0:41Yo, what's up?
1:22Oh, [ __ ]
1:48I need to fix this. Let's see.
2:17Yo, yo, what up?
2:32All right, that should be chill.
2:35>> [clears throat]
2:35>> All right, so basically
2:38well, thankfully, I mean, we had some
2:41pretty large moves during uh
2:44the overnight again, but it wasn't
2:46anything like the other couple days.
2:50Which is chill with me.
2:53So,
2:57what I'm thinking right now is
3:02we're watching this
3:04um
3:05push up a little bit pre-market.
3:08We have market open in 4 minutes.
3:11There's two things I'm watching for,
3:12whether or not we're going to come down
3:14to take
3:17Asia lows
3:18and then come into here, which is this
3:21is the area I'm going to be watching
3:23or paying attention to to see whether or
3:25not we're actually going to bounce in
3:27this area or if we're just going to
3:29start falling through it.
3:31But,
3:33if we continue to push up
3:35and we get past like
3:40I would say 25,075,
3:43like if we get past 100
3:46to 75 area,
3:48then at that point, I'm just going to be
3:50expecting us to take out
3:52um
3:55previous weekly highs, which previous
3:57weekly highs, let me just mark it out on
3:59my chart.
4:02It's up here.
4:05Well, my volume's low. Let me see.
4:17Is that Is that better? Is it louder?
4:26I'm moving my closer, too.
4:31So, yeah, previous weekly highs is
4:33basically what I'm looking for if we are
4:36going to continue our push up here.
4:39Although, preferably,
4:42I would like to see us
4:45come down into this area.
4:47And then try and long it out of here.
4:50If it makes sense to do so, like if it
4:52looks like buyers are actually stepping
4:53in over here.
5:08Um
5:10so, what this area is right here is
5:13we made this massive move up off of that
5:15Trump tweet regarding like the war being
5:19over soon.
5:21So, I'd like to see Well, first of all,
5:23I just want to see
5:24if we are going to go down, then we're
5:26probably going to take Asia lows if
5:28we're going to go down.
5:29So,
5:33I don't think that we just melt.
5:35I mean, we could, but
5:39but to answer your question,
5:42it's not just the discount fibs, but
5:44yes, it is also part of the fibs. So,
5:46like
5:48I'm watching the DLP. This is the DLP
5:50zone that I have.
5:52And then I'm watching discount from this
5:54leg up, basically from this swing low to
5:56this swing high.
5:59So, that's why I'm watching this area
6:00plus the imbalance plus
6:04uh
6:04I have
6:06my statistical volatility range area for
6:09average volatility range is also sitting
6:11right here. So, just a couple levels of
6:12mine that are just stacked with after we
6:15take lows, so I'm watching that area.
6:23Are you guys really not able to hear me
6:24like that?
6:28Let me see.
6:37That's weird.
6:51Ooh, we're pumping up right now.
6:56All right, my bad. I'm going to have to
6:57check the volume later, like it's uh New
6:59York open.
7:06Like, can you guys just not hear
7:08anything that I'm saying or what?
7:49So, just just so you guys know what I'm
7:51looking at, I'm
7:52I'll just mark this out.
8:02If we are going to continue up to
8:03previous weekly highs
8:06on another leg higher, then I'm watching
8:09I want to see us get past this area,
8:10otherwise
8:24otherwise, we still could like turn
8:26around.
8:28Basically.
8:32Yo, Joey, in the Discord, is my mic
8:33[ __ ] up or no?
8:37I didn't even change anything from uh
8:43All right, chill.
8:55Well, if you're in the YouTube and
8:57you're having trouble hearing me,
8:59you can join the Discord. Apparently,
9:00the volume's better than in there.
9:06And also today, I'm copy trading two of
9:10my just two accounts.
9:12An Apex uh yeah, an Apex PA and uh my
9:16Topstep
9:18XFA
9:20that you see right here.
10:21>> So, if we start flipping bearish, there
10:23is a chance that we could continue
10:27lower, but we got to wait, so
10:32even if this 5-minute candle decides to
10:34flip bearish right now, I still have to
10:38still have to wait for it to close.
10:49Because for longs, again, we're watching
10:51to see if it's going to break past this
10:52area or not.
10:59We came up into it and we wicked into
11:01it, but if we're going to continue
11:03towards previous weekly highs, which is
11:04pretty high up there, it's like 250
11:06points up.
11:08Well, I guess nowadays, it's not really
11:09that high up, but still 250 points away,
11:12basically.
11:14I'd like to see a strong close through
11:15this area.
12:20And today, I'm probably going to use
12:22like three micros, just
12:25at first, but I may add into a winning
12:27position, it just depends.
14:36If we start getting a pretty strong
14:38bearish close on this 5-minute candle
14:41and the 15-minute starts to flip, I may
14:44be
14:45maybe
14:47more inclined to try and take a short,
14:50but I just have to be
14:52kind of careful.
15:21Never use my reversal model. Yeah, I do.
15:29Just depends.
15:32Depends on market environment and
15:34depends on
15:36depends on a lot of things, actually.
15:47But I do.
15:54The only thing is just that
15:55reversal [clears throat] models, because
15:57they require so much more context and
16:02and criteria, basically, to make sure
16:04I'm not just like trying to catch a
16:06bottom
16:07or catch a top, they just don't happen
16:10as often, if that makes sense.
16:13Unless you try and force them.
16:20But definitely, like
16:24I take them.
16:25Just careful.
16:30What order indicator?
16:33You're talking just about these charts?
16:35This is a platform. It's not a
16:38indicator.
16:51So, I need to wait for us to start
16:53getting out of this area.
16:57We're still pretty close to where we
16:58opened up for New York.
17:01But Jack, if you're ask Oh, it's called
17:03ATAS. So, ATAS.
17:21Yeah, Ahmed, I've noticed that recently
17:23is that the biggest moves have been
17:25happening during Asia and London.
17:28So, it kind of [ __ ] up the New York
17:30open a little bit, sometimes.
17:34Causes us to
17:37kind of [ __ ] around for a little bit and
17:38then
17:40we make a move later, but
17:42that's why I'm just like extra careful
17:44about these opening ranges.
17:51At least recently, like if you were
17:53watching me stream, like let's say last
17:55month or the month before, there were a
17:58lot of times where
18:00I'd take a trade straight off the open
18:02if I knew where it was try if I had an
18:03idea of where it was trying to go to,
18:06but
18:07recently, I've been
18:09trying to chill. Although, yesterday, I
18:11did take a trade off the open, but
18:15I'm trying to be careful about doing
18:17that
18:18now because of these large overnight
18:21moves.
18:24Cuz prefer What I would prefer is like a
18:26smaller Asia range, a slightly bigger
18:28London range, and New York is the one
18:30that makes the move, but when we just
18:31have all three ranges
18:33all three sessions be the same.
18:37All right, we have a little bit of
18:38selling coming in, but
18:41we got to wait to see
18:45if there's really going to be any
18:45follow-through or if this was just a
18:47lame attempt.
18:49We're just going to snap back.
18:53If we do start going lower than where
18:55I'm watching is, I'm watching Asia lows
18:57and then to come down into here.
19:02Yeah, ATAS.
19:05ATAS, ATIS, ATOS, whatever people want
19:08to say.
19:26Think I'm actually going to
19:39I'm going to wait a second.
19:54Order filled.
19:55>> to go short right here.
20:02And I'm going to basically hope this
20:03doesn't snap back, right? So,
20:07probably put
20:09a stop.
20:12I'll risk 300 on this, so
20:15Where is that at?
20:1726,
20:19like right here.
20:22So, essentially, what I'm looking for
20:24right now is I'm looking for us to just
20:26begin to flush
20:28past this, sustain some pressure,
20:31and start targeting
20:33um
20:37Where is this?
20:398:30.
20:47Yeah, basically start targeting Asia
20:49lows.
20:54So, we'll see. We just took the We just
20:56basically wick past this, so we need
20:58pressure to continue, otherwise we're
21:00just going to continue to compress here.
21:06Pretty big TP.
21:09Yeah.
21:10We may get smacked.
21:17Order filled. All right, that's okay.
21:26Wanted to give it a shot.
21:29We just couldn't get any follow-through.
21:45Dude, I've been getting diddied
21:46recently.
21:59But, it's all right. I'm okay with that
22:01with that attempt.
22:08Although, if I do lose another trade,
22:10I'm I'm going to have to stop for the
22:13day.
22:19But, yeah, these New York opens have
22:20been kind of vicious
22:23cuz I want to see it continue, right?
22:26And have some follow-through and some
22:28direction.
22:29But, it seems like the past
22:32I don't know, week or so,
22:342 weeks,
22:36we've been doing this like
22:38push, snap back, push, snap back
22:43for like the first
22:4415 30 minutes of open.
22:53Uh to provide data, you can either use a
22:56prop firm that will provide the data, or
23:00you can purchase your own data, which is
23:02what I do. I just purchase my own data.
23:30Previous data to backtesting?
23:34Oh.
23:36I don't know, months,
23:39years.
23:40I don't know,
23:41to be honest. Their backtesting engine's
23:44pretty good, though.
23:59I mean, they have a 14-day free trial if
24:01you want to test out their backtesting
24:03engine.
24:52Um Deep Charts is similar. Yeah, it's
24:54made by Volumetrica.
24:56So, they have good cluster It's It's
24:59underrated. It has good cluster
25:01analysis, and they have really advanced
25:03volume profiles, too, so.
25:06I just
25:07I haven't used them yet because
25:10they only offer a 3-month subscription
25:14and no trial,
25:16which it's like
25:19you're going to force me to pay for 3
25:21months of a platform I don't even know
25:22if I like. That's kind of crazy.
25:26Good business tactic, though, but kind
25:28of crazy.
25:35Plus, I already use ATAS, so it's like
25:39ATAS kind of has everything that I need,
25:41except the only thing that Deep Charts
25:43has that ATAS doesn't really have that
25:45I've seen so far is just
25:48maybe some order execution tools, and
25:51then
25:52um
25:54their volume profiles are
25:57pretty nice.
26:00How they show delta like the delta on
26:03the side.
26:13Bro, why is New York doing this [ __ ]
26:16Is the new method we just we just stay
26:18up all night and trade London?
26:20Is that Is that what's happening now?
26:25We trade Asia and London and just like
26:27ignore [ __ ]
26:30New York?
26:52The opens have been kind of choppy.
26:55Just whip lash back and forth.
27:02But, you know what's interesting,
27:04though, is like maybe last month, we
27:06literally go from
27:09we open, immediately make a move. This
27:13This was happening like over and over
27:15every single morning. We open, we
27:17immediately make a move, we offer no
27:20pullbacks, we immediately hit the
27:22target, and then we just begin to chop
27:24and consolidate heading into lunch. And
27:27then now it's like the complete
27:28opposite.
27:29We open, we whip lash and chop,
27:33and then we make the move.
27:39At least that's what I notice.
27:46But, again, if if we are going to push
27:48up, then I'm waiting for us to get above
27:50this area.
27:54Otherwise, like to me, all of this [ __ ]
27:57right here is just noise to me.
28:10Uh today from the beginning of this
28:13year, I think I spent like $4,500
28:17on firms, and I pulled 33,000 in payouts
28:21for 2026.
28:31So, I don't know, net before taxes, what
28:33is that? Someone do the math. 29K? 28K?
28:36Something like that.
28:38Although, I [ __ ] up this month. I was
28:40supposed to start this month with like a
28:41$8,000 payout.
28:48I'd have to go back and look, bro.
29:02What, you pocket watching?
29:04>> [snorts]
29:06>> No, yeah, I don't know off the top of my
29:07head.
29:09I just know this year because we're in
29:10it. We're 2 months in.
29:12And I look at that Excel sheet every
29:13single day.
29:34But, I don't know, last year, if I could
29:36just guess, I probably
29:40from
29:41top stuff, I probably took like
29:44Last year, by the way, half of the year
29:46I was trading on a live account doing a
29:48small account challenge.
29:51So, I wasn't really trading props as
29:52much, but I think I still pulled like
29:55from Topstep
29:5850 or 60k, and then
30:03Alpha Futures
30:05like 10k, maybe.
30:10And then
30:13Yeah, probably. But, that was only like
30:15the second half of the year cuz
30:17the first 8 months I was trying to grow
30:18$500 into 10k.
30:22And I got it to 2,500 bucks, and then I
30:25blew it
30:26after 8 months, and then I just said,
30:28"Fuck this shit." And I went back to
30:29trading props.
30:33YM? Yeah, I don't really trade YM. I
30:35just trade NQ.
30:38Or gold. I'll trade gold, but and
30:40silver, but not recently.
30:45I was just doing it on that parabolic
30:46run for a few months.
30:49Like October, November, December.
30:52Little bit of January.
30:54I was trading uh silver and gold.
30:57But, yeah.
31:01So, we're kind of just like
31:04moving back and forth right now,
31:06honestly.
31:08As long as we're in this area
31:11I'm not going to touch this [ __ ]
31:13until we start picking up some speed and
31:15picking a direction, but I'm going to
31:17need some uh
31:19confirmation on that. There's no way I'm
31:21going to sit here.
31:23I already tried to take one attempt
31:25short. I'm okay with that attempt.
31:27I didn't know we were about to chop like
31:28this.
31:29But, now that I know that we're chopping
31:30like this
31:32then now I can make the decision just
31:33not to touch it.
31:37Cuz I do not want to lose money trading
31:39this [ __ ]
31:41I'd rather
31:43we get out of here first.
32:10Can buy low, sell high. I mean, dude,
32:13there's people who probably
32:16like to trade ranges or chops.
32:20You'd be killing it.
32:22Because these are big.
32:24Like, if you go look at, I don't know,
32:25like a 3-minute time frame. Like, look
32:27at that.
32:29This is a 100-point area. I mean, every
32:31time we get to the highs and every time
32:33we get to the lows, if you just
32:35reverse it and we don't break out of
32:37here, I mean, you can probably keep
32:38catching
32:4125 uh
32:4625 points.
33:48Well, at least we have the uh
33:514-hour candle opening
33:57in like 3 minutes. There's also
33:59technically
34:00existing home sales or something, but
34:03that doesn't really move the market that
34:04much, so we don't really care for it.
34:07It's just good to know it's there.
34:30>> [snorts]
34:37>> Although, if the 4-hour opens and we
34:38continue to just like range in this
34:41100-point range, then I'm probably just
34:43going to have to do do the same thing as
34:45yesterday and just
34:48call it early.
34:56We're about 30 minutes into open, and we
34:58haven't gone anywhere. This is the open.
40:24>> It's like I'm going to wait for this
40:265-minute candle to close.
40:29I want to see how it closes, but
40:33the idea that I've had all morning
40:35basically is I want to see us come down
40:37here, but the way it's delivering is
40:39like kind of weird. We try to give it a
40:41shot here. We came up first, and now
40:43we're coming down, but even now
40:51I would ex- I was expecting this to kind
40:52of happen a little bit faster.
40:55And if we're going to do this weird
40:57uh whiplashing move down
41:01with 50-point candles
41:04then I may not be able to get an entry
41:06on it, but
41:11it's all right. I'd rather uh I'd rather
41:12not get an entry on that than um
41:16see a spike down and then try and chase
41:18that and then it just does this.
41:20You know, it goes back up.
41:44Yeah, this closure
41:46that's not a good look for uh if you're
41:49trying to go short.
41:55So, I guess at this point the question
41:57is really just are we just going to stay
41:59right here?
42:05And then later during like lunch or
42:08the PM session, we actually make a move.
42:12Maybe right now. But
43:44All right.
43:47Not always, but most of the time, yeah,
43:49I do because I use a 5-minute for uh
43:53my basically my top my entry time frame.
43:58So, it's slower. So, like, you know, if
44:00you watch somebody who does 1-minute
44:04candles or they trade on the 1-minute um
44:09It's like it's a lot faster paced.
44:13And they may have like a bunch of
44:15entries or whatever, but
44:18I like to trade off the 5-minute.
44:20Although, every once in a while if the
44:225-minute is looking pretty good but
44:26I'm worried that it's going to just run
44:29without offering me an entry, sometimes
44:31I'll drop down to a 3-minute, but I
44:33never go lower than that.
44:35Unless I'm tilting. If I'm tilting, then
44:37yeah, I'll do whatever.
44:39But no, we're usually looking at the
44:415-minute.
45:02That's awesome. I'm glad that you like
45:03it.
45:27So, if we get a strong bearish close on
45:29this candle before before
45:33we take these lows
45:37I may try and take a short. But
45:41if this 5-minute just rips down in the
45:43next minute and it closes and
45:46breaks past this
45:49then
45:50I'm actually just going to stop trading.
45:52So, if this 5-minute candle goes and
45:53takes this low, I'm
45:56probably going to be done.
47:55Right now, I'm watching this low volume
47:57node. If we push up into it, I'm going
47:59to short it.
48:01If it doesn't push up into it, then I'll
48:03just let it go.
48:05But I'm expecting this to take this low
48:07and push and start flushing lower.
48:10I just want a better entry.
48:14I don't want to short it right here.
48:20Although, it looks like it might just
48:23dump.
48:54So, I actually have limit orders set
48:56here.
48:58>> So, we'll see how many get tagged in. I
49:01basically just don't want to see us
49:06come all the way back here. I'm
49:07expecting or what I'd want to see, not
49:10necessarily expecting, but
49:13well, I guess uh cuz I'm taking a trade.
49:15I'm not If we're going to continue
49:16lower, I don't want us to get past this
49:18area.
49:22And the moment that we take these lows,
49:23we're I'm going to go break even.
49:30But if it snaps back up into this range,
49:32then, you know, it just it is what it
49:34is.
49:38And the full target is going to be like
49:408:30.
49:42Go all the way down here.
50:03Damn, I can't. All right, let me just
50:07All right, there we go.
50:45Order filled. Oh, [ __ ] Hold on.
50:48I didn't realize that that was five.
50:50Woof.
50:52Woof.
50:54Thank god I saw that. Oh, dude, I put
50:58five micros right there by accident. It
51:00would have caused a really big loss.
51:03Or not a really big loss, but just a
51:05loss bigger than
51:07what I would have wanted.
51:12Damn, that was sketchy.
51:59Yeah, my stop loss. So, basically, like
52:01I said, if we're actually going to
52:03continue lower, I don't want to
52:05see us really get above this uh low
52:07volume node. Now, in the event that we I
52:09need to give it some room, right? So, I
52:11need to give it a little bit of room to
52:13wick past it and come back. But, once we
52:16start getting past this
52:18um
52:205-minute open, the one that started
52:21making this move down, we're entering
52:23back into this range area and that at
52:26that point this whole trade idea is just
52:28like totally out the water, so.
52:32The moment that we start pushing past
52:34here to take these lows, I'm moving my
52:36stop. I'm removing this limit and I'm
52:38moving my stop to break even. We're
52:40trying to target
52:42down to
52:44basically Asia lows.
52:46Which is
52:48roughly we'll front run it a little bit,
52:508:31 we'll say.
52:52So, we just took the lows. We're going
52:53to remove this. We're going to go to
52:54break even.
52:56And we're going to look for it to flush.
52:58We don't want it to snap back. If it
53:00does, then
53:02I don't want to be in the trade anymore
53:03anyways, because
53:06if we're going to continue past the
53:08lows, I'm expecting it to happen
53:09relatively quickly, if that makes sense.
53:38But again, it looks like we're
53:39struggling to break past this area, so.
53:42It's just making me think that we're
53:44likely to
53:46if we don't actually break lower,
53:49it's likely we're just going to chop all
53:51AM session.
53:52And then I'm just going to stop
53:55and come back tomorrow.
54:20And like we could sit here
54:22and like try and take profit and cover
54:25some of the losses, but [ __ ] that.
54:31This is what a [ __ ] would do.
54:36We're going to see if we can get a
54:36flush.
54:41Cuz if it does break lower, in my
54:42opinion, we're for sure coming here.
54:45But, it's just whether or not we're
54:46actually going to have any type of
54:48follow through.
55:06It's not looking good though.
55:07I'll tell you that.
55:43So, those are just weak. It's just weak.
55:52We're about to flip.
55:55And then we're going to we're going to
55:56snap back up into this range if we flip.
55:59Order filled.
56:05[ __ ] NQ, dude.
56:09All right, it's all right.
56:11So, now we're going back into the range.
56:13That's why I moved my stop to break
56:14even. But,
56:19I was okay with that with that attempt.
56:21We gave it a shot.
56:23It didn't want to continue.
56:27Entry was decent.
56:29But, um just no follow through.
56:32Now, we're coming back up back into this
56:34area.
56:35We may like come back up and then roll
56:37over again, but I'm at this point like
56:40this is kind of like a
56:42like I don't want to trade this anymore.
56:45We're not having any type of follow
56:46through.
56:47So,
56:49may happen later, but I don't usually
56:50trade later.
56:51I only trade the AM session.
56:54We wanted to see price go lower. We
56:56tried to take a short here. Got stopped
56:58and then it came down.
57:00Tried to take a short here, came down.
57:03Just barely wicked this low, so we moved
57:05stop to break even.
57:07No follow through. We stalled out here
57:09for like
57:11basically the entire 5 minutes, and then
57:14now we're snapping back up.
57:17So,
57:18that being said,
57:23just going to have to take my L on the
57:25day.
57:29So, I'll be back tomorrow.
57:32And uh if you're going to continue to
57:33trade, just be careful cuz
57:37this is kind of
57:38for me this is kind of nasty.
57:41But, yeah.
57:43All right, peace.
