Time here for more systems. And this is a Synology Rackstation RS 3621XS Plus and it is outfitted with 12 SATA 5200-480G SSDs in array here and they're configured in RAID F1 And I also have a Synology 25 gig network card installed on this now. This system is really nice We've been testing it for several weeks. We've had no issues with it all it works as expected matter of fact It works really surprisingly well, and I've got benchmarks that I did and I'll leave those linked down below I also did a test on NFS versus Ice Guzzy benchmarks with the RAID F1 RAID 6 and RAID 10 So a couple different configurations on here So I won't be diving much into the benchmarks in this particular video because I have them in the other video where well I link to them so you can dive through and really look at all the details of different performance metrics But this was provided to me by Synology as a demo unit that I don't get to keep So this is completely my own thoughts. This is not sponsored by Synology I do have a content ethics policy of how we create these videos It's on my website and of course it'll be linked down in the description like it always is with my videos Easy enough to find before we dive into the details of this if you'd like to learn more about me my company Head over to Lawrence systems comm if you like to hire sure a project There's a hires button right at the top which does include Synology consulting if you like to support this channel in other Wages affiliate links down below to get you deals and discounts on products and services We talk about on this channel. Let's jump right to the technical specs We have an Intel Xeon D 1541 8 gigs of DDR for memory and for memory slots We will definitely have to address this though Please select memory modules for optimum compatibility please like Synology memory modules specifically is what it says there I bring it up because I know some people think it's just a cash grab by these companies to force you into using their Specific or proprietary memory. It's not that it's specific or proprietary. It has been tested and known compatible This is one of those things when you buy enterprise equipment you spec it out with the company you're buying it from and you want to have the least amount of problems and Synology has tested it with their memory therefore they know it's one less thing to troubleshoot is whether or not the memory You put in has some compatibility that causes the crashing that you may be experiencing on an application It's just one less thing to troubleshoot So they do push for their memory modules to be used. So just one of those thoughts on that I don't think as much as the cash grab as it is a support headache grab I mean you as an IT search writer if you're one of those people watching this you're going Yeah, I try to get everything spec'd exactly right. So I do not troubleshooting any of those problems There's enough other things to troubleshoot. I get it where they're coming from on that It has 12 drive base expandable up to 36 with their Expansion units two and a half inch or three and a half inch hard drives This is one of those spots though that you'll need more memory if you're doing one petabyte of storage You will need a 64 gig of memory if you're doing 200 terabytes 32 gig of memory is required and 108 terabytes Well, I guess you can get away with that if you're running only eight gigs My guess is the application should be running such as active backup or any of the other Synology surveillance applications You're probably gonna run in more memory needs on those applications as well Not just if you're putting a lot of storage in versus storage is hot swappable And we'll talk about the drives really quick here. This is kind of a pain in the butt works best with Synology drives I really get that Synology wants to use their drives one for predictable performance to so there's a warranty on them That's five-year warranty and three so if there's a firmware change to the drive It can be pushed through the Synology software. All those are really solid reasons I just wish it was a checkbox that says I'm an adult and I'm going to put in a different drive And I don't want the error message that says this this storage pool contains one or more unverified drives That's the annoying message. You'll get if you don't use the Synology drives. They have an explainer on it They link to a help article. I get it and usually if I'm selling something like this I'm gonna buy the Synology drives with it I just wish there was an option to use the non-Synology drives as well. It is a little annoyance I did find with this system. Ultimately, it's up to you whether or not you think that's a deal breaker with it But hey, those are my thoughts on it now. Let's talk about the back of the case here We do have four RJ45 one gig LAN ports with link aggregation and failover support and two 10 gig LAN ports with link aggregation and failover support. Yes, one gig ports are still relevant today Why? Because despite the myths that's propagated on the internet 4k and 8k cameras It takes quite a few of them to even saturate a one gig port So this is ideal if you're setting it up for surveillance station And you want to have a few different ports dedicated to different networks that are dedicated to cameras without having to split it off as a VLAN on your 10 gig network I think it's still pretty rational use case to have those four on there But for those you that need the performance of 10 gig. Yep, it's there It's built in as I said in the beginning though I opted for 25 gig performance and so I put a 25 gig card in the system now This system does have dual power supply units. They are hot swappable and the hot swappable is really easy on these I see that because lots of companies have about how difficult is it to slide them out and slide them in The fit and finish is really nice. It didn't feel I don't know like I was gonna break something Taking them in and out or happen to slide them in where some of them you have to really jam The power supply back in to get it to work. No problem. Slid out really smooth feels really well machined Now one of the other things about this it has hot swappable fans You can just pop the fans in and out with the kind of weird mid-level case removal But I like this this makes it really easy if I need to change out a fan Easy to slide this in and out as long as you have enough space above to get this open or on proper rails to slide this out You know, it doesn't require any downtime to swap the fans Now when you're taking a look inside the machine and a look inside the chassis here It's really clean really well made but there is one thing missing It does not have any native built-in M2 slots But that can be facilitated by getting an M2d20 adding card easy enough to put that in there and add them I kind of wish it was built in the board But hey, I guess we can't have everything But we do have a 25 gig card from Synology that I did add on here on the board overall I think inside the chassis is nice clean very easy to get to everything When the system first starts up it has the rating of roughly 81 decibels But that quickly quiets down to about 65 after it's been sitting for just a few minutes and idols that way Unless you're putting an under heavy low then of course the fans will ramp back up Now we are running DSM version 7.01 for 2218 the latest version available as of November 2021 I'm not going to dive deep into all the packages this comes with because well It's the same as it does on many of their other plus models all the active backup features hyper backup and many of the things I've talked about and I'll leave reviews to those down below Over to the drive management though I like the way the new DSM 7 does this will cross a lot of their new models and even the older ones Once you get DSM 7 you get a cool view instead of just listing the drives It kind of shows a layout or a picture of the system. So we know what's in Bay 1 Bay 2 We know the health status of the drive and as I mentioned earlier You will also know if you put a non-synology drive in there That's where that error message shows up if you look through the logs One of the things we did test when we were degrading the drives and plugging things in and out was what happens when you put Any non-synology drive? Well, yes, you can actually reseal for it and just deal with that error message So for some reason it passed the five-year warranty and you have to replace one of those drives with a non-synology one Yes, that is possible as well as scenarios I wanted to test because I was curious because five years from now You know, it's not a warranty and I happen to have a drive laying around and I just want the system to be Up and running and have to replace one. Yeah, that's a complete possibility. You can do that Oh, but maybe by then there'll be a DSM update that stops the stupid error message from Telling us that it's a non-synology drive, but overall I think it's a solid system all the testing We did here over time at the office. No problems with it We had like absolutely trouble-free and very reliable the Iops we got were pretty impressive see that benchmark video down below and overall I still like a lot of the analogy offering they have and this is a good piece of hardware to Match up with some of that software that they offer for things like backups and everything else Alright, if you have some comments concerns leave them down below if you want a more in-depth discussion on this You can head over to the forums and connect with me there And we can talk to or argue about some of the points and merits of the waste analogy design this because it's always fun They have an active discussion on it.

We got something from the p.o. Box. I hope it's cocaine me, too I don't get enough of that here Karen Johar stopped sending it for a while Which is weird. I don't know why I don't know what I did to him. I mean, we are the Bollywood bootlickers But this is it's does say it's from the and not not the name, but it's from the Ghana D'Astor This is just a little wine knife So might take a minute to open it because all I have My bet it's it's a um A disc Ew from a spine Hermitically sealed your mom's her medically sealed. Why would she be that? Well safety All the STD's she's been spreading It's a package wrapped in a package. Oh good. Yeah Proud of you for cutting away from your soul. It is I Recognize that is that Vikram? Big Rob say the name Is it Morgan? Oh? It's Tamil You sure yeah, I'm right there. Oh From the Canada if it's Vikram that would make sense. I vaguely recognize the look of the person But I can't place it And it doesn't give a lot of information on the thing so that's all right. We could look at all about it Thank you, please let us know and thank you so much for sending it We really really appreciate it if you like send us something now ask you to send us anything There's a people box in the description of every single video Hey, we'll go back to our stupid acts of course I'm Rick we can also Instagram What was that I was shooting off got a napkin Today we got a new trailer. This is called article 370 Article 370 don't be confused with article 15 or there's other articles. No, there's only two. Oh 370 15 that's it Why they skipped all those numbers in between I don't know but it's strange. Yeah, yummy good man and Priya money Comes out from Geo studios third That's all we know I don't know anything. All right. I don't anything about it. It just came out though the trailer Let's see article 370 It's probably about that article though, I've I've seen that is We'll figure out. Yeah Oh That's good You will be joining the N.I.A. This room I better Now Anyone No, not hundreds India safe I predict there will not be a lot of opinions about the film. No, not a lot. Very few. I've heard of getting everything. That's off to the people that did the score for the trailer there. It was fantastic. I was loving all the different elements that they put in that. Yeah, I was too. I'm looking up Article 370. Because there was a couple references but I didn't know which one was. Article 370 of the Indian Constitution gives special status to Jammu and Kashmir. Okay. A region, obviously a region located at blah, blah, blah. Jammu and Kashmir was administered by India as a state. Article 370 was drafted in Part 21 of the Indian Constitution titled Temporary Transitional and Special Provisals. It's stated that the Constituent Assembly of Jammu and Kashmir would be empowered to recommend the extent to which the Indian Constitution would apply to the state. Okay, so basically making sure that Jammu and Kashmir is part of India, basically. Right? Yeah. Governance, I guess. It's about the governance, India having governance over the region. Yeah. Okay. Well, the trailer made it look really intriguing. It looked really well done. It did. The VFX looked practical, like the explosions and all that. Right, right, right. It didn't look like it was like a cheap CGI. No, it looked like a good political thriller. Obviously, you guys who know a lot more about the actual event and obviously the article, you can let us know more information. We are very dummies, so we don't really know anything about it, but obviously it's a subject that's been tackled many times in there. Well. I mean, it's probably one of the most, at least in the current, but it's been going on for a long, long time. Yeah. Political events that's going on in India, right? Yes. That everybody obviously has an opinion about. Yes. Very, very deep, strong opinions about. Is the director the Uri, or is it the producers? It's said from the makers, I thought of. So probably the producers. Probably the production house. I don't know. Yeah. One of the producers is the Uri here. Who's doing score in the film? It doesn't show. It doesn't show right now. Okay. I vaguely recognize some of them, but I didn't, like, I couldn't know anybody in the cast by name. Um, Yomi, Viggy Donner, okay, that's where we saw her. Yeah. And Uri. And Uri. Okay. Which is crazy. That was five years ago. Read that. In the aftermath of the 2016 cashmere unrest, a young local field agent, Zuni Haksar, is picked out by Rajeshwari Swaminathan from the prime minister's office for a top secret mission. Their aim, cracking down on terrorism and putting an end to the billion dollar conflict economy in the valley by doing the absolute impossible, abrogating the detourious Article 370. That too, without spilling a single drop of innocent blood, which doesn't, um, look like according to, uh, the trailer, I think blood does get spilt. I think it's like innocent blood. So people are not trying to take it, essentially. Putting an end, their goal is to get rid of Article 370. I think the, um, I think the terrorists are trying to put an end to it. So to take it back, I think. Yeah. Cracking down on terrorism, putting an end to the billion dollar conflict economy in the valley by doing the absolute, yeah, I can't, it might be a little confusing in the, in that description. Any old who. You guys let us know any of the information that we need to know, um, about this, if you think it looks like something that would be promising, um, to the actual events that are obviously still going on. And as always, you know, my thoughts on films that are based on true events. So. Yeah. Which nobody, y'all, unless you're seeing the film, you don't know what the film is going to say. Yeah, yeah. So. Yeah, obviously. Until you've seen it. That's my favorite. They weren't in the production, have never read the script, have not seen a thing. Yeah. Until you've seen it, obviously. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't think that the Modi casting was actually pretty darn good. At first glance. At first I thought it was Modi. Yeah. At first glance. I was like, did Modi do a film? Yeah. He does that. He does it on the side. He's an actor. Yeah. He does it on the side. American presidents like to do that. It's true. Yeah. But yeah. Looks promising. So you guys can let us know what you think about it. If you think it looks good. If you have any further information that we need to know about these style of films, please let us know down below. Josh!


I'm Melissa Ilegarza, Public Information Officer at Cal OES. To help protect Californians from severe flooding and other storm impacts, Cal OES is pre-positioning swift water teams like this one in Tulare County. This week, Cal OES worked with local and state partners to deploy all available resources to communities across the state impacted by recent storms, including teams from Cal Fire that work to strengthen levees by adding sandbags and large rocks against vulnerable portions of the levee. And Cal OES deployed swift water teams stood by, ready to respond to motorists stranded in high flood waters. And work continues in Mono County following heavy snowfall that has damaged infrastructure. Crews are working to shore up buildings and remove heavy snow from rooftops to help keep businesses open.

Heading for my run and into the rec center for some recovery after yesterday's long run. It was a doozy But just went into the post office and thank you. Thank you for everyone who is still sending shoes You're amazing. We have quite a collection now I think we have at least a dozen running shoes to give away to people who truly truly need them That is what the running shoe giveaways are all about is to help people get out the door with Gently use running shoes on their feet. So anyway, we've got a collection, but now we can't live stream So I don't know when the next live stream will be because of the copyright issue with flow sports I've reached out to them three times just so everybody knows three times And I know I have the right email because I followed instructions on YouTube as far as how to retract a copyright claim Anyway, again, I I guess it was the screen being shown too much So that's my bad, but it would just be nice to hear from them exactly why it was it You know, they claimed a copyright on that Boston marathon live stream in the studio. Anyway, bottom line. Thank you for sending But because of that we cannot live stream and therefore I cannot do the run next running shoe giveaways So hopefully it's sooner rather than later. I'll just keep key. I'll just keep you guys Updated so thanks for your patience there also Okay, we're gonna get to marathon training in a minute I'm gonna update all of you on what is working and what is not working in marathon training I will say this much as far as what is working Recovery days in the gym. It is working so well with the pool and foam rolling and Stretching and the stretching machines and all that good stuff. So anyway, we're gonna talk about that in detail back at the studio And did I already mention I went into the PO box and picked up a few more pairs today. Thank you again. Oh, man All right, here we go one two three Just putting the finish and touches on the training as I hone in we're getting close Just remember pencil write the training log the training schedule in a pencil so you can erase and I just I'm not erasing workouts. I'm moving workouts. I'm just like strategizing with sharpening races and tune-up races and just listening of course to how the legs are feeling and Basic all right. Let's get to the studio. I'm getting a little a little ahead of myself. Let's get to the studio I'll walk you through what I'm doing actually first. Let's open up a few boxes since we can't live stream tonight I was gonna open some boxes. Okay, here we are. I think I know what is in here Give away. What's it gonna be? Oh, man? Oh Oh Yes, oh it tricked me. I it's a Nike box, but it's Brooks running shoes. These are the Levitate twos. Yes, the D it has the DNA amp midsole Brooks levitate two and the Brooks levitate twos are from Matt Thank you Matt. Thank you for this nice letter. I'll read it in full here in a little bit Oh, you're the best Matt. I'm just glancing at your letter and I love it. You're amazing and These are just to help people. Okay, these running shoes at some point as soon as we can get the live stream back going We'll get them in the right hands to the right people. Okay, let's open up box number two the studio. Let's see. Oh my goodness whoa whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, oh My goodness. Okay. Shout out to Kirk. Thank you Kurt for sending this box. Oh my I don't even know where to begin We got more Brooks. Hello. Oh my oh Oh Looks like something maybe for me. Oh, yeah Oh Kurt you are the best Kurt is an avid fan a great just supporter comments basically every single day and Kurt I can't wait to meet you someday in person, but he is looking out for me Look at this the Morton drink mix for my marathon. I'm gonna test out I've been trust testing out you can tailwind. I just straight up Gatorade and so this is the the Morton drink mix. Oh Thank you Kurt. I'm gonna put this to use probably tomorrow. Just continuing to test out. This is so cool Oh, and look what else is in here. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, my Broncos go Broncos Kurt. Are you a Broncos fan? Okay, let's open up one more box from Kurt. What's in here? Awesome. Oh Pegasus 35 turbos. Oh man Wow Okay Wow, oh My goodness, these are for a lady out there size Six and a half these things are so small so cute and I love them. Thank you Kurt Pegasus 35 turbos size six and a half for a lady out there ladies We're gonna take care of you next time. We do a running shoe giveaway. They are brand spanking new look at those things Oh my goodness Kurt. You're the best. Okay. Keep fighting keep fighting keep fighting We'll do this next running shoe giveaway as soon as possible See in the studio. All right marathon training update here.  But it has a lot of holes in it and you only wear it like once a year This is my 14ers t-shirt with all the 14ers in Colorado those big mountains in Colorado We call them 14ers basically I wear this once a year because every time I put it on a new hole pops up Anyway, I love this shirt. I love all right I just want everyone to know as we begin this marathon discussion. First of all keyword Sharpening that's right. The sharpening has begun. It's it's now now is the time to begin So I have 30 days to go 30 days to go before Cleveland. It's incredible. It's so cool nice Mentally, I would say rewarding to be kind of in that one-month range before a peak race Especially after such a long training block leading up to this race So that's exciting and question of the day. I'm gonna ask it now rather than at the end What questions do you have for me about sharpening for a peak race? If you have a question, especially about the marathon I'll definitely try and answer that because that's the mode. I'm in right now But if you're getting ready for a two-mile state championship, I guess it's a little early for that But soon enough it will be time to well Yeah, not too far off the the state track meets are gonna be happening all across the United States So I'd be happy to try my best to give you insights down below in the comments All right, I have not forgotten about the marathon playlist idea But I've decided to create that playlist after Cleveland So I want to get through the marathon Re-evaluate everything and you know 30 40 days from now So just so you know, I have not forgotten about that where I will really break down this entire training block Which is you know has become very detailed very malleable I've erased some things added some things listen to the body along the way So I want to get through the entire training block before creating that marathon Playlist so it is coming stay tuned for that and all right moving on to injuries So I wouldn't say I have any injuries, but I do have some aches and pains In this marathon training block just want to update you there. It actually popped up These aches and pains popped up basically right around the cookie chase 5k That's why I took a down week last week cut my volume by about 40% And it's a little bit it actually started in my big toe and that has it's gone now And it's kind of moved it's kind of moving up my leg I've noticed so I've got a little bit of a campaign Soreness tightness in my soleus area, and I'm monitoring it very closely I'm not concerned. I'm really not concerned. It doesn't hurt at all when I'm running. It's more like after running I just have to really be vigilant with the massaging the stretching the icing the Hydration all of that stuff the elevating elevating my legs up So anyway, that's a little update as far as injuries go overall I feel my legs feel tired and sore from the 22 miler yesterday, which is to be expected again This is kind of my calculated risk time right now where I'm willing to take a little bit of a chance Push myself a little harder in order to hopefully reap the benefits in well in four weeks from now Today's run was I didn't feel much today took it a little easier on the filming side But it was 13 miles so 21 kilometers 730 a mile 440 per kilometer So it's actually kind of nice mentally that a 13 mile 730 a minute for me for me I'm just not you know if it feels nice and relaxed So that's a good sign and with respect to my volume of training and again Here is my calendar that I'm working with and keep continue to update every single really every almost every single day It seems like this at this point So I'm at about between 90 remember how I like a range of mileage So I'm between 90 and basically 105 miles per week So about a hundred and fifty five kilometers per week in my training volume right now feel real good about that I don't think it needs to be any higher and I don't think it needs to go any lower yet Although it is coming soon. In fact, I'll just say right now Tapering begins in nine days.  It's it's I should say shorter. It's not as long But for a marathon after such a big long buildup I like to start tapering around well I'll just shouldn't say around basically right at 21 days So three weeks out from race day and so with 30 days to go What is left as far as harder efforts in this training block one long run? two threshold runs and two track workouts, so that's five Harder efforts in the next 30 days 30 divided by five is what six So basically I'm gonna average about every six days a hard effort now I will kind of load it heavy Right now in the next 10 to 15 days because then the last week before the race It'll definitely be easy easy. So it's really gonna be about every four to five days a hard effort Faster efforts. That's where the sharpening comes in. That's where the track workouts come in That's where the threshold track threshold efforts come in and that's where the volume soon is gonna start to come down pretty dramatically from 90 to 100 miles a week down to Let's see. I mean, well, I'll say it'll be like 70 to 80 and then it'll be about 45 to 50 and then the last week will be just baby baby stuff. And so remember yesterday. We talked about what? We talked about mental confidence.  You've probably picked up on this already. It's not necessarily track workouts It is long runs to a certain extent, but you know what it is. It's the threshold runs. That's right That's why I'm kind of Loading up on these threshold runs about twice a month is what I've been averaging over the last really Six to eight weeks. I'd have to I'd have to double check about yeah six to eight weeks approximately I've so every two weeks. I've been doing a good solid race pace threshold run here at elevation Okay here at elevation so so the next one will be Monday, so in about five days from now and Yeah, so that's what gives me confidence and I bet you know what gives you confidence for you It might be It might be you know a ladder workout on the track that lasts for 35 minutes, but it's really really intense So anyway, you just got to find what not only works for you physically But of course what works for you mentally to give you that confidence going to the starting line So in conclusion for my marathon training update I don't feel rushed and I don't necessarily feel overextended either Could I race in 10 days from now? I probably could honestly. I probably could would I be sharp sharp? No, but I probably could go put out a really solid effort in 10 days from now So therefore I'm excited for the next 30 days And I may I'm excited for the taper the mental break knowing like okay I can run instead of doing a 15 mile middle distance run I can do well an 11 mile middle distance run and eventually an eight and seven mile middle distance run So I'm I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good I appreciate the encouragement and the support on Strava and here on YouTube and Hopefully that gives you a little insight as to what is about to play out for me in the next 30 days And as you can see here like May is not even really filled in yet Like I know a couple things are filled in like the key workouts, but then again, it's going by feel listening to the body And like for okay one last point I want to do one more high altitude effort and I'm just trying to figure out okay When is that gonna work meaning I want to go get one more above? 13,000 feet inside of me get those red blood cells one more time So anyway, like that's one detail that I haven't plugged in yet to late April and early May All right, I love you guys that is the vlog I am gonna be publishing a second video today All about answering your questions remember I did not live stream last night because it's been shut down for now because of the copyright issue So 5 p.m. Mountain Time I will be publishing the second video basically it's gonna be a Q&A where I'm gonna answer a lot of your questions that are coming in via email Instagram YouTube everywhere, so see beauty work hard and love each other Oh forgot to talk about the sketchers razor three, but that's all right. They did their job today. They did their job today

Okay students, you will have checked in previous slides what are the notations which we use in multi period What are the mean vector and how we perform them and how we find out the correlation matrix Here is the example Now find the mean vector and correlation matrix for the 2 random variables that what is the random variable of the x1 and x2 while the joint probability function f of x1 f of x2 is given by now here is the two random variable x1 and x2 x1 minus 1 0 minus 1 and x2 0 1 this is the joint probability distribution f of x1 f of x1 x1 f of x1 x2 so here we have joint distribution and here you have x1 f of x1 i.e. total we have data given from this data now we have to find its mean vector covariance matrix and correlation matrix and now we have two random variables in the current example more than two will also come to us further current example we have two random variables now the solution x1 x1 we have a random variable minus 1 0 1 f1 f of x1 and you know that the sum of probability which is equals to 1 then further we have x1 multiplied by this x1 multiplied by f of x1 now second x2 the second random variable x2 0 1 and the x2 f of x2 write it down here f2 into x2 now these two multiplication now multiply these column further you have this result and this sum sum of which is x1 f of x1 and sum sum the total is x2 f of x2 total here we have table in that table we have the required results we have to find now find the mean vector okay mean vector mu which is equals to mu1 mu2 mean vector mu vector we do not have we have to find mu1 and mu2 where mu1 this which you have mu1 mu1 which is equals to sum of x1 f of x1 in random variable you must have read all these things you must have an idea that random variable when we are using that random variable according what is the value of mu1 sum x1 f of x1 now sum x1 f of x1 where did it come from 0.10 mu2 second we have the value of the second random variable we have to check the sum x2 f of x2 this sum we have taken from here now the point 10 point 20 mu1 mu2 value now mean vector what happened mu1 mu2 point 10 and point 20 this is the mean vector simple as we find mean so we have this mean vector value now next find the covariance matrix now this is the covariance matrix sigma 11 sigma 12 sigma 21 and sigma 22 this is the covariance matrix how to find the covariance matrix now sigma 11 as we know that the expected value of x1 which is equal to the mu1 now the expected value of x2 which is equal to the mu2 now I raise this sigma 11 so expected value of x1 square minus expected value of x1 whole square now the expected value of x1 which is equal to the mu1 open the expectation expectation we are opening so random variable i.e. x1 expected value of x1 whole square okay now we open it so what do you have random variable square i.e. sum expectation open sum x1 square into its probability so probability what is f1 of x1 so here many notations have written expected value of x1 square how we have opened that unit into its probability so x1 square into its probability minus expected value of x1 now in previous example we have seen that x1 is equal to sum x1 f of x1 now this sum x1 into f of x1 sum x1 into f of x1 whole square and this is equals to the mu mu1 now find how we are doing x1 square x1 square what is your first first this is x1 minus 1 square now minus 1 square multiplied by 0.30 multiplied by 0.30 i.e. minus 1 square multiplied by 0.30 plus 0 square multiplied by 0.3 plus 1 square multiplied by 0.40 so here we have done minus 1 square into 0.3 here multiplied by 0 square into 0.3 plus 1 into 0.4 so 1 into now 1 into 0.4 minus 1 square minus 1 square which is equals to 1 into 0.30 minus 0.1 whole square 0.1 we have basically mu1 so 0.1 we have mu1 okay you solved all these factors so answer is 0.69 we have sigma 11 now find the sigma 22 sum x2 square f of x2 minus sum x2 into f of x2 whole square now f of x2 i.e. this factor you know that which is equal to expected value of x2 and expected value of x2 which is equals to mu now here 0 multiplied by 0.8 plus 1 multiplied by 0.20 0 multiplied by 0.8 plus 1 square into 0.20 0 square you know it is 0 further it is solved so result is sigma 22.1 so you have sigma sigma 11 and sigma 22 now next is the sigma 12 sigma 12 means covariance find now which is equals to expected value of x1 x2 minus expected value of x1 minus x2 journal definition of the covariance which is equals to expected value of x1 x2 minus expected value of x1 into expected value of x2 further you know expected value of x1 which is equals to mu1 expected value of x2 which is equals to mu2 now expected value of x1 x2 open the expected value of x1 x2 so expectation open here we have done sum unit into its probability and this probability is joint probability which is given in the back probability of x1 x2 now you see further how we find it minus 1 into 0 into 0.24 minus 1 into 0 into 0 into 0.24 minus 1 i.e. x1 into x2 into f of x1 x2 minus 1 into 0 into 0.24 so this we have done minus 1 into 0 into 0.24 plus plus 0 into 0 if i have my i means we haveFr Tusso nto 0 into 2.16 plus 0 into 0 into 2.16 plus 0 into 0 into 2.16 then we have minus 1 into 0 into 2.40 toggles to point 1 into point 2 तो सअरा सलूषन अपनके पास आग्या minus 0.088 कोवरयेंच कि बालु नेगीटिप अग्यतीटीटीटीटीटीटीटीटीटी। तो हमारे पास मैं। अप के साम

Welcome to Access to Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey guys, good morning everybody. Welcome to another edition of TheAxisToTrader.com weekend update show. Hope everybody had a really good week of trading some really solid action. I hope you guys survived Halloween. If you're like me, man, we got thousands of pounds of candy because kids just can't get enough of trick-or-treating. So hopefully guys are recovering. I'm still here allegedly from death by chocolate and hopefully you guys will have an amazing rest because again next week is another fantastic, exciting, just joking, should be another boring, lethargic, predictable high probability trading week.  Right now it is, I'm recording this at 8 o'clock, right? I'm recording this at 8 o'clock Eastern time, okay? And I feel like it's kind of mid-morning. So this is actually good because now the sun comes up roughly around 7 o'clock instead of waking up pitch black in the morning. So mentally for all those traders, these are all positive steps to kind of get through the winter. So let's talk about the tape. Very, very aggressive action. Again, if you can just go through like video after video after video again, it's all technical analysis. There's really not a lot of surprises. There's a couple of things that we will address in a few minutes but the overall macro market, if we talked about this last week and week before and all that stuff, all these steps, reclaiming the 9068s, going back at the top of supply, backtesting its horizon support, holding yada, yada, yada, we're at all time high. So that's not where the surprise is. I kind of started really focusing on the price action towards the back half of the week. If you notice what happened, you had really strong earnings from Apple, right? The late reaction the day before but really, really strong move on Apple, big move obviously. I think the biggest weight on the Nasdaq 100, the QQQs, Microsoft as well, very, very strong names just consolidating to go higher. But what I started noticing towards the back end of the week, despite Facebook, which looked like they had pretty good earnings, despite Facebook, you really didn't see a lot of really good, strong participation from the Nasdaq 100 names, not the semis. I'm talking about the names that I trade pretty much every single day. Netflix just couldn't get going kind of towards the end of the week. And again, you can make the case. Well, it's just consolidating, reclaiming the five-day moving average is going to go higher. Amazon came out with earnings this week. Again, not horrible earnings, not at all, right? They held us so well, very, very well. But again, maybe next week, again, maybe next week and reclaim supply and goes higher, but just couldn't get that big move going, right? Just couldn't get it going. Roku, again, could have really, really broken out, had the same kind of scenario with Netflix on Thursday and Friday just couldn't get going. Tesla, which was, again, my top watch going into Friday's session, okay, we had this play perfectly, like perfectly, perfectly all week from the big run-up, the second day play that I tweeted out, which, again, I put that, I don't want to use the word lesson, I hate that social media term, but I reiterated one of the better plays out that I've been doing for years is that whole once the stock puts in a big move, the next day it opens up red, it's a gift into rising support and it goes red to green.  We shorted it perfectly, perfectly in the next several days into support. Even Friday was a good value trade, but again, it just couldn't get above the five-day moving average. And I started noticing this with a lot of names, like with a lot of names in the NASDAQ 100 space. You go through all of them. You swear, again, strong, but just couldn't bust out the rest of the market. Pinterest, and again, not that Pinterest is the end ball be all, not even a beta name, but names that people can identify that just couldn't get going. You had Shopify, same thing. And again, you look at the space, the semiconductor space, very, very strong. I still think Netflix, next leg up, you have Clack, right? You had Clack, so the semiconductors and Apple and Microsoft are definitely holding the ship. But again, I don't trade based on the indexes. The indexes for me are irrelevant. If you've been watching this kind of broadcast on a weekly basis, the indexes for me are just guides, right? I know the market is strong. You could see it. Again, any fool could turn around and see the market is incredibly strong. The one thing when you are a new trader, sometimes you lag onto the euphoria. You lag onto the linear aggression. And again, everything is perfect right now, right? Earnings are fine, at least on the surface. Earnings are fine. The structure is fine, but what you guys don't have yet. And again, you'll get this in time. You don't just wake up one morning and just understand everything about trading. It takes years and years and years to really understand all the moving parts. And that's why you can't get anything in a book. You can't get anything in an edited version of reality. You need to see everything and play it in real time. That's why I always say time is always the greatest teacher. But the one thing that I started recognizing about 10, 12 years ago is the ability to recognize a warning sign. And again, you're not going to see it on the surface. You never will. And again, maybe it's nothing, but now we have two days in a row that the names that I trade every single day, they just did not participate for the most part. Okay, take Apple out of the way, take Semi's out of the way. I'm talking about the names that should have rallied, right? That really, really should have rallied with the market because their catalyst is out of the way. Either earnings, whatever the case may be, or they have a good number is they just didn't participate. Okay, maybe it's something, maybe it's nothing, but at least for two days in a row, we talk about this all the time. I start to gather evidence. I start to gather information to put myself in a situation to have a better, cleaner opinion the following day. And it started Thursday, right? It started Thursday. You saw Netflix getting hit. You saw Roku getting hit. I gave Tesla the benefit of that. I still think the stock goes higher. And you had these really massive, massive bets on Netflix on Friday, I think north of $10, $12 million worth of bets. I believe it was the January, I'll tell you right now, instead of guessing, I'll tell you right now. It was the January... Where was it? Where was it? You see all these bets coming in. Monster bets, right? Yeah, these really, really huge bets. These were the February 290 calls coming in, just massive moves. I mean, you're talking about $10, $12 million worth of bets and they still couldn't get the stock really getting aggressively. Yeah, you had that pop. You had that very, very aggressive pop off of the sweeps, but it was very, very odd. So again, nobody's talking about their destruction of the markets. It's just something that we need to pay attention to going into this week. Because again, like I say, you don't want to trade with blinders on.  Because again, the market's just not going to tap you on the shoulder, especially if you are position trader, right? The market's just not going to tap you on the shoulder and say, it's okay, it's okay, everything will be fine. Your portfolio is going to be okay. What we saw on Thursday, if you guys remember, it was a very, very odd day. I had a couple of buys that I do these dip plays and I had a couple of buys. One was with Apple. It was the day that Apple came out and earned the next day. It was with Apple and the next day was, excuse me, and the next play was BY&E. This was on Thursday. And I noticed how both of them, when I was trying to buy the bottom of support, what usually happens is it's going to stall out at the bottom of support on the rising channel. And what would happen is the stock in a couple of minutes would usually stabilize and start really bouncing higher, trapping short, trapping eager late shorts. And that didn't happen Thursday. They literally, like, Apple, like, crumble. On Thursday, for example, on the bounce play, I wanted to lose like 30 cents on Apple, so it wasn't even the point of the money. It was how easily, right? It was how easily they went through that rising support. And by the way, if I didn't stop out, right, if I didn't stop out, Apple went down like $2.5, $3 even lower. And the same thing with BY&E. Like BY&E, and again, the only reason I was trying to buy the dip on Thursday, if you guys remember, Friday, Wednesday, I had a really, really aggressive session and it came into support and it failed at support very, very quickly. So I knew right away, again, you don't need to get punched in the face 28 times to figure out that something is wrong, that it hurts. You have to get out of the way. And went into that Friday session kind of knowing this. But again, I wanted to give the bulls the benefit of the doubt. And the most ironic part about Friday session, if you look at, and again, this is the Alibaba pre-market trade that I put into the channel. We'll talk about that in a second. But if you looked at Friday session, I actually had everything to the upside, right, literally to the upside. We'll talk about Alibaba for a second. But I actually had everything to the upside. I had Tesla long pivot, right, Amazon long pivot, Roku long pivot. I had both ranges on BYND, Facebook long pivot, Boeing to the downside, AMT that worked out pretty well, Netflix to the downside. But if you look at everything pre-market, everything was set up to the upside, right, everything pretty much was set up to the upside. And the most ironic part when the market did open up, I found no value at all to the upside. And again, one of the hardest things, especially for a new trader, again, when you're a new trader, you have so many things working against you. Most don't have a process. Most don't not have an adequate way to control their emotions because, again, emotions are part of having a process. When you have a process, it's much easier to curb your emotions trading with it without a process.  You're all over the place. So most traders can't identify or don't even have the ability that something, if it's something so obvious, they can't switch, right, they can't switch. I have the ability to, if I see something wrong, especially with the macro structure of something technically just not getting there, I have the ability, because I'm doing this over 20 years, I have the ability to switch from long to short to short to long very, very quickly, not on emotional, right, not on an emotional case, based on technical case. And Friday was a perfect example that we literally went from long bias, right, giving the longs the benefit of the doubt, collecting information the previous day that something was wrong. And we got really good value to the downside, okay, really, really good value to the downside. And the most important part is, again, if you're a new trader and you got long, these stocks, right, and that opening break, again, it's not your fault. Okay, it's not your fault, because, again, the market's strong, right, you've been hearing for years and years and years that the market is very strong, you should be long, you should be everything is good, the indexes are all time highs, every stock should be exploding. And the thing is with me is when I'm trading that specific group, and this is the group I trade, I trade the same names 90, 95% of the time, because, again, I understand that sometimes they do detach, okay, from the indexes, sometimes there is a huge monster disconnect. And when that disconnect happens, I'm usually early on what could happen next. Now, again, I don't want to freak anybody out. Okay, I'm not calling for the destruction of equity prices, everybody, all your permeables, stay calm, stay calm. But again, when I see the leaders, right, the leaders, the happy go lucky cult stocks, not generally participating in a very violent, especially upside bias market. Again, you have to take a step back, right, you have to take a step back and really watch what's happening, because again, I've said this in videos nonstop over and over again. Even if you don't trade beta, okay, if you don't trade Tesla, if you don't trade Netflix, if you don't trade Amazon, right, everything between, okay, they do represent speculation money. And these are the stocks that mutual funds, pension funds, hedge funds want to own. These are the biggest growth stories. These are the stocks that people know they understand, and they love to be, and they love to be long. So when there's money, there's a bias strike. And again, I'm not saying there will be, but it's something for us to at least acknowledge that it's happening. Look at Friday's session in these names. If it continues to happen, it doesn't become a coincidence, okay, it becomes something that we really have to pay closer attention to. Because again, if you don't recognize the early signals, again, maybe it's something, maybe it's nothing, but again, for us to understand that it might be happening, the market's just not going to tap you on the shoulder and say, oh, it's okay, it's okay, Tesla had really, really good earnings. It's okay, right? It's okay. The stock will go to $3.50. Next thing you'll have a $10 candle to $3.05. Again, that's saying it will happen. It's just something for us to watch. So going through this new week, you know, again, I'm still very, very bullish, but I want to watch early evidence come Monday morning of what happens next. I want to see if the futures rally, what happens with Netflix? I want to see if the futures rally, what happens with Roku? I want to see if the futures rally, we get it. Again, a monster catalyst, monster earnings on Tesla, can it finally wake up? And if the answers to those questions are yes, then we have nothing to worry about, right? We have nothing to worry about. If the answer is no, you better take off those rose colored glasses, because again, God doesn't care about your position. So praying to God that the stock rebounds doesn't work. I promise you, it doesn't work. It doesn't work. Your baby is born every single day with third world countries blind, with horrible living conditions. So God, trust me, has other things to do than worry about your Tesla position. So again, do not put yourself in a box. You have the free will to change your opinion. You have the free will to change your bias. But the most important part is do it technically, not emotionally.   And again, it's your job to take all the signals and take all your data and try to make an intelligent decision of what to do next. So let's talk about Friday. Really good week, really, really good week. Thursday I didn't have a good day. I didn't have a third day. I just couldn't get going. I just couldn't figure out, I couldn't figure out what this market was telling. Okay, I knew the market was very, very strong. I know the Dow was down 250 points, whatever it was, 200 points of the whole impeachment thing. I really didn't think that was going to be the catalyst going into Friday session. So I still wanted to give the bulls the benefit of the Dow, but I just couldn't get anything going because the names that I traded that should have been strong weren't strong.  It wasn't a bad day. It wasn't a horrible day, but I cut myself off and went into Friday. So Friday came really good value, but not the direction that I was planning to. So let's talk about it. They started out with Alibaba. Okay, this was pre-market and I tweeted this. Again, this is why technical analysis is so damn cool in there. It really is. This is what separates the dreamers and the talkers and the opinion experts and all that stuff. The greatest judge, jury and executioner is technical analysis. I even put this on pre-market on my main Twitter feed. Again, I wanted everybody to understand how important technical analysis is. And I tweeted out and said, look, this 174 is the bottom of the channel. You can see it. 174 is the bottom of the channel. If buyers defend that level, early aggressive sellers come in, really late sellers and the shortest come in at this level, and it holds, that's a very, very important level. And obviously I didn't tweet out what happened next. I put this on the private feed, but I said, hey, 174 held, right? 174 held. Watch red to green for possible move. Note, again, this is not a pivot. Red to green is not a pivot. It's just earnings momentum. So again, we're collecting data. It held the 174. It went red to green and Alibaba did really, really well. Congratulations to all you guys who did trade this thing. Again, here's the 174, right? Here's the 174. It reclaimed and the stock exploded. Even if you messed up this trade and stock went red to green on the 176 area, it still put up like a $3, $4 move. So really, really good move on Alibaba. Like I said, here it is. If you're long, take it on the way up, right? And then boom, big move. Boom, right? Social media word. Boom. Big word. Uber, again, not a big move. Uber comes out and lock up 11.6. This really didn't work too well. I wasn't in this trade, but I saw the price action didn't work too well. Lock up 11.6. 31, if it builds below, it can flush. Here is Uber. This one, I don't think it worked. I don't think it worked too well. So here is the flush, right? So here is the flush here below 31. It only went up. I mean, look, if you took 50 cents in the trade, you took 50 cents in the trade, but it did turn around and started moving up. I didn't trade Uber, just not my thing. But again, keep in mind, lock up is coming out on 11.6. As you guys remember what happened with BYND, right? What happened with beyond on the lock up, you really pay attention on what happened and what might happen to Uber. Again, here is Amazon. I traded Amazon several times this week was really good. It just, it couldn't go, right? It couldn't go. Maybe it goes this week, but Amazon, you know, not a big move yet. 17.93 needs to build. And if you look at Amazon, again, this is where stocks were having a hard time, right? 17.93 and it stopped right at supply. Okay. It only put up a $5, $6 move and it came back in again. I like Amazon. Okay. I think it needs to reclaim supply for it to go again. Maybe it does. Maybe it doesn't. But again, it just couldn't give that big move. It really, really couldn't give that big move on Friday along with a lot of names. Again, I was watching Tesla. This was my focal point of the day. I mean, the most amazing part was this was my focal point of the day going in. I said, okay, look, 17.50, 18 is a sneaky area. It's a very, very aggressive area for experienced traders only 319 macro it needs to build. It never did that. It just never did that, right? So again, we'll talk about this in a second. Roku, sneaky area, 48, 80, 49 needs to go. Again, market's strong, right? Should go. It never got there. Okay. We'll talk about that in a second. BYND again continues to be a really, really good trader. Again, here are the ranges for Friday's session, 91 to the upside, 84 to the downside. I think BYND is going to see, I think BYND is going to see 80 this week. Okay. So we talked about that 84 area. Okay. We talked about that 84 area. It broke, you know, it broke that 84 area, went down to 82. I personally think the stock is going to test that 80 level, right? The earnings level, and I think the stock is going to get killed. So let's keep an eye on BYND for this week. Let me see what else is going on here. Again, Facebook, Facebook again, another example how there was just no strength, right? Facebook got above, you know, Facebook got above that 9380, right? That 9380 and just couldn't get going. You just could not get going again. Can it go on Monday? Of course it can't. But again, just got to pay attention to. So here's where things started getting good, right? Here's where things really started getting good. And this is where we really refocused. Okay, refocused because again, we realized nothing was going higher. So again, if something doesn't go up, let's go, right? So AIMT, big move here. Obviously, Boeing never got down to this 339 level. AIMT 28 needs to build. Here was AIMT. Oops, AIMT, right? So here's AIMT.  I think this is a fake print. Yeah, it almost went to 29. It reclaimed 28, went to 29. Yeah, and this is where things really got good. Netflix got hit, right? And Netflix got hit very aggressively here. So here was Netflix. Here was the 8430. It went down very, very aggressively. Two bucks very, very quickly. Again, nobody was talking to destruction of prices just for stocks to go from demand to demand. So that was good. Roku was good. I mean, Roku was good. I caught this thing really, really nicely. Roku, so here is the 145, right? Here's the 145 area. It broke the 145, excuse me. Here's the 145 area right here. It broke and it just went right down to the bottom of the channel to the 143. So that was really good. That was a really cool trade. Like I always say, take money on the way down, right? Bingo. Again, Tesla was beautiful. Tesla was beautiful as well. 312 on Tesla, right? 312 on Tesla. Here was the channel on Tesla right here, this whole channel. It built 310, went all the way down to 310. Again, not destruction moves, but again, if something doesn't go up, must go. Right? Nobody's saying for Armageddon. We're just talking about price action, collecting data and moving forward. Again, beyond my comments of the same, went to 82, any close below 82, which it did. I think it tested $80 on Monday. Once it breaks 80, I think the stock will see 74, 75. So that was good. So again, not monster moves, not monster moves. But again, not every single day we're looking for these monster aggressive, you know, game, quote unquote, game changing trades. Sometimes you're going to just find areas of interest in the market that have nothing to do with the overall macro view. Okay. The market was super duper strong. And I noticed the stocks that we trade were not. And again, it's sometimes, you know, technical analysis becomes simplistic when you just use common sense. When stock can go up, when the futures exploding, there's a really good chance it's going to go down. And that's, and sometimes, again, that theory plays out really, really well. So again, something for us to think about, I'm still bullish, obviously, going into the week. Again, just keep in the back of your minds, guys. Okay. Let's watch what happens that first candle on Monday. Okay. If we start seeing, again, Tesla can't rally. Netflix can't rally. And they start breaking down at the bottom of the channels. It's going to go lower. Again, I hope they don't. Okay. I hope they don't. Because again, when you look at Tesla, for example, okay, all it needs to do is reclaim this five-day moving average and the stock is going to explode. Right. If you look at Amazon, again, just to give you an idea, all it needs to do is to reclaim the top of this channel and it's going to explode. If you look at Nvidia, right, right. Again, all it needs to do is reclaim this five-day moving average. It's going to explode. The problem is it keeps on getting rejected from the top of the channel. Apple is still a monster, obviously. Microsoft, it looks like it wants to go higher. Intel, again, Intel. I like Intel. I think Intel goes higher. I think Intel, all it needs to do is reclaim this 5670 and it's going to go higher. But again, look how tight this range is. And this is what's great about pivots, right? We don't care which way they go. You see me all the time tweeting ranges in the private feed. BYD, 91 to the upside, 84 to the downside. What's the difference which way the stock goes, right? What's the difference when the stock goes? So going into this week, I have a very, very definitive channel for Tesla to the long side, to the short side. Same thing with Intel, same thing with Microsoft, same thing with Amazon. And again, here's a perfect example of Intel. You don't need to guess. You don't need to forecast. You don't need to play Miss Clio and take out your crystal ball. Here's the channel, right? The top of the channel is Intel. If it gets above 5670, it starts to build. It's going to go higher. Look at the bottom of the channel. It's very, very tight. If Intel starts losing 55, 60, 55, 50, it's going to go lower. So you don't need to be a bull or a bear. You just need to have common sense. You just need to take off the rose-colored glasses and let the market tell you. Again, our opinions mean crap.  I'm a schmuck.  I'm all of these things. But again, I have common sense. And when something tells me, go, I go. You don't sit there and try to take your opinion, have an opinion of what's going to happen next. The market is going to tell you what's going to happen next. Your opinion doesn't pay. Price action does. So going to this week, guys, I am bullish. But again, I want to be very, very conscious of a potential pull, continuation pull of these names, because if these bottom channels start to confirm, we're going to go lower. And again, it doesn't mean a macro pull lower. It just means a view of the beta cult names that could get pulled. And they could be pulled very, very aggressively. So everybody, I want to wish you guys an awesome, awesome trading week. We got an extra hour. We got an extra hour. Use that hour wise. Instead of worrying about your fantasy football team, the enactors, one guy is questionable. Take that hour and do something productive for your trading career. Look at charts, back test, look at some news. Do whatever you need to do to put yourself in a better situation to succeed for Monday. Again, if you're doing exactly the same things over and over again, you're not getting anywhere. What makes you think that next week is going to be different?  You're humbled and all that good stuff. That's great in real life. It's important to be humble and a nice person and love you kids and love your wife and love you dog. As a trader, you have one job. Collect information, wait for it to confirm and strike with extreme prejudice. Guys, God bless, love you all and I'll see you on the field tomorrow. Take care. Congratulations for putting in the time to take control of your trading. You're one step closer to owning your future and achieving the success you desire. Want daily trade ideas directly from Dan?
