  1. 0:01Hello and welcome back to a highly
  2. 0:06requested video, the official 10 a.m.
  3. 0:09guide. The video you guys have been
  4. 0:11waiting for. Um, funny enough, I
  5. 0:13actually made a video on this um last
  6. 0:16year, I think, if I'm not mistaken. But
  7. 0:19it's not called the 10 a.m. Guide, so no
  8. 0:22one watched it. All right. Um, ignore
  9. 0:25the car jack. It's just sometimes the
  10. 0:27cars get jacked.
  11. 0:30Um, new mic. Hopefully this sounds good.
  12. 0:32Shout out my girlfriend for getting me
  13. 0:33this. Um, looks very professional. So,
  14. 0:38I'm not going to [ __ ] around. Let's get
  15. 0:40straight into it and look at some
  16. 0:42charts.
  17. 0:44I'm going to make myself smaller. There
  18. 0:46we go. So, first of all, we are going to
  19. 0:50go over
  20. 0:53the whole concept of 10 a.m. why it
  21. 0:56works and how it works.
  22. 0:59and the framework behind it. Right?
  23. 1:02So on this chart in front of me right
  24. 1:05now, I have the 4hour candle of this
  25. 1:10specific setup. Right? So I'm just going
  26. 1:12to go ahead and start marking out the
  27. 1:16terminology for this. So this is the
  28. 1:18candle open, right?
  29. 1:22This is the candle
  30. 1:25high.
  31. 1:28This is important, so pay attention. For
  32. 1:31most of you guys probably know this
  33. 1:32already, but I'm trying to make like
  34. 1:36pretty much a beginner's guide. If I had
  35. 1:38to do
  36. 1:39everything from scratch, I would want
  37. 1:42someone to explain this to me like this.
  38. 1:47So, obviously, this 4hour candle hasn't
  39. 1:49closed, but this is what the closing
  40. 1:51price would be if it closed right there.
  41. 1:54So, this is how a 4hour candle open
  42. 1:57works. is how any candle open works.
  43. 2:00This particular scenario is an open high
  44. 2:03low close. Okay. The opposite scenario
  45. 2:07obviously would be an open low high
  46. 2:10close. In this scenario,
  47. 2:13by the way, for the record, this is 100.
  48. 2:16I've cherrypicked this setup because it
  49. 2:18is so clean. Like if I if I were to draw
  50. 2:21a setup with my hands, I would draw this
  51. 2:24exact setup because it's so clean.
  52. 2:25Obviously, it's hindsight cherry picked.
  53. 2:27I don't want any of those comments. This
  54. 2:29is just a good setup, clean, just to
  55. 2:31make you guys um make it easier to
  56. 2:34visualize and explain.
  57. 2:38So, yeah, this is this is the whole uh
  58. 2:41idea behind a 10 a.m. the 10 a.m.
  59. 2:44strategy, right? It is the open high,
  60. 2:45low, close, open, low, high, close. You
  61. 2:47guys have probably heard of that before.
  62. 2:49This is what that means. So,
  63. 2:53what what does this mean?
  64. 2:56Let's start there. So, when the 4hour
  65. 2:58candle opens at 10:00 a.m., right? 10
  66. 3:01a.m. becomes the opening. So, this is we
  67. 3:04would label this
  68. 3:0710:00 a.m.
  69. 3:09And mine is usually yellow, so I'll put
  70. 3:11it in yellow.
  71. 3:15When the 10 a.m. opens, we want to see
  72. 3:19either price manipulate to the upside,
  73. 3:22which makes us bearish. We want to see
  74. 3:24price come down below close below the
  75. 3:27opening price of 10 a.m. retest it and
  76. 3:30then continue for shorts. If we are
  77. 3:32bullish biased, we want 10 a.m. to open
  78. 3:36go straight down manipulate down right
  79. 3:40and distribute to the upside retest and
  80. 3:43redistribute.
  81. 3:46So
  82. 3:48open, low, high,
  83. 3:51whatever comes after open, we want to
  84. 3:54look for the opposite, right? And
  85. 3:56sometimes when we have a really strong
  86. 3:59external drawn liquidity, even though 10
  87. 4:02a.m. opens to the upside and just
  88. 4:05manipulates up, we might want to see a
  89. 4:07manipulation down and distribution up
  90. 4:10even though it manipulated up in the
  91. 4:12first place because that draw liquidity
  92. 4:15is so strong. If that didn't make sense,
  93. 4:18it'll probably make sense when I start
  94. 4:19explaining it with the live
  95. 4:21candlesticks. So
  96. 4:24hopefully
  97. 4:27that made sense with the open low high
  98. 4:30close. I will delete that those drawings
  99. 4:33now and then we can get into actually
  100. 4:37looking at price action. Right? So
  101. 4:39whenever you go into a new day
  102. 4:42obviously you guys if you've watched my
  103. 4:44videos you know my concepts the key
  104. 4:45opens the
  105. 4:48the draws on liquidity all that stuff
  106. 4:50what I use blah blah blah. Um, so I'm
  107. 4:53not going to go over that in this video.
  108. 4:54This is going to be strictly 10 a.m. I'm
  109. 4:56going to make it as simple as possible
  110. 4:58so that you guys can use it.
  111. 5:02What do we look for? We scale out in
  112. 5:04time frames and we look for the closest
  113. 5:07target, the strongest closest drawn
  114. 5:09liquidity. Right here we have two lows
  115. 5:13right here,
  116. 5:15which we are really close to when we
  117. 5:17open at 10 a.m. at in this particular
  118. 5:19scenario. So it would be very natural
  119. 5:22for us to use this as the next draw
  120. 5:24liquidity. Right? If you look at price,
  121. 5:26it is strongly gravitating towards those
  122. 5:29lows at market open. Market opens, Judas
  123. 5:32swing to the upside immediately flips,
  124. 5:35turns to the downside. Open, low, high,
  125. 5:38close, open, high, low, close.
  126. 5:40Essentially the same with market open,
  127. 5:41right? The first thing that market open
  128. 5:44does, you usually want to look for the
  129. 5:47opposite to happen later.
  130. 5:49So if market pumps up, find a bearish
  131. 5:52drawn liquidity and anticipate that to
  132. 5:54be the target.
  133. 5:58So let's scale back down into the one
  134. 6:00minute time frame and let's watch this
  135. 6:0310 a.m. open with the next candle.
  136. 6:07So this is how I play this, right? This
  137. 6:08is a setup that I took in real time back
  138. 6:12when it played out. So I'll delete some
  139. 6:15of these drawings just to make it
  140. 6:16cleaner.
  141. 6:1710 a.m. opens. First thing we do is we
  142. 6:20mark out the opening price. This yellow
  143. 6:23line. Okay, that's the 10 a.m. opening
  144. 6:26price. I will
  145. 6:30write it 10 a.m. open.
  146. 6:35Okay, good. Now, we want to look for a
  147. 6:38PDA, which is a a gap, an order block, a
  148. 6:43high that we can sweep, right? This high
  149. 6:46if I remember correctly was also
  150. 6:52a gap on one of the time frame. Yeah, it
  151. 6:53was a three minute gap
  152. 6:56and then also this is inside of a fivem
  153. 6:58minute gap. So this is perfect, right?
  154. 7:0110 a.m. opens. We
  155. 7:06wait for it. There we go. We manipulate
  156. 7:09straight up. Why is this good? This
  157. 7:12leaves us with no bottom wick. When I
  158. 7:15say no, this is two points of bottom
  159. 7:17wick. That is equal to no bottom wick. I
  160. 7:19don't care about a twopoint
  161. 7:20manipulation. That's not a manipulation.
  162. 7:22All right.
  163. 7:24So, we manipulate straight up, which is
  164. 7:26really good because that really
  165. 7:30um cements our bearish bias, right?
  166. 7:33There's no manipulation to the downside,
  167. 7:35which means that we can easily just
  168. 7:36anticipate the this move to the upside
  169. 7:40to be the manipulation.
  170. 7:42Now, we want to catch the distribution.
  171. 7:45So, the distribution should be to the
  172. 7:47downside, right?
  173. 7:49Now, I'm just going to play this nice
  174. 7:50and slow. Um, not everyone is a 10 a.m.
  175. 7:53veteran,
  176. 7:54so we're just going to go through it.
  177. 7:58Now, what we want to see, we want to see
  178. 8:00some candle closures below 10:00 a.m.
  179. 8:03for us to actually catch the retest down
  180. 8:06to these lows, right?
  181. 8:10One candle close, two candle close.
  182. 8:12Good. Now, when this happens,
  183. 8:17also worth noting, you also usually want
  184. 8:19to look at like not only the one, but
  185. 8:22one, three, and five. My favorites are
  186. 8:24like one and five. Um, pay attention to
  187. 8:27the candle closures. This example is
  188. 8:30really good because the 10:05 5m minute
  189. 8:34candle closes below the 10:00 a.m.
  190. 8:37opening price, which makes this a good
  191. 8:40change in state of delivery, order
  192. 8:42block, whatever you want to call it. I
  193. 8:43don't care what type of terminology
  194. 8:45you're on. Don't fight over it in the
  195. 8:48comments. Nobody gives a [ __ ] Um,
  196. 8:51that's what this is. Okay, we close
  197. 8:53below this bullish candle, essentially
  198. 8:56switching um market structure to the
  199. 8:59downside. All right, that's on the
  200. 9:02five-minute chart. And then on the one
  201. 9:03minute chart, we get two candle closures
  202. 9:05below. Okay, great. Literally picture
  203. 9:08perfect. So long so far. Sorry. We place
  204. 9:11our limit at 10:00 a.m. when it is
  205. 9:13natural to do so. Now,
  206. 9:16another thing is stop-loss placement.
  207. 9:20Very, very, very important, right? How
  208. 9:22do we place a stop-loss right here?
  209. 9:26Placing a stop loss is very
  210. 9:29hard because we are relatively volatile.
  211. 9:33This little move to the downside here is
  212. 9:37130 points, although it may not look
  213. 9:39like it. So, your stop-loss size is
  214. 9:42always going to be subjective to
  215. 9:44volatility, right? You can't always just
  216. 9:47use a 10point stop, a 15-point stop.
  217. 9:50back in like 2024 when we were less
  218. 9:52volatile. Sure. Um I got away with
  219. 9:5510point stops very often. 15 point stops
  220. 9:57were really really consistent. We're
  221. 9:58good. But sometimes we are really
  222. 10:01volatile. So a 10point 15 point stop
  223. 10:03you're basically just giving money to
  224. 10:04the market. Don't do that. All right. We
  225. 10:06want to have a stop loss that actually
  226. 10:08protects our position. Okay. So for this
  227. 10:12when we don't really have a high to go
  228. 10:14off of, what I like to do is I like to
  229. 10:16use the fib, right?
  230. 10:18How can we protect our stop loss?
  231. 10:22Now, in this case, protecting our stop
  232. 10:26loss by putting it above 0.5
  233. 10:28is 35 points. That's a lot. If you want
  234. 10:31to target this first low down here,
  235. 10:33you're only getting a 1 to 2.7.
  236. 10:36Not good. Um, I like to go for at least
  237. 10:39one to fives. So, you could do a
  238. 10:43stop-loss purely based off of your
  239. 10:45risk-to-reward, right? Where is your
  240. 10:48target? Where is your drawn liquidity?
  241. 10:50Okay, my target is 100 points away.
  242. 10:54Which means that I can afford to put a
  243. 10:58you'll see it right here. This is a 1
  244. 10:59to5. I can afford to put a 20 point stop
  245. 11:02loss. Okay. Now, 20 points in this
  246. 11:06volatility right here, it's not a lot.
  247. 11:08It's um I would say it's it's minimum
  248. 11:12because 15
  249. 11:14you would you would have to you would
  250. 11:16have to be certain that price is
  251. 11:18literally going to tick 10:00 a.m. and
  252. 11:20then turn around.
  253. 11:23Does it do that very often? Yes. Um but
  254. 11:26do we want to leave some room for price
  255. 11:28to [ __ ] around? Yes. The other option
  256. 11:32would be to use an entry trigger. An
  257. 11:33entry trigger is a uh lower time frame
  258. 11:36rejection block that taps the level and
  259. 11:39then rejects. Obviously,
  260. 11:42I don't think we get that here. If I
  261. 11:43remember correctly, I think price
  262. 11:45literally just taps into 10 a.m.
  263. 11:48and right. So, let's let's imagine that
  264. 11:54we waited for the rejection block,
  265. 11:56right? I'm going to delete this. This
  266. 11:58would be your entry. If you didn't take
  267. 12:00this 10 a.m. entry, right, the one that
  268. 12:02I had marked, this would be your entry.
  269. 12:06The good thing about rejection block
  270. 12:07entries is that it gives you a good
  271. 12:11invalidation point because it gives you
  272. 12:12a high that you can go off of. Um
  273. 12:17so that's the benefit of um entry
  274. 12:20triggers, rejection box. The downside is
  275. 12:23exactly what happened here. You get left
  276. 12:25behind.
  277. 12:27So initially right this is the short
  278. 12:29that we wanted
  279. 12:32put our stop
  280. 12:34put RTP
  281. 12:36this is the
  282. 12:39short that we wanted this is a limit
  283. 12:41order right candle closes below twice we
  284. 12:44get the fiveminute candle close makes an
  285. 12:46order block blah blah blah we put a
  286. 12:48limit order
  287. 12:54if you were to wait for the rejection
  288. 12:56block, you would have gotten left
  289. 12:57behind, which is unfortunate and
  290. 12:58sometimes it leads people to tilting
  291. 13:00blah blah blah. So, it's really personal
  292. 13:02preference whether you want to wait for
  293. 13:04entry triggers, which are stronger
  294. 13:06trades, more confirmation, less
  295. 13:09likelihood of it going to your
  296. 13:10stop-loss. You get a better invalidation
  297. 13:12point most often.
  298. 13:15But yeah, this, as I said, is a picture
  299. 13:18perfect setup. So, you know what you can
  300. 13:21do when you trade high R? You can do
  301. 13:22both.
  302. 13:24That's usually what I do. I usually just
  303. 13:27if the limit order looks really good and
  304. 13:29it's high quality, I will do that. If it
  305. 13:31fails, so what? I will take the entry
  306. 13:34trigger and um hopefully catch a win. If
  307. 13:37I take two losses in a row in a day,
  308. 13:39I'll get off. Don't really care, right?
  309. 13:43This setup has been weirdly consistent
  310. 13:46over the past like this this year. Um,
  311. 13:49and last year also it's been really
  312. 13:51consistent
  313. 13:53and like weirdly so. Like it's been
  314. 13:58I don't even know how to describe it,
  315. 13:59bro. I've had u coders like asking me to
  316. 14:04code a 10 a.m. bot because they've back
  317. 14:06tested it, done like [ __ ] whatever
  318. 14:10quants do and they're like this is this
  319. 14:12is weirdly high performing. And so
  320. 14:17I don't I'm not a genius. I just this
  321. 14:20originally I started trading key opens.
  322. 14:23My first key open was the midnight open,
  323. 14:24right? Which kind of works similarly but
  324. 14:26on the daily chart more so. Um the 10
  325. 14:29a.m. it's a 4hour open high low close.
  326. 14:34You got time framework, you got price
  327. 14:36framework, you got everything just in
  328. 14:39one setup. That's why I like it.
  329. 14:41Anyways, that's enough yapping. So,
  330. 14:47holy [ __ ] But yeah, um
  331. 14:52this is the
  332. 14:55foundation of 10 a.m., right? This is
  333. 14:58roughly what you want to be looking for.
  334. 15:00Not every day is going to look like
  335. 15:02this. All right?
  336. 15:04Not even close. They look very Sometimes
  337. 15:06they look completely different.
  338. 15:08Sometimes you have to completely
  339. 15:09disregard the first entries because it's
  340. 15:13just not clean. Let's take for example
  341. 15:16today. Let me delete everything and exit
  342. 15:20here. Leave. I had to make a I had to
  343. 15:23make a video about this today and post
  344. 15:24it because today was um
  345. 15:27today was really bad, but it was also
  346. 15:30very very easy to anticipate.
  347. 15:35So, let me mark the 10 a.m. from today.
  348. 15:38It's right there.
  349. 15:40Now,
  350. 15:42does this look good to you guys?
  351. 15:45Actually, let's go into replay because
  352. 15:46that's the only way you would actually
  353. 15:48see it
  354. 15:51right here off the bat. I'm going to
  355. 15:52bring ES into this as well. Oh, ES is
  356. 15:55not in replay mode, but
  357. 15:59we'll do um wait
  358. 16:05there.
  359. 16:07This is when 10 a.m. opened today on ES
  360. 16:09and this is on ENQ. So, I've made a
  361. 16:12video about this before as well, but I I
  362. 16:15I don't think it's uh it's not really
  363. 16:17exciting or sexy, so people just don't
  364. 16:19watch it. I think it's named um knowing
  365. 16:22when not to trade or stop getting
  366. 16:23manipulated or something like that.
  367. 16:26There's really four main things that you
  368. 16:28want to look for when you go into a
  369. 16:30trading day. So most of you guys, I'm
  370. 16:33assuming you trade New York AM session,
  371. 16:35right?
  372. 16:36Things that you want to be looking for
  373. 16:38when you do that.
  374. 16:40If the previous session expanded a lot,
  375. 16:45you usually want to be careful with New
  376. 16:47York AM session before because the
  377. 16:50sessions usually move in a accumulation
  378. 16:53manipulation distribution pattern. So if
  379. 16:56the previous session distributed
  380. 16:59what's next accumulation
  381. 17:02and here it's kind of hard to spot,
  382. 17:05right?
  383. 17:06Uh if we play this obviously
  384. 17:10already here you can tell that this is
  385. 17:13like this is chop. This is accumulation.
  386. 17:15We don't want to be taking entries in
  387. 17:17this. Now the first valid entry today
  388. 17:21was this. And you guys can probably
  389. 17:23notice that it looks very similar to the
  390. 17:26setup that we went over in replay mode.
  391. 17:30And the reason this is good is because
  392. 17:32it manipulates straight up. We have wait
  393. 17:35let me actually mark these.
  394. 17:38These are not perfectly equal
  395. 17:41but they are almost equal lows. Uh it
  396. 17:45got swept by one point apparently which
  397. 17:47is kind of
  398. 17:50gy but it's fine. Um
  399. 17:55so yeah you can see right there that's
  400. 17:56the low that we would be aiming for.
  401. 17:57Also this looks like a market maker cell
  402. 18:00model. Looks relatively good right.
  403. 18:03So that would have been the first entry.
  404. 18:05So you you would have limit ordered this
  405. 18:08and this would have either gotten break
  406. 18:10even or stop loss depending on how you
  407. 18:12played it. Again, how big of a stop-loss
  408. 18:16can we have to maintain a one to five? I
  409. 18:20don't always do one to five, guys. It's
  410. 18:21just that's what I do with my
  411. 18:24um my biggest stack of accounts because
  412. 18:26that's just been really consistent. Um,
  413. 18:29with with accounts with no consistency
  414. 18:31rule, you can go crazy and do 1 to 10, 1
  415. 18:32to 20 RR. Yesterday, I did a 1 to 17. It
  416. 18:35was pretty crazy, but that account
  417. 18:37didn't have a consistency rule, so
  418. 18:38that's that's different. Anyways,
  419. 18:42looking at this low, I'm not going to go
  420. 18:45too much into depth on this, but we can
  421. 18:47go over this as well as a as a failing
  422. 18:49setup. It's also good to have u have
  423. 18:52knowledge about what a failing setup
  424. 18:53will look like. So, this low right is
  425. 18:56from 953. We're going to go ahead and
  426. 18:59mark that same low on ES. Oops, that's
  427. 19:01not a low at all. There we go.
  428. 19:05That is the low on ES, the 953 low. Now,
  429. 19:09957
  430. 19:11right there. As you can see already
  431. 19:13here, we got a bullish SMT. Should we be
  432. 19:17shorting a bullish SMT? Probably not.
  433. 19:20But we got daily equal lows. So, what is
  434. 19:23a little one minute SMT, you know?
  435. 19:30Okay, that is on there. Good.
  436. 19:33Next candle,
  437. 19:35boom, you get tapped in. And then what
  438. 19:38happens?
  439. 19:40The 957 candle. So, I'm going to move
  440. 19:44this up here. Now,
  441. 19:47get swept on NQ. Right.
  442. 19:51The 953 candle. This this is also a
  443. 19:54really good indication of whether price
  444. 19:56action is going to be bad is if there's
  445. 19:58really poor correlation which there is
  446. 20:00here. ES is straight dump and Q is
  447. 20:03straight chop. Okay, that's another
  448. 20:06thing. So today we had two reasons not
  449. 20:09to trade. First of all, London and Asia
  450. 20:11expanded like 700 points, some crazy
  451. 20:14[ __ ] And we're not correlating off
  452. 20:16open. Two reasons not to trade, right?
  453. 20:21Anyways, here we also get a big SMT,
  454. 20:26right? NQ is literally just refusing to
  455. 20:29take lows while ES is just melting
  456. 20:31through them. So, here you got the
  457. 20:34option to go either break even when you
  458. 20:36see this SMT just to be safe
  459. 20:39or if you have this as your hard break
  460. 20:42even point, you would have gotten
  461. 20:45stopped out. Okay, good. Now, let's go
  462. 20:49over the next setup today. Today is
  463. 20:53probably a day where people had
  464. 20:55questions, but at the same time,
  465. 20:57probably not because it's just straight
  466. 20:58chop. Yeah, let's go over this. What is
  467. 21:01the next valid setup, right? Maybe
  468. 21:04shorts aren't the move.
  469. 21:08So, here,
  470. 21:11do we short here? No.
  471. 21:14Do we long here? No. Why? Let's look at
  472. 21:17this.
  473. 21:19Is this looking like a high probability
  474. 21:22trading setup?
  475. 21:24No. Why not? This is straight
  476. 21:26accumulation. We are just accumulating
  477. 21:29right now. This there's nothing to do
  478. 21:30here. I've This is actually a sore
  479. 21:32topic. See, I've gotten burned so many
  480. 21:34times trading this kind of price action,
  481. 21:36bro. Because I get blind to the fact
  482. 21:39that we are actually just in a range,
  483. 21:42but I keep seeing, oh, fair value gap.
  484. 21:44Oh, we inverse that. Oh, there's an
  485. 21:45order block. Oh, there's a key open. Oh,
  486. 21:47the fib. But the fib uh it's like
  487. 21:50nothing is going to matter when price is
  488. 21:52accumulating like this. Nothing. It's
  489. 21:54going to it's going to run through
  490. 21:55everything. All right. So,
  491. 21:58if I have a tip, get better at
  492. 22:01identifying those kinds of scenarios and
  493. 22:03these kinds of um
  494. 22:07price action scenarios. Yeah.
  495. 22:09First valid setup in my opinion for
  496. 22:12longs today would be this where we
  497. 22:14actually sweep out the low of the range.
  498. 22:17Prior to that, nothing had gotten swept
  499. 22:19out. We left equal highs right here.
  500. 22:21Nice target, right? So the first long
  501. 22:24would be this, right? We have an inverse
  502. 22:26for value gap here. Blah blah blah. Uh
  503. 22:29we got the key open right there. So the
  504. 22:32limit would be set.
  505. 22:38So that would be your break even.
  506. 22:39Probably wouldn't be your TP because
  507. 22:41it's really close. TP probably be
  508. 22:43further up, right?
  509. 22:47At least that's that was my original
  510. 22:48idea when I was looking at this.
  511. 22:52So yeah, your limit order would go on
  512. 22:55when this candle closed, right? We got
  513. 22:57two candle closures about above 10 a.m.
  514. 22:59Great limit order that
  515. 23:03price goes straight for the equal lows.
  516. 23:06Sorry, equal highs. Boom. we move it to
  517. 23:08break even and we get break even.
  518. 23:11If you continued to trade after that
  519. 23:14today, I'm sorry, but it's not a good
  520. 23:18idea cuz we did this the whole day. This
  521. 23:21was just
  522. 23:23straight slop. So, hopefully you guys
  523. 23:26didn't get burnt today. Too bad. Um,
  524. 23:31but yeah, this is this is a very this is
  525. 23:33a very difficult thing to get off the
  526. 23:35chart, especially after you take a loss
  527. 23:36or you take two losses. It's not easy to
  528. 23:39pull away from the chart because you
  529. 23:41want to make that back, right? This too
  530. 23:43is just [ __ ] infuriating. This is
  531. 23:47this is just straight rage bait. So Oh,
  532. 23:53bro. I remember the the worst the worst
  533. 23:55crash out days. Holy [ __ ] I just got a
  534. 23:59PTSD. I almost had a tear. The worst
  535. 24:01days, my worst crash out days where I
  536. 24:03would, you know, that clip where I
  537. 24:05smashed my MacBook. It was one of
  538. 24:07[ __ ] one of these [ __ ] days
  539. 24:10where just every entry got absolutely
  540. 24:13wrecked and I I was so angry, bro. Holy
  541. 24:16[ __ ] I was so angry. Um but yeah,
  542. 24:19anyways, the the four the four um the
  543. 24:22four ways of telling that price action
  544. 24:24is going to be bad. One, previous
  545. 24:25session expands a lot. Two, no
  546. 24:28correlation. Three,
  547. 24:32before red folder news such as CPI, PPI,
  548. 24:36and NFP. Those are the three worst to be
  549. 24:39trading before. Whenever you got those
  550. 24:42news at 8:30,
  551. 24:44for the love of God, wait until they are
  552. 24:48released and then trade later. Do not
  553. 24:50trade before that because it's going to
  554. 24:52be it's going to be straight
  555. 24:53manipulation. is going to be slow and
  556. 24:56it's just going to it's going to sweep
  557. 24:57every high and low. It's going to be
  558. 24:58messy. Don't do that. And then also
  559. 25:01whenever
  560. 25:02there's FOMC in PM session, AM session
  561. 25:06usually is really really ass. So
  562. 25:11really ass. Don't do that. Um obviously
  563. 25:15you I'm I can't tell you what to do. If
  564. 25:17you got um
  565. 25:19a stack of accounts that you want to be
  566. 25:21really risky with, go for it. trade
  567. 25:23every single day, every single hour, I
  568. 25:24don't care. It's just cons my
  569. 25:27observations is it's not going to be
  570. 25:28really consistent. So, it's probably
  571. 25:30going to lead to more crash outs and
  572. 25:32more accounts blown than payouts
  573. 25:35submitted.
  574. 25:37Just a friendly friendly reminder. So,
  575. 25:41yeah. Um
  576. 25:44this is uh that was a lot of yapping.
  577. 25:48This is um a lot to take in. So, watch
  578. 25:52it twice, three times if you're not
  579. 25:54familiar with this already. Uh, I just
  580. 25:56keep seeing people kind of trade 10 a.m.
  581. 25:59too mechanically, which it shouldn't be.
  582. 26:01You should have a bias and you should
  583. 26:04watch where do we manipulate into and
  584. 26:07what's going to be the distribution and
  585. 26:09all this stuff. The reason that I like
  586. 26:10it, it's timed. You got a framework
  587. 26:13around everything. If you're uncertain
  588. 26:15of where price is moving, trade the 10
  589. 26:18a.m. manipulation distribution.
  590. 26:21That's why I like it. So, um, yeah,
  591. 26:24hopefully you guys have been doing good
  592. 26:26submitting payouts. I know some of you
  593. 26:27have because you keep spamming me with
  594. 26:28that on TikTok and Discord. So, that
  595. 26:30makes me really happy. That's really
  596. 26:31good.
  597. 26:34Other than that, stay consistent.
  598. 26:37Um,
  599. 26:40I have people coming up to me all the
  600. 26:41time, like in real life, asking for
  601. 26:43advice, and I keep saying the same
  602. 26:44thing. Slow is smooth and smooth is
  603. 26:47fast. Um, I have friends as well that
  604. 26:50just blow accounts um, faster than I
  605. 26:55thought was even possible. And that's
  606. 26:57pretty much what I tell them. Um, also a
  607. 27:01thing for some of you that have jobs and
  608. 27:03you have like stable incomes, some of
  609. 27:05you have it too good to the point where
  610. 27:07you don't care about the EVA fee because
  611. 27:09it's so cheap, right? But trust me, that
  612. 27:12[ __ ] adds up. So,
  613. 27:14even though you're well off, right, you
  614. 27:16have a job, maybe you get stable income,
  615. 27:18you you don't really have that struggle,
  616. 27:22um, please be mindful of your eval
  617. 27:24spending and all this stuff because it
  618. 27:26really does add up. especially
  619. 27:30if you're not getting the payouts. Um,
  620. 27:31don't gamble evals if you're not getting
  621. 27:33payouts. Treat the evals as if it was a
  622. 27:35funded account.
  623. 27:37Good. Now,
  624. 27:40um,
  625. 27:41that was a lot of of yapping. Um, the 10
  626. 27:44a.m. bot that I was talking about, I'm
  627. 27:46probably going to look more into that. I
  628. 27:47got to test it myself just to make sure
  629. 27:49that it's not some [ __ ] And um
  630. 27:53yeah, I mean, let me get let me know if
  631. 27:55you guys want want a release of a 10
  632. 27:57a.m. bot. I've never never dabbled in
  633. 28:00bots or indicators or really any of
  634. 28:02that. So, it would have to be something
  635. 28:03really really good. It would have to
  636. 28:04have a certain level of discretion,
  637. 28:07which I'm sure they were able to code.
  638. 28:09Um AI and all this [ __ ] is crazy
  639. 28:10nowadays. Can't even keep up. But, um
  640. 28:14yeah,
  641. 28:16I enjoy posting for free.
  642. 28:20I've done it more and more just because
  643. 28:22of the results that you guys have been
  644. 28:25seeing and I don't want everything to be
  645. 28:28behind a pay wall. That's kind of g my
  646. 28:31opinion. I hope I can say that word on
  647. 28:32YouTube [ __ ] But yeah, really enjoy
  648. 28:36when you guys get payouts and you post
  649. 28:38it and tag me. So
  650. 28:42yeah, if you want to
  651. 28:45support me or whatever, uh, use code
  652. 28:47Powell on Apex and Lucid and that stuff.
  653. 28:49[snorts] Apex 90% off. Lucid is, uh, 40
  654. 28:53right now on the daily accounts, which
  655. 28:55are pretty nice. By the way, uh, also I
  656. 28:58do giveaways every week in the Discord,
  657. 28:59so in the free Discord. So if you
  658. 29:01haven't joined that, then for sure go
  659. 29:03join that. I try to get as many accounts
  660. 29:06as possible from these firms to give
  661. 29:08away
  662. 29:10um to everyone um the free community,
  663. 29:13you know, uh really grateful that you
  664. 29:16guys watch my stuff. There's a lot of
  665. 29:18people and a lot of opportunities that I
  666. 29:20wouldn't have if I didn't have a social
  667. 29:22media platform. So,
  668. 29:26thank you. Um, other than that, stay
  669. 29:29safe. Don't be stupid with your money.
  670. 29:33And, um, yeah, slow is smooth, smooth is
  671. 29:36fast. Time is going to pass anyways. And
  672. 29:39it passes [ __ ] quick. So, stop
  673. 29:41thinking you got no time. Um, time
  674. 29:45passes. So, if you have a bad week, a
  675. 29:46bad day, literally doesn't matter at all
  676. 29:50whatsoever. All right? Trust me. I made
  677. 29:53the mistake of of rushing to make back
  678. 29:56losses or whatever. Um, and it just
  679. 29:59didn't matter whatsoever in the long
  680. 30:02run. And that's also what I tell my
  681. 30:04friends like if you have a bad week or
  682. 30:05you spend an eval week on an eval, it
  683. 30:08doesn't matter. Like they're scared to
  684. 30:09spend time on eval because there's no
  685. 30:12real money. It's like you're trying to
  686. 30:14learn the [ __ ] skill. You have to
  687. 30:16learn the skill to make the money. So
  688. 30:20yeah. Um, it's not a hard concept to
  689. 30:23understand, but it's really hard to
  690. 30:25apply it when
  691. 30:27it comes to money because you're so
  692. 30:29attached to it, right? But yeah, as
  693. 30:33homework, please, please exercise being
  694. 30:37better at just pulling yourself away
  695. 30:38from the chart at times because uh yeah,
  696. 30:42it it's going to be really destructive
  697. 30:44if you can't do that.
  698. 30:47It is like gambling. It's like sitting
  699. 30:49at the casino doing slots. So, roulette.
  700. 30:52All right. It's um if you don't have a
  701. 30:54framework, that's literally what you're
  702. 30:56doing. You're you're at the casino.
  703. 31:01I think that was all that I wanted to
  704. 31:03say. So, um yeah, thank you guys for
  705. 31:07watching. Hopefully, this was helpful.
  706. 31:10And, uh let me know if there's any
  707. 31:12videos that you guys want to see. Um
  708. 31:13technical was like the most requested
  709. 31:15video, so here we are.
  710. 31:19Good. Have a good weekend.
