  1. 0:00hello i wanted to shoot this quick video
  2. 0:03a basic introductory lesson to murray
  3. 0:06math and to gan channels organ fans and
  4. 0:09how you can use more geometry to
  5. 0:11make yourself a better long-term
  6. 0:14investor and potentially a better trader
  7. 0:16so
  8. 0:17murray math is going to be divvied up
  9. 0:19into eight different fractals or eighths
  10. 0:22so murray math effectively states that
  11. 0:24the market is divvied up into eighths
  12. 0:26i'll remove this which is what's called
  13. 0:28a gan channel all these different kind
  14. 0:30of the peacock fan here so we'll remove
  15. 0:32that so we can better visualize this
  16. 0:35and all this says is this will identify
  17. 0:37for us
  18. 0:38in 1 8 moves of the market different
  19. 0:41points that we could expect to see
  20. 0:43reversals or pivots or
  21. 0:45imminent reversals etc so
  22. 0:48we'll start with the third eighth
  23. 0:49through the fifth eighth and price will
  24. 0:51operate about 40 percent of the time in
  25. 0:54the third through the fifth
  26. 0:56and just to note these are 60 based on
  27. 0:5864-day periods of time anywhere from 32
  28. 1:02to 64. days is when a
  29. 1:04murray math light would be fitted
  30. 1:07so
  31. 1:08we can see here and it's delineated for
  32. 1:09us ultimate resistance and ultimate
  33. 1:12support at zero and eight and then on
  34. 1:14either side we'll have negative degrees
  35. 1:16and positive degrees
  36. 1:18now
  37. 1:18one thing to note so this negative third
  38. 1:21degree
  39. 1:22or this negative
  40. 1:24eighth negative third eighth i should
  41. 1:25say
  42. 1:26this imminent bullish reversal the
  43. 1:28operative word here being imminent if
  44. 1:30price were to ever hit the negative
  45. 1:33third
  46. 1:34we will get an immediate bullish
  47. 1:35reversal and we saw this happen
  48. 1:38we saw this play out exactly as it did
  49. 1:40here so price wicks down almost touches
  50. 1:42this on the nose you can see this isn't
  51. 1:44actually even retrofitted to this line
  52. 1:46almost touches this on the nose before
  53. 1:49immediately gapping back up we get a
  54. 1:51reversal back inside of this range of
  55. 1:53this bodied candle and then price moves
  56. 1:55higher and continues to move higher all
  57. 1:58the way to the other end of all the way
  58. 1:59to the complete other end of the eighth
  59. 2:02right all the way up into the seventh
  60. 2:03eighth
  61. 2:04now on the opposite side positive third
  62. 2:06exact same thing eminent bearish
  63. 2:08reversal if price were to ever hit 3
  64. 2:10positive 3 8 we would get an immediate
  65. 2:13reversal to the downside
  66. 2:15now the same would not be true for like
  67. 2:17ultimate support or even oversold or
  68. 2:19extremely oversold conditions
  69. 2:22and actually you can see here we hit
  70. 2:24ultimate support
  71. 2:26which is supposed to be kind of our last
  72. 2:27level to fall
  73. 2:29and we didn't get an imminent bullish
  74. 2:32reversal again imminent is the key word
  75. 2:34here we did get a reversal but it wasn't
  76. 2:36imminent i mean we had probably 20 days
  77. 2:38worth of candles print here before we
  78. 2:40did finally get our reversal into this
  79. 2:42barrier excuse me into this bullish
  80. 2:44breakout
  81. 2:45however
  82. 2:46you know just note that just because
  83. 2:48price hits ultimate support does not
  84. 2:50mean that there will be an immediate
  85. 2:52reversal to the upside i just want to
  86. 2:54note that because if any of you option
  87. 2:56traders are out there who you know want
  88. 2:58to take some yolo calls based on murray
  89. 3:00math don't come back to me and say that
  90. 3:02oh sam said that 0 8 is the spot where i
  91. 3:04have to
  92. 3:05yolo my my calls on tesla or whatever
  93. 3:08you're buying so
  94. 3:09anyways
  95. 3:10um now one thing so this this other fan
  96. 3:13or this channel that i had pulled up
  97. 3:15murray math was
  98. 3:17designed to
  99. 3:18make it easier for the average investor
  100. 3:21to
  101. 3:22raid and to interpret so this other
  102. 3:24channel that i had pulled up is called a
  103. 3:26gan fan or a gan channel
  104. 3:28and okay let's set it right there so
  105. 3:30you'll see this also moves in eighth so
  106. 3:321 8 all the way down to 8 8 or 8
  107. 3:36or excuse me one
  108. 3:38and this is meant to identify what
  109. 3:40channel is the market moving in these
  110. 3:41are all supposed to be 45 degree angles
  111. 3:43of each other
  112. 3:45okay
  113. 3:46but again this is a little complicated
  114. 3:48and frankly hard to evaluate
  115. 3:51you know it's just very hard to
  116. 3:52visualize so these murray math lines
  117. 3:55really make it much cleaner much easier
  118. 3:57to interpret now
  119. 3:59for an actual day trader
  120. 4:01you may not find that much value in
  121. 4:03murray math i would suggest that you can
  122. 4:05use it to color certain biases you have
  123. 4:08so
  124. 4:10you know this is a perfect example right
  125. 4:12here we're supposed to be reversing off
  126. 4:14of the 1 8. we don't have to right it's
  127. 4:16not a hard and fast rule at 1 8 like it
  128. 4:18is at negative 3. but you know there's a
  129. 4:20very good probability that we do reverse
  130. 4:22this is a great
  131. 4:23spot to stop and reverse unless we have
  132. 4:25confluence that says otherwise
  133. 4:27now if i'm a trader and i recognize this
  134. 4:29and again this is a daily chart of
  135. 4:31bitcoin and i'm trading let's say a
  136. 4:32five-minute chart of bitcoin
  137. 4:34i can look at this and evaluate and say
  138. 4:36okay
  139. 4:37you know if i can get down into the if i
  140. 4:39see a right set up at about the 39 200
  141. 4:42mark
  142. 4:44on a five minute chart i'm going to go
  143. 4:45long expecting you know murray math to
  144. 4:47come into play a little bit we get a
  145. 4:49strong reversal up or maybe not even a
  146. 4:51strong reversal but just a good spot to
  147. 4:53stop and reverse
  148. 4:55now where this will be very valuable
  149. 4:57is to the long-term investor
  150. 4:59so
  151. 5:00i'm going to do another video and
  152. 5:01probably it deserves its whole own
  153. 5:03series on how to pick stocks how to
  154. 5:06discount cash flow how to create
  155. 5:07discounted cash flow models and things
  156. 5:09like that
  157. 5:10however
  158. 5:11this can become valuable upon just a
  159. 5:14cursory glance of any chart that you
  160. 5:16want
  161. 5:17to identify okay when should i try to
  162. 5:19scale in or when should i try to enter a
  163. 5:21position of this certain stock like
  164. 5:23let's say you really really like tesla
  165. 5:24stock and you've been wanting to scale
  166. 5:26in for a long time you could use murray
  167. 5:28math to just identify when the ideal
  168. 5:30time to open your position would be
  169. 5:33so
  170. 5:34obviously i don't want to scale in when
  171. 5:35we're at ultimate resistance i don't
  172. 5:37want to open a position at a at 7 8 at a
  173. 5:39weak stop and reverse point i'm
  174. 5:41certainly not wanting to get involved up
  175. 5:43here where we're extremely overbought
  176. 5:46and you know on the opposite obviously i
  177. 5:48want to get involved when we're at
  178. 5:49ultimate support or at imminent bullish
  179. 5:51reversal
  180. 5:52so
  181. 5:53just to quickly note anything below zero
  182. 5:56eighths is identified the only people
  183. 5:58that are selling in here are novice
  184. 6:00investors
  185. 6:02so these are people who
  186. 6:03[Music]
  187. 6:04you know basically get shaken out of
  188. 6:06their positions by larger investors
  189. 6:08frankly or whales as they're called so a
  190. 6:10whale will come in cause a big downward
  191. 6:13move like this novice investor sees it
  192. 6:15it's very scary and they decide okay
  193. 6:17right here one negative 1 8 i'm just
  194. 6:20done with this thing i'm going to get
  195. 6:21out i'm going to cut my losses this
  196. 6:22bitcoin thing's a scam whatever they
  197. 6:24tell themself right especially down here
  198. 6:27at negative 2 8 i'm done it's going to
  199. 6:29go lower it's going to go to zero et
  200. 6:31cetera
  201. 6:32and
  202. 6:33murray math is
  203. 6:34useful in that sense and that it almost
  204. 6:37perfectly identifies human behavior
  205. 6:39and that's important to us because a
  206. 6:41market is a relationship between buyers
  207. 6:43and sellers so it is predicated on human
  208. 6:45behavior
  209. 6:46however there is an element of math as
  210. 6:48we've noticed and really an element of
  211. 6:50nature
  212. 6:51that will even out and kind of evenly
  213. 6:53distribute our math but that's a subject
  214. 6:55for a different video
  215. 6:56anyways hopefully this is valuable for
  216. 6:58you if you guys have any questions on
  217. 7:00this
  218. 7:00this can be kind of a more complicated
  219. 7:02topic maybe it deserves a follow-up
  220. 7:04video to it but feel free to post a
  221. 7:06comment if you want to see anything else
  222. 7:08otherwise thanks for watching and
  223. 7:09hopefully you found this valuable
