 Hey, everybody, this is Brian and we're going to do a simulated trade, but this is real time. So it is December 5th, 2022 at 353 Eastern Standard Time. Here's our predicted mark and it's going to go up to this. We have a butterfly in simulation and you can see how this blue line is at end of day. The magenta line is the profit curve and it is now starting to go into profit. How did I get to this number? Using Magic Ape Ball, the stock market prediction engine, I'm assuming you've joined but if not, go to LaunchPass.com, magic-8-ball-members. Join up, once you're joined, you'll get an activation code and it walks you through in the help section. You just send that activation code that was sent to you via email to the LaunchPass bot and it will automatically add you in, at least it should. And from there, you can just go down and I've covered these predictions in detail in a previous video, but let's kind of pick it apart. So current price $3,995, predicted close is $4,002, $6 price difference. Short term means soon. Again, we've got about six minutes, seven minutes left in the market and long term assumes there was no end. It would go to midnight. You notice these are very, very close to each other. So right around that 4,000 marks where it's going to go and that chart is kind of backing that theory up how we've got a nice straight line. Short, long and close are all on top of each other. Price is low. It's going to snap up. Again, your volume profile down here shows you price is moving up to that red line. So we know we're in good shape. We can also verify that with SPY because SPX and SPY are very similar. You can see it's going to do pretty much the same thing for SPY. So if I wanted to, I could do SPX and SPY. And just sitting here talking to you, suddenly you see the price is moving up. We're at about $161 in change and we're just going to watch this profit curve over the next five minutes. And you can see, yep, it's moving up. Now this is one of those gut checks as an investor and I am not a professional options trader. I'm simply a developer who developed Magic 8 Ball. I struggle with this, especially with butterflies, knowing when to bail because the last few minutes of the market are always crazy. But you can see just since the recording, the price is starting to grind up towards this predicted mark. What witchcraft is this? You may be asking, how is he doing this? Well, I've covered this in a previous video, but Magic 8 Ball uses volume profile analysis along with Delta, Gax, open interest, and a whole lot of mathematical equations, some of which are very old. They've been around since before the internet and some of which I actually spent months and months and months developing myself. But you can see just in the short time, the price is grinding up towards the predicted and if we look at our analysis here, yeah, we're $220 in profit. You may be asking, why didn't I put the pin of the butterfly on the 4,000? And that's because SPX does some crazy things, especially the last few minutes. And this is what I was getting to, this is a choice you'll need to make. Do we take the profit now knowing this could jump up or down? You see, there it goes down. I suspect it's going to go down and then snap up, but it may drop all the way down, meaning if this was a real trade, I would have taken the money and run. But I've seen SPX shoot way up past the predicted before. The last few minutes are crazy. We're just going to see what happens here. We got this timer up here in case you're wondering. We have less than two minutes and we're just going to sit here and watch this for two minutes. You can see it's now up. We're at about 188 and change. If this was in today, be 127 profit and wham, it just snapped up. Let's look at the chart here. Oh, boom. It just hit our predicted line at 4,000. Now we've got about two minutes, so I don't want to waste your time. If we look at SPX, SPY, we can see the chart hasn't updated yet because these are only updated every five minutes. I am working on a real-time update website. I'm just not there yet, but you can see these ranges are so close. We're talking like a two to four dollar range. Let's flip back and let's watch us see what I mean. Shut up. Chances are we wouldn't be able to close this with less than two minutes on the clock, but we are in profit. We're in full profit curve right here. We're going to make, if this was a real trade, about $300 for a $200 investment. Pretty damn good odds if you ask me, and we're just going to watch this profit curve go up. Now, unfortunately, we have less than two minutes now. Anything can happen. Again, I think this price is going to keep grinding up to about, and I'm going to just guess work right here. That being said, the internet likes to humble me, so the market will probably drop back down to the 4K node. If what I'm saying sounds like complete gibberish, please watch my other videos because I do explain this and how I got to this point. All right, so we have about a minute and a half. Again, all I did was I went into Magic 8 Balls prediction, saw where it was, where I thought it was going to close, the predicted difference, and then I just literally copy and pasted this butterfly trade into thinkorswim, verified it with this chart, and we are just in watching now. And it is right here. I'm going to move that line so you can see where the price action is. Price action is right here at about $31.30 profit, and we're just going to sit here and we're going to wait. We've got less than 50 seconds, and let's just sit here and see what happens. Now, while we've got a minute, there are multiple types of strategies. This is just one of the strategies. This is called an end of day pen. Basically, you just try to nail this sucker for profit at the end of day. This is a very narrow butterfly. Didn't cost a whole lot to get in. Got about 30 seconds. Anything can happen right now. You can see the price is going to hover right around our predicted close, and our trend lines are coming up. Let's wait and see what happens. And then let's do a postmortem. I'm going to zoom in here just to see how close this was to the predicted. All right. Market Bell, it is 1,603 seconds. The market is now closed. It is $3,9997, so it is settling for about $3,998.70. So we're less than $2 off on our predicted mark, and this would have made us about $173. I'm looking at this little box down here. The blue one is the end of day, so about $170, 173 right in there. Not bad. Now, I did add a little bit of buffer in case this just ran and ran. It would have captured it at about full profit. I'm really trying to work on how to pin that, but really not bad when you look at the difference between the prediction engine and the actual real-time price action. So again, my name is Brian. This is Magic Apeball, and I hope to see you in there.
