adequacy and uniformity. We had seen that what do we mean by these two terms? What is uniformity and what is adequacy? And we had depicted that through this representation. Now if we want to have an idea how these two things vary or how they get interrelated with respect to the change in one, having a specific case again we are going to select a case where we have the variation of uniformity coefficient for the same level of adequacy. So in this case let us assume that the adequacy level is 50 percent in all these three cases but the same time the uniformity coefficient varies and in this particular case the uniformity coefficient is low because there is more non-uniformity. If you look at the expression of the uniformity coefficient the deviations are much higher from the mean and in this particular case this is the mean level of irrigation which is applied. Let us say for our explanation purpose that this is corresponding to a uniformity coefficient of 70 percent, this case corresponds to a uniformity coefficient of 80 percent and this is the case which corresponds to a uniformity coefficient of 90 percent but in each case the level of adequacy is 50 percent that means in 50 percent of the area the depth of irrigation is equal to or more than the required depth of moisture which is required in that particular soil for that condition. So the deficit is taken care of in 50 percent of the area that is how we have defined the adequacy level. This gives you another observation which you can make from this representation is that if you look at each of these three cases the adequacy level is remaining same but still the amount of wastage in this case the deep percolation is much higher in comparison to the deep percolation of this situation, one observation that means you are having more losses which is quite evident from the fact that uniformity coefficient is low and we have said that if the uniformity coefficient will be low the percolation losses will be higher, the losses will be of higher magnitude but besides that there is another very important aspect that the deficit is also much much higher in some of the areas. So what will be the effect of that deficit, there will be higher stresses in some portion of the area, this portion will have very high crop stress, the stress level in the crop will be much higher because of the higher level of the deficit whereas in the case of this last situation where the uniformity coefficient is very high, though the deficit is there but that deficit might not create any ill effects on the crop, the crop might not have effect to the extent that the yield is affected, so though this deficit is the order of magnitude it depends what is the order of magnitude of this deficit and you know that the soil the extraction pattern of the soil is varying with respect to the crops, there are some crops which can extract more moisture from the same soil, there are some crops which can extract less moisture because it is a function of what type of root system the crops have. So there might be some crops where you can afford to have a lower level of uniformity coefficient but there is a limiting level which you cannot go beyond, if you go beyond that then it is going to affect the yield of the crop. So this relationship is very important to be understood, if you have to design your systems properly that is not only the adequacy which has to be taken into consideration, you have to take into consideration the uniformity along with adequacy and these two items they are related with many other parameters also which we will try to look into but let us try to go deeper into the real design aspect, how these two items the uniformity coefficient and adequacy they have been utilized to formulate some guidelines through some in the form of either the design charts or in the form of some tables which can be in turn utilized to go in for the first level of designs which will give you some indication regarding the matching of these two parameters and you can choose from that set of relationships or the design charts. In this particular case I am going to give you a table which will help the designer to pick up the relevant values of these parameters which are acceptable parameters and then come out with a design which is the maybe the starting value of the design. So in all these things since so much research has been done in most of the situation you will find that there are some guidelines either in the form of tables or in the form of charts which are available even the companies who are manufacturing the sprinkler systems they are giving like lot of design material which can help the designers in selection of those relevant combinations of equipment because ultimately the type of parameters which you are which you can visualize at this stage are sizes of these nozzles, sizes of the pipes, spacing between the sprinklers or the spacing between the laters all these are the relevant parameters and we will reach that stage but let us look at some other related item before we reach there. Now if we construct with respect to the distribution coefficient if on this side I take the inductive and I assume that the applied water pattern is normally distributed which is not a very drawn assumption might find that the distribution pattern is something which we have already drawn but I am drawing in a continuous form if this is the area in percent and this we have said is the this level will give you the adequacy level in this particular case and this is the I will call it area A water is stored in the soil this area which represents deep percolation, this area C represents the amount of deficit in other words this is the depth of irrigation so this is corresponding to a specific uniformity coefficient and a specific level of adequacy and there are two terms which are defined to relate these two parameters and these two terms are water storage coefficient is graded as E this is nothing but 1 minus the deep percolation expressed as fraction the term is distribution coefficient represented as H and this H is basically defined as the fraction of the mean depth of application equaled or exceeded area which is adequately irrigated that is how these two terms have been defined basically this term gives the relationship between the percolation loss and is called the water storage coefficient because this will give how effectively the water has been stored into the soil whereas the distribution coefficient will give you something about the distribution of the water which has been stored in terms of how well it has been distributed. So that these two items are used in the table which has been brought out to relate the two parameters the uniformity coefficient and the area adequately irrigated which is small a. I will give you only a part of the table for some in between values just to give you the idea how these items vary from one level of uniformity coefficient to the other levels and from one level of small a which is the area adequately irrigated or level of adequacy a very high level of adequacy to a low level of adequacy and for these two parameters which is the distribution coefficient and the water storage coefficient you will find that this particular relationship then in turn can be used effectively for the preliminary designs and we will take up a small example to show that that how you can make use of the stable that we take a very low value of okay for 80 percent uniformity coefficient the values go down drastically when you want to have a higher level of adequacy and see here that these values are achievable values these values are the ones which have been tested in the field. So the scope of the application of these type of tables is very enormous in the sense that you can avoid doing experimentation in different locations of the world all this data has been compiled and made available for the researchers so that they can avoid duplicating the effort unnecessarily from one place to another place and in some cases you might have to again go in for some of these the validation of some of these parameters if they are some local effects which are known to be predominant. For example in the case of 60 percent of uniformity coefficient you might not be able to achieve anything when you have 60 percent uniformity coefficient these levels of adequacy are not achievable you have only values which are starting somewhere here and these also are very reduced values in comparison that means if you have this type of uniformity coefficient the adequacy level the distribution coefficient as well as the water storage coefficients will be very drastically reduced for higher levels of adequacy. So this some the table is complete table will be given to you along with the resource material now let us have a look how we can make use of this table for some of the actual exercises and we will take one case where we have been given some data the data which is given is that you have uniformity coefficient of 80 percent the adequacy level is 75 percent and the mean depth of application is 2 centimeters with this known data you want to compute you want to compute what is the net net depth of irrigation received over 75 percent of the field of the level of adequacy and secondly you will also like to know what is the radial average of deep percolation so what are the deep percolation losses these are the 2 items which you will be interested in now using the table you can find out for the 80 percent of uniformity coefficient and against a value of adequacy level of 75 percent the value of distribution coefficient h is found to be 0.831 is the distribution coefficient what is storage coefficient is 0.793 so the way you have defined distribution coefficient if you take the depth equal or exceeded over the area adequately irrigated as yad is a depth which is equal or exceeded over the area which is adequately irrigated that is the area small a so this depth which is equal or exceeded over the adequately irrigated area can be expressed now as the distribution coefficient times the mean depth and since you know the h value is 0.83 time and the mean depth is 2 centimeters that means which is equal or exceeded over the area of adequately irrigated segment of the field is only 1.66 centimeters similarly the relationship between the water storage coefficient and the deep percolation if I take Ld as the deep percolation the water storage coefficient is 1 minus the deep percolation because of the fact that there are no surface runoff losses and that is otherwise if there are surface runoff losses they will have to be incorporated here. So since the a priori assumption in our spring irrigation system is that we do not let any surface runoff occurs we can safely take this as the only loss and the water storage coefficient can be expressed as 1 minus Ld. So knowing the e value Ld can be found out now which is 1 minus 0.793 this is 0.207 that is again in fraction if you want to know the depth of deep percolation in terms of the absolute units of centimeters that we can call the Ydp is equal to Ld into the average depth of application which is 2 centimeters so you have into 2 which is 0.41 centimeters so your depth of deep percolation is 0.41 centimeters that is how you can make use of that information which is available made available in the table for different levels of uniform to coefficient and for different levels of adequacy. Now as I was mentioning in the last lecture that in many situations where you might be able to enhance the uniform to coefficient by adjusting the spacings is possible is quite likely that you might enhance the uniform to coefficient if you take the spacing between the sprinkler or the spacing between the liters are reduced or in other words what you are doing is that you are having more of overlap so through that additional overlap you can reduce the inaccuracies or the unevenness of the distribution and that is what makes the uniform to coefficient go higher but we have to see that is that a cost? Is that a cost of equipment is at the cost of operational cost going up all these things they have to be evaluated before you make such any such decision. So in terms of again in terms of the different varieties of the crops the different sectors are different types of crops there are recommended levels which have been which have been brought forward after a lot of experience all over the world and that is what is the trade-off we can say that what is the trade-off between the uniform to coefficient and the adequacy levels. The recommendations which have been given are with respect to three categories that if you have field crops the uniform to coefficient which are achievable as well as they are reasonable in terms of the cost in terms of how much gain you get how much is the advantage if you go in for those additional costs with respect to the crops it is found that if you are having the field crops you should go in for something like this combination that uniform to coefficient of 80 percent and adequacy level of 75 percent whereas if you have the orchards the uniform to coefficient of a lower level as well as the adequacy level of a lower order of magnitude might suffice your requirement because in the case of orchards you can afford to have this combination. If you have specialty crops which are high value crops then these levels are recommended. So there is again these are only the order of magnitudes there is no hard and fast tool that you have to stick to these but you might find that you will be quite reasonably comfortable if you are within these ranges. Next we will try to take up the very important aspect is related to this method of irrigation there is the process of evaporation and wind drift you will find that in this method the evaporation is very significant because of the fact that the surface area which is exposed to evaporation is much larger in the case of conventional flooding methods or surface irrigation systems which we have considered so far. There also the evaporation is there but the evaporation can only take place from the surface of the water and the surface area is much less. Now you will ask why that is what you want to know. Yes what she is saying is that in the case of conventional irrigation methods there are there can be more losses because of the fact that the water is coming through a channel system and there can be convenience losses but those convenience losses we are not comparing we are comparing we are looking at the evaporation losses yes they can be evaporation losses from the channels also but that is again in many irrigation systems the surface irrigation systems you might use the buried pipes also or you might use the lined canal which will reduce the convenience losses. The evaporation losses can also be reduced if you use the buried pipes which are not running under pressure but that is not very normally normally is not used is avoided but even even then that is one segment where you might save some water. What I am trying to compare is that when you have the water flowing in the field at that level if you compare with the water which you are spraying in the field the surface area which is exposed to the evaporation process is much much higher because of the fact that you are having droplets now. The drops which are coming out to the ground now the total area is exposed to the process of evaporation and the smaller the drops the higher will be there the surface area. That is the reason that when you have disintegration of the jet into very small particles the level of evaporation will be still higher but it is a very complicated process because there are many other processes which are involved because when you are having the inter-irrigation system operating even the environment is also changing. The water is coming onto the canopy of the crop which is again which will also induce some other change in environment. So this process is still not very crystal clear that what are the various levels of activities which are prevalent in this particular zone, what happens to the overall level of activity there is a reason that is also difficult to separate the components like evaporation and the wind drift. The evaporation has been considered through again through some level of analysis there are relationships which have been put forward and these relationships are either in the form of charts or the equations which are the result of regression analysis. The wind drift is another component which is which is very important so we consider it what do you mean by the wind drift? The wind drift is that as we have seen that wind distorts the distribution pattern of the individual sprinkler. There can be many possibilities one is that if you have a very big area the distortion has taken place the wind has drifted some other amount of water from one location which was in the water which was supposed to be within the circle of influence of a particular sprinkler head it has got drifted and gone to the area which is beyond this circle. But still if you look at the overall field it still might have remained within the field. It has not gone beyond the area under application or area which is which is to be irrigated. That you might say that it is not a loss it is not a effective loss still the water has remained within the area which was supposed to be irrigated only thing of that the displacement has taken place and that displacement is followed under all the individual irrigation patterns. In certain cases if there is some nozzle which is at the periphery the water might get drifted and might be lost from the area which was supposed to be irrigated it might go and be dumped into some other area which was not which you are not even intending to irrigate. So the wind drift effect also has to be considered very carefully that how much is the loss because of the wind drift and how you have to account for it. All these both these factors they have been put together just from the aspect that they are in many cases is very difficult to separate the two. It is something like evapotranspiration the way we consider the evapotranspiration. So in this particular case the loss due to evaporation and wind drift is taken in conjunction and we will look at the expression how we can model this particular component. What are the parameters which are what are the elements which are important to be considered for considering this loss and how it has been taken into account. The vapor pressure is assumed to be having the maximum effect. This component which is the evaporation and wind drift expressed in percentage is given as L s this is again a equation which is a regression equation it has been calibrated from the known data this is the total equation L s we have said that is the evaporation in percentage, total diameter total of the sprinkler head the diameter of that in millimeters small h is the nozzle operating pressure kilo Pascal and u is the wind velocity meters per second. Furthermore the vapor pressure deficit if you have the values of E s and E available you can directly find out the vapor pressure otherwise relationship has been given which is giving the value of the vapor pressure in terms of the temperature and relative humidity which is more often available in the actual situation in most of the places wherever you have observatory you will have the temperature data and the relative humidity data and this is the relationship which is used for. So here this pressure deficit kilo Pascal k is the air temperature in degrees centigrade and relative humidity as a fraction expressed in fraction. So once you have the the loss due to evaporation and wind drift then you can easily find out the combined application and the distribution efficiency if you call E c as a combined efficiency which includes the application efficiency as the distribution pattern efficiency the way we are defining it is nothing but these two elements where L d is the deep percolation expressed as fraction and this is the evaporation wind drift loss expressed as fraction. So once you have this that give you the level of efficiency which you can achieve under the varying conditions of evaporation and wind drift. Again there is another relationship which is established for different types of irrigation systems which we have in the beginning we had mentioned about them and these systems we had said was varying from hand move to side roll system that is what we are discussing so far then the solid set system these two systems the solid set system with the low wind design and with the high wind design this we are going to discuss subsequently that how we can incorporate the wind conditions in the design itself and there is a method which is used to have enhanced efficiencies by considering a particular way of designing the system then the central pivot and the linear move which is the similar system but the way of operation is different and the big gun system again with the low wind design and the high wind design conditions. These values which are expressed here there again the design values which are achievable they are attainable and they give the combination of these will give you the first level of design which is possible which you should aspire for. The uniform deco-efficient for this type of system is found to be closer to this which can be achieved with the adequacy level of 75 percent, runoff is to be avoided the deep percolation losses are of the order of around 18 percent and the evaporation and drift losses are of the order of 15 to 8 percent and the combined efficiency which is achievable is of this order of magnitude. Similarly for solid set system these are the order of magnitude of and this particular case the adequacy level has been intentionally kept at 75 percent so that you can compare the methods, how the methods are compared for the same level of adequacy for if the level of adequacy will change then your other efficiencies will also accordingly change. So this is deliberately set at 75 percent that if you have the same level of adequacy how the other things are influenced by the different types of methods which you might adopt. You will see the uniform deco-efficient is maximum for the central pivot system and the combined efficiency is also quite reasonably good in comparison to the other methods. You can also observe in the case of big gun your evaporation and wind drift losses are minimum because the fact that the drop sizes are much bigger in the case of big gun there is one thing and then the drift losses since the bigger sizes of drops are there the drift losses will also reduce. Next we will go to the component of system design. We will take up one by one the important components which need to be looked into for the purpose of system design and the first component which is very important to be considered is the application rate or the rate of applications which are required to be considered or required to be used. For example when you look at the rate of application you have also to consider that the rate of application can be looked at from two angles one is the gross rate of application and the other is the net rate of application because what you are applying through the system has to cater for the losses also. So all those losses which are taking place and there might be some water which is not reaching the ground though is getting is leaving the nozzle but is not reaching the ground because of the evaporation some because of the evaporation some part because of the drift also it might not be reaching. So when you are looking at the application rates you have to see you have to use those rates which are to be applied in conjunction with the relevant losses prevailing at that particular location. So you cannot you cannot generalize these application rates irrespective of which place you are considering this system to be installed that is what we will look into along with the other details which are very important when you look at these application rates because it is not just the application rate is it has to be considered in conjunction with is that application rate is commensurate with respect to the distribution pattern what is the pressure because that will be decided by the pressure which is under which the water is being made available. So all these things since they are related we are we are looking them in conjunction with the other relevant items but what I wanted to make certain was that you cannot take the application rates in isolation it has to be with respect to the local conditions that is a mistake which most of the designers will make if they do not consider the local losses the losses of evaporation and the wind drift which are very specific to the local areas okay. So with that we stop here today any question?


Now we have it. That's the second big dint of the job done Thank you concrete company as you can see laser set up. That's our date online. That's no particular height That's just supposed to measure down on Good morning and welcome to Thursday the 7th of December at Fairpast 8 so We've just arrived at work We've been to Fairwoods to pick up the Insulation what type of insulation is it? I always call it PIR the Cellotech stuff, you know the stuff on the floor the foil back PIR stuff So we've got three of them. We've got a jab light 25 mil for the cold bridge and strip We've already got a piece of viscine cut yesterday that we put down to weatherproof it overnight And we've got the other two pieces which are going to go under the insulation So first things first, Alex is going to start bringing the sand around for the blinding which we shouldn't need much of I need to knock on the door and get the customer to open the back door so I can check the levels because the doors are coming out It's going to be a level floor through which always gets gets you a bit nervous So it's just coming right now And it's not raining so far. It's due to rain all day, but heavier this afternoon. So the big push is Get it prepped today And leave it Trying at the concrete tomorrow morning. We don't want to be concrete in this afternoon In case we're not ready and plus it's going to rain really heavy, which is an ideal for the floor so I'm going to work around the weather on this one We've brought the tent just in case because If I'm taping the viscine around the door, it's got a good bone dry Yeah, let's get out there and get stuck into it I've got much in there so that's not too bad. I'm going to try and get this out and get all the water out with it As you can see the laser set up, that's our date in line. That's no particular height That's just supposed to measure down off So we're going to open the door measure down to the existing floor get that measurement and then check that measurement with our DPC level and see whether we need to add anything to it or or not. Hopefully it's slightly lower Yeah, that's it. We need to get this out get this door open But we need to open the door for us. So on time lapse then we've had the door open. We've dipped it with the tape We've got 365 to the floor and then we've got 390 to our DPC So that's 25mm lower than that So what we're going to do is we're going to stick to our DPC and just tamp it level and then it's going to be laminate floor inside Customers just said they're going to use laminate so if it is slightly lower on the floor We can build it up with the insulation to the laminate So the main thing is we don't get the slab high No, we don't want it high or more than 10mm low We don't want 50mm low again, do we? Remember that one. I don't have any good memories from that job Oh, yeah, there are cats here. Yeah, so there you go. Switch the laser off. Well, leave the laser on for a bit So I'm going to start We need about 30mm of sand more or less all the way around Nice and dry because we kept the plastic on The only wet bit is there We're up against here, so Sand blinded We're going to get the two pieces of the screen in the tape go up and then that top piece is for the top layer Everything's ready. So let's just get cracking and get done It's threatening. So let's get it cracked off Up against it today That's as usual. So firstly, which isn't important at all.  We've left a message because no one's in so hopefully Look it back to us soon If they can't see us today then tomorrow hopefully we're not concrete today, so there's no rush Obviously if they can't see us today, that's great. If not Fingers crossed for tomorrow and we can get concrete in That's just gonna get this smoothed out now see if we need any more and then we'll get started with the screen Have you changed it for 4k by the way? Oh, yes Little speed bump. I think I don't think we're going enough insulation boards But we're going back to Fairwoods anyway because we need to order some more sand so We might just Get all this get what we can set up now get all the coal bridging in and then have quick break In Snip to Fairwoods now, maybe Order the sand get this other sheets and then get back here Finish it and then head to Selcos to get This stuff them slab covered cavity slab 32 Best take a picture that actually they have it in stock, but they never know what we're on about so We're gonna have a picture But yeah, so that's the little update and I'll go help dad get the rest of this stripping and then we will Go get some more insulation There we go. What time we are now? It's gone very cold. I feel that it's going to snow It's 20% 10 So we're going for a break somewhere. We're going to break now because we've got to go and get another sheet of insulation for that That piece there That piece there That's how short And I worked out on the cycle later Never mind put a piece in the corner jam the piece into the corner. Don't want to make a bigger piece here. No, you're right So there you go Insulation is nearly done Then all we have to do then is get that on top and we waterproof and get completely covered It's pretty at the still off as well Maybe just pack the installation out along a bit I'm gonna nip off get the insulation and I'll probably get a few bits around a bit get this side loaded out at least Organizingly close Yeah, I'll go and get this and catch you when I come back. Happy Friday Friday the 8th of December 830 Yeah, happy Friday. I was just polished off his bacon butty I don't have a fry up, but it's near enough. I've got my coffee We're actually we're a school walk from the spa. We were that close So it's a bit dangerous spending money My money He's off to see near in 20 days. So we need to save up to get for his flight and everything Mind you be working when he's over there doing the stocktaker stay near shop with her There's somebody somebody's come in to do you need to get near to do the outro as a permanent thing Yeah So the plan for today is just rang the concrete company up See if they'll drop us some concrete off and they said yes, which is brilliant Not often you can get them last minute like that on Friday as well So he's put us down for our 12, but we're just sat here waiting for the Building spectre Branging mist as I said you really supposed to give him 24 hours notice But the way the weather's been we can't really plan that far ahead So what we need to do is get all the water out this at the visc green which we put on top We didn't feel much yesterday at the end because It was pouring down one. Yeah, we just need to get the visc green on top and get it covered So that the insulation wouldn't get wet. So yeah, we need to put that in properly Get the water out put it back in and then cut it and tape it around the door hole Which we always do so it fits properly and then hopefully by that time the inspector's been and in the meantime We can't actually do any brickwork yet because the weather's not that fit I mean we could but you don't know what's gonna happen and we need I'm waffling again, but if we start doing the brickwork, we can't tamper cross So we're better leaving the brickwork till the slab's in And he can't change his mind because he's left the chores at home. Oh, yeah Yeah, we aim last night we got back and took the give the took the there's a lining on the floor of the van at The backs that we took that out cleaned all the inside of the van all the floor and the liner because The van is going on auto-trader tomorrow. I'm hopefully it's gonna sell in two weeks because that's when Neil's new vans coming and oh, yeah, we've got a Crap load of bricks there. We need to get loaded out. So we can probably load about 800 bricks out ready to start So yeah, that's the plan I Start loading out Soon as the building inspectors being get this slab done Job and knock on the slab. So fingers crossed the old works and the concrete comes after wells It'd be nice to finish for two o'clock on a Friday I've said it now I've just jinxed it. I said hopefully we get finished for two. So that's it. I've jinxed the day now so Sorry, we didn't film much yesterday, but You've seen plenty of these anyway We'll see you around there in a bit. We've just got the okay from the inspector. Happy days. So we're going for concrete And I think I've already said this but we're gonna get the bricks loaded out Have a quick break and then dad's gonna go back and pick up the wet drive back And just like a few of the bits we might just need maybe some wellies There's nothing in the van because we were cleaning it last night So we just bring the basics and whenever you do that always forget something And in this case, we've got a wet drive back to get all But it's been giving me a okay So it's a nice job And I asked about the vertical damp and that will put the vertical damp in 50 million and then vertical damp at the back of the outside skin just to stop any damp tracking through So we're happy with that. I need to cut the massive big cavity out And Let's get there since breaking That our break dad set off So I'll get this last palm moved up and then I think I'm gonna start bail out a bit of water. So we've got a head start because the time is 10 past 11 roughly So we've got an hour and 20 minutes for dad to get back get that bailed out and get it cut into place in those corners, so Better get a move on. Thank you concrete company We appreciate you a Being patient with us for 50 minutes That's all the long it took in total. They were due at half 12 and they came at 20 to 12. So Yeah, that was a half way home getting the knife for the Yeah, so obviously we've gone overboard with it just to make sure we have enough anything else It gets gets dropped in the cavity now We're gonna have a quick dinner That's my cue so we'll see you after lunch for the tamping so I give you a little close-up Assembly of our temp So obviously we'll place it down on a flat level wall we bolt our pieces timber together and then there's our That's our time and when we're done, we just disassemble it and clean it easy to transport easy to use To win win there you go now after lunch we will be Tamping see you then looking nice Almost finished With the tamping part. Hmm Knock on wood. Yeah, so yeah It's looking very nice. Obviously we're gonna smooth that out give it a little a floating a level So this is the best way doing this Yeah Now we have it that's the second big dint of the job done second milestone getting the Slabbing So we'll be back here on a Wednesday So that gives it plenty of time to dry up whether they're gonna be terrible for these next few days So we're just gonna take the weekend and then I'm gonna Tuesday. I think we're doing a fence with Jason. So Maybe stay tuned for that one. We'll see But that is the bleh bleh that will be the end of this video Thank you all very much for watching if you enjoyed be sure to give a thumbs up and if you're new to the channel you want to see more hit subscribe and That way you'll know when we upload there's always a massive help and if you want to give any extra support to the channel for dad's hip fund There's a super. Thanks under the video or in the description. There's a link to dad's PayPal direct So not necessary, but really appreciate it. So thank you very much. This has been brickling with Stephen Alex with our With a whole slab ready and we will see you in the next one


Finding the right design inspirations for your design project is an essential part of the design process. Also this is a part of the process that I have a whole lot of fun doing. We all should be having fun in this stage because this is where we get to explore other professional designers' creativity while getting our own creative juices flowing. Now a very common place to find design inspirations would be something like Dribble, D-Hands, Awards.com, and Back in the Days, which is really just a few years ago, those were my go-to resources, but I've evolved the way I've found my design inspirations. One of the things that are very important to me when finding a design inspiration is I want to see a real-world use case. I'm building sites for clients. And so we want to find a design inspiration ideally if it's a live website or something that could be built into a live website. So what I want to do inside this video, I want to share you three other ways to find design inspirations and to help you on your creative journey. Design resource number one, that is building your own library of dope websites, websites that you love. Now I use a tool called RangeRof and I use a free version of it. I have the app on my phone, I have it on my iPad, it's on my Mac, it's with me everywhere I go. So anytime I see a dope website, a website, I really like, there's something done on it. I like, I save it and I categorize it and I start building up this library. And I've been doing this for about a year now and now my library of sites is huge. I got all kinds of categories going on and this is a great place to start because I have this library of live actual websites that there's styles that I like but I could see them live on the web so I could see how they could be applied to a real world case that I would use for a client project. Resource number two, this is going to be UI kits. I started utilizing these recently. Not only are they good for design inspirations but they're also good for when I want to use things like graphics and certain design elements inside of them. There are a lot of good platforms to find some really good quality UI kits. This is my go-to right here, it's UI8.net. It does cost, it's not that cheap, I'm going to be honest with you, but you're getting a lot of high quality designs and if you're doing a lot of design work, well you can get enough assets out of here that definitely makes the price worth it. Now there are other options as well like event elements where you could find some good stuff but you got to sift through a whole lot of rubbish to find the gems. Now how I would use this is I first would skip past all the mobile stuff. That is because well I'm building websites and that's what I'm looking for, I'm looking for UI kits that have desktop versions so I could use those. So we go through them and I can see okay we got something for really cool banners right over here, I can see an inspiration for a coffee shop and I will look for something based on the project that I'm on. Also I'm looking for the style that I am aiming for and then sometimes you could find some really good kits in here that have several different designs. Here is one that I have. Now this one came from UI8, I downloaded it, it had several different desktop layouts right here, it has 10 of them and this is a really good starting point. I could use this for my inspiration, I could see how the whole design will look, how it will flow, not only that I could use some assets right here like maybe I like this arrow, I could take this arrow, I could download the SVG and use it inside of a project. You know something like this, let's say we want to make an image with these graphics right over here, I could take these graphics, could change that image around and bam, now I got a really cool image graphic and then this gives me the inspiration and ideas to use for a project. Now everything that I'm doing here on Figma is a free version and if you don't use Figma and you're, this is just not your thing, you don't have to use Figma just to design, you could use it as a tool in many other areas as well. The thing though I do like a lot about using UI kits like this versus going to like say a place like Dribble is because I get to see the whole layout. I get to see the sizing, I get to see how the whole page will flow and look we're just using something like Dribble which is not bad by the way but I'm just getting screenshots of parts of a website so it's really helpful and then definitely this is a very, very great asset for pulling out graphics and using graphics for your websites. All right, resource number three and that is going to be Establish Designers Portfolios. This is something I've been using a lot lately and look, it takes more work but what you get out of it is so tremendously valuable. Let me show you what I mean. Let's take a look at Elementor Showcase that is showcasing the top websites. We could take a look and we could see which agencies and designers and freelancers are creating some really dope work. So I could go over here to Elementor websites for April 2022. And I could find some designs and styles that I like like right here I do dig this style and they do give credit to the design firm or the freelancer. Like for this one it's going to be solid digital. I could go over and check out their website and then from here what I'm going to do is I'm going to go to their portfolio. Now by doing this, I'm not just getting a bunch of mockups.  I'm getting real live projects. I'm getting stuff that, look it, this is a designer that went back and forth with a client. This is a designer that learned the client's problems and applied solutions, things like that. And I get a chance to see what it looks like and what they did. Let's say right here I want to see their website. And look it, going based off of the screenshots and taking a look at the real website, it always looks a bit different. Cuz now we get to see how this is in real life use. And this is cool right here. Like this is a decent website right here. I see some inspirations like with color. I like this orange with this like teal green right here. These things get the creative juices flowing. But here is where more of the value kicks in by going and using this approach of finding design inspirations. Not only are we able to see the website but we get to go through it and see the process behind it. Like you can see here they establish the pain points and they talk about diagnosing the pain points, applying the solutions and just the whole process behind getting to the end result. And any professional designer, now if you do look at professional designers and their portfolios, all of them are gonna be doing something very similar where they're gonna be talking about the process. They're gonna be showing how they came to that end result. Now, Elementor Sites of the Month is a great place to go. I've taken a look at many just awesome, awesome design firms there. And then we get to also see websites built in Elementor, which is also a huge plus. So we know that hey, this design isn't impossible to build or it's gonna be like crazy, super custom, anything like that. And then we can take it to another level as well. Like right here I pulled up this top 10 New York graphic design firms. Now I'm gonna skip right down here to Pentagram because this is a firm that I know of, they're globally famous. Like this is one of the top design firms inside the world. From here, we know they're working with some of the best designers inside the world. They're working with some huge brands that have massive budgets and a lot of time is going into it. We could also do a deep dive and see what are they working on. What projects have they completed and learn more about that and find some projects that they've done using it as our design inspirations. Now, platforms like Dribble and Behance, they're still great to go to. And I love awards.com, I love it. I'm always on it checking out stuff, getting inspired and learning more stuff about design. Just cuz I love design, I love web design with a passion. But it does help to have some real world cases, seeing actual websites. That really does help out, especially when we are trying to get inspiration for projects for clients. We want to have something more realistic but still get inspired and have that as our guidance. Now, I do have a tip right here, a bonus tip when it comes to using design inspirations and this is really, really important. That is looking for inspirations and being way too focused in a specific industry. For example, let's say your client is a dentist, all right? They got a dental practice and they want to build a website. You don't have to limit yourself to just looking at other dental websites for your inspiration. The thing is, there are some industries where they just all have bad websites.  And in fact, what it really looked like was everybody was using their bad sites and their competitors' bad websites for their design direction and what they were doing. And what that did was it kept everything, it limited the creativity and put everything inside this box and didn't really allow for outside ideas to come in. So, if you do have an industry that you are working with for your client or for yourself, feel free to look outside of that industry for your design direction. It does not have to look like your competitors, especially if all your competitors have terrible websites. All right, I hope this helps out and if you have a passion for design like I do, then make sure to definitely subscribe, like and share. Do all that good YouTube stuff because that's what we're doing here. We're geeking out on design, elevating our design skills and I'm really, really grateful that you have watched. And I'll be back again soon. All right, thank you.


Oh, there's Will, all right, Will, how are you? Yeah, great, thanks, Tim. Thanks for having me into this session, just looking at what's going on now. Well, across all markets, obviously being led here by crypto, but yeah, talk to me about what you're seeing and what does this mean? I mean, I've got some great comments to add about Elon Musk, but let me, you go first. Yeah, so yeah, let's do a quick refresher here. So this is a range that I've been tracking on Bitcoin for quite a while now. And, you know, we've been tracking a bear flag that broke down pretty much here at this point that I was looking at, you know, trade coming back to the bottom of the range, 46069 is the bottom of the range. And you can see we had a nice standoff from that area there on, let's see, I actually don't have my dates available to me here. Let's see, what was it? Oh, this is terrible. A couple of days ago anyway, and so really the days don't matter because we now crushed down to 31300 as key support coming in just back at this area here. But for me, if we can't hold this area on support, the next stop down is that 20,000 hole handle. The last Bitcoin video we did, do you remember back in November, was when we went above 20,000. And the topic of that discussion was, this time it's different. This time it's different because now you've got people like me, old dogs like me interested in Bitcoin, institutional investors interested in Bitcoin, the industry interested. And that's why we went 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, you know, it was different this time. My big feeling though is this, I've had so many people talk to me about their Ethereum positions, about their Bitcoin positions, and I'm not an expert in crypto, but I am an expert in markets, and I am an expert in psychology. And learning how to manage yourself in volatility is such a big part of this. As you know, to enjoying some of the training, where like, if you're in a great position and be in multiple contracts, scale out of it, and this is exactly the reason why. I'm worried that there's a lot of young people out there who have followed Elon Musk, hung on his every single word, who have perhaps leveraged themselves more than they should have done, and already going through the stresses of being in lockdown. I don't know, I think it's quite an irresponsible thing for the world's richest man to have done, to have an army of young people following his investment ideas, and then to turn around and drop it. I actually think he's got some responsibility on his hands here. I don't know if you've got any views on that, but in my opinion, when you see, we see we're doing a lot for young people's mental health at Amplify, and I think there's some responsibility here, I really do. I'd agree with you, I think. But at the same time, you do need a certain maturity and a clarity of mind when you're trading. And I think if you're 17 or 18, though, you don't have that, you just don't have it. If you're seven, you don't have it. No, you're not going to have it. And I think Elon is kind of playing with a little more fire than he knows these past couple of weeks. This was fine when we had the 420 tweets and SEC findings, all this sort of stuff. But, you know, it's basically we're saying, I'm saying this isn't cool, man. Yeah, I think there's a lot of people out there who, for example, would have thought, I don't need to follow that career. I don't need to do this. I can actually just trade crypto. And if they've been burnt on this, it's going to be very hard for them to come back from because, you know, a starting salary of $3,000 a month. Of course, I'll be thinking I can do that in one trade back then. So anyway, that's a bigger conversation. Let's focus on the volatility here because another question I want to ask you is obviously, yeah, Coinbase at the open, Josh. Oh, Coinbase at the open. Interesting. Well, Ethereum, I mean, members of my family. I got Tim, I got a message at the end of last week by members of my family saying, oh, look, I've never traded before. Never done anything like this. But about a year ago, I bought some Ethereum and it's now done this. What do you recommend I do? And of course, my advice was take some of it off, leave some of it on and breathe easy. Just be in a position where it doesn't matter to you, where if it continues to go up to $100,000, that's great. If it doesn't, that's great to just hedge your emotional bets. And I don't know if they did take that advice, unfortunately. But look. So on that note, a lot of the people holding these coins are swing trading, basically, but to use our terminology, they're swing trading these things. To the moon is the big phrase. Everyone's using all the time now. But really, I know 90% of people trading these coins are literally sitting there right now and there's only one thing that they're saying to themselves by the dip. Yeah. I know there's that. There's also a large group though that just hold on forever, right? And so those guys, I think are both okay. It's the group, I think, and I think it's a big group. It's the group, I think, that have stepped into these markets in the last six months or so, who have bought recently, who have followed the social media euphoria about everything coin-based and are now finding out for themselves, brutally, how important money management is. I think, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, I think this is one of the best dip buys I've ever seen. Ethereum down 50%. Just by chance of a Binance funding, me putting further funding into my Binance account, just by chance, I didn't buy this dip here on Ethereum. Yeah. And I'm pretty happy I didn't, but that issue is still ongoing, and now I'm not able to get to drive it or deploy it. Obviously, we can't see the dates at the bottom of your chart, but where does that low correspond to bait wines when they were on sweet? If I just do this. The Bitcoin or Ethereum? Ethereum, though. Ethereum. Where is that blue line? Where is it touched? Yeah, where is it? This is the high of the 10th of January. Okay. Okay, yeah. Nice little pullback on the 28th of Feb, and then I'm using a Feb extension tool from a swing low to swing high on the 13th of May, and then the pullback on the 24th of May. Do you wanna know something worrying? Look at this pattern. Look at this pattern from January, and I'm gonna sort of just put something out there for the moment. It doesn't actually, just talking about, you know a lot of what I do to him is about behavioral finance, it's about pattern recognition, and patterns repeat themselves, people repeat themselves over time. It's not actually too dissimilar to what's happened to US stocks, right? This pattern, especially the explosion in April, higher. Does that look that different to the S&P? We can do that. Can you have a look at the spools on the daily? Yeah, have a look at that, especially with the explosion higher in the spools, and it's just interesting when you get these patterns, and obviously now, yeah, have a look. So actually it's a bit more of a sustain. From here. Right, do you see? So we've got- From this sort of pullback. Right, right, we've got rally, rally, rally, rally, but then an explosion in April, right? There, that's what we saw in Ethereum as well, obviously to a different degree, but it just, and we're right back on that moving average here in the S&P. It's very interesting. I find it interesting how patterns correlate, how patterns can repeat themselves. I mean, you know, I've got a view here that, look, we've got at least test 4,000 in the S&P, and we're still in a bull market in my opinion, and for sure that's all set, but, yeah. Which is the dip to buy? Which is the dip to buy, though? Well, I think 4,000 you'll see. I think 4,000 you'll see some action, but going back to your previous high there, sort of 39.60 and 39.20, that's also interesting. I mean, we last had this conversation. Can't quite see the dates on your chart, but do you remember when we were talking about this earlier on, and we did dip? Yeah. Around 4,200, we found resistance, and then we just had a couple higher. So Joshua in the room is saying, he's looking at buying 4,000. Yeah, around the start level. I think you have to be careful there, Joshua. We might just go a bit to 39.60, as you can see. So, sorry, go ahead, Tim. In fairness to Will, he did, I think at this point, say we will not see 42s again for a while. And I think I was front running, I think, and around this time saying we'd seen the high. Actually, did I? I think we've seen the high somewhere around here. Just the markets changed. There's just a change in that. Well, after you said that we saw the high, the issue was, is after you said we saw the high, we then had the results out of Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and they were all phenomenal. And that's why you had those two green candles. Can you see after that call? But actually, what I really like about this from a behavioral perspective was, that's as good as it ever was gonna get, right? You've had all of the money, all of the ambition about low interest rates forever. There's very little sugar left in the future jar that hasn't been priced in at that point. But so I think your call was very correct. It was just those technology results, just gave it two green candles. But then now it's happening. And I really like the way the recent rally higher tested went towards these sort of 4,200. Of 4,180 it was also a big, big level as well. Yeah. But look, you can see by the vertical height of these candles, volatility's back, markets are moving again, not only in crypto, but across the board, right, currencies, commodities, things are beginning to move. What I wanna encourage everybody listening to, listening to this is try and manage yourself when markets start moving. Because what can be, and I've seen this so many times, is that when things are relatively stable, when markets sort of grinding and price action is limited, you can trade really well for an amount of time. And that's great. But as soon as volatility comes, what often happens is candidates can very quickly get turned around and then turned around again and lose control over what they're doing. Well, trade is not kind of, sorry. So just be aware of that, right? You don't have to be involved in this. You need to be aware of why you're doing what you're doing.  And it's just that if you've got any leverage, that's gonna be impossible to hold. What do you think about this on Ethereum, by the way, at resistance at around the 26th level? Just looking at your chart there. Is that something that's interesting for you? I think all I could do is think about buying this thing right now. Or like, I'm not leveraged in any way on any of these assets. So it's quite comfortable for me to be able to say that. But I'm not trying to day trade them either. I mean, I would love to have bought this dip, but I haven't been able to, as I just haven't had luck with my Binance account over the last couple of days, getting higher tier approvals. But yeah, I mean, I think there's a rubber band effect here. Every time I've seen aggressive selling, I mean, this is ultra aggressive selling and liquidation, but anytime I've seen pretty decent volatility selling in these markets, they come back with a pure vengeance, like in the next session. I've seen it every time. You get like 10% down on a Friday, might go quiet Saturday, Sunday, up 17%, 20%, 50%. And I just think there's gonna be, there's gonna have been a lot of limit orders to buy down there. I mean, I'm not the only person who had that level in Bitcoin, to be honest. I'll show you Bitcoin again on your charts. Yeah, I just thought I'm gonna put this down here for a sec. There we go, let's get that down there on Bitcoin.  It's pretty fantastic. Now, if we end up closing below, one minute to US session now, but if we end up closing this day below here, put your limit orders in, long 20,000 and then take it off 100,000. As I said, 20,000, that initial break above 20,000 was when we last did a session on crypto, obviously not being from a crypto background, but you can't ignore these huge, huge levels. And I think 20,000 is interesting. I mean, look, it's wild to think that only last summer, where were we? 6,000? November. No, but early last summer, so going back to June, July, do you remember when we were actually selling off down to 6,000 or so? Oh, well, May. Maybe May, yeah. Crash. And then a little bit of a crash in, yeah, sorry, further on in May, or sorry, March and then May. Yeah. And then, yeah, bit of a sell down in September, but summer was actually pretty decent in July for a switch to a logarithmic chart on this. Well, of course, I mean, the summer after the fact that, you know, the Fed talks about their monetary zing and everyone then thinking about, obviously is crypto the new gold and actually forget gold, right? The action's been here. Okay, listen, do you have Coinbase up, by the way? So the US market is just opening now. Yeah, that's interesting to see what happens to the Coinbase on the US open. Wow. And just on this US open, by the way, the S&P is getting hammered. The NASDAQ's down nearly 2%, oil's down 3%. VIX is through the roof. You still have some VIX on? You know, I've got the VIX at the moment. I don't, he's just gloating everybody. He's just gloating. Well, I've been long the VIX since we had that session and I do genuinely put back these kind of discussions. Bar and gold now, 25s. Yeah. Sorry, I'm getting excited about Bar and gold. I understand. I don't want to have a very long market. Show me Coinbase. Coinbase on the one minute chart. Here you go. It's not pretty. It's down 11% that market right now. This is the one minute. So we've just opened here on this volatility candle. This spiky candle you can see. Yeah, but that's interesting. I mean, it's not. Sorry, this is down 11% on the close of the prior session. But straight away on the cash open there, it does look interesting, doesn't it? Keep an eye on that green candle on Coinbase. Would you use that as a leading indicator for Bitcoin or Ethereum, for example? Like if Coinbase starts rallying off these lows, do you know what I mean? Would you now think, okay, that's... No, I don't think so. Well, that would be my style. No, I mean, I'd be looking at those products to trade on their own merits. I wouldn't create a location between Coinbase, underlying stock value and a cryptocurrency. Yeah, I think it's probably... I see where you're going with that. I'm just looking for, yeah, sentiment indicators basically. Yeah, I mean, I get... Look, it's all in the one basket, really. If you were to have an ETF, it would all be in there, right? But I mean, I just have to trade each product as they present themselves to me in order to get a decent trade location. Ethereum, this is well supported now. It's only down 26% from the 50 it was. Yeah, I mean, since we've been talking, that bounce has been phenomenal. Yeah, that bounce. I still think Doge is going to pull down a little more. I don't think by judging looking at the other pairs, or, well, yeah, these other pairs, I don't think we're done on the downside just yet. So I still feel comfortable buying the 31s. Talk to me a bit more about that. So we're not done on the downside on this. Where do you see us going at the moment then? Yeah, so Cardano is another biggie. These are daily bars here. I think we could... Well, I don't know. Basically, what I'm seeing is, I think we've broken back into this range. I'm not seeing a fast reaction from any of these other coins. I'd like to see a lot of them trade to the bottom of the range get picked up again. And John in the room is talking about IOTA. Do you know about IOTA? Have you got that up? I don't trade IOTA, unfortunately. There are multiple altcoins, but I can't try them all. Of course. And then they're saying, what's the prediction? How much further will the NASDAQ go, for example? Well, there's a question. I think one thing to understand about US stocks is it's incredibly hard to be bearish US equities. Now, don't worry, I've tried. I've tried to bearish US equities for some time. Really, really difficult. So could the NASDAQ now bounce? You can see Tim's trend line. That's your NASDAQ, isn't it? Middle, left? Yeah, we talked about this in the free US video. Yeah, so look at that trend line. We've got this up for us. Yeah, so we got this up for us. I like this range. I'm probably going to kill this range in NASDAQ because it's not that clean. So I've got a big fib extension level here, but really Reed's killed it with this trend today. Lovely action here all for that really clear buy point. So I think what we have seen for the last nine, 10 months is Euro session, these equities have screened to the upside. It comes to the open on the US session. It comes off a little bit. And now we're seeing the inverse of that where in the Euro session, we're seeing downside on equities. And then we're seeing the retracement over the US session. And we were talking about this recently when I was chatting with Linda Raschke as well. She was saying, that's obvious about when we were on the way up. And so now we've seen this turn or we've got to see the inverse and this is what we have, you know. That's interesting. If we break below the trend line here in the NASDAQ though, what's next? I'm turning off my screens and going for a beer. I think all hell is kind of on the break of this trend. We literally touched it to the tick just now. That's, yeah, yeah, that's Reed. He's killing it. Yeah, well done, Reed. And by the way, for everyone listening, if you're not part of the Amplify Live community, you can have free access. Go on to amplifylive.com, check it out, see what you can get. There is a huge amount there all available for free. And we'd be happy to have you. Yeah, just looking at the shorter term shot of your NASDAQ, we're approaching S2 now. Can you see middle left? Yeah. And a really strong bounce there, actually. Really strong bounce. Yeah. I think we're entering the retracement phase of the equities picture. Just have another little gander around these other U.S. equities. The spooz doesn't really convince me that this is going to be below 40, 21s is what I've been looking at for a low today. Down. I mean, it's gonna, That's the low that you were calling when we were talking a few weeks ago, you know.  It does feel to me the spooz are heavy. I think they're very understandable to have a bit of a bounce now on the U.S. cash market open. I for one, I'm not at the moment jumping in long U.S. equities, right? Obviously I've still got the VIXs on, but I don't think now's the time. I still think we'll be moving higher, but not for now. Let's have a look at gold. Will DeLucey written or low brush. Yeah, well, obviously. Got a little bit of that right now. Obviously it does. 18, 1874 for gold. It's interesting. I think it's cheap. I think it's cheap. Right now. It's been such a wild bird. So as you, I've had Barrick for a long time now, I scaled out a bit when we were talking last on the mic together. I still have enough that I'm very interested in it. But yeah, I mean, I think that the issue with gold is it's just such a hard one to grasp, right? I mean, because very often when you think it's a big risk off event, actually gold gets hammered just like everything else does. Keep an eye on the Dow, by the way. New lows since the cash market open. That's what's dragging the E-mini S&P low as well. Now oil, so oil of course. So also keep an eye on the NASDAQ. These things are all correlated, right? That was gold moving higher, risk off, Dow just taking a tick lower, dragging on the S&P. What's your bottom chart there, oil? Yeah, oil below S1, all the way down at $63. So the big level to watch, the big level to watch here is the NASDAQ. That trend line. Reed, a senior still listening. Thanks very much for sharing that technical analysis with Tim this morning. Yeah, right on 12,960 on the NASDAQ. Let's have a look at the coins. And then Naran's talking in the room saying, well, listen, one of the things about the Bitcoin crash is Beijing on Tuesday banned financial institutions and payment companies from the fighting services. So that's a good reminder of the situation. And I think that on top of what happened with Tesla, I just wait. Also, this is obviously the whole page of crypto. XRP is looking. I mean, that's a very bearish red candle there by XRP. I'm not gonna talk about that too much. I'm assuming you're still long. So I'm not gonna talk too much about this. I'm not. But I do have a buy point here issued at this level here. Oh, you've got a limit over the ready to go there. Yeah, yeah. So I'm not too worried about XRP. I think it needs a bit of time. And I haven't really gone in with that much weight on it. So it's my lowest weighted coin. That's the thing. It's the second lowest. I think a lot of people forget that there's an inverse relationship between volatility and leverage. And it's dead simple, but so many people get it wrong all of the time. The more volatile an asset that you're trading, the less size, the less leverage, the less exposure you need to it. Super simple, right? If you're trading, for example, S&P futures and you've got $20,000 in S&P futures, you're not taking the same risk if you've got $20,000 in Ethereum. It's a very, very different type of trade. It's a very different type of investment. So if you know that an asset is particularly volatile, you'll have every nerve and sinew in your body is telling you, oh, if only I put 100% of my, that I could on that, because it's gone up 30% today. So if I had 100% of everything in that, that would have worked out. Well, it's gone up 30% because it tends to move a lot more. So you need to, if you've got different interests and different types of asset, you need to know how to spread yourself across based on how volatile something is. And this is especially true if you're looking at coins, for example, compared to more traditional investments. It's great that GameStop can be up 400% in a day, but you don't wanna put your life savings on it, right? So to give you an example of that at work, like I've borrowed Bitcoin, I'm in all of the coins that you're looking at on the screen. And then that net effect is, I'm down 26% that market on my portfolio. And that net, I'm up overall 20. So, I'm reducing the volatility. It's like the Ray Dalio thing is that if you want lower volatility, you spread across more products. Now, he suggests that the obvious thing is that you spread across uncorrelated products, whereas I'm in this portfolio, it has to be correlated, right? It's a crypto portfolio, but I'm not suffering down 50% because I'm all in Bitcoin. I'm not suffering down or 30%. I'm not suffering down 50% because of my Ethereum's down 50%. And I'm not doing it on leverage. So, yeah. Look, it's the same with me on the other side, right? I mean, the VIX is up today or like the wisdom tree two times VIX is up now, what, 30%, 36%? Does that mean I'm up 36% today? No, it does not, right? Probably means actually net net, given the grand scheme of things today, it's about flats, actually. But that's because it's a widely volatile product. So you gotta be able to size yourself differently. I think for people really trying to do this over the long term, and we used to do this a lot, and this is how I started trading when I was trading government bonds. The bonds that were more liquid that had, well, sorry, I should say, the bonds that had higher volatility, so the bund, for example, compared to the bonds that had a greater market depth or liquidity such as the shats, I would trade much larger size in those bonds that didn't move very much because that would equate, so 10,000 shats would equate to 2,000 bonds because of how they moved. So when you're looking at what to invest in, what to be involved in, I think it's really important for you to take into account how volatile is this asset that I'm trading? And therefore, how much exposure do I actually want to this? Yes, I think it might go to the moon, but you know that you should understand that the trajectory there is wiki and it's nasty, and if you've got leverage, you can't even be involved, forget about it. And it's an important point to remind, and that goes, I don't know if you saw it in my post or something on LinkedIn today about FOMO, I did a good video on FOMO. Actually, I'll share it in the room, just because I think that so many people might be, especially on social media, everybody's talking about trading all of the time that they've made 1,000% or whatever it is. And I think it can entice other people into trading when it's not right for them to do so. So I've just shared that actually, for anyone looking at this on YouTube, the FOMO video link is in there. Yeah, just try and understand, if something is more volatile, you don't need to give it more size. Need less size, absolutely. Yeah. So you're being asked now, why is the NASDAQ and the likes down? What's causing this? Caz, so Caz, thanks very much for your question and Tim, what would be your answer to that? Yeah, so you've got to understand that the NASDAQ is comprised of the top 30 technology companies in the US, and so it's a weighted index. So for you to own a whole share of the NASDAQ, you own a percentile weighted size of each of those companies. And so when each one of those companies, let's say the top weighting will be Apple, when Apple has a bad day or a bad start to the day and it's down maybe 1%, even 1% on the open, that's gonna, it's such a big weighted component of the NASDAQ that it's gonna pull that indices down a little bit. And then you have this echo chamber effect in that when you have sector reliance as well. So if Apple's down, Microsoft is gonna be down, but not as much and not as hard. Say there's a downside catalyst for Apple, but not for Microsoft. Well, Microsoft is gonna kind of get pulled down a little bit with it. So then you have that echo effect that Apple's down 1%, then Microsoft might be down 0.5%. And so then you get these two top weighted companies in the NASDAQ are dragging the indices down. And then if you have one smaller weighted company, but it's down like 12 or 15 or 20%, then that can kind of be a downside catalyst that can infect the rest of that sector. Tim, I've also got another way, I've got another way of answering that though, I think, because yeah, that's obviously why the index is down because the components are down, but almost it's like, why is it? Why are stocks moving lower now in general? And for me, I think you've got to think about some of the retail money that's supporting the technology stocks. So much like you say, Tim, so like Tesla or Apple or a lot of people getting hurt at the moment in what's going on with the coins, do you think they're also then now needing to liquidate some of their technology positions, Tim, in order to free up some margin? Yeah, absolutely, I think so. For me, I try not to thread together too many links in the chain because I can kind of, for me, it can kind of allow me then to easily get married into a thesis and a big concept that just might not be true. So I tend not to tie too many wagons together there, but yeah, absolutely. And also we were talking about this in the room earlier, it also gets you into a space where you're kind of constantly asking, well, why is this happening? Why is that happening? Other than focusing on, well, this is just happening. So you're either surfing that wave or you're gonna wait for the next one.  And speaking of risk off then, so Max Mora is saying about, is it the inflation story? And I think, look, Max on a bigger general picture, ever since the US CPI came out, obviously, and then we had UK inflation data this morning. Yeah, I mean, people have been talking about it, it's out there, it's a fear that's out there in the markets, but is that what's driving crypto? Probably not, I've probably said quite the opposite. That's actually very often coins as if you like the new gold are actually something to invest in if you think there would be inflation. But that inflation story is there. And I think if you want to understand how markets move, one of the reasons why Tim's saying, well, don't try and have a theory and then think it's right, is there's so many different moving parts. There's so many different moving parts as to why an asset moves. But what's starting to happen and one of the reasons why Tim and I called the top just a couple of weeks ago in the S&P and is it slight shift in how those moving parts are then painting a picture, if that makes sense, right? It's not one thing, it's not one thing, it's not one thing, it's not one thing. It's how everything comes together into a general story and that story gives a feeling. But look, things are pushing high. You've got some US dollar weakness by the look of the euro there, the top left him. So don't tell me the central bank. Oh, look at gold. Let's see how. Don't tell me the central. Well, we've looked at this like yesterday in the pre-US, the past week really, we've been looking at this weaker dollar, higher euro and gold on the tear to the upside, 2,000 fermions sites. So this is not news to those who are in the room. I mean, we've carefully been looking at this for a long time. This bid on gold is no surprise to us. Can you check your news? Why is that? Because I mean, cable's going up as high as that. It's been some dollar weakness news at all. Not sure, just keep going on. Biden talking and that in Yahoo, expecting de-escalation of violence. Israeli military shelling targets in Lebanon. Okay, so this is, wow, right? So they're really shelling Lebanon now. I know they fired a couple of rockets in there. So this is sort of, this is a global war level event now. So this is really kicking off. China reports outbreak of H5N8 bird flu with wild birds in Tibet. Wow. All right, steady on. So listen, Reed's trend line there on the NASDAQ still working super well, right? Can you see? 12 to 96. So Reed, I don't know if you're in the room, but well done, phenomenal, phenomenal effort. Oil, you've got $63 the handle highlighted. But yeah, I mean, the dollar is really taking here. And that, I saw you here. Yeah, taking stocks higher. I think the NASDAQ's gonna come out and drag the S&P higher here. There's your Bitcoin taking the bid off 31 for 27s. I mean, a pretty obvious trade there, Rudy. I don't know, 20,000. I mean, I think we could have it. I think a little bit of the beta and gold is this Israel bombing Lebanon situation here as well as inflation readings as well as crypto Salaf. I don't buy the Lebanon story here. I just think this is, everyone trying to reposition themselves here, perhaps for as you flagged just over a week ago, the S&P not seeing the 4,200 again. And I think once you sort of settle with that idea, you need to reposition slightly. I think the coin story is something different. I think that's, we've had a huge rally and with everything going on Elon, I think, yeah, look at gold, that is interesting. I know you've got your options. 11 days left. 11 days to the expiry for your options. Good luck. I love 41% on the 30 calls right now. So another 18% on the 26s. And then I'm actually holding a, it's been saved by the skin of your teeth. By the skin of your teeth on that one. And I'm happy. Will DeLucy. You're just denying the perfection of the timing. That's all. Well, listen, that's a good thing about options, generally though, with timing, right? I mean, I was trying to go short Airbnb a number of times when we're around the 20 mark or 200 mark. So I just couldn't do it. Well, you know, just couldn't do it. But actually, I mean, I think options are the way forward with that type of plane. Listen, I'm gonna have to go now. I'm making a move to, of course, another Skype meeting. But yeah, listen, everybody's been great. I've enjoyed being involved. I've enjoyed jumping on and talking about this recent market volatility. I've shared that video link about manage your phone for anyone that's listening in the room. So please do check it out. And yeah, just hold on to your horses, breathe, and before you act, make sure you know why you're doing it. That's it. Thanks very much. Thanks, Morbicks. Cheers. See you later. All right, thanks, Will, for joining in. That was a good session and really phenomenal moves in these markets just to recap, you know, we've seen this massive dancehall volatility and crypto across the space here. We can only really track so many coins, but I mean, this selection that you're looking at here are pretty decent selection for us to look at. I think we may have a little bit more downside. I haven't seen that level of volatility in Bitcoin in quite some time. So just huge moves. At the same time, we've come into this US session. We've seen really here is goals, you know, the risk off product and the risk on product, spools pressing down 1.2% down on the day, gold up 0.92% on the day. I don't think gold is done here at all, at all. And really for me, probably going to hit some turbulence coming into some of these higher prices here, 1916 spot seven on golds would be a further upside target with no resistance here at all, no resistance. Last time we fell down through these prices was on the 8th of January, of course, after a failed breakout attempt here on this downtrend. And, you know, we were looking at this low in the room that we got on the structure, 31st of March, April, May this year. And it's just really hasn't looked back to give you an idea of what we do trading futures to some of you on YouTube, you know, you're kind of stop here, getting along here and then swing hold if you are of the swing trader position or disposition, you're kind of looking at $20,170 per contract, single contract traded. That's a 12 to one on, well, that's 157 ticks of risk. Probably like to firm that sort of risk up to really being something more like 50 ticks on the swing.  So really awesome trade to be had here. These type of trades on gold, they don't come along every day at all, but you know, even if you don't take the swing, at least you can avail of that trend on the intraday just to kind of recap what else we're seeing across these markets is, yeah, NASDAQ continuing to stand up over that trend. Gold or sorry, oil pressing down on 6301s on the lows here. I think it's coming into a pretty decent area of support to be honest, might actually hold off for a little while on oil. I think if we got back to like say 60 bucks, 59s, I'd wanna be a buyer for sure, for sure with this escalating situation in Israel now, shelling in Lebanon as well, that could easily spread throughout the Middle East. We could get Saudi involved, perhaps, you know, Iran and Iraq get involved. You know, you might wanna be thinking about getting holding longs from suitable positions in WTI. And the Euro, yeah, it's not news that we're headed for one spot 22, 720s on the high. Big shout out to the guys in Texas, Cal, Ivan, what's up, hope you're doing well. Friends of mine trading crypto out there. Jeremy, Jeremy should be back at work. You should not be trading. Yeah, some good stuff. Cool, so any other questions on YouTube? Let's see. Cal's saying it doesn't buy the China news. There's always a kind of ban, yeah. And that's three times a year for the last three years with India, yeah, yeah, you know, we saw this happen in, I think it was Nigeria tried to ban cryptocurrencies not long ago, about a month or two ago. And they reversed that decision within about two weeks because they realized it wasn't actually gonna be possible for them to do that. John Davenport, Lebanon will arrest them soon to avoid this. Will, yeah, okay. Our rockets fired from Syria a few days ago. Yeah, militias, it's a tricky situation. Wow, yeah, it's a pretty gruesome picture out there. Great, well listen, gonna let this feed run for about 15 more minutes. Just monitoring, just keeping a close eye here on the crypto space because I'm not wholly convinced that we've seen the bottom there. It has been a really fantastic sell-off in Ethereum here. I just don't think we're gonna see those prices again to be honest on Ethereum. On Bitcoin, I think it's paddling a different canoe at this time. I think NASDAQ has a lot of potential to snap up here at this point. I'm not gonna be swinging a futures long for beyond the close up today on this though. I think generally we are now commencing quite an aggressive downtrend on NASDAQ. So I'm just sort of scalping off of this trend here for now. I can definitely notice there is a slight sluggishness to the Binance data that I'm getting here. For me, I think these crypto coins after today's volatility, yeah, if Bitcoin can hold this level, the 31, was it 31, 427s? I think these cryptos are gonna come back with an almighty vengeance on the bid. This weekend, we might not see any aggressiveness on the bid tomorrow or all the way to Friday, but you're gonna see an aggressive amount of people scaling into what are attractive prices on these coins and prices that haven't been available for at least a month, at least a month on most of the coins that we're looking at here. So I mean, Bitcoin, we haven't seen these lows since January, so yeah, I mean, buying a 35, selling a 70s, sounds like making 100% of your money to me. So Ray's saying, is the market turning here by the rumor, sell the fact, by the reopening and then selling into the record of inflation? Yeah, actually, pretty much. I mean, I think that's been happening by the rumor, as in by the reopening sell, the fact of the reopening, I think that selling of the reopening started really here back on the 10th of this month, May. And actually, I think the seller started to get to work back here when I was looking at this, back when was that, that was the 30th of April. So, interesting times, interesting times. I think now we're just gonna print lower on these equities now trading into the 200 EMA, for example, on the Spuse, the S&P 500, I think that's a good buy. I think that's a really good area to get along the 200 EMA. And it'll be really interesting to see how we bounce from that general area, or do we kind of sit, come down here and just kind of trade sideways. And if we do trade sideways for one or two days, that's not gonna be pretty for these US equities, it's gonna be indicative of further downside, to be honest. So, yeah, WTI not holding up in the 63s area, probably 62 spot 74 is that market. Yeah, that bid being a little bit crushed down on NASDAQ now, equities moving lower, oil moving higher of day is 1890 spot eight, that's high of day. Okay, I think we'll leave it there for today.
