0:04I don't know. Something just happened
0:05right now. We're starting to pump.
0:07Um
0:13We're starting to move at least
0:15pre-market.
1:07There is a chance that this morning is
1:09kind of volatile with all of this
1:15Iran talk.
1:20Cuz technically the um
1:22ceasefire was supposed to expire today
1:26and then it got extended and then
1:31And then I guess Trump just told the
1:32post that second rounds of talks are
1:35possible as soon as Friday.
1:38So, there's kind of a lot going on.
1:42We're near all-time highs.
1:45Pre-market we rejected
1:48accepting higher.
1:50This area basically is what I'm
1:52watching. If we can have acceptance
1:54above it, then at that point I'm kind of
1:56just expecting like a slower grind up.
1:59Um
2:01but we'll have to see what happens at
2:02market open.
2:04If we drop down, I'm
2:06looking around 750 for
2:10footprint to determine whether or not
2:12we're going to get any type of um
2:15support in that area. Otherwise, we may
2:17just continue dropping lower.
2:19On the higher time frame though, like
2:23there is a chance that
2:26we could begin to
2:29kind of form
2:31some type of rotational behavior right
2:33here. So,
2:35I'm keeping that in mind, but
2:37we'll see how today plays out.
2:42What up, Joseph? What up, Wavy?
2:54Um
2:56he said something.
2:59I don't know.
3:06What what this was caused by this candle
3:10when it started like picking up speed is
3:12he said that
3:14talks with Iran are possible as soon as
3:17Friday.
3:22You know what, dude? It's hard to keep
3:23up, you know what I mean?
3:25It's hard to keep up.
3:28It's like I feel like I got to be just
3:29like staring at True Social.
3:40So, if we are going to pump up
3:42based off of that, then
3:44we're watching this area to see if we're
3:45going to actually
3:47accept higher or not. This is basically
3:50all-time high, so
4:00If we get above here, then I'm going to
4:02be just kind of
4:06looking to see if we just start grinding
4:08up higher
4:10towards like 27,000.
5:24If we do rotate lower off the open
5:26though, I'm kind of looking to see if
5:27we're going to come down here.
5:30My eyes are set on
5:33right around the 750 area.
5:42So, we'll just wait for New York open.
6:31What up, Ali?
8:20Oh, this just changed.
8:28All right. Well, then there's a
8:30potential we just start ripping
8:33or
8:35not really, but like a slower grind up.
8:53And it just changed back.
8:56Still, we're watching this area.
9:05If we like get acceptance above here,
9:08I'm just going to be kind of expecting
9:10like a slower
9:12style grind up.
9:16Or we
9:19make a fake move to the upside and start
9:21coming down towards 750. It's kind of
9:23what I'm thinking.
9:52All right. Let's see what it does.
10:12>> Damn, my data is getting
10:14stuck.
10:16I think that's the only issue recently
10:18as I like switched over to ATAS X is
10:20it's having like
10:22these weird data pauses.
11:10Oh, it's been doing that too on the
11:11regular version.
11:13It's weird.
11:16I just thought it was the the ATAS X
11:19version cuz
11:22literally the moment or this week when I
11:24switched over to it time I started it
11:26happen.
11:29It might just be my
11:32I don't know if it's if if it's my data
11:34or
11:36like if it's the Rithmic data or if it's
11:38the platform.
11:42I would assume it's the platform.
11:47But sometimes Rithmic data has problems.
12:31So, I'm kind of just waiting right now
12:34for to see what this 5-minute candle is
12:36going to do for actually going to push
12:37down.
12:42Or if we're going to start
12:44potentially chopping.
13:53I want to wait for this to close first.
13:56But I might try and take shorts down
13:57towards 750 or at least
14:01780.
14:06But I need to wait for this candle to
14:07close.
14:10And I need to see if it's actually going
14:11to continue the pressure lower if we're
14:13just going to like kind of snap back
14:14right now.
14:43So, if we close down here, the only way
14:45I'm going to be looking for a short is
14:47if we open and we basically immediately
14:50retrace back up and I'll try and get it
14:51on the wick, but if we just open up and
14:54drop, I'm just going to have to let it
14:55run. I'm going to be watching
14:57for us to
14:59come down towards 750.
15:59Order filled.
16:01I'm going to go short.
16:05My stop is going to have to be kind of
16:06big though.
16:58Although, if we do
17:00um
17:02I mean, if this comes up and just takes
17:04out my stop, that's one thing. But if we
17:08if this candle flips bearish and it's
17:10begins to start pushing down,
17:13um I am going to have to
17:15move it to break even pretty quickly.
17:18If we take like once we get to like 800
17:20if we do get down there.
17:22Otherwise, this may just like pop back
17:24up and then
17:26I get stopped out and then we just wait
17:28to see if it's going to
17:31like chop or if we're actually going to
17:33go somewhere.
17:58I got kind of a ass entry
18:00though. I was supposed to wait.
18:02Honestly, I was supposed to be waiting
18:04for this low volume node right here
18:06to try and go short.
18:09But I thought it was going to
18:11I got kind of
18:13FOMO
18:14to be completely honest.
18:15And then I got like the worst entry
18:17possible.
18:21But
18:23>> [clears throat]
18:23>> I'm looking to make sure I'm looking to
18:25see this hold basically, this area.
18:27That's why my stop's up here.
18:30If this doesn't hold and we kind of just
18:32like come all the way back up, then
18:36I'm probably cooked anyways.
18:59Um it's not necessarily it's not that's
19:02not necessarily the reason why.
19:03Otherwise, if that was the case, then
19:05you'd have to be putting it up here,
19:07right?
19:08Stop would have to be like up here.
19:11It's a it's about this low volume node
19:13that's sitting in here.
19:16So, my stop is based off of basically.
19:19Cuz if we're going to continue, then you
19:22know, I would
19:23wouldn't really want to see this candle
19:26necessarily come all the way back up and
19:27make like a
19:31like a
19:32twin tower type of deal, you know what I
19:34mean?
19:42Yeah.
19:43Because this is technically like a
19:46like a continuation style entry.
19:55>> Cuz we were waiting for confirmation to
19:56see, you know,
19:58if sellers were actually pushing price
20:00lower.
20:01And we haven't necessarily taken out any
20:03of these lows yet.
20:05So, I'm trying to see if we're actually
20:06going to
20:08do that. Otherwise,
20:10I mean, we took out this like little
20:12pre-market low, but it's not really what
20:14I was watching for.
20:23But, it's all right. If we get stopped
20:24out, I'll wait and I'll probably take
20:26one more trade,
20:29depending on whatever the outcome is.
20:34But, this second, honestly, for for New
20:37York open, this second 5-minute candle
20:39is like
20:40kind of
20:41low volume, to be honest.
21:03What up, J Mac?
21:19Mhm. We're kind of having like
21:23really low volume right now. Oh, here we
21:25go.
21:26This thing's about to rip.
21:33Just turn around.
22:05Yeah.
22:07It's pretty low volume and
22:09um
22:09I'm hoping that changes, but
22:12it's okay.
22:24But, because it's
22:25kind of doing this,
22:27again, like if it begins to push down,
22:31we get towards these orders sitting
22:33around 800,
22:35uh I'm going to just have to move my
22:36stop to break even.
22:41If it even gets down there, otherwise,
22:43you know, who knows. Recently, I've been
22:44having terrible uh
22:47luck with these random candles that
22:49spike up, so you
22:50you never know.
22:53Hopefully, one of these days I could be
22:54on the right side of it, but ever since
22:57the
22:59Iran war stuff started,
23:01I'm like 0 for 4 right now. I'll be in
23:03the middle of a trade, then out of
23:05nowhere, it'll just be like
23:07the opposite direction.
23:12Yeah, it's not looking too good.
23:16It is not looking too good at all.
23:26All right.
23:59Wow. Pretty surprised it didn't stop me
24:01out yet.
24:11I cooked the short. What do you mean?
24:13By getting in?
24:15I know. I get Yeah, you're probably
24:17right.
24:20I've been doing that recently, where
24:26I've been like waiting for the open to
24:28start moving in a direction,
24:30and then the moment I get in, it's just
24:32like, uh
24:34never mind.
24:36It just stops.
24:39No, I know the entry's terrible.
24:42I thought it would continue
24:48to at least like uh come down towards
24:50here.
25:06Yeah, the volume is
25:08Like, I don't know if you guys can see
25:09this. I don't think you can.
25:1324K, 22K on MNQ.
25:19It's like half of what the normal volume
25:20usually is.
25:39Well, yesterday I actually did it.
25:41Yesterday, I waited until we dropped
25:43lower, and then I
25:45took longs.
25:46And it went like 100 points in profit.
25:48But, I know what you're talking about.
25:49The other day, I did the same thing.
26:29Order filled.
26:51Yeah, now we go lower. Maybe.
27:17Me? I'm 25.
27:45Yeah.
27:48It's the It's the Asian genetics. Bro.
28:02Dude, I've been getting my ass handed to
28:04me all month,
28:06making dumb decisions.
28:12We're still net positive with the firms,
28:13but it's definitely like
28:17one of the worst
28:19or toughest months that I've had in like
28:23a long time.
28:50If we don't pick up any volume or any
28:52speed by the new hourly open, I'm
28:54probably just going to stop trading for
28:56the day.
29:31Uh it's because I changed the inside of
29:34the candle to be um to just be a little
29:37different.
29:40So, in that in that can't in that video
29:42you watched, I had it where it was a bid
29:44ask ladder.
29:46So, it's going to show the POC on one
29:47side or the other.
29:50Um but I changed it to
29:54the bid by ask or like bid times ask.
29:57And then it just shows it across a
30:00single line.
30:01Because I'd rather see volume profile
30:04inside of each of these candles
30:06than
30:08a bid ask ladder because it'll look like
30:10this. Look.
30:18Where is it?
30:21See how now it's on like the POC side or
30:24it POC's on one side.
30:27I used to do that, but I don't do that
30:28anymore. I do it like this.
30:36Yeah, that volatility range indicator I
30:38made.
30:39Proud of that thing.
30:41Thing cooks, dude.
30:45That thing cooks. Look, where's it at?
30:55Cooks, dude.
31:01I actually ran it's based off of
31:05statistical
31:08deviations away from Asia high and low
31:10based on
31:11I ran like 9 years of data to create it.
31:15And then it does a self-rolling
31:16calculation. It's pretty good, dude,
31:18honestly.
31:19I give that I just like give it away for
31:21free.
31:23People like to charge for indicators.
31:26That indicator's fire.
31:38Well,
31:39honestly, this one [clears throat] was
31:41just
31:44the goal was was to wait for the
31:46retracement and to get in in this area.
31:49Instead, I got in down here, which is
31:51like
31:5230 points lower.
31:55If we actually would have gotten in
31:56where we wanted to, we could have put a
31:58normal stop loss.
32:02So, that's my fault. I FOMO'd into that.
32:03That was self-inflicted damage right
32:05there, but even then like this is pretty
32:07nasty. This is like
32:10turning into a
32:12I don't think I'm going to touch this
32:14type of scenario.
32:15Especially since I'm already in
32:16drawdown.
32:24And cuz volume is like for whatever
32:26reason
32:28really low this morning.
32:48Hm.
32:55Where is this at?
33:00Right.
34:52You skipped the pre-market ritual, and
34:54then this is this price action is your
34:55fault.
35:00Oh, my bad. I wasn't looking at the
35:01YouTube chat.
35:04What up? What up?
35:07Uh we're in a positive environment, so
35:09based on expectation is kind of a
35:10compression or rotation. If we get above
35:14um
35:15this area up here, I don't know how long
35:17ago you asked that question, but if we
35:19get above
35:21kind of like 26 920,
35:24I'm expecting us to just kind of slowly
35:26grind up.
35:28Otherwise,
35:31we may just kind of like
35:35around right here.
36:31Yeah, I use zero DT flows.
36:34I mean, I understand where I have
36:36another chart up. You guys can't see it,
36:38but
36:39I have uh
36:41the weekly and then the um
36:44the monthly.
36:47But I'm mainly looking at zero DT. They
36:50do change like
36:53constantly, but I have it updating on a
36:56live
36:57feed, so I just pay attention to it.
37:13Although, I do notice sometimes when I
37:15am like my morning outlooks that
37:20I'm like in the middle of writing
37:21something out and then they start moving
37:22levels around, but
37:26yeah, I care most about zero DT.
37:46All right, let's see if the new hourly
37:47does anything. Otherwise, I'm probably
37:49just going to call it a Oh, You
37:51guys can't see it. My Otherwise,
37:53I'm just going to call it a day and just
37:54take my $400 L
37:57and just
37:59do some damage control.
38:04Especially if we're going to be moving
38:05like this
38:07today
38:08for the morning session.
39:05Uh yeah, well, dude, you know what,
39:08Xavier?
39:09Is their heat map is in beta right now,
39:12and the only way to get their the new
39:15heat map is you have to purchase one of
39:17their plans right now
39:19between April 20th, because it just
39:22released 2 days ago on the 20th, to
39:25April 30th. And then it goes live for
39:28everyone else May 19th.
39:31The thing is though is like with when it
39:34comes to A test, I'm actually
39:35grandfathered in at a cheaper price
39:38because
39:39before they had separate plans,
39:42A test used to just have one plan. And
39:45when I first started using ATAS like
39:48a year or two ago,
39:50um
39:51they only had one plan and it was
39:53cheaper. So, if I go and
39:56and pay right now for a new plan just to
39:59get the heat map beta,
40:00it's like an additional $20 a month
40:04added to my plan.
40:05And then I'll never be able to get my
40:07grandfathered price again. So, I just
40:08got to wait. But what I did do
40:11is
40:12they made a bunch of content. They were
40:14posting about it.
40:16And I was just checking it out.
40:18Looks great, honestly. Like way better
40:20than this one.
40:22Cuz this is the current heat map they
40:24have.
40:25Like their liquidity heat map. But it's
40:27not as clean, in my opinion.
40:31The one that they recently made is like
40:34Yeah, for sure. It's way more efficient
40:36to have everything in and more
40:37cost-effective. But
40:40um
40:41the one that they just released is like
40:45very similar to Bookmap.
40:48So, that's why I made that post because
40:50it's like, well, then
40:53if these order flow platforms are going
40:55to like
40:57continuously improve and like not just
41:00ATAS, but other order flow platforms
41:02like
41:05Bookmap is all about heat map, right?
41:07But now you got these platforms that are
41:08about like everything else, too. And if
41:10they add a heat map, then it's just like
41:13what's the point of Bookmap?
41:17Especially because
41:19if you want the full Bookmap,
41:21it's like $99 a month or something.
41:25Otherwise, you get like the the global
41:27plan, which is what I used to have.
41:31And then they like kind of throttle
41:32certain features.
41:49Uh I have the ultra plan and it's like
41:5160-something euros a month for me.
41:55So, like right now I think their ultra
41:58plan is like almost 90 euros a month.
42:01I think mine's like 70 euros a month.
42:04Cuz I have the original
42:07pricing.
42:10So, I'd like to try and hold on to that
42:12as long as possible to be completely
42:13honest.
43:13Oh,
43:24Yeah, when I first started using it,
43:26there really wasn't a lot of content on
43:28it. But you know what?
43:29ATAS actually has like a really good
43:32YouTube channel.
43:35They're They make YouTube videos about
43:37their platform.
43:41And
43:43it's really helpful. But now you got
43:45other people using their platform and
43:47make content whatnot. So, it's a little
43:49bit easier nowadays.
44:16Honestly, to be honest, guys, like
44:20I'm going to see what we do up here, but
44:22I'm kind of leaning towards like just
44:24not even
44:25continuing to trade today.
44:27Probably just wait.
44:36Because if we come up here and we like
44:38reject and fall back into this range and
44:40then stay if we stay with low volume,
44:43then it's just like, well,
44:46I'm in drawdown. I took a L.
44:50It's not really conditions to try and
44:51like
44:53make my money back, you know what I
44:54mean? So, I'd probably just rather
44:57wait.
44:58But we'll give it a little bit
45:00and we'll see.
45:14My god, dude.
45:53>> [laughter]
45:53>> Yeah, value area high and value area
45:55low.
46:00Yeah, honestly,
46:11I think I'm just going to I think I'm
46:13just going to stop.
46:16I feel like I feel like right now,
46:18if I try and trade this right now,
46:21I'm probably just going to make my my
46:23P&L worse.
46:24And then it's a brand new funded
46:26account.
46:28So,
46:29I'm not trying to dig myself into a
46:31hole.
46:33So, hopefully we get better price action
46:35or faster, more volume, more
46:36participation
46:39later this week.
46:41But I just don't think today is the day
46:44for me to try and
46:46press it.
46:48It's been kind of like this the past,
46:50you know, few weeks.
46:53Where I've been ending the streams kind
46:55of early cuz we're
46:57Yesterday we had some good movement,
46:59though.
46:59I mean, it wasn't
47:02No, yeah. Yesterday was some pretty good
47:03movement, honestly. Better than way
47:05better than today.
47:19Ooh, did they update it?
47:23Where is this?
47:35Hell yeah.
47:37All right. I think I'm going to just
47:38call it a day. I feel like this is going
47:40to be a waste of time to sit here and
47:41then potentially dangerous and harmful
47:44to my balance. So,
47:46sorry for the short stream. Sorry for
47:48the shitty trade. It is what it is. I'll
47:51catch you guys next time.
47:53Probably tomorrow.
