All right, so Let's see I went over that went over this out of the stages in here. Let's just go through these quickly as you can see like this was slowdowns process and In May 2023 He's marking up his charts in here and he's marking up a lot of stuff It's it's you know, there's a lot of things that he's identifying here This is step one All right, or stage one and this would be your akin to your bookmap junior Academy applicant Identifying order flow elements the trader begins to understand the contextual importance of these elements and how the markets work This is a really crucial first step The next step is refinement of that now you're you're invited to the bookmap junior Academy. You've made it through and now you're Focusing on the important elements for you that resonate with you So that you can start to see and understand how you are going to use these to your advantage to build an edge A lot of you guys are already here in this step already. You can see it in the content Third and final step when you get invited to bookmap Academy and get bookmap for free You are looking at your specific events or elements within your trading plan And you can see in here like a slowdown has had look at the editing in here from a lot of elements to a Lot less elements to just a few even has an image up here that We all know very well in the in the discord chat room in his white cough spring He knows exactly what he's looking for. He knows his entry. He knows his exits everything. This is the goal, right? And continue on and get better and better. Alright, so with that said, let's move on and move over to slowdowns presentation and We'll let him take it away here Okay, thank you very much Bruce. Good afternoon everybody I'm gonna quickly go over three traders today. We're gonna start with Steven So Bruce if you want to go ahead and enlarge the first image there We can start working our way through so what we've got here. It's the same image. I've Duplicated to leave Steven's original image on top and then I kind of scribbled all over the bottom one below but basically You know Steven like overall like good annotations and observations like we can all tell you're making an effort to be really thorough I had a couple thoughts regarding the flag pattern slide that you shared yesterday And a few things to consider going forward with Okay, so if we start around number one I'm going to assume that the blue rectangle you've drawn on the chart Kind of highlights the same area where you've drawn the blue rectangle on the schematic I think that's you know fairly understandable. So Based on that you're looking at at kind of You know the larger Flag move taking up the majority of your screenshot here But I would kind of start walking myself through the checklist For a flag pattern and if we do that you'll see You know like we have a consolidation range. I drew a little yellow rectangle around it to kind of highlight the consolidation So we got that that's kind of step one Step two in the checklist is a steep impulse with strong relative volume now I don't really see a real direct impulse on high relative volume above the consolidation range in this example Instead what I we see buyers, but we also see a little battle between sellers and kind of another consolidation period Mind you a shorter one before we get another little surge from buyers So we don't really have the making of A real impulse breakout And another thing to consider when you're measuring your impulse in your breakout is are you measuring from the top of the consolidation range? Or from the bottom where sometimes we see buyers kind of come in now, there's no Bruce could correct me here. I don't think there's a right or wrong answer I've been tracking the setup for a couple months now And I started measuring from the top of the consolidation range as being the breakout And I found the measured move to be pretty reliable when gauging it that way Just something to consider when you're going forward You know up to you where you decide you want to start measuring that impulse from But if we continue on number three is the pullback So in this example the pullback is pretty deep and if we take the measurements From where you drew the initial impulse bottom to top We go from around 14 and a half to 19 and a half on the price ladder So around five points and the pullback takes us from 19 and a half back down to 15 and a half Approximately four points or 80 percent the entire move So we really don't want to see the pullback retrace more than 50 percent of the move according to the checklist At least the checklist shared in the book map learning center. I mean you can feel free to adapt it and make it your own We also don't see a lot of support on the bid So we're getting, you know, kind of a fairly large pullback. It's fairly steep and we don't have a lot of bid support And so that would kind of invalidate The rest of the checklist for me going forward because at this point we're still looking for an entry opportunity But based on what we've already seen like kind of a lackluster breakout and an aggressive pullback with no support from the bid I'd be I'd be kind of cautious in terms of like Looking at this as a flag at that point This gets a little more confirmation when we look at the relative volume So I put a little number four down where the volume delta bars are and just as a way to say like the schematic You've added to your chart is awesome, but it's covering up An easy way to judge relative Delta, I mean we can see it in the bubbles, but sometimes I find looking at those bars at the bottom just kind of outlines It so clearly And again, we want to see high relative volume on the impulse Low relative volume on the pullback So it would just be nice to see like Those volume bars to be perfectly honest, uh, I find them really really useful when gauging um when gauging a move And then like I guess lastly like I'd say I included My version of the flag pattern checklist that I made when I watched the uh It's number five on that same image bruce I'm sorry on this one No, if we can go back to um the last image you were just on so I'm sorry Slow down. I'm having a quite a quite an issue here with I don't know why this um Tool is is these pen tools not working for me on on this, but anyway I have to bear with it. I guess Yeah, well, I was just gonna add that's okay bruce. No problem I was just gonna add that I I put my little version of the checklist on here And I just made this after watching the learning center video and it's probably similar to the one that bruce uses But if I start looking at this I look and I see trap traders consolidation yet. We went over that I don't see the steep impulse and strong relative volume We do see the move into into liquidity where we get our little pullback but our Pullback isn't minor. So I wouldn't check that off the list And by the time we get our buy volume above sellers number five I've kind of already voided this as a setup for me um, so basically I I kind of check off four out of the seven um Elements, you know, we ultimately did make it to the target But I didn't really see this developing as like a clean and clear example of a flag and If we now we can close this image and open the one right below it Which is a flag pattern that bruce shared today that he was kind enough to let me scribble on And I put the same Schematic that you had Shown there so and then I put a little checklist right next to it And if we kind of just really quickly go over this You'll see kind of how much more defined the actual Flag is so number one we can see our clear consolidation range Two we have the steep impulse and strong relative volume Goes into liquidity number three Now the pullback initially Looks to be high volume But the liquidity view really supports the bid The volume kind of dries up and eventually it turns into what we'd consider a low volume pullback before We see number five buyers above the seller strong relative volume for a second impulse up into a measured move And bruce just shared this chart on a couple hours ago and it really stood out It's a higher time frame example. We're running. I don't know four or five hours here So like, you know, the market is fractal. You'll see this in large time frames small time frames But this was just kind of a clear example just from today's session Of uh, you know What the move can kind of look like and and how when you apply the checklist it can start to get a little clearer and That's kind of my feedback about the flag pattern I hope it makes some sense. I hope I didn't go through it too quickly um No, that was that was brilliant. I mean, uh, just great. Um, and um I really like I mean if This is what's so great. I think um, the way you did that slowdown is you have something that very clearly shows it here And then contrast that to this here Uh, all all the points that you went through um Certainly, uh, but you know because it's kind of jumbled up I totally agree with your your um No feedback on this here uh, and uh And then here it is really clean and clear and and big big distinction so um And and keep I I think this was such a good learning tool, uh, you know that that You use is to put this on your chart or put this near you. This is what you're looking for, right? And then do you see that? in in here this one and it's Yeah, and you have your checklist as well. So it's um It it worked out But uh, it is there's a lot of points in here that I don't think the great if you grade it You know with the the setups checklist tool and in book map. Um, I don't think it would be above an eight Uh, and you you probably want to pass on it Uh, basically Yeah, it would be a little messy for me. Uh, like I said, even though it worked out, uh, but you know and Stephen, there's some additional feedback for you. You can read about another slide. Um, I'll post the link for you in the chat to read about an additional setup you did. Um, but For the purpose of this webinar, we'll just move on to allen And uh, do we want to open up the um the mic for um for Stephen? Up to you guys here Yeah, let's uh, let's open it up Hello, can you hear me? Yes Ah, um, yeah, thank you for the the feedback. It's something that I'll definitely have to go over. Um Yeah, all valid points. So I I agree. Uh, I didn't even notice that I was covering the delta Um I don't have anything else to add um, but uh, there were other slides and I was The reason why I brought this up was it's quite interesting that it was kind of hidden in there But it's this is like zoomed in Uh, a lot of the fact uh fractals It's within the fret. This is the one I chose because this is the one you had the schematic on and the image above had kind of The clean green line pullback green line. So this was the easiest one for me to talk about without kind of Having multiple slides put together. Yeah part of my other feedback actually In in the thing that that you can read afterwards is uh, when you are creating a larger picture using multiple slides Yeah, I think it would be really helpful to number them Um either from like highest time frame to lowest or lowest time frame to highest Because I think your question is really good. And when I was going through it It just took me a little longer than I'd be proud of to kind of put all the pieces of the slides together Um to know like this is I mean, obviously they have a time axis Uh, and so you can start to kind of figure it out and you do a really good job like Highlighting that you know, this is a zoomed in section of this but when there's five or six slides It can get kind of I can get kind of lost in it just reviewing it from as an outsider Right. So like if you had a system where like Look at you know slide one two three four five and then you would know that You know, you were getting progressively closer or farther away from the image I think it would make it a little easier for A stranger to to get on the same page as you quickly But could also be a deficiency in my own, you know, learning ability, which is pretty well documented as well Okay, no worries Thank you, Stephen No worries. Um, yeah, sorry about the other times that I couldn't make it. I had too much noise around But uh, great feedback Thank you. Excellent. Thank you Uh, okay. All right, we'll move on with Alan and guys. I think I'm In order to keep these shorter When we open the mic, I think we're gonna we're gonna run a clock so that You know, it was we had a great session last time it just went for an hour and a half and It's just too long. I want to keep you guys coming back and and respect your time So, uh, so anyway, let's jump in. Uh, and uh, and yep, take take it away slow down Okay, uh, so this one's from Alan And just overall my comment is that Alan's work is so consistent that sometimes I have a hard time telling if I'm looking at the same slide Or if I'm on to a new slide Um, and I mean that with the highest of compliments a lot of what Alan shares is basically a mean reversion trade And they all kind of look the same And again, that's a compliment. Uh, he's managed to kind of identify what he's looking for And he describes it simply And then, you know, that's it. He doesn't, you know, doesn't clutter it up And one thing I wanted to share with Alan and I mean anybody else who's interested is Alan takes us as a mean reversion trade just like most of his other ones. He's kind of targeting VWAP and the point of control Um, he basically gets outside and he gets short if we're above it or he gets long below it. Um What I also really like about this trade is it fits into sometimes, uh, some of us talk about the Wyckoff theory and the Wyckoff structures In the chat rooms and this is just a great example of how to identify Where like, you know, where we might be starting that mean reversion So what I've done is below I've attached just a quick schematic Um of a traditional Wyckoff structure and it basically Includes four parts to the market and if you look in the top right corner of that structure, that's basically what's captured exactly in Alan's image the distribution area So we'll take a quick look at that and then we'll zoom back up to uh to the image From Alan And you'll see we've we've had an impulse up We had a buying climax on the top left and we start building a consolidation range The consolidation is held by the kind of a little band of liquidity at the top and when we pop that We see icebergs that are selling we see buy stops going off And then immediately we see a reaction from the sellers as soon as we get outside that consolidation range More buyers and we have basically a false breakout on low volume If you look down at the delta at the bottom of the screen You'll see we don't have a lot of buyers when we actually pop through that liquidity We get the reaction from sellers then so even though this is a mean reversion trade To me that's like the big clue Uh of like where we might be going And so rather than just playing this to the opposite side of the range like I often do Alan's looking at it a little more zoomed out And he's realizing that you know, this is an opportunity to take it all the way back for a mean reversion trade And I just thought like it's a great example of Of a trade that he shares all the time And how it fits in with another structure that we've been talking about quite a bit in uh, you know, Bruce's chat room and webinars and Yeah, I don't really like have a lot of constructive feedback I just saw this and thought wow that looks exactly like a trade I take I'd enter it at a different spot and I might exit it at a different spot But you know, there's a million ways to slice it and You know, I just thought it was a Nice slide overall and and fits into to how I like to view the markets anyway So for me from a structure standpoint, this makes total sense Yeah, yeah, and uh, yeah, I really like uh, you know, bringing bringing in this, um Understanding of of something very objective and it's been around for like a hundred years Um, and uh, also applying that uh into What we're seeing in the order flowing and just how these markets work. I mean Wycoff is well known for You know bringing that to us because he knew how the markets work um, let's open the mic uh for allen and uh, we'll run it here Uh, and just give it give it a few minutes and uh Yeah Yes Yeah Allen before you talk My my only suggestion is if you add a little circle or some type of like visual indication on your chart Where your actual entry is? And your exit like just a tiny little I I I uh This one doesn't but some of them I started putting it on cool. Yeah If you look at an explanation just like a you know, a visual indication will just make it easier to Yeah, really. Yeah, I started to do that. Maybe this one is like an older but I started to Put you know got in after uh, you know, a few green bubbles You know, they're willing to you know, give up some money just to have a more Higher percentage chance of it going worse to go and then I Usually, you know Like I learned from bruce the the front run. It's always better at the front run the liquidity because there's so many times So just reverse on you and that makes me lose sleep and Yeah, yeah, allen. Are you trading from book map? You are right on book map. Yeah. I mean you got your trade control panel open over here Sometimes I do um But I use jigsaw's um I use jigsaw just to place the trades because uh their dome feeds to a Um a journal So I could just pull up all the trades in the day and it tells me all like the data So I don't know. I'm sure eventually, you know, you guys will have something similar Yeah, it's kind of we have something kind of in the works actually, but uh That's the only reason Oh, okay. Yeah, I I think uh, I mean I it would be better for us if instead of pointing to it We actually see like the position where you got in or Whatever it is um, uh, and then you know where you got out, uh, and Yeah, we can give you a better feedback on it. That's for sure so like you just make uh Right, just show just right on the chart where I get in and where I get out. Yeah Yeah, I just I just wanted to say like to everyone like You don't have to reinvent the wheel like the money's still green if you do a simple trade or you do a A complex trade the money's still green. So, you know, I I I remember Bruce, I don't know for all of million those million 10 a.m conference, um analysis how you said that uh Meaning version traders come in with fury and for them. So I remember that that always stuck in my head So whenever I said, you know, so like the mark going down and I I see the green line the the POC and view up and I always label it because I don't know god I don't want to assume anyone knows that I know what the green line is in the white line, but everyone has different colors and stuff. So I always try and put the label on that but I remember you saying how Me reversing traders like a ruthless like it'll be a sharp move right to the Like here it goes all the way to view up and And that's it Yeah Yeah, it is true. I mean like you can see like the market just keeps pushing pushing pushing and then these Like mean reversing guys come in And they're and they're just really aggressive Yeah, and like you see you see the box box too That's consolidation, right? It's usually usually when you have consolidation It's it's in a breakout one way or the other in a big in a big move Because there are someone in the big is accumulating some contracts and eventually it'll break out To the downside or to the upside. So as soon as the red bubbles came, you know One To like the my third one with the hour the bigger one. That's where I got it, you know, and then Right in here, right? Yeah, and there was a tiny It was a tiny pullback with that little green dot, but you know, it's a shallow pullback. So, you know, I did I didn't you know It didn't bother me. It didn't freak me out or anything Well, Alan also mentioned with regards to that pullback it lines up with the bottom of the consolidation range and that's almost just like a Like a great sign for me somebody who's used to trading these structures like You want the pullback to hold the bottom of that range? And that's just additional confidence That we could be going lower. So like, um, you know, that's kind of almost an expected Place to pull back to Yeah, and you're like you shouldn't trade within the box like, you know, you have to Yeah, right. You want it to You know, see you see who the aggressors will be and whoever If you see on top though, you see I circled All there was a on top of a executed ice sell 42 and then on top is a hundred just didn't fit on the screen You see the See the hundred over two So I never, you know, I don't I mean there was and there's another one 73. You say I put two arrows pointing through it On the top left, right where we're wrote in Q mean reversion short There's a 73. So I know Icebergs aren't supposed to be used in a vacuum But if I see so many like on the top of the range, I I just keep an eye out And I have, you know, the sounds for the Market pulse apps, you know, like The going down is like Like it's a it's a it's a more annoying Because it's going down and going up have like bubble sound. So when I you know, if I see that I hear the sounds It's the aggressors are Coming out of the consolidation box, you know, I waited until closely, you know The bigger bubbles and and that was it and look how exactly it goes right to view up It's like it's a me. I mean I I could put these all day like how many times it just gets to the p.l.c And turns around or just gets to the view up and turns around like it just happens all day long like for everyone listening like you just You know just get comfortable with that really you can Yeah, you don't have you don't have to like Like I know some people mark up their Charts with all kinds of, you know, fancy terms and stuff like that You know, I get, you know messages from people saying that they just like what I put because it's just it's explained simply and You don't put any fancy words You know my my belief is that wall street is much a fancy I'm working I work in the banks that I believe like wall street is just a bunch of Simple stuff written in fancy and fancy terms and When you finally guys, that's all there was like, you know v-park and all the all these terms you can use You know, it's it's all At the end basic, you know Yeah, yeah, no, it's a good point. Um, and uh, allen We just went over I timed you at five minutes So, uh, if you have any kind of closing comments, let's let's move on to the next one just the closing comment is that I added a I started to add timing sales on the right side because um When an iceberg is excellent because that iceberg executed 42 It's an iceberg. So you you just see You just see the 42, but there's more underneath there, right? There's more trade underneath it So when the iceberg if you you can see the full execution of the iceberg Uh in the timing sales, so you feel like full of mental. So like if you see you see you see in the time sales, it's like a 73 It goes 10 10 15 73. Yeah. Yeah. So that when I saw 73 or whatever That's took out to me that the iceberg was It was executed, you know, that all those rise first being executed and I can see more See it on the chart and see the real numbers and timing sales That's all for today. Yeah But All right. All right. Thank you allen. Um, thank you. All right. Let's thank slow slow down. Thank you for You're very welcome Uh bb trader Yeah, this this one will be a little quicker. Um, so Bb trader submitted four images. So I just kind of cropped them all into one to make it a little easier to review um Basically overall, I'm just looking for a little more clarity and explanation behind the trade thesis Um, I made a couple points of what I find to be interesting But I kind of rather hear it from you in a little more detail rather than uh, than me just guessing so, um, like What we can see you've labeled is uh entry after view app absorption by passive sweeps at buyer level And then you've included the bar charts for before and after down below um And that's all great. It gives us kind of a higher time frame perspective Oh, and of course your target exit 20 pips um, I would kind of want to know like what What kind of order flow elements? Are really or are giving you the confidence to take this entry um So like the couple things that I see as being points of interest, um, where I put the number one on the far left image Um, once we transact the liquidity around 2684 we see liquidity added lower to support the bid And then we see that sweep activity right back around the same level Um, so that's all all of a sudden becoming a level of interest Is this it here slowdown? Yeah, yeah that and then to the left you can see where kind of the liquidity Transacted exactly so right in the same location So something's going on there So I find that interesting But I kind of want to know why you would find it interesting or maybe some of the other academy members would want to hear a bit more Your insight on that. Um, we also see where I put number two the liquidity is following price higher on the bid so like Between Sorry between the liquidity moving higher And that sweep activity like there's definitely something happening here and it is like I guess I'm wondering is this the criteria for entry for you Or like what are you kind of doing? You know to decide to actually pull the trigger and enter once we get above vwap Or is it just simply We're above vwap and now it's time for a long You know, maybe just give us a little more detail As to how you make this actionable You know looking at the chart below right where we are bruce the before chart You can see I've added the blue arrow and it looks like we've just kind of picked stops at the previous swing Which is interesting to me like maybe that's You know the area of interest that's got you kind of curious, but the fact that that's happening Um, you know our sweep activity and our liquidity is happening at that exact level, you know There could be something to it. I would just like to hear it more in your words than mine really and finally Why exit at 20 pips? I've looked through some of your other slides and it seems that it's not like a standard set exit price for you So maybe just a quick little piece of detail on why you might exit there I drew the blue arrow as my best guess like you're trading back into volume kind of like we were just talking about with allen That's probably where the point of control is so is it just a simple mean reversion trade Or is there something more to it Again, either way, I just kind of like to hear it in your words A little bit more detail rather than me just kind of guessing Yeah, I don't know if he's in here So you can raise your hand Oh Stan's raised his hand Stan do you have a comment? I don't see bb in here. So I think okay, let's move on And invite stan up anyway, um All right, uh See I yeah, I I'm with you on this slowdown. I um also like It's getting interesting over here. Uh what you had documented and for the reasons that you mentioned with the liquidity and and You know the they're they're starting to build up and and bid up underneath again and the market's reacting to that to the to the buy side Uh and then trading back into to vwap up in here um, but uh, yeah, I it's You're kind of you know guessing here like what what exactly We can see these things. It would just be good to for you to articulate these things uh So that we can better understand Where you're coming from and that's a big part of this uh documentation or journaling process so that um, you can uh Really understand what you're looking at and you have to communicate it to others that that kind of keeps your feet to the fire It makes you more accountable So Um, let's see anything else slowdown No, that's kind of it. Um, you know, I think uh We covered it. We did flags with steven mean reversion and springs with uh allen and then just asked bb trader for a little bit more explanation Uh on what they're submitting and and that's kind of it for me this week. Okay. Excellent Thank you so much slowdown. That was uh, that was excellent Uh guys look at this feedback I mean you're getting top-notch feedback. Um I don't know. I hope you appreciate it. I I certainly I appreciate the coaching uh for sure uh and um And I I what I love to see is when we see this in the community like in the discord Uh and the discussions back and forth really great. I mean you guys are learning from each other in fact In fact we can jump in here Uh And uh, I think I'll even start I I've got a bunch of uh people in here Uh, but I'm going to start with crash f16 um, I'm afraid to open the mic with him, but uh, I'm just just kidding crash, but like uh, um I wanted to start here because this um segues right into this uh, look look what um, uh, he had uh, uh written in here like, um Oh, maybe it wasn't in here. Maybe it was in in discord. He says, you know, you guys keep coming back and and uh Let me try to find it in discord or maybe someone can but like uh He had the text uh description And it was like, you know that his work other people are are Learning from it. They're inspired by it. Uh, they have questions for crash He continues to go through his setup and get better and better at it And uh, you know, it's helping everybody. It's helping him and then it's helping the community And and that makes it, you know, something special basically Uh, and that that was really the big thing because otherwise like, you know, it's the same setup like, you know, again and again It's just a better example here. It's more refined. Look at these things that he's looking at in here He's got his market pulse hitting his um Uh, um cvd Okay, uh, and uh market pulse hitting several times here Right cvd, uh, and then uh, he's looking at the the bi volume in here the delta volume I mean, this is just hitting you over the head You know and this is this is a strong move to the from the downside here And you're looking at a reversal pattern in here and on a just a double bottom You know, this is this is a strong pattern in here. It's really telling you something and Just looking for those buyers to come in and lift it at this point. So, uh Yeah, nice move and then look at the flag pattern after that Uh beauty. So here's your consolidation Or let me draw it up on Just just so you know, there's multiple things to take a look at here, you know, here's your consolidation Uh, here is your um your your impulse move here on strong volume Uh, here's your low volume pull back, right? Look at the volume in here Uh, and then here's your impulse move again, right? Uh start targeting your high liquidity. You're good to go Right and you know another thing this is something that I I love seeing in in crash Crash's work Uh is the trade management Uh, so he's getting in a few contracts Uh, and he's you know, he's he's going with micros just just to kind of reduce some risk and Uh, and then he's adding in legging in here On the on the breakout at the at a great area here is it starting to break the small consolidation in here Uh, and uh, you know, I don't know if you're legging out in some of these areas You're holding and looking for back to vwap up here or I I know crash you even looking at at r for the day on some of the bigger swings. So Great great stuff And uh, yeah, well, let's open the mic, but we got to put a timer on Sorry about that Bruce you're killing me Sorry, sorry about that 30 seconds here I only talk more when you guys ask me questions. So I can be brief. Yeah, you know, um I'll tell you what in the last month the the progression Both the volume and progression of quality detail Uh on the charts that everybody is putting in here. I don't know if everybody else still is the same way But like literally just in the last It's taken another level. So good job to everybody. I love reading everything and and learning from everybody And and I am learning from everybody as well. I even learned from donkey. Believe it or not He just needs to stop putting so much stuff on one chart, but uh, I'm teasing you donkey On this on this slide, I don't have anything more to say Bruce. You kind of tied it all in Uh, I just want to make one point. I trade a lot of different setups 80 90 percent are in the continuation of the trend kind of a first pullback first touch type views That's why a lot of the slides look like I'm catching a falling knife But for me, I have my system of a pullback And then I also have several trade setups that are specific reversal long But when I take the reversal long just so everybody understands I will list out all the confluence that you can see down there That gives me a lot of confidence In taking that trade because I firmly believe you don't want to use this as a tool To catch a falling knife Now there's a lot of different scenarios, right? There's a reversal There's a pullback into continuation of the trend. It can be a sideways Market where it's just ping pong and you know back and forth off of uh, you know A channel on the top and a line on the bottom Create that channel in that case you could just you know go vpi spike to vpi spike so A lot of different ways to trade the market pulse vpi Uh cvd combination This just happens to be one that is a reversal But there was a ton of confluence and if you guys can start learning to have the confluence Go along with the other stuff that you're seeing in book map, right book map is amazing But when you add some confluence to it it enhances precise trade entries And that's why uh, I feel like I'm able to leg in small At the lower level where maybe other people wouldn't want to do it because they don't want to risk that But if I see a fibo if I see the s2 pivot If I see a couple of my other structural lines that are by indications for me I will take those trades, but uh, and then leg it out. Yes. I use liquidity always For legging out that liquidity that I see on book map And I try to use book map liquidity In addition with other markers, whether it's what vpok on the screen Or whether it's other structural targets that I have that go with my you know, because I'm trying to catch 50 75 point moves That's like my goal So I have structural targets that I'm using to catch those and sometimes what I'll do bruce like what you said I'll leg out at that first Impulse move up. I will I will a lot of times cash in Raise my stop up to where that leg in leg out on the w breakout is I wait for that pull back again I will add it that pull back and I put my stop underneath the leg in And then that way I take some profit at that first impulse move up I've pad my piggy bank I wait for the first pull back again after that because we're doing the Set up that you guys have all talked about here for the last 10 minutes And then I'll add back in and continue to write it up to my other structural points or other liquidity zones So enough said Excellent excellent. Yeah, this is this is something I just wanted to make one more comment on that I really really like in here Is the trade management you're you're you're marrying a few different things in here that I think is They're really good matches one is the trading strategy with the right market and then also with the right trade management Uh, and you really got something here. So Um, because this is not going to be the same on the es There's a reason you're trading the nq Uh, in fact, you're using the es more as a correlation Um, that's right and and it's great, uh, because uh The the trade management is such an important part I mean first we need to know we have an edge, but that trade management is is really what's going to be able to define your your risk and In risk reward and really stretch it out in the reward side Uh, and and reduce the risk as well And we're going to do more and more of that. I keep keep saying that but we are uh, and uh, you're you're already doing it. It's great Thanks everybody. Thanks. All right. Thank you crash. Um, let's uh, let's move on and uh, so I don't think dove is in here dove's kind of a long long time a book map academy member and Uh, he's you know, he's been making these screenshots for like I said for some years now You guys have probably come across him, you know several times But they're so simple Uh, but again that goes right back into Uh, this these these stages And you're really simplified what you're looking for and you know exactly what you're trading And and dove has that In fact, uh, you know, he he sees it, uh, you know price bouncing up here um, and uh He there's something in here that he's looking at actually will show in the next slide just a little bit better But entry uh in here can't get through. He's got high liquidity in here very simple stuff High liquidity up in here. Uh, you're you're seeing it that not just not making it through here Selling short, uh, and then looking for a move back back down And uh, yeah, we'll go over over this here. He's drawing a line basically. Um, I think this line is actually, uh The uh a channel line, but um Anyway, here this is this one is the one I want to show. Uh, this is something that it resonates with him Yeah, this is that um Higher high for the day type type of line here. Um, uh, he's looking at these big volume dots Uh, and he's looking for pullbacks to these big volume dots in here Uh, this this is uh, this is his thing Or one of his things along with these other confluences in here Right now look, he's trading multiple markets here. So here's the nq Uh, previously we're looking at uh, what was this? I think it was uh It was euro dollar or something. Uh, yeah, it's the uh 6e right? Uh, and and this was an hour later Uh, was the uh nasdaq and then uh, it's it's even it's kind of similar strategy A little bit different or different variation looking for the pullbacks into that where the sellers came in took control Looking for it to uh, you know, he's seeing the structure here starting to change Uh short here taking it down I mean so simple Uh, but he knows exactly what he's looking for Uh, and uh, I I think it was worthy to to go through this Uh, and again, here's another one. Uh, and then this was another hour later or so now he's looking at the e s Identifying just these simple things but look at this massive wall of liquidity down here And then he sees sellers coming in coming in coming in this is that bouncy ball effect that daniel had mentioned We'll go over that in just a few minutes and then He's long here Right looking for the move back kind of mean reversion type of thing And just identifying these these simple elements but It looks easy But it's not it, you know, his the process is Going through identifying a lot of elements understanding how the markets work Focusing on the things then that work for you And then now you've got your trading plan and you're looking only for specific things All right, so let's move on uh Caesar uh and uh tesla so um, uh, yeah great documentation here You're doing a great job. I look that you have your higher time frame candles in here as well in the overlay uh and um You know what you're looking for in your higher time frame Uh, I believe it's a pivots, right? I can't remember Uh, if it's you or someone else, um, and then uh, we can open the mic. I don't know if you're in here, caesar but uh, then um Ah, there there's a a few nice things in here. Um, so you know what you're looking for in your order flow So you're also marrying these two things together. Uh, so you've got your um Uh, yeah, let's see here. Yeah, you're you got your privates. You got your r4 up here Uh, you're hitting into that now. You're looking at book map Okay, what do you have? Beautiful example of exhaustion in here, uh tesla, uh, you know, look at even the way that this is approaching up here Uh, here you got your high liquidity here. You got your lack of buying exhaustion on the buy side selling coming in Higher liquidity at lower levels stair stepping down Uh, and then you're looking for uh, the move back down and into uh, uh, well, you also have your r3 Yeah, uh that you're looking for taking your profit. This is something else in here that was really really nice. Um On the next image, uh, you know, you're kind of um, you have this dialogue again You know higher time frame pivots, uh order flow to gain the insight and really nicely going through these these examples But this dialogue you've got going with yourself um bb trader, uh, it could take a lesson here. I think from uh, from caesar because uh Here he's like saying, uh, I didn't hold on to my target You know, I again and he's kind of being hard on himself uh, but uh, what I I really like here is um, uh, well You know the reason to actually for his trades and why he got out, etc And I think he I think he did the right thing. So I think you're being too hard on yourself Absolutely, you did the right thing. Uh, these this was a beautiful exit down here. Uh, and uh, but it did hit your target But look at this big big pullback here. Do you want to sit through that? I mean you can even like look to re-enter in some of these other areas. Um, but um Uh, anyway, uh, this dialogue and kind of self-reflection Uh, do this in your journaling. I think it's serving you really well So uh, caesar, do you have any any comments? Uh, thanks bruce. Uh, I'd like to shout out Yeah, I'd like to shout out rob or both members of not holding where we want to hold But yeah, it's I'm still balancing with my exits where Like reading the short-term price action and book map Versus what's you know, where my target is There's a whole thing of accepting my risk. I know where my risk is I got a great entry there. You know, I probably had a 10 cent risk. So Sorry, um on on uh, microsoft, is that right? Yeah, okay. Yeah Because you can see how well the level worked right if you look at the candle chart We tested it twice and then came down after my initial entry So had I just accepted my risk there, you know, I think I I should have held their scaled out not gotten out all the way but regardless I mean, I think in the long run for every time I Take the profits here like was mentioned in the chat earlier by shark and other people, you know It'll serve me well in the long run. It's just a scaling out. But uh Yeah, I mean having All the everyone else is like crash said the the level of Uh content that's posted here how much I've learned from everyone, you know book map It's so intimidating at first but with the help of everyone here the academy. It's been great to really Hit the ground running and feel that quick improvement as you start breaking everything down and you see everyone else How simple they can truly make it Yeah, fantastic. Um, yeah, uh, you know, you're you're like in you're definitely in stage two here, uh, You know kind of knocking on the door in stage three Uh, so keep keep up the good work Uh, you know, I I think some of these things need some, you know, in you know You're being hard on yourself Holding for a technical level when the the auction and the behavior might be telling you something different I mean, this is a steep pullback and there's a lot of buy volume on this I think this is a great area to exit personally Um, and uh, you you took a nice chunk out, uh, then this went back up against you, you know and ultimately hit your target but like It's technical who cares? I mean the technical level it's it's about the behavior here. Um, you know Anyway, uh, just a a point on that that that's all Thanks, ruse. Yeah, I use the technical levels for my where where am I interested in looking at the book? Where am I interested in seeing what's going on in the price action? Right and book map to tell me when Okay, now is when you get in because it's you know, doing what I expected to do at the technical level So the exits I I'm doing the same thing But being more focused on the book versus my technical level Yeah, well well said Yeah, thank you Let's let's move on if if there's anything else Caesar else we'll move on with with Daniel No, that's all. Thanks very much ruse. Okay. Thank you Uh, Daniel you're you're new in here also just knocking out of the park here really great stuff I don't know if you're in here Okay, okay. Um, all right, so, uh Yeah, so I replied it so we're trying to do this now If you guys reply in the book map academy room, we'll reply right in there to your to your stuff I don't want to disrupt other people's rooms, etc. Oh, you can disrupt my room, but that's fine But like other people's rooms I don't want to give feedback for your book map academy stuff unless it's in the academy room You guys can just double post it. That's fine. So if you you know post in Someone else's room and then you want to come over and post it in Book map academy room that that's fine. We'll give the feedback there So so anyway, um There's a lot of stuff going on in here. Um, again higher time frame as well Really nice. So let's let's jump in so um What he had noticed on the higher time frame volume profile Okay, uh and uh coming up and you can see it on this this one down here Uh the um your value area high value value area low coming right up to it here So you got you got your um your profile reasoning For uh something to happen up in these levels and it already had responded once And then here's the retest backup to respond again So uh now Starting to like zoom in and start to look at book map Uh, and this was great. All right. So what do we got here? We have we have a high liquidity okay, um High liquidity on the offer here and it trades Right now, uh, it trades through it. Uh, so not by much But we even have higher liquidity and look how they're bidding or offering down here as well Uh, now the market's still hanging out up here And there is someone on the bid and and stair stepping up in these areas here as well, uh, however, um So that this made me kind of I actually saw this trade as well. I was demoing it to a uh potential partner uh and um We were covering it. Um, so um But this structure in here is still bullish And that that made me kind of queasy Or uneasy Regardless, you had your higher time frame. You've got your high liquidity. You got higher liquidity lower levels in here Then you noted also, um Less buying in here And then the sellers come in and move it pretty pretty quickly away The one thing that uh, you've also got your market polls, uh pinging to the buy side up in here Yet failing to go higher Okay, so you even have some maybe some potential divergence in there on the market polls This is something crash looks at as well. Uh, and then, um, uh, what you have is the, um Uh, this one was my favorite part was the correlation with nasdaq and look how weak it is in here So, you know, here's your high here. It's lower in here and it's even lower here So not only these two points, but you even have another one over here. Uh, so uh that Kind of makes and in this was my kind of personal opinion Uh, when I was looking at this it was like, yeah, I hope this works like because I also saw a stop run in here Which you don't have stops and icebergs, but it was a stop run as well market polls There was a lot of things in here and it's like it should drop or we should get some sort of, um, you know Move back into the range, uh, and but it was still just kind of chopping up here But you you really identified it nicely here with your correlation Uh, it was weak and uh, and then the the es followed suit So great great job on that Really like that correlated market in there So I don't know if you're still in here, uh, and then uh another one that uh, uh, daniel had posted here was, um the this kind of just I love this too talking about the community again, uh, just, um Uh You know throwing this in there. Have you ever got have you guys ever noticed that this bouncy ball, uh, you know into liquidity here? So, uh, you know kind of bounces you get a higher bounce you get another bounce It's a little lower bounce another bounce. It's a little lower etc. Absolutely Uh, you know, you see it all the time Uh, and uh, is hitting this liquidity just not finding enough buyers Uh hitting it again not finding enough. I mean look at the exhaustion In some of these areas in here So this is really it's it's very telling In here in here Yeah, I mean some buying but not really much and look at the structure And they can't get even back up. They're not even retesting this and this is that's dove's Uh thing was that you know that big, uh sell dot up here Uh, and they can't even get back up in there. You got higher liquidity up in here Uh on the offer. It's out of lower area lower area pushes it right into it. Uh, beautiful stuff. So Uh, yeah, you'll you'll see this, uh many many times over Uh and um or some sort of variation Of it, you know sometimes like we see it during the, um Uh cash uh or during the during the webinars, you know, you got might get this big move it kind of Or just even shy of it, uh, and then you get some sort of reversal pattern here around, you know 10 30 or 11 or so And then it comes down not only trades into it. It trades through it. Uh, so Yeah, different variations of this stuff, but yeah, this this happens frequently. So nice, um I just like the kind of fuel and approach of just calling it this bouncy ball and and uh Have you have you guys notice this pattern great great place to share it? Uh, and uh, better understanding of the How the markets function operate. So Good good stuff on that. Um All right guys. Well, let's let's see now. There's um, I'm finished. Uh, and uh, you know stan, uh, also, uh went through some, uh Images in here, uh and gave some feedback to rob any v Uh and aj And uh and and use your account uh zero zero one here, uh, so Um, there's some really great stuff in here guys like I was looking through it earlier stan went last time uh And god, I I really want to go through it, but we're already over an hour So what I think we'll do is I'm just gonna, um post this stan. Is this okay with you if I just post this into the chat um and If you're okay with that because uh It's really great. Uh in really great, uh feedback and coaching here, um and Very worthy of uh going through this guy. So I would just say go ahead and take a look. Let me um I'm gonna post all of them in here So that you guys can access it right and uh here's slowdowns as well Okay There you go, uh, and that's it for today. Uh, so uh, we kept it around an hour. Uh, and uh I don't know what else to say guys really great work. Um for all the various points that we had mentioned Uh, and uh, yeah, keep it up. Uh dnt. Uh matter. Um, you know, congrats to the book map academy uh, and anyone out there who's Mildly interested in this you can go to the book map.com academy page in here and you can sign up and request a spreadsheet, etc And you're good to go All right, that's it. Uh, thank you everybody and uh have a Good rest of your evening. Uh, we'll meet up tomorrow for the all markets webinar at uh 10 eastern Uh, and we'll uh, we'll mention this and go through some other stuff as well Uh, and uh and take it from there. All right. So, uh, yeah, thanks everybody and we will catch you tomorrow
