ICT YT - 2025-02-02 - Shotgun Saturday February 01 2025

Last modified by Drunk Monkey on 2025-04-03 12:10
1 00:00:34 --> 00:00:41 ICT: Well, hello folks, welcome back. So I'm a little tardy today. I had a lot of
2 00:00:41 --> 00:00:50 curve balls thrown at me in January of 2025 and the Saturday morning was no
3 00:00:50 --> 00:00:54 exception. Let's just put it that way. So I'm this thankful I was able to get
4 00:00:54 --> 00:00:59 everything finished and taken care of. And now it's kind of late here in my
5 00:00:59 --> 00:01:03 local time, so I'm going to try to make this one brief, but I'm also going to
6 00:01:03 --> 00:01:10 introduce the structures that way. Every Saturday you'll have some type of review
7 00:01:11 --> 00:01:17 and a little bit of encouragement and talking Session. I'll leave the talking
8 00:01:17 --> 00:01:26 session that's not art related towards the end of the shotgun Saturday. So
9 00:01:26 --> 00:01:32 we're going to take a look at what transpired on Friday. So we're looking
10 00:01:32 --> 00:01:37 at a daily chart here on the NASDAQ 100 March. Delivery contract for 2025 and I
11 00:01:37 --> 00:01:45 want to take your attention to this candlestick right here. Okay, that is
12 00:01:45 --> 00:01:53 the previous week's Friday daily candle. High, that candle comes in at 22,078.25
13 00:01:55 --> 00:02:02 the low, that candle comes in at 21,008 44, now, since it's a solid down closed
14 00:02:02 --> 00:02:10 candle, we're going to measure that range and get an equilibrium price
15 00:02:10 --> 00:02:14 point, which is half of the range between the candles high and the Low,
16 00:02:14 --> 00:02:24 21,009, 61.25, as you'll see this level here, we're focusing primarily just on
17 00:02:24 --> 00:02:28 that. So the high and the low that candle is not all that important to me
18 00:02:28 --> 00:02:32 now. Now we have a gap in here, and I'm going back to the body's close, and the
19 00:02:32 --> 00:02:39 reason why is because there's a volume imbalance here that overlaps with this.
20 00:02:39 --> 00:02:44 Candlesticks open and high. So they're all the same price, essentially here.
21 00:02:44 --> 00:02:50 And then this candlesticks closed, and it had a wick down into the low of this.
22 00:02:51 --> 00:02:58 So even though this is a true separation between the candlesticks of previous
23 00:02:58 --> 00:03:05 Friday and then this present week's Mondays opening. That is a real gap, but
24 00:03:05 --> 00:03:10 I'm highlighting it back to that body here, so it's kind of like a hybrid of a
25 00:03:10 --> 00:03:18 volume imbalance and an actual gap. So that midpoint here is actually this, the
26 00:03:18 --> 00:03:22 same thing as the low of that previous Fridays candlestick. So that's not the
27 00:03:22 --> 00:03:26 exact price, but we're just blending those two ideas, because it makes it
28 00:03:26 --> 00:03:34 very simple. The sell side down here, I'm interested in seeing if it has a
29 00:03:34 --> 00:03:40 willingness to get down here. What changes that ahead of the new week,
30 00:03:40 --> 00:03:45 because obviously it's Saturday night here in the West Coast of the United
31 00:03:45 --> 00:03:50 States. So I'm going to go out on a limb here and say, as long as we don't trade
32 00:03:51 --> 00:04:01 above this midpoint here, or previous Fridays low, as long as we don't trade
33 00:04:01 --> 00:04:05 above that, my bias is going to be next week, going into here. Now, if you look
34 00:04:05 --> 00:04:11 over here, we have this low, we have this low, and we have a slightly higher
35 00:04:11 --> 00:04:15 low. So that's why I'm defining it based on this, because as the rules I taught
36 00:04:15 --> 00:04:20 you in the YouTube channel, this is a high probability candidate for South
37 00:04:20 --> 00:04:26 Side liquidity pool so it can meet the criteria as a draw on liquidity. I like
38 00:04:26 --> 00:04:32 the fact that we opened here, ran up into the inefficiency I mentioned, and
39 00:04:32 --> 00:04:37 then gave up the ghost and came back down in you're also encouraged to look
40 00:04:37 --> 00:04:40 at the weekly range. I'm not going to show that here. It's something for your
41 00:04:40 --> 00:04:44 homework. When I give you homework, it's not necessarily me giving you something
42 00:04:44 --> 00:04:48 that I want to come back and revisit. It's me prompting you to look at things
43 00:04:48 --> 00:04:52 and collect information and data, and over time, by you doing things like
44 00:04:52 --> 00:04:59 this, it will naturally reveal what it is that's being shown. By repetition,
45 00:04:59 --> 00:05:02 you'll see the past. Transforming. But I want you to look at the highest high and
46 00:05:02 --> 00:05:07 the lowest low of this week's trading for NASDAQ, and simply go to a weekly
47 00:05:07 --> 00:05:12 chart and drop a Fibonacci from the low and drag it up to the high of the week.
48 00:05:13 --> 00:05:21 And what you'll see is, even though we have a very wiki weekly candlestick on
49 00:05:21 --> 00:05:28 the low, it still did a TGIF, which is it trades back to 20 to 30% of the
50 00:05:28 --> 00:05:33 weekly range after having some exhaustive price move to the upside. So
51 00:05:33 --> 00:05:38 while the weekly candlestick is a bearish close with a very, very extreme
52 00:05:38 --> 00:05:48 low of the week like a doji type thing that still delivered on the 20 to 30% of
53 00:05:48 --> 00:05:53 the weekly range, which is my, my, tt, if, thank God it's Friday trade. Idea
54 00:05:53 --> 00:06:00 where the the market tends to move back in retracement from Thursdays 1pm to
55 00:06:00 --> 00:06:05 Friday's close in that portion of the weekly range, you'll usually get a 20 to
56 00:06:05 --> 00:06:10 30% of the weekly range. Retracement. And as a reminder for those that just
57 00:06:10 --> 00:06:15 heard that for the first time, I have an actual lesson right on YouTube channel.
58 00:06:15 --> 00:06:19 Just search TGIF on the YouTube channel and you'll find the one video that
59 00:06:19 --> 00:06:26 teaches about it. So there's lots of liquidity resting below these lows in
60 00:06:26 --> 00:06:32 here. It doesn't mean that it's going to go down there without, you know, any
61 00:06:32 --> 00:06:39 risk. It's certainly going to be risky because we're assuming that where we
62 00:06:39 --> 00:06:44 open on Sunday, which I never knew that opening price. No one knows the opening
63 00:06:44 --> 00:06:48 price on Sunday. So you have to submit yourself to that and allow whatever the
64 00:06:48 --> 00:06:52 market's going to do on Sunday to set the stage for how the market might
65 00:06:52 --> 00:06:58 deliver. So I'm opening up with a new week on Sunday with a very soft bias
66 00:06:58 --> 00:07:04 that I want to see it break down and trade in these areas here. If it were to
67 00:07:04 --> 00:07:11 trade again above the midpoint, or previous week's Friday's low, then it's
68 00:07:11 --> 00:07:18 the buy side, and that's probably going to get hit. So it's something of a a
69 00:07:18 --> 00:07:25 challenging week this week it was as a as an educator, as a mentor type role
70 00:07:25 --> 00:07:31 model. I know that what you watched me do in the telegram channel, and then
71 00:07:31 --> 00:07:38 what you watched me call for Thursday's trading at 1010, Thursday morning, and
72 00:07:38 --> 00:07:45 then watched it deliver like gangbusters. Um, uh, that causes
73 00:07:45 --> 00:07:51 obviously mixed feelings. For those of you that like see me do those high order
74 00:07:52 --> 00:07:56 executions and such, it's it's inspiring and it's encouraging. It's entertaining.
75 00:07:57 --> 00:08:02 But for those that you simply want me to teach everything that I know it
76 00:08:02 --> 00:08:09 frustrates you. So just know that between that, or let's say it this way,
77 00:08:09 --> 00:08:15 with that excluded, you know, the week would have been challenging for a ICT
78 00:08:15 --> 00:08:20 student that had just recently started. So if you felt that that difficulty,
79 00:08:21 --> 00:08:26 then that's normal. It's okay. That's exactly how you should have felt,
80 00:08:26 --> 00:08:33 because it was a very challenging week, not impossible, obviously, but certainly
81 00:08:34 --> 00:08:39 much more challenging than other weeks. There was a lot of volatility in it, and
82 00:08:40 --> 00:08:43 it forced the idea of trading inside the range. And that's kind of like the
83 00:08:43 --> 00:08:50 premise of this shotgun Saturday dropping down into an hourly chart.
84 00:08:52 --> 00:08:57 Okay, here is that midpoint level that we showed on the daily chart of
85 00:08:57 --> 00:09:02 equilibrium of the previous Fridays, down closed candle daily range. You see
86 00:09:02 --> 00:09:07 how we slammed up into it here, and then we broke down in the afternoon over
87 00:09:07 --> 00:09:16 here. That's that separation from previous Fridays, close to this present
88 00:09:16 --> 00:09:22 week that we're in, where we open up on Monday and start trading there. So that
89 00:09:22 --> 00:09:31 is your your gap, okay? Or new week opening gap. Zooming in here on a 15
90 00:09:31 --> 00:09:39 minute time frame, you see how we consolidated here, rallied up and then
91 00:09:39 --> 00:09:47 hit that middle of the weekly extreme that we formed a high one at the
92 00:09:47 --> 00:09:54 previous Friday's midpoint, or equilibrium. So that equilibrium cause
93 00:09:54 --> 00:09:59 the market to turn sharply and break down and trade lower. Now there's a
94 00:09:59 --> 00:10:04 very. Eight, obvious sell side liquidity pool resting right here. So I would not
95 00:10:04 --> 00:10:09 be surprised if we don't gap lower on Sunday. So where we settled here on
96 00:10:09 --> 00:10:15 Friday, we could open up significantly lower, okay, and then attack that there
97 00:10:19 --> 00:10:26 last up close candle on here is your bearish order block. Now I'm going to
98 00:10:26 --> 00:10:28 toss this in here. No extra charge.
99 00:10:29 --> 00:10:36 See all these wicks here we have a wick high stops at the gap. That's the
100 00:10:36 --> 00:10:41 separation between previous weeks, Fridays, closing price and then present
101 00:10:41 --> 00:10:46 weeks, Monday's opening price. So that's what's being highlighted here, but it
102 00:10:46 --> 00:10:49 hits the high of that and then trades through it, creates a wick, comes right
103 00:10:49 --> 00:10:54 back down, closes on the high of that gap. We open, rally up, create a little
104 00:10:54 --> 00:10:59 bit of a wick, and close here, and we open here, then hit that equilibrium
105 00:10:59 --> 00:11:05 price point of previous Fridays down closed candle. Now I already know some
106 00:11:05 --> 00:11:10 of you, okay, and the list is getting smaller, by the way, so I think I've got
107 00:11:10 --> 00:11:15 some individuals attention this year so far, and that's good, because I'm trying
108 00:11:15 --> 00:11:20 to do this in a manner where all I'm doing is focusing on the content and
109 00:11:20 --> 00:11:24 focusing on the setups and focusing on showcasing what it is I'm doing with the
110 00:11:24 --> 00:11:31 information that I already taught. But when the price hit that bearish order
111 00:11:31 --> 00:11:36 block there, I knew that it was likely to trade to at least this point here and
112 00:11:36 --> 00:11:47 21,007 50, I can say that, because I executed on it. But before I did that, I
113 00:11:47 --> 00:11:52 was talking to another YouTuber. And let me just toss this in here, because this
114 00:11:52 --> 00:12:00 is a shock on Saturday, so I can, I can afford the deviations from topic. And if
115 00:12:00 --> 00:12:06 that bothers you, I promise that if you listen, it's helpful. But in the past,
116 00:12:06 --> 00:12:12 I've I've reached out to other YouTubers and other educators and whatnot, and
117 00:12:12 --> 00:12:22 unfortunately, my ICT persona was very divisive, and a lot of them that did not
118 00:12:22 --> 00:12:27 find any affinity in that persona. Weren't willing to have a civil
119 00:12:27 --> 00:12:31 conversation, or they just wanted to go into all kinds of a gotcha type thing.
120 00:12:31 --> 00:12:38 Okay, you know, I share a trade idea, or I share analysis, and then I execution.
121 00:12:39 --> 00:12:43 And the person might look at and say, Well, you know, did you add those after
122 00:12:43 --> 00:12:49 the fact? And when that happens, that that's extremely offensive, especially
123 00:12:49 --> 00:12:53 when I'm trying to just simply be civil with another person in the in the
124 00:12:53 --> 00:12:57 communities as an educator, or they're out there trying to be a social media
125 00:12:57 --> 00:13:02 influencer or some kind of public figure. As soon as that type of stuff
126 00:13:02 --> 00:13:07 comes up, and these are private conversations, then I ended, I have no
127 00:13:07 --> 00:13:13 interest in having any in dialog with someone like that. So it shows an
128 00:13:13 --> 00:13:19 insecurity, too. And it's unfortunate because when I wasn't wearing the mask
129 00:13:19 --> 00:13:24 of ICT and trying to talk to other people, they can't get past it. They
130 00:13:24 --> 00:13:30 stumble over that. So I'm trying my best this year to just be who I really am.
131 00:13:30 --> 00:13:38 And one of the other YouTubers that I like, openly, I told you all in the past
132 00:13:38 --> 00:13:45 is Matt Miller. You know him on YouTube as trades by Matt, so I was pestering
133 00:13:45 --> 00:13:52 him. I don't do it all the time, but I sent him a text because we obviously
134 00:13:52 --> 00:13:59 have both shared our phone numbers with one another, but just drop into this gap
135 00:13:59 --> 00:14:02 here and I'll show you some more information, but I'll come back to Matt
136 00:14:02 --> 00:14:09 in a moment. Separations in here are gradients, gradients of that gap between
137 00:14:09 --> 00:14:14 Monday's opening price and Friday's closing price. So this is the high of
138 00:14:14 --> 00:14:20 it. This is the upper quadrant, lower, I'm sorry, midpoint or consequent
139 00:14:20 --> 00:14:26 encroachment. And here is the lower quadrant and the low, okay, and when it
140 00:14:26 --> 00:14:32 was up here at the bearish order block, to teach a very easy low, hanging fruit
141 00:14:32 --> 00:14:37 objective and trading inside the range, not requiring it to go very far, but
142 00:14:37 --> 00:14:43 still be able to find a high probability setup that to reach for when you have
143 00:14:44 --> 00:14:49 this level like this, where it's a gap and it's likely to trade lower. Why? Why
144 00:14:49 --> 00:14:52 would it be high probability for it to trade lower? Well, the fact that we're
145 00:14:52 --> 00:15:00 on Friday, and I like to always look for 20 to 30% retracement, and we. Basically
146 00:15:00 --> 00:15:06 filled in that gap between Friday previous week to present weeks Monday,
147 00:15:06 --> 00:15:09 so opening price. So we had that, we went outside a little bit, and we traded
148 00:15:09 --> 00:15:16 up into the equilibrium of the previous Friday's daily candlestick. And then it
149 00:15:16 --> 00:15:21 breaks down. And then we have the last up close candle here. I like this as the
150 00:15:21 --> 00:15:25 last up close candle, being defined as the bearish order block. You thought I
151 00:15:25 --> 00:15:29 was going to cover that, didn't you? All these wicks in here shared a lot of the
152 00:15:29 --> 00:15:35 same range, and that last up close candle, it is the change in the state of
153 00:15:35 --> 00:15:41 delivery that opening price, right there. Okay, so there are people out
154 00:15:41 --> 00:15:47 there that are falsely claiming that I'm borrowing logic from someone that just
155 00:15:47 --> 00:15:52 recently learned how to read price action through my content and without
156 00:15:52 --> 00:15:58 stirring the pot. Even more than others like to do, I'm just going to count you
157 00:15:58 --> 00:16:03 to go back and listen to what I'm outlining live in Telegram, and then
158 00:16:03 --> 00:16:08 what I outlined on Thursday. Okay, because that that's going to basically
159 00:16:08 --> 00:16:15 separate the the individuals that want to have a identity given to them without
160 00:16:15 --> 00:16:23 merit, and me. Okay, so I'm just gonna say it like that, so that way it's it's
161 00:16:23 --> 00:16:28 not meant to be egotistical. It's not meant to say I'm better than I'm just
162 00:16:28 --> 00:16:33 simply saying that I'm not borrowing anybody else's logic. Okay, but the
163 00:16:34 --> 00:16:38 reason why I brought Matt up, and I'm name dropping because I'm not doing
164 00:16:38 --> 00:16:42 mentorship anymore. I cut all of the teachings off with my private mentorship
165 00:16:42 --> 00:16:48 group. Admittedly, he and I talked prior to that, but I asked him not to say
166 00:16:48 --> 00:16:54 anything, and that was just because that's my personal time and I didn't
167 00:16:54 --> 00:16:58 want anybody's feelings to get hurt. But now, because I'm not operating the
168 00:16:58 --> 00:17:03 mentorship at all, I'm free to disclose whatever I want, whatever I want to do.
169 00:17:03 --> 00:17:08 I can do it now. I could have done it all times before, but I'm just stating
170 00:17:08 --> 00:17:11 the facts because I shared this with someone that's in the trading community.
171 00:17:12 --> 00:17:20 Not that I even need this, but if I like someone, I have the the right to be able
172 00:17:20 --> 00:17:28 to talk to them any way I want, and in a meaning by saying that is, if I'm trying
173 00:17:28 --> 00:17:33 to share an opinion, he didn't ask me for it, by the way. I just shoot him a
174 00:17:33 --> 00:17:38 text once in a while, and I just so happened to say, Okay, well, it's
175 00:17:38 --> 00:17:44 afternoon. I'm just gonna toss him an idea to just watch. Okay, so I'm not
176 00:17:44 --> 00:17:48 claiming he's my student. I'm not trying to do anything to make you know drama.
177 00:17:48 --> 00:17:52 I'm just stating the facts that what I'm about to show you was explained in a
178 00:17:52 --> 00:17:56 text message to someone else. Because there's so many of you that like to
179 00:17:56 --> 00:18:01 believe that these are all hindsight, cherry picked and demo and they're just
180 00:18:02 --> 00:18:08 ate up with, you know, hatefulness. And I understand, I get it, but just know
181 00:18:08 --> 00:18:13 that, you know, I have receipts. So just relax. So if we drop down into a five
182 00:18:13 --> 00:18:19 minute chart, you can see how price slams up into that last up close candle
183 00:18:19 --> 00:18:23 on the 15 minute time frame. So I already know some of you are looking at
184 00:18:23 --> 00:18:26 this and saying, Well, how do you how do you know when to look at this
185 00:18:26 --> 00:18:30 candlestick and what's, what's this time frames importance right now is the price
186 00:18:30 --> 00:18:35 delivery continuum, meaning that you go from a top down approach to lower time
187 00:18:35 --> 00:18:40 frame, and you're constantly cycling through you're always looking for points
188 00:18:40 --> 00:18:45 of reference that's going to meet the expectations that your trade idea or
189 00:18:45 --> 00:18:50 your bias or draw on liquidity is going to introduce the idea to. And here I'm
190 00:18:50 --> 00:18:56 interested in going short. So when price was hanging around here, I said to
191 00:18:56 --> 00:19:02 myself, it's likely to go lower. And because you watch me do something that's
192 00:19:02 --> 00:19:08 extraordinary. And I don't mean that be bragging. I'm not bragging, but I think
193 00:19:08 --> 00:19:13 anyone that watched what I was doing on Thursday in the telegram channel, and
194 00:19:13 --> 00:19:19 then the comment and analysis idea that I suggested for the afternoon that day
195 00:19:20 --> 00:19:24 at 1010, that means 10 o'clock in the morning, 10 minutes after 10 Eastern
196 00:19:24 --> 00:19:30 time, I closed in the telegram channel with what I was going to anticipate
197 00:19:30 --> 00:19:36 seeing in the afternoon. And then it delivered. And then, obviously, I
198 00:19:36 --> 00:19:41 executed on. And I dare you, I dare you to say that was a demo. Dare You to do
199 00:19:41 --> 00:19:48 it. So when I was trading up in the dead bear shorter block, I wanted to go short
200 00:19:48 --> 00:19:54 there, and then that little retracement back up in I added to it. And I'll I'll
201 00:19:54 --> 00:19:58 show you in a moment. Just give me a minute. But I wanted to teach something
202 00:19:58 --> 00:20:02 that was more in line with what. I want to showcase this year because I had
203 00:20:02 --> 00:20:09 someone comment on something I said in my private mentorship before I closed it
204 00:20:09 --> 00:20:09 down,
205 00:20:12 --> 00:20:18 years ago, I saw a lot of people, and I still get it till to this day, if I
206 00:20:18 --> 00:20:22 share a trade execution, invariably, I'll have a dozen people say I took the
207 00:20:22 --> 00:20:27 same trade. I know you didn't take the train trade. There's no way you took the
208 00:20:27 --> 00:20:30 same trade that I did on Thursday. There's absolutely no way you did that.
209 00:20:31 --> 00:20:35 And I know this is true because you don't know what I used to. Get into
210 00:20:35 --> 00:20:39 those ideas. You can see it in hindsight, but you don't know what I
211 00:20:39 --> 00:20:45 did. One of the things that I used as a litmus test for people that like to
212 00:20:46 --> 00:20:49 pretend they had already known all the things that I've been revealing to the
213 00:20:49 --> 00:20:55 community over the years about algorithmic price delivery, they they
214 00:20:55 --> 00:20:59 have obviously adopted what I have taught. They use my vocabulary, my
215 00:20:59 --> 00:21:04 vernacular, everything you can tell who's treated or learned from me. Okay?
216 00:21:05 --> 00:21:10 And there's this new wave that folks are trying to create, you know, some kind of
217 00:21:10 --> 00:21:15 a side quest, some kind of a, you know, different storyline that makes them
218 00:21:15 --> 00:21:20 sound like they're, you know, unique, but they're really just borrowing my
219 00:21:20 --> 00:21:23 logic. And there's nothing wrong with borrowing my logic. That's why I taught
220 00:21:23 --> 00:21:28 it, you know. I want to, I want to see you use it. One of the biggest turn offs
221 00:21:28 --> 00:21:31 is, is, you know these guys that go out there and say that they have known about
222 00:21:31 --> 00:21:35 it, or they've been using it for so long, or I'm using their stuff, which is
223 00:21:35 --> 00:21:41 obviously stupid, you know? But I have always said that if you understand the
224 00:21:41 --> 00:21:46 algorithm, then you'll know what an imp 24 is. And obviously no one was able to
225 00:21:46 --> 00:21:50 come forward with it, but people that have studied my stuff in it creating
226 00:21:50 --> 00:21:56 their little mentorships such, and they would lie and say that an imp 24 is
227 00:21:56 --> 00:21:59 something in the chart. They would say, Oh, it's a small little dealing range,
228 00:21:59 --> 00:22:04 and there's imp 24 is everywhere. It's wrong. That's a lie. That's an absolute
229 00:22:04 --> 00:22:13 lie. An imp 24 is the daily range narrative. What is going to make that
230 00:22:13 --> 00:22:18 daily range do? What it's going to do from open to close when there's a lot of
231 00:22:18 --> 00:22:21 manipulation, I don't know what it's going to do until I get the information.
232 00:22:21 --> 00:22:26 And I had that at 1010, on Thursday, and I shared it with you. I said, this is
233 00:22:26 --> 00:22:32 what I'm looking for. I'm looking for the afternoon to trade up and trade into
234 00:22:32 --> 00:22:38 the levels I gave you. And then you watched me execute on it. I did that
235 00:22:38 --> 00:22:47 trade, and I basically demolished it, like I simply demolished it. And I'm
236 00:22:47 --> 00:22:52 telling you this because there are a lot of people that are going to lie to you a
237 00:22:52 --> 00:22:56 lot now, because I'm not doing anything, even with my private mentorship group,
238 00:22:56 --> 00:23:00 and some of them are very upset with that, but I'm not, I'm not going to
239 00:23:00 --> 00:23:04 provide content to people that are without class, that are constantly
240 00:23:04 --> 00:23:09 selling it, trying to offer it to other people that can't be a part of it. And
241 00:23:09 --> 00:23:12 frankly, I'm burnt out with all the complaining that they think they own me,
242 00:23:13 --> 00:23:16 and I don't like that, not everybody, but there's a few of them in there, and
243 00:23:16 --> 00:23:23 I'm just I'm at my wits end with people that are entitled. I love teaching. I
244 00:23:23 --> 00:23:29 absolutely love doing it. It's in me to do it, and because I love it, and I feel
245 00:23:29 --> 00:23:33 that I have something that's unique. No one else is qualified to teach what I'm
246 00:23:33 --> 00:23:37 doing. So I have a lot of students that are now teaching because they learned a
247 00:23:37 --> 00:23:41 model that they like, and they've made lots of money, I'm selling for millions
248 00:23:41 --> 00:23:45 of dollars, and now they're doing their own little thing. I'm not standing in
249 00:23:45 --> 00:23:51 their way, but I can't be in any way of attachment, because if they do something
250 00:23:51 --> 00:23:57 that gets them in trouble, I'm isolated from that. So that's why I don't co
251 00:23:57 --> 00:24:00 sign. When you start teaching, because you've learned from me, and you start
252 00:24:00 --> 00:24:05 running mentorships, and you start charging people money. I cut you off. I
253 00:24:05 --> 00:24:09 don't have any interaction with you anymore. The reason why is because now
254 00:24:09 --> 00:24:17 you've entered a realm that if you do something that's causing someone harm, I
255 00:24:17 --> 00:24:21 am not I'm not liable for anything that you're doing, simply because you learn
256 00:24:21 --> 00:24:25 my content and learn from me that doesn't, that doesn't associate me with
257 00:24:25 --> 00:24:31 whatever you've done to other people. So I've had lots of students do that, and
258 00:24:31 --> 00:24:35 they understand why I don't communicate with them anymore. It's not I'm I'm not
259 00:24:35 --> 00:24:38 trying to be rude, I'm not trying to be mean. It's just I'm not trying to be
260 00:24:38 --> 00:24:44 associated with another business entity that is a spin off of my own work, and
261 00:24:44 --> 00:24:49 there's a lot of people out there abuse what it is I've taught, but what you saw
262 00:24:49 --> 00:24:56 me do on Thursday, it was me using the imp 24 I know what that algorithm was
263 00:24:56 --> 00:25:00 going to do, and you can argue, and you can say whatever you want to say. And
264 00:25:00 --> 00:25:05 make videos and whatnot, but you watch me do it live. I called it out, and the
265 00:25:05 --> 00:25:12 very PD arrays were used in the afternoon session. Now, is that very,
266 00:25:12 --> 00:25:18 very good luck, or is that something that I told you I have in my repertoire
267 00:25:18 --> 00:25:22 that I'm never going to teach you? Now you're thinking, and I got a lot of
268 00:25:22 --> 00:25:24 comments about this, why even bring it up? If you're not going to teach it,
269 00:25:25 --> 00:25:29 you're holding back, yes, because that is my that's my enigma. You watched me
270 00:25:29 --> 00:25:36 use it there with manual entries. There's automated Enigma, which you
271 00:25:36 --> 00:25:42 would never lay your hands on or eyes on, and me using the logic that my
272 00:25:42 --> 00:25:46 algorithm would fire off on. That's what I was doing. I was executing on that,
273 00:25:46 --> 00:25:53 and that literally smokes everything out there you see me doing over and over and
274 00:25:53 --> 00:25:59 over again stop loss placement, just to mock price action. I'm I'm daring it,
275 00:26:00 --> 00:26:04 and I know, as long as there's a manual intervention that's kept at bay, it
276 00:26:04 --> 00:26:09 means they're not, you know, in there, moving things around in extremes, I
277 00:26:09 --> 00:26:13 understand what the algorithm is going to do, and you'll never find another
278 00:26:13 --> 00:26:18 person being able to do that. And again, I'm saying that factually, I'm saying
279 00:26:18 --> 00:26:24 that with a great deal of consideration to the ears that are listening to me,
280 00:26:24 --> 00:26:31 because you all know me as inner circle trader, and I made my image around being
281 00:26:31 --> 00:26:35 braggadocious and in your face. I'm not trying to do that here. I'm just saying,
282 00:26:36 --> 00:26:42 Look at what I've done. Just look at what I've called for in advance, one
283 00:26:42 --> 00:26:46 minute candlesticks at a time, and then I told you exactly what was going to be
284 00:26:46 --> 00:26:50 used for the afternoon session. Nobody else was doing that. No one was able to
285 00:26:50 --> 00:26:54 do that, and you'll never be able to see anyone else do it. So when you see these
286 00:26:54 --> 00:26:58 guys out there saying they know what an imp 24 is, if they don't know how to
287 00:26:58 --> 00:27:03 call the daily range formation. That means that's the actual daily range, how
288 00:27:03 --> 00:27:08 it's formed. Okay? That is not borrowed logic. The people that sit on social
289 00:27:08 --> 00:27:13 media and say those types of things, they wish they understood this, they're
290 00:27:13 --> 00:27:16 the ones that are in there making software accounts begging me to teach
291 00:27:16 --> 00:27:25 it, and I'm never going to teach that. It's too good. Okay, it's too good. So I
292 00:27:25 --> 00:27:30 had to share that because I had very sincere requests for it, because that
293 00:27:30 --> 00:27:36 part of that, I guess, information I was given to one of my user groups in my
294 00:27:36 --> 00:27:41 mentorship have lots of leakers in one particular group, and I've whittled them
295 00:27:41 --> 00:27:48 down into a couple 1000 members, and I just got, I just lost interest in it.
296 00:27:48 --> 00:27:51 It's easier for me to say I'm not going to do it anymore and put it all out here
297 00:27:51 --> 00:27:55 for free, and all of those videos we're going to be up on my YouTube channel.
298 00:27:55 --> 00:28:00 It's going to take me weeks to do it. I'll add, you know, a month or two, you
299 00:28:00 --> 00:28:07 know, each week of commentaries, but you'll see that I I'm literally not
300 00:28:07 --> 00:28:12 interested in doing any kind of charging of money. And if you pay for this
301 00:28:12 --> 00:28:16 information after this, like you're you're really being foolish, because I'm
302 00:28:16 --> 00:28:24 giving it away. I'm literally giving it away. So when individuals take this
303 00:28:24 --> 00:28:30 information and the things that I revealed as an imp 24 until you saw
304 00:28:30 --> 00:28:34 Thursday, you might have been on the fence about, well, you know this guy, he
305 00:28:34 --> 00:28:40 talks a lot of stuff and sounds, you know, conspiratorial. It sounds insane.
306 00:28:40 --> 00:28:45 It's a Sky's the lunatic, right? Show me someone else that could do what you
307 00:28:45 --> 00:28:48 watched me do on Thursday, and I gave you what it was going to do at 10
308 00:28:48 --> 00:28:53 o'clock in the morning. You're not going to find it. I promise you, you will not
309 00:28:53 --> 00:28:57 be able to find another person doing that. Okay? And if they can, they were
310 00:28:57 --> 00:29:01 going to do it right away, and they're not going to be able to be able to do
311 00:29:01 --> 00:29:07 it. So that's what's that's what's different about me. Okay, so now the
312 00:29:07 --> 00:29:12 draw the line. Why am I even talking about it? The idea of having that type
313 00:29:13 --> 00:29:18 of control over what you're doing as a trader, knowing with a great deal of
314 00:29:18 --> 00:29:22 foresight, it looks too good to be true, and if I wouldn't have told you what I
315 00:29:22 --> 00:29:25 was going to use in the afternoon beforehand, you probably would have said
316 00:29:25 --> 00:29:29 it was cherry picked, right? I did that. So that way, the folks that are on the
317 00:29:29 --> 00:29:34 fence about there's an algorithm or there isn't an algorithm, that's a real
318 00:29:34 --> 00:29:38 big pill to swallow. Now, isn't it, nobody's talking about that, but they're
319 00:29:38 --> 00:29:42 talking about what I've done in the past and what I've said in the past, but I
320 00:29:42 --> 00:29:45 have receipts for it, okay? And
321 00:29:46 --> 00:29:50 I never, I never promised I was going to teach my enigma. Okay, that's my
322 00:29:50 --> 00:29:55 personal algorithm, but that's what you witnessed on Thursday. That was me just
323 00:29:55 --> 00:30:00 pulling back the veil and Sean to you what I am focusing on in 2020, Five is
324 00:30:00 --> 00:30:03 simply looking at low hanging fruit objectives. So what I did was I told
325 00:30:03 --> 00:30:07 Matt Miller, with who was traded by Matt on YouTube, that I felt the market was
326 00:30:07 --> 00:30:14 going to go lower. And ultimately, the new day opening gap for Friday was also
327 00:30:14 --> 00:30:19 a draw. So there's a lot of things that were factors for likely to see the
328 00:30:19 --> 00:30:23 market go lower in the afternoon on Friday. So as the market traded back up
329 00:30:23 --> 00:30:30 into that bearish order block, I knew that the first presented fair value gap
330 00:30:30 --> 00:30:35 here was a likely draw as well. So everything was in a premium. They've
331 00:30:35 --> 00:30:41 done enough to take out all of the new trailed stop losses. Anyone that was
332 00:30:41 --> 00:30:45 short now they can go in and start working back towards the discount in the
333 00:30:45 --> 00:30:49 range. Okay? And first percentage of fair value gap. If you extend that over
334 00:30:49 --> 00:30:53 into the afternoon, it becomes an inversion fair value gap there. So it's
335 00:30:53 --> 00:31:00 changing its characteristic from bullish to bearish. So what's an easy, low
336 00:31:00 --> 00:31:06 hanging fruit objective that can be utilized to as a draw on liquidity, and
337 00:31:06 --> 00:31:10 also very easy target, and not even trade back to first presenter, fair
338 00:31:10 --> 00:31:15 value gap or trade down into the sell side liquidity over here at 21,007 50,
339 00:31:16 --> 00:31:21 or The New Day opening gap. Well, the easiest low hanging fruit objective
340 00:31:21 --> 00:31:26 would be half of that gap that was formed from previous week's closing
341 00:31:26 --> 00:31:29 price on Friday and the Monday opening price of this present week. That's this
342 00:31:29 --> 00:31:34 blue shaded box. That's what I was showing you to get in the video. So
343 00:31:34 --> 00:31:39 aiming for this midpoint is a real easy objective. So I was telling Matt, and in
344 00:31:39 --> 00:31:43 text that he was busy working on his Arnold Palmer out there on the greens,
345 00:31:43 --> 00:31:47 trying to be a golfer. And I'm I'm ribbing you, Matt, because I can't stand
346 00:31:47 --> 00:31:50 golf. I don't understand why people are interested in that. It's terrible for
347 00:31:50 --> 00:31:55 your back. It's not even athletic. And to me, it's just, it's extremely boring.
348 00:31:56 --> 00:32:00 But people say that about me too, and I get it, but I told him, I said, you
349 00:32:00 --> 00:32:09 know, I think it's going to go lower, and I'm looking for lower prices. And I
350 00:32:09 --> 00:32:13 went short, and I'll show you the execution here. So there's a entry
351 00:32:13 --> 00:32:16 points, and you submit. See that little, small, little gap right there with the
352 00:32:16 --> 00:32:20 volume of balance as price went up into it there. That's where I added again. So
353 00:32:20 --> 00:32:27 I went short seven contracts, added three more contracts for a short of 10.
354 00:32:27 --> 00:32:33 And you can see the executions there, and as it hit the level here, a couple
355 00:32:34 --> 00:32:41 handles above, just for the sake of the spread, there you go. Okay, so again,
356 00:32:42 --> 00:32:46 this is for the folks who keep asking me, you know, why don't I do these prop
357 00:32:46 --> 00:32:51 accounts? Why don't I get 20 accounts with apex? Why don't I get 20 accounts
358 00:32:51 --> 00:32:55 with this extra guy company over here? First of all, I don't know these people.
359 00:32:56 --> 00:32:59 They're not regulated, and I would never give them my personal identification and
360 00:32:59 --> 00:33:02 Social Security and all these things. Is to make sure I can get the money out of
361 00:33:02 --> 00:33:07 the money out of them and do the math just on what you saw this week. Okay, I
362 00:33:07 --> 00:33:10 would have made over a million dollars just this week. You think they're going
363 00:33:10 --> 00:33:14 to pay that out consistently, or they're going to let me stay around and do that?
364 00:33:14 --> 00:33:19 No, they're not going to do that. So to save myself trouble, I'm not worrying
365 00:33:19 --> 00:33:22 about it. So if I want to make a million dollars, I can go out there and make a
366 00:33:22 --> 00:33:24 million dollars. I don't million dollars. I don't need to use paper
367 00:33:24 --> 00:33:30 trading or demo accounts and then hope that these guys honor it and pay out. So
368 00:33:30 --> 00:33:35 I'm not interested in that. So whatever you see me doing all these like the
369 00:33:35 --> 00:33:42 trade I did on on Thursday, that would have been it, in one trade. Boom, it's
370 00:33:42 --> 00:33:48 done. I could have added more to it if it was with 20 accounts, and then I
371 00:33:48 --> 00:33:53 would have been the highest paid out prop firm trader, not my student. That's
372 00:33:53 --> 00:33:58 trying to pretend he's not right. So if we look at what we did on a one minute
373 00:33:58 --> 00:34:02 chart here, you can see the change in its characteristic over here with the
374 00:34:02 --> 00:34:05 first presenter for your bag gap, the sell side liquidity. Actually, I told
375 00:34:05 --> 00:34:10 trades on that too. Also, 21,007 50 is possible, but I had to run out. I
376 00:34:10 --> 00:34:13 couldn't stay with the charge to do anything, which was the reason why I did
377 00:34:13 --> 00:34:16 that. Half of that range, but then it hit. And then, of course, I did my
378 00:34:16 --> 00:34:22 typical, you know, I like to be facetious with him, because it's like a
379 00:34:22 --> 00:34:26 running joke, and he knows what I'm talking about. But long story short, it
380 00:34:26 --> 00:34:30 trades down into the new day, opening gap for Friday, and even goes lower than
381 00:34:30 --> 00:34:30 that.
382 00:34:35 --> 00:34:39 So I did a lot of the jaw burning that I would have done in this section here,
383 00:34:39 --> 00:34:44 but I want to use this moment in the recording, because it's getting a little
384 00:34:44 --> 00:34:47 bit longer than I want, and I'm tired, to be honest with you, so you probably
385 00:34:47 --> 00:34:53 hear my voice. I'm tired reflections and resolve meaning that you looked at last
386 00:34:53 --> 00:34:56 week. It was a little bit of a challenging week, okay? And I say that
387 00:34:56 --> 00:35:02 not for myself. I'm saying it in retrospect. To you as a student, because
388 00:35:02 --> 00:35:06 I'm assuming that you're a new student with my content. You may not have been
389 00:35:07 --> 00:35:10 recently, just introduced it, maybe even using for a long time, but in my
390 00:35:10 --> 00:35:14 opinion, I felt that this past week would have been challenging for a new
391 00:35:14 --> 00:35:20 student using my content. Obviously, in my hands, I can make it work. And for
392 00:35:20 --> 00:35:25 people that have trained, with respect to women, on time and did the due
393 00:35:25 --> 00:35:29 diligence of back testing, logging and really digging into finding our model
394 00:35:29 --> 00:35:33 with it, I believe they could have found something that would have been helpful
395 00:35:33 --> 00:35:39 to them and positive on the outcome. What resolve can we apply going in the
396 00:35:39 --> 00:35:44 next week. Well, I'm looking for lower prices, and if it breaks down lower, I
397 00:35:44 --> 00:35:49 think we have a really wonderful February ahead where we're going to
398 00:35:49 --> 00:35:55 probably see a lot of large ranges, a little bit more trending type moves, and
399 00:35:55 --> 00:36:01 that's exciting. So some of you're asking, Where's these 20 videos you
400 00:36:01 --> 00:36:04 promised, you promised. You promised. I also am a real person. I'm not an
401 00:36:04 --> 00:36:08 artificial intelligence. So that means I have family members, I have personal
402 00:36:08 --> 00:36:12 things. I take care of my businesses that I run. All these things require my
403 00:36:12 --> 00:36:19 personal time. I had my oldest son, his business, he caught fire, and I had to
404 00:36:19 --> 00:36:23 make changes in my schedule, and I had to do a lot of different things because
405 00:36:24 --> 00:36:29 now his finances and his wife, they're all, you know, they're nervous about
406 00:36:29 --> 00:36:34 that, so I'm helping them. My other sons, they moved, and I had to help
407 00:36:34 --> 00:36:39 them. I didn't feel good, you know, a couple days this past month, and my
408 00:36:39 --> 00:36:44 father, who just recently got a prison has not done what I had hoped he would
409 00:36:44 --> 00:36:49 be doing when he come out here. So I have a lot of things going on on my
410 00:36:49 --> 00:36:56 plate, and that has been too much for me to be a, you know, it was. It's a bigger
411 00:36:56 --> 00:37:00 barrier for me to have gone out and made the amount of content that I intended
412 00:37:00 --> 00:37:04 to. Does it mean I'm not going to? No, it just means it has to be deferred.
413 00:37:04 --> 00:37:10 When I can make time for it, I will. So it's the beginning of the year, folks.
414 00:37:10 --> 00:37:13 Okay, it's kind of like a New Year's resolution. If you start off with the
415 00:37:13 --> 00:37:17 resolutions and you don't hit every goal every day you're trying to do it, as
416 00:37:17 --> 00:37:20 long as you keep moving in the right direction, that's the progress you're
417 00:37:20 --> 00:37:25 looking for. So we make goals, we set, you know, agendas, but real life
418 00:37:25 --> 00:37:31 dictates that, and I unfortunately had a lot late in my lap this past month, and
419 00:37:31 --> 00:37:34 it prevented me to do the things I wanted to do in terms of productivity
420 00:37:34 --> 00:37:40 for teaching. So that's why you didn't get 20 videos. I'm not saying I'm not
421 00:37:40 --> 00:37:44 going to do them. I'm just saying I don't know how and what time frame it's
422 00:37:44 --> 00:37:48 going to take for me to get them done, but I will be actively doing it. Okay?
423 00:37:48 --> 00:37:58 So I think that if you understand what I'm sharing on the telegram, why did I
424 00:37:58 --> 00:38:03 pick telegram? By the way, it's because it's a way for me to hide the usernames
425 00:38:03 --> 00:38:07 from from the other people that want to sell in market directly and pretend that
426 00:38:07 --> 00:38:13 they're me. Because it's, it's, it's a private channel you you're able to watch
427 00:38:13 --> 00:38:16 me. There's no interactions by other people. I'm not interested in your
428 00:38:16 --> 00:38:21 thumbs up emojis. I'm not interested in. Thank you so much. I'm interested. I'm
429 00:38:21 --> 00:38:26 focusing on me, and I want to be right to the point shotgun Saturdays are going
430 00:38:26 --> 00:38:33 to be not like that, as you can see here. This is a really tame edition of
431 00:38:33 --> 00:38:40 shotgun Saturday, but I just talk organically there in the telegram. There
432 00:38:40 --> 00:38:46 is no granting it's just me focusing on price action, telling you what I'm
433 00:38:46 --> 00:38:49 looking at. And there it is. It is not signals. It is not for you to copy me,
434 00:38:49 --> 00:38:53 type, trading. It's for you to focus and learn how to read the tape. That means
435 00:38:53 --> 00:38:57 watching price delivery, reading real order flow, not the nonsense on level
436 00:38:57 --> 00:39:01 two, not the nonsense with all these other things out there, you're watching
437 00:39:01 --> 00:39:05 Real order flow. You're watching a call every little, tiny fluctuation and
438 00:39:05 --> 00:39:09 change and where the rhythm changes, and delivery of price, all those things
439 00:39:09 --> 00:39:14 you're watching that real time. There's nothing like it. It's absolutely the top
440 00:39:14 --> 00:39:20 tier in analysis, because it's the best. It is the absolute best. And I'm welcome
441 00:39:20 --> 00:39:24 anybody to put what they're doing against what I'm doing in that telegram
442 00:39:24 --> 00:39:28 channel. You'll never see it. You'll never see them out class that. And I'm
443 00:39:28 --> 00:39:33 not even doing anything extraordinary, really, yet. But I want to bring your
444 00:39:33 --> 00:39:37 attention back to what I want to focus on this year, which is looking for very
445 00:39:37 --> 00:39:43 systematic, low hanging fruit objectives. What's the benefit of having
446 00:39:43 --> 00:39:47 new day opening gaps and new week opening gaps and the opening range gap
447 00:39:47 --> 00:39:51 and having things like the first percent of everybody gap, it removes the
448 00:39:51 --> 00:39:57 ambiguity. It's very specific things, and I'm looking for setups that create
449 00:39:57 --> 00:40:01 runs back to those levels. So there. Like magnets that are thrown out there
450 00:40:01 --> 00:40:04 in price action. And when I think that price action has shown a willingness to
451 00:40:04 --> 00:40:09 want to go lower, I'm aiming for the next one in that list of things. And if
452 00:40:09 --> 00:40:14 I find it very easy, one minute fair value gap that allows me to get short on
453 00:40:14 --> 00:40:19 it, that's what I'm doing. And you're going to see that that is such an easy,
454 00:40:19 --> 00:40:23 easy approach to trading price action using what I taught already on the
455 00:40:23 --> 00:40:25 YouTube channel. I don't need to reinvent anything. I don't have to do
456 00:40:25 --> 00:40:29 any kind of advanced lessons. I'm just simply taking what I've already taught
457 00:40:29 --> 00:40:33 for free on this YouTube channel and putting it into the marketplace and
458 00:40:33 --> 00:40:37 showing you how the setups are being taken by me, the trade managements, the
459 00:40:37 --> 00:40:42 stop loss. Obviously, I'm not going to teach you how to play stop losses like
460 00:40:42 --> 00:40:47 that. Okay, again, that's enigma. That's my algorithm. That's me understanding
461 00:40:47 --> 00:40:52 how my algorithm handshakes with the market algorithm. And for the folks out
462 00:40:52 --> 00:40:59 there, you know, I was going to write a fourth book, which was fiction, and it
463 00:40:59 --> 00:41:05 was going to be basically around a fictional, you know, person, loosely
464 00:41:05 --> 00:41:09 based on the character I created for the Internet, which is inner circle trader.
465 00:41:10 --> 00:41:13 Obviously I know how to trade, obviously I know how to teach, and obviously I
466 00:41:13 --> 00:41:17 made millionaire students with this content. But I was going to write this
467 00:41:17 --> 00:41:22 book in a way to kind of like snub my nose at the people that just simply want
468 00:41:22 --> 00:41:28 to look for something to complain about all the time. And when I, when I thought
469 00:41:28 --> 00:41:32 about doing it, I was like, Well, let me create some kind of a buzz around it.
470 00:41:33 --> 00:41:37 And I always would skirt the line. I would blur the line, because I would
471 00:41:37 --> 00:41:41 always say, you know, I coded this algorithm. I codified this I'm
472 00:41:41 --> 00:41:47 specifically talking about my algorithm, IP, the ipter Bank price delivery
473 00:41:47 --> 00:41:52 algorithm, that is the master algorithm that all other markets use that same
474 00:41:52 --> 00:41:59 model. That's that same algorithm. Okay, I didn't code that. I never said I coded
475 00:41:59 --> 00:42:06 that, but I have codified and coded my enigma. My Enigma is meant to handshake
476 00:42:06 --> 00:42:10 with that. I can't take you to a place where here's where Enigma is running on
477 00:42:10 --> 00:42:17 this server or these servers. I can't do that. I am showing you how my
478 00:42:17 --> 00:42:20 interpretation of what I believe that market is going to do based on my
479 00:42:20 --> 00:42:26 understanding and how my personal algorithm, which is Enigma, dovetails
480 00:42:26 --> 00:42:32 with that and all of these things that you're seeing people write about and lie
481 00:42:33 --> 00:42:38 and say things, it's just a result of them just falling head over heels over
482 00:42:38 --> 00:42:44 The caricature that I created as inner circuit trader. So it was a marketing
483 00:42:44 --> 00:42:47 thing to get people talking. I'm a master at that. All you have to do is
484 00:42:47 --> 00:42:51 manipulate the right kind of person, which is the trolls, and they'll sell
485 00:42:51 --> 00:42:54 the idea of anything. And I had them working for free for a long time for me.
486 00:42:55 --> 00:42:58 And then when people listen to them, they want to see, does this really sound
487 00:42:58 --> 00:43:01 like something he would have said? Or is this really? Is he really doing that?
488 00:43:01 --> 00:43:05 And then he come to the YouTube channel, and you come now to the telegram channel
489 00:43:05 --> 00:43:08 and you watch me, where I can go right into it without having a lot of talking,
490 00:43:08 --> 00:43:12 like I'm doing a lot of talking in this video. It because it's meant to be a lot
491 00:43:12 --> 00:43:17 of talking. That's the shotgun aspect of it. The idea is that you jumped into the
492 00:43:17 --> 00:43:20 passenger seat of my Corvette, and we're going for a ride. We're just hanging out
493 00:43:20 --> 00:43:25 and talking. That's the premise of shotgun Saturday. So it's a boring drive
494 00:43:25 --> 00:43:28 if you're sitting there not talking with Ono, right? So
495 00:43:30 --> 00:43:38 when I'm teaching, I want you to understand the specifics, but when I'm
496 00:43:38 --> 00:43:44 focusing on showing you I don't want to talk too much, because I want your focus
497 00:43:44 --> 00:43:47 to be where my focus is. I'm not going to try to have a conversation with you
498 00:43:47 --> 00:43:50 when I'm in here trying to make money. So if I'm trying to make money, there
499 00:43:51 --> 00:43:56 isn't going to be a lot of dialog, because I'm focusing on price. So I can,
500 00:43:56 --> 00:44:01 I've always been able to do this with very little words, but I did it because
501 00:44:01 --> 00:44:05 it was all part of the marketing aspect of inner circle trader. ICT, just like
502 00:44:05 --> 00:44:10 Deadpool, is the Merc with the Mouth, well, ICT is the mentor with the mouth.
503 00:44:10 --> 00:44:14 He's talkative. He's very, very talkative. I'm not very talkative in the
504 00:44:14 --> 00:44:20 real world. I'm very introverted. So it's all a lot of pantomime to get the
505 00:44:20 --> 00:44:29 audience members engaged enough to be held to the task of listening to me. I'm
506 00:44:29 --> 00:44:32 making this as interesting as I possibly can, because really trading in itself is
507 00:44:32 --> 00:44:37 boring. It's very, very boring. You're watching price go up and down, and
508 00:44:37 --> 00:44:40 you're trying to figure out what you're going to do next, and you're worrying
509 00:44:40 --> 00:44:45 about how much you're going to lose, that's the reality of it. So to make it
510 00:44:45 --> 00:44:51 engaging and predominantly my male audience is who I'm targeting, I use
511 00:44:51 --> 00:44:58 things that are action packed, controversial, conspiracy, all those
512 00:44:58 --> 00:45:04 things you. You know, creating a mysticism around it. And that's the
513 00:45:04 --> 00:45:11 showmanship the performer in me. It's you getting lured in with that. Most of
514 00:45:11 --> 00:45:15 my students came to me with just morbid curiosity. They're like, you know, who
515 00:45:15 --> 00:45:20 is this guy? He's crazy. He's bipolar. I'm not bipolar. These are all things
516 00:45:20 --> 00:45:24 that I did to get people talking about me, and I never had to pay for
517 00:45:24 --> 00:45:29 advertising, not one time ever. And look at the channel, look at the number of
518 00:45:29 --> 00:45:33 people that listen to me, and how many people use my content. So it's in the
519 00:45:33 --> 00:45:37 beginning. Like I said on baby pips, I was doing a social media experiment. I
520 00:45:37 --> 00:45:43 wanted to see what I could cultivate from this? Could I create the same thing
521 00:45:43 --> 00:45:47 that happened in my own development? And honestly, it's still not there. There's
522 00:45:47 --> 00:45:53 never been another person that came like I did, and I tried very hard to create
523 00:45:53 --> 00:45:57 that, that test tube scenario for it could, for it to happen. It didn't
524 00:45:57 --> 00:46:04 happen. So in closing, I will be doing more lectures and teachings about the
525 00:46:04 --> 00:46:08 very specific parts of what I'm using for my model. What you watch me do on
526 00:46:08 --> 00:46:13 Thursday that is not going to be taught to you, absolutely not. And the reason
527 00:46:13 --> 00:46:18 why is, obviously it's too strong, and I would never give away my whole life's
528 00:46:18 --> 00:46:25 works, masterpiece to anyone, and it's not written down in anything. There's no
529 00:46:25 --> 00:46:29 book where you know it's written out, where someone could literally take
530 00:46:29 --> 00:46:32 something from me and know how to do you'll never, you'll never have that.
531 00:46:32 --> 00:46:39 Okay, so I think that's going to be it for this one. I've done enough talking
532 00:46:39 --> 00:46:43 for tonight. I just want to encourage you that you we're not trying to do
533 00:46:43 --> 00:46:48 everything. We're just trying to find very simple setups. Price runs from one
534 00:46:48 --> 00:46:53 logical level to the to the next based on liquidity and inefficiencies. And I
535 00:46:53 --> 00:46:57 think that by the end of the year, you'll have a better understanding about
536 00:46:57 --> 00:47:01 how you might want to go into doing this on your own. So until I talk to you next
537 00:47:01 --> 00:47:04 Time, enjoy your weekend and be safe. You.
