 Okay. See if you can hear me over two buttons. If it's streaming. If you can hear me over two buttons. Okay. We're all set. All right. Well, welcome everybody to the BookMap Academy coaching and mentoring session. We're doing this every Thursday. And the goal here is to onboard you guys to become much, much, much better traders through coaching, mentoring, feedback and journaling. It's free. It's a part of the BookMap subscription. And let me show you some of the details here from the BookMap Academy page. If you just go to bookmap.com and you click on the more button here and you go to BookMap Academy under the community here. Okay, so you can read through it here. There's a whole onboarding process here that starts with applying for the BookMap Junior Academy. If your content is good and your journaling is good, we give feedback back on it. If it is good, then you will be invited to the BookMap Junior Academy. And that is a proving ground there. In that area or in that step of the membership, if you create good content, good quality content, as well as meet the quota of just one piece of content per trading day, then you will be invited to the BookMap Academy. That's step two here. In step two, you can get BookMap for free here. So that's included with it. This is a bonus. We're happy to extend this to you. You've put in the work to become a good trader. You're creating great content. It's helping others. It's helping yourself. It's helping us. Great. We'll be very happy to reduce your trading costs by subsidizing BookMap for you. If you double that content quota, if you do two images per day, and it's not asking for much, just mark up your images. It's got to be quality, though. And then you'll get the MBO bundle or another equal add-on for free as well. Note that you guys also get on all stages in here. You just need to apply. You'll get access to up-and-coming products such as the market polls right now. It's in beta phase. You get it for free. It's included. So join the academy and get these things for free. Hone your skills along the way. Meet other like-minded traders and get better through the journaling process. If you get really good through the BookMap Academy here in your journaling, then the next step is a coach. You'll turn back to some of the BookMap Junior Academy members and guide them a bit. And if you do that, you'll not only get BookMap and MBO bundle for free, you can also get the data for free. The next step after that is become a BookMap Academy streamer. That's where you can stream live, and you'll get everything plus additional incentives. And we have three different traders already who have made it through all the way up to BookMap Streamer. We've got Doug Pless, Moby, and Tom B. All came from the BookMap Academy. So we're building an internal team, and that is the goal here, to help you guys along the process. And then not only give feedback, but also help you with the costs of trading, and we're happy to do it. So that's the goal. And we're going to go through the coaching in just a second, and we'll have a Q&A. If needed, the disclosures, I need to quickly go through this. General disclosure, all BookMap limited materials, information, and presentations are for educational purposes only and should not be considered specific investment advice nor recommendations. Risk disclosure, trading futures, equities, and digital currencies involve substantial risk of loss, and it's not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. All right, so let's move on. And first we're going to go through Coach Slowdown's content and feedback here. So he has a list here. He's got feedback for five different traders here. You might see your name here on the list, so get ready. We will open the mic and you guys can comment on this or ask questions about some of the feedback. All right, so I'm going to go through it here. AJ's first up, and you can see that Slowdown here is very much likes your work. AJ, fantastic work and attention to detail. He likes how much information you coherently put into one picture. He says, honestly, he doesn't really have much a series of recommendations for this example, but instead wanted to publicly highlight what strong work you are doing and perhaps it might inspire others. So his notes are here, but they are also here on the chart. So let's just open up the chart and start to go through it. Here you have a head and shoulders pattern up here, and then here's some of Slowdown's commentary here. The imbalance of liquidity on the bid versus the ask. While buyers are pushing us higher, they are not really supporting the bid in a meaningful way. The liquidity stays in the book at the higher timeframe location and then also added putting downward pressure on price. So this is the liquidity that he's talking about up in here, and as you can see this kind of back and forth pattern in here, which finally is what creates the head and shoulders pattern. The liquidity here added on the bid right in here, I believe that's what he's referring to is hammered and with sellers going right through it there. And then it immediately kind of flips back over. As you can see in pretty aggressively, you know, in some of these areas here. So that's that's another thing to note in here. It would be an area where confidence of the shorts increases is exactly where you've outlined your entry. So fantastic read. So if we we look in here and the back and forth pattern that you're reading and the liquidity within the structure and also the volume within the structure. So kind of equal high here. Lower low, lower high. You're talking about liquidity. And then you're looking for your short entry here and in here. And the also the temporary liquidity in this area here. So and you're noting also the volume here so very concise and spot on. So, you know, you're capturing and understanding these three elements within the order flow and and looking for this kind of opportunity at these areas. Right. So let's move along in here. Comment number three. So we went through one and two really likes your exits here. So this was your short entry on that head and shoulder it looks like here. They're very clean clearly outlined in your exit model and they align with the front and running with liquidity that is currently being shown in the order book. Great confluence from the order flow to match your plan. All right, so let's take a look in here. It's a little hard to read, but see you get your short entry. Tons of sellers coming in pounding it lower and partial exit. Okay, fantastic down but below the swing in here. Because we don't know what's going to happen. We might get a pullback up into these areas here. So way to reduce some risk there. And you can see the selling was so strong the pullback is very shallow. You get another leg down and you do another partial exit and you have your reasons here. I mean, look at it's just nicely lined up with the some of the previous activity over here. Yeah, and also the resting liquidity that you're starting to call out. Another partial exit up in here. So you did not want to take the risk and of having this go against you at this point. And yeah, I totally I totally understand that they may buyers may come in here and really, you know, push it back up to exactly where your entry is. So is that can you hear me Bruce. Yes. Hey, I got my microphone working on the computer finally. Yeah, that that partial exit on the third was really just me getting kind of concerned that it might want to know impulse off of that VWAP in that area. So I kept that area kind of tight. Okay, okay. Do you want to why don't you take over here and talk us through your decision making. Yeah, sure. So, you know, from the day before you know my area interest I kind of map these levels that where inflection points are. And so I mentally I was kind of prepared for something potentially I didn't know what reaction but some reaction around 4767 to 4771. So that was the prior day rejection level on 1324. So now you know I'm looking at the price action saying that well we're revisiting that level. So something's going to happen either we're going to accelerate through it, or we're going to reject. So I really had no particular bias I just felt that you know from my analysis that was going to be a reaction level. And that being said, I could see that, you know, as a head and shoulders type pattern was starting to form in that area. And so I saw at at about 1130 that we started having on the footprint chart, you know, kind of sellers starting to really step in and right up there and those yellow yep right in that area you could see a stacked imbalance starting to form right in that area. So that really piqued exactly yep that really piqued my interest. And then I started seeing that well we're starting now to start rejecting that level and mapped at a great job of showing sort of where those liquidity levels were where it was being attracted to but it couldn't accelerate from which is that green arrow at three right there I could see that liquidity and then we had very weak buying so in a sense sort of buying exhaustion. So I started that with exhaustion print starting to form and anticipating that actually. And so, you know, I entered pretty aggressively at one level right there and then once I saw confirmation of a right shoulder being formed I just hit that level. So I kind of do a tiered entry model where I'll, you know, put one full ES contract and then I'll really go full size once, once I'm proven that my my thesis is being proven correct. My stop was kept just above that previous candle I think I kept my stop just above session high right there just a couple of ticks above it. And you'll see in my notes I put a time stop I've started to do that sort of over time where I expect my trade to work within like nine minutes or six minutes or, you know, 15 minutes depending on what the price action is doing so I keep on I keep an actual price stop but in my mind I try to keep a time stop also so I hope that makes sense. Yeah, tell us a little bit more about the time stop. So, as far as the time stop goes, it is subjective right it's kind of based on how the price action is doing that day. I mean if I'm seeing that. And here I said to myself, I expect my trade to start to work within nine minutes so I trade off of a three minute candle because I feel like, at least on the footprint that it gives me enough resolution but without too much noise. So I expect that my trade should work within three candles is essentially what I'm saying with my time stop. And if it starts to move against me within those three candles, then I have to kind of revise my thesis and take a step back. You know, I just noticed that when you're in a good trade, it's going to work quickly. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, great, great stuff. Also, you know, I like you can kind of compare over here a bit like with the footprint like you know you see this is where you got some insight in here. You got you got your exhaustion you got your exhaustion. You got your insight in here, but you know, here it is in here as well like it looks like the first one here is this one here. Right. Exactly. Yeah. So the buyers try it they try to press above it. What and look where the I mean you can't just make this stuff up. Exactly, Bruce and if you look look at that second my actual heavy short entry right there. I saw that liquidity lining up right above that red arrow right there that temporary liquidity. Yeah, yeah, all of that. And that's what made me feel fairly confident that it's time to hit hit it short go ahead and hit it short hard. Nice. That's what I did. And so I try to use the internal markers of the actual market structure as my entries and exits. So I kind of already had planned that well I want to be able to if I can get below VWAP I want to take some off and then if it's going to give me some acceleration more to the downside to that sort of internal range liquidity. So that second partial exit if you go and see it to the to the left of it. Yep, there you go. You can see a bottom being if you look directly left of it. I knew that there are going to be some stops in that area. Yeah, all the way left. Follow that line all the way left here. Actually, yep. So where you are there now go down to where I said did the partial exit down there. Second partial exit. Yeah, and then go directly left all the way left along the over here. Yeah, yeah, got you. Yeah, so I tend to use those landmarks to see if we're going to accelerate and I was expecting more acceleration beyond that. And that's why when it started to bounce back I took another partial exit, and then it did accelerate after that and so I stayed in the trade as long as I could. Essentially, nice, nice. Really great. I mean, you know, great read. And, and then also reducing the risk along the way in here. I've started to learn to really try to do that my one of my bad habits is I'll hold a trade too long Bruce. And so I've really started to force myself, you know, even if the trade goes exactly where I wanted to go, I have to take a partial exit off at at least one hour or two are, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fantastic. So the CVD, the CVD is phenomenal also because they give at least for me it gives price concordance versus discordance depending on the behavior of the CVD. You know, for example, if CVD is spiking down really hard but price is not confirming. Well, that's a useful kind of observation and vice versa. Right. So this is your confluence guiding you along the way. Exactly. Exactly. No, really, really great. One more comment here that slow down had for you. The exit model, you know, you have your observations in your notes in here. Love to see this kind of content impressive you held this for four, four hours and 15 minutes. Yeah, I mean, when I, when I hold, when I hold a trade and I'm right, or I at least the market is telling me price action is telling me I right. I mean, I will, I will hold it like what I did today off of CPI on the downswing and then on the upswing. I mean, it was a full day but was able to catch, you know, inflection points from the morning and then the late, late morning into the afternoon. So excellent. That's just how I tend to how I tend to trade. Oh, really, really nice stuff. I agree with a slow down 100%. Keep it up and would love to have you, you know, work your way up through book map Academy and a coach and etc. So that's great. No, that's really kind of you and I really appreciate the feedback and any feedback, any critical input is truly, truly appreciated. So I thank you all very much. Thank you, AJ. Let's move on to to Vinny. And try I'm I'm sorry guys I don't want to I don't want to we're going through some really good stuff. It's really high quality. I want to keep it going though and keep a temple going because I know it's end of the day and want to try to concisely go through this guy with you guys here. Let's see just a couple of comments before getting into the image of any. Oh, so yeah, please please also share in discord as well as you're showing it on Instagram, which is great. Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, any other social media is great keep keep doing it. Also, if you could just copy and paste it over into discord. It can be kind of hard to get some of the imagery at higher resolution. So that's just a good, good note from slow down here. Alright, so let go through it here. Interesting note and liquidity is stair stepping down within the context of the image. That alone would not be enough for him to go long at 4048 15 here. And then let's see we had a large quick move lower on heavy relative volume here. Okay, that's point to a point to coming down here. And I'm sorry here and let's see here. Let me go through this again so we had a large quick move. Lower on high or heavy relative volume here, create an imbalance and price is coming up to test it would like to see buyers hold a pullback above that level before taking a continuation entry the yellow liquidity added to the ask aligns with the start of the quick drop right so anyway the this kind of make or break point at which the price action in the screenshot in his opinion the test of the structure will be telling so it is an important area in here. But yeah he's talking about, you know, pushing lower on on the heavy volume. Okay, good. And then in this point in here coming back up and where is this going to go or you know is this enough in here for this to be an imbalance to push into and through. In the continuation on up. So I don't know how this turned out but you know that there's there's I think what slow down is getting at in here is starting to understand the more of the stair stepping this stair stepping in here and then in here. These are kind of a little further away from the price action. Yeah, it can affect the the order book for sure or it can affect price for sure. But it's usually it's when you get in a little closer in here and you start to see these imbalances, you really start to see how price reacts to that. Because yeah there's stair stepping here a little bit. I would agree. I don't know if that's quite enough. I mean we do see the volume does pick up. So that is good. And we can see a lack of volume in here. So there's potential here for these buyers to take it on. I don't know. I mean that this is this was a pretty quick drop. They are in control sellers in control from this point on. So I'm not sure what what ended up happening here. I don't know if you're here on the mic of any but my point would be really great observations you're starting to put these areas of liquidity into context along with the structure. Okay, so anyway, let's move on to where we and a few notes just to begin off the top here. Yeah, hover over your screenshot for the time axis. Let me show you like in book map when you when you hover over the screen here note in the bottom left hand corner. You get the date the time and you know wherever your mouse is you're going to get that that time so even you're going to be vote even if you hover over a dot here you will get the volume dot information. It is the same information that you would get in that lower left hand corner that would be here in the the tool tip. Right, so I just tried to try to capture that in your imagery. So we can get more insight. Try to capture the price. There's drives me crazy when people say hey what do you think of this and they take a screenshot and they don't include the price the the instrument, nor the time and I have no reference I have no context. It's like well in this, you know, image I guess you know you're looking forward to go up but I have nothing to base it off of. So yeah that's very would be very very helpful. Alright, so let's see here. Let's go back to. All right the notes. And let's make this bigger. Alright, number one slowdown says here. Good for you following your rules and holding yourself accountable with a 10 minute cooldown for breaking your rules and entering a trade based on emotions. So nice nice job there. The. Oh, there was also a comment in here about maybe more clearly kind of, you know, marking these up. It's not bad, but I've slowed down has a really good point about clarity and intention in your your journaling and your markups. You know, you will pay when you pay more attention or when you pay more attention to detail with your markups. You are paying a more attention and respecting the price as well, and you will get more out of it, and you will start to edit it as well. It's a really, really good point that he continues to bring up. Alright, so let's see that was point number one that you had mentioned over here point number two sellers do come in after buyers absorb into liquidity. Okay, let's go to point number two here. And then there's to a as well and to be to see. Alright, they absorb. Then we yet. However, we have yet to break the bottom of the distribution. Before we have trading into a you actually make note of this well as well as I think is still valid until it is broken. So a while point to be looks like an a plus short in hindsight, your initial obstacle in in the is the bottom of the range a break of that level happens quickly, but until it happens, we don't actually know. Also, look at the by delta leading right into the last test. That last test at 4805 in real time that could be a caution at to see. And so let's take a look here. So here, here you've got that absorption in here. You see this kind of a small break here. Then now you've got your level down here at to a and kind of bounces off that back up into here. And you get your break now your break isn't really you do have high liquidity coming down in this area here it's kind of after the fact the and then looking at the selling in here is not really all that clear. So I don't really see some big, big sell dots in here. Anyway, just wanted to quickly go through it and start to read a little bit clearer into your your order flow and that context between the elements. CMJ, let's go through his image in here. Okay, great example of trade management. We're sharing a small suggestion. Consider using text boxes on your image. As the yellow as the yellow without background is not the easiest to read and you have a lot of yellow on the chart. Right. Just a note on that. Let's take a quick look in here. Yeah, you got a lot of stuff going on in the chart here. All right. So, let's see Boris point number one. Okay, so yeah, you're trading within a defined range. Great. And looking at your volume profiles, low volume nodes, low volume node and then initial profit target scale is on the outside edge to the upside. You have defined risk within the likely trade scenario. Okay, so let's see you've got the back and forth in here entry on strong volume. It goes against you in here and you get to keep on getting a bounce in here. I got high liquidity in here buyers continue to go after it. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I don't I don't really I mean I see the volume in here is really good. The liquidity starting to step up a little bit in here, but the volume, the buyers take it on and your initial target is top of the range in here. Great. You take some off and reduce risk. That's fantastic to, you know, you don't know here. Maybe it comes up in here and fails and comes down and really blasts to the downside. It did exactly the opposite and you got a really nice exit up in here. I really like how you manage that trade up in here. I think that's what slow down had mentioned as well. How you are looking for, you know, reducing the risk you had your other target that you moved up here front running that high liquidity and then you see this other high liquidity coming in here. You move it down, you get filled. If you would have stayed up here, you would not have gotten filled. So you're actively managing it, which is really great. And you defined your range. So nice structure and order flow within the structure, but not only that, the trade management within that structure. Nice job, CMJ. All right. One more, Stephen. So first off, slow down mentions here. Tremendous progress and clarity in your work. Very impressive. Suggestions clearly mark your entry plus stop and target. I can see you've listed the prices at the left, but the feedback might change based on when you entered at the price. He's added his notes and highlighted the flag pattern. Oh, okay. So yeah, you put in the flag pattern in here, which is great. I'm guessing your entry and later in the image is based on your target and taking a stop. Just wanted to highlight the continuation pattern. Yeah. Really, really nice of slow down to do that and put that in here. This is something that I have found. You know, originally we came up with a setups checklist here. And this is great. You know, you know what you're looking for. For me, this is even better. You know, like not, he's got both. He's got his checklist, but he's got his image and grain this into your memory. And then you look for it in the chart. You know what you're looking for and look for it again and again. Right. So let's, let's zoom in here. Right. So yeah, just going through that. This is beautiful. Going through exactly the checklist here. Okay. So consolidation trap potential trap traders. Break to the upside here. Okay. Impulse move and looking at the volume delta and looking for absorption up into these areas in here. It just comes short of it, but you get your pullback and then number five in here. This is where you're looking for your entry. You've got your, you know who's in control now and who's not who's out of control. These guys would be out of control where buyers are in control and you're going to see stop runs to the upside. Okay. So, and that's exactly what unfolds here and you're writing it up as they're feeling the pain basically and up into your area of high liquidity up in here. Target almost a measured move right into the high liquidity. So, yeah, really, really great. I mean, what I like about this in here as well is how you are noting and following the setup. Just like this is, this is great coaching because he's brought in the flag pattern here and the image and you're doing that as well in here and you're going through your setup. And you can see each one of these things. And then it goes along just with the the image here of the of the pattern as well as the checklist. Okay, so really great. And just look for it again and again and again and then different variations on it, etc. I mean, this is a real nice pattern in here. You see them bidding up underneath these areas as well. And looking for that measured move up into this area here. Okay, so, yeah, nice, nice works, even great continuation of your work. All right, guys, let me I've taken up way too much time. Let's turn it over to slow down and let, I mean, I'm sorry, we'll turn it over to Stan. He's got some people to go through and then I also have some to go through as well. So let's see here, I got to get off the stage or stop, stop sharing. There we go. Okay, we can hear you, Stan. Yeah, okay. Yeah, you can see in the screen. Yes. All right. I will go firstly to Iceberg. No, sorry, I say H10. So I think it's a new person that just joined the Academy. I will maybe suggest him just to add more notation on it and what he was looking for, even if it's a great start. And maybe post it on Discord because I can't zoom in and even if I'm crying, we can't see that much. So I will just recommend him to do more notation on his job. Then I will go to Overseasr. So Overseasr walks with, so pivopine and moving average. Stan, you might be able to zoom in a little bit more if you, there's a... Yeah, I will. Ah, okay. Yeah, I was just looking for maybe, I'm not sure if it was, I think it's that one. So, yeah. So as I said, to see the RL, he's walking with pivopine and so moving average. So at this time, he was potentially looking for lung. So he took a lung here. And what I was suggesting there, it's maybe pay attention to the behavior. As we can see here, like strong volume, strong bias. And here it clearly shifts. We can clearly like set us came in and even we can't find any bias. So I don't really know why you've tried this one. But still, after that, he decided to shift and take... Yeah, just a moment I have to zoom in. To understand. So he took a lung here. It was the lung that I just covered. And then he shift and took a shot, two shots. Then we can represent here, so here and there. And this one, I don't have any problem with it. We can clearly see like the liquidity coming. Like the relative volume, like going up. For me, like the shot was clearly like the good one just by reading the other flow. Like you could even so like exhaustion. So yeah, what do you thought? I think it was a good idea. And maybe highlight more and put more attention to the relative volume. Like he can maybe give more insights. Yeah, a few comments, Stan. Yeah, really... Yeah, yeah. That's pretty hard to do. I don't know if he's here on the mic, but that's a hard thing to do is to admit your lung, or wrong on the lung, and flip. And take the short and then also leverage into the short basically. Yeah, yeah, that's true. But yeah, we can clearly see like, I don't know why he took the long, even if it was with his, maybe a line with his setup. But it's where Bookmap can I think really help you by identifying like the other flow and why you shouldn't maybe not take the long here. Yeah, really good point. I mean, one thing that flip of the order book from previously on the left-hand side. No, no, at that same price level. There's liquidity that gets filled on the offer, the very left-hand side of the chart. Here, no, one more lower. The big, yeah, there is at the same price level. So it broke out from there. It came back up and then retested again. Now it broke down from that level. And then we got a flip of the order book. You've got that liquidity on the offer there. So he didn't get that liquidity until later. Maybe that's what kind of made him flip his idea at that point. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know too. If he is there, I will be glad to have the answer. It looks like Caesar is here. He's just unable to talk at the moment. Caesar, do you want to try checking your mic settings with the cog? I will go on and if you're there, let me know. So, yeah, for this one, yeah, that's a great trade. I would maybe more recommend you to look more at the other flow. Like, for example, here, I will zoom in. Hello? Hello. Okay, there, yeah. Thanks, Stephen. Yeah, just to quickly address the meta trade without taking too much time. The camp pivots give me a clear level. You can see how well it worked as a breakout point retest. So that's why I took the long. I felt my risk to reward was good there. I still was pretty new to book map with the material I've gone over the last few days in the Education Center. I wouldn't have taken that long because now I see that liquidity that came on the ash side as we were heading down. What Stan said about the structure as we were coming up is really powerful to see there was buying. Now there's no buying there. So really wasn't, I wouldn't have taken that long again. I don't think, but the risk to rewards why I got in it. These levels give me that an area of interest to trade where I expect the big move off. So even if I'm wrong with the right sizing, I can flip and get the move I'm looking for after. So that was the reasoning behind there. And you can see how well it worked on the short we retested. So the risk to reward was clear. That was a really tight stop on the, on the ad. And I didn't hold to where I should have, but I read the book and took what the trade gave me. Yeah, and you're right. But yeah, the exit was, was great. So I guess like the second one was the trading stop. I don't know if in my notes, sir, I said that was a trailing stop. It might have been actually, I think it was. I was the execution errors and interactive brokers keep plaguing me, but we'll get there. Yeah, but still, you got your profit. Yeah. Yeah, that's great. Like we can see here, for example, there, that wasn't like the trading stop, but more. I don't know if it was like more psychological or. Yeah, that one there was purely psychological. Yeah. And for that one, so yeah, you took the short here. If I understand correctly, like if I take it here, so yeah, it was about. I'm pulling it up on my end here. Yeah, yeah, that's a short. Yeah. And so that was over here. And I would maybe suggest you to look more in detail in what we're happening in this microstructure in the pullback. Like we can clearly see like there were buyers in this pullback. And I don't know if you were entering like more aggressively, like just you enter here or you were looking after this pullback for maybe sell us that come back or maybe exhaustion over there or yeah. On that one, it was the, you can see I pointed the CVD continued to trend negative even on all the pops. I'm still learning to use the CVD, but there was like you see my stop there was also very tight. So I had the EMAs, I had a clear trend. And so I felt that was a good risk to reward there. And so you, and, and you closed here like in this top. I don't know. So it wasn't your trading stock, I think in this case. No. It was as I read. We're looking for the money management, but still I think like in this case, everything was on your side like strong selling volume. We even like there were no buyer. Yeah. And for example here, it would be maybe a good idea. Like we can clearly see the strong liquidity that come. But after, after you move, and I think your target was above 47. So yeah, you would just front from the liquidity. Yeah. Maybe. Yeah. And even if you had your trading stock or at breakeven or that will depend how you want to handle it. Yeah. That second exit was clear. Nothing else. Yeah. But yes, that's it what I have for you. Thank you. That's a great job. Keep going. Thank you so much. Pleasure. I will go over a lens. I don't know if he's there. And that's, that's okay. Maybe continue on. I don't know if you were looking for spring at this time. It's looking like, like we can clearly see like the strong volume, the strong selling volume, your stops, then your buyers that came back. Hear me now. Yeah. I hear you. Hi. I was a mute. Sorry. Stop. No, no, no. No question at the moment. So yeah, you had like strong barrier for not especially strong and we can clearly say the relative volume and this one coming and I would maybe, yeah, it's, yeah, put more attention to the relative volume. It would be great maybe to see more conviction there. It was, I took, you know, you see them all day long, you know, the stop run, two, three big stop runs. And then they take out all the orders and then you get responsive buyers. So I, you know, it happens all day. You see them all day. So that's what I was, I was expecting like you never know when it's going to happen. So whenever it happens, like you go to whatever the strong sale move, whatever it's like, it just comes out of nowhere. And if, you know, if you're watching, you can capitalize on the reversal, you know, that that's, yes, I was, I wasn't really looking for anything. It just happened. And I waited for the reaction. And that's when I got long to the point where the selling started. Yeah. And maybe I got a point at the arrow to the first green. And maybe I think slow down does the same comments the other time, but maybe if you, if you can use a TraderMap or to filter like the liquidity, it might be maybe easier to see the passive liquidity. To what, to what size volume though. There is Finesda. You said filter TraderMap Pro. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, TraderMap. Yeah, to filter liquidity. Yeah. I just haven't found the right number for, for Finesda, what to use. But I guess, I guess I can, I guess I'm going to play with it to see what number I'm comfortable with. I think slow down goes over nine, nine minutes. Nine? Okay. I'll give it a shot. I'll try it that way. Thanks. Recommend. But I think that would be a great, a great tool. But it's clear. Simple. Wait, wait, why do you think that would be a great tool? Like, because like you have a lot of noise here. With all those, I'll go activity and you can potentially see like, yeah, more clearly where price might go or where, yeah, where just do passive liquidity. Just for the momentum noise. Yeah, exactly. And give you more. Yeah. Okay. I'll try that idea. Thank you. And I don't know, like for the exit, like you, if it was 40 or if you were speaking of this 40. Yeah. It was 40 year with the arrow. I actually wrote the number. Sometimes has to fit them. I get some of that. That's a simple clear. I basically put the order. I put the sell yours because usually when you get these reversals, you know, the reverse up. I mean, rule. I don't want to say usually it goes back up to point where the selling started. So if you look across the map, I mean, if I don't know the curse, but if you went, if you went across like where the red where the red is like sitting on top of the green like I had, that's kind of like on the left side, like right on the where where I wrote liquidity, like, and then if you go across, that's pretty It's in that 740 zone. So that's why I set it over there. I didn't want to bother with trying for the next area of liquidity. You know, you know, many times you get so close and then you get both sudden it was turn around and it burns you. So it's okay. It's okay to give up the next 4750 and just get out where the where selling started. It was it's okay. Yeah, yeah, obviously. That's a good one. Thanks. What do you what do you think of my name? I don't know. Is that a good name for it? Yeah, that's a good name. I'm always trying to think of new creative names. So I wonder. That's a good one. I will go with the last one and I have for today and it's the anti matter. So, yeah, I know you are doing great job to like, you know, what you're looking for. It has been a long time that you're here. And I was maybe just suggest you to to explain what happened in those structure in those micro structure than you are highlighting. And yeah, and I think there is like a lot of information. And I don't know already how to read everything. But still, if you can, you can do it. But for example, here, we can clearly see like your micro consolidation and then you highlight. So what we're happening in there, we got like strong sellers followed by exhaustion. So you were looking for high distance. Yeah, it seems like D&T matter is always looking at kind of higher timeframe structure, which is great. But the if you like, like where you're pointing right now at three, that little area there, I mean, look how nicely that coincides to the break. So it comes up and retouch, read, you know, so this is very, very common and then read the order flow like you were saying in the micro structure in these areas here can give you that that real good insight. Yeah, and I think even if you were highlighting in there, like we can see clearly like here, I will try to zoom in like the liquidity being added. Like clearly like the absorption, sellers come back, exhaustion, potential buyer, but I think he was more looking for long than too short. And we can see it on the second picture. So that the following of the first one, that's really great actually to see more screenshot and what's happened in there. You are looking at so many things, but I would just maybe suggest you to read more like, yeah, more annotation about the order flow. Like, for example, here in this consolidation test with exhaustion, like there are so many things, but still you do you know what you're doing so great job. I think that's a good comment though, Stan, about, I mean, you're kind of alluding to, there's so many things going on and to simplify it, clarify it. And maybe it happens through journaling here, continue to journal, mark these up, but then you'll start to kind of not need to any longer and make it simpler. And you know, understand more of some of these in these areas exactly what you're looking for, potentially. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But this one was really trash. But yeah, but still there are plenty of information. Yeah, no, but still you're looking, you're doing a great job. Just the order flow, then I would suggest you to look more into the microstructure. That's a beauty right there. Yeah, yeah, but overall that's that's it. Excellent. See here. So yeah, I've got some images to go through. Well, so present. I'm sorry guys, I think we're going to have to keep the mic it's already been an hour and since we're doing this weekly, I don't want to fatigue you guys. I want to, I love opening the mic. Maybe we give you guys coaching feedback, but open the mic only for a few and can go over something in more detail. Give me your suggestions. Hit us up in the Bookmap Academy room because, you know, sometimes we're going like, you know, an hour and a half or more and it's not good. I think, especially since we're doing this weekly, but anyway, let me, can you guys see my screen? So, yeah. Yeah, it's working. Okay, okay. So I've got Rob, Donkey Face, Trout and Newcomer Bap or Green Goldstone, I'm not sure, but start with Rob and Rob warms my heart here. You covered this also in a small video. You've got two images here and I want to read this out loud here because it is fantastic. So and it feels to me like you're, you're onto something here. You found at least you hooked into something and this is progress. So let's open the mic up for Rob as well. I think he's in here and because it is, it is worthy of this here. Here, here you've got your, your strong move, your low volume pullback or it's not as strong volume. It is shallow. It is, it is just a small range in here and you're looking for the next thing in here. Now what we've talked about during the webinars and in suggestions was relying on this information in here, this information in here to give you insight to this potential happening here. So if we rely on these things and the behavior of others, we have a more likely outcome. So this stuff, your entry is here. Okay, but it's all of this stuff in here that helps you determine this here. Now you, you know, you're not looking for a big move in here. You're hitting a single. You're, you're getting a few points out of it, taking some risk off, holding it. Fantastic. So and then you mentioned in here. So we go back and we'll go over this image in just a second, but quickly here's two small trades you did today. They were both only short moves, but with how the order flow was moving at, at the moment I had minimal risk and a close target, likely to be hit something I'm trying out with continuation in spot is spotting or in spotting. This is a smaller area moves that I can take more often. That way I can get more repetitions in quick and quick out. If the move doesn't continue the right way, I want out. I can find instances of these potential setups all day long. This is honing your skills. And, you know, smaller timeframes like this get really good and always extrapolate this to the higher timeframes. No problem. So really, really great on this. And this is a, I know you've been like, you were kind of down for a few of the posts earlier in the week. And now it seems like you found something you're kind of latched onto to keep pushing in this direction in whatever direction is helping you. So this one here though I wanted to mention is not as prominent. I don't really see much relying on, and I wanted to note this on this in here. Yeah, there's some buying in here. Not bad. There's some buying in here. Yeah, not bad. There's some selling though. There's some heavy selling coming in here. Okay. So what do we have to lean on? And, you know, you've got this kind of pattern in here is deep pullback to on strong selling. So you're not really looking for this. I mean, we don't know if it might just come up to here and then go down. And in fact, it did, you know, you get these, you're getting this kind of strong move up, but a little less stronger move to the downside. So this is the trend that it's making. It's kind of a shallow, you know, more of a grinding move. And expectations are different in it. I just wanted to mention that. So I'll open the mic for you, Rob, and any comments you have. Oh, can you hear me? Yes. Okay. Yeah, on this trade here, I was looking more at something that was going on on the higher timeframe. Because I look at a some volume profile charts too. So I was looking at levels from other days, which sometimes that gets me flip flopped around, or it could be something that's just happened on too large of a scale from where I'm operating at. You know, like on the previous image we're looking at because, you know, say if I have a three lot of ES, like that previous screenshot you were showing, that's all that I have to do, you know, maybe get one or two of those a day. And that's, you can do pretty well on that. But I mean, that same pattern occurs a lot every day. You'll see several at least. Yeah. And a lot of days I've seen, you know, maybe five, 10 instances of that. So, you know, I think something that I was doing in the past that was a mistake was going, oh, I'm looking at these levels further up. Instead of going, okay, what can I do right now? You know, what's right in front of me with the order flow versus going, oh, I'm looking at these certain levels on the higher timeframe. Going, oh, here's something from yesterday or from previous days. That might be just looking too far back. But, you know, if I can look at something right in front of me with this order flow and just have something where I can gain a few points at a time and a repeating pattern like this and just have the same kind of setup and just repeat it over and over. Yeah, yeah. It's great. Because I see these all the time, you know. This is just a basic structure, this kind of flag continuation structure. It just, it seems like it's a, you know, it happens fractally. It just happens over and over. Yeah. If that makes sense. Absolutely. Absolutely. And, you know, like I was suggesting kind of suggesting continue to look at not just what the pattern is and, you know, this kind of flag idea, right? It's not so much about that. What it's about is understanding here's your entry here again. It's all of this stuff here to lean on. Because even when you start to use this as your foundation, the likelihood is much higher that you will get something like this. So anyway, just continue on and, you know, be careful along the way. Don't, you know, think, oh, you know, I got it. I'm going to, you know, trade the heck out of it. Because, you know, especially on smaller timeframes, it's a lot more, there's a lot more volatility typically. But we look for the likelihood of the move when it's very clear. It is, it's, it usually unfolds. So, yeah, just if you found something that you resonate with, you continue on. And great, great progress that you've made, Rob. Yeah. And I'm just thinking, you know, if I try some sort of strategy where I'm looking for, you know, five, 10 points or whatever, maybe that's, maybe I'm just shooting too high, you know, maybe if I can, you know, do multiple lots and try to go for, you know, one, two, three points. You know, even like this trade here, that's only, the first two lots were only a point and a half. And then I moved to the stop-up. You know, I was, you know, I was just hoping it would go up to that liquidity around, around eight or nine. Yeah. And it did later, you know, but at that point, I figured, hey, I've gotten these two. I can lock in a profit right now. So I'll just move that stop-up. And if it goes up there, it goes up there. And then if not, I'll, for the next one. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, this is timing. Again, you'll hear a lot of, you know, the veteran traders talk about this, and they'll say that in order, order flow or, you know, intraday trading, oh, it's so risky. Everyone says, don't do it. And a lot of them will say the opposite. You know, it's actually less risky. I am more sure that Microsoft or the ES or whatever it is, will go this direction in the next, like, you know, half an hour than it would over the next month or, you know, several days. So this is where a day trader has that edge and leveraging it and looking for these more likely moves to unfold. But this is just a starting point here. And, you know, the back testing, building this plan and getting better and better at it with your journaling. Yeah. Because the ideas I just want to have, you know, I think of that idea about McDonald's, you know, they made billions of dollars off of a two or three-dollar cheeseburger. You know, is it easier to sell millions of three-dollar cheeseburgers off of a fancy $50 one? You know, if that's, I don't know if that's a good analogy, but that would be like, you know, is it going to work out better to go for a target that's further away versus, you know, trying to get these quick little wins of just a few points? Well, we could try to do them over and over. We could get Crash F-16 on here and he could give us an analogy about it with the Hunter analogy of a lot of the aces in World War I and II. They would wait. They didn't have missiles, but, you know, they would wait and they would be very close to the enemy until they had a sure shot and then they would take it. They would not waste their ammo from a distance because the likelihood is not very high. So, you know, use your skills, get in there, look for that sure thing, take your shot. And yeah, yeah, good stuff, Rob. Any last comments? Yeah, and I'm just, while you get the whole concept, you know, by having these shorter moves, I can repeat it more versus having a longer setup with a further way target. See, you know, the way that our brains work, we have to repeat things over and over and over to master it. So, this just gives me more chances to repeat the thing over and over. Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. So, build your skills. So, good stuff, Rob. Let me, you're very welcome. Boy, guys, I've got three more. It's already been an hour and 15 minutes. I got donkey face trout and BAP. I'll try to maybe in the next 10 minutes, if you guys are okay with that, we'll go through it. And there you go, you got crashes explanation in there in the chat. You only have so many bullets. I'll give them for great setups. And remember, leg in, leg out. Excellent, love it. So, donkey face, excellent analysis in here. There's a couple of comments in here that I have. You know, there's many different things in here that you mentioned. There's a lot of stuff on here. And I have some current concern about all of this stuff on here. Okay, let me just go through kind of higher level here first. You mentioned, you're kind of talking your way through the process. You're kind of using your text here, like Rob uses a video talking through, you know, I'm looking at this, I'm looking at that. And you're kind of emotionally going through it, which is excellent. And the problem with that is, or the only thing that I would comment about that is, you know, I don't want to turn out, because you do too much of this and you're like, oh, God, I don't want to do that. I'm tired of journaling. Instead, my suggestion would be, it's very much like what Slowdown has done, intentionally go in here and start to refine and hone it down. And just come down to like, I'm looking for this, looking for this, and I'm looking for that. Just, you know, three, four things and keep it simple. I love that this is what this group is all about. You say borrowing from other traders like Crash, F16 down here. Fantastic, you know. What's up? You know, looking at your CVD as well as the market pulse. And you're borrowing that in there. This is fantastic. This is what we're here for. Learn from each other. Build each other up. And become better, right? So this is a big part of the Bookmap Academy as well. So I love seeing that. Yeah, we're here to learn from each other. Also, you're scaling in, which is nice. It looks like maybe this is your next step. Maybe you're doing a lot of scaling already. I know you've been trading for a while. But maybe on this setup, you're starting to consider the scaling in and out. Yeah, consider writing in more of a separate document, writing some of these notes down so that this you can put into a setup. And then you don't have to repeat this, right? Instead, what you're going to do is take these notes, put it into a separate doc, call it your setup, come back in and when you see another image and you start to mark it up and you say, oh, it did this and that, maybe then you go back into your setup and start to edit it and refine it. Now, that's kind of tricky, you know, as you build your trading plan. If you're studying one thing and it's very, you're inconsistently studying that. That can lead to a lot of confusion. So, but it is how you kind of edit and hone your trading plan until you get exactly what you want to study. And then you study the heck out of it and you do not change it. If you do change it, that's fine. But it's another study, a separate study. Okay, I just wanted to mention that. And also the burnout, this is a lot of work in here and spending like, you know, 45 minutes on an image. Sure, it's helpful, but how many of these are you going to do? And, you know, we don't want that. We want to continue to journal and debrief and not say, oh, God, I don't want to do that. So that was my only comment on that. Again, excellent analysis on this. Really good setup. We have a flush through here. This one seems a little more concise to me. Maybe two things. It could be a newer setup that you're starting to study and starting to make notes on, or it's something that you've always been looking at and you're just getting more concise on it. And a beautiful entry, a beautiful exit on this here. The entries a little, in my taste, I kind of look for it to come back up above. The flush here on volume. Then I know that these guys are trapped or more likely that you will not get the retest. You know, so it depends though. Sometimes it's a smaller little area in here that you'll see the trap like it might be in here if you zoom in. And it likely is because that's where that retest actually came to. Note that. It is the same concept as this one here. Okay. It's very same concept. The retest here didn't quite come to it and then it bounced back up. So same idea here is like came back up, bounced off it, and then back up. All right. That's what I got. And let's move on to the next one. Okay. And trout. Okay. So a lot of observations in here. Great stuff. It looks like you're kind of in your new to book map welcome. New to the Academy at least. And you talk about scaling in this image. I wouldn't worry about that at this point. You're looking at and marking up a lot of different things observing in book map, which is fantastic. So continue on. And there is. This is this was today. And, you know, we had the CPI data and, you know, big, big down day. And you're, you're, you're going long in here. I would be careful about that. You know, there were some massive pullbacks today. And that is the nature of, you know, big, big down moves. You typically also get some pretty steep pullbacks. And that's what you noted in here. And yeah, warms my heart again. We're talking about just earlier with that kind of flush through move. You can kind of see it in here. The flush through, you know, kind of all the way down to the downside. And then you kind of noted in here. Right in here with your white box. And this is where the buyers came in and look at this. So it went back up above it. What was the resistance or this pivot point in here? Now it's bouncing off of it and continues on up to the upside. So really, really nice to see that in here. And you can see it in the order flow. And here's the support in the order book as well. Okay. There's not too much on the offer and in here that we see. We don't see like a flip of the book, but the order flow shift and change is in here. In fact, you can see it. That's a horrible line. You can see it in here. Right. And look at the. Volume on the. On this side of the line and the volume on this side of the line. Okay. And we're talking about relative volume again, like Stan was earlier, where you pointed out really some nice areas. All right. So, and yeah, I wouldn't worry about the scaling at this point, but that's, you know, more, more advanced type stuff in condriven nuts. But once, once you get down exactly what you're looking for and consistently hitting it, the scaling comes in and you're going to knock it out of the park. Okay. I shouldn't say knock it out of the park, but that's where you'll see the PNL shift. All right. We got another one in here as well. Just a very clean and clear with the downtrend here. Lots of observations. Keep it up. Keep up the observation phase. Since you're new in here to the academy, you know, you've got a lot of different things on here. And then with intention, come back in. That's a slowdowns word with intention. Come back in and start to note some of these things and get more concise with them. And then you'll really have something in here, but you saw this downtrend and you played it beautifully. Really nice. You're looking at nice observations. You're looking at your volume. You're looking at your order book, stepping down as well. And you're positioning yourself as well. Looking at some of these areas also in your, your market polls here. Look how many times it's coming back up to the upside here. Look at the downside here. It's just massive on the downside. So these are little pullback areas to consider for your even, even more scaling at that point. But like I said, hold off on the scaling and, and yeah, you, you've found a really nice trending market that you can, you know, partake in again and again and again. BAP. Welcome. You're new as well. And just had a very simple image. So you went through and just started to observe some very basic things in here. It's a great start. This is what, this is how you do it. And then start marking them up and then start to get into volume dots and, and many other things. So what you're looking at in here was this move down in Tesla. And you see this kind of flip in support and resistance. Okay. So, you know, it's basically, you see lots of support on the way down the resistance here. And you're looking at your pivot points or your R1. And then you see a head and shoulders pattern in here. So note these little head and shoulders patterns. Note, look for a measured move. Where might it come though? Is there liquidity down here? What about the volume dots? You got your volume dots turned down way, way down. So you, which maybe that's your intention. That's fine. If you're relying more on liquidity, which in this image you can, you know, not getting filled here, but look at them on the offer up in here. The buyers don't go through it. And you just look for some momentum start to kick in for the downside and the continuation move right down into huge support. So great start to observing some of the order flow elements in here. And why I bring these things up again and again, and I just can't be more concise with it, then I can continue to show this image from slow down just a minute. That he came up with in his presentation a while back right here. Aggression, always getting better. Look at his markups here back in May. All over the place or lots of different things. Look at his markups in July. Some months later. So we got a few. He's starting to really kind of hone down what he's looking for. Look at his markups in the October. Very few. He's got a strategy. He's looking for exactly something very specific. And he's got not only is he looking at in book map, he's got it in a, in a, an image here, a diagram. He knows exactly what he's looking for. And then he's following suit with his actions, matching that. And that's the, this kind of process that we see. So, you know, depending on what phase you're in here, this is where we want to get. And then I know that slow down probably has one more in here that he's getting into the scaling phase now. I've seen some content recently about that. So that's, that's all I got for you guys. Thank you very much for coming. We'll do it again next week. And please put your suggestions into the book map Academy room. There's, you know, how, how are we doing? How can we make this better for you? How can we like, you know, make these more engaging? I'm not really sure. These are going too long. We open the mic or we have too many images to cover. So you want to hear your suggestions and let's make this better for everybody. Thanks for coming to everybody and have a good evening. Okay. Yeah. Take care. Bye-bye.
