1:04All right, back for another Hey.
1:20So, last night, uh, I ended up trading
1:24silver.
1:26So, last night I traded silver and we
1:28ended up making like $700 on the drop
1:31that happened overnight.
1:34So the goal is today to just not lose
1:38all of our profits. If we do,
1:43we're going to try and not go in a draw
1:45down basically.
1:47So we're going to have to be careful.
1:52Uh we are just ripping.
1:56What I would realistically
2:03like to see is
2:06so we're we're ripping a lot during
2:08pre-market. So during Asia and London,
2:10we just continued higher and higher.
2:14Um ultimately the previous daily highs
2:17would be what we'd be looking for as for
2:19a target for the upside. The only thing
2:21that I'm thinking though is that
2:26I would be
2:28I'm prepared for it, but I would be
2:30pretty surprised if we open up and we
2:33just immediately rip to these highs. I
2:37would be expecting some type of
2:40if we are going to go high or something
2:42like this
2:44um to come down maybe into this area.
2:48[clears throat] But it's definitely
2:54very bullish. Obviously
3:00the weekly and daily. So this is weekly.
3:04We're still here in this range.
3:10So we got to be careful. Although this
3:12daily candle is looking like
3:16looking pretty bullish. So, we have
3:19market open here in about
3:236 minutes
3:26or 5 and a half minutes.
3:29Yeah, and Q did rip.
3:34What's up? Good morning.
3:39So yesterday
3:41the analysis was right, but we ended up
3:43taking an L. And then I took a break and
3:45then I came back later as we continued
3:48to drop
3:49and I made back uh the losses plus $300
3:56yesterday offstream and then traded
3:59silver a little bit. So our balance is
4:016,200.
4:04We're going to try and
4:09not lose our
4:13realistically. I just need to make sure
4:15that I end the day
4:17positive 150
4:21200.
4:23I just need today to count towards a
4:26payout because this is like the second
4:28day of the fourth payout cycle.
4:39So,
4:43I need to
4:47need to finish out this month's draw
4:49basically
4:51on this account. And I I need to start
4:53getting new accounts. I've been just
4:55focusing on only this one, but
4:58I'm trying to see if I can get a max
4:59payout on this account, honestly.
5:05But we're going to see what happens here
5:07at market open. I'm going to um wait to
5:10see if we're going to
5:13I think it's more likely that we open up
5:15and we actually retrace into some of
5:17this overnight move than if we just open
5:18up and rip higher. But
5:21[ __ ] dude. Anything's possible. So
5:26ultimately ultimately though I would
5:27like to see us
5:29continue higher. I want to see us just
5:32get out of this range to be completely
5:33honest. We've been stuck in here for
5:35like two months
5:37between like here and here.
5:49Yeah, buyers are just not letting
5:51letting up right now.
6:09You're up 750 yesterday. That's what's
6:11up. Are you close to passing that that
6:14EVO?
6:15And yeah, I haven't been getting
6:16payouts. Um, I really haven't spent that
6:19much money on profirms
6:22this month. So, I'm going to start
6:24taking some of the profits and getting
6:27more accounts. I've just been kind of
6:29focused on the one that I'm on right
6:31now. I've had this funded account now
6:33for like a month and a half.
6:41So, we'll see.
6:43We'll see if we can get the balance up a
6:45little bit more. Maybe to 8,000 or
6:4610,000.
6:53Back to break even. All right.
6:57But yeah, I've been honestly I've been
6:59getting
7:01I've been getting wrecked during New
7:03York open the past like three or four
7:05days. So, we're going to try and change
7:08that here today.
7:13Yeah, you'll get it. You'll get it to
7:1553K.
8:02So, we're going to open up here in a
8:03minute. We're going to see what happens.
8:06Yesterday, [clears throat] we had a
8:07pretty large day and today we're
8:13already pretty big. It was a pretty big
8:16move overnight.
8:19London had a crazy pump.
8:28That's crazy. The daily candle before
8:30real before RTH is already
8:35like 400 points.
8:41I want to see if we're going to retrace
8:43lower
8:46off the open.
9:37All right, we may be coming down, but I
9:40don't want to get faked out. So, I'm
9:42going to wait a second.
9:49All right, I'm going to enter into five
9:51micro short
9:53>> order filled.
10:07We actually This is Hold on.
10:12>> I need to get out of this. Do you see
10:14the discre? Do you see the change?
10:17It's uh what's it called? Project X is
10:20lagging right now. It's lagging right
10:23now.
10:33Hold on. I got to see. I got to make
10:34sure I'm not going to put myself in a
10:36position where Project X is going to
10:38[ __ ] me right now.
10:43See, it's like delayed by like two
10:45seconds
10:47or
10:50is this My rhythmic is delayed right now
10:53actually.
11:00Yeah, that's what I'm worried about.
11:01That's why I just got out of the trade.
11:03Even though I still think it's going
11:05lower, I'm worried that um Project X is
11:08going to [ __ ] me
11:28because there's a small difference
11:29between my project X and my
11:32um rhythmic data right now.
11:36So, I'm going to wait for a second.
11:42See that? You see how
11:45Yeah, it's not good.
11:48It's not good for my project X.
11:59We'll see if they can sync up here in a
12:01little bit.
12:11See, this candle's green. This candle's
12:12red. This candle's green.
12:21Oops. Let me just delete this.
12:46That's crazy. Look at that. Look at that
12:49difference.
12:51Should
12:54we just scalp it and try and take
12:56advantage of it? Let's see.
12:57>> Order filled.
13:02>> Order filled.
13:07>> You see that? The candle came up here,
13:10then this candle came up here, and then
13:12we started moving down. And this candle
13:14wasn't moved down yet, and it filled me.
13:16And we got out. We got like a free 150
13:19bucks.
13:21We just see what's happening.
13:26That's crazy.
13:37We can see into the future right now
13:41cuz Project X is lagging.
13:44So, look, watch. If this starts to melt
13:46right now, I'm just going to end up,
13:48dude. But you know what? If if I do
13:50this,
13:52I'm worried I'm not going to be able to
13:53get out of the trade.
13:57If this melts right now, I'm going to
13:59enter in.
14:07One, two, three.
14:14>> Order filled.
14:15>> Watch, watch, watch, watch.
14:19break even.
14:24Isn't that crazy, dude? Watch. And then
14:26I'm gonna see if this is going to come
14:28back to my break even and I'll just get
14:29out before it does.
14:39Well, I already made 700 over
14:43overnight. So,
14:46if they remove the trades from the open
14:48because I can basically see what the
14:50market is doing before it does it. Like,
14:52see, it's coming back to my break even
14:53amount.
14:57>> Ridiculous, dude. Just
15:00just free bread right now.
15:04It has like a 4 second delay.
15:08We just
15:10we just banked
15:14$300
15:17due to a 4 second delay between
15:20real data and project X data.
15:36Hey, that's crazy though.
15:38That's crazy.
16:02Although last time last time I tried to
16:04I saw this happening and I tried to do
16:05this. I entered into a trade and then
16:09Project X just wouldn't let me out of
16:10the trade.
16:20You go short right now.
16:24Then you would instantly be in profit.
16:28It's like with a two second delay,
16:43dude. Project X [ __ ] sucks.
16:52Yeah, it's delayed by 4 seconds. But
16:54it's working for me, though.
16:57That's why if you do trade project X,
17:01it's good to have a secondary uh it's
17:05good to have a secondary
17:07data provider because I was in I I was
17:10able to tell immediately that this was
17:13happening. Trading View though, like
17:17it's a little slower, so it's harder to
17:20tell.
17:23But my rhythmic data feed, like if
17:25there's ever a discrepancy between
17:27what's showing on
17:30um rhythmic versus project X, I could
17:32just see it immediately.
17:36So, we took advantage of it. We saw into
17:38the future by 4 seconds
17:41and we banked $300.
17:46watch [clears throat] Topep [ __ ] take
17:49away everyone's profits from the
17:52morning,
17:55which if they do, I won't really be uh
17:59too upset about
18:29All right, we're going to wait for this
18:30next fiveminute candle to open up.
18:40The delay is getting closer together
18:43though, so it might sync up soon.
18:45[clears throat]
19:06All right. I think um
19:10the delay went from like a 4 second
19:12delay to now it's like a one like a one
19:15second or like a my bad. Hold on.
19:23like a 1 second or like a two second.
19:35So, we we came down a little bit off the
19:37open. I was kind of expecting us to dig
19:39deeper into the move. Um,
19:43I was expecting us to dig deeper into
19:45this move up before we, if we are going
19:48to continue to previous daily highs.
19:51[clears throat] I'm I was expecting us
19:53to kind of dig a little deeper,
19:56probably take these lows at 25,800.
20:03We had some buyers step in here, but
20:05they're failing.
20:08If we start getting past um
20:11this area pushing lower,
20:15it's likely we come down here to
20:19this area.
20:23[snorts]
20:28But once we get into this area, if you
20:31are in the shorts, I would be careful
20:33because
20:35there is a chance that if we do come
20:37down here
20:42that we just come back up,
20:54but right now, thanks [clears throat] to
20:57uh Project X sucking ass.
21:02I'm up 986 on the day.
21:13So, if we um
21:16I think if I lose $600 at this point,
21:20I'm going to stop and I'll end the day
21:23up 300 to lock in a winning day.
21:33But I'm going to wait for this 15-minute
21:34candle to close.
21:36[snorts]
21:41Then we're going to see what what's
21:43going to happen here. if we're going to
21:44actually continue down into this area or
21:47if we're just going to
21:51chop a little bit.
22:21There is a chance that we do just like
22:24if we're not actually going to retrace
22:26back into some of this move,
22:29there's a chance that we could
22:30potentially chop right here or
22:32consolidate
22:35like here.
22:48Let me see what uh
22:51let me see the chaos that's going on in
22:53the top step discord right now.
23:11Oh, here we go. Look at all these buyers
23:12stepping in. There's uh a bunch of
23:16people in here that actually made money
23:18off of that delay. I would not be
23:21surprised if they took away the profits.
23:34All right, let's see if we can get a
23:36continuation higher to um previous daily
23:39highs.
24:01If we are going to go higher, I wouldn't
24:03really want to see us snap back below
24:06this area.
24:08But the 15minute candle, like look at
24:11this thing. Look at the wick on that.
24:55What I'm thinking though right now is my
24:59main priority at this point is
25:05let's just avoid these uh avoid a chop
25:08right here. Previous daily high 926. Um,
25:20oh, I'm looking at Tuesday's highs, huh?
25:23You're right.
25:26Thanks, Chris. Thanks for telling me.
25:30You are absolutely correct, sir.
25:34Previous daily highs were already taken.
25:39I was looking at this high from uh CPI
25:42which is Tuesday. Damn, today's
25:45Thursday.
25:52All right. Well, that's good to know.
26:00This
26:04Where is it? Right here.
26:08Yeah, this it was right here.
26:12So, we actually took that out
26:14pre-market.
26:17All right. Well, then I guess Tuesday's
26:20highs is what I'm watching for, but
26:24I don't want to get caught in a chop
26:27right here.
26:38We had a massive move yesterday, massive
26:40move overnight,
26:42and then I don't want to basically try
26:44and trade New York open. And then here
26:47we are getting caught in a balance.
26:51So I think what I'm going to do is I'm
26:53going to [clears throat] wait for price
26:55to get out of this area first before I
26:57make any trades.
27:03Unless something just looks like really
27:05good for us to either go lower or go
27:07higher. But realistically,
27:09like we had all this buying pressure
27:11step in.
27:13We kind of took the highs up here just
27:15like barely and then right back into
27:18this area. So, we're watching right now
27:20whether if we truly are bullish, this
27:24area in my opinion should realistically
27:26hold.
27:28like I wouldn't want to see us start
27:29closing on a five minute below it.
27:35If we do,
27:39then I'm going to have to just wait
27:41because then it might be
27:44a possibility that we're going to just
27:46whiplash right here.
28:33What do you guys think the chances are
28:34that top step removes those profits?
28:3950/50.
28:41Did they do that last time?
28:44I can't remember.
29:06Yeah, hopefully not.
29:17Dude, there was that one day though.
29:20Yeah, this is that's part of the reason
29:22why I haven't bought more accounts with
29:25Topep is cuz um
29:31it's just been kind of whack. We're
29:33pushing lower. We're gonna see if this
29:35can close down here.
29:40Yeah, I I haven't been buying any more
29:45accounts really with top step. This is
29:47like my last funded with them and I've
29:48just been focusing on this one.
29:52But um after this funded account, I'll
29:54probably
29:57get some more Alpha Futures accounts
29:59honestly.
30:03And I'll probably take a look at some
30:04other firms.
30:12Um, usually I'll have
30:16anywhere between like three to six
30:18funded accounts. Right now I only have
30:20one.
30:24Yeah, we're uh finally got out of here.
30:27So, let's see. What I want to see right
30:29now is I want to see how deep we're
30:31going to retrace into the overnight
30:34move. I am expecting us to come back
30:37into um
30:41come back into this area. But once we do
30:44get down here, I am going to um
30:48if I am in shorts, I would be taking
30:50profit basically once we take these lows
30:53if I get in shorts. But there's still a
30:56lot of time left in this 5m minute
30:57candle
30:59and I need to wait for it to close. So,
31:02there is a possibility that this
31:04fiveminute candle just makes the entire
31:06move. And if that happens, then I just
31:08got to basically sit on the sidelines
31:10for it. But yeah, I'll usually trade
31:12like three to six funded accounts. Um
31:18sometimes it's but I never copy trade
31:20them for whatever reason. I just get
31:23cooked when I when I copy trade. So I'll
31:26trade them all individually. trade some
31:28during Asia, trade some during um New
31:32York.
31:35But when you do when you when you don't
31:38copy trade them and you have like three
31:39to six of them, it's pretty chill cuz
31:42they're all going to be kind of
31:44staggered a little bit. So then like you
31:45can get like a payout, you know, like
31:47every couple days with this account. Um
31:53obviously I'm stuck to getting a payout
31:55minimum every five days.
32:06But yeah, I'm uh
32:09I think so far this month I've pulled a
32:12little over $3,000 in payouts and I've
32:15given Topep like $400.
32:18So we're positive like $2,600 so far
32:20this month with Topep. And then if I can
32:25pull another payout, then we're going to
32:26be up even more. So then I got to take
32:29some of those profits and start start
32:32building more funded accounts while I
32:34have a funded account because there's
32:36nothing worse than
32:39than just starting fresh
32:42with zero funded accounts.
32:47So, I got to make sure I have some
32:48backup accounts in case in case this
32:51account goes away. But we got $6,500 of
32:54draw down. So,
32:57I would have I would have to tilt so
33:00hard for me to lose $6,500 in a single
33:03day.
33:05So, we got some time.
33:13It's all good, dude. You You'll get some
33:14funded accounts.
33:26So, I'm watching uh this fivem minute
33:28candle right now. We did attempt to push
33:31lower. Um if we were really going to be
33:34going lower, I did want to see this
33:36close somewhere down here, but we have
33:39about
33:4120 seconds left and we just kind of snap
33:43back into here. So, it now turns back
33:46into a situation for me where I'm just
33:48going to sit here and wait.
33:52And in the meantime, while that's doing
33:55nothing, let's go look at gold.
34:03Wow, look at this range.
34:08What about silver?
34:16That was a huge drop last night on
34:18silver. It was down 4% like a couple
34:22hours into the daily candle.
34:27Massive.
34:39Well, I mean, the good thing is though,
34:41at least I mean, you're struggling with
34:43your eval maybe, but at least you're not
34:46blowing them.
35:00And if you're Yeah, if you're learning,
35:01it's good.
35:03If you're learning and you're trading an
35:06eval, then
35:08your goal should just be in the learning
35:11stage should just
35:14try not to blow your accounts.
35:29Yeah, this is uh pretty gross right now.
35:31This is um
35:33this is a no touch no touch type of
35:35price action for me right now.
35:42Two to five micros.
35:58Yeah.
36:01As long as you're holding on to the
36:02account and you're not blowing them and
36:04continuously buying more without ever
36:06passing them, I think uh you're doing
36:08all right. Just
36:11keep learning.
36:16The worst thing the worst thing you can
36:18realistically do
36:21when you're learning is trying to rush
36:22it. Or the worst thing that can happen
36:25when you're learning is uh
36:30is to pass an account by getting lucky
36:33and then you get a funded account and
36:35then you lose the funded account and
36:37then you start spiraling into a tilt
36:39because you're trying to rush back into
36:40a funded account. That's how you're
36:41going to lose a lot of money.
36:46Um no, so big trade settings are going
36:48to be different for everything. Uh it's
36:50even different between MNQ and NQ
36:54because what it's doing is um you can
36:57put it on the auto filter if you wanted
37:00to. And the auto filter is basically
37:02going to just take um what the normal
37:08orders look like. And then anytime
37:10there's like a outlier, something that's
37:13larger, it's going to mark it. Although
37:17if you leave it on auto filter, which I
37:19think I'm actually on autofilter right
37:20now for MNQ, it becomes kind of noisy
37:25sometimes.
37:27Like we care about these ones, right?
37:29Like 574
37:31and whatever that number is 400
37:34something.
37:35Uh we wouldn't really care about during
37:38New York session for especially on the
37:41micro contract. We don't really care
37:42about quote unquote big orders that are
37:44like 200 micro contracts um cuz that's
37:48not really like a big order. You'll
37:50notice when there's a really massive
37:52order in
37:54MNQ, it'll be like 800 contracts, 1,000
37:58contracts, 700 contracts. Those are true
38:01big trades. Those are the ones that we
38:03really want to see.
38:05Um, so what you should do if you're
38:07looking for settings on any other
38:09contract, whether it's NQE,
38:11MEES, gold, silver, the micros of those,
38:15put it on auto filter for a little
38:17while. Just watch what it's printing and
38:20then if you think it's too noisy, then
38:23just increase it. Like we have some here
38:25that are below 400. This large trade was
38:28below 400. This large trade was below
38:31400. If I think that that's too noisy,
38:33then just change the auto filter to to
38:37400 or above so that you don't see these
38:39because you don't want to be making
38:41decisions based off of noise
38:44and it can sometimes confuse you.
39:01But in terms of uh settings wise like
39:04color and
39:06um
39:08seeing the values in the bubbles and
39:10having them be circles. Yeah, it's the
39:12same.
39:20All right, this is going to be uh
39:22basically the third attempt to dig
39:24deeper into the move overnight before we
39:27potentially pop back up.
39:34It's also the new hourly and 4hour
39:37candle.
39:53If I do end up going short here, I'm
39:56just going to be targeting 800.
40:19I'm just waiting to see right now if
40:21we're going to snap back into this uh
40:24little range that we're in like back
40:26here.
40:29If we start flipping with some
40:30aggression to the downside, I might
40:32actually try and take a short like this.
40:36I need to see a flip, though.
40:45order.
40:45>> All right, I'm going to go short right
40:46here.
40:48And I I wouldn't want to see this get
40:52back above um
40:54the PC of the previous five minute
40:56candles. So, we're just going to have to
40:58put our stop for 100 ticks. So, if I get
41:01stopped out right now, I'll lose 250
41:04basically,
41:07which is fine.
41:11Where is it? 88. Yeah, like right here.
41:16Oh, see.
41:21I was expecting that to continue lower,
41:23but I guess we may just stay in this
41:25range for a little bit. Oh.
41:56but I only went five micros. So
42:00earlier when project X was um
42:05[ __ ] up and we made we just basically
42:08took $300 out of the market for free
42:12with basically zero risk. Um
42:16that's fine. We're basically just
42:17risking risking that right now. Risking
42:22the free profits.
42:38Man, silver is ripping right now.
42:48Giving their money back.
42:51I just I want to see us go lower
42:53realistically,
42:55but we're just
42:58[laughter] I want to see us go lower,
43:00but we're kind of just
43:03not doing much right now.
43:10Plus, what I'm looking at is I'm looking
43:12at um
43:17I'm looking at this hourly candle.
43:20That's a nasty previous close on the
43:22hourly, but it may retrace higher before
43:27comes down or it may just chop.
43:38Ooh,
43:42I was like a tick away. Look at that.
44:29Wow, we are one tick away from getting
44:31stopped.
44:33We might still get stopped.
44:47the perfect ad. Huh? Nah, I'm not going
44:50to add into this. We're just We're not
44:53very directional right now. We're kind
44:55of just like
44:57We're [snorts] not going anywhere.
45:03One tick. Yeah, one tick away.
45:10All
45:25right, we're going to see if we can
45:26start pushing down now. I'd be
45:31I would be um realistically if we do
45:35push down, I'm going to move my stop to
45:38break even once we start getting into
45:40this area. But we'll see if we can
45:42actually have some type of follow
45:44through lower if we're just going to
45:46stay in this area and kind of just like
45:48bounce around
45:50for a while.
46:04Although that candle doesn't look very
46:06good for our position, I'll tell you
46:08that
46:24All
46:36right, here we go with the selling
46:38pressure. So, we're having sellers step
46:41in. We're going to see if they can
46:42actually continue
46:46or if we're just going to snap back up.
46:50I'm not going to move my stop to break
46:51even just yet, even though it may snap
46:53back up to our full stop loss. I would
46:56like to see it make a push lower past
47:00this uh low. If we can get a push like
47:03that. Okay, now I go to break even
47:06because I don't want this to snap back.
47:15would like this to just continue and
47:18break out of this
47:20[ __ ] with some momentum.
47:24And now that a large sell order printed
47:26right here, I definitely don't want this
47:28to stay here and for this fiveminute
47:30candle to flip because then we're going
47:31right back into this range.
47:36>> Order filled.
47:37>> All right.
47:41The moose knuckle pattern.
47:44What the [ __ ] is that?
47:49All right, it's okay.
47:54How far in profit did I go?
47:57Like a 100 ticks.
48:16But yeah, anytime anytime I'm trying to
48:19watch price go lower,
48:22right, and we print a large sell order,
48:26this is a very obvious attempt of price
48:28trying to move lower and it fails.
48:34Um,
48:35you don't want to you don't want to be
48:37in that anymore. I mean, it can it can
48:39still, you know, chop around and slowly
48:43just go lower and then maybe just break
48:45really hard. But
48:47the most ideal situation for the trade
48:50that we tried to take is
48:53once once it actually were to have
48:55gotten down here and start pushing
48:57lower, it needed to do it with speed and
49:00not get caught and just continue.
49:02Otherwise,
49:05the reason why I moved my stop is
49:06because, you know, now we flip green
49:10with selling failed here again and we're
49:14back here in this range. And so, we
49:16don't want to be in that situation.
49:19It's not worth it. But you know what? We
49:22We got one tick away from our stop.
49:27We actually got kind of saved on that
49:29trade.
49:47So, as long as we're going to be in this
49:49area
49:51and do [ __ ] like this, it's better just
49:54to kind of wait.
50:00We need five more dollars to be up a
50:02band on the day.
50:05Should we chase the five bucks with five
50:07minis?
50:30I don't know what type of strategy is
50:33the moose knuckle.
50:36Never heard of it before.
50:52Let's take a look at Silver.
51:19What is silver doing?
51:28last night on silver
51:31after we we literally opened up and then
51:34immediately took all-time high and once
51:37we flipped back down with this red
51:39candle, I entered short
51:41and I thought I got out for like 700. I
51:45thought that this was a massive move. I
51:46was like, whoa, what a huge move for
51:48silver.
51:50Then look what happened after. Geez.
51:54Imagine if I would have held that one.
51:59Crazy.
52:04Now we're coming back up.
52:14Why is my watch list not loading?
52:19But right now NQ is doing absolutely
52:22nothing.
52:25So,
52:30but it's not like a huge surprise, I
52:32guess.
52:56Honestly,
53:13if you're sitting here and you're
53:14watching this right now, like you're
53:16watching this price action,
53:21just wait a second, dude.
53:25I don't really think this is a good area
53:27to try and force a trade right now.
53:35Oh, look at it on the one minute.
53:45I would be upset with myself if I lost
53:47money in this mess.
54:41I still think it's more likely that we
54:43dig a little deeper into this overnight
54:46move.
54:48Going for the $5.
54:54No, not right now. But I'll tell you
54:56what, the next trade that I take
55:00when I move it to break even, I'll be
55:02sure to uh
55:07I'll be sure to put it at least $5 in
55:10profit so we can have some round numbers
55:12here.
55:15One NQ for two ticks
55:24for five bucks.
55:27It' be it'd be 10 bucks actually.
55:47Also, by the way, if you're watching
55:49this and you're not you're not in our
55:52Discord, it's a free Discord. I'm giving
55:54away two Alpha Zero accounts
55:58uh 50ks
56:00on Wednesday. So, if you want to enter
56:02into the giveaway for a free evaluation
56:06that costs like a hundred bucks, um,
56:10click the link in the description and
56:11join the Discord and then just check the
56:14announcements and then
56:18good luck. Hopefully, you won the
56:19account.
56:26Yeah, we give away accounts when I can
56:30give away I gave away two accounts like
56:32two weeks ago and then I'm giving away
56:34another two accounts right now.
56:41So, there's still time. I'm going to run
56:43the actual giveaway
56:47on Wednesday.
56:49Pick the winners.
57:21Um, I did take a trade. I went short.
57:26I went short right here
57:29and then we got one tick away from
57:32getting stopped out and then it went
57:35down 25 points. So, I moved my stop to
57:37break even and we couldn't have any
57:38follow through and it just came back.
57:41But yeah, it is pretty choppy right now.
57:45It's not an ideal situation to
57:48try and trade. I mean, look at the one
57:50minute. Looks disgusting,
57:54but it's not a surprise. I mean, we had
57:56a massive move yesterday, massive move
57:58overnight, and then here we are
58:00basically just finding balance.
58:06What I did want to see is for us to dig
58:08deeper into the move overnight and come
58:09below 800 for a bit before we pop back
58:12up, but it didn't really want to do
58:14that.
58:18Yeah.
58:23So, now we just wait. We sit on our
58:25hands
58:29because um volume is actually pretty
58:31decent right now. And you keep seeing
58:32these uh bigger trades come in, but
58:34we're just not moving anywhere.
59:54uh big trades. It's uh it's an indicator
59:57on my footprint chart.
1:00:03So,
1:00:05um essentially what big trades are is
1:00:07it's just looking for where a large
1:00:10amount of orders are entering the
1:00:12market. If it's yellow, that means it's
1:00:15buyers. If it's red, it means it's
1:00:16sellers.
1:00:20Well, I take that back. If it's yellow,
1:00:24it means that it's hitting the ask. It's
1:00:27orders that are hitting the ask or
1:00:28orders that were executed on the ask. If
1:00:31it's red,
1:00:35it means it was executed on the bid.
1:00:38But typically, if you're selling,
1:00:42you're executing the bid. And if you're
1:00:44buying, you're hitting the ask.
1:00:56Trade some commodities. Yeah, this is
1:00:58not doing anything.
1:01:18and I do have comx data so we could see
1:01:20the footprint if we do decide to trade.
1:01:23I usually only trade commodities during
1:01:25Asia session though to be honest.
1:01:29I don't really like trading it during
1:01:31New York session or you know when
1:01:33commodities have a pretty decent move
1:01:35sometimes is pre-market New York.
1:01:51I wonder if we're going to turn around
1:01:52on silver.
1:02:07What is the dollar doing?
1:03:05All right. So, as long as we're uh as
1:03:09long as we're in here,
1:03:12we're not going to do anything
1:03:21because who knows how long this is going
1:03:23to stay in this range. How big is this?
1:03:28100 points.
1:03:30Oh, that's the easy way to get wrecked.
1:03:46No thumbs. We got to make an extra five
1:03:47bucks.
1:03:51No. Yeah. I'm not I'm not really
1:03:52pressured to uh
1:03:55take a trade whatsoever, but
1:03:58I'll always sit here just in case. What
1:04:01else am I going to do? Doom scroll.
1:04:10I don't trade ES.
1:04:22Look at that. If you saw that previous
1:04:25fivem minutee candle and tried to go
1:04:27long,
1:04:29thinking you just saw buyers finally
1:04:31stepping in.
1:04:33Nasty.
1:04:34Yeah, gold does have some pretty simple
1:04:37price action um during Asia.
1:04:41It's it's it's nice. I like it.
1:04:43Actually, recently I haven't really been
1:04:45trading gold though. I've just been
1:04:46trading silver
1:04:48for like the past month or so,
1:04:51but gold has been I mean both all the
1:04:54commodities have had really good price
1:04:55action
1:04:57since
1:04:58last year in May realistically or June.
1:05:04Um,
1:05:06I only really I mean I would like dabble
1:05:08with gold here and there, but I really
1:05:11started trading gold kind of seriously
1:05:13during um October
1:05:18moving forward. There was like a there
1:05:21was a time in October where I actually
1:05:23didn't even touch NQ for maybe
1:05:27two or three weeks and I was only
1:05:30trading gold.
1:05:32Um, but right now
1:05:34gold I haven't been touching it because
1:05:37it does have good moves and we are
1:05:39making these like large arches but we
1:05:43are kind of in a range right now um all
1:05:46week
1:05:49so I haven't been touching it. Silver on
1:05:51the other hand
1:05:53is not in a range.
1:05:55Sort of is but
1:05:58we finally put in a a decent high here
1:06:00on silver.
1:06:02So now I want to see whether or not
1:06:04we're going to um because you got to
1:06:08look at this on an hourly time frame.
1:06:09Like look at this thing, dude.
1:06:12So at this point, I want to see if we're
1:06:15going to break this high and then
1:06:17continue up to alltime high or if we're
1:06:19about to basically just
1:06:23roll over down into here
1:06:27before we then go back up here.
1:06:34So, I'm just waiting to see what
1:06:37silver's going to do, but I usually
1:06:40won't touch it during New York.
1:06:43Sketches me out because one micro is $5
1:06:46a tick.
1:06:54And if you don't have draw down, like
1:06:56let's say you're trying to trade one
1:06:57micro and you have $2,000 of draw down
1:06:59in a normal 50k account,
1:07:02you better be right when you take that
1:07:04trade.
1:07:14The Maraago
1:07:19an all gold crib.
1:07:21Yeah.
1:07:40What time is it? 2 minutes until the
1:07:4215-minute candle closes. So
1:07:47it does look like we want to go lower
1:07:52in the target but still I'm not going to
1:07:56even though this whole time since the
1:07:57open I want price to come down here to
1:07:59800 I am going to refuse to touch it for
1:08:05now
1:08:10because you know would be nasty is if
1:08:12you're thinking oh We're breaking lower
1:08:14right now and you go short and we snap
1:08:16right back up.
1:08:21But on a normal day with normal price
1:08:23delivery, I would try and go short right
1:08:24here. But this is like
1:08:28it's just not worth it because where am
1:08:29I going to have to put my stop? Well,
1:08:33realistically, if we wait for this
1:08:34fiveminute candle to open, we'd probably
1:08:37try and enter somewhere right here.
1:08:39Yeah, I don't know about that.
1:08:4150 point stop.
1:08:44I don't think so.
1:08:48A I Z. What is that?
1:09:02The add in zone.
1:09:05No. Adding in a adding in a range is
1:09:10crazy work.
1:09:12Sketchy work.
1:09:15Give me a heart attack.
1:10:00Yeah, today is just one of those days.
1:10:06I'm going tell you this. If you're down
1:10:07right now and you're in draw down and
1:10:11you're sitting here trying to make your
1:10:13money back in this, I'll say it like I
1:10:16said it yesterday. Just stop, dude.
1:10:20Just come back tomorrow.
1:10:29This is not this is not uh this is not a
1:10:33make your money back type of price
1:10:34action right here.
1:10:40Are they still alive though? Were you
1:10:41able to to save it?
1:10:46Yeah, this this type of price action
1:10:48will cause tilt for a lot of traders.
1:10:52And I know if I if I like let's say
1:10:55price came up here, I try to go long. I
1:10:56think we're going higher, then snaps
1:10:58down. Oh no, we're going short. I go
1:10:59short right here. Snaps back up. Oh,
1:11:01I'mma start tilting, dude. So, it's just
1:11:04better to avoid that entire situation.
1:11:08Just avoid the whole thing. Just don't
1:11:10even don't even trade this. There's so
1:11:12many opportunities that NQ will provide.
1:11:15And if it doesn't happen during this
1:11:17morning,
1:11:19you know, it's not a big deal.
1:11:24Well, Maggie move. I hope that you
1:11:26didn't uh destroy all your accounts.
1:11:31Oh, well, you know what?
1:11:34Just don't make it worse. I mean, being
1:11:36down 600 is rough, but
1:11:39you can come back from that.
1:11:45You can come back from that.
1:11:51I once had uh earlier this month or at
1:11:55the end of last month, I had an account
1:11:57that had $60 of draw down left
1:12:01and then I brought it back to 2500. So,
1:12:05if I can do that, you'll be fine.
1:12:10The worst thing you could do right now
1:12:11is try and make back your 600 uh
1:12:14$600 and then just make it worse and
1:12:16then you enter the point of no return.
1:12:38But yeah, if I if I was in my first year
1:12:41of trading,
1:12:45when I was in my first year of trading,
1:12:47I would probably have already blown like
1:12:48a bunch of accounts right here.
1:12:52Or even the second year, my second year,
1:12:53I was still
1:12:56tilting.
1:12:58And I still tilt to this day. Hey, I got
1:12:59to chill sometimes.
1:13:04But through many blown accounts, I have
1:13:06now realized what type of situations
1:13:08will put me in a mental state where I
1:13:12end up blowing accounts. And this is one
1:13:13of those situations. So,
1:13:16we just sit here and avoid it.
1:14:04Ah, it did end up rolling over
1:14:08a little bit.
1:14:11Damn.
1:14:13Oh, let's see if NQ is going to finally
1:14:15do something here.
1:14:22Yeah,
1:14:26that's a good idea. It's a
1:14:29It's a good idea to remove the uh mini
1:14:33contract if you're usually trading
1:14:34micros. I mean,
1:14:37cuz even sometimes like
1:14:41you can be jumping around from NQ to MNQ
1:14:43and then you mess up and enter in with
1:14:46minis when you're trying to do micros.
1:14:48So just to prevent that from happening,
1:14:50it's good to just like block the symbol.
1:15:03Like for me sometimes because I go
1:15:05because I go five micros
1:15:08on project X a lot. It's kind of
1:15:11dangerous for me to
1:15:13be jumping around from contract to
1:15:15contract because I might accidentally go
1:15:18five minis if I click the wrong
1:15:20contract. So, the way that I avoid it is
1:15:24I'll limit
1:15:26I'll set the settings in here to limit
1:15:28my contracts to only four minis max,
1:15:31which I'm never trading four micros. So,
1:15:33if I'm on five and I accidentally go
1:15:35into uh NQ like right now, and I try and
1:15:39enter in five uh five minis,
1:15:42>> order rejected,
1:15:43>> it's going to reject my order. So, it
1:15:44just protects me. Although, that made me
1:15:47kind of nervous doing that right now
1:15:49because
1:15:51because I was I started thinking whether
1:15:53or not I actually had that that setting
1:15:55in there. Yeah, we're good. We're good.
1:16:00I probably should have checked that
1:16:01before I did that, but whatever.
1:16:38We don't really have any type of news
1:16:39tomorrow
1:16:44except for we just have OPEX.
1:16:50Today there's really nothing.
1:16:52Although in about two hours, Trump meets
1:16:55with Venezuela's Machado.
1:17:01Wonder what he's going to say.
1:17:04Wonder what's going to be said.
1:17:12It's the 28th next week or the week
1:17:14after that?
1:17:18It's the week after next week.
1:17:31US Treasury press releases are on
1:17:34sanctions.
1:17:59Dude, my XRP, dude.
1:18:11I need crypto to go up, bro. [ __ ]
1:18:15been holding on to that [ __ ] for too
1:18:17long.
1:18:20I'm sick of it.
1:18:24[ __ ] sick of it.
1:18:53Hey, does anyone in here uh quote
1:18:56unquote trade with Khi her poly market?
1:19:04I found this. I found I found out that
1:19:07you can bet on uh
1:19:10whether or not a 15minute candle on
1:19:12Bitcoin is going to be red or green.
1:19:17Dangerous.
1:19:19Dangerous.
1:19:22I deposited $100 and ran it up to 690
1:19:25bucks.
1:19:27Took my hundred bucks out. took $60
1:19:30profit out for some free dinner
1:19:35and then lost the rest of it because the
1:19:37candle closed like a dogee like this.
1:19:41I had a candle that I was betting it was
1:19:43red and I thought it was going to go
1:19:45lower and at the last second it jumped
1:19:46up and closed like one tick green and I
1:19:48[ __ ] lost 500 bucks, dude. So, I
1:19:51think I'm going to chill.
1:20:13All right, let's see if NQ is going to
1:20:15do anything.
1:20:17I'm going to give NQ
1:20:2220 to 30 minutes here. And if it's still
1:20:25in this range,
1:20:28GG's. See you tomorrow.
1:20:31If we can break out of this range,
1:20:35I'll stick around.
1:20:38Uh, an updated version of my settings.
1:20:40What [clears throat] What's different
1:20:42about it?
1:20:45I don't remember. Um,
1:20:54is there something in it that I changed
1:20:58that you're seeing differently on the
1:20:59screen? Just let me know.
1:21:03I have two different types of settings,
1:21:05though, by the way. I have this one that
1:21:06has uh the heat map on the side. Oh, the
1:21:09big trades. Is that not on the
1:21:14should be should be on the
1:21:19There's There's two files. You should
1:21:21try both of them. Um
1:21:31um I believe you need level two,
1:21:37but I have I have two settings. So this
1:21:40one I believe should be
1:21:45okay.
1:21:48I will
1:21:50I will double check and
1:21:54I will
1:21:56um
1:21:59Oh, you know what I'll do just to make
1:22:01sure that it's fine. I'll just I'll just
1:22:03re-upload them. I'll just take my exact
1:22:05settings I have right now. I'll save
1:22:08them. I'll download them
1:22:12and then I'll put them up. Yeah, there's
1:22:14um
1:22:17there's a video I have on YouTube for my
1:22:19settings on ATAS,
1:22:23so you can go check it out. Also, you
1:22:25know,
1:22:27realistically, um,
1:22:30when it comes to the settings or the
1:22:31template, the template is just to get it
1:22:35to look somewhat like this, but um,
1:22:39you can always go in there and uh,
1:22:41change the settings around to whatever
1:22:43you want. Like, I'm sure if you add uh
1:22:45big trades,
1:22:48you might not have a circle and it might
1:22:51be a square and then there's no number
1:22:53in it. Um, you can just as always change
1:22:55it. I think I go over it a little bit in
1:22:57the uh Yeah. Yeah. You always want it to
1:23:00suit suit how you want to see it. Like
1:23:03for example, my stacked imbalances are
1:23:06400%.
1:23:08Um, but maybe you don't want it to be
1:23:09400%. Maybe you want it to be 500 or 300
1:23:12or whatever.
1:23:14Yeah, we'll see if we can um find an
1:23:17opportunity here. break out of this area
1:23:20with some actual momentum
1:23:23and then see if we can take a trade to
1:23:26be up a,000 bucks on the day.
1:23:3315 minute is flipping though. Look at
1:23:35that.
1:23:42This is going to be another attempt to
1:23:43break through here. Although that wick
1:23:45above
1:23:47uh makes me think that this might be the
1:23:48one that actually goes through, but I'm
1:23:50not going to try and anticipate it.
1:24:14I'm tempted though.
1:24:29>> Order filled.
1:24:30>> I'm going to go short. Probably a bad
1:24:32idea,
1:24:34but we'll risk uh where is it? 870.
1:24:40I'll risk a 100 ticks
1:24:42if it doesn't want to just go through
1:24:44right now. Fine.
1:24:51But I think there's a chance. I think we
1:24:53got a chance here.
1:24:56What up, Chzy?
1:25:07Yeah, we'll see if we can uh collect a
1:25:09little uh five bucks here.
1:25:13I would like to see this.
1:25:16If it if it does break through right
1:25:18now, it's going to do it uh kind of
1:25:19hard. Like you'll see see we're we're
1:25:21making the attempt right now. Okay. So,
1:25:24now what we can do is let's move our
1:25:26stop
1:25:27$22 in profit and we're going to target
1:25:30800.
1:25:34for 400 bucks.
1:25:37We'll see if we can get it. I There is a
1:25:40chance we bounce right here though. So,
1:25:41we got to pick up speed again. We got to
1:25:43see us go like
1:25:47like that. Pick up the speed. Go, go,
1:25:50go.
1:25:55All right, let's see if we can finally
1:25:57take the lows.
1:26:03I do not want to see us get back above
1:26:06these sellers though,
1:26:11which might happen.
1:26:14But you know what? We locked in $1,000
1:26:16day if it wants to do that.
1:26:21Although I do think the appropriate
1:26:23target here is realistically 800.
1:26:26Oh, my bad.
1:26:48Order filled.
1:26:50>> Nasty work, NQ. Nasty work.
1:26:54Hey, you know what? We're up a,000 bucks
1:26:56today, though. We made our five dollars.
1:27:00How far in profit did that go?
1:27:06It's like three It's like twice today.
1:27:09Twice today we go 25 points in profit
1:27:12and it snaps back. Watch. It's going to
1:27:14go right now. [ __ ]
1:27:18[ __ ]
1:27:20They got my ass. They got me.
1:27:29Whatever.
1:27:34Nice. Yeah, you you guys probably got a
1:27:36better feel on it than I did. Even if
1:27:37you did move because I got in, right,
1:27:39and then we came up a little bit. So,
1:27:45if you got your entry in somewhere up
1:27:46here,
1:27:48you moved it to break even. You're
1:27:50chilling.
1:27:52858. Hell yeah. What a fill. Yeah, I
1:27:56would hold it to 800. After 800, if you
1:28:00want to keep holding it, you can, but um
1:28:03me personally, I would have gotten out
1:28:04of 800.
1:28:15Ah, that trade would have put us at a
1:28:17$7,000 bounce.
1:28:35I'm going to see if it goes down there.
1:28:49And I know we were I know I took it
1:28:51while we were still in this range, but
1:28:53the reason why I did that, even though I
1:28:54was saying the whole time that I'm not
1:28:56going to touch it as long as it's in
1:28:57here, we did push up um
1:29:01we did push up decently hard. And then
1:29:04when you see like these PC's up here, at
1:29:08least when I see these PC's,
1:29:11when they're like this, and then we
1:29:12start having a 15minute candle with this
1:29:14large wick and we're about to close and
1:29:16it's flipping, it's a there's a decent
1:29:19chance that we're actually going to
1:29:22break out of it. Although, there was a
1:29:25there's a possibility always that we
1:29:27stay in the range because
1:29:33technically or theoretically
1:29:36we can range indefinitely until one
1:29:39party decides to force another party to
1:29:41participate. So
1:29:45So we haven't taken 800 yet. We popped
1:29:47up a little bit. We retested this area.
1:29:49If we're going to continue down, you
1:29:51just realistically don't want to.
1:29:54You just don't want to see it go above
1:29:56this.
1:29:59I wouldn't want to see it go above that.
1:30:08Oh, I got to stop saying realistically.
1:30:10I say it too much.
1:30:14Say it too much.
1:30:35Damn, dude. What a bummer. I waited all
1:30:37morning for that trade basically
1:30:40just to get stopped at break even.
1:30:44It's my fault, though.
1:30:47All right, here we go. We have a order
1:30:50sitting down there, too. But I would be
1:30:52um cautious though, like
1:30:56the reason why I'd want to
1:30:59I want I would get out around 800 is
1:31:02because
1:31:04we are still bullish. We are we're
1:31:07ranging, but this is still a very
1:31:10bullish move. And yeah, we're coming
1:31:12down,
1:31:14but right around this area, um
1:31:19where is it?
1:31:22right around like right here
1:31:25somewhere right here.
1:31:27There is a chance that we actually
1:31:29bounce and continue higher. So, I would
1:31:33be really surprised.
1:31:35It would actually be kind of crazy if we
1:31:37pull one of these. We go like this,
1:31:39this, and then this. That would be
1:31:42crazy. I don't think that that's likely.
1:31:44I think it's more so going to be
1:31:45something like this.
1:31:49If I had to take a guess.
1:31:53There you go. Oh.
1:31:57Almost there.
1:32:04Yeah.
1:32:05Nothing wrong with a runner.
1:33:01Thanks, Chzi. I'm trying to get it to uh
1:33:04at least a $8,000 balance. Today is the
1:33:06second day in the fourth payout cycle
1:33:08for this account. So, still got some uh
1:33:12still got some time
1:33:15still got some time to [ __ ] it up.
1:33:22Um,
1:33:25zoomed out
1:33:29footprint chart zoomed out without
1:33:31seeing the candles.
1:33:34You're talking about when it's like this
1:33:36and the footprint disappearing.
1:33:38Um,
1:33:42you know what might help you? So, you
1:33:44can't see it, but if you're on ATAS,
1:33:47there is a
1:33:50at the very top of your chart, there's a
1:33:54little camera. There's like a little
1:33:55camera icon and to the left of it, there
1:33:58are two arrows pointing at each other
1:34:00and it says scale. Your scale might be
1:34:03on one.
1:34:05So, if it's on one, then you're seeing
1:34:07every single tick,
1:34:10which is going to require you to zoom in
1:34:12more. Um,
1:34:16if I have mine on two, so I see every
1:34:19two ticks. So, basically, it's showing
1:34:21No, no, not 10. That's crazy. That's
1:34:24crazy. Got to do like two for New York
1:34:27session. If you're ever trading Asia
1:34:29session, then you'd want it to be on
1:34:30one, but I have it on two for New York.
1:34:34And then um
1:34:38I sit with it like this a lot, but also
1:34:41I kind of have a bigger monitor. I don't
1:34:43know if that makes a difference.
1:34:46But yeah,
1:34:49so this is like the threshold right
1:34:50here. See that?
1:34:55I don't really need to see the actual
1:34:57footprint though because of how I have
1:35:00it set up. I don't need to see what the
1:35:01numbers are, right? Like I'm not sitting
1:35:04here looking like oh
1:35:07[ __ ] I'm not sitting here looking at
1:35:09this. What I'm looking at and the reason
1:35:10why I could zoom out is because
1:35:13imbalances get lit up with bold numbers.
1:35:16I see big trades. I see the volume
1:35:19profile. I see um
1:35:22the PC.
1:35:26So I don't need a I was kind of I was
1:35:29kind
1:35:31of dirty.
1:35:37And sometimes people will like if you
1:35:39first start trading footprint,
1:35:43you can look at this and you can be
1:35:44like, "What the [ __ ] am I looking at?"
1:35:48You know, like don't over complicate it.
1:35:50I mean, you do have to zoom in a little
1:35:52bit if you're trying to look at like
1:35:54finished and unfinished auctions, but I
1:35:56don't really use that. So, I don't
1:35:58really trade that a lot.
1:36:05If we end up um
1:36:10if we end up coming up here,
1:36:13it may be a good opportunity to short
1:36:16again to target 800. We didn't take it
1:36:18yet.
1:36:23When you first started trading, you just
1:36:26nearly quit. I mean, yeah, dude. A lot
1:36:28of people just quit. A lot of people
1:36:29just see gurus and they're
1:36:34they don't understand that this is
1:36:35actually pretty difficult to do
1:36:37consistently.
1:36:41Yeah. Finish and unfinished auctions.
1:36:43Oh,
1:36:48now that's a big order.
1:36:51Is this the entry for a short?
1:36:55potentially. But
1:37:00this is potentially an entry for a short
1:37:02right here. But I'm not going to I'm not
1:37:04going to take it. I can't take this
1:37:06after I just saw that. It may flip, but
1:37:14that was nasty.
1:37:21I'll probably make a video about
1:37:22unfinished and finished auctions,
1:37:24though. Although I don't really use
1:37:25them.
1:37:28Although what I am going to make a video
1:37:30about is I am going to make a video
1:37:32about how you find a real fair value
1:37:33gap.
1:37:35Not an ICT [clears throat] fair value
1:37:37gap, a real fair value gap
1:37:42using low volume nodes,
1:37:56trading view to motive wave quantas.
1:38:00Yeah, I like ATS.
1:38:12I've been using ATS now for
1:38:15a year. I think it's great.
1:38:20I've used Sierra charts before. Wasn't a
1:38:22fan.
1:38:25Trading View is obviously the go-to.
1:38:34Yeah, ATS is ve very nice. I'm a big
1:38:37fan. The only thing though that nobody
1:38:39can beat Trading View on is marking up
1:38:43charts.
1:38:44Just can't beat it. Like my mouse that I
1:38:47have, I have like uh I have like things
1:38:52on the side. You just set the hot keys
1:38:54for drawing stuff on the chart. It's
1:38:56beautiful. Makes it so easy to mark up
1:38:58charts. It's great. Trading View is
1:39:03unbeatable when it comes to marking up
1:39:05charts with like boxes and lines and
1:39:07[ __ ]
1:39:10Yeah. If you want ATAS, uh you can click
1:39:12the link in my bio, get a 14-day free
1:39:14trial, and you can test it out, see if
1:39:16you like it. They have a really good
1:39:17back testing feature if you're a big
1:39:20back tester.
1:39:22Um,
1:39:24and yeah, they actually changed their uh
1:39:27they changed their plans so that
1:39:30you don't um
1:39:33you don't need to have like the ultra
1:39:35one unless you're connecting like 20
1:39:37different connections,
1:39:39which maybe some of you guys do. I don't
1:39:42do that though. But you can just go with
1:39:45like the $40 a month plan. I think it's
1:39:48totally worth the money. I pay for the
1:39:50biggest one though cuz I got it before
1:39:51they uh
1:39:54I got it before they changed. There used
1:39:56to only be one plan and it was like $80
1:39:58a month or $70 a month or something and
1:40:01I just never changed it after.
1:40:07Uh well, I think it's the best back
1:40:09testing engine because
1:40:12um
1:40:14not only can you load up like it'll like
1:40:17the back testing engine will move like
1:40:19this. It'll move exactly like how it
1:40:20moves in real time, which is very nice
1:40:23because Trading View does the little
1:40:26jumpy [ __ ]
1:40:28No, it's not like Trading View. Trading
1:40:29View is laggy, right? It'll you can they
1:40:32got it down where you can they fixed it
1:40:34a little bit, but not really. like this
1:40:36will show you actual tick data. Um, and
1:40:39then
1:40:40you can actually even on the back
1:40:42testing, it takes a little bit of time
1:40:44to load, but it will also show you all
1:40:47of the previous limit orders, which is
1:40:49pretty impressive because not only is it
1:40:52keeping track of what happened on um
1:40:56like what was actually executed, but it
1:40:59shows you what was placed and when it
1:41:01got removed or when it got filled in
1:41:03terms of uh the depth of market, which I
1:41:07don't know. I don't know any other back
1:41:10tester that does that. Maybe bookmap. I
1:41:12don't know if they have a back testing
1:41:13engine, but
1:41:15it's great. It's like the best one.
1:41:19It's the best one in my opinion.
1:41:24Even if you wanted to even if you don't
1:41:27even if you don't trade footprint, it's
1:41:30still like really good for uh
1:41:36it's really good for um just back
1:41:39testing. Like if you just trade normal
1:41:41candlesticks, it's still great.
1:41:44It's better than uh Trading View by far
1:41:49when it comes to back testing.
1:42:04do I back test a specific way?
1:42:09Um,
1:42:19back testing.
1:42:22I used to back test on ATS a lot. What
1:42:26I'm probably going to start doing though
1:42:28is um
1:42:31I don't really I don't really back test
1:42:33that much anymore. But
1:42:37what I'm probably going to start doing
1:42:38in the Discord is I'll probably do like
1:42:40some back testing sessions and kind of
1:42:43explain um what it is that I'm looking
1:42:47at because sometimes when I'm trading
1:42:49here on live, I can't really explain
1:42:51everything that I'm looking at because
1:42:53I'm trying to focus on not losing money.
1:42:56But in a back testing session, I can
1:42:58explain everything that I'm kind of
1:42:59looking at. So, I'll probably start
1:43:01doing those maybe next month in the
1:43:04Discord. So, if you care for that,
1:43:07join the Discord.
1:43:09It's free.
1:43:11So,
1:43:13probably do it on like a
1:43:16weekend or something,
1:43:19but I don't really back test that much
1:43:20anymore for me. I I think um
1:43:28I think uh my version of back testing is
1:43:32just trading. And because I record all
1:43:34my trades, sometimes I'll go back and
1:43:36I'll watch my trades and I know exactly
1:43:38what I was thinking and if I was wrong,
1:43:40I'll just like make a mental note and
1:43:42try and learn from it to not do it
1:43:44again.
1:43:47[laughter]
1:43:48Somebody else mentioned that before,
1:43:50too.
1:43:52Yeah, Megie move. You'll uh you'll get
1:43:54used to it. I mean, it's comes down to
1:43:56preference. You may not like it, you
1:43:57know, but I I love it. Yeah, the no
1:44:00handles is crazy, huh?
1:44:03That's a cupboard.
1:44:06Let's see what's behind here.
1:44:09Darkness
1:44:11and hoodies. It's my closet right here.
1:44:15It does not have handles, though.
1:44:18They're like cups. [snorts]
1:44:20It's funny that you mentioned that cuz
1:44:22somebody else somebody else was trolling
1:44:24me saying that it doesn't have any
1:44:26handles. It's chill though. I could grab
1:44:29it.
1:44:30Doesn't matter.
1:44:33Yeah, with the non- handles.
1:44:36I don't even use the handles sometimes.
1:44:38I just grab it like this.
1:44:45Yeah, it's like a big closet. There's a
1:44:47door right here and a door right here.
1:44:51It's like a big ass closet.
1:44:58Yeah, that's funny though.
1:45:09Yeah, we couldn't we I couldn't afford
1:45:10the handles on the doors.
1:45:13Not until I get more payouts. more
1:45:16payouts and then we'll uh throw some
1:45:18handles on that thing.
1:45:24Man, we came right back into this range.
1:45:27We never took 800.
1:45:36Well, makes me feel better though
1:45:37because realistically ah here I go again
1:45:40saying realistically. Makes me feel
1:45:41better. It makes me feel better though
1:45:43because when I entered in short right
1:45:44here, um I would have kept it at break
1:45:48even until we hit 800. So I would have
1:45:50hit break even anyways. So makes me feel
1:45:52a little better
1:45:55that I didn't completely fumble that
1:45:57trade.
1:46:16But
1:46:17I think what I am thinking right now is
1:46:21there is a chance that we do start now
1:46:23continuing higher. Um
1:46:27I'm up $1,000. Dude, there's no point in
1:46:29risking my capital in this mess. This is
1:46:34a mess.
1:46:37That looks pretty good on the one minute
1:46:38though. But for 5 minute,
1:46:41this is chaos right here. We're getting
1:46:44closer to um lunch.
1:46:48I think I'm going to do myself a favor
1:46:50right now
1:46:52because I'm worried I'm about to get off
1:46:54stream, go do something, come back and
1:46:56think I see a trade and [ __ ] it up. So,
1:46:57I'm actually just going to lock out.
1:47:00We'll take our $1,000. We got three days
1:47:03left for a payout.
1:47:06And uh
1:47:10and we'll try we'll try and get up to
1:47:11like eight or 10 grand.
1:47:15Rocket Ray. Rocket Ray trades.
1:47:18Do I go over my trades?
1:47:21I can go over my trades right now if you
1:47:23want. I can't even remember them
1:47:25actually. Let me see.
1:47:30I tried to take a short. Oh yeah, this
1:47:32morning. So Project X was uh delayed by
1:47:354 seconds. And so I just took advantage
1:47:36of it and um
1:47:40made uh made 300 bucks and then I tried
1:47:42to go short here. Went 100 ticks in
1:47:46profit, snap back to break even. Went
1:47:48short right here. 100 ticks in profit,
1:47:50snap back to break even. Last night I
1:47:52took a short on silver. So, like I
1:47:56mentioned earlier on silver when we were
1:47:59opening up during CME open and we
1:48:02instantly ran and took the all-time high
1:48:04and then this red candle came in on the
1:48:06fiveminute and it flipped
1:48:09[laughter]
1:48:10when the when the red candle came in on
1:48:12the fiveminute and it flipped. I entered
1:48:13short right here. Uh and I got out right
1:48:16at these lows and then um I was up 600
1:48:19from that. So 600 or 700 last night, 680
1:48:25and then we tried to short
1:48:28market open on NQ. Thankfully for
1:48:31Project X being such a shitty platform,
1:48:34we got a three 300 uh a free 300 bucks
1:48:39and um
1:48:47what journal? I do journal. I do I do
