The following is a presentation of TFNN, The Trader's Edge with Steve Rhodes, toll-free at 1-877-927-6648, or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. The Trader's Edge, now Steve Rhodes. Good morning folks, welcome to the August 18th, 17th, 18th, that is the August 17th edition of today's Trader's Edge show. I'm your host, Steve, Perseverance Rhodes, who absolutely knows that each of us should always be pioneers of our future versus prisoners of our past. I hope everyone out there is having a great day. Let's make sure we have an extraordinary one and the easiest way to do that is to always remember that life is happening for us, not to us. That's right, when you and I make that one little two-by-four shift, it means we can find the gift and every set of circumstance that life is going to toss at us. Now today, you and I, we're going to go check on the circumstance of these markets. We'll go figure out what those bulls and bears, what those buyers and sellers are communicating to you and I at just past 11 o'clock in the morning. I do want you to know I'm absolutely grateful for your presence here. But more important than that, and that's this, during this next 53 minutes, I'm here to serve you. So feel free to pick up that phone. We'd love to hear from you. You can dial on in at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Now, if you can't tell, then we've got you covered there, too. You can always send me an email. Send that to Steve at TFNN.com and inside the subject, and if you would be kind enough to put radio show question, of course, inside our Tigers, and well, any and every ping will do. So let's go ahead and get this show started on a wonderful Wednesday. Of course, this is Tiger Financial News Network. I'm Steve Rhodes. Welcome to the show right now. You get all the US indices trading the downside. The Dow is off 221 points. About seven tenths were sent. S&P about nine tenths are 41 points. NASDAQ 100, one and a half percent, 209 points there. The Russell's off one and eight tenths are 36 points. The Semi's down three and a half percent, 106 there. Trendy's off 2%, 296 points to the downside. Gold's trading off $11.60. 1777 is the print there. Silver's off 38 cents. 1970, lights recruit up 93 pennies. 87.09 is the print natural gas. Down six pennies at 9.25 and the 30 year treasury. Printing out at 140.06. That is off one point and one tick. Lead the charge dollar-wise the upside. It's a fan favorite inside the Tigers. Now that's Cassava Sciences. S-A-V-A is the ticker symbol. That's up $8.57 or 42%. Eli Lilly is up two, about 3%, $8.60. Sargentics up 8.50, a little over 2%. Northrop Grumman, nearly 2% or nine bucks. Agilent technology's up about 750, about 6% to the upside. Lead the charge dollar-wise to the downside. You've got Mercado, Lirbeo, 50 bucks. That's a standard, nearly 5%. Blackrock down 20 bucks, two and a half percent. Micro strategy off 20 bucks, 6%. Land research down three and a half percent or 19 bucks, Broadcom down 18. That's 3% to the downside. So we've got some movers and we've got some shakers. So where are we gonna begin? Let's go begin by taking a look at those daily equity future contracts out here. We'll change our screens. We'll take a look at the white background, the Ninja Trader screens out here. And what we will see is that the NQ is testing support. The NQ's where I should be. Where's support, Stevie? What happens to be the top of its daily profile as well as green oscillator and change line. The exact numbers for you. The green oscillator and change line is pretty right now at 13, 435. And the top of that profile is 13, 419. So I'd be watching that 13, 419 level. Price closing below that. Well then we've got a move. Now it doesn't show on the white background chart. So I did show that to you earlier on my black background charts where I've got that advanced offer tool that helps me identify new profiles as they are attempting to form. So price able to close below the green oscillator and change line but I'll still use the, because I won't get the profile confirmed until this evening. But I would say that if we do get a close below the bottom of the current profile that you see on my screen out there. Again, that level was at 13, 419. Then what we'd be looking at likely is move back to 13041. Now you don't see that here. The 13041 level is the bottom of the new profile that is attempting to form. So the NQ, now price is back at support. We can see this green oscillator and change line. Bydezen has held as a springboard, if you will, or just a key level of support. So, you know, those of you that were short the NQ who may have closed out that short, good idea because we don't know how this battle is going to unfold and we can see on a daily basis, price is really sitting at some key support areas. Back over to the ESMini, the left-hand side, there is an A to B equal CD patterns, A to B equal CD patterns for each of the executive future contracts. If, in fact, the bear sash candle or bear shingalping candle that is present right now forms, that's going to suggest a move lower. That move lower would suggest 4228 or so, that's the green oscillator and change line. Now, the ESMini is also attempting to make a new profile. I'll change over to that screen here momentarily, the top of which are resistance at 432750. The center is at 4263, we're at 4268 right now. So you want to watch that 4263 level. Why? Because it's a bear structured profile. Typically, if we close below a bear structured profile, that signals a move to the downside. Once we get a confirmed sell the D point, that would really all be in line. Now it's 4177, that's the current profile reading, 4228, that is the green oscillator and change line. So that would really become the target area. If we take a look at the Dow, the Dow could, if it forms a bearish reversal candle today, confirm a sell the D point pattern. Now there is no new profile at the moment for the Dow equity future contract. So it's price target is very clear. That would be that green oscillator and change on at 33440. Now none of that's going to take place likely, unless the end queue begins to fail here. The case of Russell 2000, it too, is attempting to form a new profile. Now support here is at 1968. 1976 is the green oscillator and change line. And that would form a sell the D point pattern. Right now that should be pretty easy to do because of yesterday's narrow body candle out there. But you'll want to watch that 1976 area for the Russell 2000. If we get a close below that, well 1968 should be the area where we would find support. So I'll switch back to our four panel charts here that shows you those new profiles. That way you can copy these or grab them, whatever it is that you're going to do, or just simply write them down on your pad of paper out there. So you'll see the new potential, get new potential profile. You can't get this confirmed until, well tonight at 601, so we won't be hosting a show at that time. So it'll be tomorrow at 11 o'clock that we understand where these profiles took hold or not. Again, those new profiles being in the ES, the NQ and the Russell 2000. So where do we go from here? Well, I'll tell you where we go from here. We go stay with the NQ for the moment. And to stay with the NQ, we want to go understand because price is sitting near a level of support. We're going to switch back to the white background screens out here. What's going on on the intraday time periods? Oftentimes, if we are at a real key level of support, we will see some intraday bottoming signals. Well, the first one that pops up on your screen is the lower left hand corner. And that is a 60 minute timeframe chart for the NQ. It will complete a TD nine count bottom as we come into the noon hour. You already have bar number nine that's completed. So this is the bar following bar number nine. Maybe it makes a lower low. Doesn't matter whether it does, but it, well, it matters if it does because that would create your benchmark level. Price for the close below the low of this pattern. Then that tells you about a further move lower. Now where would that further move lower take us inside a 60 minute timeframe chart? Excellent question. That next downside target if the TD nine count does not take hold is 13,356. Do I have any other bottoming signals? Well, we don't as we speak. So it's all going to be about that 60 minute timeframe out here coinciding with the daily timeframe getting back to the support level. So you want to keep an eye. Now, if this TD nine count does take hold, what we should see is a price bounce up to its oscillator and chains on, which is acted as resistance. That currently is printed at 13,542. If price does rally from here, that line will likely move up to 13,558, the 13,577 area. See roads with CF at end. We'll be right back. Blooming inflation, we are purchasing powers eroded. There's no better place to protect your harder and money than in gold. This, the gold's flagship asset is the Monk Todd Gold Project in the Northern Territory of Australia. This is Australia's largest undeveloped gold project. We are talking a world-class gold project in a tier one mining district. This is a large scale, low cost project with significant existing infrastructure in a politically safe and friendly mining jurisdiction. This, the gold just completed the Monk Todd feasibility study, which resulted in a 7 million ounce gold reserve in a 16 year mine life. All of this combined with the approvals of all major operational as well as environmental permits. This distinguishes Monk Todd as an attractive, de-response, ready development stage gold project. This, the gold trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the civil VGZ. You might think that if you want to be successful at trading in the stock market, you're going to need a crystal ball.

This is for Kota inside the Tigers Den. I believe Kota is short of Lights We Crewed. So let's go take a look at the charts out there. What do we have? We got to start with the monthly timeframe chart. We have the continuous contract up. What we do know about the monthly timeframe chart is the momentum has shifted from being bullish to a neutral to suggesting some downside action. So a level of support here, price below that green oscillator and change line, price should target 80-285. 80-285 is the bottom of the monthly profile. On a weekly basis, bar number nine is going to complete as long as price closes below, this is at Friday, as long as price closes below, 90-285. In odds, favor, that that is likely to happen, but it's only Wednesday. So Kota, close below 90-285, you've got a TD-9 count bottom. That's a huge amount of money. 80-285, you've got a TD-9 count bottom. That suggests that a bottom from a intermediate term timeframe should form either this week or next. Remember, you can't get the lower low on that bar following bar number nine out there. If we take a look at the daily timeframe, the daily timeframe shows that price is below the bottom of its profile and rejected its oscillator and change line. So let's just simply expand out the chart and make it a little bit easier for people to actually see, pull this back out here. And so we can see the oscillator change line here. A key level for you to be watching to the upside would be 87.99 at the moment. The price is below that. And the bottom of its daily profile. So the suggestion here is a move back to its next breakout level of 81.88 out there. Again, watch the 82.85 level though. That is the bottom of the monthly profile. As we take a look at the intraday charts out here, what you got was on a 30-minute timeframe, we're always with the indicator bottom. You've got that on a 60-minute chart. You have that on the 120-minute timeframe chart. Nothing on the 240. Nothing that sticks out to me on the five-hour timeframe chart. So back to the 30-minute chart out here with regard to lights we crude. So you've got that nice bottom. Price is holding the oscillator and change line and the top of its profile. As long as those areas hold, those areas would be basically, I'd be looking at 86.69. If price holds that here, then that's gonna suggest that it wants to make a move up to 89.70. If price does not hold this level, then a retest of support, which would be 85.83 to 85.98. Now, this is a 30-minute chart out here. So what you wanna be paying attention to is where's that close in 10 minutes at 11.30? Back to the hourly chart now. On the hourly chart, nice roads meant to indicator bottom. Price did close above the top of that profile, but it's back below that area right now. Support here because that's a bullet-structured profile. Dakota would be in the 86.31-ish area. So watch to see if that level gets tested and whether it gets rejected. If it doesn't get rejected, 85.84 will get hit. On the two-hour timeframe chart, price is just consolidating with inside its profile. So the key level to be watching to the upside there is 87.25. You really don't wanna see a close above that. If you get that, that's gonna suggest a revisit of the prior highs out here that would take you into the about the $90 area. So that's what's going on with LightsWe accrued. I hope that helps you out, Dakota. Let's go take a look at your next request. Your next request was to take a look at natural gas. So let's pull up those charts out here. In case of natural gas, the real resistance level is from the month of June. June created that Confirmed Roadsman Dominicator top. It did it with a bearish engulfing candle. And that says $9.60, 9.604 is your real key level of resistance to watch. You're probably able to close above that. It says we moved to the upside. Now that was a continuous contract. We probably get a different number. And this is the number that I would be using because we have the October contract up here. And on a weekly basis, the resistance level is $9.56. Let me make sure I've got that correct out here. So I do want to give you the accurate number and the contract that you are trading. So it's going to be that high. And again, that high is $9.568. If price takes that out, then it's a moonshot to the upside. Otherwise resistance is held. Do you sell on natural gas? No, you just, you're up at resistance out here. The monthly chart is neutral to bullish. The weekly chart is neutral to bullish. The daily chart is neutral to bullish. You can see it's also taking on its most recent high out here. So again, that's just simply going to confirm the number that we were looking at. That was from the trading day specifically of June the 8th out there. And again, that's $9.568. You close above that and it should be off to the races to the upside. Now, when we look at the interday charts out here, Koda, you can see a nice roadsmint to indicator top on the 30, on the 60, on the 120. No topping pattern that sticks out just to take that back. There's a TD9 count-top on the 240. There's a TD9 count-top on the five-hour timeframe chart. So, interday charts out here, as price got back to that level of resistance, that old high, you can see how those interday charts were giving you a signal that it wasn't ready to take it out. Now, what has not occurred out here is any key levels of support have really not been broken. For the 30-minute timeframe chart, the level you'd be looking at is $9.12. For the 60-minute timeframe, it's $9.12. So, close below 9.12. Is that gonna bring the 879 to 889 area into play? The 120-minute chart is testing support right now. That's the bottom of its current profile. The 240 really doing the same. In the case of the five-hour chart, it doesn't have any support. If it closed below the five-hour timeframe chart, it could open up the Kimono for $8.65. But really, we'd go back to those other shorter-term timeframes to take our interpretation one step at a time. So, Kota, you've got price and resistance inside of natural gas pulling back. It may just simply be pulling back the support to reload to take another chance at taking out that resistance level. So, hope that helped y'all with regard to natural gas and light's recruit. Thanks so much for the requests. The next request coming in from Coomis. This is by email. I want to take a look at CRM. So, let's get back to my multi-timeframe charts. We'll put those up on the screen here momentarily and actually read Coomis' question, which is, can you please review and talk a little bit about ticker symbol CRM? Thank you for everything that you do. Cause, gas, cause. So, let's go take a look at CRM. What do we know? What we know is on a monthly timeframe, price and consolidate with inside its profile. Your support level went 66.79. Resistance between 219 and 227. The weekly chart. Nice rogment and indicator bottom has taken price right up to resistance, resistance being the top of its profile. That's level-free to watch if you are long. Whether you're longer or short out there, the top of that profile is 191.81. You close above that, it suggests a further rally. If we take a look at the daily timeframe chart here for sales force, what do we have? Well, at the bottom was a rogment and indicator bottom. Price now has resistance that is TD9 account breakdown area. And that's at a price point of 196.45. So, we won't look at the intraday charts here right now. Let's just come back and revisit monthly, weekly, daily. What do we have out here? Well, you have a clear bottom on the weekly and the daily timeframe with price dealing with resistance areas. Even though the weekly says 191.81, I've used the 196.45 level as the last point of resistance out here, on a further move higher. Now, if you get above that, that's gonna signal move back to 219 to 227 level. As I take a look at the intraday charts out here to see if there's anything that is really helped to us. At 15-minute chart, price has pulled back. It's trying to form a rogment indicator bottom pattern right now. So, yeah, nothing really that I see other than that cause. So, I do hope that that helps you out and thanks much for the request out there. Real quickly here, let's go for our dinners out here. Let's go change over to Saba. This is one that's followed primarily by Dana's one. It's brought it to the attention of everybody here. Saba having a beautiful day. Saba's up about, where is it? It's up 38%, $7.60. Now, what Saba has done, it's right at a resistance, 30-08. That's the level, now it's big volume in here. So, it should be able to take that out. It hasn't, it's natural resistance, a TD9 count breakdown level. But you close above that and Saba should be off to the races. Price is trading above the top of its weekly profile out there. That suggests, and you got a nice TD9 count on the monthly, so 39-36 if you can get above 30-08. Steve Rhodes with TFNN, we'll be right back.

We've got about three in the, it looks like four now in the queue out there. So we didn't take a look at gold. We'll do that for you, John, as well. So let's go to our next request, which is from Fletch inside the Tiger's Inn. Fletch wants to take a look at the XLE he's looking for, I believe a long is long or is looking for, let's see here. Can you look at XLE to the long side? Sure. So we know about the XLE right now is that it has an A to B equal CD pattern out here. It also has a TD9 count top. And this is the daily time frame. That's really the area that price needs to close above. And that is from the candle session of July 29th, Fletch. That high out there is a 78.66. So if in fact price can clear that level, then it should complete the one to one, at least the one to one A to B equal CD that would take us up into the $84 area. The other area where price is struggling with inside the XLE is the top of its daily profile. That's at 77, 87. So we've got sellers at the top of that TD9 count pattern. We've got sellers at the top of the profile. You can see the oscillator and change line has changed color. If price can test and reject that level, that would be a bullish outcome. But we still have the consolidation with inside the daily time frame. If we look at the weekly chart, we can see that it's oscillator and change line. This has a confirmed rogment to indicator bottom when price had gapped down. But its resistance level is at the top of its profile and its green oscillator and change line. That's at 79.40. So close above 79.40 would say we're on our merry way to the upside. If we look at the monthly timeframe chart, TD9 count top, that took price right back to support, which held that was a green oscillator and change line. So for the monthly timeframe, the XLE remains bullish. For the weekly timeframe, it's pretty much neutral. For the daily timeframe, I would say it is neutral as well, neutral and consolidated. And it's certainly not bearish as we speak. So Fletch, I hope that helps you out with regard to the XLE and what it is doing out here. The next request, excuse me, came in from Portugal, from M squared out there. And what Mike wanted us to take a look at was the NDX priced in multiple currencies. Many of you are familiar, we'll go switch back first to my black background charts out here. And so many of you, or hopefully all of you or each of you are familiar with the set of tools that we use to help us understand what the markets are communicating to us. For example, here is the Dow chart. I have shared this with each of you, certainly over the past couple of days, as the Dow priced in these other currencies, the other primary currencies, that is, euros, yen and pounds is at new all-time highs. New all-time high yesterday, priced in euros, new all-time high today, priced in yen, new all-time high yesterday in pounds, priced in pounds. This is the Dow that we're taking a look at, nowhere near that in the case of US dollars. Now, I have maintained that when you get major tops out there, you will see these charts top at or about the same time. Since we now have new all-time highs in pounds and yen in euros, this tells us about in the future. This tells us that we should see the Dow make new all-time highs in dollars as well. It'll be in these other currencies. And I'm not saying that we're not going to see some type of decline, a significant decline out there. This has given us a roadmap to what to anticipate into the future. Now, Mike's question was, it was a great question. I appreciate the request out there was, how is the NASDAQ 100 performing those major currencies? So I went ahead, put that chart together here just before we went on the air. And as we take a look at it, first you'll see that the NDX 100, whether it's priced in US dollars, euros, that would be the second chart, yen is the next chart. And then put it in the chart on the very right is a Great British Pound. Each of those have a top of when? The exact same day, 11, 22, 21. So this here, again, when we get major tops out there, and that was a fairly major top inside the NDX 100, absolutely. And we saw really nice decline out there. So this is how it works. So now that we know that the, so in the NDX 100, nowhere near as a performance level as the Dow out there, which I think what Mike was your question out here, not to be, not really a surprise to any of us, why? Because when we take a look at international markets, that is really, that's a global flow of capital. That is really about liquidity. And that liquidity, you're not going to get better liquidity than inside of the Dow. I know a lot of people hate the Dow. It's only 30 stocks would have you, but we want to understand what large money international traders are taking a look at. And it'd be no surprise, should be no surprise to any of us if the NQ holds that support level. Even though this is the stock, the NDX 100 version of the NQ out there, we shouldn't be surprised because when we take a look at traders of the Dow, of the markets in major currencies out here, it's in breakout mode. They're not seeing anything bearish out here. And there's a lot of traders that are trading the Dow priced in euros, priced in pounds and priced in yen out there. So that's what's going on, Mike. No, the NDX 100 is not making new all-time highs, but I believe that it will. No, the NDX 100 is not. And that just feeds into, if you listen to the segment that I did with Tom on the Monday out there, what I was basically saying was offering caution over the next couple of weeks out, or two or three weeks. So, and really that chart, so I do appreciate you requesting it, is also suggesting caution out there. All right, so let's go to our next request. I took care of Mike in Portugal. Let's go to Ray who wants to take a look at, Billius came in by email. Let me try to pull that up here. And Ray wants to take a look at some of VERU. How much higher can VERU run until it hits resistance and has a pullback counter? So I think we're in the black, yeah. We are. Let me just go over to our three timeframe charts out here. Whoops, that's not the one I wanted. I wanted this tab. Let's type in VERU. So let's go see what, let's try, see if the profile levels answer Ray's question. And the answer to that is no, they do not. Prices above all profile levels, daily, weekly and monthly. The target here, let's pull this back, is the monthly chart. So your question was how high can it go before it has a pullback? And the answer, my friend, is going to be $24.57. The actual high so far this month, $24.55. Boy, you gotta love that. So 24.57 is the high from February of 2021. Now the volume there was 167 million shares. You're pushing into it already with 160, basically 167 million shares out there. So if it can close above that level, that's gonna suggest a further move higher. Now the question might be further move higher to where. And that's a great question. So I think to answer that question, we'll just simply take the weekly chart, expand it out and type in an A to B equal CD pattern. So the A to B equal CD pattern that I would use is gonna use as a low April 4th. It's gonna use as the high April 11th. It's gonna use as the C point, the low from May the 9th out there. You know, that's not really a great A to B equal CD pattern either. But it does say that the next price projection level would take you up to the 2809. But to answer your question, it's really gonna be that high of 24.57 that you're going to have to watch.  We'll see what's going on on the intraday basis, as well as the daily timeframe. But right now price is pushing into a swing point that could say you're in total breakout mode with the ERU out there because it is certainly pushing higher with volume. The next question that came in from John inside the Tiger's Den, John wanted to take a look at the Goldilocks. So to do that, it'll take a moment here for these charts to populate. And that's okay, because we're about to go to a break. So we get back here. We're gonna take a look at Gold for John inside the Tiger's Den. And of course, folks, I would love to hear from you. I don't think I have anything else on the deck out there. No, I do not. But I do see a couple of messages inside the Tiger's Den. So I'm gonna take a look at Goldilocks as soon as we get back.

That's panel number two, panel number three is yen. The panel on the very right is pounds. You can see that we're up towards its all time highs. Price in those currencies looks like inside the yen right now. It is well still trying to take out that level has not done that. So that was for Kota inside the Tigers Den and John once take a look at the Dow priced in a Chinese one. I'll get that chart set up for us and we'll be able to take a look at that tomorrow out there. So we'll add that currency pair somehow to or some type of set of charts out there. So I'll take care of those two requests. So now let's go back to Goldilocks. We'll switch over to our white background charts out here. Take a look at those multi timeframe see what they're signaling to you and I. Now we already know that Gold is testing the bottom of its daily profile. The bottom of its daily profile is 177650. The price close below 177650 that's going to suggest lower price, lower price to wear. Well, I come back to the weekly timeframe chart and that would signal to us John about 1757 or 1716 out there. If we take a look at that Gold price or Gold price if we take a look at Gold on a 30 minute timeframe chart needs a bullish reversal candle to confirm a bottom roads meant to be indicator bottom. You're in bar number nine out of 60 minute timeframe chart. So that says that we could see a bottom teeny nike out bottom between noon and 1pm. Whatever the low is between noon and 1pm out there if that low gets taken out that tells you about a strong momentum to move to the downside out there. Well, hold on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what that would signal to us. Two hour timeframe chart John I don't have any kind of bottom signal nor do I in the 240 nor do I on the five hour timeframe chart. They're suggesting price pulls back to the 1770, 1768-ish area out here. So that's what I see with regard to Gold deluxe. Again, the key area, truly being the bottom of its daily profile. So 1770, let me make sure that is again that level is 1775, 50. So hope that helps you out. Thanks so much for the request. Next request coming in from McGuppy inside the Tigers then want to take a look at ticker symbol XBI. So let's get back to our three panel charts out there. Let's get that in our system XBI. It'll take just a moment here to populate because of everything that I've got open at the moment. So we'll let that populate here and then we'll tell you exactly what it is doing. The request from McGuppy was could you please cover XBI? It's been consolidated in recent highs but today appears to be trying to break down. Where do you see support, Ossetian change line and the profile levels up there? Okay, so great question. XBI is what we've got up on our screen here and we can see truly it has pulled back and it's trading below its green Ossetian change line. So the suggestion there is that price may pull back. So the top of its profile, we see it may just kind of confirm this. The top of the profile is 8363. So that is likely where price would head to on a further pullback here from a pattern standpoint, I really don't have an A to B equal C. You can see the A to B level out here. It's a gigantic level. So I know that that pattern has not completed. But where price did stop was at its TD9 count breakdown level at 94.19. When price gets back to a support area like a TD9 support area, that can be a bottom. When you get up to a resistance level such as that TD9 count breakdown area, that can be a top in lieu of any other pattern out here. It looks like that's what we might have. If we look at the weekly timeframe, you could get a confirmed TD9 count top this week. So long as price closes, but you're 89.40 right now. And so long as price closes on Friday above 80.68. If price does that, then you're going to have a weekly TD9 count top. Megupi, that would then suggest a pullback to the 86.41 or 76.70 level. If we look at the monthly timeframe chart out here, there is a completed by the D point pattern. So the A to B equal CD, very easy to see. You can see a couple of months ago was at Volsash candle. Price should target 96.71 or so. That's the oscillator and change line. So far the monthly high has been 95.18. Is that close enough? It's pretty close, but not close enough out here. But I agree with you. Your interpretation absolutely correct. From a volume standpoint today, price so far in the first couple hours of trading is pulled back with 4.5 million shares. What it's going into is a trading day from August 5th that had about 20 million shares. So you got four and two and four times. That's really light volume that it's pulling back. Doesn't matter whether it's light or not. The next low of sport, which is what you would ask for is really going to be down what appears to be at 86.41. Below that, it would then be 83.63. So hope that helps you out with regard to what the XBI is doing out there. You see if there's some other question inside the tiger's den. Can we take a look at the SQQQ? We cannot. We cannot take a look at the SQQQ. Of course we can. But what you really want to do is take a look at what's going on inside the cues out there. But I'll put up a triple for you. And we'll do that on the black background screens out there. And then what we'll do is we'll take a look at the end cues and just get a little bit of an update. So we take a look at the SQQQ. That is the triple being short the NDX100 out there. So you've got a new profile that is formed. If we were just going to use these profiles to interpret what the market is telling us to say bullish structure profile. Remember when I mentioned that the daily profile for the NQ is trying to form a bearish structure daily profile. Now that profile that we looked at, we'll look at again out there will not be confirmed until 6.01 this evening. But if it does take hold, and in this case here, this one is real with regard to the new profile. So this much of the SQQQ I can share with you that this is not using my advanced offer to figure this one out. And that says that price should make a move up to 37 bucks. That's where price should find resistance. That's on the SQQQ. Now let's go pull back and take a look at the NQ charts out there. So we'll do this here real quickly as we've covered this before, but that's okay. And is really taking a look at the daily timeframe. And price right now is sitting at support. And support is at green oscillator and change line. I'll just simply expand out the chart here. You can see that each time that we have been down to the oscillator and change line, by days in, it has held. And that is a bullish signal. It's an especially bullish signal when you have a green oscillator and change line. So price right now is trading just below that. By the way, below that means 13, 432 is the oscillator and change line, but the top of its profile, 13, 419. Now that's the old profile out there, but if price holds that, then it remains for the most part bullish. I say remains for the most part bullish because what I don't know is whether or not the new profile is going to hold. So we're going to switch back to those black background charts out there. We'll go take a look at that because here you'll be able to see that profile level. You'll be able to see the new ones. Again, that a form for the ES or our tempting to form is what I should say to the ES, the NQ and the, well, the Dow now has one and the Russell 2000. Remember the Dow did not have a new profile. Now again, this one is also a tempting to form but back to the NQ. You can see that the NQ's profile, but it does take hold even if the old one holds, because price is below the center of that new profile, 13507 if it does take hold. That's really a suggestion that price should make its way down to the 13041 level, but we're really going to have to come back to this GT tomorrow because I just don't know whether this profile's going to hold or not. But if we take a look at now, the Dow just a new piece of information out there. The Dow right now has a bearish and golfing candle. I do not know what it will look like at days and that's the bottom left-hand panel. But if we do get that, by the way, the top of that profile is 34087 and the bottom and center are in the same location. That tells you about strong support at 32820 as for the Dow equity future contract. Steve Rhodes with TFN and we'll be back in just a few to close out the show.

That is the Global Lithium and Battery Technology ETF out here. It has a confirmed daily A to B equal C into the upside with a price projection of $84.28. But it's run into a little bit of resistance. Brand new profile that has formed today, $82.17. Coda is where the sellers are hanging out. The buyers are hanging out at $78.90. May just be consolidation within that as it resumes its way to the upside out there. Weekly timeframe price above the top of its profile with inside the monthly timeframe price and consolidating with inside that. As we switch over real quickly and take a look at my other multi-time frame charts out here, what we'll see is that the next upside price target. So we've got the $82.17 area that price has to take out. $82.66 is the oscillator and change line on the monthly timeframe. So that's where your battle's at. You're gonna watch $78.90, you're gonna watch a $79.10 as those levels. If those areas hold, then it remains bullish and price should continue on and make that $84.28. But of course, $82.66 is gonna be a key resistance level. So I'll leave you with this. The charts to be watching for the rest of the day out there, certainly for the next couple of hours, those are going to come from the 60 minute timeframe. So let's get those charts up on the screen here. They'll be up here momentarily. Each of them, as you will see, have TD nine count bottom patterns. Now in the case of the ES mini, it's the bar following bar number nine that is completing right now. I don't know, well, it's five more minutes. So likely the low is in out there and you're gonna watch 42.55. If there's a close below 42.55 on any hourly bar, that says this pattern gets negated and 42.21 becomes the target. Bar following bar number nine on the NQ. Right now the low is at 13.406 and a quarter. So I'll assume that that low is gonna hold. And therefore, if you see a close below that in the next hour or two, that suggests move back to 13.356. The same thing inside the Dow. Right now that low, bar following bar number nine is 33.804. That's the level to be watching. Inside of the Russell 2000, the area to be watching is a 1970, 650. Now what price should do here is price should at least bounce up to those oscillator unchanged line levels out there. So to the extent you're going ahead and trading intraday, I take a snapshot of these charts out here because they should help you guide yourself into what the markets or the equity markets are doing. Folks, stay tuned for some great programming. I'll be back with you tomorrow, 11 o'clock sharp. Thanks for joining us on wonderful Wednesday. Have a great afternoon.


Our side can't be violent. We cannot be violent. Violence doesn't work. Capital punishment doesn't work. Violence never works. America hasn't won a war since World War II. We've gone to war so many times. We haven't won one. We haven't really walked away triumphantly since World War II. And some would say we didn't even win World War II. There are guys like Pat Buchanan, America firsters like Pat Buchanan, who say we didn't win World War II because Russia ended up with half of Europe. Violence and war in the end doesn't work. Police violence just creates more criminals. It creates more violence. When citizens shoot police, more citizens get shot by police. Guns in the home don't protect you. You're more likely to be killed by the gun in your home than by somebody coming into your home.  They accidentally shoot their wives and children with their own guns. They accidentally shoot themselves with their own guns. They get their own guns taken away from them and then shot by those guns. Violence is not the answer. Passive resistance. Passive resistance is the answer. I was very upset and happy this weekend that Sean Spencer got cold cocked. He says he's not a Nazi. He invented the alt-right, calls himself an identitarian. He held a rally in a hotel room in Washington, D.C. A few days after Donald Trump was elected president or maybe it was before where they were shouting Zieg Heil. He was giving an interview on Saturday explaining that, no, I'm not a Nazi.  I'm just anti-immigrant, anti-Semitic, anti-feminist. And while he was giving the interview, somebody walked up and just punched him hard in the face. And as much as I love looking at that, I'll tell you why it's not a good idea.  It wasn't a great punch. That's the first thing. Secondly, he stumbled, but he didn't go down. Fair of the guy ran away. That's just satisfying my bloodlust. Yes, I did enjoy seeing him punched.  We don't want their side putting us in the ovens. I know that. We don't want to be, we can't be rounded up.  There are a lot of bikers who are protecting Donald Trump. There are a lot of brown shirts who are just itching to punch us and do worse. Spencer said that he was humiliated. I was surprised he admitted that. He says he's worried about being attacked again. He says now he needs bodyguards like bikers probably. He says he's more worried now about going out to dinner on an average Tuesday because these kind of people are roaming around. Now he's worried that he's going to get punched. This was nice. He said, I'm afraid this is going to become the meme to end all memes. He said that I'm going to hate watching this.  And it is sweet that he's not happy about this. Yes, that's delicious. But it's short-sighted because it justifies now a violent attack against us. All we have on our side is morality and the law. We don't have their guns and we don't have their rage. We think we have their rage, but we don't. I mean, those women who marched on Saturday, not a single arrest. We're not violent.  We're not as violent as they are. So don't pick a fight. Don't do that. I was upset that the Nation magazine, which everybody should subscribe to, celebrated it. Or at least they had a writer who put together all the music videos that were created off the gif of Spencer being punched. Yes, it's great. Born in the U.S. They have one in the air tonight, Phil Collins, you know, that big pounding drum solo. They just kept repeating the punches to Spencer's face. Yes, it's my blood lust. John Favreau, he's a former speechwriter for President Obama, said he found it great. He kind of encouraged it. And they're wrong. You don't encourage violence, especially somebody like John Favreau or somebody even from the nation when you live in a bubble. If you're in the trenches, it's more dangerous. You're going to get punched. John Favreau isn't going to get punched. It's the guys showing up to the marches. They just said the most important thing we can do now is show up and make our voices heard. But now we have to worry that Richard Spencer and his acolytes are going to come and punch us. Passive resistance is the only way to move the ball forward.  It's good to get the blood flowing. Rage and anger creates community, but keep it among ourselves. Do not lash out at the other side because it accomplishes nothing. They are never going to admit that they're wrong. So all that does is just fuel resentment. It gets us nowhere. We just need the votes. That's all we need. We just need them either to stay home on election day or vote for a Democrat. It's that simple. You cannot convince these people to think otherwise. If you have lost causes, all you can do is subtly convince them to vote for a Democrat or stay home. Demoralize them, even though they have no morals.


Who the more hen who hot it with you? good Expression Netherlands, so let's go with English so WPC li is a command-line interface for WordPress and today when we have so many Command Line interface tools do we really need another one? Of course we do what? Yeah, WPC li is not just the most powerful tool You can use to do stuff to WordPress. It is also fun and not scary so now We are going to compare graphic user interface, which is WordPress dashboard and WPC li everything you can do In WordPress like fresh install no additional plugins just Default team you can do with WPC li so it's like equal, right? And this first level of using WPC li I like to think of as Guilfoy level But then you want to do more you want to list Chrome jobs. It's okay. Everybody does and you want to export and import databases With graphic user interface you need additional plugins to do that, right? with WPC li You don't you can do that on fresh install without any additional plugins. So now we have It's the same, right? Yeah, and This new level of using WPC li. I like to think of a pipe Piper level But then you don't want to always export and import the whole Database right sometimes you the database is just too big and you want Just parts of it with WPC li you can do that I had a client with the large database. Well, no their website had a large database clients Don't come with databases, right? And I didn't need all that stuff like team options and Millions of posts and users and everything I just needed posts for past six months With WPC li I could do that easily with just one command and I could even specify this query more like From this date to this date but or this author or just this category You can really specify it to meet your needs So something that could take a lot more time. I was able to do in 30 seconds and That's not all with WPC li you can scaffold You can scaffold plugins teams blocks and many more things and If we take a look at the graphic user interface, which is your dashboard There is no plugin for that So now if we compare it, it's still the same. It's not competition But this new level of using WPC li is And now you think that's all yeah, right? No, it's not With WPC li you can create your own custom WPC li commands talk about inception and Some very smart hosting companies and plugin authors are doing this for years So imagine you get a new project You log into hosting and oh my Gutenberg there is SSH but then you look further and You'll find WPC li now you're flirting But then you look even further and you see they have their own custom WPC li commands to do stuff on their server very quickly Now this new level of awesomeness is mr. Robot level And now I convinced you you want to start using it and we can start using it Now I don't have any computer or server without it So I'm not gonna show you how to install it, but it's a pretty straight forward and there is a nice documentation about it All you need is three and a half commands. That's it So first now if you don't see this this is make dot WordPress dot org CLI handbook guide Installing so you can find it all in documentation what you need first is this Command to download and it's working So basically you'd need only just one command to make it working and then you run this half of command To check if it's working it's working But you don't want to type PHP WPC li For every time you want to run command, right? So what you do you make it executable and then you move it somewhere in the path in your path where you can execute it and This is the most common name. So how you Type this you will type command like that. So this is how you name it You can name it whatever you want WP is common because From the moment you install it, you will actually do a lot of Copy pasting from slack stack overflow, right and documentation. So you are warned keep it, you know the common and now When we have installed it we can run WP info One too many Okay, and then you see the info on your System on PHP where it is what version it is your My SQL and your WPC li. I have the latest stable version Now before we start using it There are a few things to know to make it easier for you to to use it first thing to remember is every CLI command not just WPC li every CLI command is doing just one job. Don't complicate it It can do massive work, but it is just one task So keep that in mind also the structure of the command always try to be Consistent so what you have is WP or whatever you called it then we have none This is entity you want to work with and there are a lot of entities You can check it in documentation or just in in your terminal and after that we have verb Which is what you want to do with this entity and you will find a lot of entities have the same verbs like add create remove delete least generate and After that if this is not enough if you want to make it more specific What you can do is use flags. These are just parameters that allow you to to specify what exactly you want at any point There is a number of global parameters that you can use such as help. I Recommended highly because complete documentation is in help. You don't have to go to websites You will find everything there all parameters. You will find examples and all global parameters and There is another global parameter that I really love there. There are many but My personal favorite in the whole world, which is mind-blowing is prompt and we will see it today how it works. So now we know the basics and What I want to talk to you about today is how you can utilize WPC like to make your administration more fun because we know that's not fun and It's gonna be faster and we are going to talk about security Yeah, WordPress and security and development and some magic. Okay, so first administration consider this scenario You got email from old client is not old you you work with them for a long time ago And since then they never call never write nothing and now they write you email that They cannot access their login URL They try WP admin and login and it just keeps sending them to four or four page And that's because you were smart and you change the login URL to increase the website security And you even advised your client to change it again so that even you don't know it and let's pretend they did So they changed it. Okay, and now nobody in the world knows the login URL And you have two options you can go to Database if you have access and search which is boring or you can run one WPC like command Because we live in perfect world where every server has WPC like available and we have SSH access to it So yeah, you choose the second one. I support you. Let's do that. So I can say so this is my imaginary client and My port number and we can do this. So this is remote and if I type Info just to see if I have it available. Yeah, it's not the latest version of WPC like but it is available The only problem with this is I haven't heard from this client for a long time ago I don't know that port number. I don't know. Where is the file? I saved that port number I don't know even if I still have that file And I hate Memorizing port numbers as soon as I memorize one port number I forget all the parameters of WordPress functions that I ever used and that's not good But with WPC li you don't have to memorize anything You can use aliases You can create alias for every remote or local website that you are working on and you don't have to ever Think about logging or you know credentials whatever and you can even create alias for group of websites To do stuff in bulk. Just don't overdo it. Trust me So how do I know if I have alias for this website for this client? I can type WPC li alias List now here you see this word. This is list and here is the exception We have WPC li and alias. This is because alias is Configuration of WPC li on your machine. It doesn't have anything to do with configuration of the websites It's just on this machine. So if I check it here, you see I have two of them all is created When you create one custom, it's automatically created and it's obvious for all Aliases that you have you don't want to use it. Maybe you want to try. I don't know if you have too many You probably don't and there is client and you can see here credentials that I use now You can't just create alias and it's working. So before creating this alias I have created connection between my computer and server through SSH keys So this is just basic SSH administration I'm not going to go through there, but when you have that connection you can actually create alias Through SSH with WPC li and now we can start using it So I can say WPC client So you type WPC and alias name and after that Command like you would without alias and while we are there. Let me check the version of this WordPress. Oh It's up to date So disappointing This is what happens when you change routines before talk So this was supposed to be outdated and I'm gonna update it right now. So When you want to update or update WordPress you will use core update and before because I'm going backwards. I need to Well, not because I'm going backwards because I'm not going with the latest stable version. I need to specify version So I'm gonna say 5.8. We don't want to go too far back. It will break And after that because I'm going backwards. I need to force it Look ma no hands You don't even have to go there, but I would suggest going there just check if it's still there Okay, now it's outdated and Now we can pretend I did all the backup and everything that is recommended and I can update it so when you want to update to the latest version you just do this without any parameters and There we go It's updated. I wasn't even there and now let's do what we wanted to do to find that login URL So I'm gonna use command that I used More than I care to admit I love it It's for executing arbitrary PHP code at server.  It's WP login URL and Here I'm gonna just add a new line for printing. So this this is not really important. This is just terminal stuff And here it is you should have asked Milana And this is my imaginary clients website Completely updated and nothing to see. Okay. So this task in real life could take you a Lot of time that you cannot bill you cannot log You know, you would send email to your client like I don't have credentials to hosting and then they would reply I don't have either So then you go and search through your computer Meanwhile, they replied. Oh, I found it then you log in and then you have to open ticket with support It can take a lot of frustrating time. You don't want that with WP CLI You can just do it in second and if you start creating aliases now for every website that you work on in your WP CLI config file You will find all credentials. You don't have to memorize Where's the the login that you save everything is there and you don't even have to open it because you can just find the alias and in two years, trust me, you will love yourself Yeah, so let's talk about Security now I'm gonna go to a local website. I have Now this is just freshly installed WordPress last night something like that and and Let's see what users we have Again, you see user list. So it's consistent now in next few minutes I'm gonna be saying things that are obvious and you know them and I'm not saying them because I don't think you know them I'm saying them because there is a point behind it. So bear with me So here we have admin. It's first Number one ID and its administrator. So that is the default user we have and now let's go to dashboard To see what this user can do now this command WP admin. You don't see it here You see it now WP admin is a command that will take you to dashboard Now why we didn't use it with alias in previous example It doesn't work with remote servers as expected But you can use it with locals like I don't remember any URL at all ever again Just type WP admin and this command doesn't come with WP CLI right away. You have to install it separately You can find it in documentation. It's just one command just one command and it's there. So let's log in and Here is the obvious stuff. So admin has access to everything there are posts categories tags pages Appearance there is this full-site editor plugins Tools You can edit team and plugin files in dashboard in 2022 I will repeat you can edit PHP files from dashboard If that's not dangerous, I don't know what is then Then Settings so this is obvious. This is what admin has and when you Install WordPress there is this default post hello world published and default team will always show this username of This the only user that we have right? So now we have only user only one user that has access to everything to editing PHP files in dashboard And the username is displayed on the front end. So everything we need now is just password, right? and WordPress websites gets hacked often that's not a Secret we all know that and I like to think of it because we are popular but You don't want your own website or the website of your client to Be the tool to measure WordPress popularity, right? And yeah, there was a time and WordPress was this security hole on server. Yeah Granted it was 2009 now WordPress is secure, but it still gets hacked because there is this user factor human factor and it can be many things it can be very jolly password It can be Installing plugins that are shiny, but we don't know where they came from and no developer looked at it, right? And many other things So there is a solution. It's obvious. It's right in front of us Remove the human factor, right? Well, no, we cannot do that We are building websites for humans to be used and created, right? So what we can do We can work around it and now I'm going to work around it. So first Thing I'm going to do. I'm gonna demote this Admin, but first let's see what user can do. What words we can do with the user so We can add capability add role. We can create, delete, generate, get, list so you see all these Consistent verbs then remove capability, remove role, spam, unspam. With update command, you can actually Change the password of the user. So if you want to have some fun with friends, you know, why not? I don't know. What's your cup of tea? And now I'm going to demote this admin, not remove, just demote. So I'm gonna say WP user remove role Now the parameter WP CLI needs to know which user, even though we have only one It needs to know which one. You can use user ID or username or email. I know it's user ID number one and if we list users now You see this role is empty and what that means if you take a look here at Admin bar when I reload the page There's nothing. You can try to go to dashboard, but there's nothing because WordPress Doesn't know what to do with you when you have no role. It just you know, okay, whatever I don't know who you are. Even subscriber has more access than this admin right now But I suggest keeping the password strong because you want your hackers to be amused You don't want to disappoint there But now we need someone who can actually do something in this WordPress. So we are going to create user and Now there is a number of parameters Some are mandatory some are not. I don't know. I know which ones because I practice for this talk But I don't want to know parameters. Yeah, I don't care. I don't want to memorize Anything and I don't have to now here. We have this The greatest global parameter in the world on work just use prompt and Prompt will prompt you with every parameter there is You don't have to type anything. You don't have to think about typos or which parameters You can just type what is unique for you. So user login. I'm gonna use outer And user email. It doesn't really matter because we are in local User role. So you see these are square brackets. That means it's optional. So these are the only two mandatory parameters and Default role is subscriber. I want author. So I'm gonna say author User password now this should really be strong password But I have to log in with this user in a minute. So let's pretend that this is a strong password Even though it's not and now if you have used If you have installed some software on Windows It's just next next next next I don't care. Whatever okay, so we have two users now and One is out or the other is no role And let me just go and log in with this again some obvious stuff author Can create posts, but doesn't know there are taxonomies never heard of pages No teams and plugins. No editing files in dashboard nothing. So this is very very limited Access for this user. They cannot even edit existing posts. They can just create their own posts So we have these two users one has no access at all the other one has very limited and from from terminal I can say WP plug-in install and activate and I'm gonna say simple history Nobody can do that from dashboard, but I'm doing it from terminal and What this plug-in does it will give you a list of Events that happened in your WordPress install and There is a list that you can see in dashboard if you had a user who can see it. We don't have that user, but We can do it from here simple history List now you see this plug-in author is smart. They created Custom WPC like command for their plug-in to be used in terminal and they've been consistent with list and I Can see that here. I can see everything what happened So how about that? When it comes to security, you know moving everything that is dangerous and everything that is important to SSH level Now if this author was your client, they would want more access and they should they should have But the next role is editor and that's too much for my taste So what are we going to do? Luckily WordPress has capabilities and capabilities are these small bits of Access and permission that you can combine and make every access unique Now you don't want to make every user experience unique He's you just don't have enough time for that But you can find something between author and editor that will you know be safe enough and this is what we are going to do WP user add capability now again, we need user ID or username or email I'm going to use ID and we need to tell which Capability we are going to give them so first. I think they should have Ability to manage categories and this is not just for categories. They will be able to manage Tags as well. I think someone who is making posts should be able to manage taxonomies next thing I'm going to give them option to switch teams and Do the same for plugins But it's not switch. It's activate What this will do? It will give them Ability to switch between existing teams, but not install new one and for plugins They will be able to Activate and deactivate but not to install new one and when you have a problem in WordPress when something happens and your WordPress doesn't work This is the first advice you will get from anyone just switch to default team and turn, you know Deactivate all plugins and then activate one by one to see where the problem is So I think everybody should be able to do this, but no Installing new plugins no introducing new PHP code a developer didn't see and approve and There is another thing Teams and plugins some plugins and even core are hiding some settings behind edit team options What this will give you in newer versions It will give you access to this full site editor where you can edit header and footer and create menus and all the things and There are other things that you can add. So this is just like basic. Well, these these are the four I learned Okay, and you can find all of them in Documentation WordPress.org support article roles and capabilities you can find all of roles here So roles are actually just group of capabilities role means nothing It's a group of capabilities and you can create your own roles and just pack it with with your own set of capabilities and Here you can find list of capabilities for every role there is So you can really refine everything and I believe this is our Responsibility to find this line where site owner can really have enough access to own the website, but not enough to break it so we can do that with capabilities and That's about Security, let's do development now Yeah Group of users. Let's let's leave that for the for the end. Yeah, let's I don't know probably who knows There is documentation we'll see so let's talk about development now When you start new projects often times you need the dummy content and It usually looks like another post yet another post another post It's just it takes a lot of time. It's useless because you just create posts You don't have content and you need more users and you need menus and you know well with WPC li you can use verb generate with all the entities that have it and You can generate post pages users widgets menus Custom post type. No, that's for a sky scaffolding taxonomies many many other things you can take a look in in documentation and Default number is 100 for each and you can actually use the parameters to to specify exactly what you want And it will be fun, you know to do it once but second time It won't be fun to do it to run all those commands So what you can do you can just put all that commands in bash script and Just run bash script and laugh out loud because you are not doing it manually just run it and yeah But that's for boring stuff Let's do interesting stuff Scaffold is my favorite command There it is and let's see what we can scaffold block child team package Plugin post type taxonomy team test plug-in tests underscores underscores is standalone team That is what we call now classic team It doesn't support blocks, but if you are still using classic teams you can use it, you know just to learn or maybe you are using it in your project and What we are going to scaffold? I mean we listen about blocks every day So I'm not gonna scaffold the block today. I'm gonna scaffold plug-in Again, there are parameters. I don't care slug Let's say wordComp, Netherlands The rectory name if I want to have it differently then slug. I don't want to title wordComp Netherlands 2022 Description we don't have a time outer WordPress community URI plug-in URI skip test don't Continuous integration provider is by default Travis, but you can set whatever you want if you want something different Activate yes, please Network we don't have force if you already have a plug-in that has the same Directory name you can override it, but I don't have so I don't care and we created a plug-in So let's go there Let's see what we have so you have been and there are some Useful scripts that you can use you can add more It's ready for npm. We all love that stuff, right? You can start writing tests right away There is grant file. So grant was default Task runner for WordPress projects before Gutenberg Now with Gutenberg we get more webpack, but grant is still there. It's working I mean, it's not broken and in this grant file. You will find one task It will collect all your strings from plug-in and create pod file for translation so it's useful you can convert it to webpack if you want or you can just use it and add more tasks and I want to show you this read me file so I'm gonna open it in nano because we want to close it eventually and Yeah So this is not just an empty text file This is a template if you want to host your plug-in at WordPress.org This is what you need and you don't have to go to WordPress.org and search for the page where it says what you need It's already here. It already collected data I typed in while scaffolding and what you need is just just change what is unique for your own Plug-in you don't have to reinvent the wheel copy paste or whatever just to write what is unique to your situation And now let's create this plug-in right. We didn't created it to do nothing Let's do this so here is the The PHP comment that we all know and love and here we can start typing so always Prefix your functions. I'm gonna say the title and I'm gonna pass title Now you see spaces that is WordPress coding standards return always escape your strings and always prepare for translation now it's gonna say World Camp Netherlands 2022 My text domain is World Camp Netherlands and I'm just gonna append the title here This is our little function and let's hook it to a filter Called the title You all know what's gonna happen now, right and my callback is World Camp Netherlands The title Okay, let's hope it's working Yeah, save and if it doesn't work it doesn't matter we will fix it Here it is our plug-in and what this plug-in does is It will add World Camp Netherlands 2022 before every D-title occurrence and I'm so happy Menu is not that anymore. It was before and it was very annoying. So This plug-in was created in less than two minutes in terminal during live talk and it would probably Pass code review at WordPress.org not because this function is amazing and I'm great developer But because it has everything it needs and I didn't write any of those things. I didn't download I didn't copy paste it was there in my terminal one command one parameter that's all you need and you should use this to make yourself a Better developer better developers first because this is following all the standards and best practices at WordPress.org Advice but also you can just start Doing your project. I hate today when you have to set up project when there is npm And then you need two days just to set it up and there's always some error and Docker is insane So you need a lot of time with WPC li you can just do it Just run command and start doing what you want to do. So help yourself and now We've been talking for 39 minutes and didn't break anything. What it's WordPress, right? So let's break something Yeah, I'm gonna do a little nightmare just remove semicolon, right? And this is what will happen. There has been a critical error seriously What can I do with this? If this is production, you really don't want anyone to know that error But you want you to know the error and if this was production what you would do You would download everything and then try to reproduce it and then fix it and then put it back on Testing first to see if it's working and then on production. It's at least one day. Your website is not working But with WPC li you can run when there is error You can run any command I will run something with teams because that's the latest loaded, right? So I want to cover everything. I'm gonna say WP team List whatever it doesn't matter really all you need is your old WordPress to load and this is what happens Here is error that is useless that we saw on front-end But here you have the full PHP error. So there is syntax error. Yeah, blah blah It's something is missing and we are not expecting on line 18. So let's fix it I see everything. Where is the problem? So let's go there again and The line was 18, right Here it is. This was unexpected and this is missing. Okay, and Let's go back and it's fixed now in real world You will probably not fix it this fast because it wouldn't be that little error But you would be able to see where the problem is deactivate plug-in or whatever just Let the site to live and then fix it in your local take time and test it and then put it back So I think that's awesome Now it's time for little magic Yay I will go to my Magic folder It has nothing in there. So it's completely empty and we're gonna run WP install Database name is magic as you expected Of course So this I'm not gonna use Next next next site title magic and Ural as well is magic. It's not magic Admin it's cooking Hold on. It's cooking So do we want to release the Kraken? I Want to release the Kraken? Hi Kraken And this is our magic So it's just a WordPress website that we have installed Running the bash script So let me show you that bash script to see what's there. I'm gonna open it in sublime text editor It's in bin It's there. Okay So this is pretty simple bash script.  So first we download WordPress then we need to create config file and this is Just getting database credentials. So I know that do you see it? Do you want me to zoom it? See it? Okay So I know it will always be root user for database for my local and I'm collecting here Database password even though it's always the same. It's my root password But I don't want to have my root password anywhere in documents and I also don't want it to be in my bash History so what I'm doing here. I'm just using a basic bash scripting to to get the inputs hidden then I'm getting the database name and I really didn't have to do this because I have prompt so I wanted you to see here You can use prompt with partial input. You can define what you want or you can take it from another file You know, you can go creative there and for every other parameter. You can just say prompt whatever, you know I don't know. I will maybe change it in the future. Maybe not you can just say prompt, but what why I did Use this database name why I collected it Separately is because I never want to type again email for admin in my local So I'm using it to actually build email address for this admin. So After creating a config file what we need to do is install and you can see here I'm just like talking to myself.  You know almost there just one word and When installing WordPress you need again a number of parameters. I don't care to type I don't care to remind to remember what it is. I just can you know use it here and get my input With bear script. Now here is the rewrite command and I want you to take a look at This one. So this is the one we use to create a plugin and you will see here Maybe not it's too tiny, but there is index.php in URL and this website was also built with WPC li now that is because you Need to change permalinks, right and if we take a look this other one Magic that we created and we used script. There is no index.php In URL this is because we use this rewrite command to change permalink structure and I use hard Flag to just flush the rules So you need to be able to use rewrite command. You need to enable Apache modules Modry write and then you can do it for everything. So this is again configuration for WPC li in this computer, but all of that is in documentation and After that I have steam locomotive because it's fun This is something just Linux users do you know a little program and then toilet for coloring my Letters because we want color in terminal and then if I want to release the crack So this is actual script I use and I don't install WordPress every day So when I do I actually forget I have all of this and when I do I'm like, oh Crack and So if I want to release the crack and I can you I get Excal to say hi I'll be a crack and I can open Dashboard or I can have a wonderful day and this is just the beginning. So this is just installing WordPress You can add here any a set of plugins that you always do or you are always using one specific team Or you are always using Dutch language or anything that you are doing Specifically you can set it here and at the end you can run that script for dummy content. You can just Run one command and let it do you just you know take a coffee or tea and it's just Not repeating things not typing not memorizing Yeah, thanks. So I hope today you find Potential in WPC li for Everything you do and to make your work more efficient and More fun and more fast and my name is Milan. It's up. I am WordPress engineer at XWP. I'm the loudest member of WordPress documentation team I'm also classical musician. So if you want to talk about any of those things if you have any questions Just find me there. Thank you very much for your time
