ICT YT - 2025-05-07 - 2025 Lecture Series - ICT Gauntlet and NQ AM Session Review 05-07-2025

Last modified by Drunk Monkey on 2025-05-08 09:23
1 00:00:35 --> 00:00:43 ICT: My books, good morning, the review On Monday and Tuesday this week. Here's
2 00:00:43 --> 00:00:50 the NASDAQ daily chart for June delivery. And I mentioned that we were
3 00:00:50 --> 00:00:57 to be following the levels in this Thursday's premium wick. So it's high
4 00:00:57 --> 00:01:03 upper quadrant, me encroachment level, lower quadrant and the open of the
5 00:01:03 --> 00:01:08 candlestick, which is the full range of five levels that make up that wick. And
6 00:01:08 --> 00:01:14 we were to carry them forward in the future. And this adds some lipstick on
7 00:01:14 --> 00:01:19 here, and zoom in a little bit. So here's those levels, and here is the
8 00:01:19 --> 00:01:24 plasma balance cell sign efficiency. We saw a price drop down into on Tuesday,
9 00:01:25 --> 00:01:33 Monday's trading, Non Non Farm Payroll Friday. And this is the draw I think
10 00:01:33 --> 00:01:43 we're looking at, until proven otherwise, and how, how will that? I um,
11 00:01:43 --> 00:01:49 negated. We would have to trade below on a closing basis, below this bullish fair
12 00:01:49 --> 00:01:54 value gap that's in yellow. So take a moment to look at the levels here. See
13 00:01:54 --> 00:02:03 the prices, and then this yellow line is that gap here, and we'll work towards
14 00:02:03 --> 00:02:07 going into lower time frames now, so here's a one minute chart, and right
15 00:02:07 --> 00:02:14 away you should already recognize what this is. This is a market maker sell
16 00:02:14 --> 00:02:20 model. So relative equal lows down in here arbitrates higher, higher, higher,
17 00:02:20 --> 00:02:28 higher, and breaks aggressively lower. Shift in market structure here trades up
18 00:02:28 --> 00:02:32 distribution second stage redistribution, which is going to be the
19 00:02:32 --> 00:02:41 most powerful leg of the move, and drops lower. Now also notice that second stage
20 00:02:41 --> 00:02:49 redistribution of the market maker, sell model, not Wyckoff, the high of
21 00:02:49 --> 00:02:54 Thursday's WIC, on the daily chart. And that's this blue line here. This is the
22 00:02:54 --> 00:02:58 upper quadrant, and this is the constant encroachment of that Thursday daily
23 00:02:58 --> 00:03:04 premium. WIC, we're going to zoom in here and show you the details on this
24 00:03:04 --> 00:03:09 price slide down in to first present the fair value gap on Monday. So here's
25 00:03:10 --> 00:03:17 second stage, redistribution and shorting, shorting, shorting. I actually
26 00:03:17 --> 00:03:25 have this on video on x, so you can look at that and watch the executions and all
27 00:03:25 --> 00:03:33 the pertinence there, and then later on, I'll show you this here as well. So
28 00:03:33 --> 00:03:38 these are recorded. You can see them on my x account and the executions and
29 00:03:38 --> 00:03:44 whatnot, tuning down into and through the first presented fair value gap and
30 00:03:44 --> 00:03:48 allowing for what the market maker, sell model relative equal low sell side
31 00:03:48 --> 00:03:55 liquidity. Race uses the Monday first presented fair value gap of the week,
32 00:03:56 --> 00:04:01 which high rates around in there again, for navigation, this is Thursday's WIC
33 00:04:01 --> 00:04:08 high Thursday's WIC upper quadrant and half of the wick that red line here,
34 00:04:08 --> 00:04:14 they will stay constant in the slides. All right. And then moving on into
35 00:04:14 --> 00:04:20 Tuesday's trading. Here, I wasn't able to spend any quality time in front of
36 00:04:20 --> 00:04:26 the charts during the morning session, as I mentioned on X that my family time
37 00:04:26 --> 00:04:32 was requested of me. So it is what it is. But I tried to squeeze something in
38 00:04:33 --> 00:04:38 right away using the logic that I gave on my x space, which unfortunately did
39 00:04:38 --> 00:04:44 not broadcast cleanly. It was it was all broken up and whatnot. I didn't go back
40 00:04:44 --> 00:04:47 and listen to it. I had a lot of feedback from many of you that said that
41 00:04:47 --> 00:04:51 they couldn't really hear it. So I will be making another presentation that's
42 00:04:51 --> 00:04:56 going to be, hopefully a lot more cleaner and direct to a point. But it
43 00:04:56 --> 00:05:00 was basically talking about how to work with the narrative. Yes, okay,
44 00:05:00 --> 00:05:03 understanding the difference between narrative and bias, and without making a
45 00:05:03 --> 00:05:07 very long video here, just know that I am going to work on that before we get
46 00:05:07 --> 00:05:10 to Friday's close, what day and what time? You know, I don't know what time
47 00:05:10 --> 00:05:15 I'm going to put it up. I'm still working up things with my life. For
48 00:05:18 --> 00:05:25 those that have faith like I do, I'll just interject this real quick, my
49 00:05:25 --> 00:05:30 wife's actually going through a bout of depression. It's been a year since her
50 00:05:30 --> 00:05:37 mother passed away, and she's having a hard time with that. So I can't promise
51 00:05:37 --> 00:05:42 that my time is going to be as punctual and on a day by day basis, so just know
52 00:05:42 --> 00:05:47 that that's that's where my time is being spent. Okay, now that I'm
53 00:05:47 --> 00:05:52 obligated to give you that insight, I'm asking for pity. I am asking for prayer
54 00:05:52 --> 00:05:56 for her to find some comfort. She understands that she's gone on the way
55 00:05:56 --> 00:06:03 to be with the Lord, but she just misses her I guess, you know. But with that, I
56 00:06:03 --> 00:06:07 had very little time to navigate and whatnot, but keeping with what I said on
57 00:06:07 --> 00:06:13 the x space that you could hear, and then I went on to kit's space to kind of
58 00:06:13 --> 00:06:18 like fill in the gaps of what it is I said, and hopefully got across in the
59 00:06:18 --> 00:06:25 presentation that was muddled in mine. There's pools of liquidity. And the one
60 00:06:25 --> 00:06:30 you always look for every single day is the range between seven o'clock in the
61 00:06:30 --> 00:06:35 morning Eastern Time, which is we see here. There's the high and then all of
62 00:06:35 --> 00:06:43 these short term highs, they're all potential raids on liquidity. Doesn't
63 00:06:43 --> 00:06:47 matter if the market's going to go higher or lower on the day, it's likely
64 00:06:47 --> 00:06:53 to draw to them. Okay, so the daily bullish fair value gap. Remember, I had
65 00:06:53 --> 00:06:57 it in yellow on the daily chart. This is what we're seeing. It drop down in here.
66 00:06:58 --> 00:07:02 I noticed because it could draw up to here. But I wasn't going to be able to
67 00:07:02 --> 00:07:06 be in front of the charts that long. I noticed that we dropped down below
68 00:07:07 --> 00:07:12 relative equal lows here, and we had another short term low here, and we did
69 00:07:12 --> 00:07:18 that rate at 930 so we opened, traded down. Took out that liquidity, took out
70 00:07:18 --> 00:07:25 that liquidity, that liquidity in that liquidity in the scope of that time. At
71 00:07:25 --> 00:07:31 930 this candlestick here, I knew that we would likely draw up and at least
72 00:07:31 --> 00:07:35 clear these relative equal highs and then maybe take this one out, but
73 00:07:35 --> 00:07:38 ultimately trade back down here, which is a move I would not be able to
74 00:07:38 --> 00:07:44 participate in, because I'm away from the charts. So to teach, also, for the
75 00:07:44 --> 00:07:50 folks that are leaving comments on my video channel, my YouTube channels
76 00:07:50 --> 00:07:57 comment section asking, you know, well, you can't trade without these macros, or
77 00:07:57 --> 00:08:01 you're not able to trade without the new week opening up new day opening gap. So
78 00:08:01 --> 00:08:06 if you take that away, then everything falls apart. Well, I'm going to show you
79 00:08:06 --> 00:08:11 that that's not true. Okay, so the executions you're going to see here are
80 00:08:11 --> 00:08:17 not based on new week opening gap, new de opening gap, just pure liquidity and
81 00:08:17 --> 00:08:22 time of day. Okay, that's all it is. So it's not a matter of me forcing you all
82 00:08:22 --> 00:08:30 to trade you one method or one apparatus that I've presented as my concepts that
83 00:08:30 --> 00:08:35 are not generic. It's funny how these goobers have all these comments, but
84 00:08:35 --> 00:08:39 it's this precision. Okay, precision. You're going to see it. But trading
85 00:08:39 --> 00:08:48 below here, trading below here, we have the liquidity taken multiple times, and
86 00:08:48 --> 00:08:51 I'm not going to edit this video, so there's gonna be a couple things in
87 00:08:51 --> 00:08:54 here. I'm getting tired of making these videos, to be honest, just so I don't
88 00:08:54 --> 00:08:58 care about the professionalism of it. Okay? It's just gonna be whatever I say,
89 00:08:58 --> 00:09:08 and that's it. So let's take a look at this presentation of entry here, and
90 00:09:08 --> 00:09:13 running to this very easy, low hanging fruit objective, okay, I don't need it
91 00:09:13 --> 00:09:16 to go all the way back to here. I don't need to go to here. I don't need to go
92 00:09:16 --> 00:09:21 all the way back to the seven o'clock reset on the liquidity for that pre
93 00:09:21 --> 00:09:25 market session hour. So seven o'clock in the morning to 930 that 90 minute window
94 00:09:25 --> 00:09:30 we're spanning from the 930 opening bell back to seven o'clock. Where is the
95 00:09:30 --> 00:09:35 pools of liquidity? If you target those, you don't need anything else in ICT, in
96 00:09:35 --> 00:09:38 creparator, you don't need anything else. You don't need new week opening
97 00:09:38 --> 00:09:42 gaps. You don't need new de opening gaps. You don't need many any of this
98 00:09:42 --> 00:09:46 stuff, except for just knowing where price is at right now and where it's
99 00:09:46 --> 00:09:51 likely to draw to if you have an opening range gap, which in this case was a gap
100 00:09:51 --> 00:09:55 lower. So that means it's likely to do what initially, try to make an attempt
101 00:09:55 --> 00:09:59 to move up into that gap. I'm not going to show you the relative. I'm some I'm.
102 00:10:00 --> 00:10:03 Going to show you the regular trading hours to show that gap. You can do that
103 00:10:03 --> 00:10:09 on your own, but it's likely to do what at the opening bell, open here and draw
104 00:10:09 --> 00:10:14 up now. Does it need to fill the gap entirely? No. Does it need to go to the
105 00:10:14 --> 00:10:20 lower quadrant? No. Does it need to do concretion? No. But an attempt at all
106 00:10:20 --> 00:10:26 is, you know, within the realm of reasonable. So if it's going to make an
107 00:10:26 --> 00:10:30 attempt to do that, doesn't it make sense inside the scope of 930 to seven
108 00:10:30 --> 00:10:32 o'clock in the morning,
109 00:10:33 --> 00:10:38 where is the easiest low hanging fruit, first presentation of relative equal
110 00:10:38 --> 00:10:45 highs, right there. Okay, now I'm going to hover over top of both of these
111 00:10:45 --> 00:10:50 arrows so you can see the execution placement. But here's the liquidity
112 00:10:50 --> 00:10:56 after taking this larger pool of cell side there and there at the opening
113 00:10:56 --> 00:11:00 bell. So I'm watching this candle. It opens trades below these two equal lows,
114 00:11:01 --> 00:11:04 and as soon as it straights back up into this area here, I know what it's doing,
115 00:11:04 --> 00:11:11 it's going to flip over and run at the very minimum here. Now it at worst, it
116 00:11:11 --> 00:11:14 could have went just above here and it came back in and filled in, or given
117 00:11:14 --> 00:11:18 institutional order flow entry drill on any fair value gap from that low up to
118 00:11:18 --> 00:11:23 that point. But here it just ripped higher, uses it as a breaker here,
119 00:11:24 --> 00:11:28 leaves that little portion open. Breakaway gap runs up and gives me the
120 00:11:28 --> 00:11:32 run into the relative equal highs trades just above this high here, which are
121 00:11:32 --> 00:11:36 relative equal highs as well. Now, why did I pick this one and not that one?
122 00:11:36 --> 00:11:40 Because this is the first one you come to at opening bell. At 930 opening start
123 00:11:40 --> 00:11:45 looking to the left. Where's the first relative equal highs. They pop off right
124 00:11:45 --> 00:11:48 here. If you're looking at a 15 second chart, it would be here. But that's not
125 00:11:48 --> 00:11:54 enough for me to take the trade. It's not enough of a reward for the risk,
126 00:11:54 --> 00:11:56 because I could have been wrong. Could have stopped out, and you would have saw
127 00:11:56 --> 00:12:01 it. I would have showed it, but the stop goes immediately right below this by one
128 00:12:01 --> 00:12:09 tick. So buying stop here. Target here, there's a little entry caret symbol that
129 00:12:09 --> 00:12:14 shows you where my entry was on this candlestick. And now I'm going to hover
130 00:12:14 --> 00:12:19 over top of this one here, and you'll see that it shows me and exiting the
131 00:12:19 --> 00:12:24 long trade here, at that level there, it spends a little bit of time right there,
132 00:12:24 --> 00:12:30 and then folds and goes right down to that daily foolish fair value gap. It
133 00:12:30 --> 00:12:36 creates a low one more time stop anybody have to try to chase that. And then
134 00:12:36 --> 00:12:41 rallied up. Now I'm going to teach you, as I mentioned in the presentation on
135 00:12:41 --> 00:12:47 kids space, and all you gotta do is go to x okay, and there's something you're
136 00:12:47 --> 00:12:51 gonna be watching this years from now and be like, What are you talking about?
137 00:12:51 --> 00:12:54 What are you talking about? I mentioned how because I had students asking me
138 00:12:54 --> 00:12:59 direct, we had basically a couple minutes time for individuals to talk to
139 00:12:59 --> 00:13:04 me. And this is also as a reminder, this is why I don't like to do question and
140 00:13:04 --> 00:13:08 answer, because I understand a lot of you think I'm a celebrity, like you're
141 00:13:08 --> 00:13:12 like you think I'm something special. I'm not. And whenever I have an
142 00:13:12 --> 00:13:17 opportunity to speak with someone, or give that opportunity to give the
143 00:13:17 --> 00:13:23 students the time to speak with me, there's this big monolog of lavishness
144 00:13:23 --> 00:13:26 and, you know, like fluffing me up, and I understand why you're doing it, but
145 00:13:26 --> 00:13:30 it's not necessary. I mean, a simple little post to me, you know, on a
146 00:13:30 --> 00:13:35 comment in the video or post to x is sufficient enough. Like you don't, you
147 00:13:35 --> 00:13:39 don't need to go on and on and on. First of all, it's embarrassing, because I
148 00:13:39 --> 00:13:42 don't feel comfortable receiving that kind of stuff, you want to thank and
149 00:13:42 --> 00:13:47 give praise, give it to God, but it also is annoying to the other listeners,
150 00:13:47 --> 00:13:51 because they're listening to what you're asking and they want to hear what I'm
151 00:13:51 --> 00:13:55 going to respond with. So that's the meat of why we're having a conversation
152 00:13:55 --> 00:13:59 or a question to answer anyway. So that's the number one reason why I don't
153 00:13:59 --> 00:14:03 like to do those types of things, because it's a big time waster and it
154 00:14:03 --> 00:14:08 looks like hero worship. And I'm not a hero so, but I mentioned one of the
155 00:14:08 --> 00:14:12 students mentioned how they like to see certain things in a certain pattern,
156 00:14:12 --> 00:14:18 form, whatnot. Well, whenever there's a pool of liquidity that's taken, okay,
157 00:14:18 --> 00:14:27 and it forms with a breaker, as we see here. We have a low high, and then it
158 00:14:27 --> 00:14:35 runs to take this low out here into a larger pool of liquidity, this point of
159 00:14:36 --> 00:14:43 liquidity, below that low here, inside that daily bullish fair value gap. That
160 00:14:43 --> 00:14:50 is where this leg of the breaker. If you look inside this leg, you'll see a fair
161 00:14:50 --> 00:14:56 value gap. Now this fair value gap here, you want to start looking going back.
162 00:14:56 --> 00:15:00 Where's the first one you come to? It's this one right here. You got to use the
163 00:15:00 --> 00:15:07 volume imbalance. This specific fair value gap is labeled by my PD arrays as
164 00:15:07 --> 00:15:11 the gauntlet. Okay, it's a gauntlet. It means you're laying down the gauntlet.
165 00:15:11 --> 00:15:15 I'm going to go long on the belief that this low has taken out sufficient
166 00:15:15 --> 00:15:19 liquidity, and then it should go higher to reach into this level here, where
167 00:15:19 --> 00:15:23 there would be a breaker. You can use as a breaker entry. There's lots of times
168 00:15:23 --> 00:15:28 where I use this as a mechanism for turtle suit. You'll never see this
169 00:15:28 --> 00:15:32 methodology explained in Linda Raskin Larry Connor's book. And no other goober
170 00:15:32 --> 00:15:35 that's claiming to be the author of turtle suit ever done anything like
171 00:15:35 --> 00:15:40 this, either, these goobers. So what's what we're going to do is we're going to
172 00:15:40 --> 00:15:43 do is we're going to highlight that right there. Okay, so this is the
173 00:15:43 --> 00:15:48 gauntlet. Is a very specific fair value gap inside of a price run of a bullish
174 00:15:48 --> 00:15:54 breaker. So it's the very lowest, first, sell side imbalance, buy, some
175 00:15:54 --> 00:16:00 efficiency. It has to be the city. Okay, so when it's bullish and you reverse,
176 00:16:00 --> 00:16:05 that's when it's a bearish breaker. It's the price leg that runs the liquidity.
177 00:16:05 --> 00:16:08 The very first going from the low back, that's the very first city you come to.
178 00:16:09 --> 00:16:13 This is what you're looking for when it reads above it and it comes back down in
179 00:16:13 --> 00:16:18 there's your entry. This is your adding to it. Go back and look at some of the
180 00:16:18 --> 00:16:22 examples I did on like I said, a lot of you have them archived and keep them
181 00:16:22 --> 00:16:27 for, I guess you know, collection purposes. But even though executions on
182 00:16:27 --> 00:16:32 X, I've done this many times, many, many times, and it's always been coupled with
183 00:16:33 --> 00:16:36 people leaving comments, how did you know? How did you know to use that? Why
184 00:16:36 --> 00:16:40 did you use that? Fairbank? I'm teaching it right now. This is just one of those
185 00:16:40 --> 00:16:44 81 things where there's specific fair value guys, as I mentioned, there's a
186 00:16:44 --> 00:16:47 lot of people that writing books right now, and they're saying this is Smart
187 00:16:47 --> 00:16:50 Money concepts. They're omitting my name. They're not even mentioning the
188 00:16:50 --> 00:16:55 fact that they learned it from me. Oh, and x, I'm sorry, not an expert on
189 00:16:55 --> 00:16:58 Amazon. And they're writing their little books and whatnot, trying to get their
190 00:16:58 --> 00:17:01 credit cards paid off, because they've been charging up these prop firm
191 00:17:01 --> 00:17:04 accounts and blowing them. So you don't know what fair value you got you're
192 00:17:04 --> 00:17:07 looking at, but I promise you, someone's going to rush to get this in print, and
193 00:17:07 --> 00:17:10 so I'm going to leave some of the details out. But trust me, this is the
194 00:17:10 --> 00:17:15 gauntlet. This is one very specific fair value you got that is pertinent to how
195 00:17:15 --> 00:17:19 you can engage price action and using the levels here after it leaves the
196 00:17:19 --> 00:17:22 lower half, see what it does. Trades to it. Here, the body is staying above it,
197 00:17:22 --> 00:17:26 and then gives you one more time to add to it or enter if you missed it back
198 00:17:26 --> 00:17:31 here, if you did not utilize this. For the folks that say my silver bullet
199 00:17:31 --> 00:17:37 doesn't work anymore, I want you to think about how this drop down in here
200 00:17:39 --> 00:17:48 isn't that part of the upper quadrant, or the upper half? Rather, isn't this
201 00:17:48 --> 00:17:52 right here, this whole mechanism of using a Sibi going into inversion, fair
202 00:17:52 --> 00:17:59 value gap, that's what this is. That's a silver bullet. But I'm highlighting
203 00:17:59 --> 00:18:04 these quadrant levels here. And now I want you to look at this price level
204 00:18:04 --> 00:18:09 right up here. Okay, we're going to show you who knows what, and we're also show
205 00:18:09 --> 00:18:14 you what the signature is with the algorithm, if I highlight and hover over
206 00:18:14 --> 00:18:17 top of this very candle right here is which is what I'm doing. I'm
207 00:18:17 --> 00:18:23 screenshotting it when it's me hovering over the 10, seven minutes after 10
208 00:18:23 --> 00:18:31 candle on the one minute chart, that low comes in at 19,007 84.25, that's what's
209 00:18:31 --> 00:18:37 being highlighted here. The upper quadrant of this very specific with the
210 00:18:37 --> 00:18:44 volume imbalance. That upper quadrant comes in at 19,074.25 Boom. That's
211 00:18:44 --> 00:18:49 perfect, folks. Linda rash can't teach that. Larry Connors couldn't teach it.
212 00:18:50 --> 00:18:55 Wyckoff didn't know anything about it. Supply and demand. New Elliot. Wave,
213 00:18:55 --> 00:19:02 nope. Sorry, no. Picked forks here. Sorry, but that's perfect. That's an
214 00:19:02 --> 00:19:06 algorithmic price delivery signature, proving to you that the buying and
215 00:19:06 --> 00:19:10 selling pressure did not just agree to stop right there and agree and say
216 00:19:10 --> 00:19:13 that's the lowest. The seconds want to go and it's going to go higher from
217 00:19:13 --> 00:19:16 here. It's a it takes more faith to believe than that, than it is that the
218 00:19:16 --> 00:19:20 market's rigged and it's controlled, and it's going to a very specific level,
219 00:19:20 --> 00:19:23 stopping and turning on a dime, going higher. Why did they want to go down
220 00:19:23 --> 00:19:26 below this low? Why didn't they want to go down to the midpoint of the game? Why
221 00:19:26 --> 00:19:30 didn't it just roll over entirely? Because it's scripted. It's also
222 00:19:30 --> 00:19:35 occurring during a very specific time of day. I'm going to go in closer and zoom
223 00:19:35 --> 00:19:40 in on this, but I want to show you here is the bison about cell sign
224 00:19:40 --> 00:19:44 efficiencies. Here is your silver bullet. Forget the gauntlet. Forget
225 00:19:44 --> 00:19:48 that. Okay, for now, but there's going to be people putting them in their
226 00:19:48 --> 00:19:53 YouTube videos. Now, that's good. It's good, it's good. The buy, set amount,
227 00:19:53 --> 00:19:58 sell sign efficiency here, that's your silver bullet, and this is institutional
228 00:19:58 --> 00:20:04 or financial drill, right there? Here, and that price running higher tells you
229 00:20:04 --> 00:20:09 that we're moving higher, but this candlestick right here. What I did with
230 00:20:09 --> 00:20:13 Thursday of last week's daily premium wick, we're going to do the same thing
231 00:20:13 --> 00:20:18 right here. We're going to look at this wick here. Let me zoom in. Here's that
232 00:20:18 --> 00:20:19 wick right here.
233 00:20:20 --> 00:20:25 Okay, and we're going to take the levels of the high up quadrant, consequent
234 00:20:25 --> 00:20:29 encroachment lower quadrant and the low, which is the close of the candlestick
235 00:20:29 --> 00:20:34 right there, and we're going to project them forward. Okay, so again, this is
236 00:20:34 --> 00:20:38 going to slap the faces in the mouth of everybody saying that I rebranded this,
237 00:20:38 --> 00:20:44 that nail. I think, garbage, garbage excuses for them being envious, okay?
238 00:20:44 --> 00:20:49 And again, if it was beforehand, before I ever talked about it, why has it never
239 00:20:49 --> 00:20:53 been shown in people's examples? And why are they using my vocabulary? Why are
240 00:20:53 --> 00:20:59 they using my vocabulary? Because I'm the only one, daddy. So if you take
241 00:20:59 --> 00:21:03 those levels and project them forward. You can see those specific levels here.
242 00:21:03 --> 00:21:08 And now we're going to inside this range, from this candlesticks close to
243 00:21:08 --> 00:21:11 this candle sticks, you know, run higher. I'm going to take you down into
244 00:21:11 --> 00:21:17 a 15 second chart. Okay, inside this little range here, this is all you need
245 00:21:18 --> 00:21:20 when you know you're on side. That means the market's done enough down here
246 00:21:20 --> 00:21:25 during the macro so at 950, to 1010, that's what this is delineating here.
247 00:21:25 --> 00:21:30 Market drips, drips down into the daily bullish fair value gap. Remember that
248 00:21:30 --> 00:21:34 yellow area on the daily chart I started with? Then it rips higher. We have a
249 00:21:34 --> 00:21:40 shift in market structure here, silver bullet, institutional order, flow entry
250 00:21:40 --> 00:21:47 drill. And then we have this wick in here. We have the gauntlet. We have the
251 00:21:48 --> 00:21:56 turtle suit, Low to low. Okay, you shift in market structure. We have this wicks,
252 00:21:56 --> 00:22:04 consequent encroachment, bam. See how all these details are converging. It's a
253 00:22:04 --> 00:22:08 confluence of multiple factors suggesting it's done. It's going to go
254 00:22:08 --> 00:22:16 higher. So let's look inside this little range here on a 15 second chart. This is
255 00:22:16 --> 00:22:20 that 15 second area in here. Okay, and before I go any detail here, I want to
256 00:22:20 --> 00:22:22 show you what I was seeing on the 15 second chart. Because, as I mentioned,
257 00:22:22 --> 00:22:27 because, as I mentioned, every time I talk about executions, I'm looking at a
258 00:22:27 --> 00:22:30 15 second chart. Folks. Okay, just because you don't see it doesn't mean
259 00:22:30 --> 00:22:34 I'm not looking at it. If you look over here, when that dropped down at 930s
260 00:22:34 --> 00:22:39 candle, I'm entering right inside that. So as it reclaimed bullish fair value
261 00:22:39 --> 00:22:44 gap, relative equal lows. It just stab below that. And then we're here. I'm
262 00:22:44 --> 00:22:47 going long while we're inside that, and the stop loss can be right below there.
263 00:22:47 --> 00:22:52 And this right here, this wick, you can break that down into quadrants, and stop
264 00:22:52 --> 00:22:58 loss has to be at least below the low and Mark comes down to about the lower
265 00:22:58 --> 00:23:01 quadrant, and then rips higher and goes to my target up here, as I mentioned,
266 00:23:01 --> 00:23:04 when we're on the one minute. The one minute chart, but over here on the 15
267 00:23:04 --> 00:23:09 second chart, you can see that that range has fair value gap and volume
268 00:23:09 --> 00:23:12 imbalance. The market trades up the bodies are staying inside that range and
269 00:23:12 --> 00:23:18 then drops down. The bodies stay inside the lower quadrant wicks down into the
270 00:23:18 --> 00:23:23 volume imbalance, but the bodies are staying inside of that buy center,
271 00:23:23 --> 00:23:28 balance, cell, sign, efficiency, and then it rips higher for this pool of
272 00:23:28 --> 00:23:31 liquidity right there. Remember I told you, start looking at the 15 second
273 00:23:31 --> 00:23:35 chart. Find the relative equal highs and lows and what time they run to them.
274 00:23:35 --> 00:23:42 Okay, the price run begins inside the macro. Time to here. All this looks
275 00:23:42 --> 00:23:46 crazy now, doesn't it? It's a 15 second chart, and look how clean the price
276 00:23:46 --> 00:23:50 action is. It didn't look that clean so much on the one minute chart. But when
277 00:23:50 --> 00:23:53 you know the bias and you know the narrative, how it's going to employ the
278 00:23:53 --> 00:23:58 daily range at certain points and turns at time, everything becomes much more
279 00:23:58 --> 00:24:07 clear. And that's that's this area over here. And in the afternoon, I did a one
280 00:24:07 --> 00:24:12 for one risk, took some of the profit that was over here, risked it here, and
281 00:24:12 --> 00:24:19 then added to it here, for sell side there, and there you go. So with the
282 00:24:19 --> 00:24:25 positions from Monday morning, Monday afternoon, and then Tuesdays morning and
283 00:24:25 --> 00:24:31 Tuesdays afternoon. It's 103,000 notice how we ran up into the first for sensory
284 00:24:31 --> 00:24:41 bag app on Monday wild in it, and now rubbing on over here. Wednesdays
285 00:24:41 --> 00:24:46 constant encouragement, the wick, lower quadrant, low, we trade down into it.
286 00:24:46 --> 00:24:51 Look at this crazy price. Run right up to Thursday's high on that wick. Isn't
287 00:24:51 --> 00:25:02 that crazy? Show you real quick. I'm. Stop it all the way up, but keep your
288 00:25:02 --> 00:25:02 eye on over there.
289 00:25:08 --> 00:25:09 See how these executions.
290 00:25:18 --> 00:25:19 Right here, I'm
291 00:25:29 --> 00:25:38 same account, basically, and then now, this is Monday's first, since we're back
292 00:25:38 --> 00:25:44 at random in it. Here
293 00:25:54 --> 00:26:02 Thursday's premium wiki. This is the low of the wick, lower quadrant of it,
294 00:26:03 --> 00:26:07 consequent crochet of it, upper quadrant of it, and the high of it.
295 00:26:12 --> 00:26:19 They've worked a lot of the upper half. They dip down below here, be back up in
296 00:26:19 --> 00:26:24 the Mondays or the week's first potential everybody got here, and then
297 00:26:24 --> 00:26:35 we broke lower. So with FOMC later today, it's basically you want to stay
298 00:26:35 --> 00:26:39 away from it. Okay, let's say it that way. Longer term, I think we could
299 00:26:39 --> 00:26:44 potentially trade higher. I'm not trying to pick a top I'm looking for them to
300 00:26:44 --> 00:26:50 try squeeze on those individuals to have been prop on the downside. So FMC would
301 00:26:50 --> 00:26:57 be a wonderful medium to do that with, even if it was just to go up there make
302 00:26:57 --> 00:27:03 a higher high on the daily chart, and that we've done in recent days just to
303 00:27:03 --> 00:27:11 go lower. So either or it's it's likely to go up and up to what you take out
304 00:27:11 --> 00:27:15 this here. These are relative equal highs. There's a lot of buy side up
305 00:27:15 --> 00:27:23 here. So on that end cycle, and I will be with you again tomorrow, Lord
306 00:27:23 --> 00:27:26 willing, until then, be safe you.
