Transcription

00:00:48 --> 00:00:59 ICT: All right, good afternoon, folks. All right before, before I get started, I'm gonna check Twitter real quick. If you would be so kind as to let me know
00:00:59 --> 00:01:10 that you can hear me, you should be able to see five charts on my screen right now. So if you hear everything fine and the volume is fine, just give me a five
00:01:10 --> 00:01:29 by five and that'll give me a confirmation can hear me. Thank you Gregory. Just want to see one more just to make sure institutional order flow trader, thank
00:01:29 --> 00:01:49 you. Thank you, Destiny. Silent watcher. And Reza, thank you so much. Alright, so I'm gonna get through this as quickly and as painlessly as possible. I have a
00:01:49 --> 00:02:00 lunch the downstairs with my wife. So we're gonna be eating Mediterranean here this afternoon. So Happy Sunday to you hope you're all doing well hope you're in
00:02:00 --> 00:02:10 good spirits. And in good health. We're gonna start with the dollar index, then we'll go into Euro dollar POUND DOLLAR, s&p 500 futures, NASDAQ. And before I
00:02:10 --> 00:02:25 close, I will look at gold. Okay, so let's start with the dollar index here. On the weekly chart, I'm just going to go through it as I talk. This area up here.
00:02:26 --> 00:02:35 I've mentioned this before. So we're working with a virgin chart, everything is fresh, as I would expect, and see if you were not with me like this. And if I
00:02:35 --> 00:02:45 was by myself just looking at things. I'm not annotating the chart this way. But I'm writing down the levels on my notepad meaning that it's this candles low
10 00:02:47 --> 00:02:49 this candles high
11 00:02:54 --> 00:03:00 and the range between those two respective price points
12 00:03:07 --> 00:03:20 which is the consequent coachmen here. So at one zero 8.85, that's consequent encouragement of that severe sell set of balanced by solid efficiency. So that
13 00:03:20 --> 00:03:27 level is on my chart, I'm sorry, it's on my notepad, it's not on my chart to keep my charts clean. And you're probably asking yourself, you know, why do you
14 00:03:27 --> 00:03:36 do that? Why don't you just have them on your chart, because I want to be able to be flexible. And I've learned that if I have the levels on my on my chart, I
15 00:03:36 --> 00:03:45 can tend to marry the idea, especially if it's something I really want to do. Or if it's something I've already talked about openly and publicly shared it. And
16 00:03:46 --> 00:03:58 if I see it on my chart, it's in my subconscious that I want to see it be traded to anyway. So between the two, it might cause me to ignore the real time changes
17 00:03:58 --> 00:04:09 in sentiment, the change in order flow, the narrative may change. And if I don't have them on my charts, it's easier for me to like switch up and change gears in
18 00:04:09 --> 00:04:19 reverse my entire analysis, right there on the spot, which, in the beginning, you shouldn't be wanting to do that. Okay, and when you hear me say that you're
19 00:04:19 --> 00:04:25 thinking, well, that's what I want to be able to do. And if you don't have the experience, what will happen is, is you'll end up trying to change your mind too
20 00:04:25 --> 00:04:34 soon, too many times. And you'll just go back and forth, back and forth. Okay, and really do nothing but just turn your account, run down drawdown in dark mode
21 00:04:34 --> 00:04:46 out. So it's just a means for me to keep myself fluid and not try to marry the idea that I have an interest in a particular level. And I like to keep my charts
22 00:04:46 --> 00:04:56 clean. So there you go. It's also one of the other additional things I'm looking forward to post Nyan and post November 11, where I'm not doing so much
23 00:04:56 --> 00:05:04 engagement all the time, but my personal analysis so you it'll be back to where it used to be for me just using a naked chart and not feeling inclined to tell
24 00:05:04 --> 00:05:15 everyone on the internet what I think's gonna happen. Alright, so that imbalance I had that noted. And going back through price action, we had this small little
25 00:05:15 --> 00:05:24 inefficiency here, it talked about how it could potentially trade back down into that, if we were going to correct it did that when it pass it despite a little
26 00:05:24 --> 00:05:37 bit, that's completely permissible, we're not you making a big deal about that. But there isn't really any inefficiency to speak of beyond that in here. It's a
27 00:05:37 --> 00:05:52 small, little, small little one. But it didn't really quite get into that between this candles high. In that candles low. So we didn't get it, we didn't
28 00:05:52 --> 00:06:04 get below this candles low to even be a factor for it. So it just overshot this gap here. And then we went higher. One of the things that I'm interested in is
29 00:06:04 --> 00:06:20 how we went right back up to previous weeks consequent correction that we see that, so the dollar index went right back up to that level, stopped after going
30 00:06:20 --> 00:06:33 back just a little bit and came off that the high of the week. If we start pressing into it, it would need to close on a daily chart. Okay, and this is a
31 00:06:33 --> 00:06:41 weekly chart, look at an upper left hand corner. That's a weekly chart. So if we look at this in terms of the upper quadrant.
32 00:06:46 --> 00:07:01 Here, if we had a daily close above that 107 point 055. If we have a daily candle close above that, then I would expect it to trade above this high and
33 00:07:01 --> 00:07:14 start working into this inefficiency. As long as we remain below this upper quadrant. This specific 107 point 05. I'm anticipating ranging between the low
34 00:07:14 --> 00:07:28 of last week and that level, that upper quadrant. So in other words, we're looking at this as a range until we get on a closing basis above this particular
35 00:07:28 --> 00:07:38 level here and that close has to be on a daily chart, not a weekly has to be on a daily basis. So when the daily chart, if it were to close above this price
36 00:07:38 --> 00:07:52 level here, then my focus is going to be expecting it to go above and trade up into this area here. Okay. You might be questioning, the question may arise
37 00:07:52 --> 00:08:01 that, okay, what happens if it just goes to that level and keeps on going and takes up that high? Well, then it goes without saying, it still remains the
38 00:08:01 --> 00:08:13 same, I would expect it up here. But for the sake of leaving this pre week open, because right now it's 12:52pm on Sunday, my local time in New York, East Coast
39 00:08:13 --> 00:08:24 time. That is before we have an opening bell or opening session later on a couple hours from it. So I don't know where we're gonna open up that there's a
40 00:08:24 --> 00:08:35 lot of things going on around the world between now and then some unexpected events could unfold, you know, like we saw happen two Fridays ago. Right, a
41 00:08:35 --> 00:08:46 Friday ago, and between Middle East and Gaza. So there's a lot of tension there. And a lot of spillover. It's your potential going into other nations other other
42 00:08:46 --> 00:09:00 countries in all of that concern is ramping up the flight to quality or the safe haven aspect of the dollar index, or the dollar. So the reason why I'm saying
43 00:09:00 --> 00:09:10 that I want to just call the market ranging between these two levels here, this week's that we just closed high in the low that week, we're going to work inside
44 00:09:10 --> 00:09:19 that range until we get a definitive close on a daily basis above this upper quadrant. Ultimately, this is where I believe we're drawn to that I have not
45 00:09:19 --> 00:09:30 caught a top in the dollar index. I'm not trying to do that. We did see it trade up into that level here. And I'll just annotate it with the horizontal line. We
46 00:09:30 --> 00:09:43 saw a trade up into it two weeks ago, hitting it here and then we retraced and then we came right back to consequent encouragement here. So what causes me to
47 00:09:43 --> 00:09:51 call for a trading range environment until there's a definitive close above the upper quadrant? Why did I say that? Because you're probably saying what makes
48 00:09:51 --> 00:09:59 you think that way? ICT, what makes you think that it would do that not just keep on going higher, it can go higher? I prefer that it would, but because I
49 00:09:59 --> 00:10:06 don't know where to go We're going to open up at, and I don't know what's likely to occur because of some kind of terrorist action, you some kind of war
50 00:10:06 --> 00:10:16 response, you all those things are gonna rip up the sentiment ideas and fear and greed will start coming into the marketplace, as we'll talk about with gold
51 00:10:16 --> 00:10:26 later. That makes it a little bit different in terms of a normal market delivery. So there's a whole lot of fear in the marketplace right now. And we're
52 00:10:26 --> 00:10:34 going into the last quarter of the year where markets have a lot more activity. And whoever's trying to make money this year, they're going to try to do
53 00:10:34 --> 00:10:45 whatever they can before the close of the year, because as we get closer to December, that's less likely for new risk to come into marketplace, it's a
54 00:10:45 --> 00:10:56 winding down as we get closer to the second week of December. And then we get start expecting the markets to start to soften up barring any kind of crazy 911
55 00:10:56 --> 00:11:07 esque type event where it would cause market to go haywire. But why the range here because we didn't trade above this weekly high. We went just to consequent
56 00:11:07 --> 00:11:16 growth and just a little bit above it, but failed to get above this high here. And ultimately start with no clothes about the consequent crochet or midpoint of
57 00:11:16 --> 00:11:26 this longest wick. Okay. So if this would have traded and closed above this one here, I would say we're going to roll right into follow through going right from
58 00:11:26 --> 00:11:34 Jump Street Sunday later today. And we would start working towards here and all week long, we would just gravitate up into this area here. But because we did
59 00:11:34 --> 00:11:43 not get above two weeks ago is high. And because we didn't close above consequent question of last week prior to not last week, the week prior to the
60 00:11:43 --> 00:11:55 week, we just closed here. This tends to create a need for consolidation. If I'm wrong, it's no skin off my back. Because either way, I'm subscribing to the idea
61 00:11:55 --> 00:12:06 that the dollar goes higher. Okay, so there's no, there's no plan a plan B, if it goes down, I'm right. I'm saying I want it to go higher, because of the
62 00:12:06 --> 00:12:15 delivery of it not getting above this two weeks ago is high. And the week ago prior to the one we just closed, it didn't close above the midpoint. Can you put
63 00:12:15 --> 00:12:31 this back up here sir, we are following one another here. It should have in my opinion should have closed above this one oh 6.76 It should have it should have
64 00:12:31 --> 00:12:41 closed above that. It didn't it just returned right back to consequently current and came off the highs. But in this run higher, it didn't even get above the
65 00:12:41 --> 00:12:45 high of two weeks prior which is here.
66 00:12:52 --> 00:13:07 Okay, see that. So three weeks ago, it's Hi comes in at 106 Point 839. Cancel consequent correction or this week on that weekly candlestick. Here comes in at
67 00:13:07 --> 00:13:17 106 Point 761, which is lower than the previous week. But the week we just closed wasn't able to close above consequent grocery and it wasn't able to trade
68 00:13:17 --> 00:13:31 above two weeks prior. So it set up a scenario where I could be wrong. It could trade down and go lower. And work inside this area here where I was talking
69 00:13:31 --> 00:13:47 about a little bit ago where it might be that it does this very thing here. This week, I'm not saying that that's going to happen. If it does that I'm wrong. Is
70 00:13:47 --> 00:13:58 that very finite, it's very specific. If it does this, if it trades down to there, then I'm wrong about my pre week opening analysis. So when I'm expecting
71 00:13:58 --> 00:14:06 and when I'm anticipating going into the market before we even see the opening price, later today on Sunday, I'm subscribing to the idea that we're going to
72 00:14:06 --> 00:14:18 remain in this range until something drives us above the upper quadrant of this wick right in here. It has to close on the daily chart. And once it does that,
73 00:14:18 --> 00:14:26 then I'm confident that we're likely to continue higher and then we'll work towards those higher timeframe imbalances or imbalance rather on the weekly
74 00:14:26 --> 00:14:39 chart of NASDAQ, which is this one right up here. Okay, so that's a long way around the barn to explain why I believe what I'm expecting and why I'm
75 00:14:39 --> 00:14:51 comfortable working with this idea will drop down to the daily chart. I promise they will all be that long. Keep talking ICTP talking. Alright, so here we have
76 00:14:51 --> 00:15:07 the daily in that range. And it's nice that we came down took out that cell side here We had a really strong reaction here on Thursday and Friday. And it just,
77 00:15:07 --> 00:15:17 this looks too much like it wants to consolidate a bit more. We have an imbalance right there. So we could drop that into this. I prefer to stay open to
78 00:15:17 --> 00:15:30 be honest with you. So what I'm highlighting here, I'd like to see this state absolutely untouched, not covered up at all, and not repriced, to just simply
79 00:15:30 --> 00:15:34 leave it open as a breakaway gap. That's what I would prefer to see.
80 00:15:44 --> 00:16:00 Why am I drawing a blank here? I don't want to extend the right. So this boss Annabelle sell some efficiency. I want to see it act as a breakaway gap. Meaning
81 00:16:00 --> 00:16:09 that I don't want to see the entirety of that range closed in, can it come back down and touch just below this candles low? Below the one zero 6.78 level? I'm
82 00:16:09 --> 00:16:23 sorry to be below that one, zero 6.29, which is the low of Friday? Can it do that? And then go higher? Yes. I prefer that it didn't. Because I don't know
83 00:16:23 --> 00:16:32 where we're opening on Sunday. And I'm not going to trade on Sunday. And I'm going to trade on Monday without having something that's so obvious. So right
84 00:16:32 --> 00:16:40 now I'm willing to just lay down and not take any action on on Monday. That's I want to see what we do with this new sentiment over the weekend. There was
85 00:16:40 --> 00:16:50 supposed to be some big, you know, response globally. And it was rather new, it wasn't Thankfully, it wasn't a whole lot of things going on. Doesn't mean that
86 00:16:51 --> 00:17:01 it won't happen at a later time, as I believe it will. But it just means that it may have lulled people into thinking that we're okay. There's no There's no
87 00:17:01 --> 00:17:11 reason to be concerned. And people like myself that have been around for a little bit longer than the average person trading today. We know better, we want
88 00:17:11 --> 00:17:23 to see, okay, let the market open up and see what they do with this information. This insight, this new sentiment, this fear grip in the marketplace, when they
89 00:17:24 --> 00:17:35 send it higher in the dollar index signifying that it's flight to quality, it's a safe haven move. I don't know, because we see gold rally. And this is why
90 00:17:35 --> 00:17:44 we'll talk about gold in terms of event driven market. But right now, Dollar Index, it could just hang around inside this range here, it could very well come
91 00:17:44 --> 00:17:55 down in overlap this fair value gap. And guess what that means? It means I'm not taking that as a long idea on dollar and short on euro or cable. Why? Because I
92 00:17:55 --> 00:18:02 want to see it do what did i What did I mentioned on the weekly chart. This is where everybody likes to take things out of context and say, but you said this
93 00:18:02 --> 00:18:13 and you're wrong. No, you're not listening. I'm not interested in taking a trade this week. Until we have a daily close above the upper quadrant on that weekly
94 00:18:13 --> 00:18:25 range that we just showed on the week on that weekly long wick candle two weeks ago. It needs to close on a daily chart above that level. When it does that,
95 00:18:25 --> 00:18:33 then I'm interested in trading, if it goes through it intraday, and it keeps on going higher than that previous week's high two weeks ago, then okay, that's the
96 00:18:33 --> 00:18:43 same thing for me. But the bare minimum is that I want to see that close above the upper quadrant, hold the reins of that weekly wick two weeks ago on the
97 00:18:43 --> 00:18:54 weekly chart. So I don't even care if it drops down into this it doesn't signify for me a buy. It just means Okay, once it gets there. I want to see what it
98 00:18:54 --> 00:19:02 does. I want more information. Why am I doing it because I'm being cautious because I'm going to be risking real money not demo. Okay, and luckily trading
99 00:19:02 --> 00:19:11 and Market Replay I'm going to be doing something with real money. So therefore I want to have a little bit more surety behind all the things that's going on
100 00:19:11 --> 00:19:20 around the world all it takes folks all it takes is for something to blow up in the right place at the right time in the right country and all hell breaks loose
101 00:19:21 --> 00:19:30 and then these markets will start doing things that you've never seen before. So you have to be very cautious there's there's high levels of risk right now that
102 00:19:30 --> 00:19:40 you have to appreciate and you just can't think well and all these things going on causes great market conditions what Yeah, after the event takes place. Yeah,
103 00:19:40 --> 00:19:47 but you don't know what's going to pop off next. So you have to be very careful. Very very careful. So hopefully I made that very clear. Just because if it comes
104 00:19:47 --> 00:19:55 back down here I don't see that as a as a buy for dollar and sell for euro dollar. If it does that I'm willing to let it go without me Not that I'm even
105 00:19:55 --> 00:20:03 trading Forex or or pound dollar euro dollar. But for those that are falling into fiddling for folks that follow me now, but I'm trying to I'm trying to
106 00:20:03 --> 00:20:13 build the audience up with a more gentlemanly traded market, or asset class, which is futures. Even Forex falls away, you will always have index futures to
107 00:20:13 --> 00:20:23 trade and commodity so that that's a market that will ever go away the inbound imbalance trading into it, it's just something for me to watch and see, does it
108 00:20:23 --> 00:20:35 respect it, if it trades below it on a daily chart and closes below this pattern analysis on efficiency, then that means I'm probably going to see a lower run
109 00:20:35 --> 00:20:43 here. And they would need to go through just a very, very small little movement, and then snap back higher, and then still resuming with the idea that if it has
110 00:20:43 --> 00:20:53 a daily close above the upper quadrant of last week's range for two weeks ago, rather, let me go back, I'd probably just confused you, it needs to get above
111 00:20:53 --> 00:21:07 the upper quadrant of that wick right here, which is, again, why I write my levels down. And it needs to close above this price level here, before me to
112 00:21:07 --> 00:21:17 engage anything. Okay, so I've placed a filter on my engagement this week. And unless it does, that, I'm not touching it. What happens if it sells off and goes
113 00:21:17 --> 00:21:28 a lot lower, I've missed it. And I've done nothing with it. And I'm okay with that. How's that for logic? I'm very, very careful right now, because I don't
114 00:21:28 --> 00:21:40 trust that something wild in unexpected going off somewhere won't occur, I believe that will. So because of that, I'm being very cautious about what I'm
115 00:21:40 --> 00:21:48 anticipating. And if it does this very thing here, I will feel confident that it's going to go higher on the dollar. And it might be a short period of time
116 00:21:48 --> 00:21:58 where gold and dollar move together. Which is not historically, what you would expect one goes higher and one goes lower. It's they're usually diametrically
117 00:21:58 --> 00:22:06 opposed. But because we watch Thursday and Friday, Dollar Index, let me just do gold right after dollar, because it's a little bit easier for me to segue. That
118 00:22:06 --> 00:22:13 way I won't forget about because the chances are I might do it, I might get into a rant a little bit after we close up with NASDAQ. And I'll forget and I'll be
119 00:22:13 --> 00:22:23 all upset about it. And I won't be going doing another additional review, I'll just be mad about it. And I'll be tweeting to you about what it is now, I hate
120 00:22:23 --> 00:22:31 my evening because I didn't do what I wanted to do. So we saw Thursday and Friday trade higher with the dollar index. So if we look at Gold break out of
121 00:22:31 --> 00:22:42 this market into what would normally be a diametrically opposed delivery that we're seeing here, see gold and dollar are moving in tandem. That's something
122 00:22:42 --> 00:22:52 that I don't like to see, I'd like to see where there is a diametrically opposed delivery, where a symmetrical market would be where dollar goes lower gold is
123 00:22:52 --> 00:22:59 permitted to go higher, it doesn't mean that it will go higher, it just means that it's the most likely won't go the market down, it can consolidate and
124 00:22:59 --> 00:23:08 slowly work its way higher. But either way, it should not be moving in the same direction. Now, what causes these types of things, it's an event driven market.
125 00:23:09 --> 00:23:20 Gold is highly manipulated. And it's also treated as sometimes as a safe haven market as well. Couple that with the fact that there's central banks around the
126 00:23:20 --> 00:23:29 world that are really trying to build up their gold supplies, because they're going to be doing central bank digital currencies, and they're going to try like
127 00:23:29 --> 00:23:37 the BRICS nation, they're trying to sell the idea that their currency that they're going to release later on, will be a gold backed currency. So it would
128 00:23:37 --> 00:23:46 demolish the dollar because it's really built, it's built and based on an idea that's an illusion. This is what we say it's worth Do you believe us? That's
129 00:23:46 --> 00:23:54 like the honor system? Okay. It's it's not like it used to be when it took us off the gold standard, it became an illusion. And then we created this
130 00:23:54 --> 00:24:01 relationship with Saudi Arabia said, Look, we're going to protect you. As long as you make everyone buy your oil with dollars. Well, there's a departure from
131 00:24:01 --> 00:24:13 that right now. And we're seeing this shift away where Saudi Arabia is now allowing an interest in purchasing their oil outside the dollar. So we've never
132 00:24:13 --> 00:24:24 had that since we came off the dollar index, I'm sorry to take you off the gold standard. When Nixon Nixon when Nixon took us off the gold standard. We
133 00:24:24 --> 00:24:31 basically had an illusion of currency. I mean, they're all illusions, really, if you think about it, but we really had an illusion that there was nothing behind
134 00:24:31 --> 00:24:41 our currency. So we started playing the mafia with Saudi Arabia when nobody was attacking it and said, Hey, look, we're gonna protect you. But in response to
135 00:24:41 --> 00:24:54 that you do us a solid in only sell your oil through dollars. It has to be US dollars. So we've been allowing our own currency to be propped up by the sale of
136 00:24:54 --> 00:25:05 a nother country's commodity. Which when you think about it, when you really can come to terms with it. It's really asinine. Like that's how was that? Like
137 00:25:05 --> 00:25:13 that's that shouldn't have been like that ever. And now, that country is departing from that arrangement, not entirely, but it's allowing. And I think
138 00:25:13 --> 00:25:17 what it's doing, it's got its toe in the water to see, what will we do in response?
139 00:25:18 --> 00:25:31 Well, when we're staring at Russia and China, together in a fortified union, building in opposition to the greenback, or the dollar, we're doing nothing.
140 00:25:31 --> 00:25:38 That's what we're doing, we're sitting back and letting them do whatever they want to do, because we're technically outnumbered. And it's been checkmate for
141 00:25:38 --> 00:25:48 two years now. And nobody really understands that. And all the other nations are slowly siding with as BRICS nations. And you're actually seeing the, the
142 00:25:48 --> 00:25:58 combination of that that last beast that the book of Daniel talks about, and I'm not going to get into that here, but that's what I see happening. And we are in
143 00:25:59 --> 00:26:10 dire straits economically, when that becomes full on. And they released their currency where everybody sees it, it's gold backed, there's nothing holding up
144 00:26:10 --> 00:26:19 our dollar then. And then we will see Venezuela 2.0, right here in the United States. And it's going to happen real fast like that. So because of all those
145 00:26:19 --> 00:26:27 factors that are weighing heavily on my decision making, that's why I'm not also trading in forex, because I think there's going to be the coupling, that's going
146 00:26:27 --> 00:26:37 to happen so sudden, that brokerage firms, financial institutions, banks, traders, they're all going to get destroyed real fast, because it's gonna be
147 00:26:37 --> 00:26:46 just like the Eurodollar, and the Swiss franc. When there was the decoupling that completely, it was like a new nuclear bomb going off. I mean, business as
148 00:26:46 --> 00:26:56 usual after that happened, but it was very scary, seeing huge runs 1000, Pip swings instantaneously, you're not ready for that. I don't care if you're
149 00:26:56 --> 00:27:06 trading on that account, you think you're safe, and all those things won't be around after that. That's what I'm trying to explain to you like that I'm not
150 00:27:06 --> 00:27:16 willing to invest in forex, because of that very thing that's looming. That's not to say that that can't create reverberations and ripples so large that they
151 00:27:16 --> 00:27:30 wouldn't be painful in futures, or commodities. Or, well, I said at index futures, when bond market, they'll have them too, but currencies are the, that's
152 00:27:30 --> 00:27:40 where the target is right now. Target is currencies, they want to have a smaller basket to choose from in terms of currencies. And the first thing they want to
153 00:27:40 --> 00:27:49 take away is the dollar in the influence that we've had over everyone else's nation in tried to be the world bliss, and use it like a sharp stick and say,
154 00:27:49 --> 00:28:01 You better do this or else. And now all these other nations that are just as powerful, if not now more powerful than us, because they've outnumbered us. On
155 00:28:01 --> 00:28:11 the chessboard, there's too many superpowers that are standing against us an opposition saying we don't need your dollar. And the average person isn't aware
156 00:28:11 --> 00:28:17 of that they don't think that way. Because they have their dollars coming to them and their paycheck, even though it's more expensive to buy everything.
157 00:28:17 --> 00:28:25 That's the extent of their visibility, they don't see anything past that. So there's a lot of concern that L of you should have, and you should be trying to
158 00:28:25 --> 00:28:36 do whatever you can to fortify your home with things that you may need, because our currency could be devalued, rather quickly. And what you think you have in
159 00:28:36 --> 00:28:48 the bank, versus what you actually had to spend with it is totally two different things. And that's further communicated, given the total global climate where we
160 00:28:48 --> 00:29:02 are, there's a lot of saber rattling war talk amongst nations, and gold rallying up like that, while the dollar is going higher, too. So I want to see what
161 00:29:02 --> 00:29:14 continues on Monday, Sunday night a little bit later today, when we see the market open up, does gold go higher? Does dollar go higher? Because one of the
162 00:29:14 --> 00:29:28 two is going to not do it. That one's going to give up. And I'm, I'm thinking that at least for the first couple of days, gold will continue higher, and
163 00:29:28 --> 00:29:38 dollar can consolidate. Now you see why it said all I said about the dollar index, and I just can't simply say it in a five second. Next pose I have what it
164 00:29:38 --> 00:29:48 is. I'm contemplating. There's a lot of factors that weigh on why I said the very things I said in just a few minutes of talking about I want to see it stay
165 00:29:48 --> 00:29:57 in a range where I mean, I mean anticipating it staying in range, but my focus is what we're seeing in gold, because gold is going to be the catalyst behind
166 00:29:58 --> 00:30:08 the follow through higher on that Dollar, or if it's continuing higher for gold, and gold wants to run for the buy side here. If it wants to run there, that
167 00:30:08 --> 00:30:19 means that it might cause dollar to stay in that range outlined. And then once it gets here, does it power higher? If it does, then it's going to probably send
168 00:30:19 --> 00:30:27 that dollar index down into that daily fair value go, which again, still would not mean a buy for me, I would need to weigh out what gold is doing, at the same
169 00:30:27 --> 00:30:37 time that the dollar index is dropping down into that daily fair value. Okay, so there's there's this teeter totter effect, I'm balancing out to markets that are
170 00:30:37 --> 00:30:45 closely correlated, but they're usually inversely correlated, meaning one goes up, the other goes down. But because of all the things that's going on, right
171 00:30:45 --> 00:30:54 now, they're moving in tandem. That's not a normal function or symmetrical market, you want to see a market environment where you're willing to take one
172 00:30:54 --> 00:31:03 risk, where they're doing the opposite of one another. That is a symmetrical market, that means everything is on on the level, meaning that if you're bullish
173 00:31:03 --> 00:31:12 on dollar, that should be weakness on gold, or there should be no strength and gold going higher. And all foreign currencies should move lower equity should
174 00:31:12 --> 00:31:20 start going lower and have a short lived rally, if it does rally there suspect rallies or fake rallies, or just going up to go into an inefficiency and quickly
175 00:31:20 --> 00:31:28 rejected or go up above the short term high, then reject it. That's how you use the dollar index. But just because we're bullish or bearish on the dollar index,
176 00:31:28 --> 00:31:38 if you're not factoring in the effects of gold, because gold is the qualifier of dollar. So you're not just simply looking at Dollar Index and thinking oh, well,
177 00:31:39 --> 00:31:47 we're going higher, you can't just look at Dollar Index going up and assume everything else mark to market should go lower. It doesn't it doesn't work like
178 00:31:47 --> 00:31:57 that. forex pairs and forex currencies, those those types of markets, yes. They many times will work mark for market, you mark to market, it'd be usually on
179 00:31:57 --> 00:32:08 par. Euro for certain because the dollar is heavily weighted with the euro. But other currencies like the pound, tend to do whatever it wants to do. Pound is
180 00:32:08 --> 00:32:21 like the NASDAQ of forex. Yeah, it might bend the knee to, you know, lower prices on whole, but it's going to book back when it wants to and be unruly. And
181 00:32:21 --> 00:32:30 also when it does move, it's going to move at an accelerated pace, just like tabled us cables POUND DOLLAR. So when the markets predisposed to go higher or
182 00:32:30 --> 00:32:40 lower relative to the dollar index going higher or lower. Euro is tending to move mark to market with what the dollar index does. But if it's bearish for
183 00:32:40 --> 00:32:50 Euro bullish for $1. Cable can over deliver and be exaggerated to the downside, which is when I was trading Forex, that's why I liked it more times than trade
184 00:32:50 --> 00:33:00 the POUND DOLLAR, then the euro, euro tend to be a little too slow for my liking, which is why I trade NASDAQ more so than I trade the ES, even though
185 00:33:00 --> 00:33:12 they should move in tandem. With my overall macro analysis, I tend to use the NASDAQ because if I'm on side and I'm correct, the moves can be exaggerated in
186 00:33:12 --> 00:33:20 my favor. Now, it's a double edged sword because if I'm wrong in my analysis, if I'm wrong in my entry, that means I'm going to sit through a little bit more
187 00:33:20 --> 00:33:29 drawdown or have a larger loss than that would have been taken if I would have traded simply the ES because it's gonna be a slower market. But each one of them
188 00:33:29 --> 00:33:37 have their inherent risks and their own characteristics. And I like to be in a market that's going to be the exaggeration, the one that does more than you
189 00:33:37 --> 00:33:45 would expect. That's always a good thing. So anyway, that's enough for gold. That's what I'm using it for. That's how I'm interpreting it. That's how I'm
190 00:33:45 --> 00:33:54 used the gold in the analysis of dollar before we got to this market here. So now there's no necessity for me to go back dollar. I've closed that chapter and
191 00:33:54 --> 00:34:12 I've talked about gold. So now we can go into Euro. Alright, so here is the weekly chart of Euro dollar or fiber. And let's zoom in here a little bit. I
192 00:34:12 --> 00:34:19 hope that made sense. I mean, I know some of you are really, really new. And it might have went over your head or a little bit confusing, but I promise you,
193 00:34:19 --> 00:34:29 it's it's not all that complicated. But knowing or having the experience to anticipate these types of things. It's not reasonable to expect a new trader to
194 00:34:29 --> 00:34:39 think that way. Because no one's actively teaching that part of it. I mean, everybody knows that dollar up, is risk off and everything else should go down.
195 00:34:39 --> 00:34:47 But it's not simply limited to that. There's a whole lot of other things that have to come along with that. And in my experience with a lot of books, you
196 00:34:47 --> 00:34:57 know, reading stuff that really is regurgitation. I didn't find a lot of value in that stuff. So there's a whole lot of other factors that aren't ever really
197 00:34:57 --> 00:35:06 discussed that I just shared with you. So hopefully you'll You carry you through your career with help. So he had this volume imbalance, we traded up into that
198 00:35:06 --> 00:35:15 artist, all old news and then moved lower. We went below here, these relatively equal lows we had sell side taken, I did not say that we were at the bottom.
199 00:35:16 --> 00:35:31 In the same thing I'm saying in terms of the dollar index, I think that we gradually move higher on dollar. But as to what catalysts. That is the, what's
200 00:35:31 --> 00:35:40 the driver, because if we start seeing a lot of terrorist attacks, if we start seeing a lot of those things happening in mainland us, the dollar index is going
201 00:35:40 --> 00:35:52 to go parabolic look, it's going to go straight up. And that also might accompany a rise parabolic in gold. If we see those types of things occurring,
202 00:35:52 --> 00:36:00 like buses being blown up, buildings being blown up new things happening in the New York Stock Exchange, or near the New York Stock Exchange, or army bases,
203 00:36:00 --> 00:36:09 military bases and things that nature or large gatherings of people, okay, and we start seeing the stuff that goes on in Gaza, and Israel, if that starts
204 00:36:09 --> 00:36:21 happening here, that's going to cause so much chaos and fear. And these markets will rev that up. And then it'll exaggerate it, and cause people to be fearful
205 00:36:21 --> 00:36:35 about their money. And that's what, that's what it'll be used for. So if we get all those things happening, Euro could accelerate rather quickly, right down
206 00:36:35 --> 00:36:52 into this area here. Ultimately, before the end of the year, I think we're going to trade into this. Yeah, that was my quarterly shift. Analysis, I was expecting
207 00:36:52 --> 00:37:01 this type of thing to occur, I'm still selling the idea that that's what I believe is likely to occur. I believe that the dollar index will go up into the
208 00:37:01 --> 00:37:12 inefficiency I mentioned. So between both of those two markets, we're seeing where I shouldn't have this color, because it doesn't stay with this, the
209 00:37:12 --> 00:37:25 historical use of the colors. So I think that if we have a ramp up of violence and things that are hopefully not going to happen, but if it does, that's going
210 00:37:25 --> 00:37:36 to cause the markets to go through a state of panic. And panic will be accelerated by the fast delivery in the markets. And they will use that going
211 00:37:36 --> 00:37:45 into next year. So how they, how they be in the market makers, the central banks, that's, that's who the market makers are, okay, so you want to know who
212 00:37:45 --> 00:37:53 they are, it's them. So when that happens, if it does happen, we'll be looking for euro to try to trade down into this area here, doesn't mean it won't go here
213 00:37:53 --> 00:38:02 and stop, it just means that I see it wanting to get down here. Okay, in this area. And because of all the things that's going on in the world, it could be
214 00:38:02 --> 00:38:13 delivered rather quickly. So everything I just mentioned with the dollar, early on, just apply that to this in terms of expectations, but just reverse it in
215 00:38:13 --> 00:38:19 terms of the direction because we're I'm expecting higher dollar, I'm not expecting lower dollar I'm not calling a top and Dollar Index. With all the
216 00:38:19 --> 00:38:29 things going on around the world, there's absolutely zero reason to anticipate or expect a high in the dollar to be formed period. Right, so the here's the
217 00:38:29 --> 00:38:46 daily chart on Euro. And there's no there's no inefficiency in here. that I feel is noteworthy to anticipate a a retracement down then go higher. Normally, okay,
218 00:38:46 --> 00:39:00 let's say it this way, we could see this this low, high, lower low. If we're in a bullish market, if we're in a bullish condition where dollar is absolutely
219 00:39:00 --> 00:39:12 bearish, then this run up here above this high. This would have been viewed by me as a shift in market structure. Okay, for the folks that asked this question
220 00:39:12 --> 00:39:19 a lot, what's the difference between a shift in market structure and just a run on stops? Well, you have to have a macro understanding of where the markets
221 00:39:19 --> 00:39:27 likely to go. And that's what I've spent the most time so far discussing today. What is the underlying narrative that I think is going to be implemented or what
222 00:39:27 --> 00:39:35 I'm going to submit myself to, and if it does this, then I'll engage this week. If it doesn't do these types of things that I'm looking for. I will be they'll
223 00:39:35 --> 00:39:41 have nothing to share with you. I won't be able to say here's a trade I took I won't be able to do any of that stuff. I won't be able to point to anything on
224 00:39:41 --> 00:39:50 Twitter beforehand, like you see me do it every single week and it happens. I'm going to be reserved and quiet. Because I want to be watching and seeing what
225 00:39:50 --> 00:40:03 takes place geopolitically on the waterfront. What's going on over Gaza? What's going on with Iran? What's going on with All the other Arab nations, I'm
226 00:40:03 --> 00:40:09 watching all that that's where my focus is. My students, I've been telling them watch the Middle East, because that's what's coming. Well, now we are we're
227 00:40:09 --> 00:40:17 boiling over now. That pot is boiling over, and all of us are gonna get burned by it. Just because we live on the other side of the road doesn't mean anything.
228 00:40:18 --> 00:40:24 Think about how many people have come through our southern border, we don't know what's going on. We don't know what's going to pop off here. But it could get
229 00:40:24 --> 00:40:34 real busy here real quick. And that could speed up a whole lot of fear in the marketplace. And they will use and capitalize on that fear and reprice
230 00:40:34 --> 00:40:42 aggressively way beyond what you expect, way, way, way beyond what you would expect in terms of your targets. So it's also occurring at a time of the year
231 00:40:42 --> 00:40:55 when there's larger range expansions. Anyway. There's bigger movements in these months going into the end of the year. So if we had a bullish dollar, I'm sorry,
232 00:40:55 --> 00:41:04 if we had a bearish dollar. And all factors that I mentioned, outlined here, were not so and it was expected to go lower for the dollar index, this would
233 00:41:04 --> 00:41:18 have been a bullish breakout, it would have never went this low. Now, because there is this small old gap right there. Yours for your notes. That little
234 00:41:18 --> 00:41:20 inefficiency right there.
235 00:41:26 --> 00:41:36 Right now that's a keyed off on me, I have to put this border on it. Because if I don't do it, it's gonna drive me nuts. So this inefficiency, we traded down
236 00:41:36 --> 00:41:45 into it there, okay, this a little bit past the midpoint or consequent encroachment of it. When it's like this, and I, I'm expecting the dollar to
237 00:41:45 --> 00:41:51 continue higher, it may need to consolidate a little bit. But ultimately, I think he's gonna go higher, because there's no reason for anything to be
238 00:41:51 --> 00:41:58 expected to smooth out like the stuff that's going over Israel and Gaza, that's not going to go away anytime soon. Like there's a lot of anger and a lot of pent
239 00:41:58 --> 00:42:10 up hostility, and retributions are sought after. So that stuff's just beginning. And because of that, I don't think that we're out of the woods yet in terms of
240 00:42:10 --> 00:42:19 the dollar going higher, because we'll be treated as a safe haven. So if we are long term bullish on dollar, but just expecting some, you know, initial early
241 00:42:19 --> 00:42:30 week consolidation, early week of this coming weeks, I mean, then hopefully, we start seeing the dollar index resumed going higher, because that's the catalyst.
242 00:42:31 --> 00:42:43 And the narrative, I think is in play, or potentially in play this week. All of this movement here above this high, wouldn't have never had me going in looking
243 00:42:43 --> 00:42:53 for this as a bullish breaker because we have the low, high lower low, we moved above it is a shift in market structure. No, there's no fair value gap in here,
244 00:42:53 --> 00:43:02 because we've had all this overlap. Candlestick running all the way over top, this range here. This candle here overlapped most of the upper portion of this
245 00:43:02 --> 00:43:11 wick here. Then this candle, we went down a little bit and then went higher. So there's a whole lot of back and forth movement across this candle, this candle,
246 00:43:11 --> 00:43:19 this candle, this candle and this candle. Now, we're dropping to me, I think this is a meaningful drop, because I think we're going to go lower, and take
247 00:43:19 --> 00:43:31 that low out. But since there's only this gap here, we went over top of it here, we overlapped it right? There went through it. Does that mean it's gone? No
248 00:43:31 --> 00:43:39 longer considered worthy? No, it means that my eye jumps right to this. And this becomes a potential inversion fair value gap.
249 00:43:48 --> 00:44:02 Meaning that I'm anticipating I'm expecting it to do a move lower, come back up and treat it as resistance. I'd like to see if it retraces back up into it. I
250 00:44:02 --> 00:44:14 would like to see it stop at the halfway point after moving below it. If it does that, then I'm really really bullish on dollar. Then I'll be really, really
251 00:44:14 --> 00:44:26 looking for shorts in NASDAQ. See how everything is blended together with this that the whole explanation about what I'm looking for? Why I'm thinking it why I
252 00:44:26 --> 00:44:36 suspect it why I'm cautious. What am I specifically waiting for that experience? That's knowing what to do with the models that's also knowing and trusting
253 00:44:36 --> 00:44:47 myself as a as an individual, and also respecting in the increased measure of risk right now. I'm okay with letting a price run happen on a Sunday. If we get
254 00:44:47 --> 00:44:57 an extreme gap opening somewhere and it starts running a lot. Who cares? I don't care. I don't need that to be profitable. I don't need that define me as a good
255 00:44:57 --> 00:45:06 trader. You don't either. You want to be able trading, you want to be able to trade and trade in high probability conditions where the risk is realistic and
256 00:45:06 --> 00:45:18 manageable, not infinite, you don't know where it's gonna go. Like your risk right now, if you carried over long or short from Friday, you have no idea where
257 00:45:18 --> 00:45:29 we're opening up. That's gap risk. I don't want gap risk right now. And when I trade, I don't trade with micro lots, okay, I'm trading where if I'm wrong, and
258 00:45:29 --> 00:45:38 we get a lot against me, that could, that could be a lot of money. And I don't want to have a lot of money taken from me, in a condition where I have no
259 00:45:38 --> 00:45:49 control. I have no control of where we're opening up a new week. So I teach my students to know that there's no mechanism, there's nothing I have as a tool or
260 00:45:49 --> 00:46:02 a repertoire. No, no outgrow No, no algo, no macro, no secret little thing, I'm never going to make public I have zero, tool for the opening price of the new
261 00:46:02 --> 00:46:12 week, I don't have that, that's always going to remain a mystery, I'm not gonna be able to figure that out. I tried, I don't know how to do it. So I no longer
262 00:46:12 --> 00:46:21 invest any time and energy into it. I've wasted a lot of money, trying to trade with real things to build what I thought was a model and they didn't hold up. So
263 00:46:21 --> 00:46:31 I'm convinced that that's not a worthwhile venture to try to dig into figuring out, it's not necessary. Once it opens, and then now we have information, we can
264 00:46:31 --> 00:46:42 worry about what it does after the opening price is made, and where we closed the previous week. So that's your opening range, new week opening up. So a long
265 00:46:42 --> 00:46:51 way around the barn to say that discuss this gap is here. We've already went through it here, we went down into it here. So if we go through it once more, I
266 00:46:51 --> 00:47:02 want to see it respect the midpoint of it and not trade up to the upper high. It can it can do that. But why would I not want to see it trading the upper portion
267 00:47:02 --> 00:47:14 of it? Because it would imply that it's exceedingly weak. Meaning that if we trade down on Sunday or Monday, rather, and we get back up into in touch the low
268 00:47:14 --> 00:47:29 of this inefficiency, which is this daily high up to the midpoint, which I'll actually give you a level. I'm so nice, no extra charge. How about that. So the
269 00:47:29 --> 00:47:45 the level here at 1.1 Point 04969. So let's call it 97 104 97. So as long as it gets to or in remains below one or 4.97. If it starts to drop there, I will
270 00:47:45 --> 00:47:55 trust that it will remain weak, because I'll treat the upper portion of it as a same way I would do with a breakaway gap, it would imply exceedingly weakness.
271 00:47:56 --> 00:48:06 And I would be bullish on dollar. And therefore I would look at every rally in NASDAQ as a suspect rally to fade that. And then every time it creates a new
272 00:48:06 --> 00:48:16 fair value gap, that would be a short I would be confident doing that. So I've already literally outlined everything that I would like for this week, what
273 00:48:16 --> 00:48:28 would constitute a high probability scenario, what am I waiting specifically for? It's not random. It's very specific things. And then unless it does these
274 00:48:28 --> 00:48:36 types of things, I would not take any action on it. And regardless of whatever the market does, I can be comfortable and not have any FOMO. I'm not fearing I'm
275 00:48:36 --> 00:48:44 missing out on any of these moves that takes place. Because what I framed out is what I'm comfortable with and incurring risk around that is acceptable thing for
276 00:48:44 --> 00:48:54 me. These things may not be what you're subscribing to, it may not even be your model, you may have something entirely different that you're trading with. And
277 00:48:54 --> 00:49:02 you think that what I just outlined here, makes no sense to you and you wouldn't use it. That's your business. You're welcome to have that. But for me, for me to
278 00:49:02 --> 00:49:09 have something where I'm going to show you an example, this is what I did. This is how I use the information I've talked about on Sunday before the market
279 00:49:09 --> 00:49:19 opened up because you see right here, we're doing this live it's New York local time. It's 1:34pm. The market has not opened up yet. I'm cosigning all this
280 00:49:19 --> 00:49:30 before it happens. I don't know if I'm going to be correct. But notice this, I am disarming everyone. There's nothing to hold on to to be right or wrong right
281 00:49:30 --> 00:49:40 now because I have laid down the foundations about what it is I want to do to trade anything this week. If it doesn't do it all this week, guess what happens?
282 00:49:40 --> 00:49:47 I've taken no trades. Are you willing to go through an entire week without the injury? Chances are you're probably not because you're all hopped up on
283 00:49:47 --> 00:49:55 goofballs, like you're you're gambling. Like you're trying to do something because you have time to do it. I want to trade because I want to make money. I
284 00:49:55 --> 00:50:05 want to sleep at night knowing that what I'm about to do and take a trade on it It's reasonable, that risk is reasonable. If I'm risking $6,000 on a position
285 00:50:05 --> 00:50:16 that might seems that might seem crazy to you. But that $6,000, if I do a double portion of that same trade, it might be a $12,000 risk, my stop loss could be
286 00:50:16 --> 00:50:27 $12,000 in the size of my position. But I'm comfortable taking on that risk. You can't even trade that in months of profit. But that's a trade that I'm willing
287 00:50:27 --> 00:50:37 to accept. If given these types of parameters, if they're met this way, I can take a trade like that and feel confident that I can get 50,000 75,000 out of
288 00:50:37 --> 00:50:47 the market off of that move. So everything's relative, everything is a matter of what, what fits you. But everything I just said can be scaled down to you this
289 00:50:47 --> 00:50:59 week, you could use everything on this outline in the scope of a micro lot. The smallest of you know the the profit and loss potential that's given to you by
290 00:50:59 --> 00:51:08 the risk and leverage that you use, whether it be Forex or futures, you have to scale it for what you're what you're comfortable with. For me, because I know
291 00:51:08 --> 00:51:19 there's a likelihood of a lot of excitement, a lot of big moves can happen. I'm not just going to sit down and wait for something just feels right. I need to
292 00:51:19 --> 00:51:26 know that I'm using the higher timeframes, I know that I'm referring to and conferring with other markets that are indicating something else excited. And,
293 00:51:27 --> 00:51:38 you know, there's a lot of fever around fear right now, gold and our move together. So I want to see which one continues from Sunday's opening into
294 00:51:38 --> 00:51:47 Monday's trading and how we close on Monday, I'll have more insights about that. And then I guess, Monday, I'll do a review again, on YouTube. And then we'll
295 00:51:47 --> 00:51:55 revisit all these things I've mentioned here and how it relates to or if it's been negated by something else that takes place because again, anything can pay,
296 00:51:55 --> 00:52:04 anything could pop off and change everything in this outline. But you have to have something in mind what you permit yourself to assume as risk. Because if
297 00:52:04 --> 00:52:11 you don't do that, you're just going to chase price, you're going to jump around from one model to the next or one approach to the next, Chase somebody else's
298 00:52:11 --> 00:52:18 opinion, but it'd be my opinion number, or fade something else, you're not going to know what you're doing, you're just going to be doing something for the sake
299 00:52:18 --> 00:52:30 of doing it, versus investing with a logic behind what it is you're doing, but also comfortably accepting the risk. So if I'm wrong, I am accepting the fact
300 00:52:30 --> 00:52:38 that I'm wrong. If I if I take the trade based on the things I'm sharing, I'm okay being wrong. In that case, it doesn't change my opinion about what I'm
301 00:52:38 --> 00:52:48 using to trade with doesn't hurt my feelings, I don't get mad and go out there and go raging. I'm just simply focusing on what I believe would be the best of
302 00:52:48 --> 00:52:57 the best for me going forward this week. And I'll just outline that for you. Okay. So if we miss this drop down to an hourly chart, I'll just do a full room.
303 00:53:01 --> 00:53:15 Right. So I like the idea of the sell side here. You see how nice that is. It's real obvious in there like that. So at some point, I want to see us work below
304 00:53:15 --> 00:53:27 that this week. Depending on where we open up on Sunday, there's a little bit of a range, there's not a lot. Actually, it's not much at all. That's Forex, I'm
305 00:53:27 --> 00:53:37 thinking I'm looking at a futures. But that might be our initial draw. And then down here, I like that as well. So those are two levels
306 00:53:37 --> 00:53:50 I'd be looking for. I like how we went up, traded into this breaker. Here we have high low, higher high the down close candle trade up into that with a city.
307 00:53:50 --> 00:54:02 This candle here is a city. Then we sold off smaller one inefficiency we traded up into that here. And I'd like to see it remain heavy with $1 that doesn't want
308 00:54:02 --> 00:54:10 to go lower. And that would allow for a year to trade down in the sell side liquidity. If we do rally. There's a little bit of clean this in here. You see
309 00:54:10 --> 00:54:25 how these are just a little too smooth for my liking. If dollar runs lower, say it sharply runs lower into that daily inefficiency outline for dollar. We could
310 00:54:25 --> 00:54:36 see the Euro dollar come back up and wipe out this area here because this would be trailed by stops on shorts. And getting about these by stops here goes right
311 00:54:36 --> 00:54:43 into this inefficiency right there. So for the dollar, I'm not going to going lower than dollar I'm not going to go any lower than the hourly chart I
312 00:54:43 --> 00:54:55 apologize. This area here are two premium arrays that are if we see that drop in dollar we'll see Euro trade up into these levels here. So if you're going to be
313 00:54:55 --> 00:55:05 a scalper and you're not using what I'm outlining here and waiting for just that If we get a drop in dollar, and you can see it trading towards that daily
314 00:55:05 --> 00:55:15 inefficiency. This is where the draw is on euro for the retracement idea. Even if it does this here, it doesn't upset the idea of what I've outlined earlier.
315 00:55:16 --> 00:55:23 Because ultimately I think the dollar goes higher. So we could see it go up here, upset that and then slowly drift down and then later in the week,
316 00:55:23 --> 00:55:38 aggressively run for sale sign here, here. And then you know what we get after this, we'll get it. So let's close this one go to cable real quick. If you're
317 00:55:38 --> 00:55:52 finding this helpful, insightful. appreciate if you give a thumbs up, that's my little indication that you're receiving from me and not not just wasting time
318 00:55:52 --> 00:56:00 talking about something, if you're getting some value from it. That's the report card, you get me. That's our currency here. It doesn't cost you anything to do
319 00:56:00 --> 00:56:14 it. There's no power required. So we have an inefficiency here on the weekly chart. We traded up into that last week. And we'll get more detail.
320 00:56:20 --> 00:56:32 Okay, so we have an old low in here, you should have entered the inefficiency in old low, traded up into any movement right back down into this area here. So if
321 00:56:32 --> 00:56:42 we look at the consequent encroach on that wick, or I guess it would be called the tail, we didn't quite get down into it to see that. So I would want to see s
322 00:56:42 --> 00:56:56 go into this and have a close, same thing, just reverse it now. I want to see it close on a daily basis, because we're looking at a weekly chart look up in upper
323 00:56:56 --> 00:57:07 left hand corner. So the weekly timeframe, I want to see a daily close below that 1.20. We'll call it 70. Level. If it closes below that, then I would feel
324 00:57:07 --> 00:57:22 reasonably confident that we're going to take the low out here. And then look at these lows here. My I jumped right to this in this that in that we have this
325 00:57:23 --> 00:57:33 already traded to almost right there consequent Grossman. So it's this wick in this way. So I look at those two is relatively equal. And because we have an
326 00:57:35 --> 00:57:48 undelivered, consequent encouragement on this week, retail, that is where I believe the draw would be on the downside. So we'll say this is it there with
327 00:57:48 --> 00:57:58 the expectation that it would eventually pierce this wicks, or consequent parchment of this tail, and then get into this inefficiency down here. So longer
328 00:57:58 --> 00:58:11 term. Cable, this is where I think we could potentially draw down to because it can accelerate and over deliver versus in by comparison to what your own might
329 00:58:11 --> 00:58:24 do. So if the dollar does, in fact go higher. And Euro goes lower. Cable could accelerate and just really be animated to the downside and trade below the sell
330 00:58:24 --> 00:58:33 side here. And if it goes below here, how far can it go? It can reach down into this inefficiency of this fear right now. But we're not talking about a day
331 00:58:33 --> 00:58:43 trade. Okay, because this is the weekly timeframe. So it doesn't imply that just because you see something as a short, intraday, that that entry entry is a sound
332 00:58:43 --> 00:58:55 entry to ride all the way down there. No, I'm not implying that at all. I'm saying that for a long term macro view of what may be in fact, what we see, over
333 00:58:55 --> 00:59:07 weeks and months. This is where the POUND DOLLAR could be reaching to. But initially, we have to work out this area here where it has to close below the
334 00:59:07 --> 00:59:18 lower quadrant of this wick or tail. If it does that, what that tells me is this becomes likely to be in play in the sell side resting below here. That would be
335 00:59:18 --> 00:59:28 my draw longer term and I would submit to the idea that while it's still likely to reach there, and then Euro maybe going lower in dollars going higher. I
336 00:59:28 --> 00:59:41 believe that everything stays intact with that symmetry, dollar higher Euro lower pound lower, but specifically aiming for pound moving significantly lower.
337 00:59:41 --> 00:59:50 Because it's tending to always as its as its own characteristic. It tends to exaggerate the moves that would see. Euro lower POUND DOLLAR usually goes a
338 00:59:50 --> 01:00:01 little bit more just the same way you see the acceleration and exaggerated moves in NASDAQ versus the ES. It's just a natural characteristic that it has Alright,
339 01:00:01 --> 01:00:11 so with that, let's drop down into the daily, we're almost halfway there, folks are almost there. So we had to buy side taken here. And as I mentioned, with the
340 01:00:11 --> 01:00:22 Eurodollar, much in the same vein, this would have normally been a, a breaker where we had a low, high, lower low. And if it was bearish for dollar, then this
341 01:00:22 --> 01:00:31 would have set up a bullish breaker, no necessity to trade down here at all. Because there really isn't a ideal fair value gap. There is one here, right in
342 01:00:31 --> 01:00:38 here. But that wouldn't, that would have never been one for me to see as a shift in market structure and trade all the way back down into that level there.
343 01:00:38 --> 01:00:49 That's a little too deep of a retracement, I'm not a harmonic trader, I'm not deep, you know, 80% or 80%, whatever it is, bat pattern or whatever it is. I'm
344 01:00:49 --> 01:01:04 not subscribed to Zoo patterns. So this would be treated by me if it were to trade below it. The same way I outlined it for Euro, I would treat it as a
345 01:01:04 --> 01:01:12 inversion fair Vega. And I just did the wrong color either right the first time. I like to use this color for inversions that way going forward. If
346 01:01:12 --> 01:01:19 you ever see it on my chart, doesn't mean I'm always doing it correctly. Because sometimes like I did it here does it it wrong color it especially if I'm doing a
347 01:01:19 --> 01:01:28 trade live. And I'm trying to maintain my focus on what you're probably going to ask me or would would ask me while I was doing the trade. And what I'm thinking
348 01:01:28 --> 01:01:36 is it's happening, my eyes go into these levels while I'm managing a trade. These are real trades, you know, there's real risks here. These these things
349 01:01:36 --> 01:01:46 have to be thought about at the time. And if I'm trading with a 15 second chart, that's a whole lot of identifying, calculating, weighing out whether this should
350 01:01:46 --> 01:01:52 happen. Then thinking about what you're asking if you were standing next to me what your government probably asked me after I shared a video of the execution,
351 01:01:53 --> 01:02:01 plus managing the entire trade and also coming up with a way of responding and highlighting and teaching. While the trades going on. I'm sorry, but that's just
352 01:02:01 --> 01:02:10 not easy to do. So sometimes I'll do the color wrong. But inversion fair value gets, I'd like to keep this color scheme for any fair value, get that a shade in
353 01:02:10 --> 01:02:16 a shade of like either green or blue, I'm treating it as something that would be considered discount for the purposes of maybe going higher, I'm treating as it
354 01:02:16 --> 01:02:27 should act as support anything in a pink or red hue. That's usually something I'm expected to treat it as a resistance or some selling. Once it gets there, it
355 01:02:27 --> 01:02:37 should be met with some kind of a turn, or maybe consolidated but failed to go higher in when it's orange like this, okay, that to me, is signifying to you.
356 01:02:37 --> 01:02:45 And this is what I originally thought out when I first started teaching the inversion pay gaps. This would be otherwise expected to treat it like this, like
357 01:02:45 --> 01:02:55 it did here went down to it touch that in rally. That's reasonable. But because we're bearish on the POUND DOLLAR, and we're bullish on the dollar, we would
358 01:02:55 --> 01:03:05 expect to see this trade through it and fail. Okay, so understanding the narratives, then you can anticipate seeing PD arrays that would another wise in
359 01:03:05 --> 01:03:14 instances, that would be like, as I mentioned before, if the dollar was bearish trading back down to this level here would be considered a bullish scenario for
360 01:03:14 --> 01:03:21 POUND DOLLAR. But because I'm outlining enough sort of the analysis off with, I believe that ultimately we're going to go higher on the dollar index, trading
361 01:03:21 --> 01:03:30 back down here anyway, when we've already used it. Not that it's a fresh zone, because it's not that it's not supplying demand zone, I want to see it fail, I
362 01:03:30 --> 01:03:40 would expect it to trade through it. Now if it does that, I would expect it to go back up touch the low respect the midpoint of it, not traded the entire range
363 01:03:40 --> 01:03:48 and touch the top of it. But if it does that and it starts to move lower, then I'm confident that we're going to below below this low here. And then that means
364 01:03:48 --> 01:03:57 that I would expect $1 considered bullish To be continued. And then any rallies and NASDAQ I would treat them as a suspect rally and look to fade that in any
365 01:03:57 --> 01:04:04 fair value get to go short. I would feel confident taking the short there. Now do you see what I just did there? That's intermarket relationships. Okay. So,
366 01:04:04 --> 01:04:13 intermarket relationships are in a market analysis, using other markets to support an idea not to simply looking at one payer or one market, for the simple
367 01:04:13 --> 01:04:21 sake of I see a pattern I have time to trade. So then you just take a trade, that's too myopic, you have to blend a lot of things to get to what we
368 01:04:21 --> 01:04:28 considered, by my definition, high probability. Now, it doesn't mean that what I just outlined here is going to pan out it just means that that's what I'm
369 01:04:28 --> 01:04:39 waiting for. That would illustrate that this would be a high probability short for pound and it means it would confirm continued upside likely to see dollar
370 01:04:39 --> 01:04:51 going higher. Okay, so I've taken you through the whole spectrum of using other markets to support or what would negate the idea of me eventually taking trade
371 01:04:51 --> 01:05:00 in the only market I'm interested in right now, which is NASDAQ. But I gave you the criteria in which that you can study this going forward this week. Let's see
372 01:05:00 --> 01:05:08 if it pans out, see if it offers anything to you. And then what patterns that you are looking for as your model, do they manifest later on in the week using
373 01:05:08 --> 01:05:18 this information? Okay, so it's an interactive study. It's something that it's, it's explained in detail here. There's finite parameters is not a, if it goes up
374 01:05:18 --> 01:05:27 or down, right, either way, it's I'm looking for higher dollar. But I'm also teaching how I will let an expect because many of you, if you look around, have
375 01:05:27 --> 01:05:35 asked how do you know when a fair value gaps not going to work? I'm outlining it here. But when it fails, it doesn't mean it's discarded. This means that I'm
376 01:05:35 --> 01:05:45 going to treat it as inversion pay, right got a fair value get that fails in its function of bullishness or bearishness, if it fails, it will become an inversion
377 01:05:45 --> 01:05:53 of fair value get after it comes back to it. So there's no reason for you to be upset about taking a trade and getting stopped out. If you try to use it as an
378 01:05:53 --> 01:06:02 entry to go along and it stops you out, you're gonna get mad and think everything doesn't work because of that, when it should be, wow, okay, I got
379 01:06:02 --> 01:06:09 that wrong, all I got to do is sit back and wait, when it comes back up and hits it, I'll treat it as a shorting opportunity. And you'll get it back in probably
380 01:06:09 --> 01:06:18 more. And you won't wrestle with this idea that I got to be right. Because when we're wrong, it gives us insight, we just had to pay a premium for that insight.
381 01:06:18 --> 01:06:29 That's all, it's all it is. And that's how you wrestle through fear of missing out. Fear of losing you losing sometimes gonna cost money for you to get better
382 01:06:29 --> 01:06:37 perspective and a better insight, you're gonna get a higher education because you paid for it. It's just like college, you, you're willing to pay for all
383 01:06:37 --> 01:06:48 those extra credits beyond grade school, rudimentary classes in your elementary school, and then you go into debt, to pay for that higher knowledge at higher
384 01:06:48 --> 01:06:56 education. When you have when you're a trader, and you take a loss, this is the same thing, that transaction is you just paying for another class, and you paid
385 01:06:56 --> 01:07:05 for those credits. Now, at the end of that credit, for that, that semester course, you now have the insights that should have been gleaned from that
386 01:07:05 --> 01:07:15 exposure to that study of whatever it is, whether it be a class or mathematics or science or whatever, it's some prerequisite for your degree or major, you're
387 01:07:15 --> 01:07:24 paying for that insight, a loss in trading should be treated the same way. It should never be permitted to be catastrophic. Where you're risking the the
388 01:07:24 --> 01:07:36 entire access to your funded account, or your it completely decimates your fund that account combine or it blows your account, or you lose $40,000, because you
389 01:07:36 --> 01:07:44 didn't use a stop loss or you live streaming, you delete the stream, and you pretend it never happened. Those things can be avoided. If you do all these
390 01:07:44 --> 01:07:52 types of things. And you don't have these fear of, you know, being judged by other people or not judging yourself because you're doing something that makes
391 01:07:52 --> 01:08:01 sense. You're doing things that are sound, there's logic behind it, that sound, you're not recklessly gambling, you're not afraid if you take a loss, you're not
392 01:08:01 --> 01:08:08 afraid your model is going to fail. You're not afraid that the only thing that you use to trade with isn't the right thing for you because if a fair a gap is
393 01:08:08 --> 01:08:18 European era, if that's what you're using the trade buying and selling. There, you're going to meet a time where you expect these things to perform a specific
394 01:08:18 --> 01:08:30 manner or function, bullishness or bearishness, but when they fail, that gives you insight. That's what a inversion fair value gap is. That's what it is. It's
395 01:08:30 --> 01:08:38 inversion. You expected it to behave a specific way but it goes through it well here I'm anticipating price going through this very Faraday gap here for the
396 01:08:38 --> 01:08:47 Express purposes that it will hopefully provide a shorting opportunity that would accelerate further downside and this becomes an inversion fairway gap if
397 01:08:47 --> 01:08:57 we trade down but not below this low before returning back to it because that sell side still there. And it will return back to this Faraday got because it
398 01:08:57 --> 01:09:05 would treat this as an inversion pair Vega there's no there's there's only buyside here when this candle passing through. We didn't get to it here we went
399 01:09:05 --> 01:09:14 just shallow into here. But from this candles low to that candles high. There's only by side it was delivered only here on by side. So what is it missing sell
400 01:09:14 --> 01:09:28 side. So if it drops down, it offers that sell side to this candles high so it re prices to that range low which is this candle high. So that fair value gap
401 01:09:28 --> 01:09:37 has been repriced, to offer the buy side it's been given here and then sell side. So if it moves away from it comes back up. What is it going to act as a
402 01:09:37 --> 01:09:46 bounce price range, which is a reason why I'm telling you that I would like to see it only trade to halfway. It can trade up to the highest point. But if it
403 01:09:46 --> 01:09:55 tells me no I'm not interested going on to the top of it after moving below it. If it hits the low and only stops at midpoint or just below it and then starts
404 01:09:55 --> 01:10:04 to move lower. That's exactly what I want because it's It's signifying that the bounce price range is not permitting price to come all the way back up to the
405 01:10:04 --> 01:10:13 high of it. It need not do that. Why? Because we've already traded down to it a little bit in here. So we've already had sellside offered to that degree when
406 01:10:13 --> 01:10:23 that candles low. If, if this is the part, you don't want them here, you want me to get to the nitty gritty and make it easy here to buy, sell and expect it. But
407 01:10:23 --> 01:10:30 if you want to learn how to make money, and consistently know what you're looking for, why am I using this candle? Why am I not doing this, in my mind
408 01:10:30 --> 01:10:37 expecting this rings to stay unfilled? And why should I expect this to be filled? Well, how I'm teaching it to you. But it can't be done in a five minute
409 01:10:37 --> 01:10:46 video. If this candle didn't trade down into the upper portion of this fair value got, if it didn't do that right there, then the one passed through it,
410 01:10:46 --> 01:10:53 where I expect the fair value got to fail here and not offer support, then I would treat the fair inversion fair value gap as it can go over to the high.
411 01:10:54 --> 01:11:06 Why? Because it wouldn't have had this drop down in the upper portion of this range. See that. But because it did that, it's already offered a measure of sell
412 01:11:06 --> 01:11:09 side. So between that candles low, which I'll highlight here,
413 01:11:11 --> 01:11:19 what I'm saying is essentially is I don't want to see it trade above that blue line, if it trades down. Worst case scenario, it can create a mohawk, which is a
414 01:11:19 --> 01:11:30 little tiny little deviation above or below a level that would be the level I'm looking for it to be respected. But because markets are factoring a spread, and
415 01:11:30 --> 01:11:38 we all know Forex as a spread, I don't care what they tell you what they offer you all your if spreads that are distance or whatever, it the broker wants to
416 01:11:38 --> 01:11:46 expand it on you, they're going to expand it on you and it is what it is, unless you're using a limit order. If you're using a market order, chances are that
417 01:11:46 --> 01:11:53 spread isn't gonna be what you actually get. And how often are you really checking to see what you paid and spread, you're not, you're just hoping to get
418 01:11:53 --> 01:12:01 in there because your fear of missing out and so high. That difference between this candles low and the high of the fair baguette, which is this lump here. So
419 01:12:01 --> 01:12:10 I'm going to highlight both levels. I don't want to see price. If it trades down below it, I don't want to see it trade back up in between these two levels once
420 01:12:10 --> 01:12:19 we get below this shaded area. Because the effects of this candle trading down to the upper portion of this fair value gap, it's already offered on the basis
421 01:12:19 --> 01:12:31 of this move here. That candle right there that day, has already delivered most of the upper portion of what would be this fair value guy. So because it has
422 01:12:31 --> 01:12:39 done that, I don't want to see if we trade below it and it comes back up and touches the low or halfway point I wanted to be sensitive there and not trade
423 01:12:39 --> 01:12:48 any higher. But it can create a small little Mohawk just above that line there but not touch the upper portion. If it does that, that tells me it's exceedingly
424 01:12:48 --> 01:12:59 weak. And then therefore I would expect dollar to accelerate higher. And in any shorts that I see in NASDAQ should be high probability. And then this would sell
425 01:12:59 --> 01:13:08 off pretty aggressive reaching down for the sell side below over in here. But if this candle hadn't done this very thing here, that means that the only thing
426 01:13:08 --> 01:13:19 that this fairway gap has seen, again, this portion right here, imagine that's not there, say this candle had a low up up up here. Okay, that means that this
427 01:13:19 --> 01:13:34 range only had buyside offered to this to this point here. So what's it missing? It's inefficient in sulci. Because it's by sight and balance that needs its
428 01:13:34 --> 01:13:42 direction was a closing candle higher differences swing the candle before candle after it is that there's a little gap in between where the market has to
429 01:13:42 --> 01:13:54 eventually reprice lower, we're not down there yet. So when you look at a fair value gap, you have to see how was it treated? How was it utilized, it wasn't
430 01:13:54 --> 01:14:09 even touched here. I said that. It wasn't, it wasn't willing to trade down the consequent Kushman. Here, it didn't come to the very low that candle here. It
431 01:14:09 --> 01:14:17 didn't respect that it traded just inside the upper portion or upper half of that gap that's read about this candle time that candles low. So because it's
432 01:14:17 --> 01:14:25 done that I don't want to see it once it trades back down, like down below it. I don't want to see come back and touch the top. But if this wasn't the case here,
433 01:14:25 --> 01:14:35 then I would expect and I would try to take a short, higher up above the consequent cursor on the fair value gap. And if I can get a mohawk right here on
434 01:14:35 --> 01:14:45 the high on it. It just puts itself above it. Many times you've seen me I'll add a partial and pyramid in that very thing right there. And you've seen people ask
435 01:14:45 --> 01:14:55 like Why were you adding to it it was outside the fair Vega because a Mohawk is expected. It's permissible we allow for it. I'm not scared of it. I know it's
436 01:14:55 --> 01:15:03 likely to occur. If I can get fortunate enough. Notice I didn't say lucky enough. I was fortunate enough to get the Phil on that mohawk at this point is
437 01:15:03 --> 01:15:13 just the boat that that superior entry. That's like that is that's the that's part of the game I play when I'm trying to get feels like I want to try to do
438 01:15:13 --> 01:15:23 that sometimes I'm not successful all the time because the markets dry right now. And hopefully I've made a major dent in your understanding about inversion
439 01:15:23 --> 01:15:34 fair value gaps here. I tuck it in to these, these long winded videos, because these are the details. These are the details that used to make sure I didn't
440 01:15:34 --> 01:15:51 break my phone here. told myself and I made it on the arm chair next to me, and I'm probably going to drop it. And that's good. Just last until November 12. So
441 01:15:51 --> 01:16:02 I'm better off. So now you have insights. What when do I expect the fair pay gap to fill? Why would I expect it to fail? Why would I like to see things remain
442 01:16:02 --> 01:16:12 open? I covered all that right here. Okay. So, in my book, when I talk about embarrassing fair pay gaps, I'm going to cite this very video, where I'm walking
443 01:16:12 --> 01:16:21 you through the explanation with an example. Because everything I've just said in text, you might read and say, I don't understand what he's saying. But now
444 01:16:21 --> 01:16:29 you've seen me outline it, you see me refer to it here, in every example where I've ever shown the trade where I've used it and you watch me call an inversion
445 01:16:29 --> 01:16:39 fair value get before the market itself respected as such. Now you understand the dynamic of what I trusted at the time. Because it's not make believe it's
446 01:16:39 --> 01:16:48 not hindsight, it's it's logic that's being referred to on an ongoing basis, that will tend to repeat more times than it will fail. And then in and of
447 01:16:48 --> 01:16:56 itself, that is an edge. That's a model that's something you can, you can put statistics and probabilities behind. And if you can determine when the markets
448 01:16:56 --> 01:17:07 predisposed to go higher or lower. That by definition gives you high probability. If you can't do your trades, with that mindset, behind each and
449 01:17:07 --> 01:17:15 every one of them, you're gambling, you have no idea what you're doing. You're just hoping and praying. And when it's right, you'll call it skill when it's
450 01:17:15 --> 01:17:22 wrong. You'll blame me you'll blame the the methodology, you'll blame the broker, you'll blame the market, you'll blame everything else but yourself. So
451 01:17:22 --> 01:17:31 this discussion, is this reverting back to you as the responsible party, when you do it wrong, you did it wrong, everything else is exactly what it is.
452 01:17:33 --> 01:17:43 Separate from you. These gaps don't make you buy them, they don't make you short term, you decide that you make that decision. So I'll move on, because I could
453 01:17:43 --> 01:18:01 go on a lecture about that. So let's go into the 60 minute chart. And same thing here. We had a city breaker we traded up into the both of those. That's a nice,
454 01:18:01 --> 01:18:08 that is a very, very strong model. When you're looking for sell side, everything reversed. You can use it for when you're looking for buy side, it broke lower,
455 01:18:08 --> 01:18:21 which made up into the inefficiency here. And this is one of those things that I got burned many times on Sundays where I had this very scenario here, where it
456 01:18:21 --> 01:18:30 looks like okay, we traded up into that. And if we opened up inside this fear Vega here, I would go short right there on Sunday and expect Sunday going into
457 01:18:30 --> 01:18:43 Monday London, it would just trade lower. And it wouldn't do that. Sometimes it would go higher. Take the buy side that I would be treating as my stop and
458 01:18:43 --> 01:18:53 totally new prevent me from being profitable for that Sunday trading. It was this very thing here that caused me to stop trading on Sundays where I used to
459 01:18:53 --> 01:19:03 take trades on Sunday, when we open up I would trade in the first three hours or so of Sunday, and then pack it up going in around 10 o'clock. You do whatever
460 01:19:03 --> 01:19:11 you normally do if I'm going to nap or whatnot before London session, or if I went to sleep. That's what I would do, and then come back in London and see if
461 01:19:11 --> 01:19:22 everything was in the same vein of what I had hoped for. If it gave me a trade, I would trade Milan session. But because of all the things that's going on to
462 01:19:22 --> 01:19:33 talk about in the early portion of the video, or live stream here, you're listening to the the wartime events, the terrorist events, the uncertainty in
463 01:19:33 --> 01:19:44 the likelihood of it happening in all of our backyards, all that stuff could promote enough fear and they might want to, you know to start rubbing that fear
464 01:19:44 --> 01:19:56 up by having a gap opening lower. Then come up reprice to close the gap between where we closed on Friday and where we open up here today later today and
465 01:19:56 --> 01:20:14 Sunday. close that gap and then go are in, I'd like to see a trade below that gap and not offer support. I want to see it fail. What happens if it trades down
466 01:20:14 --> 01:20:23 to this? It treats it as support and rallies back up. I won't be long. I'm not trading Forex. But you shouldn't be upset about that. Because what you're going
467 01:20:23 --> 01:20:31 to be treating as what inversion for Vega, there's always going to be moves that take place that you didn't see coming. But here's the wonderful thing. You
468 01:20:31 --> 01:20:38 didn't lose money. You're you're gonna beat yourself up about how much you could have made if you just wouldn't took that trade, but you didn't see a comment. So
469 01:20:38 --> 01:20:48 how you going to how are you going to punish yourself like that. You're wasting mental capital doing it. You're literally causing mental drawdown or money that
470 01:20:48 --> 01:21:01 you never really risked. And you can't make money thinking and worrying about it. So by having these pre market opening expectations, and running scenarios
471 01:21:01 --> 01:21:11 that would allow you to feel comfortable taking trade, and what you would be comfortable letting go without you being a participant in it helps free up that.
472 01:21:13 --> 01:21:21 Well, permission to give yourself so that way, you don't feel impulsive to chase price, because you can see a trade down. And if you're vague and it starts to
473 01:21:21 --> 01:21:30 come up a little bit and you think oh man, I said he's probably got it wrong. What if it does run? You know, 100 pips higher? Yeah, it's 100 pips that I could
474 01:21:30 --> 01:21:37 make. And I can come back and say, I see a failure what you did, and you feel great, wonderful. If it happened, it will be great. But are you gonna feel
475 01:21:37 --> 01:21:45 comfortable in the trade? Probably not. You're gonna be hoping and praying that it works out. And you won't be looking at what the markets telling you. While
476 01:21:45 --> 01:21:54 you're in it, that might tell you it's going to fail, and then do what I'm outlining here, which is trade below this gap. Here's a lot of different ways
477 01:21:54 --> 01:22:03 you can use what I'm telling you and what I'm explaining. Okay, all I'm saying is is this be responsible, whatever it is you're doing, you own it. If you make
478 01:22:03 --> 01:22:19 money with it, you did it on your own. If you lose money, eat it. Alright, so let's go over to s&p. Get through these real quick here, now. I am getting
479 01:22:19 --> 01:22:31 hungry. And you're probably gonna start hear my stomach growling. I don't eat the crepes that tweeted about that this morning, I make breakfast for my, my
480 01:22:31 --> 01:22:46 wife. She likes to have that stuff. And it's had a meal. Alright, so here's the weekly chart here, we had the market rally up in recent months, we were
481 01:22:46 --> 01:22:55 expecting the market to trade up at these levels. And then I gave you an outline for a bearish scenario looking for a quarterly shift, that means every three to
482 01:22:55 --> 01:23:05 four months, there's going to be a shift in market structure where the market can move sustained moves for two to three months. But as long as four months cuz
483 01:23:05 --> 01:23:14 there's a little bit of overlap where it's not, it's not running on a perfect three month calendar, just because we say quarterly that is not broken up
484 01:23:14 --> 01:23:24 equally into every three months, it can go a little bit past three months. And it can be as short as a price run of two months. All I'm stating is is when I'm
485 01:23:24 --> 01:23:34 looking at higher timeframe, weekly and daily charts. I'm looking at how we could for the next series of up to two to four months. Where could it be
486 01:23:34 --> 01:23:44 reaching for and I have these levels in mind. And I have them written on my pad. Okay, so my little notepad has higher timeframe monthly weekly for our levels.
487 01:23:45 --> 01:23:54 And they are very significant draws on liquidity for me and my trades. So if I think that there's going to be a drawl to a very low level, like for instance,
488 01:23:54 --> 01:24:06 say 42 like that, not that 42 on it is one. But for the sake of discussion here, say 4200 is a level that I felt is something of importance, and that we could
489 01:24:06 --> 01:24:19 reach down here on a longer term basis. Any trades that I would be taking, that's short, and if we get within 20 to 30 handles, I would likely be at my
490 01:24:19 --> 01:24:32 maximum risk which is 5%. If I'm taking trades, that would be moving away from my week, my monthly the weekly, daily and or for our levels. I'm not going to
491 01:24:32 --> 01:24:44 trade with 5% I'm going to trade with like one and a half percent maximum leverage. So the benefit of having all these higher timeframe levels is to know
492 01:24:44 --> 01:24:55 when you're going to push the envelope of your risk. If it's more likely to pan out and go into these higher timeframe levels, then I'm confident that my
493 01:24:55 --> 01:25:03 intraday trade executions are very, very tight. They're very specific. They're very extremely Be precise, I know what I'm looking for I know when they're going
494 01:25:03 --> 01:25:13 to likely form. And if I can frame them on the basis of moving in the direction and it starts getting real close to these higher timeframe levels, then I'm
495 01:25:13 --> 01:25:23 going to go with my maximum risk, which is 5%. Okay, that's how I ran up those empty for accounts. Okay? When you saw me run those things up, I was doing every
496 01:25:23 --> 01:25:34 single time I took an entry, I was using 5%, every new partial, or every new pyramid entry. In and of itself, that new entry was 5% risk. So some of those
497 01:25:34 --> 01:25:49 trades would have as much as a 20% impact on that account. But when you're running it, and you're getting hundreds of pips, it parlays it up fast. It's
498 01:25:49 --> 01:26:02 math, that's all it is. It's not a rented empty for server. It's not Photoshop, sorry. Anyway, no extra charge. So we went up into this city here, after working
499 01:26:02 --> 01:26:20 into a old low, so trending up into that. Can we revisit this? Hi, I prefer that it didn't. So I would like to see it stay. I would like to see it stay in the
500 01:26:20 --> 01:26:36 lower portion of this wick. Okay, so I would like to see if we have any kind of rally up this week, I want to really see it stayed below the 4391 level. So I'm
501 01:26:36 --> 01:26:46 expecting a little bit of movement around there, it can, it can start to gyrate towards that direction, I don't want to see a close above 4391. I don't want to
502 01:26:46 --> 01:26:53 see that. Not on a daily basis. Because if it does that, then it means we're probably gonna have to run this high. Again, it may be workup inside of this
503 01:26:53 --> 01:27:02 area where the volume imbalances residing. I like the fact that we didn't get up to the volume balance because that to me, indicates that it's heavy, it didn't
504 01:27:02 --> 01:27:13 want to close in all the city, which is big down close candle. And it didn t want to get back to the volume imbalance. So there's there's two factors that
505 01:27:13 --> 01:27:24 would be constituting a premium in the range of this high to where we made that low. So we were unable to get to the volume imbalance which would be here. So
506 01:27:24 --> 01:27:25 your chart will look like this.
507 01:27:34 --> 01:27:47 When we rallied up last week, we did not get to this volume imbalance. And we left all the portion here open. This is the this is the sell side unbalanced by
508 01:27:47 --> 01:27:52 10 efficiency low and it's the highest so it would look like this shaded
509 01:28:01 --> 01:28:17 if you're learning, you can hit that like button, it would be great appreciation by me and we didn't get the consequent encroachment of the city. So what does
510 01:28:17 --> 01:28:28 that mean there's three things that would be normally viewed by me as a premium array. We couldn't get there to any of them. So that's nice. So when when I see
511 01:28:28 --> 01:28:39 that the logic is okay, we have this big wick. So now because we have that wick here, I don't want to see it trade above the halfway point of it, I want to see
512 01:28:39 --> 01:28:44 any retracement back up be maintained and held within this range here
513 01:28:52 --> 01:29:00 I'll take this off so you can see it. So any any movement to the upside I want it to be limited to
514 01:29:09 --> 01:29:23 go inside that range. Okay. And that is 4391. Nothing higher than and in between where we closed here so it can it can do anything at once in here. I just don't
515 01:29:23 --> 01:29:35 want to see it go above here on a closing face on the on the daily chart. As long as it does that I'll remain bearish for ES in bullish on dollar. So you see
516 01:29:35 --> 01:29:44 how taking all the markets together and put them together like a puzzle piece. That doesn't imply or ensure that I'm going to be correct. But I'm telling you
517 01:29:44 --> 01:29:54 how I teach how I use these PDE arrays how I'm using intermarket relationships, how I'm factoring in this geopolitical and wartime event where it creates a
518 01:29:54 --> 01:30:03 great deal of difficulty, because you don't know what's going to happen next. You don't know what sponsors are going to be by different nations and countries,
519 01:30:03 --> 01:30:13 and you don't know when it's going to pop off in your neighborhood. And all that stuff creates a great deal of interest in the market to speed up and rev up
520 01:30:13 --> 01:30:22 fear. So, because we're in this condition, and we're in the final quarter of the year, any animation and price is going to be exaggerated, it's going to be
521 01:30:22 --> 01:30:30 exaggerated, it's going to move a whole lot more, your targets, they're going to be easily met, but they're going to be probably blown out, and they'll go way
522 01:30:30 --> 01:30:40 past them. And you'll see them probably go to levels that I can't perfectly go to a methodology and says, Okay, this is what this is what it reached toward, it
523 01:30:40 --> 01:30:51 just goes beyond them. That's how you know that they're utilizing fear. That's manual intervention. But if you are looking at instances where we can still take
524 01:30:51 --> 01:31:02 trades and be acceptable, we'll have the risk that's involved around them. weighing out the risks, and still allowing for the best case scenario where we
525 01:31:02 --> 01:31:11 get the best of the best. So when you have a trade target, these are conditions where you want to go into okay, there's, this is where I want to get out, that
526 01:31:11 --> 01:31:21 is the perfect exit, you want to have 80% of your trade taken off before that, but leave something on to go past your best case scenario exit. That's the kind
527 01:31:21 --> 01:31:30 of climate we're in. You don't see that in books. And it's hard to articulate the reasons why and when you would trade like that, unless you're in these
528 01:31:30 --> 01:31:40 environments, which is exactly what I taught in my mentorship. That's mentoring. You watching things and understanding the logic, when I'm explaining something I
529 01:31:40 --> 01:31:47 sound very verbose about a lot of things that may not seem like it's all that impactful to you or useful to you. But for someone that's been trading for a
530 01:31:47 --> 01:31:54 while that has made money knows what it's like to be in conditions where they just didn't feel like they were dialed in, or knew what they were looking for,
531 01:31:55 --> 01:32:03 or something surprised them. I'm not usually surprised by very many things. I'm not, it doesn't mean I'm right all the time. It just means I'm not surprised.
532 01:32:03 --> 01:32:11 And I know that the climate that we're in right now, certain characteristics tends to tends to manifest itself in a way that I'm describing here in this
533 01:32:11 --> 01:32:24 lecture today. Any other time when we don't have the wartime events, we don't have the potential terrorism popping off everywhere. Then no, then I wouldn't
534 01:32:24 --> 01:32:33 expect this it would be here's the best case scenario target, I'll still get out of EDI and I will go one tick or two below where I think it's all doing trying
535 01:32:33 --> 01:32:42 to reach for and at least satisfy if I get that. That's, that's a normal functioning methodology for me. Because my weaknesses are my exits. I want them
536 01:32:42 --> 01:32:52 to be perfect. But I have not been able to be perfect consistently in a manner where if you look at by contrast, where my entries are there, they can be deemed
537 01:32:52 --> 01:33:04 phenomenal. But my exits are not satisfied. Because I'm using multiple timeframes many times to ascertain what those targets may be. And I don't know
538 01:33:04 --> 01:33:14 which one at the time I feel comfortable settling with, if I'm watching multiple timeframes, if I'm teaching while taking the trade, if my son sitting next to
539 01:33:14 --> 01:33:22 me, and he's, he's asking questions, because he's impulsive is a young guy, that might change my mind about something, because now I'm gonna be thinking about
540 01:33:22 --> 01:33:31 what he asked me. And I was willing to submit to this, this target. But now I'm wondering what he's thinking about. So can I think about my trade? Objectively,
541 01:33:31 --> 01:33:40 if I'm, if my heart's interest is to try to get my son to learn how to trade, he's asked the question, now I'm gonna try to think about how I can better
542 01:33:40 --> 01:33:48 answer him. So my focus is now broken. So there's a lot of things that takes place when you're trading. And if you're trading with real money, these
543 01:33:48 --> 01:33:56 decisions are heavier, not just going in, you're watching a tape read, or you're not really pushing a demo, you're not really trading with a combine, you're not
544 01:33:56 --> 01:34:06 trading with a funded account, you're, you're trading with real money. And when you're the least I can only speak this from my personal perspective. Once my
545 01:34:06 --> 01:34:15 concentration is broken, I'm done. Like I have to, I have to close the trade, because what will happen is that my bipolarism will kick in, and then what will
546 01:34:15 --> 01:34:26 happen is my rage will take over the management of the trade. And that's what has hurt me when I was in my younger years. That's the very thing that would
547 01:34:26 --> 01:34:35 take place, and I wasn't able to identify. So whenever I lose focus, whenever that is and whatever the catalyst was, that causes me to lose focus, I have to
548 01:34:35 --> 01:34:44 take myself out of a trade. And if it goes to my targets that would have been filled if I would have stayed in a trade, or if it goes way beyond it. I've just
549 01:34:44 --> 01:34:54 grown to accept the fact that I can be imperfect but profitable, and it's a very forgiving state of mind. And that's what I try to teach you. I try to teach you
550 01:34:54 --> 01:35:04 to have a low hanging fruit objective. And over the years, not a week, not a couple of months, not just the first here to over yours, you will get better and
551 01:35:04 --> 01:35:13 refining it. And one of you as my students are going to come up with an amazing exit strategy that is uniform. This is what you do all the same every single
552 01:35:13 --> 01:35:20 time you're going to use this method, and you'll get this high degree of accuracy. I hope I live long enough to see it, I'm confident that that's what's
553 01:35:20 --> 01:35:28 gonna happen. I've given enough resources and ideas for some of you, if not one of you, you're going to come for and say, This is what I found out that works
554 01:35:28 --> 01:35:38 for me. And I might end up utilizing it for myself. And I would be open upfront and say, this is this is exactly what I was looking for. And you found it for
555 01:35:38 --> 01:35:47 me. That would be wonderful. I would love to be able to do that. But until that happens, you know I wrestle with imperfections in terms of what I'm comfortable
556 01:35:47 --> 01:36:00 with settling with a target. So anyway, I just toss it in here because I felt like it needed to happen daily chart on ES Yeah, we don't want to see it trade
557 01:36:00 --> 01:36:04 above you on a closing basis. So we'll get this off here
558 01:36:10 --> 01:36:23 Alright, so there is no inefficiencies in this run here. But we did do what look real close. I'm not going to say anything I want you to look at it. We have just
559 01:36:23 --> 01:36:29 crossed over something that might be impactful going forward
560 01:36:35 --> 01:36:36 get a sneak a drink
561 01:36:45 --> 01:36:46 look at this candles Hi.
562 01:36:59 --> 01:37:11 This candles low. All right, now, let's play devil's advocate for a moment. Okay, say we gapped down and to opening. We have a gap lower opening. And then
563 01:37:11 --> 01:37:22 we trade back up to here. I would like to see this trade just to the low, not trade to the top be permissible to trade to the midpoint because this is a fair
564 01:37:22 --> 01:37:34 value gap. If we're bullish, this would be expected to offer what support and 10 cent price higher. But if we're bearish, we expect to see this to fail. And this
565 01:37:34 --> 01:37:41 is what happens when jokers literally look at things and they talk about something that I didn't talk about. But they'll point to a chart and say, Look
566 01:37:41 --> 01:37:50 at this. This is ICT stuff failing in your hands. It's failing because you don't know how to use it. But in the hands of someone that's proficient and especially
567 01:37:50 --> 01:37:59 the person that's created it, I'm telling you how I'm using it, this fair value gap fails, and it gives you insight. Now if everything were to happen, so we
568 01:37:59 --> 01:38:10 have a gap, lower opening, say we gapped lower than this candles low. Okay, we got lowered in Friday's low. It can trade back up to this verre gaps low. Have a
569 01:38:10 --> 01:38:18 mohawk that could reach to consequent encouragement I prefer didn't do that. It can go to the low and maybe a tick or two above it and not trade the consequent
570 01:38:18 --> 01:38:29 encouragement in certainly not trade to the upper portion of it. Why? Why would I say that here? Because we have had this candle go completely through and below
571 01:38:29 --> 01:38:42 it. Look row here. Look, we're closer here. You are getting a PhD level in terms of price delivery today. No charge. So yeah, we ran through this gap here. This
572 01:38:42 --> 01:38:51 whole candle here went all the way to the high of a gap, which is this candles low to and through the low of the gap, which is this candles high. And we create
573 01:38:51 --> 01:38:59 a little tiny little Mohawk Rite Aid covered Outside the Lines. That's completely permissible. It's acceptable. We are not afraid of that. Then this
574 01:38:59 --> 01:39:10 candle here, we trade down through it entirely. So now what did we do? Do we have any respect to this gap? Nope. Is that a bad thing? No. That means now if I
575 01:39:10 --> 01:39:17 get an extreme gap opening because it's the weekend, we don't know where we're going to open up on Sunday. If we open below this low, we're really technically
576 01:39:17 --> 01:39:26 oversold. We don't even care to tell you tell us that. We're really oversold and then they'll reprice against the opening price because everybody's going to want
577 01:39:26 --> 01:39:33 to do what chase it lower. Think it broke out to the downside. So they'll enter right away because the market started opening up in his trading. So now it's
578 01:39:33 --> 01:39:42 time to get out there and race the chase after investment profits. Let's just get out there and go do something. It's the weekend I'm working. Let me go out
579 01:39:42 --> 01:39:56 and just do a trade and it runs back up and touches the low of that fair value guy. I would like to see it do that and then roll over and go lower. Aiming for
580 01:39:56 --> 01:40:07 this day's low. Why? Because it's a daily low And then see if we can gravitate towards the sell side resting below here throughout the week. It may not happen
581 01:40:07 --> 01:40:18 this week, but gravitating towards this area down here, eventually, but treating this as a premium array and expecting it not to need to trade to the higher end
582 01:40:18 --> 01:40:27 of it. But how do you use that information? If you're going to use this as a mechanism to get short, your stop losses can be limited to consequent
583 01:40:27 --> 01:40:35 encouragement just a little bit above it. And then what's a little bit above it? It would have to be in my opinion, at least three to four handles above
584 01:40:35 --> 01:40:42 consequent coachmen. Because remember, we allow for what little Mohawks little coloring outside the lines. And if you're too demanding, and you want to have
585 01:40:42 --> 01:40:52 these one and a half, handle stop losses, what you can do on the lower timeframes, like the 15 second 32nd, one minute charts, you can do that. But I
586 01:40:52 --> 01:41:00 wouldn't try to do that in the climate that we have right now. Because there's a whole lot of they've sped up things where it tends to be a little bit more
587 01:41:00 --> 01:41:08 exaggerated, even when it's not moving much, it's still moving more than you're you're going to be comfortable dealing with a less than to handle stop loss,
588 01:41:08 --> 01:41:14 it's just you're asking that it's gonna get stopped out. And are you going to have the experience to see that trade still there and you were just being too
589 01:41:14 --> 01:41:22 greedy. And too tight with your stop loss to get right back in chances are probably not where I can be stopped out, you've seen me do it, I think three or
590 01:41:22 --> 01:41:31 four times this year, we're trading with real money, live money, not done not that no real money getting stopped out and me to go right back in and getting
591 01:41:31 --> 01:41:40 what I wanted to take downs a hall. So that's experience, but you can't, you can't understand these things. If I was to teach it through a book, just only
592 01:41:40 --> 01:41:50 through a book with a static chart, and then showing you after the fact here's what it looks like. It wouldn't mean as much you wouldn't be able to you
593 01:41:50 --> 01:42:00 wouldn't be able to take from it. The very impact that I'm trying to put forward in this discussion today. So seeing specific PD arrays, and it's not just simply
594 01:42:00 --> 01:42:09 a fair baguette that fails. There's many times I want PD arrays to fail, think about when I'm teaching you order flow. And I'm talking real water flow real
595 01:42:09 --> 01:42:18 institutional order flow has nothing to do it. Level two data has nothing to do with a DOM depth of market has nothing to do with volume profile has nothing to
596 01:42:18 --> 01:42:28 do with any of that gimmick has nothing literally to do with that. It's literally how every candle supports price as it's going higher, every down close
597 01:42:28 --> 01:42:37 candle in that down close candle algorithmic buying is taking place. So it goes without saying when it goes above that, it comes back down and touches it. It's
598 01:42:37 --> 01:42:45 not going to need to go back down in there because the algorithm has already extended the opportunity for the algorithms that use this in a marriage like
599 01:42:45 --> 01:42:55 handshaking between the delivery mechanism, the price engines that cause the fluctuations in price, and then the algorithms that can handshake with it. Like
600 01:42:55 --> 01:43:03 my Enigma, that my conceptual idea of how to handshake with with the markets algorithm, they dovetail perfectly together. That's what makes my stuff precise.
601 01:43:03 --> 01:43:10 That's what gives me the confidence to share things on Twitter before it happens. And you watch it happen in your chart every single week for years now
602 01:43:10 --> 01:43:19 two years you've watched it, where my private mentorship they've watched it for years. years daily, every single day, this is what I think's gonna happen. And
603 01:43:20 --> 01:43:32 over time you get comfortable with it. But when we see down close candles supporting price, what are we looking forward to on the opposite spectrum? When
604 01:43:32 --> 01:43:43 we're bullish on price, we want to see down close candles support price because they're acting as what bullish order blocks but we want to see bullish candles
605 01:43:44 --> 01:43:52 on the other side on the left side that would be considered what bearish order blocks as price was going lower, every up close candle should have offered what?
606 01:43:53 --> 01:44:04 Down downside delivery sell side delivery, moving lower. So we want to see price going through with ease, but through them. That's real institutional order flow.
607 01:44:05 --> 01:44:12 There's no depth of market necessary. There's no fake ladders and spoofing that can occur in that. It's finite. It's in your chart. You can see it everybody has
608 01:44:12 --> 01:44:20 the highest high and lowest low of every one of these candlesticks. Everybody that's looking at the Nasdaq futures contract that same delivery contract month
609 01:44:20 --> 01:44:30 of December 2023. We all have the same high and low on that candle right there. There's no There's no discrepancy we all have that. We can see it's right there.
610 01:44:30 --> 01:44:41 Okay. You can't do that with Forex, because everybody has their own Tom Dick and Harry spreads. And that's how it's it's not the gentleman's choice of markets.
611 01:44:42 --> 01:44:49 It's it was great when it was wild and wooly. And that's why I left futures to go over there because there was a lot of excitement and I knew I could do very
612 01:44:49 --> 01:45:01 well in short, little timeframes and capture big movements. But now we've had a little bit different dynamic. So I want to go back to what I trusted him where I
613 01:45:01 --> 01:45:09 started in 1992, which is the commodity and futures markets. And they're going to be much more precise and more refined. You're not going to see a whole lot of
614 01:45:09 --> 01:45:18 tomfoolery in it. It's very, very specific. You can make a career out of these one individual markets and not have to look at anything else. You got to figure
615 01:45:18 --> 01:45:26 out what forex pair to worry about new interest rate differential so worried about it's just are we bullish or bearish? And where are we looking to go? Real
616 01:45:26 --> 01:45:38 simple. You can very short work, work life do with one hour a day, and you're done. And it's consistent. But when we look at PV arrays, in and out using the
617 01:45:38 --> 01:45:45 institutional repo as an example, my point in saying all that was, when we're bullish, every down close candle should support price, every time it touches it
618 01:45:45 --> 01:45:57 goes into it, it should start repelling in setting price higher, and price should spool higher after doing so if we have met a range extreme, or we traded
619 01:45:57 --> 01:46:05 to buy side liquidity, that would constitute a potential reversal, while order flow has been bullish, and we've maybe capitalized on that.
620 01:46:06 --> 01:46:15 Now, if we have seen a run on buy side, and then it broke market structure, and then rallied up and give you 2022, short entry, what do you think you would be
621 01:46:15 --> 01:46:24 expecting, as the price is dropping down? Every one of those down close candles that supported price going up, you want to see price eat through that quickly
622 01:46:24 --> 01:46:31 with no hesitation, you want to see those down close candles with in the hands of anyone else, they're gonna think that that's a bullish order block, because
623 01:46:31 --> 01:46:41 they think every down closed candle is an order block. And it's not. It's not there's a narrative at work that you have to know what that is to make the order
624 01:46:41 --> 01:46:57 block be what you expect it to be in terms of a catalyst to be an entry, or a target. Hello. So every pdra has in its formation, a application of wanting to
625 01:46:57 --> 01:47:08 see it fail for the purposes of giving you an insight that you can use it for a counter trade idea that has an inverse nature to it. So when you see price like
626 01:47:08 --> 01:47:14 this, and you finally and what I just said for some of you that are brand new, you don't know what I'm talking about, and you don't really appreciate what I
627 01:47:14 --> 01:47:23 just said, but for students had been with me for a long time, they just had a light bulb moment, because now suddenly, like wow, I don't have to worry about
628 01:47:23 --> 01:47:33 my model in the pdra. Like the breaker, if it fails, I can have an inversion and trade off of that. If I use a mitigation block, and it fails, okay, when it
629 01:47:33 --> 01:47:43 trades back to it again, I can trade it inverse. And capitalize even with half the leverage and get back what I lost and still find a profit. So there's no
630 01:47:43 --> 01:47:52 reason for you to fear or try to avoid losing, because you're going to lose, you're going to have a losing trade, you will absolutely have a losing trade and
631 01:47:52 --> 01:48:00 probably have a series of them. Especially when you're brand new. But there's nothing to fear, there's nothing, there's no reason for you to fear that.
632 01:48:00 --> 01:48:09 Because your ability to judge and pick the very specific entry points and measure the risk that's appropriate for you, from your entry to where your risk
633 01:48:09 --> 01:48:17 is, that's a skill set, it's going to take you a while to figure that out. I have rules that help you do that. But you still like I talked about the Twitter
634 01:48:17 --> 01:48:26 space yesterday, on on my turfy. I talked about where motivation becomes impulse, you have all these good intentions of going in and looking at the
635 01:48:26 --> 01:48:34 chart, and maybe doing something that is highly organized and specific and disciplined. But when you get there and you're the excitement of maybe
636 01:48:34 --> 01:48:41 potentially missing it, and then second guessing yourself and you think well, you know, what if my model isn't there, but I do see it moving up here. And I
637 01:48:41 --> 01:48:51 think it's really going to go up above that old high or below that oh low and you completely abandon the model, then you trade recklessly and impulsively, you
638 01:48:51 --> 01:49:00 won't do those things, when you start seeing that this dynamic that is in price action. These things repeat all the time. They repeat all the time. And when
639 01:49:00 --> 01:49:09 your model fails you based on whatever pdra That is that you're using as a as an instrument for entry. Whatever that whenever that fails, just know that there's
640 01:49:09 --> 01:49:18 one of my students that we're looking for that very pdra to fail, because their model is returning back to it and then using that. Never looked at it like
641 01:49:18 --> 01:49:27 though it that way happier. But that's exactly what some of my students do. They're not. They're not breaking the models, they're not trading outside of
642 01:49:27 --> 01:49:37 what I taught. They're this using in a model that fits their expectations on price at that given time. And it may not be an inversion fair value gap that you
643 01:49:37 --> 01:49:46 use as your model, but it gives you the flexibility to say okay, I use fair value gaps to enter. But if I get it wrong, that means it's probably indicating
644 01:49:46 --> 01:49:54 that I'm really offside. So if it comes back up and trades back up into this level here, it might offer some measure of resistance, so therefore we could see
645 01:49:54 --> 01:50:03 an opportunity for it to trade and wherever the trade to here's the daily low right there. What could you use as a partial Before we get to that, half of this
646 01:50:03 --> 01:50:04 range, which is what?
647 01:50:11 --> 01:50:20 Right here, which will be right below Friday's low, the opening of that candle and the consequent curvature of the wick, do you have to take a partial every
648 01:50:20 --> 01:50:28 single one of them know which one would make sense for you based on how much you're leveraging where you got in at where the entry was. Because it could
649 01:50:28 --> 01:50:37 trade up to here and break extremely hard. And then the only first very right fair value get the gives you would be down in here that you would feel
650 01:50:37 --> 01:50:49 comfortable taken. And this is a lot of things that you have to weigh out. And unfortunately, there isn't this always easy 123 criteria recipe where it always
651 01:50:49 --> 01:50:59 does the same thing at the same manner, the same range and pips of risk the same pips in terms of the profit and every profit partial, should be only this many
652 01:50:59 --> 01:51:07 pips away from where you got to that doesn't, you can't do it that way and be consistently uniform. I wish it was like that. And I was trying very hard as a
653 01:51:07 --> 01:51:17 young man to make trading like that. And I've come to conclusion, it's not necessary. That's, that's something that will evade you. That's perfection. And
654 01:51:17 --> 01:51:26 perfection is not necessary in profitable trading. That's, that's an epiphany, that once you get that, you don't have to be perfect, to be profitable, and to
655 01:51:26 --> 01:51:34 be content in that profitability, not thinking I didn't get enough, which is why I always preach work, be content with enough, do you have more money today than
656 01:51:34 --> 01:51:45 you had at the start of the day, if you do, stop, go home, in profit, get used to feeling that, who cares? If it's only 50 bucks, who cares? If you just cost
657 01:51:46 --> 01:51:55 you covered the cost and commissions and you're not in a net loss for the day, we can go home and feel what that feels like and grow comfortable saying you
658 01:51:55 --> 01:52:03 know what, I didn't lose money today. Your first goal was to stay as a breakeven trader, because most people go right out the gate, no straight down and lose.
659 01:52:05 --> 01:52:14 You don't want to do that. You want to be able to maintain that watermark of where you open up your equity, that balance, you want to stay real close to
660 01:52:14 --> 01:52:22 that, until you figure out who you are and what you're trying to trade with. You're going to discover a whole lot about yourself when you start trading with
661 01:52:22 --> 01:52:29 real money. When there's real risk, you're going to decide whether or not you can trade with that model. With that timeframe, with that measure of risk that
662 01:52:29 --> 01:52:37 number of handles or pips that you're trying to use as a stop loss, it might not be feasible, you might need to trade with a larger stop loss, because your
663 01:52:37 --> 01:52:46 precision isn't there yet. And that's not a knock against you. That's not saying that you can't be more precise with lower small, smaller stop losses eventually.
664 01:52:46 --> 01:52:54 But so many of my students tried so quickly, to try to rush to these really small little tiny stop losses like that somehow makes you superior to someone
665 01:52:54 --> 01:53:07 else. It's not, because the chances of you getting stopped out expense exponentially increase. It demands precision that you may not have yet. Whereas
666 01:53:07 --> 01:53:17 someone that's brand new, and they offer themselves a 15 handle stop loss. That sounds like a lot it is if you're trading with five, or 15 contracts on a mini
667 01:53:17 --> 01:53:29 for s&p or NASDAQ, that is a lot. But you're not going to feel that way. If you're trading with one micro lot. It's not going to be that much. And you have
668 01:53:29 --> 01:53:37 to learn how to manage yourself, you have to learn how to hold on to these trades and not freak out and be in a rush to get your stop to breakeven or
669 01:53:37 --> 01:53:48 profitable. That's, that's an that's an entirely different lesson you have to learn to that can't be taught in a book, I can't teach you a lesson that makes
670 01:53:48 --> 01:53:57 you feel comfortable doing it, you have to follow the rules up provided and then do it. And you'll discover, okay, I need more time doing this with a lot less
671 01:53:57 --> 01:54:09 leverage. And which is why I tell you go down with the micro you know, $5 per per handle for the E Mini s&p, and $2 per handle on the NASDAQ. That's not a lot
672 01:54:09 --> 01:54:20 of money. But you can still make money doing that, and learning how to get good at it. So many of you get these funded account like my son, he can get these
673 01:54:20 --> 01:54:28 funded accounts. He's made money with it. And he ran in there and tried to do $150,000 account and dusted it quickly because he went back to doing big
674 01:54:28 --> 01:54:36 contracts again because he thought, well, I'll get you to replicate what I did there with more contracts and he found that he can't do it. The fluctuations of
675 01:54:36 --> 01:54:46 the money scares him. So if he's scared the money is he going to think about the trade hold it correctly? No. Two ticks or three ticks of movement, a bet against
676 01:54:46 --> 01:54:55 them. It scares him out of the trade. He closes it in a loss and then it runs in and where he's thinking it's gonna go and he does that multiple times and
677 01:54:55 --> 01:55:03 eventually hits the maximum loss and then that 150 Count is gone. He did that with two of them. This Week, you're not, you're not obligated to know that. But
678 01:55:03 --> 01:55:10 I'm telling you, just because he's my son, he's doing the same things that some of you probably are doing right now. Because you're impulsively trying to do
679 01:55:10 --> 01:55:24 things that you're not really ready to do with amount of risk. That's too high for you, you have to graduate into that. I don't know why I brought that. But
680 01:55:24 --> 01:55:33 just know that the stop losses, I would like to keep the stop loss tight here at just above consequent coaching, if it was a trade at that level there. And if I
681 01:55:33 --> 01:55:41 got stopped out, it's okay, because I'm following the rules of what I've outlined here. But because we've overlapped it, and we went from the highest
682 01:55:41 --> 01:55:50 point, the consequent curtailment of the fair Vega and the low and went beyond it, and we close below here, if we open below this low in trade back up to that
683 01:55:50 --> 01:55:57 level there, I would expect it to act as resistance. And it could only in my opinion, be high probability that stayed below consequent encroachment, or just
684 01:55:57 --> 01:56:07 one tick above it. And I would not want to see a trade at the high end of it, and still act as an inversion fair value, to offer lower prices. That's that's
685 01:56:07 --> 01:56:18 how I'm, that's how I'm framing it. So you know what I'm looking at why I'm even factoring any interest around these specific levels. So now, because if we have
686 01:56:18 --> 01:56:26 something at forums, and I point to something, whether it be hindsight after the fact, you know, throughout the week, you know that I've outlined the very things
687 01:56:26 --> 01:56:34 here, and if it doesn't work, it's great, you'll get to see what it's like to be here before the market opens up on a Sunday, where everything's completely
688 01:56:34 --> 01:56:40 random, you don't know where that opening price is going to be. And factoring all the other things I've talked about that's going on the world that makes
689 01:56:40 --> 01:56:47 things a little bit more complicated, complicated complex than it normally is. But you can still find opportunities. And this is how I would frame this for
690 01:56:47 --> 01:56:58 s&p. So 60 minute charts, what I just covered there, that would have been a charter level lesson. Only people that would have been at the charter level and
691 01:56:58 --> 01:57:05 other people were going through mentorship, and haven't gotten to that point of being charter, they never would have heard that lesson. That would have only
692 01:57:05 --> 01:57:17 been for a charter member student. They just learned something that they just learned for the first time. Stop buying in the people's mentorship saying that
693 01:57:17 --> 01:57:26 they're teaching something that I'm hiding, hiding away in some other chat room area, I'm not doing that. I'm not making videos for anyone because they're going
694 01:57:26 --> 01:57:36 to take them and sell them. I'm not creating a market for them. Okay. So I just want you to understand that. Alright, so this this drop down outside that gap
695 01:57:37 --> 01:57:46 closed in this portion of this last Annabelle cell seven efficiency. If you look over here, just a little to clean. And there's a gap right underneath it. So if
696 01:57:46 --> 01:58:00 you look at that, I like this. This inefficiency now has been repriced, to with the movement to here. So that gap is only this candles low to this candles high,
697 01:58:00 --> 01:58:03 so that you would extend it to the right.
698 01:58:09 --> 01:58:22 You thought I was just buying moving average crossovers. I did too. And it might seem like it's very, very complex right now. And it will be as a first
699 01:58:22 --> 01:58:31 introduction to it. But over time seeing it utilized and referring back to the same logic it repeats every single week, it's the same stuff. So we have
700 01:58:31 --> 01:58:42 inefficiency below price, and we have the buy side and sell side related this low. That would be the draw, should we move lower. If we move lower and and come
701 01:58:42 --> 01:58:53 back up and use this area here, and we haven't traded into the fare bag yet down here. That would be from this level of the daily inversion fair value gap to as
702 01:58:53 --> 01:59:03 much as the midpoint which is constant encouragement. From those two levels, there are anything between trading down in the net fair value gap, that will be
703 01:59:03 --> 01:59:11 a setup that I would like to trade this week. I would I would like to do that for ES if it offers it to me, I will try to do it. And if I can manage to
704 01:59:11 --> 01:59:19 finesse it or if I'm available in front of charts when it was to happen. I'll record myself doing it and it will it will be with a live account. So you can
705 01:59:19 --> 01:59:27 see it's real money. And you'll see that this is what I tried to do. I talked about it as a scenario. And this is what it looks like. Okay, you'll see a real
706 01:59:27 --> 01:59:36 stop loss. I don't trade without stop loss like a maniac that thinks he's always right. And then loses his as in front of everybody on the Livestream. Okay, I'm
707 01:59:36 --> 01:59:46 not trying to present perfection, but I'm trying to select very specific things that I feel are high probability. And I'm trying to engage them. That's what I
708 01:59:46 --> 01:59:53 talk about on Twitter when I point to something. I have already come to the conclusion within myself that this is something that I think has high merit.
709 01:59:53 --> 02:00:03 It's worth mentioning, it means I feel confident that I'm probably not going to be wrong. There isn't a lot of times where I point to something. And there is
710 02:00:03 --> 02:00:14 even less instances where I've talked about something on Twitter, and it not panning out. The point of that is, how many times have I done that? It's not
711 02:00:14 --> 02:00:26 every single day, because every day is not everyday trading. Day trading is not everyday trading. In the beginning, you want to be, you want to find an
712 02:00:26 --> 02:00:32 opportunity to do something every single day, because you're excited, you want to make money, you think there's an opportunity for you, as a brand new student,
713 02:00:32 --> 02:00:42 brand new participant in trading, you think that that's something that's realistic, and it's not. That's not someone that's versed in trading and
714 02:00:42 --> 02:00:51 understands price action, understands that model and understands themselves? Yeah, they can do that they can have an everyday profitable experience might be
715 02:00:51 --> 02:00:58 met with some losing trades intraday. But if they really know what they're doing, they can come out of that losing day, net last day and come back and
716 02:00:58 --> 02:01:04 cover costs and be very even, or maybe eke out a small profit. Or if you're really, really good and opportunities present themselves in the afternoon, the
717 02:01:04 --> 02:01:13 last hour of trading, you can find yourself from a net loss day in the morning, half, get back to break even on the pm session and somehow find your way into
718 02:01:13 --> 02:01:23 profitability on the fun our trading. But that type of trading isn't what a neophyte or a new student should expect. You shouldn't expect to be able to do
719 02:01:23 --> 02:01:30 that in your first year of trading. And I'm being 100% practical and honest with you. Some of you have expectations placed upon yourself that are not realistic.
720 02:01:31 --> 02:01:40 And when you don't hit them, or you're able to are not able to be able to do that in your trades, you feel that you're a failure. And it causes you to be
721 02:01:40 --> 02:01:49 impulsive and reckless. And then you do things that are outside your model, because you're angry at yourself. And you resent yourself. So you inflict
722 02:01:49 --> 02:01:56 punishment. But what you're really doing is in your mind, you're justifying why you're punishing yourself, but you're calling it punishing the market. I'm
723 02:01:56 --> 02:02:05 coming back with revenge, I'm going to take something from you. But really subconsciously, what you're doing is you want to lose. Because you don't want to
724 02:02:05 --> 02:02:15 stop doing what you can't control yourself from doing. That's what a gambler does. I talked about this yesterday to gamblers at some point, they get this,
725 02:02:15 --> 02:02:22 they get to this. It's called gamblers numbness where you just bet for the purpose of just you want to lose so that way you have nothing left to do,
726 02:02:22 --> 02:02:28 because you can't control yourself, you can't get away from the table, you can't get away from the slot machine, the One Armed Bandit, the jackpot machine, that
727 02:02:28 --> 02:02:42 unit that puts the money in the poor man's casinos game. At some point, a gambler, whether they're trading, or whether they're playing cards or at the
728 02:02:42 --> 02:02:54 casino, without seeing profitability, frustration kicks in. And normal person would say, Okay, let me just cut my losses here and go have a dinner or watch a
729 02:02:54 --> 02:03:03 show and come back in and try to do it tomorrow and see what I can get with it there. That would be mature. That would be someone with a good steward mindset
730 02:03:03 --> 02:03:11 with the money that have in their hands. But most people that go to casinos don't have that. So what'll happen is they'll keep gambling until they get to
731 02:03:11 --> 02:03:20 this point that's called gamblers numbness, where you don't care if you lose everything. In fact, subconsciously, that's exactly what you want. Because your
732 02:03:20 --> 02:03:32 your inability to leave the risk to leave the losing. And get back to a sound mind. You're incapable of doing it. So you start off offering the opportunity
733 02:03:32 --> 02:03:39 for everything that you have to be lost, which is the reason for you to stop because you don't have a mechanism to stop yourself. That means you're
734 02:03:39 --> 02:03:48 undisciplined. And many of you probably have experienced that right now, you can look back and think, wow, that's exactly what I was doing. I never looked at it
735 02:03:48 --> 02:03:55 that way. But you're doomed to repeat it unless you identify. That's exactly what it is. And you get to the point where you're just pushing the button for
736 02:03:55 --> 02:04:04 the sake of pushing the button, you need to immediately get out of that trade. preserve what you have left, take the rest of the week off period. There's no
737 02:04:04 --> 02:04:11 discussion about don't look at my tweets, don't watch my videos, don't talk about trading, don't look at charts, stop for a week. You have to ground
738 02:04:11 --> 02:04:19 yourself. That's it's really important that you understand that that is something that will wreck you. And I see people that have been trading for a
739 02:04:19 --> 02:04:30 long time. And they still do it. They can make money here and there. But they're not consistently profitable. They're not millionaires in trading. Despite saying
740 02:04:30 --> 02:04:42 that they are they fail, consistently trying to do something that's outside their potential or outside their skill set. And they're gambling with the one
741 02:04:42 --> 02:04:48 chance that they might be able to pull it off and then hoping that the public sees this and thinks that that's what they do all the time when they don't.
742 02:04:51 --> 02:04:58 That's just an aberration. It's just a one time event. And they're treating their trading over leveraging doing more contracts than they can reasonably
743 02:04:58 --> 02:05:08 handle Without a stoploss because they want it to be right to where they can champion this whole thing. And that's not what trading should be. It should be
744 02:05:08 --> 02:05:16 about picking very specific entry points, having very controlled risk that's reasonable, and a profit objective that is handsome enough to know that it's
745 02:05:16 --> 02:05:25 worth taking that risk. And the precision of entry around the logic and the narrative of why that trade should be performing that manner. Why why price
746 02:05:25 --> 02:05:33 should deliver that way? where it should go, why should it reach for that objective? It can't be just willy nilly and you know, some Mickey Mouse logic,
747 02:05:33 --> 02:05:44 it has to be something of substance that's outside of retail logic. Because if it's retail logic, that's flawed. It has to be on the basis of purpose of
748 02:05:45 --> 02:05:53 running for liquidity, or rebalancing and repricing to an old inefficiency. That's the only two things that causes prices to go up or down. Apart from that
749 02:05:53 --> 02:06:02 it's manual intervention and you can't time manual advantage, an intervention, you can expect it a specific week around calendar events. The economic calendar
750 02:06:02 --> 02:06:09 has a lot of big news reports or speeches or the Fed chair comes out okay. Yeah, man, oh, man, you want to which is likely to occur at that time in that round
751 02:06:09 --> 02:06:20 that day. But there are other instances where manual intervention come in, and completely surprise everybody with an explosive price move that was exaggerated
752 02:06:20 --> 02:06:33 well beyond what would be reasonable expected. And if you're offside in that event, that's risk that you didn't foresee when you first started trading. And
753 02:06:33 --> 02:06:42 I'm trying to be practical and reminding all of you that's always looming and it's really looming in forex right now. So I just want to make sure you
754 02:06:42 --> 02:06:51 understand it. Alright, let's finish this up. So as I can hear my wife down here bagging dishes around she's letting me know she's getting frustrated. My Way
755 02:06:51 --> 02:06:59 daily, so traded up made a high here, we broke low had a shift in market structure came back up to a bearish order block, rotated lower, lower, took out
756 02:06:59 --> 02:07:07 another sell side liquidity pool here. Just got inside. As you remember, I said I wanted to see it trade down into here, go back and look at the old reviews on
757 02:07:07 --> 02:07:17 this YouTube channel. They're all they're all time and date stamped. I can't time travel and go back and edit them. So let's take this off here. So we went
758 02:07:17 --> 02:07:26 down in below that low here, it was a little too shallow for my liking. There is a gap we traded up into that consequence of this wick. We'll highlight that
759 02:07:31 --> 02:07:42 Okay, so we went about that just a little bit Mohawk then rejected there. So we did the effects of repricing to the fair pay gap this this candles low this
760 02:07:42 --> 02:07:49 candles high. So we repriced there went up to the consequent Christian of that wick, which is reasonable, it's expected. And we did bumped up by side above
761 02:07:49 --> 02:07:56 this short term high. So these are all things I talked about on the hourly chart. And when you download our chart, I'll show you what I mean in specific
762 02:07:56 --> 02:08:06 terms. But we went above there. And then we offered what sell side delivery went lower. So now we have a couple of things to look at on the downside should the
763 02:08:06 --> 02:08:16 equities move lower. These are the levels I'm going to be using going forward for this week. Consequent curtailment of this tail of this candle, I'm going to
764 02:08:16 --> 02:08:26 take this off, okay. So that way, it keeps everything germane to what I'm referring to. So this is the first objective on the downside I would be
765 02:08:26 --> 02:08:37 interested in, I would like to see it reach for that. I want to see a daily close below this level right here. If I see a daily close below that level, I'm
766 02:08:37 --> 02:08:43 going to feel confident that we're going to run there, well two equal lows here and dig down into deeper portions of this. What can we look for specifically in
767 02:08:43 --> 02:08:52 that range? Well, it's consequat encroachment, or midpoint of that, which is 14,004 31 in three quarters. So that's a key level. So that will be on my
768 02:08:52 --> 02:09:02 notepad, this candles low is going to be my notepad because an old fair value gap on the weekly. So it's a drop in liquidity always is always going to be a
769 02:09:02 --> 02:09:11 factor for wanting to reach and revert back to that. Even if it goes through, I don't care. It's something to have in your charts ever in your notes that that
770 02:09:11 --> 02:09:21 level is going to be significant. It's salient to future price delivery for this week. It's in the realm of potential to revert back to it. And then the midpoint
771 02:09:21 --> 02:09:35 of this candlesticks wick which is 14,007 77. Okay, so with those with those levels in mind, on the premium side, I wouldn't be so concerned about the high
772 02:09:35 --> 02:09:37 last week, but I would be reframing
773 02:09:43 --> 02:09:53 the sell side of balanced bites on efficiency here. So you would use these levels, the 13,003 56 and three quarters which is the high of the city or cell
774 02:09:53 --> 02:10:03 Senate balanced by Senate efficiency, its consequent encroachment, which is 15,000 to 68 and three quarters or Is that right? Let's say that right eyes are
775 02:10:03 --> 02:10:06 not behaving like they should.
776 02:10:17 --> 02:10:35 15,002 Zero 8.75 And then the the lower the SEBI, which is 15,060.75. Okay, so this inefficiency here. So what we have down here is the discount, Paseo del Sol
777 02:10:35 --> 02:10:47 summon efficiency. And this is the premium, because above where we closed. So, what's above the closing price? This inefficiency. So, I would like to see price
778 02:10:47 --> 02:10:59 stay at the lower portion of this city not come back up into this area here in the upper portion. But what happens if it does? What could we what could we
779 02:10:59 --> 02:11:07 allow for even though we don't want to really see it, but what could we allow for, we can allow for it to trade up into this week's consequent encouragement,
780 02:11:08 --> 02:11:20 which is here. So it's about the upper quadrant of this inefficiency, see that this level here, which is half of this wick, is exactly approximately this kind
781 02:11:20 --> 02:11:30 of term, it's exactly approximately it's pseudo precision, the upper quadrant of the city, so I mean, shade that because this is what it would be acting as
782 02:11:31 --> 02:11:45 bearish. So let's keep everything in germane color scheme. So we have 15 to 88.25. That's the worst case scenario. And upside. If we, if we close above that
783 02:11:45 --> 02:11:53 on a daily chart, then to me, I'm on the sidelines, I'm not interested, I'm gonna I'm gonna sit and wait. But as long as we remain below that, and below
784 02:11:53 --> 02:12:00 constant encouragement of the city here, I will be expecting weakness or or heaviness. And then when we get down to this level here, that'll be the first
785 02:12:00 --> 02:12:11 objective for profit taking, or partial. And then we have the old boss Annabelle sauce on efficiency, which is this candles low, that would be a target and he
786 02:12:11 --> 02:12:23 had the relative equal lows here. So they're real, real tight, with within like, very, very close proximity to each individual price, the low of that candle
787 02:12:23 --> 02:12:33 comes in ad 86, even in this one's at 89. Evens are only talking about three handles. So there's sellside below that, and if we reach below, it's not going
788 02:12:33 --> 02:12:39 to just be reaching below up by a little bit and come back up. It's going to reach below and reach down to consequent encouragement and probably repriced,
789 02:12:39 --> 02:12:49 down to the low at 14 to 44 and a half. So that's what I'm expecting going forward the levels I'd be anticipating that would be impactful for the week, you
790 02:12:49 --> 02:12:56 see that here. Now. We'll jump into the daily chart. Okay, you can see how we worked up into this fair value gap here.
791 02:13:02 --> 02:13:19 No, yes. Okay, we worked off that. Just a little bit of a contrast, trade right up into the here, clear the buy side actually talked about that very area, in
792 02:13:20 --> 02:13:27 discussions last week, go look at this stuff. Don't just take what I just said here. So I will ask you to satisfy believe it. Go back and listen, and you'll
793 02:13:27 --> 02:13:35 see me specifically point, these is a little too clean, I would say trade up into that area here. It did it, pumped into it. And then would it do behave in a
794 02:13:35 --> 02:13:46 manner where it's seeking what this count sold off? small, little fair value gap in here, which it went through. What are you thinking? What are you thinking?
795 02:13:49 --> 02:14:05 Right there, we traded right through this small little inefficiency. Right there. What do you think that that might offer us? It's not guaranteed? But what
796 02:14:05 --> 02:14:18 would you consider that to be? I use weight so that way, you wouldn't remind you because of the color inversion for Vega. So if we get lower down here, and we
797 02:14:18 --> 02:14:29 trade back up to this area here, I would like to see it trade too and as much as what the high. Why? Because we only have the high of the fair Vega nothing else
798 02:14:29 --> 02:14:39 went through Except there's one single pass. So in this instance, we can allow for it to completely trade back to through and have a mohawk and that's
799 02:14:39 --> 02:14:48 completely permissible. And then we'll see if it offers resistance there and see if it was a trade down below this candles low. That will be a new objective.
800 02:14:48 --> 02:14:58 Because there sell Cibolo that candles low. It's a daily low and then we look forward to reach down into the sell side below here. But prior to that, where
801 02:14:58 --> 02:15:05 else could you expect to see The partial if you're bearish, and you're just learning, and you don't want to hold on to something that needs to go through
802 02:15:05 --> 02:15:15 all this price action, because it could go down into this area, bounce back up to the low of that night scare you. What could you reach for consequent
803 02:15:15 --> 02:15:17 encouragement of this week
804 02:15:22 --> 02:15:32 can go down to there and come all the way back up to this level here. And then, you know, break lower. So when you have these balanced price ranges of back and
805 02:15:32 --> 02:15:42 forth price action like that, remember, it takes a lot it did rip right through that unless it's extremely heavy, and it's being powered through with a lot of
806 02:15:42 --> 02:15:51 other factors behind it. But we might not get that this week. So it's important to know where you want to take your partials which will be below this low here,
807 02:15:53 --> 02:16:02 consequent coachmen here, and it could come back up, traded this one here, or just a little bit below it, not take these lows out, come right back up and
808 02:16:02 --> 02:16:13 trade into the constant encouragement of this. Trade right back to that, and then at a later time, take out the sell side. That's what makes trading with a
809 02:16:14 --> 02:16:23 high resistance liquidity run, which is trading through these types of consolidations. You have to be able to pick where it's reasonable for you to
810 02:16:23 --> 02:16:33 take partials. So I'm I'm tipping my hand and to you because you've spent the time here, and I'm kind of rewarding your your patients listening to this. The
811 02:16:33 --> 02:16:41 trades that I take partials on are the ones that I'm trading inside of a high resistance liquidity run. If I'm trading on a low resistance, liquidity run
812 02:16:41 --> 02:16:51 signature, I'm not taking any partials, they're full polls. That means whatever I get in it, I'm picking my target, and I'm just letting it go. high resistance
813 02:16:51 --> 02:16:59 liquidity runs are still likely to pan out and my targets could still be met. But I don't know for certain if it's going to happen during the session, I'm
814 02:16:59 --> 02:17:09 willing to sit in front of charts. So I have to pick out where my partials are, where I know I have a time my day is scheduled. It may not seem like that right
815 02:17:09 --> 02:17:15 now. Because my wife's down here, probably pissed off because I'm a little bit longer than what but she knows that it's likely to happen. And that's why it
816 02:17:15 --> 02:17:24 needs to stop in the 11th of November. So she's been very, very patient, she probably already started eating without me actually, she probably hit me with a
817 02:17:24 --> 02:17:33 great when I go down here. But knowing that the likelihood of the market presenting a reluctance to get through a balanced price range is what makes us a
818 02:17:33 --> 02:17:45 balanced price range. By the way, the prices offered sell side by side sell side by side and it left the range, all this consolidation. So it takes a more
819 02:17:45 --> 02:17:53 meaningful move to get through all that and it generally doesn't happen in one single pass. So what I like to do is either break that range up into where it's
820 02:17:53 --> 02:18:01 reasonable and where it's logical for the market to at least trade to the midpoint of that wick, that could be the first target to take a partial if
821 02:18:01 --> 02:18:13 you're bearish, the low of that candle, the consequent encroachment of this wick and it need not take the lows out here to still be profitable. And then down
822 02:18:13 --> 02:18:20 here, I expect it to try to do some kind of a fake thing, right? Trades, this level doesn't quite get down here yet, and maybe come back up to consequent
823 02:18:20 --> 02:18:31 crush on this wick or the low of it. And then move lower, doesn't have to do that. But I make allowance for that when I'm trading against high resistance
824 02:18:31 --> 02:18:42 liquidity runs. That low resistance liquidity runs, I don't have any partials in I will stick out stick my entire trade on the initial entry and my stop, I'll
825 02:18:42 --> 02:18:51 just manage it to where I can kick the risk away. And then once it's removed, I just let it go. Because my conviction behind the the analysis and the trade is
826 02:18:51 --> 02:18:58 that it's more, it's more probable that it's going to go where I think it's gonna go and not need for me to scale off anything because it might have a
827 02:18:59 --> 02:19:06 retracement, it's deeper than I'm willing to accept or be able to manage because I can't be in front of charts because I've scheduled this much time for my day
828 02:19:06 --> 02:19:19 to do this and other places to be other things that take care of or requirements for my family. So that's that and let's go over real quick though. Any gap lower
829 02:19:19 --> 02:19:27 opening at Sunday and little wall here in about three hours. The drop below this and opening if it does that we can see it trade back up here and all the way
830 02:19:27 --> 02:19:35 back to the top of the fairway gap because it's only had one pass through and nothing else has happened since the formation of the Faraday gap. So very
831 02:19:35 --> 02:19:43 critical rule based idea when it comes to trading the inversion fair value gaps. The rule based idea is very specific. It's not complicated. You know exactly
832 02:19:43 --> 02:19:50 when they anticipate certain ones that stay open now when they anticipate when they are going to completely fill in. When is it best case scenario for it to go
833 02:19:50 --> 02:20:00 halfway. You now have got that information now. So when I talk about in my book, you'll see this video being prompted to you as a amplification of What I just
834 02:20:00 --> 02:20:09 mentioned about trading inversion, fair value gaps, okay? No cost, you don't need to buy my book. Okay? I just explained it here. Alright, so let's go over
835 02:20:09 --> 02:20:17 to a guy who writes a book and tells everybody not to buy it. Again, it's already rich and doesn't need the money. Alright, so we go over here and look at
836 02:20:17 --> 02:20:30 the sell side here. And as a buy side and bounce still remaining there. So initially, the inbound starts here to here. Okay, so it looks very similar to
837 02:20:30 --> 02:20:45 what we were outlining on the ES. So that's this, okay. And because in this imbalance, we had all this price delivery down. So the only remaining portion of
838 02:20:45 --> 02:20:55 inefficiency for sell side, because it's biocide, imbalance, it's inefficient for sell side, but look at all these candles, we went down in. So this level
839 02:20:55 --> 02:21:03 here on this candle is low, this candle is high. This is the remaining inefficiency, it's lacking sell side delivery, that means movement lower by
840 02:21:03 --> 02:21:18 price. So we use that information is below this lowest sell side. And the inefficiencies here. So the market could draw, draw down into this, these two PV
841 02:21:18 --> 02:21:27 arrays or discount by nature. And that's what I expect to see, at some point, you know, I'd like to see a framework that would allow me to see this inversion,
842 02:21:27 --> 02:21:35 fairway get to see a trade entry, and then reach down here, and that would be something I would like to do. That's really, really what I'd like to do. But how
843 02:21:35 --> 02:21:44 we open, you know, if we open relatively unchanged, I'm not gonna be so you know, fever pitch to, to get short at that inversion pay gap. I mean, I'd like
844 02:21:44 --> 02:21:51 to see a trade there, start to move lower, create an imbalance a fair value, get on a lower timeframe, trade into the fair value gap, and then use these areas
845 02:21:51 --> 02:22:00 down here as the draw from my trade. So what did I just gave you, not a plan a plan B, I gave you very specific things. If it does this, I will do that. If it
846 02:22:00 --> 02:22:08 does that thing. I will do that. I'm not going long. Did you hear anything about going long? No. So it's not playing a Plan B, I gave you two scenarios that I
847 02:22:08 --> 02:22:17 feel confident that if I get them, I will sell short, NASDAQ, I will sell short with a live account, I will make money with a live account trading these setups
848 02:22:17 --> 02:22:25 because I believe it's this is what's being framed, okay? I'm not saying that you should take these trades, I'm just saying that I'm willing to do it. If I'm
849 02:22:25 --> 02:22:33 in front of charts, if that materializes at the time I'm looking at it, I will use this framework to take that trade. That is not a trade signal, that is an
850 02:22:33 --> 02:22:39 invitation for you to follow me, it's not for you to take it on your own. It's not for you to trade your combine. It's not for you to trade your funded
851 02:22:39 --> 02:22:47 account, it's not for you to try to demonstrate it or your tape read, it's for you to just know what I'm thinking and how I'm utilizing the current market
852 02:22:47 --> 02:22:56 structure. Okay. I want you to be 100% responsible with what I'm sharing here, because I don't want you taking it in some some way, twisting and contorting it,
853 02:22:57 --> 02:23:04 where if you do something and you hurt yourself, nobody told you to do it. I didn't tell you to do it. Okay, I'm just telling you how I see things as it is
854 02:23:04 --> 02:23:15 in this chart right now and how I'd use the information. Right now, I think that is going to be it because I told you I was gonna go after NASDAQ. But we did
855 02:23:15 --> 02:23:26 redacted the dollar index. So if you found this today helpful if it gives you greater insight about the inversion fair value gap of counsel you and helped you
856 02:23:26 --> 02:23:33 in terms of how to measure and manage your expectations as a developing trader or someone that is already profitable. But this finds their way into some kind
857 02:23:33 --> 02:23:41 of a pitfall here and there. I'd greatly appreciate if you give it a thumbs up. It doesn't make me any more money. I promise you because the videos that give me
858 02:23:41 --> 02:23:49 the most thumbs up. Don't pay any more in ad revenue than the ones that don't even put thumbs up on. Okay, so it's just a reflection as you as the audience,
859 02:23:49 --> 02:23:55 that you've appreciated me spending my time because I could be doing other things. I don't need to do this. But if you're getting value from it, the way
860 02:23:55 --> 02:24:04 you tell me is the thumbs up. That's all you have to worry about. It's cheap, it's free, doesn't cost you anything takes a second to do it. It just motivates
861 02:24:04 --> 02:24:12 me to do more of it. We'll like still do it if there's only a new one like or one thumbs up probably. But I just like to see it. It's an encouragement to me.
862 02:24:12 --> 02:24:21 So I wish you all very pleasant remainder of Sunday. I'm quite certain I'll be talking to you on Twitter tomorrow, Lord willing in to talk to you then be safe.
