 Okay Going in YouTube now So Welcome everybody to the webinar going in this is our protrader webinar We haven't had one in quite a while and this one has a little bit of different flavor to it It is one of the book map Academy members here who has done some excellent work recently With the market pulse tool using the market pulse tool So we thought we'd come up with some of his use case scenarios and he will present how he uses this tool And how he trades that should be really helpful for everybody So crash is a former fighter pilot that Focuses on trading overextended moves back into the range on the ES and the NQ and other markets a friend of his Introduced book map to him and he says it's like having radar to help refine his edge He utilizes such tools as market pulse to develop his unique trading style Crash f-16 is a blue jacket winner and a prominent member of the book map Academy program Gotta go through the risk disclosures and then a couple of Housekeeping things and then we'll turn it right over to crash general disclosure all book map limited materials information and presentations are for educational purposes Educational purposes only it should not be considered specific investment advice nor recommendations risk disclosure trading futures equities and digital currencies Involves the stanchal risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors Fast performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. I just wanted to mention here about the book map Academy Since he is a new rather new member. He hasn't been in very long However, his content is extremely good at a very high level and he's producing a lot of it, which has been really helpful I'll put the link in here if you're interested into the chat and You can you can join the Academy program if you like you just read read through it He's also the recent blue jacket competition winner This this month November and so he's got a lot of interesting insights You guys can win months of a global plus and include data So we'll also put the link here for the blue jacket if you're interested in this competition In the chat now you can do both of these programs together Now you can do the Academy and the blue jacket together Have a look the links and we'll take it from there and then yeah crash. Why don't you? Then and I will share your screen here and we'll get going All right test test how do you hear me? Yep? Awesome well, thanks everybody for joining today, I certainly appreciate Bruce and the entire team Dan Owen at the book map Side of the house. I'm glad to be here. Thank you for inviting me And hopefully this will be a talk that people will get something out of I Know there's a lot of pros out here that are involved with book map in this channel I don't claim to be a pro trader or or a pro book map user for that matter I Know there's a lot of traders out there who probably know a lot more than I do and have and I still have a lot to learn But that being said I do have a system that works for me And I have taught it to multiple people and it seems to work for those So for those people if it can help you and any insight you get from today I hope it helps your trading. I want this talk to be informative interesting and not too long We'll be somewhere between, you know 40 to 60 minutes if we go that long depending on questions Since it's my first opportunity to speak with the audience and the pro series I'm just going to give a little bit more on my background and Bruce you can see my screen Yep, all's good Okay, sounds good. So a little bit of background about me. I have a long military heritage Actually going all the way back to George Washington and his mother Mary ball believe it or not So, you know immediately I'm like fifth generation Military that picture up in the top left-hand corner is my dad and I he flew for about 26 years I was in for 20. We actually got a chance to fly together in the military and F-15s I was an instructor pilot and gliders at the Air Force Academy. We got to fly together those And I got to fly with him pilot co-pilot at Southwest Airlines for a couple years as well So had some pretty cool experiences. My call sign is crash It's usually from something silly or stupid that you do in the military And so my discord handle was crash F-16 if you want to look me up and try to DM me I have had some other cool experiences in my life. You can see that picture up on the top right hand Corner there is my claim to fame. I got to fly F-16s with Steve Irwin the crocodile hunter before he passed away Unfortunately for him and his family great guy, but a lot of fun That bottom low-hand picture is a picture of my radar In the F-16 That's the USS Enterprise in case you didn't recognize it, but no I didn't actually have it on radar But I have seen some pretty interesting things throughout my years flying the F-16 And then after I got out of Southwest Airlines because I only did it for a few years I actually went into corporate insurance in the aviation side of the house and I got to do some Aviation insurance for the zero gravity corporation. I don't know if you guys know who they are but they do the parabolic flight maneuvers They train the astronauts. They filmed matrix on there. They've done seven up commercials flew Stephen Hawkins And just had a whole bunch of fun I flew with Rick Sirfoss the Astronaut down there in the picture on the right, which you probably can't see very well But again just had some some cool stuff. I've had to do in my life I do have a little bit of combat time over in the Middle East in the F-16 So more than happy to talk about that later on Bruce likes to ask me a lot of questions and his question He asked me The first couple times we talked is is it really that fun? So I'll let that picture speak for itself and you tell me what you think but It's the most incredible roller coaster that you could ever Imagine controlling On your own you want to go upside down you go upside down you want to do a split s you do a split s So it is fantastically fun and dangerous unfortunately, I've lost a lot of friends to impacting the ground Hitting birds hitting other aircraft hitting wires through the mountains So there's a lot of stuff you do have to be careful with when you're doing it But it is definitely a lot of fun So I have a philosophy that I basically got handed down to me from my grandfather to my dad to me And that I try to take that and apply it to trading And so that philosophy is be an expert at something having the attitude that no job is too small to do right The best job that you could ever have is the one you got Your attitude determines your altitude and when you go into a new place New job for example ask the person with the most stripes on their sleeve to teach you everything They know regardless of their rank or position in relation to you So how do we actually apply that to trading? Well being an expert of something Listen, if you're gonna trade and you want to do it for money or you want to do it, you know Very few people can actually do it Full-time job But if you're gonna you better get that honorary PhD in trading and you better master at least three to six Different setups and I would highly recommend mastering book map as a way to do that because from my experience Like Bruce said about a year and a half ago. I was introduced to book map It completely changed my trading it really did and now with the market pulse I'll go over a little bit more. I'm getting even more specific Entries out of it and it's just been a fantastic thing So do your homework get that honorary PhD in trading and really become an expert at something Otherwise, you're not going to make it in the industry No job or no trade is too small to do right. So every single trade matters every stop-loss matters Every risk management that you want that you could think of matters because it's all about the capital preservation The best job you could ever have is the one you got and a be a professional trader in every aspect Don't let your emotions rule the day right attitude has a lot to do a lot of people fail because of psychology because of mental attitude As a pilot we had to learn to Compartmentalize you couldn't let what happened 10 seconds ago When you're flying 500 miles an hour at 500 feet above the ground Impacts you what you're doing in the next 30 seconds. So don't let what happened on the last trade affect the next one Let it be done and over if you lost you lost move on to the next one and make it up when you win act like you've been there before You know, don't let the emotions be too high Don't let them be too low when you lose don't try to don't crawl up in a fetal position and cry if you are crying You're probably trading too much You're trading with too much size or your risk and money that you really don't have to lose So you better analyze your your situation When you start a new job or in this case when you start trading Get a mentor have some humility if you've been in the business for 15 years And you're still not green and profitable Get into somebody's training room get into the bookmap Academy and ask people to teach you I've been trading for quite a while, but I still like to ask a lot of questions and the blue jackets And the bookmap Academy rooms And I've gotten some very very valuable feedback So get mentored always being somebody's training room to learn something new In combat you have to have a strategic and a tactical game plan the same thing in trading, right? I've already mentioned it. You got to be a professional. I would highly highly recommend that you journal absolutely everything When you're flying jets, you know, you have to prepare for the mission the night before the day before you're gonna actually fly Coming into the day of flying you have to brief before you go fly for a couple hours And we had something called training rules TRs that we would brief every single mission they hung up on a wall so everybody could see them and Every flight you went over them because they were written in blood and they were written in blood meaning that somebody died Flying and that's why we took one of those rules and applied it for everybody to see every day So that nobody else has to go through that same process So in trading you there's rules that you need to follow to keep from blowing up your account You better know what they are things like having stop loss good risk management procedures and Then after you go a brief you're gonna go flight right you're gonna go actively trade You got to have sometimes you have checklist to refer to as you're going through the process of trading So you make sure that you're analyzing things appropriately and then sometimes there's a bold phase that you handle for emergency procedures There's there's something that you memorize a situation a pattern and when you become that expert and you have those three to six Entries some of them you're just gonna need to know how to do so you can enter and exit a trade very quickly Because things happen fast particularly when you're trading futures And you don't always have time to refer to a checklist to make sure hey is the volume good here Did I get a pullback with higher volume afterward? You know you the checklist is good, but sometimes you just got to know the procedures by heart And then when you're done you got to have a debrief right you bring out the six shooters So what when we were flying at 16's you had a four ship all four guys would come back into a room So let's say it's your trading room share with other people what you're journaling what your trades were and You pull out the six shooters meaning you know you point them at each other and you go With the pistol and you say this is what you did wrong This is what you did wrong these are the rules you broke so that the next time you go trade You don't make the same mistakes again and when you walk into the room You know you let the truth fly and you don't get your feelings hurt And then when you leave the the trading room everybody's friends again because you realize hey that constructive Criticism is just going to make you a better trader So get your lessons learned create an act for action report and become that professional trader that you need to be Bruce mentioned it. I trade futures and options. I'm 80% NQ. I do the ESY MCL Gold and ZB I'm always monitoring the ES and I prefer Personally to always monitor Apple and Microsoft on book map as well and I'll give some examples of why I do that But the NQs a little a strange beast right the Tasmanian devil and sometimes you just can't see things As clearly so having the ES Apple and Microsoft Up there really helps with the trading. How do I trade? Well, trading is both an art and a science, right? So my when I say art am I talking about flying by the seat of your pants? Definitely not you can't do that You'll lose too much money but there is some You know we call it TLR in the military T. L. A. R. You hold your thumb up in front of your eye and say Hey, that looks about right Because you just can't have perfect technical analysis all the time Another art is I personally trade with time-based rotations Which are windows of opportunity with a proven bias in a certain direction And so there's a little bit of art to that time-based rotations Interpretation of things like options flow to aid with your futures trading or if you're looking at book map, right? There's some interpretation there particularly when we're gonna start talking about some of the things that are new beta testing right now with market Pulse we don't have a complete firm grasp on on how to use it completely So there's a little bit of an art to using this and I'll try to go over some examples That will basically help decide when and when not to use those It is a little bit of a science. So you better know how to do some technical analysis Ask people to teach you if you don't know And when you do your trade setups, I would make sure that those trade setups have been backtested Bruce talks about this quite a bit in his book map series every week when he's Showing people in the room The the book map itself So you got to have some backtesting to the trades that you're going to be taking and then and then again Master those master three to six trades and become an expert know them inside and out so that you can actually make money and be profitable I'm a huge proponent of having confluence and I'll go over that today on some of my slides But hey listen use all the weapons in your arsenal all the tools in your tool bag all the arrows in your quiver You need to be able to you know, you're not going to necessarily be a master of Of everything but you do want to be the jack of all trades and have a pretty big tool bag to use And I'll show you some of the stuff that I use today. I Use a combination of very specific setups the technical analysis the time-based trading Which I'll go just very briefly into I prefer to follow the trend and momentum, but I will counter trend I do have some very specific setups that do counter trend trading I have posted some of those in the book map Academy room if you want to see more than what I'm able to show you today You can see how I'll enter a trade and use market pulse actually For example to not catch a falling knife. I do like the extremes I like this to have things come way out of whack and then catch huge points You know 50 70 100 points to get them back into You know that mean reversion type trade I like to trade and get in early with precision and this is actually a big debate for today's discussion Because you got to decide what's best for you. I probably don't trade exactly the way Bruce Particularly explains when he's going over book map in the room each week But I'm going to show you why I do what I do and if you can learn from that and it helps you then great But you got to have a reason for what you're doing Book map itself does have a checklist obviously you can see that here in the picture to the right It helps you to go through a step-by-step process to make sure that you enter into a trade. That's low risk And high probability with high profitability But there in my mind is a little bit more of a debate playing the extremes with the market pulse Indicators particular VPI And so if you were to follow the book map checklist You might actually miss some of the trades that in my opinion VPI helps you to get into You could wait for a breakout on volume As the checklist might describe or you can decide to potentially lag in on market pulse VPI And try it again a little bit early and get an extra seven to twenty points before the checklist Would actually get you into the trade? Again, the checklist though may prevent you from getting into a bad trade So there's going to be a little bit of an art as well as the science to using the checklist to using the market pulse indicators Any questions at this point in time Bruce? Yeah, let's see here. I don't think so This and I to Score no Okay, nothing yet Sounds good. I'll keep going them Okay trade setups for my opinion You need to use all time frames be able to see the force through the trees and that's on You know a monthly weekly daily intraday chart and on book map It's zooming in and out because you will see if you're zoomed out, you know potentially a hundred VPI spikes potentially red at the bottom green at the top, which one do you use? Well, you need to be able to zoom in a little bit better to pick those particular VPI spikes At the point in time, which you're you're trying to decide on entering into a trade I myself have about 10 pre-divine Pre-defined setups that are on a 15 a five and a three-minute window I do a lot of first pullback rules after strong moves to kind of follow into the checklist with book map Getting into some of the moves that it describes there in that checklist. I do snipe all day long I personally like to be playing in the market more than not playing. I'm constantly trying to get a fuel And I will use micros to do that and what that does is it helps me catch moves that I might otherwise miss My sniping chart is a 10-4 Renko. I have ATRs on there. They're proprietary ATRs from a software That that does auto calculating ATRs, I know that there's some other experts in the pro series that also use ATRs And those are manually calculated the ones I use are actually Auto calculating very similar to what I've seen in some of the other pro-back series pro series webinars and then obviously I Use Sierra chart to trade And I use book map Now book map is become In the last six months my number one tool and now in the last two months since I've been doing a market pulse Man, has it really given me some precise Engineering and dissecting trades and I'm going to go over that but to me, you know flying the F16 You had a radar to keep track of all the bogeys and the bandits out there all the targets all the liquidity zones all the icebergs Right, and this is like having a trading radar in my opinion with book map Book map allows you to follow the money right? It's pure order flow trading provides insight influence conviction And it seriously gives you an edge in my opinion The liquidity zones with market pulse is a trader's dream a picture is worth a thousand words, right? You get the best of both words worlds as a pilot I like that 50,000 God's I view that macro view that book map can give you and then when you zoom in a book map It's like having a treasure map right with the yellow brick road Dorothy follow it to the trade follow it to profitability And what market pulse actually provides is very precise entries when you use it correctly It's going to give you the ability to have higher built probability trades It's going to give you the ability to lock in more points And it's going to give you the ability to have reduced risk because it's I'm going to show you how to let you have tighter stop loss And it definitely helps prevent catching a falling knife. I Had somebody DM me the other day about my settings and for me I have just let my eyes get gauged to the standard settings There's one setting that I have listed on here if you can see it that I do change and that's the VPI volume pressure Threshold I put it from my I think it's 70 default and I put it down to 50 And the reason is because it ends up chiming in just a little bit sooner With the notifications, so I don't know how many of you guys trade or pay for like a tick strike type sound I know other pro traders in the series that present each week also have the same thing Listen, sometimes you need that sound to kind of trigger you to pay attention to what's going on in the chart You're like me you got eight. I have eight windows open right eight screens With a bunch of different charts and sometimes, you know You can lose track of what's going on and the sound effects from the VPI and the VP for me particularly Really key in on when I need to be paying really precise Attention, let's say, you know, you went to go get a cup of coffee You left your den door open where you're trading and I turn the volume up I go get that coffee and all of a sudden I hear that beep and coming in that tick strike coming in Man, I run back to the computer and see what's going on So it's really a lot of benefit to having the sound on the market pulse indicators as well All right, my strategic game plan This is where I want to try to come up with something that hopefully is a little bit practical for everybody in the room And the reason I'm going over this is because I've gotten some questions from some people And I've had some discussions in discord Particularly in the book from book map users So I'm gonna share with you my pre-brief my practical ATM setup It's great for cash or prop accounts for those of you that are doing prop accounts whether it's you know apex take profit trader Top step whatever it is. There's a bunch of them out there. I used this setup just so you know I'm not just Saying things to say things but the setup that I'm showing you I have used in the last month to test out on prop accounts Just to see how well they'll do using market pulse And I am making on average 500 to $3,000 a day personally using the market pulse With this type of ATM setup. So if you're not having a green P&L and a greater than a 50% win ratio I would recommend if you're trading minis stop trading minis I had a conversation with somebody who's doing a couple different people actually were doing a two-lot system And I understand the two-lot system but in my opinion if you're doing Two minis and you're not profitable doing that change it to change trading micros do 20 micros and Leg in and leg out because you can get in a little bit sooner and you can scale out to capture Cash on the way up and then you control your stops up after you're a little bit positive To make sure that the trade does not go against you And again, I have proven this with multiple accounts in the last month and a half Just doing this type of trading that I'm going to finish going over And then if you're not using market Book map with market pulse tools highly recommend doing that after we have this conversation today My ATM setup is as follows six micros Okay, six micros. I have a target of 20 to 2 by 20 ticks 2 by 40 ticks 2 by 48 ticks That's going to give me about a hundred and eight dollars of profitability with a max a loss of 180 dollars If I put in a 60 tick or a 15 point stop now This is on the end queue might need to adjust this a little bit on the ES The reason I trade the end queue is because it moves faster and farther So if I'm able to be precise on my entries, I can capture more of a move instead of having that back and feeling Filling of the ES that you tend to get so often So I personally like to trade the end queue while monitoring the ES the ES is the 800 pound gorilla It's what's going to lead the charge But if you can find on book map for an example a great market pulse VPI spike to get into with some liquidity on on book map on the ES chance of thought it's going to also be equivalent to a similar location In the end queue as well, but this setup specifically is for the end queue If you start getting good at this you can change the first You know a couple lots to get out a little bit later instead of taking five points Maybe you do three lots at 40 at the 40 point target and three at the 48 to make a little bit more money You can also lay in and lay out. So the first time you lay in You can do six micros you get a breakout on volume you add another six micros now You're up to 12 micros, but you're still less than the 20 that you would have if you would have used a two-lot ES system All right Sometimes If I'm testing the waters I will own on market pulse VPI. I will only do Three lots at a time. All right, so I still keep the 20 40 and 48 point target But I just do it with three and then maybe I add another three and then maybe I add another three If because what I do is I cut my losses and I let my winners run So that's how I trade. I also raise I leave runners So if that if I'm profitable on the first 20 ticks and 40 ticks or the first four out of the six I will raise my last two Targets to greater than that 48 tick spot and then I just keep trailing my stops up So that I can capture a big move and what I'm going to show you is that if you leave the runners and trailing stops You know if you're sniping Specifically you're gonna only look for five to twelve points But if you're doing a specific trade setup that you're an expert in and you get in really precisely with market pulse I'm looking for 30 50 70 point moves, so I'll keep those two Micros and ride them all the way up to 50 70 points Hope everybody understands that please. Let me know if there's any questions Know the math if you are trying to be a professional trader You got to know how to calculate the stops you got to know how you calculate your profit targets And you got to know have a plan for growing your account There's a link here to a website that just gives you the ability to do compound interest calculation But from most of my experience and the people that I was mentored underneath And the people that I trade with on a day-to-day basis our game plan is to grow the account 1% per trading day Let's say you have a 10,000 account that you're starting off with trading real cash 1% so 100 bucks a day All right, you do 100 bucks a day on a $10,000 account You can see that the future value in this window. All right after a year is $73,000 That's by making a hundred bucks a day When in 200 out of 240 trading days a year to me that's doable if you can't make a hundred bucks a day Then you either need to stop trading or you need to go and sim and learn a few more lessons from somebody else To that so that you can get to the point where you can make at least a hundred bucks a day If you look at statistics from the prop traders They say that less than 20% are passing prop accounts And why is that probably because of poor trading entry? They're oversized. They have poor risk management And they don't have the psychology to go with trading full-time Finishing the the discussion about knowing the math. Let's say you take that trade All right of that. I just showed you and you win five trades out of the entire Day of trading now you got a little bit over five hundred dollars a day that you just made five simple trades Hundred bucks each. All right. If you are a minimum wage worker working 20 hour 20 bucks an hour at eight hours a day That's a hundred sixty bucks a day if your attorney that makes two hundred dollars an hour working an eight hour day You're making sixteen hundred bucks a day If you've got a car payment from some, you know, big truck or something nice car Let's say you're paying expensive something expensive eight hundred bucks a month Or you got a real nice house and you're paying a mortgage of four thousand bucks a month put things in perspective Because what happens when you start doing your account your prop accounts? People see that you can make all this money and they blow out accounts because they try to get the windfall trades Instead of just hitting the single basis every single time that you do that and that's what market pulse Plus vpi in my opinion helps you to do it gets you in at an extreme It allows you to make that five ten twelve points Get you five trades out of a single day. You got five hundred bucks a day now Let's say you have three prop accounts. All right three prop accounts times five hundred bucks is fifteen hundred bucks a day You just made what daddy attorney made and you paid for two or three cars He paid for half of your mortgage in one day of trading There's 20 trading days a month, right? If you made fifteen hundred bucks Times 20 days that's thirty thousand dollars a month So just keep that thought process in perspective So that you do not try to strike for the home runs or swing for the home runs every time you go to a trade I'm telling you stop doing the two or three four minis out there and start doing six to twenty Micros legging in and legging out and you will get to where you're making three to five hundred dollars a day for sure In my opinion if you follow these rules Okay Daily worksheet. This is going on to be in You know a professional fighter pilot professional trader. You have to train and brief the same way every single day So the bottom picture on the right is I create for me I drill everything I went from paper to use in one note on an iPad and on my computer And I use one note now because I can use it on my phone. I can use it on my iPad I can you know my use it on my computer and what what no matter where I'm at and I can travel for work or pleasure Still trade and keep track of all the stuff that I want to do on a daily basis and in one note. I create a Chapter right that's my daily trading log and I write notes in it all day long I write down key fibbos pivots the three-day central pivot zones gap fills What's my gamma levels if you subscribe to that with my Ludwig numbers if I subscribe to that I look for a line in the sand off a tee off a TPO charts and figure out where my you know Go-no-go line is profitable above or long above short below type situation And then I write down every single morning what I think my multi-day Rotation patterns with interest daily Rotations occur so some of you may not believe it but the market if you talk to people that worked on Wall Street Market works off of a multi-day cycle. Okay, it just does too much to go into For this discussion But the market works in multi-day rotations and then on an intraday basis You get three to five key rotations per day But some obviously sub moves and some days you have a straight-up day a trend day some days You're just going to have a consolidation day, you know After a big huge mark markup day you might just have some consolidation. So there's some fluctuations in there But research it there are multi-day rotations and there are many rotations within the day That you can take these trades to get five good trades to make that five hundred bucks a day Now in my opinion book map analysis is the way to go because you get to see all of that Why you get to follow the money you get to follow the institutions? And you get to see the detail that other retail traders cannot say see and if you're not working on Wall Street Then you need something that gives you that edge and book map is where you get that Okay, the liquidity zones are unbelievable now. I want to talk a little bit about ATR's average Average true range for the day If you were to put on an ATR indicator on a 60-minute chart versus a 10-minute chart It'll calculate what the move of whatever you're trading whether it's the ES or the NQ is so if you look at the last 10-day history of The NQ the daily trading range is somewhere between a hundred ninety and two hundred and five Points on average move top to bottom right the average Range that the market travels from and one of the things I like to do in my pre Market game plan is look at book map And I look at the ES and I look at the NQ from a zoomed-out view and I make a game plan I actually take a screenshot because liquidity zones do change But I take a screenshot and I analyze where I see those screens and so where I see those liquidity zones So in this example right here on the 1st of December, I Looked at the game plan for the day and I saw a liquidity zone at 45 95 on the ES my own technical analysis that I do I do both a daily Fibonacci and Then I do a multi-day Fibonacci and then on a 10 minute or 15 minute chart I do an intraday Fibonacci and I look for where those 50% and 61.8% lines are and how they match with book map liquidity For the ES it completely honors if you don't know much about Fibonacci's It honors the 50% and the 61.8% line if it's the NQ Then the NQ has a little bit more flexibility and it's usually somewhere between The 61.8% line and the 65% retracement line on a Fibonacci So just a small difference there between the ES and the NQ but in this example We've been We see that the Fibo price matches the target of 45 95 so that gives me something in my game plan on where to go Now if you look here, I have multiple zones. This is on the NQ. All right, and You can see that up at the top. We have 16,200 there's a liquidity zone and then down there at the bottom We have a liquidity zone of sixteen thousand one hundred ten at that time the ATR for the day was about a hundred eighty points, right? So I figure out with the inner-day rotations probably going to tag an upper and a lower zone of liquidity on the chart and Look at that. Here's sixteen two hundred on the top. This is on the Can't see it because the date is on here. I think it was on the first but anyways You can trade This was on a news reaction But I traded an hour and a half before the market for those of you that don't know an hour and a half before the market In my opinion RTH is an excellent time to trade because it gives you nice smooth price action without it being too choppy And you usually get a move in in some kind of direction opposite to where the market wants to go in its opening maneuver It also helps you to figure out what's going to happen when that news event comes out because you can see on the left here I see a book map zone of liquidity, right? And You can see the time frame for me a specific standard time that's zero five o'clock And we see a little point of consolidation there where the price moves up to the Liquidity zone bounces off consolidates rakes above the liquidity and then comes back around the 515 Area getting ready for news that was coming out at 530 and you see that initial reaction down on the news Now if you don't know how to trade the news or you don't know how to trade the mock the market on clothes There is almost always an initial reaction at both of those events news events and market on clothes wait for The initial reaction look for a VPI spike some other kind of coordination like volume in this example on my 530 news And I bought very small on that VPI spike The move I let you can see that the sweeps came down there at the 530 time frame Can you guys see my cursor Bruce or do I need to create it or can you see my arrow? Yes Okay, so you can see right here at 530 right we had a spike down Del sweeps with are the magenta dots here the circles down into stops a hundred and sixty one stops on Not that much volume still volume And then you had a VPI spike here and you have an immediate volume push come back in to drive the the price up Guess where that price went up to the 175 range Which is right up here our first zone of liquidity that we found in Pre-market zone of the day. All right, so that's just an example of how I used in one quick example VPI market pulse with the liquidity zone to get into a trade Now this is an easy scout for me because if I see a mass thick piece of liquidity and Price is coming up into the middle of it not the edge but the middle of it I'm going to leg in three micros and I'm going to take a chance on this market pulse VPI spike I get the stops coming up here. I've got the green market pulls VPI spikes Right, and I have the CVD line up here at the top. So I have a CVD green line adjoined with the stops line and adjoined with the market pulls VPI line easy scalp right there at a major liquidity zone and Then I got to write it down You know that the market moves in these extremes and sometimes all you need to do is get in with a quick little Knife and you can write it for mega points. So let's move on any questions right now Bruce. I know I've been talking for a little while Yeah, we're gonna go to walk off 30 Yeah, yeah sounds good. Let's see. We've got a few questions So Yeah, you're kind of answering it right now if you only use market pulse and you can see that James that he's using many things and then Does he care about the 4800? Santa rally bias on CNBC That's pretty pretty lofty move but anyway Listen, one of the reasons I trade futures Is because I don't hold overnight and I don't want to break make a prediction for a month out I can make enough money on a daily basis during our th Training futures that I don't need to worry about what it's going to be next month. Do I listen to it? Yes, do I listen to people that have macro view of economics and price range for stocks and futures? Yes, I do if you really want to listen to somebody I recommend you listen to a gentleman named Kenny Ocari He has a daily news brief He worked on Wall Street that news brief is out every single morning. It's for free in my opinion It's one of the best for free non-biased Pieces of information that you can get on where the market might be going So that's how I'll answer that question, but I like using book map and my Predefine 10 trade setups that I do every single day because they repeat over and over again and with book map liquidity And the market pulse tools Those are giving me enough money that I need to make on a daily basis. So I don't worry about yes I think we're gonna probably have a Christmas rally. Yeah, we'll probably sell off a little while Right before Christmas and then let them buy it back up But who knows they're always trying to through the retail trader, right? So I don't try to outsmart them I try to trade what I see and that's why I like having this radar I want to see what's going on right now how I can make money right now Now if you're an option player and you want to hold overnight then obviously that comes a little more into play But again, I'll do zero DTE type options On more of a two to three swing type day or interday from one high to the low Trying to employ that daily ATR from liquidity zone to liquidity zone off a book map So that's how I trade that Let me get into before we run out of too much time But I just want to go back to this. Okay. This is the zone. We had we had 175 and we had 200 here on book map The initial news reaction took us up to the 175. All right, you can see that right there We bounce back down. I just want to say look Something looked familiar to our pre-market homework. Where did the price go later on? After the market opened at 645 it went up to the 200 Liquidity zone that you see here that was identified pre-market in book map You don't get a better radar than this What other chart that you're going to look at whether your ninja trader Sierra chart is going to show you something like that where you have a high probability of hitting something and if you go up there, I mean you're at Market opens. I don't know 6 30 to see if we can see where it was open 6 30 price is somewhere here about a 6 1 1 6 1 5 0 right somewhere around here is the Market price open and it popped up 50 points to hit that second liquidity zone You can see that this 175 zone here when we hit it 5 30 in the morning It was a big thick liquidity zone, right? I took a short off of that and wrote it back down Now that starts to fade away. And this is the other thing about book map You get to see it real time. So as price after the market starts coming up now We're not hitting the middle of a liquidity zone. We're hitting the edge of a liquidity zone So to me that says hey, where is that bogey flying that bogey is probably gonna either bounce off this again Notice this is the third time Time 1 5 30 time to a little bit after 6 o'clock and now at market open It hits this 175 liquidity zone for the third time. So now my bias is third times a charm I'm hitting the edge of the liquidity zone. I'm probably gonna go test that next Level of liquidity zone above us. So that gives me an intra day bias on where I think the market's going from zone to zone Now I want to just cover a couple more things because I don't want to run out of time and get to some of the sweet stuff on market pulls VPI and Bruce I apologize if I talked too long and some of the other stuff But based off of questions and DMs I was getting I wanted to answer some of them So we can do another one of these to show more examples if we don't get enough of them today But again, I highly recommend you monitor the ES side-by-side with the NQ And I also highly recommend you get the DX feed Through book map and you monitor Microsoft and NQ particularly I mean Microsoft and Apple particularly if you're gonna be trading the NQ because The pictures that you will get will make you more money than the DX feed and the book map subscription Is costing you because of the vision that you get on that trading radar now if you look here at the left what you see a zone here at 9 o'clock on ES the left screen left picture on the right you see NQ you don't have quite the same picture So having them side-by-side where you can monitor them will help you see what's going on Same thing here. I don't know if you guys know this, but there's a button here This is the Microsoft book map on the left. This is Apple on the right There is a sync button. So these two paper clips, whatever you want to call these Chain link here syncs both charts to the same Scale and time frame. So you can see what Microsoft is painting for you versus what Apple is painting from you in my opinion You know, you can just see the treasure map So that you're able to follow the yellow big road from rotation to rotation when you have all four of these up Microsoft Apple NQ and ES Now here's Apple on the left. Here's NQ on the right You can just see both of them are synced up again and You can see what the you can see the treasure map Yellow brick road that Apple gives you versus what you see on NQ So Apple and Microsoft will help you with your order flow analysis on the NQ all right, I want to go into my My trade setup parameters with market pulse VPI If I had everything I wanted in a trade setup, maybe I make a checklist out of this I want to have a market pulse of VPI spike. I would like to see the CVD line adjoined peak-to-peak with at least close the VPI spike whether that's up top or down bottom at the extremes I would like to see Sweeps so in this example, I want to see cell sweeps to go into a long I want to see cell sweeps that go into cell stops I want to have large cell volume on that last move into that liquidity zone I want that liquidity zone to be a big band that I'm going into the middle of and I would like to have some absorption if I can get those Nice to have but not required and then I love it when I get points of Confluence whether it's a 50 or 61 point 8% Fibonacci retracement whether it's a 200 SMA that I like to use whether it's a S1 S2 On the chart that you know most standard softwares will calculate for you And then obviously once I get into the trade going long I'd like to see a large buy volume after the large sell volume with the volume outpacing the buying else outpacing the the selling Obviously if I'm trading short then it's just going to be opposite opposite of this Whatever my Exit targets with points of confluence. Well, like everybody else. I use V pock. I use V WAP. I use moving averages Fibbo zones liquidity zones paid for Numbers and then I do measured move projections All right, let's light the fires kick the tires. Let's go do one trade So on 6th December, this is yesterday. Here is a market long ID by market pulse via VPI Here's my long entry procedures. I want a VPI red spike. I want the CVD adjoin with the VPI So let's see if I have those two things So I see price coming down All right, I saw liquidity zone here around the 885 area and I saw one Starting develop as we got a little closer down here at the 870 level now that 870 level did not show up quite First right it shows up sometimes the liquidity zones come in a little bit after the fact after the move is starting to make But it's showing you the yellow brick road. So if I'm coming down here at a price of 890 And I see this liquidity zone, but I see this one developed below me Chances are I'm going to wait and I'm not going to do The VPI over here Now what I have though is I have a CVD adjoin Market pulse VPI right here. So the CVD is this green line in this case. It's coming down I see excuse me adjoin with the VPI red spike And I see it matched with the pink stops line all down in one place so maybe If I want to because sometimes the market springs away from me Maybe I take three if I was to enter a trade here three, which sometimes I do I'm not lying. I do I will put my stops Down here below because I want to get in in case it bounces against me But I'll put my stops below the second liquidity zone And if it bounces up I take the profit if it doesn't it keeps coming down I add on the next VPI spike Now in this particular case because I saw the VPI or the liquidity zone down here I waited and the other reason I happened to wait is because I had two points of confluence The pivot point on my chart was at one five eight seven four So that's right here My 50% FIBO was at one five eight eight zero Okay, so slightly right about this level. So I have two points of confluence I have a liquidity zone. I have my market pulse VPI spike. I have my CVD Uh already adjoined here in this area I have two major liquidity zones And what else do I see here? Well, I have absorption in the magenta circles Or I sorry, I have the sell sweeps in the magenta circles coming down into sell stops Which is the red 265 here and I see absorption right at the low price With the pink squares. So I pretty much got every one of my long Parameter entry points for my checklist that I wanted to have and I loaded up on this bad boy I will always take this trade liquidity zone market pulse vpi cvd adjoined sell sweeps into sell stops Volume followed by okay. So now you're sitting here You go I follow the checklist and I don't want to play what crash alton does Because I don't want to take a chance of getting in here low So I want to see a volume push spike up Retest a little pull back see another volume push and then get up Okay, so maybe according to that checklist that's in the book map That's going to put you in the trade over here somewhere around 890 Well, I got in at the trade at the 50 fibo on that market pulse spike So I got in 10 points early All right, so I already made my However much it was going to be 108 dollars by that point in time So again, this is the art of the braid What do you want to do? Do you want to wait for two separate volume pushes or a volume push with a Pull back and then another entry or do you want to start using some of the Market pulse tools that book nap is now providing for my type of trading the type of akim setup that I showed you I feel very comfortable and confident when I have my own checklist items Marked down right here with a point of confluence and abandoned liquidity I'm going to load up on that boy and I'm going to write it now We got I got in on this 50 percent retracement 880 and I wrote it up higher. I mean I wrote it Significantly up here. So you decide for yourself How you want to trade this let's say you got a first pullback roll Okay, so you didn't buy this you want to see it come back and make sure that you're going to have a higher low That's fine. You have a higher low pullback get into the trade somewhere in this area right here I'm going to wait for the second pullback. Okay, you need two higher lows power to you. You got the liquidity zone below you You don't have any spikes here. So I don't know you're just going to buy off the pullback That's up to you But that's my example of how I trade market pulls vpi Now I'm at 1231. I have a lot more slides, but I don't want to initially go into them and overextend the time frame But let's just take a quick look at my point of confluence Just for those who didn't believe it. Here's my Fibonacci that I calculated for the day interday, right? So this is from a couple days ago Down to this. So this was the high on the 29th down to the low on the fourth All right I had a target that it was it filled below now. I take this low here on the fourth I come up to the most recent high On the sixth of the day. I'm trading it pulled back to that 60 percent retracement or sorry that 50 percent retracement I was monitoring this on the way down I already had a bias from my interday swing levels and the liquidity zones that I saw That I wanted to start looking for a trade line I also have a bull bear line right here myself personally You have the pivot point right here. You have the 50 percent and if you go back to here I had the pivot point I had the 50 percent retracement I have liquidity zone and all my long entry procedures. So I'm taking that trade All right, this is it with it just a little bit expanded and then I will stop talking Guess what we bounce off. We continue to get volume all the way up We get an angle in the cvd line We get the stops coming up the liquidity zone stays there But I keep getting little pullbacks with increased volume and I'm looking for it to come up to my targets of my white line is the vwap line the pink line is the point of control And I personally use an 89 and a 200 moving average as targets So those are my four targets vwap poc 89 and 200. So I rode that bad boy from down here from 880 Whatever that is nine nine something now. I legged in so I legged out I legged out here Okay, I kept some I re-entered in here Rode this volume push up I legged in one more time and rode it up to vwap and v poc So that's how crash alton trades using book map and market polls tpi I'll leave it there Bruce since we're talking about crash, I mean You know, I I really like it. I mean you've got really You went into detail and expanded on on all fronts here. So you're prepared for this You know exactly what you're looking for in your checklist And you're waiting for it to unfold When it does you're aggressive you get in You scale in to reduce the risk And and you scale out as well and You know that with all of these different things that you're looking for here You have a high probability Set up and you look to take it again and again and again So It's really great. I mean you are catching a falling knife here But you have all of your you have a list there of what you're looking And it really is like the market is puking at that point and you're getting in right when it's puking so Really nice beautiful strategy Yeah, I mean, well, you got to I mean you got to be smart, right? So you're not going to catch a falling knife unless you have a reason to catch a falling knife So again, I like to test the waters, right? So you test the waters two or three micros Put your stop in below here. You add on on volume push-ups I mean, there's there's all kinds of ways to handle this trade, but see for me Yes, I don't want to catch a falling knife But I picked something the point of confluence with what I see in book map to make sure I mean the falling knife already started happening up here when we broke below Poc, right? So it's been falling for quite a while And you got to ask yourself how many points do you want to catch today? So you've got to figure out now. This is only one trade, right? I mean, I could go into more slides where I'm not catching a falling knife Right, I can I could show you this trade on nq or it's kind of just zigzagging down Starts consolidating in here. So you're not dropping quite as precipitously into a zone But what do I get here? I get the Cell sweeps right on a little bit of cell volume into a liquidity zone in the middle of liquidity zone And I get a market pulse VPI, right? You look at this one right here. This is another example Where this was the 65% Retracement so coming into here I just did this for a snipe Because I knew that my 65 was over here. Well, guess what I got into the 65% again on this market pulse VPI down here Conjoined with CVD and all the other things that are inside the circle that meet my checklist or you can come in Let me just show you one more example Let's look at one where you have a really thick liquidity zone. I mean if you see this right You see multiple liquidity zones, but you're catching the edge of two of them And then you got a big thick one where it comes into the middle I mean why not try to take that trade and catch points from over here at Whatever this is 920 or something all the way up to you know 80 points later. So There There's ways to catch a falling knife where you're not actually catching the falling knife And that's the beautiful thing about book map with maybe some points of confluence from some other Technical analysis that you do but even if you didn't have a Fibonacci or anything right here I didn't have a Fibonacci right here, but I had multiple liquidity zones Right on the way down I was hitting the edge on these and and that's something that I use in book map quite a bit If I'm coming down the side of an edge It's either going to come through and do a little peeky boo and bounce up Or it's going to continue to fall right in this case continues to fall in this case continues to fall But I already saw this big liquidity zone down here the fat one in the middle And once I come down here and I break through two or three of them I'm in an extreme now. So I'm going to take a chance On this middle zone being a floor of support Because I've met my criteria to get into the trade Um, and you can do this time and time again. Here's another example You're falling all the way down. You're coming down the edge. Don't trade. Don't trade And this is where I say no one did not get in on the vpi spikes, right? I'm not going to buy this I see this huge liquidity zone down here on the es. I am not buying this right here Now if you're a sniper and you want to snipe five points, maybe you do that It's definitely not a lot and it's not for a lot of points But for me, I don't have a cvd here, but I see two liquidity zones, right? So I'm going to be patient Let it come down hit the edge. Okay, it bounces up hits the Point of control. I'm expecting some kind of move bounce off of this down Now I'm coming into some massive set of liquidity zone that as time has gone on It's gotten thicker and thicker and darker So now I see that cvd the market pulls vpi spike On top of a liquidity zone. I'm taking that trade Yeah, no, it's great. It's great. I mean like uh, uh And this is like like you said earlier about the the science and the art. I mean you have you know Quite a lengthy checklist here You're waiting though and you're watching And uh, when it when it matches the criteria you were looking for take the risk That is correct Um, yeah, yeah, wonderful stuff. I mean, I don't know if anyone has any questions I've been answering some questions over in tube Uh, let's see. Uh, Louise just says great job. Uh, and I concur with that um Let's see, uh, I don't know how how many more you have if you want to go through a couple more Crash that that'd be fine. Uh, I know We've got some highlights of some ideas Uh, and then um, you know, we'll go for maybe five ten more minutes. Okay. Okay. And also, uh, yeah We have all in on here who runs the blue jacket competitions Uh, and since you're the winner and uh, you wanted to maybe he wanted to ask maybe a few questions about your experience with that And you get a chance Yeah, go ahead and let's do it now. Okay. Uh, Owen, I don't know if you are, uh, Yeah, you're in here. Um, if you want to Hi, um Yeah, so great stuff crash. Really interesting to see I love the the whole element of The pilot's checklist and trading it's something quite powerful. I think very nice to see And uh, congratulations for winning blue jacket November Your charts were great You used a lot of market force as we can see and that was a theme of blue jacket last month, so Yeah, congrats again. Um Just wondering like big picture any thoughts about your experience with blue jacket like You know sharing your your charts and talking to the other traders the Did it basically How how was it fine? Did you enjoy it and uh Maybe some recommendations for newer traders that want to start Sharing their charts how they can get started with that Yes, thank you. Uh, I loved it. So, um Several points here. I started a just a little over a year ago. I think with book map I'm constantly trying to learn Uh different things So my my list of things, you know videos to watch lessons to go over Is quite lengthy and I actually had you know after I started trading with book map After a month or two, you know, just totally doing it on my own just observing right just watched it while I was doing my normal trading I started to pick up stuff on my own That was really valuable just from just from watching book map itself But I created a list of things that I wanted to study education wise that was specifically associated with uh book map And so two months ago in october I had checked off some other things that I wanted to learn and it was time to come back To get into the finer detail of some stuff on book map And so just at that time when I started watching some videos Uh, I I didn't even know to be honest with you. I didn't even know that there was a blue jacket Uh competition, uh, and I did not know about the You know my bad, but I didn't know about the the Book map academy either had I known this I would have done this six months ago But fortunately, uh on my quest to learn some additional stuff two months ago in october I was coming into your discord channel And saw the blue jacket thing and I just happened to look at it and I saw the competition And I was right towards the end of october when I really started coming in I saw some of what people were doing. I just gave a couple slides Um, and then you made the announcement that the november competition was going to kick off So me in my desire to become quote-unquote right a professional expert at something I decided I was going to take on the task of trying to become The fastest person in the room to become an expert on market pulse So I I can't remember exactly when your your beta testing started for market pulse But from listening to bruce In his webinars, uh, I could tell that there was some new stuff at least being added That needed to be tested out. So I decided to go all out and I literally probably studied um I'm gonna say four hours a day on top of my trading just doing book map market pulse stuff And if you look at the volume of slides, uh that I did right for the blue jacket Award you have to post your your material in the blue jacket channel And um quickly after that I I signed up for the blue for the book map academy And I realized that with the book map academy that I could get feedback That could help me with blue jacket award. So I started both And uh your team obviously has been a pleasure to work with I'm not saying it just because I'm on the webinar But like like I don't know how many people have been in a lot of different rooms But there's not a lot of rooms like this where you get such a variety Of speakers you get bruce Presenting every single week training you teaching you and then if you get into the book map academy You know even for somebody like me, I might have really you know five to Eight really good trades that I do every day, but I got a lot to learn on book map So I presented my slides and you guys had your team, you know uh Jack and um HG trader And um slow down Guys giving me feedback on what I was doing that helped me to learn even faster Than just doing it on my own so my recommendation in summary is join the competition For the blue jacket it forces you To put material out there That's better than the next person so that you can try to win that's going to right That's iron sharpening iron that's going to make you do something That's going to help you develop your honorary phd and book map and trading And then apply for the book map academy So that you go into that job Into that room with people who are more experienced than you You know they got more stripes on their sleeve and you ask them to teach you everything they know About book map and you'll get the feedback like this that will make you a better trader If you can't see my presentation today And feel like this will make you a better trader then that's definitely not for you You know and it's just you're too good for it or or it's just not your Your bag it's not something that will work for you But in my opinion the stuff that I showed you today Stuff that I learned from going through the blue jacket And the book map academy And now it's put me in a position Where I am getting into trades literally You know maybe 10 to 20 points before I might otherwise have gotten into trades Yeah, I'll trade a Fibonacci here and there and get it in but man the level of precision That market pulse Gives you to enter a trade if you're looking at all those Checkboxes that I have right All those things it gives you an edge one trade You can make your 500 bucks a day Right so the the training and uh the process of the blue jacket academy and book map In my opinion is well worth the time In any money you spend You know, I don't work for book map. They're not paying me to say this Uh, I I've only been doing the room, you know the discord channel for two months in here Uh, but I used it for a year before doing this and in the last two months It's you know, it's transformed what I'm doing Uh, and like I told you I applied it to some prop accounts just to see how it was going to work Uh, and I took, you know, this is my example. I took I went for the 150k accounts Uh, and I met my goal in five days Uh on the 5k account. So for those that, you know, at most of them are like a 9k uh Target that you have to hit to take a account from an evaluation to uh, You know a PA funded account. So uh in five days, I did that using market pulse So, uh, I'll let the you know the results speak for themselves You thank you crash. That's uh, really fantastic to hear Really, really good stuff. Uh, yeah, just uh to remind you all, uh, breeze can talk to this more but Uh, you can also do both. Uh, you can try to join the book map academy and the blue jacket too So all junior applicants all your content in blue jacket will go towards your application for the junior academy So you can kill two birds with one stone with that And uh this december we're still focusing on market pulse again So the competition the blue jacket competition has already started. It ends on december 22 So if you're like crash and you're diving into market pulse Show us what you've got. You know, you don't have to be the best trader in the world You just you just have to be serious and I'm willing to learn And uh, share it with the community. It makes us all better traders And uh, yeah, you may win three months of global plus with data. So Yeah, sign up blue jacket It would be great book map dot com for this blue jacket. Thank you. I'll stop talking now Excellent. Thanks, Owen. Um, yeah, yeah, I I totally agree with what both you guys are saying I mean like why why not like sign up for both? I mean you might win And the work that you do will apply to the book map academy anyway, uh, and you can earn You know get book map for free through that that program Build it build it up while you're also To win Yeah, I think it's a good idea to do Um, yeah crash, let's go through like just uh, uh one or two more and uh, and let's let's uh call it a call it a day Okay, sounds good I'll try to be quick. Just uh, just give you a couple more examples. So let's say you don't want to catch a falling knife All right in this example. I'm going along again against the liquidity zone, but this time Right, you let it consolidate a little bit Above the liquidity zone and remember you're in the middle of the liquidity zone You're not on an edge of a liquidity zone. All right, so you've got a consolidation here a lot of guys in the room Uh Slow down h e trader rob You know, those guys like to show the wycoff bring actions So here's an example kind of a of a wycoff spring action a little peeky boo below Into a breakout from above Some people will call it a w formation Others will just call it a peeky boo below the consolidation Some people just call it the wycoff spring But you got all of those in this consolidation right here on top of a liquidity zone So if you don't want to take and catch that falling knife On the first touch of the liquidity zone down here. Well, guess what I got a uh for me You don't know that it's necessarily going to consolidate here, right when the price first comes down Maybe I entered in with three to six micros right here at a couple minutes past seven my time pacific Right above the liquidity zone because I saw that so I entered three and now I got to manage the trade, right? So where did I tell you my stops go when I see this my stops go below the liquidity zone So I'm good playing it safe I might leg in leg out now I'm a true sniper So I will always leave if I get in I will always leave some in case the market goes against me, but I also Have an idea of my intraday time frames and so from my Proprietary intraday swing time frames I do have stuff that curtailed the specific time within certain windows of an hour That might tell me when I'm going to expect a bigger move and so I will use that to my advantage also to leg into trades But even if you don't have this you can wait on the first vpi spike or maybe take three micros here Let it play out. It never came below your stop never lost 180 dollars It did a peekaboo right on top of the liquidity zone and it ended up giving you a breakout trade So you can either choose to do the vpi spikes in here On top of the liquidity zones And you have all the other stuff that you're wanting stops sweeps, right volume Buy volume, but let's say you want to wait for the peekaboo breakout Okay, so now you get the breakout Do you want to buy the breakout right here on this volume push or do you want to wait till it makes its first strong move up? Comes back and does a little consolidated pull back move and then continues and moves up The only problem I see with that is Let's just say you did take the trade and you waited to this breakout right here All right. I get in down here. You get in up here. I get in around 9 20 You're getting up here somewhere around 9 35 10 to 15 points after me Let's say you got in Here at the 9 35 area someone who were here after the breakout or the pullback But then it does this consolidation sideways. Where's your stop? Well, I'm just gonna question the answer for yourself, right? Where's your stop? Are you going to get yourself? Stopped out of this because it's consolidating down Maybe you look for a five minute pullback or a 15 minute pullback So I told you I trade 15 five and three minute and one minute Windows of opportunity was from some setups So maybe this ends up meeting a five minute pullback and I actually have an example of that here I'll go over in a second But you have to ask yourself a question if you bought the breakout right here And now you're playing chop zone. Oh man. It's coming against me. It's coming against me. What do I do? What do I do? Well, you answer that question yourself for me I got in down here on the market polls vpi spike at the liquidity zone and at least added probably on volume So now my you know my my cost basis is down here. I stop is down here I'm going to feel feel very comfortable as this is doing its You know consolidated pullback And then you know if you went according to the checklist, you know, you'd probably buy again somewhere in here um, so now you're at a 945 so now I've got, you know, almost 45 points on you 40 points on you if you're waiting to buy legs up. I start to see a pullback. I take some off I move my stop up to the right below this breakout point So now I would have taken my stop from down here at the 915 area And I would have moved it to the breakout spot around the 930 ish area Even if it did take me out here. I can come back in on volume and catch some more of the right up here So that's just one more example um, here's an example. I think it's pretty good of watching the es and the nq together so Same time frames. All right 705 here on the nq And what you see here if you guys have watched my post I do a lot of posts um After I saw I've done a lot of posts where I talk about iceberg surfers And to me, this is one of the most important things to start paying attention to in book map It's a tale of a thousand tales, right? So iceberg surfers Are great places to enter into trades or get out of trades. Okay. It's like a liquidity zone to me And in this case we saw the es come down all right Looking to come down and I'm looking for a long entry, right? I saw this big huge liquidity zone on es But guess what on the nq the liquidity zones much higher So in this example, you can see where the es bounces at 45 55 One of the things I always say in all my posts is icebergs iceberg surfers will be tested They'll either bounce It's like a liquidity zone right up, you know, right prior to them Right on top of them or sometimes it hits it and continues to move down But you're going to get a market reaction around an iceberg But in my opinion in this case, I saw this iceberg developing all the way across from the top The left hand side over here on the es I saw price coming down here And I see that I'm coming down into this massive liquidity zone So when I see it's bouncing away from this iceberg surfer here Which is right at the point where this massive Aquidity zone on the es got really thick all of a sudden this developed in real time. So we saw this zone That's the other thing about book map, right? It's real-time radar action You get to see things as it's happening follow the money Follow the institutional traders You can see that all of a sudden this big huge massive man. This is like a floor This is the you know, this is a support level right here. I got a support level from the es I got an iceberg given me support for it probably to bounce off I see this move and at the same time I see this bouncing on the es. This is what we see on the nq So for me I am going to leg into this trade when it I will probably do one or two micros for sure when it hits this I see this big volume right here. I'm going to add to it now. Look at it You make this v pattern on the nq Where you got a v bottom just like a v shape Recovery right when you see the price action sometimes I love v price action in the in the nq in this case. I make a new low And I have a divergence Right. I have the market pulse bottoms down here in this area right above the liquidity zone So you can see that this iceberg surfer happen when this iceberg surfer happens watch to see what happens with it If it comes up here, it comes down and it gets tagged And you bounced off this liquidity zone and you've got this divergence right here with a higher low Off of market pulse vpi Man, this is a money trade by that volume push right there Great example of hitting now. One of the other things I like to point out is the liquidity zones Some liquidity zones right are kind of jagged, right? You don't see them quite so thick right, so Sorry about that. That's my uh alarm going off If um, you see the liquidity zone Being kind of see through it's not a solid but now all of a sudden right after seeing this live in real time The liquidity zone and the es went from thinner to dark dark thick support that means support to me And I already saw the thick support with the nq right here So this support now is Is uh in conjunction with the support on the nq. You got a bounce. You got a massive push in spiking volume and you have a Um upward channel movement from below to high right a higher A higher low so to speak right on this right hand side So you're making a new low on price into a liquidity zone. These are my favorite trades I make a new low Into a massive thick liquidity zone. It's not see through it's dark. It's there. It's a floor. It's support I get a massive push with volume right after this and I have a higher low Right right sided pivot roll right w formation with the right sided w being higher than the center So you have all kinds of indication that this thing is going to go pop up So does everybody see that you got a double w bottom here This liquidity zone it's bounced right off of with volume with the um Spike being higher on the right hand side. This is money Money in the bank. I have a surfer. I have the es bouncing above a massive new liquidity zone that came in like a brick wall And I already have a brick wall here Uh hitting in the middle of the brick wall. I'm not hitting the edge of this liquidity zone I'm in the middle of this this is gonna be support And how you know it support because look at this volume that came in Look at the shape of this Vpi spike here with a lower a higher low on the right hand side This is a money in the bank trade having this surfer active support having this liquidity zone come here Making a v-shaped recovery right here push on volume This this is a money trade doesn't get any better than this Let's see if I can find one more that's really good to show you guys Um, okay, here's another example Okay, here's a surfer You have stair stepping of liquidity Okay on the es If you're stair stepping on the side of liquidity, don't buy it. Let it prove what it wants to show you After a stair step to start breaking down from this liquidity You can see that this big huge thick zone of liquidity came into so you're reading the tape You're reading book map, right? You're reading order flow You come and see this big huge double bottom a spike in but look at the divergence here Maybe you leg in do you want to take one little? Night here one or two microbes to see what's going to happen. Do you want to wait till it comes in his liquidity? No matter what if I see a spike down into a massive zone of liquidity And I have an iceberg surfer develop I am taking that trade 100 of the time 100 you will get a reaction off an iceberg surfer in a massive Block of uh liquidity here that's acting as support look how dark red it is right Volume pushed down in into support on the book All right. I've got a higher Low with my vpi. So I'm making a new low in price but I'm having a Higher low in my vpi spike Now this does not always occur with vpi But this occurs a massive amount of time where you get the initial low in the vpi slightly early So look for the w formation with the right side of the w Or the double bottom with the right side being higher than the left. You have a liquidity zone like this You have a double bottom vpi spike with the right side being higher than the left side But I still have gvd line Cojoined with the Uh price action here into a thick liquidity zone with an iceberg surfer That is money in the bank on that trade Money in the bank. I don't know how many people trade the es versus the nq. I personally trade the nq, you know four to one Over the es because you get bigger farther faster bounces so I can catch more Because I'm pretty accurate with my trades particularly using the market pulse now um, and if I see this right here I'm buying no matter what I get that iceberg that develops on a big spike down into a massive liquidity zone And I'm seeing a divergence in the vpi Spikes here like this a lower high. I'm buying that 100 every single time And then I will keep raising my stops because sometimes eventually when you see the iceberg surfers They will get retested They may get retested an hour later. They may get tested a minute later But this is a money in the bank trade. You want a trade setup? You come down you get a volume push into a thick liquidity zone on the es or the nq You see an iceberg Surfer what I call them develop with a divergence here on the vpi With the right side of being higher than the left. This is a money in the bank trade 100 of the time And then just keep raising your stops if you're not comfortable with it. Uh, let's see if I can find one more good example Okay, let's say you want to snipe some people like to snipe because they just want to be in market action so Obviously, this is not for everybody I like doing this one and just point around in the markets going sideways, but I want to make money But in this example on the nq Right, I got choppy two-way trading But that choppy two-way trading is is massive from the low peaks to the valleys to up here, right? I'm at 988 over here on the very far left hand side I see myself coming up into a liquidity zone with stops and icebergs up here. I have the green bubbles for volume, but I also have the green uh sweeps And stops coming up into this point and I'm right above the vpoc and the vwap So when you are right along, um vwap And vpok right next to each other as this pink and white line shows You're in sideways choppy action so I would never trade huge amount of Lots when you're doing this But I will snipe back and forth back and forth back and forth and on days like this Where you're getting a low here at 960 and you're up here at 985 I mean you're talking 25 to 30 point swings from top to bottom Man, all I need to do is catch five points on two of those and I've made my money for the day but market pulse dpi particularly Helps me to snipe and I love sniping. I will snipe with just a couple of micros and write it and see what will happen So it's a snikers dream, right? We're in consolidated range trading around dwap the white line And poc the pink line trade small get in get out use your six micros setup that I showed you Would target the five ten and twelve points You can snipe and take money to the bank at all the extremes highs and the lows of Sideways two-way action that goes above and below a co-joined dwap the poc Area now sometimes it's only two or three points, right depending on whether the s or the nq. Maybe it's only five points But if you're seeing 25 point swings above and below in a consolidated period of time Uh on particularly maybe after we've had a massive move up or a massive move down in your consolidation And you still want to make a couple points here and there market pulse dpi Is a fantastic way to snipe when you're getting 20 to 30 point swings in the nq That's going to equate to you know, five 10 point swings in the es Money in the bank. I have a liquidity zone up here, right? It's an extreme I have stops with icebergs up here. I have sweeps up into the liquidity zone I've peaked above the v poc vwap I look for it breaks down. I take a couple points coming down here. I'm waiting and waiting waiting I'm looking at the liquidity zone coming down I see liquidity continuing to drop down I'm watching my cvd line as the line's coming down my cvd line is coming down I look at it to cross below center line The cvd line comes down Crosses the zero line on negative volume right cell volume Down I get a vpi spike Cell sweeps into cell stops on a vpi spike with a co-joining cvd line I will exit and reverse my trade Maybe this is my point of consolidation. You want to be a little more conservative? Okay, fine This area right here is your consolidation spot once it breaks above this area right here Get into the trade So if you don't want to get here and buy this at 960 you get in here and you buy it at 967 on this breakout You get the little spike down stops with a move up on volume boom right it Okay, I'm going to come all the way up here now. I see sweeps up in liquidity zone up here cell stops right another vpi spike I am I am going to trade this particularly if you've already been monitoring it And you see to the left of the of your current time frame that it's trading in a consolidated pattern I'll take two or three of these attempts just to make some points here And if I'm in a consolidation period, we're on the nq. It's making 20 to 40 point Consolidated swings from peaks to valleys sideways action Yes, I'm going to take some time to make a couple points off of each of these sideways Bounces from top peak to peak Valley to peak So I hope that makes sense, but you can just see how market pulse vpi the cvd here sweeps Down into a liquidity zone market pulse vpi with cvd ride it up till you get the next cvd high Cojoin with market pulse vpi at the top into a liquidity zone with stops write it back down Vpi spike Cojoin cvd Sell sweeps into sell stop into liquidity zone I don't know how to paint a better picture for you guys to snipe So we've been going for a long time. I think that's going to be the last example I show for today bruce I don't want to kill everybody We can do more of this in the future I have plenty more examples and if we ever want to do it again I'll probably have more examples that I haven't given already because I'm Continuing student in the book map academy. So I'll leave it to you now. Okay. Thank you. Thank you so much crash I mean that that's you you've got a lot of a lot of energy And that was a lot of good stuff In fact people in over in youtube are requesting that you do more so Yeah, it would be it would be great to do more things with you in the future And yeah, I I think We can we can hold a lot of that stuff in the academy as well One one note Just hear about like you're you're sniping. I mean this this is really pretty stuff You know, it's like edge to edge And and like you said like you have your reasons for catching this falling knife at those edges Uh, and you're looking for something very specific and When you when you catch it like this, I mean look at look at these entries and exits. I mean and revert and you're reversing too So you're getting out and then taking the opposite opposite trade As well. So I mean it doesn't get Much much better than than that. Uh, so really really nice precise stuff there Yeah, no, listen if you want to make money, right if you're serious about this I mean number one if you're not serious about it, don't trade Don't waste your money. Don't waste your time But most of the people here want to make money And they want to be serious. So if you want to make money, but you're not serious then get serious Um, if you're already a good trader learn something new Always add, you know a new arrow to your quiver. There's always more Uh tricks to the trade you can learn from a fool. I will not to be a fool, right? There's something to learn from everybody And so pick some people to get mentored by Even me You know, I think I'm a pretty good trader. I'm not the best, but I think I'm decent but The thing that makes me I think Perform well as I'm always willing to learn I'm always applying myself to study Uh, and you know in the last two months, this has been massive for me. I mean, this has been massive Let's assume you did it. You want to do proper counts because you want to risk your own money Let's say you don't have three accounts. Let's say you do something with apex that lets you do up to 20 I think it is and you got 10 accounts And you make a hundred dollars a so you took that $10,000 Uh account of yours, right? But I mean realistically if you're doing a You know, if you're doing a 150k account prop account You really only have $5,000 to play with right because they you can't lose more than $5,000 You bust the account so it says it's a 150k account, but it's really not it's a $5,000 account And I had to learn this the hard way when I first started off Uh, you know trying to trade some prop accounts. I had to figure out Number one if you're going to do this in apply book map to trading prop accounts You got to know whether you have an end of day or an intra day watermark Is that trailing stop Moving up with you during the day or is it at the end of the day and different prop firms handle that differently? So that's number one. You need to know but Aside from that if you use market pulse in vpi Play the extremes either in sideways action or at points of confluence if you just keep it If you use market pulse and I know there's a lot of market pulse tools But the one I've been focusing on is specializing on is the is the vpi spiked because it works perfectly for my trading extremes And it happens on the nq all day long You get three to five rotations in the nq every single day Let's you just have a straight up or straight down day But how often do you just have a straight up or straight down day? And even if it is a straight up or straight down day, you're going to get one or two pullbacks You give you a chance to get in the trade in the direction that the market is moving But if you use the vpi market pulse spikes At extremes with some other levels of confluence or just sideways chop action where you can see Highs in the lows during that consolidation phase This is money in the bank for you. You will pass prop account If you just if you do what I just showed you six micros There's somebody in here listening. We had a small slight conversation before about how many, you know, micros or minis to use Um, trust me. You just do something small with how many how wrong can you go with six micros? You do a 15 point sock six micros. The most you're risking is $180 You do that in a prop account a $5,000 prop account. That's you know, actually the only money 150k you can only it's only like having $5,000 because of the trailing stop loss that they keep Raising on you But if you do this kind of trading using market pulse on book map You will pass prop trading accounts if you don't have the money to trade your own But become a professional and apply yourself to learning get into the blue jacket Uh competition that will force your hand Into producing content, right? Everybody says and all walks of life if you want to Be an expert at something you've got to be able to teach it When you can teach it That's when you know you're starting to get to the point where you might be good at something So enter into the blue jacket competition Try your hand at winning. I mean look, who doesn't want three months free? a book map I mean, that's a great deal. Look how much money you spend on this stuff three months is great And and then you get to test the beta stuff on top of that That not everybody else has It's phenomenal tools that you get to use And then you'll get feedback from people that can mentor you To become an even better trader and if your goal If to do this More than part-time or full-time Then you've got to apply yourself to this kind of stuff and book map Again, I'm not getting paid to say this I'm doing I'm saying this because it's helped me and it's helped me specifically in the last two months To do these kind of trades that i'm showing you right now I'm getting in earlier On my trade setups and making 10 to 20 points more Then I did before I started doing this because I can see what's going on I see that treasure map And it's laying out for you the yellow brick road to follow So all right, I'm gonna stop there Excellent excellent. Thank thank you so much crash. Uh really really great stuff We'll host another book map academy meeting here soon and You know go over some more things and you can You know Talk about the some some of your your trades That are a bit more topical at that time as well. So You know that like you said that environment we're offering it Get that feedback you can get that coaching and mentoring And help each other Really really nice environment and then look what you've done with it, you know Like you said two months And and this is where you've taken it that's that's impressive Yeah, it's great stuff. I highly recommend everybody who's listening if you're not doing it You don't have a subscription get a subscription if you haven't joined book map academy join it Yeah, great. All right. Well, uh, yeah, thank you so much and uh, uh, give you a last word and uh, and we'll uh cut out from here Yeah, no, thank you again. Uh, I certainly have appreciated the opportunity I appreciate the software And the team is fantastic to work with very good communicators Very willing to teach And help out and that's the kind of room you want to be in right? You want to be in where you can get better for those around you actually want you to get better Obviously book map wants to sell their software Uh, you know, they're not doing it for free But they do offer some stuff for free if you're willing to come in and and test and and learn and teach So you kind of got both worlds there. So take advantage of it Okay, thanks everybody All right. Have a great day everybody talk to you later Thanks crush
