Good morning. Welcome everybody. Let's hope the YouTube is working well today and that people in Discord can also see this. On the Discord we have a dedicated channel so feel free to put any comments in there. I'm just turning off a couple of sound alerts that would otherwise distract from the broadcast. This is a pre-market breakfast broadcast. My name is Moby. I've got a very very quick bio on this page but first of all I'll just do some housekeeping. General disclosure all book map limited materials information and presentations are for education purposes only and should not be considered specific investment advice nor recommendations. 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.  Yeah I've been around quite a while I've seen a few different things being involved in a few different careers. I still maintain a very very high interest in the markets. I've got a very background in terms of words and numbers and these days I also love programming so I'm involved in the display and automated side of the market. Let me get rid of that.  Okay the the agenda for today. By the way if there are any comments on the YouTube I can see them and I can talk to those comments if anybody has any questions. So a very quick reference to an update on book map overnight. I don't know whether anybody has relaunched their book map or not since today started but I notice that there has been an SI update, Stops and icebergs indicator update both of the on-chart and the subchart indicators. I'm a big user of those and I will speak to those frequently. It also yeah it also feeds into some of the issues I've been having this week. I think yeah I think anybody that watched the show last week or last Wednesday knows that I had some YouTube glitches and I think one of the things I'd just like to say is that technology issues are part and parcel of this game. I'm extremely lucky in that I have another backup PC it's it's a PC I was working back before it's six years old but it works beautifully. I was able to pick it up plug it back in and separately work on the new build which I've talked about and now that is back up and running and that is what I'm using for the streaming. So it's just another issue that you've got to be aware of in your trading. You've got to have a technology plan and that includes a backup plan. Right okay a quick recap of trading styles. I mentioned on Wednesday that I am a jack of all trades so I'll look at all forms of price action and I'll also look at other information which I can believe will give you some form of edge in the current scenario and that will change rapidly so for all the under 10 years that I've been looking at futures the little edges that I've used to supplement my trading decisions have changed and we'll talk about one of those which is listed their options magnets a little bit later on. Let me just pull up just this is a very basic Wycoff chart. There's no copyright nothing I pulled this one off the internet I've drawn one many a time before for myself. I first came across Wycoff towards the beginning of my trading about nine years ago and it simply is in layman's terms a mechanism for the bigger players in the market to take the price from the lows to the highs and from the highs to the lows. So we're talking about accumulation to take it from the lows to the highs and from the highs to the lows and this feeds into some of the setups that we're going to repeatedly talk about day after day on this webinar. One of the ones I mentioned on Wednesday or it really covers about two or three is getting in into this accumulation phase. We talked about breakout failures where it goes down and then bounces straight back up so they're looking for fuel normally stop runs and trapping sellers before they get a cheap enough price to take it higher. I can reference this this chart again and again just having a quick look see if there's any questions. Okay, but it I would call this a framework of reference framework for how I view the overall market. It is not edge in itself. It is just a map of how bigger players manipulate and manipulates an interesting word but how bigger players move the market from lows to highs and from highs to lows and very much in between. Okay, going back to the agenda volume profile. If I'm actually going to go on to these two charts next which are actually of the European session or the London Open which is at three o'clock New York time just about there and that's the ES I believe and the other one is the NQ. I have my displays of price in Sierra to be limited by digits to keep the columns narrow so I'm just checking exactly which one that one is. Yeah that was that's NQ and that is ES. Okay and I want to interface that with the Wyckoff diagram so that we can see for example if we focus this part of the discussion on the springs or the breakout failures and how in every single session you can get those in NQ and ES. So I have not got my marker on here so I'll just use the cursor. You've got a little breakout failure there. You've got a you've got a climax here if I reference back to the diagram. You've got you've got a little breakout failure here. In fact you've got two. You've got one there, one there. You've got another one just here which is a breakout failure of that one and then they ride it up to the top. In ES it's the same again. You've got multiple breakout failures. The easiest ones are spotter here, here and there's a couple around here and here and something which is very very close and I call it just about the same is a test of the same area or a double bottom in this case. It's the same principle. The bigger players are looking for a cheaper price to get positioned so they can drive the market higher and when we move off to book map we will see that that's effectively what they've been doing for the entire afternoon. Quickly before I do forget let us have a look at the calendar. This is today's calendar and the US core PCE just to remind ourselves that in about 20 minutes we're going to switch to just focusing on the live pricing action and observing not trading just observing the level of volatility that should come in at 830. So is that right? Okay let me just move on to the next one which I want to show you about. It's another screenshot before we go on and start dragging around on book map. You will often hear me talk about why I believe it's a good idea to have the ability to zoom in and out quickly on book map. One of the the main reasons that I upgraded my computer and primarily the memory and the graphics card was that the previous build was stuttering when I wanted to drag back and zoom out and zoom in. So here we've got we've got NQ and ES in the Asian session so you can see the time there that's 11 p.m. at night New York time and the NQ we'll just start talking about that as a good example of why it's good to use book map both from a very very zoomed-in micro perspective and also in the Globex session from a zoomed-out perspective just to see where the bigger players manipulating the pressure and by the pressure and the magnetism of the market. So you can see here they added 175 in NQ at this level which is about 15, 5, 6, 5, 15, 5, 6, 0 if I can read that correctly just blow that up yeah 15, 5, 6, 5, okay they set that as the reference point it was tested once and they moved away but where did they come back to to get their fuel for the current driver and as I speak we're we're at the Globex high either high of the overnight session they came straight back to that resting liquidity you cannot tell from the screenshot and unfortunately it was on my old computer before I plugged in my new one later today whether that was actually filled or not I'm talking about this this liquidity of about 105, 200 contracts but that was the price that they wanted to get in on and if we go back to the Wycoff picture they basically wanted to drive it back down to here which is their accumulation zone to drive it back up to there. What will happen at 830 is anybody's guess and we're not here to predict the future but it's just interesting to use this and then reference what we see in book map and if we switch over to ES and exactly the same time period I think I may have this zoomed out more. What's interesting here apart from this resting liquidity which is very similar to the one we saw in NQ is where they started placing the liquidity further out for future reference so as they moved higher here they placed that liquidity there so if you had zoomed out you'd have been able to see that level there at 4580 which has been tested so many times in the last week so you know that's an important volume profile level and you know we can get back back to that when I pull over a Sierra volume profile chart but one of the beauties of Globex trading is that some of these levels are much much clearer and certainly in the way that they approach them or quickly approach them in the Globex session than in the RTH session so in the RTH session for example that might be a perfectly valid level you know magnetic level saying they want to drive it up to that price but you might get so much action bouncing up down up down up down up down whereas in Globex I mean this is a relatively short period of time between the time they got fuelled up here and they hit that level there and then this other level here which is getting towards the ramp number at 460 that was taken out in Europe but it's just interesting I just thought a zoomed out picture to show you how useful the resting liquidity levels can be in ES might might be good um aha I've got a comment thanks Michael yeah I'm not on my own normal microphone Michael's just pointed out that I may have some sibilance or or pops on this microphone I'll just move it away a little bit I'm on my headset I do have what I think is got a nice microphone but I I'm not 100 percent certain that it's it's correctly set up for a streaming session I'll be back on that next week but for for this purpose I'm just using headset a Plantronics headset which hopefully is relatively loud and clear but thanks for the comment Michael I've moved it a little bit further away from my mouth and hopefully there's less sibilance okay um yeah I I I just wanted to to show that and I'm going to drag in and before we really do focus on book map let me see if I can drag it in I'm going to drag in a volume profile chart and see if we can just break down this session um and why why this relates back to the Wycoff chart that we looked at a little bit earlier so in the old Wycoff terminology you could consider that as a selling climax and on the volume profile it's um it's a it's a strong low I'd call it there are many different terms that people use for a low with a very very thin wick but strong low as opposed to poor low is one terminology that I do use and that can often mean that it will not be revisited in the very very near future although nothing is stopping it coming back later um but it's just interesting seeing how this is broken up and how that then turns into a profile what I'm trying to say is that there is a tremendous overlap between supply and demand or Wycoff and volume profile um I'd refer you all to my colleague Tom if you want to get deeply involved in volume profile but I just want to point out that it is something that I do think is useful and I do use in all my trading and that's why that chart has been built so it's it's both a market profile and a volume profile chart but that is not the purpose of this webinar I just wanted to point out the overlap between the two okay and it might be worth at this point let's have a look now we'll come back to that towards the end just pulling up the markets before we get towards 8 30 we're at 15 minutes in now um what I've got over here and I mentioned this in the first webinar that I jointly did with Bruce a couple of weeks ago before I was traveling this is a three minute chart of ES and NQ on the exactly the same time frame and zoomed out to exactly the same level um the shaded areas are just V-wap so if I just zoomed out there's V-wap there is a black line and that's the first standard deviation second standard deviation and third standard deviation in ever degreasing shades of gray and it's not because I think wow yeah V-wap is a magic level and we're going to take a long in in ES just there that is not why they're there it is just an approximation of current value in the intraday session in my own analysis I look at volume or value after the end of the session so I need a proxy for what may be forming as value during this session lots of people have different views that's just one and it's not something that I invented in fact most of what you use in your trading will not be what you invent it will be a synopsis of how other people trade and taking the best bits that you can apply with your own style in that trading so in other words this is just a simple three minutes chart just to give me context and perspective when we zoom in on to the ES and NQ charts okay we've got exactly the same tools that we have the other day but everything is now working as it should if we zoom out in ES and let's have a look just to describe what I was talking about I've only got just before the London Open here something around about 2am of action on this ES chart but you can see if I did zoom the vertical column out a bit and drag this up a bit you can see that effectively we've been driving up and in volume profile terms we've been filling in the rather thin profile of the breakdown moved during the RTH session and we're almost back at the settlement from two days ago so yeah I just want to describe that's how I start talking about bookmap and relating back to the other things that I see in GlobeX I'm always always interested in this heavy magnetic liquidity I call it magnetic because in GlobeX that's more often than not that's what it does the resting liquidity attracts the larger players or the algos because they know that they can transact business there this isn't necessarily the case in RTH it also acts as quite often a repulsion on first approach if it doesn't get filled and here you can see the repulsion and here on the second or third it begins to eat through it okay right so it appears that they have been driving back up towards previous value as we approach the 830 news and as I said we're not going to we are not going to trade that we're just going to observe that the other thing I wanted to talk about that I didn't really get across because of the technical issues in the previous session was to describe in a slightly better fashion how I view what is essentially a casino playing out and how we participate if we do want to participate on more than a very short-term basis we can go for our big big winners we can go for a very very wide stops but in my opinion that is not going to give you a long trading career and one of the things I want to harp about and the absolute principle or the core backbone of the trading that's going to be discussed in this webinar is the notion of equal sized losses and by that I mean equal sized dollar losses so the notion that when we start talking about trades it every single time I talk about a potential setup it is a 50-50 proposition in regards to that individual setup it is irrelevant how many times something very very similar or something that looks very very similar has worked in the past that individual trade is a 50-50 and that's why I drew this diagram just to explain how Edge works and I've looked at it both in terms of the second column mechanism for getting Edge and the third column so just to recap this this is a very small sample size this is 10 equal sized losers and we can approximate we can just say it's 10 losers of 10 dollars each so that's 100 dollars lost you can build it in with micro so that you know commission is fairly harmless in this analysis or you can you can bake it into how you trade one mechanism that I started off early in my career was a high win rate so that I was looking for something like a 70% win rate and if you focus on that you're more focused on the winners than you are actually getting the true value out of the trade so more often than not you'll find yourself being impelled by the desire to win to cut your winners at about one hour or even less sometimes which means that you have to have a very very high win rate and you have to have an incredible level of discipline that if you have one trade which or series of trade say three or four which just go against your one two three four that you still have the patience and the discipline on the very next trade to take the equal size loss and not let that loss become a three hour or a four hour or five hour so if you do that and you do have that level of patience and discipline that is a form of edge which simply is you have more wins and losses and the other one which is where we'll be aiming our discussion is having the ability with equal size losses but not equal sized winners so the paramount rule it doesn't always apply sometimes you'll see something in book map which tells you you've got to get out of a trade now because for example some big big players come in and it makes a lot of sense to ditch that but the paramount rule is that you should not take a trade less than one hour if you apply this methodology and with the same number of losses i.e. 10 winners you should have on average something slightly bigger than one so that despite having only a 50% win rate you're well ahead in terms of edge and again we're taking into account commission but that's just something i want to explain a bit better than i did the other day okay right okay bit um falling very far off touch very very briefly on i went half on it too much sorry i'm just dragging that away options magnets okay um i just wanted to i'll just drag it in again um let me just drag that volume profile shot in again okay i've got a tool i'm not going to talk about the vendor but one of the things that i do look at and this is one of various things that i look at in terms of where are they interesting getting priced to i look at volume profile i look at price action i look at supply and demand i do look at some of this zero dte options expiry so i do have levels here on this chart which will start to populate at the rth open 930 the we're talking about these dots here which are on different levels if i zoomed onto to the vertical axis you can see them a little bit easier um they're semi irrelevant for globe x what i find to be more useful for globe x is settlement and um you know volume profile you know high volume profile nodes and low volume profile nodes but i do have them there from the previous day but i do find um that on certain days again it's nothing as a hundred percent but on certain days it's quite useful to have in conjunction with book map seeing where where those levels are populating in terms of options purchasing because that that is often rather large sums of money to get the options activity at those levels okay we are coming up to on the clock 8 24 so we have six minutes until um until the marked open so yeah i was going to quickly run through the london open so let's have a quick look through that so in my in my terminology the london open really opens at the dax open the dax has a small pre-market session which is a few minutes before 2am new york time i'm talking um talking new york summer time here so 2am east eastern time um and the real open starts at 3am which is just there okay and if we zoom back out to what was the scenario now i actually move that all the way out to the beginning of this chart and drag it right out so we can see what the picture was an hour before the london open and by picture i'm just referencing the liquidity okay um we've got some resting liquidity below at 50 4550 i tend to discount the the truthfulness meaningfulness weight whatever word you wish to choose of heavy resting liquidity at a round number and by round number i mean 50s and 100s um in globe x and pre-market so that i take with a pinch of salt but what i do see there is a large large band of liquidity up above and in enqueue if we go back to about the same period and drag it back because i think it's quite useful to look at both them together even if you have zero interest in trading enqueue because it's a volatile beast and it's a different risk management proposition excuse me i'm just trying to drag it across come on okay it's close enough okay right um in enqueue i wouldn't say that um hold on yeah you've got this resting liquidity the just above from 2am through to 3am it's a little bit harder to see on this one unless i drag it back out yep sorry that's a bit easier to see isn't it okay that's a lot easier to see right so we've got some interesting bands of liquidity in enqueue and not and they're not at round numbers they add to the interest you've got this one at 15660 which has been stable throughout the period of this charts history and again i apologize that this doesn't go back through the asian session you've got another one at 670 and you've got another one that came in a bit flickering but came in and was relatively steady it's 678 um and below you didn't have much you had this wobble liquidity which is just market makers or sorry which may be or is most likely to be market makers on either edge of price at this current moment in time but you had resting liquidity clearly above um when you've got that that is a hint again nothing's nothing is for certain but it's a hint that they may want to go up and tag those resting liquidity levels and that is a feature to interpret what you might then see in the price action in es at the london open so when you've got these levels you know um sure you don't want to trade enqueue have a look and and see if you can get any long setups of your own volitional making in es knowing that enqueue can often drive the market in eth again it can be either es or enqueue that leads but one of them is likely to lead the other it is often enqueue and um yeah that's that's one of the ways in which i use that resting liquidity as it happens in this case it did drive up but um yeah it's just it's just a way of reading the market so the message there is you look at the two in tandem and see what are the clearest bits of information that you're getting from either or both of those markets that you can use in the market that you wish to trade okay the clock is saying eight twenty eight and forty seconds so we've got about a minute and a half before i'm just going to turn on the financial news feed and see if we can hear it as the uspce is released so we should move on to es we should zoom into the vertical column one minute remaining i'll be leading with the uspce price index year over year right so we're just going to have that on the background i will turn it off just after eight thirty it's just so that we can hear it as it's released and observe the action and we'll zoom right in so we're into the thirty second splits on the nq by 56 stop and i'm going to turn on the market pulse in fact i think i've got it on it's just been quite quiet quite surprisingly quiet for years i have no other market pulse um vocals on at the moment or audio on at the moment so as we approach we've got more liquidity above but we also know that we are approaching the value that we broke down from ten seconds okay let's just have a look still waiting on the pc numbers three percent three percent as expected month over month at zero spot two percent zero spot two percent as expected consumer spending month over month at zero spot five percent zero spot five percent higher than forecast zero spot four percent while the core pc year over year at four spot one percent four spot one percent that's lower than forecast four spot two percent core pc e month over month at zero spot two percent zero spot two percent as expected okay i'll turn that off now i've got some friends at financial juice and they will not mind me having done that by the way i do i do use that service every day so that's one of the things that will come across on this webinar that i use various bits of information i use i don't trade news as such but i unless it's something something awful in terms of very very bad news in the market um which happens in globe x and they will likely give me a follow-through after a first breakout um but it's something that i think is necessary to have some information on um i do think the economic releases are vital so you know when the volatility will occur but i do not predict which way they are going to go okay so just observing that action we have the liquidity above in es and the first thing that happened which seemed to be prior to the release of the pc numbers was the tag of the liquidity at four five nine four seventy five or four nine four five nine five and then a quick rejection or a stop run of 46 there it's quite nice the um on es at this time of the day which is you know the eight till nine am um sequence is the market pulse highs and lows you know the greens and reds above 75 or below minus 75 percent tend to be quite useful again that's not her recommendation to take a trade based on the market pulse extremes i'm just saying that they can elucidate um the highs or lows in instantaneous price action or momentary price action okay so after that stop run down which took out some late buyers we have not been able to approach that low again so that low there which after the stop runs a very small stop run 50 um four five nine one yeah we are leaving that alone and in queue yeah in queue they are trying to support with liquidity there and pushed through to the two liquidity levels above so it looks like the prior auction or the auction prior to the release of the economic data is continuing at this moment but be aware that the first move can often be the wrong move on these economic releases and that might be a reason why you would or would not trade them in fact the um three-minute charts over here so let's pray the nice easy reference point to have a look at it uh at this point um hey tom has anybody got any questions okay i'm just going to go back to that channel and just double check there okay on we go right we've done the um recap of what edge is we've done our live observation of the in queue and i i welcome people to um provide suggestions since we are just launching this breakfast show and i'm building the agenda and this is really the first week i'm back if anybody's wondering where i've been i've been overseas visiting family and hiking through the austrian alps which is a very very pleasant change from sitting or standing at a computer terminal um but if anybody has any suggestions on what they'd like the content for this to cover especially i mean if you want me to go into much greater depth on wike off and exactly how you might want to use bookmap on that or you you want some more discussion on volume profile in the global accession and how um you relate that back to the volume profile of the previous few sessions um yeah feel free and i will take all comments on board and we can tailor the content accordingly okay i think as i mentioned i am not a specialist or a one-trick pony etc i like looking at lots of ways in which you can analyze the price action and i also look at algorithmic methods as well for automated entries and exits so um i'm very open to discussing different things that i do um i do think wike off is a great reference point but it is certainly not the be all and end all and it is not in itself a recipe for success um i think i've seen numerous courses out there on supply and demand and they do tend to focus more on the instances of price action which works perfectly per supply and demand rules rather than the ones that don't um one of the reasons why i think something like bookmap is excellent is because it improves the odds so say you are a supply and demand trader or you are a pure volume profile trader having the kind of action in here um it helps um i mean we talked the other day about this the liquidity markers and and again this is something that is really really useful in the global accession so you know we can see i mean even here we can see when they don't actually need the the numbers you hear me sometimes you can just see it through through the coloration of the heat map you can see when they put the pressure on to drive price up when they put when they take it off but having the numbers does help um the stock runs tend to be really really quite good and the icebergs especially in e s in globe x can be excellent um i said the other day and i say it again i find the icebergs in the rth session not to be as clear or they don't give you the same level of bias in one direction or over another just because you see a hundred by ice does not mean that price is likely to go up it is just a point of interest which can then create a line in the sand okay back to watching price action so we've got plenty of liquidity here again i'd i'd discount the the round number but i but when i do see that then i do have a look at where we are in relation to key levels so i my voice may have just rifted off because i was just looking at some of the key levels above um up above the four six hundred one of the things that i look at is last week's high and low okay yep g i am sorry i think yeah it's your name g okay g with the wheel i do like your avatar that's cool yeah sure i'm very happy to talk about volume profile uh and how i use it and um yeah and just stressing again whilst i do not have longer term volume profiles drawn in the bookmap columns i am using it and i'm also using this information in the columns um and i repeat again one of the things that i said the other day you know when you've let me just double check this one um when you've got buyers or sellers or sorry buyers and sellers at a pivot you know are you swing low or swing high a meaningful swing high or swing low i'm interested because that in volume profile terms could also mean a poor high or low which needs to be tested or flushed out or has the potential for them to flush to get extra stops and such extra fuel to go in whichever direction they want to go in so that is it's a volume profile type piece of data for me you know the fact that you've got 84 sellers and 14 buyers um at this level of 455-1950 um just in my eyes you've got some probability and again you can it's impossible to quantify this particular probability you've got some probability and it's not a bad probability that they will come down and retest that it might not happen before 930 but there there is a good chance that and you then take that information you look at your three-minute chart you look at your volume profile chart let's have a look where are we this it's this one 459-1950 and sorry i'm looking i'm looking at sierra and trading at the same time yeah so that was just the low flush after the the newsprint so yeah in volume profile terms yeah that could be labeled as you know you could you could have two labels they could have the scene of the crime being here where the actual news hit when that was the first flush down and the second one which was a flush of the flush so you know it might well be worth marking because it looks like there may be a capacity to flush even more since they're both buyers and sellers wishing to participate at that price level okay oh we've got an ice something to talk about when i've just knocked the term ice no i've actually um i've actually said that ice in in es in globex is is good i've knocked it in rth um this number is really really small 17 okay we've probably got something bigger than that in nq if we scroll back not that i can see but uh 17 it's insignificant and um it's been taken away already so it's um it's something i said the other day i like to see the information but i place no reliance on it unless it becomes significant and an ice of 17 sellers is not significant in es at any time of the day unless our relative volume was one percent and that's something else that i do also look at um you know i've got various compilations of statistics that i look at and one of them that i have to hand at all times is relative volume again it's not my concept i didn't invent it i i've just created a an iteration of it in sierra that works for me so that at this time of the day from 1800 new york time to now i can see that es has a relative volume of 185 vis-a-vis the last 10 business days uh last 10 trading days so i just know in that when i look at that number of relative volume that the market is active and that it is in a state where i may be able to both scalp and get little swing opportunities in in globe x it's it's something that if it was say at 60 percent in the asian session um unless we had a remarkable price action i'd want to stay well clear because one of the things you do not want to do is burn your capital out i waste your capital on poor trading conditions because that is the easiest way just to give your money to market makers to algos whatever you want to call them and then kill your trading career because you do not have the funds when the good price action comes around okay so zooming back out again if we look underneath uh this is es there's nothing below i mean we can we can make this a little bit more a little bit darker we've got nothing below that reattracts them at the moment so that is interesting information to me especially before 9 a.m new york time so at the moment you know i have one of the thoughts that's going through my head is that is magnetic and they are slowly drawing price towards it and the nothing that happened during the economic release at 8 30 has changed that then i'm going across and looking at the volume profile and seeing at 459 425 what is above that in the last few volume profile sessions so is there something that they might want to tag quickly or is it just a grind up back to where the previous previous value was and if i look at uh where i am i can see value i can't really see much or anything really significant in terms of a nice distribution until about 1050 1075 that's 4 6 10 50 4 6 10 75 up above so you know one of the volume profile scenarios that will go dot my head is that during this session we're going to grind up provided they get sellers trapped enough to give them the fuel to go upwards towards the liquidity um which is semi magnetic above at this band here up to 4600 let me drag it down for um when i look at liquidity you can't just look at the colors in book map they are beautiful they are helpful but you have to look at the quantity numbers um i know in my order book column i've just got numbers and some people have the the profile the shape of the profile as well i am happy with the coloration on the heat map but what i do want to see is what is that number so it's 215 is that significant how do you know for that significant well you've got to trade quite a few sessions you've got to trade this particular period this 8 to 9 30 a.m breakfast period to know whether or not it is you can look at the relative volume you've got to look at any prevailing news you've got to be aware of you know the current trend and i discussed this the other day that on the daily we are in a very very strong uptrend which got stronger and we have not broken the strongest daily trend line up so we're in a strong uptrend we're in a theoretical AI bubble the biggest tech stocks have been driving the market up that's the biggest five have been driving the market up and looking across our correlations for today what am i saying i'm seeing that the us dollar is going down slightly i'm seeing that the asian equities went up significantly china especially i see the dax went up i see bitcoin went up a little bit which is also something that has a positive correlation it can be a weak correlation but a positive correlation with with the nasdaq i can see the oil is drifting around that gold is strongly up which correlates with the us dollar being down and on the on the specific other currencies that heavily current trade currencies against the us i can see that the pound is the strongest of the the four majors that i look at against the the us dollar being the yen the euro the pound and the australian and i mentioned again the other day that the pound is one that i often have in trading view as a correlation chart by correlation i mean something a very very simple chart they won't have the view up shaded bands but just something like a one minute or a three minute of something that has a relatively strong correlation with the equity indices okay let us go back to this action yeah it's relatively slow which it does surprise me after an economic economic release of such significance that not much is happening one of the reasons why i do tend to look at nasdaq in the global accession is because the action is a little bit more violent there is a little bit more to trade obviously there is a larger chance that you will be stopped at pretty darn quickly but there is also a chance that you'll get to your one r your two or maybe your three r and when i talk about one r two on three r i am talking about scaling and it's again something that i'm happy to discuss another time i strongly believe that scaling is linked to randomness so that if you believe in scaling you are accepting to some extent the randomness of the markets in the sense that you cannot predict what is going to happen next i hear a lot of people and you know they may be fabulous fabulous traders you know saying they will not scale out or they will not scale out until they've got to three r or four r or five r or whatever but i don't know what's going to happen next i've done this for quite a while and i make absolutely no predictions about what's going to happen next i'm saying that if if the market gives me money which according to a mathematical model will give me an age over time and i did a very simplified grid of that a little bit earlier in this session then why shouldn't i scale out you know why wouldn't you if the mathematical odds are saying over time that will make edge the other reason why you'd think about trading nasdaq is because you're going to get more repetitions you know if your edge is based on say an edge let's just bring that diagram back in again let me just bring it back in if this is 10 10 losses and 10 winners and that gives you that edge there which is just that bit there right and nasdaq gives you 50 of those opportunities or 100 of those opportunities in globe x and es gives you three or four which one are you going to take if you're taking a very mathematical approach to edge in the markets um in my view you might take nq over es but it's just a personal opinion um again it's got a completely different risk appetite um and um i'm going to quickly have a look at nq because i just noticed that they have had a miniature stop run towards a sell ice and the the action has changed i don't know if you you can see that it's quite clearly changed at the moment i'm just trying to see if there i know they've strengthened the liquidity there but i was just seeing if they if this was going to be a strong push down or not yeah it's got a nice little push down um having these low value set for the stop icebergs indicators on nq seems to be a good idea to me and this is a quite a good illustration of it um say you use this as your stops and icebergs and this is a very low setting you can set it to whatever you want and i'm happy to do screenshots of my settings in due course but that there of seven and three a seven stop run yeah it looks absolutely insignificant that number there seven but we knew that the context which we discussed a few minutes ago was that the es liquidity the magnetic liquidity was above so a stop a sell stop run of any significance was a potential buy opportunity in nasdaq we also had this little resting liquidity here which wants to draw your attention to a 26 26 is a lot more significant in nq than 17 is an es so this is a target in the sense that the algos and market makers believe or some of them will probably know that the business can be transacted at this price level which is 15 seven three two 50 um so a stop run down there a clear target if you were going to take a trade it is a little spring a breakout failure to the downside that we've discussed um what is the risk the risk in this session should not be too high unless it's a very very volatile price action session so far from the action that we've been looking at it is not very volatile it has not looked as if it's very volatile so you're looking at a tight stop so that is your trigger and that was your target i'm not saying that it will get to the target i don't predict anything at all but i'm saying that uh you get in you know you may be getting a market limit whatever uh a market stop order um but your risk is about four or five points and you're getting in somewhere there so you magically got in at 24 and you had a stop at 19 and you're saying to me how can i magically set the stop correctly well one of the things that you can do programmatically is have a volatility based stop it's one of the things that i do believe in and again i'm happy to talk about in due course um so that your stop is always calculated based on volatility um that volatility can be related to anything can be related to atr it can be related to um atr plus volume so it can be a volume based volatility and that your your ultimate target for such a trade would be at that um resting iceberg whether it'll get there now or whether it's going to go and flush down below first i do not know but i'm saying that say you got in magically at the 24 level um yeah that is a target of eight and a bit uh um with a four point stop yep and the four point stop is below that pivot as well um so that that is a potential two r trade um it looks like you know at this stage that it got close but no cigar so that if you hadn't scaled you know maybe you'd set your scales up so you'd take at least something off at one r then you know if you'd got in there and you'd taken off your scales yeah you would have you would have either scaled there or scaled there um and and what you do at that point you know whether you then leave your stops exactly where they are whether you move them do whatever that is something that you have to decide you know whether it's discretionary whether it's it's done programmatically it's something that you have to decide during the course of your trading career um i'm just describing a a potential target there based on the fact that it is likely that business can be conducted at 50 d 250 in a rising market with magnetic liquidity in es above and you know again what is that magnetic liquidity you know we reference both the charts and as i said if i'm not streaming i'll have these side by side not inside the same book map window um so you know you'd have scaled there um your stop was about 20 you would not have been stopped at so far doesn't mean you won't be stopped at you would have got very very very close maybe you'd have closed this trade out maybe you'd held it um but it's just just an example of um the potential for using nasdaq you know that to me i mean close enough is good enough for me so yeah the fact that it's gone straight through and it's gone even higher to me does not matter right i said that was my ultimate target look i'm into mathematical trading models that that have edge over time i'm not into swinging for a home run so you know the fact that this now yeah if you're in at 20 with 24 with a four point stop you know you 24 14 16 yes you could have been four r straight up with that beautiful um stop run continuation through that iceberg um by by reference stop stop ice stop run i'm talking about the 18 stop there and then the continuation onwards and in the es it's grinding it's grinding slowly but surely uh and we have some theories some rationales why they don't have to be true none of what you actually um none of what you actually analyze has to be true it just has to be exercised in a process which is in accordance with a model that gives you mathematical edge so in other words you can be as wrong as many times as your model allows over the course of a series of trades okay let me just go back and see if there are any more questions because i haven't really gone back i don't know if we we don't really have many people in the discord room and we've got 14 in the youtube room okay all right okay um let's go back to the calendar let's have a look at the calendar there we go let me just bring that back in zoom back in okay so we've had the eight this is just me winding down as we're approaching nine o'clock um we've had the 830 news it really wasn't much that happened on the back of it it's a continuation of the auction up and the only other economic release of any significance the red lightning ones is the umich the university of michigan's sentiment at 10 a.m eastern but it should be an interesting session we had a breakdown yesterday it could be a false breakdown they could continue it down but it's interesting that they've used the um the european session the post london open session to drive the market back up to where it broke down from value yesterday uh let's have a look how is nq going okay so we've got this liquidity here let's just look back on that so if we had the news at 830 this liquidity was in place a way before then that was in place before the london open so that's true resting liquidity unfortunately it's at the 50s the round numbers so it's something that i can't put that much weight on but the fact that it's steady and that we're driving towards it it becomes significant at the closer we get to it you know at some point you know if it bounces and bounces and then it keeps going towards it you have to start putting some significance on it because if it goes up it's it's going to smash through it it's not something that i will view in isolation and say it has magnetism because often you'll see a great big fat resting liquidity at a random below 50 or 100 and it never goes anywhere near it um so it's the other resting liquidities that attract my attention it's also quite interesting that we almost got there and we have turned around temporarily okay just flick back to yes and cognizant of the time as well because i'm approaching my last minute so i want to i don't know i wouldn't leave people enthused that you know this is a great tool i hope you know we can have some really good discussions or i can provide some you know information that might be of use to people in a breakfast session in the coming weeks but i welcome all feedback you know whether you watch this this broadcast live or you watch it after the fact um and you saw my thoughts on why called following profile and trading in the nasdaq in the pre-market session but um yeah it does look like es is grinding grinding back towards yesterday's breakdown of value and nothing seems to be stopping it just yet just seeing how many have traded at the high 52 okay we are we have just taken out the high that was made just after the news release it'd be quite interesting to see whether yeah they don't look like they're stopping that would have been an interesting place for a short but it does not look like it wants to go down just yet we had no rejection but again that doesn't mean that it won't anyway thank you very much for watching with me


Thank you. Where are you going? You're right here. You're right here. That's true. What else? Hey, y'all, what's up? Nice to meet you. Oh, stop. Hey, how are you? I'm good. Thank you, sir. Good morning, sir. How are you? I'm good. Don't shake hands with me. Right to the tracks? Right to the tracks. Let's go on your jumps.  Don't be far away. Don't be far away. Don't be far away. Don't be far away. Don't be far away. Don't be far away. You're right here. What are you going to do? Let's start at 20-day. Thank you all for coming down. Our first item of business of course is the debt limit bill. I know you're all set for the week of town this week. I hope you'll send me a long-term debt limit if I get signed. I don't know what you're planning. And how do you do it? But we're going to have, we're going to apply many kinds of reasons today. I mean, I'm not sure exactly who they're going to be, but we're going to have a motion to construct that's pretty much sticking by the, you know, the, you know, the pressure or the view they have, and also more flexibility on certain outcomes in the town. Just so that we've got something that we can express ourselves, actually, that we've got a full loop with maybe a chance to take on a few Democrats on that, but I don't know, they just, we've just got to try and shame them in the fact that they haven't done anything we'd like to do before they've just haven't done something. That's it. But I, I can't tell you how that turns out, but I'll just have to assume that it's going to get all hung up, and then the Democrats will be getting a sack against him, and then we'll probably have a temporary, another extension of that ceiling. And, and the September, Bob? And the September. Just in the September. Well, yeah, probably, you know, and then we, here we don't get back until when it's the 7th or 8th, you know, we'll really probably like the 15th or the 1st week we come back until we come back into cover 45 or 68. I think we can do that with all the other things. We can pass it on to 77. Forty-five men in the now. Forty-five men in the now. Probably the members. Probably the 13th. See how fifty-three Congress. I think that, you know, win. Well, I appreciate your all coming down. And I know we, I know we're having some discussions here about further progress down in Central America and the peace plan that is here. But I felt that maybe we should have a meeting and discovered what we all thought or our interpretation of what the peace plan meant so that there couldn't ever be any misunderstanding and someone say, well, I didn't think this clause meant that I'd something else or not. And they're the powerful for us. Has done things I think has been forwarded to you. There's a lot of points about the various things are what our interpretation is and what we're going to hand it out. But so I think that maybe it sort of could be we just don't want a future misunderstanding on this. I think we're on the track of something that could be very productive and resolve the problems of why this has separated us for a long time. Mr. President, can I say a word that before I had a very good mind about the joint leadership that Congress has done in exploring its possibility and especially what Jim Wright has done with the speaker who's done it. It's been a while. Yeah, it's been a while. Yeah, it's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. Listen, thank you all for coming down on the principle. Yesterday, you're probably aware that we had a meeting in here with joint bipartisan leadership to discuss a renewed diplomatic initiative in Central America. Its objective is simple to further democracy in a region where four or five countries today have elected four of five, I should say, elected democratic governments put in place. And with regard to Nicaragua, we see the negotiated settlement that recognizes the rights of all Nicaraguans that they seek freedom and joy by their neighbors. And I'm glad you're here today. I know I've devoted considerable time and attention to the problems of Central America. And you know very well what the odds are that those four democratic governors that encountered in the past, that we can now speak about a peace plan and be unified in bipartisan way that I think will give a real boost to a genuine effort to bring democracy to Nicaragua. And I'm going to ask George Schultz to tell us about the discussions at the summit meeting in Guatemala City where they are now presently meeting. As I read it, Mr. President, we all can have a pretty good feeling because there are core, democratically elected, civilian presidents of Central American civilization. In addition to the Nicaraguan president meeting there. And these four people all understand democracy because they helped to create it in their country. And in many cases, they went through quite a lot of help in getting to where they have got. So essentially, that meeting is going on. That is a good start. All right. All right. All right. We're going to have to chit chat for a minute or two. Sorry. OK. The cameras are still in support. Yes. I mean, the question is. Well, the second wave will be that, but I'm going to be carried forward The President is going to get down to business here. I'd like to thank all of you, first of all, for coming down. It turned out to be very short notice. There's a lot of pressing business before we all leave Washington and one of the major issues is certainly welfare reform. As I said last year in the State of the Union address, the principle issue in any welfare reform proposal is whether or not we help people become self-sufficient and lead a full life or keep them in a state of dependency. I feel strongly that we're on the right track in proposing the Low Income Opportunity Act, which would allow states to test new ideas for reducing dependency. We also believe in the need to reform work requirements and to provide training and education, a greater opportunity through work, the growth program that allows to do that. I know that all of you have been under some pressure to sign on the so-called welfare reform bills that would increase benefits and make welfare more attractive. I commend you for your willingness to follow a responsible path to prevent increased dependency. I understand that your task force has worked diligently with members of the administration to come up with a proposal that we can all work together on and I think I'm most appreciative of what you've offered as an alternative. Mr. President, Ortega wants direct talks. Why not? You've got to answer that. Well, he says it's a sham if you won't sit down and negotiate with him. Great. No answers. What do you think about the response so far? Some of the Democrats say this is just a ploy. Well, I think we're getting together. We've got to go. And some of your friends say that you're selling the conscious act, sir. Andrew, he said no answers. We've got to go. We need to get started. Do you have an answer to that? I'm selling the conscious act. He said no answers. Let's go to the place. Can you face with this stuff every day, Mr. President? And more than once a day. Well, I'm starting to appreciate that more and more. I nominate her for Ms. Warmth of the New York Times. Dean, Michael, do you have anything going? Your proposal. I guess if I would, and thanks, and I was going to take it to some of the specifics. But I think what I've been hearing over the other side is the Capitol. Gosh, you're not going to mind all of this. The process you're hearing. Not going to mind. John? Yes, sir. Can I speak with you on the way out? Because there's a decision. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know you have strong objections to the Senate bill. I hope that that's true. Any improvements? I know you want the radio and everything. Offer an attorney bill. I understand that Jim Miller and Sam Peirce have had to settle up here to discuss this situation. Well, how would I like to hear your views? Mr. President, I indicated the other day when you're here, When they're here, you know, this, I have the builders, home builders, mortgage bankers, you know, boy, they're all leaning on us like mad because they haven't had an housing bill not for about six years. Of course, they've had their problems with FHA, I guess. And, generally, much in their area, they feel damned strong. I know that we've had some kind of disparity between the figures from OMB, from time to time. Sheldon's got to work with it. And I just thought you ought to hear it directly. All of you here, a conference there, we could get something that you can sign. If any possible, since the conference...


Hello everybody, and welcome to TV8's 2007 and 2008 High School Basketball Coaches Show. My name is Mike Martin. Joining me as usual is Chris Wright, the coach. Chris, we've got an interesting lineup tonight. Who are our coaches? Well, it's very nice that we have all the coaches from Sheboygan here. We're going to have Coach Tom Desatel, who's plus 30 years of coaching, along with Tim Schultz from Sheboygan South. Brett Phlipsy is at Sheboygan Christian. He's coming in and Todd Decker from Sheboygan Lutheran. Now, part of our show, and you're going to have to wait till the end, people, before we do this, but we're going to recap the Fox River Valley and make our predictions for the Fox River Valley and the Central Lakeshore Conference. And then we're also going to talk about some key TV8 matchups, which should be pretty interesting. Yeah, it's hard to believe football's closing up. The college game's going and already on TV, so I'm kind of excited for high school basketball. I don't know about you, but I'm hoping for a lot better success than we had in the football season. It was a long season for football, and we're hoping for a lot better season in basketball. I think we will have a good season, and it's always exciting to, you know, with the new conferences, especially for the Sheboygan North and South, but it'll be a very exciting, just fastball in general. All right, with that, we're going to step out, and when we come back, Chris will be talking with Tim Schultz from Sheboygan South. Welcome back, I'm with Sheboygan South head coach Tim Schultz. Tim, you have a new conference this season. How do you feel about that? Well, definitely the level of play in the conference, I think, is going to go up drastically. Not to say it wasn't bad before, but four teams that we added from the Bay Conference, three of them are, I think, pretty traditionally pretty strong, and a fourth one that, you know, really adds depth that this might be, if you look overall in the conference, might be one of the deepest and most talented conferences now in the state. With this change, you seem to have to play a lot of games on Saturdays. Yeah, it's not the most ideal thing. I would rather stick to the traditional Tuesday-Friday, but, you know, some of those games you throw in there, especially North, North game, which is perfect for Saturday for everyone involved, and Ash Wabanan, I think, is another one. You know, the two really good teams, two really good games. It's not the most ideal thing, breaking up a weekend, but, you know, you play it as the schedule it, I guess. Let's talk about that North-South game for, as you said, forever. It's been, seems like it's been on a Friday or Saturday night. People in Sheboygan have looked forward to this event. The new conference have decided, let's move it to a Tuesday and right away in December. Yeah, I don't think that's the best, but, you know, there's nothing that we can do about it. Next time when they go through the scheduling, I think we'd both, Tom and I, and everyone involved, would rather have both of them on a Saturday, but, set it up for Tuesday, I guess, you know, a new conference, new traditions, new everything, but I'd much rather play on Saturdays. Something I liked about it, too, is, you played the freshman games early in the morning. You had the JV games in the afternoon and then that, it was kind of a, something that, for basketball people in Sheboygan, they're something they always look forward to and you kind of lost that. Right, yeah, you end up, now we're playing the freshman and JV games, the Saturday, for the Tuesday night games, Saturday before, so it does lose a little bit of something where you could kind of hang out all day and watch basketball. That's good, at least that the girls can still play, too. That's a positive thing. Coach, let's talk a little bit about your program. Last couple of years, one thing I've seen is you guys have lost a lot of close games and, you know, it just seems your kids are always right there. You know, what do your kids have to do to get over the top this season? I think it's more mental than anything. I think maybe in the past, you're always kind of hoping you're going to win, thinking you might have a chance to win, instead of just going insane, we are going to win. And a lot of the close games that we lost, there are maybe turnovers or things that we did that might have cost us the game and maybe handed the game to the other team. And I think it's just a learning curve that you go through when you're trying to build up a program. And these guys right now, I think they're at the point that they want to win. They know they can play against other teams. They know they can play against very good teams. We played a lot in the off season against some of the, you know, better programs around the state. And they have a lot of confidence right now. And hopefully, the confidence that they had from the off season carries over into the season. With that, you have a lot of athletes this year.  And I think you have a lot of gifted kids over there. Yeah, these guys are, you know, they play multiple sports, a lot of them. And the guys that don't, they're very athletic, very much into basketball.  The key with that, though, is that, you know, everyone comes in and that they're playing at a high level. Having athletes is great. And you still got to be able to defend, you still got to rebound, still got to put points on the board, you know, and stop the other team from scoring points. But athletes is a nice problem to have. Scoring should be a problem either. You got a lot of points coming back. Yeah, we do, we do have a lot of points. And last year, I think we averaged about 65 points a game. And that's an area I'd like to be your own, if not higher. But again, we have to go back to the defensive end, we got to stop the other teams from scoring. And that's something that I think is a work in progress. We have to be smarter, have to play more on a team concept. And hopefully, what I've seen so far early on, and practice and everything that guys are guys are doing that. Well, you got Hemsingback, Beederwolf, some other kids that can score for you. Do you want to name some of them? Well, Hemsing, Beederwolf, you have TJ crowns, Jake Schwartz, Kyle Rommel. I think those are my five letter winners that are coming back. And all of those guys can put points on the board. And then that's not taken away from some other guys from the JVs as well. But you have to rely on those five letter winners that bring the experience at the varsity level. And some of them, you know, like Beederwolf, he's working on basically his third year of varsity. And those guys have to step up and be leaders, you know, on both ends of the floor. I think you have a nice combination of, like you said, you had a good JV program too last year. And that with those kids you have, I would have high expectations, that's for sure. Ash Wabadon, we know they're going to be real good. And looking at your division playing with the pier and Manitowoc and north and East and Preble, I think it's going to be very competitive. I think it's wide open. I think all of these teams actually, when you look at it athletically in what they bring, size wise, everyone is athletic. Everyone has depth. Styles of play are very similar. And it's one of those things where I think across the board in the conference, not only on our side of the division, but the other side, you're going to have to come to play every single night. There is not a time when you're going to be able to or the players are going to have a chance to sit back and go, Oh, this is going to be an easy one. You know, as coaches, we never do that. It's always a challenge. But it's something that we're going to have to really work the guys in practice and let them know that there is nothing easy coming this way at all in this conference. Well, thanks so much for coming in. We look forward to seeing you. We have you right away on the 30th. So when I return, I'll have coach Todd Decker from Sheboygan. I'm back here with coach Decker from Sheboygan Lutheran. Coach, you've been doing this a long time now. Yes, I have been. It's still enjoyable. And I love what I do. And I like where I'm at and things are going well. So I'm happy to still be part of it. Now, lots of changes have taken place in high school basketball since you first started at Sheboygan North. How have you adapted or some of the things that you've seen since way back in the eighties? Well, I think that the type of player with basketball being almost an all around the year sport that's been a little bit different than when I first started out. I think basketball is a little bit more seasonal. Now, I think to develop a program. Yeah, I try to get these guys in some summer league, some summer tournaments. And I think that's a big difference. I notice that the younger level, there's more kids playing. And that's a good and bad thing, I think. But I just think basketball has become a really big sport and almost all year round sport. And there's some pluses and some minuses. But I think those are some of the things that are a little bit different. I think AAU for youth and things and select sort of teams have kind of contributed to that as well. Right, I think those outside influences have made basketball for high school a little bit different.  And sometimes the AAU tag sometimes can hurt a little bit. But it helps the players and it definitely helps the coaches and make basketball a little bit better in Wisconsin throughout all areas. Speaking of your coaches, your staff's been around quite a while and consistency's probably helped your program and helped to be the successful team that it's been. Oh, without a doubt. We've had John Irish, our JV coach. He's now going on sixth or seventh year. Mike Theobald, my assistant coaches have been with me since day one. We just had a new addition to our freshman coach. He was our assistant coach and always our freshman coach, James Leipholm. These guys, those two guys have played for me and now coaches. And that's kind of an honor for me. I feel very good that they want to come back and help the program. But we've been real stable in that area. The terminology, the drills really helps, especially with the WAI only giving us a few days before we can get before a game. We can have a lot of our stuff in. And with the terminology that we have, it's great to have assistant coaches have been loyal and yet know what's going on and what to expect. Now, the last few years, your program has lost a lot of good players to graduation. For outside people have never seen Sheboygan Lutheran play before. You know, what kind of team do you put on the floor? We run, really, I think we're proud of the sets that we run and our play selection. We're athletic, especially this year will be athletic. I think that's going to be a plus for us. We have a little bit of youth coming in and that's exciting for me as a coach. Our freshman teams are going to be good at bringing some sophomores up. We'll switch things up on defense, which we want to keep the opponent a little off on what they're going to do offensively so they don't know what to expect. But those are some of the things. Get on the break if we don't get a couple of easy baskets then we'll get into some of our sets and the CLC. The coaches know our stuff and we know their stuff. So it's a challenge that way. But we think we have an exciting program at Lutheran High and I think people would be very interested and impressed with some of the things that we're trying to do. Who are some of those players this year that do you expect to contribute? Alex Maxon, Taylor Post, some seniors with some experience last year. Alex is a very fine shooter and worked on it this summer. He's going to be he's very athletic and jump well up and down the court. Nick Miller and other senior are very solid, not flashy, but really can get the job done. And then we have some sophomores coming up that will help us along with big junior Parker Anderson, the 6-4 kid. So when we get some of those youth coming in and these seniors with some leadership, we hope we can mix it up and be a challenge in the CLC. Why not only your program but I think the whole Lee lost a lot of players to graduation last year. Yes, some talented, some very good basketball players are gone and I think the teams are real solid basketball teams and but I don't know if there's a player or two that you need to plan for and scheme for and make sure that they're taken care of but then on the other hand I think from top to bottom our conference has gotten stronger and you better be able to play, be ready to play every night otherwise you're going to be in for a big surprise. I agree, I think it's going to be very competitive on any given night, anybody could beat anybody. Yeah, that's a fear of a coach because sometimes kids get these ideas that some teams may not be as good and you sit there and you can tell them and convince them but they better get out and be ready to go. We've always had them strong teams and but some of the teams that in the past got some has some really good coaching and you can see it's paying off. So where do you see Lutheran finishing this season? Well, we'd like to compete with all the teams and be up there and I think we can be and we've always been in the upper part of the CLC. We'd have to be in our A game every night to be in a one or two spot but we want to compete and stick in those upper one to four. We think we can be but boy it's going to be a tough year with some of the changes and with the teams that are getting better and better. So we'd like to stick in that upper half. Well best of luck this year and we'll see you in a couple of weeks. Thank you. When we return Marty will be with coach Flipsy from Sheboygan Christian. Joining me on the set is Brett Flipsy from Sheboygan County Christian. Brett, first of all, thanks a lot for stopping in. I really appreciate it. Let's talk a little bit about last year. It was a great season last year. It went 20 and three, I believe in 14 and two in conference and you made it to sectionals against Randolph, the state champion team. Talk a little bit about last year and how that success from last season might play into this season. Last year was a lot of fun. We were a squad with nine seniors from last year. Like you said we were 23. We were big. Every program needs success to build off of and I think last year was one of those seasons where we can build for the future. You know all the young kids in our program get to see and try to try to emulate those kids. And I think that was that was one of our biggest positives from last year is that we have a lot of kids that are really interested in basketball because of last year's team. You mentioned before we went on the air that you have a mirrored ink and a Veldkamp who graduated last year. Very good players on your squad. Yet you got a mirrored ink and a Veldkamp coming in. I would think you know the viewing their brothers last year certainly would play in a little bit to their wanting to be successful this season. Yeah, it never hurts to have success from your brothers and getting the younger brothers to play you always look at it and you see the youngest brothers always seem to be the best because they get to emulate what their older brothers did and they don't get to make the mistakes that their older brothers did. So we have two sophomores coming up that are moving up both Veldkamp and mirrored inks. So it'll be fun to I get to yell out that name again for the next three years. They did a study a number of years ago and I think you'll like this. They found out in the NFL of the top line backers. Most of them were the second sibling in a family because they always had to fight for things and that and I don't know if these kids coming up as sophomores or second siblings in their families.  They have a good group to emulate. I mean you know Tyler and John from last year's team were very solid basketball players and both of them have gone on to play sports in college. So I mean the younger brothers are going to have to fight. Yeah they will. When we did your game and Chris interviewed Tyler after the game I was very impressed with his demeanor. I mean he really seemed like a solid citizen. Oh yeah absolutely absolutely. Tyler Velkamp last year was your go to guy I would think you know his high score and was a guy you could look to when you needed big points. Who's going to take over that role this year. We're going to add by some traction this year. We're not going to we are unable to go to have one go to guy. We have we're going to be a fairly deep team. And it's going to be whoever shows me who has the hot hand is the one we're going to go to. This is a group that. Just like the younger brother situation we're going to have to fight for every game that we play. We're not as tall as we were last year. And there's going to be whoever steps up gets the ball. Now I've heard coaches talk about this. They say you want to have that go to guy you got to have that one guy that people can really depend on. If you were you know Grant you don't have a you don't have a choice this year because it's just the way the team is going to be but if you had your choice would you rather have a guy that you can go to or would you rather do the addition by subtraction. Well the way that we that we've always played we've never featured one guy. Our philosophy at Schwoing Christian is that the best players will find ways to score. You hardly ever see at our school someone averaging 30 points a game.  You know so we we try to to go after a team aspect. And so you'd love to have someone good enough to be a go to guy. But we always we always try to teach team first. You mentioned a little bit about the you know not being as tall as last year so the the rebounding and those kinds of things are going to change a little bit but you do have one underclassman while he's not an underclassman now but coming back as you said you admit lost nine seniors and he's going to be a point guard. Talk about that kid a little bit. Nate Klopatik is our only returning starter from last year's team. Nate is maybe stretching at 5 10. So losing you know three guys at 6 6 or bigger last year he's not going to take over a rebounding role but he he provides a leadership role in this team that he was our glue last year already. And this year you know I just see him just growing into that role even further. Let's talk a little bit about the conference this year. Usberg lost a lot from last year Andrew Zimmerman was arguably the best player in the conference and how do you see that playing out?  Well I think you've still got to say Usberg is going to be the team to beat. For years now they're the team that that stepped up and was you know conference champs. So I'd still say they're right there. Howard Grove has got a very deep team. Cedar Grove is going to be the big team this year. Don't look past Alcant Lake Ozaki. I think the conference is really stepped up. You don't have these star player players like we did last year. But every team that you're going to see in the in the CLC this year is very deep. And you know Christian Wolfe is is probably arguably the guy this year. So the conference conference. And that's who you open up against too by the way. Brett I want to thank you for stopping in. And when we come back I'll have coach Tom Destatelle from Shiboyga North. Training is a long time had coach at Shiboyga North Tom Destatelle. Tom thanks a lot for stopping in. Last year was an interesting kind of a season. You know you had a really great start. You ran off eight in a row in the early portion of the season. Then you ran into a little bit of a tough spell. I think it was going four and seven. But then you came on really strong towards the end and had a great tournament run. Well we we certainly finished strong. And we had our ups and downs last year as you will when you have underclassmen. And this year we've got a lot of them back. How do you think your strong finish from last year will play into this year? Well I'm sure the experience in the regional winning the regional tournament and then competing in the sectional winning a game at sectional and then playing for the right to go to Madison can only help the kids that were there. Fortunately or unfortunately for then was we lost to the eventual state champion and we weren't really in that game. If anybody went to the game they were very very good team. I think our juniors came away and sophomore Nolan free came away with a determination of what needs to be done. We've been there before and frankly that's been the big surprise of practice so far. You don't have to say too much about let's get after it or things like that. The seniors are pretty much taking over and we've got eight of them that are strong ball players. We've got an all conference player that's only a junior Nolan free. So we've got some experience. T.J. Kellner has been an offensive force for the last couple of years for your for your squad and he received good contributions from some of the seniors that are gone now. Derek Deezing stands out in my mind. Who else this year is going to help contribute to the scoring punch not that you have to lay it all on T.J. shoulders. Well we have four players who started the better part of the season last year returning. Andy Poles, Tim Schwere, Tom Iric and T.J. Kellner but Nolan free came off the bench never started a game last year made the conference all defensive team and was second team all conference. There's five pretty good ball players now. I think if we look for scorers that weren't mentioned in those five we've got kids like Tom Olsen that can can shoot the ball and that sort of thing too.  How does he look in terms of helping out in the middle? Dan's a bit away from where he wants to be right now even though he's 6'8 and he's relatively healthy played some football for us this year he started for the football squad and picked up some much near needed game experience but when you miss an entire year with an ACL and don't get a chance to practice your basketball skills that sets you back but all in all he's still 6'8. One of the things that you know probably changes here I guess is Nolan Fried mentioned to him he was your sixth man last year and was just dynamite player and does he you look for him now to go into the starting lineup or are you going to keep bringing him off the bench? We can't keep Nolan on the bench in fact last year after the first few games of the year when he went in he never went out and that's the type of athlete Nolan was now right now he's going to be a starter and he's tough to we suffer when he's not in the ball game he's one of our best defensive players without a doubt. Ash Wabanan looks to have a really good team how do you see the conference playing out? Well Ash Wabanan's in the opposite division now there's two divisions in basketball and our division is just Mark Miller who writes basketball your book said coach this division is top heavy your division is top heavy and I mean there's just some awesome teams and you don't have to look far to find Manitowoc and South and then you pair those up with the the depears of the world Preble and Green Bay East that's it's a tough division. Last question for you coach you open on Tuesday, December 4th against South I don't know if that's your first game but what are your thoughts about playing that North South game on a Tuesday night versus a Saturday like has been the case the last few years? If we would have put it on a Saturday this year we would have been not a big disadvantage next year we have to take a look at the same situation you can't put one team at a disadvantage with the rest of the conference by doing it that way you kind of have to play it as is scheduled and that's what we're trying to do now next year we're going to take a look at the situation with all four coaches involved and see what happens Coach I want to thank you for stopping in and wish you all the best of luck this year when we return Chris and I'll wrap up today's program welcome back everybody first of all I want to thank all the coaches for giving their time to come in and speak with us and add to the program it's really a great thing that they do that Chris yes it is and they are in the middle of their practice sessions and it's just their second week of practice so they got a lot of stuff to put in and the games are going to be starting soon we have a great schedule coming up for high school basketball why don't we talk a little bit about the key games that are coming up on our schedule well what's really shocking is that the North South Games are real early in the season this year so we'll have them as usual I think the other funny thing about it is you know we're used to always doing those on a Saturday and the first one is going to be on a Tuesday night yeah the first one will be on a Tuesday and then of course we have our traditional Lutheran and Schwoing Christian as you said the holy war at the shore but that wasn't me but I think one fun team to watch this year will be Ashwabbanan Ashwabbanan comes in from the former Bay and now joins the new conference and I believe they're going to be ranked in the top five in state and they have to take both their trips to Sheboygan this year and so I'm glad that we have them on the slate they'll be exciting but of course the man to walk game will be good with a disaster boy who's got some home roots here in Sheboygan so yeah that's our first game actually so that number 30th yeah so that's always nice to have some of that in there so those man to walk games are fun and Ashwabbanan will be fun and like I said the old traditional games are always good too let's talk about the two conferences that we'll be covering the Fox River Classic conference and the Central Lakeshore conference let's start with Central Lakeshore seems like every year Usberg always seems to be at the top now they lost a lot of players from last year yes they I think the whole conference lost a lot of players this year but you know Usberg JV's were really good last year and I think Sheboygan Christian had some pretty good JV's players as well but but Usberg's always tough to pick again so I've got to go with Coach Booneg out there at Usberg and I'll go with you on that too let's talk about the Fox River Classic conference I think in the opening I may have said it wrong but Ashwabbanan looks like the real deal and I know North has a nice team coming back they've got those three sophomores that started I don't necessarily mean they started as sophomores but they were on the team and played a lot and they got to be a force in there too right and with there's two divisions this year Ashwabbanan will be in the other division they get to play everybody in the early division wants and everybody twice excuse me and everybody in the other division wants and I really believe that it's going to be real close especially in the division that's like in north and south is anybody can pick off anybody in any given time I know North was picked to win it in the book or the as we call the basketball bible that Mark Miller who used to work for the press does I'll take north but I don't think it's going to be easy I think there's going to be some tough teams south could could easily get it Mantua could get it I don't think it's going to be as easy on this side as it will be for Ashwabbanan on the other side now are they splitting up the conference like you mentioned just for scheduling purposes correct there will not be a play off no they're just like two divisions right they're just playing strictly you know you play the pier and Mantua and Preble and east and north and south that's one division so they'll play each other twice and you have one crossover game let me ask you this Chris between the two divisions which one do you think is the harder one well I think the harder one if you want to win your league will be this one with north and south but Ashwabbanan is really really good so you know and on the way they could kind of breeze through there correct I think they'll have a little easier route on that side Bayport will be okay and things like that but another thing we should watch in our division will be to pier and they'll be okay well that being said then I'm going to pick Ashwabbanan and that's going to do it for a show Chris I want to thank you for coming in and doing it and I look forward doing the games with you this year I want to thank our viewers for watching and again I want to thank the coaches for chiming in and adding to the program the way they do and that's going to be it for a show thanks for watching and we'll see you down the road

What's going on guys welcome back to channel critical over here soon about Chucky season 2 in this video here again today So production did have get did indeed start on this day I know I did some videos in the past where I said the production will be starting between the dates of April 20th to the 28th because that's what I was told and that's what I Got sent over to me and was allowed to gain access to but it indeed did start today and Devin saw all who you know start in the Original season as the father of Jake and also the father of junior both characters unfortunately met their demise and As it pertains to him He was the one who kind of let us know that this might be happening because he tweeted out Last night on the 19th that my view is I wish the season one surviving cast a Chucky Good luck while starting episode one of a Toronto in a freaking snowstorm. He tagged Zachary Arthur He tagged Chucky tagged Jennifer Tilly. He tagged Dom Mancini. He tagged with Jorvin in it so This lets us know that those individuals will indeed be back and then the rap today Reported that production did indeed go go forward and it started. It's now underway Braddorff will be back to voice Chucky, of course and Zachary Arthur will be back as Jake Willard But Jorvin aren't our Narsen is back as Devin Evans Olivia Allen Lynn is back as Lexie Cross Alex Vincent will return as Andy Barkley Barbara Allen Woods will return as mayor mayor Michelle Cross. We know is the father of Lexie or no the mother I meant to say of Lexie and Here's a surprising one now This doesn't mean of course that the characters alive, but it says here Christina Lease will return as Kyle now Here's my thing with that if she's returning this Kyle I already know most people gonna say oh this means she survived and doesn't really mean that but I think the the fact of the matter is I Me personally I do think that that's what the direction will be They're gonna say that no one actually got injured in that in that in that fire or that explosion and again I was talking about this in my other Chucky videos It's gonna be a moment where I'm just like okay Well, you shouldn't have had that happen if nobody ultimately got injured or ultimately died If there was no loss that occurred there the scene was just an emotional moment just for the sake of Shock factor, honestly, that's all it's gonna be reduced to it's a meaningless scene at this point in my opinion I'm happy that everyone would be alive of course because I love the characters, but when you're when you're doing things a certain way They need to be done in the sense of not everything needs to be a fake out For no reason just for the sake of saying oh I want to get my audience concerned about these characters ultimately to find out That hey, yeah, they didn't die. They didn't get injured at all. They're they're alive Everyone's fine But whatever Christina lease if she's back in Kyle's alive So be it and I'm assuming she'll go out of her way to find Andy and help with this Tiffany doll And again, I just can't wait to see what goes down with that Tiffany doll and Andy Barkley Can't wait to see if they flesh that out a little bit more can't wait to see if Andy actually manages to kill the doll I think that might be what happens very early on in the season not necessarily saying that's where the season will pick up I think there might be a minor time jump. Maybe a couple months couple weeks And then maybe some flashbacks along the way will be revealed in the initial episode Showing us what went on while Chucky We're not Chucky while the Tiffany dolls in the back of that truck with the Chucky dolls while Andy was driving it And what they went into maybe an alliance has been formed out of blackmail Maybe this is how we end up getting detective Norris back and getting Karen back because of something with Andy and how they're threatening His parents, I guess I'll say and him not wanting them to get hurt So he's going along with whatever they are asking of him and helping them deliver these Chucky dolls around the country Because we know the the end game it seems for Chucky was to have a can a mass control takeover of the states with these dolls spread out everywhere So as it pertains to other things we could see in the season We know that The costume designer I follow her on instagram and I'll leave a link to her Instagram page in the description She posted an image recent like earlier last week sometime and it seems like they might have a lot of new looks coming for Chucky Um, not necessarily sure if this is going to be related to you like, you know The more more the looks like the two-faced look and burn burn look or anything like that but maybe mostly to do with his clothes perhaps because The the unique looks we get of Chucky. They never failed to To surprise me in the sense that The burnt face the two-faced look I'll say that was the most unique Chucky look. I think we've gotten since The stitches were introduced Everything else, of course has been more the same. They just kind of been changing the way he looks in between So I appreciate it that we got that burnt two-faced look. So maybe we'll get something that is like that but completely Different in a way, I guess Something that could be like another unique look that you can associate with his two-faced look his stitches look his regular good happy-go-lucky look Demented face look when he's just not when he doesn't have his stitch and he's just angry looking all the time Uh, so we'll see but maybe that has to do mostly with costumes Some other things they could do with the series, of course would be regarding the new final trio that we love regarding devin jake and lexie And exploring lexie's progression a little bit more because I know I've seen people talk about how they felt that her transformation from bad girl to good girl, uh Was a little rushed. I mean mostly that's a I think you're gonna You can point some of that to the fact that the seasons only eight seasons But I don't think that necessarily that the way she transitions While watching the season from start to finish is rushed It might just feel rushed when you might be accustomed to seeing these type of transitions occur Over a 20 episode format or something more than just eight so hopefully they'll flesh that out a little bit more and Give us some more in-depth understanding of lexie as a person See that bond with jake form a little bit better Learn what her life is like learn what jake is like, of course and devin Now considering that jake has lost his father his mother and an uncle and cousin I'm curious if jake is going to be actually staying with lexie or devin But then again devin himself lost his mother So there's a lot of things that I don't maybe I'm missing something because I don't think they've really confirmed Anything in the to the public as it pertains to what the living situation is going to be like for these Young kids at this put at this stage, especially jake and devin. Maybe jake will end up living with Lexie and maybe devin goes off to live with a relative, but he still manages to just come to town For Visitation reasons to see his friends or just maybe he just lives out of hacking sack But still goes to school in hacking sack because of the fact that he wants to stay close with his friends for every reason While living with a relative that adopts him We'll see what happens ultimately Let me know what you guys think we'll learn over the course of the production down in the comment section below If you haven't already, of course, make sure you subscribe turn on postfication and miss a video in the description I've linked some social media accounts on facebook twitter and instagram you can message me there Of course limiters any movies news or views you let me to cover in the future with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video
