |just want to see how it behaves and not be talking about like I'm doing now because this is a little distracting for me. So if you're in this trade, okay.
564 |432 |01:18:28 ~-~-> 01:18:42 |I'm saying trade in quotes, because I outline this as maybe some of you interpreting that as the mile 2220 22, where we take by side here, shift in
565 |433 |01:18:42 ~-~-> 01:18:53 |market structure here. Here's the inefficiency. It's above equilibrium. So we'd be in premium trading in this area here. You might look at that as a short and I
566 |434 |01:18:53 ~-~-> 01:19:01 |said I would not be interested in taking that because of the 10 O'Clock News driver, because it's Friday, because it's rolling against the underlying
567 |435 |01:19:01 ~-~-> 01:19:13 |sentiment that we've been bearish. So it's reasonable to anticipate them to want to take price up to buy stops from start to run those BizStats allowing smart
568 |436 |01:19:13 ~-~-> 01:19:27 |money to build in positions selling short, and they can sell early. Okay. If you looked at the lesson I gave on the commodity portion of the core content. And
569 |437 |01:19:27 ~-~-> 01:19:38 |for the life of me, I don't recall that don't take my word for this one. Okay. But I want to say my 10 core content, but I'm probably wrong. Okay, so I'm
570 |438 |01:19:38 ~-~-> 01:19:49 |probably calling them the wrong month. But the one I talk about commodities and I go over commitment of traders, and I teach how the smart money in this large
571 |439 |01:19:49 ~-~-> 01:20:01 |long term hedgers, they will they will sell as the markets going up they're selling into those rallies. Okay. Think about what we're seeing In the indices
572 |440 |01:20:01 ~-~-> 01:20:12 |right now, we've already dropped a lot. It's perfectly reasonable for us as on Wednesday for the market to go higher, Thursday and then Friday. And we've seen
573 |441 |01:20:12 ~-~-> 01:20:23 |that happen. Why would that be advantageous? Because if the market can go up higher, to knock out people that are profitable right now, that trail, their
574 |442 |01:20:23 ~-~-> 01:20:35 |stop loss, lower their buy stock gets them out at whatever profit or loss that books at the time their stops are executed. The other side of that execution is
575 |443 |01:20:35 ~-~-> 01:20:45 |a short seller in my mind that wants to establish a short position for the longer term. So you're looking at markets, like in terms of a pattern, my
576 |444 |01:20:45 ~-~-> 01:20:54 |harmonic wombat pattern says it should go up to this level, or should go down to that level, okay? Or you're looking at some kind of indicator that says that,
577 |445 |01:20:54 ~-~-> 01:21:03 |you know, price should do this or do that. I'm looking at price and thinking, Okay, why would price want to go to that level? I'm not a fundamental trader.
578 |446 |01:21:04 ~-~-> 01:21:13 |But I'm fundamentally lightyears ahead of everything else, because I'm looking at the context of why price should be booking the way it does. You are fine. You
579 |447 |01:21:13 ~-~-> 01:21:21 |all figured out a narrative when you take your trades and you get stopped out. They did this and you figured it out, you know exactly what they did. You always
580 |448 |01:21:21 ~-~-> 01:21:29 |say it out loud, you bitch to yourself, you bitch on social media, you bet the me bits the people on your YouTube channel. Oh, they so and so's Mark majors did
581 |449 |01:21:29 ~-~-> 01:21:40 |this, they did that. It's clear because this happened to you. So what I tried to do is I tried to be ahead of the curve and say, Okay, I am the market maker. I
582 |450 |01:21:40 ~-~-> 01:21:48 |want to take these people out, and I want to take their seat. Because I'm booking price lower. And in a later time in the future, I want to use these
583 |451 |01:21:48 ~-~-> 01:21:58 |people right now to have buy stocks that want to buy at a high price. That's essentially how I'm using their orders that they see as a shield that's
584 |452 |01:21:58 ~-~-> 01:22:10 |protecting their short position. I'm going in as a an apex predator, I'm going in like the Alpha Wolf. And I'm going to consume you, your meat to me, I'm going
585 |453 |01:22:10 ~-~-> 01:22:19 |in here and I'm going to, to sink my teeth into you and devour you, because you're getting out with a profit or you're getting out with a loss matters, not
586 |454 |01:22:19 ~-~-> 01:22:29 |to me, your liquidity, that's all you are. You're just a meal. And I have to use you as a stepping stool to get to where I want to go. That's what market making
587 |455 |01:22:29 ~-~-> 01:22:40 |is. That's exactly what it is. It's not allowing and facilitating trade. It's consuming. It's consumption. It's the survival of the fittest, the apex eating
588 |456 |01:22:41 ~-~-> 01:22:50 |the lower ladder. That's what this market is. That's what it is. And there's a lot of fanciful ways to be able to try to sugarcoat it and make it sound, you
589 |457 |01:22:50 ~-~-> 01:23:01 |know, something that it's not. And then you wonder why everybody has a losing track record. They have a inability to find consistency or find a rhyme or
590 |458 |01:23:01 ~-~-> 01:23:11 |reason of why price behaves the way it does or should or shouldn't do. Let me ask you a question. If you would have took that short in this area here. Would
591 |459 |01:23:11 ~-~-> 01:23:20 |you feel comfortable with it right now? It still could work. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna argue and say that it can't still drop. But I'm seeing right now. If
592 |460 |01:23:20 ~-~-> 01:23:28 |you were in that trade, and I'm not sure quite some of you, probably in there, and you're thinking, dammit, I should have listened ICT, who knows I might be
593 |461 |01:23:28 ~-~-> 01:23:35 |wrong, it might just drop down here and go below this lower here. It could happen I could be wrong. I'm completely accepting the fact that I might be
594 |462 |01:23:35 ~-~-> 01:23:43 |wrong. I'm inviting it. I'm allowing for it this morning. But I'm also telling you one side I don't see it that way right now. I think that they're going to
595 |463 |01:23:43 ~-~-> 01:23:57 |use that 10 o'clock to run even higher for the purposes of sending it higher to sell short into in you know, two weeks from now will be lower. That's how I'm
596 |464 |01:23:57 ~-~-> 01:24:09 |trying to I'm trying to articulate the thought processes how I'm looking at price right now. Personally, if I would have used this pattern here to get
597 |465 |01:24:09 ~-~-> 01:24:20 |short. It's highly unlikely I would have done it because these are just two. These are too enticing. Like I think this is this asking please come up here and
598 |466 |01:24:20 ~-~-> 01:24:29 |take my boss stops this come please come on up here. And let me get knocked out. Okay. Or traders that are seeing this as a bull flag. They have their buy stops
599 |467 |01:24:29 ~-~-> 01:24:40 |here to be buying long. They want to go long there. And if I'm accurate by what I'm suggesting, and if it does pan out the shorts that have buy stops here for
600 |468 |01:24:40 ~-~-> 01:24:52 |protective stop loss purpose only. If they run that they get stopped out at a at a loss. The folks that use this idea here as a bull flag. They have a resting
601 |469 |01:24:52 ~-~-> 01:25:05 |buy start to enter long to get long to be net long. I think that at 10 o'clock or 930 in at 10 o'clock, the run into this area maybe higher, they will be in
602 |470 |01:25:05 ~-~-> 01:25:15 |short term unrealized profit that I think eventually would be a cause or reason for them, let's assume that say these two lows here stay intact, and we don't go
603 |471 |01:25:15 ~-~-> 01:25:26 |lower than that prior to, to 930. Okay. Or, if we dropped down here at 930, than I would anticipate price, then reaching up here, post 930. But assuming these
604 |472 |01:25:26 ~-~-> 01:25:37 |they sing, okay, and then 930, we run higher here, that trips in the retail traders that use a breakout strategy to go long. So their buy stock is their
605 |473 |01:25:37 ~-~-> 01:25:45 |entry mechanism, that's their order to get in not a protection behind a short position, it's an entry for long position, they would be allowed to be in
606 |474 |01:25:45 ~-~-> 01:25:54 |unrealized profit. But if they use the idea that I'm outlining here, and I might be wrong, it could just keep on going higher, or never go up here at all. But in
607 |475 |01:25:54 ~-~-> 01:26:02 |my mind, I'm thinking, even if they get in, they will have a short lived, objective. And if it starts ripping up to this level here, they're not going to
608 |476 |01:26:02 ~-~-> 01:26:08 |want to get out because they think it's gonna go to the moon. And then eventually, at 10 o'clock, news will come in, and then maybe there'll be a
609 |477 |01:26:08 ~-~-> 01:26:17 |sentiment shift that is used against them. And it starts raking them across the coals and goes down below these lows here, and they are no longer profitable.
610 |478 |01:26:19 ~-~-> 01:26:35 |Consumption. Would you be comfortable with that short right now? Looking at the time we're about 95 seconds from the opening bell, would you feel comfortable in
611 |479 |01:26:35 ~-~-> 01:26:54 |that short right now with pools of liquidity here. And here I wouldn't be. This is also a time when I would not be in trying to early entry. Because sometimes
612 |480 |01:26:54 ~-~-> 01:27:01 |you'll see me enter before or right at 930. This is one instance where I wouldn't do it. Because of all the things I've talked about this morning, now
613 |481 |01:27:01 ~-~-> 01:27:05 |you want me to be able to condense that in a five minute video.
614 |482 |01:27:06 ~-~-> 01:27:14 |I ain't got time. Listen, this guy talks too much. I just gave you a clinic on stuff that you can't find in books, and no other mentors going out here doing it
615 |483 |01:27:14 ~-~-> 01:27:15 |and talking about it.
616 |484 |01:27:34 ~-~-> 01:27:47 |30 seconds. And this is where you want to be at an early stages of your development where nothing can hurt you. Nothing can cause any kind of pain. If
617 |485 |01:27:47 ~-~-> 01:27:55 |you're right or wrong. It matters not you're studying you're looking at for the purposes of understanding the logic, understanding narrative, how does how does
618 |486 |01:27:55 ~-~-> 01:28:06 |the market use the existing borders that are above and below the marketplace on a day in time with an economic downturn like we have today. And 30
619 |487 |01:28:11 ~-~-> 01:28:14 |shorts are gone long term net long.
620 |488 |01:28:28 ~-~-> 01:28:39 |told you was not muddled 2022. Not bragging but I'm just telling you there's there's a reason why when I pick trades to talk about or call levels beforehand
621 |489 |01:28:39 ~-~-> 01:28:47 |why I'm so accurate. I'm filtering out all these, all of these types of scenarios, I'm filtering them out, I'm not going to fall victim to these types
622 |490 |01:28:47 ~-~-> 01:28:58 |of things. That's why everything I talk about in Twitter, when I'm calling it, that's why it's 100% Almost likely to happen not always, always know. But most
623 |491 |01:28:58 ~-~-> 01:29:05 |of the time the hind end percent, that's why it's working all the time. So we've seen this short term buy side taken here and remember the sell side is right
624 |492 |01:29:05 ~-~-> 01:29:14 |here, in that little imbalance here and it's small little volume imbalance which I should have in Charlotte but that real quick. I'll just I'll just highlight
625 |493 |01:29:14 ~-~-> 01:29:26 |the low of it. So it can sweep below here. Hit the small little fair pay gap there and lower the volume and bounce rate between these candles bodies. That's
626 |494 |01:29:26 ~-~-> 01:29:36 |what I'm showing you in case you haven't studied what alignment balance is by me yet. It's the separation between them take this off. It's the separation between
627 |495 |01:29:37 ~-~-> 01:29:48 |these two candlesticks bodies. They can be linked with the wick or wicks. But the volume imbalance is the fact that there's no overlapping or touching of the
628 |496 |01:29:48 ~-~-> 01:29:54 |two consecutive candles bodies. So they're back
629 |497 |01:30:32 ~-~-> 01:30:44 |See how it's whipsawing? Why is it doing it, because you have a news driver. That's the second one. In the same session 830 News embargo lifts. That starts
630 |498 |01:30:44 ~-~-> 01:30:53 |technically the morning session. Like you're in there watching what you can do, based on the news drivers that coming up at that time, then you have another one
631 |499 |01:30:53 ~-~-> 01:31:05 |at 10 o'clock. So we already had sentiment in the marketplace from London. And from yesterday, it's been what short term bullish. And then we had 830 News and
632 |500 |01:31:05 ~-~-> 01:31:17 |that were higher even still. Now we have the opening validate at 930. We've cleared the buy side, we've killed the shorts. Now. short sellers that want to
633 |501 |01:31:17 ~-~-> 01:31:20 |sell on the breakout, they now have been engaged right here
634 |502 |01:31:33 ~-~-> 01:31:40 |I'm going to take this rectangle off because it's already done. What I need to do and I'm going to take this off because it's already served its purpose. So
635 |503 |01:31:40 ~-~-> 01:31:44 |I'm going to show you this is where
636 |504 |01:31:50 ~-~-> 01:31:52 |buyside is at the moment
637 |505 |01:32:18 ~-~-> 01:32:21 |What's it consequent Question of the week
638 |506 |01:32:34 ~-~-> 01:32:38 |we want to see a close above that. If it closes above that will expect follow through.
639 |507 |01:32:52 ~-~-> 01:33:08 |The reaction off of that Fairbury got right there. I mentioned that in itself is a high frequency trade. Look at the candles low up here right up here. This
640 |508 |01:33:08 ~-~-> 01:33:24 |candles low is 14,009 85.75. The low that candle comes in at exactly at that price. That's perfect. What did I tell you? Who was who was put in the
641 |509 |01:33:24 ~-~-> 01:33:34 |marketplace below here? shorts that want to sell on? What? Stop? When's the market gonna chop where you can't trade it unless you know what you're looking
642 |510 |01:33:34 ~-~-> 01:33:43 |for? How are you going to get hurt? When is it going to be consolidation that we'll get the live streamers complaining about oh, this chop is killing us. It's
643 |511 |01:33:43 ~-~-> 01:33:52 |beating us up. It's this you have to know when these days are going to form. You have to know when it's likely to form. So that way you don't fall victim to it.
644 |512 |01:34:05 ~-~-> 01:34:20 |To me the way you would use this one here is the same way. I mentioned earlier. As it hit down here. It's taking sellside these lows here chained down to the
645 |513 |01:34:20 ~-~-> 01:34:30 |fair value gap that I outlined real time beforehand, and then it stops right to the tick turns around and runs consequent encouragement. It doesn't need to take
646 |514 |01:34:30 ~-~-> 01:34:44 |this higher. Is there enough range in there to take 10 handles out? Yes. Is it something you should trade today? No. But it's something you can journal you can
647 |515 |01:34:44 ~-~-> 01:34:46 |observe it you can log it
648 |516 |01:34:59 ~-~-> 01:35:08 |if you're Following along today, and this is not one of those exciting lessons where I explained something beforehand the market explodes and moves in
649 |517 |01:35:08 ~-~-> 01:35:19 |directional bias and at a fevered pace, getting there. But this is the stuff that you want to learn. This is the stuff that I wade through. And I don't talk
650 |518 |01:35:19 ~-~-> 01:35:30 |about on Twitter. We don't ever see these types of conditions. When I'm chit chatting, and con, a specific loot move, or a level. It's never in these
651 |519 |01:35:30 ~-~-> 01:35:39 |conditions. Have you noticed that? Because that's the key takeaway this morning. Why am I so accurate, because I don't talk about the times when it's like this,
652 |520 |01:35:39 ~-~-> 01:35:50 |because it's, it's what it's much more difficult. It's 5051 way or the other, it could do either one of them. And you don't want to be in a situation like that
653 |521 |01:35:50 ~-~-> 01:35:56 |risking real money, you want it to be so one sided, that it's obvious for you to expect it to behave a specific way.
654 |522 |01:36:11 ~-~-> 01:36:20 |Now, if it was another day, not Friday, and we didn't have the 10 o'clock news, I will be selling short right there. Soon as I hit that low right there, I would
655 |523 |01:36:20 ~-~-> 01:36:31 |have done it, they're looking for a run below here, first partial and then look to see if it could it celery. Not saying you should do that. If you remember
656 |524 |01:36:31 ~-~-> 01:36:39 |what I just said I said if it were not Friday, if it was like Thursday or any other day, based on this, and we didn't have the 10 O'Clock News looming. I
657 |525 |01:36:39 ~-~-> 01:36:47 |would trust that right there as an immediate rebalance. And look for lower prices. But based on everything I've outlined here, that's why I'm on the brake
658 |526 |01:36:47 ~-~-> 01:36:56 |pedal. I'm not even the the engines not running today, like it's in neutral Park, whatever it is, the keys are in the house. I'm not driving today, I'm just
659 |527 |01:36:56 ~-~-> 01:37:07 |sitting here talking about something over to charts with you, hopefully, reaching you and giving you a reason to not want to feel like you gotta be doing
660 |528 |01:37:07 ~-~-> 01:37:19 |something every single time. Because if you don't know what you're looking for, or if you can't identify quicksand, you'll fall victim to it. Now, any day by
661 |529 |01:37:19 ~-~-> 01:37:30 |Friday, without that looming 10 O'Clock News, if I saw this price action right here, I would not be interested in holding the trade the short that I would have
662 |530 |01:37:30 ~-~-> 01:37:42 |used at the immediate rebalance there, I would kill it. Because it's already traded above equilibrium of the range, I don't want to see that. Because it can
663 |531 |01:37:42 ~-~-> 01:37:53 |trade that quickly active the middle part of it, or equilibrium, then it can easily punch through good VLSI. So these are all things that not think about
664 |532 |01:37:53 ~-~-> 01:38:01 |what I've already talked about. And you're going to want to watch this video a few times this weekend and go on in the future. Because these are things that
665 |533 |01:38:01 ~-~-> 01:38:11 |they can't be taught in a book. And I can't teach it in a five minute video. Like it's impossible, nobody can condense everything that I'm covering here in a
666 |534 |01:38:11 ~-~-> 01:38:19 |small little sample set of choice words and then then you're going to understand it, it doesn't work like that. I wish it could save me a whole lot of time.
667 |535 |01:38:44 ~-~-> 01:39:00 |So in here, all this price action back and forth. The only thing I'm looking at, and I don't trust it, the only thing I'm seeing is that initial gap here drawn
668 |536 |01:39:00 ~-~-> 01:39:06 |out and time if they keep using that, I don't trust that they want to keep going lower because in my mind this should have already went down below that low
669 |537 |01:39:16 ~-~-> 01:39:29 |just feels like they're descending it lower to get people wanting to go lower. And every time they go lower, more people are going short that this builds the
670 |538 |01:39:29 ~-~-> 01:39:39 |buy side bigger so this is like in my mind, I see it as engineering more liquidity above the highs
671 |539 |01:39:46 ~-~-> 01:39:57 |all things equal. If you hadn't trade, I'm sorry if you haven't had a trade today. That's good. But if you sat down your charts and you saw this right now,
672 |540 |01:39:58 ~-~-> 01:40:06 |would you feel inspired to trade If not, don't look at it like this. Like if you saw it naked, no lines on the chart, would you feel like oh yeah, I definitely
673 |541 |01:40:06 ~-~-> 01:40:16 |want to trade that why? What do you what are you trying to we're trying to do
674 |542 |01:40:21 ~-~-> 01:40:33 |you have to know where these problem areas are, where price will be absolutely manipulated. And I've never seen a book. I've never heard a teacher or author or
675 |543 |01:40:34 ~-~-> 01:40:47 |educator or whatnot. clearly articulate the conditions that would present these very things here, it's not it's not the same as saying okay ahead of FOMC the
676 |544 |01:40:47 ~-~-> 01:40:57 |market can consolidate before everybody knows that like everybody knows that but it doesn't always do that. It doesn't always do that. But whenever there's two
677 |545 |01:40:57 ~-~-> 01:41:08 |market drivers in the same session, I anticipate this type of whipsawing fickle price action where it's just it can trap you in many times what you think is
678 |546 |01:41:08 ~-~-> 01:41:17 |there in a chart the opposite is coming the opposite is gonna spring out there and you're like main and at four o'clock and it's gonna all look obvious to you
679 |547 |01:41:25 ~-~-> 01:41:37 |the people that got short below here want to break below that selling weakness What do you think they're feeling right now? On their on the confidence scale.
680 |548 |01:41:38 ~-~-> 01:41:43 |Did he feel like they're ready to conquer and everything or are they sweating right now
681 |549 |01:41:49 ~-~-> 01:41:58 |remember the run above here the buy stops were used for what the bull flag traders their stop loss is going to be placed where if they get filled on a
682 |550 |01:41:58 ~-~-> 01:42:10 |break above here their stop loss is going to be what below here they got tagged so far nobody's nobody's profitable today. They keep banging both sides, both
683 |551 |01:42:10 ~-~-> 01:42:21 |sides both sides this is seeking destroy for a profile sense. This is seeking destroy and what's going to happen at 10 o'clock the real run to purchase
684 |552 |01:42:21 ~-~-> 01:42:25 |everybody with the majority the liquidity is that's what's gonna materialize
685 |553 |01:42:37 ~-~-> 01:42:46 |if I were to come in here and treat Bone Thugs and harmony patterns and they get caught up in this you find that strange and Weird Al Yankovic.
686 |554 |01:42:52 ~-~-> 01:42:54 |Already get this shit brown just comes off the cuff
687 |555 |01:43:12 ~-~-> 01:43:13 |watching paint dry
688 |556 |01:43:23 ~-~-> 01:43:32 |we're talking about narrative today we're talking about avoiding problematic trading conditions. We're talking about days that have two economic drivers in
689 |557 |01:43:32 ~-~-> 01:43:33 |the same session
690 |558 |01:43:41 ~-~-> 01:43:43 |about them shorts
691 |559 |01:44:01 ~-~-> 01:44:17 |I can't tell you how many times as a 20 year old, I was trading bonds. I was trading currency futures, Deutschmarks, Swiss francs, like all that stuff in
692 |560 |01:44:17 ~-~-> 01:44:32 |when the market would do this man. I would buy then sell them by then sell them by then sell and then boom, the accounts gone. And then later on, when The move
693 |561 |01:44:32 ~-~-> 01:44:39 |comes. I would swear up and down that if they never would have just stopped me out on that last one. I would have been in that movie got it all back. And
694 |562 |01:44:39 ~-~-> 01:44:53 |that's never true. You're lying to yourself. I was lying to myself then and you're lying to yourself when you do that too. Sometimes there are days and
695 |563 |01:44:53 ~-~-> 01:45:01 |sessions that are presented as an opportunity but they're cleverly the skies impossibilities.
696 |564 |01:45:14 ~-~-> 01:45:21 |Teaching when not to trade, that's novel ideas. But that's the lesson you need to learn.
697 |565 |01:45:50 ~-~-> 01:46:03 |Alright, so just a little bit less than 12 minutes to go before we have the 10 o'clock news event. I'm going to break here because as I said, I want to, I want
698 |566 |01:46:03 ~-~-> 01:46:14 |to see it with my own observations. I believe we're going to go above the blue line. And then once we do that, I would like to see it take out the low. have
699 |567 |01:46:14 ~-~-> 01:46:28 |little to say here, although it looks it there you go. Thank you for giving it to me beforehand. Thank you. Thank you there buddy. Who said your name the the
700 |568 |01:46:28 ~-~-> 01:46:37 |shorts have been murdered. The Long's on the breakout, we're not allowed to be profitable. And we're trading up into a shaded area I talked about this morning.
701 |569 |01:46:39 ~-~-> 01:46:50 |Not quite yet. It'll be there. So thank you appreciate you guys. At the exchanges working with me and my scheduled today. I was getting ready to leave
702 |570 |01:46:50 ~-~-> 01:47:00 |them helped me out. So thank you very much. And hopefully you found something in all this insightful hopefully allowed you to understand more about what you
703 |571 |01:47:00 ~-~-> 01:47:09 |should be avoiding. Even behind all the mess in the chop, if you understand what price is likely to do, how it books how the algorithm actually delivers price,
704 |572 |01:47:09 ~-~-> 01:47:21 |how it engages in user sentiment, and in entices traders to do things from a sentiment basis. All those things are narrative. And it's not something in
705 |573 |01:47:21 ~-~-> 01:47:32 |books, it's not something in other people's courses, you have to sit in front of a chart for a long time, months years, and you'll develop the skill set. Do you
706 |574 |01:47:32 ~-~-> 01:47:41 |need to have this much detail in understanding price to be profitable. Now you can have a very simple model like I've been taught. But if you really want to be
707 |575 |01:47:41 ~-~-> 01:47:49 |an ace, and you want to know what you're doing and how to avoid the pitfalls of everybody else out there, and you want to find something that has absolutely
708 |576 |01:47:49 ~-~-> 01:48:01 |unrivaled precision, and sound logic, you found home. Okay. Everything else I'm putting up on the YouTube channel. When I go away in November. None of that is
709 |577 |01:48:01 ~-~-> 01:48:09 |going down. It's for your learning. It's for your edification, and encouraging you to use it, study it, share it with your family members. Have them in your
710 |578 |01:48:09 ~-~-> 01:48:19 |study. If you have a child that you're homeschooling, try to find a way to incorporate some of it. Okay, and start them young and give them a great deal of
711 |579 |01:48:19 ~-~-> 01:48:27 |Headstart, and not just limit them to just whatever the curriculum that you have or what would have been subscribed to you as the curriculum to help build them
712 |580 |01:48:27 ~-~-> 01:48:36 |as a good employee. Teach them a skill set to help them become an independent thinker where they can go out there and act as an entrepreneur. And even without
713 |581 |01:48:36 ~-~-> 01:48:44 |a brick and mortar type business, they can still find a way to carve out their own existence and not limited to whatever someone else would prosecute your time
714 |582 |01:48:44 ~-~-> 01:48:55 |for. So enjoy your weekend. Have a very safe weekend. And I'll be with you all on Twitter in morning tomorrow for a shotgun Saturday, Twitter space. Until next
715 |583 |01:48:55 ~-~-> 01:48:57 |time, be safe
