- 0:00Friends, I don't remember where I came
- 0:02from. He sent me and didn't tell me
- 0:04anything. I don't remember how I spent
- 0:06that day. It was like an illusion or a
- 0:08miracle. I came with life, after life.
- 0:12I was after life, to know life. I took
- 0:15charge of life's path. I will remain
- 0:17awake every moment after I die. I wrote
- 0:19this when I was at the lowest point in
- 0:21my life. I had only one option: either
- 0:23die or do. I had decided that life is a
- 0:25struggle. Life is a field where we play
- 0:27. I am not going to give up, I will
- 0:29finish the whole game. Ever since I
- 0:31started doing, I am doing. So I
- 0:33understood it very closely. I had
- 0:34decided that I should not move from my
- 0:36place. Dying is not an option. Working
- 0:39is an option. Moving forward is an
- 0:40option. Anyone can die, but the main
- 0:42game within the struggle of the players
- 0:45will be the work that will rise from
- 0:47the bottom. So what is a heat map?
- 0:49Today we are going to learn. What is a
- 0:50heat map? I'll reveal all its
- 0:52intricacies and pieces. You'll learn
- 0:54every single thing about the entire
- 0:55heat map. Whether it's trading, trading
- 0:58, trading gold, currencies, or crypto,
- 1:00you can do anything. Everything is
- 1:02possible with a heat map. So, today,
- 1:04let's learn what a heat map is. "A heat
- 1:06map is a visual representation of the
- 1:08order book that displays where large
- 1:10pending buy and sell limit orders are
- 1:12placed in the market." We learned about
- 1:14the order book, or DOM, in the first
- 1:16episode; this is its visual
- 1:18representation. It transforms complex
- 1:20order book data into easy-to-read color
- 1:22zones, allowing traders to instantly
- 1:24identify areas of high liquidity and
- 1:27potential price reaction. Now, look, we
- 1:29didn't have Einstein as our father,
- 1:30which is why we remember numbers so
- 1:32well. A normal person can't remember
- 1:34numbers well. But our brain remembers
- 1:37colors very well. That's why a heat map
- 1:39of this entire set of numbers was
- 1:40created. Liquidity walls have been
- 1:42created, allowing our decisions to be
- 1:44made much more instantly. Unlike
- 1:46traditional chart analysis, a heat map
- 1:49lets you see liquidity walls directly
- 1:51implying predicting where they might be
- 1:54. It tells you not to predict. Like
- 1:56what people do today? They start
- 1:58predicting, "There's liquidity here.
- 2:00There's liquidity here. There's
- 2:01liquidity here." Brother, your father
- 2:02left behind a prediction that there's
- 2:03liquidity here. Rather than relying on
- 2:05assumptions, indicators, and someone
- 2:07else's opinion, traders can observe
- 2:09where significant liquidity is actually
- 2:11resting in the order book. You must
- 2:13have seen traders nowadays—take every
- 2:15trader's live—liquidity, liquidity,
- 2:17liquidity sweep, liquidity gap. Brother
- 2:19, where does liquidity gap come from?
- 2:20Where does sweep come from? You don't
- 2:22even know their meaning. When I explain
- 2:23it to you today, I'll explain it to you
- 2:25. Liquidity sweeps happen everywhere,
- 2:26liquidity disappears everywhere.
- 2:28Liquidity is present throughout the
- 2:29chart, so you should say liquidity
- 2:31everywhere; why are you only talking
- 2:32about the top or the bottom? Or why are
- 2:33you talking about zones at the bottom?
- 2:35People don't understand. They'll just
- 2:37tell you something to run their
- 2:38business. You'll get caught, and their
- 2:39work will be done. This is because heat
- 2:42maps are widely used by professional
- 2:44traders and institutional market
- 2:46participants to better understand
- 2:48market liquidity and make more informed
- 2:50trading decisions. Even the big players
- 2:53use these things. They use liquidity
- 2:55walls and liquidity zones, through
- 2:57which they can make informed decisions
- 2:59and read the market's liquidity, which
- 3:01greatly enhances their trading. You can
- 3:03see this in this area. I'll play it
- 3:05here. This is a liquidity wall where
- 3:07buying orders have been placed since
- 3:09around 2009. Price is coming in here.
- 3:11After this, see selling orders coming
- 3:12in. How aggressively, but below there
- 3:14is a passive order liquidity wall. It
- 3:16absorbed it, causing the price to start
- 3:19moving up. Because there were so many
- 3:21orders, there was a shortage of
- 3:22aggressive orders, and the passive
- 3:24orders below were more, which led to a
- 3:25surplus of pending orders, and from
- 3:26there, the price reacted, pushing the
- 3:28price up. This way, you'll start
- 3:30enhancing your trading today. Top Three
- 3:32Order Flow and Heat Map Software. While
- 3:34there are many software available for
- 3:36order flow and heat maps in the market,
- 3:37the primary ones we're using are these
- 3:39top three. We're using Bookmap first,
- 3:42which has an advanced heat map. We're
- 3:44using Motiva as a standard, which
- 3:46allows us to create an order flow plus
- 3:48a complete system all in one. Etask is
- 3:50quite advanced, allowing us to create
- 3:52advanced heat maps. We'll also find an
- 3:54advanced order flow tool within it.
- 3:56Once we figure out the costing, we'll
- 3:58see you'll avoid any problems. I'll
- 4:00tell you where to get it. Bookmp costs
- 4:02$ 13 per month, which includes the
- 4:05platform itself, a $ 50.00 feed, which
- 4:07costs $ 34 per month. Pro Trader is a
- 4:10plugin and add-on through which we
- 4:12refine our bots. Now, this entire
- 4:14package I've described is per month.
- 4:16It's regular. It's not discounted. What
- 4:18about the discount? You'll get one for
- 4:20one month. But I've calculated regular.
- 4:23Talking about eTask, eTask is currently
- 4:25offering one. I've spoken with them.
- 4:27Although I don't have any referrals, I
- 4:29spoke with them just to explain.
- 4:31There's a firm called Pro Trader, where
- 4:33you can get an account for as low as $
- 4:3613 with a rhythmic field. Within this,
- 4:38you'll also get Level 2 rhythmic data.
- 4:40If you email them on their support chat
- 4:42and ask them to activate it, they'll
- 4:43activate it. However, you'll get Level
- 4:451 data. Their regular price is $ 32 per
- 4:48month. Currently, there was an offer
- 4:49for $ 13. You can see that. Talking
- 4:51about Motive, it's $ 7 and $ 63. Now
- 4:54it's $ 63. This is CME's offer for ES
- 4:57and NQ. But if you want to go Gold,
- 4:59you'll need to buy the full bundle. Now
- 5:01, talking about software, you get $ 50
- 5:03lifetime with Lucid Flex, provided you
- 5:05don't breach your account. You'll also
- 5:08need to get a level 2 field if you want
- 5:10to run a heatmap. In the following
- 5:12videos, we'll learn how to create a
- 5:14heatmap within Motive and how to set it
- 5:16up. For now, we'll only talk about
- 5:18Bookmap, as I'll be explaining it first
- 5:19. I personally use it. The fundamental
- 5:23themes are almost the same. You just
- 5:25need to understand. It has an Advanced
- 5:26Hitmap. You can do all-in-one with
- 5:28Motive within it. It has a low lifetime
- 5:30cost and is the best value. Ask it
- 5:32completely. Now let's see where to buy
- 5:35it. Look, I've reached the Bookamp
- 5:36website. I clicked on Pricing. You'll
- 5:39see a website like this. You'll see
- 5:40three plans here. Scroll down three or
- 5:43four times and you'll see Pricing. You
- 5:45shouldn't take the Digital Plus plan.
- 5:47The futures included in it won't work.
- 5:49Their monthly plan is $ 49 per month
- 5:50for Global. If you buy Yearly, it'll
- 5:53cost $ 39 per month. If you buy
- 5:56Lifetime, it'll cost $ 99. Don't go for
- 5:58Global Plus. It won't be useful.
- 6:00There's no benefit in paying extra
- 6:01money. You have to buy this one. If you
- 6:03want to buy it, then let's talk about
- 6:05futures, stocks, and crypto. This is
- 6:07the feed below, there are three types
- 6:08of feeds: one is Rhythmic, one is DX,
- 6:10and one is Bookamp. I prefer the
- 6:11Bookamp Data one; there's no benefit in
- 6:13buying Rhythmic. You can also see the
- 6:16historical data within the bookmap.
- 6:19They have ongoing offers, like 50%off
- 6:20for the first month. As I mentioned, it
- 6:22starts at $ 17, but the regular price
- 6:25is $ 34. If you're trading ESNQ, you'll
- 6:28need to select CME Group, or the CME
- 6:30field. If you're trading Gold or Silver
- 6:32, you'll need to select COMX. After
- 6:34doing this, your bookmap will open. Now
- 6:37let's move on to Motiva. Let's learn
- 6:39about Motiva's costing. Look, we know
- 6:41its one-lifetime cost. So, the order
- 6:44flow subscription costs around $ 600
- 6:46for a lifetime. Speaking of iTask, I'm
- 6:50going to buy it for a lifetime after
- 6:51some time because I've completely
- 6:53shifted to iTask. It's quite good. It's
- 6:55quite smooth. I can execute orders. All
- 6:57the work is done. So, I'll take this
- 6:59Pro version in the future. I've already
- 7:01purchased this one-month paid plan from
- 7:03here, and it's much better. The future
- 7:05data in this plan will be connected.
- 7:07This plan won't be available in these
- 7:07plans. Future data in these plans can't
- 7:09be connected in real time. So, if you
- 7:11want to test it for a month, you can
- 7:12get it from here. This is one way,
- 7:14you're buying it directly on the
- 7:15website. Okay? What I mentioned is the
- 7:18shortcut from here, which will cost you
- 7:20$ 3 per month. Later, you'll have to
- 7:23pay $ 32 per month. So, this is a
- 7:24pretty good way. It's for one month.
- 7:26But if you want it for life, I'd say
- 7:28you can go with it completely, because
- 7:31I'm going to. Anyone who doesn't have
- 7:33the money right now should avoid it.
- 7:35Start here. Earn money gradually. Learn
- 7:37from my video, and then we'll move on.
- 7:39So let's take a quick overview of the
- 7:41Hitap bookmap to help you understand.
- 7:44Click on it and it will open as follows
- 7:46. Once opened, three options will
- 7:48appear. You can see that within a few
- 7:50moments, three options will appear. One
- 7:52is simulation mode, where we perform
- 7:55normal analysis. Another is trading
- 7:57mode, where we can also trade. Another
- 7:59is replay mode, where we can record
- 8:01data and play it back in replay for
- 8:03analysis. You need to select simulation
- 8:05and click OK. As soon as you click OK,
- 8:07it will open immediately after a short
- 8:09time. You can see it opening. Once open
- 8:11, it will show you something like this:
- 8:13On the right side, you can see the
- 8:15current order book or volume profile.
- 8:17Here, you will see the overall
- 8:19liquidity. Above this option, you will
- 8:21see a connection option. From here, you
- 8:23can choose your feed, which I mentioned
- 8:25. For example, I clicked on connection.
- 8:27Here is my bookmap data feed, which I
- 8:29mentioned. If you want to buy, it will
- 8:31be displayed here. You'll need to
- 8:33connect to it, along with Rhythmic.
- 8:35Let's assume you've purchased Level 2
- 8:37data from Lucid or from For Prop Trader
- 8:39. Now, let's assume you have to choose
- 8:41between a Rhythmic connection or a
- 8:43Bookmap data connection. Go to Add
- 8:45Connection. After doing this, Bookmap
- 8:47data is already selected; if you use
- 8:48Bookmap, it will already be available.
- 8:50You don't have to do anything in this
- 8:51case. Just click OK and click on the
- 8:54connection from here. It will connect.
- 8:57If you want to buy from Lucid or any
- 8:58other platform, how do you do it? Look,
- 8:59I've already done it here. Go to Add
- 9:01Connection. Similarly, this window will
- 9:03open. Click on Platform at the top.
- 9:05Select Rhythmic here. If there are
- 9:07different fields for Rhythmic or
- 9:08anything else, you can select them. You
- 9:10can use Binance. If someone is trading
- 9:12crypto, they should trade Rhythmic.
- 9:13After doing this, enter any name here:
- 9:15"Connection Name." It doesn't matter.
- 9:17You can enter your username. You can
- 9:19also enter Rhythmic's password. Go to
- 9:21System and select "Likely Trading."
- 9:23Enter your gateway and click OK. Once
- 9:25you click OK, go to "Connection." All
- 9:27these elements will have been entered.
- 9:28As soon as you click on them, as in my
- 9:30case, I clicked on "Bookmap." It
- 9:32automatically selected after clicking.
- 9:34Now, don't forget one thing: What does
- 9:36this plus icon do? Click here to add an
- 9:38instrument. For example, "Gold,""Silver
- 9:41," or any other instrument you trade.
- 9:43You need to select the platform name.
- 9:45For example, "Bookmap." We have
- 9:46attached the "Bookmap" data feed. If we
- 9:49attach Rhythmic, it will also display
- 9:51Rhythmic's name. When you select "
- 9:52Rhythmic" from the profile, you'll see
- 9:55a separate symbol under "Symbol." I
- 9:57clicked on futures, I'm trading futures
- 9:58. I clicked on the exchange, I clicked
- 10:00on comex, because I'm trading gold.
- 10:01Then I do CMA, then I do ES NQ. Now I
- 10:04clicked on gc q6. Look, I've entered gc
- 10:07q6 here. This is the codeword for gold.
- 10:10Gold's codewords keep changing. Who
- 10:12knows, in your case, it might not show
- 10:13anything, or it might show you
- 10:15something blank. All you have to do is
- 10:16enter this code and subscribe. These
- 10:18codes change all the time. Every few
- 10:20months, you'll find these codes on
- 10:21their website. After that, you just
- 10:23need to subscribe. As soon as you do,
- 10:24it will open completely. For now, we'll
- 10:26cancel it. So, here it shows you all
- 10:28the liquidity. So, I'd like to give you
- 10:30an overview. This area above is the
- 10:32entire settings area. Okay? The area
- 10:34above. On the right side is COB. COB is
- 10:36the current order book. Here you'll
- 10:38also see the volume profile on the
- 10:40right side. If you want to cut it, you
- 10:41can do that. This is all the liquidity.
- 10:43You'll see a line in the middle. Look
- 10:45at this line, this line is visible. All
- 10:47the data to the right of this line
- 10:49represents the current liquidity in the
- 10:50market right now. The data behind this
- 10:53line is the liquidity that has passed,
- 10:54the orders that were placed, the orders
- 10:56that have disappeared, the orders that
- 10:57have been lost. That's all the
- 10:58liquidity. The liquidity in front is
- 11:00the resting liquidity of the current
- 11:02market. Now, what is this COB? It's the
- 11:04current order book. Let's do one thing
- 11:06with it. We open Motive and compare
- 11:08both data points once to see if they're
- 11:10accurate or bad. You can see there are
- 11:1317 orders placed at 4184. So let's move
- 11:16to 4184, brother. So let's move down.
- 11:18So, look, there are 17 orders placed at
- 11:204184. Similarly, let's move up. There
- 11:23are 28 orders placed at 4198. So let's
- 11:25move to Motive A. So, 4198 is going up.
- 11:29We're going up to 4198. So look, 28
- 11:30orders were placed. The exact same data
- 11:32matched, right? If there's a single
- 11:34feed from the COMEX exchange, and all
- 11:36the data comes in, it matches. So,
- 11:38they've displayed this COB in this way.
- 11:40For example, the Ask area above is
- 11:43shown in red. The Buy area below is
- 11:46shown in green. This is exactly the
- 11:48same. There's no difference. Then they
- 11:50created a visual representation of the
- 11:52entire COB current order book. Now, if
- 11:54we look inside, there's data. But if we
- 11:56look at this, we'll see exactly what's
- 11:57happening. Look, there's the most data
- 11:59here. The more red, the bigger the
- 12:01order somewhere. I'm showing you this
- 12:04by clicking on this area. There are
- 12:06different colors here. I often select
- 12:08this. This helps me read my mindset.
- 12:11There are different colors inside it.
- 12:12One is red. Red means the most
- 12:14liquidity area. Yellow means orange.
- 12:17The next orange means slightly less
- 12:18than that. Yellow means less than that.
- 12:21White means more than that. We're going
- 12:23down completely like this. Similarly,
- 12:25if you look here, there's an option. In
- 12:26your case, you might see a heat map
- 12:28like this. What am I doing? I'm turning
- 12:30off the lighting effect of this area,
- 12:32the contrast, because I don't need it.
- 12:35I just want to see it as liquid. Below
- 12:37this, there's an order of bubbles. If
- 12:39you move these bubbles back and forth,
- 12:41their size will increase or decrease.
- 12:43You can select this accordingly.
- 12:44There's a pen setting here. It's
- 12:46useless. It's a drawing tool. You have
- 12:47to draw on it. This is a setting. If
- 12:50you click on it, your server will be
- 12:52activated. So you can see your balls,
- 12:54like these balls. You can see the order
- 12:56value of this ball. For example, you
- 12:57can see the volume of this ball, 61 on
- 12:58top of it. For example, this is
- 13:00liquidity. This is an order value of
- 13:0128. I click on it. Look, I took it to
- 13:03this area. So here you'll see Ask 5,
- 13:06different areas. Here's Ask 10. It
- 13:09doesn't show here right now. It shows a
- 13:11little bit back. Here's Nine. Here's
- 13:1411. Here's Eight. So you take all this
- 13:17resting liquidity over the bolus. So it
- 13:19shows their volume. This helps us
- 13:21determine how much volume has entered
- 13:23the market. This is a time slice.
- 13:26There's no time frame within it.
- 13:27There's no 5-minute, 10-minute window.
- 13:29These are time slices. The window
- 13:31divides them into time slices. Click,
- 13:33let's say we need 5-minute slices. So,
- 13:36one 5-minute window is automatically
- 13:38cut. Okay? Similarly, if you make it 20
- 13:40minutes, each window is cut to 20
- 13:42minutes. There's no fixed time limit.
- 13:44You can move it back and forth. You can
- 13:46deepen it as much as you want, like I
- 13:48did this. So, liquidity will be
- 13:49displayed to you like this. If you zoom
- 13:51in completely, the bots will also be
- 13:53shown within the liquidity. The deeper
- 13:55you zoom in, the more detailed the
- 13:58liquidity will appear. The more you
- 14:01widen it, the more you will see large,
- 14:03major volumes. Now, there's a lock here
- 14:06. Clicking on this lock allows you to
- 14:08execute orders. I'm closing it now.
- 14:10After that, there are different options
- 14:11. Mainly this option and this option.
- 14:14This option is called Studies
- 14:15Configuration. You click on it. So,
- 14:17here are all your studies, like volume
- 14:19dots. Now, listen to the settings for
- 14:21volume dots. Volume dots are volume
- 14:22dots. This volume is like the big
- 14:24trades we saw. There are two settings
- 14:28here. Under the volume display option,
- 14:30there's 2D bubbles. Look how bad the 2D
- 14:32bubbles look. They're not that good. If
- 14:34you look at the 3D bubble, it will
- 14:36appear clearly 3D, allowing us to
- 14:38easily find liquidity or aggressive
- 14:40orders. This is very useful for the
- 14:41mind. There are two options below. One
- 14:43is for total volume and the other is
- 14:44for volume delta. Volume delta is the
- 14:46ask minus bid. So, you need to keep
- 14:48this selected. Regarding size, the size
- 14:50is the same. This and this are the same
- 14:51size. You can control it here as well.
- 14:53Look at the transparency, I've set it
- 14:55to zero so that I can see the bubbles
- 14:57clearly. If you move it forward, they
- 14:58will become a little transparent. You
- 15:00can see it. If you move it backward,
- 15:01you will see them completely enlarged.
- 15:03In this type of clustering, you should
- 15:05place a smart cluster here and increase
- 15:07its bar to 20 so that everything is
- 15:09easy to read and you don't have to
- 15:10interfere with anything else;
- 15:12everything else will remain active.
- 15:14There are no other settings inside. If
- 15:16you want to open a candle here, you can
- 15:18do so. I'll click on "Cumulative Volume
- 15:20Delta." Then, "Delta" appears below. "
- 15:22CVD" appears. You can see it completely
- 15:23. I don't use it. If you want to use it
- 15:25, you can. Okay? I'm telling you what I
- 15:28use. I'll close it. Click here to close
- 15:30it. It's completely closed. Now, look,
- 15:33this can be a little difficult to see.
- 15:35It was like this before. Now we've made
- 15:36it like this. Now it's a little refined
- 15:38. Now, look, there are a lot of bots in
- 15:40between. These small orders you see are
- 15:43bots. All these bots place orders
- 15:45automatically. And look, this small
- 15:47liquidity in between creates problems.
- 15:49It doesn't read well. So, if you
- 15:50enqueue ES, it's free of cost. The data
- 15:53will appear in front of you in this way
- 15:54. You can see a new window. I've
- 15:57clicked on it. After clicking, you'll
- 15:59see how clearly this window appears,
- 16:01showing you the best liquidities, major
- 16:03liquidities. For example, it's red,
- 16:04blue, and yellow. There are no bots in
- 16:06between. It's easy to read. We'll
- 16:09refine it to work. You can make the
- 16:11bubbles bigger or smaller. Now, where
- 16:13did I get this from? How did I install
- 16:15it? Look, there's another option on the
- 16:18right side of this configuration:
- 16:20Configure Addons. I clicked on it.
- 16:22After clicking, it's free for those
- 16:24using ESNQ. Trader Map Lite: If your
- 16:26Trader Map Lite isn't showing here, you
- 16:28need to go to Manage Addons. Once
- 16:30you've managed it, look, this is Trader
- 16:31Map Pro. Lite. Now, Lite is free. It's
- 16:35only for ESNQ. But if you want to trade
- 16:38gold or crypto, you'll need to buy
- 16:40Trader Map Pro. It costs $ 50 per month
- 16:42, which is quite costly. So I say using
- 16:44another platform is better for you. But
- 16:47Bookmap is the complete industry
- 16:48standard. It's goat-level. So, you
- 16:50can't deny it. Anyone with the money
- 16:52can buy it. If someone doesn't want to
- 16:55use it normally, they can. It's a
- 16:56little difficult. It'll be better if
- 16:58you refine it. For example, I've
- 17:00clicked on this. If you use ESNQ, I'll
- 17:02explain its settings. Click here. After
- 17:04clicking, go to TraderMap Pro Lite.
- 17:06Click on it. In TraderMap Lite, keep
- 17:07the standard settings. It will
- 17:09automatically activate and everything
- 17:10will start showing. If you use
- 17:12TraderMap Pro, its settings are
- 17:13slightly different. Now, first, click
- 17:15on Create. Then, enter a name here. You
- 17:18can enter any name. Okay? After that,
- 17:20you'll select whatever you've chosen.
- 17:23For example, if you've chosen this,
- 17:25enter it. After doing this, the Bot
- 17:26Remover will appear. You then need to
- 17:29set its threshold. The threshold needs
- 17:30to be set forward. I'll close it once
- 17:32and run it again. As I clicked, it
- 17:34stopped. You can see. To run it, I went
- 17:36to Pro in Trader. Here, I deleted its
- 17:39threshold. Its threshold is already set
- 17:42. So, I clicked on it. As soon as I
- 17:44clicked, a new window will activate.
- 17:46The new window will activate and it
- 17:47will start displaying all the liquidity
- 17:49in front of you. You can see it
- 17:50completely. It will show you this way.
- 17:52So, this was a complete overview. We're
- 17:54going to delve into it further: how to
- 17:57read liquidity, how to build the entire
- 17:59system, where to enter and where to
- 18:01exit. Now let's talk about Dome and
- 18:03Tape versus Heat Map. If you want to
- 18:05trade with a heat map but don't know
- 18:07why you're using it, your game will be
- 18:09ruined. Then you should stick to ICT.
- 18:12As you can see, on the right side,
- 18:14there's an order book called DOMB. We
- 18:16discussed this in the first lecture.
- 18:18This is the resting limit order
- 18:19provided by the exchange. It shows us
- 18:22liquidity. We can't make any decisions
- 18:24based on liquidity; we can only read it
- 18:26. Now, this liquidity, and the
- 18:28liquidity it shows you, is all the same
- 18:30, in different colors. As I told you,
- 18:33using this liquidity, they created a
- 18:35type of liquidity here, which we call
- 18:38depth of market. They created a visual
- 18:40representation of it and color-coded
- 18:42the liquidities here. On the right side
- 18:45, you'll see a tape. Tape means
- 18:46executed trades, meaning volume. In the
- 18:49past, heat maps didn't exist. Older
- 18:52players had to guess. They had to be
- 18:55decoded. How did they manage the entire
- 18:57system? Let's assume there's liquidity.
- 18:59This liquidity and this liquidity are
- 19:01the same. This is a tape. The tape and
- 19:03these bubbles are the same. Because
- 19:05these are executive trades. Aggressive
- 19:06trades. Cumulative trades. Now see how
- 19:09they figured it out. Let's assume the
- 19:11liquidity keeps moving up and down like
- 19:12this. It keeps moving. Let's assume an
- 19:15order of 17 is placed here. Now the
- 19:16price is coming down, coming down,
- 19:18coming down. Hit the liquidity of 17.
- 19:20As soon as it hits, the price might go
- 19:23up or break it. How did they figure it
- 19:25out? As you can see, there are red
- 19:27orders here. Here's a green order here.
- 19:28Here's red, and here's green. Let's
- 19:31assume they've been executing orders of
- 19:32this type from the top, and they've
- 19:33been executing them, and they've been
- 19:34executing them. And after this tape
- 19:36reaches this area, let's assume the
- 19:38price is stuck at this area, but the
- 19:40orders within the tape are coming in
- 19:42aggressively, green orders. Green
- 19:43orders are coming in. Green orders are
- 19:44coming in. Green orders are coming in.
- 19:46Ten orders, eight orders, one order.
- 19:48This tells them that large orders are
- 19:49coming in. But the price is staying put
- 19:52. Meaning the price is still holding
- 19:54above 17. Which means there's an
- 19:55iceberg here. Which means there's more
- 19:58liquidity here. Because of this, the
- 20:00aggressive orders—ten orders, eight
- 20:01orders, or even large orders—are
- 20:03coming in one by one. They're unable to
- 20:04break this liquidity. The price is
- 20:06still holding up. They used to decode
- 20:08this and trade based solely on these
- 20:10two. But today, this liquidity heat map
- 20:13has made things so much easier. The
- 20:15tape inside it also shows you where and
- 20:18how much liquidity is being hit. I'll
- 20:20show you a couple of examples right now
- 20:22. For example, if this goes up, it hits
- 20:23this. If it goes down, it hits this.
- 20:25Understanding the dome and tape is
- 20:26crucial. If I don't explain these, you
- 20:29won't understand their significance,
- 20:31because we get everything ready-made.
- 20:33How is the data being generated? If we
- 20:35don't have the decoding for that data,
- 20:36we'll be left behind because I'm
- 20:38explaining this. I'm just giving you a
- 20:40few examples. When I open the entire
- 20:42list in the future, you'll wonder what
- 20:44I've explained. For that, you need to
- 20:46have a clear foundation. Now, pulling
- 20:48and staking. Pulling and staking is
- 20:50something we're only looking at a heat
- 20:52map for. If we don't understand pulling
- 20:54and staking at all, there's no point in
- 20:56looking at a heat map. The very meaning
- 20:58of a heat map is to look at pulling and
- 20:59staking. Pulling and staking describes
- 21:02the continuous flow of liquidity in the
- 21:04depth of market as traders actively
- 21:06modify their pending limit orders. What
- 21:09happens? Let's assume there's an order
- 21:10book, also called a DOM. Within this
- 21:12DOM, there are different levels of
- 21:13liquidity. As you can see, there's 16
- 21:15here. Now, from 16, who knows, it might
- 21:17become 14, or the price might change by
- 21:19the time it reaches this level. Now,
- 21:21look, it's decreased here. Let's move a
- 21:22little lower. Look, it's decreased here
- 21:24. It might become 15, meaning it might
- 21:26increase or decrease. This means that
- 21:28by the time the price reaches this
- 21:29level, who knows, liquidity might
- 21:31increase or decrease. This is called
- 21:33pulling and staking, where orders are
- 21:35placed or placed. Pulling orders occur
- 21:37when market participants cancel
- 21:39existing limit orders before execution,
- 21:41reducing the available liquidity and
- 21:44weakening that level. What happens next
- 21:46? Let's assume there's an order for 17
- 21:47placed in this area. You can see the
- 21:49live market is currently running.
- 21:50Pulling means pulling. It means there's
- 21:53a lower order than 17. Right now,
- 21:54there's an order for 17. Let's assume
- 21:56the price is stuck in the middle. As
- 21:58long as the price drops, it'll drop to
- 22:00this level. Who knows, there might be a
- 22:01nine order left here. Who knows, there
- 22:03might be a seven order left here. And
- 22:04who knows, all the 17 orders might
- 22:06disappear. This is called pulling. It's
- 22:09possible there was an order for 200
- 22:10placed, but by removing them, it's
- 22:12reduced to 17. The price hasn't already
- 22:13reached this point. This is called
- 22:15pulling. It weakens the area. Because
- 22:18if there's liquidity of 200 here,
- 22:19there's an order for 200. This means
- 22:21it's a strong area. If liquidity is low
- 22:23, remove them gradually, weakening that
- 22:25level. That level will weaken. Stacking
- 22:27occurs when market participants add
- 22:29more limit orders at a specific price
- 22:31level, increasing available liquidity
- 22:33and strengthening the limit level. Now,
- 22:36what happens is, let's assume we're
- 22:37moving similarly to this level. Just
- 22:39now, an order of 17 became 15. This
- 22:40means they were pulled somewhere. If
- 22:43these orders increased from 15 to 17,
- 22:45then suddenly this means they were
- 22:46stacked. It decreases. If they were
- 22:49pulled, then pulling occurs. Repeated
- 22:50pulling occurs. Stuck means the order
- 22:52is repeatedly increased at the same
- 22:54price level. For example, here, there's
- 22:56an order of 14. We'll track it now at
- 22:58this price level, 4184, and move down
- 23:01from there. Look, it's 16 and we'll see
- 23:03. If it increases, it means they're
- 23:05getting stuck. It means they're
- 23:06increasing. Orders are being placed,
- 23:08reaching 20. I'm showing you a live
- 23:10example. It's 20. This means there's a
- 23:12buildup. When there's a buildup, it
- 23:14means liquidity is being added to that
- 23:16area before the price even hits. This
- 23:18means increasing the available
- 23:19liquidity and strengthening that level
- 23:21as the price moves towards that area.
- 23:23For example, if we consider this
- 23:25completely within the bookmap, you can
- 23:27see this area. Here, you see 25 orders
- 23:29at the lower level. You can see that
- 23:31the level below might be 25, but now
- 23:33it's 26 all at once. By the time the
- 23:34price reaches this level, there's major
- 23:36liquidity. There are 22 orders.
- 23:37Although not large, it also depends on
- 23:39market conditions. There are buy orders
- 23:40. As long as the price is here, two
- 23:42scenarios can occur: either it will
- 23:44draw out all the liquidity, or it could
- 23:47increase. The more it increases, the
- 23:49stronger the wall will become. As you
- 23:51can see, this wall starts strengthening
- 23:53from here. This means that orders have
- 23:55started coming in continuously from
- 23:56here. As you can see in this area,
- 23:58there's liquidity somewhere high. For
- 23:59example, look at this area, there were
- 24:01a few orders here. Later, they broke,
- 24:02became weak, and then decreased a bit.
- 24:04Orders decreased. These thick walls
- 24:07that you see mean that there's a lot of
- 24:09stocking going on here. This broken
- 24:12wall in the middle means that orders
- 24:13have been pulled. The simple logic
- 24:15behind this is this: By monitoring
- 24:17pulling and staking, traders can
- 24:19observe how liquidity is evolving in
- 24:21real time rather than relying on
- 24:23solarisi on static order book data.
- 24:25This way, we can easily see pulling and
- 24:27staking. Let's say your name is Ram,
- 24:30Shyam, or anything else. Mohan, Sohan.
- 24:33I tell you, brother, do one thing:
- 24:35don't keep trading all day, keep
- 24:37trading. This liquidity will now be 19.
- 24:39Previously, it was 15 or 16. Track it
- 24:41all day. Track it every once in a while
- 24:43. Track it after every few minutes. For
- 24:45how long will you track? Take a pen and
- 24:46paper and start writing numbers. Okay,
- 24:48at this time, after 5 minutes, this
- 24:50much, after 5 minutes, this much.
- 24:52You'll write down the pulling data
- 24:54separately, and your stocking data
- 24:56separately. How will you figure it out?
- 24:58It'll be mind-boggling, brother. So,
- 25:00because of this, the heat map that we
- 25:02have here comes in handy. Or, whatever
- 25:04historical liquidity we have, the area
- 25:06is already increasing. Let's assume
- 25:08this is an area where an order was
- 25:10placed before, then an increase, then
- 25:12an increase, then an increase, then an
- 25:14increase, then an increase. When the
- 25:16price is increasing like this in an
- 25:18area, it means there's a wall somewhere
- 25:20, a genuine wall, that won't break. It
- 25:23will impact somewhere, react, and even
- 25:26act as a magnet. I'll also return to
- 25:28magnets, like the wall below. It's
- 25:30quite strong. Look, this wall just
- 25:32formed. It's an order of 22. Who knows,
- 25:33it might disappear by the time the
- 25:34price comes down. That's also possible.
- 25:36But what you see is a whole wall,
- 25:37stretching from front to back. The
- 25:39price is moving in long stretches. The
- 25:41bigger the wall, the farther it goes.
- 25:43As if there's an option here, I'll show
- 25:44you. It's gone backward. Look, this is
- 25:46the area. There's also a one-hour
- 25:48timeframe here. If I extend it to 6
- 25:50hours, 12 hours, or 48 hours, you'll
- 25:52see even larger liquidity walls. Price
- 25:54hasn't yet reached there. So, it could
- 25:56be a genuine liquidity wall. Price will
- 25:58come there and behave like a magnet.
- 26:00The bigger the liquidity wall, the more
- 26:02it attracts like a magnet. Now let's
- 26:04move on to our note. Now, let's
- 26:06understand this here. This provides
- 26:08valuable inside whether a liquidity
- 26:10wall is stronger, weaker, and
- 26:11disappears all together. All of this
- 26:14shows that it has disappeared suddenly,
- 26:16is becoming weaker, or is becoming
- 26:17stronger than before. Now, look, this
- 26:20example is completely about pulling.
- 26:22Let's understand pulling. Then we'll
- 26:23understand staking. Now, let's assume
- 26:26someone placed an order. It could be
- 26:29you, it could be me, it could be an
- 26:30institution, because we are not
- 26:31liquidity providers. Institutions are
- 26:33also not liquidity providers. They are
- 26:35different. What is an institution? They
- 26:37come to trade. Now, let's assume a big
- 26:39player placed an order in this area.
- 26:41After placing the order, a significant
- 26:43red wall is visible. What happens after
- 26:46a while is that the -60 wall starts to
- 26:49fade. You can see the color. It starts
- 26:50to fade. These types of orders started
- 26:52coming in. Meaning, somewhere, they
- 26:54started pulling. 30, then minus, then
- 26:57-30. So you can see the liquidity wall
- 27:00weakened. When the liquidity wall
- 27:02weakens, its color will appear
- 27:04yellowish. Or white, meaning white is
- 27:07very low. But a little yellow is normal
- 27:09liquidity, like 5 or 10 orders placed
- 27:12here. You don't need to give it too
- 27:13much importance. The price will react a
- 27:15little, and then it will break down.
- 27:17Okay? Now, we've learned about pulling.
- 27:18What exactly happens in pulling? You
- 27:20place a large order. Then you withdraw
- 27:21it, or you place a smaller one, and
- 27:22that order is withdrawn. The large one
- 27:24was placed, and there was a very large
- 27:25red wall. It's gradually fading. We
- 27:27call that pulling. What is stocking?
- 27:29Within stocking, you can place orders
- 27:30from small to large. You can place
- 27:32orders from large to large. It can be
- 27:33anything. For example, look at this
- 27:34area. First, white liquidity was
- 27:36created. This meant an order of eight
- 27:37came in. It wasn't very large. Then,
- 27:39after a while, another order of 14 came
- 27:41in. This meant the yellow was
- 27:42increasing slightly. As I've explained
- 27:44the color codes. Then came orange. An
- 27:46order of 22 came in, a little larger
- 27:47somewhere. After that, a 35 order came
- 27:50in. Now, look at this yellow area,
- 27:52which is a slightly less liquid wall,
- 27:54where it's not very strong. This orange
- 27:55one is stronger than that. So, together
- 27:57, this strong wall was formed. Pulling
- 28:00orders from within this strong wall
- 28:02caused it to weaken. If all the red
- 28:04orders were placed, it would have
- 28:05become red. What happened inside it?
- 28:07Smaller orders were placed. Then more
- 28:09orders came in. This meant the number
- 28:10was increasing somewhere. Liquidity was
- 28:12building. So, this orange one was
- 28:14formed. Now let's understand further.
- 28:15Our second example is staking. Here,
- 28:17orders from one to 35 come in. This is
- 28:19good. Quite good. Then an orange wall
- 28:21forms. This is also quite good. Again,
- 28:23an orange wall forms, and again, a red
- 28:25wall forms. So, in comparison, more
- 28:27orders have come here. So, the color of
- 28:30the liquidity wall is also quite good.
- 28:32In its case, if you look at the next
- 28:34one, a big order comes in for 70. Then
- 28:36comes another for 45. Then comes an
- 28:37orange order for 45. It can change. Who
- 28:39knows, a yellow order might also come
- 28:41in between. Anything like this could
- 28:43happen. But ultimately, a lot of orders
- 28:45are coming in. Finally, a big order
- 28:47came in. This means the liquidity wall
- 28:49has become quite strong. Look at its
- 28:51color, which you see in the red-coded
- 28:53area. If I open this area a little, you
- 28:56will see how much red you will see. If
- 29:00you go very close to it, you will see
- 29:01only red. There is white. There are no
- 29:03major orders. But look at this price
- 29:04level alone, there are five orders of
- 29:0628 here. There are six here. If you
- 29:08look above, there are six. So, the more
- 29:10red and the longer the wall, the
- 29:12greater the impact. Now, liquidity
- 29:15pools versus garbage liquidity. In this
- 29:17, we'll learn about both liquidity
- 29:19pools and debunk some myths. A
- 29:22liquidity pool is a price level where a
- 29:24large number of resting limit orders
- 29:26are concentrated. It's a place where a
- 29:28large number of resting limit orders
- 29:29are concentrated. As I mentioned, this
- 29:31red wall, with 2001 or 1001 orders, has
- 29:34been forming here for quite some time.
- 29:37Because of this, the large limit orders
- 29:39here have become concentrated, meaning
- 29:40they have settled inside it. It appears
- 29:42as a bright and thick liquidity wall,
- 29:44indicating significant buying and
- 29:46selling interest and that price. This
- 29:48means, as you can see, this area is a
- 29:50bit faded. If you look at the entire
- 29:52chart, you'll see a brighter, thicker
- 29:54area where the majors are. This means
- 29:57that some of the larger participants
- 29:59are interested in buying at this area,
- 30:01which is why they've created the wall.
- 30:04This level often attracts price. It
- 30:06attracts price towards itself. For
- 30:07example, if the price is stagnant here,
- 30:09it's possible that the price is
- 30:10stagnant here. There's not much
- 30:11liquidity here because the market needs
- 30:13liquidity. Liquidity is the fuel for
- 30:14the market. So, if there's not much
- 30:16liquidity here, or a garbage area, the
- 30:18market may be attracted to it. And this
- 30:21can act as a reaction zone. Although
- 30:24they don't guarantee a reversal, this
- 30:26could become a reaction zone where the
- 30:28price could react, move down, or even
- 30:31go up. But there's no guarantee that
- 30:33this will work. We have to look at many
- 30:35things for that. That's why we complete
- 30:37the system with order flow. Let's
- 30:39understand garbage liquidity. Like the
- 30:41liquidity pool we saw below, this is
- 30:43the liquidity pool. Okay? Similarly, if
- 30:45you look above, this is all garbage
- 30:46liquidity. Garbage liquidity is also
- 30:48called liquidity noise and liquidity
- 30:50clutter. As I showed you inside, if you
- 30:53go to the bookmap, you'll see clutter.
- 30:55You can see how much clutter there is.
- 30:57It's embarrassing to even look at it.
- 31:01So, look here, there are so many bots
- 31:02and such. There's complete clutter here
- 31:04. Even if you widen it a little, it's
- 31:07clutter. Nothing makes sense. Now, when
- 31:09I widen it a little, I understand that
- 31:11there's a thick wall at the top where
- 31:12orders are placed. There's a larger
- 31:14wall at the bottom where orders are
- 31:15placed. In the middle, there's all the
- 31:16garbage. So, garbage is the area that
- 31:18represents the clutter, referring to
- 31:20many small limit orders scattered
- 31:22across multiple price levels. For
- 31:24example, let's look at different levels
- 31:26, like in the order book. So, there's
- 31:28an order placed here, here, here, here,
- 31:30here. There are many smaller ones in
- 31:32between. So this would be a cluttering
- 31:33area. Price often consolidates in these
- 31:35areas, and if the price direction
- 31:37should be in your favor, assuming your
- 31:39bias is to the upside and there's
- 31:41liquidity, you can counter it. On the
- 31:44heat map, this appears as a dark band
- 31:46spread through the order book rather
- 31:49than one dominant wall. On the heat map
- 31:51, this appears as a dark wall. It was
- 31:54looking bright for us. It looks dark.
- 31:55It looks dark. It's dark. It's not a
- 31:58good color. It looks thin. There will
- 32:00be thin walls. Thin, just like orange.
- 32:02If you decode it, it will appear even
- 32:04thinner. If you widen it, it will
- 32:05appear thicker. This thin wall will
- 32:07appear like a garbage area. As you can
- 32:08see, this area. There was a significant
- 32:11wall below and a garbage area above.
- 32:12Price had been moving in this range for
- 32:14quite some time. Price couldn't decide
- 32:15on a direction. But my bias was
- 32:17downward. My proper setup was forming
- 32:19with the entire order flow system. Just
- 32:21look at this liquidity heat map, and
- 32:22you'll be able to counter this area.
- 32:24You'll know it will attract you like a
- 32:26magnet. Since the liquidity is
- 32:27distributed instead of concentrated,
- 32:29there's one thing called distributed.
- 32:31What does distributed mean? At
- 32:32different levels, there are some orders
- 32:34here, some here, some there, some there
- 32:36. They're fragmented. As we understand
- 32:38it, let's zoom in a little and see.
- 32:40Look, they're fragmented. Wherever
- 32:42there's a red, orange, red, orange, and
- 32:45a boat scuttles in the middle. And
- 32:47similarly, when we go down a little,
- 32:49look, a thin line appears. This is
- 32:51concentrated. And this is our
- 32:53distributed market. The distributed
- 32:55market automatically becomes weaker
- 32:56because it's a garbage area. The price
- 32:58there will fluctuate, consolidating up
- 33:00and down. You'll also notice it in that
- 33:02area. I don't want to enter here
- 33:04because it's cluttered. I'll clear my
- 33:06bias. Then I'll hunt it. Resistance and
- 33:08are generally less than true liquidity
- 33:11poles. These small resistance and
- 33:13support don't matter much. Our main
- 33:16game is liquidity true poles, called
- 33:18pools. Now, I've seen a lot of people
- 33:20on social media asking them what
- 33:22liquidity pools are. What do they say?
- 33:24Pools are where most orders are
- 33:26executed. Brother, pools are where most
- 33:28orders aren't executed. Because where
- 33:31most orders are executed, volume is
- 33:33generated. That's where the zigzag
- 33:34garbage area is. Where orders haven't
- 33:36been executed, there are liquidity
- 33:38pools. Pools mean a whole pool of big
- 33:41fish. So, there's a big fish here. If
- 33:43the price reaches a big fish, it won't
- 33:45stop. It will either break it and run
- 33:47down, or it will trigger a click above
- 33:49it, and run up. So, I busted a myth:
- 33:51people think a pool has formed above.
- 33:53Nothing like that happens. Where you
- 33:54see a strong red line, there will be a
- 33:56large order, maybe multiple orders, but
- 33:58it's not like the price is moving there
- 33:59. The price won't move there; the price
- 34:01will drive it away within two minutes.
- 34:03So, let's understand an example of this
- 34:04. Let's go to the bookmark. I've
- 34:06created an example here; I already
- 34:08recorded it to a file. I clicked on
- 34:11Open Data File and inserted the
- 34:12recorded file here. There are two cases
- 34:15. If you go here, all the data will
- 34:16appear distorted. You can see this type
- 34:18of data, where you'll be completely
- 34:20confused. I've applied the bot remover
- 34:22to make it look like this. I'm opening
- 34:24it now. You can see this is 12:00 PM.
- 34:27You know consolidation occurs when the
- 34:29London session opens. You'll understand
- 34:30the reason. The market started here and
- 34:33is slowly consolidating. Now, look at
- 34:35the market, there's a lot of minor
- 34:36liquidity below. There's an order of
- 34:38seven, an order of three. Above,
- 34:40there's an order of 33. So, you can see
- 34:42another liquidity coming in somewhere,
- 34:43like a 33. It will go to these and work
- 34:45like a magnet. Now, watch the price,
- 34:47I'm speeding it up a bit. Now, watch
- 34:49the price come in slowly. There's no
- 34:51liquidity here. The market needs
- 34:52liquidity because it's the fuel for the
- 34:54market. The market hit this liquidity
- 34:56high. As soon as it hit, buyers were
- 34:57quite aggressive, and look at the price
- 34:59, it hit the other one as well. It
- 35:01absorbed the price as soon as it hit,
- 35:03and the price started to fall. After it
- 35:06hit, you can see that it wasn't getting
- 35:08much liquidity at the bottom. And
- 35:10because of this, there's minor
- 35:11liquidity. There's also an order of 15
- 35:13here. It's not a big order. But the
- 35:14market needs liquidity. Where there's
- 35:16more liquidity, the market will move in
- 35:17that direction. So, you can see that a
- 35:19garbage area of consolidation has
- 35:21completely formed here, because now,
- 35:23look, it hit this, first broke this,
- 35:25then hit this. Now, look, it went up
- 35:26from here, and hit this. After hitting
- 35:28this, the price came down and stopped
- 35:29here. My recording stopped here. This
- 35:31helps us understand this. When the
- 35:33market is in a consolidation area, and
- 35:35you know that liquidity is high and
- 35:37there's nothing below, you can play a
- 35:39counter move up. Right? In the garbage
- 35:40area, you need to wait. Keep your bias
- 35:42clear. Inside the garbage area, you
- 35:44have to be patient and wait. Check if
- 35:46there's any liquidity below. If there's
- 35:48any liquidity here, the market could
- 35:50hit it somewhere. I'll explain this to
- 35:52you in the magnet example. But this was
- 35:54an example of consolidation here,
- 35:56followed by a hit on liquidity. Then,
- 35:58after consolidation, liquidity was
- 35:59found at the bottom. Then, liquidity
- 36:00was hit again. When a large order of 77
- 36:03was received, the market would hit 100
- 36:05orders, 77, 80, and then the market
- 36:07would come down. This can vary for
- 36:10different instruments, such as ES NQ
- 36:12Gold. Some may have 1000 orders, some
- 36:14500 orders, 100 orders, and 150 orders
- 36:16are very large orders. Now, let's
- 36:18understand how liquidity attracts price
- 36:20. How does liquidity attract price?
- 36:22Using the iron ball analogy. As you can
- 36:25see, this is a magnet. This is price.
- 36:27Price is standing here. These are
- 36:28different magnets. These magnets are
- 36:30liquidity. For example, this magnet has
- 36:32a pull force of 10 kg. This one has 2
- 36:34kg, this one has 5 kg, this one has 50
- 36:35kg, and this one has 100 kg. I've
- 36:37created these according to how strong
- 36:39each liquidity is. This is the
- 36:40strongest. Then this one is the least
- 36:42strong. Then this one is even weaker.
- 36:43Then this one. Then this one. Now let's
- 36:45see how this works. Because you've seen
- 36:47that there are different walls at
- 36:48different levels. You can see inside
- 36:50the bookmap. There's a different wall
- 36:52here. There's a different wall here. Or
- 36:53if you zoom in, you'll see many walls.
- 36:55There's garbage. There's a lot of it.
- 36:57We'll remove the garbage. There's no
- 36:59need to look at the garbage within the
- 37:01different systems. As for the main
- 37:02liquidity, you can consider this to be
- 37:04the price. The price is being delivered
- 37:06from here. It's coming from this type.
- 37:08Now the price needs liquidity. Let's
- 37:10assume there's nothing here. Maybe one
- 37:12or two orders. But according to the FK,
- 37:14it's still fine here. Here's blue. Who
- 37:16knows, there's not much happening in
- 37:17blue. Here's white. Price came here.
- 37:19Price reacted. Price, using liquidity,
- 37:21started moving from here. Now, price is
- 37:23looking for which magnet is nearby. Now
- 37:25, show price that this magnet is nearby
- 37:27. I mean, it was already nearby. It's a
- 37:29little distance away. So, price came
- 37:30near it and came above a 5 kg pull
- 37:32force. It consolidated above yellow and
- 37:34started moving up. Then it came like
- 37:35this. Then it has to find liquidity.
- 37:37Now, it found this. 10 kg pull force,
- 37:39so it stuck here for a long time. Then,
- 37:41somewhere, it got removed and suddenly
- 37:43started coming here. Because there were
- 37:44more orders here, pending orders
- 37:46remained. That's why the market is in
- 37:47consolidation. Now, there's nothing
- 37:49here. There could be a boat here. Boats
- 37:50don't make any difference. Small orders
- 37:52keep getting executed. Now the market
- 37:54is looking for major liquidity. So, the
- 37:56market saw some white liquidity
- 37:57somewhere here, in the middle. There
- 37:59was blue liquidity somewhere above here
- 38:01, circulating near them. Then, the
- 38:03market suddenly saw liquidity. The
- 38:04market completely came to this point.
- 38:06Now it works like a magnet. You've seen
- 38:08how well a magnet works. Now it's above
- 38:10this point. Now, after reaching this
- 38:11point, who knows, the market might rush
- 38:13higher. It's also possible that it
- 38:14might go much higher. But in my
- 38:16experience, what does the market do?
- 38:17Look at this area of the market.
- 38:19There's a pull force of 100 kg. I'll
- 38:21pull it and bring it a little here.
- 38:24Because liquidity doesn't exist like
- 38:25I've shown you in the drawing. No, it
- 38:27exists at different levels. This is the
- 38:29way to explain it. As you enter the
- 38:31market, gradually analyze it, and then
- 38:33you'll understand, because people don't
- 38:35learn overnight. Now, what happens in
- 38:37my case? Let's assume there's a pull
- 38:38force of 100 kg here. There's a pull
- 38:39force of 50 kg here. Now, observe what
- 38:41happens in the market. The market was
- 38:42moving here. There's a pull force of 10
- 38:43kg here. There's a pull force of 5 kg
- 38:45here. What happens to the market
- 38:46because of this? If the market is to
- 38:47move, it needs a good pull force
- 38:49somewhere. It needs a good liquidity
- 38:51magnet. Small magnets stick to them.
- 38:53That market then consolidates.
- 38:55Ultimately, the market has reached this
- 38:56area. Still, there's good liquidity.
- 38:58Now, what happens in my case? I observe
- 39:00. The market doesn't just tap above
- 39:02this level and move up. It might move a
- 39:04little once. But if there's significant
- 39:07liquidity immediately below this level,
- 39:09the market will break it and come to
- 39:11this level. And there can be two
- 39:12scenarios here. Either the market will
- 39:14perform a liquidity sweep. You may have
- 39:15heard of a sweep. This means the market
- 39:17has performed a liquidity sweep. It has
- 39:18destroyed all this liquidity. Below
- 39:20this, there were SLs of big players
- 39:21because different institutions attack
- 39:23each other. They also trap retailers.
- 39:25Retailers also use them. Many people
- 39:26use bookmaps and other similar services
- 39:28. So they can be trapped as well. By
- 39:29trapping, liquidity was swept. Then,
- 39:31there was a sudden move. This could be
- 39:32one possibility. Another case could be
- 39:34that the market did not sweep it at all
- 39:36. The market simply came over it. This
- 39:38created a big bubble here. After the
- 39:41formation of a big bubble, what does a
- 39:43big market bubble mean? Aggressive
- 39:45orders came in. Meaning, sellers are
- 39:46exerting pressure. Here, a selling
- 39:47order came in. But what kind of
- 39:48liquidity ball is this? It is a buying
- 39:50one. Due to which it got trapped in the
- 39:52market and the market suddenly hit it
- 39:54hard. Due to which the price went up
- 39:56and started running. In all the trades
- 39:58I place, I do not ignore liquidity. I
- 39:59observe it carefully. This is how the
- 40:01market works. There are different
- 40:02liquidities in the market. Not all
- 40:04liquidities are playable. Now, the
- 40:06people in the market drive you crazy.
- 40:08They only show it on charts. There's
- 40:09liquidity here. Brother, liquidity
- 40:10exists everywhere. Where isn't there?
- 40:12Without liquidity, the market would be
- 40:14dull. The market can't function. For
- 40:16example, I'll give you an example from
- 40:17this morning. I'd like to give you an
- 40:19example here. Let's go to the bookmap.
- 40:22This is an example. Okay? In this
- 40:24example, you can see there's liquidity
- 40:26below. The price is currently at the
- 40:27current market level. I'm zooming out a
- 40:29bit. Now it will become clearer for you
- 40:30. An order of 102 is placed. How many
- 40:32are there here? There are six orders.
- 40:33Two for two, two for two. These are all
- 40:35for selling. Upwards. Above the current
- 40:37market, your ask will be here. Below
- 40:40that will be the bid. An order of 17
- 40:41above that is still fine. But the
- 40:43market will definitely come here. If
- 40:44there's no liquidity in the market,
- 40:45it's empty above. There's no ground at
- 40:47all. The market needs fuel. The market
- 40:48will come to fuel it. They could be
- 40:50anywhere. Who knows, if there was fuel
- 40:51here, it would have taken it too.
- 40:53There's fuel here right now. So I'm
- 40:54playing this a bit to understand how
- 40:56the magnet works. I've set it to 32 so
- 40:58it's a little faster. The price is
- 41:00coming here. Coming. Coming. Look,
- 41:01there's a case where the price tapped
- 41:03above it. It started going up. Now
- 41:06there's a lot of garbage in between.
- 41:08But we have to focus on major liquidity
- 41:09. Look, the price held this for quite
- 41:12some time. Okay? You can place an SL
- 41:15completely below it. Now look, the
- 41:16price has started going up. So you can
- 41:18capture the move. You can get
- 41:19confirmation, you can scalp. You can do
- 41:21everything with it. This is why the
- 41:23hitmap is called a goat if you're using
- 41:25a book bookmap. Now look, the price is
- 41:27coming again, but reacting and running
- 41:28away again. Because once the liquidity
- 41:30has disappeared, right? This means the
- 41:32price will now start moving in a
- 41:33completely different direction.
- 41:34Attractions happen in different ways.
- 41:36Right? The closer the price is, the
- 41:38more it will attract. But remember,
- 41:40where the magnetic force is stronger,
- 41:42liquidity will come and return. This
- 41:44can also happen. Let's assume this
- 41:46force could also be here. Let's assume
- 41:48there's a red area here. Let's make it
- 41:50like this. There's one here. This can
- 41:52also happen. Both are fine. So what
- 41:54will the market do? Let's assume the
- 41:55market had previously reached this
- 41:56point. First, by consolidating above
- 41:58this point, it removed this liquidity
- 41:59and disappeared. It disappeared. It
- 42:01swept it. After that, the market will
- 42:03suddenly run above this point. If
- 42:05there's liquidity below this point, or
- 42:07if there's similar liquidity below this
- 42:09point, the market can come and
- 42:10disappear above that point as well. But
- 42:13if you learn to see these liquidities,
- 42:15your trading will be enhanced. You'll
- 42:18know when you're making the wrong entry
- 42:19. Don't buy here, where to enter, where
- 42:21to place an SL, it will be enhanced.
- 42:22It's going to work very well. Two
- 42:24things emerge from this. One is
- 42:26liquidity sweep versus liquidity gap.
- 42:28In the market, liquidity sweep and gap
- 42:30are often considered the same thing. So
- 42:31, today we'll bust this myth. They
- 42:33simply don't understand. They're only
- 42:35interested in saying it, not
- 42:36understanding it. A liquidity sweep
- 42:38occurs when price moves through a
- 42:40visible liquidity wall, consumes most
- 42:43of the resting limit orders, and then
- 42:45quickly reverses. The liquidity wall is
- 42:48swept away, leaving little or no
- 42:50liquidity behind, often trapping
- 42:52breakout trades. What happens in this?
- 42:54Look at this example. The market is
- 42:56consolidating here. It's been
- 42:57consolidating for a long time. But what
- 42:59happened? This liquidity in the market
- 43:01was suddenly swept away. A large order
- 43:03came in, breaking the entire range.
- 43:05After the break, all the SLs below were
- 43:06empty because there were major SLs
- 43:07below it. It hit and people immediately
- 43:10sold here. Those who had SLs below it
- 43:12were also empty, and those who were
- 43:13trapped below it, they sold here too.
- 43:14You can see, people. They trapped
- 43:16everyone. A sweep occurred suddenly.
- 43:17You must have seen a move in big
- 43:18markets. It goes down suddenly. A big 5
- 43:21-minute, 2-minute candle forms suddenly
- 43:22. Then a full rally comes. This is a
- 43:25complete example of that. A liquidity
- 43:26gap arises when the price touches and
- 43:28briefly trades into a liquidity wall.
- 43:31Like the example of the gap I just gave
- 43:33you recently, the price started moving
- 43:35up only after hitting it. An order was
- 43:37executed against it to fill a large
- 43:38position, but it did not consume the
- 43:40entire wall. Let's assume this is the
- 43:42case. Price crossed it, as we just
- 43:45learned. A large order is being
- 43:47executed. But the wall is so strong. It
- 43:49consumed the entire aggressive order,
- 43:51and the price moved upward from here.
- 43:53We call this a gap. When the price went
- 43:56down, it was called a sweep. As you can
- 43:57see in this area in the image, the
- 43:59price was moving upward from here.
- 44:01Large green orders also came in. This
- 44:04red liquidity wall consumed it, and
- 44:06from here, we call the liquidity
- 44:07disappeared. Gap means to withdraw.
- 44:11Pending orders remain. This is called a
- 44:13sweep. Breaking it and then moving
- 44:14upward. It picked up orders from here
- 44:16and started moving downward completely.
- 44:17Okay? Now we're going to look at more
- 44:19examples of this. Let's understand it
- 44:20completely first. The remaining
- 44:22liquidity stays on the heat map, and
- 44:24the price quickly reverses after
- 44:26collecting the required liquidity. This
- 44:28means that the price hit above this
- 44:30point. The price gapped. Now, the price
- 44:33didn't have enough strength to break it
- 44:34. The wall absorbed it all. From there,
- 44:38the price moved downward. Now, the
- 44:39price moved downward. How far it will
- 44:41go depends on the strength of the wall
- 44:43and the number of orders. After moving
- 44:46downward, it will slowly start
- 44:48gathering more liquidity along the way.
- 44:51If it needs fuel, assume it needs to go
- 44:54down. But if there wasn't enough fuel
- 44:57to go down, the market will go down.
- 44:59Then, it will find liquidity here as
- 45:01well, and small amounts will be created
- 45:02here as well. Then, the market will
- 45:03slowly move downward, following the
- 45:05flow of new passive orders. It will
- 45:06start pulling the market downward. I'll
- 45:08show you just an example of this. Look,
- 45:11this is just an example. Look, maybe I
- 45:13zoom in on it completely. What will
- 45:15happen by zooming in? You'll see the
- 45:17details. You can do that too. But I
- 45:19would say that if you zoom in, you
- 45:21won't see an overview of the market.
- 45:22You can zoom in later. First, zoom out
- 45:24and look at the major liquidity.
- 45:26Because major liquidity will push you
- 45:27up or down. Because major liquidity
- 45:29won't do that. The market price is
- 45:30static. Price can't stand still near
- 45:32major liquidity. It will either push
- 45:34the market up or down. The market will
- 45:36consolidate only where there are
- 45:38garbage areas. Now you can see in this
- 45:40case. I'm zooming out like this and
- 45:43playing it. It's fast forwarding a bit.
- 45:47Now you'll see that despite so much
- 45:49consolidation in the market, it's been
- 45:51consolidating for so long. After
- 45:54consolidating for about an hour and a
- 45:55half, the market has come to hunt this
- 45:57liquidity. This is an order of 203. But
- 45:59it still hasn't hunted properly. Let's
- 46:01zoom in a little to this point. Now,
- 46:03look, the price has come here. More
- 46:05liquidity is coming here, trying to
- 46:06push it up. But the price can't move
- 46:08higher because the fuel requirement is
- 46:10right here. It was also moving higher,
- 46:12but the market didn't go higher, but
- 46:13liquidity will come to pick it up. You
- 46:15can see, let's fast forward a bit. The
- 46:18price is moving higher. Let's fast
- 46:20forward a bit more. So, the price
- 46:26hasn't reached its peak yet. And we'll
- 46:28zoom in a little bit to get even more
- 46:30clarity. From here, let's zoom in a
- 46:33little more. See, all the liquid has
- 46:36come above it. It's been swept. Look,
- 46:37it's been swept. After the sweep, the
- 46:39market is consolidating like this.
- 46:41After the consolidation, the market
- 46:43suddenly goes up, and you can see a
- 46:46significant move coming. So, the market
- 46:48stagnated here for a long time because
- 46:49the sweep was done. Everyone was taking
- 46:51out their SLs. They kept selling here,
- 46:52thinking that a breakdown had come from
- 46:54here. Sell, sell, sell, immediately,
- 46:55the market took a swipe. Look, the
- 46:57market took a complete hit, and from
- 46:59there, you'll see the market slowly and
- 47:02steadily moving upwards. Then, after
- 47:04hitting this liquidity, it will come
- 47:05down a bit, and passive liquidity will
- 47:06come in, following it, the market will
- 47:08break down and keep moving upwards. So,
- 47:09friends, this is how the entire market
- 47:11works. I hope you enjoyed my concept.
- 47:14Thank you for watching this video,
- 47:15brother.
