Good morning traders and welcome to the book map live trading webinar. This is Bruce morning map book map and We go through live analysis here Monday Tuesday Friday at 10 a.m. We have live trading Wednesday 10 a.m Thursday 10 a.m. J trader stocks for stocks scoppelsini for futures And the live analysis now all based on our educational course So let's jump into the markets right away, and let's see what's going on We have some really fascinating stuff to take a look at today In fact, I Tweeted out some things will go over in a second. So I'm just kind of curious what you guys think about We'll take a look at the S&P here but You know, we talked about this 42 50 level a week ago last Friday And now we're down to it So what do you guys think at this at this point after a full week of being above that price level? Where we saw all of that liquidity filled. So are you bearish? Are you bullish here? very very curious here because I mean they're staying in the book here as well on the way down and starting to get filled in here and We'll go over the Nasdaq in just a minute as well but You know what just kind of curious what you guys guys thoughts are here and Good morning Bert Also, what you guys think about some of this order flow phenomena that we're going to take a look at here in just a minute Right and Yeah, let's let's jump in and actually it's on the NQ that I really wanted to show Just some crazy stuff in here. I don't know if you guys saw the tweet I Sent out all I'll post it or I'll show it here We have the on-chart indicator Okay here, let me show the tweet I think you guys will get a kick out of this so You know, I just noticed this as a In the background and look at this iceberg in here just Crazy crazy stuff. Okay, so, you know large iceberg It transacts for 360 following this all the way down All right, so and then notice the stop run afterwards here But follows this all the way down Getting filled all the way down Now the question is like, you know, what's their position here? And you know, I don't really know I think the guy's trapped. He's executing the full way I don't think he's trying to get short, but maybe You know, I don't think he's initiating. I think he's more trapped as kind of the behavior when we see such an aggressive iceberg Like this, but yeah, it could be I could be getting getting filled For initiating a short position as well and wanted this high price here. Anyway the Yeah, let me know your guys thoughts on that. This was today. This was earlier this morning No, just just around nine o'clock here as you can see and then let's go back one though To take a look at the follow-up You just can't make this stuff up so Let's take a look at this image and Here was that iceberg here on the way down Well They actually started getting filled up here, right? But look at the icebergs buying right on the other side here You know, it's actually this is kind of erroneous this little dotted line is you can see the little blue line up here It starts right around here, which is probably what? You know somewhere around this kind of Three three ninety level or so something like that but you know Several icebergs in here one two three four five at this moment You know, this was 925 before the open they want to be long so we're seeing some really interesting stuff in here and Not sure exactly what to make of it yet. So let's take a look at this NQ and see what's going on My god So yeah, well here's that iceberg And here there were several getting filled on the way back up Okay, previously Okay in this area here now. I'm gonna have to kind of mess with the settings a bit Okay, take off automatic setting here did I do it hold on It's still on 20 something. Okay, there we go. Yeah. Well here it is I mean there's their behavior and Yeah, most of them got filled in here so Yikes, so anyway some interesting stuff. Look at this Nasdaq Nasdaq executed by 907 icebergs contracts here Wow So anyway lots of stuff going on. We knew this was gonna be an important level In the S&P here and indeed it is this 42 50 And let the world, you know cover the the topic of this webinar here is about the Candlesticks and market structure and and we'll cover it here and go through all of this order flow phenomena at the same time But I just want to bridge that gap We haven't talked we've always we're always talking about market structure But I also want to show that in the candlesticks And so we can bridge the gap between the higher time frame and the lower time frame here And look at all this liquidity getting filled down here at big big area here at this 42 40 as you guys can see Large icebergs as well. I mean there's just a lot of stuff going on here on Friday here today. So Anyway, let me see some of your questions in here or maybe some of your comments Good morning, Tom. Oh boy okay So you're looking at 42 20 and Let's see you guys over in discord here. Okay, no no comments in discord. I'm kind of curious See the Well, anyway All right. Well, let's let's take a quick read here and see what's going on.  Look, I mean icebergs getting filled stop run here icebergs getting filled on the short side Nice move down.  Are they covering in this area here? Probably covering some and then look at this selling on the other side in here large icebergs Just does lots of lots of stuff going on here. All right, so let's Take a look here. Well, I mean we're gonna remain bearish here due to This move here at the open until we see something different. I mean you can even see the overnight here We're bearish until we see something different The some strong buying just before the the open it looks like Yep, and then They did kind of breach this this area here hit the hit these stops up here And then we had the strong sell-off through the figure and that half figure Into the 40 level and then let's zoom in a little closer here. Okay, so sellers in control and Yeah, just some some back and forth in here quite quite a bit of buying and selling in these areas But the structure is what we want to take a look at Okay, now they are slightly breaking it here, but here we are down here and we're breaking it now So we're still looking for Continuation to the downside. This is not a lot of selling right now. This could be a nice trap But we got to go with the order flow And we're looking for the continuation here now If this might be a false breakdown, let's take a look here then what we're looking for is the scenario here Lots of buyers up here to come back to these guys at 44 Let's see if we get a clear answer here Okay, we're looking always looking for clarity in the order flow here and I mean this was a strong auction up here at this top edge here top of the range, but We need to see the those buyers come back in again here Anyway, not seeing much now at the moment We do see the bid starting to to show some some some size here, but They are getting filled Wow, okay. All right, can we get buyers back up above it? Let's see. They're still on the bid here. Okay. We're starting to get some buyers. All right buyers You got it. Let's see the move here not just to this swing now If you're getting long in here, and this is not a trade recommendation But if you are looking at this and you are looking at the bid and you're taking a shot at it here Then you know you look for now it would be more of a scalp, but you look for the swing here Okay to be tested it's up to you if you want to take some off there Or move your stop up, but it's got to get above here Okay on buying and Looks like we're gonna get Well, we might get a short squeeze here with these guys if we if they can feel the pinch But it's not looking good for following through here. Let's just watch this here Still watching this bid This is this is not high probability. I need to mention that here if this big Red dot up here were green it would be a lot higher probability a lot higher Okay, we would look for this not only this kind of 40 level, but 44 45 up here Okay, so yeah, it looks like the structure is still holding here The the negative structure the bear structure still holding here All right sellers then you got to come in then and let's see the move and do this 36 and below Yep, there we go Okay, a little bit of buying Okay, now the buyers are coming in Okay, we want to see it up here though at 40 structure is still holding We went above this little swing, but that doesn't really matter too much and this can initiate our discussion here in Instructure And then just how important it is Today, I mean there's a lot of volatility in here in this order flow. So You know, we got a look for that clarity in here and I Mean there's just you know, there's a lot of liquidity down here 680 contracts 208 214 So I'm really we're watching this here and watching this context and relationship right now and we're trying to glean something from it and Right now. It's it's kind of kind of challenging. That's why we're going with structure Okay, and we'll continue on here and yeah, the structure is is still saying, you know sell side here as you guys can see There they go Okay, now this 680 let's watch this context here They are transacting. We also have an iceberg right at right at it Hey currently in the market Okay, they don't they very little 139 contracts traded here at 35 that was it They traded through these guys here though Okay, there's our buyers All right now they really have to lift it here now. There's there's the there's the trap or the the On the other side the liquidity here. Okay. All right buyers. Let's see it now Let's see if you can test up to here at 40 just looking for the test back up into Well, maybe 41 here Okay, and they're starting to pick up though Okay, they've traded down here. They didn't really they tangled with this 680 contracts down here at 35 But um, that was short lived Very very little traded down there Okay, so look look again though at this the negative structure is still holding Okay I got we got to cover that Now that is the topic here Of the webinar Uh, if we're still making lower lows in here or lower highs. I'm sorry and and lower lows We're just watching though We're waiting this kind of buying in here is good. We want to see that and we want to see that continuation here If that's going to happen if that scenario is going to play out here I'm looking for it. Um, I just We start to see some of this and we start to see some of this up in here looks pretty good Uh, it auctioned up here at 44. So I'm looking for it to return back to 44 Uh, just and we have these guys on the bid and they are getting filled in here And they didn't tangle with these guys down here at 35 So let's see if these buyers can come in again Okay, looking for the bid nothing on the bid here. This is not What we're looking for We're getting our buyers though up here at 39 or 40 Okay, so yeah Would love to see the bid really light up underneath And a stop run up into probably 44. That's what I'd love to see that Let's see it buyers This one thing again, not not high probability just because look at how dark this is underneath here And we know they got filled in here the buyers did now they got to move it And one of the great a very good way to move it is to show high liquidity underneath Hey to pull on the offer Add on the bid find these uh, uh aggressive Aggressive buyers in here. Here we go. Let's see it Now this is likely going to be a fast move So, uh, you know hold on hold on to your hats basically Okay, and it should be a nice stop run too There's a little bit on the bid and the reaction was buyers There's a little more on the bid reaction muted Some buying still still buying which is kind of curious what the what the structure here All right, let's see it buyers right here right now looking for that big green dot and the move up into 44 Uh And then also possibly back to the figure here 42 50 uh retest here. Let's zoom out and look at our bigger picture here Again, none of these are trade recommendations nor are they really high probability Sometimes it's so obvious and we know it's you know Very very likely going to go to an area And uh, it's it's doing it. It's doing it. Uh, but we really want to see it You know that bid that combination And um, there's some back and forth in here right now So even this look at this volume here compared to some of this volume over here Okay, we want to see this kind of volume over here in the current market And we're not we're not really getting that Right, so we're just noting these different things in here All right, uh, let me let me we're going to wait, uh, see how this plays out here I think we're going to get some back and forth, but uh, I want to go I need to go over the risk disclosure, uh, and um Also, I want to show you an event for uh for later today General disclosure all book map limited materials information and presentations are for educational purposes only and should not be considered specific investment advice nor recommendation Dations, uh risk disclosure trading futures equities and digital currencies involves the central risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results All right, so we got that Uh, that is important. Um, but let's take a look here at some of the other comments Yeah, last friday, jonathan, you said that Said look for the market move Up and the rest of the day maybe into monday. Yep, exactly Uh, it's happened friday. Um, oh exactly as I called it. Well, no, I mean, uh, boy Uh, it took all week for that to happen and and you can see the the volatility around this level here um, and and now it's not You know some sort of like a crystal ball no sturdoms type of uh, uh action in here It was just the order flow You know, we just noticed the order flow Uh, and we're noticing it now too. I mean, there's there's a lot of stuff going on in here, uh right now So this is uh, you know These larger players in here, they don't really know either. I mean, we're looking for it. We're waiting for it We're watching for it their actions in here And we noted that this volume over here is not the same as this Right, so so anyway, we didn't even get to 44. We did break this one. That's good Okay, um, but we got to get up here and we need to break this one now. It's poised To do that Or it's possible to do that because of the volume that transacted up here And some that traded up here too Okay, but uh, you know equally look at the volume down in here right, so uh And the structure in here now it broke the small small structure here The bigger structure is still bearish here. We did not break this one up here all right, so Uh, let's see here Trap shorts of the weak hands Trapping shorts on the weaker hands. Thank you, Michael see Well, okay, so a good question a major tom if it hits 44 will continue. That's what we need to see um, but what we know what to look for in that scenario Uh, and I mean well if if they're going to continue you're going to see some pretty massive buying up here Uh, we should at least Bigger probably bigger than these dots here and it'll probably go straight to it at least that's a scenario Uh, and we have to be open to that scenario All right, uh, I think like a retail trader don't act like one um Yeah, well the retail traders. I mean they're gonna be all I mean I think even the larger players are all caught up in this to be honest I think everyone's all caught up in this right now. Uh, it's very very sensitive Uh, and we can see that in the price action right now Uh, I think it's larger and smaller players I mean, you know, they're supporting it down here. Let's just zoom out Where's our 42 50 our 42 50s here? Yeah, I mean it's just all over the place I mean this is there's one thing that really stands out on this chart Then there's no question about that. This is heavy selling Okay, on the way down here down to 40 now We're trying to glean some sort of insight here at 40 and the only thing that we can glean right now Is market structure to be honest Okay, so and and that is what I wanted to cover in here So, um, let let's uh, let's take a look uh at the at the market structure and look at the can't We'll look at the candlesticks on the higher time frame now market structure We're going to take off these on the chart here And we're just going to look at uh best bid and offer Okay, uh, and um Here it is. Okay, so uh This is where you got your trap volume and and you typically see this, you know around the around the open You know one what goes one way or they you know, they're getting a better price Larger players are getting a better price up in this area here as they Also knock out people that were positioned pre-market And then just strong move away here. Okay, but look at the market structure here and let's get rid of our lines in here and Well, here's what we got right so strong move The the pullback here has been pretty weak And then we're looking for noticing just on the on the bid in here a lot getting filled So we're looking for our buyers here and we're looking for this structure to break So when we first came in the mart into this here, we're you know, here's here's 10 a.m And we're thinking well, okay auctioned up here pretty pretty high volume Uh, it pulls down You know the we make a lower low here. We get heavy volume down here And then we're looking though. It's like wow, you know, these buyers can come back in Try to move it back up here and if they can get back up above this We should get the nice move back up into like probably probably 50 40 to 50. I would imagine and But the structure here is telling us this is a really important element In I think in in trading in in general Doesn't matter if it's a structure of volume your volume profile. It doesn't matter If it's your candlestick structure, but just market structure And I think best bid and offer does a really good job of probably better than those other two methods here Because we can see all of the activity in here and all the nuances And yeah, here it is.  Okay, so we are making lower lows and lower highs That's and we came from a strong move here All right, so That that's fact Now let's take a look here Okay, so Let's see. Can we make an equal high here? Okay, so yeah I'd be looking for buyers to come in here actually and come back up because we made a higher low here And I know there's some volume in here. I I should probably take off the the bars and and be a little more objective um So we don't look at any volume Okay, but we need to come back up. This would be the first uh move here come back up above this structure or swing here And I'd be very very careful though here. This is where we need to see that massive volume We need to see that bid really light up and You know the larger players will move that market away from this area Quickly right because we have a volume or a value area in here And you know, we'd be looking for it to move quickly away from that area Right now you can see that We're starting to curl a little bit back down in here And this made a lower high still and so um Yeah, we're still I mean the structure is still negative It's still bearish This this one here a little slightly higher low in here Is a kind of interesting kind of watching that one here All right, and we're watching this as a potential trap here the swing here A lower swing Okay, but we can get like maybe a boost up above here and then Um This is where we want to be really careful here So like right now we can trade it on up basically not a trade recommendation But you can you start to see these moves and look for at least the test to these areas here That's pretty likely Okay, it's pretty likely um Now it's here though that we really want to pay attention because in here What you know, how many times have we seen like this kind of uh lower high swing it goes above it but into an area where there's um Sellers initiated the move here and then this is a false breakout above this high Okay, this is actually a really great setup to look for So you look for that spike above it and then then they move Continues to the downside now this one's a little different here because usually it's a that that swing We're talking about here is down here, you know somewhere around in here And then we're looking for the kind of spike above it and then the failure So the structure still remains the same but these are very close to each other right so And we know that they traded up here uh those those buyers and uh and We'll take a look and see what the buying was up here as well Okay, so here we are back up here now Like I said if you're looking for this Uh, and you think this is going to happen Okay, like maybe it starts to break out from this swing on up here You can scalp it back up into these areas and something to consider All right move your stop to break even take some off but hold for that larger potential move here Okay, so at least you take some off you're looking for that higher probability It's not much you're not getting much out of it. You know, you're getting a couple a couple of points or so But it's not that's not the The point of it here Is that you can trade it back up into these areas? Okay, but you know, that's where You know, you might consider Managing your trade very aggressively at that point All right So Anyway structure Yeah, just kind of made it equal high here. Maybe slightly higher So not much to not much to kind of glean from that at the moment um All right, let's see what else um Yeah, das das das that's a good question like um, uh, it's the order flow in here. We'll we'll see some sort of like um, a phenomenon here that usually It gives us some insight to this being a false breakout Okay, so we need to turn on the volume dots and bars and also that heat map to get some insight here and Not much insight. Okay, so Yeah, the trading up here not much to write home about we already knew that uh previously. This is much better though This is much better Okay, so the potential is there Okay, can you guys see the the distinction in here? Okay, so we're watching it Okay, maybe a bounce off of 39 high volume node or Somewhere around in here Yeah, not much not much to really hang our hats on right now. Um, yet again, this is much better here than previously Uh, but um, uh, you know, this is still just range bound You know We can see sellers bring it back down to you know, somewhere around here and make a slightly higher They made a slightly higher high. Maybe they'll make a slightly higher low in here They are bidding up underneath here So still still not much to to write home about right now We're trying to get some sort of insight here though Uh, and just talking talking through the the order flow Yeah, we can take a look at the v path v poc in here Dostos, I don't know what else to say about the, um, uh, false breakout or breakdown Um You know look for the trap. I know there is some stuff we can talk about actually um Yeah, we look for the the the trap. Um, we'll see we'll probably see an example in here There's a couple examples in here. They're they're not the cleanest though Why do I trade the es well most people want to look at johnny that want to look at the es No, it's super liquid No, it's it's yeah, and and that's why you get all these kind of you know pull backs and and retests and reversals, etc Okay, dug. Thanks, dug. You got something in there for, uh Potential hero Kickoff long setup If aggressive buyers and stop order start to fuel the move higher. Yeah. Yeah Let's take a look here This is what dug uh guys. This is over in our discord if you want to come come over and take a look there Doug had posted this Doug looks at a lot of options okay, so He's just noticing that a lot of the uh the buying in here the the triangles here is 21 000 2000 1000 3000 2000 and we can see heroes starting to spike. It's this green line, right? Yeah, so it's your green line here So there's a lot of option or a lot of hedging Of the options. So they are buying futures here to hedge it Hey, this is another thing that can give us a lot of insight Hey, that's from spot gamma Uh guys, I just since I'm not seeing much in here yet um You know and on fridays too like, you know, boy, we can look for something uh Some really big Uh Trapped volume it looks like it really wants to go one way and then watch it go the other way and then The rest of the day it will just grind that direction Okay, so I mean there's a lot of kind of uh People on edge here. I think within all of this area here There's just buying and selling all over the place Yeah, yeah, uh, thanks major tom. Yeah, they they pulled down here These guys are no longer in here All right. Well, then let's let's see if we uh, let's see if we can get the They're pulling up here as well. Let's see if we get buyers here Maybe that maybe uh, this market is getting ready here. They're on the bid here That's good. We've got to get these buyers in here Just being on the bid doesn't doesn't matter. It's these buyers here And this is perfect in here. Uh, if we get those buyers, this is perfect We're above the point of control And we just need to see a ton of buying up here to move it away from the point of control Okay, that scenario is certainly not unfolding at the moment Okay back to point of control. Uh, yeah, what I wanted to show, um here So there was a request, uh for um on our youtube page Or for an event. Uh, we did the heat map uh webinar A week or two ago, uh, so it was suggested to do one on on trading volume. So it's at 2 p.m. Uh today Okay, so east east coast time if you guys want to come to that, uh, it's in our discord room and, uh Here on youtube as well Here i'll i'll put the link into the chat for you guys Hold on Yeah, yeah, that all of these are saved. Um, uh, nick Just if you want to come to it'll be live analysis um We always try to do live analysis Guys, I just don't see any edge in here I really don't look at this I mean there's buyers in here There's a little bit more buying in this very very narrow range in here And that's about it Here we go okay now Boy, I don't know. I I just I just don't see anything. I think what's going to have to happen here Is we got to get one big event to unfold and then the opposite to to uh to happen later Or immediately after Okay, so we can talk about some of these I guess so we'll we'll cover maybe some of the false breakdowns. Um So and maybe we'll get one right now. Um, let's let's see here. Okay. Here come our sellers All right, so now sellers. This is heavy selling Looking for them to drive it away here. All right. So, uh, yeah, yeah, I would look for this. This is uh, Let's see. It's only three points right now. It's kind of in that in that range here Uh, but uh, here are the two scenarios we're looking for All right, the sellers drive in it away Okay, now see equal buying coming right back that negates all of that In fact, it's even greater buying in here. Okay now because of that Let's get back up to point of control more buying and then I think the buyers have it here. This is your false breakdown right here Okay So now we're looking for our buyers up here. We're looking for there was a stop run to the downside Okay, so I I originally thought they're going to continue to move it and then all of this buying came right back in Okay, so this is uh, kind of what we were talking about the this this false kind of move get people going Uh, and then watch it grind here. Okay, so now back to 44 Uh, and uh, maybe we can get up into 42 50 now Okay, is there enough buying pressure to sustain that? Uh, let's let's uh, let's watch this here Okay, so we got up to here and Just a small pull back at the moment Okay buyers, let's see it. You're gonna move it away. Here we go. Let's see it looking for it Hey, 44 That's enough to get a lot of people off sides here. So Yeah, I would I would look for this move to 44 Again, not a trade recommendation. I gotta say that This is an order flow reading room and what we're um We're kind of answering Dostos's question here about what does a false breakdown look like And look at the structure in here. So, uh This was the breakdown here on heavy volume heavy cell volume But it didn't really break the structure the lows here note these guys in here providing liquidity at the, uh, most traded level here And no selling buyers They should be able to lift it Should be able to lift it here and there's The bid starting to show a bit more and we should looking for our stop run above it here above Above here above 44 Just not finding them. It's still not finding the buyers up here Nick. Yeah, I mean like I was actually selling or Was that actually selling or stops being triggered? It's both You can see the big stop run here We can go in and take a look at it now see see the selling in here again like Yeah, and there's even more But if buyers can get back up above it watch the stop run Okay, up into 45 This would be the trap in here And looking for there's our big green dot Okay, now it's only up to here, but that's good Boy, in fact, it's a slightly lower high, but That's it Okay, one more one more retest come on buyers. We can get back up here at 43 and a half Guys anyway, look about the okay, so even in this move in here that we can talk more about this I got to get to the structure that we I promise to go over. Um, however I Dostos you brought up a good question.  You can see it in the dots. Hey, we noted it in real time Therefore we're looking for the higher move This is the trap Okay, and they haven't even come near these guys yet Okay, all of this in here and these guys did get filled down here as well um, and You know, so we're looking for the move higher now um, what we want to look for In this move higher is that strong consistent buying like here Okay, because they moved it away from all of this selling pretty nicely a strong and consistent buying on the way up Okay in here. It's not it's there's still more buyers at these higher highs, right? But they're selling in here too Okay, that strong move then we're looking for a shallow pullback in continuation or at least back up to the high Uh in the structure In the volume and in the structure Uh now when it's not that strong What you can what you'll see a lot of times is you'll see this kind of volume It's not the greatest example. However, what we're looking for Is where we get, you know, maybe some volume in here not that strong move But there's a lot of selling in here then you can look for the the the false breakout Okay, so it's these guys that are trapped in here. That's where the strong volume took place Okay, so if we can get our strong selling down here, they can move it away from that area Okay, uh, so let me I'll try to you know Show you the example here. So the strong buying kind of this is where I would look for a retest actually Back here by the sellers Okay, back to this kind of 41 in a quarter area here We're right there We're already there Okay, now a question is can they move it below these guys or the are the buyers going to come in initiate again Are they going to start buying again? Now this is this is a nuance in here, but it's really important to understand Okay, the the stronger moves in here. That's what we're really talking about is the stronger moves Uh, and um, uh where they are so look again here strong buying Here's a pullback a little bit below where they kind of initiated, but followed by strong buying Okay, so look look we come back down here again. Look again. See the strong buying in here okay now Up in here. We're starting to note something though. Now. I know this is all hindsight and it's not it's This is not easy In in hindsight, you know, I've yeah, it's easy as can be however, you know, there's still more buying in here So we and we know that they're buying off of this level Okay, but when we start to notice maybe Lower highs in here and strong selling which we don't see that right now You know, it's some selling in these little pockets in these areas here, which we don't see You know, we're still looking for this to go higher Okay, instead we get the sellers that that that moved it away But they they just moved it down to the swing and then that strong buying came in once again Okay, so this is what we want to note and we want to note the context Back to those areas here. Okay, so now do we see that up in here? No Right Okay, we're seeing it actually here now Okay, so The likely move now is down Okay down to lows of the day and continuation now Watching for it Okay, so let's these guys are starting starting to move it down to the low And now we're looking for a strong selling now Now Let's take a look at that strong selling this let's uh Kind of analyze it here And be consistent with it here Okay, this selling in here not pretty good pretty good in here too Okay, well, it's not and it is consistent and the point move is good These these red dots in here and we're talking when we talk about the size of red dots and I know it sounds not so Uh Scientific but it is relative volume Okay, look at the relative volume of the buying coming in right now Okay, so that that makes this all much more convoluted all of a sudden Okay, it's the it's this relative volume in here Yeah, I know it doesn't it really like it doesn't sound uh all that scientific But here again see see see where that volume took place in here and then here's where the buyer is trying to move it away Okay, all we've done now is retest back to that area here Okay, so is this going to turn into a trap here? if so Then we're looking for buyers to move it back up to here where these sellers dropped it 41 Okay, or maybe even here 40 40 41 um Yeah, I don't think we have any intention Alan to uh to come up with Fibonacci retracements. Uh, thank you um Camarilla you want to look at gold? Uh and cumulative volume of delta. Okay Well, that's I don't want to turn my head away from this here Uh, something's gonna move uh, and it's likely gonna happen pretty soon Okay, here the here come the sellers here Okay, so now These sellers the strong selling down in this area here And that strong buying in here these guys Are likely not stopped out. These guys are going to get stopped out in here Okay, so I I would still I would give it I would give the nod here to the sellers. I think they got it I think all of this up here. We should see a very very strong Uh stop run to the downside here Okay, and this could turn into our really strong move that we're looking for Okay, so now how do you position yourself for something like that? Okay, well, um You know somewhere in here. Maybe maybe you get a slight pull back in here. It's tricky. It's really tricky stuff We're looking for insight here and getting in down here is just a horrible entry You know and It's it that buying could come in and try to do that that trap above the kind of 37 and a half here Is tricky. I don't know I I like to take a look at this in here, uh and uh Trade it down to that area Try to take some off and then hold it Look for if and if it does move I look look for pull backs and try to get back into it again And then I've caught the strong move. I'm looking for All right Something like that. That's one one method here Yes, uh burt when look that liquidity pulled at at 42 35. Does that mean it's easier or likely? Uh to go there because the magnet is gone. How do you interpret it? Um, well, again, I think it's just that it's that context here. So here's our 35 level in here Uh, it pulled but they came down and tested just around there Uh, and then we saw the buying in here. So it's really, you know, I mean the context in here On this uh in this limited order book, uh is um Not telling us too much in here when this kind of action happens It's hard to interpret right now The magnet here, uh the attraction to this liquidity, uh is gone. Uh, but um It also, uh, it means that uh Sellers can't reach these buyers any longer. All right. Well still still looking here sell side Okay, looking for a test down to this liquidity 30 31 33 Let's see the point move here The point move below the swing here is actually what we want to look at and it's not much 36 down to 33. It's again three points, right? That puts us in that range where we just don't know When we see it move like uh five four five s and p points Um on on a strong consistent move Uh, then that's pretty good We look there, you know, we we start to look at these those areas that the Larger players are moving in a way uh from a value area Challenging day. Yep. I agree, michael Nice to put your feet up and watch Yeah, yeah, I have my feet to fire. Uh, well, I mean look the easiest that I just learned over the years um Read the order flow Just whatever the chart is telling us read it. Uh, and uh, and don't be Uh bias You know look if if you have a bias, it's kind of in the back of your mind. You're looking for the order flow to support it Okay, the more objective you are reading the order flow and what the participants are telling us in the auction Uh, the the easier the job is Uh, and it likely plays out that way Uh, the way that you that you you're looking for it to play out Okay, because you you're reading you're reading the participants Okay, and and in this in here was was really challenging to read that the Participants buyers up your sellers down here I mean the structure is lower high But then we even even the structure started to change a little bit. Here's your higher low. Here's your higher low Uh, here's a slightly not kind of equal high and then this is equal high as well And I don't think it broke it Uh, and then the sellers come in Down to this area sellers come in again Okay, so anyway, let's kind of recap a little bit on something and and it and then I want to get to what I promised to get to here And and again the recap the recap here would be on that trap volume Okay, and understanding the stronger moves and making the distinction between the stronger moves And then like that strong volume But it's not really a strong move Okay, that's where uh with the trap can can occur here. So we can look at a range in here, for example, and um What if what if we get buyers back up above it here? That's the trap Right, so there's your strong selling, but it doesn't matter Strong selling is at the end of the uh of the move here And it can get upended And there's our strong selling but into high liquidity Okay, well the transaction took place Okay, now look at even this move in here Okay, let's just see this. Let's see. Are we going to continue here? Uh making lower lows for the day Okay, now here's your trap potential trap above here Okay, look at look at this volume in here. Look at them on the bid already Okay, so now Uh, here's a way to take a look at it If we get that buy volume up here above the area We're looking for a move first to point of control of this range Probably about here or where these sellers initiated These are tradable events look into it study it, but these are tradable events Okay, and they can be very high probability events Uh, and you can still be I mean, it's a it's a countertrend move here Okay, even top of the range here other side of the range Okay, it's something you'll have to study uh and look for uh and In the order flow what can really help in here is the bid is strong And the reaction is uh is buyers Okay, because the liquidity on the offer is up here 36 36 and a half All right, so let's see if this trap plays out or if we get continuation to the downside Okay, let's see it buyers. You got it Starting to build some volume here And the funny thing about the trap is it can take all of this effort to move this market down And it doesn't take a whole lot to to uh squeeze it right back up Okay, there's our squeeze Okay, so and and we're just looking for up to here Okay, so Somewhere around in here 33 boy. These are small trades guys. It's not it's not given us much A couple different ways to to consider managing it um Boy, I'd be stopped out right now At break even on that I would not Sit through this It might still do it But uh, I would move my stop to break even on that. I just you know if the sellers get below this area here We have the potential for the move down and I don't want to be part of that that event So we're talking about trade management in here With this kind of order flow trap volume event See it's just better to stay away from this kind of stuff Hey, there's the dump Down into 31 Oh boy. Yeah, I mean that the the market structure is uh Um, I mean here's our strong move here Uh, and but we were looking for that potential pull back to about 42 50 Okay, and that scenario, but yeah, I would agree. Um, but you know the bigger move here, uh is um Move down sideways consolidation move down This is this is true. I mean that that little move back up into here, uh is tricky as well Um just because of this in here Someone came in and just dumped it So the same same move happened on Nasdaq. This is stop run as well large iceberg Well, uh, I shouldn't say that Uh in that time frame it is Okay, guys. Well now now it's getting a lot clearer, huh? So yeah, not the not the greatest read on that. Um, and you know, I thought I thought it was uh, I thought it was tricky. Um We saw these sellers come in but, uh Boys it was looking good for these buyers up here and once we got once we got below here We were really kind of watching in here, but this is where it just got tricky in here Looking again for a trap. All right. We outlined the trap Okay, but sellers still in it And again trap, you know come back up into here. Nope This is where it got up ended right here and uh, that's that's That's that's hard to read Okay, and then they've set the tone and direction now Uh, this this move here Yeah, it's a good point. Oh boy. I I'm I'm with you. I mean like, uh, this is this will I think, um start to Play nicely into what what we um have here as uh understanding market structure and candlesticks Uh in the continuation. Well now the continuation move here Okay, so now now this is the the stronger move like this. This is good consistent buying or selling Into these lower areas of liquidity Okay, and it really started here with these were harder. I thought although the structure Look and that that's why I wanted to cover structure Uh, and we should just go over structure again and again and again such an important part To understand we understand structure. We're like halfway there And then it's it's the order flow with the the volume and then also the Uh, the order book okay, so um Let's let let's let's take a step back here. Uh, and um Yeah, we got another 15 minutes or so before the european close And I I don't see any any buyers coming in yet So this is the grinding move we talked about once the direction is set and it just continues to grind And oh boy had some good insight there Okay, pullbacks are gonna happen, you know likely we're getting our pullback now Um, you know, maybe right back up into 30 here Uh, the first one here. This is why we look at these swings in the pullbacks here The first one is here Can you get buyers back up above it? We'll go to the next one here or or here Okay, the next one is here at 29 and then 30 But this move from here on down 33 to you know 25. I mean, this is a big move All right, they've set the tone and direction Okay, so now, you know, are we going to build some profiles out in here on some of the pullback? Are we going to just like go back and forth in here for a while or are we going to start to trend? anyway, um Let's Take a look at our bigger candlestick chart here Okay, so this was Last No, here it is Uh, 42 50 here. This was friday Right in here last friday one week ago Uh, monday or yeah, it was monday. We had the retest of 42 50 and we got more buyers back up above it making higher highs Uh, see see the um, here's the here's that trap or the same concept On the on the much higher time frame In fact, we gap down into that area and now we're below it All right, this concept is the same here. This is the hourly chart Here's here's the selling down below it driving it away. Okay on this hourly chart, then yeah, I'd be looking for probably down to here 4208 or 4200 the figure Okay, this hourly chart. Let's just look at A look back of one week Yeah, here's that that move higher and now the the lower move below 42 50 This looks great. I mean we you know, this is why it's so important to look at your higher time frame in your structure Uh, let's look at our daily over here on the left Here's our 4200 right here. This is a great area There's even a little wiggle in here and then the continuation on up And that little wiggle in there is due to this swing high back on May end of may Okay, so we'll be watching that How we watch this whole thing unfold. Uh, we were looking for the Came back in august Uh after uh after vacation We're looking for the move back up and to test these areas in here I truly thought that we would what we would see up here is a spike above it And then the continuation back down lower. Nope The other scenario played out. We spiked above it here and we got continuation Okay, and then uh, let me draw up the line in 42 50 in here as well There's a horizontal line Okay All right, and then you can see it here pretty nicely. So yeah, I really like this area here For a retest right now, and I think we can get it today. This is a pretty pretty big, uh, Red candle and continuation just down just down to this area here. So, you know 42 That's about 30 points away 28 points away right now Okay, anyway, that's a higher time frame outlook and guys, this is this is the trap up here This is what we're talking about same idea same concept And then the the the gap is is illustrating that pretty nicely in here And then let's look at our 15 minute chart on the right Yeah, if we get any pullbacks, it's likely back to you know structure or the bottom of the structure here at 34 35 and then Yeah continuation to the downside at least that 15 minute chart, you know something like that And it's already retested there a few times during this webinar And then now we're getting the pull away So Maybe we'll just get continuation. So let's let's look at the order flow And see what's going on Okay, so anyway like uh Yeah, here's our pull back to 30. Okay, we're still bearish though All right It's because of this well, we saw this whole move initiate. It was right here It was this guy here Okay, there's an iceberg in there that's getting filled on the way back up into it right in here Okay So look at this. This is a this is a pretty nasty move here guys and and I think I should have zoomed in here earlier To show this This is something you can take away. All right. Um, I think would be is very helpful to understand here We have a stop run. Okay, then let's take a look at the stops. How many are stops in here? Okay, so let's turn on our stops Okay, this is a really this is the critical point All right, so I'll wait for our stops. There it is. Okay, so 108 all right 108 are stops now the stops are actually getting filled here So although it looks like it's some massive stop run Uh, this is an aggressor dumping moving price away. Maybe they're they're exiting and and uh, but I really doubt it I think this is moving it away from the area hitting some stops. Here's why Look at how nasty this move is. All right. Now. This is where you're going to get some edge here with order flow Right boy. I should have gotten over it earlier But this is I mean this has its fingerprints all over it here They're dumping moving price away back on the bid After the move down here after the stop run here On the bid absorbing with an iceberg and we're not talking a small iceberg here Okay, that's 1829 Okay contracts Right all the way to here fully executed iceberg Absorbing as much as they can fully executed. Uh, and then let's see how how it doesn't even go against them Or it goes one tick or two ticks against them That was it. Okay It's a nuance on the chart, but it means everything We couldn't get any clarity. This is pretty clear. I I believe I will you know, I'll tweet this out or or do something with it But this is a big event here And this is why scott looks at these kinds of big events like this as well Hey, they moved it away from that area. All right, so let's mark it up All right, so this is such a big event All right, are these guys going to get tested by uh, uh by buyers here? Let's take a look. Here's where that iceberg took place 31. Uh, here's where they they dumped it here at 33 Okay, and that cost them a lot of money to dump it um Because we know We zoom in here 108 or stops only 108 are stops. Okay, we'll look at the volume here I don't know how much that adds up to uh, but uh, you know, this is this is going to be I don't know a thousand or something And this event took place in Well, it started here Okay at eight eight ten Okay to nine, uh 990 or so Well, this is so 990. Okay.  Let's take a look at what happens if we get back to that area here Okay, because that's the important area Yeah, it's pulled back there Okay, well it if that's it and they set the tone here Uh, let's see if the other players follow suit. Uh, they're on the offer here. We're starting to find some sellers Okay, if we get sellers here looking for the move back down to here or here Okay, deck down to 27 26 and a half Okay sellers here we go We should get our move or looking for a move to unfold down to 26 and a half All right guys. Well anyways in this uh, in this webinar here, this is the best thing we've seen so far Was that move uh, and that happened in 200 milliseconds Okay, that's given us the most clarity um What I wanted to cover uh in this webinar, so I'm covering it at the end of the webinar here. Um, What I wanted to cover in here, uh is um Looking at candlesticks. Okay, uh on and structure in areas here Uh, and then we know that there's wicks up here. So we know there's sellers up here We know there's buyers down here. There's wicks here. Uh, and then um, you know, here's the the the same idea Same concept of the the sellers moving it away from that area here Okay, it was just a tough read. There were some wicks in here went back and forth and then finally we got to read From that guy around 30 30 to 32 or so right or 33 so somewhere around in here, uh and you know that uh I feel set the tone here But we're looking at the structure in here, which is very range bound very choppy. There's wicks on both sides here Okay Now what we're looking for in book map is order flow around these areas in here Okay, and also the most traded level at the point of control Okay, and who's going to take control and oh boy, you know pointed out or we did too as well early But the overall move is is is below the 42 50 Uh, and uh, it's pretty strong. It was pretty strong selling Uh, the open was here You know slightly moved higher and then boom Down below this area here 42 50 Okay, so this took a week to work out Uh, and it was all sorts of shanigans up here all week long And we were waiting for this probably well, we were waiting for it on monday to unfold and we just kept going higher So, uh, anyway, that's the structure reading on this smaller time frame here Uh, and the move away from structure Okay, now, uh, we can take a look also at the, um structure in here and Let's turn the on chart Icebergs off It stops in icebergs, uh, and the structure in here Okay, and we can look at candles in here as well But the structure in here is the downtrend, uh, and then the open is here Right around in here, uh Slightly moved higher did break this uh small structure here, but this is the false breakout Uh, and then look look at here. Um, again same same ideas This is where they broke out from this previous little area in here On some pretty strong buy volume And now we're looking for pretty strong sellers below that area Okay, so let's look at this because this is also another just beautiful kind of Uh trap area in here. Okay, typically we see our, um Flips of the order book in here things like that. Uh, they're on the offer Uh, uh up in these areas here. They're on the bid here. Uh, and then Uh trade on through this area here on strong volume. Uh, and then they're on the offer Okay, looking for pullbacks In the continuation here. Okay, so you can see that kind of behavior in here on the bid on the offer here Okay in here All right, so we look for this kind of liquidity here to to trade even the s and p had some crazy stuff going on here Right before the market Look at this all of these, um Uh traders lined up Okay, layering in at these different price levels here before the open Okay, this does I don't I don't get any clarity out of this to be honest Yesterday we saw something in gold that Uh, it was very clear Okay, so it's kind of a spoof on the on the offer and then heavy liquidity on the bid like this But very heavy like uh and on multiple layers. Okay, so getting filled in here a bit Um, but trying to trying to get priced to to go lower and then and then get the price to move up higher Okay, so anyway, that's This one's this one's a hard read um in this s and p here. They're they're on both sides So who knows? It's a hard hard to understand Um, the spoof is a pretty easy thing to to uh grasp You know skew that skew that order book Um, I get people to uh drive drive price away from it because there's massive supply Have them get filled in icebergs or get filled down in lower liquidity here. That's less than this very high liquidity in here Uh, and um Then pull all these orders and let price float back up after they get filled Okay, and then get and then start getting filled here on the offer Uh Let's see. Where are we now? Okay, well this structure that we saw noted in here As being important Is uh, they're still in control here Okay, they're being tested Okay, let's let's see it So they're coming up to test exactly where these guys dropped it from volume's not bad On the buy side and again Look at look at this up here Watch the sellers push it back down to here or here All right, there's our trap Okay, and we know the larger players up here All right, so Looking for this event here Uh looking for uh, I like this point of control move down to point of control and see if they can push it through that down to lows All right, so Yeah, here's your pullback right now. We're looking for the continuation. So here's your pullback Around this 31 looking for our sellers here Looking for point of control and I want to see them push through this 28 50 here And I said I'd put this on so let's put it on Point of control Actually point of control is up higher here. Sorry about that point of control of this little range in here And let's see it sellers. Let's see you push through this And take control of this market again back down to lows and try to break the lows into 25 and below Okay, they're on the offer. We're starting to see them And now now we're looking for them to push through okay, so not guys, we'll we'll go through it again here on the Uh market structure and candles um, it's hard to uh You know we covered some of it and I tried but this has really been about kind of difficult reads today and trap volume And then understanding this larger player move here And Yeah, next time I'll zoom into those so we can look at those earlier in detail Because it actually it was a very tough. I thought it was kind of a tough read to look at all these different things And and then once we saw that kind of clarity That shift away here that that's where you know, we have something that was the best thing so far so um And that does provide us clarity Okay, now the the the one thing the beauty of that is like, you know your footprint chart I saw moss had a comment on footprint chart Uh and where volume's trading etc. But you're just like that kind of transparency Is is tough to is tough to see uh, or you're just not going to be able to see it on your footprint chart okay, so Yeah, I know a plug a plug for book map Yet, you know, you're not you're just not going to see it and and look what kind of uh clarity or insight that this offers here to us Okay, even this pull back in here. We're going okay We're sellers all the way through this area here We're looking for that trap volume in here. We're looking for the stop to the downside here Uh the push through that point of control Okay, and we're still looking for it. Here's another pullback. This is a pullback to your point of control. Well No, I'm sorry. It's uh the the most traded levels here. We're right at it here at 28 at 28 50 buyers trying to get back up there again And and and they're they're doing it. They're able to this is where the sellers came in and dropped it though Okay, still still looking for our sellers This is uh kind of funny. They're they're pulling here on the on the offer and uh adding on the bid though trying to squeeze Squeeze the sellers in here And successfully doing it Okay, back up here Okay, again looking for sellers below 30 here Is this traded back up here? This is another beautiful little trap in here all right sellers Now this is what I was talking about, you know looking for some sort of order flow event like sellers starting to come in the offer Starting to come in and you can trade it back down to 30 Or point of control Or high volume node And then look for the continuation. Okay, so this is this is talking about market structure Uh and and volume within it. Okay sellers. Let's see it Yeah, Thor. I mean this whole thing is new for you. Yeah Um Well, yeah, yeah, I would suggest that let me show you I think might be helpful for you Uh, if you guys are new in here, um This education is very different than you know looking at a few indicators in your candlestick charts I was trying to the the idea today was to go over the structure and then to uh look at um The candles as well To to bridge that Uh, and we just saw a whole bunch of other things and it was a little bit challenging The um, let me show you here though. Like you can go to bookmap.com Click on the more button here And then go to education or you can go directly here to education as well on on the uh toolbar That'll scroll down the main page here and then go to education here Uh, and uh, this is kind of a uh, a nice little onboarding Area what you learn and then the course content here. So parts one Just basic bookmap basics getting started The educational course though parts one and two talking about market mechanics and microstructure And what makes the market move? This is essential and and I I would suggest take a look at this the these first two here And understand what makes the market move and and forget your your education previously Here we go guys. So the the buyers are they're still just Coming right back to test that that that major player here I'm still looking for the sellers to support it. Okay, and so for the move back down here to 2850 again Okay, now the order flow is not really It's uh, this is where buyers can get you in trouble But uh the order flow here they're they're on they got filled here on the offer and now they're starting to pull on the bid Okay, so some tricky stuff Okay, but we know where that larger player is Okay, so I'm still looking for him to sell more This is a deal for him to get more on And look for the continuation lower anyway back to the um The page here Yeah, just clear your mind kick back watch parts one and two and try to absorb The education or what we're talking about because it's very different But once you understand the mechanics of the market and what makes it move Then you'll be able to apply any kind of strategy to it And what what you're looking at and what you're thinking You know if it's volume profile. Well, yep that profile is going to have a whole new meaning Uh, if it's candlesticks, it's going to have a whole new meaning here. Let's take a look at some candlesticks quickly in here Okay, and we'll look at uh, this is a five minute. I think yeah um All right, we can start with a five minute Well, here's here's this big down move uh up move here here above this here Okay I mean we see these wicks All right, but this wick above here. What if we get sellers in your candlestick in here We're looking we're waiting. We're watching for our sellers around here around this kind of 31-ish area here and They're still still pushing it higher here Okay, so when is this guy going to get more size on in here? Maybe up here Maybe up here 36 This is going to be a squeeze Hey, maybe maybe a mean reversion back to point of control 40 I mean these these mean reversion traders are no joke. They will take it back You could take it could come all the way back here. Um, and uh, and you could still be bearish Uh, I'm looking more for just about here But I'm I'm also looking for this guy to support his his his trade here Obviously it moved the market and affected the market So when's that going to happen again? So we'll move back to about here 35 or 36 or 40 Uh, and then looking for the uh, uh the sellers here Okay, we just haven't seen in fact the order flow has been supporting the move up On this here. We're waiting and watching for that and and uh putting in these areas here for that, uh That move lower. Hey with this one we saw I I thought we'd come back down in 26 and 24 at that point We came back up above it. The pivot point here was our 30 level Okay, the batter bash above it bash below it, etc Okay, now european close is unfolded. Uh, and uh Let's see if we can get uh, maybe the uh continuation here move back down to the downside Hey again looking at This up here Okay, and then sellers moving it away A break of the trend line And let's wait till this candle closes here So it's kind of come up to that swing basically Uh, and uh, yeah, I would be looking for the move back into the range here Uh on the candlestick Okay, and that would be it would likely be right around 31 or so Back into here and then the continuation Let's see if we can maybe we can spot that that larger player. Is he getting on more size in here is getting filled Let's turn on our what about our icebergs Not really Okay sellers, let's see it now. Let's see if you can do it They cannot Not yet No, no still pushing higher. All right guys. Well, anyway, let's uh, we'll wrap it up here. Um the the buyers are Above this uh larger player That we had uh marked up Uh in this zone in here Okay, and and there's there uh buying even more they took this uh 35 on this liquidity here 36 Okay, so uh, we're back up to the top now We can look at our candlestick chart too back to the top of where uh, or the bottom of the range here Okay on a pullback, but the the larger move here was to the uh to the downside in here okay, so Uh The mean reversion is playing out really nicely here. It's even gaining momentum here Uh Now here here's the move to this area here Okay, so right here is where they dropped her from All right. Yeah market really wants it really wants this these mean reversion traders boy and we see them come in again and again like this, but uh I'm very curious uh up here and we'll leave it at that Tom B is going uh for the last 20 minutes or so Uh, so uh, you guys can jump over there and he'll cover this mean reversion Uh, and what's going on around this area here since he's a volume profile trader. So tune into that guys, uh, and um I'm really curious to see what happens up here because you can still be quite sell side here at this Point of control Okay, uh, and uh, are they going to get more size on reload here and look for that move back down lower Uh, and looking for our trap volume Uh in specific areas again like looking at the structure Uh, and um, I mean these structural areas in here. This is a from 35 up to 39. So this is like four points uh It's um, I'm still looking for this to uh You know a mean reversion and then to move back down to test these buyers here And then try to get back down into the the uh the trend here Okay, but um Anyway tough session, uh Very curious around this point of control here to see what kind of unfolds and let's go over to YouTube hold on a minute here If I see a squeeze going yeah, floyd, um, I I would I would jump in it and look look for it. Um, but um Yeah, and in this case that would that you know I I don't know if I would have here. I would I was really leaning hard on that larger player But the order flow was telling us. I mean they were pulling on the bid Or on the offer adding on the bid and we're finding buyers I just thought we'd see a quick trap like we have all session long And then look for a trend continuation Well, thanks mark. Yeah, glad you liked it um Well, you know, I actually uh, I thought the whole week was um rather Challenging to be honest because it Uh, it kept on going higher price kept on going higher Uh, it would go lower and then just go higher and higher and kept pushing and pushing higher um, and Then, you know, it at a certain point that's gonna break and that's where you know, I was just so curious today is like, uh, pretty excited today Uh, be or even last night. I saw the move starting lower and it's like, oh, yeah, this is we're going down to the 42 um, the overnight session. Um, I saw the quick move. Um Or the strong candles in the overnight um So I was looking for this move down to the 42 50 and below and below Right. So, uh, here's what's going on in the structure here in the 15 minute chart You can see the move to the the middle of the range or the point of control here We're starting to already find our sellers in here Okay, now. I'm just really curious. Did they get some size on is what I want to know Uh, and uh, do we see that larger player come in yet again and this looks like him? Let's take a look Okay, do we see an iceberg in here? No, we don't we don't see that that wicked move Heavy selling and then followed by an iceberg in here Okay, so that's kind of funny or curious So not the same tactic here, but we do see the move lower here And a stopper and in fact they're buying icebergs in here Okay, ben. So yeah, you're looking at your euro stocks All right. Well, did this guy shift the market again in here? Uh, this move lower I mean, it's a beautiful move to point of control. No question about that. It's almost it's perfect Right, and we are lower and we are lower. All right guys Let's uh, let's leave it at that if you if you like the video, please give me a thumbs up You know, uh, that helps us we can do more of these. Uh, look for the event later, uh, the um YouTube event will have it to 2 p.m. And we'll we'll go over more of the order flow too But uh, we're going to talk about the volume dots Uh, how to read them, uh, in all the different settings and filtering for the volume dots in here, so, um Yeah, looking forward to that. It was requested We did the heat map one and a candlestick one over the last A few weeks or so. So we'll go over that and We'll see you too All right, so a good trading out there and we'll see what kind of unfolded here as well We'll kind of recap what happened in the in the webinar.

Kristian Klegi, Apostle Anslem Madubuqo and Sam Nigerians wan the next president of Nigeria to be elected based on competence rather than religion or ethnicity. Their reaction is coming after the statement by the Muslim rights concern demanding a Yoruba Muslim for president come 2023. The center of Uku has more. The Muslim rights concern in Murik is pushing for a Yoruba Muslim president in 2023. Its argument is that no Yoruba Muslim has ever occupied the top seat at Asorok villa either as president or vice president since Nigeria's independence in 1960. The director of Murik, Professor Ishaka Kintola told me on the phone that Muslims in the south west have been marginalized and that they need to be in power to address their issues. The Muslims are interested in the leadership of this country particularly the Yoruba Muslims. We are surely interested because we are suffering. They are persecuting us in the south west. They are humiliating our women, our wives, our mothers. They are intimidating our daughters in the schools. We are not free. Even though president Muhammad Bwari is a Muslim, Professor Akintola is of the opinion that he doesn't understand the plight of southern Muslims. The current president is a Muslim but he doesn't know what is happening in the south west. He doesn't know how much we are being oppressed. We are saying now we want to get it through politics. On the contrary, a post to Afslema Madubuqu, the general vice-chair of the revival assembly church, believes true leadership is indetermined by religion. We better know that Nigeria is so bad. We've not been this bad. So we need God and competent hands to stay back to life. And then apart from that, they've had a movement for 80 years. So what else do they want again? President should be a Christian if we have to now go by that. Some Nigerians on the streets of Lagos agreed with him. We have a Christian who is also compatible. I mean there's no issue with that. I don't think the religion or even the ethnic group should play a part. Patience matters. Uruz, the nation depends on its competence. Particular people come from a very good background. They have a lot of masses in the desert. It might be a Muslim, it might be a Christian. While there are lots of arguments and preferences to who or where the president should come from, the ball is in the court of citizens to decide Nigeria's number one public officer come 2023.

A common concern is about sharing our ideas with colleagues, with peers, before we launch them is, okay, what if I share my idea, maybe it's through a market research conversation or just, you know, we're connecting with a peer and we're, we're discussing what we're working on and I'm working on this particular this potential program launcher, or or book launch or whatever and then we're concerned that now that they have the idea they're like, oh, that's a really good idea and then they take it and run with it. So, first of all, I have heard of this happening multiple times over the years. People have come to me and says, I shared an idea with with a colleague and acquaintance, sometimes even a friend, and they launched the thing before, before I did. And I get it, it feels, it doesn't feel great. And there probably needs to be a conversation, especially if you had shared the idea with them. And they, when you shared the idea with them. They weren't saying, Oh, my gosh, I'm thinking of the exact same thing I was about to launch it to there probably needs to be a convert I mean, for the sake of the friendship or the connection.  It's interesting because I remember that we just had that conversation a month ago and I had mentioned that I was thinking of launching it so I just wanted to, to kind of clear the air because now I'm not sure if I launch it it would look like I'm copying you. I certainly don't don't have that intention. And so this is really important. There are launches like yours happening all the time. Because we have, we have no, we have very little understanding, I mean, just because we have limited amount of time we only see very, very tiny percent on social media on email lists of what's happening in our industry. Okay, so chances are somebody and probably multiple somebody's out there is launching something that's very similar to yours before you before you launch it, or or even after you launch it, and you just never even aware of it. And it's okay, right, because up to now you in this way ignorance is bliss, you haven't known anything. So you've just gone along your happy self and you launched it. And so the reality is that the same thing is happening with your audience. Your audience is not privy to even you talk to your your friend Bob, and you have a lot of people in your audience that are not in Bob's audience. So if Bob launches the thing that you were thinking launching, and you launch it to your audience ago wow that's cool they will not even know that someone else had launched it. It's the same thing. Okay, many times. So the reality is that it actually is a smarter move, marketing wise to launch things that competitors or niche mates are also launching, because the fact that someone else is launching it means that they have a market instinct that is probably going to have some uptake people are probably going to buy it. And so it's okay to borrow other people's marketing instinct, I mean that's part of what market research is. It's okay to borrow the people's marketing instinct and launch your own version of it. Because your own version, of course you're not going to copy and paste their sales page. Of course you're not going, of course it's going to come from your own voice. So that's an important point is that it's okay for multiple people to launch the same thing, it really is both from the audience point of view because they don't know, most of them don't know. And even if some of them know that it's being launched, the fact that they're in your audience, if you have a better relationship with your audience, they're more likely going to buy yours, your version of it. It's very important. Okay. But still, the greater, there's more of a concern about the relationship you have with that person, the connection you have with that person. And it's worth clearing the air to have that conversation is hey I noticed, you know we had that conversation, you launched it I was going to launch it. I still will but I just want to make so that's how I would take it it's kind of like read between the lines, like, I'm still going to launch it I hope you don't mind because I've already been thinking about it. I hope yours is successful, because also the last thing I'll say is this, your best collaborators, your best partners, marketing partners are the niche mates who have the same audience as you, and the same offerings as you.  That is literally your best JV partner your best joint venture partner because they have done the hard work of building an audience very similar to yours. And so have you, and you too should collaborate, you should sell their thing sometimes they should sell your thing sometimes and you both win you both or share each other's content, or interview each other because you both grow audiences that way. I hope this is helpful, and just just know that doesn't matter what others are doing, you can still launch your thing, even if there's quite similar to yours.


It's quiet out here. The desert sprawls from horizon to horizon, where purest white meets twilight red. There are no edges here, no angles, just curves, and the gentle rise and falls of dunes. As far as the eye can see, and everywhere beyond that, had a visitor from some other world laid eyes on this place, they might have found it serene, even beautiful, pure. I can enjoy no such delusions regretfully, for I know what lies beneath and among the sands of the endless desert, a charnel house spanning an entire planet, seven billion human souls ground thin and fine until no trace of their existence could ever be found. I know this because I put them all there. No, brother. It happened so fast once we're gone. It began the day you, you that I have never known, found my power, the power I hid from myself in some previous life. For reasons I can now easily guess, I was looking out of the window of my apartment so I could see the stars, and instead I saw you, blazing as you tore yourself asunder to keep the power away from yourself. You didn't trust what you would do with it, and so you chose to throw it away. You knew yourself all too well, as I suspect I did too at one point. By all accounts I should not have been able to see you, for my apartment was truly a tiny containment cell about half a mile underground, but such considerations never meant much to one living entirely in his own world. When I saw the moment of your demise, I became aware of myself for the first time in, I have no idea how long. Another part of me that led me to throw away my power, did the same to my will, trapping it in an eternal status quo from which there could be no release, an eternity of filling spreadsheets for employers who existed solely in my head, of nine o'clock meetings with no one, of fake masturbatory crushes over imaginary women, an eternity of tired grinding mediocrity. But that was over that night, with your soul burning in the atmosphere like the loneliest of stars. I awakened, I died. For whatever left that little cell turned apartment wasn't me anymore. I was never more than an earthworm, distinct from all the rest, only in that I had a little more control over the soil in which I crawled. They never thought me more than a minor reality bender, a bundle of introverted powers and neuroses that was very unlikely to ever pose any serious threat. And they were right. The person I was, SCP-1915 as they called me, never was anything other than that. But 1915 died that day, watching a fallen star. The thing that then swatted the guards posted at its cell like they were less than nets that raised Site-17 into this fine white sand that is now so warm beneath the feet that was something else. Not an entity, for that would imply a personality, and this thing surely has none. Not a purpose, for there was no purpose behind its action then, nor will there be for any of its actions to come. Nor was it a will, for it wants nothing. Not vengeance, not dominion, not freedom, not even simple power. No, if I had to describe that thing as anything at all, it would be an absence. A void where the entity should be a lack of purpose. An imbecile force devoid of all will, an absence. The sand is still warm to the feet, that means the sun still burns high above. I wonder why it lets it remain, when all else was so quickly erased, when it could so easily just reach and pluck it out of the sky. Had it been another, I'd suspect it was to mock humanity's memory, to mock that sliver of me that still persists in the flesh, stubborn like a buried tick. But this is the absence, it does not mock. After Site-17's destruction, retaliation soon followed. Their containment teams at first, though certainly still enough to meet any anomaly the Foundation imagined could be contained in Site-17, with overwhelming force. Those men who failed to return, failed to even report their arrival. More serious measures had to be taken. Site-17 had always been isolated, and so they could act freely. Gunships and fire teams, aerial bombardment and artillery barrages. The Foundation came down on what it still believed to be SCP-1915, like a fire god's fist. All heat and sound and bluster. Had it still been truly corporeal, I doubt even ashes would have remained. But whatever the absence truly was by that point, the tattooed semblance of my flesh, hanging around it, had very little to do with it. It simply stood there and took it all in, and the Foundation's initial fury was soon spent. It then began to walk, and not too quickly either. For days, it simply leisurely strode on, while the Foundation threw everything it had at it. I watched from within my deadbolt, as it walked, unfeeling, uncaring, and this desert followed in its wake, as inscrutable and unstoppable as its harbinger. We are not quite alone here. Some stubborn immortals persist, wretched creatures. A continent away, an ancient man still walks, tormented by three mocking voices. He believed that once he was the only one left, he would be allowed to rest. He was wrong. Beneath the ground is a soul suffocating as the earth slowly grinds its sanity to mulch. From its prison of gold and rubies, there would be no release.  He does not resist. He had once promised the world his love, promised humanity the stars. Sand pours through his fingers as he tries to gather his flame together, his people. But it is dying, and they are dead, extinguished. When someone walks, they are bound to reach somewhere eventually, despite everyone's best efforts. And so the absence arrived at its first city, the sands at its heels, like an obedient lapdog. Oh, there have been villages and towns before that. But the absence didn't seem to care enough to bother with them. It simply walked by, leaving them to the whims of the sands, which were only ever singular in their intent. But through the streets, the city, it strode, as mobile task forces fought and fell to buy the civilian population just a few more minutes to evacuate. By this point, hiding what was truly going on became impossible, of course, as street after street sank beneath that gentle, crawling tide. The foundation had, of course, attempted to evacuate the city, once it realized there would be no stopping the absence. But if I learned anything in my eons as a corporate peon, is that organizing an operation of that magnitude is something that takes a lot more time than the foundation had. It's a wonder they managed to save as many as they did, as for the rest. It had waited until night fell. I imagine it was an eerie sight, that lone figure standing beneath the frozen light of the other worlds in that empty intersection between financial and residential districts, where train tracks used to be before the old steam locomotives went out of service and were never replaced by newer ones. Yes, I waited until it could see the stars. Then it burned, without heat, without light, without life. It burned a hole through the city and there was nothing to fill it in. Reality cannot suffer a vacuum, they always said, but the absence had shown how little it cared for reality. So it was gone, just like that. How does one explain something like that? How do you describe what isn't there? Where one moment was a city of 500,000? The next it wasn't. To the place it was, even the sands wouldn't come. It was just a scar. It was nothing. It was then, I believe, that the foundation realized it could not stand alone. The next few months of the absence's march saw them turn to their sometimes allies, coalition mage killers and thermonuclear strikes, initiative paladins and holy relics. Sniper rifle or sacred sword, burning inferno or divine retribution, the absence did not care. And soon the foundation had no allies left to turn to. It then called on its once vicious enemies. Ink eaters wove their art in maddening patterns to break the minds of the infinite. Archivists and librarians poured from the ways, bringing with them the knowledge of a hundred thousand worlds. Clockwork titans shook the barren whiteness of the sands with the thunder of metal. The absence did not care. And soon the foundation ran out of enemies. In last act of desperation, they then committed their final, most painful betrayal. The wardens unleashed upon the world their prisoners. Of these I have made note, though I doubt the absence did the same. On the blasted wasteland that was once Boston, it was a sale by two brothers. One savage, the other somber, one violent, the other reluctant. They nevertheless fought with a graceful unity to take the breath away. In their eyes I saw that they did not know each other for a very long while, and that they fought so that they could have the time to rectify this. I saw regret and hope, rage and desperation. But most of all I saw a simple need to be. And I would like to believe that you and I would have been like them had we met brother. They fought with the fury of a thousand years of solitude, and did not suffice. In a wounded valley that had once been part of the Black Sea, we came across a self-proclaimed god. There was nothing but confidence in his eyes as he threw reality itself into disarray, bent and twisted its most fundamental laws to bring upon the absence untold destruction. The earth froze and boiled and heaved. The air screamed with blighted glee, and the god he strode draped in a cloak of lightning, as time itself clawed at the absence with talons of utter unbeing, until the god came to meet the absence's lack of a gaze, until his eyes rested on a nothing that lasted forever, until he did not suffice. Before the walls of Acre, as the ancient city was drowned by the desert, two figures approached us. One was four-legged, and horned. Its crown was ice, its eyes galaxies, its whole was power absolute. The second was a man, simple, humble, but possessing a love of being that extended to the edges of the universe. Compassion to pierce the deepest of hells that had nothing to do with weakness. Of the two, I could not tell you which was more glorious, which was more terrifying. They met the absence with will alone, and when I felt it fall on us, I thought I would weep. Surely nothing could withstand such a presence. Surely nothing would want to, but the absence was less than nothing, infinitely less. I have told you what became of kind Pangloss, of the other, even less remained. For months they came, for years, for decades, alone or in groups, with ferocity, or with a blank stare, the foundation's prisoners threw themselves at the absence. I could not hope to imagine the reasons behind the actions of every individual anomaly, but if I could guess, I would say that the idea of sharing existence with a thing like the absence, galled them to the point of madness. I do not blame them. By the end, the prisons ran empty, as the world dried up, as life was drained from an inch by inch, grain by grain, until only one city remained. I do not know by which power I was allowed to send my senses ahead of us, as the absence marched towards that tottering bastion, which held in its quivering embrace the very last of humanity, as the sands around us buried the last of the trees that will ever grow in this land, I felt each tiny mote of life in that sad place, like the flame of a cheap candle, moments before typhoon. In these moments, as twilight danced in lurid reds and oranges on ivory, I sensed them all. For you, brother, I witnessed. In a low, narrow room, a woman sat hunched at the foot of her even narrower bunk and couldn't bring herself to pray. She had lost her mother when she was but a babe, and though she was no longer young, her features still displayed to all the violence of that incident. Her mother stood before the eater of children and did not budge, and when they both fell down, she sang still the praise her lord. She lost her father in the first days of the war against the absence, as the paladins marched with holy fervor in their eyes. Her father had been a believer, had always been a solid presence in her life, an anchor immovable by anything but regret. He had promised her he would be back. He did not mean to lie, but his god had forsaken him when it counted most, forsaken all of them. And now, Naomi knelt at the foot of the ever-narrowing bunk and could not pray, so she cursed instead. Below, in a series of dank cellars, which might have at one point stored Jesus, a woman of about 40, tinkered with broken toys. And she was young, she made wonders. Such wonders. In every line etched across her prematurely old face. I saw what could have been, had it not been for the absence. For me, in the dim light and the soft noise of rotting wood crumbling beneath calloused fingers, I saw the death of potential. The death of all possibility, though Isabella was stubborn as she always was, she knew that this toy would be her last. Just as well, she thought. After today, there would be none left to play with it. On the rooftop of the highest building still standing, an elderly man watched the world come to an end. He was once an agent of the foundation, once one among a hundred thousand, ready, prepared and collected. His duty was to instruct new agents what was proper for an agent to do, how it was proper, for an agent to think. And he had been very good at his job, since generally his recruits survive for long enough to thank him.  His lads and lasses were long since dead, and all that he knew, all of his years of training and experience, in the end, they amounted to less than nothing. No longer an agent, for there was no longer an agency. No longer a teacher, for the students were gone. No longer a man, since, well, it would not do well to repeat that, now would it? No longer anything, and that was the cruelest joke. It no longer mattered if the absence arrived, he thought. They were already within it. A noise behind him, and the old man turned to see a small, mousy man in a wrinkled grey suit, and a deflated hat, that at one point was likely a fedora. He looked at the old man, but said nothing. Lombardi looked back, and didn't know if to laugh or cry. Soon, it ceased to matter. Such was the end. Quiet, small, bereft of heroics and great deeds, free of pretensions, of great meaning. One night, there was human race on the planet Earth. The next, there wasn't, and that was that. The stars did not wait for you, brother. When you took my power, when you burned yourself in the skies above, they looked upon you, and felt nothing. The stars did not wait for humanity, for all of the promise it showed, for all of the promise others saw in them. But what of the absence? What of me? We are, I am, by all accounts and possible qualifications, the greatest monster this world has ever saw. Perhaps that any world saw. And yet, brother, I see now that the stars wait for us, for me. Where is the justice in that? Seek it not, for there is none. But the fact remains, brother. The stars do not wait for you, but they wait for me to take them into my embrace. I suspect I shall not be long. End of file. To learn more about the SCP Foundation, subscribe to SCP Orientation today and turn the notification bell on so you don't miss any of our videos.


Okay, what do I say to the idea that Bitcoin is essentially a trade-off between either cheap transactions or secure transactions? Because eventually the reward runs out and you start only getting reward from miners based on transaction fees first of all that doesn't happen for a hundred and thirty-two years and As far as I know in a hundred and thirty-two years We'll be looking at a Bitcoin interplanetary network, and I'm less worried about how we optimize the blockchain today to achieve that a lot of this is a matter of optimization and quite honestly I Don't start getting worried about a problem until we start seeing signs of a problem or even you know tiny tiny Examples of that problem part of my experience comes from reading this kind of Concerned journalism. I'll call it to avoid calling it concerned trolling But the idea here is that when I was working on the internet for example every year without fail There was an article that came out that said Ethernet has hit the limits of physical science and physics and here's proof of why Ethernet cannot exceed one megabit and then next year was an here's proof for why ethernet cannot exceed 10 megabits And a year later it was a gigabit and a year after that it was 10 gigabits and every single time There was a ethernet's about to die. We've seen that with IP that won't Can't possibly scale we're gonna run out of IP addresses and the whole thing will collapse search that won't can't possibly scale We're gonna run out of ability to do things and it will collapse storage, you know all of these doom scenarios they assume The technology is static. They also assume that when you have something of value There won't be someone to innovate and solve the problem. So to all of these problems what I see is opportunity in 1995 Every article about the internet said that it would fail because you could never find anything and some people saw that as a problem and they did a lot of rending and Pulling their hair out and crying that the internet would die and a couple of guys formed Google and decided to solve that problem Now they've got a four hundred billion industry So you can either look at it as a problem or you can say if I solve this What kind of value can I generate in this industry and so far? I have not seen any problems in Bitcoin that are unsolvable These problems are technical But they are solvable the concerns are mostly academic and the network is incredibly dynamic and resilient So in summary, I'm not worried about optimization. I'm not worried about scaling for every one of these problems I've seen ten proposed solutions long before these problems are actually real and I think we're going to see Bitcoin continue to scale continue to grow and to adapt to these challenges Without any difficulty
