- 1:13yesterday's trading action as well
- 1:16uh we had a good read yesterday uh and
- 1:19then became a pretty tricky session for
- 1:21the rest of the
- 1:23rest of the day here we saw the move
- 1:24down we're looking for that move down we
- 1:27wanted to see it hit this
- 1:284425 area
- 1:31we looked for the
- 1:33potential reversal down here
- 1:36and
- 1:37had some good insights
- 1:39not only just order flow
- 1:41but uh
- 1:42it was a doug helping us out there which
- 1:44we're going to do an ama with him on
- 1:46friday
- 1:47and some correlations in there a lot of
- 1:49correlations
- 1:51and a beautiful move back up all right
- 1:53so you know very very kind of tricky uh
- 1:56session as you guys can see tons of
- 1:57sellers came in end of the day here or
- 2:00midday i guess uh
- 2:02and uh i traded right down into this
- 2:044425 which we were looking for earlier
- 2:07and just shy of this high liquidity down
- 2:09here now today
- 2:11uh look at them underneath here
- 2:14in the uh in the order book
- 2:16this was pre-market
- 2:18and yeah you know they
- 2:20sellers started to trade into some of
- 2:22this but look at the the boost here
- 2:23today and where is it where is it headed
- 2:26right up to high liquidity up here it's
- 2:28been in the book
- 2:30uh since i guess sunday night probably
- 2:32uh you know up here at uh this uh let's
- 2:35see here it's just about to trade into
- 2:37it or it already did
- 2:40okay around this 90 level up here is it
- 2:4290
- 2:43yeah in fact you can see kind of last
- 2:45minute here they pulled here
- 2:48they were up a little bit higher uh
- 2:50around this 92 area and pulled and added
- 2:53it lower here at 90. and they're just
- 2:55transacting here all right so
- 2:57um
- 2:58now we'll take a look at this in the
- 3:00into the bigger picture uh and
- 3:02understand what's going on uh good
- 3:04morning guys uh good morning jimmy uh
- 3:06and uh
- 3:08uh techy girl all right
- 3:11um
- 3:12let's uh
- 3:13let's check it out here well i mean
- 3:15so far so good
- 3:17you know more buyers they're they're in
- 3:18the book here 85
- 3:20and
- 3:21looking for more buyers up here now it's
- 3:23slightly breaking out here okay so
- 3:27you know kind of a bit of a slowdown
- 3:29here still buyers are still in control
- 3:32so we're still looking for them to break
- 3:33higher here 92
- 3:35and 95 we have the figure up here at 4
- 3:38500.
- 3:40all right so just kind of outlining some
- 3:42bigger bigger
- 3:44structural
- 3:45areas here to understand what might be
- 3:48uh
- 3:49trading here
- 3:51and so far so good i mean buyers clearly
- 3:54took control down here
- 3:56at 83. look at the buying coming in okay
- 3:59look at it how it trades into this high
- 4:01liquidity here and right through it
- 4:03uh and then up into that uh 90 and
- 4:0790 liquidity up here that had been in
- 4:09the book for quite a while and they just
- 4:11just moved it down to 90. okay so still
- 4:14looking for the move here to 92
- 4:15continuation
- 4:17all right so let's see if we can get it
- 4:19here
- 4:20we do see some selling starting to come
- 4:22in here structure is still bullish
- 4:24though okay that's important to note
- 4:26here
- 4:27right so these
- 4:28sellers in here there can be a beautiful
- 4:31stop run if we get enough buyers up here
- 4:33okay the question is do we get enough
- 4:35buyers up here at 90. and you can see we
- 4:38we didn't quite yet
- 4:41so sellers are coming in
- 4:43right now
- 4:44and they're going to trade it back down
- 4:46to this 87 level and maybe back down to
- 4:48this 85 level here
- 4:51okay they're going to try to get these
- 4:52guys upended
- 4:54these buyers in here
- 4:56okay so
- 4:58anyway
- 4:59we would anticipate buyers to still
- 5:02support this down at these levels here
- 5:0484.85
- 5:07because this is where they came into
- 5:08control of the market
- 5:10and that's why they're on the bid here
- 5:13and they're supporting it
- 5:15so all the way back down to even you
- 5:17know probably down to 83 here you can
- 5:19still be bullish in fact you you can add
- 5:22to your position
- 5:24or you can look for that as a possible
- 5:26setup here
- 5:28all right so anyway
- 5:29yeah they
- 5:31just couldn't quite make it here we're
- 5:33looking pretty good in here looking for
- 5:35it but
- 5:37no support underneath really in the in
- 5:39the order book and
- 5:40and not a whole lot of selling uh here
- 5:43to bring this to bring this lower in
- 5:45fact
- 5:45all right so that's like a low volume
- 5:47pullback
- 5:48right so let's see if we get buyers now
- 5:51to come in here right here 87
- 5:55and let's see if they can lift it right
- 5:57back to 90 here
- 6:01here they come
- 6:05there they there they go
- 6:08now i want to see them break 92
- 6:11okay because we have a lot of buying up
- 6:12here but i want to see them try to break
- 6:14this 90 level
- 6:23and now we gotta we have to go back and
- 6:24take a look at the bigger picture here
- 6:26and we will in just a minute here let's
- 6:27see if we can just get this order flow
- 6:29uh move here uh back up into 90 and
- 6:32break out
- 6:33okay buyers should support it right
- 6:35around here we just broke out of this
- 6:37small range here this is where the
- 6:39buyers came in
- 6:40so we're looking for them to support it
- 6:43and trade back up to here 89.50 and 90.
- 6:50all right let's see if we get buyers
- 6:52right here at 87.50
- 6:54that's what we're looking for
- 6:59let's see it let's see it buyers and
- 7:01they should get a quick pop to 89 and 90
- 7:03here
- 7:12not yet
- 7:13there we go all right so we should get
- 7:15the move there there's some liquidity
- 7:16there supporting it
- 7:18as well it's pretty far away uh we'd
- 7:20like to see it a lot closer
- 7:22uh but you know the the market tests
- 7:24engages uh the buying pressure in here
- 7:27if they put this if someone puts this
- 7:29much much liquidity on the bid what's
- 7:32the reaction
- 7:33and you can see
- 7:34there's been buyers here not you know
- 7:36not a whole lot but there's buyers and
- 7:38we're back up to 89 now looking for a 90
- 7:41and looking for the breakout here in a
- 7:42stop run we we already see a bit of a
- 7:44stop run here with the red line down
- 7:46here
- 7:47okay i want to see it break out though
- 7:4990 to 92 and above
- 7:54and yeah here's another test another
- 7:56test in here high liquidity just came in
- 7:58here as you guys can see
- 8:00it's a there's an iceberg buying in here
- 8:02as well
- 8:03and we can go through that if you guys
- 8:05like um uh so you see how they're kind
- 8:07of gauging here this they're staying in
- 8:09the book here and trading too
- 8:11uh you know it could be some profit
- 8:12taking there's our move to 90. okay um
- 8:15and they're trying to gauge the buying
- 8:16pressure in here
- 8:20so i mean that yeah they maybe they're
- 8:22they're getting out of their positions i
- 8:24mean they are transacting there's no
- 8:25doubt about that so they're they're
- 8:27sellers
- 8:30and we got to 90 and that's it
- 8:34looking i want to see the breakout of 90
- 8:36here
- 8:38see if we get another retest book looks
- 8:39pretty good i mean you know they're
- 8:41they're stacking up here a little bit
- 8:46okay on the bid from 87 down to like 84.
- 8:50and let's see it
- 8:52up at 90 looking for our buyers again
- 8:55i want to see this book really support
- 8:57it underneath okay you can see them
- 8:59coming in here a little bit more
- 9:02i want to see them really come up here
- 9:04though
- 9:04around 88.50 or maybe even closer and
- 9:08let's see if we can get the the buyers
- 9:10up here our green dots and then a boost
- 9:12up into 92.
- 9:15there they go
- 9:17and i see i'm going to see more than
- 9:18that and it's not bad it's looking
- 9:20pretty good looking pretty good there we
- 9:22go there's 90 92
- 9:25okay so 95 and 4500 the figure okay so
- 9:30anyway guys what we're going through
- 9:32here
- 9:33um
- 9:34and i'll show you on a more micro scale
- 9:36level
- 9:37uh what we're talking about uh in here
- 9:41can can everyone hear me uh if you could
- 9:43just i'm not sure if i'm quite uh
- 9:46reaching everybody can you just uh type
- 9:48a yes in the in the
- 9:51if you're in discord type it in the room
- 9:53there
- 9:53if you're on youtube type it in youtube
- 10:01slight delay on
- 10:02youtube okay thanks guys i appreciate it
- 10:05yeah yeah because i want to make sure
- 10:08we're
- 10:08i'm uh
- 10:10i'm not talking to myself here uh
- 10:12because what i want to go through here
- 10:14uh is um understanding
- 10:16um this trending move and sticking with
- 10:19the the direction
- 10:22and we're going to look at this example
- 10:24here um in in hindsight
- 10:27but we're going to go through
- 10:28microstructural levels
- 10:31okay we're going to go through and
- 10:32understand
- 10:34kind of hammer home our bookmap
- 10:35education
- 10:37and how to stick with these kinds of
- 10:39moves because that's what we were
- 10:40looking for this was the primary
- 10:42scenario now order flow can change in a
- 10:45heartbeat
- 10:46there could be just massive liquidity on
- 10:49one level a massive player comes in and
- 10:51just
- 10:52dumps their position or something like
- 10:54this or there could be some geopolitical
- 10:56event
- 10:57and all of this would change in a
- 10:59heartbeat
- 11:01that's trading uh that's the risk we
- 11:04always take and that's one thing that i
- 11:06i think as traders
- 11:08we all have to be very aware of that um
- 11:14there's always risk always it's it's
- 11:16basically unavoidable
- 11:21in fact the only time that i've ever
- 11:22heard
- 11:24of
- 11:24a riskless trade
- 11:27uh
- 11:28it was on a it was on a youtube video of
- 11:29uh they were interviewing a um a quant
- 11:33uh it was years years ago
- 11:35uh and it was about quote stuffing
- 11:39uh and stocks how um
- 11:42you could see quote stuffing in book map
- 11:44very very easily
- 11:46years ago it was fantastic in fact there
- 11:49were some oil traders that
- 11:52one in particular that i recall he said
- 11:55oh yeah i look for quote stuffing before
- 11:56i take my position
- 11:58but he counted on it
- 12:00so you know you can look up quotes quote
- 12:03stuffing but just to kind of finish the
- 12:04story quickly here
- 12:06uh
- 12:07throwing in tons of orders
- 12:10and also getting filled at the same
- 12:13moment it will kind of clog up the order
- 12:15book
- 12:16and allow you
- 12:18an edge
- 12:20to take a few ticks
- 12:23and uh basically a riskless trade
- 12:25uh to the point where like you you
- 12:27really aren't taking any risk uh and uh
- 12:30and being able to kind of guarantee a
- 12:32profit
- 12:33anyway uh you can look up quote stuffing
- 12:35and we can also go over
- 12:37a bit of quote stuffing in here we can
- 12:39add a column in here and i just want to
- 12:41show you
- 12:42we can add a column and we're going to
- 12:45right click in the column and go over
- 12:47quotes counter here
- 12:49this is showing the amount of quotes
- 12:51that are refreshed in bookmap
- 12:53okay or in the in the market here and
- 12:55let's let's move it uh over here
- 12:58to the front column here so the cqc
- 13:00column here
- 13:02okay so you can see
- 13:04now
- 13:05actually i'm going to change it into a
- 13:06session not chart range of column okay
- 13:08so for the session look look at all the
- 13:10quotes in here okay being refreshed
- 13:13in fact you can split this data out as
- 13:15well
- 13:16uh and
- 13:18we can look at buy minus sell quotes uh
- 13:22in here uh and basically a flurry of
- 13:25activity uh you know that it shows
- 13:28that there's interest uh in trading
- 13:32okay now you can see that there's been a
- 13:33flurry of activity right now around this
- 13:36area in here because that's where all
- 13:37the transactions are taking place
- 13:40but you'll you also see sometimes down
- 13:42here you'll see a flurry of activity
- 13:44uh that you know there's buyers down
- 13:46here that keep on refreshing
- 13:48they want to be buyers down here
- 13:51right so
- 13:52uh and you can get a lot of insight from
- 13:55uh from that um so yeah play around with
- 13:58the quotes quotes counter if you guys
- 14:00want but just wanted to show that
- 14:03and and cover that
- 14:06we'll hide that column now
- 14:08all right so let's see what happens so
- 14:09we got up to our 92
- 14:12and threw it
- 14:15no right to it and that's it
- 14:18okay we wanted more than that uh and we
- 14:21didn't get it and we see sellers come in
- 14:23but look at they're still supporting it
- 14:24here
- 14:25uh at uh at 86
- 14:28and they just transacted into that
- 14:30liquidity in here at 86.
- 14:32okay so they were on the offer here
- 14:35they're on they're on the bid now and
- 14:37they transacted now we're finding
- 14:39sellers
- 14:40they're going to trade into this 85
- 14:42level here
- 14:43okay this liquidy these buyers here they
- 14:45are still supporting it here
- 14:48and then they're still supporting it
- 14:49where this is kind of kind of cool to
- 14:52see like they're supporting it here at
- 14:5485.
- 14:55the move happened down here though
- 14:58okay around 83. so you can still be
- 15:00bullish down here even this could be you
- 15:02know
- 15:04like a trap almost you can see oh they
- 15:05broke through it we're going we're going
- 15:07down
- 15:09but buyers can support it down here at
- 15:1083.
- 15:14all right now it's getting a little
- 15:15trickier to read in here
- 15:17because we're starting to find some
- 15:18sellers we also structurally we broke
- 15:20the high here this is still bullish
- 15:23structurally
- 15:25but now we can see we made this actually
- 15:27made a slightly lower low and then also
- 15:29a slightly lower low in here
- 15:33so structurally this is starting to
- 15:36you know look like maybe sellers want to
- 15:38start to take control in here
- 15:40okay we don't see them taking control
- 15:42yet
- 15:43but we're starting to note this though
- 15:49all right so
- 15:50uh
- 15:51yeah let's see how this kind of unfolds
- 15:53here um
- 15:54we you know a bunch of different
- 15:55scenarios here it's a little more
- 15:58a little bit a little bit trickier to
- 16:00read in here now
- 16:01uh the um
- 16:04we'll take a look here
- 16:06and look at some of this kind of
- 16:07structure see how the structure is kind
- 16:08of diagonal at the moment
- 16:10uh and um
- 16:12yeah now they're bidding up in here all
- 16:14right let's see if we get our buyers and
- 16:15try to break it they need to break 88
- 16:18this is where they need to break 88 on
- 16:20size
- 16:20okay if we can
- 16:22if they can do that and they're on the
- 16:24bid here they're trying
- 16:29and we need to get up here around well a
- 16:30little bit higher than 88
- 16:33and let's see if we get our buyers here
- 16:34here they come all right
- 16:36now what we want to see is buyers come
- 16:38right back up into 90 and 92.
- 16:41especially 90 right now
- 16:47so we're looking for our green dots
- 16:48above the line the book looks good see
- 16:50how they're supporting it underneath
- 16:52here see how they they stayed in the
- 16:54book here and transacted came right back
- 16:56in with high liquidity
- 16:58starting to find some buyers now
- 17:01they really need to pick it up here else
- 17:02this is going to be a false breakout
- 17:05they should they should be able to pick
- 17:07it up
- 17:08and see how they pulled up here at 90.
- 17:12and we want to see them on the book here
- 17:14maybe underneath here
- 17:15we're still finding some buyers here so
- 17:17they should be able to kind of lift this
- 17:19up into also 92.
- 17:36all right alex you want to take a look
- 17:37at apple
- 17:39yeah i've got it up we can take a look
- 17:40at it
- 17:44uh yeah i want to go i keep promising to
- 17:47go over the bigger picture here uh and
- 17:49we will we're just seeing the some kind
- 17:51of interesting stuff at the moment i
- 17:53want to cover it
- 17:56this is beautiful guys it's just working
- 17:58out quite quite nicely now look at the
- 17:59book here again and look at the reaction
- 18:01so that we should be go should get the
- 18:02move in 92
- 18:06and they come right back in again here
- 18:09yeah there we go
- 18:11all right all right now let's see if we
- 18:12can get this breakout now finally
- 18:15up into 95 and maybe the figure up here
- 18:184500.
- 18:36all right nice nice buy volume in here
- 18:39it's looking good still looking for
- 18:40higher here 95 and then i think we can
- 18:42still
- 18:43still reach up to 95 or 4 500.
- 18:49all right so this is looking good guys i
- 18:51mean still still looking for it i mean
- 18:53there's no reason
- 18:54to look for anything different yet
- 18:57at this point
- 18:58buyers are still in control
- 19:01they were it was a little bit trickier
- 19:02in here like slightly lower lows
- 19:05starting to see the sellers in here
- 19:07but then covered this scenario here of
- 19:10the breakout
- 19:12and looking for our buyers up here
- 19:14we got them and we're looking for 90
- 19:16then 92 and then 95 and it's still still
- 19:20looking pretty good uh looking for the
- 19:22target here of 4500
- 19:31okay if we get a pullback now
- 19:33for those
- 19:36in let's see a dove hero price um
- 19:41is a negative okay

- 19:57who have been in here uh for for a bit
- 20:00um
- 20:01where do you there were we covered like
- 20:03bowl flags and patterns
- 20:06where do we think that price may pull
- 20:09back to
- 20:13okay if we get a pullback here now we're
- 20:15still we're still bullish here this is
- 20:16you know pretty bullish volume in here
- 20:19and but we're also you know starting to
- 20:22see a pullback here
- 20:26all right 90 91 yeah
- 20:29yeah i i like it a lot um
- 20:34yeah uh the
- 20:36we look at a bunch of different things
- 20:38and a pullback but we're going to go
- 20:39over like you know in bigger structure
- 20:41this is where you can start to look for
- 20:43it
- 20:44uh this area in here is good because
- 20:46look at the volume that traded in here
- 20:48so we're looking for a bounce off of
- 20:50that area here
- 20:52okay in the structure
- 20:54all right so let me just draw that up a
- 20:55little bit clearer here structure is
- 20:58here
- 20:59okay this sideways consolidation
- 21:01structure it fits into 90.
- 21:03just like
- 21:08let's see was it alec knows a techie
- 21:10techie girl
- 21:11welcome techie girl i think i've seen
- 21:13you in here um and uh and then also uh
- 21:17yeah with leo yep excellent
- 21:21yeah so we'd be looking for kind of a
- 21:23bounce off of that area we'd also be
- 21:24looking for we're gonna cover uh we
- 21:27we've covered it before this is not the
- 21:28greatest example here because this is uh
- 21:31this bind doesn't really take too much
- 21:33of a break in here but there are some
- 21:35breaks in here
- 21:36we want to look at that
- 21:38and this is going to be really helpful
- 21:41for for us
- 21:42looking for low volume pullbacks into
- 21:44areas
- 21:45uh and let's let's take a look at this
- 21:47actually
- 21:48um to begin with
- 21:50does this fit the criteria to for a low
- 21:52volume pullback
- 21:54uh this here
- 21:56what do you guys feel
- 22:00okay we can go over what a low volume
- 22:02pullback is uh but
- 22:06in more detail here
- 22:11okay yeah uh
- 22:14viva soul says 88 yeah that's not bad
- 22:16either
- 22:17i like that very much down here as a
- 22:19pullback
- 22:26ago so you want to look at uh
- 22:29bitcoin all right
- 22:36yeah exactly guys this is not a
- 22:40a low volume pullback
- 22:43so you know we're reading this in here
- 22:45look at even cumulative volume delta
- 22:48we're getting some really weird readings
- 22:50in here look at the the uh the iceberg
- 22:52bind starting to really pick up though
- 22:54in here as well
- 22:57so this kind of convolutes it
- 22:59uh very much so i mean there's a lot of
- 23:01icebergs that are just transacting in
- 23:03here okay and that into this these
- 23:05sellers are hitting right into icebergs
- 23:08okay so that's going to make this way
- 23:11more complex
- 23:12as a low volume not a low volume
- 23:14pullback
- 23:15okay because there's a lot of people on
- 23:17the bid here
- 23:19getting filled okay with our icebergs so
- 23:22now that that that
- 23:23opens up the scenario for an again like
- 23:26a kind of a bull flag here
- 23:30anyway let's start with first things
- 23:33first low volume pullback let's take a
- 23:35look at this okay strong buying here
- 23:38and what we look for in a low volume
- 23:40pullback
- 23:41uh is we want to see even stronger
- 23:44buying than this and then we're just
- 23:45looking for a move back down here on low
- 23:47volume
- 23:49it just kind of buying pressure kind of
- 23:51stopped
- 23:52for the moment it takes a break so
- 23:54there's kind of there's some profit
- 23:55taking they kind of move it back down
- 23:58test some levels
- 24:00and see if there's kind of a
- 24:02real demand down there or not
- 24:04and
- 24:06then
- 24:07then we look for the the bind to resume
- 24:09again uh and then you know complete that
- 24:12that kind of
- 24:13bull uh bull flag pattern
- 24:16uh so guys uh yeah this is this is a
- 24:18really interesting one here uh due to
- 24:20that iceberg buying this is the kind of
- 24:23insight that icebergs give us
- 24:25right so i'm still looking for 90 or i'm
- 24:274500 here
- 24:29because there's a lot of selling in here
- 24:31and boy there should be a beautiful stop
- 24:33run if we can get a little bit higher
- 24:35here
- 24:36okay so that we're looking for a bull
- 24:37flag in here now too one
- 24:40sideways two uh on up and you know if we
- 24:44do a measured move it's going to be up
- 24:45here around 98 or so it's going to be a
- 24:47little shy of our our kind of overall
- 24:49target at 4 500.
- 24:54there's our stop run
- 24:56okay up there
- 24:58so not bad still looking for
- 25:00continuation
- 25:08yeah
- 25:09yeah interesting one here uh now
- 25:13why this isn't a low volume pullback
- 25:14just look at the dots and the size of
- 25:16the dots here we can even let me take
- 25:17off stops and icebergs for a moment
- 25:22and look at cumulative volume delta
- 25:25we've been looking at cumulative volume
- 25:26delta recently quite quite a bit
- 25:30to kind of add it into our market
- 25:32structure
- 25:33now we you know
- 25:35i don't lean very hard on this indicator
- 25:37at all
- 25:38i know a lot of people really like it
- 25:40and i used to love it uh and now i just
- 25:42think it's ah it's okay um
- 25:45the reason being is we can see that
- 25:47there's a ton of selling in here we
- 25:48already know that you can see it look at
- 25:50look at the dots here look at the bars
- 25:52down here
- 25:53now look at the bars and dots
- 25:55compared to this move here
- 25:59and the rest of the area in here
- 26:03so you can see that yeah the good buying
- 26:05buying starting to ramp up this looks
- 26:07good this is breaking our our little
- 26:09range here at 88 we're looking for 92
- 26:12uh and 95 here
- 26:16and then 4500
- 26:18uh and then we get a pullback and we
- 26:20didn't we just covered where it might go
- 26:22so far just to like maybe the top of the
- 26:24range here which
- 26:26it did
- 26:27um
- 26:28but look at the volume now in here
- 26:31compared to this move here
- 26:34right so you know quite quite a big big
- 26:36difference
- 26:38oh yeah you know i have a new pen tool
- 26:41um
- 26:43i can
- 26:44i can use that
- 26:48yeah
- 26:50yeah hang on hang on guys
- 27:01yeah okay good
- 27:03here we go okay um
- 27:07all right so look at this volume in here
- 27:10okay
- 27:11well in fact it should be down in here
- 27:14this whole area here
- 27:16and then look at this volume in here
- 27:22that's not a low volume pullback that's
- 27:24not what we're looking for
- 27:26okay so we'll cover it we'll cover it
- 27:27again and again don't don't worry about
- 27:30that
- 27:31but this is making it more
- 27:34we're actually looking for sellers to
- 27:35try to move it back down into the range
- 27:37at this point
- 27:38uh so we'd be looking for
- 27:41because this would be kind of a false
- 27:43breakout there's a lot of selling
- 27:45pressure in here if they can just get it
- 27:47into into this 90 level then we'd be
- 27:49looking for a move back down to here
- 27:52at 88. and i think someone in youtube
- 27:54said 88 and that's yeah we would be
- 27:56looking for that
- 27:58it would be a perfect area to test it is
- 28:00kind of a
- 28:00high volume node in here right
- 28:03likely though with this kind of selling
- 28:05in here coming in they'd trade it back
- 28:07down to 85 and then maybe that we'd get
- 28:09a reversal pattern
- 28:11maybe a move back down into
- 28:14even 82 or or you know 83 down here
- 28:18uh so
- 28:19uh you know things to consider now
- 28:22we got a lot of insight in here though
- 28:24uh due to the stops or the icebergs
- 28:26transacting in here so it kind of
- 28:28negates this
- 28:31high volume here
- 28:32on the cell side
- 28:34because there's someone else a lot of
- 28:35traders on the other side absorbing that
- 28:38it's almost like seeing that if like for
- 28:41example if you got
- 28:43um high
- 28:44uh liquidity um underneath here like
- 28:47this you know some something like that
- 28:49boy this pen tool
- 28:51i'll get used to it um i'll get there
- 28:54but um
- 28:55uh yeah looking for like high you know
- 28:58uh liquidity underneath here
- 29:01getting filled under here also coming
- 29:03back up and and getting filled under
- 29:05here uh and then looking for the the
- 29:08aggressive buyers to come in which they
- 29:10did and so we're getting our move here
- 29:13all right so
- 29:15it would be similar to that but instead
- 29:18they were tricky
- 29:20they used icebergs
- 29:22and here they are
- 29:23right here look at the look at the
- 29:25dynamic between
- 29:27the icebergs here
- 29:29and cumulative volume delta cumulative
- 29:31volume delta is dropping like a rock
- 29:32here icebergs is shooting up like a
- 29:34rocket
- 29:37a beautiful relationship here
- 29:39to to understand and see and this is
- 29:41quite a bit in here
- 29:43this is
- 29:46you know about a thousand or so icebergs
- 29:49getting filled in here
- 29:54all right so uh yeah we're still
- 29:56basically due to this we're still
- 29:58looking for higher highs
- 30:01all right it was not a low volume
- 30:02pullback though and that's where like uh
- 30:04uh you know
- 30:05just
- 30:07um
- 30:08this is one of the best setups out there
- 30:10i feel uh this low volume pullback
- 30:14okay in this case here we we
- 30:16it was not a low volume pullback but we
- 30:18had just that that extra bit in here to
- 30:21understand it differently
- 30:23right so it kind of negates it if we get
- 30:25our buyers in here it's still game on
- 30:26for the move up uh to the upside here
- 30:29basically
- 30:31all right and we're still looking for it
- 30:32look at the buyers in here
- 30:34this is a low volume pullback here look
- 30:36at this one
- 30:38okay look at high volume here
- 30:43okay
- 30:44here
- 30:45and in here
- 30:47okay and then look at
- 30:49now the low volume
- 30:52in here
- 30:53and in here
- 30:56all right so
- 30:57we're just looking for more buyers to
- 30:58start to come in they start to here
- 31:00looking for that move up
- 31:02into 4 500.
- 31:05this is a great setup guys we'll go over
- 31:07in more detail as we continue
- 31:10uh but
- 31:11uh you know this is where you get these
- 31:13um
- 31:14we're looking for a strong move we got
- 31:16it
- 31:17and
- 31:19pulls back to where
- 31:21top of the range
- 31:25typically
- 31:26we still haven't gone over it yet we
- 31:28haven't even looked at our higher time
- 31:30frame yet
- 31:32but
- 31:33typically we get a move back to this
- 31:35area here first
- 31:37okay there's structure in there
- 31:39and we we typically look for that move
- 31:41first
- 31:42and then we look for
- 31:44um
- 31:46you know the the buyers to come in and
- 31:47move it to the upside
- 31:52i like this pen tool
- 31:54um you know they could even come back
- 31:56down to here
- 31:58and you can still be bullish
- 32:01okay we just we gotta have low volume
- 32:04though there are some caveats on the low
- 32:06volume pullback if you get this move
- 32:08back down to here
- 32:11uh and then it doesn't really matter if
- 32:13it's a low volume pullback or not if we
- 32:15get big sellers underneath here
- 32:18big red dots in fact let me just switch
- 32:20it right over
- 32:22what if we get big red dots down here
- 32:25they're going to push it through
- 32:27they're going to take control this is
- 32:29all trap volume at that point and we're
- 32:31looking for the move down into
- 32:3490 here
- 32:35back down to these areas we
- 32:37you know to retest
- 32:42you guy can you guys see the pen tool
- 32:45uh uh thanks uh
- 32:48okay you guys can see it and youtube can
- 32:50you guys see it
- 32:53transitioning back and forth here
- 32:58there's our move guys 4 500 this is this
- 33:01is it now at this point here we don't
- 33:04really know
- 33:05and
- 33:06we want to we want to keep an eye out
- 33:09to what's going to happen up here
- 33:12but
- 33:13anyway going through these different
- 33:15scenarios this low volume pullback i
- 33:17think is a very high probability trade
- 33:19that you can you can take again and
- 33:21again and again all right now again this
- 33:24is not
- 33:25recommendations nor financial advice do
- 33:28your homework
- 33:30look who see who's in control in certain
- 33:32areas and looking for continuation
- 33:35looking for the book to support it on
- 33:38that pullback
- 33:39look for and we didn't get much support
- 33:42in the book here
- 33:43at all
- 33:44in fact it's dark under here
- 33:46we just didn't get sellers
- 33:48okay instead we got buyers over here
- 33:49that's when we're looking for to come
- 33:51back up to you at least
- 33:53at least i know that's a small range in
- 33:55here but at least we'd be looking for it
- 33:57let me get rid of this now
- 34:00oops
- 34:03okay we'd at least look for
- 34:10this this move down here these buyers
- 34:12come in in this tiny little structure in
- 34:13here at least to move up to here or top
- 34:16of the range okay right here where the
- 34:17sellers came in
- 34:19now i know there's not much
- 34:21of a of a move here
- 34:23just because of this very small
- 34:24structure
- 34:26it doesn't matter though it works on
- 34:27much much higher time frames
- 34:30it can work on a daily chart
- 34:33on a monthly chart it's the same ideas
- 34:35here
- 34:36okay so uh yeah we we break it quick
- 34:39move back down to the downside and then
- 34:40it comes right back up not seeing much
- 34:43yet not seeing much yet here they start
- 34:44to pick it up this is where we're
- 34:45looking for the break
- 34:474500 right in here right in here see how
- 34:50we're getting exhaustion in here
- 34:53okay we're really starting to understand
- 34:54now guys if you haven't
- 34:56seen our part one of our educational
- 34:59course it's free it's online to
- 35:02understand what's going on within this
- 35:04range and part two especially goes over
- 35:06this that that i don't know if you if
- 35:08you're a subscriber i know you'll have
- 35:10access to that but but look at the
- 35:12exhaustion on both sides here there's
- 35:14not much selling down here there's not
- 35:16much buying up here a little bit more
- 35:18buying maybe than selling but not much
- 35:21it's just kind of range bound in here
- 35:23we're looking for an edge
- 35:25and our edge comes about here
- 35:27when we start to see that buying come in
- 35:30that's what we're looking for
- 35:31we want to see them carry it higher
- 35:33and they pick it up again
- 35:35next tick next tick there's 99 trading
- 35:38we're still looking for it higher to 4
- 35:41500.
- 35:42a beautiful movement of 4500 guys now be
- 35:45careful here this is we and we got to
- 35:48push through 4500 to o2
- 35:51now we're looking to see see how we can
- 35:53get an upended here we're through this
- 35:55area here and if we get our sellers here
- 36:00okay then all of this is trapped
- 36:03so then then we're looking for at that
- 36:06point
- 36:09uh
- 36:11we're looking for our sellers below this
- 36:14big red dot
- 36:16move down
- 36:18okay this is where the trap volume is up
- 36:20here
- 36:22and we should see a stop run too
- 36:25beautiful stop runs
- 36:31okay
- 36:35so they're below it they're below it
- 36:37here are sellers now they should be able
- 36:38to hit it harder
- 36:40let's see it sellers you should be able
- 36:41to hit 97 and 96.
- 36:47okay i like 97 it's below this little
- 36:50swing here
- 37:02okay a little more on the offer not much
- 37:05a little more though
- 37:08let's see it sellers should be able to
- 37:09hit it
- 37:12and not yet
- 37:15and let's read this little micro range
- 37:17in here
- 37:18okay they're on the bid here and we're
- 37:20finding buyers instead but all they've
- 37:22done is come up and test the kind of top
- 37:24of this little this little area here
- 37:29if we get sellers back down here at
- 37:3188.50 or 98.50 we should get our move
- 37:36there they're pulling down here
- 37:38looking for our sellers
- 37:40all right sellers you got it
- 37:42let's see the move back down to 97
- 37:46should be able to do it
- 37:55see how they test it down here more
- 37:57liquidity what's the reaction well
- 37:59found a few buyers
- 38:01found a few sellers
- 38:04i think the sellers want it still let's
- 38:06see if they go for it
- 38:14exhaustion
- 38:16okay now it's negated though they
- 38:18started to buy up here
- 38:25okay kind of confusing right now
- 38:27buyers and sellers
- 38:30book looks good on the bid here they're
- 38:32kind of stacking a little bit
- 38:35let's see if they get our sellers these
- 38:36guys will probably likely just get out
- 38:38of the way immediately
- 38:46yeah they're starting to pull
- 39:00on sellers right here this is where we
- 39:01need to there they are all right they
- 39:03should be able to push it 97.
- 39:08there we go
- 39:11and let's see if they can get lower here
- 39:12i should be able to continue on 96.
- 39:17at 95 below the swing here looks pretty
- 39:20good too but you know i like really this
- 39:22one down here at 94.
- 39:33uh
- 39:45bigger picture
- 39:47liquidity down here we zoom out a little
- 39:49bit more
- 39:50we're down here at 90
- 39:53and then 85.
- 39:57okay not not quite calling for a
- 39:59reversal yet i mean uh
- 40:01uh we're still in a bull trend
- 40:04but we're starting to make lower lows
- 40:06here
- 40:12it was a very small time frame we're
- 40:13looking for in here
- 40:22it's quite fancy uh what what are you
- 40:24referring to uh uh
- 40:26bowie
- 40:32yeah we have a fed speaker now i mean
- 40:34this is this is good to
- 40:37to know steven thank you
- 40:39like a little bit of volatility back and
- 40:41forth like this is and is
- 40:43to be expected
- 40:45right
- 40:47and we'll see
- 40:49all sorts of like
- 40:50like high liquidity come in and and
- 40:52weird reactions to it etc
- 40:57as as traders react to what the what the
- 40:59speaker says
- 41:07they see how they they're up we're up
- 41:09here up just above 4 500.
- 41:12it lets these guys out of the trade
- 41:16right now
- 41:17let's see this might be you know scott's
- 41:19talked about this many times we know
- 41:21like if you get caught up here
- 41:23uh and you bought the breakout and
- 41:25you're like oh god it's going against me
- 41:27um
- 41:29if it ever comes back i'm i'm a seller
- 41:32so that's why we can get a lot of times
- 41:34these moves
- 41:35uh just like this you know kind of above
- 41:39it and below it but these guys are all
- 41:42they're out they're still they're in
- 41:43profit in fact up here
- 41:46now do we get us do we get a stop run
- 41:48down here i'm curious
- 41:51no no
- 41:52they all these buyers are still well
- 41:54there's the big stop runs here
- 41:56um but we don't really see us there's a
- 41:58little stop running here
- 42:01okay so anyone kind of selling this here
- 42:03they're getting squeezed in fact the
- 42:05stop run is to the upside
- 42:14okay same idea though either above this
- 42:17line or below this line now it happens
- 42:19to be the figure
- 42:20uh but look at the liquidity underneath
- 42:22here or above it here
- 42:27okay trading into it
- 42:36and not enough buyers to take them on
- 42:39okay do we get enough sellers here 99
- 42:46if we if we do it should be a quick move
- 42:48back down to 97 to be honest
- 42:53volume profile guys this would be your
- 42:54first area look at the profile in
- 42:56here you know somewhere around 98 maybe
- 42:59i guess
- 43:0097
- 43:10yeah okay pretty quick move that's what
- 43:13we're looking for still lower though i
- 43:15want to see 97.
- 43:17i want to see 97 and
- 43:20even 90 96 and a quarter here
- 43:29slightly higher high here
- 43:32i want to see slightly lower low or
- 43:35maybe quite a bit lower
- 43:51all right now this is fitting into the
- 43:53bigger picture
- 43:55and so let's take a moment here and go
- 43:57over that
- 43:59here's our daily chart over here we've
- 44:01talked about this many times
- 44:02the
- 44:04this
- 44:05move higher here
- 44:09last week and
- 44:11now
- 44:12and we talked yesterday about options
- 44:15up in this area here due to you know we
- 44:18had quadruple witching on friday
- 44:20and there's really i mean in essence
- 44:22there's no reason for any sort of
- 44:24pullbacks in here just looking for
- 44:26continuation and and uh
- 44:28in squeezes um
- 44:30and uh now you know for uh
- 44:33uh you uh you hero
- 44:35guys with the spot gamma product
- 44:38looking at
- 44:39the options in here we'll turn it on in
- 44:41just a minute here because this is
- 44:42exactly
- 44:45kind of what
- 44:47what i was thinking about was
- 44:49trading up to 4 500 trading above it and
- 44:52then just seeing massive options
- 44:54at this point
- 44:56and
- 44:58as
- 44:59traders kind of re-establish their
- 45:02positions
- 45:03uh for the week for the month for the
- 45:05quarter etc
- 45:08so
- 45:09uh you know we saw this beautiful
- 45:11squeeze here uh on up
- 45:14and uh now let's see if we get kind of
- 45:16new new positions here in options
- 45:23anyway i have 4 500 i marked it up in
- 45:26here we're right there
- 45:28at it as you can see these are the two
- 45:30lines that i had kind of marked up just
- 45:32this morning here
- 45:34it's at around 75
- 45:36and then this swing here
- 45:38we've broken above it and we came to 4
- 45:40500 the figure here the next one is up
- 45:43here on the daily chart it's way up here
- 45:45uh you know 73 or 75 something like that
- 45:50now what do we see here in the hourly
- 45:51chart well same ideas
- 45:53squeeze
- 45:56here's a bit of a pullback yesterday and
- 45:57then
- 45:58continuation 4 500
- 46:01there's a gap here to fill
- 46:04from today which would be around 44.50
- 46:08so we may we want to maybe take a look
- 46:10at that
- 46:11see if we can get sellers to come in
- 46:12here but look at that hourly chart
- 46:15i mean these two big candles here
- 46:17uh in fact let me let's look back period
- 46:20one week two big candles here
- 46:22so you know pretty pretty strong uh so
- 46:25far
- 46:26we'd really have to see a kind of a a
- 46:27slow down here
- 46:29god i this this chart really drives me
- 46:31nuts it's it's way up price is way up
- 46:33here okay
- 46:35um but uh
- 46:37yeah
- 46:38there should be another candle in here
- 46:40uh it's just
- 46:42refreshing in a weird way
- 46:51let's see if we can kind of refresh it
- 46:53again
- 46:55now this wants to do that okay well it's
- 46:57up here anyway
- 46:59so it's pretty strong move uh basically
- 47:02uh 15-minute chart also you can see that
- 47:05strength you can see the gap down here
- 47:07so
- 47:08around 44.50
- 47:12um by looking at the these you know all
- 47:15three of these charts basically there's
- 47:17no reason for
- 47:19it to slow down
- 47:21we don't see anything yet
- 47:25okay there's still quite a bit of
- 47:26momentum in here
- 47:30all right
- 47:30order flow wise though we're seeing
- 47:32something a little different
- 47:34the figure high liquidity filled in here
- 47:40and now slightly higher high here
- 47:43uh and kind of equal
- 47:46slightly
- 47:47higher low in here actually so we're
- 47:48kind of just you know i mean it's really
- 47:51um kind of slight so
- 47:53you know we're kind of in back and forth
- 47:55transitioning from uptrend to
- 47:57consolidation
- 47:59now let's look at the order flow within
- 48:01this this is really important
- 48:04that to go over to understand what's
- 48:07what the um
- 48:09order flow is within this market
- 48:10structure
- 48:11and this is what i mean by market
- 48:13structure
- 48:17here
- 48:18okay from high high to low here o2
- 48:22to this kind of 97 area here
- 48:26all right so let's uh
- 48:29let's take a look at it
- 48:31what's the volume in here what's the
- 48:33volume read in here what do you guys
- 48:35think
- 48:37okay within a structure
- 48:39uh
- 48:40what
- 48:41maybe you know start start to read like
- 48:47you know we see a lot of buyers over
- 48:48here okay that makes good sense
- 48:50continuation here up into high liquidity
- 49:01and then you can see the selling is
- 49:03starting to come in here
- 49:05okay yeah there's buyers back up here
- 49:07again
- 49:08but look at the selling
- 49:10look at the selling in here look at that
- 49:12cluster
- 49:13okay at the
- 49:14lows
- 49:16and that's not what we want to see if we
- 49:17want to see a continuation pattern
- 49:20we want to see low volume pullback
- 49:22this isn't it either
- 49:25okay we do see some icebergs in here
- 49:27kind of like last time but a little
- 49:28little different
- 49:30as well
- 49:31not as many
- 49:33and a lot of selling in here
- 49:37now we just made a swing up here
- 49:40to 4 500 just a little bit above it
- 49:44and we
- 49:46we don't see a lot of buying up here
- 49:50okay so see the shift in the order flow
- 49:52now look at cumulative volume delta as
- 49:54well
- 49:57this is where this is one thing i do
- 49:58like about cumulative volume delta is
- 50:00sometimes when it's harder to read and
- 50:02hear the volume which in this case it's
- 50:04not it's pretty easy it's pretty
- 50:05straightforward we're looking at these
- 50:07these swings and the volume within it
- 50:10uh and uh you know notice it here quite
- 50:13a bit of buying
- 50:14okay countered by some selling in here
- 50:17countered by a little bit of buying up
- 50:19here
- 50:20now massive um
- 50:22you know selling or a lot more selling
- 50:24down here
- 50:26okay
- 50:27a lower high
- 50:29and more selling more selling
- 50:32all right so now we're looking for
- 50:34exhaustion on the buy side
- 50:37and we don't want to see green dots up
- 50:39here we're going to see a lack of it
- 50:40which we see right now and we're looking
- 50:41for red dots here and we're looking for
- 50:43a move down to here at 90
- 50:4698 and a quarter and lower back down to
- 50:49test the low here at 97.
- 51:02now let's see if we get it
- 51:06okay again we're back up here but we
- 51:08want to see again exhaustion
- 51:10and we want to see sellers come we want
- 51:12to see them come back down to here at 99
- 51:14and we want to see selling again and
- 51:16we'll get our break all right looking
- 51:17for the break here looking for sellers
- 51:19right here we haven't gotten them yet
- 51:21but looking for them
- 51:24and then we should get our move
- 51:26look at this testing here 98 in that
- 51:28quarter here this liquidity let's see if
- 51:30the sellers go after it
- 51:33and they're not
- 51:34they're not so we didn't even we didn't
- 51:36even get
- 51:37um that scenario didn't even come close
- 51:39to unfolding
- 51:40not yet
- 51:43right so it'll keep you keep you out of
- 51:44the trade
- 51:47all right so now we're back up here we
- 51:48got a little bit of buying here
- 51:50and that that kind of allowed this
- 51:52little bit of buying up here can allow
- 51:55a re-test back up here to find more
- 51:57buyers and then a move to o1
- 52:09okay here we go
- 52:10now do we get we really need to see
- 52:12sellers down here though and we didn't
- 52:14get them again
- 52:15again here all right so we're back up
- 52:17here
- 52:18let's see if we get more buyers back up
- 52:20here
- 52:21if we do
- 52:23we should we should get to about you
- 52:24know to o1 here i think
- 52:28right so we're open to that scenario
- 52:30here we just didn't get it instead we
- 52:32got our buyers here so we're still
- 52:34looking for them to lift it to 01 maybe
- 52:36maybe higher here but just
- 52:38not much of a move but just one
- 52:41you know now i know it's a very small
- 52:43it's a one point move uh basically
- 52:46but uh
- 52:48you know we're um
- 52:50we'll go over this on higher time frames
- 52:53as well
- 52:54but even that failed
- 52:56okay now we're going to get our sellers
- 52:58here okay so now i'm looking for the
- 53:00follow through on that sell side here
- 53:03okay we got some buying up here
- 53:05but immediately
- 53:07followed by sellers here
- 53:10immediately followed by buyers back
- 53:12up okay i want to see sellers here
- 53:15though and i want to see the break okay
- 53:16here's another move back down by the
- 53:18sellers they've got it if they want it
- 53:20they can take it right here
- 53:2299 is where we want to see our sellers
- 53:25and we're look this is our third or
- 53:27fourth attempt up here
- 53:34and finding buyers up here
- 53:42and they made a lower high here and
- 53:43we're making lower lows here
- 53:46so again a scenario is sellers here and
- 53:48a drop
- 54:00nothing
- 54:04but he must be the fed fed speaker
- 54:08williams right now you must be
- 54:10you must be saying something i mean
- 54:12because this is really back and forth in
- 54:14here
- 54:15so mark is trying to kind of figure out
- 54:17what he means
- 54:18i would i would imagine i don't you guys
- 54:20tell me
- 54:21i'm not listening to it
- 54:26but this is this is typical a market
- 54:28really doesn't know how to react to
- 54:30something
- 54:31right now
- 54:33yeah and and and the figure absolutely
- 54:35uh stephen absolutely the bashing around
- 54:37this figure here
- 54:39okay looking for some sort of direction
- 54:41looking for someone to take it a
- 54:42direction here
- 54:48i kind of like i still here we go all
- 54:50right sellers you got it here let's see
- 54:52the move back down to 97 should be able
- 54:54to do it
- 54:59we should get it here
- 55:05okay they're picking it up
- 55:10they've got if we're going to get this
- 55:12move to 97 then
- 55:13then we're going to get and we get our
- 55:15sellers down here we should be able to
- 55:16break 97 as well
- 55:19we should be able to go back down to
- 55:20lower levels here okay then we'd be
- 55:22looking for 95
- 55:2493 90
- 55:27here
- 55:29okay so now
- 55:31it's starting to play out
- 55:33uh
- 55:34and
- 55:35there was this kind of back and forth in
- 55:37here we didn't know quite the read yet
- 55:40uh then we we got the read here and
- 55:42we're getting the follow-through here
- 55:44okay now you know
- 55:46i like to take some partial profits in
- 55:47these areas and now this is not a
- 55:49recommendation
- 55:50this is just you know some
- 55:52considerations for
- 55:54trade management
- 55:56stop to break even
- 55:58uh and maybe even get a low volume
- 56:00pullback uh back to 98 and a half or so
- 56:04but looking for continuation here
- 56:14okay so 95 and a half you can see some
- 56:16liquidity coming in there
- 56:30uh let's see guys guys on youtube if you
- 56:32if you want to join into the discord
- 56:33channel um you'll find it in the
- 56:36advanced dash webinar um the chats in
- 56:39there
- 56:41just uh look up our bookmap discord
- 56:45i i'm following the chat in there um
- 56:48there's we also have a stream in there
- 56:49we're streaming on both
- 56:52it's a slight slight delay on the on the
- 56:54on the youtube but we're you know we're
- 56:55looking to to you know kind of move it
- 56:57all over to youtube here just to let you
- 56:59guys know
- 57:07all right
- 57:08um
- 57:16oh guys i'm sorry
- 57:17you you were um
- 57:20asking about
- 57:22some things here in youtube we'll take a
- 57:24look at some of these stocks and um and
- 57:26bitcoin as well
- 57:29we're just seeing some good stuff and
- 57:31trying to follow through on the
- 57:32education here
- 57:33um
- 57:34and again like just because it's bitcoin
- 57:37and just because it's a stock it doesn't
- 57:39mean that this isn't going to happen
- 57:41this is exactly what's going to happen
- 57:43the same stuff
- 57:45here's our low volume pullback guys
- 57:47looking for continuation here let's see
- 57:49if those sellers they should be able to
- 57:51drop it to 93 now
- 57:56and then alan just amazed how
- 57:59the markets go up by significant amounts
- 58:01while the world is on the brink of war
- 58:10uh eric the youtube
- 58:12just go to bookmap.com youtube and it'll
- 58:14take you right there and you should see
- 58:15it streaming
- 58:18yeah this war is horrible
- 58:21is really bad
- 58:31still another low volume pullback it
- 58:33actually came back to our 98 level a
- 58:35little bit higher even
- 58:37no 98 and a half here that's kind of
- 58:39what we're looking for
- 58:41okay and then continuation here this is
- 58:43kind of a tricky move here we're looking
- 58:45for it here
- 58:46and but the pullback
- 58:48let's cover this uh now this is a good
- 58:50time to cover this i think
- 58:53this is a tricky variation of it
- 58:56but this is what we were looking for was
- 58:58a pullback to this cluster here
- 59:02okay it's pretty pretty good um uh not
- 59:04not bad to take a look at here uh so you
- 59:07know we saw that we started to see we're
- 59:09trying to read in here back and forth
- 59:11and back and forth we're looking for our
- 59:12sellers looking for our sellers
- 59:14finally we started to see them in here
- 59:16and looking for the drop
- 59:18the um look at the cluster in here
- 59:20though
- 59:21okay and and there's a little bit of
- 59:22structure in here as well that you know
- 59:24we kind of went went down kind of
- 59:26sideways and then boom they drop it here
- 59:28that's where we're looking for a
- 59:30pullback to come to
- 59:32you know or or you know even maybe a
- 59:35little bit higher they may even test
- 59:36kind of the top of it
- 59:38but right around here is where we're
- 59:40looking for that's 98 and a quarter
- 59:45and
- 59:46we got this original pullback here to 97
- 59:50and a half now
- 59:51there is something in here 97 and a half
- 59:53there's some kind of transactions in
- 59:55here and then another drop so that makes
- 59:58some sense here
- 59:59you know in in in that cluster here but
- 1:00:02this one's better
- 1:00:03uh you know up and up in here
- 1:00:07so
- 1:00:09we come back down
- 1:00:10uh looking for continuation in here we
- 1:00:13just didn't
- 1:00:14you know get enough sellers in here we
- 1:00:15get one more you know quick move back up
- 1:00:18to 98 and a half
- 1:00:20and then the move back down and we
- 1:00:22should get the continuation now
- 1:00:24okay so that's our low volume pullback
- 1:00:26in here
- 1:00:27that's tricky because like you think
- 1:00:28okay well i'm going to buy the volt the
- 1:00:30i'm going to sell the low volume pull
- 1:00:31back in here
- 1:00:33and then it's like yikes you know you
- 1:00:34get the spike and it does what you
- 1:00:36originally thought it was going to do
- 1:00:37anyway
- 1:00:39and then the continuation
- 1:00:41so you know be aware of these things a
- 1:00:43lot of times they'll you know you'll see
- 1:00:45the market test
- 1:00:47even and kind of you know test up even
- 1:00:49to here like 90 99 and a half hey we
- 1:00:53like the 98 and a half here it you know
- 1:00:55could have tested up here and failed
- 1:00:58and then come back down and then the
- 1:00:59follow through
- 1:01:01okay so it did the 98 and a half and
- 1:01:03then fell
- 1:01:04uh fell through here to our
- 1:01:07almost to 91 here no it looks like 91
- 1:01:10did transact
- 1:01:16all right so yeah i did not test a 90
- 1:01:18here but we can still get that move
- 1:01:25i see where it retested here
- 1:01:28and where buyers came in and kind of
- 1:01:29moved this higher
- 1:01:31this was that big cluster here where we
- 1:01:34we were
- 1:01:35mentioning that this is not a low volume
- 1:01:37pullback
- 1:01:39okay so there's a lot of sellers down
- 1:01:41here
- 1:01:42and there's a lot of sellers here too
- 1:01:45so
- 1:01:46let's see if we can get back down here
- 1:01:48to this 91 and a half or 91 and three
- 1:01:51quarters and then the continuation
- 1:01:55okay that could be a nice move here
- 1:01:58not just to 90 i mean we'd be looking
- 1:02:00for a much bigger move at that point
- 1:02:03okay 85.
- 1:02:0773 or 4 down here
- 1:02:09that's a that's a nice area
- 1:02:11you see we're lining it up with
- 1:02:13liquidity as well
- 1:02:18yeah russian stock market's been closed
- 1:02:19for three weeks
- 1:02:22has anyone been trading the uh
- 1:02:25ruble
- 1:02:27i it's just got to be a disaster
- 1:02:39less than a penny are you kidding me is
- 1:02:41it really
- 1:02:45wow
- 1:02:46that's incredible
- 1:02:52well i guess it still exists
- 1:02:58yeah there's some really odd things that
- 1:03:00have happened like like that like seeing
- 1:03:03oil be negative thirty dollars a barrel
- 1:03:05or whatever it was
- 1:03:13all right guys this is still even
- 1:03:15even this here is a low volume pullback
- 1:03:17here's what we're looking at
- 1:03:19for our low volume pullback
- 1:03:23um
- 1:03:24look at the volume
- 1:03:27in here
- 1:03:28look at this pullback here
- 1:03:30look at cvd as well cvd does a great job
- 1:03:33on low volume pullbacks
- 1:03:35great job
- 1:03:36that's another another thing i like
- 1:03:38about it here so we've tested back up to
- 1:03:40here even a little bit higher than where
- 1:03:42it dropped this is where we're looking
- 1:03:43for first is this area here 95 and a
- 1:03:45half but it came up a little bit higher
- 1:03:49okay so we're looking for sellers right
- 1:03:50here right now and for them to drop it
- 1:03:53back down
- 1:03:54first move would be to this cluster here
- 1:03:57and then the move down to 90 basically
- 1:04:08so here they come
- 1:04:10now just looking for continuation here
- 1:04:15okay now
- 1:04:16it's not going to be so easy it never is
- 1:04:20and
- 1:04:21this is where you know we have to
- 1:04:24assess the risk
- 1:04:26uh
- 1:04:27and manage uh the stops manage the money
- 1:04:31uh and uh
- 1:04:33and stick with your your uh your trading
- 1:04:35plan okay whatever it might be
- 1:04:41okay so for example you know
- 1:04:43this this is doing what we are looking
- 1:04:45for
- 1:04:46uh where would your stop be well
- 1:04:48you know it depends on the amount of
- 1:04:49risk that you want to take
- 1:04:51uh in fact if you got in here and it
- 1:04:53it's not doing what you want
- 1:04:56maybe you just got out immediately and
- 1:04:57take a small loss and look for it to
- 1:04:59start again
- 1:05:04this is how j traders trades in a lot of
- 1:05:07a lot of cases and i i like it very much
- 1:05:10it's like you're looking for this to
- 1:05:11move now if it doesn't something's wrong
- 1:05:14get out get in again
- 1:05:16okay we're looking for it to move again
- 1:05:19okay so
- 1:05:20we need to see sellers here
- 1:05:22and then you know look look to get in
- 1:05:24back again
- 1:05:27and there's not sellers down here not
- 1:05:29much that's where we need to see them
- 1:05:31down here
- 1:05:34okay another another way to do this
- 1:05:36would be uh you know you look at your uh
- 1:05:39um
- 1:05:41say let's suppose you got in here okay
- 1:05:43well yeah your stop is gonna be probably
- 1:05:45you can put it above the swing
- 1:05:48or you can put above this swing here
- 1:05:50okay now you now you're putting on a lot
- 1:05:52more risk
- 1:05:58now this is a little
- 1:06:00you know we're still looking for that
- 1:06:01low volume pullback
- 1:06:03however it's a little more convoluted
- 1:06:05here because we got some other things
- 1:06:07going on here
- 1:06:08in terms of structure
- 1:06:10we have this
- 1:06:11we also have this
- 1:06:15and this is starting to build here as
- 1:06:17you can see
- 1:06:20so low volume pullbacks are kind of an
- 1:06:22end of a a move you know is is a little
- 1:06:25bit
- 1:06:26it's not end of a move either but like
- 1:06:28you know we see
- 1:06:32we see them starting to come in back
- 1:06:33above the some of the structure here
- 1:06:56[Music]
- 1:06:59all right so
- 1:07:03buyers up here
- 1:07:06not a whole lot
- 1:07:08let's go through another scenario here
- 1:07:10again sell side scenario
- 1:07:17there sellers all right so some more
- 1:07:19here
- 1:07:22okay here's really where we want to see
- 1:07:23him actually below this area here
- 1:07:27and take control of the move
- 1:07:29back down to this liquidity and then
- 1:07:31this liquidity and then back down to 90.
- 1:07:38okay so nothing nothing shaken yet
- 1:07:57all right one more point here and then
- 1:07:58we're going to go and look at bitcoin
- 1:08:00and apple here it's getting a little
- 1:08:02again more kind of
- 1:08:04difficult to read in here
- 1:08:07at the moment
- 1:08:09uh but what we wanna and we're looking
- 1:08:11for low volume pullbacks uh in areas and
- 1:08:14but what we're looking for
- 1:08:16um is this strong consistent selling
- 1:08:21and then pullbacks that are on a lot
- 1:08:23less volume
- 1:08:26i think this is perfect here okay but
- 1:08:28they broke above it
- 1:08:30and then it broke below it
- 1:08:32here
- 1:08:33so the line is actually right here this
- 1:08:35is where it gets it gets a little more
- 1:08:37tricky but you can see it very clearly
- 1:08:39though
- 1:08:41the strong selling and consistent
- 1:08:43selling below it
- 1:08:45pull back
- 1:08:46okay a lot less volume in here
- 1:08:48they they lift it higher though
- 1:08:51and then sellers they they take it above
- 1:08:53a back up above this line 95 and a half
- 1:08:56but then also down back below it
- 1:08:58and then now it's just really a mess
- 1:09:01in here
- 1:09:03so
- 1:09:04you know we're trying to get some
- 1:09:05insight here
- 1:09:07uh and uh not getting a whole lot right
- 1:09:09now
- 1:09:10in fact the the book
- 1:09:12and volume is looks looks like it wants
- 1:09:13to go right back to the figure here is
- 1:09:15what it looks like here
- 1:09:16okay see the book underneath here and
- 1:09:18the reaction to that order book is
- 1:09:20buyers
- 1:09:21so back to 4 500.
- 1:09:27there there we go
- 1:09:31so yeah
- 1:09:32anyway that's uh
- 1:09:35you know we can we can even still see it
- 1:09:37like if we get uh we get enough sellers
- 1:09:39to come back in here that uh you know
- 1:09:41it's some pretty good buying so far
- 1:09:43um well let's uh even even cumulative
- 1:09:45volume delta in this whole range in here
- 1:09:48right is uh it's still
- 1:09:50uh there's still quite a few more
- 1:09:52sellers in here
- 1:09:55okay from this this point onward no
- 1:09:58question about it
- 1:10:02uh now one of the one of the caveats
- 1:10:04here
- 1:10:05in uh
- 1:10:07low volume pullbacks or just
- 1:10:09understanding uh this this structure
- 1:10:12well it's the volume within the
- 1:10:14structure
- 1:10:15like a lot of selling in here
- 1:10:18okay but they're down here
- 1:10:20for this low volume pullback to work
- 1:10:23you know we're looking actually for the
- 1:10:24first pullback to be back to some of
- 1:10:26these clusters
- 1:10:27uh in these areas first one would
- 1:10:29probably be right around here maybe the
- 1:10:31second one up here
- 1:10:32some something like that you know you
- 1:10:34can see this kind of little jag kind of
- 1:10:36cluster another move to the downside
- 1:10:38kind of jags back up another move to the
- 1:10:41downside so you know makes sense and
- 1:10:43then we're looking for continuation
- 1:10:46uh
- 1:10:46but
- 1:10:48we want to see like
- 1:10:49that strong volume in a small or like a
- 1:10:52shallow pullback
- 1:10:54uh not not continuation um
- 1:10:57or i'm sorry um
- 1:11:01it can come back all the way up to where
- 1:11:03it initiated still on low volume as long
- 1:11:05as you get the selling on the other side
- 1:11:08to take it through
- 1:11:10that's fine but it retraced all the way
- 1:11:12back up here
- 1:11:14okay if it's a decisive move it
- 1:11:16shouldn't retrace all the way back up
- 1:11:17there
- 1:11:20so yeah that's a couple of things to
- 1:11:22look for uh like a higher probability
- 1:11:25low volume pullback you have to do your
- 1:11:27own studies
- 1:11:28uh and and really you know get into some
- 1:11:31of the nuances here in here for your
- 1:11:33trading plan
- 1:11:34uh but uh
- 1:11:36you know to start to see these things
- 1:11:37and go study them
- 1:11:39look it up
- 1:11:41you'll see like this is a strong move
- 1:11:44and then this
- 1:11:45the pullbacks retraces all the way
- 1:11:49it would be better to see it
- 1:11:51a retracement about
- 1:11:53halfway or back to where it kind of you
- 1:11:55know we see these clusters and then
- 1:11:57continuation
- 1:12:00all right so uh
- 1:12:02anyway and
- 1:12:03keep an eye out for those things on your
- 1:12:05low volume pullbacks
- 1:12:07okay and in here we we covered it as
- 1:12:09well like okay great all right we're
- 1:12:11back we're back down below you know we
- 1:12:13retrace all the way back up to here but
- 1:12:15we see strong selling coming in again
- 1:12:17i'm looking for the follow through this
- 1:12:19failed
- 1:12:20this failed it's a weird failure too
- 1:12:23uh you know i still look at this and i i
- 1:12:26can't i don't quite get it
- 1:12:28uh why there was no continuation here
- 1:12:31um
- 1:12:32you know if the sellers really have
- 1:12:33control here
- 1:12:35but we we see them move into this high
- 1:12:37liquidity in here and they just kind of
- 1:12:38dry up
- 1:12:40uh and then we start to see buyers
- 1:12:41nibble away nibble away sellers come in
- 1:12:43again
- 1:12:44they they make a
- 1:12:46a lower
- 1:12:47sorry a higher low they can't get back
- 1:12:49down here
- 1:12:50and then we start to see buyers in here
- 1:12:52they're going to push it back up to the
- 1:12:53top tops of these ranges here
- 1:12:57okay and this one this one too is a nice
- 1:12:59one
- 1:13:00so
- 1:13:03okay now we're starting to see a little
- 1:13:04different
- 1:13:05okay now we we're looking at 4 500 the
- 1:13:09figure here
- 1:13:10but i'm also i'm looking really
- 1:13:12keen keenly at this area here at 98 and
- 1:13:15a half
- 1:13:17let's clear our drawings
- 1:13:19and let's take a look here
- 1:13:22right here
- 1:13:26okay buyers back up above it sellers
- 1:13:29back down below it
- 1:13:33so we'll come back let's we'll come back
- 1:13:35and revisit this in a second and we'll
- 1:13:36go over some uh
- 1:13:38um
- 1:13:39some other uh instruments here
- 1:13:43no we're not live we're in zoom we're
- 1:13:45we're on um
- 1:13:47uh
- 1:13:49in discord the the thing is with discord
- 1:13:51is um
- 1:13:52uh it's um
- 1:13:56um
- 1:13:57you know you can only stream 50 50
- 1:13:59people at a time
- 1:14:03so that doesn't help
- 1:14:09it's not bad but you know boy and we're
- 1:14:12you know reaching limitations in there
- 1:14:14um all right so let's let's take a look
- 1:14:16here bitcoin now we've you know i've got
- 1:14:18kind of an interesting uh product here
- 1:14:19called multibook in here
- 1:14:21uh this is looking we're looking at
- 1:14:23bitcoin usd here it's the spot uh and
- 1:14:26it's it's actually our own data source
- 1:14:29uh mmb stands for multibook
- 1:14:32and bmd is uh bookmap data
- 1:14:35and why is this kind of unique or
- 1:14:37special is because
- 1:14:39what we're looking at here is five
- 1:14:40different exchanges
- 1:14:41within within this one instrument
- 1:14:44okay
- 1:14:45five different order books and and
- 1:14:48transactions
- 1:14:49uh and they're up here in the top uh
- 1:14:51right left hand corner
- 1:14:53uh it is from bitstamp bitfinex coinbase
- 1:14:56pro f t x and kraken
- 1:15:01okay
- 1:15:02where do you guys i'm going to point
- 1:15:05where do you guys think
- 1:15:09someone took control of this market
- 1:15:11okay who took control and where
- 1:15:29what do you guys think
- 1:15:32okay yeah david thank you i missed that
- 1:15:34your vpoc
- 1:15:35shift yep excellent up to 84.89
- 1:15:40to 97 and three quarters all right
- 1:15:42excellent
- 1:15:49yep
- 1:15:50good stuff
- 1:15:52and you took a short
- 1:15:55on the v lap uh v paca rejection
- 1:15:57excellent excellent
- 1:16:00great trading david boy you've
- 1:16:04you've learned a lot um and now you're
- 1:16:06close you're out great
- 1:16:09way to go love it
- 1:16:19yeah just just love love you you came in
- 1:16:21here i came into tom's room uh guys tom
- 1:16:25will start up
- 1:16:26in probably about uh i don't know a half
- 1:16:28hour or so uh he goes in the af in the
- 1:16:31afternoon
- 1:16:32uh and he'll be doing the same thing
- 1:16:34okay but he's a a volume profile trader
- 1:16:37uh so look at the order flow within
- 1:16:39volume profile
- 1:16:42uh and uh so anyway back to the big
- 1:16:45question here uh where where did uh who
- 1:16:48took control here uh and where
- 1:16:51and uh yep yep you guys got it um 41 200
- 1:16:56or actually um
- 1:16:58this is the answer i'm looking for was
- 1:17:00it i know it's kind of hard to see uh
- 1:17:03i i actually yeah i think you got a good
- 1:17:04point there um the breakout is here
- 1:17:07let's just zoom in here a little bit get
- 1:17:09get a little more insight
- 1:17:12yeah this is this is clear um
- 1:17:15so
- 1:17:16yeah 200 is perfect
- 1:17:18you know right there boom look at look
- 1:17:21at that consistent strong bind
- 1:17:24moving it away
- 1:17:26from from what
- 1:17:29okay what's the answer on that one what
- 1:17:31are they moving it away from
- 1:17:35on that strong strong volume
- 1:17:54high volume node is is yeah yeah that's
- 1:17:57that's pretty good
- 1:17:59um but it's not really high volume node
- 1:18:02what does that mean
- 1:18:08consolidation that's what that's what
- 1:18:10i'm looking for and and basically what i
- 1:18:13mean here is like
- 1:18:15you know
- 1:18:16let's just simplify this example
- 1:18:20uh and let's let's take the heat map
- 1:18:22down we got this nice dimmings feature
- 1:18:24on
- 1:18:24on bookmap 7.3
- 1:18:28and let's take a look here
- 1:18:31this is back and forth in here
- 1:18:36and this is
- 1:18:38price is
- 1:18:41kind of established its value its range
- 1:18:46okay and then look at look at cumulative
- 1:18:48volume delta in that area here too
- 1:18:50now we're going to get a blown out
- 1:18:52reading here so actually let's just zoom
- 1:18:54into exactly this area here before the
- 1:18:56big breakout
- 1:18:58okay so
- 1:18:59um
- 1:19:01you know within this range
- 1:19:03you know even cumulative volume delta is
- 1:19:05pretty neutral except for right here
- 1:19:10uh and lots of selling came in and it
- 1:19:12was not able to even like budge the
- 1:19:15market lower
- 1:19:16there's a lot of diversions right there
- 1:19:19there's going to be there's got to be
- 1:19:20huge liquidity there
- 1:19:22if there's not huge liquidity there then
- 1:19:24what do you guys think this is i'm
- 1:19:26answering asking a lot of questions in
- 1:19:27here
- 1:19:28um
- 1:19:30look at the selling in
- 1:19:34here so and if there's not a whole lot
- 1:19:37of liquidity in here
- 1:19:44actually there there is um
- 1:19:47enough yeah yeah there is
- 1:19:50this is this is this is where it's
- 1:19:51sneaky i mean like uh look at this i'll
- 1:19:54go in here work it
- 1:19:56so i i was looking for that um uh very
- 1:19:59much i was looking for iceberg as being
- 1:20:01the answer uh
- 1:20:02i'm so bad uh but um
- 1:20:05uh
- 1:20:06in fact if we zoom in here we're getting
- 1:20:07our answer it's high liquidity and this
- 1:20:10and algo and they're they're staying in
- 1:20:11the order book and they're getting
- 1:20:12filled here they want to be filled here
- 1:20:15all the way through here they're they're
- 1:20:16even kind of chasing and getting filled
- 1:20:19all the way up okay so look at this
- 1:20:22divergence
- 1:20:23q a volume delta
- 1:20:25move to the upside
- 1:20:27selling coming in hitting the bid hard
- 1:20:30in these areas here but who's on the bid
- 1:20:32absorbing is some big buyer
- 1:20:35and you get this dynamic in here
- 1:20:39so
- 1:20:40how can selling make the market go up
- 1:20:42well someone's on the bid here
- 1:20:45taking all the selling and then it just
- 1:20:46takes a little bit of selling this is
- 1:20:48almost like a low volume pullback in
- 1:20:50essence
- 1:20:51um each time but it it you know i mean
- 1:20:53it's the same kind of in concept the
- 1:20:55structure is totally different though
- 1:20:59but uh this is where i mean we can
- 1:21:01understand the other side of the uh of
- 1:21:04the trade
- 1:21:06okay there's gonna be a lot of people
- 1:21:08trading crypto they're just not gonna
- 1:21:10understand like what is going on in
- 1:21:12here
- 1:21:14and we zoom in here we can really see
- 1:21:16all right so anyway let me
- 1:21:18you know keep digressing here
- 1:21:20uh the the point
- 1:21:22to get go over here
- 1:21:24is and this is a really important point
- 1:21:28is back and forth in here in this market
- 1:21:32except for you know that area of that
- 1:21:34selling
- 1:21:37and
- 1:21:38the amount of volume to move it away
- 1:21:40from that area and establish a new value
- 1:21:43area
- 1:21:45okay because back in here is just it's
- 1:21:47really it's
- 1:21:49the value is rather
- 1:21:50neutral
- 1:21:53right this is what it takes to
- 1:21:55reevaluate
- 1:21:56and you'll see it just just about every
- 1:21:59time
- 1:22:00it has to be
- 1:22:02um so
- 1:22:04look for these moves and then you know
- 1:22:06look for
- 1:22:07strong consistent
- 1:22:09buying
- 1:22:10you can buy the breakout there's these
- 1:22:12are things to consider it's not trade
- 1:22:14recommendations or trading plan
- 1:22:17recommendations is considerations but
- 1:22:19think about it
- 1:22:21even even this one here we just talked
- 1:22:22about pullbacks
- 1:22:24and
- 1:22:25shallow pullbacks and deep pullbacks
- 1:22:28this is a really deep pullback on this
- 1:22:30it almost comes all the way back down to
- 1:22:32where it broke out from
- 1:22:33at 200.
- 1:22:37okay uh and
- 1:22:39let's take a look at some of these
- 1:22:40pullbacks in fact this pull back here
- 1:22:42came to
- 1:22:44you know basically this little area here
- 1:22:46or just below the swing here
- 1:22:48usually we see the pullback into here
- 1:22:51and then we see a bounce
- 1:22:53or into here and then we see a bounce or
- 1:22:55into here
- 1:22:56and so what did we get we got to pull
- 1:22:58back to to this little kind of this area
- 1:23:01here basically 400
- 1:23:04okay and then and then it went a little
- 1:23:06bit lower
- 1:23:07and then it and then it bounced out of
- 1:23:09out of that area here look at that low
- 1:23:11volume pullback my god
- 1:23:13guys this is a great example it can't
- 1:23:15get much better
- 1:23:18look at the volume in general on the way
- 1:23:20down here
- 1:23:22look at your cumulative volume delta
- 1:23:27okay so where to look for these things
- 1:23:29on the pullback well this is also for
- 1:23:32study
- 1:23:33if you want to get in just jump in in
- 1:23:35some of these areas here
- 1:23:38at your if if price can come back down
- 1:23:40in here you can start to place your
- 1:23:42limit orders in some of these areas
- 1:23:43maybe even in here
- 1:23:45but
- 1:23:46you know
- 1:23:47you can also look at some of the
- 1:23:48structure on the pullback to consider
- 1:23:52okay so like here or you know even
- 1:23:55ranges like up here if you get buyers
- 1:23:57back up above here at
- 1:23:5841 500 if we get buyers here should come
- 1:24:02right back up and and test uh these
- 1:24:04highs at least to here
- 1:24:07okay or where the sellers kind of
- 1:24:09initiated which is kind of here it's
- 1:24:11really odd price action um but yeah so
- 1:24:15that's where the first pullback came or
- 1:24:17the first move came to
- 1:24:19was right here right we were just
- 1:24:20talking about
- 1:24:22uh and then we see more buying all right
- 1:24:25now we can get another pullback into
- 1:24:28some of these shallow shallow areas
- 1:24:29would be here this would be your first
- 1:24:31one which it did
- 1:24:32right here
- 1:24:34okay it could also come to here
- 1:24:36bid looks great right
- 1:24:38look at this um i'll go in here a couple
- 1:24:41algos in here
- 1:24:42and then also this uh trader in here
- 1:24:45lifts
- 1:24:46pulls lifts
- 1:24:49okay and we get buyers
- 1:24:51and we get more and more buying here
- 1:24:53they're lifting it back up to here and
- 1:24:54they break out even from this area here
- 1:24:57all right so this is all bullish
- 1:25:02and look at the selling in here my god
- 1:25:06guys in fact these kinds of moves here
- 1:25:09let's just let's just take a look at
- 1:25:11bitcoin here
- 1:25:13these kinds of moves like this
- 1:25:15they they can be much much higher time
- 1:25:17frame
- 1:25:19uh we we can look you know in bitcoin
- 1:25:21like i've seen some things in bitcoin
- 1:25:23like god i should have been trading it
- 1:25:24it just it just makes me
- 1:25:28upset
- 1:25:29uh
- 1:25:31when we came out with this tool with
- 1:25:33cumulative
- 1:25:34not cumulative volume delta
- 1:25:36but you could also use cumulative volume
- 1:25:38delta we came up with these some of
- 1:25:39these tools in here uh in
- 1:25:43with the
- 1:25:44volume profiles
- 1:25:46okay and the the one we had was this
- 1:25:49delta this was new in here putting in
- 1:25:51delta
- 1:25:53all right so that's one another one was
- 1:25:55that these these volume bars down here
- 1:25:58let me let me show you this so i'm going
- 1:26:00to click on that go to volume bar right
- 1:26:02click on it go to volume bar settings
- 1:26:03here uh and then here volume delta so
- 1:26:07this is by minus sell okay if i put in
- 1:26:09total volume you're going to see in the
- 1:26:11bars here there's always sellers on the
- 1:26:13bottom and then buyers are added on top
- 1:26:16okay so it's not just everything's
- 1:26:18buying in here they're selling in here
- 1:26:20and there it and then added on top of
- 1:26:22that is buying all right so
- 1:26:25um there was this many buyers here there
- 1:26:27were this many sellers here
- 1:26:29and let me use the pen tool on that
- 1:26:32there were and we use yellow
- 1:26:34there were this many buyers in here
- 1:26:37okay and there were this many sellers in
- 1:26:39here
- 1:26:40all right so it's one on top of the
- 1:26:42other
- 1:26:43and then
- 1:26:46the
- 1:26:50the delta though
- 1:26:54is clearly showing by minus cell is
- 1:26:57clearly showing buyers in control
- 1:27:00there were times
- 1:27:02a few years ago before it it was still
- 1:27:04trading it traded back up to like 10 000
- 1:27:07and above
- 1:27:08and there were days i mean days after
- 1:27:11days
- 1:27:12where
- 1:27:13you know i'd zoom out and and look at
- 1:27:14bitcoin
- 1:27:16and i couldn't believe it i it was
- 1:27:18nothing but
- 1:27:19um
- 1:27:20the volume delta on the bars here
- 1:27:23was nothing but but green
- 1:27:25even though even as price was going down
- 1:27:27it was nothing but green
- 1:27:29we were talking about a massive massive
- 1:27:32accumulation
- 1:27:34and a massive move to the upside that's
- 1:27:36where it went up to 60 grand
- 1:27:40so
- 1:27:41look for some of these things
- 1:27:43in here
- 1:27:45look for that kind of accumulation
- 1:27:48you'll see it
- 1:27:49i've never seen anything like it
- 1:27:51before i haven't seen it in futures nor
- 1:27:54stocks
- 1:27:55like that
- 1:27:58but
- 1:27:59yeah it's it's something really to to
- 1:28:01look at um in bitcoin if you see it uh
- 1:28:04and uh i don't know if we'll see that
- 1:28:06that again uh but uh it was a phenomena
- 1:28:09that led to just unbelievable moves
- 1:28:12this could also lead to a bigger higher
- 1:28:14time frame move now we need we need some
- 1:28:16[Music]
- 1:28:19context in here so hold on a minute here
- 1:28:22and let me go to
- 1:28:24r
- 1:28:28uh web version here
- 1:28:37and let's take a look
- 1:28:39still we're using the multi-book product
- 1:28:41up here okay so five different exchanges
- 1:28:45and let's take a look here we'll look at
- 1:28:46one month of data in here
- 1:28:51okay and then
- 1:28:52maybe that's a little too much
- 1:28:55um
- 1:28:57yeah yeah let let's try uh
- 1:29:01let's try a week
- 1:29:06okay
- 1:29:07so this is
- 1:29:10this is our move right
- 1:29:12boy is it
- 1:29:14march 21 and the move up
- 1:29:18and
- 1:29:20march 21 and move up yeah this is our
- 1:29:21move here
- 1:29:2341
- 1:29:24200
- 1:29:26let's go back
- 1:29:2841 200.
- 1:29:30all right this is a week's worth of data
- 1:29:31here this is an important move
- 1:29:34right you can you can see these
- 1:29:35important moves like this
- 1:29:39so
- 1:29:40anyway look for them look for
- 1:29:42consolidations and look for that big
- 1:29:44volume moving it away from that
- 1:29:45consolidation period
- 1:29:48right
- 1:29:49it's it's really really good stuff it's
- 1:29:50all it's all in the order flow you'll
- 1:29:52see it again and again
- 1:29:55all right so uh yeah you're still
- 1:29:57bullish on this uh this instrument
- 1:29:59uh let's take a quick look over at apple
- 1:30:02and we're kind of at the i'm getting
- 1:30:03near the end of our session here but
- 1:30:05we'll cover some more here for sure
- 1:30:07and take another look at that s p
- 1:30:09i want to see what's what's going on
- 1:30:11there what happened uh apple same ideas
- 1:30:13guys uh you know here you can see the um
- 1:30:17and i'll get to your questions as well
- 1:30:18so hang in there
- 1:30:21bullish move
- 1:30:22cash open
- 1:30:24move to the upside look at the pullback
- 1:30:26again
- 1:30:26okay where it kind of broke out from
- 1:30:28here at 9 30.
- 1:30:33guys structure and volume
- 1:30:36move back down
- 1:30:38okay now it's not
- 1:30:39it's a little more convoluted in stocks
- 1:30:41because that open there's a lot of
- 1:30:43volume so let's get that out of the
- 1:30:44picture and look at this volume in here
- 1:30:48yeah move to the upside
- 1:30:51uh pull back
- 1:30:53okay buyers back up above into this area
- 1:30:56here great looking for move to the top
- 1:31:00or where they dropped it here they're
- 1:31:01and they're just going to continue and
- 1:31:03they're going to go into that uh that
- 1:31:04liquidity here
- 1:31:06uh at uh 167
- 1:31:09would anticipate a bit of a pullback
- 1:31:11okay love to see it break out come back
- 1:31:13retest it and then break out to 168.
- 1:31:16okay now we also have the top of the
- 1:31:19range here looking for maybe a pullback
- 1:31:21to that
- 1:31:22or pull back to this here but is this
- 1:31:25any different than what we just looked
- 1:31:27at in
- 1:31:28bitcoin a little bit different in here a
- 1:31:31little bit there's some selling in here
- 1:31:34but it's not bad it's pretty consistent
- 1:31:36and good buying so we'd be looking for a
- 1:31:39continuation
- 1:31:43all right so beautiful continuation all
- 1:31:45the way up into this liquidy here at 168
- 1:31:48and looking for 169. okay that's already
- 1:31:51transacted and
- 1:31:53yeah bit of a pullback now you can also
- 1:31:55look at and start to gauge this
- 1:31:58instrument now
- 1:32:00too
- 1:32:01look at these look at these strong moves
- 1:32:03with strong volume shallow pullback
- 1:32:05strong move
- 1:32:07shallow pullback strong move
- 1:32:11what what's going on up here now
- 1:32:17what do you guys what do you guys feel
- 1:32:18about what's going on up here
- 1:32:30i'm so bad let's see when price so when
- 1:32:32price is moving down while the delta is
- 1:32:36volume
- 1:32:38is green might mean accumulation
- 1:32:40consolidation
- 1:32:41um
- 1:32:42well yeah i mean they're definitely it
- 1:32:44means that someone's on on the other
- 1:32:46side of the trade
- 1:32:48and that's that's classic uh divergence
- 1:32:51in uh in cumulative volume delta
- 1:32:54fine pretty pretty classic
- 1:32:58like if we popped in cumulative volume
- 1:33:00delta up here you know you're going to
- 1:33:02see
- 1:33:03well let's just do it
- 1:33:06that's hero we don't want that
- 1:33:08for the moment we want to look at
- 1:33:09cumulative volume delta
- 1:33:13yeah i mean you're going to see like you
- 1:33:16know
- 1:33:16cumulative volume delta drop here
- 1:33:21and um
- 1:33:22because they're selling uh well god they
- 1:33:25should be buying in here what the heck
- 1:33:26what's going on here
- 1:33:31okay yeah all right
- 1:33:33all right they're selling after right
- 1:33:35after that that liquidity trades
- 1:33:40it's interesting kind of move there
- 1:33:51so anyway even with this breakout here
- 1:33:54we're seeing more selling coming in
- 1:34:03okay here's a higher high
- 1:34:05and look at cumulative volume delta are
- 1:34:07there new buyers in here what do you
- 1:34:08guys feel
- 1:34:13i'm sorry not new buyers is there a lot
- 1:34:15of buyers up here at a higher high
- 1:34:19exactly
- 1:34:20no
- 1:34:23right now let's take a look at how this
- 1:34:25is breaking out and look at the order
- 1:34:26flow within it too
- 1:34:28okay we're looking for a complete like
- 1:34:30kind of like bitcoin strong moves strong
- 1:34:32volume
- 1:34:34okay now we're starting to see quite a
- 1:34:35bit of selling
- 1:34:37quite a bit of selling up here this is
- 1:34:38you know odd um and then selling up here
- 1:34:43and we're not getting strong volume and
- 1:34:45we're not getting strong breakouts now
- 1:34:47either
- 1:34:49in fact you can look at
- 1:34:53like here's our strong move strong move
- 1:34:56okay now look at the slope starting to
- 1:34:59change
- 1:35:01slope starting to change
- 1:35:03you know you can even see the kind of
- 1:35:04bigger picture how this is going like
- 1:35:06this
- 1:35:08kind of rounded
- 1:35:12right so we're not calling for a
- 1:35:14reversal but we're certainly noticing it
- 1:35:17though
- 1:35:17and you can start to trade it maybe back
- 1:35:19down to areas of this liquidity here or
- 1:35:21maybe down to this liquidity here
- 1:35:24start to look for it to maybe test those
- 1:35:26areas and looking for sellers on the
- 1:35:29other side here
- 1:35:31to drive it down to those areas and test
- 1:35:33it
- 1:35:35okay now that's that's a counter trend
- 1:35:37trade
- 1:35:38okay but this is how reversals start to
- 1:35:41set up
- 1:35:43and we can also look at
- 1:35:46the areas in here
- 1:35:48and start to see we want to see big
- 1:35:49clusters of selling
- 1:35:51again big clusters of selling
- 1:35:54okay less buying up here
- 1:35:57okay lower highs we haven't made a lower
- 1:35:59high yet
- 1:36:01we haven't made a lower low either
- 1:36:03so structurally this is still in an
- 1:36:05uptrend
- 1:36:07what we're starting to note some some
- 1:36:08some changes though in that
- 1:36:10the volume within that structure
- 1:36:13also the order flow or the other side of
- 1:36:15the trade within that structure
- 1:36:18okay traded into it slightly break out
- 1:36:20high liquidity down here
- 1:36:23at 168.
- 1:36:26all right so some interesting stuff
- 1:36:28there for apple uh so glad to cover that
- 1:36:30for you guys let's let's get to a few
- 1:36:32more questions in here um
- 1:36:36i didn't see goon05 i didn't see the
- 1:36:39synthetic icebergs at the big red dot on
- 1:36:42the bid remember uh 90 are synthetic um
- 1:36:46well uh
- 1:36:48i i don't know
- 1:36:50if you're talking about um
- 1:36:56the um
- 1:36:58s p
- 1:37:00yeah we can only see then the uh the
- 1:37:02icebergs on
- 1:37:04um
- 1:37:06on the cme instruments
- 1:37:11all right and yeah we can we we do have
- 1:37:13we have two different indicators uh
- 1:37:16the strength indicator uh within the
- 1:37:18bookmap global plus that can show or
- 1:37:21kind of
- 1:37:23emulate
- 1:37:24synthetic but we don't really know
- 1:37:26the synthetic icebergs
- 1:37:30okay so
- 1:37:32anyway uh
- 1:37:34that's the beauty of the mbo uh is we we
- 1:37:37know for sure
- 1:37:47all right so anyway uh
- 1:37:49yeah we'll look for it i mean we can
- 1:37:52turn on the synthetic icebergs
- 1:37:54as well but
- 1:37:56basically
- 1:37:57um
- 1:38:02yeah i would have to
- 1:38:04we'd have to i'm sorry i didn't get to
- 1:38:05your question in time
- 1:38:07uh
- 1:38:08to to cover it but yeah we could we can
- 1:38:10cover it in in detail
- 1:38:13next time i
- 1:38:14guess
- 1:38:16okay so let's take a look at our bitcoin
- 1:38:18you know seeing some selling coming in
- 1:38:20here as well in bitcoin but uh
- 1:38:22um yeah so probably some back and forth
- 1:38:25right now but this is a really strong
- 1:38:27powerful move here
- 1:38:28uh let's let's end up here with our
- 1:38:31how's our
- 1:38:34s p look
- 1:38:41okay so our s p
- 1:38:43european close just went right back up
- 1:38:45to o5 again
- 1:38:46it's a pretty
- 1:38:48pretty interesting move um
- 1:38:50well i thought here i you know i was
- 1:38:52thinking we'd probably get up here and
- 1:38:54we'd see the move and we got it we got
- 1:38:56the options we got that thing going uh
- 1:38:58above the uh 4 500
- 1:39:01the figure here uh we're still we're
- 1:39:04still climbing higher and we still see
- 1:39:06these buyers up into these areas here o5
- 1:39:09but but look at the buying in here look
- 1:39:11at the selling in here
- 1:39:13okay we're seeing a lot of selling
- 1:39:15coming in
- 1:39:16all right so
- 1:39:18um
- 1:39:19structurally hey we're still bullish
- 1:39:24you you can look you can look at it here
- 1:39:27structurally we're still making higher
- 1:39:29highs and uh
- 1:39:31basically higher lows uh
- 1:39:34but uh yeah we see a few different
- 1:39:36things in here
- 1:39:40all right so this is where this
- 1:39:42structure did break
- 1:39:44uh and then we got the the move lower
- 1:39:46here um
- 1:39:48but uh here
- 1:39:49see how it bounced off of that and we
- 1:39:51get to move
- 1:39:52higher right so
- 1:39:55anyway starting to see a slowdown in it
- 1:39:58as well
- 1:39:59in that structure
- 1:40:01all right guys let's wrap it up thanks
- 1:40:03for coming everybody we'll catch up
- 1:40:04tomorrow we'll have j trader on for the
- 1:40:06first 15 minutes i'll go through

- 1:40:11we'll go over some stocks
