igh there's your beginning of your trigger break low trigger pullback potential short in here stop here or here that's your call break high break low pullback still structure this is your target I think up here is a little better myself scale depending where you're in target still have the possibility to come back here and again no idea but this is the structure remember retail trader behavior where's just stops under here so potential to get under here and then what don't know or not so let's observe this is better with the audio what do you think so is the audio okay okay thank you yeah sometimes you got a mute the microphone you know that one of those things this is our potential target down here retail trader behavior and stops under again no idea this was our target on the upside horseshoes close microstructure for triggering right here see no way to know it's not going to push the thing is you have the consolidation the trigger happens you get the false break high break low that is your trigger then it's a retracement where's the volume the volume is here so that's kind of your backstop and this becomes your target and then potential here mean reversion let's see what it does again no idea right if you put it in the sense of the auction this was a test of the in aisle three in a in the timeframe relative to a artifact left behind that was too high we came back to check it pretty close no perfection right no perfection then what if it's too high and now we have a trigger where the retail stops they're here under here so that would be your primary target if we get inside then it's potentially now we could do two things here we can come under on these stops you see the stop divergence this is a potential buying structure for the counter rotation you can come up pick stops here if there's no follow-through above here then here so if this then that if this then that if not then back so you see the so we are incorporating potentially auction-based behavior plus retail behavior because we got the stops here ran out of sellers came up took the buy stops retail trader behavior then it's two possibilities up or so if this then that if we take the stops we don't get back above than this if not then what then that up does that make sense so we get back above here we can come back inside okay if we don't after this then this that's next on the hip parade let's watch a little manic today I don't mean me I mean the market but that's the market you know when you get volatility like this you notice the risk goes up and the range goes up you have to have a plan that fits this or drop down to the micros if you know or whatever or go on simp whatever you know it's I everything's got to fit your plan in your risk tolerance and account size you know if you're if you're actually trading today and we know FOMC can be you know abusive remember retail trader behavior here here here we're still in mean reversion a lot of volatility gotta watch for the pick of the stops up here this is where it fails so we want to watch this structure right here against this structure right here right here come up above here it's probably gonna take these guys out not a recommendation if not then we might continue here that's it don't know and if we do take these guys out we want to observe the behavior are you guys with me so where the stops we can stay under this I be and not get this top out then we have the potential to get these guys under here this is so that's why this is the next area to observe if we get these guys then that's that you know just think retail trader behavior now there's two things with the retail traders they got stops here and they got stops here we're inside the IB so this is the IBF right so now we got to see so this is mean reversion which doesn't mean anything mean reversion right going for here mean reversion is returned to balance mid wherever that is somewhere in here so mid VWAP V puck there's your targets for this part of it right I think it's okay what do you guys think so everybody following so that's what mean reversion is now what happens after that no idea to me this is the primary objective of mean reversion is the fuel in a return to the mean mean reversion after that there's no way to know it can be a long out of here back to the IB high it can also just be a counter rotation off of there and the potential to come back to the other side and I have no idea of course right I never know anything so I just know maybe always and then it's a matter of privacy for me it's a confluence of things it's the auction of course but it's retail trader behavior so up here we know where the stops are right above the IB and we know where the stops are on the other side the mid VWAP and this is the mean so that's why how the trade is structured you say now what happens in between I know I know if I stay under here or even retrace and pop it and come back down it can repeat and I can come back inside again so we'll see so for me the primary objective of this has been accomplished and it doesn't mean I can't activate inside of all this but I'm just trying to share let's call it primary concepts and then you know you can take it much further than this you know but you need to kind of understand what the potential behaviors are of these things based on auction market theory and what you see right in front of you especially when it comes to targeting and you know that's why this was the primary because we don't know I mean it could come keep going you know come down to the other side or not or come back and take these guys out now that are here remember and here they go so now let's watch my poor little computer is starting to groan I mean does your computer make noises mine is like a little pit bull it growls at me okay let's watch the behavior stop pick so let's see what it does right here retail we got him on that side we got him on this side so what happens right here is important watch this structure right here a little micro high volume you can see the node what do we do come back in push out what do you think don't know if there was a long off here which we did not and that's not you know anything I think about at the moment it would be this would be the target for your scale or all out so now and because it's trading into stops so now if this again is assured it's the same trade again not saying it is I'm just saying if it was is everybody tracking so I'm trading a confluence of behavior in retail behavior I'm using the retail behavior as targeting so now I have longs they got the stops above the IB now there's the potential for shorts for the stops again now under here mean reversion still not of recommendation can you see it what you've got here is v-punk v-wap mid buyers now I'm not I have no clue who's gonna win this little fight we took these guys out they got long we took these guys out now we got short now somebody's gonna flinch which side who's vulnerable these guys so that's the trade so inside to here squeeze to here structure here short back inside you be scaled again you're coming back here theoretically speaking we're just saying we're observing potential behavior and these aren't trade recommendations right because we don't know and we don't call trades anyway here but it's something you can study and think about right because we don't know what's gonna happen if you take this out then back north of the border if you don't take this out these guys are now on the hip parade can you see it repeat you dance with the snake in it with that NQ same process works in NQ by the way actually works across all markets they have liquidity pretty squirrely isn't it see right here so we have a selling structure we have a retracement to it right here in the volume see it we have a buying structure so we have two sides right here you got the volume in here is your support you have the volume in here is your resistance whichever side folds up right here that's gonna tell you which way we're gonna potentially go not a recommendation we got to watch so let's observe it see the volume which comes out of here see the volume which comes out of here which is the test here so this is your fight right here this is trench warfare see it so I can look at this and I can say okay this is this is the this is it this is the fight whichever side folds it's gonna break out that's all I know and even that I don't know we're holding this and we got this so one side is gonna throw the towel and I'd have no clue except I know there stops here I know we got the stops up here so who wears the fuel if we can get under this volume here if not and it's a fight you can see it it's like it's like war whichever side retreats and folds it's gonna release that energy and I can't tell you which one so that part I don't know yeah I mean not that I know anything but we're seeing the fight right and one side will capitulate that's why whenever you do any of this stuff you got to get scaled because you don't know so so far you see it the volume is across here the volume is across here so let's observe it see one side is starting to fold up so let's see okay watch the structure here does look like the buyers have it though we'll see we have not taken this out really is a shootout at the okay corral isn't it this is the high here this is your structure this here so that's why when I talk about this I say well you really want to hide behind the structure now I don't know I'm still continuously clueless chop chop chop chop break right break low now you got your volume here I have no idea and that's okay because I never do all we have is structure and potential the key of all this is to get risk-neutral and then see if we get to the target before we take out the structure you lean on you know and that still puts this online if we can break down if not we're gonna squeeze and take all this out and then we go back up again that's all there is again they're not recommendations it's just what might happen and that's all you ever know what's interesting is down here we really you can see it we had these guys the buyers here and we had the seller side up here where you can see the fight was when we released this now we had another shot here came down to this volume which is what we tested here tested again and then we lift it off now you don't know what it's gonna do but I think you can read it and then you you know what do you do about that you know well do you cover what's your trade plan it's a whole different topic right but I think you can kind of stay engaged with it now here I think was the last shot you know here now we've taken the structure out now we'll say this is a selling structure potentially not a recommendation let's observe it again it's all you got it's really volatile and it's you know if it's not your trade I'm not saying it's mine I'm just trying to narrate it for you but we are you know you just have to be conscious that we had a shot and we didn't get it so you know it can do anything from here if we fall back inside and we can get back inside then we're back on the same thing again and it's just potential right what you need in my opinion is you need to build a trade plan around this and if this is too erratic you can go this is not my time kind of trade you know we are trading news and we're trading you know a big event and there's a lot of volatility apparently you know this is the same process you know what this is is still mean reversion we're still going for this right so that's why for me the whole thing or the number one item is the risk neutral aspect of it you know and if you're careful where you get in and you can see where it fails you know then the scale because one of these potentially is going to get to our target because it's still mean reversion it hasn't changed it's volatility you know and chop and it's it's the range is you know why we're getting the opportunity because of the volatility so we'll see if we get back into this because these are the targets it is pretty wild so if you're taking this you would be scaled right so you would be risk neutral even if you got it in here against here chop chop this little consolidation break high break low pullback to this stop could be over here and you're inside this higher structure break high so you're inside a higher structure break low break high chop so all this is selling structure scale helmet targets are here stops are above the I be hard so we could get a check or not if not then our next stop on the hip parade might be down here might this all this mean reversion plus retail stops or not or back above here and squeeze and there's no way to know so it's a matter of what is the context and trying to stay in alignment with it well I'm Rainier I'm glad it helps Rainier you're in Switzerland right okay we want to watch the behavior this is our area remember mean reversion so we'll see what it does there's also going to be stops under here but this is the primary objective of mean reversion retail stops are under here so we're kind of interested in all this so we'll see what it does retail stops are here up here trade fails over here if you run tight stop especially over here good chance you'll get taken out if we stop and we pick this and then come back inside it really doesn't change anything but the stops here are easy picking because retail trader behavior so we'll see what it does they can do anything right so let's observe if you're over in YouTube feel free to come over to the bookmap discord traders lab it's a collaborative group of traders like minded and trying to get better so it's a collective forensic research unit think of that and it also pinned to the top of the trader lab chat is PDFs you can download of examples of these behaviors so you can kind of look at them you know in the calmness versus like in this kind of volatility and see the same structures and behaviors documented and there's also an introductory webinar on how I use volume profile auction market theory and I think what I do is kind of unique in some ways you know but it doesn't and all it is is a basis of something to think about and to understand get a better understanding of market mechanics you know why it does what it does you know an indicator doesn't tell you why if you understand the why I think you'll be a better have the potential to be a better trader and not look at I don't use any indicators and you know because I don't want the conflict they create and they look in the river you mirror and most of them are derivative of moving averages you know if they're oscillators so I don't think too much about that and it's not that I haven't worked with them I certainly my path is similar probably to all of you it's just I've done it longer and started earlier so the but something you need to always keep in mind is the rotations are random and when you're sitting when you're looking at something like this and you go oh yeah here we go and then it comes up like this how does that impact you psychologically you know you need to learn about yourself and you'll never look in the mirror until you sit in front of a and you trade and look at the monitor because you'll never have to see your fear and your triggering mechanisms the fight or flight and all that you never really face it on a many many times in a day you know like we do here in trading so it's a new experience for us you know one moment you think it's all good and then the next moment you're willing you're ready to jump out the window and bail out you know all those emotions right you feel well we all know that's why this business is more a statistical game and it's not an emotional these are vulnerable here so we can reach into this and if we don't go anywhere then back here or never so you don't know so you just hang out let the trade ferment like a fine wine right the key to the trade is always getting risk neutral and then see if you're if you play out and where this trade fails up here it doesn't fail here because that's where retail stops are so the market has a tendency to come back here so for me I don't want to put my stop there if theoretically I mean if I had a trade and it's not a recommendation it's that we understand retail trader behavior and we want to think like a retail trader we don't want to act like what 96 stops going off you see where we go here this so we can come up into this and if we just pop and there's no follow through then we have the potential and there they are so let's see we have we still have the potential unless we go rocketing through here then the trade will probably fail this is your stop pick so now we got to observe the behavior is everybody tracking so this trade is probably going to fail so let's see big ball to me okay talk to hundred fifty five ice for BS by five hundred board close no cigar now I'm only discussing these relative to a full failure there is no trade management in this conversation right that's something you guys have to just you know kind of determine how you would want to manage the trade and there's a couple ways to think about it one is reversal triggers like this here you see it that's a reversal trigger is that your exit or what or is it above this is it above this where is it all that's up to you I'm just showing you triggers scaling targets the trade plan is yours you know and that's in the reason for that is it's something you have to vet and create and create statistics and everybody is different as far as what their objectives are in the time frame they want to operate it I operate in the inside-out time frame because of where I want to know how I execute trade management is a different issue and I can't solve that for the individual trader I hope that makes sense like you know I think this is a lot you know and then it's up to you guys you know how you want to you know which how you want to use it if it if it you find any value you know are you Senate no Steve you can't tell who's who they're not tagged by that we do know icebergs you know are more sophisticated than us you know that part we know but you never know are they getting along are they covering the short what are these guys doing I have no idea you know I thought this was a pretty good trade but you know but it was either here or here right and after the pick we can either come back in which I think we did one time right wasn't it here yeah say and get to here we didn't get there close so this is a structured you know potential whether they work or not is the other part of the you know the thing but it is a risk-neutral so my thing is to try to get risk-neutral and then your trade management comes after that you know that's something you need to do but I think these are all usable yes recent I find my targets well which ones are you referring to what kind of targets the developing targets that's what this is this is the developing time frame and it's mostly built on retail trader behavior the higher time frame targets our volume profile created multiple time frames this is an intermediate time frame and it's built on previous behavior where we had overlap this is a higher time frame a low volume area that we can pass through this is an artifact left behind from a previous day when we last time we traded up here which I gotta look and see when it was but I can look back this is from that naked volume point of control is May 20th so we haven't been up here since May 20th so we checked it and if we don't get back here then we can in other words the market at the moment is saying this might be too high if it we don't get back here and take it out then we still can come and return which is the basis by the way of the shorts off the top back through here and looking for this see there's the basis of it the fact that we didn't do something is it's trading you know so now this is back on potentially we could still do this and if we get through it then we have more upside and again I have no idea because this might be done to the upside or we but this is a bullet train and we can come all the way back up inside I gotta look at a higher time frame chart now absorption ES sellers at 38 20 no billing honor yourself honor yourself that's your kind you're in the trade alone yes short to be short to be Kim I enter my trades on bookmark right here you can execute right on the chart which is really the way I like to do it so right here you know you just I mean there is a dome but I find it's better for me not to look away so you know theoretically you know I can put it in so mean I get filled I don't know if I want to be filled but let's just say you know so there you know so now it's a bracket order you know OCO so yeah it's it's I really like it because I cannot now I can move these around you know if I want you know that kind of thing so yeah so and because I want to be right here if I'm looking over at a dome I always found that you know I it was hard for me to do that you know absorption ES sellers at 38 24 short to be short to be rare I use investor RT by Linsoft but it's it was one of the early software products that was really oriented and did a great job with volume profile so I think I got it in 2007 or something I mean I use CQG when I first started doing market profile in the 80s CQG you know was I think CQG is the first one to get it because I think I was using CQG in 85 somewhere in the early 80s but you know the old TQ 2020s and then they got their system one and I think it was the system one that had market profile kind of hard to remember but I use CQG most of the time you know up until more around 2000 I guess the log was okay over here huh what do you think yeah quote Ron yeah yeah I'll repeat I don't know you know it is I after learning IRT and all the programming the stuff I did and I just can't deal with it anymore you know I don't want to learn a new piece of software it's just one of those things besides it's insignificant the scheme of them it's just like book map in the MBO package and you know rhythmic data you know what is it five points in the ES per month or something like that you know I don't think too much I mean can the tool give me five points in a month I hope though it's just cost of production you know and it's like losses are cost of production and there's overhead to run your business you're gonna turn the electricity on you got a cost that's I mean that's my mental state about it I mean I always want to spend less obviously you know but again it's learning different tools in the time it takes and I did you know years ago I did custom coding and stuff here you know which isn't really material but anymore but early on so that was kind of what I did so yeah I'm kind of like oh leave me alone no more no more I don't want to put my energy into that you know into those areas how are we doing here with the naked volume point of control if I had held this this would be the target right ahead of this so you know why because it has statistical probability so let me see here 20 I guess I should have held that one no 10 points what do you think sorry the only coding I did was early on I did coding on what was the development chassis of trade station when I was doing system design before trade station was available so I did that kind of coding and that was really more retail friendly coding so because I was developing system so yeah but IRT is more the coding I have an IRT is really kind of a different different animal it's simple it's really you know once you do it I never want to throw it away because of the brain damage I got trying to write code you know it's not my thing I'm not it's just not my thing but this market is interesting well Rainier I think there's a lot of guys who use Sierra you know I mean you can use whatever works you know it doesn't really matter it's it's whatever you know I mean when I back when I was doing my thing here before I got into IRT I don't think we had Sierra or Ninja I think those came out around 2000 or so maybe late you know I can't remember anymore but I just didn't go there you know you kind of you kind of stick with something yeah Mark you know bookmap is an order flow tool and for me it's a execution platform you know and then I'm using what I read in the auction and you can see this on other platforms I don't know about the interday you know if you can see you can slice it down like this that part I'm not aware of but this is very important for me to read these microstructures and I'm doing the same thing the same thing that's manifest over here I'm doing the same thing in here you know that that long this is a microstructure that is a buy trigger this is a buy trigger this is the retracement right to the micro volume that was right in this structure chop chop chop break low break high buy trigger pull back to volume long and I'm just sitting here I'm going yeah okay I just want to show you that don't you know how we execute using the on-chart very simple aligned with the trend target was this so that would be a target for me then there's another one up here but the point is this is how I work is I just kind of go it's like stepping off the curb running across the street to the next sidewalk this is a 10 point trade right target was sitting out there so I mean we knew that but I anyway I'm just saying right repeat you must be having a fun day here you can use rhythmic in fact with rhythmic there with their API you can basically run bookmap and rhythmic off of one feed and also there's an order transport so you'd be executing over you know through rhythmic you know as opposed to paying extra you know for another license for two as long as drawn the same computer you know so there's an API for that I have no issue with it and I'm pretty thrilled to only pay for one one iteration and not like quote to you know pieces of software so now if you're a countertrend trader this is a short this is would be your target coming down we're going into the cash close right you can see it can't you hear but now this coming see so we had this on the way up now we have it on the way down price check so let's observe it and I have no idea but if you're a countertrend kind of guy not necessarily my game but there's range you see so from here to here is a ten-point move is that doable you know you know from here up to you where's our structure down below here so let's see not a recommendation I'm just want trying to help you read this thing because it's if it's not in your trade plan you're not a fader you know Darth fader but when you see this you might think of it as a reversal structure is that a trade management tool and I'm putting the question mark out there because I want you to think about it standard trader there are no deals if there is one you called me up and let me know Peter you just got to do what works you know whatever you know there's no see the randomness of all this so if you were short here this would be your scale and then helmet potential back where here or not we don't know so retail stops are under here and we're running out of time aren't we and then of course you got this if you get here you may never get there so it's trade management look where we are so you do need a trade management process this was the long this was the next target you could be done or you're still leaning against this level break low break high you know there's nothing I'm just telling you for me this was area of interest this is a potential short back to there and then hold to the retail behavior which is here and then again back to here don't know again don't know but I want you to think about structure how do you use structure can you use these triggering mechanisms to engage to engage to engage manage manage manage manage break low pull back out or short see however you want to play it just something you can think about right that's why I'm here in the trader lab give you something to think about and then you know and then in the lab the objective is that all of you guys that are part of the trader lab think about this stuff and shape it it's like clay mold it into something and we all share it and work together on it you got an idea put some metrics to it though let's kick it around you never know what's going to generate an idea and then someone takes your idea and makes it better otherwise we're just alone and I don't see why that that's an advantage remember here right this is doable what do you think this and then maybe this but this why retail trader behavior are you guys getting something from this okay and remember if you're sitting over in YouTube hanging out with your feet up on the desk I invite you all to the discord book map trader lab so you can collaborate and be part of a community and it's interactive so unlike YouTube you know where you can ask questions but you're not part of a community if you think there might be value in that based on what you see here and derivatives of this approach and it's just not just this approach but this is kind of what we're building ideas around in the trader lab and you're also invited there's free education for everybody whether you're a book map subscriber or not on futures stocks how do you use these tools with stocks options crypto if you crypto if you want to you know walk on the wild side there's something you can do something with there's a lot of different traders and different product you know not just yes you know subject to what you're you know what your thing is also you come to the trader lab join a community there's also just for coming in there's about 80 downloads of PDFs I created of examples of these behaviors that you can review and think about it maybe incorporate them into your process if you see any value in them and there's a primary webinar I did that kind of gives the kind of a snapshot of the approach at least my interpretation of volume profile auction market theory and mechanics and it's just there to kind of get you a kick started if you're inclined you know you may look at this and say now this isn't for me and that's perfect because that's the only purpose that's the purpose of me doing this but if you're been kind of trapped in indicator world looking in the rear view mirror try to curve fit something you may find that there's with indicators you're not learning market mechanics and you're always looking for something and really a plug-and-play solution but you're not even conscious of that because you think that's what trading is trading is not indicators I mean they might support what you do if you can find a way to integrate them but in the end it is market mechanics and indicators are reflective of what's going on in the market it might be helpful to really understand what goes on in the market why this is a potential short understand why this is the target and from this to here I think is okay if you think it's okay this is market mechanics yeah right you need DX feed for stocks if you're not going to trade ES you don't really need rhythmic really because you can trade stocks you never have to trade the ES and then you don't need rhythmic rhythmic provides only CME gives you could mark a buy order so you can see the stops and the icebergs you don't see that and you don't with the stocks stocks don't have this you will see the liquidity in the order book which is in stocks they the behavior is a bit different and the order flows a bit different in stocks so you only need DX feed other you know and that's a subscription like everything else you know but you don't need it so if you're a stock person or an option person you're gonna it with DX feed you'll have the cues the spy and you know plus the stocks and then you can apply these processes like what you're seeing here to those you know products it does work and we have and you can attend seminars or webinars every day there's a webinar on order you know understanding order flow and book map of course and different tools in book map that are available there's more than what you see here that come with the subscription and I'm not in the subscription business you know that's not what I do but you know you can go on the website and just look at the tools you know read about it and if you're into stocks you know kind of what it is figure it out you know as far as what you might need you can you know do it on a trial but whatever you you know whatever you want to do but I think order flows pretty important because it just gives you another tool and to me more it's not indicators it's just intent passive orders and how the market tends to trade into them why and understanding behavior what what the purpose of this is you know and then the reaction of the market is really the important thing this is why we were going for the story and then if we get under here we've got this but this is primary because of that does that make sense Peter I agree with you well you can't get a stops and icebergs with DX feed don't matter because it doesn't exist DX feeds are real good I mean you get all the stocks level 2 I suspect is what that's called right and you'll see what's going on I mean you'll have the order book you'll have the book you'll have the liquidity that's a lot and you'll have all this other stuff there's other things to you have absorption indicators there's all kinds of stuff so large lots and all you can there's a lot of other things that give you an edge I believe oh you know but again you know so it's got to be something that is an advantage you know and you won't know I mean I kind of think it's an advantage I mean it works for me I can only talk about you know what I've done I was never able to use order flow because I my brain could not you know in the words I never tried to trade by watching this stuff it's just I couldn't remember where something was or where something happened I try to write it down you know it's just I couldn't do it but I always wanted to but it wasn't my thing so when this became available and I think in 2015 I said oh finally good you know there's a tool for me and then of course I had to spend time to figure out what I had to do with it because I didn't understand it and that was you know bookmap education you know really I'm okay with this trade here you know and it's just one you know the thing about a trade is it's just one it's one but you need those so for me it's risk neutral and then targets this is the target so for me if I'm only running to this is number two is out here if I'm running more I'm going here that's it I'm okay with that so if you can understand the potential behavior within the context and I'm not saying and again every outcome of every trade is random so there's no way to know you know that it would ever get here that's trading it might have it might have been a full stop it might have been a scale in a stop or a scale and a target so it would be from roughly call it 3800 3800 3835 plus your scale so call it a 3.4 point scale you know it's almost it's about a 40 point trade right 45 point trade too long that's why I talk about twos and I don't talk about anything more than that because I think that's a minimum configuration and you can build a plan around it now normally our ranges are not like this but this is when the market the one of the points I always try to make is the process is generic it's what the market offers us you know what's the range if the range is 40 points we can work with 40 points if the range is eight points or 10 points that's what we work with the process is generic so anyway I hope you find some value in that build a trade plan Mediterranean I have no idea as far as potential regulation I've heard about regulation for a long time yeah mr. Clips wild day in the supermarket are you guys in YouTube if you're just dancing here welcome I appreciate you being here feel free to come over to the bookmap discord chat nobody will bother you but there's a lot of free education stocks options crypto plus what I do and downloads about 80 of them of the processes I use and examples with a lot of detail in the annotation and a webinar I did on the kind of an overview of auction market theory volume profile and integration with some of these ideas you're seeing you can register for free go to bookmap.com discord you don't need to be a subscriber and again there's education not only on reading order flow using the tool but also how to use these tools with and other tools with stocks options crypto few other futures markets you know NQ crude we haven't gone over pork bellies but I'm sure if there's any pork belly trader out there you know when the S&P first came out and I'm trying to remember when it was I think it was an 81 or 82 I think I don't remember but it was $250 a point and we called them pinstripe pork bellies just so you know interesting fun facts and I won't tell salmon futures never heard of that the MOC you know what anti-luck I am not I have my philosophy and I'm not saying it's right I'm just saying what I've adopted over the years those who know or it's going to be reflected in the price by the participants so the fact it's going to be negative I don't know what it's going to be and of course any input can disrupt the market so I know that but I'm already would be on a trade in spite of that you know in other words it's almost like there's going to report coming out depending what it is of course if I can get risk-neutral in front of the report then I might be in for the report if I get taken out on the report I'm out and then if I see another trigger set up because it was just a squeeze or something then I'm back on the same trade I will take the same trade even if I'm taken out as long as the structure I'm leaning on or shall we say the context is in alignment so other than annoyance and you know having some choice words you know 3,800 watch the IB so here's your pullback and it's still a short 95 not now of course but I'm saying in theory okay can you see it let me blow this up for you I'm not paying attention here because I'm tired so there's nothing to do it's all the Algar the Algarteria here and cash close so you know finito hope you guys got something out of this today I mean you know oh yeah repeat you know when early on when I first started trading I used to trade the old crop new cop bean spreads is that what you're talking about yeah that's a great trade except when it flips on you you know with all that leverage you get margin is 50% guys on the spread trading and 50% of you know regular margin so of course the inclination is to load the boat I've been there done that and before we had currency pairs I did a lot of currency spreads you know yeah anti-luck I mean I would I do I think takes a little time to get your brain wrapped around and I'm not saying it's you know I'm not saying there's a better way to do anything but I do think indicators I don't use any indicators because I'm driving down the Audubon looking in the rear view mirror I really want to try to understand what the market is trying to do and at times during the day it is changing its behavior it's it's you know goes from directional to rotational counter you know it flipping around like a flounder so I'm trying to stay in alignment and today's not one of those days where it's an easy I don't think it's an appropriate term but it kept changing you know so I was trying to stay in alignment and I think we had a lot of good opportunities that we you know reviewed here that developed and also ones that didn't work this is the real world and you know I mean it's not a trade calling room but we are doing the same thing generically across multiple time frames I think that's the message then it's if it's a tool and like all tools that it works at times and other times it doesn't and it's really about understanding market mechanics and also how the mechanics change in her day you know that's the other element of trading you know we tend to be have kind of a mono look to it you know where I can one mode and we try to apply one mode to a mark market behaviors that are multi-dimensional and multi-mobile and I think one of the complex aspects of trading is understanding what when it changes and of course we don't know when it's changing until it's changed and we normally pay for the privilege to find out and you know when we get off sites there's just no way to avoid that but if you can recognize the change then you could potentially get aligned with it and you know those changes and those trades that don't work or cost of production it's really important to get past the point of attachment this VPOC shift is an important element for potential continuation tomorrow or ETH at least so you got to keep an eye on that or at least potential start out in the north side and then you know go from there so I got to be updating my levels right so what you do in the what's called a micro composite you take the last couple days and you overlap one profile over yeah repeat thanks for dropping in good to see you well great I'm glad you guys got something out of it well I don't know you know I'm just oh look who's back David you know David's in Amsterdam David has the Expreso otherwise he's asleep at the switch his cat does his trading for him and guys this is not the answer this is a opportunity to maybe learn market mechanics and get a maybe a better understanding what how this all kind of fits and yet it's your job in the trader lab to collectively leverage your experience in the tools to make it better you know so that's that's why we're here so I hope we can accomplish that together and anyone in YouTube if you want to be part of a community it's free free is good and please come over and contribute that's the objective so and you can access the PDFs that in the trader lab there you hit the pin it'll take you up to the top of the text channel you'll see download of PDFs you'll see a introductory webinar that I did for book map on what I do and you know this process and you don't see if it resonates with you if or maybe it's something you can you know get something out of that you might find useful you know there's no right way to trade there's really only the way that works for you that you can develop belief in you need to manage your fear you need to understand where it comes from which is the psychology of trading and the way to overcome it is to have a vetted process so just like the casinos in Vegas if somebody walks out with $100,000 suitcase of cash you know over the large sample size that you have a profitable business it's no different than running a manufacturing facility where a machine breaks down you have expenses people quit you got to pay that you know whatever it is you know that's just overhead at some point you can try to separate yourself from the mental challenges of trading the way to get there is to have statistics that you lean on the stats because your job at some point is to follow a trade plan that has statistical validity so you're not gambling because if you don't have statistical validity you can't have faith and belief you're always going to be going back to the drawing board for the next indicator or some curve fit to solve the problem unfortunately it doesn't solve the problem so you might want to you know maybe rethink what you're doing if it's not working and if it is working maybe you can make it better but you need to have statue you can't get to that place of peace and detachment because you know it's a random distribution of outcomes you know every trade is like maybe at best right so then it's scale try to get risk neutral so now you can see if the trade goes on to what you perceive as its logical target based on the trade plan you have for that particular interaction with the market or setup is there to find thanks again for being here everybody appreciate it I'll be here tomorrow hopefully right and a $20 sandwich huh well you know I can't handle that that's where I go not too high thanks thanks for everybody being here we'll see you tomorrow

Patriot Prime here once again with another toyhacks.com sponsored review. But before I get started, I need you guys to do me a favor. If you're watching this video right here and are not a subscriber of Patriot Prime Reviews, please consider hitting that subscribe button right now. It won't cost you a thing, but will help me and my channel out tremendously. Now, on to the decals. And the set we're looking at in this video is for probably what I consider one of the ugliest looking transformers that's came out so far this year. Studio Series 86 Blur. I mean, he's not a bad figure.  SS86 Blur's face looks less like the G1 cartoon version and more like General Tarkin. But that's a whole other story. The decals in this set include four decal sheets, one on foil and three on vinyl backing. So now, without further ado, let's take a look at Blur both before and after toyhacks decals. And welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. In robot mode, straight out of the packaging, Blur really doesn't look that bad aside from the face sculpt. He only has three primary colors, dark blue, light blue and white. But taking a closer look at the figure, you do see some yellow right there on the forehead. Some red for the Autobot logo on the chest. And there is a clear translucent chest piece right here. That is the windshield in vehicle mode that really doesn't look that bad in robot mode. Thanks to all the sculpted detailing underneath. And speaking of sculpted detailing, this figure does have a lot that is pretty consistent with the Studio Series 86 line. But still, he is just a little plain looking. So there you go guys, Blur in robot mode before and after. Blur's robot mode gets quite an enhancement thanks to toyhacks. Taking a closer look at the figure, he does get new detailing right up here on the shoulders for the thrusters. New decals right here on the chest, kind of circuitry control panel decals. He gets a brand new windshield decal to replace the clear translucent plastic. And a much larger and much brighter Autobot logo. He also gets vent decals on either arm along with these little bluish chrome decals for the forearms. Moving on down to the waist, new silver decals there on either side. Down here on the knees are new silver and red decals which are a throwback to the decals right above G1 Blur's feet. He also gets new enhanced decals right there on the shins and blue decals there on the feet. So all in all, I really like the looks of Blur's robot mode now. He's no longer so plain looking. So there you go guys, Blur in robot mode after. In vehicle mode, straight out of the packaging, Blur still retains his G1 look, but he's even more plain than he was before, mainly because he loses 90% of his white. Most of the white was in robot mode. Now you just have it right there underneath that clear windshield. He does gain a new shade of blue right there on the tip of the vehicle, but still it's just a blue futuristic car. Still lots of nice sculpted details all the way around. I do like the thrusters there. But that's about it. There's really not much to say about Blur's vehicle mode. I wish Hasbro at least gave him some wheels or something to roll on, but it is what it is. So there you go guys, one final look at Blur in vehicle mode before. And after. Blur's vehicle mode gets quite a few nice new details thanks to toy hacks. Now the first one you're probably noticing is the new pin striping right there on the front. I really like the looks of that. I think that looks awesome. He also gets new headlights. Of course you've got the windshield decal right there. Along the side of the vehicle you have accents. One, two, three little accents on each side to break up all the blue. For the interior he gets brand new leather seating right here for the back and bottom. Turn this around. He's got the console decals. Now here on the back I really like these. These decals are a throwback to the original Generation 1 toy. Though they're done in reverse. See how the yellow circle decals here are on the bottom where toy hacks had to put them there on the top. But still I think that is a great throwback for Generation 1. Also he gets a vanity license plate back here that says Blur. And there's those decals for the thrusters. So all in all not a bad new look for Blur. So there you go guys. Blur in vehicle mode after. The toy hacks decal set for Studio Series 86 Blur is a vast improvement on the original retail toy. He looks so much better now and not so plain looking. I love the G1 decal throwbacks. Of course I'm an old G1er so that's always going to appeal to me. But I think it really helps make this figure stand out now. Now a quick word of warning. This decal set takes some patience. There are lots of tiny decals that you got to fit just right where they're supposed to go. So I highly recommend a nice set of pointy fine tip tweezers.
