All right, so we don't have a lot of data this week So looking like it's gonna be more about the kind of geopolitical As well as technical areas to take a look at here and let's jump over and Take a look at a higher time frame as well What's going on in here? This is really interesting we were looking for this last Thursday and Well, we can we can start with the daily chart here and start to go through it because this is Exactly what We had discussed so starting Monday last week we had a negative view bearish view it was Monday and Tuesday are very challenging days even though the candles look pretty simple and straightforward It basically the price would kind of really hover. It's still tried to go higher And then and you know end of the day or over on the overnight. We had these down days Where did we go? We went down to this previous area and these wicks down here This was something we were looking for at least some of the swings here And some of the these lower areas in here where we previously found buyers And We found them again. Okay, so what did we do? Well, we dipped below here on this daily chart and then we see the buyers come back in Once we saw that and we see this even this gap here This was I think Friday right on the hourly chart or maybe on the 15-minute chart here We were looking for these wicks up here Okay, well, here's where we opened up Above these areas and above these wicks in here. So a lot of people got stopped out up in here We were looking for stops to be triggered above this area and then if we get get up here above this area, too Look what we've done Okay, now this is something to take away on the bigger picture and and and really understand in terms of order flow And I'm going to take a step back here. We went through the daily The hourly last week was was challenging It was it really doesn't give us much of a direction here We know there's buyers and sellers in this market on the hourly 15-minute chart last week. Well, we had the We're looking for the move to the downside And it did unfold and into these wicks like we were talking about before And then we saw the buying pressure come back in we had a gap up here on What was this on the 7th? It's not the 7th. I forget what day that was. Let's see here. It was on The 12th or 14th. I'm sorry. So yeah, this would be on Thursday, I believe and And then the the momentum here on this hourly Okay, not to be denied and yeah, we continued and we even closed higher here. So the the point is When you see gaps like this and you see a move To the downside look for gap fills on the upside to Okay, the potential move here. Here's where the close was the gap has been filled All right now and understand what that means here just because the gaps filled like in Now that can be based in a strategy is rather meaningless. You have to understand what it is And and what it means is like this is where sellers came in and this is where the market dropped Okay, so this is where there's an imbalance. This is a retest back to that area Okay, now we need to ascertain Are there buyers or sellers in here now in the market right now? That's what we want to know. Okay because but you can shoot for these gaps as potential areas to fill And it's an unfair auction basically so the market moved away dramatically And it has now retested that area That's what gap fills are about. Okay in a nutshell And now we were up there. We drew these lines in here earlier 3,900 last week Okay, we drew in this one here at 3840 being a really critical area Last week. Okay before it was touched even on Monday These was it we knew this is gonna be kind of a critical area here So we're just drawing up our higher time frame lines understanding market structure here based on these very simple candlestick charts. Okay, just where the price action is and starting to kind of read the The the buying and selling pressure in here. Okay, so great. We gapped up today filled the gap up here 3900 and I really don't see much right now to tell us Very much About buyers and sellers here in the market at the moment. We have another gap here This is this is where we gapped up from. Okay, so are we gonna see sellers come in? Well, we need to see sellers here Okay at 3892 if we do or maybe a little bit lower 3890 if we do I'm looking for the tops of these previous ranges in here So about 3882 it's this area here 3882. This is where these previous swings were Okay, now that's not gonna be a full gap fill The full gap will be down here at 65 67 something like that 66 so yeah, we'd be looking for If we see sellers come in at the bottom range here This is these are some potential areas to see tested again again same concept here Unfair auction there. Here we go. Look at the candle right now. All right, so here we go Let's now take a look at book map and see if this is gonna be a trap and come back in the middle of range and try to Go even go higher. Maybe it comes above at 3920 here. That's another potential area We've got to cover the other scenario here right now. It looks like it's gonna fill down to this 82 level All right, so let's now look at the order flow to give us insight to the direction Okay, if it is it a false breakdown or or whatever. All right, so it's a lot of selling just came in We're gonna see some stops here We're down below this swing here already so yeah looking to see let's just zoom in here a little bit more This liquidity was filled in here great. All right, so looking for more sellers here looking for 86 85 83 here's more on the offer here Okay underneath this area. So this is a pretty strong move. Okay from from 91 to 87 that's three or four points five points looking for the continuation of the move here All right, so let's see if we can get a bit more selling right down here at 87 And it's not happening right now And they're coming back up to the top of this range at 89 Okay, top of the range. Let's take a look here Now do we see sellers start to come in? No not yet Okay, there's a bit There's a little more on the offer some exhaustion. Let's see if we get sellers here Now we found buyers here All right, so we got a read there. We found some buyers now What's the reaction after that buying? Now we're getting sellers Okay, so let's see one more retest here down about 88 and then looking to see if we can get back down into 86 85 84 All right, so yeah, this would be the kind of zone or area in here that we're watching very very closely It's not a trade recommendation, but this is what we're looking at here Still no commitment at 88 even by the sellers down here at 88 So we're back up above so we're still we didn't see the sellers down here that we're looking for we saw some Okay, now we're we're still bearish here Hey, we're still bearish. This is the breakdown here around 92 It's just retesting back up here and we're gonna see a nice little stop run in here and now Looking for our sellers again There's a few Okay, it's not quite not quite there yet. Okay, let's see it sellers. Here you go You've got the opportunity now we can we it's it's pretty dark in here trade right back down to about 87 and a quarter here Let's see if we can get our sellers and the move down to 87 and a quarter not yet More buyers still squeezing a little higher here on the bid at 80 at 90 here I'm looking for these guys to transact though I think we've got enough sellers in here to try to reach these guys and transact. Oh, they're still squeezing still squeezing Let's see here. Let's draw a trend line in here So I'm just looking for sellers to try to take control here. So there they go. There's a bit It just continues to squeeze Still more on the Okay, so here we go more sellers there Continues to squeeze and we're above this area where it just broke down from All right. Now they're starting to pull on the bid here. I Think we got our sellers in here. Here's a pullback here and That some exhaustion a bit more selling there 93 and now we should see a test back down here to about 92 and a quarter And I think these guys will probably get out of the way on the way down here So this is tricky. It's a tricky move All the way back up to here a little bit above it. Let's put our stops and icebergs on chart here There's gonna be a huge stop run there. It is 3940 a bunch of liquidity up there Thanks MC local. Okay, so sellers down at the trend line here At the bottom of the trend line. Yeah, that's good. I mean we want to see the continuation here It's the exhaustion though up in these areas that we want to really look at and Some of the clusters it's looking pretty good. I think we we've we've We're seeing it now the sellers coming in they're starting to pull on the on the offer. So here here comes our follow through Tricky move. I mean, this is something to take away here typically Typically we look for the test back to about here where it dropped from or how aggressive they are like here Maybe just back to a cluster and then looking for sellers again and then the continuation Okay, what we got instead here is another squeeze back to this cluster here Okay, so we're not making this stuff up You can see the clusters of the selling and the moves back into those areas Okay, we just we just see the buyers continue to squeeze here and And then back up to where it dropped from up here In fact, it came all the way back up and almost tested the tops of these ranges here. Okay, so Yeah, it was this was a kind of a bit of a tricky tricky move in here Especially after we saw like typically when we see we found some buyers in here, right? We noted this little area. We always look for these insights here We see some of these buyers come in and they took on that high liquidity here. Great. Okay Well, we found some buyers, but they were not able to get above so that's where that's where we're looking for sellers down here Okay, and typically we get our we get our break here Instead it continued to squeeze back up above Okay, so anyway that I know that's hindsight We want real-time order flow analysis here still seeing buyers really kind of Still testing this Okay, Andrea. Yeah, we got we got our Good morning Matt. Good morning everybody. Sorry. I just kind of jumped right in here But and let me jump over to YouTube and see how everything's going All right, no questions yet. Okay. This is pretty choppy action. There's We're look we're looking for sellers to take control from this area and to continue to drive it away It fits with our higher time frame analysis as well looking for 82 Right. Well, we're still seeing buyers fight it here Okay, so let's take a look again at our structure in here Get rid of this line. All right, because we saw this action all last week how choppy it was and it's really kind of a pain But choppy markets, that's What we have to deal with here and we're looking for a directional move and follow through in fact I have my heat map may be too Interesting. All right Yeah, let's filter that heat map again here right click on the heat map and See if we can just get a little more out of it here All right, so structurally we have some horizontal lines here just to the swings Okay, we also have a few trend lines in here and we have 3,900 the figure up here I want to look at also the five-minute chart in here. Not just the 15 minute. So let's do that. Yeah, 80 we already have that Marked up. So here's our 82 level down here Okay, well five minute chart. We're basically in the middle of the range in here. I mean it dropped up here Retested it and we found some buying wicks in here. Okay sellers in at the bottom are coming back in here You know, this is something we actually tweeted about The other days here, you know, this kind of choppy action and we want to really kind of be careful here because we've got a Trendline here and we got very trappy environment in here So see how the buyers trying to take it away from and then squeeze the sellers below this area here Now they can out these buyers might get squeezed now here heavily by the by the sellers We're watching here So we're down here So sellers sellers are still in control in this very very small little move in here So let's see if we get if we get our sellers here at 93. I think we can get a break maybe down to 90 Yeah, not not the greatest Order flow wise, but that's what we're looking for right now So we got some sellers here not many not many It's a bit more. All right sellers. You got it drop it. Let's see it down to 90 Trend lines are a joke. Yeah, somewhat. I know there's a lot of traders that look at them though so We're just kind of trying to all we're trying to do with the horizontal lines and the trend lines Is mark up some structure? That's it So You know that structure might be diagonal or it might be horizontal But we're just trying to get some insight here Okay, higher highs higher lows Then that would be a diagonal line, right and basically about about trend lines Again is market structure, but It what really matters is who's looking at what This is why like VWAP is a lot better I think in my opinion then looking at moving averages now it depends on how you use those moving averages If it's someone like Jay trader, he's looking for pullbacks Then you know and his studied strategies behind that that's something very very different This is set up actually you can see the divergence in this here. So it's it's you know If you guys like your CBD, you're gonna see it in here some divergence Oops Right here and here is due to this buying in here Okay, so you know you can see we're having higher Highs here, but lower price So this would this kind of diversion set up I tweeted about this kind of end of the week last week What we're looking for though is we can get we can get the continuation here But if we get buyers up here, right then we can get a nice squeeze So we'd be looking for buyers up here on this diversion play. Okay, and now we're up here All right, so let's see. Do we get buyers up here? 93 this is where they can take control of the market Right because we look at the divergence. It's beautiful here, right more the sellers in here But there's this cluster of buying in here really skewed it and made it diversion So if we can get up here and we find more buyers And we already found buyers here. So we're looking for them to take control then we're looking for the move to 95 96 Maybe the figure Okay, so let's see if we get buyers here For this Divergent play and we're looking for the order book to support it as well. We want to see on the bid here Okay, we got some buyers No follow-through It's gonna be we're gonna see some icebergs there. I'm sure Hey, what why do you think just a? For those new to icebergs, why do you think we're gonna see icebergs in here? What's what's your thought on that my Twitter our Twitter handle is here? I'll show you on Twitter It's just a just you know book map And it was it was this here. This was a diversion play or you know analysis You'll see it MC local. Yeah, I mean I have a I have a Twitter handle as well. I think it's Haven't I used to be pretty active on it, but I haven't been for for a bit What's it called It is called order flow Dynamics or at flow order. I think it's my handle There's a there's a lot of stuff it basically and the reason that I'm mentioning it here is In the past the whole concept of using it was There's our squeeze guys. This is and we're looking for that 95 96 here. Okay, so this this setup here Okay, is it is a really nice divergent setup. We're looking for our buyers here We got them and we're looking for the squeeze higher now Okay, and these these guys in icebergs in here. Let's just turn those on. Okay. Here's our iceberg right here You can see that all right and Nice this is a nice move this played out really nicely here as a choppy day to begin with so Yeah, you know all of these kind of pieces kind of fit fit nicely together the order book didn't give us too much to be honest There there was not really underneath here too much. We did this was more based on the aggressors and Plus we had an iceberg in here. So that was a conflict as well Yeah, we can see icebergs here icebergs here All right, let me just take the stop now. We have a stop run to the upside.  This is like, you know, somewhere around 500 or so a little bit less So basically what we're looking at then is a pivot line here at 93 if we get sellers below that look for the move back down to 90 Here they come Let's see if we can get that move Okay, and looking for the order book to help us out here Guys, I'm sorry. I'm going through a lot of things and it's kind of piecing it together But I'm trying to do some live analysis here as well to make some points In the meantime All right, here we go sellers. Let's see it. Let's see if you can do it. You should be able to do it If these are a lot of stops in here now you're going with the icebergs. So looking for sellers Looking for 90 order book is not helping us out here So buyers could whip it right back up into 94 95 But yeah, the the analysis that looking for the sellers to drop this here The bid is kind of strong underneath here. So that's not voting well for this this continuation move, but It's getting a little more interesting on the offer up here now Let's see if they pull on the bid and let's see if we get our sellers Okay, then we want to move away from this high value or high volume area on our On our on our profiles and try to explore lower areas here, right? So for that to happen, we really need to see sellers come in And we're not we're not seeing that right now Thanks MC local Yeah Yeah, it's The point I was trying to make here was that this divergent play here, let me just Add this into the bigger tab here Again, it's still squeezing. So we're looking for our sellers below because this was a stop run And we had icebergs in here, but we didn't have much from the order book, right? We're still looking for that move lower, but boy, it's still popping higher here. It's again. This is kind of choppy day Anyway, the concept was same concept in here. Okay, so we can take a look at this move in the S&P we had Sellers come in sellers come in again Quite a bit of heavy buying in here. Look at the bars. Look at the dots Sellers come in and we we're gonna have a stop run in here, but we don't we don't see it I don't have stops on here, but we're gonna see it. I'm pretty sure But due to the heavy buying and this divergence, this is what created the divergence And no question about it. You can see it, right? So we know that and we know that there's heavy selling in here, but doesn't You know, it pales in comparison to the buying here now The scenario needs to unfold though We need to see buyers back up here Okay, and this is above 3850 here So we need to we really need to see the buyers come back up into this area up in here where they can take control And we'd be looking for the move up into higher liquidity okay, if We didn't get the buyers up here then these sellers in here are these buyers in here Right and we got more sellers down here. They're the ones that are gonna have to get stopped out And even more so And the move back down to this liquidity and maybe this liquidity Okay, so it's really that it's the context here of we have the divergence But so what like how many times have you guys been burned on on divergences or at least I I sure have And thinking oh, there's a version. So, you know, I'm in And then it just continues to rip against you Okay, and You know So we need to have that context. We need to see the buyers interest back up here Then you've got something now you're looking for the move. Okay, that's much much higher probability If you don't see that if what if it exhausted up here on this retest and then we come back down We see more sellers down here great looking for the move lower, right the diversion play fails right, so That that's the point I was trying to make and then in terms of like the Twitter handle of Is it flow order? Is the idea here is Let's just go there Yeah, there it is The idea here was that you know, we can show a trading activity with some of these So these are these are my trades or like, you know what I was looking for in here to unfold And I can show trade management in here All right, so I we don't want to show that in our individual Or on our book map Twitter handle right so that that's why this just we want to show trading activity Then you can do it in here. It's outside of book map All right, because it would not be Responsible to put it within here and say like oh, yeah, look at these trades from book map No, we don't want to do that. We'll show other people's trades. No problem. Okay, we'll retweet and We wanted we're a platform. We just want to be very objective about that and You know respectful as well, okay Do I believe most breakout attempts fail it depends it depends on the context, okay, so And in that context We go through again and again and again Right now we've got an interesting kind of range starting to develop here We've now we've had to redraw this trend line multiple times see there's the break below it right right there Okay sellers trying to take control move it away Okay, it's squeezed higher and higher and higher back up into these areas here now Now it looks like see how this we have our big volume profile it traded right back to the middle of it now We're seeing sellers come in here now Do they have the power to move it away from this area here and explore these lower areas like previously? That's what we're looking for. Yes. Looks like they have the size. I'm looking for sellers to drive it lower. Okay So we had a move here from about 93 and a half down to 91 It's about two and a half points or so we need to see more than that but we're looking for it We're looking for these sellers here Yeah, they're starting to pull on the bid they're adding on the offer at 94 Let's see the sellers come in here at 91 and three quarters and drop it Okay, so this is what we this is what we're looking for and it's answering that question about breakdowns and breakouts Okay, we're looking for a lot of selling and we're looking for a points movement to match that as well to drive it away from all of this activity here and Explore and create a new value area. That is down below. That's what we're looking for Okay, you'll see it again and again and again. That's what it takes. It takes volume and price movement If you don't see if you see the price movement and you don't see the volume You will likely get a retest back up into where it dropped from if you see the Volume a but no price movement. Well, then that can be a trap and then we can see the The buyers come in and try to move it back up and squeeze Okay, which they may do here as well because we didn't have we're looking for it But we didn't we didn't have such a price move here like 93 and a half down to 91 that's only two and a half S&P points. We want to see at least three and and more Right else. This is what happens. We can get a squeeze here Okay, and a squeeze back up into 93 or 3900 here And this is actually looking pretty nice to play out that way right now Here the buying pressure back up into this area here So it's been tricky tricky morning so far Sellers had it here. They really did They were pulling on the bid they're adding on the offer and Then then it just stopped and this is just like last week Monday and Tuesday. We saw this a bunch Hey our overall Analysis, let's go back to that though. Hey, well, we're you know this five minute We're just kind of in the middle of this range in here on the hourly and on the 15 minute We like this idea of coming back down and filling this gap or at least the top of this range Minimum just top of this range and that has not tested yet Okay, because we filled the gap up here on the hourly and Looking for just a move back down to here And we can't even get that right now I be profan Any more squeezes and they're gonna have to buy you dinner Well until we see something that really tells us like a Bit more I mean I think this little CVD Divergent and also You know looking for the the move higher here was was Worked out nicely and That was one of the scenarios here. Now here we go again. We're at our pivot line at 93 Okay, they're on the offer here at 94. We're finding sellers. Okay. They should be able to drive it here Should be able to drive it right back down into 90 And 88 and a half There's a pullback already Really need to see down here. This is really the bottom of this you can see the profile in here Which is just if we just zoom out again, and what do we mean by the profile is this all these traders down here? And then there's only this much down below it Right, that's what you get down here. Just there's not many got prints down here Compared to up above here Right this area here. So this is going to be an important area for them to break as well So we can get rid of this these lines here. In fact, let's just go into edit mode and all of these traded up here I get rid of this. All right sellers. Let's see the move here All right looking good looking pretty good here retest already They still don't have all of the pieces here. We're still looking for this move to unfold. It's just still It's not high probability now Because we you know, we just don't have that that clean clear look here in the order flow Buyers can come back in rip it right back up into 95 here Okay, we're we're going to go with the move lower though. We're finding some sellers We're finding the see the offer in here starting to kind of Brighten up a little bit more bluish in here so Anyway, we mentioned this last week that I think could be really A nice way to look at this is look at your prime setup Prime setups when the order flow really matches Okay, and it really gives you that clarity and insight when you don't have all the pieces You can still go with You know your your bias here in the order flow But just note that you don't have all the pieces and that you're probably going to have to shift your Trading activity Okay, so or your sizing Right and just uh, you know Take take less risk. Okay, because this is the move we're looking for now. It's doing it now Okay, so now and we've we've come back down. We've broken below. We're down into this area here below We should have drawn this line up. Sorry oops Here This is really the critical area Okay, we need to see sellers below it here And continuation And that's what we're looking for What do I mean by order flow? Brian, okay. Yeah, so We're looking at the um Well, we're basically looking at the context between aggressors Well, all the order is here and uh What we're what we're looking at and trying to ascertain is is direction based on the activity of the of the uh, participants Some are committed This is why traded volume is a really important element. Let's take the heat map off Right now. We're just looking at best bid and offer and transactions and A lot of traders look at just transactions. Okay, it is very telling especially with market structure And that's why we're putting these lines in here to look at market structure and some insight or understanding of what uh Like a value area or a zone or whatever and that's all we're marking up here It's just just zones uh and understanding just like we did on this time frame here Okay, so now now we're getting down there We're seeing the sellers starting to come in right and we're still getting a wick here on the buy side So and this back up here now what we need to see is the sellers recommit here Okay, that there's a buying wick in here and they're trying to kind of move it back up Into these into this these areas here where it can trade right because we know there's a lot of transactions up here These areas are kind of outside of that Value area All right, so now we're looking for sellers and then in the order flow what we're looking for here is A lot of red big red dots And price movement to drive it away from that previous area. That's what we want to read here Okay, so that's one uh reading of the order flow and an understanding of order flow transactions here Okay, these are market sell orders the red dots market buy orders are the green dots Okay, see how the there's more selling down here now Because of this down here now we're looking to see for sellers to try to break it here at this 88 and a half And see the buyers come in and try to retest back up here And if they can Then we got to think about like who's going to have to bail and it would be these sellers in here They're committed to the sell side And then they'll have to be buyers back up above and that's how you get your short squeezes Okay, so now Transactions is good and we can start to read you know more selling at some of these areas down here We're looking for less buyers up here at the top of the range that gives us a a skew an understanding That uh sellers can now explore lower areas here now. Here's the squeeze right It's been squeezing almost every single move here So And look at the counter a ton of selling just coming in Okay, and these are not icebergs All right, I'm still looking for sellers to come in and drop this here Okay, just based on the volume Now the order flow When we look at transactions is good Well, there's a whole another side to it and that is what about the passive orders the limit Not the market buy and sell orders, but the uh Limit buy and sell orders Well, this is where there are buyers in the auction on the bid. They're down here at 88 and a half 87 85 and three quarters and 85 down here just in this view alone. There's even more down below Okay, so if the if these sellers come in This is where they can find the majority of the buyers Okay, and the heat map the scale of the heat map red is very red and orange very high liquidity than yellow Then white then blue and then black is the least amount So that answer your question brian Okay, this is context between buyers and sellers that we're we're uh looking at here to give insight Oh, great. Excellent. Thank you brian All right, let's see it sellers down here is what we're looking for The we have a little bit on the offer up here And we're looking for that context now. We had some selling down here. We're looking for it to continue There they are now. Let's see the continuation.  That's why I do not think this is high probability Okay, it's not a prime scenario here. Okay, it's a scenario, but it's not prime scenario Okay, so it's still looking for sellers down here and we're looking for the drop Okay, so see what the buyers did they whipped it up into 91 And if they can get up above this that means back to that scenario here that all of these guys in here All these sellers in here are going to be buyers up here All the way back to like 95 or you maybe even higher All right, so anyway, I would have been out of this trade That's it. Give it a shot for it for a directional move and You know, that's it. Take a small loss. Look for the next Okay, now Uh Let's go over just The the trade sizing in here because it's not a prime scenario here Wouldn't put much on it Okay, I would I would reduce the size still looking for the move But I would reduce the size and another thing about the stop Is by looking and reading the order flow here. We're looking for this to work right now Okay, that's the beauty of order flow is like we should get the move And it should unfold now Uh, if it doesn't it's something's wrong Okay, so get out Okay, and then if something's right well, then you just hold it until you see something that changes your mind in the order flow Okay, another order flow reading that tells you to get out Hey, you also have targets to hit Brian sometimes This is it's a really good point Brian. Sometimes the simplest things are are what stumps me the most Exactly, you know, we've all been whipped around by education in so many different different ways So we try to be very very clear and objective with our education here Because we we can do that We we don't have to say, oh, you know, like look look at this candlestick pattern or whatever and No, we're looking directly at the orders here, uh, and uh and understanding it as an auction And and that has more a higher probability of working out I I feel So, uh, anyway what I want to show here is our education And it's very different than other people's education So go to book map, uh on youtube and scroll down And then go to under bonus material here Go to book map educational course And it's here and watch part one start with part one Part two is kind of what we're going over Uh, and we're kind of doing part two and part three and and part a little bit of part four So part one is just understanding um The uh the auction Hey buyers and sellers and what makes the market move the basic market mechanics This is really important Uh, and then uh second is here, uh understanding those market mechanics within Volume profile and and microstructure. Okay, or just just market structure And then the part three is going over again order flow within structure And then we're looking at actually um, uh in part three. We're looking at uh potential setups as well And then part four adds in, um Confluences and correlations Okay, and and add-ons so the add-ons like stops and icebergs cumulative volume delta, etc Okay to give you insight I mean, this is just horrible action in here like, uh, this is a nice squeeze in here again Uh to them to the well if you're looking for a directional move. It's pretty horrible right If you guys are uh looking for that squeeze to continue because it has like just about every single time Then this has been pretty pretty profitable profitable day for you Okay Because you see those buyers come in at the top edge here and they continued and they squeeze these guys watch Watch the stop run here We'll see it They might get they might we might get to the figure right now This might be a really good move to the figure at this point because all of this is trapped And anyone anyone in here any sellers in here that is still in this is likely going to be stopped out above here at 97 So what does that mean? We know that there are buyers above here is what it means So let's test up there Let's see someone. Let's see like if the market can find its way up here Yeah, uh I I have the bonds and the notes up here are maybe just the notes. Yeah, just the notes And this is a great correlation Mexico Yeah, I really like looking at correlated markets.  Uh, typically very typically Sometimes not These markets usually follow through too, which is really nice I mean, they're so deep. Look at this each price level Except for best bid and offer each price level has over a thousand contracts on each one Really really deep markets here So you can get a lot of insight from the bonds and the notes Right and there's your correlation. They're going down s and p's going up Oh, and you're looking at the boons as well. Yeah, that's another great one and that one moves nicely Uh, let's see. What's the supply? Zone about supply and demand very very simple Like there's this is we're showing in the heat map you can look in in the the c o b or current order book column And this is your kind of depth of market here So, uh, uh, but we're showing in the heat map form graphically Okay, so these these orange areas we know they're high liquidity Right, so this is your supply or I'm sorry. This is your demand down here. This is where they're buyers They're looking for buying here is what they're showing in the in the auction Your supply zone is up here 3900 All right, let's see if we get another squeeze here guys. It looks pretty good already Uh, see the sellers here Okay, but the buyers are still moving higher So we're looking to see if we can get buyers right around here 94 I want to see this bid light up. I want to see these guys pull at 95 Uh, and then we can get up to 97 and this might be a nice move up into the figure here as well So let's look for that Yeah, looking good. I like it. Let's see the move continue here We we got all those pieces here. So now we've tested the top of the range Okay, looking for a breakout now of that range And sellers are fighting it This is a another kind of, um Strategy when you like we just made it to the top of the range That was it And then the sellers bring it back down the bottom of the range Uh, we had the pieces though Okay, pulling here adding in here buyers looking for it 97 Uh higher liquidity in here, but sellers took them on. Okay, and that disrupted this um So what anyway what I was going to point out is another potential strategy This is a very small range in here But you'll see it on on bigger ranges as well. It doesn't really matter Uh, is that once you see that You know, we're not out of a range yet So you're just looking for the top of the range and you can take some profit And then look for a runner Okay, in this case you you you know, maybe you maybe you took a some profit up at 95 or so Uh, and then uh, uh, and then you got stopped out on the rest Okay You move your stop at break even Okay, now we're decked down into our our pivot line down here And we're looking for if we're going to get our sellers down here Oh, okay, brian. Yeah, so that you watched all that The educational course. Yeah, I think that that'll you'll find that very helpful Okay, mcloco. Yeah, you like your uh, uh cvd divergence. Um, let's see here um Doug is showing some uh guys if you want to jump over to discord as well It's open free to all uh in in the advanced webinar hashtag advanced webinar area That's where you can see some of the other Other traders in here With their comments and um insights Doug for example is uh Looking at a correlation between the es the s and p e mini and sp y and he's looking at options And he's and he's looking at a bearish, uh overall tone here Okay, due to you'd have to come in and hear here. I can show you here. Uh, you know, here's the uh Some of the images that uh, uh, he's presenting All right, so this is based off of one of our partners From spot gamma All right, so anyway Yeah, you guys might want to come and come and check that out. There's some really good stuff in there and some really good traders Yeah, I find it really weird like it's just Why I mean, I know we have a ton of buying up here But sellers able to this is where sellers can really take control of this market because they got all these guys like long here Buying and yet why are we why we're still hovering up here? You know looking for the squeeze to the downside they they got one here. We see one really nice squeeze here Right this red line here stops And just looking for another one though And buyers is still still continuing to fight Trying to push this higher And squeeze it And this is our high volume node. We're right at it here So this is exactly where we look This is value In a range, we're just looking at areas where it's right in the middle of the range basically So, you know, this is uh where a lot of transactions have taken place. Good morning, David Um What's got what's david got cooking here? Oh, okay david. So you're getting into the options as well here Interesting. Okay So we have some interesting analysis here on uh on some of the options Uh, this is this is a beautiful thing here. Look at this lower high No buying up here sellers starting to roll in. Okay Based on this we look for sellers to try to hit the bottom of the range Okay, so looking for 87 or so down here Right our exhaustion our structure our sellers Looking for the move, uh, you know to to test this liquidity here as simple as that So, you know, this is this this is where you're looking to get in somewhere around in here And you're looking to take some partial profit down here around 88 Okay, now Based off of this Okay, now it's it's still not even even after that said it's still not really a prime Prime setup here because we just we still don't see much commitment here on on the offer And we don't see so much pulling on the bid either Right, but we have the potential here by the aggressors. It's looking pretty good Now they're starting to show a little more on the on the offer up here a little more supply Okay, so yeah, we're looking for this to trade back down to like 88 Bottom of the range and then take some some off Uh, where do you where do you get involved in in some place in here when you see these sellers start to roll in? Or here's your pull back here More on the offer here. Okay, so And again, it's not prime Therefore you'd be trading on reduced size But this is the way you're looking to go and now again, this is these are not trade recommendations It's just reading the order flow and we're going to talk a bit about Setups and we're going to talk a little bit about trade management Okay, but again the the bigger picture here is this is about order flow And then like how you can start to maybe dissect that And weave into your strategies Like early on in the in the webinar Someone said, uh, you know, you know, basically, uh trend lines are BS. Well, uh for him, yeah We're just mark marking up structure So obviously he's not a trend lined trader. Okay, fine Well, uh, in fact, what if you're still in here, uh, I forget who it was Uh, let me know what what do you trade? What do you look at? And then we'll take a look at order flow in terms of that filter Be sequences Yeah, yeah, if you're still in here and then let us know um, so You know, we're talking we've been talking about Kind of range bound. We've been talking about trend lines. We've been talking about volume profile here So many different ways to kind of slice and dice it here Brian No problem. You know, it's great. It's great that you watch you watch those videos that that's great that that'll provide you a great foundation. So um, uh, it's it's basic market mechanics Uh, and it's very different education than most others most others because they're not they're not accessing that kind of information Uh, and then that will allow, uh, you to then apply that to Any trading strategy. So I was just ending up here. We can apply these market mechanics here Be it trend lines horizontal lines ranges Uh, uh, it could be fib levels. I I think fib levels are bs Uh, or it could be moving averages or whatever it is uh Or volume profile Whatever it is Then then apply your order flow. Okay, so we're still looking for this to drop And we have our reasons behind it Okay being objective with the reasoning by reading the order flow is the key All right sellers, let's see it if you can do it here looking for it We just don't like that. See how it's all dark all the way up until there's supply up here basically So buyers can whip it right back up here, you know into some of these areas here Uh, but but aggressor wise Looking pretty good for a drop right without the heat map here looking pretty good for a drop Not seeing buyers not many buyers more sellers down here Okay, so a little bit more here that ought to kick it off at 89 and a half a little more selling here That ought to kick it off and we ought to get the breakdown Okay, just by the these two elements here alone Okay, we we put the heat map on that's when we get the extra insight though Interesting stuff David. I like like what you're doing With these options studies in there UV XY the stock yeah, we can take a look at that Guys our our move is start. It's looking pretty good again here. Uh, I'm And we got out we got a lot of a bit of a lot of back and forth in here uh Yeah, it's still still pretty dark in here though and and they can they can come back up into, you know 93 92 93 But this is a nice cluster here It looks like it's getting ready to to finally move here Boy, and we're not looking for much our higher time frame here. We're not looking for much You know, it's just we're just finding wicks down here in this five minute still continuing to buy here All right, well, you know, let's this this is something I've been wanting to mention for a while in here. Um We're seeing the buying wicks in here All right, so let's just go can I make these bigger? Hold on. I don't know how to do it. All right. Um, anyway, um Here we go. This is how we do it minute bars There we go. Okay all right, so That's not it quite either All right, we'll have to just go with the wicks. All right, so uh, we have some wicks down here Okay, well, where were their sellers in this range? Okay based on this five minute chart in here Hey, they're up here Right 95 So we've been basically banging around here What we've been looking for in this webinar is the continuation move Okay back down to 80 82 or or so 80 or 82 And we're looking for sellers down here and then we're looking for a continuation Now it's tested down here a couple times and we're still seeing sellers here This is even better now Looking for the continuation at this point. All right. Let's look at the order flow. We're getting our sellers All right looking for the continuation now. We're a little bit behind on this one It would maybe be looking for a pullback here or you're already in it Right around in this area right in here Now you would have been felt a little bit of squeeze right there But but we're looking for the continuation. Okay now this should work now right so Again, like, you know, you'd be you'd be getting involved in somewhere around in this area in here Since we're looking at a higher time frame. We kind of missed a little bit, but we might get a pullback here Again in terms of prime It's not it just it's just not we're not seeing this this commitment on the offer here We're just seeing the aggressors here Okay, by the aggressors though, it looks good Right, so we're looking for it. We've got a couple pieces here We got structure and we've got the aggressors. We just don't have the heat map Okay, but we're looking for the follow-through I mean that we got to go with you know, it's not prime. It's you know kind of secondary trade idea One thing I do like though on the higher time frame here is we've we found we were down here yet again Okay, do we find buyers yet again is the question Okay Usually when you get a couple of some tests back down here This is where you find the sellers Uh, and they're they're able to drive it through 80 are 80 kind of six level here And and and then hit down to lower levels explore and hit of lower levels here Okay, we're just not finding buyers lift it back up into the highs here 95 96 and we got that earlier We got our 95 96 up here We already had that move Okay, now we're making lower highs and lower lows here Okay, and yet again another squeeze top of the range Structurally it's still made a lower high here and a lower low here So still looking for the move lower Okay, and then there's a lot more selling in here than there is buying here And the sellers started to take control up here Okay, so they are still in control Yeah liquidity is getting filled on these dips, uh mc loco. That's a good point Right, so these guys these guys are buying here right in here They're getting filled Okay, we're coming up on our european close as well So maybe One scenario to look for is like wait till this kind of chop finishes and look for the follow-through After the european close A lot of times you get your your directional move right after Yeah, let's turn on a so that chris is asking about the cbd It will take off stops and icebergs for the moment Just to clarify here Well, yeah, here, you know, here's cbd dropping but price is dropping too But they are getting filled in here So we're seeing cbd really kind of drop here But it's kind of slowed down because they're they're in here getting filled on the uh and stopping the A price for moving lower Now that I don't really see divergence in here. Um Right now Chris We saw the beautiful divergence in here Okay, we do have a lot of buying up here Okay, so Uh, no, it's cbd looks pretty pretty good right now Maybe a little divergence here is what maybe what you're talking about A little more buying up here compared to over here And it's not able to get higher Yeah, that's that's showing weakness basically But we did we did get higher here now Oh, okay, you have them split out. Okay. Well, that's that's a nice feature we have here in book map If you go to your uh Split them out here and we'll go to also our colors make them Uh So you're looking at this this view here Yeah, okay, so they're both can be positive values in here just And then you see the kind of the the move away by one or the other Yeah, it's a good view. I mean, it's not my my my thing, uh, but uh, I like to look at just one line It's green because it's above the zero line. That's the only difference here It's not a buy signal or anything. It's just above the zero line If it's below the zero line, it'll be it'll be red In fact, let's see. I have it on chart range if I put on session range You'll see it's all green in here right now Because it's above the zero line Which is where? Yeah, zero lines way down here, right? So this is that move up net gap up at 9 30 Uh, another thing too. I know a lot of a lot of you guys, um Uh are looking at A lot of traders are looking at The first hour to hour and a half of trading Uh, you know, this is this is where and and here's why if we look at our candlestick chart Let me go to a 15 minute chart here for a minute You get these kind of Well, you can't really see it too well It's kind of stacked up But you get these volume smiles in here really a lot of volume in the in the open And then it tapers off the rest of the day and then picks up at the end of the day Okay, so you get this kind of volume smile is what it's called Uh, and uh, so what that what does that mean? Well, we're looking for the majority of the volume in here in the beginning of the of the session Uh, and what we want to look at or why traders look at that is then who who's like in control in that volume period that high volume period And where would they be out of control? All right, so if there's a whole bunch of buying in here on the overall Balance at or in balance, which we we have in balance indicators here Or you can look at cvd as well.  There's a bunch of buying in here All right, well, where would they get upended? Well, they certainly be upended below 88 here Certainly and that's the move we're looking for All right, so that that's how you can get your directional moves Or one way to get them If you're just looking in this is in in in essence in essence It is the same concept here of a volume cluster Okay, the cluster just happens to be this Here, all right So now if that's one big cluster Then we're looking for A move away from the cluster Down to here Or Into the cluster could be in here. Maybe just is range bound the rest of the day or A move away from the cluster All right, now let's just take that to a more granular level in here These volume clusters is the same in concept. It is the same It's not in concept at all. It is volume clusters Okay, and we're looking at the majority and the commitment of these uh traders in here Okay in the auction Okay, so we look for that in ranges in here and start to draw those up Okay, so for example, let's let's look at from this range on down And let's put that within our our range here From here to the current market, all right, we have volume imbalances in here volume is is equal Okay, there's a book in balance. There's more on the on the offer here by 14 percent 17 percent Okay, so let's see. Do we get some sellers then? If we get some sellers, then let's see if they can drop it back down to 88 Okay, there's a skew and supply up here And it's pretty dark in here. So sellers can can pretty easily drop it down down to 88 All right, and there's all sorts of trading strategies. You can evolve from that information right there So top of the range, there's an imbalance looking to trade it back into the range Uh, you have supply up here. They didn't get out of the way Getting our sellers here now if the sellers can get through that that little range in here Is the high volume notice right here in that range right here if we get sellers below this We have a higher probability of trading down to 88 and 87 And here they are okay sellers they they've got it here All right, they they can take control and move it to 88 Right now One way to possibly manage this then a consideration would be to you get involved here Then you're looking for taking out a partial profit down at 88. Maybe one tick in front of it Now if it doesn't work You you have a very very easy, uh risk assessment here just get out Here around here, you know 90 and three quarters. You can have a very tight stop here Because it should work We see sellers they're below that that high volume node Right and we came up to this top of the right. In fact, you could even get involved here trade it back down to poc Uh, take some off and look for the bottom range and take your full profit or try to hold it for a runner because you're looking for the overall trend direction here All right, so there's three different ways to to to consider that there All right, and what we're talking about again like what brian was asking we're talking about the order flow the conditions of the orders Within this range that we just studied Okay, we know where the buyers and sellers are We know where there's supply and there's demand Right and we're reading that context in here and that's what's giving us the insight See see how like we were just looking at that range and the point of control is here at 90 and a half And we saw sellers below it Okay, now they're providing liquidity here and they just got out of the way Okay, now we're back up here And buyers are in here now they're going to try to flip these sellers in here They're going to try to trap them and then they're going to try to trade it back up to the end of this range Right, so the point of control is a battle right now of this little range in here Right. Anyway This if you got involved in and this is why I like to to front run and try to take a profit I I would have had a full position on and I would likely be out. Yeah, I'd be out You know, um It didn't work It was it everything was set up for it nicely. It didn't work. This is where buyers came in and totally upended it here Okay, and they're going to go for the other side of the range Okay, and see see look how they're even supporting it here underneath and we're getting buyers and they're pulling here great We can even go higher here 94 Hey 95 Okay, looking pretty good to go to 94 maybe 95 95 50 okay, so It's been choppy and but this is the order flow and we saw it in here This is what we're looking at this little area in here A little bit higher Somewhere around in here that was the point of control of that range And that's no different than using the point of control for your bigger range here Which happens to be right at it. Anyway Or we're right at it right now Yeah, cashflow hunter the the volume dots are basically um a graphical Time and sales or in horizontal time and sales or let's open up a time and sales column So as you see these these numbers here like the the size here is representative of the You know the the dots in here Okay, there is actually not a one-to-one Representation here. These are volume dots in here We'd have to go to the volume dot settings if you really want to see it Then you'd have to go to total volume in here And you'd really zoom in here because total volume will give you a delta in here as well But with a pi display which can be kind of hard to read But Anyway, like once you start to zoom in here and you'll you'll split out every single transaction, right? Down to the the nanosecond or billions of seconds But when we start to see how these red are here, you know, we're still looking at 10, you know Micro seconds here, right? But if we once they zoom out a little bit more Then that becomes a pi display Right this this will show you your time and sales You're horizontal. Okay. This is kind of a representation of it When we look at the delta here, it's by minus cell And so you don't you won't see That in the dot see how it just absorbed these in here and it just made this green a little bit smaller That's what it does. Okay, so Right now if we look at it the delta is what? 23 right now we're going to add these two into it and it'll probably be 22 right Or 24, let's see. Oh because we added these two in here as well 21 23 1 and 1 so volume 23 And that was 21. There we go. So there's your calculation. Okay, so it was 23 minus those two by our cells So it's 21 All right, just just want to make the distinction so you guys know exactly what it is Right if you're going to try to match that up with your time and sales Okay, do we get up to we got up to 94 was still looking for it actually looking for 95 95 and a half here tough day um Yeah, I do look for divergences every now and then uh, usually chris. I don't use the cvd Too much I think you can kind of see the divergences in the order flow. You don't really need to use cvd I like to use cvd when I can't really read it And today's a not a bad example Like it's hard to kind of read there's buying and selling in here. So what's the overall? Yeah, and also I Really kind of a firm believer in um A few things about indicators number one Uh is they are a confluence. They're not a signal Read the order flow first Okay, the the um The the um Indicator will give you uh additional insight to the order flow All right, but the order flow rules And then secondly really understand and know what your indicator is displaying If you don't know it, then you don't know what you're doing is how I kind of feel I don't know what I'm doing. I'm just reading something and it's like, what does that mean? Uh, and then once I understand what it means, then I can put it into context Okay, so for example understanding divergences I you can really understand what a divergence means Uh, you're gonna get divergence here um You know, uh because uh here for example look buyers Lots of buying look at look at cvd Okay, this kind of equals out the buyers and sellers in here Uh, but cvd, you know going, you know up to the upside here. Well, there's diversions I mean price did make one tick higher, but you get the concept here Uh here, uh, you know, there's some selling just dropped a little bit But why you you should see price go up to like here based on this cvd reading Well, it didn't because it was absorbed by a lot of uh Uh buyers in here. In fact, we're probably going to see an iceberg in here And we do this is an iceberg So they're absorbing right in front of that high liquidity. Okay, so that's There's your absorption and your understanding. Wow, there's cvd. What's what there? Why is there a divergence here in cvd reading versus price? Well, now you just learned a ton about what's going on here plus Not just the absorption but the icebergs Okay, there's an iceberg in here All right, so now we know that Okay, and they're trading in here now if we can't get through here this 94 I'm looking for sellers down here at 93 and a half Okay, and in this micro range And if we get enough sellers down here Then I'm looking for the move back down into this liquidity down here 92 and a quarter Okay Traded into it and then we get kind of a move back down That's it didn't get down quite to that liquidity But anyway, that's the idea Okay, so we were looking for 95 and a half were up there top of the range Okay, that was all based on this reading then here Of that of that range that we're looking at this range in here All right, and then the point of control Right right here So this could actually be moved down a little bit more Is that anyway? um Yeah, I don't I've never really used cvd for for entering and exiting either Okay, whoa, I'm a little sorry behind the questions in here Pratigy welcome looks like you're new in here Um, yeah, there you go. Uh, Doug. Thanks for helping out there stops and icebergs uh also, uh Pratigy, uh, also the uh, you might want to look at that educational course I showed you earlier. It's under bonus materials on our youtube channel CVD is cumulative volume delta ukrainian new yorker Uh, thanks doug mbo uh showing stops and icebergs Yep Uh, and pratigy. So yeah, you can access if there's not 50 in here Looks like there are so we're kind of filled up I think or maybe there's a little some space in here Uh, but um Yeah, that's why we're over on youtube instead so you can watch it on youtube very choppy action Uh Last week as well monday and tuesday at least Okay, but one of the things like uh, you know We're still looking for this here on the higher time frame this scenario here Right now now look where we are. So we there were buyers down here We were thinking the third time at least when we saw sellers down here We're looking for them to get down to the bottom of the range at 88 or 86 I think it was and then the break down to 80 Okay, well we got more buyers. They came back in where did they go top of the range here Okay, now we're up into these wicks up here Okay, now we got to go through a couple scenarios in here on the higher time frame Okay, because we're not going to get much out of the 15 minute chart. I don't think um, nor We're getting a little bit out of the five minute We have a swing up here now We're looking to see if we get buyers back up above this area to try to carry it back up to 3900 or maybe even higher 05 Or you know 08, you know, whatever up up in here these where we found sellers previously Ranges here, right now we've come up to the top of this range Okay, so now we need to see is this a false breakout here And looking for sellers to come right back in and trade it back down to Point of control of this range here. So maybe back down to here around 92 or so Okay, and it's actually yeah 93 Okay, so we're at the top of this range here In book map Okay. Yeah, David you're looking at 3909 on spx Well, it's still still going higher here. We haven't we don't see we don't have any reasoning for this to Uh yet to Try to drop back down and trade back down into the range in the poc or You know back down into the middle of the range down here again Or or other side of the range. We don't we don't have any we're still seeing buyers here So kind of looking for 3,900 All right, now this is what we want to watch though pretty closely at least I'll be watching it closely is here um Somewhere around in here Our 95 50 that we were looking for that test to We're looking to see if we can get our sellers down here. This is a false breakout And then sellers really come in and pound it back down to the middle of the range Okay, so here they come Let's see it sellers. Let's see here's a retest already So this is this is order flow here. We're looking at order flow here Uh At the top of the range on this five minute chart Okay, and we're looking for it to reject up here and to come back down into the range All right, so we're looking for sellers in here Looking for more supply here at lower area, which is it's kind of doing not really doing it but somewhat uh, and then A few sellers in here Yeah, I'd take this. I think I would take this here, you know It's not a trade recommendation But yeah, I'm just looking for this to to hit down into 95 and a half and retest where it broke out from Uh, and then a continuation Right below our 95 and a half The offers starting to show here at 98 etc And I want to see sellers actually trade blaze through this area here Right through it like no bounce at all I want to see them disrupt it and You know, maybe a trap Right and come back down into this range here. So this breakout here becomes the trap Okay, we've seen it a million times. So we're looking for it. We're looking for it to break catastrophically right back down to To basically, uh, yeah 93 or even this one down here. So our 91 ish area here, right? Okay, so point of control is where here Okay, so we're looking for that to test as well here Okay around 93 All right, so this is a move from outside of the range back into the range All right, and then the directional move is from inside of the range to the outside and continuation All right, so this is now what's nice about this move here Uh is uh You can you can take this Trade it back down into, you know, maybe 93 You could take some profit And you could you could maybe take some profit down at 88 However You might look at the read the order flow though. It'll tell you Or give you the insight Um that uh, you might get the break of 88 at that at this point Right so you can even hold it The thing that is it goes with the this is the considerations I'm talking about in terms of the trade management that you can hold this for a bigger move Okay to go along with this scenario that we were talking about earlier We're at the top of this range. We're looking for rejection We're looking for the move back in but now we can also test the not only the bottoms But we can break it Uh and get down to 88 or 80. I'm sorry 38 80 All right, so You know Watch closely and manage your manage your trade accordingly All right, so you can see this is starting to work. It's already into the range here So now we're looking for that the sellers to trade it from the outside In to value Okay into just the most traded area down in here So it's you know, it's where we kind of outlined We had the 93 and then we also have this 91 Here and that's what we're looking for All right, all right guys, so this one went over I know tom has already started tom tom b starts at 11 30 Uh guys, he'll he'll be doing it every day here. So uh, well just for an hour and a half every day Uh, we kind of changed up his schedules a little bit. Uh, you know, we were just kind of blessed and um Uh Very nice treat to have him like for four and a half hours Four hours a day.  Let's try this Uh, every day for an hour and a half. So at least every day you get something. All right All right guys, um Oh good. Yeah. Thanks david. Thanks mcloco. Uh, and um Yeah, dug you're still looking for the reverse lower on that spot gamma. Yep, I agree. Uh, and uh, hopefully we can See this uh a continuation. It's really been bouncy. Um, this this trade is still on though or this trade idea here. Uh, and um, Boy, I don't know. I think it's testing my break even right now somewhere around in here You know, and you can see what this is just it's not a trade recommendation Like, you know, this is like we're just kind of reading the order flow and this is now starting to not work out Okay So what then you you know, you you maybe we almost got down to 93 or point of control here Uh, and then you can see buyers coming in and supporting it and it's bounced back up Okay, well we look for that not to happen and then we look for uh, you could take it again Right. So maybe you got stopped out at break even or break even plus one or something Right, and then you can look again for the same setup in here and then the continuation Right. So this way like yeah, you're adding to your broker's pocket But you're you're really reducing your risk. You're looking for it to move Uh, and uh, really reduce your risk because with the order flow, that's the the benefit we have that you're looking for it to move now uh, and um because because you have the the edge of looking at order flow And uh, yeah, if it doesn't work out didn't work out Take the next one When the next one presents all right So, uh, yeah, thanks guys. Well, we'll wrap it up. So, uh, I'll be away. Um, I will not be tomorrow here tomorrow on nor friday and uh, but uh, uh j trader will be in on wednesday Uh, we have sam who will be covering The webinars with j trader and scott scott is actually away next this or this thursday as well so note that And then the week after i'm also away All right, so but sam will be in for scott and j trader as well all right Yeah, thanks for coming everybody.

Hi everyone this is Jason here from Nathaniel. In this lesson we are going to learn my arrangement of the great Beatles song When I'm 64. So it's a solo piano arrangement so what that means is there's no option of playing with a band playing with a singer it's just you on the piano and what I like about this arrangement or what I enjoyed while creating the arrangement was the fact that the piano is not the driver of this song the piano is not the main force of the music so that allows us to think creatively to figure out options which might suit the piano and I've also tried to look at lots of commonly used solo piano options you know adding the thirds embellishing the melody I've also focused a lot on the bass in this lesson because the bass line is really cool and I've paid a lot of attention towards copying or being inspired from all the elements which are there in the existing song which is obviously the melody the vocals there's a lot of other instruments as well there's drums there's bass bass is huge and then there's obviously the horn and the wind section where there's a lot of fillers passing notes which I've designed on the piano in different octaves so the way I'll do this lesson will basically be I'll tell you the melody as well as the left hand backing together in one shot otherwise it may get confusing to then bring in the left hand later and we'll go section by section there's an intro and an outro which are ditto then there's a a section or the verse and a b section you could call it the next part or part b or chorus or whatever okay so the song is on the original key I'm teaching you the arrangement based on the original key which is D flat major D flat as you may know has five flats basically all the black notes and the white notes will be F and C that's about D flat the song is on four by four and it's swung so what that basically means is the eighth note which was which once may have been tadadadadada will now be so that's what you call a swing it's important to understand the difference between straight music and swing music and when I'm 64 is a great song which is already swung right it's not it's not not ta-da-da-da-da, it's ta-da-da-da-da-da, okay? So those are the fundamentals you could say of the song. So now let's get cracking and if you read sheet music, what might help is we have this entire notation as a PDF available on our Patreon page. Do head over to our Patreon, get yourselves a copy and obviously there'll be notation for every other lesson we will be putting out and also the previous lesson. So it's all there on Patreon for a simple subscription fee of about $5 a month or you could choose some of the other subscription packages as well, which you may find useful, right? So let's get cracking with the arrangement. So let's first do the intro, the intro, the melody will go, okay? So starting with F with your thumb, okay? And what I've done with the intro is I've also added some embellishments. So I'm going... So we call that a choral part. You could, you could perhaps say that that's the tenor part. If this was the soprano, it's a nice little counterpoint. The melody goes, melody goes, and the tenor harmony goes, okay? So that's the tenor harmony and you'll find that in the song, but the Beatles arranged it so well with so many instruments. So one challenge which I had was what parts to keep in the arrangement and obviously what parts have to leave. Not because I wanted to throw them away, but it's just because it's just physically impossible at least for me to play all the parts in the song. Sometimes you get a bit carried away with the piano as it kind of feels like a one-man orchestra.  So it's such an incredible instrument because your two hands are always free. Anyway, so coming to the melody, so we split the melody into parts, soprano and tenor at the end of the intro, B flat, A flat, G flat, F, okay? And then I've just added that for fun, it's a bluesy thing. So and now you'll see how this complements with the left hand. The left hand is basically playing D flat and A flat, sort of like exactly what the bass guitar does in the original song. You should definitely hear the original song, it's a great song and if you haven't heard or have not listened to the Beatles, you have missed something, right? The Beatles is something which will really inspire you at any level, any genre, whatever you want to play as a musician, you have to go through the pathway which is Beatles, okay? So you go, the left hand I'm going to show you, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum. Let's do that first with the melody, okay?  Just to kind of harmonize the soprano again. Let's do the whole intro again with the bass, pum, pum, pum, and that takes you into the verse. So the same story with the outro, the only difference I'm doing there is, I'm just kind of ending it there, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum. Just do root fifth octave, any octave. So this is the outro, okay? So that's about your intro, outro, now let's do the verse. The verse is obviously the lyrical part, right? When I get older, losing my hair, many years from now, okay? Let's work it. I think two lines at a time or two sentences at a time, when I get older, losing my hair, many years from now, that particular part. So the same thing as the intro, same melody almost, right? For that line and the same bass pattern as well. So let's get that going. When I get older, losing my hair, many years from now, from now go up to the higher A flat. So many years from now and then, so that's pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, that's the little horn thing or the oboe or clarinet, I guess, which you hear in the background, high pitch. And I've harmonized that because on a piano, you can harmonize anything, I guess, so. And the descending, the other part, soprano, and two, two, two, two, two, two, two, okay? One more time. Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, losing my hair, many years from now, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa. Okay? The next line moving forward, will you still be sending me a valentine? Now that's quite easy visually, but it's a bit tricky because it's using a lot of chromatic. So will you still be sending me a valentine? Get my fingering. Okay, and whenever you practice the melody, try to practice the melody with your snaps of the left hand. Don't let your left hand chill out and be idle. Do something with the left hand to help you groove. So the way I like to groove with my left hand is always snap on the two and the four. So don't do, you don't get that swing feel, right? So you should probably go, okay, so keep the two and four snaps. You see me snapping all the time. It's not some random thing for fun. It's very important. It's part of the learning. Okay? So that whole sentence, will you still be sending me a valentine birthday greetings bottle of wine? So will you still be sending me a valentine? Probably use the thumb there and then birthday greetings, birthday greetings, bottle of wine, bottle of wine. So as you can see in the notation, lot of accidentals, bottle of wine. So accidental means those are notes which the artist has added to kind of add flavor to the song because it's going out of the scale. So it's just adding this additional embellishment, which the song clearly has, then birthday greetings chromatic from C up to E flat, birthday greetings, then bottle of wine, bottle of wine. Another chromatic, but ending there. And then the left hand goes the same pattern, but on A flat since the chord is A flat major. So hope the left hand was good there. And then birthday greetings, I'm following what the bass is doing, birthday greetings. So I'm harmonizing the melody, that's exactly what's there in the song as well, which you should hear. So birthday greetings and the bass goes birthday greetings and then bottle of wine, come back to your usual root 5 groove. So the whole second line, climb back to the next line. The first half of the third sentence is pretty much the same, right? And then would you lock the door, I've tried to add some interest on the keyboard by again bringing in some of those harmonic layers. So very important tip. So I hope by teaching you this arrangement, first of all, it'll be the start of many more and also it'll be your gateway towards all these different techniques, which you can use to your own favorite songs, I hope. So let's look at the third line again. So would you lock the door, lot of things are happening. First of all, I'm bringing back some harmony in the right hand. So instead of doing would you lock the door, would you lock the door? Instead of that, I'm doing would you lock the door. I'm adding these additional hits, which you can see in the notation. So would you lock the door, add some harmonic vibe, primarily because if you play chords in the left hand and the melody is already so deep, right? The melody is around middle C, because I'm playing it in the singer's register. I don't want to play, to my ear, I don't like playing it there, which is why I've even put an octave sign in the notation for you to follow. So I'm playing it around here. Now would you lock the door? And what does the bass do while would you lock the door happens? Would you lock the door? That's so that's D flat, E flat, F, G flat. And the word door needs to come in a bit earlier, so little bit of independence there. So the whole third sentence. So when I do, so I'm adding a nice little bass embellishment there, which may not be in the song. So pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, okay, that's the whole thing again, third line, I'll play it again, okay, and now will you still need me, will you still feed me part? Okay, I'll play it once and then teach you, okay, so this is, I guess the trickiest part of the song. So I'm trying to put in like a jazzy walking bass, which you'll find, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, and then pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, which is the horn part, right. So okay, let's first do the bass, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, F sharp, Ab, Ab, D flat, so, okay. And the right hand, you see the parts which I'm adding there, F sharp, F, normal F, then will you still feed me? So, will you still feed me, pump, pump, pump, pump, that's the chord note, chord root and it's 5th. Will you still feed me flat F, pa, pa, and then, so let me play the whole thing again. Will you still feed me pa, pa, pump, pump. Let me play that whole thing again, okay, pa, pa, pa, so it goes to the bass, so I hope you've got the left hand, try to sing it along, that generally helps, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, okay, and then let's talk about the right hand, then only the right, okay, that's quite easy, you just add that extra part with the bass, that becomes a little tricky. Okay, now when I'm creating these jazzy chords, that gives you like an E flat 9th sound, that's like an A flat 13th sound there, so one more time, I'm imagining like an entire horn section or something playing that together, so piano is really awesome in that sense, if you can digest what's there in an existing song, can always bring it to the keyboard, it's always a possibility, which is why I always like doing arrangements or covers of songs, some of which may not even need the piano, you can see some of my covers, I've done a Nirvana song of all the songs, we've done a Nirvana cover, I've done one of my favorite bands from India Parva's cover, so most of those songs I try to do in a sense that the song doesn't have the piano, so what could the piano do, so that could be a way you can work forward, don't always cover songs which are piano songs, you know, because that has been done before, you know, so you try to think a bit out of the box sometimes, that can also be of great value, okay, so this is the whole verse or the A section, however it ends with, let me just show you the ending, so it's a simple D-flat arpeggio, in triplets, okay, whole A section, let's get it done slowly, you can play along if you wish, climb, repeat, third line, climb, okay, so that's the entire A section, check out the notation as well or rewind the video, whatever way you can to kind of learn it and let's move on, so the next section I've completely changed the feel of it, I've tried to make it a bit more melancholic to see if it adds something different to the song, right, so let's get cracking with the B section, right, so for the B section I'm kind of taking the entire melody up a notch or up an octave, instead of doing trying to play it here, so I think that first line is quite easy, it's literally just this, okay, so that's that, and figure out some of those off beats where he kind of precedes the beat, if it's not too dear, he's not, if it's not too dear, that'll be a bit too cheesy I guess, so and then, so the left hand is basically starting with the B-flat minor, root and fifth, then you climb and play all and then play thirds, right, so third, third, third, another third, end on F-flat and then you groove in the left hand, okay, that's like a B-flat minor inversion where you go the top two notes first and you stop there, one more time with the bass, bass is slightly tricky, you may want to hold down the pedal because if you have to jump from here to here, the pedal will really help, also I've put a marking to kind of play it softer, okay, in comparison with the earlier, that's a bit more lively, but when we go to this second part, trying to make it a bit more melancholic and now you bring it up and then let's move on to the next sentence which is, so here I've tried to kind of emulate the backing vocals, add some of my own harmony and just try and put it all together, right, so that's that line, we shall scrimp and save, so it goes, we shall scrimp and save, so the soprano will go save, but the other harmonies go, okay, and the word save, the soprano can be held with this finger, so it goes, we shall with the lower third, we shall scrimp and and save, hold on to the soprano there and the left hand, we shall, quite easy, just a B-flat, we shall scrimp and okay, I'm just adding the base of the song, so there's a kind of a crescendo there, how do we create the crescendo, first of all by building the intensity, okay, and then you drive it, or you can figure out any other way you want to build the chord, you know, like you can just basically go crazy there, I guess, right, that could work, okay, let's just do the two lines again, and then let's move on, okay, so there I'm going to like these staccato chords with the melody, okay, but I'm harmonizing the melody because the piano otherwise may sound a bit weak at the top end, so that harmony and then some nice staccato octaves there, add that intensity one more time, okay, now the Virachak and Dave bit, which is pretty much exactly what's going on in the song, which goes Virachak and Dave, and I'm coming down to Dave at the lower end, so what I have done is kind of do an interplay with the right hand and left and there, and I'm whacking this twice there in succession, Dave, Dave, you come down and then that's the other instrument, I guess the clarinet also in the song, so Virachak and Dave, right, so let me show you that, now you need both hands together, there's no point in doing left hand and right hand separately, we have to do it together, so Virachak and Dave, get that start with your thumb, so that's left, right, left, left, right and it ends with the dominant A flat chord, one more time, and then the out row, which I told you earlier, okay, so it's a very very interesting song and I think it'll be quite challenging for you at any level, if you're a beginner, what I would suggest you to do is ignore all the harmonic embellishments notated in the right hand, just don't do any of the harmonic embellishments, just focus on the melody, so you can just do it, just do only the soprano part, if you're an intermediate or an advanced player, played exactly as it's written and then have some fun, have your own improvisation around it, and I would always encourage you, if you have a strong backing of chord theory, make a note of the chords, make a note of each chord before you play and it may also help to get yourselves a copy of the notation, it'll be available on our Patreon, so do head over there and get yourselves a copy right now and support the channel, it'll be awesome, right, so this is When I'm 64 by The Beatles, an amazing song which does not really have the piano, it's more vocals and horns and bass and big band and what not, I hope you found the arrangement useful and I hope it can help your growth as a piano player, right, again this is Jason here from Nathaniel, thanks a ton for watching the lesson,
