0:37>> All right. So,
0:39>> [laughter]
0:41>> on stream on stream run a losing streak.
0:43So, I think uh
0:49All right. We're going to we're going to
0:51end end the losing streak on stream. I
0:53think honestly
0:56I think almost every day this week I
0:58lost on actually not every almost every
1:00day. Every single day this week Monday,
1:04Tuesday, Wednesday
1:06I ended up taking an L on stream and
1:08then
1:10later on
1:11during the day
1:13I made my profits.
1:16I I got to stop doing that.
1:20I mean, I don't really have a whole lot
1:21of control over it, but
1:25we could be a little bit more patient
1:26during
1:27the stream.
1:29Yesterday
1:31um
1:34I did end up taking shorts uh on this
1:36account. So, I got my funded account
1:38back from Alpha Futures.
1:41And I ended up taking shorts right here.
1:45It was like
1:46uh
1:53like 90 points with like seven micros.
1:58So, we're up 1,200 on this account.
2:00Today,
2:02I do need to focus on this funded
2:04account. I've been
2:05I got to stop messing around. I'm going
2:06to trade evals later on on my own time.
2:11I got a
2:12And also, it's probably not a good thing
2:13to trade evals during the stream anyways
2:16cuz sometimes I take aggressive trades.
2:19Trading evals.
2:20So,
2:22with that being said,
2:25we're going to focus on our funded
2:26account with Topstep
2:29cuz I need to build the balance on this.
2:32The balance is only like
2:34$200
2:35cuz I took a L that one day. Um
2:41where
2:43I got stopped out
2:45by a couple ticks for like
2:48500 and then I made some of it back. So,
2:51or I made it all back plus more. So, now
2:53it's uh
2:55So, they got a balance of 200. So, we
2:56got to build this one up. I got to focus
2:58on this.
3:03So, we're going to wait
3:05and trade it today.
3:08Probably leave the alpha account alone.
3:09Honestly, on the alpha account, um
3:14the max payout on this for the second
3:19the second withdrawal is 2250.
3:24So, I'm already there.
3:28So, I just need I'm going to just
3:29probably milk the other days
3:32to lock that in.
3:36So, we're going to leave it alone.
3:44Yeah, so I was um I was wa- I'm watching
3:47I was watching up here.
3:49I was considering taking a pre-market
3:51short, but I decided not to.
3:56But in the event that we do start
3:58rejecting off of this, I mean we could
4:00really make our way down.
4:03At least towards London lows and then
4:05potentially Asia lows.
4:15So the plan today is basically I'm
4:16watching up here, treating it kind of
4:18like a zone.
4:20Where I'm treating it as a zone.
4:25It just happened pre-market. We started
4:27reacting out of it.
4:33So I'd be looking for us, if we are
4:34going to drop to actually make our way
4:36towards 29,900 area.
4:51So we'll see what happens. I'm going to
4:53I've noticed that recently like
4:56at the open
4:59at least this week
5:01I've been getting wrecked and then like
5:02later on once it like
5:04stops chopping up around and then it
5:06actually starts going somewhere.
5:09I end up
5:11doing all right, so we'll probably
5:14be a little careful.
5:17Plus there's not really a balance on
5:18this account yet, so I got to
5:21probably use like three micros on this
5:2350K and try and
5:25add into a winning position.
5:28It's kind of the idea.
6:14>> So, we're going to wait for market open.
6:15Also, full transparency, I kind of
6:18[ __ ] up those Apex accounts.
6:21>> [laughter]
6:22>> So, we're going to we're going to we're
6:23going to chill on the copy trading.
6:25Going to go back to trading these
6:26accounts individually. I still have like
6:28a few funded like a handful of funded,
6:30but
6:31I don't think I'm going to copy trade
6:32them.
6:34We gave it a shot.
6:36Plus, Apex is like
6:40slight it's just slightly concerning.
6:44Apex slightly concerns me.
6:48I haven't really traded with them like
6:49that though. I I mean, I've purchased a
6:51couple evals here here there. I've had a
6:53few PA accounts with them, but
6:56I've actually never taken a payout from
6:58Apex.
7:01I've only traded them a couple times.
7:06And I'm usually copy trading them, so
7:08they they just like disappear
7:10if I've messed it up.
7:16After studying options flow for a couple
7:18of months, I think I've come to the
7:19humble conclusion of this value
7:23gex candlestick structure.
7:28What up, Gianni?
7:31Uh H V O for tanukis showing at 29,785.
7:37Also, where the put wall's at currently.
7:40And it's a pretty stacked level down
7:42there. We have a ton of open interest
7:44sitting around 29,900, 29,785
7:47area.
8:03Damn.
8:24So, today what I'm looking at is
8:27I know [clears throat] we had this
8:28really large move. Uh funny enough,
8:33yesterday I was watching it come towards
8:35uh where I had discount marked. And when
8:37we were down here, the put wall was
8:39actually sitting here as well.
8:40I was on the call I was on a call with
8:42somebody and I was telling them I was
8:45like, "If we close down here,
8:47if CME opens, I'm probably going to take
8:50it long uh and try and hold it
8:52overnight." And then I was saying that
8:55we could potentially start the move and
8:57then I'll just get into it as CME opens.
8:59But then
9:00just did the whole thing.
9:04So,
9:05kind of unfortunate, but
9:11shoulda coulda woulda.
9:19So, we'll see if we actually rotate
9:21lower and at least come back to
9:22rebalance some of it before we continue
9:24higher.
9:26Or if we're just going to continue the
9:27rip up.
9:29So, my eyes are set up here.
9:32We are watching this today.
9:35Unfortunately, we're already reacting
9:37out of it pre-market.
9:39So, there's a there's there's a pretty
9:41decent chance that we actually just open
9:43up and just
9:44at least immediately go take London
9:46lows. Or these lows, right?
9:50So, we will see.
9:53We will see.
9:57We do need to be careful about us
9:58potentially rotating around, though.
10:05Doing something like this.
10:10Got to be careful about that.
10:13>> [snorts]
10:15>> And 3 Q and the X call resistance
10:17sitting at 30,326.
10:26Yeah, basically the same.
10:29Mine's at 325.
10:38If we do push up into this again at the
10:41open and we start seeing um buyers
10:43struggle to get past it or we see
10:45failure,
10:47I might try and take uh
10:49take a short position, but I got to be
10:51careful.
10:53I um
10:55I'm determined to stop
10:57getting wrecked this week on stream.
11:01It's like my
11:02priority right now.
11:05Cuz I feel bad, dude.
11:09Feel guilty.
11:18All right. So, Giani says he feels long,
11:20so that means we're definitely dropping
11:21today. So,
11:24we're definitely not going up, then.
11:27If Giani says that he's thinks we're
11:29going up, then he is the indicator for
11:31the morning that we're going down.
11:42He he Gianni's my confirmation. He told
11:44me yesterday that he's been getting
11:46absolutely wrecked during New York.
11:49Perfect. He thinks we're going up.
11:53We're going down.
12:00I'm just messing with you, Gianni.
13:21All right. So, we will wait for the
13:24open. We'll see if there I mean, I would
13:26prefer to take shorts today, to be
13:28honest. I would prefer shorts.
13:31If it
13:33plays out.
13:47So, when we open up, we'll see what we
13:49do.
14:13>> Connection lost.
14:17>> Damn, what happened?
15:10All right, we got 20 seconds.
15:28>> Although today I did say I was going to
15:29be a little careful about the open cuz
15:31I've been smacked
15:32this week.
15:35But let's see what it does. I want to
15:36see if we're going to push up back
15:37towards this area
15:40and then have some failure.
15:49We're probably going to drop from here.
16:03I'm going to go three micros.
16:07We're going to go three micros.
16:10The moment we start taking lows
16:14we're going to um move it to break even.
16:49All right, I'm going to break even now.
16:51We're going to I'm going to hold this if
16:53I can.
16:55I'm going to try and take it all the way
16:57down to 29,900
17:00if we're going to run it.
17:04And I'll just trail stop along the way.
17:30>> Thanks for the call out Giani. I
17:32appreciate it.
17:45The inverse indicator.
17:49So I if we're going to continue lower, I
17:51want us to stay below
17:5533,100.
17:59But I think there's a pretty good chance
18:01we could actually drop it down. I'm I'd
18:03be
18:04seeing if I could front run.
18:07Actually, you know what?
18:10Oh, that'd be like 200 points.
18:34No, I'm just messing with you, Giani.
18:43If you guys took this trade,
18:45uh you can be
18:47you can get out wherever, but I'm I'm
18:49going to hold it.
18:53Try to go for like 200 points. I'm using
18:54three micros.
19:07And then hopefully
19:09hopefully this doesn't come back
19:12to uh
19:14my entry
19:15so that we can
19:20we can end that
19:22on stream losing streak right here
19:25today.
19:30Uh entered right at open. Yeah, I did. I
19:33wanted to I was thinking about going
19:35short pre-market, but I
19:38was thinking to wait.
19:41Um
19:47We pushed up at the open and then we
19:49immediately just
19:50it was just a totally
19:52fake
19:54push upwards.
19:57It immediately failed.
20:07What's important though is this next
20:085-minute candle. If next 5-minute candle
20:12um
20:14opens up
20:16stays below 30,100
20:18and we continue down. If we close down
20:21here in 10 seconds, then we should
20:22actually be looking pretty good.
20:50I'm actually going to add into it if it
20:51flips bearish.
20:54DPK's in longs.
21:01>> [snorts]
21:08>> If I get tagged in on the shorts right
21:09now, it'll add me in three more
21:11contracts and then I'm going to trail
21:13stop to the top of the 5-minute wick.
22:03>> Order filled.
22:06>> All right, let's see if it will continue
22:08or take me out of break even.
22:10If we get a strong push down from uh
22:13this 5-minute, I am going to start
22:15trailing it to the to the open of it,
22:17though.
22:18So, that this trade wasn't a total waste
22:21of time.
22:23But, I'm looking for the momentum to
22:26continue if we get it. Otherwise, we'll
22:27just take our We'll take our 40 bucks.
22:32But, we are at we are at value area low,
22:34yeah.
22:35Which is concerning, but whatever.
22:45>> [snorts]
23:01>> Going to get ready to trail it. I would
23:03trail it to the open.
23:05The moment it takes the 5-minute lows.
23:08All right.
23:09We'll just lock that in. We'll see if it
23:12can continue.
23:13We had a large seller step in, so we got
23:15to see follow through, or else we're
23:17going to reject from here.
23:36We almost got stopped out of that.
23:39Maybe maybe we're pretty lucky.
23:42Might be lucky today, huh?
23:45All right, I'm trailing it right above
23:48where this big trade's at, which is
23:49sitting
23:5130,039.
23:54We'll lock in 600. We'll see if we can
23:56get the flush lower down towards that
23:5829,000 area I was talking about.
24:02We're going to front run it by five
24:04points, and if it hits,
24:06it'll be like
24:10I think 200 something points from
24:12initial entry.
24:18We just need us to continue. We're
24:20almost there.
24:25But this is kind of what I was looking
24:26in for, right? I said 5-minute candle
24:28open up, stay below 30,100, and we
24:30should be okay.
24:35Unless it hits break even, or hits my
24:36trailing stop.
24:38Then we'll just take our
24:40600 bucks.
24:43All right.
24:45Take our 600 bucks, and then we will
24:47continue on to the next opportunity,
24:50if we have one.
25:04>> Where is my original entry? It's like
25:06right when we were flipping bearish.
25:12We've gone over 100 points so far from
25:14initial entry.
25:16If we get tagged out at
25:2030,039
25:22I think I got in somewhere over here.
25:25Maybe like 93 points. That's fine.
25:29We'll be good.
25:38If we get a strong push down, I'm
25:39actually going to trail it again.
25:55I'm going to trail it right here. We'll
25:56lock in a thousand bucks.
25:58We'll be okay with that.
26:32I'm trailing it behind the stacked and
26:34balanced. Actually, I'll just leave it
26:36there.
26:38I'm going to wait.
26:40Cuz we're about to run lows.
26:46I do have to be careful of us wicking
26:48lows and slamming back up, so
26:51as we approach right here, I'm going to
26:52start trailing it pretty tight.
27:16All right, we took we took lows.
27:20See if we can get it to continue.
27:24I'm trailing stop here. We'll lock in
27:261,900.
27:29Trailing stop to lows.
27:31>> Order filled.
27:33>> What a banger.
27:37You like that?
27:40All right, now I'm just playing, but
27:44I will say
27:46that we actually ended this the
27:50we ended the um
27:54losing streak on the live.
27:57So,
27:59no one can say anything about that this
28:01week. We'll pat ourselves on the back. I
28:03know like earlier this week, guys, like
28:06I
28:08took some L's on the stream and then
28:14I get off stream and make it back.
28:17We had help from Gianni this morning. He
28:19said go long, so instantly that's my
28:22indication that we were totally going to
28:24melt.
28:26So, it worked out perfectly.
28:29So, oh, we're we're really going.
28:34But, yeah, so I got out around this
28:37area.
28:38Um
28:40I am going to be watching this area
28:41here.
28:45But, yeah, so like as of right now,
28:47we're up 2230 on this funded account.
28:51And then on our
28:53Alpha Futures funded account, we're up
28:551200.
29:00So,
29:04we're up $3400 today on the funded
29:06accounts.
29:09We caught like 900 ticks on the funded.
29:12We added into it.
29:18I
29:19If I had to take a guess,
29:21I'm going to guess [clears throat] that
29:23DS
29:24is in this short, still holding it.
29:41How you just close it? Nice.
29:47Asia lows. Got you.
29:56Well,
30:02what do we do now?
30:04I'm just joking.
30:08I could trade.
30:11The Here's the thing though, like after
30:15after we move down like this,
30:18it's like
30:20this is obviously the move of the
30:22morning.
30:24Um
30:28Let me ask you, who took those shorts?
30:30Who took the shorts?
30:33Did anyone take those shorts?
30:36Besides DS and Apple.
30:45>> Angel.
30:48Let's go.
30:53Jacob, let's go.
30:56Goku did, let's go.
31:05John McDonald made 3,500 on the shorts.
31:08We all cooked.
31:10We cooked.
31:12Johnny.
31:13Johnny, did you take the shorts, bro?
31:16Did you get Did you give up on uh on
31:19your long idea? All right, cool.
31:23>> [laughter]
31:25>> I'm glad to hear that.
31:28You trusted me. Cool.
31:31Well, if they're
31:32Yeah, if you went long, bro, that you
31:34literally couldn't have been any
31:37Okay, time out. This sell sell off is
31:39actually intense right now.
31:41We just went 2,000 ticks.
31:44We
31:45We really didn't pull back at all. You
31:46could have just kept trailing it. No
31:49hard TP.
31:53Wow, look at this, dude.
32:11Wow.
32:22Dude, the selling Look at Look at how
32:24much There's 116,000
32:26on this 5-minute candle. That's intense.
32:33Geez.
32:49>> Dude, honestly
32:53this market is is great to trade, dude.
32:55When we have these moves like this
32:59so much opportunity. Six micros.
33:03You know what I mean? Like six micros,
33:04200 bucks. You really don't need a lot.
33:08We're just flying around 1,000 ticks
33:10every single day.
33:19DS is killing it.
33:21Let's go.
33:28Yeah, 1K in less than 3 minutes with
33:30three micros. Banger.
33:40Trading on the iPad.
33:43I trade on the iPad. Whenever I travel
33:46I take my iPad that's sitting right
33:47here. You guys can't really see it.
33:50And I I have like the keyboard.
33:53And I'll I'll trade on the
33:56on Topstep.
34:05Still going.
34:12Yeah. The The only thing is that um
34:16when I travel though, I do take my
34:18laptop and I take I take it a
34:22uh external screen.
34:25So then I'll have my iPad, my laptop,
34:27and then a an external screen.
34:30And then um it's like a little three
34:32monitor setup. I'll look at footprint on
34:34my laptop, execute on my
34:36iPad.
34:39And then trading view on the external
34:40screen.
34:43Ooh, Italy. That should be fun.
34:57Am I on every day? Yes. John McDonald, I
35:01am on every day. Although tomorrow, I
35:03think I'll be live with prop firm match.
35:08So, this morning I said we needed to
35:11build the balance on this account.
35:15Okay, so a little recap I guess of
35:17today.
35:20So,
35:22we took shorts
35:25over here.
35:27Where is it?
35:29We took shorts over here during the
35:30overnight on this funded account. So,
35:33we're up 1,200 on this one.
35:36We caught 90 points.
35:39And then we took shorts on this funded
35:41account
35:43today.
35:46We caught 200 points.
35:49212 points. So, we caught 300 points
35:52today.
35:59You know what that deserves?
36:04Oh, is there no soundboard in here?
36:07I was going to soundboard a golf clap.
36:16Ball clap.
36:17>> [laughter]
36:36>> Let's see what Let's see what Gionni
36:38sent me.
36:39Gionni, why do you DM me like this, bro?
36:41Why don't you just say it in the chat?
36:44You DM'd me, "Let's go, bro."
36:51Why don't you just say it in the chat?
36:56Oh, is it cuz he's not in here anymore?
36:58Oh, that's probably why.
37:05Gionni's a funny guy.
38:13What up, Manu?
38:15First time here. Well, what a day for
38:17the first time here. Whoa.
38:22What is this, 4,000 ticks already? Oh,
38:243,000. Almost 2,500.
38:31Yeah, you're just
38:34>> [laughter]
38:35>> type of day you could just get in short
38:37and then it just keeps shorting.
38:41Although this was a valid this was a
38:43valid
38:44you could have watched this fail and you
38:46could have probably tried to short it,
38:47yep.
38:57Yeah, you can get in on every absorption
39:00of buyers higher.
39:02>> [snorts]
39:05>> So,
39:07we are
39:08definitely So, this is important to
39:10note, okay?
39:12This is what I was talking to somebody
39:14about yesterday. So,
39:15when I told you guys earlier, I don't
39:17know if you guys were on if you weren't
39:18on, but basically I was explaining that
39:21um
39:23I was on a call yesterday right when we
39:25were dipping down into here and I was
39:27mentioning that I was looking for us to
39:30come up. I was going to try and do it
39:32during the CME open heading into Asia,
39:35but we kind of did it randomly at the
39:37end of the day.
39:38And then I told the person I was talking
39:40to that
39:42potentially we're going to be looking
39:43for us to put in a lower high.
39:46Right? And then in the event that we
39:48start really ripping down, I wasn't
39:50expecting it to happen like this to be
39:52obviously, but
39:55um at this point,
39:57if we're going to continue this,
40:00even if we stop and find and balance
40:02out, find value,
40:04you know, I am expecting us to actually
40:06begin to truly shift bearish on all of
40:08the time frames and then eventually come
40:10and target down here.
40:13>> [snorts]
40:15>> That's kind of the idea.
40:17So, this morning, the reason why I was
40:20um
40:23looking for shorts was a couple reasons.
40:25Um one is because of sessions. So,
40:29we pump during Asia, we pump during
40:31London, we take pre-market London highs,
40:34we start dropping down, there was a
40:36large cluster positive gamma sitting up
40:38here.
40:40So, I marked this out and I was looking
40:42for
40:44shorts out of this area.
40:47We came down pre-market, we made a fake
40:49attempt to push higher, failed
40:51immediately, I went short. Targets would
40:53have been here and here.
40:55I couldn't have imagined that it would
40:56have actually done this. Although, if I
40:58had a time machine and I can go back uh
41:0130 minutes,
41:02then I would be very rich.
41:05But,
41:09yeah, so it's interesting.
41:12See if we actually come all the way
41:13down.
41:19The video is down 3%.
41:22SpaceX is down a percent.
41:25Dude, have you guys been watching metals
41:27recently?
41:29It's been getting absolutely
41:31hammered.
41:35We're almost back under 4,000.
41:39We haven't seen under 4,000 since
41:43last year October.
41:46Wow.
41:54Great volatility.
41:58This is great. This is a great summer.
41:59Usually, summers are like
42:03they don't really have I mean, in the
42:05past few years, right?
42:07Summers have been kind of like
42:09we go kind of range-bound sometimes.
42:14Less a little bit less participation,
42:16but
42:17so far this month, I mean, dude, in
42:19June, we've been having
42:23huge moves.
42:51It's probably This might be one of the
42:53most volatile months we've seen in a
42:55while.
42:59Let me actually look.
43:06All of this happened
43:09this month.
43:13Start off the month,
43:165,000 tick drop,
43:201,000 point or
43:221,000 point pump, 1,500 point dump,
43:271,200 point pump.
43:31Crazy.
43:36Dude, look at Oh, look at the ATR for
43:38the 5-minute right now. That's here.
43:41185 points per 5-minute candle.
43:46What is it for Oh, wait, my bad. Never
43:47mind. I'm an idiot.
43:49It's 93 points.
43:51We're looking at the wrong time frame.
43:54That's still pretty large, though, 93
43:56points.
43:5976 points for a 1-minute.
44:11>> What do What software do you use to view
44:14the order flow?
44:15Um, I use ATAS.
44:18I also use
44:19um
44:21I also use deep charts sometimes,
44:24depending on if I'm trading my alpha
44:25accounts.
44:34So, yeah. I use those two. But mainly, I
44:36mean, the only reason why I have deep
44:38charts
44:40is literally for one reason.
44:43Is only because the way that you can add
44:46stop limits.
44:53I did try Sierra Charts for a little
44:55while.
44:57That was the first platform I actually
44:59ever used for order flow. So, first I
45:02started with Sierra Charts.
45:06And then like
45:08being new to order flow and trying to
45:11use Sierra Charts
45:13I just like
45:15it was slightly overwhelming at the
45:17time.
45:19So, I kind of just I mean, it's great.
45:20That's probably the
45:21goated platform, the best one. In my
45:25opinion, probably for
45:28It's just so customizable, but
45:30um
45:31basically, I gave up on it because this
45:33was like years ago.
45:39And then I went to Edge Pro X, which I
45:42think is very similar, if not the same
45:44thing as MotiveWave.
45:47But it wasn't really that good.
45:49And then I I got into ATAS.
45:52And then I just stuck with it cuz I like
45:54it.
45:57So, this is the new hourly candle.
46:05>> In the 4-hour.
46:38I think it's not done going down yet.
46:42>> [snorts]
46:52>> What platform do I use for options flow?
46:54I use to Nuki trade.
46:56If you wanted to get a free trial, use
46:58code never flat.
47:06Um converting from ICT to order flow
47:11is actually not that difficult because a
47:14lot of ICT's
47:17concepts that he created
47:19He didn't create anything by the way.
47:21But
47:22a lot of the things that he created he
47:24claims he created that it's basically a
47:25simplified version of auction market
47:27theory. A lot of it is.
47:29So, if you
47:32understand ICT and you start learning
47:35about auction market theory
47:37a lot of it's actually going to make a
47:39lot of sense to you.
47:40It's just the more
47:42raw detailed version of what it actually
47:45is, not a simplified version using
47:46candlesticks.
47:48Oh, uh bar candlesticks.
47:50So,
47:52if you want to start, the first thing
47:53you should start with is uh
48:00The first thing you should start with is
48:02definitely just understanding auction
48:04market theory.
48:13Where can you study auction market
48:14theory? Well, auction market theory is
48:17very well documented. It is all over the
48:20internet.
48:24YouTube University.
48:27Take your Take your talents there.
48:39Mind over markets is a good book for
48:41auction market theory. I've never read
48:43it.
48:44Interesting though.
48:46What data feed do I use? On my live
48:48account, which is what this is connected
48:50to, it is algorithmic.
48:56Was I looking at GEX level? Yes, I was.
48:59That's what this is That's what this box
49:01is right here.
49:08I was watching this GEX trades.
49:17It was basically the two largest
49:19positive GEX nodes.
49:21Um but
49:23I didn't know that we were going to I
49:24didn't think we were going to do this
49:25though.
49:26It was That was totally unexpected.
49:31Uh well, it was a com- it was a
49:33combination of things, but
49:36that is one thing I was looking at, yes.
50:42>> AT&T's new heat map 3D mode.
50:52Yeah, they have a new 3D mode.
51:18You shorted the bottom one? Why?
51:25Well,
51:25it's okay.
51:27As long as you didn't cause a really
51:28large loss.
51:30>> [snorts]
51:55>> Let's see how far it's going to squeeze
51:57squeeze up.
52:06Yeah, do I check hourly candles because
52:09hourly candles give me an idea for the
52:12intraday the high I use hourly candles
52:14for the hard time frame for the intraday
52:16session.
52:22So, I have a chart. You guys can't see
52:24it. It's right here. These are hourly
52:26candles. I have a delta profile the RTH
52:28volume profile.
52:30And then there's V walk that starts. But
52:32I start my RTH session at the six at the
52:35hourly candle that starts
52:38like the first hourly candle of the
52:39session. So, 30 minutes before market
52:42actually opens is when I start that.
52:45And I do that because it's the first
52:46hourly candle.
52:55The market's moving around right now a
52:56lot. I'm sitting here seeing if I can
52:59risk some of these profits on this
53:00account.
53:05for an opportunity.
53:10Uh what do you think about Fabio
53:12Valentini's strategy?
53:14He's he's the goat.
53:19It's great. He's a dude, you know what?
53:20He's a beast at adding into positions,
53:23building positions, scaling out.
53:26It's great.
53:28Most order flow traders actually trade
53:31basically that way.
53:33Um
53:34volume profiles value area break and
53:36retest of value area.
53:41I do it slightly I trade it slightly
53:43differently.
53:46But at the end of the day we're all
53:47reading order flow and all you're
53:49reading at the end of the day is
53:52you're understanding auction market
53:53theory in terms of where value builds,
53:56how we cycle from imbalance to balance,
53:59and then you're reading effort versus
54:01result.
54:05And then you can add options flow
54:07because
54:09when you get into order flow, you
54:11basically start paying attention to
54:13volume and participation a lot.
54:16Um
54:18and then
54:19options flow is like a layer deeper than
54:21that where you start understanding like
54:25why some of the
54:27um
54:29volume and participation exists.
54:34Cuz the options market, especially zero
54:36DTE,
54:38is
54:39it's huge.
54:41Um the options market is bigger than
54:43CFDs, bigger than Forex, bigger than
54:45futures. And
54:48zero DTE options actually make up about
54:50I think over 50% of all options flow, uh
54:54zero DTE contracts.
54:58So if you have
55:00>> [clears throat]
55:02>> if you have a bunch of um
55:06participation coming from a monster of a
55:07market like the options market, and then
55:09you have uh liquidity providers, right?
55:13Market makers, dealers.
55:16And they need to hedge their positions.
55:18They hedge hedge it in the underlying.
55:21Futures being one of them.
55:35Yeah, DS, that's kind of that's what I'm
55:37waiting for as well. I I think that
55:39they're
55:40I would be pretty surprised if we
55:42straight-up V-shape this all the way
55:44back
55:45like this.
55:47There may be an opportunity on this pump
55:50up where we start to
55:54potentially roll over again.
55:58But I'm waiting just in case we don't
56:00and we just if we V-shape this, that
56:02would actually be crazy.
56:05That'd be the craziest V-shape I've
56:06probably ever seen.
56:09>> [snorts]
56:45>> 5-minute candles are 106 points ATR
56:47right now on a 14 length.
56:57Can you get Can you get my
57:00Yeah, I don't V-shapes are
57:05I mean if if if I have like a trade that
57:08I was going to get long for a reversal
57:10anyways and then it just happens to
57:11V-shape, then great, but
57:13you know, I usually end up getting out
57:15before it truly V-shapes up and I
57:19typically won't try and take a
57:21continuation like once this is starting
57:24to form like this, I don't
57:27try and follow it like that.
57:38>> [snorts]
57:44>> V-shapes are profit killers.
57:48Yeah, I don't really trade them.
57:50>> [snorts]
58:25>> I'm going to I'm going to try a short
58:27here with four micros. We're going to
58:30risk some of the profits for today.
58:35I'm going to see if this 5-minute can
58:37flip bearish or if we're just going to
58:39get wrecked.
58:45All right, flip bearish. I'm going to
58:46move it to break even.
58:48We're going to see if it can
58:51drop lower.
58:53Um if we approach
58:56what is this? 572, I'm going to start
58:59trailing my stop.
59:11Uh DGS took it, too.
59:15Nice.
59:18I'm looking for it to happen relatively
59:20quickly with some follow-through.
59:33>> I need to get uh it's just going to take
59:34me out.
59:36We'll take our 200. Oh.
59:46I'm going to trail it as we go down,
59:48though.
59:55I actually took two two off.
1:00:00And we're going to let the other two
1:00:01ride.
1:00:03Well, not really ride because it's my
1:00:06trailing stops right here, but we're
1:00:07going to see if it can continue.
1:00:13>> [clears throat]
1:00:26>> This 5 minutes is probably going to open
1:00:28up and take me out, but I don't want to
1:00:29necessarily
1:00:32um
1:00:36risk a whole lot.
1:00:39All right, so we made 400 bucks on that.
1:00:41I'll take it.
1:00:43So now we're up 1,600 on this account.
1:00:49It's probably still going to drop
1:00:51um
1:00:52as long as we don't get back above like
1:00:54670.
1:01:01It's just pretty volatile right now, and
1:01:02one thing to note is just that
1:01:05um
1:01:09I already have enough in this balance
1:01:11for a max payout. So that it's kind of
1:01:13pointless for me to actually continue to
1:01:14trade it like this.
1:01:16But
1:01:21I mean I I just I thought we were going
1:01:23to turn around up there. I can't I got
1:01:24to try it.
1:01:27Although, that's why I trailed my stop
1:01:28cuz
1:01:32the most I can take out on this next
1:01:33payout is 2250 anyways, so
1:01:36it's just
1:02:06Banger DS.
1:02:08You went one micro?
1:02:11Very nice.
1:02:18>> [snorts]
1:02:40>> Wow, that's 135 points.
1:02:44Looks so small.
1:02:56Yeah, dude, these days where we have all
1:02:58totally like this, I mean, you don't
1:02:59even need to catch You don't even need
1:03:01to catch like a
1:03:03like the whole move. You could just
1:03:05scalp it if you just get a good entry. I
1:03:08mean, I went four micros, right? I went
1:03:10four micros, I made 400 bucks. It was
1:03:11just
1:03:13took me 2 minutes to catch 50 points.
1:03:18So now we have caught
1:03:20350 points today.
1:03:26Well,
1:03:28260
1:03:33260
1:03:34from this session and then Asia session
1:03:37caught 90.
1:03:39Uh yeah, I use rhythmic data on it on a
1:03:42test. It's good.
1:03:45It I mean it's the normal live rhythmic
1:03:47Chicago server, so
1:03:51I rarely have issues with it. It's very
1:03:53rare.
1:03:57What do you mean the data is different
1:03:59than others? In what way?
1:04:04You don't mean prices, right? Because
1:04:06that's
1:04:07that shouldn't be happening.
1:04:29Oh, big trades.
1:04:35Mhm.
1:04:37It's cuz sometimes they calculate it
1:04:39differently. Especially you'll also have
1:04:41different big trades
1:04:43uh on the big trades indicator depending
1:04:44on what platform you're using, too.
1:04:47The way they group orders,
1:04:49you know, the way they calculate the
1:04:51orders.
1:04:55So like if you look at deep charts and
1:04:58you look at
1:05:00Sierra charts,
1:05:02probably, or you look at MotiveWave, you
1:05:04look at A-TAs,
1:05:06you'll the very obvious big trades,
1:05:08you'll still see big trades pop up
1:05:09around the same spot, but the numbers
1:05:11may be different.
1:05:13And if you have a filter, like let's say
1:05:15your filter's like
1:05:17250 for MNQ.
1:05:19Um
1:05:21because the numbers are different, you
1:05:23may have bubbles pop up on one platform
1:05:25and they don't pop up on the other.
1:05:34But I I'm really not too concerned about
1:05:36that.
1:05:55Uh what do I use for Bookmap?
1:05:57For heat map, I use I I I look at this.
1:06:03So, what this is right here is this is a
1:06:06test as old heat map.
1:06:07These white levels right here are the
1:06:09DOM.
1:06:10So, depth of market expresses levels.
1:06:18And then the heat maps right here.
1:06:34So, the footprint should not change. It
1:06:36should be the same.
1:06:39It should be the same unless you have
1:06:40some type of setting um
1:06:42where it's aggregating data.
1:06:45Then it's going to look different. So,
1:06:46like for example, on my footprint
1:06:48charts, I have it aggregating data for
1:06:50every point. So, this isn't tick by tick
1:06:53because if I keep it tick by tick, then
1:06:55I got to zoom in like a lot to see the
1:06:57footprint show up. And when we're moving
1:06:59around, um
1:07:02for example, we're at 111.8
1:07:05TR right now.
1:07:07Do I necessarily need to see tick by
1:07:09tick order flow data? Like, not really.
1:07:12Um
1:07:13I'm okay with it being per point.
1:07:16So, it aggregates. Now, if you're on
1:07:17deep charts, right? So, let's take a
1:07:20look at deep charts. What deep charts
1:07:22does is you notice how like the more I
1:07:25zoom out, there's there's less levels
1:07:27and the more I zoom in, there's more
1:07:29levels. So, they're aggregating their
1:07:31numbers and their data, right? So, like
1:07:33if you go and it shows for simplicity of
1:07:37like ease of use, right? So,
1:07:40if you go and you look at this and it's
1:07:42all scrunched up and you look at this
1:07:44and say
1:07:46"Oh, there's 23 and 112 sitting here."
1:07:49Then you go over here, you're like,
1:07:50"Where's that at, right?" Up here.
1:07:54It's because it's aggregating the data.
1:07:58There may be slight differences in the
1:07:59numbers. I haven't really done like a
1:08:02in-depth like
1:08:05test.
1:08:06Right? But,
1:08:09but yeah, they will be different. You
1:08:12like it'll keep doing this until I zoom
1:08:14in until I get only per tick. See? It's
1:08:16like this is now per tick.
1:08:19So,
1:08:20if we go up here now,
1:08:24and it's zoomed in all the way, we have
1:08:250 A 0 10 4 10.
1:08:29I would need to change this to tick by
1:08:30tick, but it'd probably be the same. 0 A
1:08:320 10 4 10.
1:09:01All right. Well, you know what?
1:09:04I think I'm done.
1:09:08I think I'm just going to call it.
1:09:12So,
1:09:14I hope you guys had a good day. I hope
1:09:15we're green.
1:09:18I hope nobody tried to continuously long
1:09:21this short.
1:09:24I don't know why you would if you're
1:09:25watching that, but I just hope nobody
1:09:27did that.
1:09:30And then if you miss this,
1:09:32if you miss this move,
1:09:36don't try and force a bunch of [ __ ] if
1:09:39we start balancing out, please.
1:09:42You know what I mean?
1:09:45You missed the train and now you're just
1:09:47trying to like uh
1:09:49make up for it, you know, by like
1:09:51trading trading uh overlapping candles.
1:09:54I mean, it's still big enough though
1:09:56where you can scalp and make money for
1:09:57sure, but
1:10:00I hope you understand my point.
1:10:04At a certain point today, we're probably
1:10:05going to balance out if it's not going
1:10:07to happen right here. We're probably
1:10:09going to balance out some point
1:10:10somewhere. So,
1:10:12just don't be don't be that guy. Don't
1:10:14be the guy who
1:10:16misses a move like this or even like the
1:10:19pump up like this or whatever.
1:10:22And then we start doing this. You miss
1:10:23both of those, so now we're doing this
1:10:25and then you're over here like
1:10:26destroying your accounts in this after
1:10:28we just had like a you know what I mean?
1:10:31That used to happen to me all the time.
1:10:35And I know that's probably happening to
1:10:36somebody right now.
1:10:39So, that's just
1:10:41my heads up
1:10:42to not do that.
1:10:46All right, well, I'll catch you guys.
1:10:48Round of applause.
1:10:50The the winning uh the losing streak on
1:10:52stream where then I go and get off
1:10:54stream and make my make profits that
1:10:56ended today, so we actually
1:10:59uh caught a decent amount on stream. We
1:11:01caught 260 points on stream.
1:11:05And then
1:11:07last night during during Asia, I um
1:11:10I caught 90 points. So, today
1:11:14we're up over 350 points.
1:11:18We're 350 points.
1:11:20So, I'm going to just call it there. I
1:11:22will catch you guys later. Um uh
