 All right, good morning traders. Welcome to the book map pro trader webinar series. This is Bruce at book map Today we have Scott Pulsini and good morning everybody. Good morning, Jerry. Good morning, Stefano Today we have Scott Pulsini. We had him back also in September but Have him back again. He did a fantastic webinar For us and really happy to have him back here He's got just a tremendous amount of trading experience and order flow Experience I used to use heavily the dome back in the day. So, you know over 20 years of experience here You know and then really really rich in interesting history as well During the years from 2002 to 2005, Scott was responsible for trading about 10% of the S&P e-mini futures volume Okay, we're talking about a tremendous amount of volume here That just it's still just my is mind-boggling for me just to imagine like one tick is probably worth about seven to ten thousand dollars One tick of movement Anyway Now Scott focuses on both trading equities and futures. Like I said expert scalper with an innate ability to very quickly read the order flow and and volume and within the price patterns and And and execute. Okay, very very capable You have our book map contact information here risk disclaimer trading futures equities and digital currencies Involve substantial risk of loss and it's not suitable for all investors past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results and Let's go through this here. I hear if you're interested in reaching out to Scott. I've put this into the chat for you Yep Whoops, I'm sorry Hello Okay. All right. Yeah, I got you now Okay. Yeah, sorry about that. I lost literally every one of my screenshots right as we were going on So I had to go back and do it over again. So a little rattled, but No, no worries at all. So we hear you we see your screen that we see your daughters there And Yeah, I think we're good to go If you want to put up you can put up I'll tell you I'll go over a little bit about myself quickly You want to put that screen back up with my info in there? Or do I have to do that? Oh Yeah, you would have to give me I'll have to take back the presentation if Okay, not a big deal. I'll just I'll just go over quickly So my name is Scott Pulsini. I've done a couple webinars with book maps so far and My back story is I you know, I used to be a very large scalper in the E-mini S&P As far as when I say scalper, I literally mean, you know second by second. I was a You know major market maker where I was on basically every tick all day long every day so You know, I got my start around 2001 right before 9-11 and I Started working for I worked at the Port of Trade for about four years as an ARB clerk so I kind of learned the ins and outs of Trading especially the stressful side of things because that's the most stress you can ever deal with Working for brokers where if you make a mistake, you know, you can cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars in a second So kind of got my feet wet there and then went over to a firm that my friend got me into called King Street Trading and Back then they just threw you in front of the trading screen and You know, hope you can figure it out. There was no education whatsoever as far as electronic trading because I was brand new back then so I Was thrown in front of the screen thrown in front of the E-mini S&P market in the Nasdaq market and you know told it figured out and I Literally tried to figure it out the very first day. I lost $2,500 trading one lots Scalping one lots which anybody that trades knows that is very very difficult to do on the bad side of things so Needless to say I was on the brink of getting fired and on 11 happened and I started to you know I wanted to practice they closed the US markets for a week So I wanted to get some practice and figure out what the hell I was doing So I went over to the German Dax overnight and started trading that just again just to you know get some experience and I started seeing some tendencies, you know in that market, which was pretty crazy back then Yeah, I guess I can compare it now to let maybe like the NASDAQ as far as how it moved or the E-mini Russell but so I learned some tips and tricks there and then when the E-mini or the stocks Opened back up for trading after 9-11. I started to trade the E-mini S&P again and And the light just went on as far as what I was seeing with the order flow coming in the book and I was so confident what I was doing, you know, I was literally within days of getting fired I went up to the the boss or the owner of the firm and told him that I was so confident You know, and I was only making at that point I know I don't mean to say only because it's still a lot of money if I was making 500,000 a day Which wasn't a lot because a lot of traders there were making millions So I was so confident I figured out I went and made the owner of the firm up a wager that I would be the number one trader in the following year I think the trader back then made that in 2001, he had made like 2.8 million bucks or something like that and or 2.5 million. So anyway, I made him the bet and I was that sure that I had figured it out by reading order flow that the following year I actually did it and won the bet I made 2.8 million my first year And then in 2003, I made 10 million and in 2004, I made 1.8 million So you're talking about $15 million and this is after commission, mind you This isn't pre-commissioned and you can imagine the commissions I was paying I mean, yeah, we had a really good deal because we were like the top buy and firm in the country So, you know, I still was trading 50,000 contracts every day on average especially around 2003-2004. So back then that was 10% of the world volume in the E-mini S&P every day So back then it traded about 500,000 shares or contracts a day and I was 50,000 of those round terms So that just shows you, you know, and again, I'm not saying this to brag because when you hear the rest of the story, it's not as fairy tale-like But I'm telling you just because I got so much market information by watching, sitting, watching it every single day watching every tick go through the market that when it comes to order flow reading, knowing what works what doesn't work, I basically know. So that's why I tell that story So fast forward, you know, 2005-2006 is when volatility, you know, went just dropped to the floor I think it was like a 10, 11 or 12 and you couple that with the computer algorithms that took over were starting to take over the marketplace, which I had not seen up till then You know, at the time I was one of the fastest in the world clicking a mouse and but I was not as fast as a computer as you can imagine So the low volatility coupled with these algorithms just literally blew me out So, you know, you would see a price, you'd go to click on it, you'd miss it You go to click on another price, you'd miss it You'd have resting orders and kind of like this is actually a good example of what it used to be like how it's trading right now with the tweets that come out That's what it would do, but the problem back then was that it wouldn't... The trade would, it would... Oh, I was trying to think, I'm sorry Oh, so back then because of low volatility, you would get run over like this Like it's trading with these tweets, but then it wouldn't trade again the rest of the day So I would get run over, I'd lose, you know, 300 grand and then I'd just be sitting there with no opportunity to make any kind of money So that just ruined me So I literally went from making millions of dollars to zero overnight So, you can decide that there So then I spent the next, you know, seven, eight years literally trying to reinvent my style and, you know, trade a little longer term not days, but, you know, hours, minutes, hours, that was a long term for me So, you know, basically, I was just at my... It looks and where I just couldn't make money and I'm sure I know a lot of traders back then went through the same type of thing where it was very easy at one point, but... So, you know, I traded kind of sporadically over the following years I'd say 2013 to 2016 and I started getting back into it again and then I was introduced to Bookmap by Dr. Brett Steenbarter who actually went in my heyday, he sat behind me for a year to see, you know, what made me tick and why I was, you know, why I excelled at what I did and he actually wrote a book, Enhancing Trader Performance and he put me throughout the book and then afterwards if you're going to read my trials and tribulations and, you know, my rise and fall it's all in there, but it's a great book for trading too as well So, anyway, fast forward today and Dr. Brett and I have always kept in touch he's always been my biggest cheerleader, wanted me to get back on top and he introduced me to this program called Bookmap and the minute I saw it, I was just blown away I knew this was the missing piece that I could not see because as anyone knows and I've actually, since I've been doing these webinars I've been hearing from more and more people that claim they're trying to trade the dome, you know, depth of market, which is in my opinion impossible, right? So, if I'm saying it's impossible, it's probably pretty damn hard because I was, you know, lightning fast, my processing, mental processing is obviously above average, so for what I was able to do in the past so if I'm saying it's impossible, it's pretty hard So, anyway, I still let these traders contact me how, you know, that they're trying to trade off the dome and so anyway, you know, I've tried that many, many, many years and it just does not work because the difference between nowadays and before in the past was now in the past if you saw size in the book, meaning big orders, they were real people really wanted to trade those orders, right? And you can lean on those orders so if you wanted to sell the market at a price and you looked up and, you know, above the market and you see 3,000, 2,000, 3,000 I'm talking E-mini, S&P now, you can sell and then if you were wrong, you can buy into that size, which is really important when you become a bigger trader, right? So, now fast forward to today again, today's the book is meaningless most times, right? I mean, everyone could attest to this where you see, you know, 1,000 sitting in the book and you're all excited that, you know, someone's willing to sell and then it comes up to that price and it pulls and it's a five lot and then there's five lots for the next 12 ticks and then you get an air pocket, right? And then you stopped out. So that's the point. Like the size in the book is not legitimate in the dome in my opinion and I'm sure everyone could agree. So anyway, back to book map is, you know, when I saw this program I was absolutely blown away with immediately let me showed me that I was on a level playing field with these algorithms, right? Because when you're able to see this liquidity in when it's real, when it's willing to sit in the book for a long period of time, when it's willing to sit in the book when Mark comes up to it as opposed to you can see when they're putting in pulling, putting in pulling, that is, you know, that is the missing piece of information that traders need to compete with these algorithms, you know, in the present. So, you know, algorithms I think the last stat I saw was there's 70% of all market action is probably higher than that I would guess, but nowadays, I mean, this is a year or two ago. So in my eyes, unless you write programs, you know, if you're a click trader, there, this is the missing piece of information you need to be competitive with these algorithms, you know, and again, I've seen it all. I've done it all. I know market flow and I know order flow and I've never seen anything like this that lays it out for you where you can actually see the games that are being played and know it's legitimate and what's not legitimate. So, so anyway, it's just been, you know, I've only been using book map for about five, six months now, but and I have an absolute ton to learn. I don't claim to be an expert by any means. I do claim to be somewhat of an expert as far as knowing the games that are played in the market because I used to play those games. So that's why I know, right? So I know my whole basis of trading is one, keep it simple, you know, because that's what it is. And I look for areas that traders get caught and, you know, where there's big participants and when they're wrong, they have to puke out their positions. And again, I know this firsthand because, you know, Bruce has asked me before what was, what was I able to trade size-wise and back in my heyday, I would, I can trade my firm and allow me to trade up to 3,000 E-mini S&Ps at one time. And the story I always tell is, and it's sad to say the only time I ever had 3,000 E-mini S&Ps on when I was wrong, right? So when, you know, I would, I would buy and then the market would come down a little more and I'd buy some more and then it wouldn't go. And then, you know, I just start trying to defend my position where I just put some resting orders, you know, 500,000, 500,000 below, trying to hold the market up. And then when it went, you know, I'd sit there and crap my pants for a couple seconds, you know, I'm sure every trader can attest and then I'd have to puke the position because you just can't take that kind of heat, right? I'm looking, you're looking at, you know, 100, 200, $300,000 I was about to lose if I didn't get out of that position. So my whole point is that's what I look for in the markets, I look for those areas and that's what Bookmap helps you do along with some relative volume things that I look at that I'll point out here, but Bookmap puts you on a level playing field where, you know, you can know where guys are in trouble and take advantage of that and you can apply that to any methodology you use, right? So I'm always preaching on these webinars where I'm not trying to teach you to trade like me per sale, like as far as, you know, exact setups I use and, you know, the simplicity of what I look at, you know, you can do whatever you're using, market profile, tick charts and anything that you look at is perfectly fine if it makes, you need to find something that makes sense to you first and foremost. And then all you do is you add in this volume, real-time volume, which is what drives markets, right? Price doesn't drive markets. Fibonacci levels don't drive markets. You know, lines on the chart don't, you know, moving averages, those don't drive markets. Yes, you see, you see markets react at those areas, but they're reacting because a real-time volume coming in. So the whole point is you want to know if your areas are legitimate by the real-time volume that's coming in and how to read that real-time volume and that's what Bookmap allows you to do. So again, it's, I can't say enough about it, you know, I basically approached Bruce and just told him how much I loved it and then that's when he asked me to start doing webinars, but that's basically the extent. I mean, I'm just a loyal follower and, you know, again, I can't wait to learn. They are adding so many things or just so many things that were already in this program. I don't even know about it. It's very exciting, but just the basics, you can compete, right? You compete in the marketplace with these algos and that's the most important thing. So let me make stuff the way. Okay, I'll go over some of these, some of these actual trades or market patterns. So not all these are trades that I've taken. I've taken a majority of them, but the point is not, again, I'm not trying to say, first of all, I'm not trying to say I'm a thousand-lot trader anymore, right? I'm pretty small comparatively what I was and, you know, I'm basically building myself up again, right? I mean, I'm successful, but I'm not, you know, I'm not making $10 million a year like I used to admit to my goal. But so my point is when I'm showing you this stuff, it's not to say, hey, here's my trade, do what I do. It's to show you, hey, look at what I look at, look at why this is relevant and how you apply it to your trading. So I want to start off with, you know, went from dead just watching paint dry on a wall to rip your head off moves when Trump decides to tweet or China says something. So I like, I want to leave with this because I look for more structure in my trading, meaning areas that make sense like VWAP or daily value area and stuff like that, but there's going to be times where, you know, you get these ridiculous moves out of nowhere and instead of just sitting there stewing that you missed it, there are opportunities to get long. So this is why Bookmap is so important, isn't it? So this was yesterday, right? So I always use very current examples as well because actually this was today. So I'm sorry, so my charts might be off because again, I lost everything right before I came on. No, this was yesterday. I'm sorry, just because I screen shot it this morning, but I went back and screen shot it was yesterday. One of the Trump tweets, again, I apologize for this being so not coherent because I had to go back and reload all of these while I was talking because I lost them right before the webinar. But so this was the move, the Trump tweet with the E-mini S&P ripped as well. I won't look at that, but saying to yourself, now if you're looking at a bar chart, you're saying yourself, where do I get in on this, you know, do I buy right here? Do I, you know, I don't want to miss this going up another dollar? And the thing is with bar charts, you can't really go, right? I mean, you're just going to blindly buy. I mean, where in this bar are you going to buy that makes sense risk-reward-wise, right? That's what trading is. You always got to make sure that it's making sense risk-reward-wise, meaning you're risking one to make three, four, five, six, or more, right? You're not risking one to make one. And I know there's a lot of traders out there. I've been, I've been mentoring traders as well that tell me they're, you know, they're looking, they're risking, you know, two points to make two points. And I'm telling you right now, you will not be around very long by doing that. You just cannot do that in these marketplaces these days with the algorithms. You just cannot do it, especially when you're paying three, four dollars commission around turn. It's a bot. I'm telling you, if you, if you can do it, and you can show me statements for years worth of trading that you've, that you've made, you know, very good money, I would love to meet you. Please send me your information because take it from me. It is impossible to trade that short, you know, the one-to-one and make a living doing this. Okay. In my opinion. So the whole point is you want multiple sending. Where do you buy on this, on this bar? So when you go to look at book mat, I mean, this is thinkorswim as well. So quick thing before we get into this. So what I look at, I have, this is just, these are all defaults on thinkorswim. I think you can open an account for nothing. If anything, you can put a hundred bucks in and then pull it back out and then you have, you have chart access, right? So this is literally thinkorswim. This is literally default settings, right? So this is the VWAP. This is the daily value error we call. And I've learned this from SMB futures, which I always give a plug to because I've learned a lot from Merrick Black on the futures side. And then also I've learned a ton on the stock side, which we'll get into as well because you want to be able to, you want to have stocks in your arsenal because, you know, when the markets aren't doing this, when they're doing this for days at a time, you want to be able to move to another instrument. But the stock training on from SMB, it's S as in Sam, M as in Mary, B as in Boy. Just Google them. They're all over the place. They are legitimate and they're, they've taught me so much, you know, and I'm a 20-year trading veteran. So if you want to learn about stocks and even futures, go to them. But anyway, so this is what Merrick teaches a little bit is the daily value error. But all I use is the VWAP daily value error and I look at relative volume. That's basically my trading. And I look at little market structure as far as market profile, but not in the sense where you're cutting off cumulative value areas, you know, as an ARC where it's more, I'm looking for, you know, high volume areas or the top of balance areas, bottom of balance areas, things like that. Okay, so I keep getting off the subject here. So anyway, this was the move. Again, where do you buy here? Unless you want to buy here and risk all the way down here, risking 40 cents, then there's, you can't really tell unless you use BookMap, right? So this is what it looked like in BookMap again. So this isn't a normal trade for me. And I really don't take these, but this one, this is just to show you that, you know, if you're trying to take advantage of the news, you can, right? So this was the news that came out the same. They reached stage three or whatever it was. And again, it doesn't matter what it is. It matters what market's doing, right? So again, you see it blow through. So liquidity for people that don't know our liquidity is resting orders in the book and the darker the red or orange or whatever color it is, I'm color blind. And so that's why my bubbles on the BookMap are red and blue instead of red and green just because I can't tell a difference. In case people are wondering about that but everything else is basic default on BookMap as well. But anyway, these lines represent liquidity, right? So this is kind of scrunched just because this move is so drastic as you saw by that bar chart. But as it rips through all of this liquidity, where do you get in, right? So for me, what I've learned by watching, you know, countless hours of BookMap and the replay and everything else and I'm gonna show you replay at the end as well. But there, you know, do you really want to buy here? First of all, you probably couldn't have because it was so fast. But even here, I mean, you wanna wait for a pullback to find out if the buyers are gonna engage again. If not, you're gonna end up buying here and you're gonna watch come all the way back here, right? I actually did it today. I'm gonna show you that later. One of my examples coming up here but that's exactly what it did today. But the point is, if it blows through all this liquidity, the way you have to think about it, the way I think about it, and again, I know because this used to happen to me is these guys are loaded up. Imagine if you have resting orders here, right? You have thousands, 500, whatever, whatever the size was that up blew through here. Imagine that to you, they got that taken from you and you had no chance to get out, like none. And you're holding your breath, right? So anytime it comes back, you're like, oh, please God, just come back a little bit and I'm out. That's how you have to think because that's what's happening, even if it's an algorithm, some are set up like this. But you can see here when it pulls back, it stops right in this area. The minute you see the blue come back in, you can buy and then risk down here, right? So again, this is all about risk reward. So if you're waiting in that conviction bar, this bar here and you're trying to find a spot to get in, this is the spot, right? So the minute you see a pullback and then the buyer, again, you don't just buy it blindly, right? You could if you're really aggressive but I wanna see the buyers engage again. So you wait for the selling, here comes the buying again, you buy right here, anywhere in here, you put your stop right here. So what's this, 30 to 34, you can risk down to 20, right? So this is about 20 right here. So you're talking 15 ticks because if this goes, again, this is fuel to the fire. So all these guys that got run over, try to get out of some and they can't and then they gotta chase it up again. So again, risk reward, you're risking 15 ticks, you're telling yourself, okay, I'm gonna try to hold to this next liquidity because as you see in the book, this was the main liquidity that's been in here for a long time, meaning this is the most real liquidity, right? So this was some two, it's just not as heavy as this, but the point is you're getting in here saying, okay, I'm buying at 30 and I'm risking, I wanna see if I can get at least two to one, on my trade, two, three to one, right? So the first liquidity level that I would consider getting out at is this one. And you can see as it came up here, the sellers came in, you could have sold right here, right? So again, I don't usually take this trade, it's because I just don't, I'm just not that aggressive in my trading as far as what I wanna risk, but I need to see a little more structure, but for people that wanna know, hey, how do I get involved in these tweets that are coming out? This is a perfect example, and this can go for any market, right? You see areas that are blown through, you know guys are caught when it comes back in and then they re-engage, that's when you get in and you ride it, right? Until you see the sellers come back in. So again, my trading is very simple and I highly recommend you simplify yours as much as possible at least with the order flow, right? At least with this stuff. So anyway, so this was later in the day, so that was that move here that we caught, right? And lo and behold, that was the high or that I pointed out where you could have bought. So this is my type of trade, right? So I'm looking, this is VWAP right here. So I'm looking for a move back down to VWAP and I wanna see again, and I'm gonna show you why you need to see the volume confirmation and not just blindly buying here at VWAP. Again, you can, right? And you're gonna be right some of the times. That's why trading is so lucrative, right? Cause sometimes you're right, but a lot of times you're wrong. Don't you wanna know why you're right and why you're wrong? This is what book map tells you, right? If you're just buying off a chart, sometimes it'll bounce off VWAP and then it'll go all the way back up to the daily value or high. Sometimes it'll rip right through, right? What makes the difference? That's what I wanna know, right? I wanna know why I'm only right half the time and the other half they don't work, right? Cause the more conviction you can have in your trade, the better you're gonna be and the bigger size you can put on with confidence, right? So again, this comes down to VWAP and then on the book map, so this is exactly what it looked like, right? So this is VWAP. So first area of liquidity, this wasn't as heavy as this obviously, but you see heavy selling come through, it tries to rebomb, doesn't really do it. If you're aggressive, yes, you could have bought right here. But then you wanna see, because this already blew through this, so I wanna see it, how it reacts. So it blows through this right here, it rejects, it comes through, there's still selling, a little buying, and then kind of just, I bought right here before, but I didn't buy here. I actually got in right here for once. I actually had a really good fill, but so anyway, it comes down here and then it re-engages here, but you can see now as it comes into this really heavy liquidity, which again, it was right on VWAP or just below it, but look at the difference between the selling here. So you have heavy selling here and then look at the difference with the selling as far as the size of the bubbles, right? So not only are you getting less selling as far as aggressiveness and buyers are fighting back, and it's still red, but buyers are obviously fighting back because it's not as big of a heaviest seller or aggressive selling. But then you can lean on this resting liquidity in the book as well, right? Which should, you know, it's 166. When you're just looking at this, you're thinking, well, 166 isn't that much, but relatively speaking, it is that much. That's why this is, and that's what the algorithm for book map is based off of. So you can feel confident that this is a lot of volume in the crude market, right? So anyway, the minute you see the buying, and again, huge bubble, biggest bubble bigger than this bubble, probably bigger than this one as well, but it's just one of the biggest bubbles in this whole area. You can get long, you risk just below here. Again, there's gonna be times where it'll turn around and it'll sell through it, but the point is, you have a lot of confluent factors here that you can take this trade. So you see the buying, you get in, you know, V-Wops right there, and then you also have this heavy liquidity that you can lean on. So you're risking, you buy right here, you're buying between 16 and 18, you're risking down to 12, or even if you wanna put it below this liquidity, you're risking down eight. You're risking eight to 10 ticks. If you're white, you know, you're gonna be making it, this market's going back to these areas, right? Where this heavier liquidity is. It's just, that's just how the markets work. So the other thing is, you want to, again, the relative volume is really important, right? So on this move up, on this tweet, this relative volume was almost eight times normal volume. That is very significant, and this is what I look for, right? I don't just usually buy at V-WAP, I wanna see an area either in the past that high relative volume, because again, the guys that bought here or got run over here, I should say so, I'm sorry, that got run over by the buyers, now they're gonna, again, the ones that were able to hold on and hold their breath long enough, they came back down, they're out, right? Especially in an area that makes sense to most traders, that most funds and people look at as V-WAP, right? So again, I look for heavy volume, relative volume, and then areas where I can engage as long as the real-time volume is showing me that the buyers are, the sellers are either losing or the buyers are engaging, right? So that's why I got on in this area. And then, how was that? No, a question from the very get-go was about when you started trading back in the day, what were the tools you were using, like just time and sales in the dome? I was literally using, I would really even have a chart up, and I'm not exaggerating, I would stare at the dome all day, every day. I would not take a break. When it would die down, I'd walk across the street, there was a subway across the street, I would grab a subway and get back in front of my screen. So I literally stared at the dome, tick for tick, every day for four plus years. Wow, intense. Okay. What you have to do, right? You have to do that if you wanna be a effective scalper. I mean, you have to know exactly what's coming in the market at all times, right? So that's what I'm saying, when I talk, I don't claim to be some guru to this day. What I'm saying is the things I'm telling you about book map, about what it's showing you, what's really happening, and also not be able to just stare at the dome and make trades and be successful, that's when you should listen to my opinion. Okay, okay. There's a question here about the watching time in sales and using maybe footprint chart as well. Footprint charts, or market delta charts, what you probably are aware of, but it's showing the volume very precisely at price levels, the transactions. It's in a bar, an aggregated bar of data, but I'm wondering if they're asking if you use that as well. No, I use programs like that before. I don't wanna plug any other programs, but software that read the cumulative volume and things like that, I just was not effective. I was average, a little below average probably. I just wasn't effective enough where you'll see a big bar and so for instance, you'll see this bar and you'll see the cumulative volume was plus 3,000 buyers over sellers, meaning there's always the same amount of sellers and buyers in the market, meaning who is the aggressor, right? So okay, that was great to know, but I can see that right here with the bar. Like that doesn't help me make decisions in certain areas per se, right? So again, I'm sure there's some people that can use programs like that and be successful. I just couldn't, I mean, I just was not an elite trader using those things. And what I'm telling you is book map will bring you to the next level. I will absolutely guarantee it. Wow, that's really nice to hear. I totally agree. I mean, during the webinars, we make the point like, well, I mean, yeah, if those tools work, that's great, but they're just, they're missing things. There's data that is missing from it, first it's aggregated. And so nuances in the structure and volume within that structure is not seen. Plus there's just simply no liquidity in there at all. You don't see it, right? So there's no context to the order book within it. Right, exactly. You don't know what areas are legitimate, what areas are not legitimate. It's great. You can't really see how the market's transacted there in a certain type of way, but you don't really know. You can't really see real time like how the market responds or how these orders respond when the markets get there and whether they pull it, whether they engage, whether the sellers hit it hard and don't win. And I mean, there's just, again, it's like nothing I've ever seen. Right, right. That's very, really, really nice to hear. It makes us blush over here at book map. Let me tell you. You should. So, let's see. This is a really good question. And we do cover it in the webinars as well about anticipating when the aggressors might be hitting the bid or lifting the offer with a massive amount. Is that, I did answer it in the questions here, but would like to get your response as well. Like how do you anticipate that? How do I anticipate big orders coming in? Yeah. I mean, I really don't anticipate it. I wait to see the big orders come in, right? So, I mean, this is an example, right? So you're looking at the size of the bubbles. One tells you how aggressive these sellers are being versus like this is an example I just showed, right? Right, heavy selling here. And then look at the difference between the size of the bubbles, that alone. But then if you start to incorporate some relative volume in there and you see this is much higher volume than normal, things like that. But again, don't confuse yourself, right? I mean, this will be the third time I've used this example. I could put my eight year old daughter in front of the screen here and ask her what is happening. And she'll say, well, the red bubbles are really big here and they're really small here. And then I see the blue. So I'm gonna go with the blue, right? So it's like that, I know it sounds ridiculous, but the simpler you can make your trading to make sense for you of what's going on in the order flow, the better you're gonna do, right? When you start adding in all these layers of nonsense, all these lines and indicators and everything else, what I'm telling you is you don't need them, right? You can use them, but you better be using this. Or again, like you just said, you don't have all the information. You're not trading with all the information. We're going against the brightest minds in the world. You probably wanna have all the information. Right, right. Exactly. I mean, like another question here, Peter is asking, do you ever look at the dome anymore? I look at the dome when I pull my order in. And put my stops in. That's it. It's worthless, it's in my mind. Again, this is all my opinion. Many traders might have different opinions. In my opinion, it is absolutely worthless. All it does is drive you crazy and it doesn't give you any information. It's so fleeting. It's so fast half the time. The stuff that's pulling, putting in, pulling and putting in. Granted, yeah, an order might sit there, but then when it comes down to it, did it really get hit? Did they pull it? Because it happens so fast. A lot of times, you can't tell if it traded. You can't tell how much of it traded. When you have this, you can see, if there was a 200 lot right here, you know that thing just, you know it really got hit, right? So that's the difference between looking at this or looking at the order book. Right, right, right. Excellent. No, really, really nice to hear. I think that's it for now and I'll keep an eye on the questions here and interrupt you if... Okay, so how long do I have? Because I have a, again, I cost myself 15 minutes because I lost all my charts. I mean, do you want... I can keep going. I don't have anywhere to be. I just don't know if you need to cut this off at a certain time. I would like to continue on and do a regular webinar with you and maybe I can go back and edit out some of those pieces. So continue on, no worries, Scott. Okay, so back to this example. So this is where I was showing that I personally got along yesterday for this trade and that was at the VWAP. Again, I didn't get long personally on this move because, you know, again, it happened pretty fast but I'm just showing the traders that like, that want to be involved in these tweets, this is somewhere you can be involved. Okay, so this one I dig it in and so then you're saying where do you get out, right? So I got in right here and I already showed the context for that. So I was in my mind saying, this needs to go back up to daily value very high. So again, all these, both these lines are just two standard deviations from VWAP, right? But they're very effective because this is what a lot of algos are using. This is where mutual funds are and hedge funds are using, you know, the base their trades, the base their exits and even more so on stocks. I mean, you can see kind of like, kind of went up with it, but then when it's stabilized this isn't exactly where it bounced off of here. But anyway, so my original target, so this is another reason why BookMap is so incredible, right? So if I'm trading off the chart and I buy VWAP and this time I'm right, right? You know, out of my 650% of the times I'm right when I do this, right? So I have my good risk rewards and I'm saying, okay, I'm risking my 10 ticks like I showed you and I'm trying to get up to 70 here, right? So I'm risking, I'm buying around 20 and I'm trying to get to 70. So I'm risking 10 ticks to make 50, right? Five to one, beautiful, great. So what happens when it doesn't get up here, right? How do I know this is an area where I should be paying attention to because I never got here, right? So yes, I wanted to get here and what you want is one thing and what's really happening is another, right? So why could this area be significant on the chart? It could be significant because this is kind of a balance area here. When I say balance area I'm talking about two-sided trade and it broke down from, right? But when I'm just looking at the chart I'm thinking this doesn't look that significant where the market would just literally just stop six, seven times right here, right? But it did. So it doesn't matter what I think in the end it matters what's really happening. So my point is if you're looking at a chart and you're trying to stay in this trade you're like, okay, this isn't that big of a deal. I'm gonna hold to this. I'm gonna hold till 59, 69 the DVA, right? And then you end up, it comes all the way back you get stopped out, right? So this is why, again, book map is incredible, right? So this is when I got up. So again, I'm hoping it gets to 70. I'm hoping it gets up here. But when you see stuff like this, so here's a liquidity. This was looking great right here, great right here. I'll blew through, I'm golden. Then I see this and I'm like, oh no. Like this is not what you wanna see. You don't wanna see, look at the size of this cell bubble here. After it tried to bust through liquidity. So you have guys that just bought here, bought here. Now you get a heavy aggressive seller, right? So you had aggressive buyer, aggressive buyer. Again, imagine this is you buying this. You buy 200, you buy 300. It's immediately in your face and now you see someone just hammering it. You're thinking yourself, if you're the buyer here you're like, this is what I was expecting, right? And this wasn't what I was expecting either. So when I saw this and I saw this, this moved on so quickly. I'm like, okay, well I wanna see what it does when it gets back up here. Because by that time I'd already come down around 40. Now I'm only looking at, I had a one-to-one trade. So I was like, okay, well I'm not getting out at one-to-one. I'm at least see if I can get a little more out of this. I wanna see, I'm hoping. So sometimes it doesn't do this, right? Sometimes it comes right back. And that's just, I mean, if you were sharp enough you could have got out right here. I was not because again, a lot of times in every trader can attest to this as well. You don't wanna believe this is ending, right? You're thinking, ah, now this is just one seller big deal. So it comes down here and then when it came back up here I see less buying, less buying and I see sellers engaging. It can't really do it. So when I saw this right here, so I saw this liquidity got put in and I saw somebody hit the liquidity again, I got out. So I ended up making like 26 ticks, risking 10, 2.6 ratio, which isn't great. But again, just because you want five-to-one doesn't mean you're gonna get five-to-one. Yes, you don't wanna get out for no reason. But if you see a reason to get out, then you get out, right? So again, I got 2.6 to one. But when I saw this, I was out and yes, it did come back a little bit but it never went anywhere higher, right? So or much higher, I should say. You could see here, you know, it just kind of bounced, bounced, bounced and then it sold off. So I got out and I was okay with it. And again, real-time buying showed me exactly what was happening. I this is not what the market does when it continues to rip higher. It just doesn't, especially when they're winning. This guy, these traders hit, these guys bought wrong, these guys hit right, came up here, no one engages, no big buying, guys hit again, that's when I got out. I wasn't playing around with it and I'm done on to the next trade, right? Again, there are so many opportunities, especially with BookMabb, especially when you start adding in extra instruments like stocks and things like that where you don't need to bang your head against the wall, trying to force this trade to hope pray it goes up to 70. Just get out, you're out of it, move on to the next opportunity. Yeah, that's a really good point. In fact, when we had the advanced webinars last week or a few weeks ago and discussing some of the things that how you might have been looking at it and how you might have been trading it, the question came up of like, well, would he be getting out? And then look at it and it's like, just like that example, and we'd say like, yeah, I think he would be getting out but he would be looking for if it went higher again, he would be getting right back in. Right, right, well, that's the point, right? There's no reason you can't get back in and I'm very bad at this. I will admit, I mean, I have many weaknesses like a lot of traders, right? I'm so mad that it did this, it's like it's very hard for me to be like, okay, well, I'm gonna try it again, right? I mean, it's just against my nature a lot of time and you have to condition yourself to say, okay, I got out here, you know, it's very hard, the common trader, it's very hard to sell here and then rebuy here and you just cost yourself 10 ticks, right? And then you're afraid this stuff's gonna happen again. But there's nothing wrong if you see these huge buy bubbles come in again to just get in again, risk five to 10 ticks and give it a shot up to 70, you can do that. I don't usually trade that way because most of the time I'm pissed off that I didn't make what I wanted to make and again, that's a weakness in mine, right? So I hope this is resonating with traders that just because I was a million dollar trader at one point, it doesn't mean I don't have the same feelings and make the same stupid mistakes that the trader that's been trading for six months does, right? So the point is you can get better at it and the real point is you can get way better at it knowing where this real volume is occurring instead of just trading up bar charts. So this is perfect, this happened today, right? This is probably one of the reasons I lost all my screenshots because I was trying to get this in so this almost looks like a carbon copy from yesterday, right? So here's the big, here's the tweet. I'm assuming it was the tweet I wasn't on the news because I was getting ready for this webinar but I'm assuming this was a tweet about China and then again, here's the ridiculous huge volume coming in, boom, comes back to BeWop. Again, this is a perfect example where, okay, I'm gonna buy BeWop just like I did yesterday while, and then let's take a look what happened. If you're watching the Market Stay, you know what happened but oh, look at that, right through it. So there you go, there's your 50%, one time I'm right, one time I'm wrong. That's not good enough for me, right? I wanna know why was I wrong this time? Why is this different? This looks exactly like yesterday's trade, right? I'm sure every trader is talking to themselves right now saying exactly, I asked myself the same thing, right? Cause that's what I wanna know, right? And this is what book map shows you, right? So real time volume, look at the difference, right? So this came down to BeWop, so BeWop was at, sorry, again, I didn't study this as much. So BeWop is at 59.73, right? So there we go. So this rips through here, rips through here, it looks like the blind, so again, you could have, for this first blip, you could have been like, okay, yeah, it's the same thing as yesterday I'm long right here. This is a different look here. I wanna see the market buying above, or see this liquidity, liquidity, liquidity, I wanna see the buyers get above that, and then I'm in, so I'd buy right around here and then I'd risk down here, hoping it doesn't come back, but so look at the difference in the chart where huge sellers, little buyers, never gets above this liquidity where the first initial heavy selling came in, and then it just rips, right? So that's what I mean. If you are using book map, you don't have to be a 50% trader, you don't have to be saying, oh, this BeWop looks just like yesterday, right? I mean, look at the difference in the volume, right? So it's like, you had it here, you had it here, but then again, you had a big level and the selling dried up. You show me where on here the selling dries up, the selling, it just crushes, right? So it's huge, still selling, selling big, big, bigger, bigger, bigger, right? So it's like, this can keep you out of this trade. So even if you did buy here, which again, I wouldn't buy right here, I would wait till it cleared, but again, you probably wouldn't be taking this long and I was watching this real time and I did not take this long because I was like, this does not look like yesterday. Looks like yesterday on a bar chart, it doesn't look like yesterday in real time trading and that's what makes the difference and that's what is important. So again, this thing free falls and I don't even know what it's doing now, but the point is you would have stayed out of this trade and for a good reason, right? I mean, just look at rip through this, rip through liquidity, rip through liquidity, hold right there, rip through liquidity, starts to rip through liquidity, I'm sure it probably went down a little more and then who knows, probably ranging, but the point is you avoided that trade. So you don't have to be 50-50 if you're using Bookman for mine and that's what it looks like in the bar chart. So this is, okay, so this is another example. So this is E-mini S&PS, right? I did lose on this trade, right? So again, this was the same crude example and I had made money on the crude, so now I was waiting for this and I was like, I can't wait for the E-mini because it's gonna do the same exact thing. Well, and behold, it did not, right? So again, just because you're using Bookmap or anything doesn't mean you're gonna be 100% right, but looking at it again, looking back at it, there's some different decisions I could have made that you learn from, right? So that's the whole point and that's another thing with the replay where I remember I said how I have just thousands and thousands of minutes of experience of watching these markets. With Bookmap, you can go back and replay the day in five minutes and you can see exactly what went through. So instead of sitting for six hours, you can do it in five minutes and that is like just reinforcing these patterns, right? Because that's all it is, you wanna learn the volume patterns, right? So I'm gonna show you a replay at the end here, which I think you guys will enjoy, so anyway, the difference between this one, so this is VWAP was, make sure I get this right. VWAP was right around 60 where I bought. Okay, yeah, so it came here and I saw this and I bought right here, right? And then I stopped out. I just put it right below here. So it wasn't a big deal. I bought like, I think it was like 62 and I lost, I usually use a three point stop trying to make, again, at least 10 to 12 points is my goal. But anyway, what was different here is this came down and the sellers engaged and it took out that liquidity, right? So this liquidity that was here for a while, that's how you know it was real and then you see the sellers. The thing was, it came back down here and there was nothing here to really support it. And you had some buying but, and then the selling dried up, right? So I showed you the other example in crew where the selling dried up. Yeah, but the selling dried up in a liquidity. This is below where liquidity was and there's nothing here. I wish I would have put this higher so you can see below here. There was nothing below here. So yeah, the selling is drying up right now and then the buyers went for a second and then it just falls apart, right? For five, I can't remember, I'll show you, but anyway, the point is the difference between this selling drying up is one is below this liquidity and there's no liquidity here to lean on, right? So in this example, this one here, the selling dries up, right? This is the same trade, the VWAP trade in crude I just showed, but look at this, look at the difference, right? That's the difference. So yeah, the selling dries up but you wanna be able to lean on something, you know, to help you want these bigger traders to help you and you want bigger traders to be interested in that area because if big traders aren't interested in that area then why are you interested in that area? That's my philosophy, right? You want the big money behind you, you don't wanna be just using subjective areas on the chart and hope you're right because you're not gonna be most of the time. So that was that, I got stopped out on that one. Again, looking back at it, I could have been better, you know, again, hindsight, yeah, it looked like, I mean, I bought here and then it almost looked like it by here but when you really look at it, when you drill down, there was no support here at all and it was below, this was happening below this area where they originally took it out so I should not have bought there but I did and I lost but I only lost one unit. So again, so now this is, you know, I always wanna take advantage of these high relative volume areas. This was seven times normal volume ripping through the market, right? So that's why I got long at VWAP the first time. Now I'm saying to myself, you know, I usually would say, oh, I'm not gonna get long again till it trades down to the value area low, which again is a two standard deviations from VWAP but the point is, if it retraces this entire seven times volume bar, you don't wanna be long whatsoever and I think that was happening in the mini right before I came on, you don't wanna be long, Matt, you wanna see an area where this heavy volume that these guys got run over are reengaging to get out of their trades or new long's coming in. So you never wanna see this retrace this whole thing and again, I can go, you know, because of the reaction to these webinars and the response, you know, I just started at the mentoring and I had scottplacenetrader.com, I work with my good friend, Nick Brinelli, but we're offering the mentorship so we can go over all this and mentorship if you guys are interested, just go to the website, you can see the stuff but the point is, what I point out to my students is you wanna try to find an area to get back in, even if you were stopped here, let's see if you can find one more area. Again, you don't wanna be buying if it comes all the way down here because now these guys are in big trouble. But if as long as it's staying within this bar over here, find another area, right? So it's exactly what I did because I was convinced it was gonna, because you know how you many always rebounds, right? So this is a good example, right? So yes, there was nothing on the chart per se for what I look at as far as VWAP or even like a, you know, even a balance area higher or low, but you can see liquidity, liquidity, liquidity. They win, sellers win, buyers actually step up. There's no selling here, it comes back. They try to reengage again, buyers come back in. And what's different here is yes, it's below this liquidity, but what didn't I see on that last VWAP trade I lost on? There was no, here's liquidity below this. So now you're getting, the sellers are not winning, here's some buying, you've got liquidity here, it's right around this liquidity that you just can't push it through here, right? And again, I'm using the context of that bar. I wanna try to be long one more time, right? So I bought here, and actually I think I bought right here, I saw this, I bought right here, and 52 and I risked down to just below, I think I stopped at 49 and acquired a little more than three points. But again, if it came back down, just like the VWAP trade that I lost on, then I'm wrong, I use one, I lose one unit, but I was not wrong on this one and the thing just rips, right? And it just kept ripping the rest of the day. So that's an example of the more you see this, these patterns you're gonna learn and then when you couple that with the areas or chart lines or chart areas that makes sense to you and then you add in this real-time volume and see what's really going on, you're gonna be on unbeatable, right? So that's, or you're gonna be on a level playing field at least with these algorithms, right? So that's the difference between this and the VWAP trade I lost. Yes, it was kind of in the middle of nowhere as far as where I look at, but it really wasn't because I saw this resting liquidity that's been in there all morning, now they're failing at it, right? So that's how I trade. Oh yeah, I mean, you're alluding to a point in essence that is really nice is that all of these kinds of traditional technical analysis or even if it's auction market theory and market profile or auction profile, volume profile, all of these patterns exist because of the order flow, right? You know, they're made up because of the order flow. If you see like a double bottom pattern and you don't see, and just like Scott went over and you don't see the things in here that make it look like the buyers are coming back in on the second leg and retest back down, now you have something, or you have something as well, like if they're showing more sellers on that next retest, I mean, now you know though, like that's gonna fail, that double bottom is gonna fail, it's gonna go through it or at least much higher probability that is going to fail. So anyway. You're exactly right. So this is another chance to get long and this is the same move, right? So this is where I lost on my VWAP trade. This is where I made money on this trade, right? And I'm still on it when I had this happen because my stop was down here and I knew by the end of the day it was gonna rip just because that's what the E-mini S&P does for the last two years. But so you see here, and actually I had examples on what this looked like but I lost all my charts so I just wanted to bring up the most relevant ones. So again, if you're waiting for an area to get long again, this was, yeah, I might be able to, let me see here. I just wanna show, I literally named it E-mini S&P noise. I'm bringing it up here for a second. Okay, yeah, so this was the move back and you can see there was nothing really, where are you gonna get long? So VWAP was like, VWAP was, so this is gonna mess me up because now it's at the bottom of my chart, but yeah, so VWAP was right around 60. So it comes up and then it comes back down. Are you gonna buy VWAPs? And then it gets below and it's just, so it's like, now it's confusing again, right? It's confusing if you're looking at a bar chart, you're like, well, wait a second, this can't hold the, it gets back above. Well, I think it's gonna go, no, back below, right? And now you're getting stopped out playing a line in the chart, right? Instead of the meaningful line, but you need to see volume that's confirming, right? And when you look at this, there is nothing here as it bounces, this is where the temp through VWAP comes back down through. What are you leaning on here? There's nothing, right? Now, and this is the other thing too, when you start to see the chart light up like a Christmas tree, that's when the algos are in full force, right? So again, look at the time of day, this is the day noted flick on the switch, let's play some games, right? So all these guys that are buying around VWAP thinking it's gonna go, what's gonna retest and go, you're getting just hammered here, I'm sure there's some traders listening that tried to buy VWAP yesterday got whipsawed like this, right? So when do you get back in, right? That's the whole point of this is again, I would need to see it either rip through VWAP or what happened, which happened, let's see here, right here. So again, look at this move and look at the relative volume, right? Over two, look at the difference when you're getting your head ripped off on a whipsaw, look at the volume, there's nothing, zero, and that's why it does this. As soon as the relative volume increases, boom, through VWAP, doesn't mean you chase, I'm gonna show you this in the chart, it means you wait for a legitimate area to get in, now you can take a look at VWAP as long as the volume agrees because one, you know, you can lean on this bar, now it comes in, again, if it goes below this bar, hell no, now you're looking for shorts, but it's gonna hold. So you have this bar as a reference, high volume, guys got run over, now you have VWAP that's gonna mean something, right? Because these guys want, the guys that got run over and did not get out, when this comes anywhere back in this area, they are praying and they are getting out. Again, take it from me because this is exactly what I used to do when I would get stuck with 3,000 contracts, holding my breath, please gotta come back so I can just scratch this trade and that's exactly what this is. Then when you can add the confluence of VWAP and then the most important, the order flow, that's when you get your trade. Okay, so this is a different look, okay, so this was, yeah, so this is what I ripped up, so this is what I wanna show you. So this is a different look where it doesn't look like the standard just because it ripped up so quickly, but if you're looking for a place to get long, you have the VWAP, what else can I be using, right? Because you had, here's liquidity, liquidity, equity, all these algos got run over as well, what could I use? I mean, when you scrunch this in, again, this is what it looked like because of this move here, look at the size of this buy bubble versus anything else, right? So if you're just trying to find a reason to get long VWAP, one, it's VWAP, two, you know there was high relative volume, now you add in the real volume, okay, yeah, technically it could be anywhere in this area, but let's give it a shot, this was a big buy, guys really got run over here, resting order offers got run over, let's give it a shot, comes back down, this is VWAP, again, the minute you see the buying, you're in, you risk just below here, then you see the liquidity come in too, so now you got a double whammy, right? You got this, you got VWAP, you got buyers that engaging, you buy at 60, you risk down to 58, right? You can even keep it close to that, but whatever, even if you put it down here. And I think we all know what happened because it happens every day, it rallies to the, you know, rally to the eye. Yeah, so I mean, look at that, so you could have bought 60 in this 12 point trade, right? And then again, I'm sure there was something here, I got out a little earlier here because I had to leave, but I'm sure there was volume here that gave you the signal that, hey, this might not be working and then it bounces around, but again, this is what you look for, it's not just VWAP, it's not just this, it's everything combined and then you have a reason on book map, again, this isn't a normal thing you're gonna see all the time, but this is a way to play these tweets and these ridiculous moves is find things like this, right? Find areas that you see, blows them through the quiddity, comes back, you know, you could have, if you're aggressive, you could have tried to buy here, right? But it was really nothing on the chart and who cares if you did and you lost big deal, you lost one unit, wait one more time, try it again, now you make, you know, four times your money, you make four X, so that's what I'm talking about, you know, trying to trade this real time markets, especially with these tweets, this is a perfect example, again, this is from yesterday, it's not like I'm cherry picking things from four months ago. So this is, a lot of traders are familiar with NYSE tick, so this is a great trade, I have more example, I'll have more examples of these on my website because, you know, we're gonna be also offering actual setups on there as well as, Bruce, I believe the book map marketplace is coming out as well where people can purchase setups, but I'll have a lot more examples of this, but this is just an example of a, everyone knows of the tick divergence or most people do, right? So this is NYSE tick, you see the low was nice seven, you see it come back, so the market made a lower low, but tick did not, right? So that alone could be a bison, right? But again, you're not gonna be, you're probably gonna be a 50% trader, what could you have that's gonna help you on tick divergences? Guess what I'm gonna say, book map, right? So this was the move, this was the divergence, look at the liquidity that was in the book and even got, as it came down to it, even got thicker. So now you're talking, you have, again, as confluence, you have a tick divergence, right there, this is this, this is the first move down, it made the market made a lower low, tick did not, that's your signal, okay, I wanna be long, and this is where you can get long. So the minute you see it into this and you see the buyers come in, you buy right here, you risk right here, I look at this trade, I mean, it's a seven plus point trade, you're risking, you could have bought right here, you're risking a point, point and a half, just put your stop just below this, again, there could be times that it turns around and rips through here, but again, when you're making three, four, or five times your money, when you're right, it doesn't matter, you can be wrong all the time, I already showed you two trades today, I was wrong on, but I still was profitable yesterday. So this was actually not from yesterday, but the point is that you can see. A question on that one, Scott. So, I mean, because I've, you know, I don't have access to tick or ticky or whatever, but I've always thought this was a good strategy, it's just exactly what you're showing right here. The question is on, how are you managing that? Because if you see that some sort of divergence or that extreme on the tick, are you, and then you see this in book map like this, I mean, you don't have to wait for the buyers necessarily, you can get even a better price. Right, absolutely, right, especially for this type of trade. And again, you're aggressive, but you just don't want to be risking three plus points, right, so you're aggressive here, where you say, okay, I'll be aggressive, but if it blows through here, I'm out, I'm risking a point type of, right? Because if this is right, it's gonna be really right, if it's wrong, then I'm gonna lose one point, big deal, right? And then the other thing, and this is the thing I just learned about, again, this is why I love BookMap, it has so many things to offer, and my partner, Nick Brunelli, is an expert at this. This shows you at the prices, so this is actually when the market was up here, not down here, but it shows you the polling and the adding of the orders in the book, so it's like when this, so he actually has a class, he's putting up in the next few days where it kind of shows this, where as you see the selling comes in, are they yanking, are they yanking? I mean, yeah, you can see it in the colors, but are you real time? So look at this, this is sold off, they were yanking their orders, they yank five, they yank five, they yank two, they yank 45. So again, I don't use this yet, just because I'm so new to it, again, my partner, Nick's an expert, this is all he uses are one of the main things he uses when making his decisions in the charts, but this is just another example of just the amazing things that BookMap has, the information that you get that 99% of traders do not have, retail traders do not have, right? And this is the information that the funds, big funds do have, this helps you compete, so again, I don't wanna get into this, don't start asking questions, Nick will be available for you, again, scouplescainterator.com, you can go there and he can help you with this stuff, but I just wanted to show you another, I mean, I have it on my chart again, just because I wanna learn it, but I just find this stuff so fascinating, as far as what I used to do. So, oh yeah, so this is the bar chart of what happened, so this was that exact low, and look at that, I mean, you never even came back, and this was, I mean, if you're able to hold it, using the bookmark volume, I'm sure you could have caught a lot of this, right, even if you're trying to hold the B-wap. Next one is, all right, so this is stocks, I think they're all stocks from here on out, yeah, okay, so again, like I was saying before, you want to have other options when these markets suck, right? So again, yeah, you know he's great now, crude is great, but what about the last three months when it's just ranges in four point range, where guys that are trying to trade for a living, there's nothing to do, so then you're in a forcing trades because you have to make money, you gotta pay rent in three days, I mean, people may be laughing, but trust me, that's exactly what happens, and that's when you make poor decisions because you just don't have any other options, you've gotta put on a trade at an area that might work because you don't even have conviction and because you have to try to make some money, right? The point is, that's fine, but try to make some money in other instruments that actually are moving around and that are in play that day instead of just banging your head on the S&P, which I basically hate S&P even when it trades, but nowadays, but whatever, I still do trade it. So the point is, start looking at stocks, start looking at stocks in play, again, if you want to learn full depth about stocks, I highly recommend SMB, let them know that I recommended you if you decide to get their education, but even if you don't want to do the education, even if you want to use your basic chart knowledge combined with book map, you can absolutely do that. The only thing that I advise is you're trading stocks that are in play, and again, I get this from S&P, this is where I learn the stuff from them, basically, I talk about stocks, except the thing is S&P doesn't use book map, so, but the other stuff that I use, I have learned from S&P, but they talk about stocks that are in play, meaning earnings, meaning news, the CEO is resigning, biotech just came out with a phase two result, things like that, right? You don't want to be trading these stocks, because it's just like trading S&P, stocks are dead, that's the algorithms, that's their heyday, that's what they want, they want retail traders trading these stocks when they're dead, because that's when they turn on the machine and just whipsaw you to your account is zero. So, the point is, if you can get in these stocks when they're in play, and again, this stuff tells you they're in play too, is a relative value for blue, I mean, yesterday when they came out with earnings, if you can get in these stocks that are in play, these algorithms shut off, because they can't afford, this is when the funds start playing in these stocks, these algorithms can't compete with the funds, the funds will run them over, they'll blow out everything that they made in the last month in one day, so that's why they turn them off. So, this was, any questions on that, Bruce, by the way? Sorry, I'm talking a little fast now. Any questions on what again? On the stocks yet, anything about that or? Not really, nothing on the stocks yet, but yeah, I mean, this is such a great point. I mean, it's like, go where the money is, and go where, what's moving, instead of banging your head against the wall. Right, exactly right, please take it from me. So, this was a trade I took as well in Lululemon yesterday, where you can see this heavy selling at the open, again, this was seven, eight, nine times that got it cut off here, but so this is, again, if you don't know what this is, so this is the default setting on Thicker Swim for relative volume, these bars turn yellow once it goes over two times normal volume. So, I can immediately just look at glance at a chart and know if there's big time players in that stock or future, right? So, this is all this is telling you, so when you see it light blue or purple, whatever color this is, again, I'm colorblind, so I can't tell, or you see nothing, there's nothing going on, but this is important. And again, you're not just putting on trades when you see relative volume, right? You can put on trades when there's nothing going on, if it corresponds with an area where there was a lot of relative volume, right? So, one of my favorite trades is in stocks is when it like gaps down and then makes it back above VWAP and then holds VWAP, right? So, you can see here, it's holding VWAP, this is the two-minute chart, this is the five-minute chart, 30 minutes is important except to see the gap down. But, so you can see, so you gotta be careful as well though, because again, my same hypothesis that I use in those other, those futures trades where you see these big bars moving down and you see this heavy volume, there were buyers there, obviously, right? Or the sellers couldn't have sold. So, buyers got their heads ripped off, the sellers were the initiators. So, there's a lot of guys that are underwater here, so, you know, again, I go over all this stuff in my mentoring, but you gotta be careful with this type of trade when you see this heavy volume, right? When it gets above VWAP. But anyway, so, if you're just looking at a chart, yeah, you could be by VWAP, and again, you're probably gonna be 50% right of the time. Why is this a legitimate trade when you go to the actual volume? So, this was the move up. Yeah, so this was the move up above VWAP and as it comes, so I don't just buy it as it breaks through VWAP, I wait till it comes back to VWAP and I wanna see how it reacts at VWAP. So, this was that, I'm not sure here in a second, that was the move up and then it started this little tail and then it started to come back, which is this, right? So, this is the tail and now it starts to come back. So, now, I'm interested in VWAP only when I start to see big orders come in at VWAP. Again, why do I wanna buy a line VWAP in this case? Why do I wanna buy there if no one else is participating there, right? So, not only do I wanna see the rest of the equity, now my ears are pricked, I'm like, okay, this is gonna be a great area potentially. I'm gonna wanna put a trade on here because I have the confluence of VWAP. Now, I see the liquidity come in, the huge, you could see it right here in the book, 20,000 shares, 21,000 shares. You can pretty much rest assured this is real volume because it's been in there, as it started to come down, they put it in, right? And then they left it in. That is a very good sign. You wanna see this if you're leaning on areas, you don't wanna see put it in pull because when it comes down there, now all of a sudden there's an air pocket and it goes right through it, right? So in my mind, this is legitimate order. So, I actually jumped the gun here and I bought a little early. It didn't matter because I had my stop under here but I could have got better pricing. I mean, I did on half of it but I bought half of the position. I just was so giddy when I saw this. I got in again, I'm just like a lot of most traders that I make the same idiot mistakes instead of being patient, right? So, you can see it came down here. This is when I started to get a little nervous where I saw this huge mugga. So you can see what's so great about Bookmap 2 is it makes everything relative, right? So the minute this is what these bubbles look like before that, right? Now look what these bubbles turned into the minute this huge cell came in. They all turned into like these little tiny bubbles because it's all relative to what just happened here. So now I'm like, hmm, this might not be good but I'm like, they still have to break through this 20,000 contracts. This was obviously the 20,000. It obviously stayed in. Someone obviously sold 20,000 contracts. That's fine. Do you have another 20,000 you wanna sell? It's not, I'm gonna win this trade, right? So you can see it come down, test it, bounces off, test it again, test it again. The thing is, look at the selling difference. One, two, this is getting heavier. They're putting in more orders as it's selling into it. That is a great sign the minute you see the buying. So I actually added when I saw that again because I had a much better price too. So I added right in here. Now I'm risking 30 cents. My stop was right around here because again, if they blow through it like they did here and then I'm wrong, you're gonna be wrong but because you can't predict the future but the point is the odds are so stacked in your favor here to not only be right, you're risking 30 cents to possibly catch it up to this liquidity level, right? And that was my goal. That was my first goal is here to see how it reacted. Any questions on that so far? Just, let's see, yeah, a few questions here. Why would some big seller at the 20 or 220, 150 level? Why would some big seller see at, why would you see them at, I guess, that I don't really understand the question there, Matt, or this you ask it again here. Well, yeah, Matt, they will be looking at maybe their order book or their dome or their level two but see how like looking at book map here. Well, I'll let Scott answer but there's so many nuances to look at here in book map and in the heat map that is not only the current book but the historical book. So I don't know if you wanted to explain and go through that again, Scott, like what you saw in the relationship of the volume and the liquidity at that level? That's the question, it's like a, so. Okay, just answer that though, Dan. Yeah, you did. I mean, they took out this liquidity here but now they have to take out this liquidity as well for me to be wrong, right? There's even some more right here. So, granted, I'm not leaning on this. They're gonna get through this like they did here, I'm out right here, right? So again, this is what really transacted and it was real and they kept it in and they hammered it. And again, once they sold this it made all these other bubbles so small that shows you how much selling really occurred. I'm not gonna lie, I was nervous right here. I'm like, hmm, well, if they took that out they can easily take this out. When I felt better was one bounce, came back again, came back again into it and then this is one of my favorite setups is when they add liquidity, they're like bring it, I got some more for you, right? That's how you gotta think about markets. One's that makes it more fun it makes it more realistic of what's really happening, right? So it was like, okay, here, you wanna sell so much here, there's 20,000 I'm gonna add some more into, right? And that's why it got more red. And once I saw, again, this could have just ripped through but it didn't, the minute I saw the buy and come in I got long, more. I was already long here from a bad price because I got giddy as it came down here because I saw both of these, but I also knew I didn't lose on it. I just had a worse price because I knew it had to break through both of these high liquidities for me to be wrong. So again, I got long here and now I'm targeting here. Look, there's nothing in the book. I mean, this is a little, this is tiny. If I'm right and these guys, now again, you're the guy, whoever you said it was, Matt, Matt, pretend this is you, you just sold 20,000 contracts. And now you see it come down here and there's another, you gotta remember too, guys trading stocks, they're using level two. A lot of times all these prices are not on the level two, right? You have penny increments. So no one even sees this, there's another 20,000 here on the level two till like it's down to this price. This is another huge advantage. You can see all, this certainly isn't this 23. That's not showing on level two until it gets up here. That's an advantage that you have that these guys trading off level two do not until it gets down to this. So pretend you're this 20,000 lot trader here that you sold, you hammered it, you're like, yeah, I got him, comes back down. Now you see another 20,000, you're like, oh shit, now what am I gonna do, right? Now it starts to rip in your face. Now what are you gonna do? If you're this trader, are you gonna just say, well, I hope it comes back? No, you're gonna peel out of it. That's the whole idea. Now you have fuel to help on top of the buyers that get in the VWAP players. Again, you have confluence. There's multiple things you can add to a trade. More variables you add to a trade, the better you're gonna be as far as being right, percentage-wise. And variables, I mean variables like real-time volume, not adding a bunch of lines to your chart that you confuse yourself, right? So I had the variables of VWAP. I had the variables of the resting orders. I had the variables of the seller, big seller, no seller, all right? You add all those together, you have a great risk reward trader. I was risking 30 cents on this trade. And I doubled up. I bought here on the way down. I think I bought right here actually. I thought I was right on top of it. I bought right here because I saw this. So I was risking 60 cents on this trade and then I added for 30 cents, risking 30 cents, right? Because I knew if I was right on it, it's going to minimum here. Again, and this is another thing Bruce teaches, if you listen to his daily webinars, real-time that are more than helpful that the markets usually tend to trade to liquidity, right? And it makes sense. If you're a big, big fund, you're not going to chase. You're going to blow the book out. You'll be chasing prices for $5. You want to try to push gently into your orders and make people sell into your resting orders and then you're ready to go, right? So it's like the market tend, as you can see here, the market moved to liquidity. The market's going to move to this liquidity is my goal in my thinking if I'm right on this trade. So hopefully that clarified that. Yeah, definitely. I mean, just a couple of other nuances in that chart for Matt is, look, the first level traded, like you said, no question, the next level, they're not trading into it twice and the third time they trade into it, they look at the volume that traded into it, like compared to what was there before at the higher level. It's tiny. And it's completely, completely absorbed. It does not trade through that liquidity. It's absorbed and they added. And they added. Look at that. Yeah, so it's a, yeah, it's a really, it's a night, it's a beautiful setup. So anyway, yeah, I think we flogged that one to death. Right, so, and I'm going to show you, like, you know, I'm also not perfect in my exits, right? So here we go, this is where I bought earlier. Yeah, this is it here. So anyway, so as it came up here, yeah, because this is where the liquidity put in is 221.30. So then this was my first, this is my first target, right? So again, just because it gets here, doesn't mean you're going to get out. You want to see a reason in the volume, because a lot of times it'll just, you'll see a huge blue bubble right through, right through, right through, right? You don't want to get out. You don't get out just because you made five times your money or four times your money or whatever. Make the volume show you, just like you get in, make the volume show you a reason to get in. This is a reason to get out, in my opinion, right? So I got out of half right here because I saw this, and then I started to see this and like, and this also kind of refreshed the same reason I got in here. So again, I'm not mad at myself that I got out at this point because it gave me a reason. I would have been mad at myself if this move was in the darkness and I got out, I'd be very mad at myself. And that's what I tried to condition myself not to do, because so many traders do that because they're so giddy, they caught a winning trade, they just won, they're looking at their P&L and they want to book a profit and oh, this is gonna be awesome, I can pay my rent this month and they're just getting out for no reason, right? That's gonna kill you as a trader too because you do it enough, you're gonna cost yourself tens of thousands of dollars. So my point is this, I had a reason to get out of some here because they tried to buy it through, rejected, I sold some here, okay, nothing wrong with that. I still had a little bit, it came back here again, now here's the bigger buyers, look at the difference. I'm thinking yeah, okay, for the remaining half I have, I'm golden, well, and behold, they put in more liquidity, so I got out of some more. So I wanna show you here, I got out of some more just because there's a reason, I'm not just panicking out because I'm afraid or I wanna make money, I had a reason to get out, okay? Sometimes it's gonna turn around and keep going, but you can't be mad at yourself, that's trading and you followed your rules, that's the point. Okay, so this is one I got out, so you could see they bought huge, bought huge, and then I see this, I'm like, oh, damn it. Oh no, I'm sorry, I take that back, take that back. This was, actually I was not even into this at this point, this was what I was talking about here, right here, and then they had this, I ended up getting out, I think I actually had a quarter left here, I got out a quarter here because at this point I'm like, come back and stop me out with a quarter, I'm gonna see if this thing could get through here because the buyers were engaging, right? So I didn't wanna just puke it all out, I puked out three quarters of it, I still was mad, especially when it did that, but whatever, I had a little piece left and then it came back and I saw this again and once again, it's the same thing, huge buyers, they put in more liquidity, I sold the last quarter I had when it started to sell off and I'm thinking, here we go again, now it's probably gonna go to 25 and then actually that was it, right? So it did get back above there, so I'm stewing again, right? But again, you gotta be okay, you gotta be okay with why I had a reason to get out. I mean, I made a very nice profit on this trade and I had a reason to get out, yeah, of course, human nature, you're gonna be mad when it starts to this, but guess what? I saw this big selling, that's where I got out and then it comes up here, it didn't even get to this liquidity. So even if I would have held half through all of this, even if I was psychic, because that's what you have to be to hold through this or just have a conviction that it's absolutely going here, otherwise you're going to be getting out something here because you can't follow your rules one time and then ignore them the next time, right? So that's why you can't be mad at yourself. But the point is, even if I did hold all this, as it came back down through this whole area, I would have been out right here anyway, right? So that's the point, it's like, you gotta move on too, it's like I have a very bad habit of sitting there and thinking about what could have been instead of just saying, okay, big deal, because the thing is, so I wasted all this energy being pissed off, I didn't hold it to another 60 cents, then I actually would have, if I would have been in the whole thing, I would have been out right here anyway, at the same price because it fell through where this tried to get through earlier, and it did, and that failed, I would have been out at the same price. The point is, get out, you said you followed your rules, you made a profit, move on to the next trade. So hopefully I make sense here as far as also like, I'm not some trader, right? It's like, and the volume's not always gonna be perfect, even though this is really nice, you've gotta just follow your rules and live with it and move on, that's what successful traders do, right? Poor traders are the ones that stew all day, I should have had this, I could have done this, you followed your rules, follow the same rules for getting in and getting out, don't change them, and you will be a successful trader if you're employing now, what do you say? Great, great, I mean, great stuff. I mean, that's such an important point, to hear from you trading such size and with such experience, like the same kinds of things that we all feel and you still feel it, but you move on and you deal with it. Right, and just know, again, now I look back at this a day later, this was just all wasted emotional energy that I put into this thing because I was mad, I wasn't catching another 60 cents to a dollar, I mean, it's just silly, I had a reason to get out, move on, again, you can get back in, right? I don't like this trade, but technically you could have got back in here when you see this big seller spale and then it goes back up, yeah, you could have got in right here, but then again, you would add a loser, right? So, you know, I like to take my trade, take my profit, this is a very good trade, you know, it was $3 trade almost, yeah, a little less than $3, but the point is, you've got to live with it, have your rules and you can turn the page and out right onto the next trade because when you have stocks in your arsenal, as well as futures, there's a trade right around the corner probably within seconds. Okay, so this was the move back down, right? So, I actually ended up losing here again and so Bruce, what do you see here? I just want to get your opinion on this, see if I have it, again, I, so when this came back down here, again, I had to re-insert all my charts in the last second today, so I don't have the book map, but there was a rest in liquidity there, so I got long right here as it came right here and then it blew through it, you know, and I got stopped out and then look, I was gonna go, I didn't re-engage or anything, but I did re-engage, there was a ton of liquidity right here and I'll show you the after effect, but what do you see here, Bruce, that you didn't see here when I got long the first time at VWAP? Well, you don't see the big buying coming in. Well, that, well, yeah, but you didn't really see it here as well, but I'm saying, do you see anything in chart wise? What looks different from this VWAP versus right here? What does the market do? Well, it went through it. It went through it and it balanced below it and I was blind to it because I was just convinced it was going back up, I was stewing that I didn't catch my full trade, right, again, I'm just like every other trader, so this was that area where it came into it, it came right here, so this is exactly how I got long the first time, right, but the problem was this now, this liquidity area, this was below the VWAP, that was the difference in my mind, right? You've gotta come up with reasons why you could have been wrong, and in my mind, I was wrong here because the difference between this look, this was right at VWAP, this one balanced below VWAP, so now you're gonna have all the guys, again, you gotta think like other traders do, the guys that are caught, they're like, okay, wait, this is not getting above VWAP, so you have more better chance of this being wrong because it's under here, not that it can't move back up, the point is, in my mind, that's why I was wrong, even though the volume looked kinda like it did the first time I got long, the difference was this was now below VWAP and I'm not even supposed to put this trade on, my trade is at VWAP, it's not below VWAP, again, I'm making stakes too, I was, this is why this program sometimes can get you in trouble because it's so great, then I started ignoring my basic rules like being above VWAP and I got in and I lost, but the point is, okay, so I lost here, where can I reengage, right? So as it came down here, I mean, I missed this one too because I got stopped out, I'm like, screw it, but it came back down here, but if you were adding one above being long, look at the difference between this selling, this selling, and then what happened here? Look at that little bread dot, right? You got this, you can buy when you see blue, it's gone, and it went back to the highs of the day, right? So the point is, a lot of this is kind of an art, I don't like to use art on my trading, but the point is if you wanna get long, say you do lose here, and you want another area to get long, and actually this was high relative volume that came in that tried to push it down, so that could have been a reason where you, then you saw the volume again like I just showed, then you can get long, just something influence-wise, the point is I did not get long, but if you wanna get long, book map, again, if you're looking just at a chart, where are you getting long here? Why are you getting long? Just because, just because you feel like you're lucky, when you look at book map, there's another reason, there's a reason to get long, right here, right here, right? Again, I didn't take this trade, but I'm just showing you that if you're looking for more reasons to get in, there it is, right? So then again, this went even higher than it did the first time, so you can imagine how pissed I was the rest of the day, but whatever. Right, right, but it does fit into, I mean, even the candlestick charts and your strategies, I mean, it's still all there, although it went down below it, and then you see the liquidity there, you see the relative volume start to come in on the buy side, and not only will it come back up, and it traded up through the VWAP, now look for maybe a pullback to it again. Right, exactly, and that's what I should do, that's what my rules are, and I broke my rules, so again, you gotta have rules, you gotta stick with them, and you gotta do the same thing every time. So I just wanted to end the webinar here, and I wanna show, I don't even know, especially people that don't have book map, how incredible this program is, and how much education you can get from just replaying, this is at full speed, 128, this is what we were just looking at, Lulu, so I want you to watch this, and you tell me if you watch this enough, and you watch these replay these every day, four or five stocks every day, the futures every day, you replay it in this manner, you're going to start seeing a lot more of the patterns or the volume patterns exactly what happens at these, right, so just this is for people that don't know this exists on this program, this is probably one of the most credible things that they have, again instead of sitting there like I did for four years, watching every tick come through the market for seven hours a day, eight hours a day, you can speed it up and you can get the same education in minutes, right, for six, condense six, seven hours in the five minutes, so I just wanna show this and maybe point some stuff out, but so I mean, it's just really cool to see how this thing reacts at liquidity, oh, blew through, blew through, let's see if I can pull this up here, right? This is really such a powerful feature, and I know a lot of guys aren't using it, we had a trader yesterday, Jean-Marc, he used to do it. I just see here, like, okay, here's my pattern, liquidity came in, I saw some buy, I'm gonna get in, came again, tried again, they tried again, got through that one, let's see what happens at 220, got through that one, again, but you're seeing the actual transactions hit the market, and that's why it's pushing through, right? Right, that looks pretty good, yeah, this is looking good now, yeah. And then look at the liquidity come back in now, right? And now this is kinda, see, it kinda bounces, I don't know if this is the V-web trade, now the V-web trade that I took as a little later, but the point is you can speed up what's really happening in such a condensed timeframe where you can really start to learn how these markets trade near liquidity, right? And you do this for futures, you do it for stocks, you're just, I mean, we're already at eight o'clock my time, that's nine o'clock central, it's like, you're just condemning everything, you're getting so much education by watching this order flow. Yeah, we make this kind of analogy, like how the poker players, all the young guys, they've played years and decades of hands because they can play video poker, and get the experience that would take years by playing out actual hands. I mean, you just saw that bounce off liquidity three times and then boom, that was when I got long. And then you get to see it, how it traded real time into this liquidity above where I kinda panicked out. Right, so my first one was 23, right? But again, you're gonna get moves, counter moves, don't let it scare you out unless there's a, like, you know what I'm saying? There's no reason to get out until you see something at liquidity, right? So yeah, if you wanna get in, actually, I think this was the trade, I'm sorry. This was the VWAP trade that I took. And then this is where I started to panic, I panicked out a little bit here and I got up there. But this is just great to watch just to see how these markets work at liquidity and how certain stocks work at liquidity. You know, Lululemon might have its own tendencies, right? You say, hey, I'm gonna be a Lululemon expert. Doesn't mean you trade it every day, right? But when there's news in it, then you know how this thing trades, how it reacts to liquidity. Roku is a similar one where I know they turn off, look at all these algos that have been turned off, right? And I know Lululemon respects liquidity, Roku respects liquidity. It's good to know that about certain stocks. Doesn't mean you trade them every day again. But when they're in the news, you trade them. So I think this is where I bought again, even though this was below VWAP. I think that was good to go. It's just so incredible to go back and replay this. And then again, you can turn this on, you know, and this is just incredible. You know, I could put the straight a thousand lot, see if I can catch it for real this time, even though I didn't know what happened. And there is no excuse not to be a efficient trader, a profitable trader if you have this kind of information, real-time information, you have this replayability where you can actually put on trades and see how you would have done, you know, it's mind-blowing to me. Like I have not been this excited since I made 10 million bucks in 2003 for the next year. I've not been this excited. Wow. All right, so I'm in, let's see. It's about a thousand, hopefully it works out for me. So again, this is where I got stopped out real-time when I really traded and this was below VWAP. A little bit longer than until it's over, but it's just, again, now why are you getting out here? If you're long, there's nothing here yet. I mean, this is relatively, this is not heavy volume. I mean, this is some volume, you can see it reacting, but I mean, I'm not getting out. I'm trying for the heaviest level. Now that I know I'm right, let's see if we can get there, all right? Are you ready to dump this? Okay, there's some heavy sign, but I still don't see it, you know, decent liquidity, let's see if we can get up there. Two o'clock's market close of 14 for me. All right, so I mean, this is good to see too. Like look at all the selling compared to the buying, right? It's like, how much more do I want to, I mean, they're just hammering, look at the buying. There's four buy bubbles, there's like 20 sell bubbles, huge sell bubbles, see if they win. The point is, real-time, like if I was really trading, I would have been happy to get out right there. They're still hammering this. I don't know what it did today, but I wish I could bring it up, but they were definitely hammering it into the close. Mark the close there, yeah. But you just saw that, you know, I just watched an entire day, I put on a pre, I don't wanna say pretend trade, but it's, you know, I traded just like, I mean, you don't have to keep it at 128 times regular speed either, right? You can slow it down when it gets into your area, slow it down normal time, put on a trade in practice. Like there's nothing better out there. I mean, I will go toe-to-toe with any trader that tells me there is, because this is amazing. One, what it tells you real-time, two, how you can enhance your trading and practice and get better and be a proficient trader. That's all I got. Any, I can answer some questions now. Okay. I apologize for the beginning, too. Again, I messed up my charts and lost them all. No worries, no worries. I will edit this video here, so we'll get just to the good stuff. Rhonda, I put the links back into the chat. You should see it in the chat there if you wanna reach out and contact Scott. You've got his website, his email, his Twitter, and then- Switch back if you want, Bruce. You wanna switch back quickly? Yeah, yeah, I can do that, so hold on a minute. I don't need to do anything, do I? No, no, I'll grab it. Okay. So yeah, here's his contact information as well as I put it into the chat there for you. So you guys have it. There's some questions. The website, just quickly, the website's brand new. I literally built it with my partner, Nick Bernali, just in the last couple of weeks, just because I've had so much, I've had so much response to my webinars asking for mentoring and group coaching, things like that. So the one-on-one is obviously more because we're working one-on-one, but then we've added in a group feature where we're taking five at a time, five traders at a time where it's more affordable for the smaller trader. And then we're gonna also have individual setups you can purchase that I like, that Nick like. Nick is an expert in NASDAQ and cryptocurrencies as well as some of the really detailed stuff in book maps. So he's a great resource as well. So he'll be on some of these webinars. Yeah, so that, I mean, again, this was all in response to the response I got for mentoring and stuff. So it's exciting. And again, I love to teach because the more I teach, the more I learn as well. So again, especially with book map, because I'm so new to it, I've only been using it five, six months. The more I do it, the more I see, oh, yeah, well, yeah, I shouldn't have taken this or should have seen this. So it's great. I love teaching as well. And I love fighting back against the machines. That's my favorite thing because the machines blew me out the first time. I will do anything I can to help traders compete. Yeah, yeah, no, it's a good point there. Let's see, there are some questions here about, well, it's a really appreciation here for you, Scott. That's lots of nice comments here. Let's see. Yeah, in terms of data provider, John is DX feed for stocks and he's using Rhythmic for futures. And what was it? The, like about scanning for the stocks or biases for the day. You know, what, how do you deal with that? Yeah, so I, like I said earlier, I mean, I'm SMB, I have a membership through them where they have stocks of the day. They have stocks in play every day. They do a morning meeting. Steve Spencer is probably the most informed, educated guru in stocks I've ever seen. I mean, the guy is just unbelievable, but they have a thing, it's pricey, but you can get, you know, the stocks in play and you can learn their setups and you can learn how they trade stocks. Again, they don't use book map. So I've kind of, obviously I've taken what I've learned from them and I've enhanced it times of the hundred with book map. And that's what all traders should do with anything that they're using. You know, it doesn't mean you leave what you're doing or ignore what makes sense to you. You just use book map to make it better, right? So you're not a 50-50 trader. So now you go to a 70-80% trader, whatever it is. But back to the original question, SMB, I think it's smbtrading.com, you can go to them and they're a great resource to learn stocks. But if you're just gonna do it on your own, all you gotta do is go to one of these, you know, stock websites that put up free real-time data, right? So you wanna be paying attention to stocks that are in the news that day, they call it in play. So earnings, CEOs leaving, things like that, just regular news, possible buyout, you know, biotechs, they're introducing new drugs, things like that, you can find, that's readily available on the internet. I mean, you can just type in real-time stock news and find out. You go to the other thing I recommend is FINVIZ, F-I-N-V-I-Z. You can type in the stock ticker and then you can see on there what the relative volume is for the day. It gives you a ratio. Obviously you wanna be trading things over one, preferably over two, three, four. That just means that's just the relative volume. Like I was showing in the charts that I look at, it's just showing you the relative volume is one, if it's a two, it means it's twice as much that day. It's 100% more that day, but 2.5, then it means it's 250% more volume. You're gonna see some of these stocks, you're gonna see 100 times more volume. But the point is those are the stocks you wanna participate in because when you see the huge volume like that, that means there's big funds in there participating and that means these algorithms are for the most part turned off, which is what you want as a retail trader. You do not wanna be competing against algorithms. Take it from me, unless you wanna go broke. Right, right, excellent. I think that's everything. We've got it all squared away here. Thanks so much, Scott. I mean, really great information here. Like I said, a guy's I'll have, it's gonna take me a little longer today to get this recording up. I need to go back and edit it, et cetera. So bear with me on that. Probably by this evening we'll have it up. But one more time I'll put into the chat here Scott's information, if you want to contact him. Other than that, really thank you very much, Scott. A pleasure, really great stuff here and can't wait to have you again. Yeah, thanks for having me, Bruce. I hope I made some sense to some traders and just have a memory, remember, keep it simple and if you're gonna trade, you need to be using book map if you wanna be on a level playing field. Because if you're not, you're missing the most important piece of information in trading in my opinion. Yeah, making us blush again. Yeah, thanks, Scott. Thanks, have a good weekend, everybody and we will catch up another time. Thanks, Bruce, appreciate it. Okay, all right, bye-bye.
