0:04Yo, what up my bad. Just got back to my
0:06computer.
0:10Dude, I've been in these
0:12I've been in these shorts and then it
0:13like had this random move down and then
0:15it came all the way back up.
0:18It's [ __ ] lame.
0:25So, we're probably going to get stopped
0:26out of it right now, but
0:29it's all right.
0:32Yeah, we are bullish, but I was trying
0:34to
0:37catch the retracement lower.
0:40If we were going to have it.
0:43And then we had this like
0:45random candle that popped in here.
0:49It went like, I don't know, on my top
0:51step account
0:54like 40 points in a profit and then it
0:56just like snapped back. I didn't even
0:59have time to react. It just went like
1:02So.
1:04Yeah, I'm just holding this right now.
1:09Probably going to get stopped out. Like
1:13if I don't get stopped out before market
1:14open
1:16I'm probably going to get stopped out
1:17like right at market open.
1:19But, I'm in profit
1:21on both of these accounts that I'm
1:22trading from last night.
1:25So, I just wanted to
1:28test it out. Give it a shot.
1:33What up? What up?
2:12I would actually be pretty surprised if
2:13I uh
2:15if I don't get stopped out of this to be
2:17completely honest.
2:19I'll be a very lucky man.
2:31Cuz chances are
2:33at open we may like
2:36shoot up, you know what I mean?
2:47But, I mean I'm just going to hold it.
2:50Why not?
2:58We had two
2:59uh very aggressive drops pre-market.
3:09Uh the Discord, you got to just join
3:11through the what, bro?
3:15You could you could just Google it. It's
3:17called Never Flat
3:19trading Discord.
3:33I mean, you could see the delta.
3:36All right, fine. If you want to see the
3:37volume, fine. There you go.
3:40Boom.
3:55Got to tighten risk a little bit.
4:00I have a feeling the open is going to
4:03come for my stop.
4:06Hopefully, we just like melt off the
4:08open and hit my TP.
4:10Then I'll be
4:11I'll be happy.
4:13TP's down here, full TP.
4:40Actually, I should probably put it
4:43Ooh, nasty. Yeah, we're [ __ ]
4:48I'm going to break even on the funded
4:49account.
4:57Dude, every time. It's happened twice.
5:00Move down.
5:02Pop back up.
5:04We're probably going to shoot up at the
5:06open then.
5:08If we can't push lower.
5:16>> So, we'll save the funded account a
5:18little bit of a headache there.
5:20But, I mean, this is only in one micro,
5:23so I'm just going to leave it, but we're
5:24probably going to get taken out before
5:26market open.
5:37Damn, it was looking good for a second.
5:40Tisk, tisk, tisk.
6:09If you should copy trade, I mean, that's
6:11up to you.
6:14I have a feeling today is going to be
6:15kind of
6:17weird.
6:19Last night we had like this pretty crazy
6:23um
6:26Last night we had a pretty crazy dump
6:28and then it just like retraced the
6:29entire thing and then dumped again.
6:32Which was pretty interesting.
6:43Oh, we actually didn't get stopped out
6:45just yet.
6:51Oh.
6:59We're going to hold it.
7:01We're going to hold it.
7:05Damn, I was being I was being a little
7:07[ __ ] then on the on the funded.
7:11Actually, at this point I'm moving this
7:12to break even.
7:14Uh no.
7:20It's just that we keep rejecting out of
7:22this area.
7:24So, it's making me
7:26slightly nervous.
7:28But, I didn't get the best entry on this
7:29account, so
7:31I can't really move it to break even.
7:34How about let's just tighten the risk a
7:35little bit to the top of If this candle
7:37flips bullish, then yeah, we're not
7:39going to stay in this.
7:51But, I've been holding this trade since
7:52like, I don't know, probably this
7:54candle.
7:56This candle.
7:57So, it's been a little while. We We saw
7:59this dump. We came down a little bit. We
8:01saw this dump again and then it's just
8:03It may still go down, but
8:07I'd rather just not
8:08stay in it.
8:11We almost did it, though.
8:21Unless it just came up to make a wick
8:23and then take out my stop and then
8:25and then now it's going to go.
8:33Bro.
8:53But, yeah. Honestly, I did make I did
8:56make profits during the overnight.
8:59So, I mean, I'm up 400 on this account.
9:01I made back the loss from yesterday.
9:04So, um
9:10I'm going to be kind of uh
9:13careful about this morning.
9:16Apparently, there's like some stuff
9:18going back and forth.
9:20Of course.
9:22About the whole
9:25war [ __ ]
9:42It's nasty, though. Three times we
9:44attempted to come down and just [ __ ]
9:46popped up.
10:20>> Oh, we have PMI.
10:23I got to check that.
10:30Got to set an alarm.
11:21Dude, what a bummer. I wish that would
11:22have kept running
11:24off the open.
11:25No, but to be real, I got pretty lucky I
11:27didn't get stopped out of that
11:28pre-market.
12:48Think I might wait for PMI.
12:54And let us just do whatever we're about
12:56to do right here.
13:39Head- heading into the weekend, since
13:42it's Thursday, what are the chances that
13:44we get another
13:46some random news
13:49some random war news over the weekend
13:51that causes another crazy gap.
14:47Volume is never coming back. What do you
14:49mean?
15:32Uh, yeah.
15:46It's definitely been a little um
15:48different
15:50recently, but we just got to got to
15:52adapt to it.
16:31We got 5 minutes until PMI.
16:35Well,
16:36yeah, 5 minutes.
17:22If we do continue to push up though,
17:23then
17:25I'm expecting us to take Asia highs
17:28and actually previous daily highs as
17:30well.
17:34And come into like the
17:3627,150 area.
17:41But, I would I would have honestly
17:42preferred I was trying to see if we can
17:46drop down. Whoops.
17:48I was trying to see if we could drop
17:49down like at the open. I was going to go
17:51try and go long somewhere down here.
17:54I was going to wait to see if I should
17:55go long down here, but
17:58I would rather have done that than
18:00trying to
18:03trade it up here.
18:35Yo, what up, Christian?
18:52Well, if this thing is just going to
18:53grind up, then honestly
18:57I'm probably going to miss most of it.
19:00Cuz I don't really feel comfortable
19:01going long right now. At least up here.
19:04I would have I want us to
19:07pull back.
19:37And also, you know, we are technically
19:40like bullish overall on the uh
19:47higher time frame and
19:49even lower time frames. So,
19:52if we do start getting a slow grind up,
19:54I don't really think it's a good idea to
19:56try and time the top of it. So,
19:59not not even just a slow grind up, but
20:01if we just start like moving up,
20:03it's probably not the best idea to uh
20:07try and time the top of it.
20:48All right, we got a minute until PMI.
20:51We'll let We'll let that get out of the
20:52way first, and then we'll
20:54see if we can
20:58catch anything.
21:27Although, if we are going to turn
21:28around,
21:40I'll watch this area.
21:43Ooh.
21:47We're frozen.
21:51Right back to
21:54the open of it.
23:23>> [snorts]
24:44>> Did any of you guys catch those longs?
24:48Pretty good.
24:59We're about to take Asia highs. Well, we
25:01basically just took it right now.
25:04Now we have previous daily highs sitting
25:05right here. So,
25:10let's see if we continue up.
25:39It's all-time high, too, right?
25:43Yeah.
25:48Oh, [ __ ]
26:08A quick spike down.
26:10Where? This one? At the news candle?
26:20Oh, yeah. I know. I noticed that. The
26:22wi- the wick was
26:27It's pretty nasty, actually.
26:29How big of a difference is that?
26:34Yeah, like maybe a 15-point difference
26:36in the wick.
26:49Very nice. 32 days straight. That beats
26:53my record.
26:55I was on like a 31-day winning streak in
26:58April.
26:59And then ever since then, I've just been
27:01washed up.
27:02Has-been.
27:06That's crazy, though.
27:07Funded Futures family.
27:11I've always been kind of suspicious
27:12about them.
27:14So, I've never purchased one of their
27:15accounts before.
27:18But, that sucks what happened.
27:26Ooh.
27:47Wait, so they Hey,
27:49Money Man, did they take
27:51uh
27:52did they take the profits away, and then
27:54you're still trading the accounts, or
27:55did you just like
27:58did you just like give up on those
28:00accounts, and you're on to
28:02new ones?
28:10Okay, you're still trading them.
28:12Well, now Yeah, now you got to
28:14now you got to get your money from them.
28:22Hell yeah.
28:28What's up, Mr. Hertz? Nah. Well,
28:31actually, I did.
28:32Pre-market, I went short.
28:36Pre-market, I went short
28:39like right here
28:40with my stop originally right here, and
28:42I was trying to target uh here.
28:47And then,
28:50we had this like random spike down, and
28:52then it came back up, and then at the
28:55open, we went down again, and then it
28:57just came back up. So, I moved this I
29:00moved my uh Express account with Topstep
29:03to break even.
29:05And then,
29:06on I was trading a live account, like a
29:09small account,
29:11and I took like a $19 loss, cuz I didn't
29:14want to put it to break even.
29:16So, now we're just sitting here.
29:18So, basically, what I'm watching right
29:19now is
29:22we're coming up, right? And every single
29:24time we see this selling come in,
29:27there's really nothing that is
29:29following it. So, I'm kind of just
29:31anticipating at this point, until proven
29:33otherwise, that we're just going to
29:34continue up into
29:36potentially previous daily highs, unless
29:40um
29:41we actually start to see some
29:43follow-through.
29:46But,
29:47I don't know, recently, like this month,
29:50a little bit last month, we keep having
29:52these like random
29:55like we'll have like uh normal movement,
29:57you know, relative to session volume,
30:00and then out of nowhere it'll just be
30:01like some spike of volume.
30:03And then
30:07I just I've been having the worst worst
30:10uh when it comes to like news candles,
30:11dude, I'm probably over four, like I'll
30:11this month. I'll be in a trade and then
30:12out of nowhere some tweet comes out and
30:13it just goes like the opposite
30:13direction. Like why can't I just be on
30:14the right side? And then last night,
30:14bro, since we're waiting I'm going to
30:15show you guys something. Last night,
30:16check this out. This is the reason why
30:16this account is up 400 bucks is because
30:17last night I went short somewhere right
30:18here. Whoops. Went short like right
30:19here. I had a stop right here. And I was
30:19just trying to target these lows, right?
30:20So, I was looking at my phone because
30:21the market was kind of slow and then I
30:22just hear order filled and I'm like,
30:23"Oh, that was pretty quick." Of course,
30:23the one time that I'm actually on the
30:24right side of the news I [ __ ] take
30:25myself out for 100 ticks. Painful. And
30:26then we came up here and I shorted it
30:27again up here. I shorted it again right
30:27here. And then I got out for 100 ticks.
30:28And then we came all the way down. It's
30:29a cruel joke. It's a cruel joke. They
30:30were those two entries were great. I
30:31just [ __ ] took myself out of it like
30:32a dummy. Well, I mean it's it's like,
30:32"Dude, how can I no hard TP? That's the
30:34that's the new thing. No hard TP, huh?"
30:35But yeah, so I was able to catch uh like
30:36200 ticks. I was using smaller size. So,
30:37I'm up 400 on the funded and then I'm up
30:39like 100 on Well, actually I just lost
30:41$19 or something. So, I'm probably up
30:43like
30:4480 bucks on the live account
30:47on this like small account I'm doing.
30:50So, now we're just going to wait.
30:56We have the 4-hour opening in 5 minutes.
30:58I'm hoping that uh
31:03Yeah, I am still up after the drought.
31:04It's been a rough month for me.
31:06Been my ass kicked.
31:08But I'm still net positive with firms,
31:10which is
31:11fine.
31:13At least I didn't lose money this month.
31:18So, the streak continues of being net
31:20positive with firms every month.
31:24We will we will be 13 months in of not
31:27losing a single dollar to prop firms.
31:30And then
31:32next month
31:35I need a I need to start preparing for
31:36next month. I need I need to get like
31:38some funded accounts and [ __ ]
31:39Otherwise,
31:41there's nothing worse than starting off
31:42the month by having to purchase accounts
31:45and then putting yourself in a hole you
31:46got to climb out of. It's kind of a
31:48It's not the best way to do it.
31:53So, I have a little bit of profit from
31:54this month in terms of money in money
31:56out. I might just use the rest of it
31:59heading into like
32:02maybe later today or
32:04next week
32:07where I'm just going to start trading a
32:08a bunch of evals super aggressively just
32:11the purpose of
32:14trying to get some funded accounts to
32:15start off May so I I could just focus on
32:17those. Pull a payout, start the month
32:19off net positive, and then
32:22make sure that I just don't go net
32:24negative and then keep the streak alive.
32:27Straight to funded? No, cuz I don't like
32:29their consistency rules on straight to
32:31funded.
32:38Yeah, an 8-week win streak and then you
32:41got
32:42smacked.
32:44Same. I mean January and February
32:47February is where I went on like a
32:4931-day winning streak
32:52for
32:54my top one of my top step accounts and I
32:56built it up to like a
32:59had like $40,000 in profits on it.
33:02And then
33:05I pulled out most of it, but I had like
33:077 grand left in that account and then
33:08there was one day in the beginning of
33:10March I just like tilted and blew like
33:11seven fundeds.
33:13And then ever since then I've just been
33:15squirming in the dirt.
33:18Well, we're I mean we're still all
33:20right. It could always be worse. You
33:22know what I mean? It could always be
33:23worse.
33:26So, let's just try not make it worse.
33:28It's kind of what I'm thinking.
33:33I need to adjust this.
33:44Um
33:50ATAS X is available on Mac, which is
33:53good for anybody who has Mac.
33:56It's lighter weight so it doesn't use as
33:58much uh
34:03If we come down into this area, I'm
34:05going to I'm going to look to
34:06potentially long it.
34:08Um
34:13What was I talking about? Oh yeah, and
34:15then they and then they just released
34:17their new heat map beta, which I don't
34:19have
34:20cuz they want me to purchase a new
34:22subscription or redo it. Not going to do
34:24that.
34:31But they're trying to move over to um
34:35to ATAS X.
34:42It's going to be like their official
34:43platform.
34:48So, I just like moved over to it. It's
34:50pretty cool though. You got like these
34:51like tabs and stuff.
34:53Like uh
34:55You can like make tabs
35:02like how you can in TradingView, which
35:04is kind of cool.
35:06Cuz the other one you weren't able to do
35:07that. Just had to be like separate
35:08windows, which was kind of a pain in the
35:10ass.
35:22All right, so now we got the new hourly
35:24opening.
35:26This hourly closed pretty gross.
35:29Big wick up,
35:31small body.
35:41Yeah, Sierra Charts is great.
35:43It's like the the golden standard of
35:45order flow.
35:48And it's the most customizable platform.
35:54Their UI is just like
35:57boomer.
35:59But
36:00it does the job.
36:18Yeah, SC is Sierra Charts.
36:30We're back into this area that we keep
36:32bouncing out of.
36:34Hopefully we can actually break past
36:35this and start coming down.
36:42And then I'm watching uh 870.
36:4726 870.
36:57I think honestly I probably won't even
36:59take a trade unless we get down there to
37:01870 and then I have to see uh
37:04if we're going to bounce there or not.
37:17Ooh.
37:34We're also just currently like
37:39In terms of gamma, we're kind of just
37:41rotating so far between the gamma flip
37:44level.
39:47>> Ooh, banger trade.
39:50What's up?
39:55It's a nice entry.
40:01Also tomorrow I'm going to be live
40:03streaming with uh Proper Match. So, I
40:05won't be on my YouTube channel and I
40:07won't be in Discord, but
40:09I'll be on their YouTube.
40:24Yeah, see this is gross.
40:27Fit We're failing for the
40:31fourth time basically.
40:35Yeah, I will. I I forget to do that
40:37sometimes. I'll send the link.
40:44It's kind of hard for me to trade uh
40:46a little bit. I mean, there's one time I
40:47caught like 160 points or something on
40:50Proper Match's stream, but a lot of the
40:52times the guy's just asking me a bunch
40:53of questions, you know, so it's kind of
40:55hard to focus.
40:58But he's a good host. I mean, he keeps a
41:00conversation going, which is the point,
41:01so it's not boring. You know what I
41:03mean?
41:04Sometimes I'm sitting here
41:06and I'm just thinking like, "Ah man, I'm
41:08just probably boring for people who are
41:09watching this." But sometimes I just
41:10like
41:12sometimes you got to just sit here and
41:13do nothing.
42:12Yeah, we're not breaking lower yet. We
42:14just can't even get past this.
42:54Both.
42:56JT.
42:57You have to pay attention to
43:01when it comes to absorption and spotting
43:03absorption,
43:04you have to pay attention to
43:07aggression and then the the the outcome,
43:10right? Like what is the result of that
43:11aggression? And
43:14in terms of looking at
43:16delta or
43:18volume, because when you are saying POC,
43:20you're referring to volume,
43:22you got to look at both of them.
43:26Because if there's not a lot of volume
43:30at at at the extremes of the candle,
43:34then there is a chance that it's
43:38maybe not absorption.
43:44So like, I have this other candle I have
43:46this other chart.
43:48This chart.
43:50Hold on.
43:52So, this has delta. The these candles
43:55have delta, so I'm looking at delta,
43:56right?
43:58And then anytime there's a large amount
43:59of delta, it it's printing these like
44:01diamonds. But this isn't necessarily
44:05telling me that it was like the diamonds
44:07alone are not saying like that that's
44:10absorption. It's just telling me where
44:13strong participation was in terms of
44:16like uh delta. So then I pay attention
44:19to that.
44:20I pay attention to the POC.
44:23And it has to
44:25it has to happen though
44:27in areas that I care about. Like in a
44:30location that makes sense, otherwise
44:33absorption without location
44:37is just like it's whatever. Like it is
44:39basically it could just be noise, you
44:41know what I mean? Because just cuz we
44:43see absorption doesn't mean that price
44:46is just going to reverse.
44:48You can have absorption and then it
44:50causes a a stall or a pause and then we
44:52have continuation. So,
44:55above absorption
44:57the most important thing is location,
44:59otherwise it's just like
45:02noise, you know what I mean?
45:22Dude.
45:29How long is this going to last, dude,
45:31like this
45:32New York price action being like this?
45:38I got to just start focusing on Asia
45:40session.
45:44So far, majority of my profits this
45:46month have literally came from like
45:50gold
45:51Asia session. Maybe a little bit of NQ.
46:01I think uh
46:04I don't keep track of it, but if I think
46:05I went back and I looked at the trades
46:07that I only took on stream, I'm probably
46:09on a losing streak.
46:15Wait, no, there was that one trade I
46:16took where we went long and it was like
46:20100 points in profit and then it came
46:22back.
46:25So, I guess that wasn't a losing trade,
46:26but
46:32I know. Dude, I'm a [ __ ] foot. Sorry,
46:34guys.
46:39It happens though, you know what I mean?
46:46Only catching W's outside of stream.
46:49>> [snorts]
46:51>> Sometimes.
47:02Yeah, when I back in February though,
47:03when I was on that 31-day winning streak
47:07on my Topstep account,
47:09there were days where I was red in the
47:10stream and I was red and then the next
47:12day I show back up on stream and I'm
47:13like in profit like $1,000.
47:22>> [laughter]
47:23>> Scammer.
47:24Ah, dude, this is free. I don't know I
47:26don't charge anything. You guys can just
47:27watch and hang out, you know what I
47:28mean?
47:30It'd be different if I was charging you
47:31guys to look at my live,
47:34but
47:35I don't do that.
47:38Yeah.
47:48That would be pretty crazy.
47:51Imagine I was like charging people to
47:53watch me trade live and then every day
47:55I'm like [ __ ] losing and then
47:57That would be that would be pretty
47:59shady.
48:01I'm sure there are a ton of people who
48:02actually do that, too.
48:16Yeah.
48:18It's like they lose on stream, right?
48:20Like they stream,
48:21they eat [ __ ] they lose,
48:24and then they like
48:26make it back off stream, get back to
48:28break even, then start clipping it and
48:30clip a winning trade and be like, "Today
48:32I made $1,000."
48:34>> [laughter]
48:36>> And everyone who's in there
48:37uh
48:38everyone who's in their Discord is like,
48:39"Man, what the [ __ ] you know?
48:41Like we just we blew our accounts
48:42today."
48:55Oh, really?
49:00Well, I mean,
49:02to their defense, you know, and to my
49:04defense as well, why I take uh
49:11uh Well, dude, like okay, so check this
49:14out, right?
49:16If you're sitting on stream,
49:19do I really want to sit here all day on
49:22stream?
49:23No.
49:25You know?
49:27But
49:28are my charts always up on my screen
49:30like all throughout the day?
49:32Yeah.
49:33So, let's say I like dude, sometimes
49:36there's times where we're doing this,
49:38right? We're like kind of not really
49:39doing anything and then I'll be like,
49:41"All right, guys. Like I'm going to get
49:42off stream. See you later." And then the
49:44moment I get off stream, we start just
49:46like moving and I'm like, "Oh, well,
49:47[ __ ] [ __ ] I'm not just going to
49:48start the stream back up. Like let me
49:50just [ __ ] take a trade." You know
49:51what I mean? So, sometimes it happens
49:53like that, but
49:55I'm not going to start my stream every
49:57single time I see a trade.
50:00The streamer curse, yeah.
50:09I want to see us break lower
50:11and get out of this area right here.
50:16Because I think if we begin to break
50:17lower
50:19and we actually get past like maybe
50:216940,
50:22we may start to see some speed.
50:25Maybe.
50:27And then potentially an opportunity.
50:29Either continuation or reversal, but
50:31just something.
50:33But as
50:35as long as we're like right here in this
50:37area
50:40I'm trying to see if we can first get
50:41past this, but the broader area is here
50:45where we keep
50:46keep getting
50:48stopped, right? This whole area.
50:58So, yeah. It's kind of what what I'm
50:59waiting for us to get past right now.
51:13You've never seen profit on live streams
51:16from him and he's always just posting
51:17that he's in profit.
51:19Sheesh.
51:21And he's charging people.
51:23Sheesh.
51:31Dude, I just feel like if I charged
51:33people to watch me stream and I know
51:35that people are like relying on my
51:37trades, like
51:39as a little
51:40you go on a losing streak, dude. Oof.
51:44Everyone hates you.
51:46They're paying you money to help them
51:47lose.
51:49Yeah.
51:50I don't know about that one.
51:55I think it's better if it's just free
51:57and then it's just like
51:59if I lose, like sorry.
52:01You know.
52:03It's not like you're paying me for this,
52:05so.
52:07We're good.
52:19Although realistically, if you guys
52:20watch my streams, I always say this, but
52:22I'm going to say it again is not
52:24financial advice and you should not be
52:25taking my trades.
52:27Especially
52:28if you guys see me trading an eval
52:31>> [snorts]
52:33>> if you ever see these these numbers
52:35right here or these letters
52:38go from yellow to white
52:41do not copy my trades.
52:44Because I trade evals like a degenerate.
52:48I basically just coin flip them.
52:51And then I just full port them.
52:53I'll blow a lot of them.
52:55Like I'm net positive this month, not by
52:57a lot, by like
52:59it's pretty bad. I'mma be real. This
53:01month I'm probably only up like $1,500
53:04and uh from money in money out, which is
53:06[ __ ] dog [ __ ]
53:09But I've blown like [laughter] I've
53:11blown probably like 30 evals this month.
53:15So.
53:17Yeah, I full port them. I blow accounts,
53:19so.
53:21That's why sometimes I'm like
53:25yeah, this this month's been pretty
53:27tough for me. It's it's probably the
53:29worst month I've had in a in a long
53:30time.
53:32But um
53:36what's it called?
53:38Sometimes I I wonder if I should even be
53:40streaming when I'm trading my evals
53:42because I know there's somebody who's
53:44going to hop on stream and be like, "Oh,
53:46he's taking a trade. Let me take the
53:47trade." And then it's like
53:50it's like some random
53:52full port gamble that I take to just
53:55like try and catch 60 ticks with five
53:57minis or something. You know what I
53:59mean?
54:00Like that's not a real trade. It's just
54:01like a gamble.
54:05And then I would hate to have people
54:06like
54:07copying that on a on an account that
54:09they actually care about.
54:22You'll get it.
54:24You'll get it. 1,500 a month. I mean, in
54:27all reality, like yeah, I know like I
54:29say it's a terrible month because for me
54:32kind of is, but um
54:37you know, basically majority of the prop
54:39firm space is not going to make a single
54:40dollar this this month.
54:43But
54:44you don't I mean, I don't compare
54:47you can't compare yourself to other
54:48people. So, if if I'm usually doing
54:50better than that, okay, well then
54:52better than how this month is, well then
54:54this month is a shitty month, you know.
54:57But yeah, if you lock in, if you're
54:59locked in, you're collecting data
55:01and you are exercising a little bit of
55:03some self-control
55:05and not being an idiot in an idiot and
55:07you're using proper size
55:09I think you should be all right.
55:16That's really the biggest thing for a
55:18lot of people is they just have zero
55:19self-control.
55:21And then they go, "Oh, it's the
55:22strategy."
55:23Nah, dude. You're just a [ __ ]
55:36What amplified your trading? Money man.
55:43Uh going live. You know what? You know
55:45what going live actually does for me
55:47though is like
55:50yeah, when I'm trading in front of
55:52people
55:53um
55:54I obviously don't want to look like an
55:56idiot and I know that there are people
55:57who are taking my trades. So, I am more
56:00careful and then I will like take less
56:03random
56:04like shots.
56:07And then it helps me not tilt too
56:10sometimes.
56:11Because
56:13it's really easy to tilt you know, like
56:15behind yeah, behind closed doors. Like
56:18no one's watching me.
56:20Like I could just be an idiot, you know
56:21what I mean? Who's going to judge me?
56:23But
56:24if I have a responsibility, right? And
56:27things change, so it kind of helps me
56:28out. So, like sometimes I don't want to
56:30stream
56:32because to be honest
56:34there's nothing better than just like
56:35throwing in some headphones listening to
56:38some music and just kind of locking in
56:40and not having to focus on anything.
56:42But there are benefits to live streaming
56:44or at least like recording your trades
56:46and posting them.
56:49Cuz before live streaming, I used to
56:50just post YouTube shorts of my trades
56:52regardless of win or lose and they kind
56:54of did the same thing.
57:02Yeah.
57:04Dude.
57:06Sean, we we came a long way from a
57:09couple years ago. We came a long way
57:11from a couple years ago. I'll say that.
57:14Couple years ago, I was an idiot.
57:26This Discord was a mess. What do you
57:28mean by that?
57:30Hey. What do you mean?
57:34>> [laughter]
57:37>> Yeah, there are there were a lot of
57:38different people.
57:42Seven uh I don't know if that's that if
57:44that's this Discord. I don't know if
57:45there were seven men Well, actually
57:51Nah, I don't think there was ever seven
57:53mentors in here.
57:58I don't know. You you might have us
57:59confused with with a different uh
58:02different Discord.
58:06There is one There is one guy in here
58:09who is a great trader who sends his
58:11signals and his analysis all the time
58:13and if you guys don't uh pay attention
58:16to it, you should. His name is Futures
58:17Trader. He has his own channel. He's a
58:19great trader.
58:20He trades full-time.
58:23Nice guy. Cool guy.
58:33Uh
58:35yeah, well
58:39we tried to clean it up a little bit.
58:45See, the thing is is when this when
58:47so
58:48the Discord was started
58:51by the king
58:53spaghetti.
58:54He He is the owner and the creator
58:58of this Discord.
59:00The purpose of this Discord in the very
59:02beginning, like 2 years ago
59:06is we
59:08we all used to be in a different Discord
59:12and then it like disbanded. Like the
59:14Discord fell apart. So, then Eddie went
59:16and made his own Discord.
59:18And then we all kind of just like
59:20like a maybe 100 people 100 to 200
59:23people joined it.
59:25And then
59:26we were all kind of trading like
59:29either ICT or like supply and demand,
59:32basically.
59:35And then, yeah, they try to throw us in
59:38some other Discord with like 40,000
59:40people, and it was just like a
59:43[ __ ] show. I'm not going to say what
59:44what Discord it was, but that Discord
59:46was an absolute [ __ ] show, so.
59:49So, then
59:51we like
59:54we had this Discord with like 200 people
59:55in it.
59:56And then, I started making content.
1:00:00And then, because I make order flow
1:00:02content, and I'm like promoting the
1:00:04Discord,
1:00:05well, now you
1:00:07you know, we have people in here. A lot
1:00:08of them aren't even active, but there's
1:00:10like almost 1,400 people in here now,
1:00:12which is pretty cool.
1:00:14And obviously, if I'm the one who's like
1:00:17making content, and I trade order flow,
1:00:19then the byproduct of that is in this
1:00:21Discord, you're going to start seeing
1:00:22more people who trade order flow.
1:00:24And
1:00:26the problem in the beginning, right, is
1:00:27like let's say I'm teaching order flow,
1:00:30and then someone's like, "Oh, he's got a
1:00:31Discord. I want to learn order flow."
1:00:33And then they go join, but then no one
1:00:35trades order flow except for me.
1:00:37We had a lot of people kind of like
1:00:39leaving and stuff, but now there's more
1:00:40people here who trade order flow. But,
1:00:41you have a lot of great traders in this
1:00:43Discord, who
1:00:46trade whatever they trade. I mean, you
1:00:48don't have to trade order flow. Just It
1:00:49just so happens that like the people who
1:00:52are going to join are going to be
1:00:53interested in order flow just because of
1:00:54the content that I'm making.
1:00:57Dude, this is This is terrible right
1:00:59now.
1:01:00I'm
1:01:01I'm very happy
1:01:03I didn't try and short that.
1:01:13Dude, but you should have seen it. This
1:01:14This Discord went through like uh
1:01:17It went through this whole like for a
1:01:20little bit, we were we were all like on
1:01:22supply. Most of us were doing supply and
1:01:24demand. And then, we like met these
1:01:27dudes who like started talking about
1:01:30Goldbach. And
1:01:33and then we started talking about
1:01:34digital time theory.
1:01:36And then, we met a guy named Ten Tech,
1:01:40or like Tencent.
1:01:42He was Mr. Standard Deviation.
1:01:45And then everyone kind of just went off
1:01:46on their own thing, and like now
1:01:48everyone trades whatever they trade.
1:01:51And then like I just started bringing a
1:01:52bunch of people in here who trade order
1:01:53flow. Then now we're here Now we got Now
1:01:55we basically are turning into like a
1:01:57order flow Discord, in a way.
1:02:00But, um but yeah.
1:02:03Yeah, and then you got Money Man trading
1:02:05ICT. We all And then we were all hitting
1:02:07on ICT.
1:02:12Yeah, dude. Honestly though,
1:02:14like when we have those large Asia
1:02:16sessions, my baseline expectation for
1:02:18New York is for it to kind of be on
1:02:20[ __ ]
1:02:22The best way that I like to see like
1:02:25like when it comes to sessions and
1:02:26session behavior, whenever we have these
1:02:28large ranges, I would say probably like
1:02:3080% of the time,
1:02:32it's just like
1:02:36it's kind of like not as directional.
1:02:38The best thing that I like to like
1:02:41the best type of session behaviors that
1:02:43I like is basically you have
1:02:47a smaller Asia session, right? Then you
1:02:49have a London session that will then
1:02:53expand. It's like a little bit bigger,
1:02:55takes out one side, leaves London lows,
1:02:57leaves Asia lows. We're in a bearish
1:02:59bias. New York opens up, takes London
1:03:02highs, and drops down like this.
1:03:04Right? Takes London lows, takes Asia
1:03:06lows, and then we try and catch this
1:03:08move. So, you have like the initial
1:03:10balance, the first probe of
1:03:14um
1:03:15liquidity or highs and lows, and then
1:03:17the true resolution or distribution of
1:03:19New York. Now, sometimes it'll just like
1:03:21go in the same direction, right? Or
1:03:22maybe it'll like drop down first, and
1:03:24then go in the same direction. But,
1:03:26regardless, it's just like I prefer Asia
1:03:30session to be smaller, and actually
1:03:32create like a smaller initial balance of
1:03:35the day,
1:03:36um or range, I guess is the better word.
1:03:40And then,
1:03:41um
1:03:42it's like a better
1:03:43better session profile that usually
1:03:45results in a better New York session.
1:03:48When we have these like larger
1:03:50Asia ranges,
1:03:52um a lot of the times we may tell like
1:03:55as you saw, we came up here and we took
1:03:57like Asia highs, basically, or yeah.
1:04:00But, a lot of the times it may just
1:04:02result in us like having an inside
1:04:05session inside of this
1:04:07uh larger range. Now, that doesn't
1:04:10always happen,
1:04:11but
1:04:14I keep it in mind when we head into
1:04:16[music] New York.
1:04:24So, like today, what I wanted to see
1:04:27what I was planning on is when we were
1:04:30up here, I was doing my daily outlook.
1:04:33I was looking for us actually come down,
1:04:35test the extremes of this range, maybe
1:04:39even take Asia lows, but
1:04:41I was going to be like somewhere in this
1:04:43area is essentially where I was going to
1:04:45be looking for
1:04:47I guess like here.
1:04:49Potential longs to come back up into
1:04:50this
1:04:52range.
1:04:54But then off market open, you know,
1:04:56we're failing to
1:04:57push lower here. We made an attempt to
1:05:00go higher. We took Asia highs, and now
1:05:02we're kind of just balancing out again,
1:05:03so And not only that, but we're heading
1:05:06closer into, you know, lunch hours,
1:05:09and we see volume tapering off, so
1:05:13it's kind of like might just chalk it up
1:05:15and be like, "Ah,
1:05:17here we go again, you know, we'll
1:05:18[ __ ]
1:05:20try it again tomorrow."
1:05:24Good thing I Good thing I was sitting at
1:05:25my computer when Asia made that move
1:05:28uh last night, and I was able to catch
1:05:30some of it.
1:05:33Otherwise, today just would have been a
1:05:34wo kind of a waste of time.
1:05:40Yeah, with the gamma level down here.
1:05:41So, if we're looking like So, this is
1:05:43what I was looking at, right? If you see
1:05:46this down here,
1:05:48this put wall. So, right now we're
1:05:50basically rotating in between the gamma
1:05:52flip level. Like we're just kind of
1:05:54[ __ ] around.
1:05:56Down here, it It's not that I'm
1:05:57necessarily looking for an automatic
1:05:59bounce off of this level, but we do have
1:06:02like the second highest absolute gex,
1:06:04the net uh
1:06:07put open interest, put open interest,
1:06:08absolute open interest, and then net put
1:06:10volume
1:06:11all sitting right here at the put wall.
1:06:13So, it's like a
1:06:15you got a stacked level right here, so
1:06:18you What I wanted to see us do is come
1:06:20down to that level, and then I was going
1:06:22to be watching order flow to determine,
1:06:24right, like
1:06:26are we actually going to
1:06:28um
1:06:30accept past it. Now, if we accepted past
1:06:32this area, then I would imagine that we
1:06:35could have a potential scenario where we
1:06:36actually start to drop with some speed.
1:06:39But,
1:06:40there is also, of course, the potential
1:06:42that we can bounce off of an area like
1:06:43this.
1:06:45So, I was had my eyes on that.
1:06:46Unfortunately, we're kind of just
1:06:48fizzling out right here.
1:06:53Hard to trade Asia session.
1:06:56We just got to be patient.
1:06:58You know.
1:07:02A lot of times during New York, I may
1:07:03only sit in a position for
1:07:06>> [snorts]
1:07:07>> anywhere from 30 seconds to
1:07:10maybe 30 minutes.
1:07:12Asia session, I'm prepared to sit in
1:07:14that thing for hours if I take a trade.
1:07:18And also,
1:07:20there's like times during Asia where
1:07:22it's probably better to trade and better
1:07:24to not trade. I would recommend Eastern
1:07:27times if you are going to trade Asia
1:07:29session for whatever gold or um
1:07:33gold or NQ is like we obviously get that
1:07:36first spike of volatility right at CME
1:07:38open, but realistically, the cleanest
1:07:40moves for Asia will probably come around
1:07:43like 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. Eastern time.
1:07:48Somewhere around there. And then as we
1:07:49get closer towards like midnight Eastern
1:07:52time, it kind of sometime sometimes it
1:07:54will like fizzle out. Then you got
1:07:56London.
1:07:58Yeah. So, if I do trade Asia,
1:08:02if it's if it's
1:08:03some crazy news that came out over the
1:08:05weekend,
1:08:07and we have a crazy volatile CME open, I
1:08:10will trade CME open.
1:08:12I'll be careful about it, but I'll try
1:08:14it.
1:08:17But, if we
1:08:18um
1:08:19if we just have like a normal day, kind
1:08:20of like what we did yesterday,
1:08:23where we opened up, I just waited, and
1:08:25then right when I started taking this
1:08:27trade, it was basically 16:50. What is
1:08:30that? Eight? No.
1:08:33Four.
1:08:35It was like right at 8:00 p.m. Right at
1:08:378:00 p.m. See, like this happened like
1:08:39basically right at 8:00 p.m.
1:08:41Eastern time.
1:08:44Let me let's go look at over here.
1:08:50Like this move, this all started like
1:08:51right at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time.
1:08:54I mean, we had a little bit of it right
1:08:55here, but
1:08:57but yeah.
1:08:59Cuz sometimes right off the open of CME,
1:09:01we'll just there are times where we just
1:09:03kind of
1:09:05do a whole lot of nothing.
1:09:10We are rotating back up into this range.
1:09:16Now we're in the middle of it,
1:09:17basically.
1:09:21So far, there has been really nothing
1:09:23for me to take this morning, except for
1:09:24that premarket short that went like 100
1:09:27ticks in profit and then came back.
1:09:29Well, actually it went
1:09:33I got in like right here on the funded
1:09:35account.
1:09:38But I got out at break even.
1:09:40This one went like
1:09:4340 points in profit before it came back.
1:09:46And then my entry on this one was like
1:09:48down here on the live account.
1:09:51Uh they went like 40 points in profit
1:09:54and then snapped back on me.
1:10:25If you need 2,300 to pass
1:10:28and you have 2,300 drawdown.
1:10:34Well,
1:10:36the correct answer to that is you should
1:10:39just trade it normally and then try and
1:10:40pass it normally, but
1:10:43who are we kidding? If it was me,
1:10:51we're seeing some action.
1:10:58Risk 2,300 and make 2,300 times.
1:11:03Not bad. Not a bad idea.
1:11:14All right. Well,
1:11:15this is a no trade session for me.
1:11:18We didn't come into anywhere I wanted to
1:11:21take a trade except for when I tried to
1:11:23go short pre-market.
1:11:25So, yeah, this may like slowly make its
1:11:28way up here. It may come up here and
1:11:29then rotate.
1:11:31But I think I am going to go eat some
1:11:35breakfast and
1:11:37um
1:11:39save my money.
1:11:41I mean, I need to grow this account.
1:11:42It's pretty
1:11:44it's a ba- it's a baby account right
1:11:45now. Look at this. It's got $200 in the
1:11:47balance. So,
1:11:52I'm up 400.
1:11:54I definitely don't want to lose money in
1:11:56these conditions right now. I'd rather
1:11:57not.
1:11:58So, I'm just going to call it a day.
1:12:01And I may or may not trade off stream.
1:12:06I may or may not trade off stream.
1:12:11So, yeah.
1:12:13All right.
1:12:14Later. I'll catch you guys tomorrow.
1:12:16Tomorrow I'll be on prop for a match.
1:12:18So, peace.
