Hello, welcome to today's live stream. Best regards from Germany. Just a short question. Can you hear me and see me? Everything fine on Discord and YouTube? Hello, Alois Sander, nice to see you again. So then, yeah, let's start. I think everything should work correctly. If the Discord stream should cut some hours, stop, please let me know. Sometimes this happened a couple of times. I don't know why. It's running known. I'm not changing anything. Perfect, DemoTrader. Hello, hello, Ragu. Perfect, so welcome to today's live stream with me, Robert Rosa. I started trading at the age of 13 for everyone who doesn't know me yet. I'm German, I'm living in Germany currently, or I am in Germany. I started to set up my first investment company at the age of 17, that was at the end of 1998, 1999. It's almost 30 years ago. I had two, yeah, two partners who taught me actually the trading and private equity, hedge fund management and alternative investments. In 2004, actually I just sold my shares of that company in 2004, I moved to China where I set up a second investment company with a Chinese partner and I managed over 100 million US dollars. I had a team of 30 people, traders, analysts and so on. But if you're very successful in China and if you know stories like from Jack Ma and other rich Chinese people, you know that you somehow always get into trouble. So I was detained in May 2011 for outsmarting the Chinese finance system. I was released in December 2018 and of course what the first thing I did was writing a book about my story. It became a bestselling book in Germany. Unfortunately, it's not translated into English yet. So if you have a publishing house or so if you know someone who's interested in an amazing story, please let me know. I'm happy to let it translate. Otherwise, yeah, I'm running a free community for German speaking people, but now also for English speaking people, if you're interested in, please send me the direct message and I will give you the link for free community to exchange yourself. Also, just Google for my name, Robert Rosa. Basically, this is where you can find me on Twitter, YouTube and Linktree. Most importantly, the general disclosure before we can start, all book map limited materials, information and presentations are for educational purposes only and should not be considered specific investment advice nor recommendations. Risk disclosure, trading futures, equities and digital currencies involve substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hi, Teddy, nice to see you. So, and yeah, well, now we can start. I think one of the interesting markets right now is Gold made also new all-time high and we could see very clearly here in book map the market sweep. It's a great way to trade. Then the liquidity came back to 171 US dollar and the market took the liquidity, absorbed it and then the sell off is starting. If you look at the chart to get the big picture of Gold, always important before you, for me before you look into book map you can get the clear picture. Gold futures, we have the daily chart front. We can see the red lines that I am, that I have drawn are basically anchored wewebs. So to say my favorite analysis tool to get a clear understanding where support and resistant lines are. Then we had the, yeah, the highs at 2082. Then we had this huge week on Monday, 4th December. The market went up to 2150 US dollar and then we were stuck in that range here. But now we have this move up and it's interesting to trade and to see where Gold can move. To get a better picture, I am going to a shorter timeframe and I will add different anchored wewebs. The first thing what we can see is if you want to analyze a market, there are two main characteristics for me that I want to understand. And this you can see in every timeframe, also in book map. Book map is essential to understand this for day traders. The first actually type of condition the market can be is a rotation. This is a rotation here. We can see the move, the market is moving sidewalks and then the breakout is coming. Again, we have a rotation here. Again, we have a rotation here. The market is shifting upward. We have a rotation here and a rotation here. And then the market will make a shift and goes to the next level. This we call a trend. This is basically the trend. This is an impulse. I would call it an aggressive shift of the valuation of the market and this is more like a slower upward trend. So main picture is for us. Yeah, Rob, are you trading ECB news today? How important is economic news and reports for your trading and funds? James, good question. It is very important, especially if you're a day trader and we can just make a quick look at it. We have trading economics is my favorite website to see the news releases. This is central European time. Since I'm based in Germany right now. You see how many people are here. If there are questions, please let me know. I will answer immediately. Today, Thursday, we have the interest rate decision. It's already passed. Then we have 4 p.m. Fed Chair Powell testimony. And if Chairman, the chair Powell is talking, it will always be volatile. So you must be very cautious in your actions and most likely the support and resistance zones that we set up for our sales, for our trading plan might not be that, how to say, not that strong. Because if you say something like A, then the market will jump up. If he says that's not good, the market will crash. So it's sort of luck. If you're not an experienced trader, I suggest you better still just keep watching and don't risk your own capital. There are enough other trading days during that year where you can trade with lower risk. Of course, the opportunities are there. If you hit a trend, you can make quick money. But we are not here to gamble. We are here to last long to have a good income and we are always here to trade another day. Don't crash your account in one day. I know all the stories happen to me also. I remember 2001, one of some of the first days of trading year. Ellen Greenspan was chairman and he cut the interest rate. Nobody was prepared for it. And at that time the S&P future just jumped up and I was long, so I was happy. I made like 25 grand. I was just 18 years old, 18, 19 years old. I made 25 grand in a couple of seconds. So I know how this can work for you, but also against you. Are you watching the stops and icebergs? Yes, I'm also watching on stops and icebergs. But most importantly for me is simplicity in trading and to understand market structure. If you don't know what is the rotation, well, and if you know that the market cannot just walk through these sort of support and resistance lines, then you make a lot of miss trades, which will go into a, which will run into your stop loss. And actually it's sort of a basic information that you should know. And if you can manage this, if you know what the rotation is, if you know the market structure, basically you also know where the icebergs are. I don't need an iceberg indicator to show me on a chart where an iceberg order is. You can see this perfectly in book map, with simply watching on the bubbles and how the market is moving. Now we are now in the pre-session, pre-opening, important numbers for me. And I can show you also is your open price, of course, then the settlement price from last night. Can somebody tell me the settlement price for the E-mini from yesterday? First context, yeah, I will bring that into play. Most importantly, the basic homework that you have to do is check the settlement price. Settlement price yesterday, easy to look up, to search for is 511.75. You can find it on the website from the CME Group on equities, E-mini, markets, E-mini. Also for the NASDAQ, it's the same, but I prefer to trade the E-mini. NASDAQ is too choppy for me, but that's of course personal choice. And then settlements, 511.75. Then I have a table here for the March, so today is 7th, 24th, open price, we don't have this yet, 511.75. Then the next thing which is very important for me is the high and low of the initial balance. The initial balance are the first 30 trading minutes of the day, and I want to know what is the high, what is the low, and the delta. I keep record of this for each month, and then I know if we have a delta, the difference actually from high minus low is around 10 points or below points, we will have a breakout on the second half of the day. So it's a beginning, nothing's happening.  If the range is very narrow, mostly most of the orders are not filled yet, so you need a different price level valuation to get these orders filled. This then basically, during the second half of the day, that's what happens, it's a market will shift upwards or downwards, or both. If we have a huge delta at the beginning, 17 is larger for these days, but last year we had a delta of 30 to 40 points, and even more, it's the beginning of the day, then most likely we will not have a huge movement on the second half of the day, that means I would sell the highs and buy the lows, and here I would start to jump on the trade, to actually buy pullbacks or sell pullbacks. It's a very important number, most traders don't pay attention to it anymore, it's an old school thing, but it's still, if you look at the lines later on, you will see that they still have a lot of, they're very good support and resistance zones during that day. So now let's have a look here at the basic view on the ES, and I will also talk about gaps. Most, I look at the regular trading hours, I like these charts a lot more, and especially gaps, like we saw yesterday, perfect gap close here, it's the best trades, yeah? Also, this gap was closed during the extended trading hours, we could see it here, perfect gap close, and we went to that support line, nearly to the settlement price from yesterday. Now I have to add the settlement price from today, to my lines 511.75, yeah, and it's also interesting, it's almost near the initial balance low from yesterday, just add SP, well, the initial balance from yesterday I will delete, I don't need that today. I will add it later, the Vwebs I'm also deleting, the opening price from yesterday is also important, I mean during the trading days, the opening price, but I will delete it, this gap is also closed, we delete this line, this gap is closed, and I will add here at this point, resistant lines for me, I know if the market goes to this area, definitely it's a short scenario for me, and this rotation as well. This is what I mentioned before, these zones are very important, because in this rotation, big players, they accumulated their size. For example, if you want to add, if you have to trade 1 million S&P futures, if you have to buy them, you cannot do it with buying market, yeah, so you have to, you need a longer time period to buy them, and so you have your entrance point here, and we can also measure these entrance points or the average price by simply putting a volume profile on it, then we can see that the settlement price is near the point of control, the price level is most of the volume, so we know if the market goes up to this area, 5,145, we can actually think, or we could say that the big players who actually sold a lot of future contracts here would defend the entrance position, and we have a pullback, because most likely they will not have fulfilled their full order size, so this is why I have the settlement price, this settlement price in combination with the point of control, and that is the context of the market, we know we have a huge resistance here. I can use this perfectly for day trades, and we are very close to that area, we are now at 5,135, pre-session, so we actually move exactly into this resistance zone. Now we compare this zone, the 1,145, to book map, what can we see here? 45, oh, no surprise, there is huge volume, the pre-session, so the sellers of this area here, they are not finished yet, they want to sell more contracts at the 1,145, and we can also see above 55,56. As a day trader now I would suppose to look for reversal trades in that area. There are different ways you can either, you can actually put a sale limit order in front of this liquidity to trade the pullback, I like to do these things with a short stop loss, and you can make something like 10 to 15 ticks in the ES easily, because these are the pullbacks. You can also start and trade two contracts or three contracts. Basically you go with two contracts short, the first one you will, the first TP will be after 12 ticks, and the second contract you will let run to the VWAP for example. So now let me check your questions and I will go into that. Are you trading news? We already had this, are you watching the stop and icebergs or book map? Well, for me, I actually, I can add them, but for me the market context and to see where these liquidity zones are is more important. And well, I will find examples later where you simply can spot iceberg orders. Can you talk about context, which is priority economy news or price action or is it a combination of both? For me, price action is definitely more important. The news, they always have a reaction to the market. I am not an analyst. I don't know how to interpret these news if they are good or not. Actually, I don't care. If news are coming or will be published, I try to stay out of the market until the market has a reaction and I can trade again, yeah. So basically, if there's news time, I'm staying away.  Yeah, well, trading again against icebergs. Well, we always, we never know really what is the intention of these icebergs. Are they there to hatch a big position as they are there to build up positions or they just want to get rid of their positions? We don't know it. Yeah, if you see an iceberg and the market will stop at this level and then the market will break through, okay. Then basically, you have a new trend. You will get a market sweep which you can use for trading with stop-buy orders. There are many different ways how to trade it. For example, here again, it's no pre-session but we see these ranges. We have only 85 contracts in the book but basically, we trade a little bit more, yeah. Now it's difficult to spot them but in 10, 15 minutes, we can see if there are a huge volumes traded inside the bubbles but the order book, the price quantity is still the same. We know there is an iceberg order. Do you trade a gap to fill settlement? Yeah, I love to trade gaps. If we have a gap close, I basically want to enter the market. It's always a very profitable trading strategy, sometimes a bit boring. I have to say because you have to wait but it simply works very well during the last days, weeks. Are you trading overnight markets? No, I basically only trade the regular trading hours. I don't like overnight market trading. It's too slow for me and I'm using this time to do other things. It's basically during morning time, you're on normal working hours in Europe. The ETH trading hours, but for me, I do other things. I do my market research. I'm learning a lot. I have, I'm running my trading communities where I communicate with my traders, reading books and doing that sort of stuff. Go shopping, what you have to do. Are you a trend follower or mainly rotations? I basically, it depends on the market. If I trade stocks, I'm a trend follower and I hold them over longer periods of time. Also for cryptocurrencies, I'm a trend follower. I trade Bitcoin and Ethereum and other coins. For day trading, I'm basically not a trend follower. I look for reverse trades because 80% of the time, the market's I know rotation. And for me personally, I like to have short trades, scalping, I don't like to be for long periods of time in the market. I want to get in, take 12, 15 ticks out of it and I'm happy.  These orders, people can pull off any time, right? How do you gauge once price it? These orders and price going hold or will just go through it? Basically, it's simply a gamble, yeah? If you have a chance of 50% and you have a risk-reward ratio from two to one, it works. If you have a trading statistic of 60% winning rates, then you can still make money with a risk-to-reward ratio of one to one. I don't try to imagine too much into certain zones, yeah? As more context we have, like, I know there is a price action resistance, there's a volume point of control, so there's a VWAP, I know the probability that the market will have a reverse at that level is higher. But in the end, we are still have a 50-50 chance, actually it's below 50-50 in any moment. We have to deduct the commissions. So you have to think more about mathematics, gambling, money management strategies, and not to really make your entry perfect. Think more about where you should place your stop loss, how large your stop loss is and where you should put your take profits. And do you have only one take profit or two or three? And then see what the numbers are in place for you. Exactly, nobody knows the intention and the iceberg trader who is active at the moment. It's not the only one in the market. Definitely, yeah? And if there's an iceberg order and this iceberg order is being filled, there's also the other side. I mean, it's a transaction. Buyer and seller agreed to take this price. So we can say, yeah, there's a big selling iceberg order. Yeah, correct. But there were also the same amount of buyers. So it's the end, it's equal, yeah? When Euro close happens, do you close out positions? Is Euro close important? You mean like 5 p.m. European time that's official trading hours in Europe, like London and Frankfurt, actually, yeah. Cease or stop. I don't pay too much attention about that for indices. If you trade currencies like Euro, US dollar, yeah, you can see all these movements during that period of time. Opening for a European session, closing European session, opening US session, closing US session, opening Asia session, closing Asia sessions. For currencies or forex markets, it's definitely very important. For indices, from my point of view, not actually, maybe people have a trading strategy for that can definitely be, I don't pay too much attention on that. And most likely around 5 p.m. I'm not actually trading, it's going to be lunchtime in US and we have a sideways market, mostly like 5.30, 6.30 to 7.30. And then the second half, starting probably 7.30, 8.30, Central European time. Yeah, it's getting the action again. Do you use any statistics based on previous levels, backtasting the market? I have, I'm working together with a programmer who's running a lot of statistics for Vweb trades, for example, and then we evaluate if this is valid trading strategy or not. I am not that tech guy. For me, I basically use my experience from over more than 25 years now of trading to see which zones and levels are important. And they actually have never changed. The only thing that is changing, the markets are getting faster, the technology is getting better, we're getting more information, but the market still has a rotation and still has a trend. This never changes. But definitely the speed. And then I'm also old school. I basically take pen and paper and write down my trades and also the paper trades that might be interesting. And then I get an idea and a feeling if the strategy is working. And then very good way nowadays, actually I never had that 20 years ago, we have a lot of prop firms that offer you cheap access to trading capital and trading environment. Simply go to one of these firms, open a account, a challenge. Don't take this challenge personally, just execute your new trading strategy on this account. And then you know if it works or not. If it doesn't work, you only lose the fee for the evaluation, but that's only a few bucks compared to your own money. I like these prop firms nowadays. Before I was not a fan of them because actually it's not a prop firm. We have to say this, you will never trade their real money because it would be illegal according to laws of the different countries. For example, in Germany, you must be asset manager, a licensed asset manager to manage money or work under an umbrella of that company. I did that before. And then you trade real money. These prop firms simply betting against you that you will lose the evaluation, they get your fee, that's it. And they will never forward these orders to the market. If they would do that, they would commit a crime in most of the countries. How can you sort out and identify the supply orders from spoof levels on book map? It's on book map. One second. Okay, now we have the opening, I will just comment it. Now the market opening was happening and we exactly move into that zone which I identified here as this rotation. Again, we can put the volume profile and we will extend to the point of control here, this area before the point of control was a little bit higher. Okay, we'll exactly move into that resistance zones and we can see the market stop. Yeah, went to the settlement price from fourth of March, fifth of March and here we have this high volume note. And if you understand this market structure, you won't look for long trades here. Definitely not, it will ruin you. Now, if you understand these simple mathematics or structures price action, we simply look for reversal trades in this area. And we can basically really identify these levels at year one in book map. We had the liquidity here, perfect trade. Took the liquidity, made 10, 20 ticks, you're fine.  That's my way of trading, yeah. This is a preparation work which takes a lot of time and then I have these key zones and then simply execute them. And now we have to add the V-Web at the opening time. Very important. Actually, this is the session V-Web from when I started book map. We could see that these deviations work very well the market simply dived into this deviation zone and made the retracement, the pullback. These zones are very important because all the algorids, algos are trading according to V-Web, it's a very important thing. A very benchmark, it's not an indicator, it's a benchmark. Now we add a new V-Web here, the date, the date for seven, I like to have some more fancy colors, bands, we have the first and second standard deviation. And we should see now the session V-Web starting day V-Web. There are many different words for it. I call it session V-Web starting at 3.30 or 9.30. New York time. Now we see what the market will do. We always can identify in the sideways market and rotation that these lines, these, yeah, multiplayer lines, standard deviations work very well as support at resistance level and price targets. Now simply at this moment, there is nothing to trade for me or no trade indication. I would wait, that's the market first to finish the initial balance. This is the high and low until 4 p.m. Then we know at 4 p.m. we have news, yeah? So be very careful and don't be in the market before 4 p.m. We really don't know what's going to happen. So if you have any questions, fill them in. I'm not sure if on Discord. You can ask questions here in my Discord channel. I'm just having a look, Steven posted there. And yeah, you're on YouTube, of course. How can you sort out and identify supply orders from spoof levels on book map? The supply orders of spoof level spoofing and the fake orders. I'm not exactly sure what you mean now. Maybe you can help me a little bit to understand what do you mean these bracket orders here in NASDAQ Future? This basically we can, we use settings, configure add ons, trader map pro, and we activate for the NASDAQ. Sure, only the orders that were not changed by price. And I basically add another one, add filter, order duration filter. Sure, orders that exist longer than at least 15 seconds. I run this script. I like this a lot. I also like market piles, but right now, it's with live streams and with a sound effect, sometimes a little bit annoying. So now we should be able to eliminate these zones. Yeah, and we get a clearer picture about liquidity levels. 18 to 50. Does the initial balance from the last few days have any relevance for you? Yes, most likely. I really, I try to not put too many lines into my chart. Otherwise it's getting really, really confusing, but I can tell you from my experience that initial balance lines from previous days are definitely of interest. Sometimes the market really stops there without any reason. But if I would have now all initial balance inside my basic chart, it would get, yeah, very, very confusing. So now we just hit the settlement prices. The settlement prices I still have in my chart, they are, I think for the last week or two, always interesting trading levels. And now we can see here we have a very nice gap. I like to watch on these charts, five minute chart. If we get the gap close here in this area, I am really happy to wait to get the trade. Here at the settlement price in this area, definitely long. If I could can take this trade this way down, difficult. So now for me, basically just right now we wait. What's the market is doing here? We wait until 4 p.m. What's the chairman Powell is going to say? And if we have a sell off, definitely I will look for my long here. And until then I simply wait and drink tea or do live streams like now. That's very nice. Maybe let me also ask you some questions. Where are you based? Basically in the United States or in Europe or somewhere else in Asia? And which markets do you prefer to trade? ESNQ or Gold Oil or North Korea? Okay, interesting place. Yeah, exactly. That's a good question Florian. Are you trading the past to the gap close or the rebound from it? For me, the rebound from it is definitely the safer way to trade. I never know if the market really travels all the way down to the gap close. These trades have a higher risk scenario. But if I see we break below the initial balance after 4 p.m. I would basically look to trade the pullbacks. Let's say the market goes below here. I will draw it in here. Then we have a pullback. I would try to find my sell limit here and try to catch some moves on the downside. And then basically below here I would just place my buy limit order stupidly at the closing price and it will get this tick, maybe one tick before the closing price and then the market will go up. That's what happened during the last weeks, most of the time, very safe trades. So if you have this patience and you wait for this one trade, just my advice is just wait for this gap strategy, get close, place your buy limit order, go away from the computer and just enjoy the sun. We have good weather right now in Germany, sun is shining and wait what is going to happen. US, yes, Canada and NQ. Yeah, NQ I really, I never was the NQ trader I have to admit. I really, it's too choppy for me most of the time. And also at a time where I was trading larger amounts of capital, I actually I was in Hong Kong and I had my office in Shenzhen in Hong Kong and I was trading the Hang Seng future. Basically my orders were so big that we moved the Hang Seng future. It was time around 2007, eight, nine, 10 these years. We placed big orders there and the market just went 50, 60 points up or down. The Hang Seng index is similar to the Nasdaq, choppy market, yeah, I like to use, at that time I mean, it was okay for me but now I'm more the relaxed person in the NQs too nervous for me. Anyone from you around New York City or basically in New York City, I am planning to have a community event in New York City maybe at the end of this year, together with book map, I already spoke to Bruce about this and maybe we can arrange something if people are interested to come to New York, I would come from Europe to NYC to have to spend a couple of days together to exchange ideas, to get people to know personally. I am doing this in Germany at least once a year. Or there's 40 to 50 traders are coming and yeah. It's a very nice and famous get together. We did already five or six, yeah, community meetings. And I can tell you, you learn a lot from that just by talking to people, not through the internet but face to face, it's a huge different thing. So now actually what I predicted is, it looks like it's going to happen. We traded exactly into this area, yeah. Went a little bit above about the highs to the highs but it's very difficult for the market to just simply move through this liquidity area we had on book map and this zone. Now the market is coming back. And this zones for traders, we can definitely add into book map. I like to do this to define my zones of trading here. I know if the market comes into this level, it will not simply walk through. Yeah, I would look to find short opportunities either here at the standard deviation VWAP here and here and at the liquidity levels. And again now just hitting the lower band. Oh, from Italy. Buonasiera, I love Italy. I went there many, many times. I sponsored in 2010, I had a racing team. I drove 24 hours of Le Mans and I sponsored an Italian racing driver. He won the GT3 championship couple times, Luca Pili. And yeah, we traveled through Europe with our racing team driving LMP2, other Le Mans prototypes if someone knows something. If someone loves cars here, I love them a lot or still do and also car racing, very intense sport. Buongiorno, Naciera. And I love Tuscany, I went many times to Tuscany and I hear even in Germany, I have a lot of friends, Italian friends, actually in my building where I live downstairs is a very good Italian restaurant and all the Italians are my very close friends. So now, well, where are we going now? Get close before the speech. And this is now the question that before you asked, Florian, where to enter now? Yeah, now we are on the way to the get close. Okay, where should we enter? Where is the stop? It's very difficult to determine this for me. I think I would make a lot of stop loss trades. So I simply, I know the target might be down here, but difficult to jump on this trade. So I simply wait until the market is here to try to look for the pullback. OPL from Milano.   I was many times in Milan. It's very, very beautiful city where I was always stayed in the gray. It's near the cashier or the dome, Milano drug dome. But the sculpture, I think it was the Milan Stock Exchange was really amazing. Let's see if we can find a picture. Yeah. You can look for, yes, Il Ditto, yeah? Il Ditto. Juventus, okay. Well, if you are Juventus fan, you must know Borussia Dortmund. It's my hometown and my favorite team. I love soccer. Yeah. And Borussia Dortmund beat Juventus in 1997 and Dortmund wins the Champions League, yeah? Yeah, we crashed Juventus 3-1. Long time ago. Oh my God. Almost 30 years. Il Ditto Medio, yeah? It's a middle finger. Very nice. It's perfect location. Just Google for Il... I own Wikipedia. I can show it here. Il Ditto. It's a... Commonly known as Il Ditto Italian for the finger. It's called Il Ditto Italian for the finger. Yeah. Well, things like this, you know, I immediately remember. I like to visit places like this, related to the stock market, of course, yeah. Wow, it's really cool. A lot of people are watching. It's amazing. And I started, yeah, like I said, I started, if I can make some... Ba-ba-ba-ba. Community. English-speaking community. Traders mindset. I think it should fall below a significant level and aim for the gap close from there. Yeah. I mean, what we can see here right now, if we want to get potential entrance for a gap close. Basically, the VWAP is essential. The session VWAP. We have these zones that we can... What? A rectangle. These zones... In combination with the VWAP is basically a good resistance zone to catch the downtrend and most importantly, the anchored VWAP which we can place at the high. So this is actually now the perfect short zone, anchored VWAP in combination with the... I call it rotation, yeah? Resistance zone. And the session VWAP starting at 9.30 US time, one New York time, or 3.30 century European time. This area here, 5, 1, 4, 1, 50 should be a good resistance. Entrance point probably here to catch onto this trend. But keep in mind in 9 minutes we have news, yeah? This is dangerous. Exactly the yellow wall. This we have, 81,300 people. Okay, now in this zone I did not even buzzer about this zone. This is, yeah, news events, yeah? This is always unpredictable. This is why I don't, we had this question before, price action or news. Now news are more important than price action because the news are, yeah? For me, just simply a sign to be very, very cautious in my trading decisions. So where do we have the low here? We had 5, 1, 3, 3, 0.25. Let's see if this holds. Get it into my list. 5, 1, 3, 3, 0.25. The high is at the moment here. 5, 1, 4, 7. 7.75. That gives us the delta of 14.5. It's increasing, definitely. But it's not huge yet. Anyways, you have hours not done yet. That means in plain words, if this number is a lot bigger than the last days, I would not trade the trend. I would trade reversals. I would look for shorts here and would look for long signals here. If this range is very low, like 6.25, I would trade breakouts here and basically not trade the breakout directly, but the retest and then try to jump on the trend. Very simple, but effective way to get the context of the market. No need to study rocket science for that. Then I draw in these lines. You might wonder why I use these very big lines because I simply had long time big problems with my left eye so I cannot see that clearly and I get new glasses. I went to the doctor yesterday many times already and get now special glasses to get a better view on the screens again. How does news affect the ES compared to NQ? Same. There is no difference. The NQ, because of this liquidity, the NQ has not this sick order book like the ES so the moves are more aggressive, more volatile than the ES. But in the end when the news are coming out it affects both markets in the same manner. If you trade the reversals are you worried about counter-trend trading? Trend is up but you are shorting? Yes, definitely. It's a game but I'm not really my understanding of reversal is not that I actually want to catch the full reversal of the day. I simply want to catch a pullback. Maybe I should change the description from reversal trader to pullback trader. I look for levels that give me like 15 to 20 ticks possibility of a pullback and this is what I like to trade. For example, if we mostly get close to the VWAP or to zones like this exactly I said I would look for shorts above here market comes to this level and now we have this pullback. This is what I like to trade and now the market will go to the VWAP and that would be basically my target and my trade would be done. Enter short here above here. Like I said we are still in a close delta of the initial balance so it's a valid trade. Sell the high by the low and this is exactly what happened now. This is why I draw these lines and for me it's very clear that the market will not simply walk through this. So this is my trading zone. On the other hand now my next trading zone is simply here and this is the middle price where the two VWAPs are and this zone is my fair value. I would definitely not like to enter any trade in this zone. It's more something like the point of control. I could go and say ok I trade the pullback from the VWAPs. It's a possibility to trade but for me I want to see that we create a new high or new low and then I would wait until the market goes to the VWAP and then trade the pullback from the VWAP. Right now we are in a fair zone of the market structure. There is no trading possibility. This is either here or below here. Very simple structure. If you follow these things you definitely understand the markets and you can be profitable. So in one minute news will come or someone is going to speak. Let's see if we see the order book is getting thinner. Sometimes we can draw nice images when news are coming you see the liquidity is pulling out of the market and you get nice shapes like rockets or mushrooms. Funny sight entertainment who can draw the most beautiful charts during news. So again the market touches this zone and it's not simply walking through. I mean now it's 4 p.m. How do I follow these news or if something important is happening there is a nice website called Financial Juice. For free you get the latest or most important updates. I don't have the paid version I'm just using the free version. If there is a reaction in the market I want to know what is behind this reaction. To receive the news in real time I'm anyway too far away from the news release. My internet connection is not that fast and I cannot trade the reaction. I just want to know is something really bad happening and going on. And this during war times we have to say Ukraine war Russian war and Israel situation anything can happen anytime maybe a bomb is hitting Poland we had this issue a couple of months ago then the markets immediately have a crash reaction. So I want to know what's behind that and for this this website gives you quite up to date news. Yeah right now there are no surprises here. I thought we would get some action right now. Initial balance is the same and now we can also draw them here into my charts. I'll be high. So and if we look like I said the initial balance in comparison to the last days of this month 14.5 is not the highest higher than the previous days we still could expect a breakout. I wouldn't trade along around this area here I would look for shots in this area definitely also this area very nice for shots I think we also have a lot of liquidity at 155 yeah exactly here if we compare to the chart where is this level yeah it's here 56 exactly this high. This is nice pullback area not reversal area we call it no pullback area yeah it was great talking to you yeah exactly the news felt more mild than a cheeseburger definitely yesterday was action with Paul out of nothing the market started to rock and roll up down up down up down and out of nothing it just happened. So my idea for the day is we might have a break out in this area so I would look for pullback trades in this area if we break below the low I would not trade the pass to get close I would simply lay down and wait to reach this level here for example the settlement price or below this area I would decide in that moment where is the liquidity in book map to enter the trade in this area so these are the two objectives ideas for my personal trading for today otherwise then I would wish you I wish you all a happy happy day trade carefully so that you are still in my stream next week don't go don't crash your account be patient and well if you have any questions ask me here and also my free community I am working on that for English speaking people as well also be I hopefully published next days and I would say bye bye and see you next Thursday


A content delivery network or content distribution network CDN is a geographically distributed network of proxy servers and their data centers. The goal is to distribute service spatially relative to end users to provide high availability and high performance. CDNs serve a large portion of the Internet content today, including web objects, text, graphics and scripts, downloadable objects, media files, software, documents applications e-commerce, portiles live streaming media, on-demand streaming media, and social media sites. CDNs are a layer in the Internet ecosystem. Content owners such as media companies and e-commerce vendors pay CDN operators to deliver their content to their end users. In turn, a CDN pays ISDs, carriers, and network operators for hosting its servers in their data centers. CDN is an umbrella term spanning different types of content delivery services, video streaming, software downloads, web and mobile content acceleration, licensed slash-managed CDN, transparent caching, and services to measure CDN performance, load balancing, multi-CDN switching and analytics and cloud intelligence. CDN vendors may crossover into other industries like security, with DDOs protection and web application firewalls with and want optimization.

So many of them. Ya. So why are you making that transition right now from, I know you're still doing acting, but why are you deciding to do music now? Music has been part of me since Kitambo, you know, growing up, I used to love music. Back then in campers, first, before I graduated, I thought like after graduating, I'll go straight into music. But I saw music and I did a lot of learning, budgeting and I wasn't ready for that particular moment. Ya. So I got a bit of acting na jwa. I've acted for a while and I feel like, I came in, I was in a show craft. Ya, I was in a show craft.

Is there a specific genre that you want to stick to? No, no, no. I'm open minded. I'll try different sounds, but most of the time I'll be doing Afro Pop, but I'm not limited to Afro Pop. I'll be doing a couple of things you'll be seeing. So after Katika, is there anything else that you are working on? Najat faikuli za iwi lakini. You say that you are going to be consistent so we need to put you on your toes. Is there anything with you working on? Hopefully next month I'm releasing another one. Okay, okay. Already in the process we're almost there like 80%. So something is cooking. We have to keep on the momentum. What should your fans expect from you as well? Good vibes, you're always good vibes.

Alright, so before we listen to Katika one more time for maybe that person who has just joined us right now. Remember today the show is all about you. Is there anything you want to listen to? Tell us. Head over to our social media handles and tell us what you want to listen to so long as you're keeping it 100% Kenya. It could be. If you want to do any international artist it has to be a collaboration with a Kenyan artist. You can send us your photo as well and tell us which material you're representing out there. So right about now up next is the Katika.


Yeah, it was just a thought and now it is a question that God only used anyone who was ready. Yeah. So if, because in the New Testament, even in the Old Testament, people like Deborah, God used them because there was no man to stand up.  That's what's going on to my mind faster. And secondly, on the issue of women not preaching or not speaking, I think Paul said also somewhere that he didn't comment the same thing to other churches. So woman not preaching was particularly to that church based on the question they asked him and what was going on. So we should not generalize the scriptures. We should read them based on how they are written, where they are written and why they are written and to whom, I think. Thank you. Yes, thank you. Thank you, Maggie. Thank you for that. Yeah, God can use anybody. Just a willing heart is what he's looking for. And yeah, one more thing that you said is, you know, that it's like not in the other churches, right? That's an additional point there and I'll talk about it. But before that, I saw that I think Samuel has been removed from the meeting. I don't know how that happened, but I got a message saying he's been removed. So if you're on a group, could you please ask Samuel to join back? I don't know how that happened. I didn't remove, but he's been removed from the meeting. So if someone could please invite him back, that would be great. And just a clarification while I was sharing the section on women in ministry, I got a little confused of whether Haldah is Isaiah's wife. So in what I said, it sounds like she's his wife, but actually no. I just kind of double checked it again. So my apologies. So Isaiah's wife is another prophetess, but Haldah is another prophetess. So I just want to clarify that. Yeah, okay. And Mangi, the other churches, right? I think that that passage is also an interesting one because that's about head coverings where in the Corinthian church, Paul tells the women to have a head covering. And I know that many churches practice that as well. But towards the end of that passage, he says that we don't have any such practice in our other churches. So that's about head covering. And that again, because there is a context to it. The Corinthian women, they would do up their hair and all. You know, so many things are there to explain for that. But he makes it clear at the end of the passage. I think it is the same passage, you know, 1 Corinthians 11 where he says that we don't have any such rule for the other churches of God. So then again, we can note from there that it's not a rule. People who want to cover their head, women they can. Those who don't want to, it doesn't really affect our worship unto God in a public gathering. Yeah, so that's an additional point. Yes. Anything else, class, that you would like to discuss in this regard? Okay. I think the biblical base is quite clear. So women can be encouraged. One of the things that I would also add to it is that in several cultures, women are discouraged because of the cultural mindset. So from my observation and what I hear others say, it is difficult for women to minister and to stay in ministry. You might find that they will minister for some time and then they, you know, because they couldn't get much support, they kind of give up.  You know, just being around, just being positive about women ministering can be a great encouragement for a lot of women. Otherwise, what happens, you know, because of the cultures, women either they don't step up or if they do step up, eventually they want to give up. Right. So I just, I just want to add that note because I am all in the ministry and we will have women around so we can be positive and encouraging for two women. Yes. Yes, Maggie. Yeah, go ahead. Okay. Thank you. I have a question based on what we are speaking now. I know we are living in modern era. I think it's most modern era. And we still have some places like Arabic world where like Saudi Arabia, women are regarded second class and women cannot take center stage or some leadership roles. Or let's say, for example, Afghanistan where women are not allowed to lead nor to work without covering their heads. So in case we plant a church in Afghanistan, how do you handle that? The women to cover their heads in the church or what do we do? Thank you. Yeah. Thank you, Maggie. Thank you for that. So see, Maggie, we will understand what the Bible says. So it's not about one particular country's culture or one particular community's culture. We are talking about kingdom culture. Kingdom culture. So what does the Bible prescribe? Can women minister? Yes. Do they always need to have head covering? No. Okay. So all these things are clear. But now coming back to the cultural context. Okay. So it is like, it is possible that in some places, you know, it might be like a pioneering work where it's hard at first to have a woman minister and then for people to accept it. But we might have to make that journey to break that tradition. And it can be very difficult. Again, you need God's wisdom and discernment to do it. So yeah, in a place like Afghanistan and all, you know, to go counterculture like that, I don't think it is easy. But it can be done in, how do I say it? Not like in a rebellious way, but I think it can be done. Okay. So yeah, that's what I would say. But then again, you know, sometimes what happens if there is like a one-off ministry. Opportunity mangy like for example, I'll tell you is when we go to the north of India, there are some places where the people may not be open to you speaking if you don't wear a head covering. Okay. So like when we go for missions and things like that as part of our guidelines, we will also tell the women like you have to dress in the Indian attire.  That is just to see we are going there as a one-off thing and we want them to receive from us. So we don't want, you know, our clothes or the head covering to become an issue of contention. We believe that you don't need it. However, it's just like one opportunity, one window of opportunity. So why argue about all these matters? We follow their rules. If they say, okay, you have to wear this color, whatever, whatever. Yeah, that's all fine.  So yeah, that's what I would like to say. And I hope it makes sense. Yes, that's thank you. Yeah, yeah, sure. Thank you. Yes, but it is hard enough to have, you know, women share. You know, sometimes we've had that, you know, people will be like, what are you saying? You know, there are three women doing three different things. How could you let women take the sessions? So then we don't say anything about it. We just, you know, hopefully that is counterculture and eventually that will help them realize that the Bible doesn't really put a limit on which gender can minister. Yeah. Okay. All right. So any more questions or are we ready to wrap up this topic? All right. I think we've spoken enough and there's enough clarity. So let's go forward then. Thank you everyone for those questions. Now the next topic here is about systems and processes within the local church. So systems and processes are for organization. And I think you are also studying this in another course if I'm not wrong. So I'm just going to go over this, you know, quickly. So we need to have some way of managing the activities of the church. So systems, putting systems and processes in place will help us more efficient. So what are the reasons for being organized in the local church context? If we are organized, we can be excellent. If we are organized, we can ensure proper functioning of the church activities. And we can also see multiplication and growth. Or in the words, you know, today, we're all familiar with the cop. We can scale. Things become scalable. We can impact more people. And whatever we are doing, you know, it can really bless people's lives. So that is the reason why we need to have some order, some organization, and thereby systems, processes in place. So in this chapter, we are going to look at various processes, but they are divided in, like, with the understanding of the human body.  But all these systems working together ensure a healthy body. And the same way, for a local church to be healthy, what are the systems that will help? So we are using the human body language here. But these things have to do with the local church. So the various systems that we need in the local church. We need a circulatory system. Now in the human body circulatory system, it ensures the flow of blood to every organ, every part of the body, and thereby there is good care and good nurture of the physical body. And in the same way, in the local church, we need to have some systems which will ensure that people are being nurtured, they are being cared for. So again, for every local church, the programs that they adopt, the processes that they go by can be specific to that local church. So this is not like, you know, these are the, you have to, you know, cooperate these things in your local church, it's not like that. But there are just some examples that we want to put out there, which will help, you know, functioning of the local church. So in the circulatory system, an opportunity for one-on-one mentoring. So if there is one-on-one mentoring, obviously, you know, people will be enriched, people will be guided, people will be strengthened to continue in the faith. So that can be done. We can also have small groups. We know that small groups have, they help people connect better. You know, people will have relationships. And so there'll be somebody to speak into the life of another person, teach them God's word and, you know, keep helping them grow up in God. So small groups will help as part of the nurture in a local church. There can also be something called the member care, member care team. So member care team, TPC, what we do is we have a specific ministry or like it is, you know, it's something that we do intentionally, member care. As part of the member care, there are a couple of processes that we have. There's something called one phone call in which we, you know, regularly make phone calls to our members of our congregation just to ask them how they're doing, you know, how they're keeping. So at least we know, you know, if they are in a situation of need, we can address it. So things like that. Then under member care, you could put your own, you know, processes. Under member care, there is, you know, taking, if someone is sick, then how do you take care of that person? If someone, somebody is in a difficult situation, you know, there are different needs. It could be a financial need. It could be, you know, an accident that has taken place. So many things can happen. So how to step into those situations and behave to those families. So you can actually, you can actually get that out. Maybe you have small teams, response teams that step up that will help people in their situation. So they can member care team. They can also be specialized counselors. Because we know that, you know, people are in need of counseling regarding, you know, their marriage issues, need of counseling regarding, you know, various, could be other relationships in church, you know, a strife, division. There can be need for counseling for young adults with regard to their career. So there can be these specialized needs. So basically, we look at the congregation, we understand the needs and then we come up with solutions. So these are all just some examples. You could pick from these or have your own, you know, necessary activities. They can also be regular seminars, seminars on topics that are relevant. So if there are young families in the church, maybe marriage seminar, parenting seminar, you know, managing one's finances. These could be relevant topics. There are a lot of working professionals. You could have a workplace related seminar. So all of this will strengthen and nurture the believers. Now let's look at the skeletal system. Skeletal system is nothing but the structure that supports. So that forms the support of the human body. And similarly for the local church, you know, the good leadership, proper leadership, then the organization, the way things are organized, the way the administration is planned out. All of this will strengthen. It will provide a framework for other things to be done. So we must make sure that, you know, we are working on all these areas. And how to raise up these strong leaders. I think we've already discussed that under another topic. So we won't go in a detailed manner into that. But we know that strong leaders make strong churches. So one must really invest in building leaders. Okay, next would be your muscular system. Muscular system ensures strength and mobility. So in the same way for a local church, strength and mobility will come from equipped people. So how can we equip people? We can plan for training sessions. We can plan for mentoring sessions. We can have, you know, some hands-on experience sort of sessions when it comes to ministering, how to minister, how to be a minister of God, to prophesy. We can have all of these equipping sessions that will strengthen the people. And that will make them confident in serving wherever God has called them. So trainings can be done. One-on-one mentoring can, they can also be like a general teaching from the pulpit as well. Now that is helpful. But if we really want people to gain confidence, especially in ministering the gifts of the spirit and areas like that, one would also need to plan additional trainings. So look at your congregation, look at where they are at and then plan accordingly for them to very confident. Along with this, we could create opportunity for people to minister. One thing is to learn. Another thing is to actually live it out, to practice those things. So at church, if we have, you know, people can use those gifts, then that will also bring rapid growth in their lives. So we can do that, give them opportunity to minister. Okay, so there are few aspects listed here, but you could pick whatever would be relevant for you. Next would be the digestive system. Digestive system has to do with strong nourishment, your regular food, regular meals of the day, balanced meal that is providing nourishment of all your macronutrients, micronutrients, everything that you need to be alive. So in the same way, for a believer in a local church to be strengthened and nourished, some of the key things that we must look at or be careful about is the ministry of the word from the pulpit. Now if that is in a strong way, in a planned way, in a way as led by the Holy Spirit, obviously people will be strong, they will be equipped in the Lord. Then in addition to that, you know, yes, we do address certain subjects from the pulpit, but there's always more questions, isn't it? There are subjects that individually we want to meditate on individually. I am focused on, okay, on the word of God, what is the value of the word of God? How can I apply the word of God? So if there are additional resources that one can use, that will help them in their work. So maybe these resources can be publications similar to what we have here at AC. Nowadays we know we're moving more towards the digital platform, so we could have resources online. You can have a certain podcast, just talk about it. Explore various mediums and make the resources available. Encourage people not just to be equipped only by the ministry of the local church, but we can also be open for people to receive from what God is doing in the global body of Christ, because we know that there is always a move of God. God, if you look at Church history, the way he moves, the things that he brings focus to, there is something God is doing in the larger body of Christ. So we must encourage people not just to receive from the local church but also to keep their eyes open on what God is doing in the global body of Christ. Basically, promote a learning culture and in that way people will be equipped and they will be strong. The next system is the respiratory system. When we talk about the respiratory system, it's all about breathing, it's about life. If you compare that with what the Bible has to say, the work of the Spirit, that brings the freshness of the Holy Spirit into our lives. How can we maintain the freshness of the work of the Spirit in our congregations? How can we have the inspiration of the Holy Spirit? This can be done by allowing or making room for personal as well as corporate times of prayer, corporate times of worship. So we're letting the Spirit move, we're letting the Spirit work, we're letting the Spirit minister to us and God is able to impart new things into us. We've already talked about equipping people in the gifts of the Spirit but there can be opportunities for people to move in the gifts of the Spirit. We know that the manifestation of the gifts of the Spirit scriptures say it is for the benefit of all. So when the believers in the local body start to manifest the gifts of the Spirit, it's actually bringing the freshness of the work of God in our midst. I love the work of the Spirit in our midst. That is the respiratory system moving on. Nervous system. Nervous system. We are aware it's about picking up information. It's about relaying information, sensitivity, response. So just the way for the human body you touch something hot and immediately you have a response to that to protect yourself. So in the same manner for the local church there has to be a mechanism to find out what things are, the things that can damage or the things that can destroy what God is doing in the local body. We need to pick up on those things quickly and have a response to it. So what are some of those aspects? Maybe there is gossip going around in the... So how can you pick up on it quickly and then address the matter? We have to be sensitive. We have to address the matter. We also have to act quickly. So for this again we can have some processes in mind. And whenever something comes to our attention we must not leave it for tomorrow but we must deal with it quickly so that the rest of the body is not affected by something wrong that is happening. Endocrine system. Endocrine system it's more like it controls the body but in an invisible way. So you have all these hormones that are regulating our functions and they are just there. But what if they are not there? If they are not there, then we talk about certain that people present with maybe a diabetes or a thyroid issue because that hormone is not functioning it's not sufficient. So in the same way there need to be some reminders in the local body which we may not talk about from the pulpit directly often these things are part of the fiber of the local church. And when these things are repeated from time to time it just helps the body function normally it just helps the body function effectively. So that is about the endocrine system. So what are all these aspects? This would be like the vision of the church which can be repeated often then people will know what it is. We can talk about some of our core values. What are our core values? Yeah, these are all important subjects but it's there. It's always incorporated into the messages. Every Sunday a pastor may not preach on the vision but maybe the vision is part of the announcements and it happens every Sunday quickly you know the vision is stated. Now the vision can be a part of the brochures that you print. The vision can be a part of your website so everywhere people look they know hey this is the vision of our church. These are the values that we live by so it's there but maybe not as directly as from the pulpit preached again and again. So that is like your endocrine system where you have these essentials and they help you be effective. Then of course there is the excretory system the body is very careful to eliminate the unnecessary things from the system let it stay long then it can become toxic and dangerous in the same way. Coming to the local church we must ensure that we are eliminating unhealthy unhealthy culture, unhealthy practices so again the list would have things like gossip back biting, division having factions in the church strife, selfish interest self promotion whatever is like the work of the flesh we have to find a way to address it appropriately and deal with it quickly because if we don't deal with it it stays on and it becomes toxic so if it was affecting 2 people in the beginning it starts affecting 50 people if we let it continue so we have to filter these things out and in addition to the processes that we follow maybe we want to meet one on one all that we talked about in church discipline beyond that we can also ensure that we have times of prayer and repentance and genuine fellowship among the people which will strengthen strengthen the body which will help everyone see that hey we can't have the works of the flesh in our midst so the excretory system basically get rid of the unhealthy culture, unhealthy practices reproductive system so we need to have a system in place that will ensure increase increase and reproductive system it's like continuous multiplication and that's what we want in the context of the church going to all the world make disciples so we our heart is for many many people know the gospel many disciples to be prepared to give witness for the resurrection power of Christ so multiplication how can we multiply we need to think about this sometimes what happens churches can become that cozy unit we are very happy we are in our own salt shaker and everything is going good ok maybe we are living by God's principles and we are being the pillar of truth and we are being a voice to the nation and all however we have to think of others because great commission is the mission of the church we can never forget when we talk about the reproductive system it has to do with the great company so what is it that the local church can do to win more souls for the kingdom we may come up with certain you know outreaches in our locality we can come up with some outreaches on the internet we can come up with outreaches as part of our Sunday you know Sunday programs or we can encourage equip people on evangelism wherever they are going they are working they know how to share win souls for the kingdom so like this that's where the multiplication comes in and then also equip people on missions equip people about discipleship and so the entire church is involved you know in impacting the city and that makes a huge difference but what if that doesn't happen you know we kind of stagnate we stagnate in our own circle and that's not healthy that's not healthy and you know there is a course I think this will be in your next semester it's about the apostolic the apostolic church so more and more we see that god is raising up churches that sorry everyone there is some issue with my internet so I was saying that god is raising up churches that are planting more churches okay so that is also part of our multiplication we can be a very functional and an effective church but you know we are also looking at raising up new bodies of believers so that all of this has to do with the reproductive system of the church so it's a simple way basically for us to ensure that the local church open body is functional and healthy and the processes that one adopts as I already said it can be specific to your own context now here there is also an additional note about local church ministries and ministry teams for us to be organized and serve well we have to meet I mean we have to have all the system in place so that is one thing now there can be needs congregation and we must address those needs with the relevant ministries so based on the needs one can have a ministry for if there are a lot of young adults in the church then you definitely need a young adult ministry if there are children in the church then one definitely needs children's ministry if there are single parents in the church then maybe there is a need to address that area and strengthen those people so you might want to do something specific to that so one needs to come up with ministries or rather be led by the spirit to have the right ministries in a local body also have ministry teams now for each ministry to function we would need a leader maybe if there is a need for some full time paid staff then yes we would hire them in addition to that maybe some volunteers also are required so in this way we can set up the ministries and the work can go on here in this section there are some examples presented from the way at APC there are ministries and teams that are centered around ministry functions there are ministries and teams that are centered around felt needs ministries and teams that are centered around specific events ministry functions meaning let's say the prophetic so our teams which can engage the prophetic they know how to function in that they come together ministries that are based on felt needs let's say counseling so they can be a team of people who are specialized in counseling you know mental disorder something like that so they come together to be an answer to that problem then centered around specific events so this is like for example here we have conferences every year we have certain specific conferences women's conference so there are teams very specific to that conference every year we kind of come together just for that one event there are team members we work the conference is done that team is disband so in that way there can also be teams that are most specific events so just some examples we could apply it as relevant and there is a list actually mentioned from the apc teams so there is a list of teams that are centered around ministry functions it says worship team prayer and intercession team life group alpha group missions teams performing arts teams school outreach team we call it the catalyst college outreach team is called campus counseling just chrysalis counseling ministry and so on so these teams again they have people of different age groups some teams require a lot of training whereas some other teams you probably have those trained people come together and serve so yeah in this way people can serve then some ministries here at apc that are focused on felt needs children's ministry youth ministry young adults marriage enrichment men's ministry women's ministry so those are examples centered around specific events it can be your sunday service sunday service also is a huge event so sunday service specific different teams in a given sunday service there is a training team, hospitality team parking resource table different ones are listed here and as I said earlier your conferences youth camp, church camp so these are some of the teams and what is the good thing about these teams is they have the hard to serve they have the same common goal to achieve to have excellence to make sure that people are impacted and all that so every team will have its goal that they are aiming at and in these teams people tend to form relationships and when relationships happen whatever we discussed earlier the whole circulatory system so you nurture one another, you strengthen one another and thereby the church is also strengthened so basically we are talking about having these structures having some systems having some processes having some teams and this will enable us to be an effective local church all those aspects of the blueprint that we have seen the local church should be the army it should be the body it should be this and it should be all of that can be lived out in an organized way and we can achieve more so the last note here is about having room for spontaneity since we are talking about structure it's good to always throw in a note there and say hey we will organize in this way however if the spirit of god you know allows us to move slightly differently do things slightly in a different manner then we must not become very rigid and say that hey no this is the system this is the process and it's not going to change right so if you become rigid like that then we will become ineffective so have a structure have a system but don't become rigid always be open always be flexible for god to work I think this is a very practical subject that we have covered just now yeah so any thoughts on that I think it's quite straightforward in fact okay Charles says cells make tissues make an organ organs make systems and systems make an organism okay yeah that's right yeah so these systems will help make the local church better any additional thoughts okay let's think what if there are no systems there's a local church and we don't want systems how would that look thank you very much that's one thing I wanted to ask when there's no system no how do we how do we manage in the local church or how do we operate in the local church because one thing for me right now is that in my own church as in the one I'm in right now there's no system at all and it's so difficult to like regulate things everybody's just doing things the way they feel like doing it and to be crazy so in such situations how do you cope or how do you manage things and still serve God you know the way that pleases him not the way that pleases man thank you yeah thank you Harrison good question again you know depending on your capacity in church you can offer to help right and see if something can be put in place and just to add and when you don't have position of authority so you don't have any right to say anything or bring any change or do anything to bring that change so it becomes super difficult so how do you work with that yeah so maybe you could offer you know you could offer your ideas is what I would say Harrison like maybe put it down on paper write out like some guidelines some flow a process and propose it to your pastor or the ministry leader over there and say hey I just had these thoughts what do you think what I'm saying is we can do our part maybe see not everybody is great with these systems so we can offer help and who knows you know they might adopt that and they might like the way it works and that can spill over to other ministries and systems can come in place yeah just a suggestion because you're saying can I say something okay can I say something pastor thank you Charles just a moment Charles yeah okay yes you could please okay thank you yes Charles please go ahead when the church has no ministry rather when the church has no system as we looked around the respiratory system the nervous system the endocrine system all these systems make up the organ that's why I sent that part like cells make a tissue tissues make organs and when we get organs combined together we make a system and when we get systems combined together they make an organism now an organism is a complete entity it's something that has all the systems now when an organism is lacking a system it is malfunctioning it is not working well so now what happens when there is no system when something has no systems then that organism ceases to exist because it will be temporary so a church without systems will really really really be at the verge of collapse because at least there would be prayer and worship at least there would be maybe some processes of providing feedback directed to leadership at least one but it can't be that the church has no systems maybe these systems have not been streamlined or grouped as they have been grouped according to our course so a brother or a diggo even if you would not have a directed leadership role but the truth is those systems are there but they have not been nurtured they need to be nurtured and as Pastor Nasi was saying you over her it I thank you okay just to I want to chip in some things okay yeah I love the word and brother Charles yes you know the okay Harrison sorry to interrupt I think we are kind of out of time here so what I would say to those who need to leave the call please feel free to do so those who want to stay on you can stay on okay all right yes thank you please continue Harrison all right there is a system but it's not effective and now talking about her or putting up you know some ideas that I can bring you know the change or maybe make the system effective sincerely speaking I'm not just only the one you know bringing ideas there are many people there are so many people who have brought in ideas and there's one thing I also believe that okay even if you bring in ideas and the same old culture is there it will eat you know your strategy for lunch you know one thing I'm trying to say now is that when the culture of that system is not working we need to change first you know the culture before you introduce a new system so for me right now it's something that when it comes to helping I've been doing my own part you know because I'm a tech guy so I've used media you know to like you know building on some things you know for the church you know just to bring them some rules and regulations that can help the church to grow and sincerely it's really helping the church to grow but you know what you know you know what you know you're pursuing you know what you're trying to you know the change you know you're trying to bring in but when you have you know the same old culture playing in the in the news strategy then you don't see the effectiveness yeah yeah so Harrison I think you know you're on the right track so just do your best that's all I would say let's see yeah and thank you thank you so much for sharing also Charles thank you for sharing and quickly answer Abraham's question thank you he says please what is the first system that should be implemented you know we're so grateful God doesn't send us in bits and pieces right Abraham you don't just get the lungs only the lungs are not born the whole system is born so I think everything is important but if you ask me what is what could be the priority I would say respiratory system like if you can't breathe then you know you're not alive so you know so yeah I would just say that and okay thank you everyone I let you go you have another class so do I okay so have a blessed day and I hope to post your next assignment today so then you can also complete it in time and we can complete this course in time alright okay thank you everyone bye for now God bless thank you
