1 | 00:02:45 --> 00:02:50 | ICT: Well, good morning. It is good morning. Audio check. |
2 | 00:02:57 --> 00:02:59 | It's a little loud, isn't it? |
3 | 00:03:02 --> 00:03:07 | I sound |
4 | 00:03:07 --> 00:03:14 | like I had multiple read applicants. Now, give me a second here, folks, I |
5 | 00:03:28 --> 00:03:29 | how do you check? How do you check? |
6 | 00:03:37 --> 00:03:38 | How do you check? One, I |
7 | 00:03:45 --> 00:03:46 | audio check too. |
8 | 00:03:56 --> 00:03:58 | Okay. I think we I think we'll be fine. Now. I |
9 | 00:04:06 --> 00:04:11 | All right. So welcome back to the number one live streamer, one YouTube, the |
10 | 00:04:11 --> 00:04:19 | ghost with the most I've been dying to say that I'm nothing on one streamer and |
11 | 00:04:19 --> 00:04:22 | the same answer to be pumped. I know the guys that like to say they are they're |
12 | 00:04:22 --> 00:04:23 | getting their panties on a bunch. |
13 | 00:04:29 --> 00:04:36 | All right, so we're going to have a kind of, like an interactive session this |
14 | 00:04:36 --> 00:04:43 | morning. I have my son, Caleb, sitting next to me, who was tardy arriving here. |
15 | 00:04:43 --> 00:04:50 | So we're going about to be doing the Zoom type of thing. We'll have to have |
16 | 00:04:50 --> 00:04:54 | him join us that way, because that way traffic will be a factor for him. But |
17 | 00:04:54 --> 00:05:01 | he's here in person. You want to say hi to him. Come. Hello morning. How y'all |
18 | 00:05:01 --> 00:05:05 | doing? Say it again so we can talk when you're talking, because they like to |
19 | 00:05:05 --> 00:05:08 | think I'm doing Pinterest. Okay, I'm talking. I mean, you're talking to |
20 | 00:05:08 --> 00:05:14 | anything right now. Alright. Anyway, I hope you're all doing well, and I |
21 | 00:05:14 --> 00:05:21 | believe that everybody that has ever watched my videos has probably sent me a |
22 | 00:05:21 --> 00:05:25 | happy birthday wish some way, shape or form, and I appreciate and thank you for |
23 | 00:05:25 --> 00:05:31 | all of that. So I'm officially 52 years old, so we're going to talk a little bit |
24 | 00:05:31 --> 00:05:36 | about what led to some of the things I was sharing, and then you saw it paying |
25 | 00:05:36 --> 00:05:41 | out real time in your charts after I said it would likely do so, and I'm |
26 | 00:05:41 --> 00:05:46 | going to give you some tips on turtle soup. So the lecture for turtle soup is |
27 | 00:05:46 --> 00:05:51 | this morning as well. Let me preface it by saying turtle soup is this the name |
28 | 00:05:51 --> 00:05:58 | that I like? Because I'd like the the kind of like a little snub against the |
29 | 00:05:58 --> 00:06:04 | turtle traders, uh, Richard Dennis. He got, he traded a bunch in terms of |
30 | 00:06:05 --> 00:06:09 | different markets and whatnot, and he made a point of saying anyone can learn |
31 | 00:06:09 --> 00:06:13 | how to be a trader. And he picked a number of people out of different walks |
32 | 00:06:13 --> 00:06:16 | of life, and taught him how to trade a trend following model, which was rather |
33 | 00:06:16 --> 00:06:21 | simple, but not simple to follow, had a very, very low strike rate, very low |
34 | 00:06:21 --> 00:06:26 | accuracy. But when it would win, it would capture big, huge runs, you know, |
35 | 00:06:26 --> 00:06:32 | long term trends. It was based on a 20 day high or low breakout. And I don't, |
36 | 00:06:32 --> 00:06:38 | obviously, I don't trade breakouts. I'd like to see retail resistance, you know, |
37 | 00:06:38 --> 00:06:41 | pegged, and then reverse, and then look for something that would take me to the |
38 | 00:06:41 --> 00:06:44 | other side of the other side of the spectrum in terms of, like a discount |
39 | 00:06:44 --> 00:06:50 | market and vice versa. So when I say turtle soup, it's kind of like my |
40 | 00:06:50 --> 00:06:58 | version of a reversal pattern. And I'll counsel you to take a look at the book |
41 | 00:06:58 --> 00:07:02 | street smarts, by Linda Rasch and Larry Connors. I think it's a book that |
42 | 00:07:02 --> 00:07:07 | everybody should have in their library. It has a lot of really neat little |
43 | 00:07:07 --> 00:07:16 | individual setups. I was more impressed by the little concise views of how to |
44 | 00:07:16 --> 00:07:20 | interpret price action around certain pattern formations. It's a little bit |
45 | 00:07:20 --> 00:07:26 | pricey, but I think it's worth it. I paid $175 for the book in the mid 90s |
46 | 00:07:27 --> 00:07:30 | when it was first introduced, and I just, I think it's a wonderful book. I |
47 | 00:07:30 --> 00:07:34 | don't subscribe to everything in there, because it's a lot to do with indicators |
48 | 00:07:34 --> 00:07:41 | and such, but I believe that book had the largest influence on me in terms of |
49 | 00:07:41 --> 00:07:48 | understanding stop hunts. So when a stop hunt takes place, it made sense for me |
50 | 00:07:48 --> 00:07:52 | to understand what was going on when I read that book. So that book had an |
51 | 00:07:52 --> 00:07:57 | influence on me as an early developing trader, trying to find my groove, trying |
52 | 00:07:57 --> 00:08:02 | to find a lot of confidence in the things that I deal with today when I'm |
53 | 00:08:02 --> 00:08:08 | reading price action, but she she has a pattern in there. Linda Rask has a |
54 | 00:08:08 --> 00:08:13 | pattern in that book. It's called turtle soup, where they facetiously made, kind |
55 | 00:08:14 --> 00:08:19 | of like a snubbing little jest against the turtle breakout system, where many |
56 | 00:08:19 --> 00:08:24 | times, since their strike rate was so low, they said, Okay, well, if it's so |
57 | 00:08:24 --> 00:08:28 | low, well let's do the opposite, meaning that if they try to buy a breakout above |
58 | 00:08:28 --> 00:08:33 | the 20 day high, many times that's going to fail. So since they had a low strike |
59 | 00:08:33 --> 00:08:36 | rate, and being accurate, doing that, so therefore there must be an opportunity |
60 | 00:08:36 --> 00:08:41 | there to do the opposite. So if it breaks out above a 20 day high, reverse |
61 | 00:08:41 --> 00:08:46 | and go back into the range and take that as a trade. So hence turtle suit. So the |
62 | 00:08:46 --> 00:08:51 | turtle traders is what he Richard Dennis named his little collection of off the |
63 | 00:08:51 --> 00:08:56 | street type individuals, different walks of life, trading them to be a trader. He |
64 | 00:08:56 --> 00:09:01 | dubbed in the turtles. So naturally, the the pattern turtle soup makes perfect |
65 | 00:09:01 --> 00:09:08 | sense, because they're, they're cooked, right? Well, I don't look at a 20 day |
66 | 00:09:08 --> 00:09:12 | high. I don't look at a 20 day low. And didn't say that that's that's all there |
67 | 00:09:12 --> 00:09:15 | is to it. There's other things. And I'm going to show you some of those |
68 | 00:09:15 --> 00:09:18 | characteristics today before we close. That'll be towards the end the of the |
69 | 00:09:18 --> 00:09:26 | discussion. I'm aiming for around 945 to 10 o'clock, or sooner, depending upon |
70 | 00:09:26 --> 00:09:30 | how my wife comes back to the house and disrupts everything. So that's going to |
71 | 00:09:30 --> 00:09:36 | be the determinant factor that ends the stream. So I'm sending a live stream |
72 | 00:09:36 --> 00:09:40 | with you in my dining room so you can hear all the ambience that's going on |
73 | 00:09:40 --> 00:09:44 | behind it, because I'm not here for you, I'm here for my son, so I'm teaching |
74 | 00:09:44 --> 00:09:48 | him. So this is what would be going on anyway. So you're here like it would be |
75 | 00:09:48 --> 00:09:52 | if you were sitting at the table with us. You just just being quiet and taking |
76 | 00:09:52 --> 00:10:01 | notes. Alright? So I want to open up with, yes, we'll be doing London. I. So |
77 | 00:10:01 --> 00:10:04 | there'll be an episode where I'm going to be live streaming the london session. |
78 | 00:10:04 --> 00:10:08 | So that way you can take some of the concepts that I'm teaching you this week |
79 | 00:10:08 --> 00:10:11 | and you can apply it to that time frame. So if you're not a New York session |
80 | 00:10:11 --> 00:10:14 | trader, whether it be the morning session or the afternoon session, you |
81 | 00:10:14 --> 00:10:18 | can't do that for sleep or business or whatever, and you want to be trading in |
82 | 00:10:18 --> 00:10:21 | a London session, I will be, I'll be doing that within the next two weeks. I |
83 | 00:10:21 --> 00:10:25 | don't want to promise a specific date, because every time I try to do that, |
84 | 00:10:25 --> 00:10:29 | something invariably comes up and messes it all up. So just know that it'll be in |
85 | 00:10:29 --> 00:10:33 | the next two weeks. Okay, how long am I gonna be live streaming and doing this? |
86 | 00:10:33 --> 00:10:37 | I don't know, so just show up every time it happens. And if you can't be here |
87 | 00:10:37 --> 00:10:42 | live, just wants to replay. It's fine. But today I want to talk initially about |
88 | 00:10:42 --> 00:10:46 | the Asian session around when the market starts trading at the six o'clock |
89 | 00:10:46 --> 00:10:51 | restart. So again, as we talked about, at 5pm every day, there's a one hour |
90 | 00:10:51 --> 00:10:56 | break in indices, and then they resume trading at six o'clock, going into the |
91 | 00:10:56 --> 00:11:02 | seven to nine o'clock time frame, where we can anticipate not a lot of |
92 | 00:11:02 --> 00:11:07 | volatility. But there's something there that if you're a working class hero in |
93 | 00:11:07 --> 00:11:10 | the States, and you come home and you work nine to five, you come home, grab |
94 | 00:11:10 --> 00:11:15 | something, Eat Real quick, maybe pull your computer up, and let's see what the |
95 | 00:11:15 --> 00:11:20 | market's going to do at the new open at 6pm and then watch it going into Asia. |
96 | 00:11:20 --> 00:11:24 | That might be your only opportunity to trade. So we're going to talk about that |
97 | 00:11:24 --> 00:11:29 | today, trying to give you a resource and perspective at that time of day, how to |
98 | 00:11:29 --> 00:11:32 | look for the setup using what I've taught this week. Okay, so you can see, |
99 | 00:11:32 --> 00:11:36 | nothing's changing. Nothing's morphing into some complicated thing. It's just a |
100 | 00:11:36 --> 00:11:41 | matter of taking your personal life, your your perspective on when it is |
101 | 00:11:41 --> 00:11:44 | appropriate for you to be sitting in front of the charts, and then I'm going |
102 | 00:11:44 --> 00:11:47 | to show you how to apply it to those specific times of day. So you have, |
103 | 00:11:47 --> 00:11:55 | let's see, we got London, New York open. We have the pm session in New York, and |
104 | 00:11:55 --> 00:12:01 | then we have the Asian session. So we have a plethora of opportunities, but |
105 | 00:12:01 --> 00:12:06 | it's up to you define which one you're going to operate in. Okay? So in my |
106 | 00:12:06 --> 00:12:10 | opinion, and this is just purely my opinion, it's not to sway you. So if |
107 | 00:12:10 --> 00:12:14 | this is the time that you're going to be working in, you know, after 5pm coming |
108 | 00:12:14 --> 00:12:19 | home from work in the States, this is all new york local time, by the way, if |
109 | 00:12:19 --> 00:12:22 | you're only able to do a couple hours in the evening before going to bed and |
110 | 00:12:22 --> 00:12:26 | starting it all over again, going to work the following morning. Just know |
111 | 00:12:26 --> 00:12:33 | that this is the least enticing time of day for me to trade me personally. So |
112 | 00:12:33 --> 00:12:36 | and now it sounds like I'm dumping on that, and that's going to be very |
113 | 00:12:36 --> 00:12:40 | discouraging for you, because that's the one you're really only able to trade |
114 | 00:12:40 --> 00:12:45 | with it could be a little just disenchanting or deflating to you |
115 | 00:12:45 --> 00:12:49 | saying, okay, YCT says this time of day sucks, but you know, if that's where you |
116 | 00:12:49 --> 00:12:53 | got to start, while you have your job, and you can grow from that, just know |
117 | 00:12:53 --> 00:12:58 | that that's, this is the least one, least of the time of day that I'm |
118 | 00:12:58 --> 00:13:01 | interested in trading, which goes along with what I said when I was teaching |
119 | 00:13:01 --> 00:13:06 | Forex, predominantly, I'm not interested in the agent session all that much. So |
120 | 00:13:06 --> 00:13:11 | since we're gonna be talking about that time of day, we're gonna see how to use |
121 | 00:13:11 --> 00:13:16 | this new day opening gap theory with that time of day, and then incorporate |
122 | 00:13:16 --> 00:13:20 | the things I've talked about early on. So with all that, let's get into the |
123 | 00:13:20 --> 00:13:26 | business. I'm going to scroll back here we have this is my NQ template, so when |
124 | 00:13:26 --> 00:13:31 | I'm watching price, this is what it looks like. Okay, I will have |
125 | 00:13:31 --> 00:13:35 | annotations. I will have things that I want to call on when I need to see it or |
126 | 00:13:35 --> 00:13:38 | reference if I second guess a number. If I'm looking at my notepad, and maybe |
127 | 00:13:38 --> 00:13:42 | I've done something like anybody else would as a human being, I write down a |
128 | 00:13:42 --> 00:13:45 | number that doesn't just, it doesn't seem right. It seems like, wait a |
129 | 00:13:45 --> 00:13:49 | minute, that doesn't that number was probably written down incorrectly. Maybe |
130 | 00:13:49 --> 00:13:53 | I was looking at the phone. Maybe I was listening to my wife ask me something |
131 | 00:13:53 --> 00:13:57 | and tell me that, you know, make sure this is something to that effect, you |
132 | 00:13:57 --> 00:14:00 | know, I'm a husband too, right? Or one of my kids distract me, or my dogs |
133 | 00:14:00 --> 00:14:04 | distract me, and then I write down a number wrong. You've heard me miss call |
134 | 00:14:04 --> 00:14:08 | a market maker. Buy model as a market maker, sell model. When I said |
135 | 00:14:08 --> 00:14:11 | redistribution, when it should have been a re accumulation. So that's an element |
136 | 00:14:11 --> 00:14:13 | of humanism, and we're going to make a mistake. |
137 | 00:14:15 --> 00:14:20 | I may need to call the information back onto the chart. I don't like the habit |
138 | 00:14:20 --> 00:14:25 | on my chart, I only have annotations for the sake of teaching you. I know what |
139 | 00:14:25 --> 00:14:29 | I'm looking for, and I know what I'm focusing on for that particular session |
140 | 00:14:29 --> 00:14:33 | or that day, and I know the key levels, because they're usually written on a |
141 | 00:14:33 --> 00:14:37 | piece of paper next to me. I'm not interested in having a lot of stuff on |
142 | 00:14:37 --> 00:14:40 | my chart, because what that'll do, number one, it clutters it up. My eye |
143 | 00:14:40 --> 00:14:44 | goes to it. It may and may be a factor for you. Where you start looking at the |
144 | 00:14:44 --> 00:14:47 | lines and you wonder, How many times did it touch? It becomes a distraction, |
145 | 00:14:47 --> 00:14:52 | right? So if you keep your chart naked, but you have the price levels in mind, |
146 | 00:14:52 --> 00:14:58 | what you're actually doing is you're learning to trade naked, and by trading |
147 | 00:14:58 --> 00:15:03 | naked, you're not going to have. Any influence at all, except for what the |
148 | 00:15:03 --> 00:15:07 | price is actually doing at the time while you're looking at it. So in the |
149 | 00:15:07 --> 00:15:12 | beginning, I say this, it's okay for you to have the annotations on your chart. |
150 | 00:15:12 --> 00:15:19 | Initially, that's fine, but having them on, you know, once you understand what |
151 | 00:15:19 --> 00:15:22 | you're doing, you want to try to try to gravitate to that where you're trying to |
152 | 00:15:22 --> 00:15:26 | have as little as possible on your charts and keeping them clean, because |
153 | 00:15:26 --> 00:15:29 | you'll find what you can't really appreciate right now, while you're new |
154 | 00:15:29 --> 00:15:33 | or haven't really done these types of things. By watching price with these |
155 | 00:15:34 --> 00:15:38 | tools and these reference points being referred to while watching price |
156 | 00:15:38 --> 00:15:43 | deliver, you'll find once you understand how to use this information, and by |
157 | 00:15:43 --> 00:15:46 | having them on a notepad next to you, and you're constantly referring to the |
158 | 00:15:46 --> 00:15:52 | relationship to where prices right now versus them on a external piece of |
159 | 00:15:52 --> 00:15:57 | paper, or maybe a notepad, or not a notepad, but like a like a tablet, it |
160 | 00:15:59 --> 00:16:03 | needs to be external from the chart, and that way it'll allow you to be flexible. |
161 | 00:16:03 --> 00:16:08 | And I noticed in my own development when I would sense that the market was |
162 | 00:16:08 --> 00:16:12 | probably in trouble and not going to be continuously moving where I wanted to |
163 | 00:16:12 --> 00:16:16 | go, when I had all these types of annotations on my chart, what it what it |
164 | 00:16:16 --> 00:16:22 | did for me was it kind of like helped me in an adverse way of holding on |
165 | 00:16:22 --> 00:16:28 | stubbornly and say, No, I'm imposing my will. It's going to do this because I |
166 | 00:16:28 --> 00:16:32 | have these lines and things annotated on my chart, so it's going to happen. And |
167 | 00:16:32 --> 00:16:36 | for me to break out of that, I had to force myself eventually. It didn't |
168 | 00:16:36 --> 00:16:40 | happen fast. It didn't happen real quick, but I had to move away from |
169 | 00:16:40 --> 00:16:45 | having annotations entirely at all on my chart. And then I became a lot more |
170 | 00:16:45 --> 00:16:48 | flexible where I could see, okay, yeah, this is problematic. It's telling me |
171 | 00:16:49 --> 00:16:53 | because price is showing all kinds of signatures, and signatures are types of |
172 | 00:16:53 --> 00:16:56 | things I talked about, like where we didn't see it trade into a fair value |
173 | 00:16:56 --> 00:17:00 | gaps, midpoint or consequent encroachment, if it trades up into it |
174 | 00:17:00 --> 00:17:05 | when we're bearish and it fails to touch that, that is indicative of weakness, |
175 | 00:17:05 --> 00:17:08 | because if it can't even touch the midpoint of the fair value gap or |
176 | 00:17:08 --> 00:17:13 | inefficiency, then it's decidedly weak, right? So we can really feel confident |
177 | 00:17:13 --> 00:17:19 | that if we take another bearish order block as an entry, if we get A a fair |
178 | 00:17:19 --> 00:17:24 | value gap after that one that's on a 15 second chart, it's going to probably be |
179 | 00:17:24 --> 00:17:28 | a winner, because everything is indicating that it's now going to be |
180 | 00:17:28 --> 00:17:34 | moving one sided, decisively lower, because it can't even trade up to a PD |
181 | 00:17:34 --> 00:17:39 | array. So if the PD arrays are failing when I'm already looking for a short and |
182 | 00:17:39 --> 00:17:43 | they can't even fill in or just trade back to the midpoint of it. That's |
183 | 00:17:43 --> 00:17:49 | wonderful insight. That's wonderful it keys up on this is going to be a nice |
184 | 00:17:49 --> 00:17:54 | run, and then look for the inefficiency below price, or a single low, or |
185 | 00:17:54 --> 00:17:59 | relatively good lows for it to trade, to sell side liquidity. But I just want to |
186 | 00:17:59 --> 00:18:03 | mention this before we get into it, because you're going to see a lot of |
187 | 00:18:03 --> 00:18:07 | lines again today on the chart. And I want you to understand that I don't have |
188 | 00:18:07 --> 00:18:11 | this on my chart, but you need this initially for you to study, because |
189 | 00:18:11 --> 00:18:15 | you're not supposed to be pushing any buttons, even on a demo. You're supposed |
190 | 00:18:15 --> 00:18:19 | to be studying how price gravitates and moves around them and pulls back to them |
191 | 00:18:19 --> 00:18:23 | as a kind of like a magnet, and draws price back to them, not just the one |
192 | 00:18:23 --> 00:18:28 | time. It will constantly refer back to them, which is what, in my opinion, |
193 | 00:18:28 --> 00:18:34 | proves unequivocally that there is absolutely an algorithm. And anyone that |
194 | 00:18:34 --> 00:18:38 | looks at this and studies it, they're going to have to come to the conclusion |
195 | 00:18:38 --> 00:18:44 | that either their structured randomness, which is an oxymoron, or there's |
196 | 00:18:44 --> 00:18:49 | something in control, and they keep going back to these levels that's never |
197 | 00:18:49 --> 00:18:54 | really been referred to in history as a repeating phenomenon until I revealed it |
198 | 00:18:54 --> 00:19:01 | to you all. So having that generic perspective grow in terms of new week, |
199 | 00:19:01 --> 00:19:06 | opening gaps, new day, opening gaps. Those are your primary factors for |
200 | 00:19:06 --> 00:19:13 | determining bias. Now the bias can be reduced to this just the session that |
201 | 00:19:13 --> 00:19:18 | you're trading. It can be reduced down to that hour. So we can have models that |
202 | 00:19:18 --> 00:19:22 | build what's the hour that we're about to start trading in. What's that bias |
203 | 00:19:22 --> 00:19:28 | going to be? What's the bias for the next three hours? That's typically like |
204 | 00:19:28 --> 00:19:34 | a session. What's the bias for the entire morning before noon, lunch time |
205 | 00:19:34 --> 00:19:40 | in New York? What is the entire daily change bias? What is that going to be? |
206 | 00:19:40 --> 00:19:43 | And how to, how to, how do we arrive at that? Well, you're going to use the same |
207 | 00:19:43 --> 00:19:47 | things I taught this week. You're just going to be looking for a starting |
208 | 00:19:47 --> 00:19:51 | point. When is it going to set the beginning point? Well, in the evening |
209 | 00:19:51 --> 00:19:58 | time. You're going to be waiting for six o'clock and, you know, annotate where we |
210 | 00:19:58 --> 00:20:04 | open. And. To where we closed at five o'clock. So that our gap in indices, |
211 | 00:20:05 --> 00:20:09 | we're annotating that for the new day opening gap, and whichever that six |
212 | 00:20:09 --> 00:20:13 | o'clock opening price is if it's above or below. If it's above the closing |
213 | 00:20:13 --> 00:20:18 | price at five o'clock, when we have our hour break, if it's above it, that means |
214 | 00:20:18 --> 00:20:24 | that that 6pm opening price is your new day opening gap high, and if it opens |
215 | 00:20:24 --> 00:20:31 | below where we closed at 5pm that means we have a new date. New Day opening gap |
216 | 00:20:31 --> 00:20:35 | lower, and that 6pm opening price that you're going to annotate is going to be |
217 | 00:20:35 --> 00:20:40 | your new day opening gap low, and you find the equilibrium, or not equal to |
218 | 00:20:40 --> 00:20:45 | the consequence, which is the midpoint of it, if it's over 20 handles or so, if |
219 | 00:20:45 --> 00:20:49 | it's over 20 handles, then I'm going to probably have, you know, the midpoint |
220 | 00:20:50 --> 00:20:54 | consequent crochet annotated. Certainly anything above 20 handles, I'm always |
221 | 00:20:54 --> 00:20:57 | going to have that there. If it's less than I'm always going to just eyeball |
222 | 00:20:57 --> 00:21:01 | it. And the reason why I want to have that there, because if, if it's above 20 |
223 | 00:21:01 --> 00:21:06 | handles, and I have a reference point that tells me that level, I know by |
224 | 00:21:06 --> 00:21:09 | eyeballing it, just looking out, not having annotation, I can see where the |
225 | 00:21:09 --> 00:21:12 | upper quadrant and the lower quadrant inside that New Day opening gap would |
226 | 00:21:12 --> 00:21:19 | be. I don't have to have the lines on there. Okay, so my, my emphasis today is |
227 | 00:21:19 --> 00:21:22 | for you to while these are important things to have on your chart initially, |
228 | 00:21:22 --> 00:21:25 | while you're learning, and it doesn't mean rush through it, because you want |
229 | 00:21:25 --> 00:21:29 | to go to a point of not having anything on your chart because I say I don't, and |
230 | 00:21:29 --> 00:21:32 | therefore you want to be just like me, and you think it's going to be a |
231 | 00:21:32 --> 00:21:36 | superpower. It's going to slow you down if you try to trade naked without |
232 | 00:21:36 --> 00:21:40 | understanding or having the experience of seeing weeks and months of this. So |
233 | 00:21:40 --> 00:21:45 | while I'm kind of like ushering Caleb through one month of this stage, he's |
234 | 00:21:45 --> 00:21:49 | looked at charts, you know, before this, so I'm just going through the pantomime |
235 | 00:21:49 --> 00:21:52 | basically, of saying this is what you would be doing if you're new, but you |
236 | 00:21:52 --> 00:21:56 | would be doing it for a couple months, whereas I'm just doing it for four weeks |
237 | 00:21:56 --> 00:21:59 | with him. So that way you can see a baseline of what journal journaling |
238 | 00:21:59 --> 00:22:06 | looks like. And while we're talking about that, I want you to know what his |
239 | 00:22:06 --> 00:22:13 | YouTube channel is. And this is a little picture here that I wanted to refer to |
240 | 00:22:13 --> 00:22:22 | later on, so we'll have this as a talking point in a moment. His YouTube |
241 | 00:22:22 --> 00:22:22 | channel. |
242 | 00:22:35 --> 00:22:42 | Is this correct? Son? Yes, sir. All right, so that is, if you put this in |
243 | 00:22:42 --> 00:22:52 | the Search tab on YouTube, that's his channel, we will have the first video |
244 | 00:22:52 --> 00:22:57 | for his development, his review, how He sees things based on what I taught this |
245 | 00:22:57 --> 00:23:01 | week, and what his charts look like every Everything that I've been |
246 | 00:23:01 --> 00:23:06 | instructed you all to do and him throughout this week, Sunday, probably |
247 | 00:23:06 --> 00:23:10 | Sunday evening. I don't know what time, but it'll be sometime in the evening |
248 | 00:23:10 --> 00:23:15 | time the video will launch there. And then I'm telling him I want to midweek, |
249 | 00:23:16 --> 00:23:20 | like, I need to see what he's doing and what he's looking at, what his charts |
250 | 00:23:20 --> 00:23:23 | are being annotated. Like, I don't want to go the whole week, because if you |
251 | 00:23:23 --> 00:23:28 | spend the entire week doing the wrong things, that's building bad habits, and |
252 | 00:23:28 --> 00:23:31 | I want to know what he's doing in the middle of the week. So there might be a |
253 | 00:23:31 --> 00:23:35 | Wednesday video, and in a weekend video, okay, but if you subscribe to this |
254 | 00:23:35 --> 00:23:41 | channel here, then you'll be able to see the perspective from him, and then where |
255 | 00:23:41 --> 00:23:44 | I'm counseling him, what he's doing correctly, what he's not doing |
256 | 00:23:44 --> 00:23:48 | correctly, and adjust and calibrate where his focus needs to be going |
257 | 00:23:48 --> 00:23:53 | forward. So that way, it's kind of like you're in the classroom with him, but |
258 | 00:23:53 --> 00:23:56 | I'm not answering your questions. Okay? So you have to, you have to just |
259 | 00:23:56 --> 00:24:01 | experience it through his his eyes, his understanding, and you'll see when it |
260 | 00:24:01 --> 00:24:06 | gets in the woodshed too. So anyway, that's I'll have a link for it also on |
261 | 00:24:06 --> 00:24:09 | my YouTube channel. So that way anybody that comes out and tries to put their |
262 | 00:24:09 --> 00:24:12 | little fake bullshit and they try to copy it, so that way they can get |
263 | 00:24:12 --> 00:24:17 | traffic to their channel if you copy any of my videos. ICT gems YouTube channel, |
264 | 00:24:17 --> 00:24:20 | I already see that you're putting stuff up there right from these live streams |
265 | 00:24:20 --> 00:24:23 | I'm gonna be doing. Copyright strikes against you this. Against you this |
266 | 00:24:23 --> 00:24:26 | evening. I already said, do not do that. If you take little snippets and stuff |
267 | 00:24:26 --> 00:24:29 | like that, little pieces, you know, I don't care about that, but you're |
268 | 00:24:29 --> 00:24:32 | putting the entire lecture on your channel. So I'm letting you know I'm |
269 | 00:24:32 --> 00:24:36 | sending shots to you tonight. If you want to take them down. Wonderful. I |
270 | 00:24:36 --> 00:24:39 | won't do it. But if you're doing that, and you're another YouTube channel, like |
271 | 00:24:39 --> 00:24:44 | inner circle trader Brazil, you've been translating everything into your |
272 | 00:24:44 --> 00:24:48 | language there. I'm getting ready to fire them off towards you as well. I do |
273 | 00:24:48 --> 00:24:53 | not give anybody permission to do that. If you use the closed caption option, |
274 | 00:24:54 --> 00:24:58 | you can find your language. Okay? I've shown it several times when I was doing |
275 | 00:24:58 --> 00:25:01 | live streams on how to do it. If. Always there, but you got to wait for the |
276 | 00:25:01 --> 00:25:06 | transcript to be completed by the servers on YouTube. Once that's done, |
277 | 00:25:07 --> 00:25:12 | all the languages can be converted right onto the closed caption. Okay, so, and |
278 | 00:25:12 --> 00:25:16 | that sounds like a dick move, but I kind of warned you. So if you're gonna, if |
279 | 00:25:16 --> 00:25:19 | you want to lose all your ad revenue, because you're gonna put, I'm gonna put |
280 | 00:25:19 --> 00:25:22 | as many videos as you have on your channel. That's how many copies strike |
281 | 00:25:22 --> 00:25:27 | us. Copy right? Strikes I'm going to put against your channel. So just don't do |
282 | 00:25:27 --> 00:25:32 | it okay, because you're you're gonna lose everything. So with that said, this |
283 | 00:25:32 --> 00:25:38 | little picture here, I wanted to talk about this as we open up going into the |
284 | 00:25:38 --> 00:25:46 | charts. What this does. It depicts the the idea of everybody out there trying |
285 | 00:25:46 --> 00:25:51 | to do something for the sake of attention, clout, ad revenue, clicks |
286 | 00:25:52 --> 00:25:55 | engagements, because that's what makes people money on like Twitter or |
287 | 00:25:55 --> 00:26:01 | whatever. But when you're trying to influence other people with price action |
288 | 00:26:01 --> 00:26:05 | or techniques to trade with, and you're trying to inspire them to do something |
289 | 00:26:06 --> 00:26:10 | to make money and prevent losing money, or you're trying to get people all fired |
290 | 00:26:10 --> 00:26:17 | up. This picture really communicates, in my mind, you know, what most people are |
291 | 00:26:17 --> 00:26:24 | experiencing, it's the blind leading the blind. Okay? And I hope that this week |
292 | 00:26:24 --> 00:26:29 | sitting with me proves that number one, my concepts are absolutely the source |
293 | 00:26:29 --> 00:26:34 | code to price. It's exactly what price is going to do at the times that it's |
294 | 00:26:34 --> 00:26:40 | expected to do it. It's not ambiguous. It's not it's kind of close. It's right |
295 | 00:26:40 --> 00:26:45 | to the tick. It's right to the tick, okay? And it repeats. And I have the |
296 | 00:26:45 --> 00:26:48 | ability to communicate that and transpose that information into |
297 | 00:26:48 --> 00:26:53 | students, and they're able to use this information independent of me saying |
298 | 00:26:53 --> 00:26:56 | what I think the market's going to do. In other words, I have students that can |
299 | 00:26:56 --> 00:27:00 | do what I've taught them, and they don't ever need to watch another ICT video. |
300 | 00:27:00 --> 00:27:04 | And that should be your goal. Your goal should be, once you go through this |
301 | 00:27:04 --> 00:27:09 | mentorship, your goal should I'm never going to go watch something ICT posted. |
302 | 00:27:10 --> 00:27:13 | It might be just as let me just tap in and see what he's doing now. I am |
303 | 00:27:13 --> 00:27:17 | interested in what he says, but I've been there in a couple months, or six |
304 | 00:27:17 --> 00:27:20 | months or a year. Let me just see what he's up to now. And that's, the |
305 | 00:27:20 --> 00:27:25 | perspective. But really your goal is you never want to watch another ICT video. |
306 | 00:27:25 --> 00:27:28 | You never want to come to my YouTube channel. You don't have to worry about |
307 | 00:27:28 --> 00:27:31 | making more ad revenue for me by clicking on any of my videos. That's |
308 | 00:27:31 --> 00:27:35 | your goal, okay? Because if that's your goal, what that means is you're taking |
309 | 00:27:35 --> 00:27:40 | it serious, and you don't want any tethering between me and you. That's |
310 | 00:27:40 --> 00:27:43 | what a real mentor wants in their students. I don't want any of you |
311 | 00:27:44 --> 00:27:48 | holding on my hand or expecting me to walk you through every little trial and |
312 | 00:27:48 --> 00:27:52 | tribulation you go through as a trader, because I've already covered 99% of |
313 | 00:27:52 --> 00:27:56 | that. But there's a lot of folks out there that are going to try to tell you, |
314 | 00:27:56 --> 00:28:01 | this is good. This isn't good. What ICT said, or they're going to try to strip |
315 | 00:28:01 --> 00:28:07 | it down even to less that hopefully will make them stand out and say, Okay, I'm |
316 | 00:28:07 --> 00:28:11 | going to answer the call for the people that have Tiktok mentality, the |
317 | 00:28:11 --> 00:28:15 | attention span of a gnat, and think that that's going to help them. It's not |
318 | 00:28:15 --> 00:28:18 | going to help you. That won't help you, it'll make you feel like you're getting |
319 | 00:28:18 --> 00:28:22 | right to the point, but that just means that you're going to get to the |
320 | 00:28:22 --> 00:28:26 | actionable things, but you won't have the counseling elements that go around |
321 | 00:28:26 --> 00:28:29 | it, because soon as you find the hardship by doing it, you're going to |
322 | 00:28:29 --> 00:28:32 | quit and think it doesn't work, or you're not going to know how to cope |
323 | 00:28:32 --> 00:28:36 | with it, and then grind through it, which is what I'm doing. I coach you |
324 | 00:28:36 --> 00:28:41 | through this, and it gives you the perspective to maintain or expect going |
325 | 00:28:41 --> 00:28:46 | into it, and then what's the proper perspective after you endure it? That's |
326 | 00:28:46 --> 00:28:50 | mentoring. That's real mentoring. That's not someone that's I'm not here for |
327 | 00:28:50 --> 00:28:54 | clicks, okay? I'm here to make sure that you watch my shit, you understand it |
328 | 00:28:54 --> 00:28:59 | correctly. You do the things that's correctly explained to you, and avoid |
329 | 00:28:59 --> 00:29:02 | all the dumb stuff that's going to either slow you down or mess you up or |
330 | 00:29:02 --> 00:29:08 | derail you. This is, this is how I would be wanting to be trained. I'm taking the |
331 | 00:29:08 --> 00:29:13 | time to make sure that you understand it in detail, and I want to see you succeed |
332 | 00:29:13 --> 00:29:18 | with it. So the blind leading the blind. You know that's always going to be a |
333 | 00:29:18 --> 00:29:24 | factor, but no one can deny that I was all over this this week, every single |
334 | 00:29:24 --> 00:29:34 | day, perfect, not just close, but perfect. Perfect. There's framework that |
335 | 00:29:34 --> 00:29:38 | we're going to pull in with the daily chart today. Okay, because it's salient |
336 | 00:29:38 --> 00:29:44 | to the discussion, but I want you to know that we did not refer to anything |
337 | 00:29:44 --> 00:29:50 | above a 15 minute chart, except for the session on Monday where I showed you |
338 | 00:29:50 --> 00:29:56 | that big gap on the daily chart, which happened to be the new week opening gap. |
339 | 00:29:57 --> 00:30:02 | We'll talk about that today, and then how also. Fits into the equation of how |
340 | 00:30:02 --> 00:30:05 | we're using the clustering of inefficiencies with new day opening gaps |
341 | 00:30:05 --> 00:30:10 | and new week opening gaps. Because I know there's a plethora of questions |
342 | 00:30:10 --> 00:30:15 | that this week has caused you to build up in your mind, or maybe you have a |
343 | 00:30:15 --> 00:30:18 | journal page full of all kinds of questions. I hope I see talks about |
344 | 00:30:18 --> 00:30:21 | this, this, this, this, I might hit some of them today. I may not okay, but just |
345 | 00:30:21 --> 00:30:27 | know that every time you show up here, I'm going to answer something, and it |
346 | 00:30:27 --> 00:30:31 | may be a question that it's been months or longer for some of you, and then I'll |
347 | 00:30:31 --> 00:30:35 | say something that will open your understanding about it and say, oh yeah. |
348 | 00:30:35 --> 00:30:39 | Now it makes perfect sense. And it may not even be me directly saying the very |
349 | 00:30:39 --> 00:30:41 | thing that you have a question about, but because you get further |
350 | 00:30:41 --> 00:30:46 | understanding about another element that supports the underlying question or |
351 | 00:30:46 --> 00:30:50 | concern or doubt you have, then it becomes, oh, well, that cannot make |
352 | 00:30:50 --> 00:30:54 | sense. And there's so many opportunities for me to be able to throw an analogy |
353 | 00:30:54 --> 00:31:01 | from I can't begin to start with one of them, but the session starting at six |
354 | 00:31:01 --> 00:31:05 | o'clock. Okay, we're going to zoom in this little area right here. I'm |
355 | 00:31:23 --> 00:31:31 | all right, there is the five o'clock, or in this case, 459 candle that closes in. |
356 | 00:31:31 --> 00:31:39 | The final print on that candle comes in at 18,558 even the very next candle at |
357 | 00:31:39 --> 00:31:45 | six o'clock, because at our delay where markets are not trading, we open up, and |
358 | 00:31:45 --> 00:31:48 | that's the opening price down here. Okay, so that opening price, which you |
359 | 00:31:48 --> 00:31:56 | can see at the top of the chart, is 18,005 50.25 so between the difference |
360 | 00:31:56 --> 00:32:01 | of where we closed at the five o'clock hour and where we opened at six o'clock, |
361 | 00:32:01 --> 00:32:08 | that is what that's your new day opening gap, and since we opened lower than |
362 | 00:32:08 --> 00:32:17 | where we closed, that means we have a discount. Lower opening is the |
363 | 00:32:17 --> 00:32:23 | difference between this close and this open greater than 20 handles. No, it's |
364 | 00:32:23 --> 00:32:28 | literally less than 10. So am I going to draw a line in there? You can if you |
365 | 00:32:28 --> 00:32:32 | want to have them on your chart. There's nothing wrong with that, Caleb, but if |
366 | 00:32:32 --> 00:32:37 | you are going to follow the rules that I'm teaching on you really shouldn't |
367 | 00:32:37 --> 00:32:40 | need to see that line. Your eyeball should say, Okay, we're right about in |
368 | 00:32:40 --> 00:32:44 | here, that's that's about the middle or consequent curtain. And then if you can |
369 | 00:32:44 --> 00:32:47 | eyeball that, then you can eyeball half of that is the upper quadrant and the |
370 | 00:32:47 --> 00:32:51 | lower quadrant. And it's just a matter of doing it okay, you don't have to have |
371 | 00:32:51 --> 00:32:55 | every single line on your chart, because otherwise it's going to be a lot. And |
372 | 00:32:55 --> 00:33:00 | you don't need a lot. You just need one or two elements to having in mind where |
373 | 00:33:00 --> 00:33:04 | you think the price is going to gravitate to, or gyrate around and based |
374 | 00:33:04 --> 00:33:06 | on like, for instance, we have the economic calendar today, if you've |
375 | 00:33:06 --> 00:33:11 | already done your homework and notice that today there is no medium or high |
376 | 00:33:11 --> 00:33:17 | impact news events, none. It's Friday. Also, we've had a large weekly range, |
377 | 00:33:18 --> 00:33:22 | and we'll talk about that for TGIF purposes before close as well. So when |
378 | 00:33:23 --> 00:33:28 | we have this in here, we're waiting for the market to do what we're waiting for |
379 | 00:33:28 --> 00:33:36 | the market to create motion around this new day opening gap. Do not trade |
380 | 00:33:36 --> 00:33:41 | initially. Soon as you get the gap noted here, you're not in there trying to |
381 | 00:33:41 --> 00:33:47 | trade off of it. Why? Because there's an element of time that has to be referred |
382 | 00:33:47 --> 00:33:53 | to first. Because, as I mentioned in ad nauseam, the markets will not move until |
383 | 00:33:53 --> 00:34:00 | it's time for them to move, which is algorithmic. Yes, price will gyrate. |
384 | 00:34:00 --> 00:34:05 | They may have meaningless, aimless little movements, okay, that I'm not |
385 | 00:34:05 --> 00:34:11 | interested in, but when time is now introduced as the factor that's greatest |
386 | 00:34:11 --> 00:34:16 | importance. That means at seven o'clock to nine o'clock, that's your Asian |
387 | 00:34:16 --> 00:34:23 | session. You can, you can use this new day opening gap now and build it around |
388 | 00:34:23 --> 00:34:29 | the element of liquidity. So what does that mean? Well, if you look at how we |
389 | 00:34:29 --> 00:34:34 | have the market work and gyrate around, I'm going to maximize just this chart. I |
390 | 00:34:34 --> 00:34:37 | know you're over here looking at this stuff like it's some kind of secret |
391 | 00:34:37 --> 00:34:40 | weapon. We're going to we're going to have all these lines amplified on the |
392 | 00:34:40 --> 00:34:43 | chart. I'll show them all to you. And most of everything that you've seen all |
393 | 00:34:43 --> 00:34:48 | week long, nothing's been added except the new day opening gap that was formed |
394 | 00:34:48 --> 00:34:53 | for Friday's trading last night at 6pm Eastern Time. There's nothing else over |
395 | 00:34:53 --> 00:34:57 | here, so stop looking over here or here. Well, it's, it's the same lines you've |
396 | 00:34:57 --> 00:35:03 | been watching all week. But I'm going to maximize this chart here. Here. And I |
397 | 00:35:03 --> 00:35:05 | want you to see what we have done. |
398 | 00:35:10 --> 00:35:15 | We created a high, and then we had created another high. So what is this |
399 | 00:35:15 --> 00:35:20 | high here in relationship to this one? What is that? Caleb, you're gonna you're |
400 | 00:35:20 --> 00:35:29 | gonna speak up relative equal high. Okay, so we annotate that. So above this |
401 | 00:35:29 --> 00:35:34 | high, there's liquidity in this the form of buy side. You want to be annotating |
402 | 00:35:34 --> 00:35:38 | that so that you're gonna be taking screenshots of these types of things |
403 | 00:35:38 --> 00:35:43 | after it's happened, you start like this. You don't try to predict them. |
404 | 00:35:43 --> 00:35:48 | You're trying to avoid. I need to put this to work right now and see if it |
405 | 00:35:48 --> 00:35:54 | works right now. No, you're studying it after it happens. And then you do a walk |
406 | 00:35:54 --> 00:35:58 | forward where you're watching price without any button pushing, without any |
407 | 00:35:58 --> 00:36:03 | kind of hard opinion. But you're doing it with the expectation of collecting |
408 | 00:36:03 --> 00:36:09 | experience watching it. So you're going to be doing it on the top the left, and |
409 | 00:36:14 --> 00:36:19 | that's how I like to entertain mine. Okay, so now we have the market that |
410 | 00:36:19 --> 00:36:25 | opened at six o'clock. We traded above short term high. You can annotate that |
411 | 00:36:25 --> 00:36:31 | as a minor buy side liquidity pool. It drops down, takes out this low. You can |
412 | 00:36:31 --> 00:36:34 | annotate that as a minor sell side liquidity pool. But what you're waiting |
413 | 00:36:34 --> 00:36:41 | for is, you want to see price. Do two things. You want to see it, leave the |
414 | 00:36:41 --> 00:36:46 | new day open gap. You want to see it cross over it and go below it. When it |
415 | 00:36:46 --> 00:36:49 | goes below it, you don't want to see it just trade below. For the sake of going |
416 | 00:36:49 --> 00:36:53 | below the lowest low it. You want to see a short term low taken. It does that? |
417 | 00:36:53 --> 00:36:59 | See that? So what is, what has it done? It set an initial range to build an |
418 | 00:36:59 --> 00:37:03 | engineer liquidity. You don't even need to see this one yet, but what we're |
419 | 00:37:03 --> 00:37:10 | doing is we're seeing how price now annotated here for you that high, and |
420 | 00:37:10 --> 00:37:15 | let's change it to black, because I want it to be different. And we'll do this. |
421 | 00:37:15 --> 00:37:15 | I'm |
422 | 00:37:23 --> 00:37:31 | it. If you hold down Control and click on the line or thing that you want to |
423 | 00:37:31 --> 00:37:35 | copy, don't do it on a little button here. You gotta do it somewhere over |
424 | 00:37:35 --> 00:37:39 | here, and then drag your mouse away from it. It'll copy it for you. I learned |
425 | 00:37:39 --> 00:37:43 | that from my students about mine. Most of everything I learned on trading view |
426 | 00:37:43 --> 00:37:52 | is all from students. So this is a little minor. That's a minor short term. |
427 | 00:37:52 --> 00:38:03 | So it would look like this minor short term. Buy some and you like that real |
428 | 00:38:03 --> 00:38:09 | little. And again, on the top left, okay, and the same thing with this down |
429 | 00:38:09 --> 00:38:13 | here. You're going to hold down Control. Drag from the middle of the line. It'll |
430 | 00:38:13 --> 00:38:23 | copy it, and you put that right there. Drag through a little bit, and now you |
431 | 00:38:23 --> 00:38:30 | want to make sure that that's underneath it, so that's below, so bottom left, and |
432 | 00:38:30 --> 00:38:34 | my change up the cell side, because that's what's below old lows. Cell side |
433 | 00:38:34 --> 00:38:40 | below it, by side above it. Okay. So what that does is it helps annotate your |
434 | 00:38:40 --> 00:38:45 | chart, and when you refer back to it, what I'm doing there is I'm holding down |
435 | 00:38:45 --> 00:38:53 | shift that way. I'm keeping the line straight. It keeps everything nice and |
436 | 00:38:53 --> 00:38:59 | neat. You might want to make that font and text size larger, but for me, I like |
437 | 00:38:59 --> 00:39:01 | that because I don't want so much attention drawn on it. I just want you |
438 | 00:39:01 --> 00:39:04 | to know that that's these are the types of things I want to see in your chart, |
439 | 00:39:04 --> 00:39:07 | around the openings, okay? Or the times I'm teaching you to focus on, like the |
440 | 00:39:07 --> 00:39:10 | seven o'clock in the morning to eight o'clock in the morning to nine o'clock |
441 | 00:39:10 --> 00:39:13 | in the morning, morning session. Since that's your time, you're gonna be |
442 | 00:39:13 --> 00:39:17 | looking for the same event there. Okay, so this is amplifying what's already |
443 | 00:39:17 --> 00:39:23 | been taught in this week's live stream, but I'm applying it to this time of this |
444 | 00:39:23 --> 00:39:26 | time of day. For the folks that can only trade this time of day, they may not be |
445 | 00:39:26 --> 00:39:31 | able to do what you're going to be doing or trade at all, except for this time. |
446 | 00:39:31 --> 00:39:35 | So this is, this is Agent session trading. This stuff works for forex too. |
447 | 00:39:35 --> 00:39:40 | So don't think that it's just a one trick pony. For indices. This is exactly |
448 | 00:39:40 --> 00:39:45 | what you'll be, you'll be doing the same thing in forex. Okay, I don't trade |
449 | 00:39:45 --> 00:39:50 | crypto. I don't know. I've never investigated because I don't care to |
450 | 00:39:50 --> 00:39:54 | trade crypto. And I'll, I'll never do it. I know a lot of people are still |
451 | 00:39:54 --> 00:39:59 | asking about that, but we have a short term sell side liquidity pool below |
452 | 00:39:59 --> 00:40:04 | here. I. And we have a short term buy side look pretty cool here at six |
453 | 00:40:04 --> 00:40:08 | o'clock. And then we have the new day opening gap. So we have new day opening |
454 | 00:40:08 --> 00:40:13 | gap. And what we're watching at that very moment is, you want to see it trade |
455 | 00:40:13 --> 00:40:16 | away from it, which is it? Which it does? Is it going somewhere randomly? |
456 | 00:40:16 --> 00:40:22 | No, it's just going in here to do what it sets an initial range for building an |
457 | 00:40:22 --> 00:40:25 | engineering liquidity that means now there are going to be buy stops that |
458 | 00:40:25 --> 00:40:30 | form right above this high. So this is what you're going to have in your chart. |
459 | 00:40:42 --> 00:40:49 | I'm and on the bottom here. |
460 | 00:40:55 --> 00:41:00 | And some of you are like, Man, this is a lot of lot of stuff to be doing, and I |
461 | 00:41:00 --> 00:41:04 | ain't making money yet. Well, if you don't want to do this, go trade |
462 | 00:41:04 --> 00:41:10 | indicators and check back with me in six months and tell me how you doing. I know |
463 | 00:41:10 --> 00:41:17 | you'll be watching these videos, and I stress this out just a little bit more |
464 | 00:41:17 --> 00:41:32 | because conflicting. So now we have that on the wrong line, sorry. So what we've |
465 | 00:41:32 --> 00:41:36 | done is we've taken out this short term low, and we created an initial sell side |
466 | 00:41:36 --> 00:41:39 | liquidity pool, and we went above this short term height and we created an |
467 | 00:41:39 --> 00:41:44 | initial buy side liquidity pool, okay, why is that classified like that? Why am |
468 | 00:41:44 --> 00:41:48 | I labeling that high, and why am I labeling this low? And why is it initial |
469 | 00:41:48 --> 00:41:54 | buy side and initial sell side? Because we've opened a new day at six o'clock. |
470 | 00:41:54 --> 00:41:59 | We created the inefficiency that is the new day opening gap. It's moved away. |
471 | 00:41:59 --> 00:42:02 | That's the first thing we're looking for. It needs to move away from it. It |
472 | 00:42:02 --> 00:42:07 | does. So what is it going to do? It takes out the short term buy side. Does |
473 | 00:42:07 --> 00:42:11 | it go back now below the new day of being gap? Yes. Why? Because the |
474 | 00:42:11 --> 00:42:16 | algorithm is calibrating and setting and which is this is visually representing |
475 | 00:42:16 --> 00:42:20 | how the algorithm engineers liquidity. It takes a short term pool of liquidity |
476 | 00:42:20 --> 00:42:26 | out, and then goes the opposing side below this low. Now there's a new low |
477 | 00:42:27 --> 00:42:34 | and a new high. After six o'clock. You see that this is the initial high and |
478 | 00:42:34 --> 00:42:39 | the low that every trader that trades at that moment is going to refer to, for |
479 | 00:42:39 --> 00:42:45 | where their stop loss is going to be, so this is no longer a factor. So while |
480 | 00:42:45 --> 00:42:49 | that's important to have on your chart for the purpose of learning, you want to |
481 | 00:42:49 --> 00:42:55 | kind of keep it muted. Don't don't have it so prominent in the chart. |
482 | 00:43:01 --> 00:43:08 | So the same thing down here. But you do want to have it initially as a |
483 | 00:43:08 --> 00:43:12 | screenshot while it's doing this, when it runs up here like this, when it does |
484 | 00:43:12 --> 00:43:18 | that screenshot, it and then later on, if it rolls down and take out that low |
485 | 00:43:18 --> 00:43:23 | screenshot, it again. Because you want to see these screenshots as they go to |
486 | 00:43:23 --> 00:43:27 | the levels of interest. But this, it should do that. Now, what happens if it |
487 | 00:43:27 --> 00:43:31 | did this? If it was in here and it went down there first and it took out that |
488 | 00:43:31 --> 00:43:34 | low? Okay, you would screenshot it as it happens, and then you would anticipate |
489 | 00:43:34 --> 00:43:39 | it running above this high. And what you would do, you know, classically, it will |
490 | 00:43:39 --> 00:43:43 | do that. There are times when we start the new day at six o'clock and it'll |
491 | 00:43:43 --> 00:43:47 | just dilly dally around and do nothing, and it won't even bump above or below. |
492 | 00:43:47 --> 00:43:51 | If it doesn't do that, don't worry about it. That's typically telling you that |
493 | 00:43:51 --> 00:43:54 | Asia is going to be dull. It's not going to do anything. It's probably a good day |
494 | 00:43:54 --> 00:43:59 | for you to just go watch a movie with your spouse, or go exercise and then go |
495 | 00:43:59 --> 00:44:03 | to bed early and get arrested for your work day tomorrow, but you want to be |
496 | 00:44:03 --> 00:44:10 | doing things with a purpose of knowing that it's going to fit the |
497 | 00:44:10 --> 00:44:15 | characteristics that are synonymous with the market, making a sizable move that's |
498 | 00:44:15 --> 00:44:19 | predictable. And if it's this real lethargic and lackluster at six o'clock, |
499 | 00:44:19 --> 00:44:22 | and it doesn't really do anything going into seven o'clock, because that's your |
500 | 00:44:22 --> 00:44:28 | key time. Seven o'clock starts the Asian session, and you think it's just for us. |
501 | 00:44:28 --> 00:44:35 | No, these markets are ran through artificial intelligence, and sometimes |
502 | 00:44:35 --> 00:44:39 | they're tweaked a little bit manually to cause a little bit more excitement or to |
503 | 00:44:39 --> 00:44:44 | disrupt something. Okay, so now we have initial sell side liquidity for the day |
504 | 00:44:45 --> 00:44:50 | and initial buy side liquidity for the day outside of those two reference |
505 | 00:44:50 --> 00:44:53 | points. Then you look to the left and say, Okay, where are the larger pool of |
506 | 00:44:53 --> 00:45:00 | liquidity? Well, obviously it's here. So if we have that once we. Broke through |
507 | 00:45:00 --> 00:45:04 | here. We have to see it do another characteristic with the new day opening |
508 | 00:45:04 --> 00:45:09 | gap. We have to move away from it initially, go to a short term high to |
509 | 00:45:09 --> 00:45:14 | take liquidity out, which it does here, and then drops down below, crossing over |
510 | 00:45:14 --> 00:45:17 | the new day opening gap. So this is where you want to see it coloring |
511 | 00:45:17 --> 00:45:22 | outside the lines. Okay, so many times I've introduced ideas and talk about |
512 | 00:45:22 --> 00:45:26 | specific PD arrays. And when I tell people annotate this level and take that |
513 | 00:45:26 --> 00:45:30 | level, this is a fair value gap. This is an inversion fair value gap. This is, |
514 | 00:45:30 --> 00:45:34 | you know, something else. And soon as someone that's watching it sees it cross |
515 | 00:45:34 --> 00:45:37 | through, they think, aha, it didn't even hold he thought, you have no idea what |
516 | 00:45:37 --> 00:45:39 | the fuck you're talking about. You have no idea what you're talking about. And |
517 | 00:45:39 --> 00:45:43 | this is the stuff that pisses me off, because they they can't wait to do that. |
518 | 00:45:43 --> 00:45:47 | I gotcha. I'm gonna go on social media See what I did here. Did it wrong, and |
519 | 00:45:47 --> 00:45:52 | try to make videos and bullshit. This is the logic behind it. Okay? You want to |
520 | 00:45:52 --> 00:45:56 | see it trade away from the New Day opening gap as it formed. And if it goes |
521 | 00:45:56 --> 00:45:59 | up, it's taking a short term high out. And then you want to see it cross back |
522 | 00:45:59 --> 00:46:04 | over it and seek a short term low, which is what it's doing here. Once it does |
523 | 00:46:04 --> 00:46:09 | that and it crosses back into it again, we have now set initial buy side |
524 | 00:46:09 --> 00:46:13 | liquidity and initial sell side liquidity. Now you're going to wait. |
525 | 00:46:13 --> 00:46:18 | What are you waiting for? ICT, when's the when's the time of day for Asia, |
526 | 00:46:18 --> 00:46:24 | seven o'clock. Okay, go here to the vertical line. Does this seem |
527 | 00:46:24 --> 00:46:28 | complicated yet? Let me know. Let me know if this is complicated. Okay, |
528 | 00:46:28 --> 00:46:33 | because this is really simple stuff. Really, really simple stuff. So now we |
529 | 00:46:33 --> 00:46:41 | have what happened. The market crosses back above New Day opening debt. Does it |
530 | 00:46:41 --> 00:46:48 | take out the low here, right there, as we're heading into, as we're heading |
531 | 00:46:48 --> 00:46:54 | into seven o'clock? What is it doing? Is it moving to this low to challenge this |
532 | 00:46:54 --> 00:46:59 | cell, solid covid? Absolutely not. So. What is it doing here, energetically, |
533 | 00:46:59 --> 00:47:06 | here? What is it doing upside? Right, so it's crossing over the new day opening |
534 | 00:47:06 --> 00:47:12 | gap, and then at seven o'clock. What does it do on the seven, seven o'clock |
535 | 00:47:12 --> 00:47:17 | candle, look close. Let me. Let me take this away for a second. What do you see? |
536 | 00:47:17 --> 00:47:22 | It dips back into just slightly. It retests. It re trades to the new day |
537 | 00:47:22 --> 00:47:27 | opening gap that was formed right over here. You see it touching that. So if |
538 | 00:47:27 --> 00:47:32 | it's going to go back to that after having displacement here, it's already |
539 | 00:47:32 --> 00:47:37 | set the initial boundaries for the cell stops in the buy stops. So the algorithm |
540 | 00:47:37 --> 00:47:43 | is given the signal right here. Now we're touching, we're inside the element |
541 | 00:47:43 --> 00:47:45 | of time. Dave, |
542 | 00:47:50 --> 00:47:58 | so the market should displace above this high relative equal highs challenge the |
543 | 00:47:58 --> 00:48:04 | initial buy side liquidity, and we'll test and hold to see if they can run |
544 | 00:48:04 --> 00:48:08 | above this high. Now, you know, because you sat with me last night, we actually |
545 | 00:48:09 --> 00:48:13 | did this. We actually traded it. We pushed the button, and there it is. But |
546 | 00:48:13 --> 00:48:17 | I'm going to show you the logic behind this. That way you as a individual that |
547 | 00:48:17 --> 00:48:21 | wants to trade the agent session. This is the protocol. This is the guidance. |
548 | 00:48:21 --> 00:48:26 | This is the step by step. This is what you do. This is all you do every single |
549 | 00:48:26 --> 00:48:30 | day. You're looking for these signatures, these characteristics, if |
550 | 00:48:30 --> 00:48:33 | they don't do these things, guess what? You don't do? You don't push a button, |
551 | 00:48:33 --> 00:48:37 | you don't trade it. You don't have high expectations, but you still study it. Is |
552 | 00:48:37 --> 00:48:41 | that clear? Yes, sir. Okay, not that you're going to be trading this time of |
553 | 00:48:41 --> 00:48:44 | day, but I have to make sure that it's the same way for you when you're doing |
554 | 00:48:44 --> 00:48:48 | it in the New York session. So at seven o'clock you're gonna be studying and |
555 | 00:48:48 --> 00:48:52 | looking price, looking at price, to do these same things. So if we look at how |
556 | 00:48:52 --> 00:48:57 | the price opens on this candle, it drops back down and touches and re trades to |
557 | 00:48:57 --> 00:49:03 | the high of that new day opening gap. So everything's in motion. Everything is |
558 | 00:49:03 --> 00:49:09 | set. We did not have a interest in going back below the initial sell side |
559 | 00:49:09 --> 00:49:15 | liquidity that took out this flow. The key things are this. We're gyrating |
560 | 00:49:15 --> 00:49:20 | around the new day, opening gap. You want to see this, but when it comes to |
561 | 00:49:20 --> 00:49:28 | time seven o'clock is your time in Asia, the the algorithm will will come online, |
562 | 00:49:28 --> 00:49:34 | and you'll see buy programs and sell programs begin right at seven o'clock, |
563 | 00:49:34 --> 00:49:39 | or just after it okay, and you're only really interested in until, until nine |
564 | 00:49:39 --> 00:49:43 | o'clock. So if you're a working class hero in the United States, or if you're |
565 | 00:49:43 --> 00:49:49 | overseas and you want to trade in this time of day, your key times are 7pm New |
566 | 00:49:49 --> 00:49:55 | York local time to 9pm New York local time. So it's a small little window of |
567 | 00:49:55 --> 00:50:00 | focus. You don't have a whole long you know, it's not four hours. A it's a very |
568 | 00:50:00 --> 00:50:05 | small segment of time, and I want you to go through your charts, and I want you |
569 | 00:50:05 --> 00:50:08 | to annotate these things, not you Caleb, but everyone else that may have an |
570 | 00:50:08 --> 00:50:13 | interest in this. Even if you don't want to trade this type of or time of day, |
571 | 00:50:13 --> 00:50:17 | it's beneficial for you to log this, because you're going to see things that |
572 | 00:50:17 --> 00:50:21 | will further prove that the markets are algorithmic, and they're, they're |
573 | 00:50:21 --> 00:50:26 | operating on the things I'm teaching you that they do. Okay, so anyway, the down |
574 | 00:50:26 --> 00:50:29 | close candle in here, it trades down touch at the top of the day, opening |
575 | 00:50:29 --> 00:50:33 | gap. And now, because it's, it's seven o'clock, it's proven that it's not going |
576 | 00:50:33 --> 00:50:37 | to go down here. It hasn't have interest in it. And this run here, this right |
577 | 00:50:37 --> 00:50:44 | here, that is indicative that it wants to run. So because it's doing this, this |
578 | 00:50:44 --> 00:50:50 | buy side and balance cell sign efficiency, I would have no interest, as |
579 | 00:50:50 --> 00:50:53 | you saw last night, I'm not interested in seeing come back down into that gap. |
580 | 00:50:53 --> 00:50:57 | So what does that make this gap? It makes it a breakaway gap. And so if it's |
581 | 00:50:57 --> 00:51:02 | going to break away from running higher and not going lower. What's it going to |
582 | 00:51:02 --> 00:51:07 | seek this short term high I want to see. Does it have momentum and speed in which |
583 | 00:51:07 --> 00:51:13 | it takes that relative equal high out this high in this high, when it trades |
584 | 00:51:13 --> 00:51:17 | there, which it does right there, it pops through it real quick and then |
585 | 00:51:17 --> 00:51:26 | comes back. Half of this range consolidates around it, boom, runs into |
586 | 00:51:26 --> 00:51:32 | initial buy side liquidity. So now I want to see this. Treat it as rocket |
587 | 00:51:32 --> 00:51:38 | fuel. You ever see those guys that have their funny cars and they have nitrous |
588 | 00:51:38 --> 00:51:43 | oxide? You want to see the nitrous oxide button pressed in price action. Right |
589 | 00:51:43 --> 00:51:46 | when it does that, you don't want to see it go up and then go right back in. |
590 | 00:51:46 --> 00:51:51 | Because what that was is, it's a fade. That's your turtle suit. It's a fake |
591 | 00:51:51 --> 00:51:57 | out. What we're looking for is we want to see like a nitrous oxide injection of |
592 | 00:51:57 --> 00:52:02 | strength, speed, when dad does the recordings when I'm trading. And I'll |
593 | 00:52:02 --> 00:52:06 | type out and say, I want to see speed and magnitude. I want to see distance. |
594 | 00:52:06 --> 00:52:11 | That's because I'm I'm expecting these elements in price action at that moment, |
595 | 00:52:11 --> 00:52:17 | at that moment, I want to see that being visible in price. And you can see it |
596 | 00:52:17 --> 00:52:21 | happening here. And then we gap up where this candle close. It gapped up here. |
597 | 00:52:21 --> 00:52:28 | When we trade back down into that right there, that is an entry as well. And |
598 | 00:52:28 --> 00:52:32 | you'll see those things as we start going through the charts live. I'll |
599 | 00:52:32 --> 00:52:37 | point them out to you. And when we take screenshots this, this is an actual |
600 | 00:52:37 --> 00:52:44 | wonderful buy. And then we start to roll up here. Then we see the classic volume |
601 | 00:52:44 --> 00:52:48 | and balance retreat to it there, and that's another body. And then you had |
602 | 00:52:48 --> 00:52:52 | this big pop here, which we watched happen. I mean, we both were like, yeah, |
603 | 00:52:52 --> 00:53:00 | yes, well, it runs out there. And took the buy side here. So visually, I now |
604 | 00:53:04 --> 00:53:07 | you can see how in this candle, I'll put that right over top it. You can see the |
605 | 00:53:07 --> 00:53:12 | entry right there, and what I was aiming for, as I wanted to watch when it opened |
606 | 00:53:12 --> 00:53:16 | and traded down. I wanted to see it get below the body of that down closed |
607 | 00:53:16 --> 00:53:21 | candle. I don't care where in the spectrum of that wick, because that's a |
608 | 00:53:21 --> 00:53:28 | discount wick. I'm buying that order block because I understand it's an order |
609 | 00:53:28 --> 00:53:32 | block. Everybody else will simply say, Well, you got to look to buy the down |
610 | 00:53:32 --> 00:53:36 | closed candles. And that just shows that they only listen to my very first |
611 | 00:53:36 --> 00:53:39 | introduction to an order block, because they don't understand what an order |
612 | 00:53:39 --> 00:53:44 | block is. So I want to be in the discount element of that down close |
613 | 00:53:44 --> 00:53:48 | candle. And I want to be entering below its body. In this case, it's the close. |
614 | 00:53:48 --> 00:53:51 | So if you look up here in the upper left hand corner, you see the close. It says |
615 | 00:53:51 --> 00:53:58 | 18,005 60.00 Yes, sir. I want to be buying below that, at it, or below it. |
616 | 00:53:58 --> 00:54:06 | And my entry was 550, 9.75 9.75 so that's pretty good, and then it rallies. |
617 | 00:54:07 --> 00:54:11 | And when you have this break like this, your stop loss has to be below the |
618 | 00:54:11 --> 00:54:15 | consequence of the new day opening gap, which is what you got, which what you |
619 | 00:54:15 --> 00:54:18 | watched me do last night. So for the folks are saying, where would your stop |
620 | 00:54:18 --> 00:54:22 | loss be? Because we gapped up like this. And we've already done this. Watch what |
621 | 00:54:22 --> 00:54:25 | we've done. We've opened here. We created the new day opening gap. We took |
622 | 00:54:25 --> 00:54:29 | short term liquidity here, took short term liquidity here, and then we cross |
623 | 00:54:29 --> 00:54:33 | back over top of New Day opening gap, and then cross back down below it. And |
624 | 00:54:33 --> 00:54:36 | then we now we have this displacement ahead of seven o'clock. You see that, |
625 | 00:54:36 --> 00:54:42 | folks, you see how that element of just, it's it's letting everybody know that |
626 | 00:54:42 --> 00:54:46 | sees price with this understanding. You're not supposed to know this. I'm |
627 | 00:54:46 --> 00:54:51 | not supposed to be teaching it really. But these are the like the little |
628 | 00:54:51 --> 00:54:55 | Hallmark signatures that okay, it's about to happen. So now we have to |
629 | 00:54:55 --> 00:54:59 | reference these completely random levels when you do opening gap, something |
630 | 00:54:59 --> 00:55:04 | that's been. Into revamped by somebody else, that nobody has an identification |
631 | 00:55:04 --> 00:55:09 | on. Nobody's there to pick the $5 million up for me, having been exposed |
632 | 00:55:09 --> 00:55:12 | as this is where he copied it from, Wyckoff, has no idea what the we're |
633 | 00:55:12 --> 00:55:17 | talking about here. If he was, he's my student. This touch of that high of The |
634 | 00:55:17 --> 00:55:22 | New Day opening, that that's your trigger, but I want to get in there |
635 | 00:55:22 --> 00:55:26 | right as it's trading back to that wick, which we're going to talk about wicks as |
636 | 00:55:26 --> 00:55:32 | gaps today. Also, the market has immediate feedback and tells me I'm on |
637 | 00:55:32 --> 00:55:37 | side. I don't need to worry about anything now. And soon as we take out |
638 | 00:55:37 --> 00:55:43 | this high here, the stock goes to break even, or the very minimum, it has to be |
639 | 00:55:43 --> 00:55:48 | at the top of the new day opening guy, and you don't, you don't chase it. You |
640 | 00:55:48 --> 00:55:52 | see me rush my stop loss. I mean, you just relax and let it happen. So the |
641 | 00:55:52 --> 00:55:57 | market gives us two qualifying, comfortable, like consoling, like it's |
642 | 00:55:57 --> 00:56:02 | okay, don't worry about it. It's coming. Because we see the displacement here, |
643 | 00:56:02 --> 00:56:06 | and when we see the displacement, every displacement does not have to see it |
644 | 00:56:06 --> 00:56:12 | trade back down into it's better. It's better for your trades to not see them |
645 | 00:56:12 --> 00:56:17 | return into buy, sign and balance sales on efficiency at all. That's what you |
646 | 00:56:17 --> 00:56:19 | really, really want to see. Okay, |
647 | 00:56:21 --> 00:56:25 | if it has the interest to go back into it, that is indicating that the if the |
648 | 00:56:25 --> 00:56:27 | moves coming, it's being deferred, and you're gonna have to sit through a |
649 | 00:56:27 --> 00:56:31 | period of uncomfortable waiting and maybe a little bit of drawdown or |
650 | 00:56:31 --> 00:56:34 | chopping it around before it takes off. I don't like those types of trades, |
651 | 00:56:35 --> 00:56:38 | which is why I like to look at the market when it creates these types of |
652 | 00:56:39 --> 00:56:43 | characteristics where it's really indicating that a it's, it's, it's about |
653 | 00:56:43 --> 00:56:48 | the pop. It's doing exactly what I want to do. We can time it, because the |
654 | 00:56:48 --> 00:56:53 | market operates on time, not price first. It's time first. And you have to |
655 | 00:56:53 --> 00:56:58 | know what these elements of time are and why they're a factor. Otherwise, every |
656 | 00:56:58 --> 00:57:03 | Mickey Mouse bullshit indicator, or even my stuff apply at the wrong times, isn't |
657 | 00:57:03 --> 00:57:07 | going to work. So you have to have these elements of time determined ahead of |
658 | 00:57:07 --> 00:57:12 | time, and it has to be your, your your central focal point for your model. If |
659 | 00:57:12 --> 00:57:16 | you can't, if you can't arrive at that as Okay, that makes a lot of sense, then |
660 | 00:57:16 --> 00:57:19 | you're going to struggle. You're not going to have any success with this. |
661 | 00:57:19 --> 00:57:22 | You're going to think it's all contrived as much as I keep showing it and proving |
662 | 00:57:22 --> 00:57:27 | it, it'll still just be he's lucky, or it's just, it just happened to be |
663 | 00:57:27 --> 00:57:31 | randomly in his favor that day. And it's, you know, anybody can make excuses |
664 | 00:57:31 --> 00:57:35 | for not wanting to do it, but no one can make an excuse and say it's random |
665 | 00:57:35 --> 00:57:38 | because it's absolutely following the logic that I've been teaching for |
666 | 00:57:38 --> 00:57:46 | decades. So there's our entry, and then we want to aim for something above this |
667 | 00:57:46 --> 00:57:50 | buy side liquidity pool, because if we know that it's likely to trade up above |
668 | 00:57:50 --> 00:57:55 | it, you know, how can we arrive at a target that is close to it? Well, what |
669 | 00:57:55 --> 00:58:00 | was the what was the leg of price prior to this run up that's going the other |
670 | 00:58:00 --> 00:58:05 | direction. Can you see it's this high down to that low? So in other words, we |
671 | 00:58:05 --> 00:58:08 | had this movement like a kind of like a slingshot or a catapult. Price is |
672 | 00:58:08 --> 00:58:14 | winding back, and then it takes off and runs for you see that? So we can take |
673 | 00:58:14 --> 00:58:19 | this price leg here to that low, and we can get some measurements to get a |
674 | 00:58:19 --> 00:58:26 | baseline for range finding. So if I'm interested in a run that goes above this |
675 | 00:58:26 --> 00:58:31 | high here, okay, once we have indications that we have this high taken |
676 | 00:58:31 --> 00:58:36 | out, which is what we get there, that's the second qualifier that really builds |
677 | 00:58:36 --> 00:58:39 | the confidence that this trade is going to be a runner. In other words, you |
678 | 00:58:39 --> 00:58:44 | shouldn't have no anxiety at all at the trade not panning out, because we had |
679 | 00:58:44 --> 00:58:48 | this ahead of time rate going into seven o'clock. We already worked above and |
680 | 00:58:48 --> 00:58:54 | below the new day opening gap. We kept initial sell side in play there, and now |
681 | 00:58:54 --> 00:58:57 | we refer back to this one. So this is the buy side. So that's where your |
682 | 00:58:57 --> 00:59:02 | initial interest is. Do we have the momentum and interest of power through |
683 | 00:59:02 --> 00:59:05 | that, because it could have very easily done this. It could have went above it |
684 | 00:59:05 --> 00:59:08 | and then started to break down, and that would have been simply a losing trade. |
685 | 00:59:08 --> 00:59:13 | And there's nothing to be afraid of with that, but it's not likely to do that if |
686 | 00:59:13 --> 00:59:18 | you have something like this, where it starts running energetically, proving |
687 | 00:59:18 --> 00:59:22 | that that low is now not interested to take out that well, and now the buy side |
688 | 00:59:22 --> 00:59:27 | here and here and here is where we're focusing on, because the Johnny come |
689 | 00:59:27 --> 00:59:30 | lately that didn't trade yesterday and they weren't bullish, they're trying to |
690 | 00:59:30 --> 00:59:33 | get involved. They're trying to get on board, because now the market started |
691 | 00:59:33 --> 00:59:36 | trading at six o'clock, and they're trying to buy anything that gives them a |
692 | 00:59:36 --> 00:59:42 | reason to be long. So I want to capitalize on that and know that any |
693 | 00:59:42 --> 00:59:47 | rallies that it forms is going to be short lived, so I have to know |
694 | 00:59:47 --> 00:59:52 | beforehand, where are my exit points. So how far can it run up above this buy |
695 | 00:59:52 --> 00:59:56 | side liquidity? Well, we're range finding by taking the FIB from here to |
696 | 00:59:56 --> 00:59:59 | here, and all we're doing is measuring the distance between that low and that |
697 | 00:59:59 --> 01:00:05 | high. I and then duplicating it, okay, going up one measurement of that and in |
698 | 01:00:05 --> 01:00:09 | a half, which is why we have that standard deviation there of one that's |
699 | 01:00:09 --> 01:00:17 | negative 1.5 so what that is, is this range from high to low times 1.5 so it's |
700 | 01:00:17 --> 01:00:20 | you get a baseline. In other words, let me show it to you like this. If I do |
701 | 01:00:20 --> 01:00:25 | this and show you just negative one, what that will be is a perfect, measured |
702 | 01:00:25 --> 01:00:31 | move. So in other words, it's from the low to this high. Perfect duplication |
703 | 01:00:31 --> 01:00:36 | added to this high would be here. Okay, so that that would be, that would be a |
704 | 01:00:36 --> 01:00:40 | good place. You need to take a partial. If we had more than one contract on, we |
705 | 01:00:40 --> 01:00:45 | could have took a partial there and had a limit order to sell there and then aim |
706 | 01:00:45 --> 01:00:52 | up here. But because of this idea of this is where it can color beyond my |
707 | 01:00:52 --> 01:00:58 | expectation of just going above that high. This is one standard deviation. So |
708 | 01:00:58 --> 01:01:03 | what I do is I like to find the midpoint between that. So if I do something like |
709 | 01:01:03 --> 01:01:08 | this, I'm just going to eyeball it real close. Okay, if I know that, this is |
710 | 01:01:08 --> 01:01:13 | where the midpoint of both targets are. So if this is one standard deviation, |
711 | 01:01:13 --> 01:01:22 | I'm sorry, one standard deviation, and then we have negative 1.5 it's affording |
712 | 01:01:22 --> 01:01:30 | me the ability to see where targets could fall. And I don't have to be |
713 | 01:01:30 --> 01:01:34 | perfect about getting the actual eye, even though it does trade up there. And |
714 | 01:01:34 --> 01:01:39 | when you first saw the Fibonacci laid on top, it looks like, wow, but you can see |
715 | 01:01:39 --> 01:01:45 | my price exit was 607 in the hand, which is just above, it's just above half way |
716 | 01:01:46 --> 01:01:53 | so that. So we have negative, negative one, which is a full measurement of this |
717 | 01:01:53 --> 01:02:00 | high to that low. Let me show you to graphically also. So it's this range |
718 | 01:02:00 --> 01:02:06 | here. You take that and you add it to the high right there, and you see, |
719 | 01:02:06 --> 01:02:09 | that's what that is. So you can see, I'm taking that little block of price action |
720 | 01:02:09 --> 01:02:13 | from this high down there, and I'm thinking that of that as a block of |
721 | 01:02:13 --> 01:02:18 | price action that if it's going to go higher, and it has, typically always, |
722 | 01:02:18 --> 01:02:22 | it's very easy to have a very low threshold targeting methodology based |
723 | 01:02:22 --> 01:02:25 | around measured moves. And that's, this is the classic measured move |
724 | 01:02:25 --> 01:02:30 | perspective. But I don't like that, because everybody Tom Dick and Harry is |
725 | 01:02:30 --> 01:02:34 | thinking that way. And I know that while that's that's meeting the criteria of |
726 | 01:02:34 --> 01:02:39 | getting above this high for this sake of trading into those buy stops, I want to |
727 | 01:02:39 --> 01:02:45 | have the next tier in precision. So I want to know where is it really likely |
728 | 01:02:45 --> 01:02:51 | to trade to. So if I get a negative 1.5 I'm I'm getting yes this range, but I'm |
729 | 01:02:51 --> 01:02:57 | also aiming for kind of like extrapolation where it just gets really |
730 | 01:02:57 --> 01:03:01 | ahead of itself and just gets animated way beyond everybody else. I mean, like |
731 | 01:03:01 --> 01:03:03 | we said last night, we were watching, like, what? Watching, like, Whoa, that |
732 | 01:03:03 --> 01:03:06 | thing really took off for Asia. It was really fun. It usually isn't that |
733 | 01:03:06 --> 01:03:11 | eventful. But when it popped up there like that, what I had done was I looked |
734 | 01:03:11 --> 01:03:17 | at the negative one and negative 1.5 and in between that, okay, that was kind of |
735 | 01:03:17 --> 01:03:21 | like what I was aiming for, which is like 1.05 something. And I was thinking, |
736 | 01:03:21 --> 01:03:26 | Okay, well, I know it's likely, it's very likely, to trade up here, but what |
737 | 01:03:26 --> 01:03:30 | happens if I don't get my limit? You've watched me before where I'm putting |
738 | 01:03:30 --> 01:03:34 | trades on and and they give me the price that should fill me, and it don't film |
739 | 01:03:34 --> 01:03:39 | me. So because I'm trying to be too precise, so the way I trade, I want to |
740 | 01:03:39 --> 01:03:45 | be in that little gray area, which would be here, between where I think it |
741 | 01:03:45 --> 01:03:52 | ultimately may reach for and where a certain measured move, idea where that's |
742 | 01:03:52 --> 01:04:00 | real measured moves. If you're going to say, Dad, give me a role of pulling out |
743 | 01:04:00 --> 01:04:03 | targets where I know that they're absolutely low hanging fruit, and I |
744 | 01:04:03 --> 01:04:08 | don't have to worry about it, and you're willing to let bigger runs just evade |
745 | 01:04:08 --> 01:04:11 | you, because you want to be able to get into the trades, and as long as all |
746 | 01:04:11 --> 01:04:16 | things being equal are saying that trades viable, where is the no brainer |
747 | 01:04:16 --> 01:04:21 | exit, that this is always most likely going to be the best exit point that I |
748 | 01:04:21 --> 01:04:25 | can take and not worry about it, not do too many calculations and spend too much |
749 | 01:04:25 --> 01:04:29 | time. It's the measured moves. So whatever price runs you're expected to |
750 | 01:04:29 --> 01:04:33 | see, if you're looking for a bullish run, just look at a price like that was |
751 | 01:04:33 --> 01:04:36 | prior to the run you're in as a long and then do a measurement like I'm showing |
752 | 01:04:36 --> 01:04:40 | you here. And that would be here, if it meets the criteria of trading into an |
753 | 01:04:40 --> 01:04:43 | old high or relative equal highs, because there's real stocks that's going |
754 | 01:04:43 --> 01:04:46 | to be the draw the markets want to, want to book there, because there's real |
755 | 01:04:46 --> 01:04:52 | orders resting above that. Well, dad is, you know, who I am. I'm dad. I'm always |
756 | 01:04:52 --> 01:04:56 | trying to be better than everything else, so I want to know where it's going |
757 | 01:04:56 --> 01:05:01 | to reach for but also the human in me that can tend to be. Wrong sometimes or |
758 | 01:05:01 --> 01:05:04 | sometimes the market says fickle and says, fuck you. ICT you're not getting |
759 | 01:05:04 --> 01:05:09 | your limit order right. So I want to be in that gray area, which is between |
760 | 01:05:09 --> 01:05:14 | where I think it ultimately is going to go, and the low hanging fruit threshold, |
761 | 01:05:17 --> 01:05:21 | which is in this area here. So that line right there, I want to have an exit |
762 | 01:05:21 --> 01:05:25 | that's above, at or above that level. See that? |
763 | 01:05:26 --> 01:05:30 | So this is the reason why we talked about this, and I'm just doing it for |
764 | 01:05:30 --> 01:05:33 | the sake of the people that are watching and wanting to learn. But if you look at |
765 | 01:05:33 --> 01:05:38 | where I exited, see where the see a little arrow that'll arrow that appears |
766 | 01:05:38 --> 01:05:41 | when I hover without the arrow that shows when I got out, that's where my |
767 | 01:05:41 --> 01:05:47 | limit order was, and I'm okay. Truth be told, I'm really not okay. I'm really |
768 | 01:05:47 --> 01:05:51 | not okay. I really want to be able to nail the highs and and do all that. But |
769 | 01:05:51 --> 01:05:54 | I also know that sometimes they're just going to say, Screw you. Okay, you're |
770 | 01:05:54 --> 01:05:59 | not going to have it today. And I don't like when they have that win over me, so |
771 | 01:05:59 --> 01:06:04 | I'm just going to be content with this is, this is good. It's better than most |
772 | 01:06:04 --> 01:06:07 | people on the internet. It's most it's better than most people that trade. They |
773 | 01:06:07 --> 01:06:09 | don't have the they don't have a methodology that's going to be |
774 | 01:06:09 --> 01:06:14 | consistent, that drives them to I mean, if you look at all bad streets, and any |
775 | 01:06:14 --> 01:06:18 | of them people that see it, you can see, I'm buying the lows. I'm getting out at |
776 | 01:06:18 --> 01:06:23 | short term highs, and I'm distributing my positions at these key points. |
777 | 01:06:24 --> 01:06:27 | Sometimes I do phenomenal, and I get really, really close to the actual |
778 | 01:06:27 --> 01:06:32 | highs. But truth be told, You're not going to get that as a steady diet. So |
779 | 01:06:32 --> 01:06:37 | the way you manage that expectation and overcome the realities of you not being |
780 | 01:06:37 --> 01:06:40 | precise in the beginning or throughout your career, you're not going to be |
781 | 01:06:40 --> 01:06:45 | perfect. I'm pursuing perfect. It's always been a target that I know is |
782 | 01:06:45 --> 01:06:48 | going to evade me. But guess what that does? It keeps me chasing it, and keeps |
783 | 01:06:48 --> 01:06:52 | me young and keeps me virile, and like I'm hungry, I'm going to constantly seek |
784 | 01:06:52 --> 01:06:56 | that. And you're not going the wrong direction. You're always going for |
785 | 01:06:57 --> 01:07:00 | improvements, because as soon as the day you come into trading and say, I have |
786 | 01:07:00 --> 01:07:03 | everything figured out. I'm never going to try and improve myself. Improve in |
787 | 01:07:03 --> 01:07:06 | myself. You're going to start getting lazy. You're going to start doing stupid |
788 | 01:07:06 --> 01:07:09 | break rules, and then you try to entertain yourself with doing dumb stuff |
789 | 01:07:09 --> 01:07:12 | that hasn't been taught to you, thinking, let me try to something test. |
790 | 01:07:12 --> 01:07:16 | You're going to lose money. And then it becomes a toxic, you know, impairment, |
791 | 01:07:16 --> 01:07:20 | that now you've done something, and then you feel guilty about having done |
792 | 01:07:20 --> 01:07:24 | something that you weren't trained to do. And so many students, so many other |
793 | 01:07:24 --> 01:07:27 | traders that don't even use my stuff, they waste time doing that, and they |
794 | 01:07:27 --> 01:07:32 | become a waste as a trader because they've done stupid shit. So this is |
795 | 01:07:32 --> 01:07:37 | what we're doing to trade Asia. All of these elements are repeating factors |
796 | 01:07:37 --> 01:07:42 | that you as a student if you want to be trading this time of day. This is what |
797 | 01:07:42 --> 01:07:47 | it looks like. This is the protocol. This is the guidance Kim. This is |
798 | 01:07:47 --> 01:07:53 | everything that you need to do. And by doing this markup every single day, you |
799 | 01:07:53 --> 01:07:57 | will understand what you're having questions that arise in your mind right |
800 | 01:07:57 --> 01:08:00 | now. But what about this? And what about that? All of those questions are going |
801 | 01:08:00 --> 01:08:04 | to predominantly be answered because you have exposed yourself to annotating the |
802 | 01:08:04 --> 01:08:09 | chart, doing this every single day, whether it be Asia, whether it be the |
803 | 01:08:09 --> 01:08:12 | New York session, like my son, Caleb's getting himself prepared to be only |
804 | 01:08:12 --> 01:08:17 | focusing on or if it's the afternoon session, okay, or if it's London, and |
805 | 01:08:17 --> 01:08:21 | you'll see me do the same thing at London, just as a tip Your hand. I tip |
806 | 01:08:21 --> 01:08:25 | my hand to you. The delineation here that would simply be at two o'clock, and |
807 | 01:08:25 --> 01:08:29 | guess what? It's going to do what I'm describing here. So all you're doing is |
808 | 01:08:29 --> 01:08:34 | you're watching what price is doing. The only difference is where we have the new |
809 | 01:08:34 --> 01:08:40 | day opening gap here. See, I love I love sharing, instead of the new day opening |
810 | 01:08:40 --> 01:08:44 | gap. What we're gonna be looking at is the 30 minutes after 12 o'clock to 1230 |
811 | 01:08:45 --> 01:08:49 | New York local time, because that is your opening range for London. You're |
812 | 01:08:49 --> 01:08:52 | not surprised if you went through the mentorship on the videos on the YouTube |
813 | 01:08:52 --> 01:08:56 | channel, but for the people that just got here, they're like, Oh, he's |
814 | 01:08:56 --> 01:09:00 | dropping the sauce. Oh, man, this is so good. ICT gems. Gonna put that in the |
815 | 01:09:00 --> 01:09:09 | club, I'm sure. But anyway, this, this day, obviously, moves back up in |
816 | 01:09:09 --> 01:09:13 | consolidates. This is what I love. I teach this in the mentorship stuff too. |
817 | 01:09:13 --> 01:09:16 | It's, everybody's like, yeah, it's, it's, it's creating a bull flag. You see |
818 | 01:09:16 --> 01:09:20 | how it runs up quick, consolidates, and they want to see another leg of that |
819 | 01:09:20 --> 01:09:24 | repeated up. That's That's fake. And I teach how determine when those fake ones |
820 | 01:09:24 --> 01:09:30 | are in the mentorship on this YouTube channel. But it breaks down. It responds |
821 | 01:09:30 --> 01:09:36 | back to what level where, old initial buy side. Look what it was here. Now the |
822 | 01:09:36 --> 01:09:39 | pundits will say, Oh, he's doing this. He's talking about Support Resistance. |
823 | 01:09:39 --> 01:09:43 | Because see how it was resistance here. Just draw your line through here. And |
824 | 01:09:43 --> 01:09:47 | it's just draw it up here. It's bullshit, because there's so many |
825 | 01:09:47 --> 01:09:51 | instances where you can see where prices turned as a short term high, or it's a |
826 | 01:09:51 --> 01:09:55 | short term, short term low, and you can have a line drawn there, and the market |
827 | 01:09:55 --> 01:10:03 | just runs through and says, See you like it doesn't respect. Okay, so why this |
828 | 01:10:03 --> 01:10:08 | creates an important term here is because of what I outlined in here. It's |
829 | 01:10:08 --> 01:10:12 | initial reference points that the algorithm is going to refer to when you |
830 | 01:10:12 --> 01:10:16 | start looking at support, resistance students that are listening. I don't |
831 | 01:10:16 --> 01:10:19 | want my son you screwed up with that bullshit thinking because he doesn't |
832 | 01:10:19 --> 01:10:24 | understand the retail element of retail, support resistance, but for the folks |
833 | 01:10:24 --> 01:10:28 | that are listening have been trading for a while, you'll be better at selecting |
834 | 01:10:28 --> 01:10:33 | classic Support Resistance, as it's kind of like promoted in books and courses |
835 | 01:10:33 --> 01:10:36 | and other people out there, or people that will watch me and say, he's |
836 | 01:10:36 --> 01:10:39 | complicating everything. All you need is Support Resistance. I'm challenging |
837 | 01:10:39 --> 01:10:44 | someone else to every day. Go out on the live stream, okay? And tell us the only |
838 | 01:10:44 --> 01:10:48 | support or resistance levels that are going to work. So go fuck yourself. |
839 | 01:10:48 --> 01:10:51 | Okay? Because that's the, that's the litmus test for anybody who wants to |
840 | 01:10:51 --> 01:10:54 | make a video or live stream or leave comments and other people's bullshit. |
841 | 01:10:54 --> 01:10:58 | Okay, do a live stream. I'm doing this Monday through Friday now. Okay, I have |
842 | 01:10:58 --> 01:11:02 | an open schedule. I've I cleared my book. I'm going to be doing this every |
843 | 01:11:02 --> 01:11:07 | fucking day. So use you. You that have that perspective that you think is just |
844 | 01:11:07 --> 01:11:11 | support resistance, okay? And I'm just doing that. Okay? Now you have the task |
845 | 01:11:11 --> 01:11:16 | of being out on a live stream and doing the correct only ones that work support |
846 | 01:11:16 --> 01:11:20 | the resistance. Okay? And you got to call the market around them, because |
847 | 01:11:20 --> 01:11:24 | that's what I'm doing. Don't believe me. Look at yesterday. It's a fucking |
848 | 01:11:24 --> 01:11:31 | phenomenal reversal, wasn't it? This is lucky. It's all lucky. So anyway, we |
849 | 01:11:31 --> 01:11:36 | sweep back down below the new day opening gap after touching the initial |
850 | 01:11:36 --> 01:11:40 | buy side liquidity reference point, and then drops lower, goes back into that |
851 | 01:11:40 --> 01:11:45 | volume and bounce there, and then we cross back below New Day opening gap. So |
852 | 01:11:45 --> 01:11:48 | what's below the new day opening gap that formed last night, six o'clock, we |
853 | 01:11:48 --> 01:11:54 | have the new week opening gap high. You see that? So that's the that's the next |
854 | 01:11:54 --> 01:11:58 | level below us in terms of new week opening gap, or New Day opening gap. So |
855 | 01:11:58 --> 01:12:05 | now we know we can potentially draw down into that. Look at this low here. We're |
856 | 01:12:05 --> 01:12:12 | digging into the new week opening gap that was formed this Sunday that just |
857 | 01:12:12 --> 01:12:17 | passed. Okay, we trade up. We're gyrating around the old level that was |
858 | 01:12:17 --> 01:12:23 | formed at six o'clock, or post six o'clock, where we had the initial sell |
859 | 01:12:23 --> 01:12:27 | side liquidity. See how it's referring back to that. It's gyrating around that. |
860 | 01:12:27 --> 01:12:31 | Okay, so now everybody's screaming. They're like, Man, this is amazing. This |
861 | 01:12:31 --> 01:12:34 | is amazing. Man, I can't believe this for free. I can't either. I don't the |
862 | 01:12:34 --> 01:12:37 | fuck I'm thinking, but anyway, they got this consolidation. And then we rally |
863 | 01:12:37 --> 01:12:42 | back up, and we're back into the new day opening gap, and then we trade right |
864 | 01:12:42 --> 01:12:48 | back up into a reference point for that old liquidity that was outside the |
865 | 01:12:48 --> 01:12:54 | initial buy side. You see that. So we have a previous day high. We return back |
866 | 01:12:54 --> 01:12:59 | to a here, bump, bump, gyrate around the initial buy side liquidity. And yet now |
867 | 01:12:59 --> 01:13:04 | you can see right away why does ICT use a notepad? Why am I referencing |
868 | 01:13:04 --> 01:13:10 | something I have scratched on my Samsung Galaxy Note, which is so much better |
869 | 01:13:10 --> 01:13:14 | than Apple? Apple sucks. Fuck. Apple, the rotten apple. We don't eat apples. |
870 | 01:13:14 --> 01:13:18 | Okay? You gonna use a real phone. You're gonna use a Samsung. Okay, Samsung is |
871 | 01:13:18 --> 01:13:24 | the shit, and I have no affiliation with that. I read Samsung? Yeah, apples |
872 | 01:13:24 --> 01:13:27 | burned me so many times. I would never use an Apple product. I don't give a |
873 | 01:13:27 --> 01:13:31 | shit. They made me a deal. I would never do it. And I'm not asking for a Samsung |
874 | 01:13:31 --> 01:13:36 | deal, by the way. I just want my opinions to be appreciated, because it's |
875 | 01:13:36 --> 01:13:40 | real. But anyway, same thing here. We've had that run up. It looks like a bull |
876 | 01:13:40 --> 01:13:43 | flag. Retail is going to say, oh, it's going to say, oh, it's going to run |
877 | 01:13:43 --> 01:13:48 | higher. No, it's not. What's What's it doing here at 12 o'clock in the morning, |
878 | 01:13:52 --> 01:13:57 | all this run goes down to a random midpoint, consequence of the new week |
879 | 01:13:57 --> 01:14:02 | opening gap. But now what is it created? There's a range. See, I'm already |
880 | 01:14:02 --> 01:14:05 | starting talking about the london session. I can't wait to get it out. I |
881 | 01:14:05 --> 01:14:09 | don't want to be I really don't want to wake up to do it. I'm just, I'm really |
882 | 01:14:09 --> 01:14:12 | glad that I can sleep through London. Now, I used to be up all the time |
883 | 01:14:12 --> 01:14:16 | training and doing Forex, but I know I promised I was going to do this out |
884 | 01:14:16 --> 01:14:22 | there for him. But anyway, from 12 o'clock there. Okay, so 12 to 1233, |
885 | 01:14:29 --> 01:14:37 | thick. Okay, that is your opening range for London. Okay, so that's enough for |
886 | 01:14:37 --> 01:14:40 | you folks that are chomping at the bit for that information. That range, the |
887 | 01:14:40 --> 01:14:43 | highest, high and low, slow, between those two price points. Okay, think of |
888 | 01:14:43 --> 01:14:47 | it like the opening range at 930 to 10 o'clock in the morning, which is what |
889 | 01:14:47 --> 01:14:52 | we're involved in now for the opening bell, you extend that forward in time to |
890 | 01:14:52 --> 01:14:55 | the right, and you'll see that the market will refer back to it, in |
891 | 01:14:55 --> 01:14:59 | addition to how it goes back into the new day opening gap that formed last |
892 | 01:14:59 --> 01:15:05 | night since the four. Up, see how, look at, look at the beauty of this bang |
893 | 01:15:06 --> 01:15:10 | drops back down, and it gyrates and works inside that range, and then |
894 | 01:15:10 --> 01:15:17 | finally pops through, consolidating around the old initials by side, yep. |
895 | 01:15:17 --> 01:15:22 | And then hits the old by side, hits it, hammers it. And then we have this big |
896 | 01:15:22 --> 01:15:27 | pump up here. And now we're in six o'clock in the morning. It drops back |
897 | 01:15:27 --> 01:15:35 | down into new day, opening gap bumps the old high of previous day hits it one |
898 | 01:15:35 --> 01:15:39 | more time. So many trades are going to be formed around previous days highs, |
899 | 01:15:39 --> 01:15:45 | the first thing dad taught on baby pips back in 2010 I said the majority of your |
900 | 01:15:45 --> 01:15:48 | big, nice setups are going to form around old highs on old lows. That |
901 | 01:15:48 --> 01:15:53 | meaning that previous days high and previous days low. So you can see the |
902 | 01:15:53 --> 01:16:00 | elements of that unfolding here. What is this level out here? See, I'm testing it |
903 | 01:16:00 --> 01:16:05 | as the initial sell side liquidity? Yes, very good. So it trades up, hits that |
904 | 01:16:05 --> 01:16:09 | and drops. Now, think about it. Okay, I'm telling you how to find the real |
905 | 01:16:09 --> 01:16:16 | support resistance. Is it not, is it not respecting these levels? It's perfect. |
906 | 01:16:16 --> 01:16:19 | Yeah, it's perfect, right? So it's going right to them hammering. What time of |
907 | 01:16:19 --> 01:16:25 | day is that for me, 758, two minutes before eighth. So we have the eight |
908 | 01:16:25 --> 01:16:29 | o'clock hour. We're watching to see what this price going to do. Well, we have |
909 | 01:16:30 --> 01:16:35 | low, relative equal lows, and it's here. So what would you expect to see it |
910 | 01:16:35 --> 01:16:39 | dropped? What happens if you miss this move? Some, what happens if you see it |
911 | 01:16:39 --> 01:16:46 | start to drop? I'm and you missed this reaction here. What are you going to do? |
912 | 01:16:46 --> 01:16:49 | You're going to wait. What are you waiting for? Waiting for a fair value |
913 | 01:16:49 --> 01:16:54 | gap or volume imbalance. There's a volume imbalance, and then we have the |
914 | 01:16:54 --> 01:16:58 | open. It trades up, goes right into that. There's your short and what's |
915 | 01:16:58 --> 01:17:02 | going to aim for the relative equal lows that we were just looking at before I |
916 | 01:17:02 --> 01:17:08 | did this over here. So you have an entry here that targets these relative equal |
917 | 01:17:08 --> 01:17:12 | lows and these relative equal lows looking further to the left. We have |
918 | 01:17:12 --> 01:17:17 | this down here. Isn't that a relative equal though? Yes, sir. And where's the |
919 | 01:17:17 --> 01:17:23 | market go? Well past it, where is it trade down to on the new week, a new |
920 | 01:17:23 --> 01:17:31 | week, opening gap, right? And then what does it do after that reaction? See, |
921 | 01:17:31 --> 01:17:36 | folks, listen, okay, this is why I laugh at all of these ass hats. Okay, that sit |
922 | 01:17:36 --> 01:17:39 | back and say, I reinvented something. I didn't reinvent shit. I didn't rename |
923 | 01:17:39 --> 01:17:45 | anything. I'm teaching you stuff that they can't find the source of, to be |
924 | 01:17:45 --> 01:17:48 | able to say, here's the $5 million payout to me, ICT, because I'm exposing |
925 | 01:17:48 --> 01:17:51 | you as somebody that's renamed shit. This is the biggest long running |
926 | 01:17:52 --> 01:17:56 | conspiracy theory there has been since I've come out and started teaching no |
927 | 01:17:56 --> 01:17:59 | none of this information is anywhere else, except for initially out of my |
928 | 01:17:59 --> 01:18:05 | mouth. This stuff is new. This is the new breed of technology in terms of |
929 | 01:18:05 --> 01:18:09 | reading price action, and it's been in hot little hands for the last three |
930 | 01:18:09 --> 01:18:14 | decades. And I often wonder, why on earth would I absolutely be sharing |
931 | 01:18:16 --> 01:18:24 | this? It is what it is, but the reaction you get here, and it runs up where, if |
932 | 01:18:24 --> 01:18:27 | it's going to have this much of a reaction off that low of the new weak |
933 | 01:18:27 --> 01:18:31 | opening gap, what is reasonable for it to see it reach for if you're inside the |
934 | 01:18:31 --> 01:18:34 | new week opening gap, and it's shown the willingness to want to react this way, |
935 | 01:18:34 --> 01:18:39 | it's the midpoint. And then if we're going to see this level breached and |
936 | 01:18:39 --> 01:18:44 | pierced on the upside. It does it here. It's dropping that down. Why would it |
937 | 01:18:44 --> 01:18:48 | want to drop back down? It's going to a discount, like a sling, like I was |
938 | 01:18:48 --> 01:18:51 | saying, slingshot, but it's reaching down into an inefficiency, because |
939 | 01:18:51 --> 01:18:54 | there's no short term lows in here, except for that tiny one right there. |
940 | 01:18:54 --> 01:18:58 | It's, to me, doesn't have all that much in importance, but my eye jumps right to |
941 | 01:18:58 --> 01:19:01 | that. You see that? Yes, sir. So if you're seeing, |
942 | 01:19:08 --> 01:19:12 | look at the perfection there. I mean, look at that couldn't have been more |
943 | 01:19:12 --> 01:19:17 | precise. Hits it and then him and runs Same thing over here, fair value gap |
944 | 01:19:18 --> 01:19:23 | drops into it there, after taking a short term low out rally. It goes back |
945 | 01:19:23 --> 01:19:27 | to this level. Now, from here, I want to see a trade above this high. Here it |
946 | 01:19:27 --> 01:19:31 | does. And then we can react off of the consequent approach at midpoint, and |
947 | 01:19:31 --> 01:19:35 | then it runs back up to what is this level? Again, that is the initial sell |
948 | 01:19:35 --> 01:19:39 | side liquidity, right? And for the folks that missed what that was and joined the |
949 | 01:19:39 --> 01:19:51 | string late, it was derived from there. So we're not Sam Siddons Online Academy. |
950 | 01:19:51 --> 01:19:54 | We're not teaching supply and demand. We're not doing classic support and |
951 | 01:19:54 --> 01:19:57 | resistance, renaming it and calling something complicated. We're taking you |
952 | 01:19:57 --> 01:20:02 | with a bit like a view, a perspective that. Is technical science. I'm teaching |
953 | 01:20:02 --> 01:20:07 | you how to refer back to the same levels at the specific times that the algorithm |
954 | 01:20:07 --> 01:20:12 | will do. There's lots of them that I can't teach, but these are the ones that |
955 | 01:20:12 --> 01:20:17 | I can teach you where it kind of, it's, well, you know, it's perfect, really, |
956 | 01:20:17 --> 01:20:21 | that people say you're just teaching supply and demand or or support |
957 | 01:20:21 --> 01:20:26 | resistance, because I'm hiding in plain sight. If the lazy people come and see |
958 | 01:20:26 --> 01:20:32 | that's what it is, okay, replicate it. If that's all it is, go do it too. They |
959 | 01:20:32 --> 01:20:36 | won't. They can't do it. That's why they teach and show examples in Market |
960 | 01:20:36 --> 01:20:45 | Replay. But we are in the opening range. Now this is the part where we talk a |
961 | 01:20:45 --> 01:20:48 | little bit about something that you need to be worried about if you're going to |
962 | 01:20:48 --> 01:20:50 | be trading in that nine to five hour. Okay, so if you get your trade done |
963 | 01:20:51 --> 01:20:55 | beforehand, then don't worry about it. You're taking one good setup. Once you |
964 | 01:20:55 --> 01:20:58 | get it, you stop. You're not in here trying to impress that. You're going to |
965 | 01:20:58 --> 01:21:02 | impress me by doing your one trade setup. And it pans out based on what |
966 | 01:21:02 --> 01:21:05 | you're trying to do and you're done, I'm going to be more impressed with your |
967 | 01:21:05 --> 01:21:09 | ability to not trade more than you should. Then taking a lot of trades, |
968 | 01:21:09 --> 01:21:14 | right? I want you to have the ability to sit still, because that is what messes |
969 | 01:21:14 --> 01:21:18 | everybody up. Everybody does the wrong thing by trying to be more active than |
970 | 01:21:18 --> 01:21:24 | they should. All right. So let's get this off here. And now, if you look in |
971 | 01:21:24 --> 01:21:28 | the lower right hand corner here, it says electronic trading hours here. That |
972 | 01:21:28 --> 01:21:35 | is 24 hours in the day. As long as it's trading, you're going to see every panel |
973 | 01:21:35 --> 01:21:39 | stick. When I click on this, it's going to give you a regular trading hour |
974 | 01:21:40 --> 01:21:44 | option, and it's showing that we're showing electronic trading |
975 | 01:21:44 --> 01:21:47 | predominantly, I'm going to have electronic trading hours shown, okay, |
976 | 01:21:47 --> 01:21:52 | but if you're going to be trading in a nine o'clock hour, if your trade hasn't |
977 | 01:21:52 --> 01:21:55 | formed yet, or if you miss something, and you want to be engaging, post nine |
978 | 01:21:55 --> 01:21:59 | o'clock at the opening bell, you're going to set your chart to regular |
979 | 01:21:59 --> 01:22:04 | trading hours And watch what it does. Looks different, doesn't it very much. |
980 | 01:22:04 --> 01:22:08 | So what, what's actually occurring is you're seeing the difference between |
981 | 01:22:09 --> 01:22:15 | yesterday's closing price, the regular session hours, and it's using 415 that |
982 | 01:22:15 --> 01:22:19 | that's there's it's very confusing, because electronic trading continues |
983 | 01:22:19 --> 01:22:23 | still, even though, when you watch the TV at four o'clock, you know they they |
984 | 01:22:23 --> 01:22:26 | ring the bell, Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, clap your hands like they fucking |
985 | 01:22:26 --> 01:22:30 | did something special. They didn't do anything. Then for 15 minutes, it |
986 | 01:22:30 --> 01:22:35 | settles, and at 5415 there's technically the day session is done, but |
987 | 01:22:35 --> 01:22:39 | electronically, it's trading until five o'clock, then it stops and it opens at |
988 | 01:22:39 --> 01:22:43 | six o'clock. So you can see how this quickly becomes very confusing for |
989 | 01:22:43 --> 01:22:48 | someone that's never looked at it and studied it. But for the sake of viewing |
990 | 01:22:48 --> 01:22:53 | what it is, it's important about this perspective of regular trading hours, we |
991 | 01:22:53 --> 01:22:57 | have already arrived at what it has done here as it run up and hit it and then |
992 | 01:22:57 --> 01:23:02 | move lower, because this is your initial sell side that was set at the opening at |
993 | 01:23:02 --> 01:23:06 | six o'clock or shortly after. So when the market runs up in here, hits this |
994 | 01:23:06 --> 01:23:13 | level, it's actually hitting also the opening range. Opening range is nine |
995 | 01:23:13 --> 01:23:23 | o'clock to 930 down there. Okay, so 930 is opening bell. All of this is the |
996 | 01:23:23 --> 01:23:27 | opening range. There is no 15 minute opening range. Okay, opening range. |
997 | 01:23:28 --> 01:23:34 | Algorithmically, it's 30 minutes. It's 930, to 10 o'clock. In that range, it's |
998 | 01:23:34 --> 01:23:38 | doing the same thing that I said when we were looking at the six o'clock New Deal |
999 | 01:23:38 --> 01:23:43 | thing gap. It's establishing initial buy side and sell side. That's what it's |
1000 | 01:23:43 --> 01:23:47 | doing in that in that 30 minutes, sometimes the market will just break and |
1001 | 01:23:47 --> 01:23:51 | never, never have any kind of opening range impact. It just just opens where |
1002 | 01:23:51 --> 01:23:55 | it opens and it starts running. In this case here, we can see that it's opening |
1003 | 01:23:57 --> 01:24:01 | and trading back up into not a full return back to the previous close. Yeah, |
1004 | 01:24:01 --> 01:24:04 | it didn't go up there. It just went right to where I gave you the initial |
1005 | 01:24:04 --> 01:24:08 | self cyber pudding, how to frame it goes right to that does the majority of the |
1006 | 01:24:08 --> 01:24:13 | closure of the opening range where we opened from where we closed. That |
1007 | 01:24:13 --> 01:24:20 | difference is a gap. So in other words, and when they're watching Christ until |
1008 | 01:24:20 --> 01:24:24 | it opens up. This is what you're looking at. Where we where we stop trading. |
1009 | 01:24:24 --> 01:24:30 | Okay, we stop trading the previous day at 415 and then regular trading hours. |
1010 | 01:24:30 --> 01:24:35 | This is what we're highlighting here. Regular trading hours, the next opening |
1011 | 01:24:36 --> 01:24:41 | tick, the very first print, or very first trade. At 930 it opens up down |
1012 | 01:24:41 --> 01:24:45 | there, if it's the green candle, what is it showing? The opening is the Whoa, |
1013 | 01:24:45 --> 01:24:50 | okay, so as soon as you have that, you're going to highlight that entire |
1014 | 01:24:50 --> 01:24:54 | range and then watch price. You're not pushing buttons. You're watching price |
1015 | 01:24:54 --> 01:24:59 | to see how it behaves normally, not always, normally when you have such a |
1016 | 01:24:59 --> 01:25:04 | large gap. Like that. What will happen is, is the market will create a |
1017 | 01:25:04 --> 01:25:08 | sometimes it'll open trade a little bit lower, and then start working higher, |
1018 | 01:25:09 --> 01:25:14 | drop back down, either take the low it's formed, or just like it did here, very |
1019 | 01:25:14 --> 01:25:18 | subtly, and then rally. Why did it run initially straight from the opening? |
1020 | 01:25:18 --> 01:25:22 | Because we had already taken out this low, see that, and then we worked into |
1021 | 01:25:22 --> 01:25:26 | that range, all the way up to the initial sell side liquidity, not the |
1022 | 01:25:26 --> 01:25:31 | entire gap closure. That's a huge paradigm shift for people that have |
1023 | 01:25:31 --> 01:25:34 | asked all the time, how do you know when it's not gonna be a full closure on the |
1024 | 01:25:34 --> 01:25:39 | gap? Well, you're gonna implement what I just did here, and all those factors are |
1025 | 01:25:39 --> 01:25:43 | gonna be weighing on whether or not the gap completely closes or not. I like |
1026 | 01:25:43 --> 01:25:49 | this generally, even if the market's going to be bearish and continue going |
1027 | 01:25:49 --> 01:25:55 | lower after a big gap, lower, like this, generally, you have about a 70% chance. |
1028 | 01:25:56 --> 01:25:59 | And I say this now everybody, don't think that means 100% but it's not 70% |
1029 | 01:26:00 --> 01:26:05 | chance that it's going to go back to mid gap. So there's always a trade available |
1030 | 01:26:05 --> 01:26:09 | when you have a big gap down like that, that that right there trading back into |
1031 | 01:26:09 --> 01:26:12 | the midpoint. That is good. And look what it did. It trades. And for people |
1032 | 01:26:12 --> 01:26:15 | that heard that for the first time, they're thinking, well, he's saying that |
1033 | 01:26:15 --> 01:26:20 | because it happened. But I have traders that have been with me for shit 12 years |
1034 | 01:26:20 --> 01:26:26 | now, and they've heard me teach this before in mentorship. I've taught this |
1035 | 01:26:26 --> 01:26:35 | in 2022 mentorship, or if it's just a regular video I did, but I talked about, |
1036 | 01:26:35 --> 01:26:39 | no, it was live streaming. What I was doing, I was doing live streams. And I |
1037 | 01:26:39 --> 01:26:44 | talked about how it's easy for the rock to get mid gap. So mid gap is really, |
1038 | 01:26:44 --> 01:26:49 | really, really strong probability. If you get lower, just find the midpoint, |
1039 | 01:26:49 --> 01:26:52 | which is what that is, okay. And you can see it does that. And then what does it |
1040 | 01:26:52 --> 01:26:56 | do? It goes right back down and just bumps the low. And then you get that run |
1041 | 01:26:56 --> 01:27:00 | all the way up to initial sell side liquidity, which could have very easily |
1042 | 01:27:01 --> 01:27:09 | retouched the closed yesterday at 415 or half of that wick. Okay, so I want to |
1043 | 01:27:09 --> 01:27:22 | talk a little bit about the chart on the electronic trading. So doesn't the chart |
1044 | 01:27:22 --> 01:27:26 | look totally different? Now, very confusing, isn't it? Very so you have to |
1045 | 01:27:26 --> 01:27:31 | have reference points, and what, what that does on my phone, usually I'll |
1046 | 01:27:31 --> 01:27:36 | scribble, you know, the key levels, like, I'll have the levels in numeric |
1047 | 01:27:36 --> 01:27:42 | format here, and I'll write down newly opening h, and then, you know, the data |
1048 | 01:27:42 --> 01:27:46 | was on, and that's what scribbled on my on my pad. Everybody wants to see my |
1049 | 01:27:46 --> 01:27:50 | notepad that's next to my charts. As I'm doing it, like, it's going to give them |
1050 | 01:27:50 --> 01:27:54 | something special. And it all it is, is, I don't want it on my chart. I just want |
1051 | 01:27:54 --> 01:27:57 | to have the reference points. And as I'm watching price, like, right now, it's |
1052 | 01:27:57 --> 01:28:03 | trading at 18,004 82, and a half. Okay, I'm looking at my notes, and my notes |
1053 | 01:28:03 --> 01:28:08 | say I have new week opening. Gap high at 18, 513, and a quarter, so I'm in close |
1054 | 01:28:08 --> 01:28:12 | proximity to that. So it could come back and gyrate back up into there. It can do |
1055 | 01:28:12 --> 01:28:16 | so even further, because we have what in play. What's this? The initial sense of |
1056 | 01:28:16 --> 01:28:27 | liquidity. No, visually, what is this? What are they relative equal? Highs? |
1057 | 01:28:28 --> 01:28:32 | Yes, yes, this this high and this high are relatively equal. And then you have |
1058 | 01:28:32 --> 01:28:36 | this one over here, even though we bumped it a little bit, that's that |
1059 | 01:28:36 --> 01:28:41 | right, there is still too clean for me. It's too clean. So I want to sit back |
1060 | 01:28:41 --> 01:28:44 | and watch and see. Do they have any interest in trying to press back above |
1061 | 01:28:44 --> 01:28:48 | that? I think that if they're really going to dump it today, going into the |
1062 | 01:28:48 --> 01:28:51 | weekend, because there's a whole lot of things going on over the Middle East |
1063 | 01:28:51 --> 01:28:56 | that everybody's afraid it's going to pop off, and those types of events that |
1064 | 01:28:56 --> 01:29:05 | are looming that is always going to be used as a as a stimuli to upset engineer |
1065 | 01:29:05 --> 01:29:06 | or |
1066 | 01:29:08 --> 01:29:14 | impact sentiment, or how people see trading if it's risk on, which, in my |
1067 | 01:29:14 --> 01:29:20 | opinion, right now, it's risk off. Risk off means that there's a there is no one |
1068 | 01:29:20 --> 01:29:25 | willing to really try to go in and think that we're a long term buying |
1069 | 01:29:25 --> 01:29:29 | opportunity, because there's so much uncertainty that's kind of like what I'm |
1070 | 01:29:29 --> 01:29:33 | getting at. There's too many things that can go wrong, and that scary type of |
1071 | 01:29:33 --> 01:29:38 | looming event on the horizon could cause stocks to tumble because the Street |
1072 | 01:29:38 --> 01:29:42 | Money thinks that that's what causes the market to drop, and that's not what it |
1073 | 01:29:42 --> 01:29:46 | is, but the algorithm and the people that have control over it, they will |
1074 | 01:29:46 --> 01:29:51 | manipulate price, so that way, the sentiment is shifted based on the |
1075 | 01:29:51 --> 01:29:58 | assumptions that W, A, R events would possibly be a catalyst for why the |
1076 | 01:29:58 --> 01:30:06 | market crashes or. Is unfavorable price price action. Okay, so there's a lot of |
1077 | 01:30:06 --> 01:30:11 | things that you have to weigh out over time, you know, in your development, but |
1078 | 01:30:11 --> 01:30:15 | initially knowing what to look for, and then studying these fluctuations around |
1079 | 01:30:15 --> 01:30:20 | it, and studying how the market behaves around these elements of referencing |
1080 | 01:30:20 --> 01:30:27 | time and price. What are we talking about when we say time? Obviously, you |
1081 | 01:30:27 --> 01:30:30 | know, there's specific times that I'm teaching you to look at, but what's the |
1082 | 01:30:30 --> 01:30:36 | price aspect at that time? Are we referencing an inefficiency, or are we |
1083 | 01:30:36 --> 01:30:41 | referencing liquidity? You see how that's very simple, isn't it? Sounds |
1084 | 01:30:41 --> 01:30:45 | ambiguous, or it sounds lofty and complicated, when I just say you gotta |
1085 | 01:30:45 --> 01:30:49 | the market works on time and price. And they think, Okay, well, what time? Well, |
1086 | 01:30:49 --> 01:30:53 | it's the elements that I've taught in mentorship, videos and lectures and the |
1087 | 01:30:53 --> 01:30:59 | things I'm teaching this week. But when it comes to price, what's the price? The |
1088 | 01:30:59 --> 01:31:04 | price is either an inefficiency or it's liquidity, it's something above an old |
1089 | 01:31:04 --> 01:31:09 | high or below an old low, or relative equal highs or relative equal lows. So |
1090 | 01:31:09 --> 01:31:13 | they're not hiding from you. They're not hidden in the chart. They're not going |
1091 | 01:31:13 --> 01:31:17 | to morph into something different, like when I just toggled from electronic |
1092 | 01:31:17 --> 01:31:20 | trading to regular trading hours, it looked like a different chart, and then |
1093 | 01:31:20 --> 01:31:23 | back from regular trading hours to electronic trading hours, the chart |
1094 | 01:31:23 --> 01:31:26 | looks completely different. It looks like we're looking at a totally |
1095 | 01:31:26 --> 01:31:31 | different market. Yes or no, yes. So having the right reference points is |
1096 | 01:31:31 --> 01:31:37 | like much, much like having a navigation system in your car. You know, if I write |
1097 | 01:31:37 --> 01:31:41 | down directions and say, you turn right here, turn right there. Go about this. |
1098 | 01:31:41 --> 01:31:46 | You still might get a little lost, but if you have the navigation system on |
1099 | 01:31:46 --> 01:31:52 | where it tells you, oh yeah, there's a rest spot or a gas station in two miles, |
1100 | 01:31:53 --> 01:31:57 | okay, well, that's the same thing we're doing here. These levels are annotated |
1101 | 01:31:57 --> 01:32:01 | on the chart for you to say, Okay, there's a reason or a destination that |
1102 | 01:32:01 --> 01:32:07 | could be had or met. If it goes up, it can go to those levels. But what you're |
1103 | 01:32:07 --> 01:32:11 | going to be doing is you're going to be looking to see when there is time for |
1104 | 01:32:11 --> 01:32:16 | these markets to start gyrating a specific in the direction, and then the |
1105 | 01:32:16 --> 01:32:19 | price is providing you an opportunity that you have identified. That's |
1106 | 01:32:19 --> 01:32:26 | something that you see repeating all the time. I'm forcing this part on you. I |
1107 | 01:32:26 --> 01:32:30 | want you trading the fair value gaps that that is going to kill two birds at |
1108 | 01:32:30 --> 01:32:33 | one stone. Number one, it's easy for you to see visually. They don't hide. |
1109 | 01:32:33 --> 01:32:38 | They're very obvious in the chart, and most of the viewers that are watching |
1110 | 01:32:38 --> 01:32:41 | your development, they understand, even if they can't pick the right fair value |
1111 | 01:32:41 --> 01:32:44 | gap, because that's what they're concerned about. They'll learn by |
1112 | 01:32:44 --> 01:32:48 | default which ones that you're gravitating to that has my support in |
1113 | 01:32:48 --> 01:32:52 | saying that, yes, that's the right way of doing it, and they, by default, will |
1114 | 01:32:52 --> 01:32:56 | have a baseline understanding. And even if they don't have the fair value gap as |
1115 | 01:32:56 --> 01:33:02 | their model or entry, they'll at least get a better foundation on how the |
1116 | 01:33:02 --> 01:33:05 | markets are booking, what time they should start moving what it should look |
1117 | 01:33:05 --> 01:33:09 | like. And even if they're studying the fair value gap, most of them, if they're |
1118 | 01:33:10 --> 01:33:14 | going to be honest, they're going to find that they'll see another PD array |
1119 | 01:33:14 --> 01:33:21 | that I've taught, and their eye, just by default, will go to that. And they may |
1120 | 01:33:21 --> 01:33:25 | use your fair value gap initially as the catalyst, the trust that's going to move |
1121 | 01:33:25 --> 01:33:28 | and but then they may do something entirely different, trade of an order |
1122 | 01:33:28 --> 01:33:30 | block, or trade a break, or something like that, and then that will be the |
1123 | 01:33:30 --> 01:33:33 | catalyst for them to actually get in a trade. They won't be getting in when you |
1124 | 01:33:33 --> 01:33:37 | would be getting in, because they're going to wait to see if you fail. And |
1125 | 01:33:37 --> 01:33:40 | they want to be able to say, I'm glad I didn't do that, because he failed. |
1126 | 01:33:40 --> 01:33:43 | That's his own son. He failed and but they'll take a trade, if it moves a |
1127 | 01:33:43 --> 01:33:47 | little bit beyond that, and then they see the thing that they like to trade, |
1128 | 01:33:47 --> 01:33:52 | and then they'll trade it, but they're going to have more anxiety versus when |
1129 | 01:33:52 --> 01:33:56 | you get a trade on you're going to be in open profit. They're going to be in a |
1130 | 01:33:56 --> 01:34:01 | new entry, managing potential short term drawdown that they have no idea how far |
1131 | 01:34:01 --> 01:34:04 | it's going to move against them, but they're going to refer to where your |
1132 | 01:34:04 --> 01:34:07 | stop loss would be and how you would manage that trade. And they're going to |
1133 | 01:34:07 --> 01:34:10 | have a larger stop loss, and that's going to cause anxiety and scary |
1134 | 01:34:10 --> 01:34:14 | feelings, and it's going to be a terrible, toxic learning experience, |
1135 | 01:34:14 --> 01:34:17 | because they're not going to follow the rules, which is what I'm pressing on you |
1136 | 01:34:17 --> 01:34:21 | not to do. Don't break the rules, and don't try to reinvent things if you |
1137 | 01:34:21 --> 01:34:24 | didn't do it when you were supposed to do it, or how you're supposed to do it, |
1138 | 01:34:24 --> 01:34:29 | do nothing and just watch it and observe. Okay, so yesterday I talked |
1139 | 01:34:29 --> 01:34:33 | about how when the market has or was it yesterday? No, it wasn't yesterday. It's |
1140 | 01:34:33 --> 01:34:38 | day before, where there was no news in the morning. Yesterday, we had |
1141 | 01:34:38 --> 01:34:44 | employment data, and then we had a bond auction at one o'clock again, but prior, |
1142 | 01:34:44 --> 01:34:49 | prior to that, I think it was Wednesday, I said there was no no medium or low |
1143 | 01:34:49 --> 01:34:54 | impact news driver for the morning session. And I said, when you have that, |
1144 | 01:34:56 --> 01:35:02 | the market can gyrate. Move around from 830 and let's go back to 830 There's 837 |
1145 | 01:35:04 --> 01:35:09 | right here. I'm not sorry, 836 the market trades down to new week, opening |
1146 | 01:35:09 --> 01:35:18 | gap low, okay, and then we rally up, come back down. If everybody got rallies |
1147 | 01:35:18 --> 01:35:21 | back to midpoint, consequent encroachment. And then you want to watch |
1148 | 01:35:21 --> 01:35:24 | and see, does it have the ability to trade above? It does, comes back down, |
1149 | 01:35:25 --> 01:35:28 | touches to consequent encroachment, and then trades back up to minimum unique |
1150 | 01:35:28 --> 01:35:32 | opening gap high, but trades to the initial sell side liquidity reference |
1151 | 01:35:32 --> 01:35:37 | point that the new day opening gap protocol teaches us to look for. So the |
1152 | 01:35:37 --> 01:35:41 | trades to it here, and then we fall out a bit. All of this price action right |
1153 | 01:35:41 --> 01:35:45 | now, as we're seeing, is exactly what I outlined, when we have no medium or high |
1154 | 01:35:45 --> 01:35:50 | impact news drivers in the morning session. The market can be aimless, it |
1155 | 01:35:50 --> 01:35:58 | can be choppy. It can be not as clear. Now there can be big, huge runs on these |
1156 | 01:35:58 --> 01:36:04 | types of days because of external stimuli, something happening, okay? |
1157 | 01:36:06 --> 01:36:11 | Allow the things in the Middle East, okay, or domestically, here in the |
1158 | 01:36:11 --> 01:36:16 | States, because of who's running for election and whatnot, all of these |
1159 | 01:36:16 --> 01:36:20 | factors are weighing heavily for me as a as an analyst looking at the market |
1160 | 01:36:20 --> 01:36:23 | saying, Okay, I don't want to be holding anything overnight. I don't want to be |
1161 | 01:36:23 --> 01:36:27 | trading very large. I don't want to be taking more trades than I should. And |
1162 | 01:36:27 --> 01:36:32 | that's a beautiful perspective to hold learning how to do it, because if you |
1163 | 01:36:32 --> 01:36:36 | start that way, then you have a better chance of not having all the the bad |
1164 | 01:36:36 --> 01:36:40 | stuff getting introduced to your perspective and or your actions as a |
1165 | 01:36:40 --> 01:36:44 | developing trader, because it's easy to pick up bad habits. Really, really easy |
1166 | 01:36:44 --> 01:36:56 | to do that. And looking at what the market has done thus far, we have really |
1167 | 01:36:56 --> 01:37:02 | nice reaction off of the new evident gap we've explored price up here prior to |
1168 | 01:37:02 --> 01:37:10 | the session starting. It's Friday. Okay, so what can we do? We can look at the |
1169 | 01:37:10 --> 01:37:18 | weekly range, because we have moved one sided. We've moved so far one sided that |
1170 | 01:37:18 --> 01:37:23 | it's reasonable to see Friday have a retracement back into the range that was |
1171 | 01:37:23 --> 01:37:28 | formed from Sunday to opening all throughout the week of trading. How much |
1172 | 01:37:28 --> 01:37:33 | of a retracement can we pull back in? We can trade back into that range 20 to 30% |
1173 | 01:37:33 --> 01:37:38 | it doesn't mean that that's trying to predict the closing price on Friday. I'm |
1174 | 01:37:38 --> 01:37:41 | not trying to do that. I have stuff that does that, but I'm not trying to do that |
1175 | 01:37:41 --> 01:37:46 | for the sake of the TGIF scenario. Thank God it's Friday. Is simply a way for me |
1176 | 01:37:46 --> 01:37:51 | to, kind of like press on the students to think, okay, thank God it's Friday. |
1177 | 01:37:52 --> 01:37:57 | It's a big week, directionally, one sided, and we've had that this week. |
1178 | 01:37:57 --> 01:38:02 | We've had the markets go straight on up, and we had a lot of movement through the |
1179 | 01:38:02 --> 01:38:08 | outside, which means that the market is more inclined to trade back in that |
1180 | 01:38:08 --> 01:38:16 | range to a degree of as much as 30% there are rules that can see as much as |
1181 | 01:38:16 --> 01:38:23 | a 40% retracement, but I've not found a way to teach it in a manner that |
1182 | 01:38:23 --> 01:38:26 | wouldn't be complicated. So as I've mentioned it to private mentorship |
1183 | 01:38:26 --> 01:38:31 | students, there are things that I have that I can't I can't teach everything. |
1184 | 01:38:31 --> 01:38:36 | Obviously. I mean, it's enough to know that 20 to 30% is an easy ballpark |
1185 | 01:38:36 --> 01:38:43 | figure, and you can trust sometimes taking shorts on a Friday that could |
1186 | 01:38:43 --> 01:38:48 | trade as low as 30% of whatever the highest high and the lowest low for the |
1187 | 01:38:48 --> 01:38:51 | week is 30% |
1188 | 01:38:52 --> 01:38:56 | minus the high of the week. That's where you can anticipate the market |
1189 | 01:38:56 --> 01:39:00 | potentially trading to. And sometimes it's a straight shot, like it'll jump |
1190 | 01:39:00 --> 01:39:03 | right there and go real, real nice. And then once it gets there, then it peters |
1191 | 01:39:03 --> 01:39:06 | out and go sideways, and then maybe bounce up a little bit. But then it's |
1192 | 01:39:06 --> 01:39:11 | nothing else for the rest of the Friday, the market just dies out. Other times it |
1193 | 01:39:11 --> 01:39:15 | just meanders around a little while, breaks down, meanders are a little |
1194 | 01:39:15 --> 01:39:20 | while, and then breaks down. And I think that's possibly what we'll see today, |
1195 | 01:39:20 --> 01:39:24 | because there's nothing to speak of on the economic calendar, except for it's |
1196 | 01:39:24 --> 01:39:29 | the end of the week, and nobody wants to hold risk over the weekend. And they can |
1197 | 01:39:29 --> 01:39:33 | do a nice reset by having a, you know, the market come off of the highs 30% and |
1198 | 01:39:33 --> 01:39:36 | it wouldn't unravel anything, even if it's long term bullish. Still it's an |
1199 | 01:39:36 --> 01:39:43 | election year, these things can be still supportive, even though nobody that |
1200 | 01:39:44 --> 01:39:48 | wants to be long or is long wants to see 30% of the weekly rain scale up like |
1201 | 01:39:48 --> 01:39:52 | they don't like to see that profit reduced or open profit without having |
1202 | 01:39:52 --> 01:40:03 | taken income. All right, so let's. Take a quick look at Yes, real quick as a |
1203 | 01:40:03 --> 01:40:05 | comparison, we haven't done that all week. |
1204 | 01:40:13 --> 01:40:20 | All right, so give me a second here. All right, so the s, p, looks even worse |
1205 | 01:40:21 --> 01:40:29 | than manage that looks really bad. I wouldn't trust anything in here. It |
1206 | 01:40:29 --> 01:40:36 | still looks a little too clean on the up here. I would disrupt that before we did |
1207 | 01:40:36 --> 01:40:40 | anything lower. That's my personal view on it. If it dropped, it would be |
1208 | 01:40:40 --> 01:40:43 | comfortable for me to say it's okay. I don't need to be a part of that move. I |
1209 | 01:40:43 --> 01:40:51 | wouldn't take anything in. Es, let's look at the Dow now is YM, you? 2024, |
1210 | 01:40:58 --> 01:41:04 | same thing here, to clean it. Be reasonable for it to see it spike up |
1211 | 01:41:04 --> 01:41:16 | into that. I don't trade the Dow. The Dow, to me, is the 3030, and if there's |
1212 | 01:41:16 --> 01:41:19 | a prostitute in these indices, it's definitely the Tao. And I ain't trying |
1213 | 01:41:19 --> 01:41:26 | to get an STD. So this is one I don't touch. I look for it to kind of confirm |
1214 | 01:41:27 --> 01:41:31 | market breath and and continuity in a price run. If there's a divergence |
1215 | 01:41:31 --> 01:41:39 | between it, I will have it on the radar and as a contributing factor for |
1216 | 01:41:39 --> 01:41:43 | determining whether or not, I want to take a partial on the trade. If I start |
1217 | 01:41:43 --> 01:41:49 | seeing the Dow go against with the NASDAQ and the SNP are dealing, I will |
1218 | 01:41:51 --> 01:41:56 | be cautious, but I won't probably trade with a complete closure of the trade, |
1219 | 01:41:56 --> 01:42:00 | because there's a divergence in the Dow, because it's only 3030 stocks that make |
1220 | 01:42:00 --> 01:42:04 | up the indices, but if I do see a divergence, speaking in the NASDAQ, and |
1221 | 01:42:04 --> 01:42:08 | I'm long, and the Nasdaq has a higher high, and S P does not have a higher |
1222 | 01:42:08 --> 01:42:12 | high, but chances are I'm probably going to take a partial off the trade because |
1223 | 01:42:12 --> 01:42:20 | it's it's indicating a weakening momentum or in agreement with the Scale. |
1224 | 01:42:20 --> 01:42:26 | Don't even look at it, because she'll just keep doing more of it. The any |
1225 | 01:42:26 --> 01:42:32 | divergence that I see in the Dow, I take it with a grain of salt. But if I see a |
1226 | 01:42:32 --> 01:42:38 | divergence, and there's an inability of the NASDAQ and the s, p to make the same |
1227 | 01:42:38 --> 01:42:41 | highs, to me, that's a more valid SMT divergence in numbers. It's it's |
1228 | 01:42:41 --> 01:42:47 | indicating there's potentially much more weakness that may not be visible to the |
1229 | 01:42:47 --> 01:42:49 | other traders that are trading it because they're not comparing and |
1230 | 01:42:49 --> 01:42:54 | contrasting the difference between the three averages. So I think it's |
1231 | 01:42:54 --> 01:42:58 | reasonable to see the Dow go up and disrupt this smooth area here, because |
1232 | 01:42:58 --> 01:43:04 | what's happened down here. This is all that jaggedness, right? So this down |
1233 | 01:43:04 --> 01:43:09 | here is smooth. So it's, to me, it just makes sense for them to basically get |
1234 | 01:43:10 --> 01:43:19 | all this smoothness disrupted back to ES. Same thing here we have these |
1235 | 01:43:19 --> 01:43:25 | relative equal highs. I would expect them to disrupt that as well. Even |
1236 | 01:43:25 --> 01:43:31 | though we had a higher high here, we can go back to this one. You know, you can |
1237 | 01:43:31 --> 01:43:35 | see the conditions are still being there. We have smooth, relative, equal |
1238 | 01:43:35 --> 01:43:38 | highs here. If that was what you're framing on, that's great. But if I'm |
1239 | 01:43:38 --> 01:43:41 | going to refer back to this one, it's in comparison to that, and it still meets |
1240 | 01:43:41 --> 01:43:42 | the criteria. |
