We will cover various strategies as well as various trade management methods so But we offer live trading with J trader a stocks trader on Wednesday and Scott Balsini a futures trader on Thursday, so you can look at their specific ways of trading That's that's the goal here. So it's a very complete education that you're getting here with book map. Good morning. Guido. Yeah, so You can stay up to 10 30. All right excellent Yeah, you're a long long time book map user So it's really nice to see you back in here Let's go through some disclosures and then we'll look at the live market a general disclosure all book map limited materials information and presentations are for education Educational purposes only and should not be considered specific investment advice nor recommendations risk disclosure trading futures equities and digital currencies involves a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. All right so let's jump in here and Yikes, I got I want to go through this so quickly. We're looking at the S&P actually And it's dropping here and you see the sellers coming in right again here. We were just looking at a pullback to Let's see here. Where did it pull back to a beautiful pullback to 80 kind of kind of looking for that And and you know now we see the sellers come right back in pretty heavy selling here All right, let's just zoom out here. Let's get our bigger picture approach And the reason I picked the S&P today was we might jump over to the NASDAQ But it was just showing high liquidity for the demo purposes in the previous webinar Beautifully here 4,700 right here and look at the sell-off after trading up into 4,700 after the 930 cash open. We're looking at quite a bit of data in here since yesterday. This is right around What time yesterday? This was last night before midnight. Yeah, okay, so this is the entire overnight session base Well, big big chunk of it Yeah, so Anyway, yeah, they continue on and yeah, we're bigger picture. We're looking for down to this 4660 and then 4650 here It's that's where the liquidity is and you know, you can see they actually pulled here at 4660 So, you know, it's gonna be it's not gonna be an easy rise gonna be back and forth all the way down Or if we get all the way down look at the buying icebergs In fact right now I'd be looking for them to try to lift this back up into 80 here or this liquidity here at 78 Because look at the buying coming in Right and we already saw some some buying here. So just looking for them to trade up to here for now Okay, 78 Right just based on that's where the swing is that's where the liquidity is and it was also based on insight from Not only the context down here, but the buy the the stops and icebergs people getting stopped out on the way down Look at the buying icebergs in here. So beautiful Buying in here started right around here Okay, all the way down to here All right, so what does that mean it means that All of these players larger players that are buying now they're starting to sell some maybe they're taking some profits here but The you know, they were buying all the way through this move here And so highly likely would be it maybe a pullback to this area then right Somewhere around this 80 level here If they're buying all the way through they're likely going to be in profit certainly above this area here But likely up into here Okay, because they're buying on the way down getting filled on the way down. This is how larger players get filled And they that's why they use iceberg orders because they don't want to show their liquidity in the order book They'll absorb as price goes against them or they'll stay in the order book and they'll get filled Okay, so now we can see them we understand, you know that dynamic in here We're looking to see if we can find more aggressive buyers at this point Okay, lift it up into 75 and then back up into 80 All right now, you know, we're not quite there yet, but we do see the buying coming in And we saw it over here. We caught that move And then you know, I jumped over to this webinar and missed the move to back down to the downside here and but here we are again and What's unfolding here? So you look at the selling in here pretty heavy selling. Okay, stop run iceberg orders And we came back up and we tested above this swing here and we found buyers up here All right, so let's see if we can maybe We're looking at where they broke out from here Okay, right around this 4670 level and we're going to look for buyers to support it Okay, so We're not finding that right now Okay, but what if we get big green dots back up here and we're not Okay, so sellers are going to try to take it a little bit lower here. Maybe down to 66 here Yep, and they're pulling down at 66 as well All right, well, let's just take a look at this market structure though I want to cover this market structure is just so important to understand Okay, we're making lower lows here still making lower lows lower lows lower highs But here we see a little bit of a shift There's a kind of a you know a lower low or lower high here, but we're now we're making a slightly higher high slightly higher lows here Okay, so we're looking for potential And I know it looks kind of messy. Let's just you get my point though We're looking to see now if we hold that structure Okay, our buyers still holding it. We see the buying in here. We see it in here as well So they're in here, right now. We're looking for them to lift it here. Let's see if they can do it Hey right here at 71 Okay, the order book looks good on the bid here starting to bid up But what is the reaction to to that? These orders here. We're actually finding some sellers So we're not quite quite ready yet We want the opposite effect. We want this to repel the sellers and we want to find buyers here now We're starting to find them Okay, so let's see if they can come in now here. They come all right. So they're trading into there looking for the move to 75 Uh, and the liquidity here they're getting out of the way So and we're finding our buyers. So we're still looking for the move up higher here to 75 Okay, and then ultimately I I still like to move up into this kind of swing up here Uh 80 I just don't see much liquidity up there at the moment Okay, so a little bit of a pull back there already to where we broke out from here We didn't even get to 75 yet A little battle starting to shape up here between buyers and sellers But we're starting to note the buyers coming in here and this is a huge downtrend huge All right, but look at the buying cluster in here So we're going to go through a couple different scenarios. I'm still looking for them to pull it back to 75 Okay, and here they come. So the buyers have control here if they want to continue They've got it look at the buying Okay, so we want to see them come up and trade into 75 Now the opposite scenario is what if what if sellers come in here and completely dump on the market like this big red dot here And trade down below this little swing right here at 70 69 Okay, that's when we're going to see A continuation down lower most likely Okay, there's our move into Just about 75 Just just one tick shy of it We should still get it though. Still looking for it. There we go. There's 75 Um, now, you know, I like this structure. I'm looking for them to break this smaller structure here I want to see them come up into 78 now Okay, they're supporting it here in the bid at 73 and a half Okay, I'm looking for buyers to stream it up into 78 Then maybe our 80 level that we were talking about but the liquidity is up here now at 78 and above Okay, looking for buyers to lift it now Okay, we're starting to see maybe a potential reversal it reversals are challenging They take a while to work out, but we're starting to note it in the structure here So yeah, we just kind of made a very slightly Lower high here or equal high. I'm looking for them to break it though Okay, and then move it on up into 78 Okay, and I'm looking at the context between the order book And the volume within it and if we zoom out we can see very clearly see that volume here So I'm looking for them to lift it up into here Okay, we've already gotten to 75 now we can also cover in here how to start to Put together a potential trading plans or Strategies here and trade management Okay for looking at some of these moves. Okay, let's see if the buyers can lift it here. Here they come Okay, and I want I want to see them lift it a lot more than that I want to see them stream right up into 78 and I want to see a stop run to the upside as well down here Okay, the buying pressure is pretty good I love this 78 level would love to see it even come up higher But this is going to be kind of a key level in here. This is where the seller's really pounded it here Okay, here come the sellers. They're trying to trying to Drop it here. So we're getting a little bit of a battle. Look at look at the bid here Or I'm sorry that's on the off That was on the offer No, I'm sorry. That's on the bid That was on the bid Very high liquidity and then it then it flipped flipped to the offer here And they got a trade through that did they trade through it yet? Oh, they pulled Yeah, so buyers should be able to lift it now. Yeah, they pulled so yeah, we're up to 78 See how we can get insight from this here. This is where that battleground took place Okay, now as I moved away like now now we see our streaming up into not only 78 But we're looking for our 80 level here and look at the buying coming in Still looking for This level here 81 and a half Yikes, look at that big sell dot And so we know the sellers are still involved in here and this makes sense actually This is our structure right here. This is where we drop from this is where the sellers came in So we can see sellers are still in here. We just we just validated that All right, let's cover how you can go through different trading strategies on this and and For those of you who are in here today, I just want to go through a little bit about this education and and what's our goal in here And that is like You know to give insight and read this To start to understand how these moves may unfold Okay, and then what's so nice about this In this in this type of a structure of education Is that we're not emotionally involved in it? Okay, we don't have a position on so For example, I recall a bank trader Um Asking the posing the question To a group of traders like when are you you your best trader? Anyone want to answer that? Any idea when are you the best trader alan? I know you know the answer Exactly when you don't have a position Right, you're very objective. You're clear in your mind You can go either way Right, but you're going to read it objectively On a sim account. Uh, alexander, I would disagree with that. I think sim accounts make you have ego. You have emotion You want to be right? You know and then you miss Others other transactions or or i'm sorry opportunities Right, you'd be holding on you'd be stubborn Uh, there'd be revenge like how dare the market move against me on this. I I read it right, you know um, so, uh, uh, yeah, I would this is why I I um, encourage you to you know, those of you who are new to book map Just read this first go through the same process. We're going through in this webinar Okay, read this order flow and give insight to where you think it should move and then go back and take a look at it Well, why didn't it move there? Okay, what did I learn from that? Okay, what about the market structure? What about the context between these elements in the structure? Okay, look at this massive iceberg here. Look at the insight we got from this as well Okay, there's also up here iceberg selling here Okay, so a real big battle here, but we can also we also know That these guys in here they made their money Back it went back to 80 You know, they're they're in the green here because they bought most of that that iceberg buying Well, it started up here like I said, but if they're gonna let um layer into this all the way down to here the swing low They're in the they made money out of it Now now they can now they can sell on the other side here Right, and if they are if we get our sellers in here right here right now I'm looking for them to drop it down into this liquidity here Okay at uh 68 very very simple Uh simple things that we're looking at here Okay, and we can cover um, you know, we we saw this kind of starting to reverse and it still may turn into a big reversal pattern here Okay, not hands off at the moment here, uh, because we see a lot of selling and we see a lot of icebergs in here Okay, so we really need to see some distinction here Uh, and things always get a little trickier, uh, right around this time Uh, you know, not always but um typically They see see the sellers in here buyers in here. They're fighting fighting here Trying to get it above 75 back up into here. See if we're going to trade or trend start to trend And you know, it takes a while for these things to turn around Uh, anyway, let's let's go through so we were we noticed this here previous webinar We noted the buyers coming in looking for a pullback only Okay, we got it Right, then then, uh, uh, we see more, you know, sellers come in and then we started to note look at this interesting More buying coming in here. They made a higher slightly higher high based off of this structure right here Then we made a higher low here and what did we find here? We found buyers So we're looking for them to lift it. So we're looking for that move to 75 Then we're looking for the move to 78 Uh and potentially 80 because that's where it dropped from Okay, so there's your setup here by understanding. Um, some of these levels Uh now how how might you get in? Uh and read this here This is very personal and up to you. We can cover many different things here Uh how to start to uh Piece this together and look for something that is higher probability Right. Well, we noted the structure. We noted the buying And then so we're looking for buyers to come in here Uh, and they did so in here You you'd be looking for this move up into, um, yeah 75 right here Okay, so around this area in here Right, so uh, you you could get on a pullback here because you noted the buyers in here You could get in a pullback here. It's not my style I know that we have a higher low here And we and we don't have the volume down here Uh on the sell side, okay, if there was a lot of selling down here likely it would have broke Okay back down to 65 64 63 whatever Okay, we don't we don't see it here Okay, once we get we get the buying back in here. This is where I like to enter Okay, now you could put your because you you you could justify it You know, you have to go back and and um, uh do your due diligence and study this But you noted buyers in here you're looking for that pullback You noted more buyers coming in here And they're and we're making a higher slightly higher high off of that structure in a slightly higher low Off of this structure down here And we're finding buyers So we're just looking for the move up into 75 And then if we can get that then we're looking for the move up in this liquidity up here 78 Okay, we liked 80. We just didn't see a lot of liquidity up there So, uh, yeah, so you could bet you could buy in your pullback your stop would probably go down here It's really up to you on what time frame as well. That's why you know, it's so It's so personal. I mean like what time frame are you trading? What is your risk parameter? Uh, what kind of move are you looking for? Are you are you looking for holding the rest of the day? Uh, or are you looking for just a quick scalp, etc All right. Now the goal in these webinars here is to go through, um, uh, as many instances as possible So that you can start to read this and get positive feedback based off of your read Okay, Guido, uh, that should uh, you know, you've been in here many many times over Okay, I hope you find that helpful Right, so you can start to read this and start to understand that it might There's a higher probability trade that is going to come up into the 75 level All right, uh, Alan as well. I know that I know you're all over at Alan You probably cut the move down the move back up the move back up again. Um But looking for higher probability, um, opportunities in here based on our read of the structure and the volume and uh The limit buy and sell orders the supply and demand It also nice nice little thing in here was the the flip. Well, not really a flip of the book, but uh High liquidity here. They're starting to pull refining buyers and then they're on the bid here Uh at this 73 and a half level All right. So, uh, so anyway, uh, yeah, you could have been in, you know involved in You know this anywhere in here your stop could have been, you know anywhere in from this area 69 On down to, you know, 64 something like that Whatever depending on your risk and your time frame Okay I especially on reversals Especially on reversals I like to take partial profits I would have gotten out here at 75. I may even front ran it 74 and three quarters Uh and uh gotten out a position just to position and move my stop up to break even And hold the rest for 78 and i'm out Okay That's it I look for the next one now What what else unfolded here? Well, this is starting to still play out pretty nicely And look at the that we made a Still a higher high and a higher low here and we're finding buyers great Back to 80 looking for the move back to 80 here Okay, let's see what the order book tells us here. Okay. The bind initiated down here at 74 So the we could get a pull back into this area here And that's starting to unfold a little bit Yeah, let's see if they can squeeze it a little bit lower here 74 ish Yeah, I can come down in in even into the 72 and a half ish area Okay, are we ready here? Are we ready to move? Let's see. Let's see if these buyers show up I don't like this dark area in the order book. I I don't feel very good about this move Uh reason being is they're not really supporting it underneath here Okay, I do like this area at 80 But I want to see them pull at this liquidity at 80 as well if we want to see a nice reversal take place here I want to see them pull at 80 I want to see you come up and you know up into this higher liquidity here 85 for example Right, and we're starting to find some buying in here. So yeah, I'd be looking for a move to 80 here a quick move to 80 I just don't like it. I I I'm looking for that move. I don't think it's high probability I think sellers can pound on it down into 75 very very quickly here And I don't want to get caught up in that it wasn't giving me a very High probability setup Okay, whereas in some of these other areas this is looking pretty good Anyway, this context of liquidity along with You know the market structure and the volume within that structure Is is what we're reading here. So here look at the sellers here I'm looking for them to trade it down into 72 and a half Okay, they're they're they're coming in on the other side here right nice move here buyers A few buyers here, but now some sellers. Okay, great moving for the move lower Here they go. We're already at 73 or tested 73 I should have said 73 is basically it It really is 73. They can come down to 72 and a half, but I really like 73. I'd be out of that trade All right If I took it to the downside here Right because you know, we have this kind of potential reversal We see a lot of buying coming in here Because so that would have been a scalp down again from somewhere around here 76 and a quarter down to 73 And I'd be out full position on that one I just don't see high probability, you know as high probability trade here Right so again, you know starting to understand Your um your order flow reading here Along with your trade management So, you know getting in full full in full out. Okay Now I've I've been covering this for for quite a while now But you know, we're looking at who's in control and taking Uh The market a specific direction moving it away from a value area Right now it's establishing a big value area down here But it's the sellers that are still in control here on this whole move And they came in here hard big big volume dropping the market Okay Now for us to get back up above this area here now, we're getting our buyers here I I'd take a shot at it and just try to ride this up into 80 Maybe 82 and a half here maybe 85 I like the volume here Right our structure is holding and I like the volume here. They want to move it away So there's 80 already Okay, maybe I take a partial profit there I know that's a bit of a scalp, but uh, I want to reduce my risk And now that's you know my way of trading You know it was in here somewhere around 77 and a half or so on up to 80 Okay, and uh out a partial position move my stop up Okay, not not I like this volume here Um, but I want to reduce my risk Okay, Guido. Yep. Take care um, all right, so anyway, um Yep likely you get stopped out here break even on the rest So, uh, and I'm fine with that Okay, I'd still be in this As you guys can see it didn't come down to 77 and a half Volume looks good And here they come now. They should be able to break it 82 and a half maybe 84 85 here 85 is where they were earlier.  There's quite a bit of selling though So maybe we maybe the stop or the you know, the the trap volume is going to be up here At the high and we see more sellers down here at 78 All right, so none of the either of those scenarios are are equally valid at this time Okay, I would I would give a more of a nod though to the uh The buy side because they're the ones that came in with the the heavy volume here So I I still would go with the the buy side I would have a slant toward the buy side But you know, there's both buying and selling in here So we're gonna see who gets it right or who gets it wrong But I would I still would have been in this or it'd still be in this from that 77 and a half level So and the only reason I'm mentioning that is so you you guys can start to understand like All right. Well, you know, how high probability is this? I already took partial profit at 80 still in it And there's no real reason we're starting to see maybe, you know kinks in the armor here um or chinks in the armor, but like uh the um And and a lack of buying here. So sellers could come in right But we're still going with the overall move here Okay, and and that's so we're going through some trade management with the order flow here Right and so far so good. We we stayed with the trade here Okay, we're just noticing that in here the selling here now This is going to be a beautiful stop run because these guys here that sold here's our stop run to the upside And that that that was uh anticipated starting to understand why this stop run may unfold here Hey, the selling in here. They're buying here Yeah, they're selling again up here Okay, so again, this can continue on up nicely into 85 and 86 maybe even 90 here Because they're still selling here Right, so we forget buyers are above it here now the opposite We've got to go through the opposite scenario and I think this is going to unfold here. This is going to be a false breakout Yeah, so if we get sellers down below here where they just broke out from these guys are trapped Okay, looking for sellers to try to try to drop it now back into the swing or this liquidity maybe at 78 Okay, so now that's it that can reflect this order flow reading can reflect on your trade management Maybe maybe exit that second leg. You know, why not? We don't have a clear reading take take the rest of it When we have something that's really clear you can always get back in All right buyers still trying to still trying to get up above here and sellers come right back in Okay, liquidity is on on the bid down At 80 and below and they're on the offer up here at 85 Here come the buyers one more time now I still don't like this here because look how dark it is underneath here So there's compounded right down here very very quickly In fact, we made a lower high here If we get a lack of selling a lack of buying here and some selling right here at 81 and a half I'm looking for them to drop it into 80 and maybe maybe a little bit lower here Okay, just going through these scenarios here And we don't see either of them right now Okay, now I'd give a little bit of a nod here to the sell side looking for the sellers to drop it down into 80 here There we go. There it is beautiful Okay, now, how did how did I read that? understanding market structure And volume within that and then also the order book Okay, a little bit of a nod right in here looking for sellers to come in and drop it down to 80 Okay, understanding what the order book from this because in here It was dark They're not bidding up Okay in this structure. Well, they're they can't make a higher high here And we didn't find any buying in here Okay, so looking at now structure and then volume within the structure No buying here if we get selling here, they should be able to drop it easily down to 80 Okay, quick scalp for you know a couple of points Okay, and they're still dropping it likely down into this liquidity here 77 now Okay, so based on based on this this reading here Okay, we were we were long Okay, we would have gotten out partial here at 80 holding the rest Then then we started to note some things in here. It didn't didn't look so clean and clear Exit the other position Enter a position short and get out here at 80 That's that These are just considerations so you know You can apply what you learn from here and consider some of these things Okay, likely you have your own ways of trading your own Very specific You know trading plan Okay, but adding this order flow in here is going to be really really nice Oh, hey Doug spot gamma levels at vwap at 683 Okay All right, so Doug is looking at and let me show you something here if you guys want to take a look uh Doug plus here. He did a protrader webinar. It's right here. You might want to check this out He's talking about gamma levels spot gamma levels Within uh within book map spot gamma is um here from the marketplace Brent kachuba from from spy gamma. He's an options expert. So he they developed these Options levels within book map and you can you can get them here from the book map marketplace If you like uh, Doug has developed a whole strategy around this and he's looking at these levels up here And he noted there's a gamma level and that's what he's um You know noting here Uh in the in the chat Okay, so his trading plan he has reasons now. He's studied it. He's looked at it. He's looking for um You know a certain behavior around some of these options gamma levels Yeah, we have some excellent traders in here Okay, so look at look at the buying coming in here Okay Yeah, I don't I don't like it. I mean like yeah likely it's going to trade to 85 I I'd give the nod to it, but I wouldn't I wouldn't be in it It's starting to be really back and forth in here But the buy volume and the trend continuation is what we're kind of looking at here And look at them pull now between 83 and 85. So buyers have a clean street here clean path All I need to do is start buying Okay, let's see if they um Take the the bids here and then add them up higher here and let's see if we get buyers Then you can see we're not in fact, it's the opposite We're getting the offer starting to show more here and we're finding some sellers not much but some See the offer building out here. Okay, see them pulling on the bid now This allows it not that clean street to the upside here Well, now it allows for sellers to hit it down into 79 and a quarter Okay, now we're getting all the sorts of things starting to happen here Now they're on the bid with very very high liquidity and the sellers just took them on Okay, look at them again here. Look at that skew in the order book and what was the reaction buyers Okay, so buyers should be able to lift it now to 85 Okay, now they just transacted sellers transacted into this 82 and a half And they transacted it here again So it's actually really kind of both right now. It's kind of giving a convoluted Outlook here because we're seeing the the aggressive buyers But we also see that high liquidity and the sellers took them on on the bid So we're finding both buyers and sellers in here And now we're back above it finding buyers Yeah I'd like to move up into 85 I would give the nod to that but like just from the order flow reading here The continuation up into 85. It's just I just don't think it's high probability So that's my assumption And then we looked for you know things to kind of Support that assumption See how see how I could waffle back and forth here. It's not waffling. It's reading See how there's an exhaustion here on the buy side. Well, we don't want to see that You know, it allows sell it more sellers to come in here And now look what we have though a little bit here on the bid. See how they're bidding up in here Okay, so it's getting interesting now Bidding up at 81 and a half Okay, what's the reaction to by the aggressors here? Not much If we get enough buy dots up here big green one, we should get a move right up into 85 And there's some and it should do it but I again, I just don't like it Like I wouldn't want to risk money on it right just kind of uh separating out Understanding looking at the order flow looking for something that is more probable There it is Well, not quite 85 yet Still looking for it though Look at the sellers come streaming in Yeah, Alan looks like the um, yeah the equity markets are on uh Viagra, um well I mean, there's a lot of volatility here. I mean like this is a pretty big move There's very very steep sell off here, right from 4700 down to um You know 40 46 65 ish or six All right 30 34 s and p points Okay, pretty pretty big move Okay, so uh Doug you're looking at the spy and you're looking at uh Move to the downside Oh, look at this area up here guys. I can just unbelievable. I mean, this is um fascinating stuff here I mean the spy here is the obviously the etf of uh s and p e many Look at these areas of liquidity up in here massive just massive Well, 31 000 shares, um 5 000 Or 9 000. I'm sorry So you can start to align some of these areas in here in your, um etfs or or others To think where price might go or at least the correlation between these two All right, so we just we're just shy of our 85 level and we sold off and then uh buyers are coming right back though Boy, it's been a while since we've gone through the s and p. We're seeing some good stuff in here So we'll continue on with it. I'll jump over the NASDAQ for a second here I just you know, I I love this market And uh, I mean we it's not that I love the market that that we covered is just uh We see follow-through in this market and a lot of people are either trading the es or the or the NASDAQ Especially in recent years the NASDAQ Uh, because it's just been on fire um High liquidity up here, uh didn't trade into it at this kind of uh 16 to 90 level Going back to the s and p um Yeah, you know Not really the uh kind of reversal that we want to see here, right? um So this is still trend continuation to the downside In fact because like uh that buying that we're looking for in here Well, look look look at the price movements Okay, it's still holding the structure. That's true still making higher highs. That's true higher lows um, but um You know look at this kind of move here Compared to this move to the downside Okay, so we know that buy or sellers are still in control on this move So let's see if we can get actually, you know back into structure Maybe move back down into maybe this swing here It lines up with our diagonal line as well Looking for sellers to come in right now and drop it into 77 Okay, I like this 77 and a half level here. They come already So, uh, yeah, and still looking for them to continue here Okay, so 77 and then maybe maybe even 76 there's liquidity down there It's just gone to the bottom of this range and bouncing back up I'm looking for sellers to come in again though And this is just to pull back here Now we can talk about something interesting on the pullback Again talking about structure and volume within the structure Well, look at the sellers. Look at the buying And look at the bars as well. Not just the dots the bars. It's mostly selling So this is a low volume pullback back to 81 where it broke from I'm looking to see if we can get more sellers here again and then break down to our 77 and 76 level here Now based on this in here, this is this is where You know, I personally I like the The structure or for for a pullback trade or entry This is where I like it. Okay, I would I would be looking to get involved in here Okay in in this little area in here They're probably around 81 and three or 80 and three quarters somewhere around here You know getting filled Based on the movement here The red dots the sellers hitting the bid and this low volume pullback on the buy side It's just not as many buyers in here Right, so I'm looking for them to trade at least back down to the bottom of the range here And then I'm still looking for more sellers here To drive it lower into our 77 and 76 levels So this is a higher probability pullback trade here in my mind Because I still know that sellers are in control They dropped it by from this range here So likely and I know also too that that we're still in this uptrend is still holding Okay, but I'm looking for the sellers to try to drop it Hey, would I be out half a position? Probably probably half down here At the swing stopped a breakeven yet again Okay, and Still in it or not likely stopped out At breakeven Yeah, would have been stopped out of breakeven And I'm fine with that Oh, good morning, James You miss how I do this.  Yeah, okay Well, now you're starting to see buyers trying to test that But it's about the volume here And it's about the specific time frames as well So like let's cover let's cover this one here. It's a little bit easier Sellers came in and dropped the area of consolidation Sellers come in and drop it hard and into the bottom of the swing here This is where sellers dropped it Okay, these these are you know in your auction market theory.  Well, they're trying to They're dropping it down the bottom of the range here But I'm reading the impulsive move here that they're driving it away from this little area of consolidation here And they are in control Right now we don't find enough buyers to trade back up into the range here So I'm looking for sellers to try to you know still be in control here Right because we didn't find enough buyers in here Now this is where it gets a little more convoluted is now we're starting to find buyers in here Okay, the same happened over here Sellers took control and dropped it Okay, this is a low volume pullback here Even this in here is still low volume pullback Okay, look at look at the dots look at the bars Okay, and then we see sellers sellers should be able to take it back down at least to here where the buyers came in And they should be able to have there should be more selling down here and try to drop it lower That that did not unfold not enough sellers here So we rotate back up and look where the buyers came in See where the sellers dropped it and where the buyers came in So we'd be looking for them to try to move it higher here So this is more this is more complex. They're trying to do the same thing here. Okay right in here Okay, now this one's gonna fail now. We're looking for sellers to drop it into 77 Okay, and we got buyers on the wrong side here as well. So we should see a stop run to the downside as well They maybe maybe get down to 70 74 Or 75 Still looking for lower here Stop run very nice Make make sense. Um, james Uh, alexander you like it looks like a bear flag. I see a 1050 I'm not sure what you're looking at Okay, okay, great james. Thank you um Yeah, I mean it's really important to to to notice those areas here And and and when they're going to start to try to drive it away here Now this is kind of structure within structure. So it like I said, these are and we're going to go through many many examples That's our goal here So that here's our move guys down into well, we got our move into 76. Um, I'm still I'm still looking for them to move it lower. I know that we've got our our line here That's why we're seeing a kind of a some buying off of it here But I would love to see it go lower here um And this is why this is more like, you know, it's structure within structure here, right? So You know, they retested all the way back up here couldn't even even here Again buying but but selling below it here. We're looking for them to drop it And now we're right back up into this little You know kind of structure again right right in here, right? So if buyers buyers might be able to lift it back up into Previous area here. I don't see them right now. So I'm I'm still looking for sellers to hit it down into 75 and 74 here Okay lack of buying up here. That's not what I want to see If I'm if I'm thinking it's going to go back up into this structure Okay, so So far so good Now do the sellers show up here? Not yet Okay Anyway, James, let me go through this um, let me and there's a few other questions in here. Um, but I want to go through and just Point out these areas for James. I think he'll find it very helpful Okay So to make this point because it's so essential to understand this within structure you're looking for, you know, who's taking control Okay, so over here. We're looking for sellers to take control. They didn't right? So now buyers can lift it back up into the other side of this range here at 81 and a half Okay, or maybe just to 80 right now point of control or you know, this little area here Right. Anyway, uh, James, let's take a look at on on various timeframes here Okay sellers see the seller. Oops. Sorry See the sellers in here Look at the volume here as well Okay, see how they dropped it If they're in control from that time frame now they're being tested though Right and buyers are going to try to hit control and they're going to try to get to the other side of the range here And up end all of these guys here and it'll be a stop run All right here. Here's another area here sellers What about here? Look at the buyers Okay, what about here look at the sellers Okay, now this one's kind of interesting because like yeah a lot heavy selling in here looks pretty good They're all upended here. These these turn into those pivot points that we talk about Buyers came came back up above. We should see a stop run to the upside. We do Back up into kind of our 85 ish level here 84 and three quarters And now let's look on the higher time frame and zoom out a little bit more Here's where we this is why we thought the structure was started We started to see a little bit of a shift in the structure early on we saw it over here We're looking for this move back up into First 75 and then maybe 80 on this pull back here Okay, we got that Uh, and then we we noted that wow, okay buyers were in here more buyers are in here Uh, they they broke a little structure here right here a little swing on some pretty big buying here again buyers, right? Okay, sellers come in try to drive it lower here Okay, but now now we see buyers back up here. Great. All right. We're looking for them We we noticed them in here We're looking for them to trade it up into the 75 and then and then back to maybe 78 and 80 And that unfolded nicely All right, so now we're starting to note where the buyers are coming in see Here's a nice one here. See look at the buying coming in here Hey, look at the pullback to it Hey, again, this is a low volume pullback All the way back down here too, but we don't see a lot of sellers in it.  I've been upended so many times About buying these pullbacks here Even though I know buyers took control in this little time frame here Okay, uh, you know, you're there's your your entry on the pullback and then you'd you'd hold it for, you know Some of these higher areas Okay, I likely would have been involved in it up here somewhere All right, and I wouldn't have gotten a much as much out of it Um, but anyway, I'm just looking for something that is higher probability. Now. Here's where here's the big selling in here And and you know, it's sold off pretty hard the whole way Uh, they're kind of upended here. They tried, you know, tried to get buyers did get above here Uh, they got back up into this little structural area here It is little, uh, kind of back and forth right in here Okay, here's again more selling taking taking control here Okay, driving it away Just think of it this way, uh, james. I think this will be very helpful Um, when you have a consolidation period Then And a value area within a consolidation period What has to happen in order for it to you know be re-evaluated into another Consolidation period or another value area Okay, something has to happen a lot of times it's fundamentals other times it's Traders getting upended or it's uh, people who know something they see some sort of edge Maybe some sort of statistical arbitrage trading Okay, some sort of study technically Um, you know, maybe it's above point of control or whatever it might be and you see like the big volume come in Well, when you start to see that big volume um They are Trying to move it away from that that value area It's it's like a it's like gravity like a rocket. It's trying to move it away. It needs a lot of power Okay, and that's why we're looking for a big volume Uh to to lift it away from those areas and and and you can see it in here Right, you can see it in all these little areas here that I pointed out Okay, so, you know, now we're looking for context though Okay between that that kind of control taking from the buyers or sellers Uh, and then also the structure Okay, so the structure is essential to understand first All right, and then uh, and then the volume within it. Okay, and volume is only a part of it It's also context of the supply and demand in the order book has we want to also read that like We didn't get duped in some of these trades in here or some of these things Because like yeah, you know, we give it the nod to the buy side, but I don't like that, you know, it I don't see them bidding up. I don't see them supporting it So understanding that context of the order book is also essential So it's just these three elements volume supply and demand and structure So look at the sellers come in now. They're going to try to drive it right back down They're going to try to break this trend line drive it back down to 76 Okay, looking pretty good They are dropping the offer a little bit here. It's not nothing, you know earth shattering here But uh, they pulled here so they can trade back down into maybe even 74 not not just 76 Okay, again, you would be a low volume pullback here Okay, this is where the sellers came in there's even more selling in here. Here's your sellers Here's your low volume pullback Now do we get more sellers here? For now we're looking for follow-through of this selling selling here leg one pullback leg two Back down into 70 now. We're going to call it 76 Okay, how what are we going to look for? We're going for sellers here And we're going to look for them on the offer here and we're getting it Okay, not a whole lot on offer a little bit in here Okay in here and what the reaction to did you note the the reaction to that liquidity here? Sellers so anyway that context is what we're talking about here Okay, so we we got we got the sellers down to 77. They didn't come down to 76 Now trade management is a whole other ballgame in here Right, so that that's up to you I'm not sure what you mean by your comment though. I only refer to book map for traders Can you articulate that a little bit more? And let me go through a few other comments here Alexander yeah bear flag is an interesting one. It's kind of like this in here like You know kind of impulsive move pullback and then we want to see continuation But a flag pattern is very very We're looking for big big move on big volume and then then the bear flag like, you know, maybe it So it would be kind of like this it depends Um, but uh, you know here We want to see big move big volume And then just like maybe it just kind of chops And you get a kind of a shallow pullback here because there's not a lot of buying And then we're looking for continuation here with another big round of selling Oh, do I okay? I understand James. Do I only use book map for my trading? Um, got you. Um Okay, that's what you meant. Okay, uh Alexander. Yeah spot on that. That's what uh, I just want to cover that Understanding and and also extrapolate understanding the patterns that we read about for years Okay, but who cares about the patterns we care about the order flow within it. That's what gives us the higher probability So this is a really complex like bear flag in in essence Right if we get our sellers here, we're going to get our completion It kind of turned into maybe more like a drop consolidation and then drop here and looking for it right here right now Sellers they should be able to drop it 74 75 Okay, does is the offer what's the reaction to this liquidity again? Do we find sellers? Where is the where's the target here would be yeah this liquidity down here on the bid? uh so, uh I hope that answers. Yeah, I wanted to answer your question. Um, Alexander On that understanding these patterns too because I like the the patterns. I mean you see them repeat again and again um, and there's a reason for them uh repeating And it's due to the the Auction between what buyers and sellers think of the instrument. We should get a nice move here guys. Let's see it here 76 down to 74. There we go 75 Let's see it continue here. Where where might it also go? Yeah, I mean I like this area down here Uh 73 this is where we noted these buyers here We marked them up look at the buyers here Okay, so let's see if let's see them test it Sellers test those buyers from this previous uh, uh period here Okay, looks looks pretty good. I like it Okay, so and now our bear our bear This is not what we want to see in terms of our bear pattern or our bear flag pattern here See we got sellers here look on this leg here No no sellers now if we get them here We should get the continuation So, you know, you wouldn't be duped by that here uh, all right Doug you're glad I'm looking at the es again um Yeah, yeah, I I'll update the uh, you know what Doug? I think I'm going to include this webinar on uh on youtube Uh, it's good to kind of go back here and we're getting really nice follow through On the s and p which usually we don't it it rotates so much These um These moves have have followed through pretty pretty nicely Due to the order flow just due to the reading of the order flow Um, all right, so let's see here The uh All right, so that covers the patterns um and or understand if you're a pattern trader Okay, you can look for very high probability of those patterns working out You can even look at candlestick patterns It it doesn't matter, but just understand the order flow within it. That's what we want to understand Here's our move guys. Um, so We said 73 we're there Yeah, it's going to get interesting down here And we also note in the bigger picture here Really really strong move. We were looking for the buyers to come back in now. We're looking for sellers again Move it back down lower, right? This could be this could be oh, this is what you're talking about Um, alexander. I'm sorry. Um, now I'm getting it. Yeah, this is you turning into your big bear flag Right Move pull back move Okay, so just looking for the move to the swing low now Okay, look at the selling here See the look at how look at how big that is they're going to continue And it's going to continue to drop into these lower levels here Yeah, it took me a while to pick up on that alexander I'm sorry um Yeah The uh, there was another question in here. I got through james's question. Um, oh higher time frame stuff Actually, I wanted to answer this on the um for for james the um This is just beautiful guys been been a really nice day here. Um the Well, you know, you can read the higher time frames here. Um the same way Uh Basically what I will do In in my trading if I'm looking at higher time frames, I'm looking here at rhythmic and um I'm using the same concepts same ideas no different And uh, I'm just looking at consolidation moving it away Consolidations moving it away, etc Uh, now, you know, you're looking at very incomplete data here uh, because Uh, you you can see the price movements and you can see the wicks with the buying and selling Uh, which is insightful very insightful. Uh, however, you don't see the volume Uh within that area, which is you know, makes all the difference in the world And you don't see the supply and the demand What if there's just massive orders up here which there were in the s and p at 4700 Okay, and here it is right here Right, this is where you get the context So if you you know, this is the way I look at it on the higher time frames Uh, I keep it very simple. Um, you know, I know a lot of a lot of people are looking at volume profiles They love the you know the the profiles and the and the market profiles, etc. Yeah, it's good. I I like it The um But you know, you don't you can use any kind of strategy here It's just understanding order flow here even on these higher time frames. You can start to piece together some of the order flow Okay, you can look at structure higher highs higher lows and then uh, look at the look at the speed of some of these moves in the candlesticks Okay, now this is a volume chart here. So it's a 9000 contract volume chart Each bar is 9000 contracts for the for the uh, nasdaq e-mini Okay, now look at the structure though Can you see the structure? Look at look at the swing here. Look at the retest back up to it here today And the drop down to where back down to where they're buying here in the wicks All right, so understanding structure again Same concepts here. It's just very Kind of basic here In the candlestick charts, that's what I look at james and then I look at book map here to confirm it God, this is a mess. All right. Let me uh, let me clean this off There we go All right. All right guys. Well, let's wrap it up. We'll call it a day here Uh, good good session everybody. Uh, some great questions as well. Thank you Uh, I'll post this on youtube. I think later So you guys have reference to it and some good follow through in the s and p which we don't always get Which is nice. So, uh, yeah, thanks for coming everybody And uh, maybe I'll post in in discord trying to use discord more and more James I saw your your post to me. I will respond to you as well as alan But yeah, we're we really want to ramp up our our discord We just think it is such a great way to reach a lot of traders In that community and provide a lot of value because discord set up that way Not just with chat, but with video with with voice, etc We're really looking forward to it. I'm really excited about it. Uh, so Anyway, we're ramping all of that up and You know, it should be uh, it should be You know should work out really well for us in the future here. Okay providing, uh, you know, some really nice education for you guys All right. Thanks for coming. Take care. We'll catch up with you next time. Bye. Bye


Today's stores are in strong competition with the digital world and to be more attractive they need to be filled with life and more interactive than ever before. SD can help you to take on those challenges. We provide the technology to connect your product and improve user experience. This is where NFC technology comes into the game. I am going to show you how to do this with a smart combination of an ST25 NFC Reader and ST25 TEX. It is an all-in-one solution and easy to implement into your product. Inside of this toy train you can see our newest NFC Reader chipset the ST25 R100. We place the IC inside this train adding two antennas pointing either downward or to the side. This enables the train to read out NFC TEX enabled in the rails as well as in other accessories like a signal or an animal when situated close by. All the effects, actions and reactions are triggered depending on the surroundings hence the possibilities are limitless. For example the TEX embedded into the tracks are used to increase the train speed on long straight rails and reduce it approaching narrow curves. The train can be installed for a period of time for example if arriving at the train station. Similarly using the antenna pointing to the side NFC TEX and animals or other objects can be read as well. This will bring additional life into the game by triggering different sound effects or using the conductor to start the journey. Changing the environment will generate a different experience every time. It is impossible to use a mobile phone to program the TEX with a simple to use application. It will change the train's reaction and create endless times of fun. Due to the minimal size requirement NFC can be easily added even though the smallest toys. In addition it is an eco-friendly and highly scalable solution as only the main unit requires batteries while accessories using TEX don't need a power supply. SD provides both NFC TEX and leaders that can be easily combined into an all in one solution to connect your product and improve the user experience. For more information please visit www.sd.com slash st25 and let us together enable a whole new level of interaction for consumer goods and toys.


Thank you Thomas and good afternoon everybody. I appreciate this is the Perhaps the last event for the day and probably the meet as well people are waiting for the farewell meeting finally so well, thank you and I'm gonna take this opportunity to just talk about a Few things which I think will be a little different from perhaps a lot of the meetings that all of you have sat in You know through the last three days Thank you so I'm gonna be speaking. I'm gonna be speaking mostly for the subject of e-learning or technology-enabled learning I'm gonna speak on behalf of my own experience as an e-learning specialist. I've been in the business for about 22 years I'm the CEO just to introduce myself. My name is Raju Ganapathy I'm the CEO of a company a consulting firm in India and in the US by the name of conscience Had the good opportunity of working with schools colleges universities community schools I mean all formats in kind of bringing in different formats of learning and education mostly Technology and digital so it could be a high touch in the class with components with digital It could be less touch and it could be no touch and in the last couple of years We've seen so much more You know the in-between ones with a with a less touch and of course there's a completely self-paced non-demand as well I did not intend to bring in a dark cloud in this room with the things that I'm gonna say So please be mindful and you know apologies if I if I do get you think I get in that direction But that's not my purpose. I'm gonna be speaking for certain things that are fundamental But oftentimes just missed out It's rather easy to actually start finding solutions once you know that there is a problem But oftentimes you really do not know that there is a problem And if you don't know that there's a problem because you heard of it Then we're gonna try and find where is that problem? The third step is to really start looking for solutions So perhaps I'm going to be spending my time talking about the first two which is first trying to even get the sense that a there is a problem for lack of a better expression or a word and Perhaps where are those problems? I'm gonna probably focus on that in the next you know in the remaining part of this I do speak a lot. I'm gonna know I'm gonna rely much less on the screen there It's gonna be mostly coming in from me from my experiences So by all means just stop me put up your hand, you know put up your hand ask questions Or of course you can keep this for the later part as well So without further ado, I'm gonna be speaking for you know, what is it that's changed really? I mean did things change so rapidly in the last five years? Maybe maybe not but all of them find their genesis in certain institutionalized practices I could date this back to the industrial revolution where the first industrial revolution to whatever you may want to call it The third the fourth and I think Google is also speaking for the fifth industrial revolution So I'd rather let you number that but fundamentally where are the issues? What are the problems and how are we really looking at things? So I think the first thing I'm gonna bring your attention to is the fact that Fundamentally the epicenter is shifting Why are things the way they are the good bad and the not so good? That's fundamentally because of the shifting epicenter for the last hundred hundred and fifty years We've been used to a certain format of teaching and a certain format of learning. It's basically brick-and-mortar We've had faculty sit in their car drive to the university or get to the school We've had the teacher standing in front of the class and then students facing the teacher and then having a very personal touch of how Learning is important That's where things started and we basically were and when I say we I'm speaking for the educators They were in control of the learning dissemination process That has happened for much of the last 150 years of modern living whether it's a developed country or whether it's a developing country or still to be developed country Now very rapidly we see that shifting epicenter where again I say this respectfully and mindfully I have the highest respect for educators. I do not think and I hope For a hundred years after we're gone The the instructors will still be the powerhouse because it comes from sheer experience their knowledge and Their wisdom and wisdom is an accumulation of experience of life Which obviously you're not going to find in even as a 25 year old but having said that The sage on the stage It's again the instructors in the center of the overall teaching and dissemination process So the teacher or the instructor belongs to a certain Institute That Institute is determining whether you're in an Ivy League in the US or whether you're in a you know In a good college or whether which institution you are part of it's basically a top-down approach where the faculty is basically Teaching the curriculum the pedagogy and the content of what it is the institution provides for the most part And then we you know we have the learners and then of course we have the content So if you see the triangle on the left-hand side again, it's very heavily focused around The teaching dissemination process where we have the sage on the stage Very respectfully Now obviously in the last five years and you could you could take this to 10 or 15 But more so pronounced since the the advent of the pandemic We're now seeing people taking lives in their own hands and now very quickly The instructor is actually left and we see the Learners at the center of the learner journey that incidentally happens to be a product that we've built I'll keep that for later But the learners at the center of the learner journey It's now the students who are actually experiencing learning the way they think it should be It's no longer one institute. I may be a student of this college or university, but I'm consuming content from LinkedIn I'm taking something from MOOCs. I'm taking something from open educational resources And perhaps I'm not even interested in a degree anymore. I'm probably looking for Vocational training. I want to do something in the next three months and find myself a job so Power more power to the learners and that shift I would respectfully say is this is the opening theme of this conversation here If we understand that Things roll in from there onwards. So if I may say again very respectfully Content that was created and we're speaking as educators and we're speaking in a in a learning management system or a BLE conference The content that was created in the traditional format was actually never Was never made for students to consume themselves. I would underline that and I would also put it in quotes It was ever it was never made for the students So any problem that you speak about the genesis of that problem is the fact that that content was not for the students It was actually for the faculty for the teachers for the trainer to use their soft skills to use their knowledge and Deciminate that from into down to the audience in a high-touch classroom brick-and-mortar environment Now we've not seen any of that in the last two years. Unfortunately the world needed a pandemic To explain this this theory that's said, but that's also the truth So now when we're actually going from a high-touch classroom based environment to an environment where students are now empowered or at least They believe they are and they take their choices They're actually looking for learning that sticks for them. Are they are we creating sufficient learning hooks? Are we going to get them coming back for more? Then I think respectfully we need to have a mindset change We need to have a change of creating content that was earlier teacher facing Instructor faculty facing trainer facing to now directly student facing I say that with my background in instructional design pedagogy and androgogy depending on which audience we're dealing with So that's the first thing when we're going from content That's now speaking to the or speaking to students through the teacher to not directly speaking to the learners If we understand that well and a lot of good universities and companies companies University schools Understand that when they implement their digital programs They understand this genesis and when they take the efforts to creating Overhauling their design in the content. They do find success at the end of it. We've seen a lot of that as well so that's the first thing shifting epicenter and You know the next thing that I would really touch upon is for what I just spoke about now all of this is is good when you speak for this shift in Shift in the paradigm going from here to there as I just explained. What does that really mean when you talk about? using tools Technology and digital as a mean of means of learning now at a moody conference using technology and digital I think structurally I take this back perhaps to the time modern founded Moodle I'm gonna say this in a Moodle conference, but you know whether you're on one VLE or something else and whether you have a choice of 50 other digital tools these tools were actually made at a time When we actually had the former which was the didactic Method of teacher imparting learning to the students That's fundamentally what we will see in the in the design of platforms if we see Any VLE including if we see Moodle? It has been designed keeping in mind how teachers teach, but how do teachers teach in the? erstwhile methodology Today it's not important whether you run a 20 week course or a 50 topics Whether you choose a topic format or a course format, but that's again linear thinking that's didactic and linear Students are interested in outcomes. Students are interested in okay. What is the learning objective? What is the learning outcome? How do I understand this piece of content and that's not going to be necessarily spelt out in? Module number 23 page number 44. That's meaningless for the audience So specifically for instructional design versus structural design what I'm really talking about is the point where the rubber meets the road More often than not I say this also because we've just you know beta launched a product My learner journey. It's directly being launched for schools colleges and universities here in the U You know I'll talk about this please you can stop by but fundamentally when we talk about the science of instruction That's the forte of instructional designers They understand the science the science goes back to a hundred years all through the last three days Whether you talk about a Bloom's taxonomy a Garnier a David Merrill a Waikalski a Piaget There are a half a dozen to one dozen very good instructional design Methodologies at play the science goes back to a hundred years. How do we make effective efficacious learning? But the last 30 40 years have been around using tools and digital and technology to do that same process No, it's all good to have this great team of instructional designers who understand How to deal with teaching as a subject and how to deal with content, but that's my left hand My left hand needs to speak to my right hand, which is what I talk about as structural design So in this case the the instructional design is my left hand and the structural design is my right hand now How do these two people meet? It's going to be funny for some of you who are probably dealing with this process You need your developer to sit on the same side of the table as your Designer I've been doing it for 22 years. I say that with humility, but that's where the rubber meets the road So when you have to actually explain so a lot of the technology that we deal with today is actually coming from The erstwhile methods of teaching and that's why platforms regardless of what we see in the US and outside We're a US company. So we you know, that's probably a largest market There is a lot of grinding or to say the least friction between how design should be from a teaching methodology versus how design is from the way the application is built under the hood and The future generation of platforms even the future of Moodle, I hope and will I'm pretty confident has to address this particular aspect of design thinking from a teaching standpoint to how a platform is conceived and Finally delivered and that's still a long journey from from where I can see it today So that's the fundamental of instruction design versus structural design. I did touch upon this earlier, but I Think you're getting the point just by reading the title Didactic instruction the page paradigm versus adaptive and personalized. I already touched upon this a little bit It's very linear If I mean we were at a point where actually we were consuming earlier even till my generation Which was 25 years ago when I finished studying We were learning the way we were being taught Now it's not about the way we're being taught We're deciding deciding as students for the much younger generations how we want to learn and now we have not one not three But 55 choices Whether I want to study You know completely self-paced completely on demand a hybrid even my tools whether I want to go back to paper or whether You want to use a simulation? so again coming out of the page paradigm and everything that you would see in every format Regardless of the tool is very didactic in format That's perhaps why we find friction between what we're conceiving as a good Implementation versus actually what the users think they're consuming as learners at the center of that learner journey Perhaps that's my next slide, but I already said it so and sorry I did not come rehearsed this I'm just speaking for what I'm seeing here, but that's the fundamental thing now We're really talking about adaptive and personalized learning now what I consume should be suitable for my needs Perhaps if I go back to my childhood I I would just say this one thing. I've not been an educator I've been working with educators all my career creating great efficacious learning solutions But only if an educator spend the first five minutes explaining to a little child and I have a seven-year-old To her if you if you study this now 20 years later, you're going to be applying it here Maybe you're going to be constructing that bridge in London, North Paris or in India or wherever else that Association is extremely important and you know the why Automatically may bring You know may have little kids changing their career pathways We're all a function of our environment and we've only done what we've been you know experiencing in that space So anyways, that's didactic instruction and the page paradigm. That's mostly Seen in platforms in methods of instruction versus adaptive and personalized which is also being used very effectively in a lot of scenarios And of course the experience through the eyes of the beholder again, it's the learners at the center of the learner journey and It is definitely becoming more online it is becoming more blended and more hybrid now What does that mean? It really requires for the first three things in my opinion that I just spoke about to be you know You need to take a hard look at it right from the the methods of instruction To the platform and technology that you choose and the platform and technology that gets built has to address Whether it's actually the learners at the center of the learner journey. We're building I mean you could be creating content in a Word document and a PowerPoint and PDF and we could very well do that for the Next 50 years and that's very effective and for the ones that spend a lot of money and time and effort They're also building out simulations and high-end simulations. It's not about the medium It's about the design process that we apply even with paper and pencil and If we bring the learners in the center of that process, we have good instructional designers who can actually help that process Now again I have been speaking on the subject of instructional design for much of my career And I know I only stretch the surface even if I try it for another 22 years The what of the teaching obviously comes from is the prerogative of the subject matter expert the faculty the staff But the how-to of the teaching is not one that will come more naturally The science of instructional design the how-to of the teaching comes very well from the instructional designers That's why it's so important for instructional designers to you know Mate with and sit down with faculty to actually improve the design process of whatever it is You're building whether it's paper or whether it's a flying object on the screen. The the medium does not matter So that's what I would speak for in terms of experience through the eyes of the beholder and Of course in a conference like this and I speak for the future of where these platforms go In back in June I was at the one at Tech, which is now the one at Tech It was the IMS global learning with the makers of interoperable standards up until this moment We're still dealing with a very limited number of May I say connected platforms? This is going to multiply by a hundred within the next three years and no one person or one company controls that I'm very confident of that. We all thought that you know the makers of wheelies Even if they've been around for 10 or 20 years have the right past the first past to you know Starting to teach students when when they when it becomes relevant Which is through the pandemic of the last two years little did we know that there's a company called maybe a zoom That's actually where you know 95% of learning has actually happened So are we going to focus on zoom and Microsoft teams or do we go do we put up our hands and say no We're the makers of wheelies here or something else that no it's not going to be that way So the hub and the spoke model in in all of what I just described. We're talking about connected ecosystems We're talking about perhaps really as the hub unless something else comes and changes it in the future But we're talking about in my rate and an infinite number of connected spokes You have assessment tools We have a lot of great companies that are presenting a lot of their own engines including the gentleman who was speaking for the Notetaking on a video software So regardless how I mean if you have ten components that you think you're going to use for learning for assessment for Survey for block for quiz, you know, you know what you're using Each of those have at least ten more in terms of options to choose from so that automatically is a spider web of 50 to a hundred so We have to be mindful of When we're designing these platforms or rather when we decide how we want to bring the learner journey for our respective program We're not dealing with one or two, but we're dealing with at least 15 20 different connected spokes And that's basically the future in my personal opinion This is perhaps the last in my presentation here, but I like to touch upon the subject. Sorry I want just to go back. I mean, of course when I'm speaking for the hub in the connected spokes I am obviously speaking for good interoperable solutions LTI learning tool interoperability from the one a tech Framework is great. It's powerful. Of course, it's questionable on, you know, a lot of things like security and things But they're all getting resolved as we speak. So the more we embrace Standards we're more open to actually adapting to outside Technologies still being safe and secure with the students with GDPR with data, etc Perhaps Design for analytics is the last slide of my presentation. I want to just take that's right, but I This was not intentional, but this is unfortunately how it happens as well analytics is generally an afterthought Just like my slide It should not have been the last slide. It should have actually been the very first slide, but it's a pity When you're actually talking about analytics, it's not about okay, we finished teaching this course now Let's see what we can find out of it So it should actually be the first step so there are Universities there are schools there are great companies on this planet and training and corporate training and LND Where if you actually are creating let's say the simplest even a didactic course or a fairly advanced simulation In my company, we're actually let's say we're building a lot of biology and physics and chemistry labs How do you do a grand-stain? Stain, you know, how do you test the bacteria? It's a 37 step process Now in each of those 37 steps you could actually be bringing in You could actually be bringing in you could pre design what it is you want to actually gather as important data Not let for a platform to find out some data and show it to you But a good instructional designer through the course design process will actually help So when if you're familiar with the concept of storyboarding, which is the you know for me Is the blueprint for any design process and course design and development in the process of storyboarding a good instructional designer will actually put in the elements of what is meaningful actionable data for me and That could be the 37 step grand stain It could be going to a minus 20 degrees, you know refrigeration Unit where you have to do an advanced simulation, you know that this gentleman at this eighth step Did this step wrong in the second attempt? There is science that's already ready. It's the equivalent of what Google Facebook and all the other big five Tech I mean they probably know the number of people sitting in this room by our names Just by virtue of our cell phones in our pocket. The same science is already there. It's ready It's applicable to the science of learning as well. So when you create a course the next time I would definitely Advocate recommend and feel very proud if I see more of solutions where Design for analytics is the first step not the last step and with that. I want to thank you all I'm not sure of the time, but thank you all for your time and I Want to leave it on this, but we are actually piloting a project We're in beta phase for university schools and colleges specifically here within the European Union And that's a specific product where you'll find us in the in the alley and we're happy to show it to you specifically again if you're a school college or University some thank you again and happy to take any questions if there is time We experience at our universities that students are keen to come back to university So There is Some issue about arguing that well It's it's the end of the time where you go into a lecture hall and listen to the teacher Because if you ask students they're keen to come back to university not only to to these lectures But to see each other What what is your expectation? How will this be? Connected with your approach of this learner center centered not non Physical Be together set up of learning. Thank you. That's that's a that's a great question And I think that will also help me clarify perhaps all of what I said in the last 20 odd minutes I want to say the first sentence which does not even have to do with learning as a as a subject But humans by nature are supposed to be symbiotic and that's why we're so dying to get back and meeting people and embracing people Three weeks from now. I'm going to be probably giving people in Denver to hug I'm going to be meeting with people at the edu cause conference. So yes So first and foremost people are symbiotic by nature Since I run a company. I'm also not for work from home. I am for work from office I want people I want my staff coming back So that's point number one people are going to be doing that so it's not about the physical location of where people are It's the method and it's the mindset Now whether you find your students sitting in the house or whether you find them in front of you Even if they're sitting right here as a student The methods and the science of how that student things has changed in the last over the last 150 years, which is what I'm trying to pronounce here. So nothing has changed This is this I'm not trying again as I said earlier the The teacher the sage on the stage is extremely important The connection the mentorship is very important But the methods around it has to be one that embraces students at the center not the physical proximity Thank you Thank you. Really interesting discussion interesting for you to bring up the idea of the friction and talking about being Instructional designers and developers to be on the same side of the table and you were saying that you do consulting work It's I mean, yes, we do most of what you do Do you find that people are ready to sit down at the same time at the side of the table that they've identified that there is a there is a there is Structural things that instructional designers can help with that if they were on the same side things would go better Short answer it's disappointing right If you achieve 10% I think you have a big win. That's my experience with this subject I'm saying that from my conscience the name of my company is also conscience So I have to be honest with you, but yes, that is the big change that is required Our methods of how we seek need to change I'm perhaps getting to the level of philosophy here, but I have to stop at that. Oh Yes, oh, I'm sorry. I mean again, of course we if I speak for I mean This is not about again what I'm specifically doing or my company is doing but Yes, there are great universities and schools and colleges and these need not have to be very big and most pronounced People who understand these things are finding success in great pockets I can say that from 22 years of practice when I'm trying to give an intelligent solution to somebody here today in 2023 almost I am perhaps saying the same thing that I did probably 15 years ago Five years ago 10 years ago and it's still accepted as a great suggestion Yeah, it is a great suggestion. It's not one. That's there that they're using But it needs the realization So if we can embrace the fact that we're educators, we understand the subject matter The SME the subject matter experts understand the what of the teaching but the how-to in the u.s More specifically, it's a two-year degree program. These are people with a background in Psychology or education. They're teaching their educators for 15 years 20 years Then they go and take a certificate program in instructional design and there they learn the I mean One of the biggest challenges you have a large course to decide which piece of that content is best suitable for what format is A science and an art combined so that's better left to a Set of folks that can actually suggest and That's what I would advocate and yes the short answer to your question. Yes, there are successes I mean the large ones do it very well in all parts of the world, but it needs I think more embracing


students who I know how pressed you are because this is exams time so the fact that you've taken time here to be it's really really something I'm very thankful I think it's really important for us for me especially and for my colleagues as the students of economics to have an opportunity to talk with President Draghi. I think it's amazing because we just read about ECB policies and now we have this we can ask directly to Mother Draghi. Usually we go around and we talk. It's us who talk. Now this time it's us who want to listen. We, how do we as young economists, managers, bankers, how can we create these dialogue platforms like this one to become more active, more informed citizens and how can we help other citizens also understand the policy stance. Thank you. You have boundless technology possibilities for strengthening, for enhancing your social capacity. It's quite clear that all this is going to be an energy for good if it produces reliable and transparent information. That's the pillar of trust. We now got a question coming from quite far away by LinkedIn from China. I think it was good because the ECB is such a distant institution and today we felt that it was close to us to the students and to society.


everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Arma with the stocks question reviewing Domino's Pizza. This is a beautiful earnings report a couple of days ago. I guess it was last weekend. And it was such an unexpected move, meaning I my bias to this was to the upside, but I never never never thought it would do what it did. Close the night before 29710 and open. This is insane. I mean, almost opened 100 points. It ended up rallying more than 100 points. And now after the market sell off yesterday and Monday, I mean, this stock is getting bought. So it's kind of like, woo, this is definitely one of the strongest things. Here's 38186. Today, it ran up over 375. It's gonna take a peek here at the market. Markets trying to hold we'll see if it does over 220 here the queue should hold we're almost there. So it quick rally back after the sell off yesterday and Monday for the market. And I if you're going to go long, I'd focus on strong things and and Domino's Pizza is one of them. So I called two options trades in this and recalls, they look good. So give it time to run out and we'll see what the rest of the day in the market brings. If you're interested in the gap options newsletter, email me and Melissa at the stockswush.com is an annual newsletter for 5999 a year. If you're interested in learning the system of how I make the picks like Domino's and other picks to then the class is this weekend to learn the golden gap system. It's February 29th and March 1st. Have a good day everyone.


All right, let's get this video started took me forever to set up the camera lights and the audio of the mic But here we are There's a lot of you guys asked me what my calorie intake was I thought I'm just gonna create a video show you guys exactly how to determine how much Calories how many calories you need how much protein blah blah blah There are a lot of different approaches out there on how to determine how many calories you need But this one is pretty simple and that's why I like it because it works for me and yes I want to share that with you. Let's just jump right into it. So I Didn't even know where I put it right here What I want to start with is this very important to know that one gram of protein has four calories One gram of carbs has four calories and one gram of fat has nine calories This is the most important thing to know for this equation So let's start with how many calories do I need on a daily basis the formula is body weight times? 13 to 16 I personally put myself at a 15 because I do personal training. So I move a lot throughout the entire day I Work out for myself as well. So I'm pretty active. I barely sit down during the day I mean, yeah, when I edit a video, but like that's an hour or two hours a day But for the rest of the day, I'm just running around and doing stuff For example, if you work at an office and you sit at the desk the entire day You might want to put yourself lower at like 13 to 13 and a half 14 And if you're like a pro athlete, then you probably put yourself at like 16. Here's what I did calories for me I weigh 180 pounds times 15 equals 2700 calories So that's what I need on a daily basis to keep my muscle mass to keep the body that it looks right now Protein how much protein should you take on a daily basis? I personally love Just one gram per pound of body weight. There are people out there who take it like 1.5 or even more I'm on a plant-based diet. So for me one gram works perfectly fine If you want to reduce the protein intake to like 0.8 That's fine too. But like I said for me personally, I've seen the best results When I did one gram per pound of body weight. So right here again body weight 180 pounds times one is a hundred and eighty grams of protein on a daily basis Let's talk about fat so there are many studies out there that say 0.3 to 0.4 grams per pound of body weight is Great, I personally work the best if I'm at 0.5 grams of fat per pound of body weight So like I said, I'm on a plant-based diet So I have a lot of plant-based fast like avocado nonsense seeds And I really need that to recover faster from my workouts because I tried reducing the fat intake First of all, I had to increase the carbon take which didn't work out for me because I added more body fat So I reduced my carbon take and increase the fat intake and all of a sudden like I lost body fat while Maintaining my muscle mass and at the same time recover way faster to go back at the gym that 180 times 0.5 is 90 grams of fat But like I mentioned in the beginning you can do 0.3 to 0.4 grams of fat per pound of body weight and you're perfectly fine Let's talk about my favorite topic cards I just I just love carbs like pasta rice potatoes I could eat it every single day, but it's important to know how many grams of carbs you should eat a day Me know if you want to be shredded if you want to have that six, but this is an important topic right now Cards, it's a little different.  We are here carbs We have two thousand seven hundred calories that I need on a daily basis to keep my 180 pounds of body weight. I subtract 720 that is 180 times four So that's my protein and I also subtract subtract My god 90 grams times nine, which is 810 which leads to one thousand one hundred and seventy calories divided by four calories per card equals two hundred and ninety two grams of Cards, but this is what I need on a daily basis to keep a hundred and eighty pounds on my body Okay, now let's move on to a frequently asked question where it's like hey now I know what it is, but how do I lose weight right or how do I gain weight for me? It's always been how do I gain weight because I always wanted to you know be bigger be you know bulky like massive So this is what I do some people might tell you yeah increase by 250 to 300 calories per day And then over time you will see you know a substantial muscle gain for me that is to I Don't know like I don't want to play with like 200 should I increase to 250 should I increase to 300? That's not nice style. So here's my mentality if I want to gain weight So let's just say I'm at 180 right now, and I want to weigh 190 pounds instead of adding like 200 300 calories a day This is what I'm doing So let's say I want to be in the future Goal is 190 pounds Okay So Let me step over here. So this is where I am right now, and this is my goal 190 pounds. Okay So this is step number one. So now I know instead of 2700 I need 2850 calories to get to that goal and now I'm just gonna do the same math just over here So give me a second. So here it is you guys can see it's not a big difference It's a really small difference It's exactly over here 150 calories right and that what I mentioned earlier people add like 200 calories 300 calories They want to gain weight or if they want to lose weight they want to lose weight that just subtract 200 300 500 calories where you where you're going to a deficit and then your body's in a shock and then it's like Oh my god, I cannot lose weight and then this cycle happens, right?  So again All I did was I established where I am right now 180 times 15 because this is how much I move every single day is this is my calorie intake that I need For 180 pounds now my goal is 190 pounds Same thing 2850 calories so 150 calories difference on a daily basis over time that makes a big difference Protein is just 10 grams for fats. It's five grams of difference and over here.  Alright, so that's it Let me know if you want to see more videos like this This was the very first Educational video on my channel because usually I just share my workout plans. I talk a little bit about it It's a little bit more motivational But yeah, if you want to see more videos like this where I explain nutrition or like workouts or exercises or whatever it is Leave a comment below. Let me know what that is. Also, if you haven't subscribed yet, please subscribe and hit the notification button Also leave a like on this video and that's about it.
