1:20All right. What's the deal?
1:25Let's see.
1:45All right. So, today we're going to be
1:47trading some NASDAQ futures, maybe some
1:50gold, but
1:52I'm going to have to see.
1:56We're going to try and not
2:00destroy my account today. Honestly, it's
2:03Friday. There's literally nothing worse
2:07than uh
2:09destroying an account heading into the
2:11weekend. So,
2:14that is going to be goal number one is
2:18to just keep the account.
2:20I think it's our second day on this
2:22funded account. And then I'm also going
2:23to be trading um
2:27probably this Eval later today to try
2:31and pass it with Alpha Futures.
2:35So, we'll see how that goes. But I'm
2:37going to start the morning off trading
2:39um the top step because
2:44it's more important to me right now
2:46because it's a funded account.
2:51What I'm looking at though is uh
2:57one second.
3:23All right, let's see if you can see the
3:25screen. All right, so we got Trading
3:27View right here. On the left side of my
3:29screen is my footprint charts. This is
3:32like uh orderflow.
3:35It's really what I use mainly when I'm
3:38looking for entries, but I always mark
3:40up my Trading View chart, which is
3:42what's here on uh on the right.
3:47But what I've been looking at is on a
3:49higher time frame.
3:54So if we were to look at like the hourly
3:55right
3:58right around here around this uh 880 900
4:02level I've been waiting for us to break
4:05past this although we've been kind of
4:07consolidating
4:09for
4:11almost the entire month so far. So,
4:13we're like 12 days into the month
4:16and um realistically when we were kind
4:20of stairstepping our way up here, I was
4:22expecting price to come down into the
4:26500 to 400 area before it continues up.
4:30So, then we ended up kind of making that
4:32move yesterday. Um and I thought we were
4:34actually going to take it towards the
4:35end of the day with what was happening
4:37in the last hour, but we ended up
4:41gapping down. So,
4:43I mean,
4:46I'm still bullish. So, basically, I'm
4:49still I still believe that we go higher.
4:52Although, I am prepared for that to
4:54change. If it just so happens that we
4:57start dumping, then I'll be prepared for
4:59it. So on the lower time frames,
5:05five and the 15,
5:11the main target I'm going to be looking
5:12at today
5:14is for us really to go higher to start
5:17filling some of this gap. Now, we may
5:20fill the entire gap. We may not fill
5:24the Well, we may we may not fill the
5:26entire gap. It may just be like 50% or
5:28we may just blast through it. But
5:34we are pre-market right now. It's about
5:3620 minutes until open. So
5:42going to try and see if we can find
5:45something to
5:48take for us to go higher and uh target
5:51up there. Could be a good move. Could be
5:54100 points if we get the right entry.
5:57Even if it's 20 points, 15 points,
5:59doesn't matter.
6:02I need to honestly lock lock in the uh
6:06five days for this funded account. So,
6:08I'm going to be trading MNQ probably
6:11going like five micros depending on what
6:14the volatility is looking like.
7:38And I guess actually I'm going to
7:39explain what it is I'm looking at on my
7:41footprint. chart like what is this
7:43right? Cuz maybe people don't really
7:45trade footprint
7:47or they might look at my chart and say
7:49like what the [ __ ] is going on? So um
7:54basically what I'm looking at here is
7:56I'm looking at fiveminute candles. So
7:57these are just like your normal you know
8:00five minute candlesticks.
8:02Red is a bearish candle, blue is a
8:04bullish candle obviously and then on the
8:07right side here this is basically like
8:09the dom. So these are resting orders and
8:13it has kind of like a heat map here. If
8:15you were to actually zoom in on these,
8:17you can see the numbers of how many
8:18orders on MNQ are actually sitting here.
8:21And again, these are resting orders. So
8:23they get added, they get removed um kind
8:26of throughout the day. But I do like to
8:28look at it where orders are resting. So
8:31you know, you might have a lot of orders
8:32right here or orders right here. But
8:34again, they don't need to stay there.
8:37They can disappear at any time.
8:40But I like to use those as targets
8:43sometimes,
8:45kind of like a magnet where price is
8:46attracted to. But um
8:50when we actually look at the candles,
8:52the first thing you might notice is that
8:53there's like a blue cloud inside of my
8:56candles and there's a yellow box. So
8:59inside of these fiveminute candles, what
9:01I'm actually looking at is um
9:04volume. So I'm trying to see where the
9:06volume is for the fiveminute candle
9:08because it's essentially telling me like
9:12where activity was happening within that
9:14fivem minute candle. So the more vibrant
9:17the blue is means that there's more
9:19volume. And then you can also see it's
9:21basically looks like a uh volume profile
9:24because that's what it is. And on the
9:26inside of the candle, well actually
9:29first this uh yellow box right here is
9:33the PC or the point of control of the
9:35individual candle itself. So it's
9:38basically like where the most volume was
9:44on the fiveminute candle at the exact
9:46level.
9:49And that's really important because you
9:50want to see, you know, whether or not
9:54>> because just because just because you
9:56might see like a bullish candle um or a
10:00bearish candle, like a red or green
10:01candle on your chart, it doesn't
10:02necessarily mean that it was like a
10:04strong candle in either direction.
10:06[music] So using volume kind of lets you
10:09know a little bit of
10:14how true that momentum is, right? And
10:18then the second thing that I'm looking
10:19at is inside the candle. You you might
10:21notice there's numbers. So what this is
10:24is like it's the bid and the ask. So on
10:27the left side is the bid, right side is
10:29the ask.
10:31Ask the bid and the ask. If you don't
10:33know what that is,
10:35is like um the bid is if you were to
10:39place like a limit order for you to buy,
10:41you're placing a bid. If you're placing
10:42a limit order to sell, you're placing an
10:44ask. And um
10:48these numbers are orders that were
10:49executed at market basically. So
10:51aggressive orders. These these are not
10:53resting orders. This is showing what
10:55actually happened
10:58in this 5minute candle.
11:06Is it possible to see in a toss where
11:08the PC is for both bid and ask and not
11:10total volume?
11:15possible.
11:16So, what do you mean? Because um
11:21the PC like
11:24if we're looking at let's let's take
11:26this candle for example, right? Like if
11:28we're looking at this candle where this
11:30yellow box is, this is the PC for both
11:32bid and ask. Um
11:40Oh, without using the footprint.
11:43Do you mean like if you were to be uh
11:46zoomed out like this whether or not you
11:48can see the PC?
11:50Oh, just so it marks it. You know,
11:51that's actually a good question because
11:55I usually don't even look at the normal
11:59candlesticks like this because I have
12:01like my Trading View chart. But um there
12:05probably is an indicator in a task that
12:10would probably do that. But what I
12:12usually do is I just zoom in just enough
12:14like this where I don't necessarily have
12:17to be zoomed in all the way, but I can
12:20just see kind of
12:23where it is and it kind of marks it. But
12:35oh, are you talking about individually
12:38like uh you want to see on the left side
12:42where the most bids were and then on the
12:44right side where the most ask was. So
12:46then there's almost like two PC's per
12:48candle.
12:59because I don't know how to do that.
13:00I've never Oh, gotcha. Yeah. I mean,
13:02I've never um I've never done that. But
13:06if you were to go into a task, right,
13:08and we can look at some chart [music]
13:10settings.
13:12If you were to go into like the cluster
13:14settings, right now I have it as bid and
13:17ask and um the mode is volume profile.
13:21But if you change it to like bid and ask
13:23ladder, then what happens is you start
13:27to see the PC just for one side, but it
13:32doesn't show both of them, right?
13:33Because the PC
13:35ideally the idea or like realistically
13:37the idea is that it's trying to show you
13:40the most amount of orders just for the
13:42candle itself. See how there's two PC's
13:45right here? That's because those numbers
13:46are actually equal. So
13:50now they're not. So it's not uh it's not
13:52the same anymore. But there are ways to
13:55make it show only one side of the bid or
13:59ask where the PC was like uh had more
14:03whether it was buyers or sellers. But I
14:06don't know how to make it so that it's
14:08like both of them. You know what I mean?
14:13But I'm sure there there might be a way
14:15to do it, but I've never heard of it.
14:28Uh, so it's it's actually not like an
14:30indicator.
14:32Um, it's a cluster setting. So
14:36you wouldn't necessarily be able to add
14:39it twice because like let's say an
14:41indicator if you were to go in a task
14:43and like create an indicator or use an
14:45indicator like the ones that I have
14:47right here. Um this is not where you do
14:50the PC because the PC
14:53is coming from essentially the cluster
14:56itself or the the chart or like the
14:59footprint candles, right? So,
15:02it's kind of like what you might be able
15:05to do is you might be able to open up
15:07two charts on the same time frame and
15:11then adjust the cluster settings so that
15:13you have like two side by side charts
15:15that are showing different things for
15:17the PC.
15:19Um,
15:22that might be the only way that I could
15:24think of it honestly.
15:26So you might just need two charts
15:28because you wouldn't be able to add like
15:30a
15:32cluster setting twice to the same chart
15:34because it's just like that's basically
15:36the same as like the chart settings
15:40explain my trading model. So, basically,
15:45lock what I what I'm looking for when it
15:49comes to
15:51like day trading is
15:56when I'm trading the NASDAQ,
15:57realistically, I'm only trading market
15:59open until
16:02an hour to an hour and 30 minutes into
16:05market open. And what I'm looking at
16:08specifically is I'm realistically
16:10looking at what happened with the
16:12sessions. So I want to see so this blue
16:15box right is Asia session and then the
16:18red box is London session and then now
16:20we are creating New York. So, typically
16:23what I'm looking for is
16:26um I'm looking for us to kind of target
16:30highs like uh highs or lows basically
16:33like market structure, right?
16:36Well, actually, let me back up for a
16:38second. So, the first thing that I do
16:40every morning when I wake up, right,
16:44is I go to the daily time frame
16:47and I'm trying to see kind of what's
16:49going on. Now, realistically,
16:52what I'm thinking right now is we've
16:54been pushing up.
16:56We are going to eventually break this uh
16:5925,900
17:01level and then potentially move to
17:04all-time high. Now, whether that's going
17:06to happen like this week or next week or
17:09before the end of the year, I don't
17:11know. But, um ultimately, we're still
17:14bullish. Like, this is not on a higher
17:16on a higher time frame. This is still
17:19bullish. It's bullish until we start
17:21getting down here in my opinion. So I go
17:25to the daily and then I look at the 4
17:26hour.
17:28The 4our
17:30consolidation when we were kind of
17:33stairstepping our way up here um in the
17:36beginning of the month, I knew that we
17:39were kind of stalling out up here and I
17:41wanted to see us drop down first, take
17:44out some of these lows here before we
17:45make the move up. And I thought that
17:47that was what was going to happen
17:48yesterday. So I actually ended up taking
17:52a long position right here at like 414.
17:55I posted on my short [music] and I was
17:57trying to target all the way up here for
17:59like 270 points or something and it went
18:03like 200 points and then came back and
18:06hit me out for like 100 points cuz I tr
18:08my stop. So, but basically
18:11to answer your question, it's more so
18:13like I'm looking for where do I think
18:15price is going? Okay. Well, I think
18:17price is going higher
18:19personally. So then when we drop down to
18:22a lower time frame, I look at like the
18:2415 and the five. If price is going
18:26higher, if I think price is going to go
18:28higher,
18:30I'm trying to find a way to enter into a
18:34position to go higher. Now, ultimately,
18:37you know, if you were to be looking to
18:39go long, you might be targeting target
18:41targeting like uh these highs. You might
18:44be going for the gap fill. You might be
18:45going for that 900 level. Although, if
18:48we do go up there today, that would be
18:49like a [ __ ] insane move. So,
18:52realistically, it's I don't really think
18:54it's going to happen today. But
18:57once I get an idea of where I want the
18:58direction to go, then what I'm looking
19:01at is
19:03I'm looking at the shortest or the
19:05nearest target for longs. So in this
19:09case, it would be like London highs,
19:10Asia highs. So like
19:14right now for market open, what I'd be
19:17wanting to see is maybe targeting here.
19:20right now. There is a potential we can
19:23go lower, but
19:26I do think that we're probably going to
19:27go higher. We may we may manipulate
19:29lower first and then go higher. That's
19:31always a possibility. So, you got to
19:33keep it in mind. That's why you don't
19:35really want to trade like right when the
19:38market opens cuz like sometimes there's
19:40just like nasty volatility. But once I
19:43have an idea of where I want it to go,
19:45then I start looking at footprint and I
19:47start looking at
19:50how I can enter into a trade. Right?
19:53So basically when it comes to what I'm
19:56looking for on footprint for my actual
19:58like entry model for
20:02you know taking a trade
20:06is um
20:09first things first is like you want to
20:11see where resting orders are sitting
20:13right and they're usually sitting around
20:15to be honest they're usually sitting
20:17around like psychological numbers or
20:19like round numbers right so like 25,500
20:2200 25,550.
20:24There were orders here at 25,600.
20:27Every 50 points or so, you're going to
20:30see orders sitting there. Now, that
20:32doesn't mean
20:34um that you want to target those or wait
20:36till those get taken out or whatever cuz
20:39you know, sometimes these orders just
20:40get removed. But I do like to understand
20:42where they are when I'm [music] looking
20:45to trade, right? Because sometimes when
20:47you have big orders resting or like a
20:50lot of orders resting at a certain
20:51level, um price could be attracted to
20:54that. Like sometimes you hear um people
20:57talk about like
21:00liquidity or oh I wait for liquidity
21:02gets swept or but they're just talking
21:04about like uh highs or lows like
21:09I guess it's like what ICT traders do
21:12but realistically there's liquidity
21:14sitting all without within the market.
21:16Like this is all liquidity right here.
21:17Like there's liquidity here. There's
21:19liquidity here here. So price obviously
21:23needs to
21:25move to where orders can get filled.
21:28It's like kind of how the market
21:30functions, right? So then what I need to
21:33do is I think we're going to go higher.
21:36So I need to find an entry where
21:40I see buyers stepping in on the
21:42footprint chart and I see order flow
21:45basically showing me that it's bullish
21:48so that I can try and take it higher.
21:49Now, there's a couple different actual
21:51like specific entry models that I have
21:53and eventually I'll probably make videos
21:55on it. I don't want to kind of get into
21:58it right now just because I am about to
22:00try and trade. But um you can see when
22:06buyers are stepping stepping in or
22:08sellers are stepping in and I use big
22:10trade indicators to let me know like uh
22:14the intention of the market because
22:17sometimes this is like a lot of noise,
22:19right? Like uh the market kind of just
22:22moves back and forth especially before
22:25open.
22:26But
22:28I want to see like cuz what you're going
22:30to see today if you're watching if you
22:32continue watching the stream is like
22:34we're going to open up right in about 5
22:36minutes. And what's going to happen is
22:38you're going to start seeing volume pick
22:40up pretty crazy and you're going to
22:42start seeing these candles kind of
22:43whiplash around.
22:45And then what you're going to see is
22:47you're going to see a move in one
22:49direction. You're you're either going to
22:50see a lot of sellers or big sell orders
22:54try and push price lower. And then once
22:56that happens, I'm looking to see whether
22:58or not they can continue with that
23:01selling pressure and [music]
23:04basically keep the momentum or if that's
23:06going to die out and essentially get
23:08absorbed, right, [music] by buyers. And
23:11when that happens, like let's say you
23:13have a lot of sellers trying to push
23:16price down and they're just running into
23:18a wall of buyers and they fail to push
23:21price lower. And if the buyers take over
23:24and there's more buyers, then what ends
23:25up happening is when price comes back
23:28up, everyone who was trying to go short,
23:31they're going to have to get out of
23:32their position. And if you were in a
23:34sell, the only way to get out of your
23:36position is to buy, right? And so it
23:38essentially adds to um the pressure, the
23:41buying pressure. So
23:45to give you the game plan of what I'm
23:46going to do, I'm looking for longs. We
23:49may manipulate lower right now and take
23:52out these lows. I'm not gonna try and
23:54trade that. I'm going to be looking for
23:57a potential long position, but I do I
24:00will understand if we do get too low
24:02like
24:04if we start plummeting today and I don't
24:08see like any type of buying pressure or
24:13buying coming in, then obviously I'm
24:16going to understand we're not going
24:17higher today. And then I'm going to
24:19start looking for shorts and may even
24:21just try and scalp some low hanging
24:22fruit. But what I need to wait for is
24:25the market to open right now and I need
24:28to see a catalyst. A catalyst is
24:30essentially a very aggressive attempt to
24:33move price. And
24:36it's either going to be to the upside or
24:38the downside. And once it happens, I see
24:40how price reacts after that catalyst
24:43happens essentially. And then I make a
24:45trade decision off of it. Sometimes I
24:47wait for and I'll explain it if I take a
24:50trade. I'll explain what I'm actually
24:51looking at.
24:53That's a very long winded version. It
24:57may have been confusing, my bad, of how
24:59I uh day trade every morning, but I'm
25:03really only looking for like one or two
25:05trades in the morning.
25:08And I'm just waiting for market open. I
25:11have an idea of where I think price
25:13should be going on a higher time frame.
25:16I understand that there could be
25:18manipulation in the opposite direction.
25:21So when the market opens, I wait to see
25:24where price goes, what the order flow
25:27actually looks like, how aggressive that
25:29pressure is,
25:32and then I try and take a trade with I
25:35try and go with the the pressure
25:39obviously
25:40because
25:42if we're just plummeting and there's
25:44like huge sell orders coming in and then
25:45you're over here thinking like, oh, we
25:47took a low, I'm going to buy it. Oh,
25:49there's so much aggressive like uh
25:53selling pressure.
25:55There's no reason to like jump in front
25:57of that, right? Or like let's say on
25:59those days where we're kind of like uh
26:02grinding up slowly and then you keep
26:04having these traders who blow their
26:06accounts because they keep trying to
26:07call the top. It's like sometimes
26:09though, why are you trying to short it?
26:12Like it's obviously showing you that
26:14there's no selling pressure, right? So
26:16you're trying to uh identify where the
26:19pressure is pushing it.
26:22So right now we're about to open up
26:25basically in the middle of this range
26:26about 50% from the low to the high. So
26:30what's probably going to happen is we're
26:33probably going to see price
26:36either open up wick down and just pump
26:40or we're going to see it just dump.
26:43Obviously, it's it can only go two ways,
26:45right? So, we're gonna wait to see what
26:47happens. We're gonna wait to see what
26:50the order flow is telling us. And I'll
26:51kind of explain it as I'm watching it.
26:54And yeah, try and take a trade.
27:02>> Also, by the way,
27:05this is not financial advice. Don't take
27:07my trades because if I blow my accounts,
27:10I could live with that. I don't want you
27:11guys to blow your accounts.
27:32So, right now we just took uh these
27:35lows, right? So now what we're looking
27:36for is we're going to see whether or not
27:38the selling pressure can actually
27:39continue and maybe even target this 500
27:42level or if
27:45that was the manipulation down before we
27:47start making our move back up. So we got
27:49to see kind of what happens in this
27:525minute candle. There is it didn't have
27:55a wick. So eventually this is probably
27:57going to come back up and make a wick to
27:58the upside. But what I'm going to be
28:01watching for is where this PC
28:04of this candle. And there we go. So
28:07that's a big sell order. So like now
28:10that this sell order came in, that was
28:12like 700 contracts on MNQ, which is a
28:15decent amount. We need to see what
28:17happens because
28:20>> that might have been an exhaustion move.
28:22Meaning that they try to push price
28:24right there and it's not happening and
28:25now they're covering their uh their
28:27shorts and this is about to just like
28:29propel up. But we need to see. So
28:33they're stepping again. So you got to
28:35wait. You got to wait. Still like the
28:38first minute of open.
28:42But what we're seeing is like obviously
28:45sellers are trying to push price lower.
28:46Now, are they going to succeed or are
28:48they going to fail? If they fail, then
28:50we're going to go long. If they're going
28:52to succeed, then we're going to wait.
28:54So,
28:56>> just got to be patient.
29:19So they just did it again. So like this
29:22when I see this happening right now, I'm
29:24thinking to myself like I probably don't
29:27want to buy this right now. I have to
29:29wait. I have to wait to see because
29:33aggressive selling pressure is
29:35happening. Buyers are kind of making it
29:37stall out right here. But eventually
29:38this is going to give in either
29:41direction.
29:43Either the sellers are going to stop
29:44aggressively pushing price
29:47and it's going to allow the buyers to
29:48just
29:50basically slingshot this [ __ ] back up or
29:53the buyers are going to give up and
29:54we're just going to start melting. So we
29:57got to just kind of wait a second.
29:59[snorts]
30:29But I think the game plan for today is
30:33if I and have a successful trade. I do
30:36have some meetings later for like my
30:38work stuff. So, if I can get a
30:41successful trade and
30:43lock in a winning day for the top step
30:46account, I may or may not, depending on
30:49price action, take a trade on my alpha
30:52futures evaluation
30:55and then if all goes well, I'll probably
30:57just be done in like two trades. on the
31:00other side. If I
31:03I think I'm willing to lose like 500
31:05bucks today on this funded account.
31:10Oh, I actually have a [ __ ] uh
31:15I have this account that I [music] need
31:16to pass, which I'll probably do that.
31:20I'll probably full port I'll probably
31:22fullport it later with like three or
31:24five minis.
31:27All right. So,
31:29we're starting to see um
31:32price come back up. Something I also
31:34look for um is you might notice that
31:37like within my candle there's like
31:40numbers that are in bold, you might see
31:42them pop up right here. Like if we start
31:44pushing up pretty aggressively, you
31:45start seeing these numbers. And
31:47essentially what that is is it's an
31:49imbalance.
31:50Meaning that there's more buyers than
31:52sellers if it's on the right side. And
31:53if it's on the left side, there's more
31:54sellers than buyers. and my settings are
31:57like a 400% or like four times as many
32:00than the counterparty. But
32:04still like we don't want to buy this
32:06right now.
32:08You could try to, but I don't want to.
32:12It may very well just pump,
32:17but this looks pretty sketchy because
32:19every single time we get up here, we
32:20just have big orders. big orders,
32:26but they may be getting trapped.
32:29And if they are and we start pumping,
32:32we're going to pump pretty hard and
32:34pretty fast.
33:27And again
33:30if you weren't here. I do think price is
33:33going to go higher overall.
33:37But I need to find like a
33:41I need to find an entry where my stop
33:43loss is not going to be like
33:4850 points.
33:50So,
33:53we're going to see what happens. But
33:57it looks like
33:59unless we get a big selling order that
34:02pushes price back down, it looks like we
34:04may be popping up right now to go take
34:05the highs, take London, take Asia, and
34:08start heading towards the gap that got
34:11created yesterday.
34:42kind of tempted to full port my Evo
34:44right now and go long.
34:58pink.
35:18Like a
35:29But yeah, if you guys ever have any
35:30questions about what I'm looking at,
35:31just ask me. Or if you see something on
35:34my chart, you want to know what it is,
35:36I'll explain it.
35:41I may or may not
35:45try and
35:47full port this evaluation right now to
35:50try and pass it. I may blow it, but it's
35:52okay if I blow it.
36:08So, we got about 50 seconds left in this
36:10fiveminute candle.
36:12I'm looking to see where the PC closes
36:14in relation to uh the close of the fivem
36:18minute. I don't want it to be above the
36:21actual close of the candle.
36:27What I may do is if this fiveminute
36:30candle closes before it takes these
36:32highs, I may wait for the next
36:34fiveminute candle to come down into this
36:37area, create the wick to the downside,
36:39and then I'm probably going to try and
36:41full full port this eval. It's a it's
36:44not really a good trade idea. That's why
36:46I'm not going to take it on my funded,
36:47but I do need to pass an eval. So,
36:59We're going to try and uh potentially
37:01force something.
37:04No.
37:19What up, EA guy?
37:56All right, I think I'm going to go long
38:00on this Evo. I'm going to risk $1,000. I
38:03got to wait a second.
38:08Do not if you're watching this. Okay,
38:10good. [music] Okay, good. Thank god I
38:12waited for that.
38:14Oh, good thing I waited for that.
38:21That would have been that would have
38:23been hilarious, dude. I would have
38:24entered that trade and it would have
38:25been [ __ ] gone in like uh it would
38:29have been gone in a second, dude. I
38:31wouldn't even have had time to put my uh
38:34brackets.
38:38That would have been disgusting.
38:40Thank god I waited.
38:43All right, now we have to really wait
38:45because this just looks like a mess
38:46right now.
38:49Damn. Anybody who was going long, anyone
38:51who went long down here to try to try
38:53and target these highs, I'm sorry,
38:56brother. You just got
38:59That was disgusting.
39:02What was that? That was like
39:0650 points.
39:17They almost got me, but they didn't get
39:19me. So, we're good.
39:31[snorts]
39:39All right. So,
39:42I still want to see price go higher, but
39:45with
39:47aggressive sellers continuously pushing
39:49this down, I have to wait
39:53cuz that was nasty.
39:56And I want to see how this uh
39:59how this 15 minutes going to close,
40:01right? Because if we actually come down
40:05and it starts to close and flip bearish,
40:09I'm gonna have to wait and potentially
40:10not even take longs and start looking
40:12for
40:14like a short. But
41:25All right. So, we're pushing lower. The
41:2715-minute is flipping um
41:31flipping bearish. We're about to close
41:33in 30 seconds on that, too.
41:39That was pretty nasty, honestly.
41:52All
42:08right.
42:15I'm not going to look for any buys right
42:18now.
42:22Not until we
42:26I'm not going to look for any buys until
42:27we get past this [ __ ] right here.
42:31Once we get up here, I'm not going to
42:34consider buying it until we do that.
42:39So now if I want to chase and full port
42:43my Eval,
42:48>> maybe we try and chase it short.
42:51>> No, I'm just joking. We're going to
42:52wait.
42:57>> If price does come back up, this was a
42:59pretty nasty move. So what I would be
43:01expecting at this point is if this is
43:04true intention here, realistically, this
43:06should be defended. So, we could come
43:08back up here to retest this before
43:10actually going down further.
43:12And if that happens, I may like it might
43:16be doing right now. I may
43:19take three minutes short on uh this EVO.
43:22But this could be the beginning.
43:27We could be watching the beginning of a
43:29very disgusting chop.
43:33But it's just an EVO.
43:49Yeah, three minis on a Eval just so I
43:51could try and pass it,
43:54but I want to wait.
43:58I got to cuz I can only risk like $1,000
44:01so I can give myself two shots. There.
44:04There it goes.
44:43All right, this is going to go lower.
44:46I think it's going to go lower.
44:50>> Order filled.
44:55Oh, I need to change my settings on this
45:03dollar
45:05save.
45:09All right, moving to break even. We just
45:11went $1,000 in profit on that.
45:16I needed to go down here 508. Start
45:19heading towards these orders.
45:24And hopefully we can pass this. It's a
45:26no activation
45:27uh top step account.
45:30I just need to see it snap down right
45:33now. Uh we're almost
45:36>> filled.
45:37>> All right, cool. [music]
45:39So,
45:43I'm going to We're done with that one.
45:46So, at the end of the day, if we don't
45:49take a trade on the funded, at least we
45:51just got another funded account.
45:54So, uh,
45:57that was kind of a shitty trade, though.
45:59I'm not going to lie. Basically full
46:01ported that, but
46:03it's all right.
46:08[snorts]
46:32So, at this point, just to kind of tell
46:35you what I'm thinking right now, at this
46:36point,
46:38let me change my screen.
46:43We're pushing lower. And if you were to
46:46look at kind of what's happening right
46:47here,
46:50we're having a lot of selling pressure
46:52go lower. It's still going lower. It
46:54we're going to go past this [ __ ] We're
46:56going to continue down. So before I
46:58consider taking like any type of long
47:01position, realistically
47:04there needs to be like some type of
47:06significant
47:07indication that the selling pressure
47:11is
47:13getting held at a certain level cuz
47:15until then like all of this [ __ ] could
47:18just be the retracement before we just
47:20dump harder again.
47:24So although
47:27Although this morning I did want to see
47:29it go higher. We're going lower right
47:30now and so I'm the longs are off the
47:33table until we're like way back up
47:36there.
47:38Unless you want to try and catch the
47:40bottom of this, but that's how I blow a
47:43lot of my accounts. So, I don't think
47:44we're going to do that today.
47:50Let's see if it respects this area.
47:59Like this area right here.
48:18And the reason why I marked this out, by
48:20the way, just in case you're wondering,
48:23is because this is where a lot of
48:25selling pressure was. We have a stacked
48:27imbalance here. We had a major uh sell
48:30order come in, the largest one of the
48:32morning, I think.
48:35No, this was the largest one. So, second
48:38largest one of the morning. So
48:41realistically, if the sellers want to
48:43continue to push price lower, I would
48:45expect them to
48:47defend this right here and have this 5m
48:49minute candle come up here, maybe test
48:52it and then flip back down. If we start
48:54pushing higher right here, past it,
48:58then there's a potential that we may
49:00just be in a choppy range today for a
49:05little bit, at least for the time that I
49:07usually trade. And if that's the case,
49:10then we don't have to trade the funded
49:12today. It's a successful day. We didn't
49:16lose an account yet.
49:22So, we wait.
49:25Does look pretty nasty though.
50:04Man, there's probably a lot of people
50:06getting
50:07smoked right now.
50:10People who went long right here to try
50:12and target
50:14>> higher.
50:24How far did that just retrace back?
50:2860 points.
50:31It's disgusting.
50:40>> [music]
50:54>> I won't be convinced on any type of
50:56longs until until we start getting past
50:59this area.
51:05And I don't really want to try and go
51:07short again
51:09because my overall bias is that we were
51:11going to go higher.
51:16Although
51:18unless I see something that tells me to
51:19go short, then I'm obviously going to go
51:20short. [music] But
51:23I would realistically want to see this
51:25go higher. It'd be a better trade to
51:27hold. You could hold it longer, I think.
52:34Yeah,
52:36we just got to sit and wait.
52:40Also, if anyone here plays Clash of
52:42Clans, join my clan.
53:13Yesterday's price action was actually
53:16really nice in my opinion.
53:20So
53:27hopefully
53:28we don't do this all morning, but
53:33there's a pretty good chance we kind of
53:34do this all morning.
53:39And I think I'll give it about
53:4430 minutes to an hour maybe.
53:51And if I don't see anything and we just
53:53continue to mess around in this like
53:57opening range or whatever,
54:01I'll probably just go
54:04do something else honestly.
54:16But
54:18we passed it so we're good. So it wasn't
54:21a waste of time today.
54:24And then also
54:26also
54:30I should probably trade this eval too,
54:32but we already traded one eval today. So
54:34I got to focus on the funded. Although I
54:37did Okay, I have this funded account. I
54:40took a massive L on it because I was
54:42trying to
54:44I was trying to trade silver. Honestly,
54:46if you guys don't know, like if you
54:47never trade silver before, it's like $25
54:50a tick with a mini.
54:52And yesterday I went two minis on the
54:55funded account trying to take a long on
54:57silver. And I was right. I mean, the
54:59market was going to go up and it did go
55:01up, but I was wrong because obviously I
55:04sized way too heavy. I lost like $2,000
55:07on this account yesterday. So, this
55:11one's not in very good uh shape. But
55:14this morning before I started streaming,
55:17I actually went long um
55:21right here to target these highs.
55:26And so, this one's up $700. So, this is
55:28a funded account, but it's down bad.
55:32It's pretty down bad. So, we're not
55:34going to touch that anymore. Actually,
55:35I'm actually going to walk out of this
55:36one.
55:47And also, I'm probably never going to
55:49trade silver again on a funded account.
55:52I will trade it on eval because you
55:55could full port super easily to pass the
55:58eval on that, but funded accounts maybe
56:02not.
56:27Has anybody traded this realistically?
56:31Anyone watching this? Does anyone
56:32actually
56:34guys in a trade? You taking a trade
56:39in this
56:41opening range that we're in right now.
56:48Wonder if like on the one minute
56:51if there was anything
56:54people who trade the one minute
57:21So, a new 4 hour candle open right now
57:23at 7 a.m. So, new 15, new 1 hour, new 4
57:27hour, new 5 minute. Um,
57:31we opened up and we're just pushing down
57:33right now, but
57:36we may pop back up right now.
57:38>> [clears throat]
57:40>> We may pop back up and go into the range
57:42or we may just dump. I think I might go
57:46to this Evo.
58:05You are
58:15you are
59:08So, I'm not seeing anything right now
59:10that I'd even want to put my money on.
59:16So, not going to force anything. I'm
59:19just going to sit here.
59:21Just going to sit here and wait for
59:23something to happen.
59:54All
1:00:08right.
1:00:32H wonder if we dump another 100 points.
1:00:39>> Buyers were never able to get past this
1:00:41area.
1:00:44>> Look at all these sell orders right
1:00:46here.
1:00:47>> We snap right back up to where the sell
1:00:49orders were. We're coming back down
1:00:51again.
1:01:07You are
1:01:13you are
1:01:18you are
1:01:46Oh yeah.
1:01:54You are.
1:02:12All right, let me see.
1:02:17Let me go back over to top step.
1:02:20I may try and take a continuation lower.
1:02:24on my funded account. I want to see it
1:02:27come up here into this area
1:02:31and then I might
1:02:34try and take a continuation short.
1:02:47I'm going to have to wait to see what
1:02:49happens.
1:03:01Just going to go.
1:03:08You know what? Today may not be the day
1:03:10for the fun.
1:03:54All right, I'm going to go short five
1:03:55micro.
1:03:56Order filled
1:04:01>> and I'm going to risk
1:04:04less than 100 ticks.
1:04:07I would like to see this uh flush lower
1:04:09to maybe 450.
1:04:13Once it does get to 450, um our full TP
1:04:17is going to actually be around 400
1:04:21probably. But once it does get to 450,
1:04:24if it can actually continue lower right
1:04:26now,
1:04:27um, we want to see price and sellers
1:04:30aggressively push this lower. I may
1:04:32actually just target like, I don't know,
1:04:36400 because 400 is where we put in the
1:04:39relative equal lows,
1:04:42but it's also where we keep bouncing
1:04:44too. So the moment we take uh 450, I am
1:04:48going to be moving my stop to break
1:04:50even.
1:04:59>> [snorts]
1:05:09>> All right, moving my stop to break even.
1:05:15Put a little bit in profit to cover any
1:05:17fees just in case.
1:05:20and let's see if we can get a flush.
1:05:23Although it may snap back and take me
1:05:25out, but I would rather
1:05:29I'd rather uh get taken out, break even
1:05:31and get taken out for a loss after it's
1:05:33making a move like this.
1:05:43All right, what I'm actually going to do
1:05:44right now is I'm going to scale out
1:05:48>> order filled. So, we got our $200 on the
1:05:50day. It'll count. We're going to let the
1:05:52rest ride
1:05:54to 400.
1:05:57I could have held it because this is
1:05:58like really intense selling pressure,
1:06:00but
1:06:02I need to lock in the
1:06:05the five winning days.
1:06:08This would be day three. So,
1:06:19Oh, that's beautiful.
1:06:21Take the lows, please.
1:06:27Got order sitting at 400. It would be a
1:06:32300 tick trade or 313 tick trade.
1:06:49I just don't want to. So, like what I
1:06:50want to see right now in 10 seconds when
1:06:53this next candle opens up is
1:06:56I don't want to see this snap back all
1:06:58the way to the PSC of this candle, which
1:07:00it might do, but I'm looking for it to
1:07:03Oh, here it goes. I'm looking for it to
1:07:06flush right here. Just Actually,
1:07:27where is the PC
1:07:3168?
1:07:40It may very well just snap back and not
1:07:42take the lows, which would be crazy, but
1:07:45I wouldn't be surprised.
1:07:50We'll be up 250 on the day. But like
1:07:54look at this.
1:07:58Low low.
1:08:01I would want to see these get taken out.
1:08:03Probably everyone right now is trying to
1:08:04see this get taken out. It'd be pretty
1:08:06funny if it didn't just snap back on
1:08:09everybody. That's why I need to scale
1:08:12some out because um
1:08:17I know that [ __ ] like this can happen,
1:08:18right?
1:08:21So at least we lock in at least we lock
1:08:24in our $200 day.
1:08:27Otherwise, if we just ran that entire
1:08:29thing, got that close to my TP and then
1:08:31snap back to my break even, I would be
1:08:33very sad and I pulled nothing out of it,
1:08:36I'd be pretty sad.
1:08:48So, it came back up to the PC of the
1:08:51previous candle.
1:08:53Retested this little stacked imbalance
1:08:55right here. Let's see if it can flip red
1:08:57in the next three minutes. Unlikely,
1:09:00honestly, at this point, it's pretty
1:09:02unlikely, but
1:09:04it's possible.
1:09:29Sit down.
1:09:52Yeah, this is going to take me out.
1:09:56It was a good attempt.
1:09:58It was a good attempt.
1:10:02Like 75 points. We were going for it.
1:10:06went like
1:10:0865 points in profit before it just
1:10:10[ __ ] snap back.
1:10:42but yeah, just a
1:10:44recap of why I actually took that trade,
1:10:46by the way. So, when I said I wanted to
1:10:49see price come back up and retest this
1:10:52area, it did. And then I noticed that we
1:10:56were uh
1:10:58flipping lower. So I thought we were
1:11:00gonna actually flush.
1:11:02If we ended up, if this fivem minutee
1:11:04candle were to have like pumped past
1:11:05this area, I would have imagined that we
1:11:07go we just snap right back into the
1:11:09range um this morning, but we didn't. So
1:11:12once it started flipping red, I went
1:11:13short because I was anticipating it to
1:11:15flush lower.
1:11:18And I wanted to target the lows, which
1:11:20it may or may not still go, but
1:11:24it may or may not still go to the lows,
1:11:27but
1:11:30we just got to let it ride.
1:11:34What up, Mike? What up, Wood?
1:11:42So, right now, this is going to be the
1:11:44only trade I actually take on the this
1:11:47funded account today. So, we're either
1:11:49going to end the day up $250 or we're
1:11:52going to end the day up $550.
1:11:56Either order is fine. This is a good
1:11:58close though for the five minute. So,
1:11:59realistically, our stop loss is up here.
1:12:02What this might do is either flush here,
1:12:04come back to the PC, and then flush. But
1:12:08this is not a very um
1:12:11this is a good sign for our position.
1:12:13But it may still take us out. But it's
1:12:15just looks a little better. It looks a
1:12:18little better than it did like 5 seconds
1:12:20ago.
1:12:36But yeah, if anyone in here is not in uh
1:12:40our Discord, it's a free Discord. We
1:12:42don't sell anything. You guys should
1:12:44join it. Sometimes we give away free
1:12:46alpha futures accounts. So,
1:12:49it's a great community. A lot of cool
1:12:52people in there. A lot of stuff to learn
1:12:53from bunch of different traders.
1:12:56So, links in the description if you guys
1:12:58want to join.
1:13:01Yeah, never flat. And then also, um,
1:13:05here we go. We're getting the flush
1:13:06right now. We're going to take the lows.
1:13:11Hopefully, this doesn't just snap back
1:13:13right now.
1:13:15383. No, I mean, yeah, it might, but I
1:13:20see what you're looking at.
1:13:22Probably will, honestly.
1:13:27But
1:13:33I'll be fine with 550 on the day.
1:13:38That's disgusting, dude.
1:13:44Just go.
1:13:48Oh, yeah. But what I was going to say is
1:13:49sometimes we give away uh free alpha
1:13:51futures accounts.
1:13:54So, if you guys want to win like 50k
1:13:56zero evals from Alpha Futures,
1:13:59we do those giveaways in the Discord
1:14:01sometimes.
1:14:06Yeah, let's get some likes. I really
1:14:09don't care. Honestly, what I want is for
1:14:11us to go to 400
1:14:14and take the orders out right there.
1:14:21Yeah, you can win me if you want.
1:14:55What's the 15 looking like
1:15:02I think what I'm going to do is
1:15:06just cuz this is like Oh, that was
1:15:08nasty.
1:15:10So, it's retesting the PC right now.
1:15:12What we don't want to see is for this to
1:15:14you're going to see like this the sign
1:15:17of death for this position right now is
1:15:20if you see a stacked imbalance run right
1:15:22past this PC and then we're for sure
1:15:24going to hit our stop loss.
1:15:31So as long as that doesn't happen we
1:15:33should be fine.
1:15:35But once this 15m minute gets past the
1:15:38previous 15-minute close. So, like if we
1:15:40get past right here, I am going to move
1:15:42my stop loss to the top of the current
1:15:4415-minute candle,
1:15:46>> cuz I think it'd be like a $100 or
1:15:48something.
1:15:58Actually,
1:16:09you know what I'm going to do?
1:16:12Because it's stalling right here. If it
1:16:14flushes, I think it's going to flush
1:16:16kind of hard for like it's going to wick
1:16:18past it. So, I'm going to put a partial.
1:16:21I'm going to take one contract out
1:16:25at 400.
1:16:29And then at the other low, the uh
1:16:32the second low at 380, I'm going to put
1:16:36my other see if I could squeeze out
1:16:38another
1:16:4140 bucks.
1:16:54So then I'd be like
1:16:56almost 600 on the day if both of those
1:16:58hit, which would be nice.
1:17:01I'd be okay with that.
1:17:11What up futures trader?
1:17:24How many ticks would that be?
1:17:31Basically like 400 like 100 points.
1:18:16Oh [ __ ] This is too much to the left.
1:18:20There you go.
1:18:22All right. So, what we want to see right
1:18:24now is for this to just flush. So, I am
1:18:27going to be moving my uh stop loss to
1:18:30the top of this 15-minute candle.
1:18:34Let's see if it could take 400. Good
1:18:36selling pressure now.
1:18:37>> Order filled.
1:18:38>> First contract got taken out. We're up
1:18:41400 on the day. We're going to see if uh
1:18:43we can get down to 380.
1:18:52What I want to see is for this selling
1:18:54pressure to continue. I mean, we're
1:18:56almost there.
1:18:58Um
1:19:00but if we
1:19:02if we snap back right now and these
1:19:05sellers can't continue lower then
1:19:10you know just to make round numbers
1:19:11we'll move [music] this to uh
1:19:14be a 450 on the day that's fine.
1:19:24So,
1:19:26let's see if we can get our 100 100
1:19:27points here on this short
1:19:31or if we're just going to I mean,
1:19:34realistically, it's one micro at this
1:19:36point. It's going to be the difference
1:19:37of like $200 on the P&L. So, it's not a
1:19:41huge deal. We still need five days on
1:19:44this account anyways. So, this is the
1:19:47third day, I think.
1:19:51Yeah, third day. So next week if we have
1:19:54a couple good days, maybe we pull a
1:19:57payout,
1:20:00maybe maybe we full port it,
1:20:03maybe.
1:20:06But the good thing is that we did pass
1:20:07that eval today. So
1:20:10maybe we can fullport that account.
1:20:14Something's going to get fullported
1:20:16eventually.
1:20:30Yeah. So, this is kind of like a weak uh
1:20:34this is kind of weak. I need to see this
1:20:36like
1:20:38push harder. I need what
1:20:42what I don't want to see right now
1:20:45is for the PC of this candle to remain
1:20:48down here. and we [music] close
1:20:50somewhere up here. That's like uh
1:20:54not the best sign for our shorts.
1:20:55Honestly,
1:20:57it means that like sellers are getting
1:21:00exhausted on this um push down.
1:21:15All right, that's good.
1:21:18We just took uh New York lows from
1:21:21yesterday on NQ. We'll see if we could
1:21:25take previous daily lows from Asia right
1:21:28now.
1:21:33I think we just took the Let me
1:21:37Oh, we're about to We just took it right
1:21:38now. We took
1:21:40Let's see if we can get it.
1:21:43>> Order filled. Oh, $1 short from 600. All
1:21:48right. Anyways, that was about like a
1:21:51400 tick trade
1:21:54with five micros, but I scaled like
1:21:58three of the micros out.
1:22:04Anyways,
1:22:05I think I'm going to be done for the
1:22:07day. That was a pretty good day. It's a
1:22:08Friday.
1:22:11Time to enjoy the weekend.
1:22:14So again, just a recap of today. We made
1:22:19600 on the funded account. We passed an
1:22:21evaluation account with top step. We
1:22:23went like we full ported basically three
1:22:25minis on a on a scalp short and then um
1:22:30uh what's it called? We didn't take any
1:22:33trades on this account, but that's okay.
1:22:35We're going to start focusing on the
1:22:37alpha futures accounts, too. But
1:22:40today is just not the day to do it in my
1:22:43opinion.
1:22:45And then um
1:22:48this account I I really messed it up
1:22:50like yesterday. Like I mentioned
1:22:51earlier, I tried to go two minis on
1:22:55silver and got absolutely violated. So
1:22:58we lost like $2,000 on this account
1:23:00yesterday, but I took a long pre-market
1:23:03before I started streaming on this
1:23:04funded account with Alpha. And um we
1:23:08made like 700. So I'm going to climb out
1:23:11of the hole here. I'm going to make a
1:23:13comeback on this account
1:23:16and recover from my stupid silver
1:23:19trades. And [music]
1:23:20we've made the executive decision
1:23:24to not trade silver with minis,
1:23:27especially on a funded account. I might
1:23:30fullport some silver longs right now
1:23:32because it's ripping on an evaluation,
1:23:34but
1:23:36not on the funded.
1:23:38So yeah, that's it. Not a bad day. I'll
1:23:42catch you guys next time. Again, if you
1:23:44want to join our Discord, it's free. A
1:23:46lot of cool people in there. We give
1:23:47away accounts sometimes. So check the
1:23:50link in the description. And I'll be
1:23:52back on Monday.
1:23:55Peace.
