Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Explore Graduate Studies in CSC. My name is Sanikol Abanovich and I'm an assistant professor at computer science and engineering department at the University of Michigan. And I will be your host today. Now, we're going to start, although I believe some are still slowly joining us. But we will make sure that they also get all of the information as they join. Now, I first want to say thank you all for joining us for this workshop today. It is really a great pleasure to see you. Normally, this workshop would happen in person at our Beister building that you can see on the slide. It would have an opportunity to spend a day at the University of Michigan, meet with faculty and students, get to know the campus and the city of Ann Arbor. Unfortunately, this year we're virtual due to the challenges that we're all facing. But I still hope that we're going to have a good program for you today. Before we welcome you all and tell you more about computer science and engineering department at the University of Michigan and this workshop, I just want to say that there are some links that we want to share with you. These are the links that you already received in your email, but I will paste them again in the chat right now. Out of these six links, the first three are highly relevant to today. The first one is the permission to record this workshop, this virtual workshop is being recorded. So please take a moment and fill out the first link, the form from the first link. And then today we're also going to have two panels that I'm going to talk about more in just a moment. And there are links to a Slido where you'll be able to ask some questions from our panelists. So throughout the day, please take a moment and fill out some questions. Because if you don't, then I will be forced to ask our panelists some really, really hard questions. So it's on you. Also, of course, during our panels, you'll have an opportunity to add questions to these links, and then I'll be able to ask those questions, our panelists. And then, of course, there are three additional links that we also prepared for you. One is a link to a virtual tour of both our campus and Arbor and the kind of research that we do, including student life. So you have also links to two vlogs from two of our graduate students that will help you give you a better idea of what graduate students do at the computer science and engineering department at the University of Michigan. So today, we have a few activities for you, all of them are virtual. First, during this welcome hour, I will tell you a little bit more about the research at CSC, student life, and also City of Ann Arbor, just to give you a bit of a preview. And then we'll take a break. During this break, you will have an opportunity to grab breakfast if you're somewhere on the west coast, lunch if you're on the east coast, and well, I guess any other meal if you're somewhere else in the world. But also, during that time, we will keep this Zoom meeting going. I will randomly split you into breakout rooms and give you an opportunity to, while you're catching a break, chat with your peers, with other attendees. I'll give you an opportunity to meet them just like you would had you been here in person at Ann Arbor. And then at 1pm Eastern time, all of these times are Eastern time, we will come back for a faculty panel where we will have five faculty join us and answer your questions. As I mentioned before, there is a link to Slido. It is a web application where you can ask your questions to our panelists, and then we will select questions and ask them, and then we'll have an opportunity to answer them for you. We will have a short little break between the faculty panel and graduate student panel, where again, I will try to split you in groups together with our panelists to give you an opportunity to briefly chat with them in smaller groups. After which we will move on to the graduate student panel, where I hope you will have an opportunity to ask your future peers and colleagues more about student life and anything that is relevant to being a graduate student. And then we'll take another short break, give you an opportunity to talk to our panelists again, but once we come back, we will actually go through steps required to apply to graduate school. And in particular, we're going to focus on some of the materials that you have to prepare and perhaps give you some tips and suggestions for how to prepare those materials. And then we're going to have some closing notes and of course give you an opportunity to ask any parting questions at that time. So as I mentioned before, in-person event would give you an opportunity to learn more about the research that we do from the researchers themselves, both faculty and students. Unfortunately today, you're stuck with me. So I will try my best to give you an overview of different research and concentration areas in computer science and engineering. Now, at CSC, the University of Michigan, we have almost, well, actually we have all subfields of computer science well represented. They're researchers in theory, systems, hardware, interactive systems, and AI. And actually the photo that you're seeing here is of Alex Halderman, one of the faculty and actually one of our lecturers who used to be his PhD student, working on one of the servers in our Weister building. Alex is one of the experts in the field of computer security in particular working on securing the elections. So any kind of technology used today to support our democratic process in the United States, a lot of it is based on technology, and Alex and his students and his research group are working hard to making sure that they address any kind of threats to that technology. At the University of Michigan, we have researchers who are working on novel ubiquitous computing hardware and devices who are creating some amazing technology, like the example that you see here of a wearable device that can be used for voice authentication. We have research in AI and machine learning that enable novel interactive systems, for example, advanced conversational computing systems. And as you can see, at CSC, it's not just the faculty and students. We also have extensive collaborations with the industry to enable this kind of technology and make sure that the work that we do has an impact outside of just academia. Researchers also look at the security of different hardware systems. So this is Professor Kevin Fu, demoing one of his creations in which they have shown that many of our existing hardware devices, especially medical hardware devices, are susceptible to attacks using nothing more than just sound waves. And perhaps you had an opportunity to also read about some of these stories recently about how some of the researchers and security from the University of Michigan CSC were able to break into Alexa, not just from sound waves, but also using lasers and other interesting technologies. Some of you interested in security might have also heard about different attacks on the Intel architectures like foreshadow. That is also work that has been done at the University of Michigan. There are many interactive systems that researchers at the University of Michigan create in various domains ranging from health, transportation, anything that improves the quality of life of the different people and their well-being. There's a focus on accessibility, not just in the classes that we offer, but also researchers who dedicate their research to this important topic. One of the examples that you're seeing here is an intelligent robotic wheelchair developed at CSC that can help with orientation and mobility for people who use these wheelchairs. It is actually a part of an accessibility class thought by Professor David Chesney, where every year students come together to solve real-life problems for people who are actually invited to present and tell students about the challenges that they face, in particular, accessibility challenges, and that the students come together and try to find innovative solutions to address those challenges. Of course, there's a lot of robots always moving around bicer building. There's a very strong robotics group. So the example here that you see is magic. It's a little robot that is exceptionally good at avoiding hitting people. And some of you might have seen interesting videos online of it trying to kind of find its way through a crowd of people walking and at times trying to run into it. It's a very, very funny video to see. And there are other examples as well. So this is odd job. It's one of the two robots that you will see either in different lab spaces or moving throughout the building. In this particular robot knows how to grasp objects based on their depth, based on its depth and color perception. And it's very interesting to see how it does that from a pile of different objects in front of it. So of course, that's just a small overview of some of the fun things that happen at the University of Michigan. I really invite you to look at the virtual campus tour link there among many videos. You will also see some examples, some demos of the research that happens at the University of Michigan CSC. And I hope that you will find some interesting things that perhaps you may want to work on in the future as well. Computer Science and Engineering department is located in the North Campus, one of three campuses at the University of Michigan. In particular, we are located at the bicer building that I already mentioned to you. This is a modern building that houses both faculty and graduate student offices, lab spaces, and different workspaces, lectures, and also large halls, presentation areas, and conference rooms. What you're seeing here is actually a photo of our weekly tea hour while we were still back at the bicer building before the pandemic, before we all started working from home. Here you can see students socializing on the third floor right there in front of our kitchen. So just looking at this photo makes me miss some of these events that we would normally have. If you were to climb to one of the terraces of our building, this is the view that you would see the view of the clock tower and just across this grove. There is the Deuterstadt Center, which houses a large library, many multimedia classrooms, even a maker space, and most importantly, a coffee shop as well. Right there next to it, we have the Pierpont Commons, where we have the cafeteria, campus computer shop. There's a bank, credit union, bookstore, and also areas for students where students can study, socialize, and so on. Now we are located on the North Campus, as I mentioned before, which is just a 15 minute ride, actually maybe more like a 10 minute ride on one of our Michigan blue buses, which are free to students to the central campus, which is actually located in downtown and in the center, and it has quite a bit to offer, both when it comes to different academic buildings, but also places where students again can come together and socialize. The two of you are probably aware that Michigan, University of Michigan is a huge sports, or that we are huge sports fans. So there's the usual coal go blue. The University of Michigan has not just the Michigan stadium, which is one of the largest stadiums for college football, but also stadiums for other sports, basketball, soccer, and many more together with a lot of facilities that support those sports, support the athletes, and also that can be some of them that are specifically for faculty and students to engage in and use. The University of Michigan has many libraries, all with access to students, and in addition to these different libraries, we also have museums. We have auditoriums. So if you're interested in these types of events and these types of activities, you will definitely not be lacking them. Of course, once we come back to our campus. And of course, there's a lot of buildings where we hold different events and host visitors. And visitors such as yourself if you were to come and visit us at some point. Now, as I mentioned before, University of Michigan campus is located in Ann Arbor, a small city that has quite a bit to offer. And again, I invite you to take a look at the link that we shared with you that highlights some of the interesting spots in Ann Arbor and things that you can do. And of course, I would invite you to ask questions about student life in Ann Arbor once we are all joined by our graduate student panel later in the day. But just as a just a few highlights. So Ann Arbor has a lot to offer like I mentioned, one of the things certainly are coffee shops. Now I can tell you that they're very good coffee shops and you can take my word for it because I am a bit of a coffee snob. And of course, there's a lot of entertainment. Restaurants shops. And of course, a lot of culture that that goes with living in a university city like Ann Arbor. We have farmers markets. Many shops, as I mentioned before, there's opportunities for a lot of outdoor activities as well at many, many parks that we have in Ann Arbor. We organize fairs throughout the year. And of course, those are usually in the city itself and open to everyone to attend. Of course, one of the important things for you are is probably student life. So in CSC we have a lot of student organizations. Some examples are a sample of CS ladies plus and all of these student organization organize their own events, try to raise awareness about the issues that they are interested in and how they're sold how they solve them. All of these organizations are kind of under the umbrella of CSIC or computer science and engineering graduate student organization, which all of the students are all the graduate students are part of once they join the University of Michigan. In spare time students also take part in many activities around the campus. Now I can't tell if this photo was taken during Michigan summer or winter. But you can also you can definitely see that there are some of these interesting activities outside in outside just outside of our biker building. Students take part in, you know, sports, they take breaks and play. They organize, they take part in organized activities. Most of these activities are organized actually by CSIC. Most of these social activities are social activities. For example, the weekly tea time that I've already mentioned before to you that actually now has a virtual instantiation of the event. While we are in the pandemic. There are many groups that come together and have fun activities like play games. And especially there is a special event. Every semester, we have a games class offered at computer science and engineering department where at the end of the class, all of the students all of the student groups that were part of the class they developed their own little games, and then they have an opportunity to present those games to everyone in CSC. So this is a game night that are organized in the biker building in a large dishman hole at the bottom of the building where students come together and they just have fun time playing the games that their peers created. So this was just a very, very quick overview of some of the fun things that happen at CSC, the research and the work that we do at CSC at the University of Michigan. Again, please, please take a moment and take a look at some of the links that we've that we've prepared for you. Now, we still have some time before we take our break. And I would like to take a moment and invite any questions from you from the audience. And try to answer them. And then, once we're done, we can take a moment break into smaller groups and allow you to also meet other participants in the workshop, until we then come back for our faculty panel. So please feel free to for now use the chat in zoom and ask any questions that you might have. Alright, so we have a question in chat. So how much is the stipend for CSC are a stease is their summer support and does the department offer fellowships. These are all excellent questions, and some of them I can, I can try and answer right away. Now, I just want to point out that we have two programs for graduate students master's program and PhD program PhD students do receive stipend. They are usually working as GSR as a graduate students research assistance when where they do research as part of their dissertation. And then they also have an opportunity to be a GSI so graduate student instructors, which gives you some exposure to teaching and experience that is exceptionally valuable, especially for those who are hoping to go into the academia after their PhD for master's students. These master's programs are what we what we say what we call terminal programs. They're the programs after which usually there's an expectation that master's students will go in the industry and currently there are no established stipends specifically for master's students, although some master's students are able to find GSRA positions and work with different research labs at at the university. And note here that the expectation is that master's students will mostly be focusing on the coursework. So there is no expectation that you must do research, but there are some opportunities at the same time there are also opportunities for fellowships. Some of them are at the department level. Some of them are from the industry from different foundations including National Science Fated Foundation and so on. We have a comment as well that says people already posted some questions in the faculty panel questions page. Thank you for that observation and thank you all who have already posted questions there. I would like to save those questions for our panel. And answer any questions that maybe I can, any administrative questions that I can answer while we are here, and then we'll leave others for the faculty panel to discuss. What is the best way to know whether a certain professor takes PhD students this year or not. So this is an excellent question for the faculty panel, but I will just answer this quickly for you. The best way is to try and contact the faculty directly. Of course, you know, everyone is busy, including you and the faculty, I know it's not easy to send these kinds of cold emails. But if you are able to structure email in a very nice way where you are able to describe your interest, where you're able to show that you understand the research interest of the faculty that you're hoping to work with. Then you will increase your chances to actually get a response, a response that will also include answers to these kinds of questions. So I'd say the best way to find that out is to contact our faculty directly. And actually, that is something that I would recommend all of you do after this workshop. Usually there would be some opportunities to meet directly with individual faculty during our workshop. That is not necessarily possible in a virtual format. But I did talk to a lot of my colleagues and a lot of them said that they would be happy to receive some of these questions directed at them and try and answer them that way. Okay, then we have a question that says approximately how long do PhD students in CSE take to complete their dissertation from the point that they start. So this is a very good question but a question that is fairly difficult to answer simply because there's a lot of differences between student dissertations. Some are able to complete it in a shorter period of time, some are able to complete it in a longer period of time and for those who take a little bit longer, there's no need to pass judgment. It could be just that the kind of topic that they tackle required more time. But I would say that the normally students take about five years to complete the PhD program, and again some take a little bit shorter, some take longer, and that is of course fine. Can you tell us a bit about your research and teaching at Michigan? Now, I am not sure if this is specifically about my own research and teaching or about research and teaching in general. I will assume that it's the broader question just because not everyone might have the same kind of interest that I do. I will just mention that I am a computer scientist with focus on research in human computer interaction or HCI, where I study how humans interact with technology and try to create innovative new designs that help people improve the quality of their lives and their well-being. But more broadly, like I said at the beginning, the research here at University of Michigan is very, very broad. We tackle every aspect of computer science and engineering, and in addition to that, we also have very, very close collaborations with other departments and schools within University of Michigan. Those include, for example, School of Information, which we have very, very close relationship with. A lot of faculty also work closely with Michigan Medicine and do a lot of work in the healthcare domain. We also have strengths in and connections with automotive industry, and then of course more broadly with other industries as well. When it comes to teaching, also I would like to point out that just like with research, with teaching, we cover every aspect of computer science and engineering, and there's a broad offering of courses in every what we like to call concentration area. So the five areas that I mentioned before, theory, AI, systems, hardware, and then interactive systems. And for each of those concentration areas, we have what we call breath courses, courses that give you an overview of those fields. So required as part of both master's and PhD programs. And then we have many different depth courses that go in depth in various often cutting edge subfields of computer science and engineering. In addition to that, you of course again have the opportunity to take classes from any of the other parts of the University and the other colleges and schools. In fact, not just that it's encouraged that there's a requirement that students should take a cognate course and get exposure to some of the interesting knowledge outside of just simply CSE research. Okay. I'm sorry I'm just going through some of these questions some of them are private and I will not automatically assume that I should read them directly, but I will try to answer once I answer all of the all of the other questions. How does the department help support students who are struggling to publish and or move to candidacy. This is a very important question, because it shows that, you know, we are in this together when we admit you into the program. Our goal is for you to be successful. Now, what we do is we do have what we call yearly reviews, which are not so much reviews of the student performance as much as opportunities for faculty to come together and look at ways in which we can support the students, even of course students, especially students who may be struggling, for example, and then try and find different strategies to help them. There are also many, many organizations, not just at the department level, but at the university level that can help both with, you know, technical skills side of things, help with writing, with communication to things like help students deal with mental health and some of the, you know, the pressures and the stresses that they might experience as part of their graduate studies. In addition to this, we provide financial support to all of the, guarantee financial support to all of the PhD students. And we also have a large number of faculty, which helps with any kind of issues that might arise or any kind of challenges. And students are working directly with their advisors and maybe the relationship is not working out. There are mechanisms that help students switch advisors, there's enough faculty in the department so that students actually have a choice if some of these previous relationships are not working out and so on. But thank you, that is an excellent question and actually I would invite you to ask that question again, both at the faculty panel and at the graduate student panel, because some of our faculty are actually involved in some of these initiatives. And of course graduate students would know very well what you're talking about because they're experiencing this as well. Is there any change in the application timeline due to the pandemic. I do not believe that there are specifically changes in the timeline itself, but there are some changes when it comes to relaxing some of the requirements. So like many universities out there, we do not specifically require GREs this year. But of course, there are still certain things that that we have to require, though they may be challenging to to to get this this year, one being for example recommendation letters. For non PhD students master's only. Is it okay to be still motivated by research at the University of Michigan and do they get a chance to work project with the professor who is working in that field. This is an excellent question. So, yes, the answer is definitely yes. A lot of our master's students are actually motivated by the cutting edge research that we do at the University of Michigan, not just to learn how to do some of these cutting edge things through classes but actually get involved with research and there are many opportunities from opportunities to do independent studies with different faculty where you can actually get credit for doing that research, but also as I mentioned before sometimes even in a relationship where you're working directly as a GSRA or graduate student research assistant. I had wonderful experience working with with many master's students and I have to say what one of my PhD students one of my current PhD students. I'm sorry, two of them were master's students, one at CSC one at EC at the University of Michigan, and they just simply then continued on with with their PhD and, you know, those are just two examples but there's there's so many examples of students doing that. So yes, this is this is, you know, not just welcome but also encouraged in many ways. I'm sorry I just need to keep track of the questions. May I ask when the faculty panel questions link will be closed I'm thinking of referring back to it later today. That is a very good question we will definitely have it open during the faculty panel. We obviously after the faculty panel is is done we will close it for additional questions but I will do what I can to make the questions still available to you. Of course, we're also going to make the recordings of this workshop available to you so you can refer back to some of these panels and actually not just hear the questions but hear the answers. Okay, somebody just thank you Sonya Sonya is one of our administrators working at the CSC graduate office who confirmed that December 15 is the deadline for PhD applications and January 15 for master's applications. All right, so we have another question here for someone who has been in industry for two plus years now and wishing to join the master's only program, which are our are preferred industry deck or academic, please ignore the So, I don't necessarily think it says please ignore it if we're going to talk about how to apply to graduate school I don't think we will specifically touch on this question simply because there's a lot of material we have to cover and a lot of tips to give you about specifically how to prepare materials. But I would say that you have, when it comes to opportunities to take classes that will prepare you both for for industry and for research, they exist out there actually in fact I would say that the way that our master's program is structure. The idea is that you will take, you will get some practical knowledge about computer science and engineering work that you will be able to take into the industry. So, that's definitely something that you will have an opportunity to do not not so much academic research, unless you choose to do so yourself right get involved in the research. Just short answer for that as well. Of course, I entered it already. Thank you. Perfect. Thank you Sonia. That's that's an excellent answer. Well, I'll try to answer a couple of more of these. We're coming close to the end of this. section. Will master program applications be at disadvantage if they don't submit gres course. No, we cannot say you're not required to submit gres course and then go back behind your back and count them and, and, you know, put you at a disadvantage. So no, we specifically do not ask for gres course this year. You are still, I believe, able to submit them, if you choose to do so. But, but like I said, there will not be a criteria this year. Our students from interdisciplinary. Sorry, this is a private question so I shouldn't have just assumed. If you do send private questions. Please send me another private message and let me know if you give me the permission to actually read the question out loud and answer it. Okay, I just got the permission. Thank you so much for that. Our students from interdisciplinary backgrounds accepted if they are interested in the HCI focus area for PhD, or is the expectation still that the students have a strong technical background. This is, this is a very, very good question and does not necessarily apply only to the field of human computer interaction or HCI, although HCI maybe is very, very interdisciplinary that way. I will say that there are some expectations that even if you don't necessarily have exceptionally strong technical background that you will be able to develop it. Especially because we want to make sure that that you are successful in the program, right. So, in CSE, the classes that you will be taking the research that you will be doing is highly technical, even HCI research is technical HCI research. And there the expectation is that you will be able to both study computer systems, but also design and create it. But we have many, many examples. I don't want to, I don't want my answer to discourage you because we have many examples of students who come from other fields and take the right kind of courses that you can for this kind of work. One of the students that just came to mind is a student who was a JD, had a law degree, and then decided to take the master's program here at CSE, get the background necessary to be able to do technical work and is now a PhD student at CSE. So, I hope that that answer your question to some degree. So, I don't think that you will be automatically at a disadvantage, but I know that the Graduate Admissions Committee always looks to make sure that that we are not setting up anyone for failure if we are not able to provide you with the education that will help you succeed. A couple of more questions due to the coronavirus pandemic. Oh, sorry, that's Sonya again, clarifying. Thank you Sonya. What is different for people applying straight from undergrad without any work experience or grad school experience. There are a lot of things that come down to the individual level, and we will talk a little bit more about this in how to apply to graduate school, how to call out some of these individual strengths that you have. Whether you are an undergraduate student, whether you're a student who had some additional experience either in the industry or graduate school experience, but it's really about finding ways to describe, persuade the Graduate Admissions Committee that you will be successful in the program, regardless of where you're coming from, right, what your background is and what are the kind of current opportunities that you were able to get. Because at the end of the day, graduate school, both Masters and PhD program, it's cool. If you already knew how to do everything that we teach you, you wouldn't have to come to school.  So instead, here, it shouldn't be the focus necessarily on have you already done everything that we expect from PhD students. The focus should be on why will the program, not just our program, but programs more broadly. Why are they, why will they give you the kind of knowledge that you need to accomplish your future goals? But I will talk a little bit more about this during the workshop itself. And please, you know, if I do not specifically touch on this question again, please remind me. Let me look through this very quickly because we only have five more minutes. There's another private question that again, I will just invite the person who posted it to tell me in another private message whether they're fine with me sharing this or not so I will move on. But can come back to that question if we have time. How many students does your department take for PhD programs? I assume that this is per year. So this is, we, there's a difference between how many admission offers we make versus how many students actually articulate or how many of them accept our offers. We tend to send about 100, a little bit over 100, a little bit over 100 admissions. I know this year it was around 100, maybe around 110. The year before it was around 120. And of course, the Sonya can, can correct me if I'm wrong in these numbers. Okay, we have a permission for one of these questions. So, while evaluating PhD applications are people coming from terminal MS programs at a disadvantage compared to students coming directly from undergraduate programs, or are there any different set of expectations. So, again, this is very specific to your case, I wouldn't say that there's anyone who is immediately at a disadvantage. You're all coming with different experiences.  So being able to clearly articulate those goals, and why a PhD or a master's program will help you accomplish those goals. And why you will be able to successfully complete the program is something that you should highlight based on the experiences and the background that you have. We do not put anyone at a disadvantage, simply because they, you know, took a master's program if anything, if you have a master's degree, you already have some additional experience that you can talk about and you can say why it prepared you for the PhD program.


Well, it's happening again. Israel has confirmed that they have bombed Gaza, breaking their ceasefire yet again. Now, this is a developing story. As I record this, the details are still scarce. Having said that, though, here's what I know at the time that I'm filming this. As ADA Plus reports, breaking Israel confirmed it launched airstrikes on occupied Gaza. The attack comes weeks after Israeli airstrikes in May killed over 250 Palestinians and hours after Israel allowed a far-right nationalist march in occupied East Jerusalem. Now, a lot of folks who don't necessarily follow Israeli politics too closely might be thinking, wait, I thought that Benjamin Netanyahu, who was like, the main problem is out. So they have a new prime minister so things in theory should get better, right? Well, actually, no, the new prime minister at best is as bad as Benjamin Netanyahu, but at worst is more extreme than Benjamin Netanyahu, a far-right extremist ethno-nationalist war criminal. Yeah, there's actually a bar lower than that. So as Ariel Gold of Common Dreams explains, after 12 years, Israel finally inaugurated a new prime minister. While being held by many as the opportunity for a fresh start, Naftali Bennett is at best a continuation of Netanyahu's policies and at worst, an ideologue whose positions are to the right of Netanyahu's. In 2013, as Middle East peace talks were set to resume after a five-year freeze, Bennett reportedly proclaimed to Israeli National Security Advisor Yaakov Amitdwar, I've killed lots of Arabs in my life, and there's no problem with that. In 2014, Bennett, who had previously been the director of Yesha Settlements Council, contradicted Netanyahu by asserting that all Jewish Israelis living in the West Bank, even those living in outposts that violate Israeli law, should remain under Israeli sovereignty and called for more settlement construction. This is the time to act, he said. We must continue building in all corners of the land of Israel with determination and without being confused. We are building and we will not stop. In 2016, as Israel's minister of education, Bennett called on Israeli Jews to give our lives to annex the West Bank. While this might seem relatively innocuous, it was not. Bennett's remarks invoked cahanism, a Jewish supremacist ideology based on the views of Rabbi Mir Qahane, that calls for violence and terrorism to be used to secure Israel as an ethno-nationalist state. In 1994, Israeli settler and Qahane follower Baruch Goldstein massacred Palestinians in the West Bank Ibrahim Mosque. In 1988, the Koch Party was banned from running for the Israeli Knesset. In 2004, the U.S. State Department labeled Koch a terrorist organization. Sunday, June 13, 2021, right before he was inaugurated to replace Netanyahu as the Prime Minister of Israel, Bennett doubled down on his anti-Palestinian views, proclaiming that his government would strengthen settlements across the whole of the land of Israel. So if you thought that things were going to get better, unfortunately, that's not the case. Again, at best, this is a continuation of the status quo, but things could deteriorate further with this extremist. And really the only check on his power is he has to hold together this really broad coalition of parties. Otherwise, he's not going to remain in power. So he does kind of have that check on him. But this individual is an extremist. He's not just an ethno-nationalist, but he is deeply theocratic. And he really revealed how theocratic he is in a 2017 interview with Mehdi Hassan that Mehdi shared the other day. And this is honestly, it's astounding that this person is now the Prime Minister. You're not carving out your own country. You're withdrawing from occupied territories which everyone in the world, including Israel's own Supreme Court, regards as occupied territory. That's the problem. You can't carve out stuff that's not your own. Mehdi, I guess what you need to do is go back and change the Bible. You need to change the narrative of the Bible because it's all there. Is Israel a theocracy? Is Israel a theocracy? Is it a religious state? Why are you quoting the Bible to me? I'm quoting the Supreme Court of your country. Hold on, the Supreme Court of your country. Let me finish. Let me just put the Court of the Supreme Court to you and then you respond. You're finding the Judea and Samaria areas are held by the state of Israel in belligerent occupation. That is the view of the Supreme Court of your country. Are you saying the Bible trumps your Supreme Court? Is Israel now a theocracy? Let me finish. Billions of Muslims and Christians believe in the Bible. I assume including yourself. I don't know. If you want to say that our land does not belong to us, I suggest you go change the Bible first, come back and then show me a new Bible that says that the land of Israel doesn't belong to Jews. Well, I mean this book with talking snakes and other mythical creatures, you know, three-headed beasts, it says that Israel belongs to us. So sorry, Palestinians.  It's just, it's shocking. Like extremist after extremist keeps getting elected. It's not just a trend in Israel. I mean, we see Bolsonaro in Brazil, Trump in the United States, Modi in India. There are extremists all around the world who are emerging. But you know, for a situation that's as volatile as this, as sensitive as this, you need someone who isn't as much of a provocateur. I mean, I don't know what the right word is to use. Netanyahu should be in prison for the rest of his life. And this is the individual who critiqued Netanyahu because he wasn't extreme enough. The situation is just bad and we're seeing that things aren't changing already. The ceasefire is broken.  I'm sure hopefully this isn't going to be a prolonged bombing campaign. But all I know is that the situation is tragic and just more will continue unless the U.S. government stops defending the stops being complicit in these crimes against humanity.


How's it going Forex shoulders? Welcome back to yet another amazing video from yours truly, Dapper Willis. Now guys, today we have yet another version of Trader Talk.  Trader Talk is basically a segment of my YouTube channel whereby I come on here and put to practice everything you've learned in the Forex market. Yes, all the trend lines and Fibonacci and everything you've been learning so far. I come on my charts and I show you guys how to use it in the most realistic way to ultimately want extra consistent profit from the market. Yes, that's what Trader Talk is all about. Now guys, before I dive into my charts, a couple of things I wanna share with you guys. First things first is the fact that I'm in Lagos, Nigeria and this is exactly why I'm so excited. I am back in my motherland. Yes, I came to see my family. I haven't seen them for two months. Well, I miss some. You guys who've been following me the longest know that I'm predominantly Nigerian although I live most of my life in the UK. However, I'm back home and then once I'm back in Dubai, I'll be flying over to London to also see my other side of the family who is also in the UK as well. But for now, I am in Lagos, Nigeria and I am loving it, okay? So that's one thing. The second thing I wanted to share with you guys is the fact that I placed a trade on Friday. First of all, congrats. If you're a Forex Mastery student, if you're watching this right now, give yourself a round of applause because guys, I have been seeing the screenshots of the redraw. One guy sent me a $15,000 redraw. He showed me the redraw thingy, 15K just by being a Forex Mastery student, just by consuming my content.  I love you guys very much. What makes a teacher happier than to see his students make a lot of money? I'm saying people are paying school fees. I know I keep saying this on my videos, but every single week you guys keep blowing my mind. So I wanted to say shout out to you guys and shout out to everybody who's following me on Instagram and Twitter. My Twitter just hit 10,000 followers right about now. I can be quite a menace on Twitter. I'm always coming for people. If you follow me on Twitter, you'll have a laugh. And I feel like Twitter is a space whereby I can just basically interact with everybody and have a lot of fun. But anyways, that's by the way. I placed a trade on Friday. AUDUSD has gone on to drop over 120 papers between when I placed the trade and today which is Monday morning. Now, what am I trying to say in essence? Guys, when I was placing this trade on Friday, I was thinking to myself, I feel bad for placing the trade without actually coming on YouTube to actually tell you guys about the trade because you guys are somewhat my responsibility, right? I want to decision away by when I'm making money, you guys are making money as well. Now the only way for us to combat and tackle this issue is for you guys to actually be students of the Forex Mastery program. Why? Because I noticed something. So even before I placed those trades on Friday on AUDUSD, Forex Mastery students were already predicting the same thing I was predicting as well. So what that simply told me was that they can see what I'm seeing and guys were up 120 papers this morning. So I've made money and so have they.  The link is always around here somewhere so that whenever it is I'm placing the trade in private and I don't have the time to come on YouTube, you guys are also profiting from the trades as well because why? You guys understand the way that I trade. The Forex Mastery teaches you guys all of this. This way, like I said, you don't have to wait for me. Let's wait for that. But will you get yourself the program so that you can be ahead, okay? So that you can start redrawing US dollars from your bank account and I'm going out there to take care of your family, okay? So that you can be splashing and flying private jet and traveling business class and doing all the amazing things you want to do. Once again, the link to the program is somewhere around here and I noticed that Nigerians are having issues purchasing programs. So we put a pay stack link so that you can pay in your local currency but if you're from anywhere around the world, anywhere it is, anywhere else, the US, UK, whatever, just go and pay in US dollars. The link is gonna be right there. Only Nigerians should use the pay stack link because like I said, they're having challenges. You know it's not easy in Africa, okay? So I have to make provision for everybody as well. So once again, I love you guys very much. Let's jump into the charts. Let's see what's cooking. I actually have some traits for you guys. GBPUSD is about to collapse on his bloody head, man. You guys type redraw down below. If you take GBPUSD short after this video, you're gonna make some money. So stick around to the very end of this video so that you guys can get to understand what I'm looking at in GBPUSD and ultimately make some money. All right, guys, now let's go. How's it going, traders?  Okay, so I'm doing this from my laptop, right? I'm usually used to doing this from my iMac in my office in Dubai, but the screen looks a bit smaller, but I mean, we can definitely make this work, right? So once again, guys, welcome inside of my screen. It's amazing to have you guys here. I haven't dropped the video in maybe about 10 days now because actually what happened was, guys, before I do anything, okay? Before I say anything else, if you haven't subscribed to the YouTube channel, do it right now, okay? Because the problem that I have with most people is as at the time when these videos drop, you guys only get to see much, much later, right? You guys only get to see much, much later, but if you're subscribed to the channel, you guys get the instant notification. So I'm gonna give you five seconds to smash the subscribe button right there. Smash it, five, four, three, two, one. There you go, okay? So once again, guys, welcome inside of my screen. So without any further ado, let's jump into the charts. So the very first thing I wanted to speak about is AUDUSD. Now, why do I want to start from here? I want to start from here because I'm actually short at the moment, okay? And by the time I scale to a lower timeframe, you get it. But look at what I wrote here. 1,000 pip drop. 1,000 pip drop. I remember when I predicted this movie was two trailer talks ago. I said the market was gonna drop for 1,000 pips. We're technically almost there. So just to show you guys that I can see into the future. When it comes to forex, right? I can see into the future. And guys, I use the most basic concepts. You know, like people keep asking me, like why do you keep talking about the forex mastery program? Because it is the only, well, I won't say only, but the most realistic approach to this market. I called a 1,000 pip drop from here. We're already 60% through the move. As you can tell, we're already going to come here. So I can see 1,000 pips into the future. So I'm saying to myself, why don't I put together something that can actually help all? Because I notice all the guys, 95% of the trailers that I come across always have one story or the other. How they've tried forex, it didn't work out for them last day, last day, last day, all of that, right? So I said to myself, why don't I put something together that can actually help people make money in this market? I cannot use this by myself. Do you know what I mean? Like I'm making all this money. I got money, you know what I'm saying? So I decided to put together a program which was the forex mastery program and said to myself, you know what? Initially it was free, but my team was like, so you can't give away this information for free, right? So we decided to put it at a very reasonable price, you know, put a reasonable price tag to it, which was $99 and we put it, you know, for everybody to have. You know, so me putting it at $99 and me always talking about it, it's just basically me coming here to help the forex industry, right? I'm here to help the forex industry. And the way I talk about it, people think, oh, this guy just here to sell courses.  By the time I'm done analyzing this market, by the time you guys are done making money from this market, you know that Dapo Willis is the real deal and that he's actually here to help you guys. So once again, guys, get the forex. So I have no ad. I would tell you because it's the best. I put it together. I know my onion.  I predict 1,000 pips into the market. And if you wanna be able to do this, you have to grab the program. There are not two ways about it. I'm not here to sugar-coat anything. I don't care what anybody says. They can say he's selling courses. Guess what?  Are you joking? So who's gonna be at a disadvantage? Or the guy who didn't buy the course? I don't care. You know what I'm saying? So enough of all of that. 1,000 pips drop. How did we get to this point? Why did I know? How did I know the market was gonna drop 1,000 pips? Very simple. But only the forex mastery students who understand once again. But let's go. Let's help the people who are still being stubborn about this who don't want to use their number six to join the program. What do we do first forex mastery students? We go on the monthly timeframe. We see what exactly is happening. We look at the flow of the river. You see, AUD-USC has been flowing south for a long time. So the ideology is for us to come on a higher timeframe, identify the direction. Once we get a higher timeframe direction, whoop, the rest is history. We predicted this collapse of 1,000. This is not the first time we're getting a 1,000 pip move on AUD-USC. We took it, we bashed it to the downside. This was when the street happened, and this was during the, you know that thing that happened where everybody had to stay in the house, right? So we dropped the market on it's head. Even when the market started going up, it got here, we jumped up, we took it all the way to the downside. We even dropped it back down here, and now we're dropping. So in total AUD-USC over the last 24 months, I've probably netted 3,000 plus pips. Easy. Since the time that, you know that thing that happened that made everybody stay at home, you know that thing, between that time and today, maybe 3,000 plus pips on AUD-USC. Bringing it down, taking it all, bringing it down, even bringing it lower. Anywhere. If the market wants to go like this, we are here, anywhere. We see it, we see it, okay? So at the moment, what do we see? So monthly timeframe is sliding to the downside. I came on the monthly timeframe and I said, well, the touch of this trend line is indicating further downside. If we break 0.700, which is a round number, where is the next available target? 0.600, it is between two spaces, between two major zones. Don't forget, the market moves between zone to zone. We move what? Between zone to zone. So once we can identify a particular direction, then we come and look at these zones in which they are in. Once we're able to break into or break below a particular zone, the next level zone is gonna, mostly gonna be our next level target. So between these two zones is where you now look for trading opportunities. So once we're done with that, what do we do? We come on a weekly timeframe to see what exactly is happening. Guys, my internet is a bit slow. You know me, right now I'm in Africa, man. So I love my motherland any day, any time. But you know how you get some time, man. The internet can be a bit iffy. Just by looking at it, guys, you can tell that the where is the market coming to next. Here is so simple and straightforward to all that I needed to do. It's come under the four hour timeframe. It's so simple and straightforward, guys. I'm telling you, making money in this market is so easy. When you know how, when you're a Forex Mach 3 student, it's easy. Guys, sorry, it's taking a bit of time, but while the charts are loading, I get to gist with you guys because I missed you guys very much, you know? I've been traveling and guys, you know, in Africa when you have money, everybody treats you like a king. Everybody treats you like a king. Not just in Africa, but everywhere in the world.  Sorry, guys, I think, I don't know why my daily chart isn't losing. This is a bit embarrassing. Just give it some time. I need to switch internet connections shortly. All right, guys, hold it right there. Let me, okay, it's done already, all right. But after this, I'm gonna switch my internet connection so that we can have, you know, this thing doesn't delay. So what exactly happened? How did I perceive this market? So once we broke below this blue bar right about here, remember the previous analysis, I just simply drew a support level, which was here. Okay, temporary support level. Okay, and you guys know my entry. I like Forex Mastery Students module five, talks about my entries and exits. Long story short, I shorted this market from here. My first level target was what here? My overall target is down here. Now, short the market here. First level target always at the 100% retracement. As the market dropped, got here, I moved my stop losses from that one above here, all the way to break even, and then I closed out 50% of my trade. Now I said, because at this point, the market can do anything. And look, the market did attempt, if not that this market was in the downtrend, we would have rallied all the way back to the upside, but the higher timeframe always wins, right? So we continue pointing lower. We broke lower all the way to the downside, and then we started to have some form of a consolidation around here. Now I keep telling you guys, don't forget, I still have 50% of this trade open. My overall target is here. So you do the math. I am on course for a thousand pips. Although, not the same amount of lot size that I entered the trade with, but trust me guys, half of what I have left is still a lot.  One thing about this game is, don't rush, don't be in a hurry. Look at when we started dropping all the way to the downside. Everybody's like, oh my God, I'm gonna miss it. No, no, the market, if the market is gonna drop a thousand pips, it best believe it's not just going to fall out of the sky. It will come to a point whereby it will consolidate. Last week, over the last 10 days, the market, so this is a daily timeframe. So if I do one, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, so for the last nine days, we've pretty much been consolidating. Now, because of the fact that I have the advantage of looking at things from a higher timeframe perspective, once again, shout out to the Forex Mastery students who are able to zoom out. The advantage of the Forex Mastery program is it allows us to see everything. So over the last nine days, when traders were blowing their accounts, we were not trading because we knew that the market was, because for every major move, there must be a consolidation. In fact, before the market even, I already said to myself that between here and here, there must be a consolidation. So even before the consolidation happened, I was expecting it, okay? I'm not here to brag, but I'm here to brag because I cannot have all this information at my, do you know what it is to be able to predict this market is my ATM machine, okay? It is my ATM machine. Any day I wake up and I don't have money and I wanna make money, not to say I wake up and I don't, but in the event that maybe God forbid anything happens, I could wake up one day and open up this thing. I will be a millionaire by the end of the month. That is a very liberating feeling, okay? So for those of you guys who want to be able to have that kind of liberating feeling, get the program. I will keep telling you, get it. The link is in the description or around here. There's no, I mean, two ways about it. You have to get it if you want to stay ahead. Long story short, this consolidation, I told traders on Twitter, I said, I like consolidations. Why? Because consolidations give people, people get scared when they see pullbacks. I am happy when I see pullbacks because pullbacks give me a chance to jump into the market again. So apart from this trade that I have, which is 50% open, I've not been able to jump on another one, I'll put a screenshot. I've not been able to jump on another one, which is about here, which, oh my goodness, sorry. Which is about here, which would eventually be able to help me catch the remaining, you know, bearish move all the way to the downside. So long story short, without any further ado, AUDUS's next level target is 0.600. This is the next major support level, if you look left. Good, next major support level. And also, this is a what, a round number. This is what a round number. So I'm gonna be watching this trade as we make our way to the downside. I'm gonna be locking in my profit. I've actually locked in my profit at about 0. I'm gonna drop a screenshot here as well so that you guys can see exactly how I'm trading. So it's so simple and straightforward, right? I can't share my entry and exit strategy with you guys because that is proprietary to the Forex Mastery Program. But as you can see, I am currently short in this market as we speak. You never know. All right guys, so sorry about that.  So this is a lower timeframe, what it looks like. I'm expecting this guy to bleed further to the downside. I have no doubt in my mind we're gonna come lower. So enough about AUDUSD. Let's jump onto the Euro to see what exactly is happening. I wanna touch some pairs pretty quickly, okay? I have some juicy stuff for you guys. I wanna touch some pairs pretty quickly. So I'm changing internet connection. Everything seems to be moving pretty fine. What happened to all my drawings? Oh my goodness. All right guys, so since the drawings are off, let's quickly do a quick analysis and then I want you guys to see how quickly you can do an analysis once your drawings are here. Just took some time to come up. Simple, easy stuff, guys. Simple, easy stuff. So for the Euro is pretty simple. I mean, next level target for, I already told you guys that next level target for Euro is 0.9500. I told you, I called it here live on DapSea Radio, okay, even before we're coming all the way down here. We have actually hit that region. But what exactly is happening to the Euro? I will not be surprised if we see a reversal on the Euro at 0.9600, right about here. But however, before a reversal will happen, I'm expecting a double bottom. So this guy would see, guys, let me explain something a little trick about Forex, right? The market doesn't just reverse. This is what a lot of people fail to realize. It will give you clues. Let me give you an example. You see, for this bullish engulfing candle to form right about here, if you go and check, now I don't have the time to go and check, I haven't checked, but I can bet you nine out of 10 times. In order for this bullish engulfing candle to form and for this reversal to happen out of here, if you go and check your four hour, one hour or 30 minute timeframe, you would have seen this is definitely a double bottom on a lower timeframe. What am I trying to explain here? What I'm trying to say is, before the market will reverse, it will give you clues. So that trade you want to place, don't be scared. If the market stops you out, you are just playing wrong. Don't say, oh, the market reversed on me. If the market wants to reverse, the market will almost certainly give you a double bottom or a double top.  I can smell a potential reversal around here.  However, we will first of all come to support level. It needs to come, it will tell me. Say, Mr. Dapsey, I wanna reverse. And how does he tell me he wants to reverse by a double bottom? When the euros spun around here, I knew it was gonna spin around here. First of all, because my blue bar was already here. Secondly, on a lower timeframe, I started to see rejection around this region and then a double bottom formation on like a four hour or one hour timeframe. Now, when you see a chart reversal pattern or at a major level, pay attention to it. And then I saw this bullish engulfing candle. Of course, I knew a retracement was going to happen. And what did I do? I stayed away from the market. Although I knew the overall timeframe was coming down. However, I said it is time for a retracement. Let us see what happens. And truth be told, we pulled back into this region. This is actually a 50-fibonacci pullback. This is known as the wheelie zone. Very clear-cut thing that happened. A, B, C, D, who come and complete down here first. If we take out 0.9600, next level target will be down here. 0.93 for which I'm not quite certain we might get there. Because if I, well, I don't know how far this thing wants to break lower. I don't even know. The honest truth is we're currently trading in no man's land. So it's difficult for me to actually say, well, the honest truth is if we break 0.9500, guys, the next level target from what I can see if I clone this will be about here, okay? Which is open, not 0.8500, okay? So we might definitely see a black bar somewhere in the middle, which is here. So usually what tends to happen in between two major zones, there will always be that strong guy. It's usually a black line there. That black line, pay attention to it. Because as you can see, the black line between these two major zones, the market respected it. As you can see, we were coming down here, but we came and played around it. It acted as some form of a resistance around here, even pulled back into here properly before we started to drop all the way to the downside. So Forex Mastery students, you know how to plot your black lines in between two major levels. It's on the Forex Mastery program, use of Fibonacci to calculate the difference between the two levels, drop it right there in the middle. You know what I mean. I can't really expose everything right about here. So if we're able to break here, okay? I would be expecting this market to break here and come back to this black bar somewhere around here. But I don't really know. I'm not really sure. I can't say for certain. This is a major level. So price action at this level will really dictate what is going to happen. Unfortunately, the euro has left the station. Ideally, my entries would have been somewhere about here. My entries would have been somewhere about here, okay? Should adjust this. My entries would have been here and my level targets would have been here. Although, like I said, get the Forex Mastery program so that once this trade is happening, you don't have to wait for me to release the video. You can make money. And then when I come on the channel, we can then discuss things in detail, right? Get the program. The link is gonna be in the description as always, okay? So I can tell you for a euro, you will see next level target, 0.600. That's enough for the euro. So the major support level is gonna tell us what's going to happen if we break it, we come here. If we stand here, reverse out to the upside. So that's the euro. If you're short, take out your money here. We've done Euro, AUD, USD. Let's talk about GBP USD because this is the only pair at the moment that we can potentially jump into. So the aggressive traders are already short. I'm not exactly an aggressive trader. Traders who are short are already short from here. I'm a conservative trader. So I must consider this week as well, okay? I will be shorting this market by the end of today. Once I'm done recording this video, I need this market to break this level about. For me to sell GBP USD, we will need to take out this bar about here, okay? We're currently testing this bar at the moment. If we can break here, I'm just gonna make this a bit smaller. Give me a sec guys. I'm just gonna make this a bit smaller so that it doesn't look like the level is as big as it claims to be. I will make this a bit smaller so that we have some space. And I'm just gonna extend this to the right hand side and then we come on. Guys, you see, so simple. So simple. So simple. So, so simple. Simply and shorty. Adjust this a bit lower for this bar there. Take it to the right hand side and there we go, okay? So I just come back to the daily timeframe. Good so that you see everything is looking very sweet and nice. Everything is looking very sweet and nice. So GBP USD is so simple and straightforward. Next level target for GBP USD, if we break our current level, our current target, if we break our current minus support at the moment, next level target will be 1.0700. I'm not short at the moment. I will be waiting for a clear break. Short positions will come beneath here. My stop loss is above here. And then if I just bring this a bit lower somewhere around here, this will be my next level target, right? So my stop losses I did. So this risk to reward isn't so great, but what I'm going to do here is something very simple. Let me teach you guys a trick. So a lot of people don't really like, they say, oh, Mr. Willis, we don't like trading on higher time frames because I don't have the capital. First of all, you don't need a lot of capital to trade this. The issue is what is your risk in, what is your risk in ratio to your capital? Think about it. If you have a $500 account, all you need to, and you know that your stop loss is pretty wide, reduce your risk. Yes, that's all it takes, reduce your lot size. If you have a lot size, let's say 1.00 now, let's say 100 pips of 1.00 now, maybe it's for the sake of calculation. Let's say 100 pips of 1.00 now is $10,000. And you have a $10,000 account. Why would you use 1.00 lot size for a trade that has a 100 pips stop loss? No, you reduce it to either 0.3 or 0.2 so that you can accommodate that trade and still keep your risk relatively low. That's how you do it. So this way, even if it's a $10,000 account, $1,000, all you need to do is reduce your lot size so that you can have a wider stop loss. And now you're probably saying to yourself, the second thing I get is, okay, but the risk to reward is not all that. First of all, I would rather have a smaller risk to reward as long as I'm profitable, as long as I'm guaranteed to make money, this is what a lot of people don't realize. I would rather make 3%, 6%, 10% of my account as long as it is guaranteed. Now, there's even another way to go about that. I'll teach you guys. Should I share it here on YouTube? I should probably keep it for the... How can you ensure that even trades that have a wide stop loss, you still make a lot of money from it? How can you turn a one to one risk to reward to a five to one? I will update that on the Forexmastery program. Forexmastery students remind me about that. I can't share that here. Anyways, long story short, I will be making, I won't just be making a 1.5 to one on this trade. Best believe not, there's something else I'm definitely going to add to this equation to make sure that I am still able to make more money between here to here. You see, the idea behind all I'm trying to teach you guys here is this, I like to find space, guaranteed space of market movement, a vacuum that I know the market is definitely going to move. Once I can find that space, I cannot enter that space. And whatever strategy I decide, I use it and I trade in the direction in which the market is going to flow within that space. And in this case, it wants to come lower. Rules of engagement, we need to break this yellow bar. So, GBPUSD, we have a potential 1.04 to 1.0, 1.1. Oh, but it's looking serious. So is this like an 800 people? No, no, no, I need to calculate this thing properly. So this is 106 and this is 61. Wow, that's a huge drop. Am I seeing like a 300 people drop? Is that what GBPUSD is telling me? Well, 300 people drop, man. You guys, you know what was funny here? So I've been selling GBPUSD, I've been predicting the collapse. You guys know I broke this market down. I broke this market on his head down. You know what's funny? I've been shutting GBPUSD and I've been shutting GBPUSD, but then I forgot, I mean, I love money shutting GBPUSD without a doubt. But guys, see the silly thing I did? I forgot that I had physical pounds in my UK bank account. So while I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, shutting it, making money, I actually forgot that I actually had physical pounds telling in my UK account. So by the time I realized I was like, okay, let me quickly now change it and transfer it to dollars. Before I used to have 1,000 pounds before it was $1,400. Now 1,000 pounds is 1,100 dollars, can you imagine? 1,000 pounds before it was $1,500. Now it's only $1,100. So I have definitely, that change in price has definitely affected my physical pounds cash, but I just look at it on the bright side, I made a killing shot, shutting GBPUSD. It was a silly mistake for me anyways. These things happen, guys. It happens, you know. So it's one of those things. So guys, that's GBPUSD in a nutshell.  Once we enter, I'll be updating you guys on my Twitter page. Next thing I want to talk about is gold, right? So gold's very similar situation. Yeah, now guys, gold, hmm. Few of our gold had didn't. We shorted gold here, we were expecting it to come out of the way down here. Baba came here and started reversing for no reason. But guess what, guys? It's cool because all we did was we zoomed out. All we did was what? We zoomed out. People were like, go do it. They're like, we just zoomed out. Last, last, what happened? The thing, all gold just wanted to do was just to pull back into trend line. That's all. Third touch, and this is the third touch of the trend line. But gold is coming down to 1.61430. Take it from me. So I got Dafts International, Dafts Radio. Gold is coming down to 1.614.  That Dafts only said that gold is coming down to 1.614.30. What? You want to play with the third touch of the trend line? Actually, this is not the third, this is the fourth touch. But inshallah, we'll come down. We'll come down. Guys, you see how fun it is trade forex market if you know how to do it. So I'll be shorting gold at the daily candle close today. Actually, I need this market to do something for me. I need you, Mr. Gold, this is a black bar. I need gold to close below this black bar, okay? Close below this black bar. My first level target would be here. So my short positions would be somewhere about, let me show you short positions here. First level target, 50% retracement. Take out 50% of my position. My overall target for gold is actually 1534, okay? This doesn't look like a big risk to reward, but like I said to you guys, first of all, getting on the bigger risk to reward, getting on the small one to two, one to three. Once you have gotten in, once you have gotten in, cool. Locking that first trade, locking the move your stop losses past break even. Now you have money to execute a second trade. So within this move now, I will now look for another trade and jump into that trade, which will now ultimately increase my risk to reward. I don't know if I'm making any sense. So I will have two trades within a particular move. I will first of all go into the first trade conservatively because my primary focus is capital preservation. Getting to the trade first of all, once I get into the trade, then once the market now starts to show me profit I now have the financial leverage. I have the financial authority. I now have the psychological authority. Now my mind is at peace because the first trade is already in profit. Once I'm able to lock in the first one, then I can now look to enter the second one, which will now have what a smaller stop loss but a wider take profit region. It's usually the second one that I make a lot of money off of, but the first trade is for me to just, you know what I'm saying? I don't want to say I don't want to enter, you understand? Let me just enter because the honest truth is, I mean my executions are on four hour time frames and sometimes I get if, sometimes I don't like to use, sometimes I have a clear 10 to one risk to reward but sometimes my risk to reward is three to one, two and a half to one, but it is guaranteed. So I take them and then I just say, well as the market is coming down towards my take profit, you understand? As the market is coming down to my take profit, hopefully I find another, hopefully I find another entry that I can potentially use to now add to my existing trade provided that that first trade, my stop losses have been moved to what break even.  So it's very simple. Now some of you are asking, why didn't you sell inside here? Why didn't, no. I like to wait for a bounce off of resistance and you can see this black bar, let me tell you, this black bar is the range of, this is the bottom of the range between this blue and this black. We can easily stand on this black and fly back up and say, good, can just be like, I've gone back to a range. So I need the market, so the market went back into the range to test the range. Now anytime the market goes back into a range to test the range, don't sell inside that range. Wait for the market to come back out or I'm begging you people in the name of God. Wait for the market to come back out of the range because that market can get to the bottom of the range and turn around. That's what I'm saying. I'm waiting for daily candle close. I don't care how much you want to reduce my risk to reward. My only is I want a guaranteed trade. I won't say because I want to get in early. I will now get into a trade whereby, you know, the market now and I'm not able to sleep well at night. Show me a very clear court scenario and I will trade it. But when you're not sure, then I'm going to leave you alone. So once again, guys, GBP USC is lining up any moment from now. Daily candle close, four hour candle close. Once we finish New York session, I usually like to trade Monday evenings because usually in the morning, the market is a bit shaky. Usually tend to have a lot of pullbacks. By the Monday evening, that's when the market is ready to Monday. All the profit taking from Friday adjustments from the weekend and everything has taken place, you know, London and New York session on Monday. By the time we're closing for the New York session, is when I will now say, okay, the market is now settled and now has a proper direction. That's when I'll jump on it. So daily candle close and I'm good to jump on these sell trades. I'm already short AD USC. So once again, guys, gold. You heard it here first on DapSea Radio. Next level target for gold, 1.614.30. We break that. We have next level target at 1.534. Once we're able to do that, I'm good. I'm done. As we speak at the moment, we are currently at, we are currently, earlier on maybe two months ago, we were up 68% when I did an interview with Jeffrey Benson. But right now the dollar is trending. We are currently up I think 112%. If these trades pick up the way they should pick up, I'll probably for the year I'll probably, I'll probably close this year with about 160%. Return on investment, which is wild. My investors will love me. They thought they loved me when I was up 64, 60, 68%. They thought they love me. By the time next time I'm getting on private jet back to Doha, the results will blow their mind. They've been sending me emails. Hi, Chris, you're probably watching this video. Chris is the chief investment officer for the hedge fund that I trade for. He watches all my video. Chris, once again, thank you guys for the opportunity.

I'm finally bleaching my own hair. This is what I got from a developer. This is the bleach. I did get two packets of these because the lady was like, just get two, just in case. Two? What do I recommend? 10 to you. You look, you have not fine hair and not totally thick, thick hair. But two, y'all are always buying those little packets. Get the bucket.  It's definitely happened to me before, multiple times. The toner I got, it was T18. Okay, so I'm supposed to do, I'm like, one packet of, and then two ounces of developer. I don't think 20 volume is gonna be enough for her hair. I definitely would have used 30. Unless she's using foils, then you can get away with 20 volume, but her hair is dark. It is like a level five, four, which is gonna make it more difficult to lift to a level 10. It's just gonna be a lot if it's not done right. So we're gonna pour the bleach in. Okay, good consistency. It's that nice thick consistency that we like for open air processing. That way things don't dry out as fast. It's not too thick. It's not too watery. It's like good in between. Okay, so I'm about to apply bleach to my hair. I'm gonna start from the back, work my way forward, only on the roots. Okay, she's gonna start from the back and work her way forward. Great, I'm into that. But we're gonna start on the roots. No, do the opposite of that. Start on your mids. This is one way of doing it, you know? Yes, okay, great. This is bad. Okay, there's a lot to unpack right now. Because that was atrocious. I think you guys are playing me at this point. I could section my hair out better with just these two fingers. I don't know how this ends up like this.  Or use a comb, like a tail comb. Or even the back of a brush. But you know, we first have to take thinner sections.   And oh, this is one of the worst applications I've ever seen.  As you can see for just two minutes, this has developed so much. The amount of overlapping going on. When you are retouching your roots, you want to be so sure that you are not overlapping onto the already blonde bits. Because what's gonna happen is about like three centimeters worth of your hair or four centimeters or five, I don't know, whatever. It just depends how much you overlap. That part is gonna be over-processed.   And also, and if it doesn't actually break off, you're gonna be left with a white stripe through your hair for a long time. Because you actually don't wanna lighten your hair till it's literally see-through white, okay? You wanna get it almost that stage, but not quite. So it's never cute. Like I've had clients before where they have that like white stripe and I'm like, girl, there's really nothing we can do about it until it grows out. So my customers come off, they fade. So now I'm gonna take the rest of the bleach that I have and I'm gonna put it on the rest of my hair. Oh, I don't know. Listen, that could be okay. It could be fine, but you just had to be so short.  It's a good in between like, you can't wait too long. There's a really only like 10 minute gap between like your hair snapping off and it being like the perfect amount of lightness. But she's going for it. So now it has been 20 minutes total, 10 minutes on my ends, 20 minutes on my roots. It's yellow. To me, that's a good color. You can always tone it to be the ice blonde. It's scary, but we're gonna work with that. Like I don't see any roots. Oh. I didn't think that this was gonna turn into one of those Brad Mondo videos that he reviews, but we're turning into one of those because, oh. I don't know, I can't. Like in the mirror or in the camera, like it looks like I'm like catching like losing hair. Sorry, I don't mean to laugh. Let me compose myself. That looks a lot worse than I thought it was gonna look. Let's review. You tell me, where did I go wrong? Obviously, I don't think I left it on long enough. I'm at a loss for words. I don't know how you literally bleach your entire head, but you have a dark line going across and like patches on the side. Like I saw the lightener on your entire head. What happened, girl? Did we miss literally entire two inch sections? Is that what happened? Next part of the video, the toner. Not the T18. We're not breaking up the T18 to fix this, guys. T18 can't fix everything, I'm telling you. I'm like, I can't re-bleach it because that's what it says, not to re-bleach it the day of. What do you mean don't re-bleach it? Who's telling you not to re-bleach it?  I mean, unless you're into the look, I don't know, but what is T18 gonna do for you? It's not gonna cover up a level of seven. What am I missing? I just put toner in it. I'm gonna let this soak for at least an hour. Okay, so I just rinsed out the toner. What were we expecting that to do? Okay, so the last clip you saw, I recorded that on Tuesday, it's now Friday. She went a whole three days with this.  I am gonna just do exactly the same process. Okay, it's been 40 minutes total. Oh no, no. We are not just lightening those darker pieces. We are doing the entire thing. Now what you should do, and what would have happened in this lawn, we would have done a platinum card or whatever you want to call it, literally foil highlight every single piece of hair and lighten those darker bits that everything lifts the same level. And then after those darker points are lifted to a nice pale yellow, you can go around everything and sort of even the tone out with lightener over everything for like 10, 15 minutes. If it even needs that. This is going to probably break your hair off. So I'm gonna wash it out, shampoo, and then come back and then we're gonna tone it. At this point, I need- No! Red Mondo to come into the chat. I'm here. The color of my roots is like a highlight yellow. Honestly, the color of your roots is perfect. It's a beautiful pale yellow. It would be amazing to tone that and it would come out beautiful. The rest of your hair, however, not the same color at all. Sometimes what happens when you're comparing like the darker parts, the lighter parts at the same time and they're like right next to each other. The lighter part looks really weirdly discolored and the darker parts too. You can have to like cover one up to see the real color. But that's okay. We're putting T18 on, right guys? T18 solves everything. All of our problems. It can solve our relationship issues. Any hair issues really. Our childhood trauma, it can solve it. Everything. So this is technically the final result. I just have this crown. Like all the way around my head of yellow. I'm gonna let my hair air dry and I'm gonna show you all tomorrow what it looks like. You know, I think I still can get it right. And this is the final look. Honestly, it is passable as being a decent looking color drop. It kind of looks like she did a root shadow and everything looks more or less like cohesive in a weird way. Kind of wild. Don't understand it. But we're gonna have to lighten those darker spots again. Do what I said before. I gotta use something besides T18. Let's not do that again. Next video is by Jamie Ann. I dyed my hair for the first time last summer. Our goal was to make it ash gray but ended up this kind of color, ash brown. Her hair is black. I don't know if it's colored. I don't know if it's virgin hair. It seems like it's virgin hair but it's gonna take a lot of force to get that darkness out of her hair. And then one day, I wanna dye my hair blue. And so I did. And that was the last thing that I dyed my hair. So she also explained that she has previously dyed her hair blue and her ends still have some of that blue pigment and they are pre-lightened already. If she puts lighter all over her entire head at once she's gonna end up with white roots, yellow or orange midsection and then probably like a weird turquoise like moment going on when she lifts that blue out of her hair. So she's gonna have a lot going on if that happens and I am interested. Here we have two developers. We have 30 volume and then the other one's 20 volume. And then we have here the bleaching powder and then the tree colors that we'll be using. So she's using a metallic gray toner too. So that will be interesting. At least she's not using the same old D18 and it's a level nine. It looks like nine zero one which is the most extreme ash you can get. So it's like blue based. Which is good because her hair will probably be orange or yellow. It'll probably knock out the yellow so much that it'll turn to gray which I'm pretty sure she kind of wants a little bit of that gray tint. So it should be fine. Okay, we are beginning the lightening process. Is she going to the root? Like not quite to the scalp but she's going pretty much to the root and she's doing the entire hair strand at once. What?  The midsection is probably gonna be orange and the ends are gonna be like a turquoise. You can already see it happening. That blue molecule that she had in her hair beforehand is going to try and come out and weird things happen with semi-permanent and semi-permanent colors sometimes when you try to lift them out. Especially the fashion colors. You never know what you're gonna get. 45 minutes in and this is what my hair looks like. Okay, great. Well, we didn't do the root, which is good actually. Yeah. Woo! This is the result of the first beach. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. It's orange and it also has spots. I'm gonna tell you this once. Actually I'm gonna tell you it a hundred times. Quadrant, say it with me, quadrants. This way, this way you get four sections. Boom. Start on the bottom of the first section. Take little slices out. Okay, tiny, tiny little pieces. Lighten those pieces, okay? Next one, lighten it. Put something in between them. Go through the entire head like that, all right? And that way, you don't miss spots and also put a lot of lightener on. So hopefully after the second beach, it will be yellow so that the gray color will be bright. All right, they're going in for a second round here and they're going on the route and they're doing the midsection again. Which honestly, this could work because thank God she didn't touch those roots yet. You know, that is what's gonna save her here. But she is getting those midsections all nice and covered. And we're hopefully gonna lift them up like another two levels. Yeah, yes. This. This looks a lot better. A lot better. This is what my hair looks like. I'm just going to wash it off and then else. It's still not light enough though. I can tell you that much. It looks orange. Ta-da. So this is what my hair looks like. Oh. After the second beach. Oh. She actually did a pretty good job. But, you know, still not light enough. Sorry. I used purple shampoo and been able to show for like five minutes. Ooh. It's really yellow. Too yellow to be platinum. That's for sure. We're gonna need to lighten that again. See later what will it look like if it's fully dried. But this is what it looks like when damp. Except she is using a level nine toner on top of this. So her hair is at like a level eight though. I don't think it's gonna really work. What do you think? Bark if it's good or bark if it's... Yeah, bark if it's... If you like her hair, you don't like it. Okay, got it. So she's going in with the toner. Guys, I don't know what's about to happen. I don't know what's about to go down. But I don't think it's gonna be good. Final reveal. I think she looks like she's glowing. She looks so angelic. It brought so much life to her face. I love it. The color doesn't look professionally done, which I don't think she was going for it. You know, it still has that yellow. It still has that line of demarcation where her previous blue color was in her ends.  Next time let's do foils. Let's do smaller pieces. Let's use 30 volume and lighten her. Oh, also when it comes to toner, everybody buys the toner before the processing of their hair is done, which is totally opposite of what we do in the salons. When we see we need to cancel out greens, we need to cancel out yellow, we need to cancel out orange. We build the toner to do so and we customize it based off of what we're seeing and what our end goal is. You guys just kind of buy the toner before you start, which you know, that's not really how they work.  Good job. If I learned one thing today, it's to not do that, all of that.
