- 0:11I mean, here's the thing, right? It's
- 0:12like
- 0:17I am
- 0:19I'm not typically excited
- 0:23when we pump 250 points prior to the
- 0:27open.
- 0:32Like, bro,
- 0:36it makes me sad.
- 0:41It was looking pretty good. Um,
- 0:44it was looking pretty good for shorts
- 0:46though or my bad for longs because
- 0:49we dropped down and begin to balance out
- 0:51during the overnight and then it would
- 0:52have been a decent opportunity for us to
- 0:55kind of try and repair some of this back
- 0:57up in here. But it literally just did it
- 1:01for us doing it
- 1:07pre-market,
- 1:09but
- 1:10we'll see if there's if it's still
- 1:12tradable. I'm going to um
- 1:17I'm going to tell you what I'm looking
- 1:18at. I my my outlook was kind of like I
- 1:22was in a rush. My bad. I was in a rush
- 1:24this morning,
- 1:26but I'll just explain it when people get
- 1:30in here
- 1:32about what I'm looking at.
- 1:37Hope you guys are doing well today
- 1:38though.
- 1:42Traded a little bit of Asia.
- 1:44So,
- 1:48I'm trying to This is it. This is
- 1:50currently a eval
- 1:53trying to hit a profit target on it.
- 2:48Yo, what up money man? How you doing?
- 2:53[snorts]
- 3:02Catch some Asia dubs. Yeah, I traded
- 3:03Asia yesterday. Asia was um was decent.
- 3:07I I was busy trying to set up um some
- 3:11new templates and deep charts
- 3:15and then
- 3:17we started moving around. I caught some
- 3:19of the some of these longs uh during
- 3:21Asia session.
- 3:25All right. Well, now that we got some
- 3:26people in here, I'll explain what I'm
- 3:27looking at.
- 3:30Although I know like I'm gonna explain
- 3:32what I'm looking at and then someone's
- 3:34gonna join and be like, "What are we
- 3:36looking at today?"
- 3:39Pretty much we balanced out during the
- 3:41overnight session. I was looking I was
- 3:43going to consider looking for a move
- 3:45back up into this to start repairing
- 3:47some of this
- 3:49drop lower. Unfortunately, it's it
- 3:53basically happened pre-market. We pumped
- 3:54like 250 points to the upside. Um
- 4:00And so what I'm paying attention to
- 4:02right now is I'm watching this area
- 4:05between 684 and 643,
- 4:08which is this location. If we hold above
- 4:11this, then I'm looking it's it's really
- 4:15an area. We're kind of in the middle of
- 4:17two areas right now that I'm paying
- 4:19attention to. But in the event that we
- 4:21start accepting past 760, then I'm
- 4:24looking for us to um push up in the
- 4:2729,900
- 4:29area up here. Yeah, the Treasury news
- 4:32that came out like right around here.
- 4:35So unfortunate, right?
- 4:38Because it happened while I was making
- 4:40my coffee. Maybe I just got to wake up
- 4:43earlier.
- 4:47But so basically to keep it super dumb
- 4:50simple for you guys above this I'm
- 4:54looking for 900.
- 4:57I don't want to see us whiplash in here
- 5:00and I'm not going to be bearish until we
- 5:02start getting
- 5:04basically back below
- 5:0729,600.
- 5:12Isn't it already 5:00 a.m. for you?
- 5:14Yeah, I already wake up at um
- 5:17I already wake up at
- 5:214:30,
- 5:24but I wake up and then I um I have to
- 5:28answer a bunch of messages that I get
- 5:29from like while I was sleeping and then
- 5:33I go make a coffee. Then I look at the
- 5:36charts and then I work on an outlook and
- 5:39then by that time it's usually like 6:00
- 5:42a.m.
- 5:44So
- 5:47unfortunately today I was trying to uh I
- 5:50was trying to do an outlook and while I
- 5:52was doing while I was writing my outlook
- 5:53I was like just watching this thing
- 5:56pump.
- 6:00news. I was like, "Oh, dude, great."
- 6:07Yeah. Well, that's what happens when
- 6:09you're a West Coast trader. You got to
- 6:10wake up early.
- 6:13A lot of but you know what a lot of West
- 6:15Coast traders do is they will just like
- 6:19wake up like
- 6:225 to 10 minutes before market open
- 6:27hop on the chart
- 6:29draw some draw some boxes and then just
- 6:33start clicking buttons
- 6:36like I wake up at 4:30 and I got to do
- 6:38some stuff but
- 6:40it is important to create like a solid
- 6:43outlook, dude,
- 6:46because it's it's what gives structure
- 6:48to your morning.
- 6:52It's important.
- 7:02I would say I would say honestly the the
- 7:06time in the morning where
- 7:09I sit down with a hot cup of coffee and
- 7:11I'm looking at what
- 7:14I think New York is going to like when
- 7:17I'm looking at the um levels. It's
- 7:20probably the most important part about
- 7:22my entire morning
- 7:25is creating a plan. Not trying to
- 7:27predict anything either. It's just if
- 7:29this then that statements. It could be
- 7:31in either direction, but you know,
- 7:35I mean, sometimes you're going to
- 7:36heavily lean towards one side. Like,
- 7:40obviously this morning at this point,
- 7:41I'm I'm until for the AM session, I'm
- 7:44leaning more towards either
- 7:47consolidating or pushing higher rather
- 7:51than
- 7:53us just opening up and dumping it all
- 7:55the way down. Is it possible that we can
- 7:57do that? Absolutely. But that's where I
- 8:00have kind of like a plan, right? If we
- 8:02start accepting below 600s
- 8:06and every failure to try and push it
- 8:08back and every buyer attempt to try and
- 8:11push it back is failing, then we're
- 8:12probably going lower. But until we do
- 8:15that, I mean, we're probably either
- 8:16going to chop at the open
- 8:21or push it up to the 900s.
- 8:32If you could only use one of your
- 8:34platforms,
- 8:36which one would it be?
- 8:38Well,
- 8:41people ask me that all the time. I use
- 8:43both but but
- 8:47I am moving over to deep charts and I am
- 8:50partnering with deep charts so that
- 8:54you guys will probably see deep charts
- 8:56on my screen. So this is deep charts.
- 9:00This is deep charts.
- 9:40but yeah. What's up?
- 9:48[laughter]
- 10:01So, we'll see what happens. We got like
- 10:027 minutes until the open.
- 10:21you still have to have a data sub for
- 10:24deep chart, right? Um, you can just use
- 10:28your
- 10:30you can just use prop firms, but if
- 10:32you're looking for level two or MBO
- 10:35data,
- 10:38you I don't really know of any prop
- 10:40firms that offer that like that. I mean
- 10:42FFN offer offers level two I think.
- 10:48I think so.
- 10:53But you can also um
- 10:56I mean where I where I get my data from
- 10:58though is from um Rhythmic. Like I have
- 11:01my own live account with AMP Futures
- 11:06and I just pay for data.
- 11:11So,
- 11:14I mean, realistically, it's cheap. I
- 11:16mean,
- 11:20it's like 30 bucks for level two if you
- 11:23need it.
- 11:26And then if you want to add like comx if
- 11:29you trade medals, then I don't know,
- 11:31probably like uh
- 11:35$50 to $60
- 11:38a month.
- 11:41That's really not a lot, you know.
- 11:45Although I will say, you know, I guess
- 11:46it's it is kind of a lot.
- 11:50We can make the argument it is a lot,
- 11:52but
- 11:59I don't really think about it like that.
- 12:00like
- 12:03like let's say okay like and people will
- 12:06say like um
- 12:09oh you know cuz trading order flow I
- 12:11guess is probably one of the mo more
- 12:14expensive ways to try and trade
- 12:17but at the end of the day even if you
- 12:19pay like
- 12:21for the data and um
- 12:26for the platforms
- 12:29and you're like paying, let's just
- 12:31imagine you're paying $300 a month to
- 12:36trade order flow. Okay. Well, if you're
- 12:39trading and you're using prop firms or
- 12:42you're trading a live account or
- 12:44whatever,
- 12:47I mean, the goal is to make more than
- 12:49$300 a month, you know what I mean? So,
- 12:52it's kind of just like
- 12:55[snorts] it's kind of like whatever.
- 13:06But yeah, some prop firms do allow you
- 13:08to pay for level two. Sabian says level
- 13:11two for metals included on for rhythmic
- 13:13on Lucid. Okay, nice.
- 13:31You join Sierra Chart. You pay less than
- 13:3470 a month. Level two heatmat footprint,
- 13:37TPO and volume profile. Very nice.
- 13:42Sierra Charts was actually the first
- 13:44order flow platform platform I ever uh
- 13:46downloaded.
- 13:51I went from Sierra Charts to a platform
- 13:55called Edge Prox
- 13:57to
- 14:00a test
- 14:04and then now I'm using
- 14:07deep charts.
- 14:18Well, I mean I I have been using both of
- 14:21them, but now I'm going to move over to
- 14:25deep charts.
- 14:35It took at least one and a half years to
- 14:37get exactly how you wanted it.
- 14:41Yeah. One
- 14:43Sierra Charts is not friendly for
- 14:45beginners, dude. But if you know what
- 14:47you're doing,
- 14:49you know what I mean?
- 14:53if you know what you're doing.
- 15:02But Deep Charts is a newer platform,
- 15:04right? But they're constantly making
- 15:07upgrades to it. They're constantly
- 15:08adding features.
- 15:12So, it's pretty cool.
- 15:24Uh, Tuli, it's 400%. I used 400%
- 15:28imbalances on the bid by ask.
- 15:35All right, we got the market opening up
- 15:38here. Let's
- 15:41see what happens in um
- 15:56still figuring out deep charts because I
- 15:58got to um I'm like rebuilding templates
- 16:02and trying to make sure I have
- 16:03everything.
- 16:07All right. So again, I'm looking for us
- 16:08to see I'm seeing at at the open, we're
- 16:10going to stay above this 680 to 640
- 16:12level. If we do, then if we start
- 16:14accepting above 760s, we're going to
- 16:1629,900. That's what my that's what I'm
- 16:18looking at this morning. In the event
- 16:20that we drop below here, I'm not going
- 16:21to be bearish until we start accepting
- 16:23below the 600s.
- 16:45And I need to hit profit target on this
- 16:47Eval. So that's probably the first
- 16:48account I'm going to start with.
- 16:50Actually, no, I'm not. I'm going to use
- 16:52a funded account first.
- 17:30So, I'm seeing if we're going to hold
- 17:32this right No.
- 17:57All right, I'm going to go long right
- 17:59here with the stop right below
- 18:03the candle's wick
- 18:05and I'm going to be looking for us to
- 18:07push it back up towards the 760s and
- 18:09once we get there I'm going to move it
- 18:10to break even.
- 18:13But I'm going three micros right now on
- 18:16this funded account. So pretty small
- 18:18size
- 18:19because I'm worried about us like
- 18:22chopping around a little bit.
- 18:27Full target though is going to be at the
- 18:28900. So,
- 18:31or basically we're going to front run it
- 18:33at um 29,880
- 19:33We just got to be careful about
- 19:41just need to get past the 760s.
- 19:45If we can, we should be okay. But if we
- 19:48can't, then we're probably going to slam
- 19:50back down.
- 19:56If we can push up into it, I'm probably
- 19:58going to have to move break even.
- 20:01But if we just fail to get follow
- 20:04through right now from
- 20:06Oh, let me um
- 20:10change it. Here we go.
- 21:22Why did I enter? Because I'm watching
- 21:24this area and it looked like it it
- 21:25looked like we were about to hold it.
- 21:30And then, you know, we did start getting
- 21:32a a move up, but like it went like uh I
- 21:35don't know 25 30 points in profit
- 21:40and then it just couldn't get the follow
- 21:42through to the upside. We needed to
- 21:43break past um 760 for us to start making
- 21:46our way towards the 900s, but
- 21:50we're not getting any followthrough. So,
- 21:52we're probably going to end up getting
- 21:53stopped out of this and then it's going
- 21:55to we're going to wait. But, I went
- 21:57three micros on it. So, I went a little
- 21:58bit
- 22:00lighter size because it did require like
- 22:03a 50 point stop due to the wick.
- 22:59So, what I'm watching for right now is
- 23:01I'm seeing if we're going to still hold
- 23:03above this this zone.
- 23:07Otherwise,
- 23:12especially after a move pre-market like
- 23:14this, I got to make sure we're not about
- 23:16to just start uh whipping around.
- 23:21But I won't be looking to take any
- 23:23shorts until we start getting back below
- 23:25the 600s.
- 23:2829,600
- 23:30595
- 23:32555
- 24:13>> [gasps]
- 24:14>> I really don't understand what is
- 24:15happening right now. I'm trying to learn
- 24:17orderflow.
- 24:20Well,
- 24:22I was looking for this uh area to hold.
- 24:24We came into it. We were get we were
- 24:27stalling out for a bit momentarily and
- 24:30we started flipping back bullish. I
- 24:31thought we were going to make an attempt
- 24:32at the 760s.
- 24:35We went long when we flip bullish.
- 24:38We pushed a little bit but couldn't get
- 24:40any follow through. So get got stopped
- 24:43out and now we're waiting. So
- 25:04heat.
- 25:24Can you use Trading View footprint
- 25:26candles? Um,
- 25:30I wouldn't really recommend it, but if
- 25:32you want to,
- 25:36I wouldn't really recommend it, though.
- 26:15Yeah, you got to pay for it. and it's BS
- 26:18data. You're better off just like paying
- 26:20for um an actual orderflow platform.
- 26:43up.
- 26:59You are
- 27:39Is it okay to trade Asia session? Yeah,
- 27:42I traded I traded Asia session last
- 27:44night
- 27:46just very briefly
- 27:48on this account,
- 27:52but that's a that's a EVO.
- 29:51I got to figure out how to add a bar
- 29:53timer on this chart.
- 30:02If we're going to hold this 600 level,
- 30:04we might just rotate in here.
- 30:17Did I change my template? Yeah, this is
- 30:18a deep charts template.
- 30:22I'm trying to reconstruct reconstruct my
- 30:25workspace. We're holding this pretty
- 30:27good.
- 30:41bar timer indicator.
- 30:49It's not in here. I did it I did it last
- 30:52night and then I forgot to save it.
- 30:58Price settings. It's on the top.
- 31:05Where at? Countdown. There we go. There
- 31:09we go.
- 31:12Yep.
- 31:15Let's make it black
- 31:19and yellow.
- 31:24It's not working.
- 31:34I'mma figure it out later.
- 32:37gold.
- 32:40Oo, I haven't traded gold in a while.
- 33:29Is it possible to add absorption to
- 33:31chart, please? What does that even mean?
- 33:33What do you mean add it to the chart?
- 33:36Should I just make it happen?
- 33:38Absorption?
- 33:43Oh, I'm just messing with you.
- 33:47What? Um,
- 33:49what do you mean by that, bro?
- 34:09Part of Flois Maximus.
- 34:15That's funny.
- 34:18We're kind of holding this, but there
- 34:20really hasn't been every aggressive
- 34:23attempt so far to push it back up is
- 34:26kind of failing. So,
- 34:37Oh.
- 34:59All right. So, I'm going to be looking
- 35:00for us to not just wick this down here,
- 35:03but to stay below it. Then, we're going
- 35:05to
- 35:10be watching this.
- 35:25Unless we're going to just run the whole
- 35:27thing right now. Damn.
- 36:11Brother.
- 36:14Brother.
- 36:18GG's.
- 36:58Still looking bullish? Absolutely not.
- 37:03No sir.
- 37:08That scenario has died.
- 37:10[snorts]
- 37:13That scenario has died.
- 37:20I was actually I was waiting to see if
- 37:22we were going to
- 37:25if we were going to push down and then
- 37:28start accepting below that
- 37:31590600
- 37:33area because prior to this candle that
- 37:35dumped down, we were holding it a little
- 37:36bit, right? So, I [snorts] was looking
- 37:38to see if we were going to drop below a
- 37:41little bit, have buyers come back up to
- 37:43try and reclaim and fail, and then there
- 37:44would have been an opportunity for me to
- 37:46try and short it. But right now, I
- 37:47can't. Like, it just ran it in a single
- 37:52fiveminute candle, and then now we just
- 37:53took lows. So,
- 38:12It's unfortunate, dude. Like
- 38:16August,
- 38:18the August uh price action so far for
- 38:20the New York opens
- 38:25has been difficult for me,
- 38:29for the way that I trade.
- 38:34I've had a dude. You know, you know what
- 38:35the story of uh August is for me so far?
- 38:40Enter a trade, 50 points in profits,
- 38:42slam back to break even. Enter a trade,
- 38:4550 points in profits, slam back into
- 38:47break even.
- 38:50Why didn't you take the short? You said
- 38:52before New York open, if price held
- 38:54below 29600, I'm bearish. Yes, that is
- 38:57correct. If we hold below 600, so then
- 39:00what were we doing here, right?
- 39:04We were kind of holding the 600 area
- 39:07and then the moment that we started
- 39:08getting below it, well, we did it in a
- 39:10single go. What am I? What do you you
- 39:12know, are you going to just chase it?
- 39:15I don't do that.
- 39:19Would have been pretty nice though.
- 39:20Hindsight,
- 39:23we should be
- 39:25That's our That'll be our new strat 2020
- 39:28hindsight.
- 39:32No, I just there there was no way for me
- 39:34to answer that other than just trying to
- 39:36chase it, which is not um
- 39:40not the best best idea in the long run.
- 39:43You know what I mean? [clears throat]
- 39:49Because because it's like, okay, you
- 39:51have analysis of what you think in terms
- 39:54of,
- 39:56you know, areas where you're going to
- 39:58start looking to take shorts or longs or
- 40:01sitting out or whatever it may be.
- 40:04But you still need a way to get into the
- 40:06trade, set a proper stop-loss, and have
- 40:08a proper target. You know what I mean?
- 40:31Does 2020 mean stop loss? 20 points take
- 40:34profit, 20 points from entry. No, I was
- 40:36joking. I meant 2020 vision, like
- 40:38hindsight. You know what I mean?
- 40:42You know what I mean? Choosy. 3030s.
- 40:473030s.
- 41:03Know what I mean?
- 41:08Yeah, I say that a lot.
- 41:16Sometimes when I go back and I watch
- 41:17videos, I realize I say certain things a
- 41:20lot.
- 41:23Then it bothers me. It bothers me when I
- 41:26say it over and over.
- 41:37Like dude, brother
- 41:40>> [laughter]
- 41:48>> simultaneously
- 41:51sounds
- 41:53achieved.
- 42:14If we if we start coming I just don't
- 42:16want to long it down here back into this
- 42:18area I was watching for us to hold
- 42:20below. But if we can start making our
- 42:22way back above it, I may look for a
- 42:24continuation to make another attempt at
- 42:26the 760s. But
- 42:29until then, I just got to I got to make
- 42:30sure we're not about to just like
- 42:37do this and then start rolling over
- 42:39again.
- 44:55I'm going to see what the uh hourly and
- 44:57the 4hour open does right now.
- 45:18>> [snorts]
- 45:57>> What I am looking what I'm thinking
- 45:59right now though is that if we open up
- 46:01on the 4 hour and the hourly and we push
- 46:05back up into
- 46:09this area up here where we started
- 46:11getting that initiative pressure lower
- 46:15and we don't just run right back up
- 46:17through it.
- 46:19There may be an opportunity for me to
- 46:21try and take a short,
- 46:23but this could be
- 46:28we just we need to be careful about that
- 46:30one.
- 46:31And we pro and as we approach back
- 46:34towards this area, if we do short it up
- 46:35here, we would have to move the stop.
- 46:36We'd have to trail the stop loss.
- 46:55It's up 120% today. That's crazy.
- 47:24is at 230,000%.
- 47:29Crazy.
- 47:30That's crazy.
- 48:04What indicator is that trying to open
- 48:06up?
- 48:18Oh, that's cool.
- 49:09Happy birthday.
- 49:39We're just getting stuck right here
- 49:40right now.
- 49:48>> Trading is like going fishing. Yeah,
- 49:50sort of.
- 49:52Yeah, we're just chilling and waiting. I
- 49:55mean, you know,
- 49:57just with the way that I trade, some
- 49:58people, you know, can be trading this
- 50:01all over the place.
- 50:19Yeah, I would say like Texas Holdem.
- 50:22Yeah,
- 50:26we're we're fishing for a profit.
- 50:37Yeah.
- 50:40Why you don't take partial profits?
- 50:44I don't believe in that. I don't believe
- 50:46in taking partials.
- 50:48Oh, usually what I do though is if it's
- 50:51uh if it makes sense to do so and I can
- 50:54make sure that my risk is fine, I add
- 50:57into winners.
- 51:01I So I do it's basically the opposite. I
- 51:04add into winners. I don't take I don't
- 51:06take profits out of winners early
- 51:12partials because think about it like
- 51:14this. Okay,
- 51:16let's say you're Mr. partials. There
- 51:18there's there's times to take partials
- 51:20and there's proper ways to do it, but a
- 51:23lot of people who take partials, let's
- 51:25think about this for a moment. Why are
- 51:27you taking partials? A lot of people
- 51:30take partials because they're they just
- 51:32see money and then they're, you know,
- 51:34they're scared. But like if you were to
- 51:36let's say go long right here and you
- 51:38have a TP set or a stop loss set for 65
- 51:41points and
- 51:44in your head you're like, "Oh, I'mma
- 51:46catch a a 2R, you know, and then you
- 51:49take partials here, here, and here,
- 51:51whatever."
- 51:53Well, you're not I mean, you're
- 51:58you're ruining that risk-to-reward.
- 52:00You're ruining it.
- 52:03Now, on the other hand, if you have a
- 52:05trade that has momentum and the market's
- 52:07telling you that you're right and you
- 52:09add into a winner, well then what what
- 52:12is that going to result in? It's going
- 52:14to result in um much larger winners than
- 52:18losers,
- 52:29trail stop. Yeah, but there's times to
- 52:31trail stop and there's times to let it
- 52:33breathe.
- 52:41If I'm sitting in a trade that is 40
- 52:42points again that is 40 points against
- 52:45me, do I still feel like I'm right?
- 52:48Uh, no.
- 52:51But if I place a stop loss,
- 52:54I place it there for a reason. So, I
- 52:57just let it hit the stop loss.
- 53:12>> [snorts]
- 54:51>> Yeah. No need for a stop loss if you
- 54:52know you're going to win, right?
- 55:20Do I use Gex levels like put in call
- 55:22walls? Yeah,
- 55:34the red levels are Gex put levels. Which
- 55:36ones? These ones.
- 55:39Yeah, but it's delay. It's It's this
- 55:42trading view indic I'm looking at
- 55:43something. I'm looking at this on my
- 55:45screen.
- 55:49You guys can't really see it.
- 55:53I'm looking at this on another screen.
- 56:07Unfortunate though.
- 56:10We have been getting whooped
- 56:15during August.
- 56:19I've been doing all right during Asia
- 56:21session though. My I've been trading my
- 56:22live account during Asia. It's been
- 56:24pretty chill.
- 57:18Can I do a live on Asia session? Uh,
- 57:22probably not
- 57:25cuz I'm usually like placing a trade and
- 57:27then going and doing other stuff,
- 57:31not sitting here in front of the
- 57:33computer constantly like I am here.
- 58:00Yeah, I can um
- 58:03if I if I'm looking at certain
- 58:06trades or whatever,
- 58:09I can message the general chat for Asia
- 58:12session
- 58:17for the Discord.
- 58:43Can
- 58:45you explain what we are seeing on the
- 58:47left side of your screen? This one, this
- 58:50is a volume profile within a fivem
- 58:52minute candle.
- 58:54You have the depth of market expresses
- 58:56levels on the side. So these are where
- 58:59resting limit orders are sitting.
- 59:08>> Target for shorts. I'm not in shorts,
- 59:10but if you are in shorts, I mean, we're
- 59:12kind of
- 59:15This would have been basically the
- 59:17target for my shorts. I was looking to I
- 59:20was looking for something like this,
- 59:27>> but it didn't do that. We just dropped.
- 59:41>> No. Thousand said he was going to buy
- 59:43it. thousand said he he's rich
- 59:47and he was going to drop 100 100 grand
- 59:49on it.
- 1:00:20Step
- 1:00:25next.
- 1:00:59Oh, my bad. If the live is boring this
- 1:01:02morning, it's just how it is sometimes.
- 1:01:06We took a L. We took a L. We're waiting
- 1:01:10to look for shorts.
- 1:01:13Couldn't get in. Full target to the
- 1:01:15downside for shorts was 378.
- 1:01:26So, we're here.
- 1:01:36Uh, I use MNQ data, although I'm
- 1:01:39probably one of the only orderflow
- 1:01:40traders that looks at MNQ instead of NQ.
- 1:01:45I would re I would recommend that you
- 1:01:47guys look at um,
- 1:01:51[clears throat]
- 1:01:52NQ probably.
- 1:01:56I'm I I'm probably the only guy that
- 1:01:59looks at MNQ.
- 1:02:11Why is that?
- 1:02:17It's because when I started trading uh
- 1:02:21when I initially was trading on ATS
- 1:02:26um
- 1:02:27that cross um cross trading feature
- 1:02:31wasn't a thing. This is like a couple
- 1:02:34years ago wasn't a thing and I was
- 1:02:37trying to execute on ATS.
- 1:02:41So,
- 1:02:42um,
- 1:02:48I had to execute on MNQ. So, then what
- 1:02:50ended up happening is like I just stared
- 1:02:52at MNQ footprint data
- 1:02:56for
- 1:02:59years, thousands of hours basically
- 1:03:02staring at it. So, I'm very used to like
- 1:03:05the numbers and everything.
- 1:03:14But
- 1:03:17it's a lot noisier. The tape is a lot
- 1:03:19noisier on uh it's also there's thinner
- 1:03:21liquidity a lot of the times on um
- 1:03:30MNQ. So sometimes you'll see wicks that
- 1:03:32are larger on MNQ.
- 1:03:46So we came into
- 1:03:50378.
- 1:03:59I'm not really convinced in this move
- 1:04:01back up yet, though.
- 1:04:06Depending what happens, I might just
- 1:04:09call it a day.
- 1:04:15It's been a really uneventful two weeks
- 1:04:17for me.
- 1:04:26How close am I to passing this? Evo,
- 1:04:28this is a funded account.
- 1:04:48just take shittier setups for evals.
- 1:04:53Yeah, if you guys want, we could force a
- 1:04:55trade. [laughter]
- 1:04:58We could force a trade on Evo.
- 1:05:02Just joking. We could though.
- 1:05:10full port.
- 1:05:19Do I trade different on my funded
- 1:05:21accounts? Yes, I absolutely trade
- 1:05:24differently on funded accounts than I do
- 1:05:25with Evals.
- 1:05:31We trade off the vibes with the Evals.
- 1:05:33We just go off of vibes. How are we
- 1:05:34feeling?
- 1:05:38No, I'm just joking. I just I'm way more
- 1:05:40aggressive on evals.
- 1:05:44I'll usually try and pass them in two
- 1:05:45days.
- 1:06:14How much was I risking? Like 10 to 15%
- 1:06:17of my account.
- 1:06:28Yeah. I mean, it's a competition, bro.
- 1:06:31Like, what are you going to do? Risk 1%,
- 1:06:33win a competition?
- 1:06:35You know what I mean?
- 1:06:47>> Especially for a monthly competition.
- 1:06:50You have one month
- 1:07:01Yeah. I mean, for that to happen, right,
- 1:07:04you you need um
- 1:07:10you need you need some variance going
- 1:07:12your way and you need good conditions.
- 1:07:16really what ha what what happened uh
- 1:07:18that really helped out in that Robins
- 1:07:20Cup uh monthly competition was I took a
- 1:07:25trade during Asia
- 1:07:27and I caught like
- 1:07:30like a pretty good entry when we were
- 1:07:32ripping it to the upside in July and I
- 1:07:35added into the position and then I just
- 1:07:38let it run.
- 1:07:44So that that helped out obviously.
- 1:07:51I'll probably do it again though
- 1:07:55because I'm going to be real.
- 1:07:58It's really like
- 1:08:01like it's really not that difficult to
- 1:08:03win those. The the competition isn't
- 1:08:05that impressive. I would say that.
- 1:08:08You know what I mean? I want to do the
- 1:08:10quarterly though. I'm going to try and
- 1:08:11do the quarterly competition cuz who you
- 1:08:13know who cares about the I mean the
- 1:08:15monthly is cool and all but I I just did
- 1:08:18the monthly cuz I wanted a trophy
- 1:08:21wanted to get a trophy but the quarterly
- 1:08:24the quarter the quarterly is probably uh
- 1:08:28a little bit more important in people's
- 1:08:29eyes.
- 1:08:32So,
- 1:08:43did I trade with low R on competition?
- 1:08:45Absolutely not.
- 1:09:00Dude, I hope crypto is going to go up
- 1:09:02until the end of the year.
- 1:09:05My investments in crypto are down bad.
- 1:09:07Down tremendous.
- 1:09:13My portfolio is down like
- 1:09:16probably close to 70% from the top in
- 1:09:19October.
- 1:09:23It's sad. I don't even look at it
- 1:09:24anymore. It just makes me sad.
- 1:09:47Is that me? Yeah, that's me.
- 1:09:51Yes, sir. That's me.
- 1:10:33No trades yet. No, I tried to go long up
- 1:10:35here. I was looking for us to at the
- 1:10:36open hold above uh 68640.
- 1:10:39We pushed down initially at the open and
- 1:10:41we started flipping back bullish. I was
- 1:10:42looking for us to break past 760 and
- 1:10:44then I got stopped out.
- 1:10:48So then I'm
- 1:10:50It's on this account.
- 1:11:46Am I going to trade FOMC? You mean the
- 1:11:48minutes? FOMC minutes?
- 1:11:51No.
- 1:11:56No sir.
- 1:12:02I'm actually uh getting ready to stop
- 1:12:04trading or just stop sitting here.
- 1:12:08So, this feels like I'm wasting my time
- 1:12:09right now
- 1:12:11watching this.
- 1:12:23And instead, we can do a giveaway.
- 1:12:30Let's just do the giveaway. What do you
- 1:12:32guys think?
- 1:12:35You guys want to sit here and uh
- 1:12:39and look at a whole bunch of this for
- 1:12:42another who knows how long or you want
- 1:12:44to just do the giveaway
- 1:12:46and just call it a day? Chat says yes,
- 1:12:50just do the giveaway.
- 1:12:53All right. So,
- 1:12:57just a quick recap. Okay, we pump we
- 1:12:59pumped up due to some Treasury news
- 1:13:01pre-market. I was looking for us to hold
- 1:13:03above here. We tried to take a stab
- 1:13:06three micros
- 1:13:08on some longs. Target was around the
- 1:13:1229,880 area.
- 1:13:15Unfortunately, we dropped lower. Once we
- 1:13:16started dropping lower, I was watching
- 1:13:19this area,
- 1:13:22seeing if we were going to accept below
- 1:13:24it. We ended up just in a single
- 1:13:26fiveminute candle running it out
- 1:13:30and then now we're just doing a whole
- 1:13:31bunch of BS. So, we are down 353
- 1:13:37on
- 1:13:39this this account. We're up on our other
- 1:13:42accounts from Asia session. I
- 1:13:44[clears throat] passed two evos last
- 1:13:45night during Asia session.
- 1:13:49So, I not going to sit here and make it
- 1:13:52worse than this. I'd rather just wait uh
- 1:13:54for the um
- 1:13:58for the YouTube chat. If you guys would
- 1:14:00like to participate in the giveaway, you
- 1:14:03have to be in the in the Discord. The
- 1:14:05good thing about that is that it's a
- 1:14:07free Discord.
- 1:14:09So, all you got to do is join.
- 1:14:12Just join the Discord.
- 1:14:14There's a link in the description.
- 1:14:17I'm going to end the YouTube stream and
- 1:14:18I'm going to continue over here. We're
- 1:14:20going to take some secret trades with
- 1:14:21the Discord community.
- 1:14:25No, but I I I'll be back tomorrow. Um
- 1:14:28I'll be back tomorrow at YouTube.
- 1:14:33Unfortunately,
- 1:14:35past two weeks of August has been very
- 1:14:37boring to watch. I don't even know what
- 1:14:38you guys are thinking like like when you
- 1:14:40guys are watching these live streams cuz
- 1:14:43usually I mean in the past it's not like
- 1:14:44this, right? But there's really nothing
- 1:14:46I could do about this other than try and
- 1:14:49uh force a bunch of BS.
- 1:14:52So
- 1:14:54YouTube, see you tomorrow.
- 1:14:56Peace.
