0:14Yo,
0:22what
0:44Morning
0:48two. Why is Lucid doing this to me?
1:07Bro, Lucid is saying like that I'm using
1:10a bot or something.
1:28Yeah, dude. I don't know. They're like,
1:30um, so they keep disconnecting my
1:32rhythmic connection.
1:34So like every morning I can't log into
1:37my Lucid accounts
1:43and then I hit them up and then like I h
1:45it happened on Friday.
1:49It happened on Friday and then I hit
1:51them up saying like, "Yo, can you guys
1:53fix this?" And then they fixed it on
1:56Friday and then again
2:00Today
2:02I couldn't log into the rhythmic
2:04account. So then I hit them up again and
2:06they're telling me like,
2:09"Oh yeah, we turned off your rhythmic
2:11connection because you were abusing the
2:14API using uh a trading bot." Like what?
2:20No, I was not, sir.
2:32So, I Yeah, I didn't even know that
2:34Lucid even has an API.
2:38>> So, I don't know,
2:43bro. Yeah, they just don't like me.
2:47Just don't like me. I guess
2:51it's weird.
3:08No, they didn't ban me, but
3:11they're just [ __ ] making it
3:12difficult.
3:47So hopefully they don't they don't like
3:50because I have two active accounts with
3:52them. They're not funded. They're just
3:53evals. But
3:58>> yeah, New York's probably going to be
3:59pretty nasty this morning.
4:12>> Yeah. Hopefully that Lucid thing gets
4:14sorted out cuz I I hit him back, bro. I
4:17was like
4:20I was like I don't use the API and I
4:23definitely don't use a trading bot.
4:29It's [ __ ] weird.
4:56I got to pass this e out today.
5:05>> Good morning. What up,
5:09>> deuce? You better not do what you did on
5:11Friday, bro. Please just take your time.
5:21Now my profer is all manual like CSV
5:24inputs.
5:52I am kind of expecting um this morning
5:55to be pretty gross. What I'm watching at
5:57what I'm looking at this morning is up
5:59here
6:00the uh HVL and the C in the call wall
6:04between 910 and 950.
6:06It's kind of like I'm watching if we're
6:08going to actually get past this or
6:11rotate back towards the P1.
6:16Well, I'm going to use top step, but
6:22I need I don't know $700.
6:27Pass it.
6:36scout that today. Although I am slightly
6:38worried about
6:42all this like random spikes of
6:45volatility that keep popping out every
6:47morning or all morning so far. We had
6:51this nasty move down and then it pop
6:53back up.
7:00I hope Lucid fixes their thing so that I
7:03can
7:05trade those accounts today.
7:13I hope they don't ban me for something I
7:15didn't do.
7:45Let me go look at it real quick.
7:48Yeah, bro.
7:56I'll fix that [ __ ]
8:07All right. Anyways,
8:10so yeah, this morning
8:13I'm going to trade this Eval. We have
8:18some war news happening pre-market.
8:21We had a large drop
8:25due to
8:28some news coming out saying that a US
8:31thing got hit with some missiles and
8:32then they denied it. So then we just
8:35retraced this entire move down and then
8:38they said something about opening the
8:39straight. We're getting a little bit of
8:42volatility spikes.
8:44Kind of a
8:46kind of a sketchy uh
8:50sketchy morning. It's a big week. It's
8:51the first week of the month. So, you
8:53know, we have all of our big red folder
8:55news this week. We got Jolts and
8:58like NFP and stuff, I'm pretty sure.
9:00Right.
9:05We have NFP this week, right? Yeah.
9:07Yeah, we got NFP.
9:12So, and for whatever reason, my rhythmic
9:16connect, dude, there's this problem with
9:19Atas X. Okay, like Atas X, the new one,
9:23they
9:25every once in a while my rhythmic
9:27connection through my live account
9:29sometimes like
9:31just doesn't connect.
9:34So then I don't have all the DOM levels.
9:37But what they did do is they added the
9:40heat map for me which is chill. So I got
9:45to test that out later.
9:48I got the new heat map. I thought I was
9:50going to have to wait until the 19th of
9:52May, but
9:54we got it.
9:58So, this morning I'm watching
10:00right here. If we push up,
10:06my eyes are on here.
10:15We are still very much bullish on the
10:17higher time frames.
10:24But
10:25we move up into here and we fail to
10:27actually
10:30go higher then I'm expecting us to
10:32rotate back lower towards
10:35just kind of be in this range at least
10:37take these lows in the event that we
10:39start
10:44in the event that we start getting above
10:46um the call wall here
10:50at 950.
10:54Then I am watching I'll I'll be watching
10:57for us to continue higher into price
10:58discovery and probably come I mean for
11:00sure past 28,000 but probably up here
11:04towards uh 28,80
11:07or 75
11:31Yeah, last week last week I uh
11:35>> I took a break from the live streams.
11:41I got my ass handed to me last month,
11:43dude. So,
11:46I need to take a breather for a second.
11:54The gray box mean
11:57what gray box?
12:00Which gray box are we looking at?
12:04Oh, this this gray box.
12:08This is uh my sessions indicator or a
12:12sessions indicator, not my sessions
12:14indicator, but
12:20basically just shows me I I mean I have
12:22it set for the times that I want, but
12:24this is I treat this is my New York
12:26session, which yes, I understand that
12:29it's dry in the box before New York
12:31actually opened up, but
12:34I have it taken to account pre-market.
12:37So the gray box is uh New York. This one
12:42is London. This one is Asia for the
12:45times that I set for it.
12:51Today I'm probably going to be a little
12:53careful just due to um
13:02the news going on.
13:10If I if I can just um
13:14pass this uh pass this account, we
13:17should be okay.
13:19Won't be a bad day. And then I need to
13:23fix that stuff with Lucid. I don't know
13:25how I can prove to them that I'm not
13:27using a trading bot, but
13:31I'm going to be I'm honestly going to be
13:33devastated if they [ __ ] ban me for
13:35using a trading bot and I'm not even
13:37using a trading bot. That'd be crazy
13:41because like for the past like
13:45past week I've been having issues. They
13:47never told me why. They just would
13:49reconnect my rhythmic and then like
13:51finally today they were like, "Oh, it
13:53was because you You're abusing the API
13:55with a bot. I'm like, what?
13:59Not true.
14:28So, if we push up right now, we'll be
14:30watching this area up here.
14:48Oh, I think they got back to me. See
14:50what they said.
14:55They said they're going to
14:58get with their technical team and take a
15:00closer look.
15:02Closer look,
15:07bro. Stop [ __ ] with me, dude.
15:14Closer look. I wonder what it is that
15:16made them think I was using a bot. Like,
15:18what the hell?
15:25I don't even do any type of high
15:26frequency trading or anything.
16:12Yo, Eddie,
16:14can you do me a favor and can you uh
16:17record Tanuki while I'm streaming?
16:21Thanks, bro.
16:46All
17:01right. So far, this first five minute
17:03candle has been pretty nasty. We're kind
17:05of like we kind of opened up right
17:07around the gamma flip level and then we
17:09have some stack levels right here.
17:17785 and
17:22865
17:23870.
17:30So right here,
17:35right here.
17:44So I just want to make sure we're not
17:46about to just like do some nasty
17:48whiplash right here.
18:11Let's see if my my rhythmic connection
18:13is working
18:17for my live account.
19:00No,
19:02it's tweaking.
19:10I'm probably going to wait for us to get
19:11out of this area, honestly.
19:25So,
19:32>> I just I have a feeling right now that
19:34we're going to just kind of mess around
19:35in here. Unless we break lower, we start
19:38approaching up here. I'm probably going
19:40to just like chill for a sec.
19:45I'm train this eval.
19:48I need like 700 bucks.
19:52Probably use
19:57probably use like one mini.
20:02One to two minis.
20:06Probably two minis honestly.
20:10Just try and cap capture like 70 ticks
20:13or something.
21:33Let me mark out this area.
21:49This is the official don't touch this
21:53zone for me.
22:09Do we have any news today, by the way?
22:14Nope. Oh, we have factory orders.
22:18That's probably not going to do
22:19anything.
22:26Yeah, US uh factory orders month over
22:30month.
22:32I guess they'll just understand it's
22:34there. But I don't really think that's
22:36going to do much.
22:56But yeah, like last uh last month while
22:59I was streaming,
23:01the reason why I had to stop streaming
23:03for a week is because honestly like
23:09it kind of start messing with my
23:11execution a little bit
23:14cuz sometimes I'm sitting here, right,
23:16and we're kind of just like sitting
23:18here. It gets boring
23:22and like I try to make it not boring. So
23:24sometimes I like force a trade
23:27and the mo the moment I realized I was
23:29doing that just for the sake of not
23:32having a stream where I just sit here
23:34and do nothing. I had to stop because
23:39the end of the day, you know, sometimes
23:40we just got to sit here and not do
23:41anything. So
23:45moving forward, I don't give a I don't I
23:47honestly don't give a [ __ ] if it's
23:48boring. Like that's just how it is. You
23:51know what I mean?
23:58Uh, I got to stop doing that
24:06because some of the conditions we've
24:08been having, they're just like no trade
24:10conditions for me. Like right now,
24:12right, this is a no trade condition
24:13currently.
24:24two trades last week. That's pretty
24:25good.
24:36Yeah. Plus, I also have to be pretty
24:38careful because
24:43I got to get some funded accounts again.
24:48I [ __ ] him up,
24:50dude. There was like three or four times
24:52last month where I was literally like
24:54eligible for a payout where I was on
24:56like the fifth day,
24:59but they were small payouts. They were
25:01only like for like 1,200 bucks,
25:04like two grand, but it was like three or
25:07four times, right?
25:09And then I just tried to get a bigger
25:11payout and then I just blew the accounts
25:14and I just got hella frustrated.
25:18and just [ __ ] compounded the tilt
25:21until I basically like last month I'm I
25:24was net positive but dude I only made
25:26like $800. It was [ __ ] sad
25:31after fees. I only pulled like $3,000 in
25:33payouts.
25:38I avoid trading what in general do you
25:41avoid trading if price is inside value?
25:44Not necessarily.
25:46Just if I can see that
25:49it's on [ __ ] Like what do I mean by
25:52price being on [ __ ] Well, a lot of
25:55the times when you have like a very
25:56large move pre-market or overnight,
26:00at least with the
26:05Oh, hold on.
26:10Lucid said they fixed it.
26:13BR.
26:18You guys did not fix it.
26:24Oh, they fixed it.
26:28All right, let me connect it to my ATS,
26:34bro. Like, what the [ __ ] You're going
26:35to tell me I'm using a bot? Get out of
26:37here.
26:39Why is it not working on this?
26:46So, what what I mean by um
26:54Oh, there we go. Now we're connected.
26:57>> Oh, now it disconnected,
27:00bro.
27:03So, this is what I mean. So, like let's
27:06say we open up, right? When we push up,
27:11we First of all, the volume is pretty
27:13low right now for You guys can't really
27:16see this. Let me move it up. The volume
27:18is pretty low right now for an open. We
27:20have 37,2721.
27:23That's actually pretty low. Typically on
27:26MNQ, what I see at the open is the first
27:3015 minutes. Each fiveminute candle will
27:32usually have anywhere between like, you
27:34know, mid30,000
27:36to sometimes up to 50 to 60,000
27:40contracts traded.
27:42So when volume is low or lower than
27:48usual, it's the first kind of red flag
27:50for me to be like, "All right, let's
27:52just kind of chill here for a second."
27:55And then when you see this like where we
27:58keep making we keep attempting to push
28:01in a direction and then the effort is
28:04not resulting in actual price movement
28:06and we're actually in between two major
28:08stack levels in terms of gamma right
28:10now. So there is a chance being right
28:12around HBO
28:14with low volume watching aggression not
28:18result in actual price movement that we
28:20could kind of just like
28:23do that right. So until I'm proven wrong
28:26otherwise meaning like until we actually
28:28start moving somewhere
28:31then just wait
28:33and just chill.
28:36And if we do this all morning, well then
28:38no trade.
28:44>> Implement any new objective rules? Well,
28:47I don't need to implement new rules. I
28:49just got to like
28:52just like
28:55not force not force any trades just for
28:59the sake of a live stream or content.
29:10because like I make content, right? So,
29:11I want to like take trades, show the
29:13trades I take,
29:16live stream for you guys,
29:19you know what I mean?
29:22But unfortunately, like
29:27>> a lot of these days or a lot of the days
29:29last month really should have been no
29:31trade days.
29:36And just because we move into a new
29:37month and it's like, "Oh, it's May. This
29:39is May price action." Well, it doesn't
29:42really work like that. We're still going
29:43to be doing the same thing until we
29:45stop. So,
29:49>> gota just I' I'd rather sit here,
29:53wake up every morning, sit here, hop on
29:56stream, do daily outlook analysis, send
29:59it in the [ __ ] Discord, and then just
30:02sit here and do nothing if it doesn't
30:04show anything for me to do rather than
30:07like
30:10just force some random [ __ ] So, so far
30:14like this morning, right, my daily
30:16outlook or my plan was I want to see
30:18what happens up here. So, we're not up
30:20here yet. So, don't do anything.
31:05I will say that we are pretty bullish.
31:08So,
31:09makes me less inclined to want to try
31:11and short something, but
31:14we'll see.
31:35I'm slightly handicapped right now
31:37because
31:39I don't have the DOM levels.
31:42I don't know why my uh
31:48rhythmic connection isn't working with
31:50my live account.
31:53Well, I do know why. It's because ATAS X
31:55has like issues. I could probably, now
31:58that I think about it, I could probably
32:00close this, open the old ATS, and then
32:02probably work.
32:09We're chill. We're chill.
32:47Good luck, Mr. Joseph.
32:52I don't know what you're in, but I hope
32:54it goes whatever way you're trying to
32:56have it go.
33:36Do I usually come in with a bias? Yeah,
33:41higher time frame is bullish.
33:47We're at alltime high basically. So,
33:54I'm watching this level, though. This is
33:57basically where in my daily outlook that
34:00I sent in the Discord where I said I'm
34:03watching this area to see if we're
34:05actually going to get past it
34:07or not. We get past it, then I'm
34:10expecting us to come up here into the
34:1228,000s.
34:14If we don't get past it,
34:17then I'm expecting us to potentially
34:19have just like
34:21we do something like this.
34:25I'm watching down here, too, though.
34:36But yeah, usually anytime there's a
34:38large move pre-market or a large move
34:40from the overnight,
34:42I usually
34:44I'm a little more cautious when it comes
34:46to New York open.
35:04Plus, like where did we open? Right? If
35:07if you were to mark this out, by the
35:09way, like let's just say from this high
35:11to this low,
35:15we're opening right right around the
35:17midpoint of this whole like area,
35:25which is not ideal.
36:26Dude, I traded this this uh combine. I
36:29traded it a little bit last night,
36:31right? That's like where the profits
36:32came from.
36:34Um
36:37actually,
36:39it was at like 1,400. I needed like a
36:41hundred more dollars and I took a
36:44negative riskreward trade and it [ __ ]
36:47lost like
36:49it lost it lost like 500 bucks.
36:54I was risking 500 to try and make a $100
36:56and it just didn't work out.
37:02But it's all right.
37:28D I'm kind of stoked though. I got the
37:29new heat map on a once my data starts
37:33working. I'm about to set that up.
37:35Say goodbye to this one. I'm going to
37:37replace it.
37:42It's going to be like I have bookmap
37:43again. It's been a long time since I've
37:45had bookmap.
37:48And honestly, Atas's like old uh their
37:52old heat map um really isn't the best,
37:57but I mean it does it does it job, you
37:59know,
38:01but
38:04I just saw that they gave me access to
38:06it today.
38:09So, we're going to set that up later.
38:39I will I will say though if this if this
38:42new hourly candle opens up
38:46and we don't increase participation
38:50meaning like there's
38:52we don't have like sustain an increase
38:54in volume or we start doing anything
38:57then
38:59you know if we stay in here after the
39:02new 4 hour
39:05I think it would be the smartest
39:06decision for the way that I trade to
39:08just literally
39:12do something
39:46All of these large transactions
39:48happening inside of this area without
39:50any price progression is just kind kind
39:52Nasty.
40:16And as long as we stay in here,
40:20if you're a breakout trader, I would be
40:22careful.
41:21Dude, I don't know what happened, but
41:22last night
41:25I don't know if I slept weird or
41:26something. My neck is all [ __ ] up.
41:31[ __ ] hurts to look this way.
41:44Yeah, it moved up to um
41:48HBO.
41:52I think we probably do come up here
41:54though.
42:03Maybe at the hourly,
42:07the 4hour open.
42:28We have very low volume right now.
42:46Damn, Joseph. Rookie mistake, dude.
42:50It's a rookie mistake.
43:04No, I'm just messing with you.
43:12The market's trying to trick me right
43:14now. It knows that I'm I only need 700
43:17bucks, 600 bucks to pass this account.
43:21It's trying to convince me to trade it
43:23in the chop. I'm not going to fall for
43:25it today.
43:54All right, let's see what happens when
43:57we come up into this area.
44:25is recorded on two separate
44:33simultaneous separate
44:35The sounds are blended together.
45:22also
45:25Alpha Futures has their new plans
45:27currently 25% off of Code Thrax. Had to
45:29put that plug in there. The shameless
45:31plug.
45:33I'm probably going to buy some this
45:35week. Premium
45:39seems pretty chill.
45:46It's better. It's better than top steps
45:47plan right now. Say that.
46:28dude. I hope I hope I hope hope you guys
46:30aren't just getting wrecked trying to
46:32trade this right now.
46:34Or if you did get an entry, I hope you
46:37got a fire one.
46:56Then again, this really wasn't that big.
46:58What was it like 100 points?
47:0350 points. Yeah, you could have easily
47:04had a normal stop loss
47:07and not gotten taken out.
47:16Yeah.
47:32Heat.
47:55Joseph,
47:57are you going to take the orb? The orb
47:59belongs?
48:03Yeah, I'm on the test platform.
48:11Oh, you already did. What? What orb do
48:13you trade?
48:17Five minute orb or something? 10 minute
48:20orb.
48:2610 minute.
48:30All right.
49:11We're going to get started. stuck in
49:12here. Yeah, this PA is nasty, dude. If
49:15we're going to get stuck in here all
49:16morning, um
49:21we might have a we might have a nice
49:23move during launch or PM,
49:26but
49:34I don't know if we keep doing this for a
49:35while.
49:42probably just gonna not touch it
49:47because I can right now I can I can hear
49:51the cries and the pain of agony coming
49:54from all the
49:57all the prop firm traders
50:01getting whooped right now.
50:05And then and then I can I can hear uh
50:09all the complaints about price action
50:11happening right now.
50:19But you know what? If we sit here,
50:23you got to think about it like this,
50:24right? If we sit here and we see that
50:27this is happening
50:30and most of us are probably sitting here
50:32being like, "Gross.
50:35Price action is gross, right? Well,
50:42you don't have to trade it. You know
50:44what I mean?
50:49Good thing we have free will
50:53today. We We should exercise that free
50:55will.
50:58Unless you unless you're like uh you
51:00know scalping a I don't know, some type
51:03of scalp.
51:06strat where you're like able to trade
51:09well on the chop
51:11and you're probably killing it.
51:19But that is not to me. That's what
51:22you're trying to do. You're trying to
51:23scalp it. Not a bad idea if you do it
51:26the right way.
51:36It would be different though, like if we
51:37were rotating or we were balanced where
51:39we had defined highs and lows, like it
51:41would be a little bit easier for me to
51:42try and fade something. But it's kind of
51:44messy where there's not really like um
51:48defined highs or lows for this like
51:50range here.
51:52And then we're kind of just like slowly
51:55grinding up. And then you see all these
51:58sellers coming in, right? They're trying
52:00to push lower. Trying to push lower.
52:02Trying to push lower. They're failing to
52:04actually get anywhere.
52:11That is gross.
52:27My heart goes out to anyone who was in
52:29the lungs right there. Stop.
52:34>> Yeah. Let's go see if there was anything
52:36that happened there.
52:40>> Yeah. Someone pull up True Social.
52:51You know what? Maybe I'll take some time
52:53and figure out a way where I can
52:57scrape truth social like every
53:02have him email me his dude cuz I don't
53:05know. Let's go look at it.
53:26You didn't see he didn't post anything.
53:38>> I mean
53:45But Eddie, think about it like this,
53:47right? We've been having war news.
53:50We've been having war news all month,
53:52dude.
53:54You know what I mean?
54:01Like today, I mean,
54:07I don't know. I don't I wouldn't Me
54:11personally, I wouldn't necessarily
54:15ignore everything else and then stick
54:17with like a short bias because of some
54:19war war stuff because
54:23I mean like a perfect example of it is
54:25that one week where we just pushed up
54:27without a single pullback. It's probably
54:29somewhere over here.
54:32But um we had we had war news that
54:35entire time. Where was it? Right here.
54:38Right.
54:42This whole week, right, there was war
54:44news. Bombs were dropping
54:46talking about, "Oh, we had good talks.
54:48Baron goes, I never talked to you guys.
54:52Oh, we reject your deal. Blah blah blah.
54:54If you don't blah blah blah blah blah,
54:56the whole time we just pumped." It's
54:58like,
55:00you know, it's kind of sketchy
55:04market. Like, look at all this pressure.
55:08Okay, look at all of this. All these
55:10contracts traded.
55:14And where are we? Where are we? We're
55:16right back where we were right before
55:17that even happened in the first place.
55:20It's kind of gross.
55:26No, we're trying to push up again.
55:31It's pretty nasty.
55:46The only area I'm watching today
55:50right here.
55:52That is it.
55:59But I'm honestly leaning towards not
56:01even
56:04even touching it.
56:11Yeah, we did have this pre-market.
56:14We literally came all the We just
56:15retraced the the whole thing basically
56:19and then we had this pre-market. Then it
56:22came back up and then it like ran up
56:23like a 100 ticks really quick and then
56:25came back
56:28and now we're having this really nasty
56:30like
56:35We're getting buying pressure, but
56:41we'll see what happens up here. We're at
56:43the HBO.
56:45See if we take these highs. Come up into
56:47the call wall.
58:02So, we push up until the HVL, but we're
58:05not continuing anywhere
58:09yet.
58:11Yet,
58:15honestly, I have a feeling we're going
58:17to just like do this Slow nasty chop up.
58:32Not a single candle, five minute candle
58:35after the opening print has gotten over
58:3830,000 contracts traded inside of it on
58:40the micros for NQ MNQ.
58:51Then the hourly or the 4 hour opened up
58:52the 10 a.m. Eastern candle. Nothing
58:57really changed. Still doing the same
58:59thing.
59:06So like usually you know pre-market.
59:10Okay. What I was thinking was
59:16this area up here. I was going to be
59:18watching to see if we're going to accept
59:20or reject out of it. Right? If we get
59:22above
59:24950, then at that point, I'm expecting a
59:26continuation higher. But if we were to
59:28have come into this area and I see us
59:31having buyers get absorbed and then
59:33sellers start stepping in, I was
59:35actually going to go short. But
59:39I am not going to do that anymore. Why?
59:42Well, I'm not going to do it anymore
59:44because
59:46there's a very high chance at this point
59:48with the way this is moving that we
59:50could actually come up here. We could
59:52take this high. We could come up into
59:54the call wall. You can see absorption on
59:57footprint. You can see sellers start
59:59stepping in
1:00:02and you can try and short it, but it
1:00:04could just be like like in these types
1:00:06of like slower grinds up, right? It's
1:00:10dangerous sometimes if you're using
1:00:12absorption to look for a short because
1:00:13you're going to see absorption all
1:00:15throughout this move. But we're going to
1:00:17still continue to push higher.
1:00:24And plus, we need higher volume, too.
1:00:25The volume right now is kind of low.
1:00:29So, I just I feel like this is one of
1:00:31those days, right, where we're going to
1:00:33do a little bit of this. You're going to
1:00:35see absorption.
1:00:38You're going to see absorption happening
1:00:40and then
1:00:42you'll see these sellers come in and
1:00:44then they won't go anywhere. We'll just
1:00:46come back up and we'll just do it again.
1:00:47Absorption push down. Absorption push
1:00:51down. Absorption.
1:00:56>> Those days used to destroy my accounts
1:01:01and it's looking like it right now.
1:01:32Oh, wavy. That sucks, bro.
1:01:37Is Is the account gone or you still have
1:01:39it or what?
1:01:44>> Oh, dude, my neck. What did I do last
1:01:48night?
1:01:50All right, you still got it. It's chill.
1:01:52Oh,
1:01:55that's not that bad, dude.
1:01:59I would recommend,
1:02:02not financial advice.
1:02:05I would recommend not trying to make
1:02:08your money back right now.
1:02:20I don't know if this is a
1:02:23>> make my money back type of price action.
1:02:25This is kind of like a try and make my
1:02:27money back type of price action and then
1:02:29end up digging a deeper hole.
1:02:35>> Okay, it's not too bad. When you said
1:02:38you got cooked, I thought you like lost
1:02:40your account.
1:02:43You know what? It could always could
1:02:45always be worse.
1:03:12Do I think this was a valid place to
1:03:14long? No.
1:03:17Not the way that I trade.
1:03:20This is just noise. All of this, the way
1:03:22I look at all this right here, this
1:03:24entire all this
1:03:28noise. This is all noise.
1:03:39>> I mean, you know, we could have tried to
1:03:41go right here. Sure.
1:03:45There would be no scenario
1:03:47any day any time with the way that I
1:03:49trade that we would have been doing this
1:03:51off the open seen this and then I go
1:03:53long.
1:03:56This is just like a handsoff. This is
1:03:58like a don't touch this environment for
1:04:02me. It's like a
1:04:06no touch.
1:04:10But if you did go long right here and
1:04:12then you're making money right now,
1:04:14that's awesome.
1:04:28I mean, the way that
1:04:32Yeah. I mean, the way that I think about
1:04:33it is like this, right? It's Monday.
1:04:37got a lot of people who over the
1:04:39weekend, you know, they couldn't get a
1:04:42fix for their addiction of trading. So,
1:04:45first day back during the week, they're
1:04:47excited. They want to trade.
1:04:50They just ignore the fact that we're
1:04:52doing [ __ ] right now. And then they
1:04:54just keep trying to take trades.
1:04:57But it's like,
1:05:03this is not the last day you're ever
1:05:04going to trade.
1:05:06I hope not. But
1:05:11you know, if you have an account,
1:05:15you got capital or draw down in your
1:05:17account, would you rather use it on
1:05:20this?
1:05:22Do we want to use it on this or would we
1:05:25rather use it on something like, I don't
1:05:26know, maybe this, right?
1:05:32Or this. You know what I mean?
1:05:38But instead you got people who are just
1:05:40trying to use it in this.
1:05:43Why
1:05:47do we look at gold?
1:06:00Here.
1:06:05Here's the thing though about gold
1:06:07though. I trade gold. I just usually
1:06:09don't trade it during New York. Although
1:06:12sometimes pre-market I'll trade gold.
1:06:16I just usually don't trade it during New
1:06:17York. I usually trade it during Asia.
1:06:22Plus,
1:06:23I don't have a pre-market plan for gold.
1:06:26So, now I'll be sitting here trying to
1:06:27figure it out on the fly, which is
1:06:31Maybe not the best idea.
1:06:40I think it's uh it is it is making a
1:06:43move though.
1:06:55We missed it.
1:07:03So, like we're at the HVL, right? But
1:07:35I have a feeling it's going to do this.
1:07:38Why am I missing? Why am I missing data
1:07:40right here?
1:07:46Oh, that's weird.
1:08:09It's the high volume line. Basically,
1:08:12HVL is the gamma flip level
1:08:17where we go from negative territory
1:08:21positive territory.
1:08:26Do I use SMTs?
1:08:28>> No.
1:08:30>> Not that there's anything wrong with
1:08:31them.
1:08:33>> I just don't use it.
1:09:26All All right, let's see what this uh 15
1:09:29minute does. This is gonna
1:09:31going to give it one last chance. Do
1:09:34something.
1:09:36If we do nothing,
1:09:41then um
1:09:45just come back tomorrow.
1:10:00Did any of you guys besides Joseph, did
1:10:02any of you guys trade this
1:10:06>> and make money?
1:10:09No, I have not taken a single trade this
1:10:11entire time.
1:10:22We are exercising
1:10:27free will.
1:10:41Yeah, I did notice that uh JT that
1:10:46ES does look a lot a lot cleaner than
1:10:48NQ. I mean, they still both look pretty
1:10:51nasty. I'm going to be real. But at
1:10:54least this push up compared to NQ's like
1:10:57attemptive attempt to push up is
1:11:01a little clear.
1:11:06>> Waiting to fade the extremes.
1:11:09The extremes of what?
1:11:18Up here.
1:11:26What up, Christian?
1:12:08Damn. Yo, we should be trading right
1:12:09now, bro.
1:12:15Soybeans.
1:12:21Wasting my time on trade some soybeans.
1:12:27Dude, how much is it per tick with
1:12:28soybeans?
1:12:34What's live cattle doing right now?
1:12:42Nothing.
1:12:52Soy beans, dude.
1:13:05Looking at gold.
1:13:07I don't know.
1:13:12I don't I don't I don't uh I'm not
1:13:14feeling it. I'm not feeling gold.
1:13:18Well, silver is going to be very similar
1:13:20to gold,
1:13:25dude. I don't know. I haven't traded
1:13:26silver in a while.
1:13:31It's fun to trade though. It's also
1:13:34scary.
1:13:35Okay, we're pushing down off the HVL,
1:13:38but
1:13:40I just I don't know. I'm not really
1:13:42feeling it. Like,
1:13:58my game plan this morning was to
1:14:00basically watch for price to hit HBO or
1:14:03come up here to the wall and then look
1:14:07to see if we're going to reject or
1:14:09accept higher. But I just don't think
1:14:12it's a good idea to even
1:14:17even touch it.
1:14:26What do you mean we're not in the HVO
1:14:28range anymore?
1:14:35I'm looking at it on my screen. I see
1:14:38it.
1:14:40Oh, you're talking about this uh box.
1:14:43Yeah. Yeah.
1:14:47But you know what it's doing right now,
1:14:49Eddie? You see how Call, HVL, and P1 are
1:14:52all just they're
1:14:56they're st they're like creating this
1:14:58tight bracket.
1:15:02That's a
1:15:04I think I think it we we could compre
1:15:08compress
1:15:10just like oscillate around here. That's
1:15:13some BS
1:15:16when they bracket up like that.
1:15:20I don't think it's good.
1:15:38Like
1:15:40what I mean by bracket up is like so on
1:15:43a typical day, right?
1:15:50Let's look at it right here.
1:15:52Well, it just moved again because these
1:15:54are pretty close to each other. But
1:15:57when they're very when when they're
1:15:58literally like like if you were to go
1:16:00pull up QQQ, okay,
1:16:06when they're all one, like it's one
1:16:08point, right? Like let's say this is
1:16:09where the put wall was 675, then 676 is
1:16:14the flip, then 677 is the call wall. It
1:16:17creates this like very tight um
1:16:22square very tight rectangle I mean where
1:16:27it basically is like it's like a bracket
1:16:30right yeah
1:16:32and it can cause like at least last
1:16:34times it it's it does this what I look
1:16:37at is that it kind of just like
1:16:41compresses here but
1:16:44the only thing to note though about that
1:16:46is Like
1:16:51this is going to flip back and forth.
1:16:53675 and 670 are going to flip back and
1:16:56forth for the put wall today.
1:17:01These these two level the HVL and the
1:17:03call wall are more important in my
1:17:04opinion because there's more net volume
1:17:06here
1:17:10compared to here.
1:17:15I just
1:17:18I just think that
1:17:20we're going to
1:17:22>> continue this like
1:17:29>> BS.
1:17:34>> And like even if it goes and doesn't
1:17:36move like okay whatever.
1:17:47Why is Apex taking your accounts?
1:18:23What what stock am I trading? It's
1:18:25GameStop. We're trading GameStop futures
1:18:28right now.
1:18:39No, I'm trading NASDAQ. Well, I'm not
1:18:41even trading NASDAQ. I'm just sitting
1:18:43here watching it.
1:18:52We're trading AIS. Avis,
1:18:56I heard they're doing a short squeeze on
1:18:57this.
1:19:08right here. Problem. That's pretty
1:19:10nasty.
1:19:1213%.
1:19:26Man, we should be trading Bitcoin
1:19:28futures, dude.
1:19:30Doesn't top allow you to trade micro
1:19:33Bitcoin?
1:19:37They do.
1:19:42Look at us, dude. Look at us just
1:19:44scanning the market right now because
1:19:45we're watching this [ __ ] Look how
1:19:48gross this looks. And keep in mind,
1:19:50these like big trade bubbles, I have a
1:19:53filter on them, too. These are popping
1:19:55up with the filter.
1:20:03Bro,
1:20:07let's go look at NQ. It'll probably look
1:20:09cleaner because not I mean I'm used to
1:20:12trading MNQ,
1:20:14but I will say that NQ has cleaner um
1:20:18order flow.
1:20:21See, know what I'm talking about. But
1:20:23then again, it's also because I still
1:20:25have my big trades filtered. So if we
1:20:29click auto filter and I apply it, it'll
1:20:32probably Okay, it's chill.
1:20:39It's less noisy.
1:20:41But I've just gotten so used to MNQ, I
1:20:45just I use it. But you can very easily
1:20:51see like
1:20:55the difference here today.
1:21:01Let's make it 350.
1:21:04Try and filter out some of the [ __ ]
1:21:10It's just way more noisy.
1:21:20All right.
1:21:24Yeah, you should probably uh JT I mean
1:21:29there's always tomorrow. I mean
1:21:33always tomorrow.
1:21:36I think I'm going to just not trade
1:21:37today.
1:21:50No, it's not that I think I'm not going
1:21:52to trade today. I'm definitely not going
1:21:54to trade today.
1:22:05And just so just so I can't just so it's
1:22:09official.
1:22:21We're not going to do any of that. Uh
1:22:23hop off stream,
1:22:25lose an account.
1:22:31We're not going to do that one today.
1:22:36Yeah.
1:22:38So,
1:22:40sometimes um They have uh what? There's
1:22:44a word for it on ATAS. It's a cross uh
1:22:50Yeah. cross trading. Exactly. Exactly.
1:22:53Christian does it. Yeah. So you can, you
1:22:57know,
1:22:59look at NQ, but then it executes MNQ.
1:23:04Now
1:23:06I would say that yes, NQ is
1:23:11cleaner order flow
1:23:14like the the mini contracts doesn't
1:23:17matter ES NQ the mini contracts are
1:23:20cleaner
1:23:22but
1:23:24I personally look at the micro contracts
1:23:28and
1:23:31I've been doing it for a while now where
1:23:36yes it is noisy
1:23:40Today is a very good ex it doesn't keep
1:23:42in mind it doesn't look like this every
1:23:44day you know what I mean otherwise it
1:23:46would be like an issue but
1:23:49I pay attention to it and um I have like
1:23:55a filter in my mind where
1:23:58I can filter out the noise. Now, let's
1:24:01say that um you are a beginner in order
1:24:05flow trading and you just put on a big
1:24:07trade indicator. You really don't know
1:24:09how you're supposed to be interpreting
1:24:10that information and you are on a
1:24:13contract like MNQ
1:24:15where you are having big trades pop up
1:24:18all over the place. If you're reacting
1:24:20to all of that noise,
1:24:24then you will get smoked.
1:24:27Now, you know, when we went to go Look
1:24:30at NQ.
1:24:32We change the chart to NQ.
1:24:35You didn't have all of that noise,
1:24:36right? So, if you're the type of person,
1:24:38let's just say, who trades order flow,
1:24:40they use big trades and they use it to
1:24:43make decisions, there would have been
1:24:45less noise on this chart today. But, I
1:24:48don't know. I just use the M and Q
1:24:49chart. I mean, it works for me. I like
1:24:51see I'm used to the numbers. I'm used to
1:24:53the contract values. I'm very familiar
1:24:56with how it all kind of looks. And then
1:24:58I also identify the noise
1:25:02and I filter it out. And I just
1:25:06I'm just used to it. So I just keep
1:25:07doing it.
1:25:10I've been I mean you got to understand
1:25:12I've been staring at MNQ order flow for
1:25:14like two years every day.
1:25:19>> So I'm used to the numbers.
1:25:30end of day or intraday gamma levels more
1:25:34important.
1:25:37Uh I use
1:25:42I I just use whatever the current active
1:25:44zero DT
1:25:47gamma levels are. Although one thing to
1:25:49note about intra like intraday gamma
1:25:52levels is the closer that we get towards
1:25:54the close
1:25:56uh the behavior slightly starts to
1:25:58change because of how options work and
1:26:01you have decay
1:26:04and hedging becomes a little bit more
1:26:06sensitive.
1:26:10Dude, did I just lock out of my account
1:26:12and now we're going to go do something
1:26:14right now?
1:26:17All right.
1:26:20Trade seat.
1:26:27No, I think we're still going to be on.
1:26:43All right. Well, this may go do
1:26:46something.
1:26:47It seems it seem it seems to me that
1:26:50anytime we we do this BS, the moment
1:26:53that uh that I stop streaming,
1:26:57the chart will move. So, keep your eyes
1:27:00peeled. I am the streaming indicator.
1:27:04Happens all the time.
1:27:06But for me,
1:27:08I think uh you know, I'm like 600 bucks
1:27:12away from passing this account. I do
1:27:15kind of care about this eval. So, I am
1:27:18gonna actually try and not blow it. Some
1:27:22other evals I kind of don't care, but I
1:27:24do kind of need this one. So, we're
1:27:27going to try and not blow it. So, I
1:27:30don't think today is a is a good day for
1:27:31me to trade it anyways. We could just
1:27:33wait for uh tomorrow after Jolts or
1:27:37pre-market heading into Jolts or market
1:27:39open. Who knows? But
1:27:43I am going to get off. So, No trade day
1:27:46for me today. Yesterday I took a trade
1:27:49during Asia session
1:27:51and then
1:27:55yeah
1:27:58and like last week or last month
1:28:03there were a lot of days that were kind
1:28:04of like today where I would just trade
1:28:07anyways just for the sake of content.
1:28:12Not doing that anymore.
1:28:15So,
1:28:17because obviously it did not work out
1:28:18for me last month.
1:28:21So, there's probably going to, just a
1:28:23heads up,
1:28:26there's probably going to be a handful
1:28:28of days if you hop on my stream where
1:28:31I'm not going to take a trade.
1:28:34It's just how it is.
1:28:38So,
1:28:42I will talk to you guys tomorrow. Hope
1:28:44you have a great rest of your day. If
1:28:46you're going to trade, be careful if you
1:28:48uh end up losing money in this price
1:28:50action. Just remember that there is
1:28:53always,
1:28:55say it with me, there's always tomorrow.
1:29:04Yeah. So, don't don't uh
1:29:07Don't end up trying to fight the market
1:29:09today and then end up losing your
1:29:10accounts and then pulling out your
1:29:12credit card.
1:29:16>> All right.
