 Hi, this is Tom B. from Bookmap's Discord TradersLib live narration channel. This brief replay is regarding integrating Bookmap order flow tools inside a higher time frame. Now this is for educational purposes only and past performance is not indicative of future results. 2175. Notice the alignment. So I'm looking at this and I'm going okay in an intermediate time frame this is the high volume node. This acts like a V-Pock so it's drawn. There's alignment with the midpoint. Are you guys tracking with me? Can you kind of see this? What I want to show you is you know I get a lot of questions from you guys who think you know you're day trading your you're spinning around and doing all this stuff and that's really active. I understand because it's the same process it's a remember this is all fractal. However I'm using the same tools but I can also use them in alignment to trade an intermediate time frame. So I know if there's you know there's a potential since I have alignment with two things that traders reference midpoint and my high volume node based on profile this is the most traded price and accepted price last time we were up here. You guys tracking? See how we're integrating multiple time frames here? Just want to make sure that we're all in alignment anybody? Okay thank you. So if you want to trade the intermediate time frame and this is not a recommendation or anything this is how you might integrate. If you want to get the bigger swings and past performance is not indicative of future results you'd be waiting for this and then using the more micro time frame to participate in it. So let's see if we can isolate this a little bit. So what do we got here? Now it's show this is showing all this volume on the screen. What I do is when we get to a location I'm starting to look over here because this is showing me the volume in this area and I'm looking for something to show me that in a micro consolidation that that volume if we break below the volume or I see exhaustion which looks something like this you know in other words there's just one buyer up here. Now I see liquidity under here so it's not quite ripe. It could be if they pull you know they open the door. So I'm watching so here's let's just see what it looks like. Now we're in the micro time frame right? Okay where's my level? Here here you know this I have to think about yesterday's low there might be so I'm watching it's an area. So let's watch let's see what it does. Okay I'm just kind of zooming in 88 stops. Thank you now we're in our zone in our area. Remember I know I don't know so I've got to wait to see something and I'm sitting there with my trigger finger. I'm on the mouse and I'm like you know you know I'm stalking this is I'm behind the tree in the jungle and here is potentially my opportunity. Here here okay let me just pull this down a little bit so we can see the rest of it because this was really interesting and I missed it because I was getting ready for our webinar but this is a trade for me. So so here's what we see let's kind of look at some pieces. I'm seeing the buyers kind of you know get weaker I see the liquidity pulling so let's watch now we're putting the this is where book map is coming in the rest of this is higher time frame stuff right and for me I have something called setups which means I have to wait for locations to participate so that's what I do because you know what do I know you know better opportunities you know I want the bigger swing if it shows up if it doesn't I can operate in the lower time frames it doesn't matter to me so here's what's happening they're pulling that's good for the short let's watch what happens to the book here so now we're using book map to read the order flow what's the potential you know the intent I'm seeing that there's not much going on over here with the buyers see this is this this is louis with the one lot oh six okay louis so louis with six so now we want to see what is going to happen up in here now I'm only thinking a short remember doesn't matter to me because this is my plan trend is down I'm not a buyer I'm going to be a seller past performance not indicative of future results now I'm watching this right here because this is showing me where the volume is happening in this little structure this is 10 18 10 this is 40 seconds okay so we're now in the scout scalpeteria with the scalp bell what do I see I see I see buyers buyers I got the book press no buyers they're not lifting I'm seeing more sellers buyer no buyers so this and we're under here right so this is becomes for me an area that's potentially an over under in other words my over under if we come back above this volume because this is my protection now this is like a parchment paper you know it's not strong but I'm now operating in the micro time frame for potential triggering and yes I you know like everybody else I could take a stop and you know but I have this I have this I have this and I have retail trader behavior that is the sell to mid in this context that's okay for me so let's see what it does so this is my short by the way here okay you guys with me so now what's my my target this is the VWOP now I'm going to target the VWOP for my first scale now that's just part of my plan and it's because other retail traders are going to target the VWOP so I want to get out ahead of the VWOP okay and so it's a 1675 you know I'm looking maybe for 17 quarter which means I don't get filled isn't that interesting but that's the way it works and and I have to say well this is the structure I'm leaning on trailing stops now let's remember retail trader behavior now we want to shift our brain a little bit where the stops going to be here here here right everybody followed the thinking think like a retail trader don't act like one when you think when you feel now it's emotional because you're wired to be risk adverse and you don't want to lose your quote profit your tendency and most retail traders tendency is this and they might be right but let's see what happens now remember the trade fails up above here we don't know right okay they're gone okay watch the behavior now we're still looking for this thing and now when I see this I go well we got them and I think that's pretty reasonable to anticipate right stop pick retail trader behavior they're gone now watch what now let's just spread this out a little bit watch the behavior I'm over here that's you know I'm looking for that's my first target see I got it now this is what in my opinion I strongly recommend as soon as your mind thinks risk aversion and I'm just saying you have a plan this is not a a trade plan and it's not a recommendation how you design or develop your process but this to me is a is like giving it away because that's what retail traders do so for me unless it's broke I leave it and I'm just telling you remember this is how I do it and you could do it any way you want so that's what's important and past performance not indicative of future results right this is for educational purposes only but when you see these so what you do is you look to the left this is the swing high and you know there's going to be stops above that so we don't want to forget that we have the pop the break now here's how about you if you wanted to enter here let me give you a little hint now this is again getting into more micro day trading it's kind of what some traders do let's look in this structure we took the stops if there's no buying above here like you know then it was just a stop pick if you don't know what that is write it on your paper if you know you're taking notes stop pick is basically the momentum so what happens is the market goes down if it doesn't take this swing out and you see the exhaustion down here then all the guys who are you know micromanaging and i'm not saying you shouldn't if that's your trade plan that momentum is going to take them up to where the fuel is which is right above this right so you guys track it just say yes or no if this doesn't make sense ask a question by the way it does okay because if it doesn't this is when you ask the question before i move on so i just want to make sure this is all logical and you can see potentially the benefit of not uh acting like a retail trader but definitely thinking and anticipating their behavior yes good morning and good morning everyone and thank you for being here too all right so what's the target here and what's the next target vpok okay so and of course you know how i play it i don't want to be the last guy out i always leave some for the sweeper so it's you know about three ticks usually so i'd be flat so this trade not getting taken out on the stop pick was from roughly 21 call it you know 21 to 15 call it with a scale here so um 21 to 18 call it to here done you guys tracking with me in the reason why midpoint alignment with an intermediate time frame exhaustion we saw louis with the sixth lot the book flipped over can you see what happened with the book this is important too these guys you know okay and i'm going i don't know i stay in the i know i don't know until i think i know and even then i don't know here you see this bing bing bing bang i this is indication this is pressure these guys may have no intention of trading they never did trade but when they came in you see the reaction are you guys tracking with me this is how book map can give you tremendous insight because it's the confluence you know i don't this to me i mean i can trade this in i could i'm just saying as i have the let's just say the capacity to operate you know in between in microstructure but i think for most of us who want to learn we need to think a little higher time frame and it's really it and that higher time frame can be intermediate where you're waiting for this and then you're just putting this thing on and you know you're trading to the other side you can you know that's the potential and for this trade depending on well for me the the higher probability and you guys need to vet your own ideas was back the check balance it's like this is a price check in the intermediate time frame the return to vpok is a price check in the developing daily time frame this is an example of the narration that takes place in our discord traders lab using book map and fractal multiple time frame integration it i invite all of you to visit us at the book map discord traders lab for tom b and uh take a listen to our live real-time narration thanks for visiting hope to see you there soon
