all right folks well we're here

so technically this is the first teaching I gave you guys an introduction video obviously

if you haven't watched that one yet go to the playlist on my youtube channel

and please watch that one because it'll help at least establish the, in my opinion, the proper expectations.

That way you understand what you're getting involved with here.

And at least it gives me a chance to kind of like break the ice

and show you the contrast of what you may be expecting versus what I intend to deliver.

All right, so this first installment is going to be Elements to a Trade Setup.

all right so

coming out of the gate i just want you to know

that this is predominantly going to be a futures index trading

mentorship okay the idea is going to be presented in the scope of paper trading on tradingview .com

but what you're looking at here this is thinkorswim's live data

These are actual executions I made today, and I want you to compare and contrast with what you see on YouTube and other educators,

where they'll tell that they can do this and they can do that.

But really, I want you to compare and contrast what you see here.

All right, so we're looking at intraday price action for NASDAQ e -mini futures.

And this is actually the main focus of this mentorship.

I believe that this market is worth studying.

I believe it is not just limited to NASDAQ,

but I believe it's useful to learn as a trader that views, obviously, the E -mini S &P,

the E -mini

Dow Future, and the E -mini NASDAQ.

Now, the E -mini NASDAQ is a little bit faster, a little bit more aggressive.

and even with that you can still trade it.

So I want you to think about what it means to watch price action

and understand what it's likely to do before it does it.

Now I'm not promising you're going to be able to do that right out of the gate.

What I'm going to show you is

the compare

and contrast to how I can trade versus what I'm promising to teach

you in this mentorship how to find specific setups in your demo account okay

or your paper trading account I'm not trying to entice you to trade with live funds okay

so we would know

this going in the teachings will be predominantly through the scope of tradingview .com's paper trading module

or just hindsight data now I already know some of you are oh here

we go the hindsight guy well what you're looking at here is actually live executions from today.

Okay.

And I want you to think about

if you were able to trade a micro account and you were trading the NASDAQ and you were able to capture

just one of these moves, which one would you like to learn how to find?

Obviously you'd probably look at this and think, well, I'd like to do all of them.

But I want you to think about

which one really stands out off the entire chart and this is a one minute chart which one really stands out

i'll give you a moment you can pause the video and unpause it when you're ready

some of you folks never ever pause it all right

so obviously we can see how the market moves from here okay two orders executed here whenever

you see this this is actually a reversal so

if there is a trade on long it'll reverse

and take you the other direction okay

and then this one here this is a reversal as well then another close and then another long

entry the exit a short entry

and then the cover okay i'd like for you to consider what it would take for you to find consistency

and how many handles how many full handle moves in an index futures contract

that would satisfy you

when I say a handle that's essentially four ticks the minimum fluctuation in these markets an example would be

if you were trading the e -mini S &P and you were trading obviously the fourth

4 -5 -0 level and you went long, if it went to 4 -4 -5 -1, that's a full handle, okay,

or four ticks, or four times $12 .50 or $50 per handle.

The NASDAQ is $20 per handle.

So it's slightly different, but it's faster.

It moves a lot more.

A lot more handles, a lot more aggression.

Now, it doesn't always move faster.

Sometimes we'll have a lethargic price action in this indice or another out of the three.

That would be the S &P, the NASDAQ, and the Dow.

I personally don't trade the Dow that much, but there's a lot of my students that love trading the YM.

But YM is the symbol for the futures contract.

And these three markets have the luxury for you

that may not have the capability to put up to like $17 ,000 margin

if you were going to trade one full contract of the NASDAQ futures.

Most brokers, unless you're using a discount broker, they're going to require you to have deep pockets and cents

that you're going to have that about $17 ,000 and about $12 ,500 for an e -mini S &P full futures contract.

Okay.

You take basically a fraction of that and you can trade a micro on each one of these markets,

but obviously it reduces the number of the tick multiplier because you're trading with a lot less technically leverage.

so I'm gonna get into all that

but I just kind of like want to begin the conversation informally

but also just kind of like show you what it is that I do versus what other people do okay so

I'm not trying to you know point my finger at anyone in particular

but if you look around on YouTube there are people out there

that try to make a big stink about themselves and they'll try to show results that may or may not be real.

I'm not here to disparage that.

They could be actually trading a live account.

I don't personally care, but anyone that trades on Thinkorswim, they can recognize this chart right away.

I posted a results and updated reflection on the Thinkorswim or TD Ameritrade account, and it's on my community tab.

I promise I won't beat you up too much with the community tab

but that's my way of reaching out to you so

if you subscribe to the channel and then

when you subscribe to the channel you want to toggle all notifications you want click

that little I think it's like a bell icon

and in all notifications

that way anytime I post in my community tab it'll let you know otherwise it won't let you know

so it's it's my replacement to Twitter which in my opinion sucks

so if we look at the ebb

and flow of all this here where the markets trading up

and between here

and here it's not a small number of handles

it's a pretty respectful amount of handles it's not a couple with some handful

100

and then up here it's a reversal and it comes back down

101

and I buy it back here in reverse so I'm selling short here

102

and I'm buying long here 740 to 720

103

that's 20 handles going long here at 720 I'm abbreviating the number just for the brevity sake getting out at 732,

104

12 handles.

105

Then going along here, 756, and then getting out at 784 .5,

106

then going short at 798, and covering at 675.

107

So I'll ask you, which one of these trades do you think is the one that you want to learn?

108

Again, putting all aside the idea that you probably want to do all of these

109

but i'm not promising you

110

that okay i'm going to take you into how to find

111

this setup here notice the number of handles i'm not promising you're gonna get this many handles

112

but the setups

113

and the logic behind

114

it will help you find these types of frameworks framework is the foundation to a trading model

115

so you have to have an understanding what is you're looking for

116

And that's really the only thing

117

I'm introducing tonight is the idea of what it is I'm promising to educate you with

118

so that way you can go in and find these setups on your own.

119

You will not need to be a slave to some kind of black box system.

120

You don't need to be a part of some kind of signal generating gimmick.

121

You don't need to be a part of a signal service.

122

You can find these on your own.

123

independent.

124

That's exactly what I'm trying to frame in all of my students.

125

I do that with my mentorship students that paid me for education.

126

Now, here you are in my YouTube channel.

127

I'm telling you the same thing.

128

I'm teaching independence.

129

That way you're not requiring any handholding by me.

130

Once you understand the rules and you go through the processes and things I'm going to teach you how to practice with,

131

you will not need anything except for the chart itself.

132

That's it.

133

And that's how, in my opinion, and you can argue with this if you want, but I could care less if you could,

134

any of you would challenge the idea that independent thinking is not the best way of doing it.

135

You want to be able to be unshackled.

136

Okay.

137

And if you're part of a signal service or

138

if you're part of a approach that requires you to use a black box system, you're kind of held captive, aren't you? So

139

if you look at this this chart is clean except for these little bubbles actually show you the transactions

140

you don't really get any kind of well distortion from your

141

reading of price action I don't have a lot of graffiti on the chart okay

142

but the main takeaway here is I want you to understand

143

that I don't hunt for three of five handles and consider that legendary.

144

Okay.

145

Now, can you be profitable if you take high frequency trades and you do those types of trades?

146

Absolutely.

147

That's what I'll go to do.

148

Algorithms do that.

149

But I'm trying to show you by contrast that there is a way

150

that you can find setups that are outside that parameter of very small little handles and doing lots of contracts.

151

So if you're looking at this here and

152

if it was say you're trading

153

and you're trading a Nasdaq micro account

154

you're not making a lot of money on these swings okay

155

I'm not making a lot of money on these swings

156

but I'm able to find these swings

157

and it's not these small little increments okay I'm gonna teach you skill sets

158

that focus primarily on this okay you want to find a nice price leg intraday

159

I'm not promising you how to buy sell short buy sell short buy sell short

160

that's that's mine okay I'm not teaching that

161

and I know somebody oh you're a jerk you're this you're

162

that whatever I didn't promise

163

that that's why I set the stage in the first introduction video

164

so that way we know what it is I'm teaching you

165

if any one of you here don't want to learn how to take

166

this type of trade you're welcome to not continue

167

and turn this video off and go watch whoever okay

168

but I think if you give it a chance you'll find some amazing things that bring clarity to reading price action.

169

All right, so we're looking at the NASDAQ Futures March delivery contract, and this is a TradingView chart.

170

And if you've never used tradingview .com, the way you would pull this symbol up is NQH2022, okay?

171

And this is a weekly chart.

172

And I want you to think about each week before the new trading week begins, preferably on the weekend.

173

The idea is you want to try to get a read on what you think

174

that next weekly candle is going to do.

175

Is it going to go higher or is it going to go lower?

176

You're not trying to predict the close of the weekly candle.

177

That's important.

178

You just want to see before this weekly candle opened up, all we had was this indecisive candle.

179

Do you think that this candle that would have formed and opened here is more likely to go higher or lower?

180

Obviously, with the benefit of hindsight here, but I can tell you, all of my students know we've been looking for lower prices.

181

And I'll just give you a quick short list as the reasons why.

182

Number one, seasonality.

183

Okay, seasonal tendencies, it tends to go down around this time anyway.

184

We also have discussions about how the Fed's going to raise interest rates stock market does not like

185

that we're also in earnings season there's a lot of volatility

186

because of earnings and those factors plus the underlying tone of the marketplace

187

which i'll show you when we get into the daily chart it just well it's heavy

188

and this is where it was going to draw to okay did i expect

189

this entire range to be delivered in one week no that's not important

190

The point is I'm expecting the weekly candle to expand on the lower end or go down and gravitate towards this low,

191

which it hasn't broken yet, but I think that's what we're probably going to aim for on Sunday's opening going into Monday's trading.

192

So that's where I think it's drawing to.

193

And that's the component I want you to focus on with your analysis.

194

What is the market likely to draw to?

195

When I say draw to, think of it as price.

196

being a paper clip okay and then you you have this magnetic impulse

197

that specific price levels

198

and seasonality okay will put on price it'll cause price to gravitate towards certain levels

199

and the measure of speed

200

and magnitude did it moves to get to these levels you learn

201

that over experience that's not something I can transfer it's something you have to practice

202

and see and study and you get a rhythm for it.

203

Every educator knows what I mean by that

204

and every student that's been trained successfully by any other educator will not understand exactly what I mean by that.

205

You just get a feel for it.

206

It's experience.

207

There's no way of defining outside of that.

208

In the early stages of your development, you want to at least try to focus your attention on where that weekly candle is going to do.

209

Now, here's the thing.

210

It may start the first half of the week or maybe just one day expand lower.

211

And if you get a setup in that, that's it you're done.

212

That's how you start working towards consistency.

213

No student ever should try to trade every single session, every single day, because the only thing you're doing is building an expectation

214

that you're going to be able to do this every single day profitably.

215

And then if you do get a run of profitability, as soon as you get a losing trade, it's going to blow your mind.

216

And you're going to want to correct it quickly.

217

And you're going to start making irrational decisions and then you enter

218

that loser cycle I've talked about many times in the YouTube channel.

219

So the only thing you're looking for is a likely movement higher or lower based on the weekly candle.

220

Okay, that's all you're doing.

221

That sets your initial bias for the week.

222

On the daily chart, you're looking for swing highs and swing lows to get your liquidity.

223

and majority of your trading and the draw on liquidity, what makes the market go higher or lower, it's predominantly found on this timeframe.

224

Okay.

225

So majority of your analysis should really be linked to this timeframe right here.

226

You have to have an assumption whether you're going to be expecting that weekly candle to expand higher or lower.

227

That's your weekly bias.

228

But then you have to go into the daily chart

229

and figure out basically where you are in the grand scheme of things on that weekly range expanding higher or lower.

230

Because we're looking for lower prices and we're looking for weakness, the expectation is we want to see every short -term low,

231

like this would be a short -term low, this would be a short -term low, and underneath those lows is going to be sell stops.

232

Okay, that's liquidity.

233

When I say learn to start looking for where the market's going to draw to, it's drawing to one of two things, okay?

234

It's drawing to stops which is liquidity or it's running to an imbalance now what's that mean

235

above old highs buy stops below old lows sell stops imbalances is something like this over here

236

we have one single candle pass higher and the previous candles high is here

237

and the next candle is low is here

238

so it only went up one candle nothing moved down the overlap with that same delivery on that price candle there.

239

So in other words, that's an imbalance.

240

It's only going higher and nothing else is here to offset that and efficiently deliver price on the opposite end.

241

Now, you've probably heard of the theory, auction theory.

242

And folks hear me try to communicate some of these things and they'll run away with, oh, he's just talking about auction theory.

243

And it's not.

244

Just like when they see me do a rectangle or a box on a chart.

245

And you'll see one in this video it's not supplying demand okay it's just what it is you'll see it

246

and you'll know right away after you've been with me for a couple weeks

247

that this is entirely unique and there's nothing else like it

248

and I'm certain majority of you're going to fall in love with this model

249

so we're looking for lower prices we're looking for an expansion I'm using the benefit of hindsight

250

but I can promise you again this was discussed we were looking for lower prices in my pay group

251

and if I did not say that I had a lot of students

252

that are making YouTube channels they are welcome to come out

253

and say i'm a liar

254

so we're looking at the daily chart

255

we're going to drop down into the hourly chart okay

256

now what i have here is a framework for looking at the weekly range on an hourly chart

257

so all i did was beginning on midnight new york time monday's candle

258

and then friday's close

259

and in the beginning of friday's trading at midnight okay now what i'm delineating here is the fact

260

that we had a nice sell -off on Thursday and the market went into consolidation overnight.

261

Notice what happens here on Friday.

262

This is that old low in the daily chart.

263

That's what we're thinking and we're assuming that it's going to draw to because that daily chart, there's lots of liquidity and large fund traders,

264

large institutional traders, institutional mindset investors will be looking at these old lows and old highs.

265

and liquidity providers will be looking to take business in around these same levels.

266

So if we know that this level down here is the old daily low,

267

and again, let me take it back up to the chart on the daily chart.

268

That's this low right here, okay?

269

By dropping down into the hourly chart, that level is here.

270

All I'm doing is transposing those daily levels right to this hourly chart.

271

The entire week has been bearish.

272

Okay, it's been going lower since the beginning.

273

Then we had consolidation in here.

274

The market creates this short -term high and this short -term low.

275

What rests above that short -term high?

276

If you've taken notes and been paying attention, it's buy stops.

277

What's resting below this low here?

278

Sell stops.

279

Watch closely.

280

The market trades down initially and takes out the sell stops.

281

Why would it do that first?

282

this is inducing shorts okay so it engineers liquidity even

283

if the idea is that they want to take the market down to this level

284

if it's been consolidating

285

I like to see them do this type of move here where it drops down first

286

it's kind of like a sucker play anybody has a sell stop below here

287

they want to sell on weakness they're gonna get tripped into the marketplace

288

So now they're triggered in short and then they start doing a run against those traders and

289

Against those that were already short from this high.

290

So what are they doing?

291

The markets being driven higher and the algorithms are going to attack that by stock liquidity pool

292

Why would they want to do that number one?

293

It's going to punish those individuals here that went short

294

When it drives it up above this high here it sends all those spy stops into

295

market orders flooding the marketplace

296

that gives a huge influx of willing buyers at a high price

297

which is the perfect counterparty to smart money

298

that wants to sell at a high price remember the market wants to go down here

299

so when it drives up to here those buy stops are the counterparty

300

or the other side of a smart money trader that's wanting to go short

301

because they're gonna sell short they got to sell

302

it to somebody wants to buy the high price

303

that's why the market does this okay in your notes

304

you want to record any time a significant price move lower

305

is expected always anticipate some measure of a stop hunt on buy stops

306

or short -term high being taken out obviously it's reversed

307

when you're looking for higher prices generally you'll see a short -term low taken out

308

and sell stops taken before you see a very pronounced rally higher.

309

Don't take my word for it.

310

Go through to your charts and you'll see it's actually occurring almost on a daily basis.

311

So we're going to drop down into a 15 minute time frame.

312

So that same old low level down here and

313

that high I just mentioned on the hourly chart

314

and the low on the hourly chart has now been defined with a small little line segment.

315

Okay.

316

So we have a trend line here

317

and a trend line here that's the extent of a trend line

318

that's it I only use them to highlight to my students these levels are not on my chart

319

I'm watching a naked chart okay you

320

while you're developing you should have these levels drawn out in your chart

321

because it helps you build and ingrain the idea

322

that this is where liquidity is it keeps you focused on

323

that because it's easy to look at all these candles forming

324

if you have the luxury of watching it in life and you can lose sight of where you are.

325

I mean once you lose your bearings it's really confusing and this helps you keep those bearings in mind.

326

And what do I mean by that?

327

Well I mentioned how the market dropped down initially and that takes the sell stops out.

328

So sell side liquidity has been attacked.

329

Traders are now tripped in going short if they sold on a break trying to be a breakout artist.

330

And then the algorithms go right back up to an area

331

where it's been cleanly delivered relative equal highs see how this high here right before

332

it dropped is basically the same high here notice that

333

so retail traders see this and they trust it as what resistance

334

so the books always say put your buy stop

335

if you're gonna go short right above

336

and clear level of resistance well these levels work for a short period of time

337

but majority of the time you see this event right here

338

and this is how I teach my students to go in

339

and look for those types of events because what did I just tell you moments ago about looking for significant price moves

340

Before there's a significant price move of any real magnitude or importance,

341

generally there's going to be a stop hunt that takes place right before that price delivery occurs.

342

So what does it look like?

343

You have relative equal highs, this high and this high.

344

The market goes up when we're what?

345

We're expecting lower prices on that weekly chart.

346

We're on the last day of the week.

347

It's already been heavy.

348

It's weak.

349

And the only thing it's been doing is consolidate.

350

And the first thing it did was broke out to the downside.

351

Tripping what? traders in a breakout to go short.

352

So now they have traders caught on the wrong side, offside, and now they want to take the market up here where

353

those buy stops are going to be resting for those

354

that were smart enough to sell short here or here and didn't get out below here.

355

So the larger pool of liquidity is going to be resting here

356

because it's in sync with the downtrend and everybody that was short the day before,

357

they seen this high form and once it broke below this low here, they all rushed and trailed their stop loss right above that

358

and I understand if you're new

359

and you think well this is easy to explain in hindsight

360

but I want to remind you go back

361

and look at the first slide I showed you those were actual entries

362

that's a live account through thinkorswim Charles Schwab that was the clearing firm

363

that did the brokers side of the business okay

364

so I'm not showing you a demo account I'm not showing you paper trading

365

that those were real entries okay they were real reversals the whole business

366

but the main thing was i showed you

367

that larger trade this is going to be the framework

368

that i'm teaching you how to find it okay

369

but this pool of liquidity once this occurs you want to drop down to your lower time frames

370

and start looking for something specific and let's go into those lower time frames

371

and find out what

372

that is okay here's a two minute chart why a two minute chart well two minute one minute

373

or three minute or five, five minutes still has a lot of room for imbalances to occur underneath that timeframe.

374

And what I mean by that, the one minute, two minute, three minute chart tends to be the best for finding the imbalances for indices.

375

Okay.

376

Don't take my word for that.

377

Okay.

378

If you're looking for high frequency setups intraday, the one, two or three minute chart are just beautiful.

379

They just offer a real good clarity.

380

The reason why, because the high frequency trading algorithms are operating on nothing really higher than three minutes.

381

The majority of the time, they're like seconds.

382

Okay.

383

15 seconds, 30 seconds, 45 seconds, 60 second intervals.

384

Okay.

385

And what they're looking for are these small little imbalances.

386

And what does that look like?

387

Well, we have that run on the buy stops here.

388

Okay.

389

Remember that old high here, the old high here, old high here.

390

It runs right on through that.

391

once this occurs on

392

that higher time frame 15 -minute time frame you want to drop down to the lower time frames

393

and I'm using the two -minute chart

394

because this is exactly what I was using to find that imbalance and trade off of it okay

395

the market creates a short -term low here and then it breaks below

396

that this is key this is called a break in market structure now the foundations

397

and underlying framework is we're in a market that's what weekly bearish we're expecting

398

that weekly candle to expand lower it's been expanding all week

399

so we have momentum on our side we have a consolidation that's occurred

400

and we had a pool of liquidity engineered with these relative equal highs

401

and the market broke out to the downside first and then they ran on the highs so once it went here,

402

we don't rush in there just go short because it went above old highs.

403

We're looking for some specific signature that tips its hand to you.

404

Okay?

405

And I promise you, when you start going through your charts and it's going to be homework for you,

406

you're going to see this occurring almost every single day.

407

And if it's not doing it this way, it's doing it the opposite direction as a buy.

408

Okay?

409

Again, don't take my word for it.

410

You're going to be flabbergasted.

411

You know what I got?

412

Flabbergasted

413

when you see how many times this thing forms every single week okay

414

it's many times throughout the intraday charts it creates this type of move

415

but it runs the stops then we have a short term low

416

and then it breaks below it

417

so now we have a break in market structure okay once

418

this low is broken you're gonna look for this little area here that's

419

that imbalance I mentioned in the beginning right

420

so what's happening is the market's gonna go right up inside that area there and that's where you want to sell.

421

Now, if you don't sell there, you can drop down to a lower timeframe, one minute chart.

422

If this was a three minute chart,

423

you can go down to a one minute chart and look for that to occur on that timeframe as well.

424

And it many times will form if you're looking at a lower timeframe,

425

like to say this was a five minute chart and you looked at a one minute chart, you'd find one down in here.

426

It's a matter of scaling down in your timeframes because once you have an underlying.

427

premise to the market now likely to go lower, it becomes an easy thing to look for these types of things.

428

So in your chart, once you're developing this idea and learning it, you're going to highlight this candle's low,

429

this candle's high, and this right here is what I teach my students as a fair value gap.

430

You don't have those in books.

431

You don't have any of that kind of stuff out there.

432

It's something I introduced back in 2016.

433

And obviously, a lot of people discovered how good it is and they try to make courses with it.

434

But I'm going to not touch that right here.

435

But the idea is once it go up into that imbalance there, and once it does that, as soon as it enters that area,

436

the algorithm that delivers price.

437

Now, some of you may not know what that means.

438

And some of you may not even agree with it you may think that this is made up or it's contrived.

439

I promise you, if you spend time with this,

440

you're going to quickly come to the conclusion that there absolutely is an algorithm and it's manipulating the markets every single day, every single tick.

441

It's completely controlled.

442

Okay.

443

Period.

444

You're led to believe it's buying and selling pressure.

445

Now, if I go back and use that analogy where it went down here first, then go up here, some of you may argue,

446

see, that's the buying and selling pressure.

447

No, it's not.

448

It's liquidity.

449

Now, you may argue and say, well, we're arguing semantics.

450

No, I'm telling you what's going on.

451

This is the logic.

452

This is how these markets book.

453

Okay.

454

Once you see these patterns over and over and over again, it's very easy to execute on them.

455

But the impulse to want to do it the first time you see it, because you watch this video,

456

that is going to be problematic for you.

457

So you're going to have to do a certain number of weeks and months of backtesting.

458

There's no escaping that.

459

You have to do it any skill set, any teacher, educator, system, whatever, okay, whatever they're going to give you,

460

there's going to be some kind of growing period where you have to trial and error, fix the problems that you have about yourself.

461

And I've literally taken your attention to a very specific framework and setup.

462

Notice that?

463

Some of you may think I'm still talking too much, but I'm taking you right into the heart of the matter.

464

This is what it looks like.

465

This is what you're looking for okay these are the fingerprints of that setup these repeat

466

so if you know what they are and what those components are

467

that make up this setup you'll be able to find them

468

but focus on the imbalance after the market structure breaks

469

so this big candle here it breaks down look at the next candle opens

470

and trades higher and stops right there so from this candles low

471

and this candles high when this candle starts trading as soon as it opens and it runs right up into that, that's a short.

472

You can go right in there, sell short, be done.

473

Now, where's your stock going to be?

474

Well, you can put it above this high here, or you can put it above this candles high, whichever your risk parameters allow for.

475

Okay.

476

If you're trading the micro, which is again, it's not a lot of money per tick.

477

So the multiplier for that is very small.

478

If you trade the larger full futures contract, and if it moves a hundred your points and they could do it real quick,

479

it can bring you pretty bad.

480

So you may have the leverage to trade with a discount broker.

481

Okay.

482

You may have the initial margin to trade with a discount broker, but you may not have the wherewithal and the skillset to navigate this market.

483

And that's the only thing I'm trying to provide here as an alternative

484

because there's a lot of individuals out there that will promote the idea

485

that you can go out there with a discount broker and just clean up.

486

Yeah.

487

If you know what you're doing, but you don't need a discount broker to be profitable okay looking at this further

488

we're gonna look at the logic in here

489

and I want you to think about after this forms

490

and you see that as your choice setup or entry

491

if it starts to move lower you can still get in it there's no reason not to think

492

that you know you can't get in it here

493

or in here it's close to or in close proximity to where that area is as an entry.

494

Once we take out a low though, once that occurs, then it becomes a matter of your chasing price.

495

And if you try to get in, especially if you like use a market order, you may see it trade right to this low and say,

496

okay, now I believe it's going to go down.

497

You put a market order and sell short and then slippage gets you down here.

498

And that creates a larger area of risk that you have to assume.

499

And it's just, it's problematic.

500

You want to learn to trust going short when the market's going higher.

501

And And that feels scary at first.

502

But once you start seeing this pattern form, it becomes easy to trust it.

503

And in fact, you want to be doing that.

504

You want to be selling short, expecting lower prices right when the candle is going up.

505

And retail traders can't grasp that many times.

506

It's just like it goes against the logic because they think, I got to have confirmation.

507

All the books say I have to have confirmation.

508

and that's somebody that's coming in late that's someone

509

that doesn't have a read price they can't really follow it

510

and usually they're the people

511

that will trade short with additional shelf you know sell stops they'll put sell stops below the marketplace

512

and then that's the momentum entry for them

513

and it's kind of like a no -brainer in fast markets yeah it works

514

but if you don't know what you're doing you try to do

515

that in a market that's consolidating

516

or about the reverse it hands you your backside okay so

517

if you're looking at this framework here and we've taken the buy stops we

518

We have our entry pattern here.

519

What would you be looking for as a downside objective?

520

Well, I'm going to teach you the liquidity matrix.

521

Okay.

522

And sounds pretty cool.

523

Sounds neat and all that, but watch what it is.

524

This here is your range.

525

This is the low of the day and this is the high of the day thus far.

526

So if we take that range and split it from the low to the high to get the midpoint,

527

all of this can be determined by a simple 50 level on a Fibonacci.

528

So you drag your fib from this high down to that low or vice versa and have your 50 level highlighted.

529

Then anything above that 50 level, this is referred to from an algorithmic stance as a premium market.

530

It means it's expensive.

531

Now, markets can stay in a premium for a while and not go to a discount, which would be below the 50 point.

532

Okay, 50 percent.

533

Anything down here is a discount.

534

If you're bearish, if you're ever going short, you want to look at the previous range.

535

Where are you at inside that range?

536

So when this formed here, that little fair value gap, once that formed, you're thinking, okay, we are in a premium.

537

So algorithms will want to go to a discount.

538

That's the opposing side of the marketplace.

539

So if it's going short here, it's driving the market lower.

540

What does that mean?

541

The algorithm is going to start pricing lower.

542

You can have all the buyers in the world come in.

543

If the algorithm is in a sell program and it's going lower, it does not matter.

544

It's going to reprice lower and lower and lower.

545

And then what will happen is those buyers that may come in with a huge influx of volume,

546

they're going to get crushed and they get squeezed.

547

You ever hear that term, oh, this is a bear squeeze.

548

This is a bull squeeze.

549

All that is an excuse for them not to know why the algorithm is doing what it's doing.

550

That's it.

551

That's all it is.

552

It's an out.

553

Okay, I'm telling you this is what's really going on

554

So the markets moving from this premium high this specific entry point to a level below the 50 of

555

This range this low and this high now I want you to again go back

556

and rewind the video once we're done and look at that execution

557

Page where I showed you my entries going back and forth up

558

and down up and down and where I got out at where I got in at okay

559

I I want you to think about what below this level here, the 50 level, what is resting below here?

560

Sell stops.

561

So now think about the idea of someone like you and I that would see this ideal entry as a short.

562

We have to sell to get in that short.

563

How do we get out of that short?

564

We gotta buy it back or cover it by buying.

565

Well, we're gonna find willing sellers at a low price relative to this point here,

566

they're willing already sitting down there with their sell stocks right below that low.

567

Now look closely.

568

What else resides right near that low? Do you see it?

569

Pause the video before I show it to you

570

because it kind of ruins the experience because if you find it and I don't tell it, it feels good.

571

Right there is that imbalance I mentioned okay it's only one single candle passing up

572

and the previous candles high and the next candles low that area right there is an imbalance

573

from this area here it went down below the 50 level

574

and attacked these sell stops and completely closed in this imbalance

575

so every point of this candles high to this candles low

576

that range with the camera only going up that's a buy side imbalance

577

it has to have an equal delivery to be efficiently priced

578

and booked by the algorithm it goes down

579

and completely closes it back in with down movement notice the candle on this here it opens

580

and then trades down

581

so it fulfills its role of balancing the buy side offering now the sell side offering

582

so that is an efficiently delivered price move precision elements from the entry here down to here.

583

Everything else after that for the rest of the day I didn't care about.

584

Even though I had an objective of that old daily low, I wasn't expecting it to run into this particular day.

585

And that's why I didn't participate anymore the rest of the day.

586

In hindsight, I wish I would have left a small position on and just let it go, but...

587

you're going to have that.

588

You're never going to be right about everything all the time, every single day.

589

You're going to leave things on the table.

590

You're going to get in too early.

591

You're going to hold too long.

592

You're not going to buy enough or you're not going to sell enough.

593

There's always going to be some reasons why you didn't do something right.

594

So don't beat yourself up about it.

595

Okay.

596

But if you can find elements like this repeating in the price action, can you agree with me that that is amazing precision?

597

And this is the logic I used to do that trade, the very trade that I showed you

598

that was the largest one in the example of saying which one would you rather learn how to do.

599

I basically just handed you an ATM machine.

600

This repeats every single week.

601

Every single week.

602

Now I want you to count the number of the handles in this move.

603

let's say you got in at uh well this say

604

you got an 800 14 800 it's starting to go down

605

you trust it okay we're going to go short ideally you want to enter as it goes into

606

that but it's going to take time for you to trust

607

that but let's say you got into 14 800

608

if you got out down here like i did i exited as it went right to the top of

609

that range right here this range here that's the top of it.

610

Once it went below that, that was it for me.

611

That closed the trade. Is that five handles?

612

Is that 10 handles?

613

Is that 20 handles?

614

Is that 30 handles?

615

Is that 50 handles?

616

No, it's over a hundred and some.

617

Now let's assume for a moment that you get good at this, or I get the inclination

618

that I want to go to some kind of a deep discount broker

619

and I go in and I do trades like this and I'm putting on 15 to 25 full futures contracts.

620

What do you think the results are going to be?

621

Yep.

622

So not everything is going to be easy right away.

623

And you're not going to see these things happen just because you sit in front of the charts.

624

You have to study and you have to practice.

625

And by experience of looking at old moves and watching real price action as best as you can, if you can't watch it live,

626

TradingView has a replay button where you can watch the candles kind of form,

627

but they're a little stilted because it's not completely painting the candle.

628

Okay, and you can't practice with entering like that.

629

You can only just study how price moved and gravitated towards certain levels.

630

It's the best thing you can have if you at least consider doing that much, that's good.

631

But if you really want to take it to the next level

632

and say you're running a business or if you're going to school

633

or you have a job

634

and you can't watch the time frame around the opening of the index features

635

and I like watching it around 8 30 in the morning

636

New York local time to 11 o 'clock there's usually a setup in there

637

that I'm going to be able to find obviously you see I did multiple setups and

638

executions today but the point is this that's like

639

that sweet little spot in the morning that I focus on I teach

640

that in this YouTube channel I teach it in my paid mentorship group

641

so you're getting real stuff here it's not something

642

that was contrived I didn't just make it up because this day worked out in my favor.

643

My students recognize these things also.

644

And these are simple elements that repeat.

645

What you're looking for is a run on liquidity, buy stops or sell stops.

646

If you're bearish, you're looking for buy stops to be ran.

647

Then a break in market structure, lower, a short term low being broken.

648

That's what it looks like right here.

649

Short term swing low.

650

We have a candle high.

651

I'm sorry, a candle higher to the left with with its low here,

652

then you have the low of this candle and the next candle is higher low than this one.

653

So you have a swing low formed.

654

If you have that and then you have a break below that, if it happens that creates a gap like this, that's what you're looking for.

655

When it trades up into that, you can go short.

656

Or if you want to use sell stops, you can use a sell stop in this candle here

657

and just let it trip you in and then use the high of

658

that candle as your stop that may be too wide for you.

659

But I mentioned the logic around this is you're using a micro.

660

Micros aren't that big of a deal.

661

It's not a lot of money.

662

You're not risking a full futures leverage.

663

It's very, very small.

664

So if you're looking at these types of setups and you can find them forming repeatedly over and over and over again,

665

and you study them, you're going to see

666

that you don't need to get these little five handle moves these little ten handle moves

667

you can make a living doing

668

that don't get me wrong I'm not trying to say

669

that people cannot be profitable and wildly profitable but when you learn how to do something like this

670

And you're able to pull down this number of handles.

671

And then you have sound money management.

672

Nothing compares to it, folks.

673

These are the things that I use when you watched

674

when I was on Twitter and I ran up the demo accounts really high.

675

These are the types of setups I was using.

676

These types of setups.

677

And as the account grew, it was more demo account leverage.

678

Well, I'm not using a demo account right now.

679

I'm showing you with a thinkorswim and anybody that knows Thinkorswim, when I'm showing you those screenshots, the paper trading shows as orange.

680

Everything on that page is orange.

681

When it's a live account, it's green.

682

Also, here's the rub.

683

With a demo account, it's just demo, demo, demo, demo.

684

I'm not trying to promote the idea that you're going to get rich.

685

Notice that account hasn't gone bonkers.

686

It hasn't ran up to a million dollars

687

because this mentorship is to hopefully inspire you to pick up a skill

688

that if you deem it useful and you decide at your own discretion

689

and your own timing and you assume that risk on your own

690

because i'm not going to tell you to do this

691

if you decide to get really good at this

692

and you put money behind it that's a skill set

693

that could i'm not promising

694

but it could alleviate some of the problems with what i

695

believe is coming in terms of financial hardship not just in America but everywhere.

696

Jobs are getting harder and harder to have.

697

The economy's a mess.

698

So how do we answer that?

699

How do we get another income stream coming in?

700

This is, in my opinion, this is one of the ways that you can at least investigate the idea of doing it.

701

All right.

702

So I'm going to give you some homework in closing.

703

I want you to go through all of the E -mini futures contract charts.

704

Okay.

705

Just like I showed you here, these timeframes, go back and look at the presentation

706

and see what the timeframes I gave you listen to what I gave you in terms of audio commentary

707

that is enough in fact I gave you a ton

708

and it may have your head spinning if you're brand new to me

709

or if you're brand new to technical analysis

710

or trading you may feel like this is too fast do not send me an email

711

I promise you the lessons I have planned will help eliminate

712

and answer majority of the things you're gonna ask just try to study

713

and keep up with the pace that I'm gonna put you through

714

which isn't going to be all that bad

715

but as we progress deeper into the teachings many of the questions

716

that are going to come up or

717

when you start going into the homework assignment where you're looking

718

at old data an intraday chart is anything less than a daily chart

719

so like a four -hour chart that's intraday one hour chart

720

that's intraday five minute three minute two minute one minute all

721

those time frames are intraday what you're going to be looking

722

for are breaks in market structure after a pool of liquidity okay buy stops

723

or sell stops have been taken in an opposing direction of your weekly expected range.

724

In other words, are you expecting higher prices or lower prices on the weekly range?

725

So if you're looking for lower prices, your focus is on a run above an old high.

726

Once that forms, then you're looking for a break in market structure on a lower timeframe.

727

Once that occurs and you have an imbalance, that's your trigger.

728

Okay?

729

And then you split that range that was created, find out where the 50 % is.

730

And then if you're selling short, you want to find something like an old low or an imbalance to aim for as your target.

731

And you want to get the closest target.

732

Don't try to get fancy and say,

733

okay, well, I think it's going to go down to that lowest low and try to use that for your exit.

734

Because sometimes these markets can deny you that.

735

So low hanging fruit is how I teach.

736

You want to have the easiest target

737

and then allow the market to go farther and you just not be a part of it.

738

It's okay.

739

Is 125, 130 handles in an index not good enough?

740

I think it's good enough, but I'm probably just biased.

741

But the homework assignment is, again, you're going through the charts using the logic I framed in this introduction lesson, looking for breaking market structure.

742

I also have lessons in this YouTube channel that talks about market structure breaks and things like that.

743

And then you're going to look for the imbalance in price, which is that fair value gap.

744

Then you're going to determine where an opposing high or low resides, then log and backtest the number of handles you see in hindsight examples.

745

In other words, how much did it offer?

746

And you're going to get a collection of doing that.

747

The next lesson, I'm actually going to show you how to go back into the charts and look for them,

748

how to log them in your journal, and give you more insights about how you can find these setups

749

that repeat every single week okay

750

so again I'm going to build on this foundation in the next episode the next episode will be next Tuesday

751

and the time upload will be 10 o 'clock New York local time hopefully

752

you've enjoyed this one until I talk to you next time I wish you good luck and good trading

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
