All right guys, so it's the same day. I'm walking back to the hospital now. I just got back. It's been about like four hours so I haven't heard anything. So I'm gonna go see what's going on. But they basically gave me this car. They told me I have to go around the corner to a different building. That's where they'll give me the updates and all that. But apparently she's still in surgery. We're going on like four hours. So I don't know if that's good or bad. So I was able to sneak in the bathroom. I don't know if you guys heard me, but I had to go to a whole different type of building just to get an update for them to tell me what's going on with her. So apparently her surgery started one hour late. So she's been in surgery now for about, I think, going on four hours before it was already like four and some change. So that was kind of like worrying me which is why I decided to come back and just see what's going on. But hopefully she'll be done soon. Her doctor did say that the surgery was gonna be like three or so hours but he was gonna take his time because she does have stage four endometriosis. So he really wanted to take his time. Make sure he does everything right and help her out the best way that he could which I really appreciate. But yeah guys, I'm gonna use the bathroom now and then I'll give you guys an update when I get an update. So I just got done talking with the doctor. He came down to the waiting room to come and speak with me. The surgery went well, thank God. Everything went great. He removed all of her ovariances. Basically her ovaries were so swollen that they were pressing up against each other and he actually gave me pictures of what that looks like, like her insides but I'm not gonna show you guys because one, I don't know if Denise would want me to do that and two, I don't know if he too allows me. Another thing is that she's still in the operating room because there's no room in the recovery rooms due to COVID. So she's gonna be staying in there for the meantime which really sucks because if she's not in the recovery room I don't know if I'd be able to see her and say and she also has to stay overnight until the morning which I know she's gonna hate but the doctor said he really wants to make sure she's good which I don't disagree with him at all on that but overall guys, surgery went great. I honestly, I can't thank God enough, I'm so happy. He said she's fine and that he's really hopeful for the future. I don't know if he was talking about her condition or overall just having kids but amen. Either way, that's just great news. So whenever I get the next update guys I'll be sure to let you guys know. So it's like two hours later I called the recovery room again. They don't have a room for her so she's still inside the operator room. They're just holding her there. They don't know when they're gonna get a room for her where she can actually stay but irregardless the lady told me that it might take up to like two hours maybe to even get her a room and at that point the visitation hours are over cause right now it's about to be five o'clock and they end at seven.  I was trying to see if I can maneuver away or like persuade them that I can just go see her cause I haven't seen her since she got out of surgery but being with COVID they were really strict and honestly this really, really sucks but there's only so much I could do but the nurse did tell me that she's fine. She's awake. She said she was gonna let her know that I'm calling Beast thing basically. So it sounds like she's in really good hands. I really do like this hospital. They've been really good with giving me updates. The doctor, I love him. He's like very knowledgeable. I 100% trust him with everything he's done but I'm on my way back home now cause there's nothing I can actually do at this point and I guess I'll see you guys when I get home. Y'all for those of you that live in New York City please tell me why you live in New York City. I can't deal with this traffic. Oh my God. I've been at this same spot for like the past 20 minutes bruh. Nice building though. I finally made it back home. I kid you not. It took an hour and 45 minutes for a trip that usually takes like 25 to 30. I absolutely hate New York City but it is what it is. Honestly at this point I'm just gonna make some food for the dogs and I'm just gonna wait for Janice to call me. She should be getting her phone back sometime tonight so whenever she calls me I'll make sure to start recording so you guys can see her, see that she's well. It's gonna be my first time seeing her since the surgery so I'm actually excited for whenever that call happens. I guess I'll see you guys then. Fast forward I think like two hours guys. So I just got a call from her nurse. Her nurse basically told me that they had just got her room. Oddly enough they got the room right when visitation hours end so I would have been over there all this time for no reason anyway. I wouldn't have been able to see her which really sucks but they just got her into her room. Her nurse said that she doesn't have her phone or anything like that. That's all still with securities. They have to work on getting all her stuff back to her. The nurse did say though that she was gonna have Janice call me from the hospital phone but I haven't received any calls yet but it's probably because Janice is gonna want to FaceTime I'm sure. But on a side note my mom actually went on vacation so I have to go to her house. I have to feed her dogs. I'll take the dogs out for like a little walk. Let them use the bathroom and whatnot. I'm gonna bring the camera with me just in case Janice ends up calling me. This way I can answer the phone on camera and you guys can see here the same time I do for the first time since the surgery. So if you guys see a change in scenery or you guys see that I'm in a different house or anything just know that I met my moms. I just brought the camera with me. All right guys so she's calling. Let's see. Hi. What's wrong? How do you feel? You hear me? You okay? I'm on mom's house. I didn't let you come. Yeah I know.  Yeah. In your own room? Yeah, it's nice.  Oh it is nice. Come on, show them. Guys look that's her own room. She got her own little personal room. I'm sorry if you hear her singing that is the guy next door. He's Dominican singing his songs. It's a nice room. You got anything you wanna say to the camera? Damn right you did. I told you you could do it. And I just walked right now. Like on your own? Nice. When can I pick you up? I'll go get you right now. Oh no. All right guys so we just had some technical difficulties. She's like cutting in and out. I don't really know what's going on. I don't know if it's my wifi over here at my mom's house or probably over there, their wifi. I don't know but I'm gonna get in contact with her again. I'm gonna catch up with her and then I'll give you guys an update of what's going on, how she's feeling and all that good stuff. At least you guys got to see her, see that she's well talked to her for a little bit. But everything went well thank God and I'll catch you guys up to speed in a minute. So I just got off the phone with her. I'm sorry that this video is like all over the place.  I have so much to do while having to like worry about Janice. It just, the timing is just horrible but I did get off the phone with her. She is doing great. There's not much that you guys missed anyway on camera cause like I said we were having technical difficulties. She ended up calling me back. The wifi over there is tripping. She's not able to speak anyway so it's like I had to ask her questions and she was just nodding and like giving me thumbs up and stuff like that. So you guys didn't miss anything but you guys did see that she's doing fine. She's smiling. She's good. Everything is great. So I think that's where we're gonna end out today's video. Honestly guys, today's post notification shout out goes out to all of you. Honestly, your well wishes and your prayers on the last video I was reading them today cause it's the same day I'm filming this stuff. This is just like the second part of the video I guess. You guys have no idea how much of a better mood your positive comments and just your well wishes and prayers do for us. I can imagine what they do for Janice because they made me feel so much better and put me in such a great mood. I was feeling horrible but I can imagine when Janice reads them how she's gonna feel. But honestly guys, shout out to every single one of you. The words. You guys leave a speechless. We just love you guys so much. Thank you for all the love and support. We wouldn't be where we're at and we definitely wouldn't. I just don't even know what to say anymore. I love you, infinite fam. Honestly, I'll see you guys in the next video. Next video will be most likely bringing her home and I'm sorry for the lighting right now. It's nighttime obviously but next video we should be bringing her back home. So stay tuned for that.

Or lean hogs or if you want to look at crypto, you know where you want to look at a stock or an S&P anyway It's all based off our educational course and All right, so Let me go through the disclosures here general disclosure all book map limited materials information and presentations are for Educational purposes only and should not be considered specific investment advice nor recommendations Risk disclosure trading futures equities and digital currencies involve substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. All right. Let's jump in here. Let's take a look at these markets and Guys over in discord. I just wanted to let you know or let everyone know here What actually what we go we have going on over in our discord channel. You might want to come over And check it out. We just restructured it Just kind of move stuff around a little bit. You'll see a new structure in here We have an event later today as well. You might want to check this out if you're A native or Spanish speaker It's with a Spanglish trades And then wanted to show in here the the new structure. So Here we are in all markets. I don't know if we're gonna keep that name But that's what we have at the moment right after my webinar, which will end around In about an hour and a half or so We'll have the traders lab a Tom be he'll start Directly after that's actually when we'll have the Spanglish webinar as well with Frank Moreno and You know looking looking forward to that he's Trading stocks and futures and then right after Tom's webinar. We have options with Doug. All right, so Doug will start at 1 30 and here's room is down here the voice channel. You'll see it here So guys you can just see there's a new structure in here Wanted to let you know about that right after Doug finishes the Algo boys start And they're gonna go through the way that they trade We have back-to-back Live events in here guys. It's really great stuff. You might want to come over and check it out Many of them will be on YouTube you can see them on our YouTube channel. Let me just show you that here So, you know and understand where they are. So you can see that Who's next here? This will be at 10. I'm sorry and in another hour or so An hour and 20 minutes or so and then you Tom B will be at the same time as well. All right So in fact, I need to change something there Just a second here. Sorry about this guys and then we'll get right into this S&P. We had some data here You can see the University of Michigan Sentiment report or the data here and just cover basic order flow You know, I think I'm gonna back up and even go over that in here because like one of the things about bookmap is just so visual Is that it is showing? Hold on just a minute the market behavior the order flow and we're gonna make a distinction here between order flow and price action and It'll be very very easy to demo this and I hope that the light kind of the light bulb Shines a little bit brighter after this this demo here Okay, so Yeah, I was speaking with a trader earlier today and What he would like to kind of see in the in the webinars and he he wanted to make that distinction and so we will go over it it's Yolkham and he's been using bookmap for a while and Just like the rest of us very passionate about all this stuff. So let's Let's cover this here. What happened here, right? Let me show you price action first Okay, so we're gonna just take some of these elements off the bookmap chart This is price action This is just the movement of price Okay, so that's all there is here You know a lot of times you'll see you'll hear traders talk about price action and maybe they're they're looking at their bar data candlesticks I got too many candle not enough candles here Hold on.  It's not really It's aggregated data within a period here Is so it's really kind of hiding what happens within that period and that's really the drawback of bar data You only have open high low and close Only four data points for that period could be a volume period. It could be a range bar period. It doesn't matter It's still periodic aggregation of data And it doesn't allow you to insight what of pure price action and this is the pure price action here Okay, look at the distinction here. All right, this is how this actually This is the pure price action here. Here's the drop. Here's the consolidation. Here's the drop Here's the pullback to these little areas in here And then let's see what happened after that. It just dropped again. Okay, so this is the price action in here This is what we want to understand these Really like these little areas of consolidation breakdown retest, etc This is how you're gonna get an edge just by looking at best bid and offer compared to bar data. All right, so Anyway, so this is what when you hear price action. This is it. Okay. Now, let's talk about order flow What is order flow? All right? Well, we'll start with one here We'll put the volume on now. These are the transactions in the marketplace And these are the market buy and sell orders and this is actually what moves price. All right, so the Let's see here. Yeah guys, if you have any questions, yeah, feel free to hit us up in in YouTube there Or here in the new the new chat room all markets, which we may change the name but anyway, so These are the market buy and sell orders and this is what moves price Okay, when there is enough sellers in here, which you can see here see the big red dots These are sellers the size of the dot is more More volume. Okay, if there's if they hit the bid hard enough the sellers with market sell orders They'll move price a tick Another level and another level and another level if they can take all of the bids Out there the limit buy orders on the other side and they trade through them. Okay, that's how the market moves So now this is good. We can we have a context here This is starting to get into the differences in order flow Okay, and and the difference between order flow and price action So here is our move to the downside We can understand now that sellers have taken control of this market right after the data that came out here All right Now let's go over the the third element on the bookmap chart and this is really a review for a lot of people But I wanted to do it. I wanted to define You know order flow versus price action in here due to some insights from Yolkham Alright, so let's let's take a look here. Alright, so the Orders on the other side of the trade who's taking the trade this is a really important element and It it really matters a lot of traders will say it does not matter and it is just so false Supply and demand We want to understand the limit buy and sell orders. Where are they lined up to? buy well, they're down here in fact Here note note the data was here at 10 a.m. Okay look one minute before the data came out Look how a lot of traders pulled even even more here a little bit after Or less than one minute. They started to pull their orders from the market Why did they do that because they don't know what the number is going to be? Therefore, they're not going to take the risk And if they don't if there's not a lot of orders in the market and Not a lot of liquidity You can get extreme price action very quickly You can you can get this these moves that unfold very quickly Because there's not a lot of orders for these sellers to hit into so they can quickly move the market down lower Look where it went Okay, this just proves the point and this just proves How these markets work and then how you will be able to glean information and and insight from this understanding here it traded down to this high liquidity that was in the order book and remained in the order book and Transacted right here Okay, and we can we can zoom in and we can see the transaction here It is this is what happened right here, and we're looking now at sub-second levels here. This is microstructure And you might hear that term every now and then and to be very precise about microstructure it means Sub-second levels. This is sub-second levels Okay, we can zoom in and we can show you down to millisecond or I'm sorry These were it was milliseconds earlier now it's microseconds we can zoom in and look at nanoseconds. That's billions of seconds We have it all recorded here within book map. That is the accuracy of the the Heat map and and the platform here in book map. That's because we we we came from the HFT environment anyway Just wanted to mention that but this is what's important here this high liquidity State in the book it traded. Okay, even during this market event here Okay, the data event and it basically stopped the markets, okay? There was a little more selling pressure, but this basically really slowed down Okay, can you guys still hear me over in YouTube? Is it still good here? I? Think I had a bit of a lag there or problem Can you just if you someone can just over in YouTube just? Maybe just say you can hear me This OBS was just acting up here. All right. I'll wait for that and Okay, so anyway Yeah, so this this slowed the market down and absorbed the selling pressure here and here And we get the back and forth in here Okay, and and then what what did we get down here? We got more sellers and they dropped it down into high liquidity down here All right, look at the bounce out of this area and where did it go? High liquidity up here on the bid at top of the range here Okay, where it dropped from over here. This this is the kind of market structure We look at every day here in these webinars Gives us insight to where price might go next by understanding the auction in here Not the price action here or at least the price action together with The order flow All right, do you have any questions on that? On this order flow in here guys if you do please hit up Or ask the questions in the all markets in discord or over here in YouTube No questions over here in YouTube. All right, this is kind of odd All right. Anyway, that's let's continue on I still think something's wrong over here in YouTube But guys I mean look at look at this market structure. I just got to go through it in here We this is the kind of stuff we look at all day long and it's just it's really really important to understand Let's just go through it price action and Then order flow within it. Okay. This is the price action. This is what creates market structure Okay, it's actually the order flow within it that creates the market structure But we can put a structure around this price action here like what does this look like to you guys right here? There's a pattern in here. There is a reason for the pattern in here okay, so What what do you guys think what what what patterns does this look like right here? to you boy, I'm really if someone can just Let me know that they can hear me over in bookmark Over in YouTube, this is this is odd. Anyway All right, so the Yeah, okay, this is a reverse head and shoulders here shoulder head shoulder All right. Now. Let's understand what happened is a very particular particular pattern that happened in here though in the order flow So that's the price structure right and that's the price action what it the price action is very simple Drop pull back drop It pulled back here and broke out from where it dropped from here and tested the top of this range here And then pulled back here. All right, so um Hold on a minute. Okay. It looks like my connections a bit slow in here Anyway, I think I think we're okay. Yeah, it's an odd day. So just Let's let's go through this though and we got to get to a live action. That's what we're here for okay, because we only have another hour until Spanglish Trades begins their their webinar and also Tom B. All right, so We get we want to get to that live market But this is just so important to go over this provides the foundation for you guys to trade any kind of Style that you want once you start to understand what's within some of these patterns for example So let's let's do it. All right. Let's look at the volume here All right, the volume here is very very simple Here's our move to the downside sellers. Here is even more sellers move to the downside Look at this area right here. Hey, especially right in here And then we get the pen out just in case to emphasize this You will note The sellers came in here and moved it This is where buyers took and sellers were in control at this point and moved it down Hey buyers came right back though and then tested where it dropped from and we're able to trade right through it back up to here and Look at the retest here. This is the important part here Okay, the retest to exactly this pivot point here We've talked about pivot points in here for it for years but it's due to the The market structure in the order flow here And here you can see it very clearly. Okay on this pullback. Do you see a lot of sellers? No That's a low volume pullback here after a strong impulse move on the buy side Okay, now we don't know yet if if Buyers are going to take control here, but look up here and we're going to zoom in just a little bit And then in here Look look what what unfolded here? Hold on just a minute. Okay? All right So we had before This is our pivot point. This is our pullback here. All right So that's good and we don't know though We know that that this is the impulse move on the buy side and we know that they broke this down here Where the sellers came in hand to where fist? Okay, and we know that they also tested up to the top of the range here. That's all good And we don't know if they're going to come back in and do this Okay, but we do see we know that there's not a lot of sellers back to this area here Okay, where we see another strong impulse move in here on the buy side And it's back and forth in here, but here we start to see the buying coming back in We're back up into the top of the range here, and this is where we see even more buyers We get the breakout here. This turns into another Point here. That's really important in the order flow and market structure Here's our breakout consolidation pullbacks and again breakout up here Okay, now just look at the volume here. It's pretty clear Right this actually all of this selling in here was unable to move the price lower Here's why there's an iceberg down here Absorbing all of that selling pressure right into that iceberg right here Okay, that's one thing the other one is the heat map But and we'll turn that on in just a minute, but here we see the buyers come back in again All right, so again and what now let's just see do we get a pullback back to this 40 85 area? Okay, probably if if we see sellers come in I would be looking for a move back down here All right now now we zoom out we look at higher time frames Let's just go through an example here of what we're just going through over here on the bigger picture Okay, what we just covered here about this Pullback breakout pullback breakout This is the same structure on a higher time frame here Okay Strong move pullback all this back and forth strong move breakout pullback breakout all right, so Understanding the strength of these moves in here and the volume within these these patterns of the price action Is going to give you an edge Hey, no matter what you're trading Hey, let's go over it in terms of Candlesticks as well, and let's let's also turn on the heat map here because the heat map Gives us the other side of the trade as we know because we covered the University of Michigan Sentiment data over here earlier talking about where it might trade and who's taking the other side of the trade So, yeah, okay. Well lots of liquidity here trades through it pullback breakout right Big move up in here lots of buying but look at what they're buying into Tons of liquidity even here tons of liquidity Hey up at this 4100 now that makes good sense, right? Larger players like to police or orders around these big figure numbers Okay, so look at now this starting to fail here All right, so where might it go? Well, I'd be looking for 4090 all right if if we see enough Sellers coming in coming in here This might be a breakdown false breakdown and then move back back up into these areas if We find enough buyers. Okay, so this is the area. We're looking at here Now we're up to the pure price or the current price action and order flow and let's watch this 96 level Okay, there's still seem to be buyers there Hey, so what mate we may we may break out from there Okay, what is the order book? What do we see an exchange of hands in here? Well, absolutely over here Look at this they trade right into all that liquidity these sellers up here larger players As we know got what they wanted They're they're short Look what effect this had on the market here Okay, the market sold off All right, so now let's see do we get insight on a fractal move in here? Well, here's some buyers on the bid and the sellers just took them on we're finding more sellers here Alright, well then and now we're starting to bounce a little bit if we come back down here though We find more sellers. I bet we can get a break and come back down lower into these levels here Okay, so now look at look at we're testing our 96 level up here Right. All right. Let's see if we do we get more buyers Yeah, we do we do Okay Let's see. Can we get more again here? Then we're coming back up to test 4100 Right, so we're still watching this key level here now. We're getting sellers down below it All right, okay, there's enough selling pressure here. Okay, this is the selling on the other side. I Just can't cover it fast enough looking for the sellers to drop it down to Let's just zoom out here. Okay, likely back down to around this 92 and three quarters or 93 All right, so We can see the sellers took the market lower here and it's so far. It's being sustained or it's sustained Okay, so let's see if we can get more sellers yet again here And to move back down into our 93 level 92 and three quarters Okay And look at their behavior in the auction down here There were buyers down here They pulled their liquidity from the market. So where are they now down there down here at 91 and a half Okay, so this is how we start to understand the supply and demand in here. This is the order flow All right, so we traded our 93 level Right now we can talk about all of these things in these levels and how these markets work, etc But now let's start to apply that to some strategy And what we can look at here is Okay, well then you'd be looking for a pullback here to these levels in here and then sellers to come in on the other side We were looking for that. We did see that and that's when we looked for the move lower here Okay, so then how do you how can you wrap a trading strategy around that? There are many different ways I'm just going to go through a few for you and then we can take it further here. All right, so the One way to do this here is you wait for this kind of and Jay trader talks about this as some sort of kind of A shift or curling of the of the order flow here Right and sellers start to come in on the other side That's what we were looking for to and that's when we're looking for the move back down here right so and Then different ways to tackle this is really up to you right, but let's just go through a few So let's suppose you got in here or even down here. It's fine Even here, you know, it doesn't really matter. You could here's your pullback trade right here Hey at this at this little level here. All right There's there's exhaustion there and we know sellers are starting to come in. We'd look for the move back down lower Anyway, again, it's a fractal move, right? This is your pullback and what you can do is This is something you need to look into And and study this to build an edge for yourself So Maybe you get in here. Maybe you put your stop up here Okay, thinking that well, they're you know sellers move the market here buyers kind of failed here I'm looking for sellers to move it back down to you here And you can take a partial profit here at that point Now what's the reason for taking a partial profit? Is because we saw all this liquidity filled up here Right and we knew that they were selling pressure coming in so that was our idea here We see the exchange of hands here between buyers and sellers. It's right up here end up in here Okay, now you would have been stopped out on the remainder of your position here Okay, due to this this back and forth environment in here. We can see buyers came back in Okay, whatever we'll look for the next set up Right in this trading strategy. We look for the next set up All right, this would just be one way of looking at it here All right, so And we look for another one in here too, this might be a low volume pullback right here. Let's take a look Okay, if it is we look for exhaustion here on the buy side sellers here at 94 and a half and sellers to move it down here I don't really see them. I don't like it But but we're still looking for that, you know, I just don't see the selling pressure coming in here right here Right, so we're looking for sellers right in here, right? And we got a few but that's not very very convincing here We had exhaustion here that was good What I'm trying to get at is in here in the variations in the order flow You can start to filter your trades to look for something high more Probable a higher probability Trade or optimize your trading strategy. This didn't look so good Hey, well, we'll step aside. We're still looking for it to drop back down into this 91 50 area down here. Yeah, well, let's see. Well, maybe we'll get them here now Let's see Yeah, it looks pretty good. All right sellers. Let's see the drop Okay, now if you if you sold that here Okay, well, how do you manage it? Right now this could come right back into the range and back up to 40 100. We know that Right, it's up to you. How do you want to manage something like that? Now? This is not a trade recommendation I'm just going over the live order flow in here and and demoing this for you guys So you can put it to the test Okay, in this case like you can see the order flow changed in here. Look at this on the bid now at 93 Okay, so You put your stop back up here. Maybe you got stopped out Okay above above the range in here Hey, well, maybe you put it up above this range. I don't know Maybe you just you were looking for a quick move here and you put it at break even Immediately and you got stopped out of break even All right, so anyway different ways of looking at this different ways of trading it No, we're talking about trading strategy. So I think we're let's go over this this setup over in here Okay, so in here Let's say I think this was our line of entry in here and maybe your stop was Up here or here, right? Okay. So in fact, let's just get rid of all these again here and Go through it. All right, so your entry was in in in this area in here Here's your pullback. You can it could have gotten in with a market sell or you could have gotten in with maybe your limit Sell in here. Maybe maybe you can get filled at this this price level right here not up here though up here And let's suppose you're in all right. So and then you wanted to take your your partial profit down here at 93 Okay, so there you go right And now we've got a couple of these and what I'm gonna do is take this and then make it put it up here if And let's just take it down one tick All right, there you go. So if you took your partial profit here and the let the the The second lot or the second part you were looking for a runner Maybe it would break down into this 4090 level or or even lower All right And you put your stop at the overall break even on the position it would be up here It'd be right at this level around 97 in a quarter And you would have been stopped out Okay, and you made a tick and that's it All right, so you this is how a good way to consider Managing your risk. That's one way another way is you get in you take your partial profit You move your stop to break even plus one and you got stopped out You gave it a chance to run it didn't trend it came back and Into these areas in here. All right Okay No question something's wrong over here in YouTube Still oh, I mean the questions section live chat There it is. I'm sorry guys. I was in that I was in the wrong section Okay I'm sorry guys. Geez. I got all sorts of stuff in here. All right Okay, thank you. Thank you. Yeah, everything's good here. Okay good. All right Good. Oh, yeah, that was weird. Um, okay Hold on just a moment Okay, so All right, let's let's go again through the whole thing in here and we can look at a bigger picture move here, too Guys, you know talk about swing trading and order flow, etc. Look at this. They're still up here at forty one hundred I mean we see a lot of green in here and we are trending higher, right? But We want to understand what's going on in here and this price action in here. What's the order flow? Well strong buying and it did accept higher Okay, but it's right into these areas in here and they're still in here Okay, so I don't know like if we get enough sellers in here. Yeah, we'll likely get the move lower and At least a back down to the bottom of this range in here or maybe back down into like 85 or so But I don't it's hard. This is kind of really back and forth. It's just hard to decipher in here What exactly is going on? And we can look at the the the market Structure or price action structure as well and Not getting too much from that either like we're talking about lower highs and lower lows and about the volume also within those areas that Within that structure. This is really choppy and back and forth here, right? So nothing nothing really to note here. There's there's buyers. There's sellers There's buyers. There's sellers. There's buyers again One thing there is one thing to note in a choppy market It depends but a lot of times you'll see that we'll go through the midpoint here Right in here. It's right around this 96 level here look at the buying and selling above it and below it And people get caught off-guard stopped out. We have our stop indicator here. We see the stops here And people getting stopped out above it here as well with the red line And then here's another stop run back up above it watch this there'll be a stop run here now to the downside into 90 okay, so And then, you know, we'll see if we get more buyers to trade it right back in and try to get back above The stops back up above 93 here All right, so a very choppy environment in here right now all right, so any questions so far on the Okay, Dennis you like the the bigger picture. Yeah, the bigger picture is so important the reason we go in the smaller picture Dennis is because The lower time frames is because we can go through so many more examples to go through that fractal example and and you know The market structure and and all of these different things in here We'd be waiting forever. Right and we don't want to do that We want to be like the poker player who who who plays like 10,000 hands very quickly So the more that we get under our belt the easier it'll be and we can look at the bigger picture as well All right, so let's actually do that. Let's take a step back and take a look here Now again, this is we we are so far. We are still accepting above this kind of 89 level or so Okay, even with this move down on on the on the sell side here. We're still bullish here Hey in the in the bigger picture Okay, at least on this time frame for today. Okay need need to cover that as well You can see the previous Extended trading our structure here in the just the dip above it and then Move back down. So let's take a look at our candlestick charts daily on the on the left Hourly in the middle and the 15 on the right Hey, what's going on in here? All right, so here's our our daily. We've been talking about it forever and this move up and And The CEO is FOMC. They got the spike up and then we had the great non-farm Report last week that really shook up the markets in my opinion. We see that very very choppy Here and then here's Powell speaking the other day Look at our choppy that is and I don't even know you didn't even really say anything It just went up it went down it went up and went back down Here yesterday you can see that we went below all that price action in here. Okay now today We just filled the gap in here. Okay, so let's just take a look here at the 15 minute chart for example Okay, here's where we gap down. We opened up here For the for the regular trading hours. We just filled the gap again. We found sellers up here Hey, look at the wicks. We know they're selling pressure up here Okay, and it happens to be right at the figure up here 4100 All right now now we're starting to trade back down But look at the price action in here, too and you know, it's been some Nothing but buying basically since the open and that's the bullish activity. We've been looking at All right, so now question is do we see a lot of seller we filled the gap great? Okay, that's done. We try we tested back up here. Great. That's done. Do we see sellers come in? Okay, if we do and we need to see pretty heavy selling to trade back down into these lower levels here All right So we'll go through that scenario when we we go through the different scenarios when it looks like the scenario We go through that's when we have an edge Okay, and that's what we're looking for in here All right, so so far Yes, we finally we broke the 90 or 89 level here. Okay, that's that's not bad for a start Hey, look at the buyers though here. All right. All right So buyers will probably take it back up to 92 and a half or our 93 level here Okay, just based on this pressure of buying in here that we see Okay, so and again guys, I mean you can scalp these you can you can trade on a higher time frame is the same stuff This is a move. We're looking for the move back up here basically 92 okay now and If it doesn't and then it this this fails to break out from this little range in here This is where I'm looking for sellers down here at 88 and a quarter All right, if we get our sellers in here, I'm looking for the move to 85 84 83 Yeah Looking for sellers here and looking for the let's see if they can drop it here. Okay Makes sense this so that what we're looking this was a small little break out here They have this little range in here, but the bigger structure it made a lower high and we found sellers come in So we're looking for sellers to try to move it away now from And break the low here. All right, so Anyway, that's what we kind of see at the moment here looking for the sellers. Okay Looking for them to drop it down into here 85 All right, and well we said at 84 83 as well If you're a volume profile trader look at your profile here And this would be kind of a back back into this high volume node down here a bunch of retail stops at VWAP midpoint VP OC Thanks, Rob. Yeah guys. Look at this. This is it's this is it's all over the place today really It's tricky. This is a double little double bottom pattern in here that we cover a lot of times And it's just order flow within the price action yet again We're looking for sellers. We're looking for sellers. We're looking for them Here's a little bit some back and forth no sellers very few sellers Buyers back up in here and they're able to lift it. Okay, so look for this on your, you know, this is actually triple bottom Okay, we we covered triple bottom in a webinar last week And I can show you that under the live streaming in here go here And if we look up triple Triple bottoms and candlestick patterns right here. Okay? So if you want to go through that and we went through it in detail, right? And we'd look for these little moves to take place that could turn into bigger moves Okay, it looks like it's going to fail though. I'm seeing the sellers again I'm looking for the sellers to drop through this area at this point and and they are They're looking now for continuation as well, right? So maybe we get a pullback here to about 86, but I'm looking for a continuation now Sellers are now moving the market. All right, so want to see them drop it into 84 and That's about it for now. I mean we have 80 down here as well This is our remember we talked about our pivot point down here from the non or I'm sorry not non-farm from the Michigan sentiment here Okay, so down into 80 and there's liquidity down there at 80. Okay. Great. Well Dennis there's your higher time frame All right. Does that does that make sense a Dennis like starting to understand this price action here? Okay, we went through the higher time frame with the gap fill and looking for sellers In in you know kind of down in this area and where they might take it 80 looks pretty good You know also maybe 78 on this 15 minute chart, but let's look at the order flow though Okay, and let's look at the price action and So we got a ways to go here. Okay, but anyway Again, it's the same thing. Obviously. This is hindsight now But but take a look at it here. See the selling pull away. Look at the low volume pullback This was interesting in here because there's a lot of there's a big buyer in here that came in Okay, so that kind of made things a little convoluted in here but You know we're and we saw more buyers back up in here So we're looking for that, you know, this little move in here and then we then we covered it like, okay What if it fails? What if we see sellers down here? We're looking for that move to continue on lower All right Okay, Dennis. So you watched all online structural all the instructional videos three times really appreciate it swing trader holding for a few days That's excellent. You know actually them. Let me show you guys. I want that brings up another subject in here I've been using the in demoing the trader map pro It is for MBO data the market by order data for the CME group futures and you will need to have rhythmic data but the insights that you can gain from that through the heat map and Let's go over that. Yeah, I really like this tool a lot. I think it it it offers an edge in here Here's why okay, let's we're looking at all the orders here in the book from This chart here in the S&P Here's another S&P with the TM pro dot pro. This means trader map pro This is showing a different book. It's the same instrument. It's the ESH or March You know 2023 but I filtered it for 10 contracts or more So it's trading into that right now There's actually 120 here and there's there's the breakthrough it. Okay, and and the move lower All right, so now maybe we'll get a pullback right back to this 84 and a half Okay, because that's where this big transaction just took place or even here 80 83 and a half I think So but the next liquidity is down to our 80 level All right, so we just matched up in here on the higher time frame our 80 level okay, and that's Pretty good if we look at that and we look at our higher time frame here 80 looks pretty good Okay All right, so this is 10 contracts or more and it's a totally different heat map in here Let's let's make it really extreme. Let's look at a hundred or more And this I love this heat map in here. Okay, clearly this will have to be larger players And this is their activity in here. We see massive spread in here because like You know, it's a hundred contracts or greater. It's way up here at 95 And they're way down here at 55 on the bid Okay, that's where the larger liquidity actually is so every now and then you'll see like the behavior of The larger players in here You know moving that liquidity Up into these these areas getting filled somewhat and then moving it away So they actually did get filled up here around this 84 and a quarter look at that right here, right? And then they pulled that liquidity and they added it back down here again at 55 Okay, so what does that mean? Well, they added a little bit in maybe they took a little bit of profit, but they're down here All right, that's what it means And what about on the offer?  I know that was a while back on the head and shoulders pattern and Just getting to your questions in here All right guys. Well, let's just let me just put this to a question To you because now we're gonna we're getting more advanced now But we're understanding we're building upon this foundation and that's actually what our education is really about Is you know to start with these very basic things of like what moves price? What's the difference between price action and order flow? and then getting into all sorts of Details in here of stops and icebergs transacting larger players with large liquidity and how they're transacting Okay, so now just I'll just you know pose the question in here you you trade with let's suppose you trade with a hundred lots or greater You know, how would you want to trade? You know, you'd want to kind of hang out at some of these higher levels up in here most likely and then nibble a little bit Okay, average your position And then maybe take a little bit of profit That's exactly what they're doing here Okay, but you know something happens. They're up here at forty one hundred. They're in the queue still up here at forty one hundred but look at this okay It comes down here and he and he's offering here at This larger player at eighty seven and a half and he's not getting filled It doesn't even get filled in here Okay, so he doesn't get a position on He and then he pulls that liquidity away Okay, now he's down here on the bid and he does get filled in here He's a buyer here and here at eighty four and a quarter and this eighty five level Okay, so we'll keep those in mind where price might come back to well it price did come back to it. It's right here Now you can see it come right back to it Right after the big move down. They came right back to it And why did it come back to it because this is where these transactions took place? It's just that transactions took place up here The market can trade or transact up here And it comes back again That's where you can start to look at low volume pullbacks and start to understand well, how did it come back into those areas? Okay, now look at this larger player. He pulled those that were way down here at fifty five and he's back in Okay, and he and it's having an effect on price Okay, so how did it come back in here? Well, here's the selling we know is a stop run as well And then it's not a whole lot of buying that that brought it right back up into this area Okay Now we're getting really interesting in here. We see on the bid on the offer larger players all over the place Okay, likely the same player got filled here And then also getting partially filled here on the on the offer. Okay, and Still down here at fifty five Still up here at ninety five or ninety six All right, so anyway gives a real interesting perspective Dennis there's your move into 80 and a little bit lower here. That's what we're looking at I think back over in here right around 87 ish somewhere in here All right by understanding this kind of price action and movement Right. No, I kind of missed it and didn't cover it and that's that's exactly why we Try to go through these lower time frames because like it took it this took a little while for it to work out But that's what we're looking for Right, and we had our reasons for it. In fact, look what it did it traded down to this liquidity down here below 80 actually It traded in the 80 liquidity right here here's here's the transaction And then here's more and they're getting filled as well here around 78 and a half 77 Hey, now it this sounds like it's so detailed and complex. It's It's really simple. Where did they get filled? They got filled down here That's it. That's all we need to know now. We need to know what we need to know is after that What's the reaction here? Hey, well, you know we see buyers coming back in now Okay, here's our pivot point. What if we get buying action back up above it? I'm looking for them to come right back up into 88 and 90 Okay, so let's see if there's enough. We'll probably get a pullback right to 88 84 and a half again Hey, that's pretty good buying though. It's not bad Hey, here's our pullback They can come a little lower here. Maybe pull back into 83 and three quarters and still be bullish on This small time frame on this small time frame any trend line traders in here Simon, how do we set up for 100? First off, you need the trader map pro tool It's part of the MBO bundle. Okay, and then it's in here under under the add-ons trader map pro You create a new map here. It will create a new instrument in here that you will filter for and the one I I had is this one here for Trader map pro 100 to 1000 Okay, and where are they? Well, we know that they're I think they're up at 95, right? Let's let's double-check Yeah, they're still up at 95 Okay Well, this guy lifted his his bid up into here and he just got he just got filled So that's interesting All right, so this larger player got filled. What do we get more buyers back up above it here? We found some sellers What if we get more buyers up here? It means there's still more buying pressure, right? So we'd be looking for not only top of this little range in here We'd be looking for the next level of liquidity Which on the higher? Liquidity levels it's up here at 95 and 97 Okay, but we know that on the smaller time frame. We know that we're some up here at or the not smaller time frame Lower liquidity up here at 90. So let's jump back here and yeah Targeting 90 basically on this move here Okay, again understanding where the where the orders are and the price action Or the order flow within these in these areas in here that is the key Okay, and we can understand buyers and sellers this this context this reaction between or the Relationship between the buyers and sellers in here. Oh fantastic. Uh Brazing you watch the intro courses and your training got way better. That's excellent. I mean keep coming and Listen, it doesn't stop here. This is just this you're just getting started We've got Tom be next volume profile trader We've got options with dog after that and we've got the algo boys after that all all day long Hey, so algo boys is we'll be doing webinars with them on YouTube as well But right now it's only in discord. Okay guys. There's our move into 90 Hey, just based off of that very simple analysis. We went through Okay, and we drew this line For the pullback and pivot point Before it even pulled back, right? And and look for that So I don't care that I called it What I care about is that you can trust it You can you'll start to understand the order flow in here and then it is a higher probably probability outcome Okay, it is probabilities And you need to protect yourself With risk management, but once we start to understand the order flow in here. It's a lot easier It's a lot easier. It'll it'll make your your trading, you know you'll optimize your your and and Have a stronger edge All right. Well, let's take a look at the 1010 lot here. Where are they? So they got filled up here and guys look at this I mean, it's just beautiful stuff Actually filled a little bit before here at 89 and then 90 And there's your exchange of hands between buyers and sellers up here Okay, remember we just talked about the pivot point Here's one on a smaller time frame And This is a false breakout on a smaller time frame. Here are your buyers Here are your sellers This is our pivot point and there happens to be liquidity around that that level here and there happens to be transactions up here Okay What we look for then is sellers in this little area in here They'll take it back down to the bottom of this range and I'd be looking for them If we get enough to go down to the bottom of this range here as well All right So it's a false breakout and if we what we're looking for is sellers to move it back into this is a mean reversion Concept okay back into these areas in here. All right. Anyway point made I think someone earlier was talking about They're looking at the the V poc and They're also looking at the V WAP So I'm gonna put those on to the chart here and let's take a quick look at those as well So we'll go over that kind of trading strategy All right, we're still looking at the trader map pro here. Maybe we'll jump back in here first Okay Now let's let's use the trader map pro. This has been treating us well today All right guys, I haven't even gotten to the the market polls today, which is a whole nother New tool that we I find tremendously helpful And looking at correlated markets, right? So look at look at this one here for example right here right now This could be another Pivot point right in here. Hey, this is where it broke down broke out a sellers buyers Maybe we'll get more sellers back down at the bottom of the range Hey, just a scenario but All right, let's look at V poc or PoC and we'll also look at V WAP Okay, I know a lot of you guys look at these things. So let's let's go through it And let's understand the order flow around these levels now. These are pretty I like these Using these tools. I don't have any studies off of them. It can be really easy to quantify though and back testing but Let's just go what we're gonna cover is understanding order flow around These lines in here. Okay the V WAP is volume weighted average Percentage, right? so It's the It's just a it's like a moving average, but it's based off of the volume. Okay, it's not based off of time In price action. It's based off of volume action right so Look at the bounce off of it right now now. That's easy to call Because I actually I wouldn't know that until I started to see some of this up here Back into 90. Okay, so I'm seeing buyers buy off of the V WAP here Okay, so I'm looking for them to come back up into 95 now and we know what's up at 95 These guys the hundred lot traders are up here at 95 so So a very very simple strategy right off the bat You know look for this as being resistance and then support And now the order flow off of that. Okay, what does the order flow look like in here off of that? Well buyers pull back not a whole lot of selling but buyers again here So I'm looking for them to move it away from V WAP up to 95 Make sense Okay, so now what we're doing very simply is looking for the the price action and the order flow around V WAP Okay, and there's a trading strategy right there So POC same same idea Actually, actually, I really like POC. I use it for I Never really look at the POC indicator to be honest I just look at the ranges and I can see it in the the CVP columns here Which stands for chart range volume profile, which means like if I zoom in this is my volume profile for what's viewable here? Okay, look at that top edge that we should get our move right now in the 94 95 Let's see it. Let's see buyers up here Little bit of exhaustion there got to get more buyers up here And we at 92 and a half and we should should get the move back up in a 94 95 here Okay, there's a little more on the offer as well on the bid here Kind of push that ah the buyers sellers go for it. Okay. Well, they trade into it And let's see if we can get back up here again at 93 and Get that bounce Or that move up in a 95 Okay, we're still we're just in the range right now Hey So still looking for we can get back up here More buyers and then 95. All right, so the What was that covering it? Oh, yeah, okay, what I like about POC is just showing the point of control guys I mean, it's one number which is great Or you see you'll see developing points of control as well. It just means price is attracted Well, it just means it's the most traded or more traded levels compared to others And usually that means that price is pretty happy there or you know, it accepts there Okay, so if that is the case Then it can transact up there Right, so that's where you'd look for it to move back there And that's kind of a mean reversion tactic that maybe price moves away from it and It doesn't really sell Off enough like down in here. It'll move back into where it can trade Where other transactions took place? Okay, so just a very simple concepts in here But very very effective as well Okay, so for example in some of these smaller ranges in here You know here's exploring the top edge here now up in here. I've got to see I've got to see Lots of buyers and then we can get it if you explore up into 97 worst first looking for 95 Okay, we still know that larger players here and and you can see it a hundred and twenty two and it's the same player He's likely up here at 97 our large lot tracker the little white line shows that it's probably a hundred lot Okay, so he's at two different areas here and Yeah, let's let's see them move up into it here. Let's see if we can get it the What was I gonna cover so the volume profile Or no the POC like yeah, if you you know if if price can't trade up into these areas in here We don't find enough buyers Well, we'd look for it to revert back into where it can trade. This looks like a good area right here And there's a few 92 and then also this 91 and a quarter Okay, so maybe we'll get a pull back there then maybe we'll maybe we'll find buyers Hey down here this in our profile. What does this mean down here? This is your low volume node What that means is that not a lot transacted down here And that's all it means Hey, well, so is that? You know if we see a move back down here. Do you want to scoop it up?  Where it it does have value, so this would be discount and this would be value up in here Rob the trader you still have much to learn about market polls. It's pretty simple. It really is the market. Yeah, it is amazing I love it It's it's really simple. I mean it depends on the algo we've demoed a few Three different algos. In fact, the one we've demoed the most though is the volume pressure Algo is very very simple just when Picks up when there's a lot of selling or buying. That's it Alright, alright you view app traders. So look at this. I mean this is again Why I mean we're looking for 95 97 you got to control your risk though and you know, maybe when you see something up here like you jump out and It's Okay Alright, so now does does it do is this a is this a buy down here? Well, there's gonna be view app traders probably buying off of here Okay, alright. Well, if you want to follow along with them, then maybe back up to here 89 or 90 right as a as a knee jerk reaction off of this Just to see the order flow come back up into 90 Okay, it might even come back up into 92 it might if we get enough buyers in here, then we'll get our move 95 and 97 Hey, so yeah, it looks actually pretty good. There's some buying.  Let's see Hmm not that's so big not so big Larger players coming in here right now Around this 92 and a half level. Anyway, anyway guys, you can see there's so many different ways to Understand and and and look for strategies around the order flow in here I'm trying to go over many we can go over also candlestick patterns in here You know, we can overlay the candlestick chart. This is one minute. No five minute All right Five five minute candlestick chart. You know, this is not looking too good for the candles at least Wicks on both sides still in the middle of this this candle here All right, so that doesn't give us much insight And we'd be looking to buy down here and and basically sell up in here Now what you could do is This would be kind of your Trade it from the inside out Basically from the mean in here if you see enough cell volume you can you can look for a move down here Hey, or the opposite and it looks looks pretty good. They're starting to pick up on the buy side Okay, well then buyers should be able to trade it back up into the the sellers up in here, right? Okay, again from the inside out instead of from the outside in Of the candle Hey, so we're looking for selling pressure up here Hey, we're looking for buying pressure aggressive market buy orders here to come up into the these sellers up in here Okay, and yeah looks That looks okay, yeah, I mean I'm still we're still seeing buyers here So looking for them to kind of come up here and test the top of the range here Hey now in terms of a strategy boy, I you know, I'm not gonna hang my hat on that one That's not a whole lot. Hey, we're looking for the the order flow to come The outcome to be in this direction here, but in terms of it being higher probability No Not my book you're looking for 96 plus captain price. Yeah, maybe Let's let's go over that like you can you guys can look at these like top edges bottom edges, whatever like a weak top I'm not really I mean it might do it. You know back to 4100 but like you know looking at your your Not only your profile, but like the transactions up in here, which actually they're not bad up here So I would agree with you on that They look pretty good in here Therefore we should get more buyers in here likely and then and then in 95 and and you know 97 maybe you know 100 but Because it it's already auctioned up here Right and now now we're starting to see a little bit more here. That's good. It's starting to build out this kind of You know p-shaped here at least it's a double distribution, but like you know if we zoom in we'll see it'll we'll see a p-shape Okay, so yeah, it's that's how you get a weak top And that's how you'll get like this is kind of one element And then we're looking for it to come up and do the other and then you have your single distribution Right it explored this area up here And it's looking pretty good. All right guys. Let's uh, if you like this video Or you like these webinars, please hit the like button Much appreciated that this is You know if you if you don't like it hit the don't like button. I mean we're trying to cover What it is you guys want to cover? and answer your questions go through strategies go through understanding order flow within your strategies to give you that edge and There are a lot of different ways to look at it. We have a lot of different tools in here That can give you that edge. So yeah, please hit the like button and Then we will call it a week for at least the This webinar we have Tom be next we have options with Doug after that We also have a Spanglish trades right right after this webinar at 1130 East Coast time It will be in Spanish with Frank and looking forward to that so Yeah, more events following. Okay, so yeah, thanks everybody and We will catch up with you next week


watching behind the scenes divine intimacy radio and just Waiting for everybody to queue up Pray that having a blessed Lent The only thing I want to tell you about today is to go check out our events out on the spirits of direction comm web page spirits of direction comm forward slash events and Are we are we advertising the women's discernment spirits retreat here? Yes, yes the The beds in the retreat center are filled But we still have more room for women and if they sleep in local hotels Yeah, so she's got all the information there So it's discernment of spirit and spiritual warfare and discernment of spirits women's retreat here at our Retreat center. I believe Mount Carmel retreat center in Montgomery, Alabama. Yeah, and it's a 20 minutes from a local airport, so it's easy to find but it's remote. It's beautiful and you and I are going to co-teach that We are very good. So check that out. Why don't we jump into the show on your market? So I go this is Dan and Stephanie Burke. Welcome to divine intimacy radio your radio Haven of rest You're hermetic of the heart. Are you sleeping at the wheel? Sorry? I Went somewhere else. You want to try that again? No, that's okay Well, we lift our hearts and minds to heaven to draw on the wisdom of the saints to help us to navigate this crazy life that we live and We have a question about Someone who's struggling with where is God? Okay? So Where did it go? I can't see it. We can't even see it on there. It's what causes what causes? Okay, here it is. Okay. Sorry. There's a lot of words on this page and caffeine. Yeah, maybe What causes the loss of the sense of God when living a sacramental life and avoiding sin? I've been wandering in the arid desert for decades and I can't seem to encounter God in prayer Okay, so let's do a little diagnosis The loss of the sense of God so the so when living a sacramental life and avoiding sin So I think we can assume That she her spiritual life is here he he or she is a spiritual life is healthy And that there's no problems there that's often a problem with aridity The absence of the presence perceived presence of God is Called aridity and it's often caused by neglect of spiritual disciplines or sin But this person is saying is indicating they're living a healthy, you know life of the faith according to What they know, right? Yeah, cuz you know that that requires a deeper conversation that go ahead Yeah, I mean we can touch on that a little bit one of the reasons in our spiritual direction Program the heart of Christ school that we require people to take a moral theology course as an example is because most Catholics don't know their moral theology and so sometimes and and even you know when people come for Healing work. I think I asked you the other day. How many times did they come to you in prayer for healing and and Liberation that sort of thing and they discovered a sin that was unconfessed that was serious You said every time so that's so there's there's there's two issues there There's an issue of awareness and then there's an issue of understanding, right? And so a lot of Catholics don't understand their own their moral Catholic moral teaching They don't know what an intrinsic evil was when I met you you thought it was you thought contraception was okay And that's actually a mortal sin So that's just an example. So one you got to make sure you understand the faith We'll assume the best here, but yeah, and I think And to be clear when we're talking about those that have come when Regarding that question that you asked me about those that have come for healing and deliverance When I say that It's it's not generally like a big old sin like they went and robbed a bank kind of thing and they just remembered it And it's like oh, I had forgotten all about me robbing that bank at gunpoint when I was 15 Yeah, that's not generally yet. It's generally some area of Unforgiveness But they would intellectually believe that they had forgiven and people will sit there and say I've done the work I've done the work. I forgot I've forgiven. I've forgiven but through that process of discernment and going through it it is incredible what the Lord reveals and Then you say oh no, I actually I thought I had but I'm still carrying that Yeah, I'm still carrying that or there's this oh, but I was having this conversation and it was I was you know I was listening to the pain of another and they didn't realize that they were engaging in gossip and Detraction and call it Calumny because that's a you know, so things like this where people don't understand That when the Lord calls us to holiness and when he calls us to be perfect as his as the Heavenly Father is perfect We're talking down to the minutiae of our behavior not in a legalistic way, but in eradicating those bad habits bad Generational practices or or we were taught to behave this way or everybody in our family acted this way or whatever That has kept us in a place where we're not free Where the Lord's grace is really just yeah able to run with us because we're holding on to something or some sort Baggage, right? Yeah, so what we're doing You know as she and I are stepping our happiness conversation is if we had a person in front of us We wouldn't just assume that well they said well, I don't have a sin problem. We wouldn't go. Oh, that's great moving on We would say well, what does that mean? What is sin? What's the difference between mortal and venial sin? Do you understand what intrinsic evil is? What do you struggle with? Yeah, what do you struggle with where you know? Where are your thoughts when you first wake up in the morning?  Well, then that's you know, not true forgiveness, right? So that would be one thing and then it says I've been wandering in the air of this desert for decades I can't seem to encounter God in prayer. So there's a couple of issues here. What kind of prayer? How are you praying? You know if you're practicing a discipline of mental prayer and You're not allowing distractions to take you away from it and you're being faithful to it Daily and you've been doing that for years and let's assume it's healthy under the guidance of a spiritual director, right? Let's assume it's healthy. I Can't seem to encounter God in prayer indicates a striving for something. That's not your business to strive for She'll say it nicer than me, but it's you're you're exiting out. You're you're saying I want this feeling and and That's it's a dangerous thing. It's dangerous for a couple of reasons one The enemy could give it to you when you're when you're striving for it Or two, you could get frustrated or upset with God when it's not anything that he's promised us And in fact what may be happening to you assuming all the best is That in the later purgative stage when you're past habitual mortal and venial sin Say that again when you're past when you're past habitual mortal and venial sin That means you're not going to confession for the same thing over and over again You know in near succession And you've been praying for years and your sacramental life is sound What often the Lord will do and it's it's where the realm of John of the cross is Take you through a deeper kind of purgation Wherein he removes all sensory Feelings that you would like that are pleasurable And and he takes you into the desert when the what's the desert like the desert is called the desert because it's arid It's dry. There's not a lot of life. There's not a lot of water. It's difficult It's hard to find, you know, what you need for your sustenance and so and his so But the the reason he takes us into the desert is to purify our love To to teach us to come to a place of love where we're not Expecting something back from him because of course he's given us everything and and he owes us nothing We let we desire the giver of the gifts not the gifts themselves But some but this question could indicate that opposite has happened right or or some combination there that's a little imbalanced So the key is is understanding is finding a spiritual director who knows This transition from the purgative to the illuminative to help you dissect I teach a course in the Aval Institute called foundations of prayer and union with God where I go into this transition In in some depth, but you can also find the details in a scent of Mount Carmel John of the cross book I think it's book to chapter 13 in that realm that realm of the of his writings too But the key the one key question is do you desire to pray and If you're in aridity and you desire to pray that is a and all the other things are good and right Then that's what we would call likely contemplative aridity could be yeah could be if you if the Aridity causes you to move away from God and you don't desire to pray. That's rooted in something Or destructive. Yeah oppressive or something that needs to be rooted out in in healing or You know given over to a spiritual director to discern with you that that the piece that that I find interesting here is the word decades Decades. Yeah, that's not normative. Yeah, that's not normative for for the aridity. That's the transitional Certainly been my experience, you know Yeah, but but you've transitioned, right? So I'm talking about those people that are in the transition To to be stuck for decades in aridity is is not, you know It's not normative. It generally is after about a year or so of really deep prayer with a spiritual direction They might have that for a while But again, like it's it's really hard to diagnose this not Yeah speaking to them, but that word decades is interesting. So you know, you got to talk to your spiritual director Yeah, I would do that. Okay The other course that I teach that could help you is spiritual warfare and discernment of spirits Yeah, that's if especially if your aridity Causes you to not want to pray. Yeah, or draw that's an indicator of the bad spirits messing with you If your prayer if your prayer is a prayer of centering prayer mindfulness, that's an issue too. Yeah So it's just really requires a lot more conversation. Yeah diagnosis here. Okay. What's another question you want to tackle? The difference between life coaching and spiritual direction It's an interesting issue that's becoming more and more common a lot of psychologists are Getting into the realm of life coaching Influencers are getting into the area like coaching life coaching is about organizing yourself To optimize your humanity. I think that's probably a good way to say it. So learning how to how to how to Be a better steward of your time talents and resources and spiritual direction is about discerning God's will and Understanding how to follow God's will it's about the interior. It's about the interior life. And yeah, so, you know, I I wouldn't I mean I was gonna say something and I realized that would kind of rule you out when I first Lured you into giving spiritual direction to people but Uh, you don't have to go to a school to be a director. But of course Um, you if you have the charism that with the school, that's the best Because you're you're backing up that you know, the calling of God with The formation you need to understand the interior life. But I just You're not going to get that kind of thing through a coaching school or a life coach. Yeah Yeah, life coaching is one thing spiritual direction is another Um, can they work very well in conjunction with each other? Sure. Sure. Um, given that, you know, if it's a really great life coach that's not focused on You know the things of the world, right? Yeah that they that they're actually truly catholic, but You know, it they are two different things. Can they work together? Sure. Absolutely Um, and they should serve one another because whatever you're being asked to do as a life coach Shouldn't be working against your interior life. Right. Um, but the most important thing is the salvation of your soul Yeah, so it's well said. Okay. How about we go to a break? Oh, let's do that. Okay. We'll be right back Okay, last segment surviving Okay 13 minutes on this one. I don't even know how much I was watching the time we could we could have done we could do one more out of these questions Yeah, so the next one we'll do is daily since we're staying let's stay on the spiritual stuff. Okay. Um Right now does daily mass attendance effect Yep You ready? Yeah any markets that go This is Dan Stephanie Burke. Welcome back to divine intimacy radio. We're talking about The interior life and questions about that Do I have one for you? You ready? Okay How does daily mass attendance affect spiritual progress? I sometimes feel guilty when I don't go given the relative availability of daily mass in my area And even though I'm still even though I'm still praying daily. Okay. Okay So there's a word right in that little tiny question That's super important that needs to be rooted out What's that guilty? I don't know. Maybe it's the good spirits No, no, the lord does not invoke guilt. You don't think he convicts. Yeah, he does not condemn guilt is that's that's not of The lord, especially because we're talking about daily mass. We're not talking about sunday mass. Yeah So, um, it would be appropriate to feel extraordinarily bad If you were not going to sunday mass if you were not making those efforts because you know I'm tired, you know, my kids have a soccer game, you know Uh, I'd rather sit on my couch and eat chips and watch the football game. Okay. There is a problem. Yeah um That's one thing and and we need to get that rightly ordered daily mass is not required It's just a beautiful Holy thing to do If it doesn't contradict your state of life Like if I was going to daily mass to the detriment of my relationship with my husband And you know, he he was asking things of me and wanted good holy things and I'm here to help him But I'm like, you know, you got to hold on because I got to go to daily mass and I'll I'll check you later Then that's that's not a rightly ordered thing So how does But if all those things are good and we're being called to daily mass The way it affects us is because of who we're going to see We're going to see jesus. Okay. So if I go and sit with jesus truly present You know body blood soul and divinity If if he feeds me with his body blood soul and divinity through the hands of the priest If I sit in his presence and I pray if I'm Engaging with the most important act of prayer This side of heaven, which is the holy sacrifice of the mass Will it increase my Sanctity Yes, yes. Yes. If I'm properly disposed if I'm not in a state of mortal sin It is going to affect my sanctity. It's going to Every every holy reception of the Eucharist watches washes away venial sin It strengthens us for the journey. It it strengthens us against venial sin and mortal sin So we are cleansed. We're we're we're more filled with the lord And every time we're filled with the lord then that grace that we've received his presence We become living tabernacles Going out into the world to love and serve those he's entrusted to us So it is absolutely transformative I've had a number of spiritual directees who when life circumstances Allowed it And they started to make that practice first we'd say, you know, why not try one extra mass a week? They would do that and then they started to feel the grace and oh Boy, this you know, this feels good. I I feel better. I feel stronger I feel more spiritually alert and awake And and I'm growing in holiness and virtue Then they'll desire more and more And I find it to be truly addictive like I Something's wrong when I don't get to be with the lord when I don't get to to receive him. So Guilt is not there. It's not necessary. It's not good So push away the guilt But as you can according to the availability according to your state of life and And your physical ability to go go as often as you can receive those graces and You'll be better off for it by Loads. Yeah, I always think, you know, if folks have the opportunity to go To mass more frequent and they don't take it that they have a profound Uh, they have a profoundly impoverished understanding of what is going on in the holy sacrifice of the mass It's not a it's not a burden for your time Yeah, the uh, every time somebody has habitual sin That I come in contact specifically serious sin You know the first thing I'm going to do is say can frequent confession frequent Eucharist Those are the greatest sources of grace the sight of heaven To help us to grow spiritually. So okay, uh, there you go Next question Okay, you can ask that one Okay, uh, what if you are separated because your spouse was leading you to sin And have grown stronger in your faith apart boy That's a quagmire of a question Yeah Right. Yeah, I mean, you know We don't know enough here to really speak to this question Um, it's a dangerous question. It is it is a very dangerous question Right. Um, now separation is allowed in extreme cases Where one or the other spouse is in You know, there's very destructive super super destructive behavior or whatever. Um, but it's not You know, it's it's not god's will right It is not god's will To be separated from your spouse Um, normally under normative circumstances now if if You know, there's just so much here Right because leading you to sin. Um, nobody can Lead you to sin you have to cooperate with sin, right, you know So if dan decides to go rob a bank Um, and and says come with me I don't have to follow I don't have to follow And and so if I'm if I'm not strong enough in in my own spiritual practices That I'm capitulating to sin. That's you know, that's a Then I need to you know get right with the lord both spouses need to be right with the lord And what what I would say is You need to come to a marriage retreat Yeah But together or separately because we've even had we did have one woman She said my husband can't make it can I come alone and it's not normative but we said sure And it affected her so much the next year. She was there with her husband So it just kind of woke things up and shook shook out some of the leaves and the The fogginess of what was happening in their relationship and they came back So, you know, there's just too much here and and you can't yeah, you couldn't you can't confirm somebody in this and Without really understanding what's going on But it is the lord wants to heal you in and through Your marriage. He loves your marriage. He He wants it to be restored and if we think about The revelations to the children at Fatima Sister Lucia said in the end The battle will be be between Be against family family and marriage So if you don't think all of hell is trying to break up your marriage um You're delusional, you know another another thing about that. I think that people Most actually I would say 99.9 percent of Catholics don't know Is that apart from the Eucharist and reconciliation The greatest grace is a married couple can receive is is in and through their sacramental marriage. Yeah the It is a sacrament. It brings grace. Yeah, we always talk about At the beginning of our marriage retreats that an exorcist asked us to assist him And he the reason he gave shocked us both. I mean, we were in that 99 percent until he said what he said and he said I want you to help to participate in the exorcism because Your the way you live your life and in your marriage Will protect me as an exorcist in the right. It was absolutely shocking, you know, and and it's it is really um propelled our own I I think um doggedness about the importance of marriage and the sacrament of marriage Um, it it affected our own the way we lived it out. I think it became more um just all the more at the four of We're not going to let the devil come in here We're we're not we're going to fight towards one another and not allow the enemy to destroy us or Or to tear us down. Um, that doesn't mean there aren't terrible difficulties but um The lord loves you as individuals He loves your marriage and he wants to do something profound in and through it Yeah, one of the other that you got to fight for that one of the other things we say in the retreat that I think is inspired If I might be so bold is this this It's a saying it's I have the spouse I have Because the need I need the spouse I have for my salvation. Yeah, however incredibly difficult that can be And there are some cases where when there's abuse, we're not saying, you know, that you That you don't separate in that sense, you know, that's different. Yeah, we're not talking about Occasional bouts of anger and yelling and and having a few fits here and there Uh, we're talking Life in danger physical harm. Yeah life in danger kind of abuse Sexual abuse. Yeah. Yeah, those kind of things, but there are so many resources So check out divine intimacy and marriage retreats Where can they find that they can find that it's spiritualdirection.com forward slash events. There you go. Next one is Well, it's I'm time stamping this podcast, but we will be having some Upcoming in the in the northeast area Trinidad, you know around the world So check those out keep an eye on that Um, and then there are just there's a number of other resources good. Holy Catholic resources So what I want to say is don't give up. Don't give up. Don't give up, you know We have we've had people come through here And and where the one spouse wasn't cooperating but the other was and they received profound healing Went back. We we continued to coach and work with them And they are now after almost two years um Reconciled the divorce proceeding was was stopped And they're planning on attending a marriage retreat coming up and all of heaven is rejoicing. Yeah, and their children Um will now witness what it means when you hit a trial you don't give up and run Yeah, you find a way through because you made a vow to god and each other And you're you believe in the power of god to heal and restore and even divorce is no Point of no return. We know several couples who have actually divorced and then remarried Which is a beautiful uh thing to hear about when you know, we're all broken We're all we're all humans trying to figure things out and we we often don't do the right thing but god be praised We have a god of forgiveness Of healing of healing And there's always a road there's always a way to follow him and we just need to say yes And and he'll help us to figure that out and cry out to him. So We're grateful to have you with us on divine intimacy radio.

Some of my bourbon smoked black pepper from the other day. We're gonna use a second binder on this, just a little bit of oil. We're gonna hit it with the Dano's Crunchy. Swing it over, lock it in. All right y'all, we're an hour and a half in. We're gonna flip these over, let them continue. We let them cook for about 20 minutes with the meat side down. We're gonna let this continue to do its thing. All right, it's time, it's been three hours. Let's go get a bite. Get a bite of that. I'm telling you what, there's not a lot of meat on that, but the meat that's on there is absolutely delicious. That's Chipotle with the Crunchy, the binder of the Sriracha, absolutely amazing. Hope y'all enjoyed the video. Like I said, it was my first time doing it. So be nice, see you next time, keep sprinkling.


Hi everybody. Thanks for being here. Thanks for listening. Today I would like to talk to you about how temperature data from space can actually solve the challenges of food security on Earth. It's kind of a difficult connection but I'll try to make that connection for you. So first of all you all know that in about 25 years from now we're going to be 10 billion people on the planet and we need more food to sustain those 10 billion people. To do that we need about two and a half times the area of crops we have now. However we probably have around 30% less of area compared to about 20 years ago. And also much-needed regulations to reduce fertilizer use will also lead to a loss in yield, another 20% lost. The biggest contribution however will come from climate change directly. So up to 50% of the yield will be lost due to rising, rising temperatures. This will lead to a massive increase of crop prices and that's not like cash crops. This is really basic crops, maize, soy, paddy and this is mainly driven by an increase in water prices. 6 to 12 times by 2030. That is six harvests left. So how the hell can we solve this and what does temperature play a role? So in this case temperature determines three important cycles. The pillars of food security. The first cycle is the water cycle determining where you can grow things. The second cycle is the energy cycle, how fast things grow. And Finland typically is energy limit whereas a country like France is typically water limited. And whenever you grow something what you do is actually sequestration of atmospheric, so you're two into biomass or sugar as a buff and below the ground, which means the carbon cycle. So all of these three cycles critically dependent on a single variable, temperature. So temperature determines how much water is available, how much water you need. It determines if you're in the optimal range of temperatures for maximum growth and therefore also determines the carbon cycle. So what Consola does in a nutshell is we measure temperature, we do so from space to support global food security at the field level. And this is how it looks. Obviously this has palm trees but it's not an agriculture picture but it gives an idea of what you can see in these temperature images. Red being hotter temperatures and blue being cooler temperatures. It will completely change our understanding of our planet at a level and accuracy which has never been possible before. And why the heck do we do this from space? Can we just put weather stations in the field? And the answer is yes but agriculture is vast. So you need something which allows you to have global coverage and space systems have this global coverage. You also need something which is reliable. So you can afford putting a very, very expensive camera which you couldn't put on the room into a satellite to get the best data possible because it's all about data quality in the end. What's really important to ensure the uptake by the end user, which is the farmer, is that it's hassle free. You don't want to install things in your field, get them out before harvest and then actually clean poop from whatever birds in between. That's something you simply don't want to do. It needs to be timely in order to be able to support your use case. So you don't need it every 10 minutes but you probably need daily information. And again here satellites are key. But most importantly for food security is the scalability of the approach because 60% of all the area in the world is in South Africa and South America. That's going to be the fruit basket of the future. So we need to make sure that we transport technology there which is supporting us at the price level which can be matched. And this is exactly what Consular is doing and where we are outstanding in our field. We focus on data quality. We focus on the reliability on the measurement of the measurement. And there are other companies and they're completely fit for purpose just not agriculture which might focus on resolution for defense use cases or coverage for wildfire or use other parts of the spectrum, not the thermal spectrum, to do other use cases. They're all good. But if you want to do environmental monitoring you need to be tailored to agriculture in the end and that's what we are. And this shows in the traction we have so far. It shows that we have been able to acquire 3 million in AIR already ahead of launch, a year ahead of launch for product which doesn't really exist. It shows you how much the market is waiting for this. And we are selling this as we speak not only to governments but mostly to seed producers, to big machine producers, to agri companies which are doing crop protection, which are producing fungicides, fertilizers, so the big agri tech companies of this world. Let's pause it for a moment because I talked about food security at the beginning and what would the actual effect be of this technology being unleashed to the world? The effect would be that assuming a single use case, right, we assume we just optimize irrigation, we're not using the whole capacity of the satellite network, looking at 2027, four satellites in orbit, we're looking at, let's say, 15% of that capacity reused for other things, used in smart irrigation. We could save up to 60 billion tons of water every single year, more than 10 megatons of CO2 every single year with an end user benefit that's at the farmer's side in the billions. If you would use this water just from this 15% of capacity used of the satellites and reapply it to other fields, you could add another 100 million people fed on this planet. So without any more resources feeding another 100 million people, a multitude of the number of inhabitants in this country. So take our messages. The big problem is water. Food security is in fact water security. And climate change is also in fact water security. And the first sector which will be hit is agriculture. It's an early victim, but it's also a solution. It's the biggest leverage we have because it is the biggest user of water on the planet. 70% of all water goes into agriculture. The good news is there is thermal monitoring from space. And this seems to be a viable solution. We already sent something in space last year on the space station. We showed that technology is working. We're now working towards the commodization, the first two satellites are in production and are going to be launched within a year from now. So we are at the onset of re-evaluating the understanding of our entire planet away from pretty pictures, which are still important, but not necessary for this use case, going to the actual bio-physical reality of our planet. So take our messages if there are some. I would like to remember you the following. First of all, and as a sad promise, in three years from now, people will talk more about water than they're talking about carbon today. That is a very sad promise, but I'm 100% convinced that this is going to be the case. The next message is that Earth's observation, in particular thermal monitoring from space, will be key in tackling this challenge. But again here, the truth is, we do not have a lot of time. This is super urgent. Agriculture will be the sector, which will be hit fastest and hardest. And if we don't solve this problem in the next five to six years, this means that a lot of the innovations you see around here, which are amazing, won't really matter anymore because we will have bigger problems in our hands. So make sure that you invest your time, your energy, your purpose into the right fields. Make sure of that. And together, we can still win this fight. I'm optimistic that we can. So we should and we will win this fight. We will win it for you, for us and most importantly, for the generation to come. Thank you very much.
