 All right, good morning, guys. Can you hear me in YouTube land? Can someone let me know? I'm sure there's some trailer members in here. Let me know if you can hear me in YouTube land.

In fact, there are frequently short differences between hyperventilating, simulated performance, results, and the actual results, specifically achieved by any particular training program. One of the limitations of hyperventilating performance results in that they are generally prepared to benefit the outside. In addition, hyperventilating is not about financial risk, and no hyperventilating can completely account for the impact of financial risk and actual training. For example, the ability to withstand losses around herein to a particular training program is about training losses on material points which can also affect actual training results. Because these trades have not actually been executed, the hyperventilating results may not be overcompensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors such as lack of liquidity. There are numerous other factors related to markets and general or cheap implementation of any specific training program which can only be accounted for in simulated training or in the preparation of hyperventilating performance results and all. Of which, hyperventilating affects the actual training results. The stray rumors and webinars are now intended to bear in mind trades or to give specific returns to training and taking into account the impact of financial risk. Good morning. It started with that point of me to tell you about this guy here, March Madness Competition. I'll put these links in here so this is free to enter. These links here, I'll put this in the YouTube channel. I'm able to post now, so that's that. And then that's this. So BookBamp Academy, they go over different trading strategies. I have not got on there yet. I do want to get on there because I'm always, as you should be, open to learn new things. Maybe realize things that you may have been missing. As a trader, you always want to be continuing educating yourself on things. You never know at all and I'm always open. I don't bring new things into my trading lightly, but I'm always open to get different takes on things. I can't tell you how many things that I've learned from Bruce that I've incorporated in my trading that I had no idea existed. I kind of like the price change out though and stuff like that that we'll talk about today in the market polls. But I'm hearing good things about that academy and then you can do the crypto competition. And we've talked about it here, too. So I'm going to find it. You're getting, you've got a little bit of an edge, a huge edge, if you are using the SI indicator with the crypto. So we'll see if something fires off all around the webinar, but I'm posting things like right here. So that's my Twitter. Yet another BTC Future Special buy-ice event that goes, I'm about to go short now as I go over there in a second. $3,000 moving close. So this stuff, someone laughed at me when I posted this one time on Twitter and then it came out that the big funds are using futures to liquidate and enter positions. So the point is you can trade either futures off of these events, right? As long as you know the threshold and the zone drawer will draw them for you. We'll go over all this stuff in my zone drawer where you don't have to draw the zones by hand anymore. You can trade the futures or you can trade the cash. The cash is highly leveraged. I haven't traded it for a few years. I'm going to get back into it because I keep seeing these huge moves and I'm not partaking. So anyway, getting that competition, I don't know if they'll let me in that competition. That'd be kind of fun. Then people would probably complain not that I'm some wizard, but we'll see. Maybe I'll get in there. All right, so I'll come back to go there in a second. I got longs potentially working on gold. I have a short working here. I was short into the open. We'll go over all this. I got out of some and then it came back and stopped me out and now I'm going to put the short right back on. Off of this event. That did not violate to the upside. And here's a new event. Maybe doing something wrong. Oh, Dan's telling me I could join the competition. Maybe I will. All right, anyway, this is... If this moves a little lower, this is going to be a broken ice setup here. One of my six distinct setups. We'll go over those as well on the webinar. There's always new traders in here, so I cover a lot of basic stuff on these webinars. So bear with me if you've heard it a thousand times. Anyway, I'm going to go short this. These are two... So the whole crux of my trading, the basis of my trading, is important, to find important areas that I deem important and then look for these real-time volume events in these areas and I have distinct rules based on these volume events. So I just got filled on the NASDAQ here. So this particular, these areas are... So these are in the trading strategies. So all these trading strategies are my important areas looking for the volume events and those important areas. So I have, again, six distinct volume events and the way they trade around them. So I look for those in important areas. So I can tell you every week, you guys have your own important areas, which is absolutely fine. I'm never going to tell you what area is important or not, as far as some reusing MACD, Bollinger Bands, Fibonacci, whatever you're using, that's fine if you think there's an edge there. But I'm telling you, there's not a real edge unless you're seeing real-time volume at these areas. And that's when you really have the edge because what is real-time volume? They're loaded up traders in the area, aka fuel. So when the market moves away from here, you've got the guys that are taking stands, puking out. That helps your cause. Just to line on a chart doesn't mean much unless something's happening in that area. So a couple of things going on here. So you can hear the zone-drying tool reading off all the stuff. It's incredible, right? The developer from my trade room when I just fell on there. Also short double-size in soybeans. We'll come over here. We'll go over why I'm short double-size, but I actually missed an Izzy trade at the open here. Yeah, this guy, I could have got an aggressively, but then I got this. I'm short bark and lick strategies. We'll go over all these again. And I'm short double-size soybeans. So I just got filled there. Let me put these stops in both these products I just took trades on. So I entered at 83. My stop is 87.75. So this is the spreadsheet we use in my trade room. You get this for free as a member of my trade room, as well as these inflection zones, aka Izzy's, right? So I'm going to take along. I don't mean to be jumping around here, but we'll get over to this, but there's a volume of it right now in gold. It moved out, moved back in. This moves out. I'm taking an Izzy, aka my important area. Anyway, you can get these and their spreadsheet as a member of my trade room. If you can't get in the trade room, they can get the stuff on my website. Usually I have this up here. It's just my other websites. So scoppelscenetrader.com is the one website. I'll post this document too. And this is the other one if you want the zones and or the spreadsheet. Let me post this in the YouTube as well. So this is this. I will go over all this a little bit. This is the drawing tool course. That's the website I just talked about. We'll go over all these in order when stuff starts to settle down. I'll post this real quick though. So there's been some really heavy relative volume coming in here in these equities. You know, they're attributed, and some of my trade room mentioned it too, that it's the rebalancing. I just don't remember like yesterday. I did my webinar earlier. I walk out the door and then the relative volume like shot through the roof and the market just ripped. I don't remember the rebalancing causing that big of a ripple in the markets, but there was definitely something going on. So that's good for us as traders, right? So anyway, this is what I did here. Excuse me. First to show you this Izzy Zone. I'll show you why I went short here and there's a way I can both make or swim. Let me find the 85 charts I have here. There it is. Who's talking right now? Anyway, this is the zone I just shorted off of. Very important area for this market. Got balance. This broke down. So we've talked about this at length in my trade room the last couple of days. That's a breakdown. That's a fail breakdown. This market got through this high volume note. This should have ripped off the page. Didn't, came back once again. Now, you know, then it built balance and then it now, you know, things were shipped. Obviously these markets are very bullish overall, but then it broke out of this balance. But you can see it is struggling at this prior balance. High volume note. We got something in crude as well. And not only that, you can see these selling tails here too right around the zone that I've had from other stuff. Right? That's why we use these zones because they remain important until... Now once the market trades through them a bunch of times and I delete them, but this one's still important. I can actually move it up a little bit. Anyway, this is telling you something. You have a little tail here, bigger tail, bigger tail. What are tails? That's instant rejection. Granted, this is an hourly chart. So it's not like instant rejection, but that's telling you something, right? You can look at this chart. You don't see, when you see tails, they, the market reacts. So this is telling me and it's happening in an important area. This still, you know, may do this. The big, the big area is going to be, and this may happen while we're on the webinar. Watch this high volume note and then this is also where this market launched from directional conviction, right? Basically, if this market gets through this, this zone here, I'm going to be trading double size short. I don't care what's been going on in here. Like, you know, every short, every time you put on a short, it's a complete torture. Like I probably be tortured on the short end now, but we break this balance area. I'm firing to the downside. So again, so I trade both ways. I don't care. It happens every day. I say, I love the short here, right? Say it comes down and I get a long into this zone. I'll still take a long setup. I'll still take the longs. I'm a day trader. But if I start getting short setups, I trade. Based on my thesis, I'll trade bigger size. So that's all it is. I mean, a thesis is an opinion. I have opinions nonstop, right? Doesn't mean they're right, but when I get the volume events agreeing with my opinion, that's when I go for the throw, right? So anyway, that was Izzy's zone. This event, Izzy's zones are usually aggressive entries, meaning I don't, I have two different types of entries for these volume events. I either get in them right away when they break out at the, just outside of an ATR. That's this yellow line. We'll go over this zone drawer here in a little bit. Or I wait for ATR. That's the blue line, retest, confirm. Then I go in depending on the strategy, right? Usually Izzy's and pick trades, profiles, and courage. Actually, I'm going to watch this area too, because when I was short pre-market, I did get out of some down here. And it was the right move. And if it gets back down here, we'll go over what's down here. But I'm going to be getting out of some of these trades that just can't blow through this area again. Anyway, the two trades here were Izzy and Pick. So Pick is a profiles and courage trade. Actually, there's probably a little through there. Let's see. Yeah, it was a little through there, but I took it. So lots of stuff firing off here. So that's a market profile composites when you merge the days. The value raise of days. So like this is a single day. A value raise is just 70% of the trade. Or that occurred, right? When you get days that overlap, I merge them together and they're very, very powerful areas. So anyway, the volume event basically happened there on this retest. I'll take that short, just like I did on the pre-market and the Izzy short. And then the other trades that are possible here. I mean, I already took that short, but then you get a new event. So this is what I do, right? So my stop for the shorts I just entered was off of that event. And I entered like right there. My stop was way up here. I'm sorry, it was way up here. Now that I got a new event, I trail my stop to that. It's not that big of a difference, but it's a difference. So I'm going to actually plug this into the spreadsheet. So we do have the ATR in here and all these lines are based off the ATR where you enter, exit. It's the same stuff than the spreadsheet, but the ATR has not been behaving properly. This is why this is in beta mode. The pro version, if you have it, if you have the drawing tool. So this is showing, for instance, you can see there in the bottom left, 21.29 is the ATR. The thinkorswim ATR is 19.64. Not a huge difference, but it makes a difference because this stuff's pretty exact in what we're doing as far as ATR and everything else. So I want to make sure I have the current ATR in there. So in this, I want to get over to CL. I definitely want to be long CL. I mean, I want to trade double size CL because of what's going on in there. We'll cover that in a second. So anyway, let's just put this, put the zone in. I can trail my stop to this. So 18.511.50 to 06.25. If you have questions as we go along, throw them in the YouTube channel. My ATR is currently 19.76. So I'm trailing my stop to this most recent event. Remember, I got short off of that. Now I can trail my stop to that. So if I were to short off of that, so my stop would be 34.25. So I'm moving it down to 34.25. I entered at, basically right here. I entered at 95.50. Which is basically right here. Off of that zone. And my stop's up here. You can see it's pretty close, but it's not exact, right? So this is showing me, this is would be my stop, this yellow line is the stop. It's saying 36.25. So it's off by about, or 36, off about three ticks. So I'm going to trail my stop to 35.25. On these. Now what else can I do off of this event? Even this event. So these are different trading strategies, right? I took two different trading strategies that were aggressive entries where I'd take them first move out. I took on that one. I took the Izzy trade, Inflection's own trade, first move out. There are instances where you wait for a retest. This was not one of them, so I took it aggressively. And the other trade I put on was the Profiles Encourage trade. That's supposed to be a funny name. I try to name these funny names because it's memorable. This was actually John F. Kennedy's book, Profiles Encourage. That's why I named it. Anyway, it's based on market profiles. So both of these are aggressive entries. Now I also have in play a potential lick trade. We'll see how much lick is below. And a potential bark. So what are barks and licks? Barks and licks are basically taking anywhere these happen. We just talked about how I wait for these events in important areas. Well barks and licks are basically anywhere you get an event, you're taking it because the edge is inherently in the event, right? I don't care where these things happen. It's still an edge. If they happen in important areas, it's even better of an edge. But I want to take advantage of when I see these anywhere because there's an edge there, right? So if this does one of these, so for bark and lick, I need to see an ATR, which it already hit. I need to see a retest of the area. And I need to see a confirm or a failure. Then I'll put on that trade as well, right? So that is not retested. I don't think it retested. I got to talk to the developer about we got to move this over more right because it's like in the middle of the chart. Well, I guess if you spread it out, you don't have to worry about it. I asked him to put these numbers on the right. But I think we need them further right. So if you're on, if you're watching, that's my request to that. All right, so let's see if there's so there is definitely lick here. You know, you got to decide if you're putting on a lick trade, if it's worth the risk reward, right? So if this does what I said comes back. Well, I'm entering here. Do I really want to put a lick trade? That's right here. So I'm risking all the way up here to make it to there. You're not going to make a living as a trader taking, you know, 0.5 to 1 trade. All right, there's lots of stuff firing off here. All right, I'm about to go along goal two. We got over there. Let's see if there's more lick below here. Yeah, there's like, so you had big band here. I mean, it's not crazy, but it's been in here forever. So I'm okay with the lick trade here as well. So if this comes back, I'm already short, pick, and easy. Then if this does this, this, this, I'm going to put on barks and licks. So, and the great thing about this zone drawing tool, it will let me know when it retest this zone. So I don't have to sit there and watch it. I don't know how many trades I've missed because I just, what didn't have the, you know, I wasn't staring at the, at the chart. All right, so gold. This is, wait, once again, I already kind of went over this. This is a move back. So this market is, my thesis is very bullish now. It's been bullish. It looked like it was going to rip, go to 3000, and then all of a sudden it just did one of these. Built balance, right? And what did it do? That's a failed breakdown. Struggled here at the high volume node, built more balance, broke out. So I said, even in my trading room, any long setups that I get in gold today, I will be taking double size. So this is a, because of my thesis, right? I trade both ways, but if it's in line with my thesis, and this is a dumb and dumber, a dumb money puke, you had two of them here, right? You had stop run there, stop run there. Usually the stop runs are retail traders, right? So usually it's just them puking and it's not initiative buying or selling. So the majority of the time it's an excellent fade trade area. So this is a puke into an important area. If this moves up a little higher, I'm taking the long at that price. And that's the price. So we can, I think you should be able to see this. And I think I put this in the spreadsheet here. Hold on. That's that zone. Let's make sure this ATR is right. It's actually up to 3.6. So my long is at 2230.1. I think I have these working. I better have these working. And I'm going to trade double size here. So this is the great thing about the spreadsheet too. All you have to do is enter your ATR, your zones, the amount you want to risk per trade. So basically you should be doing a percentage of your trading account. These are Apex accounts. So I'm rich for each strategy. So I'm risking more. If you're trading a real money account with your own money that you're living on, you should not be risking 10% on a trade. You should be risking 2% max. If it's an A plus trade, 4%, but you should be stopping out at around 6%. If you lose 6% of your account value in a day, you should be done. So you got to decide it's fine to trade. For instance, if you love this gold long, it's fine to put on 6%. But you got to be okay. If this ends up being a loser, you're done for the day. So if you start violating this, you've got no chance to make it in this business. I can promise you it will. You may get away with it a couple of times. It will bite you in the ass eventually. Take it from me. You guys have altered my stories and maybe I'll go over it. I don't like talking about my... ignoring my daily risk levels. It's not a fun story and I would have another $1.4 million in my pocket if I would have... probably more than that. There was just two different separate days. I lost $800,000 in two different days. Literally a month apart. This was 2004. Just because I violated my risk rules and because my firm didn't stop me. It's not their responsibility, but it kind of was because that's why we have risk managers at the firms. They didn't stop me. I didn't stop myself. I was supposed to... my max loss for a day back then was $100,000. I lost $800,000 twice. How does that happen? Especially the second time? No idea. Well, I'll tell you how it happens because when you go on tilt mentally, you become a different person. I become a different person anyway. I can't tell you how many times I've done stupid shit in here. Pardon my language, but that's what it is. And I'm just... I wake up the next morning and I take a $800,000 loss and I'm just like, what in the hell was I thinking? What was I doing yesterday? Who was that person? Trust me, it happens. When you start getting your being or your... I can't think of the word... threatened, right? Like your life, your existence threatened, basically financially, you react like a different person, right? And you don't even really... A lot of times you can't catch yourself. I'm at least at the point in my career where I... like yesterday, I had a bunch of... I had a mistake and some technology things and I started... and I missed a trade and I tried to get out and it did one of these and I even told my room. I said, I feel myself going on tilt. See, I can catch it now. Back then I couldn't catch it and then you lose $800,000. So I didn't really want to get in that ramp, but very important to control your risk is the moral of that story. All right, so if that comes back, I'll be long. You'll hear that fire off. Let's see what's going on here. You know, again, you go short these markets and by the way, here's zero. We want to keep an eye on that. So this is the options activity. You guys, I know I'm jumping around. I know I'm talking fast. I'm trading live. So you got it. If you're going to get on these webinars, you got to bear with me. I'm covering all these different markets, telling you my sob stories from the past, watching all this other stuff. I talk fast because my mind works fast. I, you know, I process things quickly and I'm trading live. You know, that's the other thing too. I always bring this up and I never have it up ready to go. So I tell my room and I tell you guys all the time. If you come in my room, you can learn what I'm doing, but it's just like this. As far as me explaining, like, oh, this is a broken ice setup. This is a dumb and dumber setup. Yeah, you can learn. It's going to take you a while because I'm trading live, right? So what I tell my room, basically, pretty much every day, right? If you want to get fast track, even if you can't get in the room, this is, what's in one minute? Oh, the natural gas number. So this is the course, right? So this goes over everything I'm doing and this is, you know, it goes over everything. This is the updated course. Thresholds, for the settings, how to draw the zones. And again, if you have the zone drawer, you don't even need to do this anymore. And then here are my setups, right? So for instance, this setup that I'm potentially going short or that I should have shorted in NASDAQ and I may add, if it does that, that, that, is a broken ice setup. What's broken ice? Well, it's a big money buy ice. So the big money is buying up here and it's not working out for them right now, right? So I take advantage. This is the other thing, too, when this stuff first came out, everyone's like, especially competitors of BookMap, they thought what I was saying is every time you see buy ice, you just blindly buy. No. Paper's wrong a lot, right? They're right more often than they're wrong because they're the big guys and they can, not the big guy, but they're the big guys where they can buy and they can, you know, if they have unlimited size, they could just buy, just hold the market and it finally relents, right? So yes, they do have more control over the market than a retail trader, obviously, but they're not always right. And the whole point is you're looking for that area and if they're not right, we take advantage of it, right? So anyway, this is a broken ice setup. You have two of them here. This one was wrong. And how do I gauge that? If the market can push an ATR away from the area, that's how I determine if it's bullish or bearish, right? From watching so many of these things over the last seven years, literally probably millions, I've just seen this tendency, and that guess stuff's coming out. I've seen this tendency if the market's able to push away at least an ATR, then it has a propensity to continue in that direction, right? So that's how I judge. Anyway, broken ice, broken ice, and I will put on more trades if that happens. We're waiting for that. I'm still already short, but I'll put on other strategies if that comes back. All right, another market. I don't know why I'm not... Golden crude are the biggest markets right now as far as my conviction, a.k.a. my thesis, right? So you can see crude. We've been waiting for this for days. All these markets have been horrific, like going into basically yesterday, right? That's why I told my room, too. If you're struggling lately, so many traders, they start struggling. They think to stuff whatever their edge is that they think they have, and they may have a legitimate edge, but they start to, they take three, four, five losers in a row in crappy trade, and they think it doesn't work anymore. You gotta step back and reassess, okay, is my system not working, or is it just because the markets suck? Well, the last... I mean, it's been months, but especially the last two, three weeks, the market has been horrible. It's been this type of trade in all the markets, right? Usually, you can jump to another market if the equities suck and something else is moving. Lately, it's been, like, even gold. It's just been sitting there for days and finally breaking out today. But the point is, if you've been struggling lately, lots of nature has stuff. We'll head over there maybe. I'm gonna let this settle down first. If you're struggling, my point is if you have an edge, like we have an edge, I know it's the edge. I'll put my life on it, right? I'm not abandoning it. I just, you just gotta either pull back your size or just take your lumps. Again, respect your loss limit for the day. If you, you know, you take a couple days' limit down, that's fine. Don't get stupid in crappy trade and you go on tilt and you lose 20, 30, 40% of your account. And then when the market finally picks up and it's great trade, all you're doing is getting that 20, 30, 40% back. And then it's like it's not worth it, right? It's not worth it financially or mentally. So don't let it get to you when you see crappy trade like this. Anyway, there's a lot going on here. So we've talked about this. This was obviously a very bullish market, right? Broke out. This is the same pattern over and over and over. Came back, retested what? High volume node. And then it built more balance, right? Fail breakdown there. Break out there. Break out there. And then what should it, so this is what we talk about all the time. What should happen if markets break out of balance and they come back through the high volume node? It should do that. If it doesn't do that, it's telling you something is up, majorly up. Meaning the move out of here is going to probably be multiples. And then what did it do? It did another. Then this way it did a fail break out. I'm sorry, break down. And it struggled and it came back here and I'm like, well, this still might be bearish. And then it did directional conviction. Balance. Tried to break down again. Where we build balance. These high volume nodes here. And then it broke out there. So right now what's going on is, so this is how I come up with what's going on, bigger picture for my thesis, right? I'll try it both ways, right? So for instance, this volume event, if it fails, I would take a short here. But if this volume event that I'm showing you here turns out to be a long event, I'm trading double size. Why? Because my thesis is bullish based on the breakout of that. First of all, this broke down. What did it do? Did it do that? No, it just sat here, held where this directional conviction came in and built more balance. Now you have a balance breakout. Did I not get filled in my other goal? I kind of just didn't adjust my entry point like I was supposed to. Anyway, I'm long gold on one of the accounts. All right, so we had a breakout here. All right, now I'm long everything gold. And let's do the high volume node of that. We actually have a new trading strategy. It's going to be done this weekend. And this is the new strategy. Balance breakout through the high volume node of a prior balance. You can take trades aggressively, meaning you don't have to wait for retests of the zone, right? So that's what's happening right now. So anyway, so I can actually practice what I preach here and put on this new trading strategy. It's not even listed yet in the trading strategies, but meaning I could take this first move out of here. Meaning it gets to that. Let's make the ATRs correct. I will be going long and I'm going to be going along double size. Because why? Because this has already proven a bullish event. It hit the ATR line and now this is the game, guys. We actually have a zone drawing tool. We also have the ATR reversion trades. These markets have a ridiculous propensity to come back to these zones, right? So we actually have a trade that takes advantage of the one ATR, the two ATR, the three ATR. This one, the one ATR worked twice, right? So those are more for scalping type of trades, but that's part of the spreadsheet. I don't really get into those on the webinar because they're just too hard to do too fast. And I got to cover all these markets. But this part of the spreadsheet is for position trading strategies. And then this one is for the reversion strategies. So the spreadsheet, you see all that on the new zone drawing tool, right? So you get these values. As long as the ATR is correct, you got to check that. So this is showing the ATR. And I want to know anyway because I'm from my position trades. This is showing a 13 ATR. You can see it down there at the bottom left, 0.13. I had it a second ago there, 0.3. So let's see if that's right. You have to pretty clearly see how the bottom left there or the middle left, 0.127. So this one's pretty accurate. I mean, it's almost exact. So I'm going to take, I can trade right off the chart. So what am I doing here? Buy them of that. Sell ice. So some big money is selling here. Does that mean I just turn around and go short just because they're selling? No. If I were to do my confirmation, then yeah. This one is already confirmed as a bullish setup. That means if I get a short setup now off of this event, I can't take it. These are my personal rules. If the market pushes an ATR away from the volume of it, I don't take shorts, right? Because we already talked about it. It's showing as along. If it does do this, then I just wait for a new event. There's another event right around the corner. So I would say, so you don't have to force trades or say I want to get in anyway. If this comes out of here, I'm going long. I'm going long. The new setup, I don't even have a name for it yet. We're trying to get my room to help me name it. That's that balance breakout through the high volume or the balance breakout. That's the one strategy I can take. Let's see what else is here that I can take. Again, these are my different strutting areas where I wait for events. So we know high volume node breakout. Like I said, let's see what else we got here. This is close to a pick. Let's see. That was right around 82.16. Where was that volume of it? Pretty close. I mean, when I say pretty close, that's what you got to decide. There's some subjectivity to this stuff. Most of the stuff we do is black and white. But you got to say, hey, is this close enough to this guy where I'm going to take a pick? Well, I'm already very bullish to market. We just talked about it. So I will say that's close enough. I'm going to take a pick trade too. So not only am I going to put on the new setup that's coming. I'll have it in this weekend. Remember, it's in my room. Keep saying it, but it'll be done this weekend. Got a three-day weekend coming up. No trade tomorrow. Balance breakout through the high volume node of this balance. Take any trade. No, I'm not saying up here you take aggressive bonds. I'm saying as it breaks through this high volume node, which is pretty close, I know this isn't as easy as on this way, but I will still take that aggressively. Right? So on the flip side, if I get a short in here, a short setup, I'll still take the short. I'm bullish, but guys, if the markets truly bullish, you shouldn't see these volume events failing to the downside, right? So I can't go short this particular one because it already confirmed to the upside. So we've already covered that. This comes back 82.45. I'm putting on, I wish I had a name for it. If you guys want to help me name it in YouTube, since my room hasn't given me a name. The balance breakout one, BB, we'll just call it BB right now. And pick 82.45. And you can see this does you everything in here. You can put on shows you your size. Where's the size? All right here. See where it says position. This is going off the big, the big, right? So the regular. So it's saying I can pull 1.5 of the regular CL contract for your just contract. Obviously you can't put on half. All you got to do for micros is times a times 10. It means I can put on 15 micros. And I'm obviously bullish. So I'm going to trade double size. So I'm going to put on 30. I could put on three normal. I'll just put on 30 because I'm trading the micros here. So that's going to be... Actually I don't even have an assigned... I don't have an assigned Apex account to that yet. But so I'll put on another one. 81.45. The entry. Ah, of course. Right through there. And then what was the other one I said? I'll pick. It touched that price, so I should be in. So I'm long crewed and I'm long crewed double size. So here's my entry. That's the shell line. Where's my stop? The other yellow line. 82.11. So I'm going to put those in. So you see the simplicity. If you have the spreadsheet or the drawing tool, everything's right there at your disposal. You don't have to sit there and try to figure out where do I get out, where do I... If you're going to follow the rules that I'm using. And again, you're more than welcome to watch 5 million of these things come up with your own rules. If you want to fast track it and go with someone who's watched so many of these and use my rules as at least a blueprint or a foundation, I highly recommend it. But if you want to watch 8 million of them come with your own rules, then do it. So stops are in. So right now, I'm long crewed. I'm long gold that's ripping. So now what do I do? So this one's moving in my favor. Now the next thing I do is I want to see what areas I may start to piece out of this tray. I'm definitely going to watch a prior event. I have these all listed. And this is part of my trade room too. I go over this every week. Every day with my trade room, you should have this. One of the prerequisites of coming to my room you have to tattoo this to your forehead. So like a real tattoo. And or read it every morning before you start trading. Anyway, so right here, I pay myself as the market makes money available to me. So these are the areas that I will piece out if the market struggles. And we have methods to decide if it's going to be able to blow through the area or not. Right? So a prior event is one of them. Right here. Same day, prior event. Same day, prior SI events. Stop iceberg events. So watching this area very closely, this 59, the bottom of the zone, right around the zone. And we're going to be able to do it real time too. We're going to be speaking of which I got to turn on the text right here too. Well over all the stuff I'm using in my trading. Again guys, if you come to my room you don't need to use all the stuff I'm using in my trading. Yes, you need book map in the SI indicator you're not going to get anything. I mean, and it's the best edge you're ever going to see in my opinion. Right? But you don't have to use all this other stuff I'm using. I use market polls. Definitely market polls. I like to use tick strike, which is kind of a poor man's version of market polls over all this stuff. But this is the stuff I use. So we're going to judge when it gets up here and we're going to use the market polls, order book games and the potentially the price change I would decide if I'm going to get out at this area. So that's one area I look at as prior events and see what else we got. Lug. So I definitely get out at yellow lug. So we've got that prior event and yellow lug I'll probably get out of at least half if it struggles I'll probably get out of three quarters there. You can see we're way up here. And here is an example of this morning I got short pre-market on that Nasdaq trade and where did I get out of half of them? I had what I have on seven I got out of four. So that was like here I got out at yellow lug. Not all of them. And then it came back and stopped me out but I basically scratched the trade because I got out of half there and got out of the other half there. These are the lug we haven't got in the lug yet either these lug width levels are the second most powerful thing I've ever seen in my trading next to the SI indicator, right? So I respect the yellow lug when I have a trade on and it gets to it and I can't get through it I get out of some. Those are one of my areas. So lugs are my areas prior same day events are my areas market profile composite highs and lows points of controls are my areas you can see this one right there. So let me see if you guys have any questions I got to take a breath here. Daniel I purchased a drawing until yesterday can I get to access the probata? Daniel I already sent you an email check your email I sent you that I forwarded you I responded to your email through my website and then I sent you another email with the instructions for the beta so check your email all right so and so the biggest thing guys too is you know be under and this is the retest I was looking for too by the way in Nasdaq I'm under no illusion this even if this is a winning trade which it probably won't be because this market is so ridiculous it just goes up every single day it just gets so that's why you guys you always hear me saying which these things go to zero you know even if this doesn't make the move down I know I'm going very likely get tortured right very seldom lately in the last five months do you get like straight moves down right so well if this comes back stops me out stops me out if it comes back I'm putting on I'm already short pick is he strategies now I'm going to put on Barks and Licks if it comes back here off of this I'm not we've already discussed all this and just wanted to recap it this is pretty close it's about this is showing a 19.7 80 ATR the ATR is 18.7 so I got to make sure this spreadsheet's right for my entry if it does come back oh by the way what was this this is the one ATR reversion trade there's your line right there for the one ATR your stop for the one ATR as this dash dotted so you get in there your wrist to there for playback to the zone work like a charm so that was that so I could already get this in here I already put the zone in and did I not this is down 19.12 so this is showing me an entry of 84.25 I could put on 5 this is showing me an entry of 82.75 so there's definitely difference there right make sure if you're getting when you get if you get the drawing tool you get the pro version you got to know it's beta that's why it's beta this is not right yet so you've got to check your ATR to make sure you're entering it the right place it matters trust me I get filled to the tick five times a day it gets real annoying after a while so these prices are important 84.25 I can put on 5 I can put on bark and lick I'm already short picking as he right now I'm short ZS as well go over that again in a second 84.25 I'm short and bark and lick because why is this not my stop for the shorts I'm already on off of this event or up here technically I still could go short that event too right if this comes here here here I would get a better entry point price too so we'll see if this does and the zone drawing bookmap bubble let us know actually did this already retest it already did so this is a little variation I don't want to get short this amount right because this did not violate to the upside to disqualify we always default to the most recent event so if this event were to prove bullish well I can't go short off of that amount but this retest of this prior zone is in effect so I can actually go short at that price which would be that comes back actually I should have already been filled so I may get unlucky here so if you want to just leave it but that's a variation right I mean you can save yourself probably 8 points there so I should I actually should have been filled there so I may get away with something here so I don't have barking lick on yet so if it comes back off of this zone I'll put on those shorts as well I'm already short two things and again I'm fully aware of the pain I'm going to go through being short these markets so let's just take a look up mag 7 is starting to turn up and it was at its lows we'll go over hero 2 here short this is so that that's a big move and you can see these flows are meaning there's extra extra options activity coming in and we say a billion notional move in options so what am I looking at here this is spot gamma this is the hero indicator this is showing me options activity these options dealers are a big player in the markets why because they get up with options so people are selling buying puts or selling calls these dealers get loaded up they got to turn around and sell the futures to hedge themselves they are big players some days they're the only game in town other days they're not but they are an important part of the market so you can see today look at what the market's doing it's basically following what hero is doing right hero did that the market did that hero did that the market did that so it's important to keep an eye on what's going on here you can come with trading strategies do this alone right so how does that help you well it's just like a market it's going like this but you're going to see a lot of times we saw a couple more than a couple of times I think this is I might have talked about it last week where hero did one of these so the green or whatever color this line as I'm color blind hero dropped notional it was like that day it was like two billion and he asked what's that here and I'm like I'm telling my room something's up here because you know the options dealers have to hedge so they're unloading the market and the market's not responding so that's a divergence right so you're like okay something's up here when this hero does finally turn back up this thing should rip off the page and it's exactly what happened right so yeah you can't really guess what's going to happen just like you can't guess what's going to happen with the markets but you can watch this thing to kind of understand if anything understand what's happening like right here this thing's ripping right but what you want to pay attention to a lot of times like I said say this rips and all of a sudden this starts going the other way you're like oh okay that's going that way and I know the dealers are buying and then if this starts to turn over then you get even more pronounce move right so this is an awesome tool to have because it's what's happening in the market very important not a line on a chart what's happening in the market kind of like our volume events right so I'm long crude beans that's not I'm about to get stopped out of here where is my stop on this I'm hoping I put my stop in so I get on these webinars and then I start looking at those in the markets then I forget stuff and then I look over and I should have already been on that yep of course at least I caught it hold on what's my exit price here I got double size on this wheat short I mean this beans short too let's see what my stop off price was supposed to be I can't tell you how many times I make these mistakes so because I'm on these webinars so my stop is supposed to be 87.75 basically right here Birk and Lick on too so this is going to be a painful trade so we'll go over why it was I mean I'll still put on double size shorts but this one's not going to work looks like I should already been stopped out but it comes back to 75 I'm out so this market why I did double size is this looks like it's going to get killed you got I mean you got smaller break out breakdowns breakdown the bigger one breakdown through the high volume note this is the exact same strategy I was just talking about in crude going the other way this market again I may get stopped out of this one if I get a new event I'm going to load right back up short this is what trading is it is probabilities this one may lose does it mean the strategy doesn't work does it mean my thesis is wrong no it means every trade doesn't work if it was that easy everyone would do it it's like you got to understand trading is probabilities so once again you need to have well you need the course but you need to have this tattoo to your forehead I can find it where is it at can't find it if you can't accept this you can't be a trader period there's no sugar coating it you're not going to make it stop wasting your time go work for the man that's all I got to tell you right you got to accept this and you got to accept most days trading are going to look like this you make a little you lose a little this is what this has been lately right and then you have the monster day and it's back to this most great traders profitable traders have 5-10 monster days in a year and it makes up their almost their entire P&L what did I just fill on oh I stopped okay I stopped out of this is why I got on the subject right I just stopped out of savings I was a loser learned to trade and that's like a casino so the casino has a whale sit down and he waxes them for a million dollars well they do kick the guy out most of the time for counting cards on every blackjack table in the casino no they know the mass on their side aka edge they keep dealing the damn cards keep putting on the trade the biggest thing is you need an edge and you need to know it's an edge that's where traders have the biggest problem they think something works they try it it works for a week and it starts to lose and then they abandon it because it's not a real edge I can promise you with everything inside me what we're doing what we're looking at here I'm not doing anything I'm just using my opinion what's happening this is what's really happening in the market I'm just adjusting what's happening in the market or adapting this is the edge I will go to my grave saying this is the best edge I have personally ever seen in 25 years of trading so I don't have to question my edge what I need to make sure is I don't become an idiot and start skipping trades because it doesn't feel right or take four losses in a row and don't put on trades because of that that's where traders screw up their edge if you know you have an edge and I can promise you that's the best edge you can ever see in my opinion then you just trade the edge like a casino and if you can understand that and internalize that you will very likely become a profitable trader anything can happen you don't need to know or do you know this is straight out of trading the zone by the way I added this part or do you know what is going to happen next in order to make money you don't you see your edge and you put the trade on hey look at this there's a random distribution what's that well that would be this loser right here this is a random distribution of my edge that lost big deal there's about probably 20 more today alone I'm not necessarily in this one market but I'm watching 20 markets right so loser trust me if I get another one I'm right back in the trade and there's going to be another setup in there and I'll be waiting in the wings so again and then the rest there's a random distribution between wins and losses you are not going to put on every trade you put on is not going to be a winner yeah most people obviously it's common sense but people just can't they don't internalize that every trade they put on they think it's going to be a winner or they're skipping trades because it doesn't feel right it doesn't you don't know what's going to happen next you've got to put them all on because you don't know what's going to happen right and that's just nothing more than an indication of a higher probability is that 100% no I had another rant there I was going to get I can't remember what I was going to say every moment of the market is unique so even though you see something work 25 times in a row it doesn't mean the next time you see the same thing it's going to work that's what that means and then there you go learn the edge trade the edge like a casino and then he actually has an exercise where you can test your stuff so we did this this is how we came up with the reversion trade in my room we did it live in my room last actually it was a year and a half ago now I said okay let's do this because every webinar for the last 7 years I would say the propensity of these markets to come back to these events I said why don't we have why do I keep saying it's 70% chance for this to come back in my opinion from my experience why don't I have a trade for that and then that's how we came up we came up with this reversion trade the one, two, the three reversion trade to do this exercise you can do this with any edge you think you have do it and follow it straight out of trading in the zone get the book awesome that's all you really need stopped out of beans oh so I didn't even hear this right so what can I do now I'm long crew so did I say wow this is working great I'm going to travel my stop to break even right there's even people in my room that were doing that that are not doing anymore because they got a verbal lashing for like 3 weeks straight you can do whatever you want guys it's your money but if you this is what these algos are built for you trail your stop to break even you have a probably a 90% chance of getting stopped out right yeah temperature in the time it'll rip I trail my stop to something that actually happened in the market so now so my stop was way down here let's just see where that was I think I put this in to tell you the truth I didn't even put my stop in which is not smart but it doesn't matter now because I'm going to move it it was down here what's this that's a new event where's my stop all the way up here so I'm basically going to scratch this try I'm only going to look at this if this comes back I'm going to lose 20 texts right so now before I even put my stop in let's try to judge as this thing rips off the page and this is filling I'm double size here because this was my thesis right hold on let's see where we're at here we're almost at red luck so I put on pick what did I put on picking Izzy you got to look here what did I put on there I put on pick what was the other trade I forgot alright so anyway I'm watching this red lug closely and we're going to hopefully real time we're going to watch how I'm going to judge these lugs are ridiculously powerful I can show you 15 examples just from the last two days of markets bouncing off these things right so I don't mess around if it struggles at all here I'm out of this trade right for now there's another event right around the corner I will judge though as it comes up here if it's going to blow through how can I do that the best of my ability I'm going to watch relative volume so relative volume is really nothing right now right so that means the big money's not and you can see here there's my double size longs there's my sweep stop out in soybeans so anyway double long there and then there's my gold trade that I put on anyway I'm watching relative volume when it gets up there that's number one and then I'm going to use market pulse so this is other stuff I put it on my other computer because I just have I'm watching too many markets and it's freezing up and I was doing copies and it's freezing up my book map so I put it on this book map I got two of them here so this I'll watch this closely so this is so on this one I've got right so these are the order this is the order book games here so this is so market pulse is basically tick strike so this is tick strike so I've used tick strike for like 15 years right this is telling me based on a 1 to 15 ranking the size and speed of the orders coming in right I have mine set at 11 so this will not make a noise or fire off unless it's 11 or higher right so I watch all these these are all the thing or whatever they call them they'll meta and then here's the futures just for the stocks and then I have the sample ones here's the crude one right so anyway market pulse is basically tick strike on steroids right so and they've just gone above and beyond I reckon I asked them for something like this two years ago and they built it for me literally and I am the reason market pulse exists but I am not the reason that they do what they have done with it and it's unbelievable you have all guys I keep telling you book map is like having your own trading firm working for you and with developers that keep coming to you with new things right so again when I was at King Street trading I was just flipping orders in the order book I didn't even have charts up there was no algo anything back then really not even algos that's why I made so much money I would trade off that well after I you know went from millionaire to zero hero to zero then I started to try to change my strategy because the scalping didn't work anymore right and there's I don't want to get into these stories but there's a saying out there there's nothing worse than having money and then losing it or having money and losing it is ten times worse than never having money at all why because you know what it feels like to be rich and then when you're not it's not so fun when you're just poor like you don't know you don't know what that feels like right and I mean I laugh at it but that's not it is and trust me I've gone through the ringer that's another great thing about my story guys I'm not in here flashing Lamborghinis and all this other crap saying what a great trader am I am saying I do have a lot of experience but I am you know and I'm trading for myself now right back then I had a firm behind me but it should be refreshing and it should give you guys confidence that someone like me would have right making millions of dollars and then can't make a dollar and then literally watching your whole life go like that because you don't have any more money coming in it should be a testament to what I'm trying to teach you that it can be done that you can get back you can do this if I'm back in the game see what I'm saying so that's my story I'm a real person I don't I tell you like it is I you know my room sees it every day like I emotional I go on tell stuff like that so everything's real about me I don't claim to be a multi-million dollar trader I'm on my way back and I we just actually sign on with the trading firm for the reversion trade the point is when you're trading your own money you know I can't put on this huge size right and especially all the mistakes and making the webinars and everything else I'm not getting into that point is I'm a real person what I want you to take from this is if I can go through what I went through and then take book map and this information book map gives me and make my way back you can do it you can not that you have to but if you're just starting not trading you can do it too this is the whole point right so I ran but anyway here's the here are the algos so they have all these other algos and like I said it's like having a trading firm behind you so for this one I'm using the main ones I use are volume pressure imbalance that's showing me actually traded volume we'll go over that and then the two that are not traded volume are just the algogames order book pressure price change so on this chart I have order book pressure so you can see here what does that mean that's the gains that are going on here and anybody that's for all you guys that keep emailing me asking about trading off the dome you are wasting your time you can use this to understand what's going here right but if you're trying to watch these these orders and you can see this liquidity right here but if you're just trying to watch these orders and make sense of it good luck guys this is how I made $15 million in three years trading off this you don't think I want to make six months three years again well why would I not be doing it again because it can't be done I'm not saying I am saying you can't do it I want to see some results for six months to a year that you just stared at an order book and you were able to make money in any market why because the algos are too fast I was one of the fastest clickers in the world right at one point and I got knocked out of the game because of the damn algos right so stop wasting your time trying to make sense of this the heat map is showing you the order book anyway the order book orders and then the order book pressure shows you the games that's going on here so what am I getting at here so you can see here what they're trying to do with the games you can judge if the market's responding to their games or not so you can see here by the way this is a retest wow this is a this is a rare occurrence I don't know if you guys have seen this before when the market puts in a volume of that and then it comes it goes in ATR and comes back there you go there's a reversion trade right back to the zone so anyway this does this to this I'm going to put on Barks and Licks as well and I'm going to put on double size anyway back to the order book games so here this is showing me I don't know why it's not populating here order book pressure 98% so meaning in this instance they were beefing up they weren't really pulling bids the best is when they're pulling they're putting in bids and pulling offers well how does that help you if it's not really trading volume because it's open they beef up the bids and you see the buyer this is showing you market buying then you know okay somebody really wants to buy here and the order book games are working so this is back to why I brought this up so they say this gets up to this red lug up here very important area in resistance area that I will get out at I will judge so say it comes up here and an order book game starts happening say they do the same thing where they beef up the bids and they start pulling offers say it just sits here I'm going to be like okay something's up they should be someone should be panicking here and trying to grab offers because they're pulling them no one's doing that I'm out I showed some good examples of that yesterday in my trade room anyway well hopefully we can do this real time we'll watch this closely I want to change this color too so this one is the come on okay let me go to this this mouse here this is so I changed mine to yellow and black because I'm colored but I can't even tell what color this is so this is a sellers this is just a black so there's four different options here when it's above so when it's above the zero line it means they're putting in offers for the negative hold on so I have these at black right because this is incredible and everything works together right most times when you're adding another indicator you get all this conflicting information and you're like you don't know you can't pull the trigger right that's what most traders do they think the more stuff they put on their charts the better they're right so you can see here in this instance I could have actually maybe got out of some here just by how this responded so right here what did they do this is not traded volume this is order booking they beeped up the offers and the market responded someone's like oh crap someone wants to sell I got to jump in front of them and sell right so how does that help you well say the same thing happened here and they beeped up the offers and the market did nothing and started going up that's telling you that's what happens but you can see why the market's responding what it does and this is probably a price change I'll go up here too I don't appreciate this coming back this far but this is what it is let's see what happened up here here's the price change I'll go right this is the other one let me turn this one off this is the order book pressure turn that off for a second here's the price change so you can see every time this thing even if it's fleeting it does respond right big price change here's the pullback big price change here's your pullback this one keep it going that means this is telling me bigger money is in here so guys you can scalp off this but there's going to be times that it keeps price changing this is a price change for 100 ticks right so be careful trying to scalp off it but this is giving me information now some of these price change are trying to do this and it keeps going down so somebody's kind of unloading on this right now does that affect my trade not necessarily right here I mean my stops in my trades on if this comes back actually stops not in I got to get it in right now my stops right here 82 34 put that in before I get a screw job and miss the trade it was at 15 now I'm moving up to 34 83 so if this does come back I'm going to take a small loss because I was able to trail my stop to this and that I mean I got multiple positions on here so let me guys you got questions throw them in the room if you don't have questions or something wrong right there's no way unless you're a part of my room and you know what I'm talking about you've got to have questions I can't see you watching the fire hose that I'm spring at your face and and you not and you not having questions about it alright CS is dead to me right now of course I got stopped out to the tick and it's still continuing lower and that's the way it goes in trading sometimes but like I said if I get a new event I am going to trade double size alright I'm still short NASDAQ I'm going to refer to it as a nice name to bring me over but still I'm still short what did this do wow this is really surprising I can't believe it stalled at these prior events I'm being sarcastic half of my talk sarcasm by the way in case you don't know me so I got Barks and Licks working here too I'm already short picking Izzy I'm putting on Barks and Licks I'm watching this to go to zero hopefully today see if that finger swiped to zero shocked the world that would be awesome I always joke about it but if the thing goes to zero that probably means there's a nuclear war there's a dollar there's a tree you're not going to be able to spend it alright so the cold's coming back too and what did I what mistake did I just make here what did I just talk about guys see this is the problem when I it's not a problem you know I like to do these webinars but this is the issue when I'm on these webinars what did I just miss here I just missed 35 ticks a profit I was going to get out a half up here what's this hey look at that wow I can't believe it responded to that prior event I just gave back 35 ticks of this trade I'm giving myself enough on that because I just talked about it I talked to Barzini movie got a gold star if you know it that's upsetting guys that's really upsetting because I have about five positions on in gold between my personal accounts and then my Apex stuff hey what do you know you know a log too so this is my guys I should have just put a resting ordering because I know better when I'm on these webinars I should have been out you had prior event and you know a log I should have been on it after so see this is the kind of stuff where I start to get upset and then I start to go on tilt so I've got to make sure especially on webinars I don't embarrass myself and go on tilt I'm going to get a couple of these I'm going to cost myself 35 ticks so you see I just got done talking about all my experience blah blah blah blah blah blah and I still make stupid mistakes right some of these it's fine if I wasn't watching it and I'm like oh I should have been out there I just talked about it and I didn't get out of the end trade I wasn't sure what I'm doing here was I supposed to be long bark and lick there too it doesn't matter so if this comes I'm still going to do this right this would be really surprising I did it by the way not here's your 3ATR entry or one of these is anyway if this does this this this I only have Izzy on there I'll put on barks and licks too this is the other great thing it's not great it sucks when this happens but look at the algos in here first of all right it's whipsawing you to death but I expect this to retest this zone we have a trade waiting for that to happen so why would I be surprised if that did that I'm not surprised right just like I'm not surprised it didn't include if you know what what's happening in here you're not shocked yeah it doesn't feel good but I'm not surprised this did what it did because that's all it ever does right that's why we have trades for it it's just good to know at least and when you're using the price change algos and the order book algos it's just good refreshing even if you're not trading off of it it's refreshing to understand why the market it's doing what it's doing so you don't take it personally and that is my biggest fault it's always been my biggest fault and I told it's not really a fault because back in the day you guys all heard my story a million times I used to go head to head with a dude every day he was at a trading firm and he was like double the size I can put on and every day I would be head to head with him and he would could see and back then you can see counterparting and he'd see how many I could put on and he'd see I'd be loaded up and he'd run it in my face and I'd have to puke out and lose like 300 grand then I would try to leave the trading firm to go kill him and that actually happened one time for real you guys heard that story but the point is what was I not can't remember my point I hate getting on those stories because I go back into PTSD mode never how I was getting that it was good and I forgot it I'm sure I'll remember here in a second why was I saying that alright so let's get you guys any questions I'll try to remember what I was going to say James Scott you have a setup called Dumb and Dumber have you seen a play out today I still try to understand Dumb and Dumber is just a stop run yeah this is a Dumb and Dumber right here James right what's a Dumb and Dumber that's this it's like the same way into my course because it's kind of important of course I lost it I'm going to go over that sheet too of everything I'm using by the way thanks for the question James that's this one of the six setups right here Dumb and Dumber number one Dumb and Dumber is a stop run so you've got to realize most stop runs are retail traders why? the big money uses like these algos to like piece out of their trade they don't just dump orders in the order book very often right guys I know all this because I was at a trading firm I was at two different trading firms right I was at King Street and Wolverine Trading Wolverine Trading was like Bookmap they would literally have a developer come up to me once a week and say hey we got this new tool you want to try it out it's the same with Bookmap that's why Bookmap is so incredible just from that standpoint every other week they're coming out with it just makes trading better and better and better as far as being able to see what the hell's going on in here anyway a Dumb and Dumber is a stop run aka Dumb Money Retail Trader I'm Dumb Money too I'm a retail trader that is not informed money that is not initiative selling so inherently it's a fade type of trade because most of the time it fails because it's not real selling it's not big money hammer in the order book it's retail trader's puke big money is actually trying to get the retail trader puke so they can get long here and then it does that so a Dumb and Dumber is a Dumb Money puke rejection so I look for Dumb and Dumbers in important areas or an ATR retest confirmed so I'll trade this Dumb and Dumber area if it does this this this we've already talked about this but that's a Dumb and Dumber James that's not clear let me know Grumpy says Grumpy's actually part of my trademark are you using order book pressure or imbalance I'm using order book pressure what's the difference I don't have it on this chart order any imbalance you see here is just showing you it's the net net it's the delta right it's buying and selling combined you can have imbalance that's I mean yeah you can have imbalance for any of these I do use the imbalance for volume pressure so you can either have it you see there's two options you can have it where it splits out buyers and sellers or combines it that's all of this imbalance is combining it so for the order book I want to see it I don't want to see it combined this is my personal preference you want to combine it combine it I want to see see if they're playing any games down here I would prefer I would really appreciate if they would play some buying games that's the order book pressure so what's going on down here so I have it split out so it's showing me separately so first of all this is actually hopefully if this can get out of here I think we'll make another run up why just from watching what they're doing here so they came down what did they do they pulled bids right if the I have mine set it yellow if it's below the zero line they're pulling bids the market didn't really I mean it went down a little bit but it didn't really react and then what are they doing now they're pulling offers and actually you see that big blue bubble so to me right now whatever way this breaks out here just from looking at the games here is probably going to elicit some kind of move right because if it moves lower the last thing that happened is they pulled offers well it didn't respond and it's probably going to move lower this is how you can piece out some of your trade on the flip side they pulled bids here yeah pulled bids and it didn't really go down so it's getting out of here now I think we're going to now make another move up just based on what I just went over there but anyway and balance just means you're combining the two that's it volume pressure and for the volume pressure that's this out though and this all this is showing this is the only one I changed the rest of them are defaults the only one I change is this one this is showing me the most buying or selling in the last hour right so I show this every week I try to you go over here get out of these widgets so I can find the damn thing go here right just look at weed they're all the same right so you're here you go here it's set to five minutes default I move it to an hour for the price change in the order book it's set for five minutes I leave it at five minutes you can change that you can this is the whole point this is customizable right you can if you've got a better method let me know like I said at the start of the webinar about the book map the book map academy right where they talk I think they do it I don't damn what do they do is it every day anyway you can come up with new things right just take what I'm telling you and then add some stuff and learn there oh by the way look what happened here just from order book pressure games I had a feeling that was going to happen not a feeling I was just watching what was going on so anyway the other one is market pressure and balance so you can see how the market responded here too as this is what I keep trying to tell you an area doesn't mean anything unless there's actual volume occurring there and if you know how to understand what's happening in the volume there's your edge look what happened here this was the most buying one of the most buying you see the yellow spike I mean it was over 70% I have that at default you can move it to 90% or whatever you want to make it in the last hour this is the volume pressure and balance that was that wow look where that market stopped at right where that area came in surprise, surprise why? because sellers got ran over there and whoever held their breath that comes back they're like please let me out right that's the games that's what ATR retest is to for the buying events so I hope you guys are starting to see a little bit about like I said even if you're not trading off the order book or the price change at least you can understand why the market's doing what it's doing instead of thinking oh that's why I always got in the tangent because I said how I take things very personally because when back then it was personal I was trading head to head with the dude that was trying to blow me out and he did it right? I did blow out eventually so that's why I take things personally but I have to realize these markets are not personally against me that's my weakness I've always been like that I'm very competitive but I know when I know that's one of my biggest faults my room hears it all the time I always say there's a camera behind me like most traders say the same thing but it feels real it really does but if you start watching those games it at least gets that burden off of you like oh my God here we go they know what I'm doing blah blah blah you can go down that rabbit hole and never come out take it from me alright what the hell's going on in equity hey I can't believe equity is just stop trading and I'm doing nothing like every single day it's been very frustrating like I said right so you gotta you just gotta realize this is the environment we're in right don't blow out trying to make something happen when it just does this 90% of the time and then you get one blip and then back to that you get one blip and then back to that very frustrating you lose your account percentage for the day like we talked about earlier 5-6% you just say uncle you win again I'll be back tomorrow and then you keep just trading and then you have the day where you crush it then back and forth back and forth back and forth that's just the way trading is you've got I say this every week too you've got these newbies that come in here I just want to make $500 a day I think I can make $500 a day yeah you can average $500 a day you're not going to make $500 a day every day it's not going to happen ever it's just it's inherent in trading you're not every day is not going to be a winning day yeah you can go on streaks weeks months every day is not going to be a winning day so don't think this is a job where you get paid every day it's just not you have no questions you're going to have Academy House weekly meetings at 4pm Eastern every day guys if you combine what you're learning from me there's other educators on there too I'm sure they've got some gems I probably need to watch more of them right I don't claim to know at all I claim to know what I know from my experience I'm always open to seeing new things every time Bruce talks I'm like my ears are pricked like oh I never thought of that aspect watch some of my webinars a bunch of webinars I've done with Bruce where I'm just like I'm learning the new stuff right what you don't want to do is get all this conflicting information where you get frozen and can't pull the trigger so I might want to watch gold since I it's already screwed up to exit the first time there we are it's back here again I already got out of some but if this starts to fail here now right here we'll use this I'll bring it up on that I think I have it on this I'll bring it up on here so we can watch it so I don't have to switch between computers alright let's just do it real quick I can't believe it's failing up here again go to market pulse hit create so the price change out of go start that puppy up I'm using default I just start it up hit create again I'm going to use order book not in balance because I don't want to see net I want to see buyers and sellers that's this is all default I do nothing with this hit play now this will load too the other thing too is you can load they change this you got to make sure because you're going to see it's going to start from now which is fine for me but you can load back I'm going to load three hours apply then it will populate I wish they would do that for the SI indicator the SI indicator is just so much data that's why you don't when you like close out your book map and start it back up you don't see the prior stuff it's just it's a million you can see it on here the best one to look at is ES because it's pretty incredible what they can compute look at this thing watch watch when I go to the just this is just one indicator look at this look how many updates they had 1.7 million updates and counting so that's why they can't show you all the data they would have to have servers the size of a of a small country right so maybe one day they'll have it where you can set it like that but at least you can get it with the book map alright so my my short I'm just being tortured here but it's not still struggling at this zone so we'll see the thing you really want to probably start especially this time of day here will probably start dominating more now because you know between the 10 10 and 12 you're at 1030 this is where literally back in the day when I was scalping I would physically remove myself from the office so I wouldn't trade at this period this is and it's all products it continues to this day between 10 and 12 10 and 12 30 ish central you are just asking for trouble so if you're smart there's actually some traders in my room what am I looking for here oh the hero there's some traders in my room that have learned and they get up they looked at their traders sink that's another thing you can use so let's go over the stuff real quick guys the whole point is unless you have trade on you know do your best not to initiate trades between 10 10 30 and 12 30 would be in that call but anyway go here use this you get all this stuff and we'll go over this is all in the spreadsheet there in that document this you get discounts to that too there's my little code you gotta just click on you get discounts anyway I guarantee you start tracking your trades I will promise you between 10 and 12 30 over a long sample size will not be winning trades for you so let's hurry up and go over this order book so I can get out some more of these if this thing struggles let's turn off so this is good to watch because you're going to watch me adjusted to here's the order book pressure so I just want to see what's going on there so you can see here this is the buyers the buying games this is not even real traded volume this is the games the order books playing let's change that to yellow so there's four options for each of these buying and selling I mean the buyers and sellers when it's the buyers when it's above the zero line the buyers when it's below the zero line so I'm going to change both of these so two options there I want that sorry I want that yellow because it's showing me buyers right and then I want to change what the sellers looks like I changed mine to black because I just I'm color blind I can't see these I can barely even see this color on the background that's how bad it is for me colors I've got to change this too so there's four options buying and selling above and below the zero line I mean buying and buying above and below the zero line and selling and selling above and below the zero line four options so we change both of those there we go so what's going on up here I'm going to get out of more here why what's happening right here just order book this is showing you nothing but the games right here what did they do here they beefed up the bid because it's above the zero line that's great that's great for my long they kept doing it let's see here nothing's really happening here but the point is they did it the market responded but now it didn't it didn't really respond it responded a couple of ticks now it's below here and I know this is that prior event I'm going to get out of some more right and I know this is yellow love too right here it's struggling here I'm going to get out of a couple more hold on this is how you can use real-time information in your trading all I have is the easy one right here so I had I had 10 on I had 5 I'm going to get out of 2 more I'll still have 3 on that's number yeah this is easy so I had double size on right so I saw a position on and I'm adjusting to an area and how the market's reacting with the order book games and obviously we'll look at the volume pressure and balance too alright just have a couple left above so I'm okay with that alright so that's the first out of Don traded volume that you can use to judge alright we got something in ES I can't believe these markets are a bunch of jumping rallying that's really surprising I don't think I've ever seen that before except for non-stop every single day I'll look at the price change I'll go up here I don't need to load yeah I'll load it just to show you watch over here if you want to load prior move this historical data and let's just so I'll just show you how many times this thing this is algo it's just running your ragged watch this when this loads this is just price change what's price change when the market moves too far too fast they hammer it the other way look at this I mean look at this it's nuts like I said when the big money comes in and I'm sure they have this factor into their P&L they play their games the big money comes in they get run over but then it's back to this so 5 to 10% of the time it's big money in here the rest of the time it's Christmas tree aka algo is doing that to you so look at this so this one the big you can tell if it just hangs up here yeah these algos are trying to snap it back they got a little bit that means big money's coming in right same with here but then when they're done then it starts to play the games price change snap back price change snap price change snap price change snap this one kept going a little bit right so yeah you could scalp off this if you're going to scalp this is what you need to be looking at that's an order of pressure in my opinion and volume pressure and balance other than that and then you can see there's another one and there's one coming in right here right I'll bet you it does that if it doesn't then there's someone a bigger player in here hitting it harder but that's the point like it does this most of the time that you will get these obviously right and then it's back to that so even if I'm not trading and I understand if I'm long this market I'm like oh here's a price change that's why I have to go through this torture oh here's a price change that's why I have to go through this torture right you know what's going on we're out of time too I went Bitcoin what does that mean I've watched Bitcoin there hasn't you'll hear there's an event the zone drawer tool works for this too I'm going to go over that document real quick before we go so you guys can see everything I'm using my threshold for that I've noticed that I'm playing Bitcoin I know it seems like a small amount but it's really not not on Notional what's that one-point-two billion or more than $1.2 million Anyway there's been nothing it may have rolled too I gotta check this this may be you know I gotta do here if you wanna check the role and you go over here Sammy Crypto and you just click on to see if there's more volume in the next month this may have already rolled and see if I can find the damn quote here we go yeah see this has wrote that's why I'm not getting votes. See that? So I'm on March. That's why I haven't got any events. I haven't got any events because it's not, this is the front one, I gotta change it. But anyway, it's changed trades just like any other market as far as the events and then the hour responds. Keep an eye on it and I recommend you guys have an edge. Whoever's on this webinar, you know you can use the futures to trade the cash, get in that bookmap crypto. Posted earlier, this thing. Get in this and use the SI indicator and you can get the zone drawing tool and it draws it for you and announces it to you. So quickly, this is my stuff. So I posted in the, it's already posted in the room. Nice if I can find it. Here we go. Quickly. Drawing, zone drawing tool. You get this, if you get the basic, you're just gonna get the basic at first. I will send you an email. If I don't, let me know and I'll send you the, here's the videos on them too. Here's my course. Talked about that 85 times a day. Here's the flexion zones and the spreadsheet. If you come to my room, you get it for free. If you want to get the subscription, you can't get in the room. There it is. My website, my email, my Twitter. Here's my trade room. If you want to join that, I do what you're seeing today. I do every day twice a day. Lately, it's only been once a day because there's never any trade in the afternoon. It's horrendous. And here's all the discounts that you can get for everything I'm using. Bookmap. The MBA, my email bundle. Here's Apex. We didn't even get into Apex. This is definitely want to be using this. If you're practicing, practice, not a game, practice, right? That's what I use for these trading strategies. I've been using for over two years. They do everything they say they're gonna do. Plenty of people I haven't paid out in multiple accounts. Plenty of, again, they have their own Discord channel. If they're not paying, you're gonna know. Use this code for any discount they have right now. It's 80% off. We'll see any 50 for anything they got going. Highly recommend it. We really didn't get into that. There's no reason, especially if you're learning, like what I'm doing or something new. Don't risk your own money. Use those. You got to put something down. It's like 60 bucks right now for the $150,000 account. It's 60 bucks. And if you do well, then you're funded.

Ludwig Levels. Second most important thing. Our powerful thing and important that I've ever seen. We didn't really get into all the different strategies and stuff, but you can join, get the three-day free trial, and you'll see yourself in a couple hours. You'll be like, oh my god, this thing's ridiculous. Anyway, that's special pricing. Say you were on the Book Lab webinar, and then here's my reviews. There's one Jackass in here that got mad that I didn't kiss his ass when he was asking me something and then he was a complete idiot, and he got mad, so he left me a bad review. That was about the only one that's bad. So, guys, a complete moron. I'm not even getting that. All right. Have a great week. I will see you guys next Thursday. Any questions, you can email me too. Thanks.
