Good afternoon and welcome back to the touchline on Y254. Of course, it's the fan favorite segment, the fan zone, and we're discussing about the fixtures lined up today, understand Manchester United will be up against Chelsea at 7.30 pm. Sugar is celebrating, hoping that they will continue with their good form against PSG in midweek champions league and win against Chelsea. It's at all odd and remember two hours early, of course, it's the classical Real Madrid against Barcelona. People are saying on Twitter that how come since Cristiano Ronaldo left Spanish La Liga, there's no hype and marketing as far as this game is concerned. Josaina alongside Maureen Budoni are joining us. Maureen, good to see you long time, two years down the line. Where have you been? Long time.  We grow, we grow. So I had taken a break, there are things that I had to do, life happens. So that is settled, now we are here and we catch up and the show continues as it used to. Congratulations and we don't disclose details as to why I'm congratulating you.  People are saying that they are not being recognized, no talent is being nurtured. What's happening in your hometown? I think it's just mismanagement. We have been talking about grass roots and how grass roots should be developed. Unfortunately, when election time comes, is when you start having small mini tournaments here and there, but from the politicians... Price money is 10,000. Yeah, not even the aspirants, the politicians who have been there. You know, you have a cabinet secretary, you have a sports department, but you look at the infrastructure, you look also at the contribution to the society. It's a failure to be honest and I hope they do change, but if they don't, we will bring up the change because as the people of Narok, we want a better management of sports and all inclusivity of the youth. But as for now, the struggle resumes. The case in point is, you know, the brother's team who participates in 4x4 challenge off-road event, of course Deepakre and his brother Manish, despite the last services they offered, five years down the line no payment and they have been doing the county proud by representing them. And you see that, we talk about tourism and sports being hand in hand. Once you bring certain sports to a place like Narok, which is next to the Masaimara, you promote the tourism, you promote the economic growth. But however, when you get certain individuals who decide that they are not going to pay up and who decide they are going to play cut and mouse games with a team like Wazim, whereby they are just trying to make sure that Narok is seen as a destination for 4x4 sporting, for rugby, for football, for netball. Every other game, even cross country, but once an institution does not recognize that it's doomed for failure, it's very unfortunate. And of course talking about Deepakre is a good friend of course, our condolences as he continue mourning the death of his mother who passed on last weekend at Empisha in Nairobi, of course due to land complications. A good man when it comes to matters, rhino charge and off road championship coming from Narok, doing very well as far as the 4x4 challenge in Champaing Park at Kipeto is concerned. Of course those of us who are proud to be attending those high end events, I'm kidding anyway. Morin, good to see you so let's talk about international football. First of all the anti-police protests in Nigeria, we've seen only on Igalo the United Ford alongside Periamu Rikobumayang, the arsenal condemning what is happening. How well can football be used to bring to an end the situation in Nigeria? It is very unfortunate, Maxwell, that an African country in this day and age has gotten to that using force and executing its own citizens. It's really unfortunate and it's good to see. One thing about football is that it's not just a sport, it embodies the whole humanity and the good thing with these footballers is that they have a certain reach, they have a following of their own. So using their voice to let know what is happening is important. I have also seen one besaka coming out strongly and saying, look, as much as we are doing this we need to stop. We also have these things happening, not only in Nigeria, even in Congo, only that in Congo it hasn't been as publicized as it has in Nigeria and it's very, very unfortunate. What I like about these footballers is that they realize that as much as we are getting our life on in a different continent, as much as we are in Europe, Africa is our root. Most of them are not even like born Africa or so. They just associate themselves with their countries and it's important that they use the platform they have because they have a huge reach. They use the voice that they have because they tend to be listened to. The police will see it's not just us, the Nigerians citizens that are concerned, it's not getting the global attention. And once they do that, they have a following and you never know your voice, his voice, Igalo's voice, Baili's voice. Once it comes together, you never know to what destinations it reaches and I'm glad that they are not ignoring what is happening in Nigeria and they are speaking against it as much as anybody else would because it's really brutal and it needs to stop. So we have to keep hashtagging to Nigerian protest. Joe, you know, besides being a football on the pitch, there are those things, there is immense contribution you should play as a soccer star of football. Like what Marcus Rashford is doing, trying to push the UK Parliament to ensure that free lunch is given to the poor and the needy. Of course he's been praised, he's been given an MBE for easy last years work of the sporting scene. Do you think the entire global world, just like Mureen Putitif, joins hand football world, then the situation that is happening in Nigeria will be something of the past because we've seen a lot of superstars despite, you know, they are a scintillating kind of play on the pitch, they rarely talk about what is happening off pitch. Christiano Ronaldo, you will find him rarely talking about what is happening in Nigeria. But now is it high time footballers join hands? Yeah, I do believe so because if you look at this movement that is happening right now in the Premier League, not racism, okay, and they are taking a bow or they are taking a knee, there is this idea of even black Europeans or black American coaches being pushed to higher levels in the coaching system. If just the UEFA and FIFA can combine and say no to what is happening in Nigeria, it can go a long way in making sure that whatever is happening in Nigeria stops. It doesn't stop, it will be a proper movement. You put in the African Union, you put in again the Asian Union in terms of sporting, in terms of the football, combine them together and say no to what is happening. Unfortunately, the world is not as we would want it to be whereby not people are very individualistic in terms of their opinions on what is happening in other areas and they do not want to get involved. Remember, these footballers also have sponsors, the likes of Adidas, the likes of Nike, the likes of Under Armour. Those sponsors or those corporations do not want to be involved in any world politics or economical politics. This wants to make sure that their brand is seen, we are selling our brand.  Other matters please keep away and that's the unfortunate bit about world-class footballers. Last night, Bamford scored a heartbreak against Aston Villa. Despaid what they did to Liverpool, a huge demolition got them in the hands of newly promoted leads united under Marcelo Bielz. A team that has been doing very well, are they the new Sheffield United or probably want to wonder as who will finish in top 10 immediately after their promotion because they are doing pretty well. You remember how they started the league campaign with three all against reigning champions Liverpool. And Marcelo, that's the beauty of the Premier League. You exactly cannot predict what is going to happen in whichever game. When that game started, leads versus Aston Villa, you almost could feel like this is a team that had beaten Liverpool for how many goals, they hit Liverpool for seven. So you'd almost think it's going to be straight forward for them but obviously now it happens, it happens the opposite. What I like about these teams that are getting promoted is they come with a certain mentality that as much as this is the Premier League and it's the epitome of football, we have a chance, we fought through a championship and here we are and they fight it with the whole spirit. It's not about the big names for them, it's not about the stadium, it's not about football. For them they play for the badge and that's the beauty of this game. Leeds United had struggled in the championship but it also came through very well. If you have a small history with Leeds United, you realize this is a big club, it's not just another wigan or so to say. It used to be a dominant force in the 90s, face to face with Manchester United. So it's been like 16 years since they were relegated and now that they have come back up, I'm extremely pleased to see them play in such a style. It's not just about scoring goals or what they play with a certain swagger and it's entertaining to watch a Leeds game. It came against Liverpool in the first game and they are not afraid to give it a go. It was very unfortunate that they drew 3-3 but at the end of the game they had to lose. They haven't let that get into them and I'm excited about Bamford, I'm excited about Aston Villa. You can see combination what Greenleash is doing in Aston Villa. I'm happy that that boy signed a new contract. I understand he was wanted by another club somewhere but he put pen to paper and said, you know what, I'm committed to this club. Aston Villa almost went down. Actually almost at the final game last season. So for him to say now this is home, he's a villa boy, villa park is home and to pay that contract. For me that's important because it also shows that besides money, you know, players will go here chasing money but Greenleash says besides money I'm here to play for this badge and that sort of encourages the team. So big up to Aston Villa, the arrival of Rosbaki has also helped them because that combination is also working out very well. Leeds again also to see the Argentinian also coming up with strong against very strong team. I'm also excited. So the league is wide open.  Joe, when you are starting the campaign of English Premier League we mentioned about Marcelo Bielsa and his pedigran reputation, how he's among the top coaches in the world despite having been the championship coaching a team in the sky that but now he's back in top flight and you remember a lot of words of praise for him from you know veteran coaches Alex Fagasoni, Senvenga, Jose Mourinho, a lot of huge respect for him from these also equally high profile coaches. I don't know what will be his impact in APL. It's going to be major obviously. I looked at if we go back to the game that they first played with Liverpool the 3-3. Yes. He came in with a 4-1, 4-1 formation. Skeptics will say it's a very defensive formation but he played to his strengths and just the same way he played last night to his strengths. Win formation, counter attack. When you don't have the ball, you defend in numbers. When you have the ball, they go ahead. Bamfordos, at every time that ball was going to the win, Bamfordos were already in front and he was being criticized that he can't take this team and so they brought in Rodrigo but now they've realized that they can use Bamford in this style of play and still use Rodrigo in the possession style of play. Why? Because Rodrigo holds up the ball and can easily distribute it to any of the attacking midfielder. So he's bringing in something different. Pep Guardiola actually said the revolution of set up formation in terms of formation set play that Beals has brought to the game is second to none. He even quoted very few people can even talk about what he's done against the likes of John Cruyff who brought the Cruyff system against the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson who believed in the 4-4-2 system. So you look at it at what Beals is going to do this season with Leeds and it's really unfortunate that I believe a bigger team will come after him. And that is not withstanding that the gentleman cannot even speak a word of English, you know? And hopefully we'll learn. So Arsenal are up against Leicester tomorrow. They just won in Europa League but predicaments of one Mesut Ozil continues. He took to Twitter explaining the situation at the Emirates how he's been left out of the team that will play the entire season in English. Premier League by coach Mikael Ateta. You know, a lot of tribulations surrounding Ozil. You remember his frustrations at the national team when German performed horribly bad during the World Cup and of course the attendance by Turkish Prime Minister during his wading that fueled animosity and his condemnation of how Muslims were being mistreated in China. So a lot of talking points surrounding Mesut Ozil earning 300,000 pounds per week but not playing active football for the last few months just being left out of the squad day in, day out and he's decided to speak out. Is he seeking sympathy from the fans? Is he realistic that it's high time, you know? He gets playing time? One thing you have to agree, Maxwell, it's that this is not suddenly happening to Ozil. It has been a gradual decline from when he came to Rio and he was an excellent player. Then he went declining, declining down there. And once Arsenal left because Arsenal for some reason had a sympathetic eye for Mesut. I remember a certain interview that Aaron Ramsey was given before he went to Juventus and he was saying that he was like the sort of the teacher's pet like every time you'd see Ozil with Venga he was in the office asking for this, asking for that. He was the player who was getting extra days off and here and like that. So once Venga left, I feel like that's when it all now started realizing that, oh, this is the Premier League. He doesn't have the physicality that the Premier League demands. Ozil's armour was the creativity that he had and that's what he had going for him. So when Unai Emery came in, he looked at him, gave him a few games here and there and then gradually Ozil just went into deteriorating and then Ateta comes in. So what happens? This player is starting to use the sympathetic card. You remember he's on at 350. I think he's the most highly paid Arsenal player as we speak. 350 a week, that's not small money. And what he's trying to do, you see that he's saying, as we are going to lay off 12 players and the 13th player is going to be our mascot. So they're saying, and Ozil comes out strongly and says, you know what, as long as I'm Arsenal player, I'm going to get money for the mascot so he doesn't have to go. And that sort of creates a kama day with his fans and they feel like this guy isn't too bad.  I think his mother or someone has some tacky shoots. So the same way you cannot say, gala not to associate himself with Africa, is the same way again you cannot come in and tell Ozil, now look you have to disregard your roots and this is Germany, this is England. So that whole scenario for him appearing with the Turkish guys didn't really come off as something that you need to bring now onto the pitch. However influence it had, Ozil also speaks strongly against the Muslims reaction and all that, and all that. I don't think all that had anything to do with the situation on the pitch because as much as you are a player, so why is he allowing the likes of Aubameyang, the likes of Lacazette, the likes of if you are a player, in that 25 months code, why is it that I'll look at it and say, now you know what, Ozil is not a player, I want to bring on, it's because of his attitude. How committed is he to this team? It's because of his body language. Once you see Ozil on the field, you're almost likely to say, ah this team is gonna lose because he's not as committed to this club as everybody else. As much as he's trying to do damage control on social media and pulling out that PR card, it's not coming out right for me because as a player you need to do the talking on the pitch. Let people judge you. Let, don't come out strongly, I mean, saying why you need to be on this code. Let the manager have a headache of why you shouldn't be on this code. Just before we get Joe's opinion on the same, of course, messages coming in through Eman Jens from Mombasa, hello guys, I'm team Man United all the way, all the teams are called United when you win. Best of luck boys rest in peace Chelsea FC. Wow, very true. Two, three, in favor of Man United. United is the big team. Chelsea will beat them as usual. That's Eman Jens. He looks ahead at support of United. Matthew Beth Kaptele, watching live from Kaptele. Nanti, thank you man for watching. Keep your predictions coming through as well. What do you think about the upcoming fixtures? Naivasha Kamere is well represented. This is Achi. Best Tuavashu. Rashbashir Warewa. Busia also watching from Busia Charitymina. Tuned from Nakuru. Of course, you keep them coming through. Let's talk about what is happening to Ozil, his tribulations as well. Princess Kenya from Darasha, Georgia tuned watching live from Miss Yolo. The earphones. Weirupol from Nyeri. So a lot of messages coming through hashtag, touchline, Y255, Y255 channel at Rosike Maxwell. We're still talking about Mesut Ozil. Do you think Mikaela takes beyond him and maybe its boardroom position to have Ozil out of play and maybe we're just blaming Mikaela straight over nothing? I think let's take things back. Because Arsenal, they don't want to lose their Chinese business market following Ozil condemnation of harassment of Muslims in China. So maybe it's more to their... So if you look at it in hindsight, let's take away all this political, all this worldwide pressures that are going through Ozil. Let's put Ozil as an attacking midfielder. Ozil, we know who is an attacking midfielder. Let's go back to history. Is he still world class? We have had issues with David Beckham. We have had issues with Nicholas Anelka. We have had issues with Paul Pogba. And now we are having issues with Mesut Ozil. Okay, last year we had issues with Granit Shaka. But that again was mended even after he even bought any three reasons to the funds. Okay, point of the matter is you're paying someone 350,000 pounds to stay on the bench. This is an issue that even Sanchez had at Manchester United. So what is the way forward? You either play this game now in the cup games, which you have the FA, which you have the Europa League. He had not been named in the Europa League. Now, the other problem is what happens in January because right now the window has closed. And did you want to live? I believe he wanted to live. It's just that his wage below is very high and he did not want to take a pay cut. This is the unfortunate part. So now the international window is closed, but you still have the domestic window. Can you get a loan move? A loan move guarantees you playing time and your club will still pay your wages. Or look to January whereby you'll get a transfer, but he needs to get out of Arsenal. It is not going to get playing time. Irregardless of whatever he's done, whatever he has supported, I still believe Ozil has a lot to give to the game. His game actually, I look at it, I look at Giffy Sigitson, I look at Jack Grealish, I look at all these small players, creative players. Yes, he doesn't have the strength to mash up with the rest, but if you look at his style of play, I think he can still give some sort of percentage in terms of contributions to a team. But he has to move very fast because remember his age is not again for him. That guy is like that, too. Is it so he has to he has to really move fast because does he have a lot of playing time left for him? The Celia will be good for him. And because time is not on our side and we don't want to exhaust the issue of Meshutu Ozil, of course a lot of fixtures lined up this particular afternoon. Western, up against Manchester City and Michelle Antonio. Of course he's been in sublime form of late. He's scoring. The goal is scored on 17th minute. That goal, that game is currently underway and it looks like Western want to pull a surprise against, you know, the 80 hat best club. And of course Fulham will play against Crystal Palace later on then United up against Chelsea at 7.30. Well, it is it is a matter of form. OK, it's a matter of form much senator that going to this game having won two games. OK, Chelsea going to this game having defensive frolities. It has been documented that you put in too many new players into a team. You will have problems when they stand when they can't gel together. However, they still have brillanceness going forward in terms of Chelsea. Team of Warner, they still have the presence of the defense within. Now it's a bit shaky, but I believe after the Sevilla game they are not at par as the Chelsea we know, but at the Sevilla game I believe they're going to beef up their defense. For Manchester United, we realize that Twanzebe can be a very good defender who can replace Harry Maguire. OK, now we're not disputing what Harry can do as a defender, but we can see that if something happens to Harry, we have a very good defender. Ataking wise, they are firing on all cylinders. Today Kavanie can make a debut. We can have a goal from Kavanie. All I'm saying is that this game is going to be a high scoring game. Why? Both defenses are not up to shape. Both defenses are not up to shape. United with Axel Twanzebe and Victor Lindelof looked good combination and like that of Harry Maguire who has been blowing hot on cold and people calling him a fridge, the English overrated. A lot of bad names on his name getting red card. The media, the media. You have a nation's league tie of England. So Chelsea on the other hand of course they have Tiago Silva from Paris and Germany, but their defense has also been shaky, you know, at some point the German international Anton Rudica being told to leave because he's not in the plans of Frank Lampard. You see the problem there and sorry for interjecting. And now we don't know who is the back partnership, first pair for Chelsea.  So now your central defenders are they going to be ball playing defenders or are they going to be destroyers?  Unfortunately for Rudica and for Christensen and for Zuma those are destroyers. They do not contribute to the overall gameplay. Their game plan is simple to defend. So now what is the risk? Do you pull Kante back to cover when Tiago goes forward? And who does Joginio play at that time? You see at that time is it that James will come in and Chilwell will come in to cover? It all depends on how Frank Lampard puts this team together. Unfortunately I know the Chelsea coach. But if you look at those options you would see you would rather if you're going to an attacking game like the Manchester game today you'd rather put two destroyers. Why? Because all your players will be booming for a 2-tran score. Team Havana upfront ZH behind him Mason Mount. Mason Mount on the side. Of course ZH is still side lined. Kai Havertz. And you saw what you saw again the blanders you see what Havertz the blunder he had made for that goal at the weekend. Again by the time attacking players are coming to defend and they're not used to defending you'll have a catastrophe. Let them play on the attacking end. United. Now who should they play in their midfield? Because during PSG game Paul Pogba started on the bench. He came in as a substitute. Vandebik is yet to start. Of course always coming in as a replacement but we saw Scott McTomin and Fred combining very well but every day is not Friday. Around not today. What is the approach of Olegunasolsa? Maxwell what I am excited about today is that we have come to the realization after the PSG game that you really don't have to build your defense around Magoya and that is one of the things that has been given OGS ahead of it. That this guy came with a very high price tag. Does he want to justify his decision of having to have spent all that money on this guy or does he keep him on the bench following his deep inform his international environment as he keep him on the bench and now I say let me have to do it with a different player. What I liked about the PSG game is that Axel Twanzebe comes in and then you have one Biskaka you have Lindelof and these guys actually played for that shot. Not only was our defense very solid but we also had our attack firing in all cylinders. Magtomin and Fred held that our position or you support United which is a coincidence I'm hosting two United fans. I need to tame they do. I think the Tensei fans are okay with me today. I've defended them very well. So what needs to happen today is that the problem with Chelsea now on the other hand is that as much as they have very many players that are good have they had the time to gel together and that is also giving Frank a headache because you have to see Mr. Mount has been playing out of position than what we used to see him play. Pulisic is also now again not being very accommodated very well in the squad because if Pulisic is not going to play on the left where does that leave him? Frank is playing Mount on the right so that means that Pulisic now needs to find another position where does Zier come in? Again, the combination of Harvard and Timur how well are they going to gel? What time are they going to get? But obviously we saw Timur coming in with his two goals. Something else that must be exciting Chelsea fans and we have to agree with me is that they better see Peter Cech on the on the goalpost and not see Kepa. But they have now someone has come because by the way Peter Cech has been recalled. I don't know why. Yes, what is happening is that you look at the COVID situation and I listened to Frank explaining the whole the whole situation. You look at COVID you never know what is going to happen. The goalkeepers at their hands they have Kepa who know Chelsea fan want to see they bring in Mendi and now they have they have Willy Cabello on the bench and they are three. So Peter looks at it like the way goalkeepers train they train very closely because you can't train with the social distancing and all. So what happens if all your goalkeepers go down with the virus? So he has to have an emergency backup and that's allowed because Peter Cech after leaving Arsenal he came back to Chelsea not as a player but as a technical advisor. So he's on the he's on the background telling when Mendi coaching and everything giving technical advice to the guys in the field. So even Mendi is able to learn from Cech. So if these three goalkeepers go down with the virus and Frank has no goalkeeper then you can always have Cech coming but that is not something you expect to see tomorrow. So we're just hoping that they are going to have plenty of time. So that is a boost for the Chelsea fans because the keeper was letting in every mana of goals. And so what I keep saying is that a defense is as good is as strong as the consistent back for that it has. So if you're going to have Tiago Silva playing with Plutiga or he's going to play with Zuma and Zuma is coming along very well after his loan spells. You're going to have to be consistent. If you're going to have you attackers going forward you're going to have to be consistent with the defense and that's the way they communicate with the goalkeeper. So if you're going to have Mendy in between the sticks and he has kept two clinches so far in his touch some of the Chelsea fans were not used to. So that is going to also play to play along a big grow in how the other attackers are going to go forward. And so who is Frank going to settle on as his centre backs? That's very important because those are the two players that communicate mostly with Mendy and who are going to be his wing backs because Frank want to play people who are going to to fire from the wings. So that is also now going to determine how well these Chelsea squad goes forward. Fair enough. Super Saturday it is because El Clasico is also on at 5 p.m. East African time Madrid up against Barcelona who's reading Bleacher reports yesterday and you know Gerard Pique the veteran defender is full of defense for Lionel Messi because of you know the rebuk and condemnation is receiving of late saying that people should stand by him ahead of the El Clasico and you know Cristiano Ronaldo left and you see everyone now thinks that you know Ronaldo was the hype and marketing aspect around El Clasico because a lot of football fans even don't know that there is that game today. I don't know what are the permutations? Where do you place your money? Because Barcelona is not equally doing very well and so is Real Madrid. Well Real Madrid are coming back after two losses from Cardis and also from Shachta Donesk. And the Shachta one was so embarrassing. Which was a surprise. No no it's okay it was a surprise because there were injury hits the Shachta team was not full. So you come after those two losses and Barcelona also had didn't have the best of best of fixtures when it was in the weekend but they did very well in the middle of the week this team the name of that team is really hard and I'm going to challenge anyone who has seen this right now. The team that played against FC Barcelona if you can guys can describe it please send it in to us your voice note and let's hear but it was a very good game because you would see the the interactions between Leon and Messi and Fatou and you could only see how Princiao on the right was operating continue again coming back to this code and making sure that you know what yes with the absence of Griezmann that team can still get goals with the absence of Luis Suarez Prangist actually did a very good job in the midfield but my problem is that once all this is said and done you know the grits whether it's Messi whether it's Christian Ronaldo that cannot be a topic until today we are looking at the future and the future is Vinicius Jr. in Real Madrid and Fatou in Barcelona that's where we are yes, marketing would do very well for them because they know Ronaldo and Messi have dominated Spanish football for close to a decade but now with the games going on and having this new young guys coming into the fold I'm telling you it's going to be something different for me today it's going to be a stalemate because they will be so eager to defend more Real Madrid and not lose because that will hit pressures in this incident but I expect Barcelona to play to their strengths your prediction you didn't say what you expect oh my prediction is 2-1 Barcelona 2-1 Barcelona about United Chelsea United Chelsea will be a good 3-2 to Manchester United why? because there will be so many goals and our Manchester United supporter or you're not trying to practice objectivity objectivity would be a draw but there's always 90-minute plus your predictions for LaLiga and the tie between United and Chelsea given that Real Madrid is good to Camp Nou I give that to Barcelona so they are going to win 3-1 for that so what we are over Parleni over over so coming to the Chelsea Manchester United game I also see a high score in game if you want to put your money on trash fort definitely he's going to get a goal today unfortunately we do not have Anthony Martial if Kavan is that we'll see whether he gets a goal but I give it to and I'm worried to say this because our home form has not been so good but I'm going to give it also at 3-1 Manchester United disclaimer those predictions do not necessarily reflect the position of Y-254 and if you are an invest outside there and you're placing a bet be responsible for any outcome or probably just ask for their contacts and let them be here accountable for their misleading predictions anyway it's been pleasure doing this every Saturday 1, 2, 3 touchline on Y-254 my name is Max Oluwaseke Josaina usual and residential face on the show alongside Maureen who was missing in action but she's back and back with her style of course doing this putting matters into perspective as far as what is happening in the world football is concerned let's continue talking hashtag touchline Y-254 of course West Ham again a seat is still one need in favour of the Hamas and of course let's continue talking and see what happens as time goes by of course La Liga at 5 pm Real Madrid against Barcelona and also United up against Chelsea this particular evening Leicester against Arsenal tomorrow and of course about to enjoy the football club football is back and we continue talking it's been pleasure having you on board thank you for coming through pleasure pleasure okay have a good weekend stay safe


it's like Walter White. You loved it until it turned bad. You know what I mean? Rest in peace Moffitt. I'm Krishna Sam with CalTV News and I'm standing in front of Moffitt Undergraduate Library, one of the most popular libraries here on UC Berkeley's campus. In 2016, the library reopened its doors after its first renovations in its 45-year history with a reimagined fourth and fifth floor with brighter, more vibrant and more open study spaces for students. On January 16th, 2024, the university announced additional renovations to Moffitt, much to displeasure of some students. We're fucked. Final week will be insane. It'll be people intense, out on the glade. But I just, I guess I don't understand the timeline. It just doesn't seem like it's supporting students, but it does support, I guess, sort of like school infrastructure. Why fix what's not broke, you know?   It's fun. You got whiteboards. There's a nap pot, a nap place. Well, I don't even, are there any other nap rooms on this campus? Like, I actually fell asleep reading Anna Karenina in there. Had a very lovely nap. I don't know. I think it's going to be chaos. There's, it's, it's already chaotic in Berkeley. Like, as time has gone on, the university has announced more specifics for the renovation plan. The renovation timeline has been pushed back with the closure going to come at the end of 2024, instead of at the end of this spring semester and the reopening plan for fall 2026. This new timeline is actually longer than the original timeline, which had plans for closure after the spring 2024 semester and reopening in fall 2025, which means that net extra semester has been added to the renovation. As Chef Mackie Mason, the university librarian explains, this was not always the original plan. Uh, around 2010, the original plan was developed and the plan was to renovate the whole thing all at once if they could raise enough money. Um, but the fundraising then didn't raise sufficient funds to renovate the entire building. So the plan went ahead with phase one. Similar to how the fourth and fifth floor were reimagined in 2016, the third floor and down will be reimagined through this renovation, standing in stark contrast to how Moffitt both looks now and how it used to look pre 2016.  It was really pretty awful. The entire first, second and third floor are going to be renovated into completing what we're calling the Center for Connected Learning or now the Carol T. Christ Center for Connected Learning. It's going to be an incredibly fabulous space. The whole building is going to be as nice or nicer than floors four and five. It's going to be really the prime space on campus, particularly for undergraduates. There is student support for the renovation plans given the lower floor's quality, but there remains concern of how Moffitt will be replaced in the meantime, especially due to its status as a 24 seven social library. I'm with that. Like, why is there literally airport chairs there? Yeah. Okay. I feel it. For other students, like Moffitt is like Disneyland. I know people going there and they're like getting numbers. They're pulling all nighters. They're doing assignments and like linking up.  Bro, I'm literally like, it's probably going to be like a Nike release. I don't know. Like, there really aren't any like 24 hour open places that I know in the area, but I think it's really important for students to have a space where they can, you know, eat and feel comfortable and get their shit done. I don't know. It's like a place of solace for a lot of people. I think it'll be a challenge. I mean, it's already a challenge, of course. Every campus could use more study space. We've been working with campus and, you know, alerted them to this issue some time ago, so the campus can work to develop alternative study spaces. But it's going to be a bit more squished during construction. We are will be lengthening the hours and dough to make up for some of the hours lost in Moffitt. So for instance, right now, dough library is not open on Saturdays. It will be open on Saturdays. I will also have later hours. It won't go all night, the way Moffitt does, but it will be later in the evening than it is currently. At the moment, we don't have plans to expand hours elsewhere in part because that costs money and our budgets are being cut, not increased. Epsomain stacks are another library center of the university. I'm Krishna Sam and I'll see y'all soon.


Thank you, Falstow. Welcome, everybody. You know, one of the first questions is has there been people out there that haven't seen some of my presentations? Obviously, and for no. I'm doing day trading because we're in the process. We're gonna have a weekend day trading session on how you benefit from what the candlestick signals are telling us. And it's also based upon very good entry strategies. Not so much just for day trading, which is a huge advantage, but if you're swing trading or even long-term investing. Usually when we do big training sessions, they put me first because candlesticks are like the bread and butter, the ABCs of really analyzing charts. So I started out in candlesticks 40, I hate to think how many years ago, but I always tell people back then, I was learning all the candlestick signals I could because I was greedy enough, but I wanted to know everything everything that was going on with candlesticks. And unfortunately back then there was nobody else using candlesticks. So I always tell people, I didn't have anybody to go to and get a second opinion to see if I was doing things right. The only time I was getting a second opinion was when I'd go to the doctor, I'd say, what's wrong with me? And he goes, you're fat. I said, I think I want a second opinion.  So what we're gonna do is day trading and there's 12 major signals. There's 50 or 60 candlestick signals in the candlestick universe, but we've narrowed it down to 12 over the years. Those are the 12 that you're gonna see all the time and they're gonna produce the high profit trades most of the time. I say probably 99.9% of the time. So I tell people, don't waste your mental time and energy trying to learn all of them. Just learn the 12 major signals. And then I've written three books on candlestick analysis. Easy thing to do is just go back through and browse through the other ones occasionally just so you recognize when you see a signal come up. So the most important statement of candlestick analysis is that the signals are the accumulative knowledge of everybody buying and selling during a specific timeframe. That timeframe could be a one minute, five minute, 10 minute combination if you're day trading or a daily, weekly or monthly if you're longer term investor. I'm a swing trader. So I'm using the daily charts. So the 12 major signals boiled down to all you have to do is learn the six bully signals and the six bury signals. Those are gonna give you more trades on very simple scanning techniques. Simple scans will find more trades than you'll ever be able to handle. So each day you're gonna have a supply of training or of signals. So not only do you have a supply but you can go through a very simple cultivation process to see which ones are the best. So one of the first things that we know about day trading is there's two strong, two strong day trading functions. One is a day trade that you're gonna go in for the day that you wanna be in the right position and be in and out for a day trade. Meaning if you're in a market like this where you can't depend on a price move to continue into the next day, you probably just wanna find the good ones that you can make money on a day basis. The other is the intraday charts, which again, candlestick signals are the accumulative knowledge of everybody buying and selling for a specific timeframe. I used to trade the E-minis off the one minute, three minute, 10 minute combination. So we're gonna kinda look at those but we really are looking for those high probability trade setups and those high probability trade setups are from one very simple premise that investor sentiment is the most reliable function of price moves. I always tell people prices do not move based upon fundamentals. Prices move based upon the perception of fundamentals. So the Japanese rice traders have given us 400 years of evidence of what the signals look like. So not only do they show us what to look for as far as the graphic, but they also explain what the investor sentiment was that created those signals. When you have that combination, you've kinda have a grasp on what price moves are doing based upon somebody that might have 50 years of trading experience. Now, we also use an indicator that very few people use. We call it the T-line. And the T-line is the eight exponential move in average and it has Fibonacci characteristics mean it acts like a natural support and resistance level of human nature. So here's the most powerful screen in this whole presentation that if candlestick signals are the graphic depiction of investor sentiment and the T-line is a natural support and resistance level of human nature. When you combine those two, you've got an extremely powerful high probability trade setup. So very simple rule. If you see a candlestick buy signal and wanna close above the T-line, you can stay long until you see a candlestick sell signal and a close below the T-line. A kicker signal, one of the 12 major signals. You stay long until you see that sell signal and a close below the T-line. That combination because as you can see there are sell signals in here, but they don't confirm that there's been a major change of investor sentiment. So if you get nothing more out of this, just that simple indicator, the eight exponential move in average, we call it the T-line short for trigger line and it works in both directions. If you see a candlestick sell signal and a close below the T-line, you can stay short until you see a candlestick buy signal and a close back up above the T-line. There is truisms in candlestick analysis. One truism is the further away you move from the T-line, the higher the probability it's gonna come back and test it. So if you're in the overbought condition, which in my case, I use stochastics, any stochastics above 1233, my stochastic settings are, well, I just said that, 1233. So if I see a sell signal in the overbought condition, way away from the T-line, we have a doji rule. It's gonna move in the direction of how they open after a doji. That means we're taking profits right here because where do you think the next likely target's gonna be? Back down to the T-line. Or where do most people sell? These are the basis of candlestick analysis is just human nature. Where do most people sell? They panic sell at the bottom. Look how far away you are from the T-line when you start seeing buy signals right on the 200.  I always have to tell people, this is not rocket science. This is just, you don't have to be a sophisticated technical analyst. All you have to do is see what the signals are and where they're occurring on the chart. So first of all, anything we do as far as what type of day trade we're gonna put on is we wanna see which direction the market is going. Now we called the bottom because here's one of your strongest signals. That's a morning star signal. Also with a kicker type gap up and a close above the T-line. So the simple rule is if you see a candlestick buy signal and a close above the T-line, you're probably in an uptrend. Also, the next signal is what we call a doji sandwich. So we've got a morning star signal which is one of the 12 major signals followed by a doji sandwich which we call a morning sandwich or a McMuffin. This is a very powerful reversal.  This isn't the bottom.  This is your J-hook pattern which told us our next likely target was gonna be up here at the 50 day moving average. The green line is a three EMA, the three exponential moving average. A whole different topic but it becomes more effective the further away you move from the T-line and it provides a little bit more comforting confirmation that if the three T-line comes up through the T-line it's confirming your signals. So we were buying Zoom and if you're even day trading Zoom, there was two factors. One, we had buy signals. There's our doji spinning top right off the 200 day moving average. Stochastics in the oversold area starting to come up closed right on the T-line. If it opened positive the next day, what was it telling us? It was telling us it was confirming the buy signals and telling us the T-line was not acting as resistance. You could be buying this on a bullish day trade or we know the doji rule which is very simple. The doji rule says it's gonna move in the direction of how they open after a doji. So if they open positive we're buying immediately because the probabilities of this day right here being the same as this day right here basically says you have a doji sandwiched in between. That is a very high probability trade setup. Why? Because human nature works the same way. So the doji rule, very simple. A price or a trend we're usually moving the direction how they open after the doji. Look what was happening on Amazon. There was our best friend at best friend signals a doji followed by a gap up. Then we had a doji opening positive here. Just puts us in the right place at the right time. Now a lot of people say, well, shoot, I don't wanna be buying a stock that's already moved up that great. You do if you know what's happening based upon human nature. Same thing on a Peloton, doji rule. If it opened positive this day right here it's probably gonna be the same magnitude as this day right here. So if you're kind of concerned about sitting in positions for more than a day because there's been so many days that you see like this up, down, up, down, up, down. Can't really get a grasp. But once you start seeing the signals or patterns you get a much more clear indication of what's going on. Yes, should have mentioned don't be afraid to ask questions while we're going along. I'll try to talk fast so we have plenty of time to take questions. We were watching this one. This one was yesterday, codecs. You could see the wedge formation. This is what we call a double doji setup. What were we looking for today to see if it was gonna open positive? That's because we know if it opens positive it's doing a double doji and that today's trading would be the same as this trade right here. There's our doji sandwich or our McMuffin. I forgot which is when this was on. Oh, ML, SS. I forgot to put the title up here where we could see it. But that would imply that if we saw a McMuffin, a morning star signal followed by a doji sandwich, a close above the T line and a close above the 200, if it opened positive the next day you could be buying with a high degree of probability that you're gonna get a good day trade out of that. This is what we call a bobble breakout. A bobble breakout is a J hook pattern. A J hook pattern looks like a J hook, but it's more defined in that you can see exactly where the failure was when it failed at the 200 day moving average and where did it move back to? Right smack dab on the T line and did a bullish harami. What's a bullish harami tell us? Tells us the selling has stopped. Where can we be buying with a high degree of probability you've got a good trade right here? Because if it breaks out through the 200 what type of pattern do we have? A J hook pattern, which we know wave one and wave three are gonna be the same and where do you think everybody and their brother is watching? They're watching to see what's happening right at the 200. We can be buying here and getting out somewhere up here during the day. So riot, oh I didn't even check to see what riot was doing today. Same scenario and the qualifying indication that you've got a bubble breakout potential is when they failed at that level look where they moved to right back to the T line. Now right back to the T line statement is relevant because nobody has the T line on their charts. When it starts trading up through here we've got extra evidence that the J hook pattern bubble breakout is about ready to start. Anytime we can see a pattern this is what we call a fry pan bottom. Where's the breakout level? Right about where the pattern starts. We know if it opens positive we can be trading positive. When it trades positive what's that tell us about this big fry pan bottom pattern? But if it opens positive the next day we can still be buying on a day trading basis. Now my rhetorical question always is do we always get big huge price moves like this? Definitely not. But the probabilities of being in a big price move like this based upon pattern breakouts is extremely high probability moving in that direction. Are there other shorter time periods do you use together with a daily one? Yes. And I'll show you that here in a minute George. And again it becomes more relevant to go to a shorter timeframe. Look where our t-line is and look where the price is. That may be where we go to a 10 minute chart to see what's happening. So if I've got something like space yesterday closed right on the t-line what would we want for a confirmation? A positive open and start trading positive. I think space opened right here and immediately started trading off. So what did that tell us about the strength of that move? You didn't do it because it didn't break out. We bought DEAC today because there's your bubble breakout. We could be buying as soon as it opens positive because we knew the probabilities was that it was gonna trade positive. HDNP I didn't check to see what this one did but there's your bubble breakout setup. So very simple, if then, if it opened positive then you wanted to be buying because that would tell you your J-hook pattern which is much more defined by the bubble breakout was gonna give you a high probability trade. So when we're looking for day trades meaning we're gonna sit in for most of the day and then come out near the end of the day we wanna see what the market direction is doing which we can do very easily because the candlestick charts are not based upon any trading entity. It is the graphic depiction of what's going on in human nature so it works for indexes, stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, tulip bulbs, anything that has fear and greed in it. Then we can look to see what the pattern or a signal setup is and then we look for our open price confirmation. Not a difficult process. How many bars do you watch before you decide if open positive or negative? None. If I see a pattern setup Dwayne and it opens positive that means the probabilities of it confirming that pattern is extremely high. And I often get asked that question. How many, that exact question, how many days, what percentage does something have to move to confirm that you're in an uptrend? And the answer is zero. If you see a candlestick buy signal and it opens the next day confirming the buy signal, we're buying immediately. Meaning we wanna see it open and start trading in the direction that we expect. So there's always the question what if it opens positive and immediately starts trading lower? Well, you watch. You don't have to jump in on minute one or second one. We will sit and watch. I would rather be 12 cents, 80 cents, $1.10 late but knowing that the probabilities are pretty strong that the price is moving in the direction we expect after that pattern setup. So if we're doing intraday trading, let's see. In most cases, the prices goes back after the breakout and your position may be closed by the stop loss even though you place it just after the t-line. Should we wait for the second breakout for this reason? Or you wait for the end of the day to see where it actually closes. So the logic says, if you see a candlestick buy signal, I'm just gonna pick out an example that it closed right on the t-line and opened positive the next day and then after trading positive for a little bit, it starts pulling back, you give it to the end of the day because the signal told us that there should be a change of investor sentiment. Doesn't mean it's gonna immediately shoot straight up but the probabilities are that the eventual trend will be up. So intraday trading. First of all, we wanna know which direction our trading entity is. In this case, the stock. So Netflix, we know was expected to move in this direction because of our breakout. Wave one, wave two, look at our little Morningstar best friend signal. That means we can go to our 10 minute chart and look what the 10 minute chart looks exactly like a daily chart or a one minute chart or a weekly chart. So we could be buying right here. How long do we stay in this day trade until we see a candlestick sell signal and a close below the T line? What do we see happening right here? Doesn't close below the T line doing a J hook. Where do we close out? When we see our doji in the overbought condition and it starts trading back below the T line or closes below the T line. This is not rocket science. Investor sentiment works the same way time after time, year after year, century after century. Or if you come back into it, there's our doji sandwich after a long legged doji closes above the T line. If we're buying right here, how long do we hold? Well, look what happens when we get back up on our 10 minute chart in the overbought area. Doji hammer or hanging man, doji hanging man, one of the 12 major signals and a close below the T line. We're closing out right here. When we close out right here, what's our next criteria? Well, we've got candlestick cell signals on close below the T line. We can start going short until we see candlestick buy signals on an obvious level in the oversold area. Prices move the same way time after time. There's your big evening start signal on a close below the T line, on lean hogs on a 10 minute chart. You can go short until when? You're in the oversold area. You start moving away from the T line. Progressively, you start putting a stop right here because you are in the oversold area. When it comes up through there, where do you think the next target's gonna be? At least back up to the T line. If you're buying down here and it goes through the T line, where do you think it's heading to? The next major resistance level. Where do you take profits? Probably right here. Live cattle on a 10 minute chart. This is what we call convergence analysis. Look at all the things that you can analyze to tell you that this is probably a place to be buying. There's the bullish harami, which is in Western terminology known as the inside day. It tells you the selling has stopped and where did the selling stop? Right smack dab on the 10 minute chart. What confirms a bullish harami? A positive open the next day. We're sitting in the oversold area. So you got a bullish harami, right smack dab on the 50 move an average. It opens positive, closes above the T line. How long do you stay long now? There's your evening star signal and a close below the T line. You close out the position. The YMs, if you're trading the indexes, look at your bearish and golfing signal. In the overbought area, where do you start shorting? You're knowing that the downtrend's starting on the 10 minute chart. As soon as it starts trading below the T line. How long do you hold this? You might stop out here. You might buy here, but you close it right back out when it doesn't go in this direction and maybe go short again. Now to kind of confirm that, I don't know whether I did it. Not I didn't do it, but if you want to get further confirmation of what your signals are doing, look where your 10 minute chart did a bearish harami. Does the candlestick technique work in a flat market as well? Where the distance between the stop loss and the, let's see, RL is very short. No, what the candlesticks signals do is they work, but what they're telling you, if you're looking at a market trend and they're moving up and down above the T line and below the T line, what's that telling you? It's telling you there's no great support. I'm just gonna read your word. No great market direction. It's telling you there is no market direction. What we're looking for is what is the trend direction? If it's moving sideways like this, it's telling us it's moving sideways. We don't want to be trading right here. Where's our next buy right in here? So if I'm looking at a potential sell, there's our bearish harami in the overbought area. Again, this is the 10 minute chart and look at the pattern that you can see. There's your J-hook pattern. So if you're buying here a candlestick buy signal, bullish engulfing, close above the T line. Look how far away you've moved from the T line, a bearish engulfing. You might be closing here because where's your next target? Back to the T line. What do you want to see? See if it's gonna hold. In this case, I should have pointed out that the red line is our simple 200 day move and average on a daily chart. The blue line is a 50 day simple move and average. And the reason we have those on our charts is because every major money manager around the world uses those move and averages to make their decisions about what's going or what they're gonna do with their portfolio. Then we've got the 34 EMA works reasonably well as a support and resistance level. The T line, the eight exponential move and average and the three T line, the three exponential. Where do we find T line on a platform? If you go to your chart fade, just like you would any other move and average you put on your chart, all you're doing is putting on the eight exponential. So if you're putting on the 50 simple move and average, then you go back up and put the eight exponential moving on, it's just a move and average. So if I think it's reversing here, I can get a little bit quicker view, I think, using the five minute chart. So I see a shooting star, I see a very left, right combo. Did you say the three EMA? Yes, you can, yeah, the three EMA is just kind of a confirmation. It's this little green line that works more effectively the further away you move from the T line. And it also adds more confirmation that when you see a cell signal in the three T line coming down through the T line, that gives you a little bit more added confirmation that the selling has started. So very simple trading technique. I use the 10 minute chart as my bellwether. If I think things are turned around, I flip to my five minute chart. If the five minute chart is telling me there's a change, then I can go back up and say, oh, yep, it's probably selling off here. And then when would I start closing my position, probably right in here someplace because of the five minute chart? Where would I go short when the 10 minute chart was confirming that it was staying below the T line? Crude oil on a 10 minute chart, there's a bullish engulfing. I can make a good quick trade and something like this because where was I anticipating the next target to be? Right here. So if I was buying down here, I was gonna watch to see what happened here. What happens up here? You start seeing cell signals, you go ahead, you close out the trade. And if I wanna get in a little bit quicker or get quicker confirmation, there's kind of our little bullish pattern set up on the five minute. This is what we call a T line crunch where they crunched the price. They couldn't close the price back below the T line on the five minute chart. And it crunched it right up through an obvious resistance level. Well, the 200, same scenario. You stay long until you see a cell signal and a close back below the T line. So here's our trade today. Remember Codex was doing a double doji setup. There's very simple rules. It's gonna move in the direction of how they open after a doji, especially after we see a double doji setup, especially after we see a wedge formation, especially after we see it's come up through the T line and not coming back down and it opens positive, we're buying immediately because what's it telling us? That more than likely the magnitude of this day, which is what's going on right now, or when I did this chart an hour ago, that today's trading was probably gonna be the same scenario as that trading right there. And what does that kind of imply? That if this candle is the same magnitude as this candle, what's it tell us about our wedge breakout? That we've broken out.  How do we get a T line again on a chart? Just put the eight exponential moving average. Usually you have a place where you can set up your indicators. If you go to moving average, then it will ask what do you wanna put on it? And there'll be a box that shows what day or what timeframe. And then there'll be another box where you click on simple or exponential. So anyways, now, if you wanna trade this one, I didn't put up the 10 minute chart, but because we know the probabilities of it breaking out and creating this type of move, we don't know whether this move went up, down, up, down, up, down, but at least we knew the direction that we should be trading.  And then when it hit a peak, we'd be selling, but maybe not going short. Just waiting for it to pull back and getting back in on the 10 minute chart. So here's the logic of candlestick analysis. Where do most people buy? They buy exuberantly at the top. So when we saw today where Amazon was trading way up here, what was an alert? Look how far away we are from the T line. What is the normal reaction from human nature? You get a big price move. At some point, people are gonna start taking profits. We just wanna be aware of when that's going to occur. And again, the alert is the distance away from the T line. Do you use any other tool beyond the candlestick analysis to get confirmation for short or long in order that you will probably find the right direction? Yes, you're looking at it. The Japanese rice traders have a very simple strategy. Now this is, I'm gonna kind of digress here for a little bit. When I first, I was a stockbroker for eight years back in the late 70s, early 80s in Houston, Texas. And the one thing I discovered back then was that the brokerage firms had no more idea about what made prices go up or down than the man on the moon. They would, their philosophy always was you find a good quality company that had good earnings, good management, you buy it and you hold a long term and you're gonna make money. And that you couldn't time the market. Every time I hear somebody tell you that you can't time the market, it's because they don't know how to time the market. The Japanese rice traders have a very simple philosophy. If you see a candlestick buy signal in the oversold area and you see that buy signal confirm, you probably got a high probability that the reversal has occurred. The whole reason we're looking at candlestick signals in the first place is because the Japanese rice traders have identified what a candlestick reversal signal looks like. And not only that, they've had enough time to tell you what the investor sentiment was that created that signal. So the other side of the coin is if you see a candlestick buy signal in the overbought condition, it doesn't mean very much. If you see a candlestick sell signal in the oversold area, it doesn't mean very much. Logic says, if you see a candlestick buy signal in the oversold area, start looking for a reversal. If you see a candlestick sell signal in the overbought area, start looking for a reversal. I guess the caveat to that is you're going to have some big moves away from the t-line. What does that tell you? It tells you there's exuberant buying. Now if it does, if you get way up here and you're that far away from the t-line, there's a very simple rule. You flip to your 10-minute chart. So why would we flip to a 10-minute chart if we're trading on a daily chart? Because even if we were day trading this, how long do you hold this position until you see a candlestick cell signal? There's your bearish Harami and a close below the t-line. So if you bought this today, you're closing out right here. Candlestick signals work the same way time after time. And I tell people it's based upon the most consistent indicator in the world, and that's human nature. So when we're looking at a market trend, or the first thing we want to analyze is what is the overall market trend? Now we can do very simple scans for the stocks that are producing the best buy signals or the best pattern setups in that market trend. Then we can analyze whether any one of those are going to be coming out of a breakout level. That dramatically improves the probabilities that you're going to be in the right place at the right time. Why is a breakout level important? Because if we can see a pattern setting up where it closes right at that breakout level, where do you think everybody in their brother is watching? There's going to see whether it's going to break out and stay above that level. If we know it's a pattern breakout, we can be buying as soon as we see the positive open. And what happens to everybody else? They're waiting to see if it's going to stay up above the breakout level or they're going to wait for X percentage above that breakout level, which does two things for the candlestick investor. One, it gets them in early. So if it is a profitable trade, they're going to obviously make more profits. If it doesn't work, what is the advice that most investment advisors tell everybody? Cut your losses short and let your profits run. And I've been in the business for 40 some odd years, I hate to say. But I've never heard a single one of them tell you how you cut your losses and let your profits run. Candlestick signals because it's all based on common sense analysis, that everything you see on a candlestick chart is just common sense investment perspectives put into a graphic depiction. It tells you when you should be right back out of that trade so you can move on to another one. If I'm trading intraday, I'm seeing which direction my trading entity is moving, if it's a stock or a commodity. I go to my 10 minute chart. I see when things are starting to set up on the 10 minute chart. And after that, I confirm it with what the five minute chart is. And if I get right down to final pull up pushing the button, I'll look at my one minute chart to make sure my one minute chart isn't topping out and pulling back, which is kind of going to modify my five minute chart, which means it's going to modify my 10 minute chart. So everything I do with candlestick charts or what everybody should be doing, let me go back a few, is just pure common sense. What's this gap up telling me? We're in an uptrend. How long do I stay in this uptrend because of the t line rule? And again, this is your I tell people don't take my word for it. Put the t line on your chart and see whether it works. If it doesn't work, take it off. But that's the nice thing about candlestick analysis. We know the signals work or we wouldn't be looking at them hundreds of years later. We know the t line works because of the just the evidence that I'll show you a piece of evidence. Look where it opened right here. You'll be very surprised, I guess, is the number of times that a price moves back and hits right on the t line and bounces back up. Now you got to remember nobody has the t line on their chart. So it's hit a natural support level. What is the t line you use? Is it? No, it's an exponential move and average. But again, a very basic concept. If you see a candlestick bi-signal to close above the t line, you can stay long until you see a candlestick cell signal close below the t line with the caveat that the further away you move from the t line, the higher the probability it could come back and test it. Whether you're trading off the 10 minute chart, as I mentioned before, I used to trade the e-minis when I was much younger, which wasn't that many years ago, off a one minute, three minute, 10 minute combination. You can use RSI also. It doesn't matter what you're using. As long as when you use it, you find it's successful. I have people say, well, why, why didn't you try the XYZ indicator? Well, I can throw it on there. And after a couple of weeks, I find it does not improving my trading. I take it back off. As you can see, the charts are very simple. And that's because there's the main criteria for analyzing anything on this chart is the signals themselves. Everything else is a confirming indicator. So when you put all these in order, let me go back one. If I'm looking at a market trend, now again, this is for the presentation today is based upon day trading, finding that big move that you can get in and out in one day. But if I'm looking for a swing trade, my normal trades are swing trades usually anywhere from two to 10 trading days. I'm looking at the market trend. Now, if you had a day like we saw way back when when you had a big, huge reversal, and you've got hundreds of good looking charts, how do you find the best one? Very simply, on some of the scanning softwares, you can go to sectors and you see which sector it had moved the best or has the best looking chart. Then you can go to that sector and find which stocks in that sector had the strongest candlestick reversal charts. So essentially, you're putting all the stars in alignment that you're you're putting your trading funds in what now has turned out to be the best trade setup based upon human nature. Is a t-line as effective on the one minute and five minute? Yes. Everything that you see on the charts are what they call fractal, which means they work just as well on the one minute chart as they do on the weekly monthly chart. Again, if you go back to the definition of candlestick analysis, is that the candlestick signals are the graphic depiction of everybody buying and selling during a specific time frame. All the other indicators still confirm exactly what's going on in investor sentiment on those time frames. So if I am trading any like lean hogs, I'll look and see what the daily chart looks like. If it's a bullish chart setup that day, I'm going to probably be trading off my 10-minute chart on a bullish time frame and then confirm it with a five and one minute. My swing trades are usually two to ten trading days, George, which means I'm going to trade off the daily charts. And again, I'm looking for that combination. A candlestick reversal signal in the oversold condition and it climbing up or closing above the T line. That's an extremely strong probability there's been a change of investor sentiment. So a lot of people say, well, what if you see a buy signal and it's not doesn't close above the T line? Well, the buy signal closes relatively close to the T line. I'd rather wait to see if they're going to take it up the next day and close above the T line. I'd rather be a day late but know that my probabilities have become extremely strong that the uptrend is now confirmed. Do we go to the sector instead of the trend? No, what you're doing is I'm reading and thinking. What you're doing is your first analysis is do we know the markets are heading up or down? We can do that very easily based upon analyzing the chart. Now, if there's lots of stocks moving up in the trend, how do we know which ones are the best? Basically, how do we make the best hay while the sun is shining? Then we just go to the sectors and we scan to see which one of the sectors have the best bullish charts. And then once we see which sectors, which again, if we see bullish confirmation in the sectors, what's it telling us? It's telling us the big money is probably buying those sectors. Then we can go to those individual stocks that make up those sectors and scan to see which ones of those have the best looking charts. So again, that's putting all the stars in alignment that you're in the right place at the right time. Do you have a minimum stock price you trade? Yes, my trading universe can is I want stocks greater than five and more than 200,000 shares a day on average. The reason for that is most brokerage firms won't margin stocks below five dollars. And I know that every time I put on a trade the probabilities are greatly in my favor, but I'm going to be in the right direction. I don't know whether that right direction is going to produce a 3% profit or a 300% profit. I'll know that once the trend starts and it stays above the t-line. I want to get into stocks that have a minimum of 200,000 shares a day for two reasons. One, when I decide to get in or out, I don't want to have to sit around for five, 10, 20, 40 minutes to see if they can execute my trade. I want to get in and get out and move on to the next one. Secondly, the more volume you have in a stock, the faster the signals will set up because the signals are based upon the executions. So if you've got low volume your signals might be slow to to set up or diminish. So now that doesn't keep people from doing their own trading universe. On my website, candlestickforum.com, we've got our chat room open every day. We've got about 200 people in our main room and we've got about 20, 25 people in our options trading room. I put out two or three stock picks every night in a video format not so that people have picks but people can read or see the video and understand why those picks were recommended, the pattern setups. So the chat room is very effective because it's twofold. We've got people in there that have been trading candlesticks for years and are very good at finding good trades. So it gives you another supply of trade setups. And two, if you're trying to learn candlesticks a lot faster than trying to learn it on your own you can ask questions in there and you can get feedback back and forth. So through the years I've discovered that I want to try to teach people how to use the candlesticks so they can do their own scanning so they're just not told what to do. They can make the analysis that they can use for the rest of their life. So obviously if you tell people what to do they if they're not told what to do and they don't understand what they're doing it for you kind of lose the effectiveness.  The cop said we'll take him to the zoo and the drunk said oh I didn't think of that well the next day the cop's standing on the street corner here comes this car weaving down the street he blows like it was his whistle pulls the guy over walks up to the window in the car or the penguin sitting in the back seat. He goes I thought I told you to take the penguin to the zoo. The drunk said I did he liked it so much today we're going to a baseball game so if you don't understand why you're doing something you don't learn from it. Are your terminology of candlesticks universal? The signals are yes. Now there's a couple names of patterns like the j-hook pattern was my name. The McMuffin was just kind of short for having to say oh you got a morning star signal followed by a doji sandwich but all the other signals are are Japanese terminology. I don't use the Aikomuku cloud because it's not as effective as the t-line. I've been trading all sorts of technical indicators for no decades and the best combination I have found is the the t-line and the uh the candlestick charts. Now I could take everything off the chart all the moving averages keep the stochastics the uh the candlestick signals themselves and use the t-line and I could trade very very effectively and I say this because when I first when I was a stock broker in Houston with Kidder Peabody, Cowan and Oppenheimer I was the worst investor in the world but when candlesticks came along every time I looked at a chart or started learning it the thing that kept whacking me in the side of the head is this makes sense and the more I looked at it the more sense it made.  There's one true indicator that you want to watch and that's the market itself or the price moves itself. Candlestick signals are actual decisions not prognosis or predictions they're what everybody's actually doing. Do you trade future indices? I don't trade future indices just because I don't have time I I can make enough money trading soybeans cattle the dollar you can trade the indices if you want to whatever what I tell people candlestick signals work on everything it's the graphic depiction of human nature no you're not trading the t-line you're trading this signal can the t-line is merely a confirming indicator oops you scroll past me here do you trade future if not can you supply the same apply the same candlestick technique and time frame daily combined yes you can pick out whatever combination you want to use some people use an hourly chart and the daily chart it's whatever time frame there's other people that want to trade active they'll use a one minute five minute 10 minute combination if you're trading less active during the day you might use a five minute 15 minute hourly combination oh it took me probably a few months to learn candlesticks again that's because I didn't have anybody around to to confer with you can pretty much learn how to trade successfully if you just learn what the signals are telling you and I tell people even if you don't use candlesticks as your primary consideration if you are following somebody that you like what they're doing if you put candlesticks on your chart it's going to even make it that much more clear to see what's working and what's what's not working these indicators just got work on any market conditions it'll tell you whether you're in uptrend downtrend or sideways if you're in a sideways market and I've got 10 positions on it might be I have five good shorts and five good longs if the markets in an uptrend I might be eight longs and two shorts oops I don't want to run out of time here did you say you choose stocks that have over traded on average yes over 200 000 shares a day that takes the trading universe down from 9500 down to about 3100 and when I do a scan you can scan for the best trades in less than 20 minutes each afternoon just by having your preset scanning criteria and then doing some very simple sorting what charts do you use brand names metastock is a good one we have all our formulas all our signals and patterns over on metastock same thing with TC 2000 you can set up your scans if you're using thinkorswim but it's a little bit more cumbersome but all our formulas are usually on a lot of the ninja trader I think trade station has them this works for options remember options are merely a way to buy stocks so you're trading not trading options because of option prices you're buying options to control a stock that you're analyzing what which direction that stock is moving can I use the t-line alone I did not see a j-hook of Lynette very simple once uh and that's what we do in our chat room is keep emphasizing and I have a training session every Thursday night from eight to nine we go through the patterns the signals what the market's doing what it just gives you enhanced analysis of how to use the candlestick signals we do the same thing Monday from members and then the chat room is open all day long uh I know our Scott it's much more uh I don't want to say defined much more uh let me get to it yeah it's 47 buckaroos we advertise it as an hour but everybody that comes to these sessions realize that they usually go on for two or three hours so we use these sessions to go into detail and the one thing that we do constantly is the repetition because candlestick analysis is merely merely the recognizing the signals and then understanding what those signals are are illustrating uh Don we do have trial offers I have no idea what they are but if you would email abraham at candlestickforum.com he can give you much better idea so this uh Saturday session for 47 bucks we always make our mantra uh that you're going to get a heck of a lot more information than you think because I I go on and on keep showing examples we usually start at 9 30 uh on uh Saturday morning and supposed to go to 10 30 but we're usually done around 12 31 o'clock yep there you go all right well Falstow thank you for the invite today I hope everybody got some information this was we just this was the tip of the iceberg if you learn the 12 major signals which is your bread and butter there's about eight patterns they're extremely high probability trade setups again based upon human nature and once you see those patterns and you can add the signals to them again you're dramatically improving your probabilities uh again going back to the simple statement prices do not move based upon fundamentals prices move based upon the perception of fundamentals which means like the candlestick graphics tell you exactly what's going on in investor sentiment thank you Falstow thank you everybody again come join us uh Saturday I think you'll find you're going to get a heck of a lot more than your money is worth and this is not stuff that uh this is stuff that once you get it into your head it's going to be useful for you no matter what trading uh technique you're using after that Steve thank you so much for coming Steve and uh it's always


Do I have your full and undivided attention tonight? Yes or yes in comments below. Do I have your full and undivided attention tonight? Question two, do you promise to take notes because what I've learned is when I write something down it embeds it in my subconscious mind, I have a better chance of delivering and remembering the information. Do you promise to take notes tonight? I love that, Maria. Thank you so much. And number three, when I show you what you need to do in 2021, do you promise that you will do it without any questions, without any judgment, without any fear, and will you go up, will you show up, and will you go get it in 2021?  Yes or yes? Yes or yes? There we go. Paper and pen ready. I love it. I love it. Let's go. Let's go tonight. Let's go tonight. All right. My life changed when I started and invested in my business. And I don't only mean money by the way. I don't only mean money by the way. What I mean is that when I started taking things seriously, when I started paying to go to events, when I started paying for coaches, when I started wanting to soak up knowledge, most of you have heard about how I made $117,000 in my first eight months. I had to make a commitment to make 100 grand before I could make 100 grand. Does that make sense? Tonight, I'm going to ask you to make several commitments while you're on the webinar with me tonight.  Who wants that tonight? Who wants that tonight? Buffy, I want it tonight too. I want it tonight too. I remember going to an event about five years ago. And it motivated me and challenged me to want to help the world, to want to get out and share everything in my brain and what I knew and how I did it and where I was going with all of you. If I wouldn't have went to that event, if I wouldn't have literally pulled out my wallet and my credit card and actually invested in myself, I probably wouldn't be where I am right now. And I wouldn't be sharing all this amazing information that we're going to share tonight with you. If I hadn't really leveled myself up along the way, who wants to level up along the way?  Like you haven't leveled up like you know you could have. This is a safe place tonight for you to be honest with me. Who knows that you need to level up before you can earn 220,520 bucks in 2021? Right? At some point, I had to flip the switch, if you will. I had to burn the ships. I had to get my attention and I had to say, hey, if you want all these things that you're saying, then you've got to get committed. Then you've got to get committed. I don't know about you, but I'm extremely committed tonight. And I think you guys can see this last several weeks, this last 30 days, 45 days, 2020 entirely, I have went all in more than I ever have. And I want that to be your reality next year. Next year. I know that from a story perspective, when it comes to me, when I've made little commitments along the way, it's propelled me. But not only did I have to make a commitment, I had to invest into that commitment to make it real. I've learned that people that will actually put money behind their decisions are 10 times more likely to actually succeed. Believe it or not, why? Because it proves to yourself that you're serious to go get it, that you're serious to go get it. Here's what you're going to learn tonight. I can promise you, you're going to learn the steps and the secrets to win and the steps and the secrets to make the amount of money that you want to make in 2021. That's my promise to you tonight.  For sticking around. Here's what I want you to do. As you're taking notes tonight, because it's not an option, we are taking notes tonight. You said it earlier. Here's what I want you to do at the top of your pad. I want you to write, I will win. I want you to write, I will win, because you are committed to winning. I'm about to ask you something else in just a second, but I want you to start by writing that at the top of your notepad tonight saying, I will win. I will win. Second, I want you to write, I will earn blank in 2021. I will earn blank in 2021. Let's freaking go. I love it. At least as a winner. She's with us. She's with us. All right. I will earn blank in 2021.  I want you to pause and I want you to fill in the blank. I'm telling you, the bigger you go, the more you challenge yourself with what you put here, the more it will actually, you will take it serious. If you write down $48,000, you probably won't take it serious in 2021. Does that make sense? I will earn what? I will earn what? And I want you to fill in the blank. For my first year, I put this, I made the commitment, right? I wrote it down daily and then I also went and actually invested in my future, because I knew that I needed to get better to make that a reality. Who knows that you need to get better, yes or yes, that you need to improve for you to make whatever is in this little box a reality. Yes or yes. I knew that I had to improve. I was not good enough that the Kodiaskans that's in front of you tonight is not the same Kodiaskans that started in the industry 10, 11 years ago as an intern at 19 years old. I will earn blank. Now, did you fill it in? Yes or yes? Did you fill it in? Now, also, while you're filling this in, you're going to notice something in the chat to where I've actually came out with an insane special offer for the first 20 agents to take advantage of this offer tonight, which I'm going to go through at the end. It comes with sales training bootcamp tickets, 8% tickets. It comes with courses. It comes with a year with me and our coaching program Success Society comes with a lot of stuff. But for the first 10, that's only for 20, by the way, we'll probably have about 250, maybe more, but we're going to reserve it for the top 8%, which is probably about 20 people, by the way, about 20 people. But also for the first 10 that jump on that offer while I'm training tonight, for the first 10 that jump on offer, I'm going to tell you at the end, but I'm going to do something extremely crazy special for you that involves you and me tomorrow. And I mean tomorrow and I'm talking is freaking nuts. It's awesome. And you and I are going to have a lot of fun tomorrow for the first 10.  But for the first 10, I'm going to do first 10 to take advantage of this offer that I've put in the chat. I'm going to do something wild and crazy that involves you and me, but only for the first 10 that jump on it. So I'm sure that'll happen over the next several minutes. Now, first, I want to start off by breaking down the numbers. How do you make this a reality in 2021? How do you win? Who loves in chat? Who loves when I start breaking down numbers in whiteboards and videos and everything else? Yes, yes, yes, yes. I love it. Okay, good. Yeah, you should have got like a welcome message when you joined. Okay, Andy, if you want to go ahead and repost that, that'd be great. Okay, now, $221,520 bucks in 2021. How did I come up with this number? How do I know that you can actually make this number? Now, who would love it if this was your reality in 2021?  Your chances of this happening goes up. Who believes that? Now, $221,520 bucks divided by 52 weeks, by the way. Okay, divided by 52 weeks. What do we get? $4,260. I've got it written down over here or I'm just freaking crazy at math. I'm pretty good at math, but that'd be really good at math. Okay, I'd be really good at math. All right. Now, okay, perfect. All right, so and make sure that link is right, Andy, because we've got different links. Okay, now, $4,221, $4,260, which I believe it is, per week. You follow me so far, yes? Who wants that to be the reality in 2021 to where you walk in and you make $4,260 per week? How different would your life be? Let's stop week one of January. Bam, you made $4,260. If you can do it the first week, you can do it every week. Let's stop.  Now, let's take it and divide it by $852. Divide it by $852. That is $71 a month, by the way. That's the average annual premium for typical life insurance sales, some bigger, by the way. And if you're like, well, dude, I only make $600 a commission, well, you're going to need to alter these numbers. Okay. Five sales per week. Five sales per week. Now, who believes that you can earn five sales per week next year? Now, who believes that if you spend an entire year with me next year, that your chances of actually making five sales a week goes up?  Who believes that? There's no doubt about it. You can. I promise you that. Throw it in chat. Yes. Yes. I can do that. Yes. Because yes, you can. And the first step is speaking it into existence, right? Hey, if you love this, you're like, man, I want 2021 to be better than 2020 was. I got seven steps that you need to apply right away. Check out the video. They're in there. See you over there. If you want to make $221,520 next year in 2021, I'm going to show you the seven steps that you need to master.


First show, first show, now show it to Apollo. I'm in the legendary Apollo, J-O-N, Deep Black. You know, we set up, man. This is how I'm gonna just be here. Young niggas watch this area. Saturday afternoon at the crib, growing up. I'm just excited to continue the legacy of Black excellence. That is our... That is our duty. It's an honor, bro. I'm just taking it all in. You feel me? Can't wait to see what this show got to offer, bro. We about to put on. The last time I was here, I was with Steve Harvey, and he's a legend in the game. He came up through here, and by the time I had come back with him, he was one of the... He's on the Mount Rushmore, and so to be back with 85, like, we're the new kings of comedy, it's, man, I can't even believe it. I get emotional thinking about it, just to be on the same stage as so many people have been on, so... It's just crazy. We got this opportunity to come here, and just be the next kings of comedy, like, show them what's up for 85's self-show. Even from our experience, it's great. It's pretty deep, man. There's a lot of history here. This theater, I know some of the history, and it's not just about the artist. It's more about the culture and the movement of people.  Black people... It's made a ton of stars, and if you was anybody who came through the Apollo, you had to give it your all, because Harlem's gonna play this New York City. And it's real. You can make it here, you can make it anywhere. So, one of the greatest hosts that ever touched, walked this planet, used to host the Apollo. Mr. Steve Harvey, my big dog, Salute. So, for me to be able to go on stage and to introduce 85's self-show, the New Kings of Comedy, Carlos Miller, D.C. Young Fly, Chico Bean, this is legendary. We had offers to do a whole bunch of other venues, but we specifically wanted to play at the Apollo. We knew what it means. We knew what Harlem was for us in the 1930s. Obviously, us in the 60s, 70s, 80s, so you got people like Michael Jackson, Jackie Wilson, Bill Cosby, Britt Farron, Ella Fitzgerald, James Brown, Billy Holliday, Sammy Davis Junior, Joseph Sam Cooke, Sinbad, Temptations, Puff, Biggie, all them people on the play to stage, so this ain't got nothing to do with no money and nothing else. We just had to come to Harlem because that's what you got to do, especially as a black entertainment. So, it's so cool.  It's one of those places, man, that every black entertainer, performer has touched. Ever. This used to be it. This is the Mecca. This is the Mecca of black entertainment, man. Like, it was a time where this was the only place that was a haven for black entertainment where you know you can come and your people can come in and watch you. And embrace you. And embrace you and be safe and have a good time. I mean, the greatest of the greats. Everybody's been here, man. The Old Motown. And now you can add the 85 South Show to that list, man. Put my name on the wall. Hey, B, you already know what it is. So, you look behind this, B.  You know what I'm saying? Take the next sign. Word to mother.  Sign Harlem B. We out here. You know what I'm saying? Man, this little playground right here wasn't right here when we was doing our thing. You know what I'm saying? Now the windows out here. It changed it, but we right here. Yo, sir. Yo, sir, look over there. Look over there. Look over there, sir. That's the domain. Up there, sir. My big mother's crib right there. So, you see it? Top right window, sir. What up, sir? What up, sir? What up this street, B? Where the parking spot at? What up, sir? What up, sir? Yo, we out here, sir. Word up. We out here, sir. You see, it's my man. You should sell him, you know. You know, he used to come through and get what he used to get. You know, I ain't never worked at the cleaners. Yo, we got a sister named Tamika. She said, Icy Cubs. Yeah, you know what I mean?    That's how we get down up here. Yes, yes. Thank you, sir.  That's all that.  Especially if they still here. It's still a platform for where the OGs started. You feel what I'm saying? It's like, if all the OGs, if you're a rock climber, and all the OGs climb this rock. You know what I'm saying? But the park's still open and you're supposed to be a great. How you... There's a lot of great theater. Come on, folks. It's still open. You ain't touched it yet. If there's any accommodate gone, we was gone for our time. You know what I'm saying? So anything that's right now, we touching that. You know what I'm saying? So it's a blessing. I just stay, stay humble, and stay working, man. Appreciate y'all, man. If you're even with a team, we did. With a team. I hope we can smoke in here because if we can't, we're still breaking the rule. The little sister who the best cook in the whole house. Oh, man, that's cool. Younger's cool. He's so nice. Cook everything. Make gray-banded emotions. It's not what he's podcast really for.  Who been there? We been there before. I've been there too. You have to save some bath water? Yeah.
