What they gonna do with me now? I'm still a twerk of the town, holding the sisters, I'm hooking them down. Reaching the smiles and the frowns, gang hop up. Y'all, it's sugar, Rihanna, Imani, and you're tuned in to another Talk of the Town interview, and who do we got in the building today? We got your girl, Lay Banks, in the building. Y'all know who it is. Yes, we got Lay, Philly is in the building. Thank you for coming. How you feeling? How you feeling? Honestly, I'm feeling so good right now. Like, I'm happy to be here. I love coming out of New York. So, you know, we survived Talk of the Town. Y'all know what it is. We already know what's up. So, you know, for the people that don't know, you don't know, YDK is going up right now. You body that. Thank you so much. It's a vlog. You made sure you put the little hips in there too.  Really, really like it. So, let's just do like a quick little ice breaker. So, give me your age, your favorite TV show, and a fun fact about you. Well, I'm 18. My favorite TV show right now is Umbrella Academy. It's so random, but like, I really love that show. And what was it? Are you caught up? I'm almost finished. And don't spoil it. Don't spoil it. Oh, no, no, no. Don't spoil it. I thought you were about to spoil it for me. Okay, okay, okay. I'm almost finished and I'm getting to the good part. But. All right, no spoiler alerts. And a fun fact about you. A fun fact about me. I love this thing. I sing all day. That is not a fun fact, girl. We already know that. I mean, okay, wait, I got a good one. I skateboard. Y'all know that. I know how to skateboard. You always know how to skateboard? I actually learned probably like two years ago, and I stuck to it because it's such a good exercise. Were you a Healy's girl? Yeah, I was a Healy's girl. I was a Healy's girl, too. I feel like that was like the starter pack. It was. You wasn't a cool girl if you didn't have Healy's. That's period. That's period. All right. So let's get into early life. Let us know like how was growing up. Did you, did you grow up in Philly? I did grow up in Philly. Okay. And how was that? Who was that like? Growing up in Philly was rough, but you know, most cities in the tri-state is kind of rough, but I love my city and I love where I'm from. It's the city of brotherly love, you know what I'm saying? But I couldn't say that I would want to be from anywhere else because I love being from Philly, but truthfully, Philly is a rough city and you know, you're pretty, but come from the rough side. Okay. So do you see yourself moving out of Philly at some point? I do see myself moving out of Philly. I want to move like A$AP actually. A$AP you say? A$AP. Really? Where would you go? I'm trying to go like, I'm trying to be in Cali. Like I'm a Cali girl. Cali, really? So you will go across the country. What is it about Cali that you like?  Like the creative space just feels so good and I feel like I create better when I'm out there. You know what I'm saying? So when you were out there, that's when you decided that you wanted to go to Cali? Yeah, like, and I've been to Cali a couple of times and the other times I went, I never really thought I wanted to live there. And so this most recent time I'm like, shit, this is where I'm supposed to be. See, I feel like I feel that way every time I go somewhere, I'll be like, I can see myself moving here, but that's dope. And I think that Cali is a good space, especially when you're in a creative space, like you said, for you to like grow and build upon your career. That's dope. So what's your family life like? My family life is really good. I got real close-knit relationships with my mom, my dad, my brothers and my sisters. I got a lot of brothers and sisters, so I got eight siblings. All on my dad's side, it's a lot of us. It's none of us in total, but we all stay close and we all stay tight. Okay, are you the youngest oldest? I'm actually death smack in the middle. Like it's four above me and four under me. Oh, that's dope. So I'm the fifth child, yeah. Okay, I'm the oldest. I don't really know what it's like being the middle child, but I can imagine that's like interesting. So they all support you, they all... They all do, all my siblings really support me. Okay, that's lit. And I know that you're Eritrean, which is interesting because, you know, I feel like we don't really have a lot of Eritrean representation out there. I know that there's like, I think Ruby Rose is Eritrean. Ruby Rose, the weekend is also Eritrean too. And I know Nipsey was too. So there is some representation. Are you in tune with your culture? I'm very in tune with my culture all the way, yeah. So like what are some things that like is unique to your culture that you feel like you still... I think some things that are unique is probably the dance moves. I wanted to bring something back to light.  And I really wanted to bring that back to TikTok because I feel like people don't know that much about area culture, but also the food too, like the food is so good. You gotta have in Jada at least one time in your life. If you haven't, you haven't lived. And that's just the truth. Okay, okay.  Like what was it that like solidified your spot? Well, I've been making music for three years. And I guess the ice breaker for me was my song, Come On.   Like after that went crazy, like everybody just was on my top about it. Just was like, yo, like you going hard right now. And then I dropped Boyfriend number two. And that was my first M by myself. And after that, I just been going up. And you know what was interesting about Come On? I think that, I don't know how many people were tapped into your music where you actually singing, but I know that when that song dropped, a lot of people were surprised about your voice. They weren't. That was like a big thing in that like, like everybody was talking about that, but it was, it was interesting to me cause it's like there are so many singing songs where your voice sounds melodic. And I just heard you with a stoop ball here singing. So it's like, no, my sister's got some songs. But you know, it's crazy cause I'm very versatile. It's just that people don't know that of a side of me. Like, and I got other records coming to y'all.  Speaking of other records coming, I have to ask you, I know you and PNB have a song that's been in the works since like last year or something like that. I know it's called Ticket. And I haven't seen it. I saw a clip on Instagram, I think it was, but like that was it. What's going on with that? Me and PNB going talk, like that's my guy. You know, he author, he all vibes.  So you plan on dropping a song and a video at the same time? Yeah, song and video at the same time. So what's the thought or the reasoning like behind that? Not specifically for that song, but like do you think that it helps push a song when you drop it at the same time as video? Honestly, I feel like it just gives a good visualization and help people see where you at with it. And it just makes people understand the song better when you drop a video with it. Okay. I think it just is better. So, you know, of course we know that you be around like the Philly Golds and all of them a lot. How did that collaboration start? How did y'all link up? How did y'all meet? Well, I used to be friends with somebody and they introduced me into the Philly Golds. And then we started just dancing with each other in the same creator house. We started making TikToks and stuff. And that's just pretty much how it happened. We all just linked up. I met somebody first and somebody told somebody and you know what I'm saying? Just happened like that. And then we started seeing each other at each other's shows and it was like a worry bet. Well, let's link up and let's do this together. That's just how it happened. And you saying somebody, is this like somebody who's no longer in the picture? Is this like a, you know, don't face no case? Like, you know what I'm saying? No, it's just somebody told somebody about somebody. I'm saying, I'm picking up what you're putting down. We won't get into that too much. So walk me through like the whole blicking thing. Like how did that start? How did y'all start doing that? Blicking, it started, okay.    I'm dancing, but it started right here. Do you bring it right here? Why do you gotta bring it up here? And then you bring it to the hips. And then when it got to the hips, I feel like the hips really like is what everybody loved the most.  It's two different dances. Right, so do you, okay. So there's what I think about you, Blicked. I think about this video where I saw it was like you were eating like the perc candy and you was dancing at the same time.   But I was like, dude, doesn't it tie her? Like did they tell you like, all right, you gon' take a bite and then you gon' start like. See, but this the thing though, like when I do promos and stuff like that, like people gotta understand that this is my job. I'm a creator, like I make music. I dance all day. That's what I do. That's my picture.  I'm about to blick.  I'm about to blick for you. Like I'm not about to sit here and talk to him.  Shot down. I mean, it's a part of your brand at this point. No, for sure. And that's what it is. So do people like come up to you asking you to do it? Is it something that's expected of you? Like. I ain't going to lie. I do be getting a couple of supporters that come to me like, like, can you blick for me? And I'd be like, bro, I'm not blicking in person. Like, catch me, okay? Why me? That's what my TikTok is for. But no, I gotta be in a certain type of mood. Like sometimes you could catch me and I'll blick for you real quick. But like it depends on how I'm feeling. I feel like you need to put out a little tutorial or something like that. No, I really will.  And I feel like people should just know how to do it. I really will. You got the hit? I do not.  Don't lie a lot to you either. I do not. You know, I can do a little one too. But if you're looking a little crazy. So- It's okay, we gon' get you right. Okay, and I'll hold you to that. So stay tuned y'all. So who would you say is the sturdiest? Without you saying it yourself, who would you say is the sturdiest? Who would I say is the sturdiest without saying myself?  Okay, okay.   You know what? It's the facials for me. Because they got real serious. They got real serious real quick. So overall though, how has it been like, getting, being out there, getting all the attention that you've been getting from people like, how does that feel to you? It feels good. Like I guess it's everything I ever prayed for. So, you know, seeing my supporters in person and seeing the effect that I got on these different kids and these different people. I love it. I love interacting with the kids and I love my supporters, all of them.   But you know, I'm still, I still be starstruck by my supporters. Like I'd be starstruck by them.  And they'd be starstruck by me. But you know, it's a blessing.  It's something I always saw for myself.  Like praying that God would deliver me peace and that I would find my way to my dream because this is all I ever wanted my whole life. You know what I'm saying? So you've been singing your whole life? I've been singing since I was three years old. Wow. Oh, before you could really put words together. Before I could really put words in my, the first song I ever sung was to the left by Beyoncé. Oh, that's so cute. Yes. So are you a Beyoncé fan? Die Hard. I love Beyoncé. How did you feel about Renaissance? I loved it. I loved it too. Like alien, alien superstar, she body that. And plastic ball to show for us. She really did. That's so good. There was another one. It was the transition from energy into break my soul. She body that. I don't know what you're talking about, but I feel like I got to hear it. Listen again, cause she really body that. Like I will play that. Or maybe it was cuff it into energy into break my soul. I like cuff it. I think that's what it was. But Beyoncé and you did your thing. And Church Girl, Church Girl nice to you. Church Girl don't hurt nobody. Yes, okay.  I'm tempted, like my girl B Carrie. She really, really did. So who else were you listening to, like when you were going up? A lot of Michael Jackson, Aliyah, Bruno Mars.  So like I listened to a lot of Destiny's Child. Yes, yes. Just stuff like that. Like, or Seven Campbell. But you know about that, can we talk? Can we talk for a minute? Boy, I want to know your name. Can we talk for a minute? It's the acapella for me. That too. I love it. I love it. So do you feel like now with like social media and like you can like even with that clip, you could post that right now and it could get lit. Like do you feel like artists have it a little easier now with the help of social media? Like putting themselves out there?  Like it's not just about posting.  But some people do have it that easy to whereas though you just post and it just do what it do. And I wouldn't even say that that's me because I still be working hard. I still be out here like with the culture and still be doing my shows and stuff like that. So it's still a grind in hustle. And I'm happy that you say that cause my next question is like what have you done to like keep putting yourself out there? Like what kind of things have you done? I've done a lot of traveling, a lot of interviews, some promotional shows and just engaging with different artists and producers and locking it with new people in different cities to try to market myself in different ways. And you also have some co-signs cause I remember seeing Gilly Decade posted you. And that was like a song he posted. And I was happy that he posted like a monotic. I think it was like fly, he posted and that was good cause people in the comments were jacking you heavy. So that also helps like when you get co-signs from people. Did that help you at all? No, definitely. Shout out to Gilly too. Like he was one of the first people to ever throw me up. Shout out to Tiz, two on five too. They both threw me up. And like ever since then I was popping in a Philly area. And then when Gilly threw me up it really got me lit like in a tri-state. Like he was throwing me like, oh snaps, like who this? And like, and then from there I just kept staying on the ground posting and just doing freestyles and stuff. So who else if anybody like have you gotten co-signs from or even like recognition from that has like surprised you? I've gotten recognized by Ruby Rose. Y'all know PNB. Who else? Or like let's say like who would you want to like? Who would I want to work with? Get into it, yeah. Definitely Lil Baby, Coyla Ray and Queen Naja. They my top three. Okay, you got the list ready. They my top three right now. Okay. I need them. I could definitely see you and Coyla. Actually, I could really see all of them. Right? Like I could see all of them. We all just met each other but especially my girl Coyla. Love her, yeah. And that's why she was the first name that stuck out to me. I could definitely see you and Coyla on the track together. But I do notice, I did notice rather that you don't really have that many features. Is that like for a reason, is it? I mean honestly starting up and coming up as like an independent lady artist I feel as though I didn't want my brand to be a bunch of features. I wanted it to be like, oh, they banks built this from the ground up and my team and me worked really hard and I want people to understand that this is all organic, this is not from no feature. You know what I'm saying? This is not from somebody giving me a handout cause that's not what I want. Right, I appreciate that. You coming up and then you know you have time for the features once people know who Lay Banks really is. So speaking of who Lay Banks really is and because you have a song called You Don't Know I wanna play a little game with you so that we can get to know you a little bit more. Okay. All right, so I'm gonna ask you about 10 questions and just answer as quickly as possible, okay? Gotcha. All right, what's your sign? A gemini. Describe yourself in three words. Erratic, awesome, singer. What's your go-to dance move? The hips. What was your first CD? Dur-a-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Not Dora, what you had a Dora sound track? Yes, I really did. I really did. Like I had the Dora sound track. I really did. That's mad funny. Okay, what's the hairstyle that you never get again? Ha, hairstyle I never get again. Oh my God, a high pointy style. Them joints hurt. Like all of it up in a pointy style like with the weave. I'm looking at the half up, half down you got now and it looks good. Like, you said it hurts. Because like the back is still relieved, but like having all of it up. And all of them bobby pins in your hair. Yeah, it is a lot. OK, celebrity crush. Celebrity crush? Honestly, I don't got one, I think of myself. OK, you playing a role safe with that one. First initial of your first love? First initial of my first love? I. What's the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you? Oh my god. I slipped and fell on a sub, like the train. I slipped and fell on a train. And everybody looked at me and laughed. And I was so embarrassed. And the guy behind me was trying not to laugh. And he reached his hand out for me. Wait, it's the fact that everybody laughed. Because that's how you know that that didn't happen in New York. Because I feel like if that happens in New York, you fall on a train like, you might be like. No, I'm laughing. But like we don't really be like laughing. No, they like, they chuckled. Like people looked at me and was like. And I'm just like, oh my god. Yo, that was the most embarrassing day ever. Where was that? That was in Philly. Wait, wait. That was recent? That was like two years ago. Oh no, that was recent. That was two years ago. Oh god. All right. What's a fictional character that you would want to be besties with in real life? Princess Tiana, like she just. Oh yeah, that's a good one. She's so good. So cute. What's your strangest talent? And don't say skateboarding, because we know about that one already. Strangest talent? What's the strangest talent I got? Oh, I could play the violin. Oh, that's nice. OK, what's something that you pretend to hate but actually love? I don't have one of them.  You really hate it? Yeah, like I ain't.  But like I act like I like going outside because like I got to do it from my job. So you like going outside. I like going outside. OK, for real. From time to time. From time to time. It depends on how I'm feeling. OK, OK, that's fair. If there was a movie about your life, what would it be called?   Really? You feel like life can't met you fast? My life had been so quickly. Like I feel like everything in my life be felt like a real movie. Like this a real life movie. That's really how it would be. OK, OK. And if you could create a holiday, what holiday would it be? Bank's Day. And on that day. So yeah, I can't check at the bank. You got to cash a check at the bank. Somebody got to give you a check. Somebody you know has to give you a check and you got to cash it at the bank. And it has to be at least $1,000. Oh, period. How am I on Bank's Day? I like to sound like what you sound like. OK, OK, cool. So let's get into like you performing. So I know you performed at Met Philly. And that crowd was packed. Crazy. And they was finishing your lyrics. Like it really, really looked lit. That was like crazy. How was that experience for you? Like seeing all of those people supporting you and popping out? I wouldn't even lie to you. It felt like a dream. Like at that time, I was taking a break from social media because it could be a lot. And I really didn't expect myself to be ready for the show how I was ready. But when I got on the stage, my supporters just lit up. And I'm like, yo, I love this crowd.  I was so irritated. I'm like, you know what?  And they had you. I sung acapella and I started singing. I'm like, what's the lyrics? Y'all finish it? Oh, they had you. They finished everything. They was on it. Like, but it was so lit. I love that. So what? So you said that you really weren't feeling it. Like you had just came off of like a social media hiatus. So what kind of things were you doing to get yourself like an already mindset to get up there on stage? Meditating, praying a lot. I talked to God. So definitely listening to like calming music and just talking to myself, trying to prepare myself mentally, make sure that I'm right up here. Because if you're not right mentally, don't do nothing. That's just how I got to be. And especially like I'm really, I'm really a strong believer of like if you're not right within yourself, it's going to transfer into everything you do. So you won't be able to fully apply yourself if you're not applying yourself to yourself. I completely agree. So how do you, I know you said God praying, meditation. How do you make sure that your mental is at its best? Or I mean, how do you do that? Because it's only but so much that you can that's within your control. But like how do you do that?  I write a lot. Like besides writing songs, I write to just talk to myself. Whenever I'm feeling something, I just put it in my book. And after I'm done, I go to sleep. Because I feel like releasing all of that outside rather than talking to somebody and then somebody going to run a mouth about your business is better to just let it out on a paper, wake up in the morning with a fresh mind and let it go. Because a new day, every day is a chance. And that's what I look at it like. I like that. You seem very positive and spiritual, mindful. I really, really like that. That's really dope.  So it's really nice to see what caused that change. What inspired you to start tapping in? Honestly, I was always feminine within me. If you know me, then you know I was always a little like. But my friends coming around, I was always super tomboyish, but I love being girly. I just like being pretty in the face.   Yes, the shortcut was given. Yes, it surely was.  But what made me specifically think of that was I can't even think about what the name of the song was.  Yeah, you saw my personal. And I was like, wow, the change from like the look there. Because you know they're two different people, like they're two different personas. So what are the two personas? You got this one and then you got the other one. And I don't even know what the other one is. Because it was given Beyonce and Sasha Fierce. Right, Sasha Fierce, Beyonce, you know what I'm saying? Okay, so you have two different personas. So is there a difference when it comes to the music too with those two personas or is it just the look? I think it's just the look really. The music stay the same because deep within myself I'm still who I am and that's never gonna change. Right, and now with tapping into your femininity, I noticed that, well, you're natural right now but I noticed that you had makeup on like a few days ago and I really didn't like what the girls was doing in the comments because they was doing a lot. Yeah, they do too much. And I feel like as you're coming up, especially being 18, this is still an impressionable age where it's like comments sometimes can make or break you depending on what kind of person you are. So how is it, like, do you read comments for one? I read comments, I think everybody do. I don't know if everybody does. I don't know if everybody can handle it. I read comments, I can handle it.  But that's about having tough skin.  And even beyond having tough skin, I think it also has to do with having that confidence. Cause when you know you that bitch, there's nothing that anybody could say otherwise.   Like me without makeup, please, come on. Y'all bitches could never. It's given. Y'all stand for yourselves.  So let's talk about like your dating life.  What's the dating life looking like for laybanks? Laybanks is single. So, you know. Laybanks is single. Okay. Single, ready to mingle. Single, you just focusing on the music. What does that look like? I mean, I'm single focusing on the music for real. I'm just trying to stick to myself. I'm focused on what I gotta do. Okay. Date a person from time to time. Okay. Date a person. So like, what kind of people do you date? Um... When you're looking out there to date somebody, like what's your date? If I'm looking to date, I'm looking for somebody that got their head on their shoulders. Somebody that's not about to waste my time cause I'm in a point in period of time in my life where I got things to do. And I don't know if y'all know that song where Drake be like, I cannot convince you that I love you for a living. Like I can't convince nobody that I love him for a living cause I got too much to do. So, I just, that's just how I feel. Dating is like, it's dating, but it's not no necessity for me. So, I mean, I have to ask you because last time D-30 was here, he came with a couple of the Philly goats.  And when I tell you we're in a whole room, we're silent. I just didn't know how to navigate in that situation. I said, when I speak to lay myself, I'm gonna ask her. So, what's going on with you and Brill? What's the tea? We not a thing. Not a thing anymore? Not a thing period, I'm cool though. Now lay. We not a thing. I'm not pressing that, cause you said what you said. But I know, you know, like why everybody's curious because y'all got videos together.  Y'all did the truth or drink when y'all revealed. Okay, well, honestly, me and Brill dealt with each other. But, you know, things happened is what it is. So, but y'all still cool. We cool. So how is that?  No, I feel that. But is that like one of those things where it's like, you know, people like to see y'all together. So it's more like, right? Or is it like y'all just not even business? Cause we just, we used to deal with each other. So it's not even about business no more. Like it was a point in time where it was a rumor going around this for entertainment and yada, yada, yada, just at a third. But that's where it's at and we gonna leave it. Okay. Yeah. Okay, cool. So how do you feel about like seeing the edit pages on TikTok and this is not even specifically about him. We said we was gonna leave it where it's at. So don't think I'm going back to him. But you know, like, I feel like people on TikTok specifically they'll take like any little moment from a live, they'll take anything from a YouTube. I mean, Instagram and they'll like try to put it together. Is that weird to you? I don't think it's weird because, you know, me and bro both have supporters and then I got supporters and I feel like the Philly girls got supporters. So if they post us, then they post us. It is what it is. Do you feel like, how does it make you feel to know that like everything you post is being watched though? Cause I feel like you could slip up and pick your nose in a live and now it's on an edit page. But you know, me being the person I am, I'm super blunt. Like I don't care to pick my nose. Like that's not, that's a regular thing. I mean, yeah. I'm not kidding. I'm just saying one good example. Like, you know, I know what you mean. Like I just be feeling cautious. Like I got to watch what I say at all times. Like I can't say nothing bad cause y'all going to screen record me and start talking crazy. So do you feel like speaking on a topic of talking bad cause we were talking about earlier, like TikTok, taking everything down, you know, you close to your mill. We don't want your page to go anywhere. Are you cautious about the things that you post on social media as well? I'm very cautious. You got to be cause TikTok be quick to being you. So like, what do you decide to post on TikTok versus what you keep in the drafts? Cause I know we all got a whole bunch of drafts. I know you probably got a whole bunch of drafts. I just be being in the drafts. Like sometimes I'll record a TikTok talking to myself and I'll be like, this is not getting posted. Like this is not going up. But the dancing stuff, like sometimes I'll post dancing TikToks. Sometimes I'll post talking TikToks. Like it depends on how I'm feeling honestly. Like if I think the video cute or funny, I'm a posted if not it's just going to stay in the drafts. And so since you started like getting more attention, has anybody from like, I mean you 18, but like anybody that you fell off with, not even dating wise, but like friends, anybody try to like come back into the picture.  And how does that like, are you open to that? Like how does that? No, you can stay over there. I'm a cool love. Anybody that wasn't in my life before I had this, whatever I got going on, you could stay right where you at. But you want to know something like, cause I'm quick to call somebody out on what they post. You posted something that was like, I don't, I don't go to, I don't get new people. Like I spend back to my old ones. You said something like that. Hold on, yes you did. Cause I feel like I wrote it down somewhere. I don't get new vibes. I'll go back to my old ones is what you said. See, but by new vibes, by new vibes. No, by new vibes. I mean, I personally, I'm so at peace that like I feel like it's offensive to me to let any of my own neighbors get access to me. I tweeted that in a point of my life where I wanted to spend the block. Like I'm not trying to spend the block for nobody right now. Like I'm in a peace, in a peaceful place. I'm getting money. Like I just, I don't need none of that extra.   Like for a reason, but now you try to clean it up just because like you see that I'm up now.  Everybody could be an opportunist. So you really can't put that past anybody. No, for sure. But thanks for clearing that up sis. I had to. So let me know what's going on. Are you signed? Like what's the situation there? I got a deal on the table. You got a deal on the table. Okay, so a deal was on the table, but I know at one point you were the first lady of a situation. So I don't know if you want to get into details, but what happened with that? Honestly, no bad blood with them. The deal just wasn't going how I wanted it to go. And you know, sometimes when things aren't working out how you need them to for your career, you gotta let them go. So I had to let it go. So what were some things that you've learned? I mean, building off of that situation, but like about the industry in general that you are now like taking with you when it comes to making these business moves and decisions? Honestly, you gotta think about everything. Like you gotta be smart about every move, every step you take gotta be strategy.  Because like in this industry, it's like you say the wrong thing. You move the wrong way. You spend the wrong money. Like anything go wrong. And you just gotta think about every move that you take. And that's really the main thing that I feel like I learned.  That goes for anybody out there watching. Not anybody is your friend. Like even outside of the music industry, if you a random person, not even if you're just an artist, like these people do not be your friends. Stay away from them. And sometimes it'd be the ones you least expect to. Exactly. Okay, so let me know like or let us know rather, like what's your team like? So you have the deal on the table now, but I know you're moving with a team. At least I think. So what's your team looking like for what it is right now? I got my manager, Kenny Blake. And I'm working with a JV, with Y'all Lil Beats and 88 Beats. Y'all Lil Beats, how are we? And that's my team backing me right now. We a strong team. We pretty tight. We stay cool. Everything be moving sturdy, so you know. That's dope. Is there anything else outside of like the music and the dancing that you can see yourself doing? Acting. I really want to get into the acting world. I want to get into the cosmetic world. Like I want to sell makeup and clothes and stuff like that lip gloss, definitely. I'm surprised that you didn't say something like hair. Like not the makeup and clothes is a bad thing for like hair because you always switching up your hair style. I know, I really am. Like that's the thing. I actually want to sell oil. Like hair oil, hair growth oil, because my hair, it grows a lot and everybody always be asking me what I put in it. But it's just like a natural oil. My mom make me, I was thinking like, damn, what if I sell this? Cause I think y'all would like it.  Anybody is selling anything these days.  So I think that's something like that. I mean, we see it. You have your natural hair all the time that naturally makes sense. So if you were to get into the acting space though, like what kind of stuff would you want to do? Is this like movies, TV shows? I would do both. Okay. Honestly, both. I would love to do movies, but I feel like a TV show, like I would do a reality TV show. That was going to be my next question. Would you do a reality show? You would? What kind of reality show would you do? You know what's crazy? I was talking to somebody this morning about like reality TV and they asked me would I ever go on bad girls club?  I was like, okay. So you want a baddie? So? Yes, I do. Okay. Love my girl, Christiana. I just started it. Oh, you just start over. You got a whole lot to buy. Yes, definitely love my girl, Shawn down. So you wouldn't do baddies, but what kind of reality show? Like if you had to compare it to something. I would do my own. Like Kim, what is it? The Kardashians? Okay. So just about your life. Okay. Interesting. Would you do like a for the level A type of thing? For the level A. What's that? Like a dating show. I'm not. No. Okay. Only cause like I just. I just feel like dating online is just not it. Like, mm. That's why you would do it in person on a show. I'm cool about that. You're not jacking it. No, I mean, I wouldn't do it either. I just wanted to see what you was going to say. So what can we look forward to like coming from you? Like, what do you have in the works? Well, I got two music videos about to come out. And then I got another song after that coming out. And then I have a project coming out. Okay. That girl working. So that's all for this year? Yes. This is all this year. This is all coming. All of it. Oh, nice. So is there anything else that you want the people to look out for anything else that you want to say before we wrap it up? Honestly, tap into you on Olay Binks. Tap into Boyfriend number two. If you haven't already, keep tapping it with me. Follow me on Instagram at Lay Binks. Follow me on TikTok at the Lay Binks. And I love y'all. I appreciate all of y'all for watching this. Shout out to Talk of the Town for having me. Thank you. I'm coming again. See y'all.


Yeah, all right, so sorry about that the recordings can be started from here Yeah, that's unfortunate So sorry about that anyway, let me go through the risk disclosure really quickly once again And we'll keep an eye on current price as well Okay, actually no I can't I got to make it bigger here All right, so sorry about that guys, but I do need to cover this again for the recording General disclosure all book map limited materials information and Presentations are for educational purposes only and should not be considered specific investment advice nor recommendations Risk disclosure trading futures equities and digital currencies involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. All right So let's take a look here Okay, so structurally here we see buyers trying to take it here, right? All right, looks like they're gonna go for it for this 30 and maybe up a little bit higher here So looking for we're at 4500. I'm looking for them to break it back up into 05 And maybe we can get to 10 and maybe even 15 here All right, there's gonna be a lot of sellers in here that can get up-ended if we get a lot of powerful buying in here Right. We're looking for that scenario here Okay, so let's look at the strength here And we know we're sell side still like, you know sellers took control here and they took control here Okay, we're seeing some some nice buying though starting to come in here So they're gonna attack this area here Okay, if you guys want to look for it like a move above this little swing here makes pretty good sense That's your low volume node and look for a test into that area Okay, this guy got off of another 30. He's still in the market here Though he traded 60 the foreign parentheses here means the number of number of Transactions okay, and then the slash right here. This means the number of icebergs at that area So there's two iceberg orders there Okay See see right here So if you guys see some of these things in in what these mean here the two 79 and then two Traded but then we have another one in here as well now we zoom in we can see there's another one for 38 Okay, understood You should answer a lot of questions we're seeing it in the live market here Right now and we we zoom vertically and then it aggregated vertically and it shows it and displays it like this Okay guys, so here's our move. Let's see it. Let's see it buyers Let's see if you can get back up a little bit higher here. We're still trending higher in here I see a nice big cluster of selling in here So, you know, we're getting kind of conflicted signals in here We're still trending higher structurally, but look at all of this selling here, right?  We're not getting any clear kind of direction here And the the market is just it's volatile and there's all sorts of trading and bashing around going on in here Right, we look for when when, you know, there's more kind of clear direction And traders are really poised to take it a certain certain direction And and we're looking for that edge Right right now the edge would be like well, we're still trending higher However, was let's take a look at all of that selling in here and the scenario is this If we come back down and revisit this area And and we see more sellers we see exhaustion on the buy side here and more sellers in here Watch them push it. They'll push it down to here and test where these guys initiated the buying here We look for liquidity. So the liquidity is actually starting to match up It would be here at this 96 and a quarter So looking to see these sellers try to reach this area here Right, we just we're covering it, you know, nicely here in real time So let's see it sellers. You've got these other buyers on the hook here Now you can trade it back down and try to get them stopped out And then we'll see if buyers support it down here. Look at the order book, you know It's it's demonstrating it beautifully in real time here. They're supporting it here. They they're lining up to buy here okay, so This is more like a pullback for them But look at the selling coming in here. So this is where the battle starts to erupt You know, we have buying in here moving that higher We got a lot of selling that came in here and we see a lot of selling coming in here too Okay, and we go we got to go through another scenario in here. What if We get buyers back up above here and look at the support in the book, right If we get buying interest up here, we should we should see a squeeze up to this o7 area Okay, and we got the book on our side here Okay, now still Even even though we got the book on our side. Look what's happening here This is it's this is kind of kind of treacherous like a Larger player just came in able able to skew the order book here did not trade anything Uh, and then actually here he actually did get filled And and we still see there's buying pressure in here Watch them try to push it now and and get this guy upended here Okay, and we should see this guy. It's like how much pain can he handle? Where is he gonna? Where is he gonna get out probably up here? Okay, let's see if this guy I'm looking for a stop run above here if we get enough buying pressure And it's going to be this guy here There we go. There's our stop run. Okay, so now do we reject Did this guy exit now and and we don't find any more buyers here is the objective done Do we find sellers rotate back in at this point? I'd be looking for that scenario Okay, looking for sellers here looking for order book skew and then come right back down into Uh 4500 here. In fact, this is one of the clearest things we've seen so far This was pretty clear You know, I think it's like here's this this seller Skewing the order book probably trying to get price to come back down. Oops. He got filled Right well, maybe he wanted to get filled. Um, I don't know whatever the case may be But look at the squeeze they put on them buyers came rocketing right back in Uh and and moved away very very quickly from that area Okay, uh, here's another here's our here's our stop run. Okay, the 127 stops just triggered Okay, I'm looking for sellers now to try to trade it back down into the range. We're up at our kind of low volume node up here Okay, right in here Okay, all right.  So let's watch Looking for a move back in here and sellers to come in right here right now down to o2 liquidity back down to 4500 also Okay, the scenario that's the scenario here to look for Okay, let's let's see if we get our sellers here. Here they come Nothing on the order book really there are pulling on the bid though Let's see you're going to get a skew in here on the uh on the offer looking for it and then we're there we go Now we're going to get our move Let's see some more sellers come in and try to reach back down to 4500 Okay, here's another little stop run to 64 About half of this one Come on sellers. Just push it 4500. There we go Okay Done target target achieve there Okay This is uh guys really like uh, this is something I think you'll find um, very very helpful Uh To see a stop run And then you know, we're looking for we were even looking for in this scenario here The the sellers to come back down below it here. We got one more push Get new people involved in the breakout here We don't see a stop run at this point the stop run happened here We don't see a stop run up here. This is new Basically new buying coming in And this is where that new buying is um, they're selling Hey now I I'm I'm like I don't want to um Uh, say that that's like 100 uh, you know, I'm I'm I'm speculating on that There's no question. I'm speculating on that Uh, but uh, we do know that this is a stop run and we do know that this is new buying that's for sure That that's fact Right because we don't see a stop run up here. I mean just a little little one up here Okay, this is new buying in here. We know that Right, so then we go through the scenario Of if this is new buying if we can get down below here and get selling starting to come in Well, then we can reach the other side of the range and and look for And anticipate a stop run on the other side of the range And that's what unfolded here in that scenario So we don't know uh, that uh, you know, these guys here are the same as down here. We don't know that Okay, but we it this it's going through the scenario here Uh of understanding the order flowing here Right, basically they're on the hook Okay, when we we covered this the other day um You know and this is more advanced stuff, especially in this environment um the uh When we covered this the other day, we're looking at like a move lower and and uh, and we started to note where that volume was Transacting here. Here's our move guys outside of the range here looking for 90 here It's pretty strong selling. So i'm looking for them to now really really move it here Uh looking for the sellers to try to move it shoot, sorry Okay, nice nice strong move from the get go here Okay, here's our low volume pullback Looking for sellers to retest it back down to 95 And we're not going to get it. It's going to be a false breakdown See the buy see the bind. This is that scenario we just covered the second scenario is is the uh, the bind back up above this area Now we're looking for oh three It's you in the order book back to move to oh three here. This is where it gets really really tricky Right, but look at the volume here. This is exactly what i'm talking about here And here see how they're upended. It's how the sellers are upended Okay, and then here's the move back up to oh three now. Let's see We've got an iceberg a couple icebergs in here three different icebergs All right, let's go let's go through. Um Some of the questions here Okay, dove. Thanks for the profile. Yep and Looks like mean reversion Yeah, I mean, I think we're gonna probably trend. Um Uh At some point here So, uh, I'm not sure exactly when that's gonna unfold But we're looking for it in here and we're looking for big traps Like this this breakdown is kind of a trap as well This is see see the trap here like uh sellers and then buyers back up above it Just like this one here Sellers buyers back up above it squeeze Okay buyers up here sellers below it looking for it Let's see it And then let's see it move back down to 4500. Okay stop run as well. That's good. We want to see a stop run We want to see it exhaust out Basically meaning is it's not new new positions here. They're they're They're exiting Okay, let's see if we get our sellers now below it here down here Down here sellers and move they move it down to like uh 4500 See these guys pull here at o2 And they see the move back down to 4500 Buyers still fighting it here and supporting it at o2 Now they're supporting it here This one's tricky Uh, thanks. Thank you. Yash Uh, you got those volume strips in there. Excellent. Excellent. Yeah, that's the same video. That's what I found as well Years ago. It was on the cme website Yeah, 2011 exactly He's you know, he's the father here of uh of volume auction market theory volume profile Um market profile. That's the the godfather uh Marcus, let's see um Does a stop run basically mean uh a run up to fill um No, it means it well, so Yeah, it means like there's When we get into a position when you know smaller players Like us usually get into position. We're using a stop loss order Uh, larger players aren't really using those.  I mean you can see also when they you know dump and get it wrong but uh The um Yeah, actually guys, here's that same same scenario here. Did we get enough? We had the stop run here We go higher here And now we're we're going to look and see if we get um the sellers in here now to try to get Back down below a back into the range here So looking for 01 And 4500 here Now it wasn't much of the stop run. This one was way better here. This this scenario is way better You know it got them on the hook so um So basically let's suppose that Uh, you you sold you're looking for the move down and we were looking for the move down They were starting to move it away They got upended here Right, and then the squeeze happened here. So anyone who sold down here Is um Like now their position once you sell your position is now you are a buyer Okay, that's what you need to do In order to exit the market and where where can you find buyers? Well, if you can find where people are in pain Um, and they're gonna be compelled to be buyers Right and that's where we look for a stop run. We're looking for stop transactions So we got one up here 51. We went a little bit higher here Maybe it's not enough. Maybe we there's still maybe stops up here. Maybe it's above 10 So, you know, maybe it's just not quite enough here. Um, and uh For to to kind of get um sellers to come engage and try to move this lower here To try to reach other stops on the other side Marcus says answer your question Is the plus 23 46 iceberg indicator, um bullish, uh, yes, this is plus here So if I zoom out, uh, this is giving me the overall reading here So, uh, since I opened my book map, this is my overall reading So we have negative icebergs in here, but we have positive icebergs here overall. It's it's positive, uh 2700 Yeah, you're welcome Marcus Guys bigger picture. We're just in this big range big kind of Nothing, uh, nothing really decisive yet Just bashing back and forth Yep, you know, you're welcome All right, here's a skew in the order book here. Let's see the reaction here Look at that. Look at these sellers coming in here We should our sell limit sell orders above here Look at the skew in the order book. You can even see it clearly in the heat map. You can see it clearly, uh In the cob column here as well So now looking for sellers to try to move it. Let's see if the reaction Is the reaction to this selling liquidity in here? Um More sellers does it repel buyers? Okay, so far so so good. Now look at we have an iceberg in here Transacting on the bid and moving it lower and still transacting any fully executed for 233 Okay, here we go back down into these areas here Let's see the move and I want to see it now trade through here I want to see a decisive move here So we're looking for the move bound to 4500. We're almost I mean I kind of kind of missed that. Um Now we're looking to see for the scenario here Can they break it? Can they break 4500? Can they break it on size? Then we're looking for 95 90? and The bigger move If this isn't your kind of environment, um, you know, you're looking for Then just do not trade it It's tricky stuff like, you know buyers back up above it here get the squeeze on Back up into 008 liquidity here. This would be the target now if we get buyers back up above 03 This is one of the big reasons why Um, let's see if allen is in here. Uh, you know, we look for these moves To high liquidity or you know, the the range down here and take take partial profit Uh, and then look to, um Move your stop down or look for getting back in Uh, uh and and looking for another move back down Okay, and taking profit again. Okay in this case, you'd have to reverse now We're looking for the squeeze higher up into the 08 This is we've seen this now this move now, I don't know three or four times right Same idea here In here look at the volume So they're upending these guys, you know getting back up above this kind of uh, 03 area here Yeah, good morning allen So, yeah, I mean this is an edge. I mean when we when we saw them coming in here And this is an edge like we're looking for them to move it down to just you know, um, 4500 Okay, when we see them come back up above here, we're looking for them to move it to 08 Now one of the other things on the higher time frame to take a look at here is um You know, we're looking for This kind of scenario here, but with much more volume much much more And then we're looking for the bigger move the opposite direction Okay, so for example Um, if we can get back up up above and break out And look like well, you know, it looks like the day is going to trend higher Uh, and we get really strong volume like this kind of volume like we see over in here We see nice very strong distinctive move Um look for that to be on the hook for the move the other way as well on the higher time frame Yeah, what a chop indeed m buds Yeah But I mean, can you guys see the you know, you see what's happening in here You can see how like, uh, you know, we come back up. We're looking for it to start to trend. That's a primary scenario Low volume pullback, uh, it should fit. Look at the uh, it's all Every time it's been a low volume pullback in here. Look at the volume here Uh, you know, here's here's the move lower and look at the volume dots in here compared to each other Uh, and uh does not matter though. You get buyers above it.  Okay. Now we're down below that area and sellers coming in So we did not get the move to 08 and that's what we're looking for to test that liquidity We still might get it So it's almost kind of like look at your clusters in this kind of choppy environment Now this is you know, this is very short time frame that we're looking at in here We'll cover the higher time frame in just a minute Um, but look for these clusters and then look for the squeeze Like this is this is looking good for a drop here These guys are on the squeeze looking for the squeeze down to 95 here Strong volume. Okay. We should get the move down to 95 I mean, it's it's demoing it in real time for us, which is great So, you know, here we go. Check it out That buy volume Sellers below it the squeeze is on stop run 128 52 Okay, let's see if buyers can come roaring back in right back up to 4500 here Where it dropped from Let's see if we get the same scenario down here like are we going to start to trend? Or are we going to get more sellers on the hook down here? Okay, no stop run and if we can get buyers back up above it Then we'd be looking for the move back up into 4500 and then maybe even 08 A lot of icebergs in here though. So that's something the 500 just transacted in here Okay, we're back up above that selling here. We got to get back up here though 97 Otherwise, it's going to hold the structure Right. We got to see the structure break Even in here the structure is breaking the breaking point is in the middle here You know it retests back up here, but once you start to get the buyers in here, we're looking for the move higher All right, same idea kind of reminds me of like a if you guys remember the old mad magazines um spy versus spy Anyone remember remember that? So I don't Maybe I'm not Oh, there was even a movie made out of it You guys remember Yeah Yeah, yeah, it was like I think it was the back page right of mad magazine And they did they did make a movie out of it. It was crazy. Um Yeah, so so this kind of reminds me of it like, you know Like one guy like, you know, it's like, huh, I got you down here And he and he turns around stabs the other guy in the back on the upside You know and it's like, haha, I got you here and then they're gonna stab We're gonna stab you on the back on the other side And it's just back and forth like this Like looking for it looking for the get these guys on the hook. Let's see the squeeze. Let's see the move to 4500 here Looking for it. Uh, let's see if we can even get higher here and get even above This 45 01 on buying then we're looking for 08 liquidity We had two stop runs 180 161 Okay, let's see if we get a retest back up here buying and we should get the move to 4500 And then we can look at you know, so we're looking at kind of um This kind of selling down here and then buying back up above it, which it is doing so we're still looking for a little bit higher here Um, but bigger picture. There's a bigger picture one This whole zone and then a move back up above it would be back up to 08 Right, so we're open to that scenario too. But first we got to get to 4500 Okay, it's a fractal event Of uh of this uh of this concept So we have two two a smaller event and then a bigger event here All right, let's take us just a breather here on all this back and forth in here. Um, and um We did break break down from the the the pennant here that we kind of drew up So and basically what this just means is that This is kind of one big value area and they're they're kind of moving it away from it, right? So we're we're privy to that or we we're looking at that too. Are we going to start to trend lower? Then we're looking for more selling in here Uh to come back down retest this low and then hit 90. Uh, and then see if they can even break that Uh, which is kind of low of the uh of the day here is down here Or the cash session around 86 or so 87 something like that And then looking looking for the move outside right to move it away from this big area here Okay, so we're bigger picture. That's kind of what we're looking at the minute at the moment here We're just really kind of watching some of the order flow within here some of these events that we're looking for so, you know, uh Does that scenario start to play out then we look for those moves See look at the battle. Look at the sellers come in and fight fight it here They don't want these sellers are really trying not to get it to come back up to 4500 Now they're committed Okay, now they're gonna feel the pain Here we go Let's see not only 4500 I think we can get Due to the selling in here if they can get upended we can come back up into 05 and 08 If we get enough if we get enough buyers. That's really the question here Not enough buyers Not enough buyers if we get sellers at 96 we should get a nice drop into 90 Should be real nice And should be quick All right sellers you got the door wide open here. You got these guys on the hook up here Let's see the move down to 92 ish and 90 Here we go Hold on Okay, after after we get some clarity on this move here Then we're going to zoom out and look at the bigger picture because we haven't we haven't we've been addressing all of this kind of Back and forth in here and understanding the order flow here You know, even if you don't trade this like you don't it's not I mean, this is not a trading room. It's not a recommendation Of what we want to understand the order flow events in here You'll see this on all time frames, you know and look for these scenarios here So like right now like this could turn into a nice bigger, you know higher time frame trade Right And we're looking for it to unfold they could we couldn't find the buyers. We're open to that scenario and that squeeze Didn't find enough once we start to see the selling coming in we're looking for the move Okay, it's still looking for the move Looking forward to continue And maybe we can get down to the 80 or 85 level where there was liquidity down here previously It's not there anymore. It's up here at 90 instead Okay, so a question to you guys Uh, if you guys are if this is too much like, uh, I mean it's really quick But where where do you think things would be upended here for these sellers? And you got to answer quickly Okay, I'm sorry. Where where would the buyers take control to be more precise No, yeah 95 95 here kazoo is pretty close See see see where the sellers took control here So we're looking for the buyers right now. Here we go So we've never even got down to 90 and and here's our you know spy versus spy um Getting these guys on the hook Getting the move back up to 4500 Okay, you maybe I was the the question wasn't quite right like uh, if you guys said 4500 as like the stop run Or like where that event is going to take place? Yes, but the upending is going to happen right here Yeah, 97 I would I think that's pretty good too. Um, Alan It's just a book map is so visual like, you know, it's right in front of us there Like this is where the selling came in leg lower Um, this is where they're getting up. I I'm just I'm shocked. We couldn't even get down to 90 That that's kind of shocking. We got down to the first leg or first area of liquidity down here Okay, now beautiful squeeze to the upside Okay, now we're even looking for 05 Yeah, I like it, uh, David Yeah, I I still I even like this better, uh, 08 up here And and now we're going to look at that bigger scenario here the bigger scenario here. So let it's it's this one here Okay, this one upended and then this one Upended so looking for the up end. Okay, so that's what you guys were saying maybe I'm sorry Uh, boy, I mean, we're just seeing like if it's so fractal here So now we're looking for that scenario on the higher timeframe like a more like a Kind of a a bigger range move here Scenarios playing out really nicely looking for these buyers to try to do it 05 08 Above 4500 here Yeah, so if you guys were if you meant that um on the higher timeframe, that's correct or you know, just uh Maybe it wasn't so clear with my uh my question God, even if if we're really fractal here, you know, we'd be looking at uh Something like this then You know, so we're looking for 10 actually Not not eight, but the liquidity is here at 05 and 8. All right. This is another thing like, you know Yeah, great, you know fractal markets. I love it. I love being able to match up this stuff. Um And I look for something like it's just so so, you know, beautiful to see But it's I I don't care like the liquidity is here at 05 and 08 Fractal moves should get to 10 But the liquidity is here This is this is where the sellers are buyers want to meet the sellers. That's where they are You need to get the above the century in this environment Okay, cool pro more more quizzing. All right. Yeah, good good. Well, yeah, um That's uh, I'll I'll do that. Um, uh, thanks. Thanks for the feedback Okay, guys, we're at 05. So david there you go. Nice nicely done Still looking for it higher here All right, you're in test us. Okay Yeah, yeah, well, I mean we'll go through the scenarios, you know, uh and uh And then start to uh, uh look at it like, you know interesting event liquidity here filled now they're on the bid here Now they're getting filled Okay, so we we we found some sellers here They're they're gonna try to take control after that event at 0 3 7 5 No, no clarity yet 44 98 Did they take control?  It's kind of I I marked it up because of this here, right? This is where they drove it lower Typically we look for like if sellers came in here Um, we're looking for sellers to support that move So usually, you know, uh, you'll see either liquidity in here or usually what happens is the liquidity um Actually, you know comes in right after that move and they kind of really slam the door here And uh, uh, you know just telling traders just back off don't come back up here. Um, and um We get the uh, maybe kind of some some, you know retest but likely they don't they don't take on that liquidity Okay, kind of like this guy up here like no one's even tested him and he's still in the order book All right, but if buyers want to take him on that's where he is Okay, so this move This fractal move here It could still be in play, but all it did was trade 0 5 So think about your your trade management on this and this is I can't really quiz you on this This will just have to be something that you're comfortable with or not You know, where to where to take, you know, kind of reduce the risk Move your stop or maybe you're all in or all out in in these types of Scenarios right that can really build confidence and um You know And then look for the next one and continue to do that now I mean, this is really back and forth stuff We're and we're looking for a bigger move here to unfold. We have the fractal move on the in this kind of uh, you know Pivot line here at 45 4500 we haven't looked at the bigger picture and look at it It's just such a mess Look at the 15 minute chart here All right, look at the hour chart here like still on the hour chart like Boy, we're not getting much clarity at all Uh, and this is just uh like a porcupine Uh in here nothing All right, but we're we're reading it. I mean, we see what's what's fueling it, right? And we're learning about in in in real time like and we're looking for those scenarios to start to unfold And so in terms of any kind of bigger picture move right here, I don't I don't see it yet Uh, we have potential actually, um, there is potential here This this is pretty typical, you know, you're you're and let's go over this like uh, you're pennant your flags You know, you're whatever whatever you want to call it You see the move out and then you see the retest back up to where it dropped from here same ideas that we're covering Now did it accept no? It came back up here to 05 and that was as far as it went now sellers are coming back in Okay, and we're down below our little area here So now sellers looking for them to take it right back down Okay, and test these buyers first area is kind of here where they broke out from right right here Okay, sorry guys. I kind of missed it. I you know, but the scenario is once we get down below here This kind of uh pivot here and we see selling in here. They're going to drive it to test these guys here at 96 Now if we get sellers below that they're going to come back for that 90 liquidity down here Uh 44 98 did buyers take control? Yeah. Yeah, I would say um in there. Yes You would scale at 90. Okay. There's our move to 90 guys. They were just we just went through this scenario here And uh kind of move away for just my eyes for just a minute and the move unfolds So, I mean this is kind of a bigger picture move Or I was saying like I don't quite see it and then I kind of backed up And here's the move outside. Here's the retest back to where it broke from and here's our here's our move now Okay, so and this is pretty strong selling again looking for the sellers to now drive it lower 85 80 77 They want to and we want to move away from this whole area here and this I know this is just turning into a mess Um, but I want to keep it on here for now because we saw this event so many times happen Uh, and uh, so, you know Don't get caught. I mean if if anything, um, don't get caught up in it, uh would be the uh Uh, if you don't you don't need to trade it. You don't need to scalp or whatever But don't get caught up in it Because we know that that's a very likely scenario Okay, so a bigger picture now Is Something like this right new new trading zone Can sellers, you know a drop it below the swing here Okay, and then we'll get a new profile down here. So let's zoom in. Let's take a look Now another thing and and this is really this is where it just it gets really tricky and in fact, it's really funny. Um, What you know like for example, um, uh Let's say, um Let's say uh yesterday or you know scott um was uh Uh, you know, he he went for two hours yesterday in his webinar Uh, so and he always says like after about an hour and a half Like, oh, you know, I should get out because it's start every time I start to look to get out Like i'm getting these really big stops and icebergs Uh starting to unfold So, um, why do you guys think that why why, uh um Always when he's just, you know trying to uh, uh end the webinar What do you think? exactly allen exactly exactly david spot on european clothes So, uh, and then we're looking for follow through after after that european clothes So european clothes and this is this is friday too So they're closing for the weekend All right, so we're gonna get some volatility here and we're we're just getting into that area right now So we we got to be open to that We got to be open to this like we're looking for a trending move right now outside of the range, but we got to figure like, you know What what's europe gonna do are they gonna like, you know, uh Are they gonna start to cover and be flat for the for the for the weekend Or are they gonna try to really move this and trend lower and and then just uh, Uh, uh, you know look to provide liquidity at these lower levels and drive it to those areas And I don't see much liquidity down here right now 75 and 80 44 50 that's where it is Yeah, exactly david this you have to ask yourself. Do you do you want to stay long over the weekend? Or do you want to even get caught up?  Yeah, russia pulling out exactly david.  I'm not I'm not going there. Yeah, the eth was much easier. Yeah, a lot of times you'll see that Um, you know, you get these nice trending moves in the in the extended trading hours Uh, just like easy peasy All right, here we go. We're getting our answer. So like now Looking they're going to be charging after and trying to get filled at this these areas of high liquidity Okay, huge stop run here huge Okay, almost a thousand right there. Did they get filled in here? I want to know if they got filled in here not really Not really they ran that they ran the stops I'm looking for it to go lower still. I I know we we have a scenario here because it's a massive stop run If we get buyers back up above here, uh, this this false This could be a really nice false breakdown and a move back up into the range back up into this liquidity here at 80 08 in fact Oh, hey, it's that good. It's it's you know, this really gets a lot of people on the hook um One more move lower to get them on the hook put it that way Okay, let's see the reaction to this liquidity here At 90 we should see some more sellers in here I'm still looking for them to trade into 80 and and 75 here Then I'd be looking for maybe the move back up above Uh 80 86 here, you know, it's it's really nice is uh, uh, like scott was talking about You know how he would uh Uh move the market right he has he had so much liquidity And and how did he um, you know, he was he was able to um He was able to Set an area of high liquidity And then You know, let's say above the market You know sell liquidity He he wanted to be a seller And then he starts actually moving it coming in and with market buys Getting people enticed advertising getting them to go long with him to trade up into his liquidity So that that's possible here. Look stop run down below massive stop run And let how do how can we get um, this liquidity filled in here? Okay, get people going the wrong way Getting them to be buyers and then also advertising in here Above our 90 level here With lots of buying, you know chasing right after it So first first move would be the 95 liquidity here, but the second one would be 45 100 uh 05 and then 08 Okay, so far low volume pullback on this one. I'm I still want to see it this european close. I want to see them Still go lower here at 80 and then 75 and then I want to see them cover later So i'm looking for the volatile move down back down into here. I'm open though to um Back up above 90 in the in the squeeze And we know what that looks like Okay, we went over it many times here Right here and then buyers back up above here Up into 95 And we're going to get our answer here 10 minutes to go 10 years at the height of day. Thank you david Excellent Okay, looking for these buyers to squeeze it up to 95 There's one more scenario to go through here and and because of the volatility in here. I'm going to go through it This is this could be like looking for that squeeze and then sellers below it Now these guys it's kind of a false little breakout here Right, so we got to we've got to be aware of that one too. We see that a lot In this case, they're going to go for it here. They should they should hit 95 We got enough buying up here yet again to move it now Here at the retest we're seeing more buyers up here So we're looking for them to try to extend it. Okay, let's see it. Let's see it buyers Should be able to do it There's a stop run 173 still looking for higher Sorry guys, you know, I really like I really appreciate that suggestion For asking questions in here, but boy, it's it's hard You know, we're really kind of glued to it and watching the order flow and then it's really shifting and changing quickly No confidence in anything. Yeah I mean the only thing that you that gives us confidence is is when we know that an event took place and we know the position basically And then we can go through and look for You know these kinds of squeezes to unfold and I think with with some some pretty good confidence You know just look and practice and go through the scenarios here Now these are just really short term moves though Now they could play into bigger ones though. It's fractal. It's like we're saying Hey, the the bigger move here is like, okay. Well You know selling selling coming back in and still moving at lower here The only thing the only caveat we have here is this European close And that's a big one Okay, if we look at this though in terms of technically what's kind of going on in here, we should go lower 80 75 Back down to 44 50 Lower highs lower lows More selling here right everything's pointing toward that You know bigger picture And let's take a look at our bigger picture Yeah, see see that this is a little more decisive move, right? A little not much but a little more here big big wick on this candle here on this 15 minute It made a lower high up here And then selling down here they broke the low here, but it's back in the range And they need to come back here and then break it and then we can get the nice move down into 45 Uh, yeah, I actually 63 looks pretty good for the first area. Um, or even this one 76 63 and then 50 So 76 so that here's liquidity at 76 um 53 Or 63 right not not not much taken there So it's really 75 And then uh, and then 50 So yeah, alec then then uh, you know, it is it is rough. It is it's it's you know, it's tricky Uh, uh, although we we did just kind of outline the bigger picture, right? Um, and uh and looking for that, you know to unfold Uh, but on on the all of this back and forth in here like we we couldn't really cover anything uh except for Looking for these order flow events and people getting upended And in the back and forth in here Yeah, so a short term it did it did hold this this little uptrend line. Yes right here So, yeah that 95 is still still on the table here Right here Okay, it's starting to break it though right now And test it higher time frame you're looking from pre-market. Okay. Let's just zoom out Boy, I mean a higher time frame like um, uh, it's an it's a really interesting move like, uh, you know Uh a move back down here to and retest like here where the where they initiated the buying and the move higher Uh, just after seven seven east coast time here I still like this move to 75 liquidity here Uh, we had wicks on our higher time frame candlestick. We also have it kind of You know just a little bit below where they they kind of uh Moved it higher here, but we do we can't you know, we do have that liquidity here at 80 But there's more. Well, they just shifted They just shifted it Yeah from 75 up to 80 So maybe this this guy started there's getting a little impatient and they'd rather be sellers here instead of here Right So we just saw that I mean this is what is so dynamic about it about order flow Right, we we just got a new picture here So we're looking at 75 earlier, but now like, hmm, maybe maybe 80 is uh is better 75 is pre-market poc. Okay All right, so we just got a few more minutes here for that, uh, European close They're gonna start to cover I'm going to see the move back up 95 Yeah, it looks like I'm gonna go for it here. Let's see it Back up to 93 and then 95 No, not not at all Not at all selling coming right back in All right, they're gonna go for it 80. Let's see it quick move Quick move into 80 Let's see you're still waiting the bushes for potential reversals at 76 and 68. Yeah, I mean it like Like I said, like um, we're going through order flow events and scenarios and reading Uh, and and that's what we that's our goal here It doesn't have to be a tradeable event But if we understand some of these concepts in here, we can start to wrap trading strategies around them. No, no problem No problem at all. I mean, there's there's enough movement in here. Like, you know from 92 down to you know 82 here. I mean, that's 10 points, right? You could have been in and out you could have played this Uh, you know looking for this these sellers to be upended in the short squeeze back up to the top of the range Many times over in here many many times over on on different time time frames as well and then You know, that could be a strategy here And boy, you probably would have been hitting about 90 but you know That would be a very very kind of very low time frame. Um, and I know that uh, you know, a lot of people don't do that. So Uh, if if you kind of stretch it out for a little bit higher time frame, it becomes really kind of difficult, I think Uh, you have to stretch it out to much much higher time frame, I think Right, so you're looking at kind of like the bigger picture here And um and the possible move um Yeah, thanks gizu. That's nice. Yeah, these rotations. I mean, it's really the order flow within the rotation That's what it is. That's what we're looking for And then where where people are going to be kind of stuck And and feel the the pain So, okay, david, um, that's really good study david.  Um Yeah, take it. You know, I always kind of um recommend uh, uh to take a step back and just kind of um You know watch watch, uh How things unfold these these order flow events and then once you start to see them enough then you know You can start to Look at the scenarios to start to play out And and then it becomes higher probability. I always use allen as an example in here. Um Yeah, yeah david patience indeed. I mean like, uh The uh, but I always use allen as an example in here like uh of like he he came came in here a couple years ago and and uh I don't even know if it's like maybe three years ago now allen. It's been a while. Uh, but uh Uh came in and said well, that's great But how do I use it and it's like, okay? Well, let's go through a low time frame Uh strategy Uh and start to you know look like okay. I'm looking for this event only to a certain area and I'm looking for getting out I'm looking for it to reach only that area like right now We see some buying clusters in here, but they're it's a lower high And sellers are coming in so I'm looking for 80 here I'm looking for it. We've seen this enough times here Um that lower highs even with the volume in here on the buy side They're gonna they're gonna feel the pain like uh, they can't they just can't seem to lift it So watch the sellers come in here and watch the quick move into 80 And then where do you get in? Yeah, you get in right here. Basically, uh, you know 85 Uh and a tight stop Really tight stop because this move you're looking for it to move right now You're looking for it to unfold right now and you're looking for it down to uh, you know, uh, this liquidity here They're even front running a little bit. Maybe 81 Right And that's it and then you get out It's a high, you know higher probability move here just due to the order flow in here I mean you could you could you could even move your your stop to break even at this point You know, it's just it's a really small event. But like, you know, it starts to build that confidence And then you could extrapolate that to much bigger moves. It's like this is the bigger move here And once you get on the side of that bigger move, it's it's really easy. It's it's really simple. I I find like like, um, You know, you just ride it and it it's just It's a it's a joy All right, guys, I would I would have taken some profit out of that to be honest right around here I'm still looking for 80 to transact, but I like to front run a little bit and just get out And uh, yeah, so actually I would have been been like getting out around this stop run here as well Okay, so there there's you know kind of a real time example of of alak I just wanted to cover like A very short term very low time frame occurrence here You know, it's not these are not trade recommendations. It's just a consideration for a setup Like what to look for and then how to look for kind of some some sort of higher probability move And then you know And then that event is done And look for the next one interesting European close, um, so Just some bashing around back and forth, but we're looking for the trending move now guys So let's see if we can continue here with the trend Okay, so European close coming to an end looking for the easy move go with it And let's see if we can get down to this liquidity here at at 44 50 Yeah, exactly Alec look for those moves around some of those areas Where let's see you know, you're replying to somebody 832 is buying exhaustion 1132.  Here's our exhaustion up here beautiful beautiful Right and and look at the buying buying in here is not bad And you know, there's some in here. We got to kind of you know, look at the zoom out a little bit and Look at the kind of bigger picture, but there's just not a lot here There's some in here. They're trying and then boy, they're done Yeah, and then the higher probability move on that would be just down to here or liquidity You know this area here or maybe maybe down here 82 All right guys, so we so we went down we went down below 80 Uh down to 75 Just shy of it And then we're seeing the move right back up pull back uh liquidity in here Uh, this is the uh, little kind of pivot area here Right where we can see the test up here Uh, and then if if buyers can get back up above it. We can get a move back to 85 But it's trending now the european markets closed I'm looking for the trend can to continue at this point You know, we have some decision here like kind of bigger picture. Let's just I'll get rid of the mess here in just a second, but a bigger picture here You know, we had this kind of pennant. We had the move We had the retest back to it and then the sellers moving it away We're even looking though for a potential move back up into this area here We're open to that at that move They once they start to come back in and it was it was here. We we saw it That they just couldn't do it here In this area here. That's when we're looking for the sellers to try to move it lower Okay, and now we're trending Right, so we just stick with the trend We are at a tom level. Okay Yeah, well, I'll turn it over to tom in just a minute here Um, I just want to go through, you know, how many this is this is something to take a look at Like how many times did we see this Set up in here Or this order flow phenomena in here of noticing like, you know sellers Sellers back up above Or i'm buyers back up above sellers down below Um, and then that uh where they get upended Hey down in here.  Um Or deleted a bunch of them, but we saw a bunch in here as well. Let me get rid of this Hope clarify Yeah, so we saw it many times in here Okay here in here in here Here is a nice one here This one was nice one as well. We're even looking for a measured move up into here, but the liquidity is here at 05 Uh nice one david And then we this was the retest back to our our kind of pennant here Or you know where they broke down from retested back to where they broke down from more sellers And look at where the sellers came in here, right at this kind of 4500. That's where they took control here We're looking for that and then we're looking for the high liquidity to trade All right, and then we saw it again in here back Stop run beautiful stop run And then trying to get back up above I think I thought we'd get to 95. I really did Um, and we just didn't and then we started to note it in here around this 1132 and then that moved back down to 80 Uh, and then trending 75 80. We even talked about 75 Uh, and how they kind of pulled and added up here at 80. So we liked 80 better Yeah No, no, it's it's time to to um Uh pass the baton to tom here in just uh just a minute here, uh, but some we should see this uh trending Continue here Let's just zoom out and look at our bigger picture And let me get rid of all these all this stuff in here Finally clean up that chart But just go through and look for that event in here. Uh, and yeah, it was choppy. It was this is tough But just look how these you know people just get screwed over they they they they get involved in it. They get stopped out Um, they they get involved down here yet again, and this is where they feel the squeeze and they get stopped out on the other side It's just typical is typical behavior. Uh, and it's what makes the market gyrate back and forth like this Um, and then uh, and then we got our bigger move here Okay, so yeah, I would have taken some profit at 80 Um, no doubt, uh, or even in front of it 81 just looking for that move to unfold Uh, and uh, yeah, I would like to say that uh, hopefully I looked at the bigger picture And I would have been holding for a bigger move here Right on a higher time frame Okay, and I would still be in it Yeah, we're gonna get pullbacks and they'll come back and they'll probably pull back to 80 Or even a little bit higher maybe 85 But we're we're starting to trend now. We've we've crossed the uh The the european close here 67 next vs 72 So I like 70 I kind of like I like to see like how long these guys have been in here Like they were here around this kind of 68 level looks like 69 something like that. Um And you can see kind of a flip in the order book here also at 80 on the bid now they're on the offer Okay, so we should we should continue to see the trend here Oh Fatal, um Wow 15 trades 70% winners crazy um, I I really This is not a trade recommendation room. I I'm really happy to hear that you did really well, but uh, um This this is only for educational purposes You know, we we really um, I encourage people not not not even to trade in In sim Uh, just read it and then go hmm All right. Well, I saw this Uh order flow unfold Therefore, I'm looking, you know, and it's a context. It's not just one event It's multiple events that we're looking at and then and then we're looking for the move Uh, uh to to unfold and like Did it did what's what's that scenario going to look like? And then you know what it looks like And then you can start to go through it now now. I I understand it. I understand what it looks like And now how can I manage it? So Yeah, I mean, I just think it's a quicker path to to learning personally because You avoid the bias and the emotion That's not part of the equation Right, even in demo you you can get emotional Uh and and you know and and hard headed stubborn And then add to losers, etc And boy, that's just uh, you know, not not the path So having that kind of emotional um flexibility By not being involved in a trade and just like kind of watching and waiting and and looking for scenarios to unfold No, but that's that's awesome though like 70% winners. Yeah And and and if you're looking for you know, like like we covered this move into 80 here Um, we're looking for it to to unfold immediately due to the order flow what we saw in here We're looking for it to unfold Uh, and uh, it should Uh, and if it doesn't okay, well, you know something else happened and maybe some other big event happened in there Uh, but uh, we're looking for It to unfold now and it should Um and maybe something else is wrong now this higher time frame move has taken a while Uh, we see the back and forth and back and forth The breakdown back to where it broke down from and then the the stronger move in here, uh, and we saw it we Yeah, I know we covered many different things in here Uh, and we saw this move And we're even open to the move back up into to 08 here and they didn't they didn't even break the structure And then once we saw lower high lower high more selling Um on the higher we we mentioned it on the higher time frame. We're looking for the continuation It's everything is telling us in the order flow. It should there was just one big caveat here And it's a big one and that is at european close Like we don't know, um And we just might be you know, see some some really big back and forth in here Uh, anyway, uh, that uh, yeah You know, that's a great great, uh, uh percentage there wind percentage and uh Yeah, that's a lot of scalping back and forth All right guys, look at the see the buying coming in right now Okay, and then here we now we know we're starting to break some of the structure on high volume Okay, okay, let's see them come up to 82 and then 85 here. Let's see if they can do it Okay, now that would be the scenario here Even we even made a low a higher kind of equal high and now a higher high and a higher low Looking for more buyers to reach 82 and 85 Okay, now the opposite scenario here is Uh Selling back down probably about here, you know where the where these buyers came in All right, and then and then maybe trend continuation here Okay, let's see it one more move. Let's see the push 82 83 and then maybe 85 Order book and balance Looks looks nice should be able to hit it should be able to hit this 80 82 and a half 83 There it is. There's our move Okay, and then immediate see the immediate sell off there now why This is where the sellers came in Hey, you can look at your volume profiles too. Like there's a little node here, but Like this is really this is where the sellers want us. They're going to support it here Typically, that's what we look for Now if they get upended there'd be buying back up above it. All right Tahoe 77 you don't have book map. I briefly used several several years ago How do you use the iceberg stops indicator at the bottom of the chart? Um, well, there's many different ways uh on chart and and sub chart to look at it Now the way the way that we um Use it uh in these webinars and and I also Um encourage you guys to to use it this way. It's not a signal. It's a confluence So order flow rules first And then we're looking to see like oh, okay. Well, we have we're on the side of like, you know, larger iceberg purchasing Uh, and we see a lot of aggressive buyers come in Um, and we have an order book skew. Uh, that's give us a kind of bias to the upside Great, you know We know we're on The side of order flow and larger players Just because there's larger players transacting doesn't doesn't mean anything like with the icebergs Uh, you know, they they they can absorb things against them many times over Uh, it depends depends on the player, of course, uh, but uh, a lot of times on these trending days What we see is a lot of times, uh Let's say high liquidity getting filled Even even with just with the liquidity not even icebergs, but you'll see icebergs getting filled on lower lows in the trend and at a certain point There's just no more selling Uh, and uh, and then we look for those buyers to come in and then we look for You know get kind of an idea like for example, where these icebergs got in Where would they start to be in profit? Like here's a bunch of icebergs in here Also a bunch over here Um, and um, yeah, so where would they in the bigger picture? Where would they be in profit? It would be back up above 4500 basically So there there's that opens the potential for looking for a potentially big mean reversion trade And we could look for something like this Or this Yeah, the the numbers here these are stops the the red is stops the blue are icebergs If they're below the market or the price action these were sellers I'm sorry buyers buyers. They're they're they're buying here. Um, and um, uh, if it's above they're they're sellers Right, it's like limit orders. It's like liquidity. This is sell liquidity up here by liquidity down below Yep All right guys. Well, let's see, uh Uh, I want to wrap it up here. I I um, I go to I think a little too long recently, um In these webinars, uh, but uh, some good stuff in here in like, you know, uh, kind of navigating choppy market Um, and understanding the order flow that leads to that kind of choppy market Uh, and once you start to see that behavior, like, you know, like if you don't feel comfortable with it, just don't trade it Uh, but uh, if you do feel comfortable trading it like my god, you know, um Uh, you can you can kind of rack up some some nice, uh You know some nice, uh winners Yeah, you're welcome. David. Yeah. Thank you. Really appreciate it. Um, so, uh, yeah, we'll we'll we'll you know continue to go through Uh these order flow events here and I'll ask more questions for you guys like, you know And go through these scenarios here, uh, you know, where where price might go based on what we're seeing in the order flow and the structure Uh, it's always this context here Uh of these three elements on the book map chart. So look at look at the move now, right? We got it We had the move higher. We broke the structure. We even made a higher a higher low here And here we go again You know buyers come right back in You know, we're seeing a potential Uh mean reversion trade now Okay, we just talked about You know something like this Okay, all right guys, we'll wrap it up. Uh, maybe when you get an area you're looking for to show how to Turn around is valid. Um, yeah. Yeah, I mean like, um, a gizoo like, uh, basically it's like, um, where the We're looking to see who's in control and where they take control and then like how it's confirmed It's in control Right and usually has to deal with a price structure break. Um, and uh, and a lot of volume like that just moves it away from an area and then, uh You know, it starts to maybe transact in that area. So let's just take a look at this here. So higher time frame And then I'll go.  Um, and then, you know back up into, uh, uh, even here 90 You know, the the mean reversion is basically 4500 So and we're we we don't know yet. Um, if that's going to unfold or not Have they really decisively taking control?

It's pretty big right and and we're now back up above all of this selling here We're looking for a squeeze now. We can get back up to 90 Look look for the, uh, you know, this kind of high volume node here as well like this or Even better yet.
