2 |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
3 |2 |00:00:41 ~-~-> 00:00:50 |curve balls thrown at me in January of 2025 and the Saturday morning was no
4 |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
5 |4 |00:00:54 ~-~-> 00:00:59 |everything finished and taken care of. And now it's kind of late here in my
6 |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
7 |6 |00:01:03 ~-~-> 00:01:10 |introduce the structures that way. Every Saturday you'll have some type of review
8 |7 |00:01:11 ~-~-> 00:01:17 |and a little bit of encouragement and talking Session. I'll leave the talking
9 |8 |00:01:17 ~-~-> 00:01:26 |session that's not art related towards the end of the shotgun Saturday. So
10 |9 |00:01:26 ~-~-> 00:01:32 |we're going to take a look at what transpired on Friday. So we're looking
11 |10 |00:01:32 ~-~-> 00:01:37 |at a daily chart here on the NASDAQ 100 March. Delivery contract for 2025 and I
12 |11 |00:01:37 ~-~-> 00:01:45 |want to take your attention to this candlestick right here. Okay, that is
13 |12 |00:01:45 ~-~-> 00:01:53 |the previous week's Friday daily candle. High, that candle comes in at 22,078.25
14 |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
15 |14 |00:02:02 ~-~-> 00:02:10 |candle, we're going to measure that range and get an equilibrium price
16 |15 |00:02:10 ~-~-> 00:02:14 |point, which is half of the range between the candles high and the Low,
17 |16 |00:02:14 ~-~-> 00:02:24 |21,009, 61.25, as you'll see this level here, we're focusing primarily just on
18 |17 |00:02:24 ~-~-> 00:02:28 |that. So the high and the low that candle is not all that important to me
19 |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
20 |19 |00:02:32 ~-~-> 00:02:39 |reason why is because there's a volume imbalance here that overlaps with this.
21 |20 |00:02:39 ~-~-> 00:02:44 |Candlesticks open and high. So they're all the same price, essentially here.
22 |21 |00:02:44 ~-~-> 00:02:50 |And then this candlesticks closed, and it had a wick down into the low of this.
23 |22 |00:02:51 ~-~-> 00:02:58 |So even though this is a true separation between the candlesticks of previous
24 |23 |00:02:58 ~-~-> 00:03:05 |Friday and then this present week's Mondays opening. That is a real gap, but
25 |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
26 |25 |00:03:10 ~-~-> 00:03:18 |volume imbalance and an actual gap. So that midpoint here is actually this, the
27 |26 |00:03:18 ~-~-> 00:03:22 |same thing as the low of that previous Fridays candlestick. So that's not the
28 |27 |00:03:22 ~-~-> 00:03:26 |exact price, but we're just blending those two ideas, because it makes it
29 |28 |00:03:26 ~-~-> 00:03:34 |very simple. The sell side down here, I'm interested in seeing if it has a
30 |29 |00:03:34 ~-~-> 00:03:40 |willingness to get down here. What changes that ahead of the new week,
31 |30 |00:03:40 ~-~-> 00:03:45 |because obviously it's Saturday night here in the West Coast of the United
32 |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
33 |32 |00:03:51 ~-~-> 00:04:01 |above this midpoint here, or previous Fridays low, as long as we don't trade
34 |33 |00:04:01 ~-~-> 00:04:05 |above that, my bias is going to be next week, going into here. Now, if you look
35 |34 |00:04:05 ~-~-> 00:04:11 |over here, we have this low, we have this low, and we have a slightly higher
36 |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
37 |36 |00:04:15 ~-~-> 00:04:20 |you in the YouTube channel, this is a high probability candidate for South
38 |37 |00:04:20 ~-~-> 00:04:26 |Side liquidity pool so it can meet the criteria as a draw on liquidity. I like
39 |38 |00:04:26 ~-~-> 00:04:32 |the fact that we opened here, ran up into the inefficiency I mentioned, and
40 |39 |00:04:32 ~-~-> 00:04:37 |then gave up the ghost and came back down in you're also encouraged to look
41 |40 |00:04:37 ~-~-> 00:04:40 |at the weekly range. I'm not going to show that here. It's something for your
42 |41 |00:04:40 ~-~-> 00:04:44 |homework. When I give you homework, it's not necessarily me giving you something
43 |42 |00:04:44 ~-~-> 00:04:48 |that I want to come back and revisit. It's me prompting you to look at things
44 |43 |00:04:48 ~-~-> 00:04:52 |and collect information and data, and over time, by you doing things like
45 |44 |00:04:52 ~-~-> 00:04:59 |this, it will naturally reveal what it is that's being shown. By repetition,
46 |45 |00:04:59 ~-~-> 00:05:02 |you'll see the past. Transforming. But I want you to look at the highest high and
47 |46 |00:05:02 ~-~-> 00:05:07 |the lowest low of this week's trading for NASDAQ, and simply go to a weekly
48 |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.
49 |48 |00:05:13 ~-~-> 00:05:21 |And what you'll see is, even though we have a very wiki weekly candlestick on
50 |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
51 |50 |00:05:28 ~-~-> 00:05:33 |weekly range after having some exhaustive price move to the upside. So
52 |51 |00:05:33 ~-~-> 00:05:38 |while the weekly candlestick is a bearish close with a very, very extreme
53 |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
54 |53 |00:05:48 ~-~-> 00:05:53 |the weekly range, which is my, my, tt, if, thank God it's Friday trade. Idea
55 |54 |00:05:53 ~-~-> 00:06:00 |where the the market tends to move back in retracement from Thursdays 1pm to
56 |55 |00:06:00 ~-~-> 00:06:05 |Friday's close in that portion of the weekly range, you'll usually get a 20 to
57 |56 |00:06:05 ~-~-> 00:06:10 |30% of the weekly range. Retracement. And as a reminder for those that just
58 |57 |00:06:10 ~-~-> 00:06:15 |heard that for the first time, I have an actual lesson right on YouTube channel.
59 |58 |00:06:15 ~-~-> 00:06:19 |Just search TGIF on the YouTube channel and you'll find the one video that
60 |59 |00:06:19 ~-~-> 00:06:26 |teaches about it. So there's lots of liquidity resting below these lows in
61 |60 |00:06:26 ~-~-> 00:06:32 |here. It doesn't mean that it's going to go down there without, you know, any
62 |61 |00:06:32 ~-~-> 00:06:39 |risk. It's certainly going to be risky because we're assuming that where we
63 |62 |00:06:39 ~-~-> 00:06:44 |open on Sunday, which I never knew that opening price. No one knows the opening
64 |63 |00:06:44 ~-~-> 00:06:48 |price on Sunday. So you have to submit yourself to that and allow whatever the
65 |64 |00:06:48 ~-~-> 00:06:52 |market's going to do on Sunday to set the stage for how the market might
66 |65 |00:06:52 ~-~-> 00:06:58 |deliver. So I'm opening up with a new week on Sunday with a very soft bias
67 |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
68 |67 |00:07:04 ~-~-> 00:07:11 |trade again above the midpoint, or previous week's Friday's low, then it's
69 |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
70 |69 |00:07:18 ~-~-> 00:07:25 |challenging week this week it was as a as an educator, as a mentor type role
71 |70 |00:07:25 ~-~-> 00:07:31 |model. I know that what you watched me do in the telegram channel, and then
72 |71 |00:07:31 ~-~-> 00:07:38 |what you watched me call for Thursday's trading at 1010, Thursday morning, and
73 |72 |00:07:38 ~-~-> 00:07:45 |then watched it deliver like gangbusters. Um, uh, that causes
74 |73 |00:07:45 ~-~-> 00:07:51 |obviously mixed feelings. For those of you that like see me do those high order
75 |74 |00:07:52 ~-~-> 00:07:56 |executions and such, it's it's inspiring and it's encouraging. It's entertaining.
76 |75 |00:07:57 ~-~-> 00:08:02 |But for those that you simply want me to teach everything that I know it
77 |76 |00:08:02 ~-~-> 00:08:09 |frustrates you. So just know that between that, or let's say it this way,
78 |77 |00:08:09 ~-~-> 00:08:15 |with that excluded, you know, the week would have been challenging for a ICT
79 |78 |00:08:15 ~-~-> 00:08:20 |student that had just recently started. So if you felt that that difficulty,
80 |79 |00:08:21 ~-~-> 00:08:26 |then that's normal. It's okay. That's exactly how you should have felt,
81 |80 |00:08:26 ~-~-> 00:08:33 |because it was a very challenging week, not impossible, obviously, but certainly
82 |81 |00:08:34 ~-~-> 00:08:39 |much more challenging than other weeks. There was a lot of volatility in it, and
83 |82 |00:08:40 ~-~-> 00:08:43 |it forced the idea of trading inside the range. And that's kind of like the
84 |83 |00:08:43 ~-~-> 00:08:50 |premise of this shotgun Saturday dropping down into an hourly chart.
85 |84 |00:08:52 ~-~-> 00:08:57 |Okay, here is that midpoint level that we showed on the daily chart of
86 |85 |00:08:57 ~-~-> 00:09:02 |equilibrium of the previous Fridays, down closed candle daily range. You see
87 |86 |00:09:02 ~-~-> 00:09:07 |how we slammed up into it here, and then we broke down in the afternoon over
88 |87 |00:09:07 ~-~-> 00:09:16 |here. That's that separation from previous Fridays, close to this present
89 |88 |00:09:16 ~-~-> 00:09:22 |week that we're in, where we open up on Monday and start trading there. So that
90 |89 |00:09:22 ~-~-> 00:09:31 |is your your gap, okay? Or new week opening gap. Zooming in here on a 15
91 |90 |00:09:31 ~-~-> 00:09:39 |minute time frame, you see how we consolidated here, rallied up and then
92 |91 |00:09:39 ~-~-> 00:09:47 |hit that middle of the weekly extreme that we formed a high one at the
93 |92 |00:09:47 ~-~-> 00:09:54 |previous Friday's midpoint, or equilibrium. So that equilibrium cause
94 |93 |00:09:54 ~-~-> 00:09:59 |the market to turn sharply and break down and trade lower. Now there's a
95 |94 |00:09:59 ~-~-> 00:10:04 |very. Eight, obvious sell side liquidity pool resting right here. So I would not
96 |95 |00:10:04 ~-~-> 00:10:09 |be surprised if we don't gap lower on Sunday. So where we settled here on
97 |96 |00:10:09 ~-~-> 00:10:15 |Friday, we could open up significantly lower, okay, and then attack that there
98 |97 |00:10:19 ~-~-> 00:10:26 |last up close candle on here is your bearish order block. Now I'm going to
99 |98 |00:10:26 ~-~-> 00:10:28 |toss this in here. No extra charge.
100 |99 |00:10:29 ~-~-> 00:10:36 |See all these wicks here we have a wick high stops at the gap. That's the
101 |100 |00:10:36 ~-~-> 00:10:41 |separation between previous weeks, Fridays, closing price and then present
102 |101 |00:10:41 ~-~-> 00:10:46 |weeks, Monday's opening price. So that's what's being highlighted here, but it
103 |102 |00:10:46 ~-~-> 00:10:49 |hits the high of that and then trades through it, creates a wick, comes right
104 |103 |00:10:49 ~-~-> 00:10:54 |back down, closes on the high of that gap. We open, rally up, create a little
105 |104 |00:10:54 ~-~-> 00:10:59 |bit of a wick, and close here, and we open here, then hit that equilibrium
106 |105 |00:10:59 ~-~-> 00:11:05 |price point of previous Fridays down closed candle. Now I already know some
107 |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
108 |107 |00:11:10 ~-~-> 00:11:15 |some individuals attention this year so far, and that's good, because I'm trying
109 |108 |00:11:15 ~-~-> 00:11:20 |to do this in a manner where all I'm doing is focusing on the content and
110 |109 |00:11:20 ~-~-> 00:11:24 |focusing on the setups and focusing on showcasing what it is I'm doing with the
111 |110 |00:11:24 ~-~-> 00:11:31 |information that I already taught. But when the price hit that bearish order
112 |111 |00:11:31 ~-~-> 00:11:36 |block there, I knew that it was likely to trade to at least this point here and
113 |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
114 |113 |00:11:47 ~-~-> 00:11:52 |was talking to another YouTuber. And let me just toss this in here, because this
115 |114 |00:11:52 ~-~-> 00:12:00 |is a shock on Saturday, so I can, I can afford the deviations from topic. And if
116 |115 |00:12:00 ~-~-> 00:12:06 |that bothers you, I promise that if you listen, it's helpful. But in the past,
117 |116 |00:12:06 ~-~-> 00:12:12 |I've I've reached out to other YouTubers and other educators and whatnot, and
118 |117 |00:12:12 ~-~-> 00:12:22 |unfortunately, my ICT persona was very divisive, and a lot of them that did not
119 |118 |00:12:22 ~-~-> 00:12:27 |find any affinity in that persona. Weren't willing to have a civil
120 |119 |00:12:27 ~-~-> 00:12:31 |conversation, or they just wanted to go into all kinds of a gotcha type thing.
121 |120 |00:12:31 ~-~-> 00:12:38 |Okay, you know, I share a trade idea, or I share analysis, and then I execution.
122 |121 |00:12:39 ~-~-> 00:12:43 |And the person might look at and say, Well, you know, did you add those after
123 |122 |00:12:43 ~-~-> 00:12:49 |the fact? And when that happens, that that's extremely offensive, especially
124 |123 |00:12:49 ~-~-> 00:12:53 |when I'm trying to just simply be civil with another person in the in the
125 |124 |00:12:53 ~-~-> 00:12:57 |communities as an educator, or they're out there trying to be a social media
126 |125 |00:12:57 ~-~-> 00:13:02 |influencer or some kind of public figure. As soon as that type of stuff
127 |126 |00:13:02 ~-~-> 00:13:07 |comes up, and these are private conversations, then I ended, I have no
128 |127 |00:13:07 ~-~-> 00:13:13 |interest in having any in dialog with someone like that. So it shows an
129 |128 |00:13:13 ~-~-> 00:13:19 |insecurity, too. And it's unfortunate because when I wasn't wearing the mask
130 |129 |00:13:19 ~-~-> 00:13:24 |of ICT and trying to talk to other people, they can't get past it. They
131 |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.
132 |131 |00:13:30 ~-~-> 00:13:38 |And one of the other YouTubers that I like, openly, I told you all in the past
133 |132 |00:13:38 ~-~-> 00:13:45 |is Matt Miller. You know him on YouTube as trades by Matt, so I was pestering
134 |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
135 |134 |00:13:52 ~-~-> 00:13:59 |have both shared our phone numbers with one another, but just drop into this gap
136 |135 |00:13:59 ~-~-> 00:14:02 |here and I'll show you some more information, but I'll come back to Matt
137 |136 |00:14:02 ~-~-> 00:14:09 |in a moment. Separations in here are gradients, gradients of that gap between
138 |137 |00:14:09 ~-~-> 00:14:14 |Monday's opening price and Friday's closing price. So this is the high of
139 |138 |00:14:14 ~-~-> 00:14:20 |it. This is the upper quadrant, lower, I'm sorry, midpoint or consequent
140 |139 |00:14:20 ~-~-> 00:14:26 |encroachment. And here is the lower quadrant and the low, okay, and when it
141 |140 |00:14:26 ~-~-> 00:14:32 |was up here at the bearish order block, to teach a very easy low, hanging fruit
142 |141 |00:14:32 ~-~-> 00:14:37 |objective and trading inside the range, not requiring it to go very far, but
143 |142 |00:14:37 ~-~-> 00:14:43 |still be able to find a high probability setup that to reach for when you have
144 |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
145 |144 |00:14:49 ~-~-> 00:14:52 |would it be high probability for it to trade lower? Well, the fact that we're
146 |145 |00:14:52 ~-~-> 00:15:00 |on Friday, and I like to always look for 20 to 30% retracement, and we. Basically
147 |146 |00:15:00 ~-~-> 00:15:06 |filled in that gap between Friday previous week to present weeks Monday,
148 |147 |00:15:06 ~-~-> 00:15:09 |so opening price. So we had that, we went outside a little bit, and we traded
149 |148 |00:15:09 ~-~-> 00:15:16 |up into the equilibrium of the previous Friday's daily candlestick. And then it
150 |149 |00:15:16 ~-~-> 00:15:21 |breaks down. And then we have the last up close candle here. I like this as the
151 |150 |00:15:21 ~-~-> 00:15:25 |last up close candle, being defined as the bearish order block. You thought I
152 |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
153 |152 |00:15:29 ~-~-> 00:15:35 |same range, and that last up close candle, it is the change in the state of
154 |153 |00:15:35 ~-~-> 00:15:41 |delivery that opening price, right there. Okay, so there are people out
155 |154 |00:15:41 ~-~-> 00:15:47 |there that are falsely claiming that I'm borrowing logic from someone that just
156 |155 |00:15:47 ~-~-> 00:15:52 |recently learned how to read price action through my content and without
157 |156 |00:15:52 ~-~-> 00:15:58 |stirring the pot. Even more than others like to do, I'm just going to count you
158 |157 |00:15:58 ~-~-> 00:16:03 |to go back and listen to what I'm outlining live in Telegram, and then
159 |158 |00:16:03 ~-~-> 00:16:08 |what I outlined on Thursday. Okay, because that that's going to basically
160 |159 |00:16:08 ~-~-> 00:16:15 |separate the the individuals that want to have a identity given to them without
161 |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
162 |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
163 |162 |00:16:28 ~-~-> 00:16:33 |simply saying that I'm not borrowing anybody else's logic. Okay, but the
164 |163 |00:16:34 ~-~-> 00:16:38 |reason why I brought Matt up, and I'm name dropping because I'm not doing
165 |164 |00:16:38 ~-~-> 00:16:42 |mentorship anymore. I cut all of the teachings off with my private mentorship
166 |165 |00:16:42 ~-~-> 00:16:48 |group. Admittedly, he and I talked prior to that, but I asked him not to say
167 |166 |00:16:48 ~-~-> 00:16:54 |anything, and that was just because that's my personal time and I didn't
168 |167 |00:16:54 ~-~-> 00:16:58 |want anybody's feelings to get hurt. But now, because I'm not operating the
169 |168 |00:16:58 ~-~-> 00:17:03 |mentorship at all, I'm free to disclose whatever I want, whatever I want to do.
170 |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
171 |170 |00:17:08 ~-~-> 00:17:11 |the facts because I shared this with someone that's in the trading community.
172 |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
173 |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
174 |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
175 |174 |00:17:33 ~-~-> 00:17:38 |text once in a while, and I just so happened to say, Okay, well, it's
176 |175 |00:17:38 ~-~-> 00:17:44 |afternoon. I'm just gonna toss him an idea to just watch. Okay, so I'm not
177 |176 |00:17:44 ~-~-> 00:17:48 |claiming he's my student. I'm not trying to do anything to make you know drama.
178 |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
179 |178 |00:17:52 ~-~-> 00:17:56 |text message to someone else. Because there's so many of you that like to
180 |179 |00:17:56 ~-~-> 00:18:01 |believe that these are all hindsight, cherry picked and demo and they're just
181 |180 |00:18:02 ~-~-> 00:18:08 |ate up with, you know, hatefulness. And I understand, I get it, but just know
182 |181 |00:18:08 ~-~-> 00:18:13 |that, you know, I have receipts. So just relax. So if we drop down into a five
183 |182 |00:18:13 ~-~-> 00:18:19 |minute chart, you can see how price slams up into that last up close candle
184 |183 |00:18:19 ~-~-> 00:18:23 |on the 15 minute time frame. So I already know some of you are looking at
185 |184 |00:18:23 ~-~-> 00:18:26 |this and saying, Well, how do you how do you know when to look at this
186 |185 |00:18:26 ~-~-> 00:18:30 |candlestick and what's, what's this time frames importance right now is the price
187 |186 |00:18:30 ~-~-> 00:18:35 |delivery continuum, meaning that you go from a top down approach to lower time
188 |187 |00:18:35 ~-~-> 00:18:40 |frame, and you're constantly cycling through you're always looking for points
189 |188 |00:18:40 ~-~-> 00:18:45 |of reference that's going to meet the expectations that your trade idea or
190 |189 |00:18:45 ~-~-> 00:18:50 |your bias or draw on liquidity is going to introduce the idea to. And here I'm
191 |190 |00:18:50 ~-~-> 00:18:56 |interested in going short. So when price was hanging around here, I said to
192 |191 |00:18:56 ~-~-> 00:19:02 |myself, it's likely to go lower. And because you watch me do something that's
193 |192 |00:19:02 ~-~-> 00:19:08 |extraordinary. And I don't mean that be bragging. I'm not bragging, but I think
194 |193 |00:19:08 ~-~-> 00:19:13 |anyone that watched what I was doing on Thursday in the telegram channel, and
195 |194 |00:19:13 ~-~-> 00:19:19 |then the comment and analysis idea that I suggested for the afternoon that day
196 |195 |00:19:20 ~-~-> 00:19:24 |at 1010, that means 10 o'clock in the morning, 10 minutes after 10 Eastern
197 |196 |00:19:24 ~-~-> 00:19:30 |time, I closed in the telegram channel with what I was going to anticipate
198 |197 |00:19:30 ~-~-> 00:19:36 |seeing in the afternoon. And then it delivered. And then, obviously, I
199 |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
200 |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
201 |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
202 |201 |00:19:54 ~-~-> 00:19:58 |show you in a moment. Just give me a minute. But I wanted to teach something
203 |202 |00:19:58 ~-~-> 00:20:02 |that was more in line with what. I want to showcase this year because I had
204 |203 |00:20:02 ~-~-> 00:20:09 |someone comment on something I said in my private mentorship before I closed it
205 |204 |00:20:09 ~-~-> 00:20:09 |down,
206 |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
207 |206 |00:20:18 ~-~-> 00:20:22 |share a trade execution, invariably, I'll have a dozen people say I took the
208 |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
209 |208 |00:20:27 ~-~-> 00:20:30 |same trade that I did on Thursday. There's absolutely no way you did that.
210 |209 |00:20:31 ~-~-> 00:20:35 |And I know this is true because you don't know what I used to. Get into
211 |210 |00:20:35 ~-~-> 00:20:39 |those ideas. You can see it in hindsight, but you don't know what I
212 |211 |00:20:39 ~-~-> 00:20:45 |did. One of the things that I used as a litmus test for people that like to
213 |212 |00:20:46 ~-~-> 00:20:49 |pretend they had already known all the things that I've been revealing to the
214 |213 |00:20:49 ~-~-> 00:20:55 |community over the years about algorithmic price delivery, they they
215 |214 |00:20:55 ~-~-> 00:20:59 |have obviously adopted what I have taught. They use my vocabulary, my
216 |215 |00:20:59 ~-~-> 00:21:04 |vernacular, everything you can tell who's treated or learned from me. Okay?
217 |216 |00:21:05 ~-~-> 00:21:10 |And there's this new wave that folks are trying to create, you know, some kind of
218 |217 |00:21:10 ~-~-> 00:21:15 |a side quest, some kind of a, you know, different storyline that makes them
219 |218 |00:21:15 ~-~-> 00:21:20 |sound like they're, you know, unique, but they're really just borrowing my
220 |219 |00:21:20 ~-~-> 00:21:23 |logic. And there's nothing wrong with borrowing my logic. That's why I taught
221 |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
222 |221 |00:21:28 ~-~-> 00:21:31 |is, is, you know these guys that go out there and say that they have known about
223 |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
224 |223 |00:21:35 ~-~-> 00:21:41 |obviously stupid, you know? But I have always said that if you understand the
225 |224 |00:21:41 ~-~-> 00:21:46 |algorithm, then you'll know what an imp 24 is. And obviously no one was able to
226 |225 |00:21:46 ~-~-> 00:21:50 |come forward with it, but people that have studied my stuff in it creating
227 |226 |00:21:50 ~-~-> 00:21:56 |their little mentorships such, and they would lie and say that an imp 24 is
228 |227 |00:21:56 ~-~-> 00:21:59 |something in the chart. They would say, Oh, it's a small little dealing range,
229 |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
230 |229 |00:22:04 ~-~-> 00:22:13 |lie. An imp 24 is the daily range narrative. What is going to make that
231 |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
232 |231 |00:22:18 ~-~-> 00:22:21 |manipulation, I don't know what it's going to do until I get the information.
233 |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
234 |233 |00:22:26 ~-~-> 00:22:32 |what I'm looking for. I'm looking for the afternoon to trade up and trade into
235 |234 |00:22:32 ~-~-> 00:22:38 |the levels I gave you. And then you watched me execute on it. I did that
236 |235 |00:22:38 ~-~-> 00:22:47 |trade, and I basically demolished it, like I simply demolished it. And I'm
237 |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
238 |237 |00:22:52 ~-~-> 00:22:56 |lot now, because I'm not doing anything, even with my private mentorship group,
239 |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
240 |239 |00:23:00 ~-~-> 00:23:04 |provide content to people that are without class, that are constantly
241 |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
242 |241 |00:23:09 ~-~-> 00:23:12 |frankly, I'm burnt out with all the complaining that they think they own me,
243 |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
244 |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
245 |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
246 |245 |00:23:29 ~-~-> 00:23:33 |that I have something that's unique. No one else is qualified to teach what I'm
247 |246 |00:23:33 ~-~-> 00:23:37 |doing. So I have a lot of students that are now teaching because they learned a
248 |247 |00:23:37 ~-~-> 00:23:41 |model that they like, and they've made lots of money, I'm selling for millions
249 |248 |00:23:41 ~-~-> 00:23:45 |of dollars, and now they're doing their own little thing. I'm not standing in
250 |249 |00:23:45 ~-~-> 00:23:51 |their way, but I can't be in any way of attachment, because if they do something
251 |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
252 |251 |00:23:57 ~-~-> 00:24:00 |sign. When you start teaching, because you've learned from me, and you start
253 |252 |00:24:00 ~-~-> 00:24:05 |running mentorships, and you start charging people money. I cut you off. I
254 |253 |00:24:05 ~-~-> 00:24:09 |don't have any interaction with you anymore. The reason why is because now
255 |254 |00:24:09 ~-~-> 00:24:17 |you've entered a realm that if you do something that's causing someone harm, I
256 |255 |00:24:17 ~-~-> 00:24:21 |am not I'm not liable for anything that you're doing, simply because you learn
257 |256 |00:24:21 ~-~-> 00:24:25 |my content and learn from me that doesn't, that doesn't associate me with
258 |257 |00:24:25 ~-~-> 00:24:31 |whatever you've done to other people. So I've had lots of students do that, and
259 |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
260 |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
261 |260 |00:24:38 ~-~-> 00:24:44 |associated with another business entity that is a spin off of my own work, and
262 |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
263 |262 |00:24:49 ~-~-> 00:24:56 |me do on Thursday, it was me using the imp 24 I know what that algorithm was
264 |263 |00:24:56 ~-~-> 00:25:00 |going to do, and you can argue, and you can say whatever you want to say. And
265 |264 |00:25:00 ~-~-> 00:25:05 |make videos and whatnot, but you watch me do it live. I called it out, and the
266 |265 |00:25:05 ~-~-> 00:25:12 |very PD arrays were used in the afternoon session. Now, is that very,
267 |266 |00:25:12 ~-~-> 00:25:18 |very good luck, or is that something that I told you I have in my repertoire
268 |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
269 |268 |00:25:22 ~-~-> 00:25:24 |comments about this, why even bring it up? If you're not going to teach it,
270 |269 |00:25:25 ~-~-> 00:25:29 |you're holding back, yes, because that is my that's my enigma. You watched me
271 |270 |00:25:29 ~-~-> 00:25:36 |use it there with manual entries. There's automated Enigma, which you
272 |271 |00:25:36 ~-~-> 00:25:42 |would never lay your hands on or eyes on, and me using the logic that my
273 |272 |00:25:42 ~-~-> 00:25:46 |algorithm would fire off on. That's what I was doing. I was executing on that,
274 |273 |00:25:46 ~-~-> 00:25:53 |and that literally smokes everything out there you see me doing over and over and
275 |274 |00:25:53 ~-~-> 00:25:59 |over again stop loss placement, just to mock price action. I'm I'm daring it,
276 |275 |00:26:00 ~-~-> 00:26:04 |and I know, as long as there's a manual intervention that's kept at bay, it
277 |276 |00:26:04 ~-~-> 00:26:09 |means they're not, you know, in there, moving things around in extremes, I
278 |277 |00:26:09 ~-~-> 00:26:13 |understand what the algorithm is going to do, and you'll never find another
279 |278 |00:26:13 ~-~-> 00:26:18 |person being able to do that. And again, I'm saying that factually, I'm saying
280 |279 |00:26:18 ~-~-> 00:26:24 |that with a great deal of consideration to the ears that are listening to me,
281 |280 |00:26:24 ~-~-> 00:26:31 |because you all know me as inner circle trader, and I made my image around being
282 |281 |00:26:31 ~-~-> 00:26:35 |braggadocious and in your face. I'm not trying to do that here. I'm just saying,
283 |282 |00:26:36 ~-~-> 00:26:42 |Look at what I've done. Just look at what I've called for in advance, one
284 |283 |00:26:42 ~-~-> 00:26:46 |minute candlesticks at a time, and then I told you exactly what was going to be
285 |284 |00:26:46 ~-~-> 00:26:50 |used for the afternoon session. Nobody else was doing that. No one was able to
286 |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
287 |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
288 |287 |00:26:58 ~-~-> 00:27:03 |call the daily range formation. That means that's the actual daily range, how
289 |288 |00:27:03 ~-~-> 00:27:08 |it's formed. Okay? That is not borrowed logic. The people that sit on social
290 |289 |00:27:08 ~-~-> 00:27:13 |media and say those types of things, they wish they understood this, they're
291 |290 |00:27:13 ~-~-> 00:27:16 |the ones that are in there making software accounts begging me to teach
292 |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
293 |292 |00:27:25 ~-~-> 00:27:30 |had to share that because I had very sincere requests for it, because that
294 |293 |00:27:30 ~-~-> 00:27:36 |part of that, I guess, information I was given to one of my user groups in my
295 |294 |00:27:36 ~-~-> 00:27:41 |mentorship have lots of leakers in one particular group, and I've whittled them
296 |295 |00:27:41 ~-~-> 00:27:48 |down into a couple 1000 members, and I just got, I just lost interest in it.
297 |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
298 |297 |00:27:51 ~-~-> 00:27:55 |for free, and all of those videos we're going to be up on my YouTube channel.
299 |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
300 |299 |00:28:00 ~-~-> 00:28:07 |know, each week of commentaries, but you'll see that I I'm literally not
301 |300 |00:28:07 ~-~-> 00:28:12 |interested in doing any kind of charging of money. And if you pay for this
302 |301 |00:28:12 ~-~-> 00:28:16 |information after this, like you're you're really being foolish, because I'm
303 |302 |00:28:16 ~-~-> 00:28:24 |giving it away. I'm literally giving it away. So when individuals take this
304 |303 |00:28:24 ~-~-> 00:28:30 |information and the things that I revealed as an imp 24 until you saw
305 |304 |00:28:30 ~-~-> 00:28:34 |Thursday, you might have been on the fence about, well, you know this guy, he
306 |305 |00:28:34 ~-~-> 00:28:40 |talks a lot of stuff and sounds, you know, conspiratorial. It sounds insane.
307 |306 |00:28:40 ~-~-> 00:28:45 |It's a Sky's the lunatic, right? Show me someone else that could do what you
308 |307 |00:28:45 ~-~-> 00:28:48 |watched me do on Thursday, and I gave you what it was going to do at 10
309 |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
310 |309 |00:28:53 ~-~-> 00:28:57 |be able to find another person doing that. Okay? And if they can, they were
311 |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
312 |311 |00:29:01 ~-~-> 00:29:07 |it. So that's what's that's what's different about me. Okay, so now the
313 |312 |00:29:07 ~-~-> 00:29:12 |draw the line. Why am I even talking about it? The idea of having that type
314 |313 |00:29:13 ~-~-> 00:29:18 |of control over what you're doing as a trader, knowing with a great deal of
315 |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
316 |315 |00:29:22 ~-~-> 00:29:25 |was going to use in the afternoon beforehand, you probably would have said
317 |316 |00:29:25 ~-~-> 00:29:29 |it was cherry picked, right? I did that. So that way, the folks that are on the
318 |317 |00:29:29 ~-~-> 00:29:34 |fence about there's an algorithm or there isn't an algorithm, that's a real
319 |318 |00:29:34 ~-~-> 00:29:38 |big pill to swallow. Now, isn't it, nobody's talking about that, but they're
320 |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
321 |320 |00:29:42 ~-~-> 00:29:45 |have receipts for it, okay? And
322 |321 |00:29:46 ~-~-> 00:29:50 |I never, I never promised I was going to teach my enigma. Okay, that's my
323 |322 |00:29:50 ~-~-> 00:29:55 |personal algorithm, but that's what you witnessed on Thursday. That was me just
324 |323 |00:29:55 ~-~-> 00:30:00 |pulling back the veil and Sean to you what I am focusing on in 2020, Five is
325 |324 |00:30:00 ~-~-> 00:30:03 |simply looking at low hanging fruit objectives. So what I did was I told
326 |325 |00:30:03 ~-~-> 00:30:07 |Matt Miller, with who was traded by Matt on YouTube, that I felt the market was
327 |326 |00:30:07 ~-~-> 00:30:14 |going to go lower. And ultimately, the new day opening gap for Friday was also
328 |327 |00:30:14 ~-~-> 00:30:19 |a draw. So there's a lot of things that were factors for likely to see the
329 |328 |00:30:19 ~-~-> 00:30:23 |market go lower in the afternoon on Friday. So as the market traded back up
330 |329 |00:30:23 ~-~-> 00:30:30 |into that bearish order block, I knew that the first presented fair value gap
331 |330 |00:30:30 ~-~-> 00:30:35 |here was a likely draw as well. So everything was in a premium. They've
332 |331 |00:30:35 ~-~-> 00:30:41 |done enough to take out all of the new trailed stop losses. Anyone that was
333 |332 |00:30:41 ~-~-> 00:30:45 |short now they can go in and start working back towards the discount in the
334 |333 |00:30:45 ~-~-> 00:30:49 |range. Okay? And first percentage of fair value gap. If you extend that over
335 |334 |00:30:49 ~-~-> 00:30:53 |into the afternoon, it becomes an inversion fair value gap there. So it's
336 |335 |00:30:53 ~-~-> 00:31:00 |changing its characteristic from bullish to bearish. So what's an easy, low
337 |336 |00:31:00 ~-~-> 00:31:06 |hanging fruit objective that can be utilized to as a draw on liquidity, and
338 |337 |00:31:06 ~-~-> 00:31:10 |also very easy target, and not even trade back to first presenter, fair
339 |338 |00:31:10 ~-~-> 00:31:15 |value gap or trade down into the sell side liquidity over here at 21,007 50,
340 |339 |00:31:16 ~-~-> 00:31:21 |or The New Day opening gap. Well, the easiest low hanging fruit objective
341 |340 |00:31:21 ~-~-> 00:31:26 |would be half of that gap that was formed from previous week's closing
342 |341 |00:31:26 ~-~-> 00:31:29 |price on Friday and the Monday opening price of this present week. That's this
343 |342 |00:31:29 ~-~-> 00:31:34 |blue shaded box. That's what I was showing you to get in the video. So
344 |343 |00:31:34 ~-~-> 00:31:39 |aiming for this midpoint is a real easy objective. So I was telling Matt, and in
345 |344 |00:31:39 ~-~-> 00:31:43 |text that he was busy working on his Arnold Palmer out there on the greens,
346 |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
347 |346 |00:31:47 ~-~-> 00:31:50 |golf. I don't understand why people are interested in that. It's terrible for
348 |347 |00:31:50 ~-~-> 00:31:55 |your back. It's not even athletic. And to me, it's just, it's extremely boring.
349 |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
350 |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
351 |350 |00:32:09 ~-~-> 00:32:13 |went short, and I'll show you the execution here. So there's a entry
352 |351 |00:32:13 ~-~-> 00:32:16 |points, and you submit. See that little, small, little gap right there with the
353 |352 |00:32:16 ~-~-> 00:32:20 |volume of balance as price went up into it there. That's where I added again. So
354 |353 |00:32:20 ~-~-> 00:32:27 |I went short seven contracts, added three more contracts for a short of 10.
355 |354 |00:32:27 ~-~-> 00:32:33 |And you can see the executions there, and as it hit the level here, a couple
356 |355 |00:32:34 ~-~-> 00:32:41 |handles above, just for the sake of the spread, there you go. Okay, so again,
357 |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
358 |357 |00:32:46 ~-~-> 00:32:51 |accounts? Why don't I get 20 accounts with apex? Why don't I get 20 accounts
359 |358 |00:32:51 ~-~-> 00:32:55 |with this extra guy company over here? First of all, I don't know these people.
360 |359 |00:32:56 ~-~-> 00:32:59 |They're not regulated, and I would never give them my personal identification and
361 |360 |00:32:59 ~-~-> 00:33:02 |Social Security and all these things. Is to make sure I can get the money out of
362 |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
363 |362 |00:33:07 ~-~-> 00:33:10 |would have made over a million dollars just this week. You think they're going
364 |363 |00:33:10 ~-~-> 00:33:14 |to pay that out consistently, or they're going to let me stay around and do that?
365 |364 |00:33:14 ~-~-> 00:33:19 |No, they're not going to do that. So to save myself trouble, I'm not worrying
366 |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
367 |366 |00:33:22 ~-~-> 00:33:24 |million dollars. I don't million dollars. I don't need to use paper
368 |367 |00:33:24 ~-~-> 00:33:30 |trading or demo accounts and then hope that these guys honor it and pay out. So
369 |368 |00:33:30 ~-~-> 00:33:35 |I'm not interested in that. So whatever you see me doing all these like the
370 |369 |00:33:35 ~-~-> 00:33:42 |trade I did on on Thursday, that would have been it, in one trade. Boom, it's
371 |370 |00:33:42 ~-~-> 00:33:48 |done. I could have added more to it if it was with 20 accounts, and then I
372 |371 |00:33:48 ~-~-> 00:33:53 |would have been the highest paid out prop firm trader, not my student. That's
373 |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
374 |373 |00:33:58 ~-~-> 00:34:02 |chart here, you can see the change in its characteristic over here with the
375 |374 |00:34:02 ~-~-> 00:34:05 |first presenter for your bag gap, the sell side liquidity. Actually, I told
376 |375 |00:34:05 ~-~-> 00:34:10 |trades on that too. Also, 21,007 50 is possible, but I had to run out. I
377 |376 |00:34:10 ~-~-> 00:34:13 |couldn't stay with the charge to do anything, which was the reason why I did
378 |377 |00:34:13 ~-~-> 00:34:16 |that. Half of that range, but then it hit. And then, of course, I did my
379 |378 |00:34:16 ~-~-> 00:34:22 |typical, you know, I like to be facetious with him, because it's like a
380 |379 |00:34:22 ~-~-> 00:34:26 |running joke, and he knows what I'm talking about. But long story short, it
381 |380 |00:34:26 ~-~-> 00:34:30 |trades down into the new day, opening gap for Friday, and even goes lower than
382 |381 |00:34:30 ~-~-> 00:34:30 |that.
383 |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,
384 |383 |00:34:39 ~-~-> 00:34:44 |but I want to use this moment in the recording, because it's getting a little
385 |384 |00:34:44 ~-~-> 00:34:47 |bit longer than I want, and I'm tired, to be honest with you, so you probably
386 |385 |00:34:47 ~-~-> 00:34:53 |hear my voice. I'm tired reflections and resolve meaning that you looked at last
387 |386 |00:34:53 ~-~-> 00:34:56 |week. It was a little bit of a challenging week, okay? And I say that
388 |387 |00:34:56 ~-~-> 00:35:02 |not for myself. I'm saying it in retrospect. To you as a student, because
389 |388 |00:35:02 ~-~-> 00:35:06 |I'm assuming that you're a new student with my content. You may not have been
390 |389 |00:35:07 ~-~-> 00:35:10 |recently, just introduced it, maybe even using for a long time, but in my
391 |390 |00:35:10 ~-~-> 00:35:14 |opinion, I felt that this past week would have been challenging for a new
392 |391 |00:35:14 ~-~-> 00:35:20 |student using my content. Obviously, in my hands, I can make it work. And for
393 |392 |00:35:20 ~-~-> 00:35:25 |people that have trained, with respect to women, on time and did the due
394 |393 |00:35:25 ~-~-> 00:35:29 |diligence of back testing, logging and really digging into finding our model
395 |394 |00:35:29 ~-~-> 00:35:33 |with it, I believe they could have found something that would have been helpful
396 |395 |00:35:33 ~-~-> 00:35:39 |to them and positive on the outcome. What resolve can we apply going in the
397 |396 |00:35:39 ~-~-> 00:35:44 |next week. Well, I'm looking for lower prices, and if it breaks down lower, I
398 |397 |00:35:44 ~-~-> 00:35:49 |think we have a really wonderful February ahead where we're going to
399 |398 |00:35:49 ~-~-> 00:35:55 |probably see a lot of large ranges, a little bit more trending type moves, and
400 |399 |00:35:55 ~-~-> 00:36:01 |that's exciting. So some of you're asking, Where's these 20 videos you
401 |400 |00:36:01 ~-~-> 00:36:04 |promised, you promised. You promised. I also am a real person. I'm not an
402 |401 |00:36:04 ~-~-> 00:36:08 |artificial intelligence. So that means I have family members, I have personal
403 |402 |00:36:08 ~-~-> 00:36:12 |things. I take care of my businesses that I run. All these things require my
404 |403 |00:36:12 ~-~-> 00:36:19 |personal time. I had my oldest son, his business, he caught fire, and I had to
405 |404 |00:36:19 ~-~-> 00:36:23 |make changes in my schedule, and I had to do a lot of different things because
406 |405 |00:36:24 ~-~-> 00:36:29 |now his finances and his wife, they're all, you know, they're nervous about
407 |406 |00:36:29 ~-~-> 00:36:34 |that, so I'm helping them. My other sons, they moved, and I had to help
408 |407 |00:36:34 ~-~-> 00:36:39 |them. I didn't feel good, you know, a couple days this past month, and my
409 |408 |00:36:39 ~-~-> 00:36:44 |father, who just recently got a prison has not done what I had hoped he would
410 |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
411 |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
412 |411 |00:36:56 ~-~-> 00:37:00 |barrier for me to have gone out and made the amount of content that I intended
413 |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.
414 |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.
415 |414 |00:37:10 ~-~-> 00:37:13 |Okay, it's kind of like a New Year's resolution. If you start off with the
416 |415 |00:37:13 ~-~-> 00:37:17 |resolutions and you don't hit every goal every day you're trying to do it, as
417 |416 |00:37:17 ~-~-> 00:37:20 |long as you keep moving in the right direction, that's the progress you're
418 |417 |00:37:20 ~-~-> 00:37:25 |looking for. So we make goals, we set, you know, agendas, but real life
419 |418 |00:37:25 ~-~-> 00:37:31 |dictates that, and I unfortunately had a lot late in my lap this past month, and
420 |419 |00:37:31 ~-~-> 00:37:34 |it prevented me to do the things I wanted to do in terms of productivity
421 |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
422 |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
423 |422 |00:37:44 ~-~-> 00:37:48 |going to take for me to get them done, but I will be actively doing it. Okay?
424 |423 |00:37:48 ~-~-> 00:37:58 |So I think that if you understand what I'm sharing on the telegram, why did I
425 |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
426 |425 |00:38:03 ~-~-> 00:38:07 |from from the other people that want to sell in market directly and pretend that
427 |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
428 |427 |00:38:13 ~-~-> 00:38:16 |me. There's no interactions by other people. I'm not interested in your
429 |428 |00:38:16 ~-~-> 00:38:21 |thumbs up emojis. I'm not interested in. Thank you so much. I'm interested. I'm
430 |429 |00:38:21 ~-~-> 00:38:26 |focusing on me, and I want to be right to the point shotgun Saturdays are going
431 |430 |00:38:26 ~-~-> 00:38:33 |to be not like that, as you can see here. This is a really tame edition of
432 |431 |00:38:33 ~-~-> 00:38:40 |shotgun Saturday, but I just talk organically there in the telegram. There
433 |432 |00:38:40 ~-~-> 00:38:46 |is no granting it's just me focusing on price action, telling you what I'm
434 |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,
435 |434 |00:38:49 ~-~-> 00:38:53 |type, trading. It's for you to focus and learn how to read the tape. That means
436 |435 |00:38:53 ~-~-> 00:38:57 |watching price delivery, reading real order flow, not the nonsense on level
437 |436 |00:38:57 ~-~-> 00:39:01 |two, not the nonsense with all these other things out there, you're watching
438 |437 |00:39:01 ~-~-> 00:39:05 |Real order flow. You're watching a call every little, tiny fluctuation and
439 |438 |00:39:05 ~-~-> 00:39:09 |change and where the rhythm changes, and delivery of price, all those things
440 |439 |00:39:09 ~-~-> 00:39:14 |you're watching that real time. There's nothing like it. It's absolutely the top
441 |440 |00:39:14 ~-~-> 00:39:20 |tier in analysis, because it's the best. It is the absolute best. And I'm welcome
442 |441 |00:39:20 ~-~-> 00:39:24 |anybody to put what they're doing against what I'm doing in that telegram
443 |442 |00:39:24 ~-~-> 00:39:28 |channel. You'll never see it. You'll never see them out class that. And I'm
444 |443 |00:39:28 ~-~-> 00:39:33 |not even doing anything extraordinary, really, yet. But I want to bring your
445 |444 |00:39:33 ~-~-> 00:39:37 |attention back to what I want to focus on this year, which is looking for very
446 |445 |00:39:37 ~-~-> 00:39:43 |systematic, low hanging fruit objectives. What's the benefit of having
447 |446 |00:39:43 ~-~-> 00:39:47 |new day opening gaps and new week opening gaps and the opening range gap
448 |447 |00:39:47 ~-~-> 00:39:51 |and having things like the first percent of everybody gap, it removes the
449 |448 |00:39:51 ~-~-> 00:39:57 |ambiguity. It's very specific things, and I'm looking for setups that create
450 |449 |00:39:57 ~-~-> 00:40:01 |runs back to those levels. So there. Like magnets that are thrown out there
451 |450 |00:40:01 ~-~-> 00:40:04 |in price action. And when I think that price action has shown a willingness to
452 |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
453 |452 |00:40:09 ~-~-> 00:40:14 |I find it very easy, one minute fair value gap that allows me to get short on
454 |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,
455 |454 |00:40:19 ~-~-> 00:40:23 |easy approach to trading price action using what I taught already on the
456 |455 |00:40:23 ~-~-> 00:40:25 |YouTube channel. I don't need to reinvent anything. I don't have to do
457 |456 |00:40:25 ~-~-> 00:40:29 |any kind of advanced lessons. I'm just simply taking what I've already taught
458 |457 |00:40:29 ~-~-> 00:40:33 |for free on this YouTube channel and putting it into the marketplace and
459 |458 |00:40:33 ~-~-> 00:40:37 |showing you how the setups are being taken by me, the trade managements, the
460 |459 |00:40:37 ~-~-> 00:40:42 |stop loss. Obviously, I'm not going to teach you how to play stop losses like
461 |460 |00:40:42 ~-~-> 00:40:47 |that. Okay, again, that's enigma. That's my algorithm. That's me understanding
462 |461 |00:40:47 ~-~-> 00:40:52 |how my algorithm handshakes with the market algorithm. And for the folks out
463 |462 |00:40:52 ~-~-> 00:40:59 |there, you know, I was going to write a fourth book, which was fiction, and it
464 |463 |00:40:59 ~-~-> 00:41:05 |was going to be basically around a fictional, you know, person, loosely
465 |464 |00:41:05 ~-~-> 00:41:09 |based on the character I created for the Internet, which is inner circle trader.
466 |465 |00:41:10 ~-~-> 00:41:13 |Obviously I know how to trade, obviously I know how to teach, and obviously I
467 |466 |00:41:13 ~-~-> 00:41:17 |made millionaire students with this content. But I was going to write this
468 |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
469 |468 |00:41:22 ~-~-> 00:41:28 |to look for something to complain about all the time. And when I, when I thought
470 |469 |00:41:28 ~-~-> 00:41:32 |about doing it, I was like, Well, let me create some kind of a buzz around it.
471 |470 |00:41:33 ~-~-> 00:41:37 |And I always would skirt the line. I would blur the line, because I would
472 |471 |00:41:37 ~-~-> 00:41:41 |always say, you know, I coded this algorithm. I codified this I'm
473 |472 |00:41:41 ~-~-> 00:41:47 |specifically talking about my algorithm, IP, the ipter Bank price delivery
474 |473 |00:41:47 ~-~-> 00:41:52 |algorithm, that is the master algorithm that all other markets use that same
475 |474 |00:41:52 ~-~-> 00:41:59 |model. That's that same algorithm. Okay, I didn't code that. I never said I coded
476 |475 |00:41:59 ~-~-> 00:42:06 |that, but I have codified and coded my enigma. My Enigma is meant to handshake
477 |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
478 |477 |00:42:10 ~-~-> 00:42:17 |this server or these servers. I can't do that. I am showing you how my
479 |478 |00:42:17 ~-~-> 00:42:20 |interpretation of what I believe that market is going to do based on my
480 |479 |00:42:20 ~-~-> 00:42:26 |understanding and how my personal algorithm, which is Enigma, dovetails
481 |480 |00:42:26 ~-~-> 00:42:32 |with that and all of these things that you're seeing people write about and lie
482 |481 |00:42:33 ~-~-> 00:42:38 |and say things, it's just a result of them just falling head over heels over
483 |482 |00:42:38 ~-~-> 00:42:44 |The caricature that I created as inner circuit trader. So it was a marketing
484 |483 |00:42:44 ~-~-> 00:42:47 |thing to get people talking. I'm a master at that. All you have to do is
485 |484 |00:42:47 ~-~-> 00:42:51 |manipulate the right kind of person, which is the trolls, and they'll sell
486 |485 |00:42:51 ~-~-> 00:42:54 |the idea of anything. And I had them working for free for a long time for me.
487 |486 |00:42:55 ~-~-> 00:42:58 |And then when people listen to them, they want to see, does this really sound
488 |487 |00:42:58 ~-~-> 00:43:01 |like something he would have said? Or is this really? Is he really doing that?
489 |488 |00:43:01 ~-~-> 00:43:05 |And then he come to the YouTube channel, and you come now to the telegram channel
490 |489 |00:43:05 ~-~-> 00:43:08 |and you watch me, where I can go right into it without having a lot of talking,
491 |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
492 |491 |00:43:12 ~-~-> 00:43:17 |of talking. That's the shotgun aspect of it. The idea is that you jumped into the
493 |492 |00:43:17 ~-~-> 00:43:20 |passenger seat of my Corvette, and we're going for a ride. We're just hanging out
494 |493 |00:43:20 ~-~-> 00:43:25 |and talking. That's the premise of shotgun Saturday. So it's a boring drive
495 |494 |00:43:25 ~-~-> 00:43:28 |if you're sitting there not talking with Ono, right? So
496 |495 |00:43:30 ~-~-> 00:43:38 |when I'm teaching, I want you to understand the specifics, but when I'm
497 |496 |00:43:38 ~-~-> 00:43:44 |focusing on showing you I don't want to talk too much, because I want your focus
498 |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
499 |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
500 |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,
501 |500 |00:43:56 ~-~-> 00:44:01 |I've always been able to do this with very little words, but I did it because
502 |501 |00:44:01 ~-~-> 00:44:05 |it was all part of the marketing aspect of inner circle trader. ICT, just like
503 |502 |00:44:05 ~-~-> 00:44:10 |Deadpool, is the Merc with the Mouth, well, ICT is the mentor with the mouth.
504 |503 |00:44:10 ~-~-> 00:44:14 |He's talkative. He's very, very talkative. I'm not very talkative in the
505 |504 |00:44:14 ~-~-> 00:44:20 |real world. I'm very introverted. So it's all a lot of pantomime to get the
506 |505 |00:44:20 ~-~-> 00:44:29 |audience members engaged enough to be held to the task of listening to me. I'm
507 |506 |00:44:29 ~-~-> 00:44:32 |making this as interesting as I possibly can, because really trading in itself is
508 |507 |00:44:32 ~-~-> 00:44:37 |boring. It's very, very boring. You're watching price go up and down, and
509 |508 |00:44:37 ~-~-> 00:44:40 |you're trying to figure out what you're going to do next, and you're worrying
510 |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
511 |510 |00:44:45 ~-~-> 00:44:51 |engaging and predominantly my male audience is who I'm targeting, I use
512 |511 |00:44:51 ~-~-> 00:44:58 |things that are action packed, controversial, conspiracy, all those
513 |512 |00:44:58 ~-~-> 00:45:04 |things you. You know, creating a mysticism around it. And that's the
514 |513 |00:45:04 ~-~-> 00:45:11 |showmanship the performer in me. It's you getting lured in with that. Most of
515 |514 |00:45:11 ~-~-> 00:45:15 |my students came to me with just morbid curiosity. They're like, you know, who
516 |515 |00:45:15 ~-~-> 00:45:20 |is this guy? He's crazy. He's bipolar. I'm not bipolar. These are all things
517 |516 |00:45:20 ~-~-> 00:45:24 |that I did to get people talking about me, and I never had to pay for
518 |517 |00:45:24 ~-~-> 00:45:29 |advertising, not one time ever. And look at the channel, look at the number of
519 |518 |00:45:29 ~-~-> 00:45:33 |people that listen to me, and how many people use my content. So it's in the
520 |519 |00:45:33 ~-~-> 00:45:37 |beginning. Like I said on baby pips, I was doing a social media experiment. I
521 |520 |00:45:37 ~-~-> 00:45:43 |wanted to see what I could cultivate from this? Could I create the same thing
522 |521 |00:45:43 ~-~-> 00:45:47 |that happened in my own development? And honestly, it's still not there. There's
523 |522 |00:45:47 ~-~-> 00:45:53 |never been another person that came like I did, and I tried very hard to create
524 |523 |00:45:53 ~-~-> 00:45:57 |that, that test tube scenario for it could, for it to happen. It didn't
525 |524 |00:45:57 ~-~-> 00:46:04 |happen. So in closing, I will be doing more lectures and teachings about the
526 |525 |00:46:04 ~-~-> 00:46:08 |very specific parts of what I'm using for my model. What you watch me do on
527 |526 |00:46:08 ~-~-> 00:46:13 |Thursday that is not going to be taught to you, absolutely not. And the reason
528 |527 |00:46:13 ~-~-> 00:46:18 |why is, obviously it's too strong, and I would never give away my whole life's
529 |528 |00:46:18 ~-~-> 00:46:25 |works, masterpiece to anyone, and it's not written down in anything. There's no
530 |529 |00:46:25 ~-~-> 00:46:29 |book where you know it's written out, where someone could literally take
531 |530 |00:46:29 ~-~-> 00:46:32 |something from me and know how to do you'll never, you'll never have that.
532 |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
533 |532 |00:46:39 ~-~-> 00:46:43 |for tonight. I just want to encourage you that you we're not trying to do
534 |533 |00:46:43 ~-~-> 00:46:48 |everything. We're just trying to find very simple setups. Price runs from one
535 |534 |00:46:48 ~-~-> 00:46:53 |logical level to the to the next based on liquidity and inefficiencies. And I
536 |535 |00:46:53 ~-~-> 00:46:57 |think that by the end of the year, you'll have a better understanding about
537 |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
538 |537 |00:47:01 ~-~-> 00:47:04 |Time, enjoy your weekend and be safe. You.
