  2. 0:35Yo, my bad. I didn't stream yesterday.
  3. 0:38I was uh
  4. 0:40slept in.
  5. 0:43But,
  6. 0:44here we are today.
  7. 0:46But, I did make
  8. 0:48most of my basically made all my money
  9. 0:50last night trading gold.
  10. 0:56Oh, my bad. You can't hear me. You can't
  11. 0:58hear me.
  12. 1:01I fixed it. Fixed it.
  13. 1:04I was just saying
  14. 1:05I didn't stream yesterday cuz I I woke
  15. 1:08up late.
  16. 1:11But, we're back. We're back.
  17. 1:14I made most of my money last night
  18. 1:15trading gold though, so
  19. 1:19we're
  20. 1:22potentially going to
  21. 1:24try and press it a little bit, but
  22. 1:27I am
  23. 1:30going to be trading on
  24. 1:35I have an account right now with deep
  25. 1:36charts on deep charts with a fittious.
  26. 1:40It's the uh
  27. 1:4225K static like the cash account.
  28. 1:46So, I'm going to try
  29. 1:49if I if I can get that to like 1,500
  30. 1:51today
  31. 1:53with a banger
  32. 1:56then we can actually get paid out.
  33. 1:58So, we're going to see if we can do
  34. 2:00that.
  35. 2:12And then tomorrow
  36. 2:14I'm going to be streaming with prop firm
  37. 2:16match on their YouTube, so
  38. 2:19I won't be in here.
  39. 2:21I won't be in the Discord or um
  40. 2:26my YouTube channel. I'll be on their
  41. 2:27YouTube channel for a bit.
  42. 2:33But, I'll send the link.
  43. 2:35Send the link.
  44. 2:46But, I'm hoping that we get a decent
  45. 2:48move today. Dude, I'm just like so
  46. 2:49suspicious at this point
  47. 2:52about every
  48. 2:54New York session open.
  49. 3:03Do I get paid for that?
  50. 3:11Christian, you can't hear me?
  51. 3:15Nah, I'll just go on there.
  52. 3:23But, they do give away accounts. So, if
  53. 3:25you ever want to
  54. 3:27Their live streams are pretty chill,
  55. 3:29although there's kind of a lot of
  56. 3:30talking going on.
  57. 3:36Espe- especially [clears throat] because
  58. 3:37I'm going to go on there. This is what
  59. 3:39happened last time I went on there.
  60. 3:41I go on prop firm match and then they're
  61. 3:43not use used to
  62. 3:46order flow. So, then I got to like
  63. 3:48explain order flow and stuff.
  64. 3:52Which when you're trying to trade
  65. 3:55it's probably not the best environment
  66. 3:57to try and teach somebody order flow
  67. 3:59when I'm trying to focus on trading.
  68. 4:02But,
  69. 4:07it's all right.
  70. 4:09So, basically just so you guys know what
  71. 4:11I'm looking at for today
  72. 4:15is we have been coming down overnight.
  73. 4:19There's a level on QQQ that I'm
  74. 4:22watching. It's 579 the strike price.
  75. 4:26I would like to see it hold. If it
  76. 4:27holds, then I would like to see us come
  77. 4:29back up.
  78. 4:31Take out these highs and then start
  79. 4:32making our way towards
  80. 4:34London highs.
  81. 4:36If it if it fails, it's it's around on
  82. 4:39on NQ. I'm pretty sure it's around like
  83. 4:4224,000, I think.
  84. 4:44If we start slamming through that
  85. 4:49then we might actually just like go a
  86. 4:52lot lower here today.
  87. 4:56We are in bearish structure.
  88. 4:58So,
  89. 5:03but I'm not trying to
  90. 5:06Look if this is 24,000, right?
  91. 5:11I'm not trying to necessarily anticipate
  92. 5:13us like dropping through here.
  93. 5:16It would
  94. 5:17I think it's more of an oppor- more of a
  95. 5:19chance we do one of these.
  96. 5:26But, we'll just have to see.
  97. 5:29But, to be completely honest, like
  98. 5:33I've been
  99. 5:35I've been just trading Asia gold
  100. 5:37for this for this account.
  101. 5:41I think I didn't stream yesterday, so
  102. 5:45just a recap while we wait for market
  103. 5:48open
  104. 5:49I think last time I streamed this
  105. 5:50account was like
  106. 5:54like a
  107. 5:55maybe a $5,500 balance.
  108. 5:59And then yesterday, I woke up late. I
  109. 6:01didn't stream, but I still traded.
  110. 6:05And I made like a thousand bucks on it.
  111. 6:07And then
  112. 6:09last [clears throat] night I took a long
  113. 6:10on gold when we were
  114. 6:13Here, let me show you.
  115. 6:16Oh, you guys couldn't even see the
  116. 6:17screen. [ __ ] my bad.
  117. 6:19But, last night on gold I took these
  118. 6:21these longs.
  119. 6:25Once I start once I saw it start pumping
  120. 6:27up, I just like piled in somewhere
  121. 6:29around right here.
  122. 6:31And then got out over here.
  123. 6:42So, just so you So, I'm going to say it
  124. 6:44again because
  125. 6:47you guys couldn't see the screen.
  126. 6:49Basically, I'm watching over here. I I
  127. 6:50would like us to not break past this. If
  128. 6:53we break past 24,000
  129. 6:57then I'm watching this area.
  130. 7:00If that makes sense.
  131. 7:04But, if we don't
  132. 7:06and we do one of these
  133. 7:08I'm watching up here.
  134. 7:11I'm watching up here.
  135. 7:23This is the close, so
  136. 7:27yeah.
  137. 7:28All right.
  138. 7:45And then also around 24,000
  139. 7:49is our ABR plus
  140. 7:51which I'm going to be paying attention
  141. 7:53to.
  142. 7:57Which is on this screen.
  143. 8:45We've been having a pretty tough week, I
  144. 8:47would I would say.
  145. 8:52Although, this would have been a good
  146. 8:53move
  147. 8:56yesterday if I would have woke up on
  148. 8:58time.
  149. 8:59We chopped up right here this day.
  150. 9:05This was okay.
  151. 9:06But, it was weird after this huge pump.
  152. 9:10Just a lot of consolidation off of the
  153. 9:12open.
  154. 9:15Which is annoying.
  155. 9:28But, on this account if I'm able to get
  156. 9:31like a winning day tomorrow
  157. 9:34I may be able
  158. 9:38to
  159. 9:44There's three trading days left in this
  160. 9:45month. I may be able to get a payout.
  161. 9:48I need
  162. 9:48>> [clears throat]
  163. 9:49>> two more days
  164. 9:53after today.
  165. 10:01>> And then if I take a payout on this
  166. 10:03account, it should put me at like
  167. 10:08I don't know, like 10 over 10 grand in
  168. 10:10payouts this month.
  169. 10:13Dude, we started off this month like
  170. 10:14down bad.
  171. 10:17When I blew all those accounts in the
  172. 10:18beginning of the month, I I thought I
  173. 10:20cooked this month, but we're we're
  174. 10:21making a comeback.
  175. 10:41Although I did I did spend a lot of
  176. 10:43money on evals this month. I spent like
  177. 10:45two grand,
  178. 10:47which is way more than normal.
  179. 10:49Evals and activations.
  180. 11:01So as of right now, I am net positive
  181. 11:03with the firms, but not by a lot, just
  182. 11:05by a few thousand dollars.
  183. 11:27Oh, that sucks.
  184. 11:29Having old accounts get rebuilt.
  185. 11:34It's annoying.
  186. 12:13What up, spaghetti?
  187. 12:20Yeah, this is ATAS.
  188. 12:22This is my footprint charts. This is a
  189. 12:245-minute
  190. 12:25and I'm looking at MNQ.
  191. 12:39Is gold about to pump right now?
  192. 12:44I wonder if it's about to pump come up
  193. 12:46into this area.
  194. 13:13Uh a delay on ATAS or a delay on like
  195. 13:17Project X?
  196. 13:32Uh I mean, it depends what data you
  197. 13:35have. My data is is good. My My data
  198. 13:38that I have with Rithmic
  199. 13:40through my live account,
  200. 13:43um it's
  201. 13:46usually better than
  202. 13:48the prop firms. Like sometimes I'll see
  203. 13:50the prop firms' data
  204. 13:52lagging.
  205. 13:54Oh, you're using
  206. 13:56prop firm data.
  207. 14:02Yeah, like there's times where I'll see
  208. 14:04the market moving on my
  209. 14:07my ATAS
  210. 14:10and then it's like
  211. 14:11I can see it lagging I can see like
  212. 14:14Project X or Topstep like lagging
  213. 14:16behind.
  214. 14:22Not all the time, but sometimes.
  215. 14:30Oh, that sucks.
  216. 15:24>> [snorts]
  217. 15:25>> Dude, I can't wait.
  218. 15:27I cannot wait for NQ
  219. 15:30to be back to normal during New York
  220. 15:32sessions where it actually goes
  221. 15:34somewhere
  222. 15:35in the AM session and not during lunch
  223. 15:38or pre-market.
  224. 15:48What is Panama?
  225. 15:54Uh
  226. 15:56>> [snorts]
  227. 16:04>> yeah, every market open so far this
  228. 16:06week, I've just been like suspicious
  229. 16:08about where it's going.
  230. 16:11I'm just being careful about getting
  231. 16:13caught in chop like
  232. 16:16and it's nasty chop, too. It's like
  233. 16:18100-point range
  234. 16:20whiplashing candles.
  235. 16:23You just get smoked.
  236. 16:33All right, we have the market opening up
  237. 16:34in like 5 seconds.
  238. 16:41>> [clears throat]
  239. 16:50[snorts]
  240. 17:49>> So it's better just to wait right now.
  241. 17:54I think uh
  242. 17:57What up, plat? I think
  243. 18:01I'm going to wait for this 5-minute
  244. 18:02candle to close.
  245. 18:06If we do start running lower,
  246. 18:09then I'm watching um
  247. 18:12down here,
  248. 18:14579 on QQQ and
  249. 18:19around 24,000 give or take 50 points.
  250. 19:22I'll show you right now, plat.
  251. 19:30See that?
  252. 19:32I'm watching this right here.
  253. 19:40Yeah, this is the heat map for ATAS.
  254. 19:51But I'm just waiting for now.
  255. 20:18We're going to see if it We're going to
  256. 20:19come down and take these lows, but
  257. 21:05I'll probably on this account, if I do
  258. 21:07trade it,
  259. 21:09I'm going to risk like 500 bucks.
  260. 21:15And if we lose, we'll switch over to our
  261. 21:1825K
  262. 21:20cash uh the 25K Fidus funded account.
  263. 22:06I'm seeing if we're going to
  264. 22:08push past this area.
  265. 22:16I really hope we don't just chop right
  266. 22:18here.
  267. 22:38What up, So- Soviet?
  268. 22:41Dude, how do I say your name? Is it Is
  269. 22:42it T-Rex?
  270. 22:44Soviet Rex?
  271. 22:46Sovi T-Rex?
  272. 23:15So, sellers are trying to push
  273. 23:17the
  274. 23:18I'm trying to I'm seeing if we're going
  275. 23:19to be successful in terms of like
  276. 23:21actually getting down here
  277. 23:24to make a new low.
  278. 23:27But we keep We're like kind of stalling
  279. 23:29in this area.
  280. 25:33All right.
  281. 25:36Are we going to chop?
  282. 25:39We're going to chop in this area, or we
  283. 25:41going to actually do something?
  284. 25:47I don't trust After this month, dude,
  285. 25:49I'm not trusting anything.
  286. 25:52I'm not trusting NQ's open.
  287. 26:26All right, here we go.
  288. 26:29Is he going to do it?
  289. 26:36All right, so we took the lows.
  290. 26:40We want to see if it's going to
  291. 26:41continue, though.
  292. 28:04Right now, I'm trying to see whether or
  293. 28:05not we're actually going to continue
  294. 28:06with some follow-through, or if we're
  295. 28:07just going to snap back up and stay in
  296. 28:09here.
  297. 29:17Oh, I'm starting to get a feeling that
  298. 29:19we're going to have a lame-ass market
  299. 29:21open.
  300. 29:23>> [sighs]
  301. 29:36>> Should we go look at gold?
  302. 29:40See what's gold what gold's doing.
  303. 29:46Yeah.
  304. 29:49We're not going to trade that either.
  305. 30:12Rest in peace to all the breakout
  306. 30:14traders.
  307. 30:15Smoked.
  308. 30:19Time frame? 5-minute.
  309. 30:24It's 5-minute time frame.
  310. 30:32How big is this candle?
  311. 30:3870 points.
  312. 30:48Well, at this point, like
  313. 30:53just got to sit on my hands. Although,
  314. 30:54you know what I'm looking at right now
  315. 30:55is I'm looking at the 15-minute.
  316. 30:59It's about to close, so.
  317. 31:05It's about to close with a nasty wick.
  318. 31:10Dude, give me a second.
  319. 31:26Oh, my bad. It was kind of chilly.
  320. 31:38Damn, look at that 15-minute close.
  321. 31:42It's [ __ ] nasty.
  322. 32:06All right, we're going to start pushing
  323. 32:07higher. We're going to snap back down to
  324. 32:09this [ __ ]
  325. 32:50Damn, you have a crazy delay.
  326. 32:57Yeah, I don't have that.
  327. 33:02It's because, you know why it is, too,
  328. 33:05is because
  329. 33:07if you're using Rithmic through prop
  330. 33:08firms, every prop firm has their own
  331. 33:11Rithmic server.
  332. 33:13So, if you're using Apex
  333. 33:15Yeah, it's not all the same. So, if
  334. 33:18you're using Apex, then
  335. 33:20you're on Apex Rithmic servers.
  336. 33:23I'm on just the normal Rithmic Chicago.
  337. 33:26Cuz I'm I
  338. 33:28have it through my own account.
  339. 33:31My own live account.
  340. 33:35Oh, are these breakout traders going to
  341. 33:37die, too? Are we just going to kill both
  342. 33:39of them?
  343. 33:40The ones down here and the ones up here.
  344. 33:49That's so nasty.
  345. 34:09As long as it's doing this BS, though, I
  346. 34:11probably just can't touch it.
  347. 34:16I'm going to hope that
  348. 34:18gold does something.
  349. 34:22This is gold, but we're ranging right
  350. 34:24here, like
  351. 34:25I mean, we could try and fade the highs
  352. 34:27right now,
  353. 34:28but
  354. 34:29it's probably not a good idea, cuz I
  355. 34:31think it's actually
  356. 34:35I think it might dig up here
  357. 34:37before it drops down.
  358. 34:52Now, if we continue to push up on NQ,
  359. 34:54then obviously I'm looking for these
  360. 34:55highs first, and then I'm looking for
  361. 34:57London highs.
  362. 35:00But, I just
  363. 35:01in this initial, like
  364. 35:04I need us to get away from here
  365. 35:07before I start to make any decisions.
  366. 36:15Damn, there's really nothing we could do
  367. 36:16right now. I just got to wait.
  368. 36:19Plus, I'm already up on the day, so it's
  369. 36:20like
  370. 36:24am I really going to try and force
  371. 36:27something right now
  372. 36:28when we're doing this and we did this?
  373. 36:33Mhm.
  374. 36:34Probably not.
  375. 36:36Just going to have to
  376. 36:38cross our fingers and hope that NQ moves
  377. 36:41somewhere.
  378. 36:47$11? Hell yeah.
  379. 36:51Banger.
  380. 37:35Well, we got 10 minutes until the hourly
  381. 37:37and the 4-hour closes.
  382. 37:42It's looking
  383. 37:43if it closes up here, it is looking
  384. 37:44pretty bullish.
  385. 37:50Yeah, I do.
  386. 37:55Mr. Mr. Breaker, yes, I do.
  387. 37:59It's up on my other screen right now.
  388. 38:00I'm looking at it.
  389. 38:35How accurate are they?
  390. 38:38I would say they're pretty accurate.
  391. 38:40Well, what do you mean? Like, the data?
  392. 38:43Or act like
  393. 38:46accurate in terms of like someone trying
  394. 38:48to take a bounce off of them or
  395. 38:49something.
  396. 38:58All right, so we took these highs. Are
  397. 38:59we going to actually continue
  398. 39:03and start coming up here?
  399. 39:06Watching here now.
  400. 39:13I would like the hourly to close,
  401. 39:14though.
  402. 39:17Up here. If we If we are going to come
  403. 39:19up here,
  404. 39:22then I need the hourly the hourly to
  405. 39:24close pretty strong.
  406. 39:29I use them for I use them for market
  407. 39:31regime
  408. 39:33to understand
  409. 39:35what type of environment
  410. 39:37we're currently in.
  411. 39:39I don't necessarily
  412. 39:42look at gamma levels and like just take
  413. 39:45a bounce off of them, although
  414. 39:47sometimes, [clears throat]
  415. 39:48but it depends.
  416. 39:51Because different gamma levels are
  417. 39:53there's different
  418. 39:55There there will be gamma levels all
  419. 39:57over your chart basically.
  420. 39:59I mean
  421. 40:01there's a few that are important though.
  422. 40:11But there's people who actually just
  423. 40:12wait until we get to a certain gamma
  424. 40:14levels or the gamma flip and then
  425. 40:21they take bounces and stuff and that
  426. 40:23works out great for them, but I just
  427. 40:24don't do that.
  428. 40:28Or if I do, it just depends.
  429. 40:38All right.
  430. 40:40It's looking pretty strong.
  431. 40:47Although there's nowhere that we can
  432. 40:48enter this
  433. 40:50really.
  434. 41:05Although the hourly's looking
  435. 41:07pretty bullish.
  436. 41:11Swap lows.
  437. 41:13And we're about to just
  438. 41:16pop back up into here.
  439. 41:19As long as it holds up here
  440. 41:21and the hourly retraces, creates the
  441. 41:23wick and starts pushing as well.
  442. 42:20I got to This is not going to be the
  443. 42:22high, but I got to see
  444. 42:24um
  445. 42:25what the hourly's going to do first.
  446. 42:31But this is
  447. 42:32This is definitely not going to be the
  448. 42:33high of the session.
  449. 42:39Pretty much, dude. I just look at
  450. 42:43not necessarily to predict market
  451. 42:45conditions, it's just to understand
  452. 42:46where we're at.
  453. 42:50You know, and and what type of moves are
  454. 42:53structurally allowed
  455. 42:56based off of dealer positioning.
  456. 43:03Like if I'm looking for a breakout
  457. 43:06but we're sitting in high positive gamma
  458. 43:09and my breakout is running straight into
  459. 43:11a call resistance or call wall.
  460. 43:15Well, then
  461. 43:16I may be careful about it.
  462. 43:20Because that volatility is going to get
  463. 43:22suppressed essentially.
  464. 43:25They're going to sell into the pump.
  465. 43:44How long have I been trading order flow?
  466. 43:46Uh
  467. 43:542 and 1/2 years.
  468. 44:17I'm looking to see if there's an
  469. 44:18opportunity for me to continue these uh
  470. 44:20longs.
  471. 44:22But I'm waiting for the hourly.
  472. 44:25Because
  473. 44:28the hourly can open up and retrace
  474. 44:30first.
  475. 44:41But if we do go long, we would be
  476. 44:43targeting uh
  477. 44:47targeting up here.
  478. 44:49Basically 24,300.
  479. 45:00Seeing results with order flow?
  480. 45:02Uh well, when I first got order flow
  481. 45:05I didn't really know how to use it.
  482. 45:07And actually just like
  483. 45:11it If if you don't know what you're
  484. 45:12looking at and you start trying to read
  485. 45:14a bunch of stuff that you don't
  486. 45:16understand what's happening, well, guess
  487. 45:17what? Now you got more stuff that you
  488. 45:19look at and more stuff that you could be
  489. 45:21wrong on.
  490. 45:23And then you end up losing more.
  491. 45:27Took a while.
  492. 45:29Um
  493. 45:35I would say I really started getting the
  494. 45:36hang of order flow like in terms of
  495. 45:39footprint charts because I I first
  496. 45:42started using Bookmap.
  497. 45:49Dude, no. Yeah, look at this 15-minute,
  498. 45:51dude. What the [ __ ]
  499. 45:55Sick.
  500. 45:59Super sick.
  501. 46:23Damn.
  502. 46:26>> [laughter]
  503. 46:29>> Damn.
  504. 46:32That's so nasty.
  505. 46:36All right, here we go. Hourly open.
  506. 46:38We're going to probably pop up here.
  507. 46:41At least take this take these little
  508. 46:43highs.
  509. 46:50There's just like nothing for me to
  510. 46:51enter on.
  511. 46:57What does the 50 What does the 15
  512. 47:00look like?
  513. 47:04Oh, dude, that was looking nasty for a
  514. 47:06second. That took what? 30 seconds for
  515. 47:08it to come all the way back up.
  516. 47:12It's kind of crazy.
  517. 47:22Trump's about to speak. Ooh.
  518. 47:26Ooh, he is about to speak.
  519. 47:30What's he going to speak about?
  520. 47:35Hopefully we get in a position and he
  521. 47:37says some [ __ ] that causes another 800
  522. 47:39or 900 point candle.
  523. 47:42I'll be so happy.
  524. 47:44If I'm on the right side If I'm on the
  525. 47:45right side of it at least.
  526. 48:04Ikigai, are you up right now?
  527. 48:06Swear this This guy always makes like
  528. 48:08$5,000 before market open.
  529. 48:12What's it looking like today?
  530. 48:17Did you cook or did you get cooked?
  531. 48:19Ooh.
  532. 48:21Yeah, it was pretty nasty so far. I
  533. 48:22haven't taken anything.
  534. 48:26I may not even take anything.
  535. 48:34I think I think uh
  536. 48:37gold and Asia, I think we're coming up
  537. 48:40becoming a little closer as friends. I
  538. 48:41think we're going to uh
  539. 48:44Back in October
  540. 48:46November
  541. 48:49and even December, I was really just
  542. 48:50trading gold.
  543. 48:52I wasn't even trading NQ.
  544. 48:56Because it was doing [ __ ] like this.
  545. 48:58So
  546. 49:02gold and I have a bit of a toxic
  547. 49:03relationship, so
  548. 49:06Yeah, I made a lot of money I made a lot
  549. 49:08of money on my accounts trading gold.
  550. 49:09Even this Even this account, dude, all
  551. 49:11of my profits so far this week
  552. 49:14like this week on this account, I'm up
  553. 49:17uh
  554. 49:18$6,700.
  555. 49:20So like
  556. 49:23almost all of that came from gold. I'd
  557. 49:26say like 80% of it.
  558. 49:29But it's like what am I supposed to do?
  559. 49:31Like we have NQ that's
  560. 49:33doing [ __ ] at the open. Am I just
  561. 49:36supposed to like
  562. 49:37force entries in this?
  563. 49:40Just cuz I want to make money now. I
  564. 49:42can't do that.
  565. 49:52Yeah, gold was great during the run-up.
  566. 49:55On the when we were having that run-up
  567. 49:57on gold,
  568. 50:00literally all you had to do was buy
  569. 50:02every pullback and then just hold it. It
  570. 50:04was like
  571. 50:08It was beautiful.
  572. 50:14Every every
  573. 50:15uh
  574. 50:17every CME open,
  575. 50:19you just buy it. You literally just buy
  576. 50:21gold and then it and then it runs.
  577. 50:25It was pretty legendary.
  578. 50:30Topstep got their ass handed to them.
  579. 50:33Prop firms got their ass handed to them.
  580. 50:35It was so easy to trade it. You just buy
  581. 50:36it.
  582. 50:38And then what do they do? They start
  583. 50:40restricting contracts. People would just
  584. 50:42buy it with heavy size, hold it, and
  585. 50:44then they were they would just make like
  586. 50:45crazy money.
  587. 50:57Yeah, we are having some pretty
  588. 51:00uh BS like look at this.
  589. 51:04Usually we have more volume for one
  590. 51:08and we actually go somewhere when the uh
  591. 51:114-hour candle opens up.
  592. 51:15We haven't done anything.
  593. 51:18But it's probably because if Trump's
  594. 51:20talking,
  595. 51:22I'm sure people want to be careful about
  596. 51:24trying to get into something before
  597. 51:27something like this. You know what I
  598. 51:29mean?
  599. 51:31Because if you're on the wrong side of
  600. 51:32that,
  601. 51:36we'll send you some flowers, brother,
  602. 51:38cuz you'll be done for.
  603. 51:42Your account will no longer exist.
  604. 51:47Actually speaking of that, just so that
  605. 51:49it doesn't
  606. 51:50like absolutely destroy me, I'm going to
  607. 51:52set a bracket for a stop loss just in
  608. 51:54case
  609. 51:55I don't have time
  610. 51:57if something just happens and I don't
  611. 51:59have time to move a stop in place.
  612. 52:03Cuz that happened to me one morning.
  613. 52:10I entered a trade without brackets cuz I
  614. 52:12usually just move my stop losses.
  615. 52:16Like move my stop to where it needs to
  616. 52:18go and then
  617. 52:20I entered a trade like maybe half of a
  618. 52:22second before some type of news
  619. 52:26about the war and the market pumped it
  620. 52:29100 points in the opposite direction. I
  621. 52:31instantly blew an account. Like
  622. 52:34It was
  623. 52:35nasty.
  624. 52:45I'm going to go long right here.
  625. 52:50>> We're going to see if we could just go
  626. 52:51make a new high.
  627. 52:53Stop's going to just be right below it.
  628. 52:55I'm going to just risk 300 bucks.
  629. 52:57If I lose this trade,
  630. 52:59moment we the moment we come up here,
  631. 53:04the moment we come up here, I'm going to
  632. 53:05move it to break even. But if I lose
  633. 53:06this trade, then I'm going to move over
  634. 53:08to the other account.
  635. 53:14We're going to go we're going to try and
  636. 53:15target
  637. 53:1724,300.
  638. 53:41All right, I'm going to move it to break
  639. 53:42even cuz I don't want this to snap back.
  640. 53:46I would like to see us just continue at
  641. 53:49this point.
  642. 53:51To 300.
  643. 53:56>> [snorts]
  644. 54:05>> Actually we'll try and take it to
  645. 54:07310.
  646. 54:12Order filled.
  647. 54:14Ooh.
  648. 54:19Ooh.
  649. 54:21What? We went
  650. 54:24like 30 points in the profit.
  651. 54:33Ooh.
  652. 54:40Dude, let's go look at gold, bro.
  653. 54:45Gold is also on [ __ ]
  654. 55:03What is this?
  655. 55:08Uh you might have to leave and join
  656. 55:09back.
  657. 55:26How
  658. 55:30210. Uh disgusting. Where is this? 210.
  659. 55:37.75
  660. 55:4230 points in profit.
  661. 55:46Bro, why can't we just have some
  662. 55:48follow-through? Like
  663. 55:53What the [ __ ] dude?
  664. 56:05Silver. We're going to trade some
  665. 56:07silver.
  666. 56:08[ __ ] looks This shit's dangerous.
  667. 56:12When we were when silver was running, I
  668. 56:14was trading it. Ooh.
  669. 56:17That'll get your heart pumping, dude.
  670. 56:39Good stuff, Zo.
  671. 56:40Good stuff.
  672. 56:43Could you explain imbalances? Are you
  673. 56:45talking about imbalances on the bid and
  674. 56:47the ask or like
  675. 56:49imbalances in terms of uh
  676. 56:53auction states?
  677. 56:57Bid in the ask.
  678. 57:00Well,
  679. 57:02what are you looking at? Like do you
  680. 57:04know what an imbalance is? If Just so
  681. 57:07you know, they're these like bold
  682. 57:09numbers on my screen.
  683. 57:11Okay?
  684. 57:13And I have it set for 400%.
  685. 57:16And what that is telling me is it's just
  686. 57:18telling me
  687. 57:20are there four times as many buyers or
  688. 57:23sellers in this area, right? So like
  689. 57:25right here.
  690. 57:29You see that sellers were hitting the
  691. 57:31bid
  692. 57:33and there's four times as many in this
  693. 57:35diagonal. You read it diagonal not side
  694. 57:37by side.
  695. 57:39And so
  696. 57:41that alone that information alone
  697. 57:45in isolation means nothing.
  698. 57:50But if we use it together with other
  699. 57:53stuff and we're reading the actual
  700. 57:55um
  701. 57:57auction in general of what's happening,
  702. 57:59we can use that information to try and
  703. 58:01make decisions.
  704. 58:15But just know that when you're looking
  705. 58:17at order flow, a lot of this stuff in
  706. 58:19isolation
  707. 58:21doesn't necessarily mean
  708. 58:24anything.
  709. 58:26It could just be noise.
  710. 58:52Uh you know what, bro?
  711. 58:55I spent like weeks of my time
  712. 59:01creating these like really nice PDFs
  713. 59:03that probably answer a lot of your
  714. 59:05questions.
  715. 59:10I literally took like 2 weeks of my time
  716. 59:12and created a single PDF. It's in the
  717. 59:16Discord.
  718. 59:17It's called auction resolution
  719. 59:20and it'll tell you exactly
  720. 59:23what I'm looking at.
  721. 59:25Thank you, Eddie.
  722. 59:28Yeah, help help a brother out. Help a
  723. 59:30brother out and read those.
  724. 59:41Honestly, like
  725. 59:43This is pretty nasty. If we if we don't
  726. 59:45start doing anything here within like
  727. 59:47the next
  728. 59:4815 minutes
  729. 59:50um
  730. 59:55It's probably a good idea not only just
  731. 59:57for me, but probably for all of you,
  732. 59:59too, if we just don't trade this.
  733. 1:00:151-minute entry absorption. No, I do not
  734. 1:00:17do that.
  735. 1:01:00Should we just try and force Oh.
  736. 1:01:03Whoops.
  737. 1:01:07Should we just try and force something
  738. 1:01:08right now?
  739. 1:01:15Yeah, the server's way better, bro.
  740. 1:01:17It's way better than YouTube. There's
  741. 1:01:19not as much of a delay.
  742. 1:01:39All right, let's try and force something
  743. 1:01:40here.
  744. 1:01:41Let's try and force some longs.
  745. 1:01:44I have $500 of drawdown on this account.
  746. 1:01:50Is it even a good idea to force
  747. 1:01:52something here?
  748. 1:01:54I don't know. I guess we'll find out.
  749. 1:01:57We'll have to risk.
  750. 1:01:59Mhm.
  751. 1:02:00We'll keep it really tight. I'm looking
  752. 1:02:02for this POC to hold in this candle to
  753. 1:02:04basically flip bullish.
  754. 1:02:08And we're going to try We're going to
  755. 1:02:09try and target the same area.
  756. 1:02:11Like 300.
  757. 1:02:13No, we'll go for 307.
  758. 1:02:17Try to make a clean thousand doll hairs.
  759. 1:02:24Oh my gosh.
  760. 1:02:26I'm going to move it to break even. I
  761. 1:02:27don't I I need it to just like go, you
  762. 1:02:29know what I mean? Like I don't want to
  763. 1:02:30deal with this like
  764. 1:02:33choppy
  765. 1:02:34[ __ ] Like if it's going to go
  766. 1:02:38just [ __ ] go, dude.
  767. 1:03:08Ah.
  768. 1:03:10Yeah, I need 1,500, I know, but I don't
  769. 1:03:13think if we go up I I don't think uh
  770. 1:03:26Sorry, I'm watching this just edge my
  771. 1:03:28stop loss right now.
  772. 1:03:40All right.
  773. 1:03:45And Q, dude.
  774. 1:03:49What are we doing?
  775. 1:03:53And also
  776. 1:03:54today like I'm moving my
  777. 1:03:57stops to break even pretty fast.
  778. 1:03:59Am I more inclined to trade the break or
  779. 1:04:01reversion?
  780. 1:04:04When? Right now?
  781. 1:04:07Or just in general?
  782. 1:04:11I know, Eddie. I need to make 1,500, but
  783. 1:04:14I just want us to come up here and if we
  784. 1:04:16were going to come up here, I'm just
  785. 1:04:18looking at
  786. 1:04:20I'm looking at these highs
  787. 1:04:22um
  788. 1:04:23for us to basically sweep them.
  789. 1:04:27But nothing.
  790. 1:04:28But nothing.
  791. 1:04:31We don't need to do it in one trade. I
  792. 1:04:32need drawdown on it, you know? Like it
  793. 1:04:34it only has $500 of drawdown. Like we're
  794. 1:04:40we're scraping by. I'm using five
  795. 1:04:41micros, like
  796. 1:04:44I can literally lose the account in two
  797. 1:04:47trades.
  798. 1:05:07Ah.
  799. 1:05:08>> [sighs]
  800. 1:05:12>> I think we're going to save that account
  801. 1:05:14for when we have more
  802. 1:05:17momentum.
  803. 1:05:21If we have $500 of drawdown
  804. 1:05:24the goal is
  805. 1:05:26with that account is wait for a time
  806. 1:05:28where we have like really strong long
  807. 1:05:30momentum
  808. 1:05:32and then pyramid into a winning position
  809. 1:05:34like super fat and then just try and hit
  810. 1:05:36the 1,500 in one day and let's just take
  811. 1:05:38the payout
  812. 1:05:40from it.
  813. 1:05:49I mean I pa- I passed that account one
  814. 1:05:51trade by doing the same thing. I just
  815. 1:05:53you start with five micros
  816. 1:05:55and then as price goes up and pulls back
  817. 1:05:58and goes up and pulls back like a strong
  818. 1:06:00momentum you just like keep adding on
  819. 1:06:01every break, like
  820. 1:06:03and then next thing you know you're in
  821. 1:06:0520 micros with stop at break even and
  822. 1:06:07all you need is 150 ticks from average
  823. 1:06:09entry and you just you got it.
  824. 1:06:12Or you hit break even.
  825. 1:06:27Dude, so I have this account, right?
  826. 1:06:29Check this one out.
  827. 1:06:31>> [laughter]
  828. 1:06:32>> It's got 53 bucks in it.
  829. 1:06:34There There was one time There was one
  830. 1:06:37time I've brought back an account from
  831. 1:06:3963 bucks to $2,500.
  832. 1:06:43So, I'm just I'm going to let this one
  833. 1:06:45simmer. I tried to do it last night. It
  834. 1:06:47didn't work, obviously. I lost like 40
  835. 1:06:49bucks.
  836. 1:06:51I'm going to let that one simmer.
  837. 1:06:53I'm going to wait.
  838. 1:06:57And we're going to try and bring it
  839. 1:06:58back.
  840. 1:06:59I need to build a little bit of profit
  841. 1:07:01on it
  842. 1:07:03so that I can just full port CPI with
  843. 1:07:05it.
  844. 1:07:07And then and then we're going to see if
  845. 1:07:08we could
  846. 1:07:09if we can bring it back from 53 bucks.
  847. 1:07:16It's possible. I swear. It's possible.
  848. 1:07:18I've literally done it before.
  849. 1:07:24You just got to be like super careful.
  850. 1:07:50Oh, that's crazy. Yeah, cuz they give
  851. 1:07:52you like $100. So, technically I have
  852. 1:07:54like 153 bucks in here, right?
  853. 1:07:58So
  854. 1:08:00if we can like just get like a couple
  855. 1:08:02hundred bucks going in there
  856. 1:08:06just by pyramiding one micro at a time
  857. 1:08:08on whatever I'm trading.
  858. 1:08:12I think we could
  859. 1:08:13I think we could bring it back.
  860. 1:08:16The odds are low.
  861. 1:08:20But it's still there. We still have a a
  862. 1:08:21chance.
  863. 1:08:36So, what do what do we do so far today?
  864. 1:08:37We took
  865. 1:08:39two trades, both went like
  866. 1:08:43100 ticks in profit and then they
  867. 1:08:45snapped back on us.
  868. 1:08:48And we got hit break even.
  869. 1:08:55Could be worse.
  870. 1:09:01Dude, later tonight
  871. 1:09:04I'm going to go play some poker.
  872. 1:09:09But I have a prop firm match live stream
  873. 1:09:11I got to do tomorrow.
  874. 1:09:15I might show up like super tired.
  875. 1:09:18Unless I lose all my money really
  876. 1:09:20quickly playing poker, but
  877. 1:09:25Is this it? Are we finally going to go
  878. 1:09:27up?
  879. 1:09:39Should we give it another try?
  880. 1:09:47Let's try and do it with a buy stop.
  881. 1:09:52Let's try it. Let's try and catch the
  882. 1:09:54break with a buy stop.
  883. 1:10:06By the way, this is a this is a If
  884. 1:10:09you're watching me do this, this is kind
  885. 1:10:10of a dangerous thing to do because we
  886. 1:10:11could
  887. 1:10:12snap up and snap back down like
  888. 1:10:14immediately.
  889. 1:10:40All right, we got to take it away.
  890. 1:10:47Yeah, I think we're going to lock out of
  891. 1:10:49this uh
  892. 1:10:51Topstep account. So, we're we're up 1771
  893. 1:10:54on that account.
  894. 1:10:55We'll take it. We'll let's focus on this
  895. 1:10:57one.
  896. 1:11:02We
  897. 1:11:03probably are not going to really trade
  898. 1:11:04this, but
  899. 1:11:09I'm going to give it a little bit of
  900. 1:11:09time here. I'm going to give it just a
  901. 1:11:11little bit of time.
  902. 1:12:33Have you guys traded this?
  903. 1:12:35Are you guys trading this or uh
  904. 1:12:43Are we all just sitting here?
  905. 1:12:52It's compressing pretty hard right now.
  906. 1:12:53Look at the 5-minute dude.
  907. 1:13:12Yeah, if we squeeze higher.
  908. 1:13:17That's why I was trying to see if we
  909. 1:13:18were going to do that. I tried to do it
  910. 1:13:20twice, but it came back to my break even
  911. 1:13:23after 25 points twice.
  912. 1:13:26I'm still open to it. I'm still open to
  913. 1:13:28it. I'm just
  914. 1:13:29waiting.
  915. 1:13:40Trying to short ES. What's going on over
  916. 1:13:42there?
  917. 1:13:43It's doing the same thing.
  918. 1:14:00Or you know what we can do
  919. 1:14:02if we're going to compress like this,
  920. 1:14:05if you got really big ass balls, when it
  921. 1:14:07starts dropping lower and everyone
  922. 1:14:09thinks we're about to drop lower, um
  923. 1:14:11maybe I might fade it.
  924. 1:14:13I'm going to fade it back into the
  925. 1:14:14range.
  926. 1:14:17And then try and catch my entry on longs
  927. 1:14:20down here.
  928. 1:14:26I just got to be careful, dude, because
  929. 1:14:28this has
  930. 1:14:29$500 of drawdown.
  931. 1:14:32We need to build it. We need to build it
  932. 1:14:33up.
  933. 1:14:58Get another one ready.
  934. 1:15:00Yeah, ghoul. Like
  935. 1:15:02I [clears throat] think it would be
  936. 1:15:03pretty ideal
  937. 1:15:05for a long scenario if we push down
  938. 1:15:07right now.
  939. 1:15:11And then we just like snap back up and
  940. 1:15:14then actually make the run
  941. 1:15:16higher. The only thing that's bothering
  942. 1:15:18me, though, is um
  943. 1:15:21Well, for one, volume is super low for
  944. 1:15:23the time being.
  945. 1:15:25And the hourly candle
  946. 1:15:28wicked and is coming down.
  947. 1:15:30And we're about halfway through it right
  948. 1:15:32now.
  949. 1:15:33But we're going to see if the the 15
  950. 1:15:35minutes about to open right now as well
  951. 1:15:37as like uh
  952. 1:15:38halfway through the hour.
  953. 1:15:41So, we'll see if it does anything.
  954. 1:15:45But I am kind of tempted to try and fade
  955. 1:15:48this if it does like a fake move lower.
  956. 1:15:53But I'm going to have to I'm going to
  957. 1:15:54have to put like a
  958. 1:15:58pretty tight stop loss.
  959. 1:16:01And then I'm going to move it to break
  960. 1:16:02even. I'm going to have to move it to
  961. 1:16:03break even like
  962. 1:16:05pretty [ __ ] fast.
  963. 1:16:29But if we're going to do it, I need to
  964. 1:16:30wait for the
  965. 1:16:31for this new candle. I would like to see
  966. 1:16:34it basically open,
  967. 1:16:37push,
  968. 1:16:38and then we're going to fade and then
  969. 1:16:39I'm going to try and fade it.
  970. 1:16:48Unless it's just going to do it right
  971. 1:16:50here. I hope not.
  972. 1:17:51Damn it, dude.
  973. 1:17:58Oh, is this about a run?
  974. 1:18:01Is this about
  975. 1:18:01>> [laughter]
  976. 1:18:04>> I wanted it to come a little lower
  977. 1:18:05first.
  978. 1:19:27>> Dude, what a lame.
  979. 1:19:29Why is new Why is NQ being so lame,
  980. 1:19:32dude?
  981. 1:19:38We're going to have to just
  982. 1:19:40switch over to switch over to Asia.
  983. 1:19:52Yeah, volume is dead.
  984. 1:19:55Yeah, do I just do I just sleep through
  985. 1:19:57the mornings now and and uh
  986. 1:19:59stay up for London and Asia?
  987. 1:20:07Yeah, pre-market's actually been making
  988. 1:20:08some decent moves.
  989. 1:20:15All right, is it going to give us an
  990. 1:20:16opportunity to fade it?
  991. 1:20:45Yeah, it's [ __ ] AIDS. It's AIDS.
  992. 1:21:00No, Eddie, watch it be like last time
  993. 1:21:02where we were noticing that London was
  994. 1:21:04making the best moves and then the
  995. 1:21:05moment I started trading London, it just
  996. 1:21:07turned into dog [ __ ]
  997. 1:21:18>> [laughter]
  998. 1:21:24>> I know. You're right. You're right.
  999. 1:22:46There's still a chance.
  1000. 1:23:08Yeah, how long have we been stuck here,
  1001. 1:23:10dude?
  1002. 1:23:13Almost an hour?
  1003. 1:24:03All right.
  1004. 1:24:05All right, go a little lower.
  1005. 1:24:07It's a little lower.
  1006. 1:24:10And then I'm going to try and fade it.
  1007. 1:24:14But I'm going to if I lose, I'm going to
  1008. 1:24:16risk like 200 I'm going to risk half of
  1009. 1:24:17my drawdown on this.
  1010. 1:24:20And then if I lose,
  1011. 1:24:23we'll just stop.
  1012. 1:24:29Fade it.
  1013. 1:24:33Fade it.
  1014. 1:24:34I'm going to try it.
  1015. 1:24:35Unless we break lower.
  1016. 1:24:47Come on, just stay in this range for a
  1017. 1:24:49little longer.
  1018. 1:25:00Mhm.
  1019. 1:25:01It's not a strong reaction back up.
  1020. 1:25:08Should we tighten it? Yeah, we should
  1021. 1:25:10probably tighten it.
  1022. 1:25:20Ooh.
  1023. 1:25:27It's all right. We'll We're only going
  1024. 1:25:28to lose 75 bucks. We'll still have $425
  1025. 1:25:32of drawdown. Actually, wait, I'm up 33
  1026. 1:25:34bucks. We're We're good.
  1027. 1:25:37We're good.
  1028. 1:25:54All right, let's go break even.
  1029. 1:25:58Let her fly. Come on.
  1030. 1:26:02We're going to be aiming for the same
  1031. 1:26:03thing again, 300.
  1032. 1:26:06Actually, 307.
  1033. 1:26:08Oh, wait, that's That would be
  1034. 1:26:10All right. We're going to go for the
  1035. 1:26:12pass in a single trade if we could get
  1036. 1:26:13up there.
  1037. 1:26:14Or the payout. We're going to go for a
  1038. 1:26:15payout in a single trade. No!
  1039. 1:26:45It's a new 5-minute.
  1040. 1:26:54Come on, who faded that with me? What?
  1041. 1:26:57Who faded that with me? What?
  1042. 1:27:01Let's go.
  1043. 1:27:04Squeeze it.
  1044. 1:27:06Push it up. Let me Dude, if this if this
  1045. 1:27:08hits my TP, I'll be able to take a
  1046. 1:27:10payout.
  1047. 1:27:12That'd be sick. Single trade. Well,
  1048. 1:27:15actually,
  1049. 1:27:16we'll say two trades.
  1050. 1:27:23Uh, but now we're at the top of the
  1051. 1:27:25range, so like
  1052. 1:27:29we need to either break it.
  1053. 1:27:33But we got a good entry. If it comes
  1054. 1:27:35down and wants to be whack, well, you
  1055. 1:27:36know what? Look at that, dude. Uh.
  1056. 1:27:39If it comes down, hits us out, it is
  1057. 1:27:41what it is. We gave it a shot. It went
  1058. 1:27:43like 50 points in the profit, so.
  1059. 1:27:49Ooh, what the hell was that?
  1060. 1:28:00>> [laughter]
  1061. 1:28:01>> Bro, what the [ __ ] was that? All right,
  1062. 1:28:04how far
  1063. 1:28:05Oh, dude, I can't.
  1064. 1:28:17That's a sign, dude. That's a sign we
  1065. 1:28:18got to stop.
  1066. 1:28:22Don't you [ __ ] dare [ __ ] pop back
  1067. 1:28:24up after that. Oh my god, dude.
  1068. 1:28:32Hold on, I got to go take a walk for a
  1069. 1:28:33second. Give me a second.
  1070. 1:28:58Oh.
  1071. 1:29:00Dude.
  1072. 1:29:04That was actually nuts.
  1073. 1:29:13You know why that happens? Cuz I'm
  1074. 1:29:15sitting up over I I was sitting here
  1075. 1:29:16being like Oh, yeah. Look at that. I'm
  1076. 1:29:18about to
  1077. 1:29:20I literally
  1078. 1:29:21I jinxed it, dude. I'm sorry. I jinxed
  1079. 1:29:23it.
  1080. 1:29:24No, that was nasty. We pushed up.
  1081. 1:29:28Got wrecked at the top of the range.
  1082. 1:29:31It was a decent idea. We were looking
  1083. 1:29:33for us to basically make a fake move
  1084. 1:29:35lower and then start popping up and
  1085. 1:29:37squeeze all the way to
  1086. 1:29:39London highs, but
  1087. 1:29:42it went like
  1088. 1:29:45How far in profit did this go?
  1089. 1:29:47Where did we get in? We got in somewhere
  1090. 1:29:49like right here, right?
  1091. 1:29:55Yeah, like dude, went like almost [ __ ]
  1092. 1:30:0360, we'll say 65 points in profit.
  1093. 1:30:14Yeah, you know what? It was a good
  1094. 1:30:15attempt.
  1095. 1:30:16It was all right.
  1096. 1:30:18But
  1097. 1:30:20that right there
  1098. 1:30:23is a sign
  1099. 1:30:25for me to stop.
  1100. 1:30:31So, recap recap of the day here.
  1101. 1:30:37I went long twice
  1102. 1:30:40in this area.
  1103. 1:30:43Both of them went 25 points in profit.
  1104. 1:30:47Came back and hit me at break even.
  1105. 1:30:49Then we went long right here.
  1106. 1:30:52Went 65 points in profit
  1107. 1:30:56and slammed back.
  1108. 1:30:58Slammed back and now we're going lower.
  1109. 1:31:02Or
  1110. 1:31:05yeah, so
  1111. 1:31:11little bit of a break even day. Good
  1112. 1:31:13thing I made money on my top sub account
  1113. 1:31:17last night with gold, so we're up 1,700.
  1114. 1:31:22We made $44 on this account.
  1115. 1:31:30No, I don't want to trade this, dude.
  1116. 1:31:34Did Was something said right there?
  1117. 1:31:39Oh my gosh.
  1118. 1:31:42That's what it was?
  1119. 1:31:44That's what cooked us?
  1120. 1:31:48Bro.
