One of the biggest complaints I hear about music today is you have to release so many singles, which means you have to make single artwork. That is single-screen video, then a lyric video, and then a music video. It's all just too much work for some people. Like, who has time for this? Well, probably you who built a whole Midget Quaker village in Minecraft the other night. But I know that e-girl didn't notice you built that, so now you need to keep working on your music career, so maybe she'll see you. Best of luck! So, what I want to talk about in this video is what I like to call a full-stack single, which not only makes your life easier since it reinforces all your imagery to fans. It saves creative time and makes everything you do synergistic, and it also helps you seem like an artist fans should pay attention to. Hi, I'm Jesse Cannon, a music marketing consultant who makes videos about how to build your fanbase from 0 to 10,000 fans, and this is MuseFormation. So, let's talk about what I like to call a full-stack single. So, the idea here is you're going to develop an image that goes along with your single. We want to find some strong imagery, whether that's you in a certain outfit, a symbol, a pose, a painting, a sculpture, or whatever you can do to reinforce the emotion of your song that feels synergistic with how it sounds. This may take some time to brainstorm, and if you haven't heard me make this point before, about that you should spend 10% of your time brainstorming your music videos and the imagery around your music. Well, now you have. So, we want to figure out this image, and it'll be one that you use to tell stories around your music. This will include making merch, your single cover, and using it in your video, and of course, your social media.  But let's talk about how this really does help reinforce you to fans and show them why they take this so much more seriously. Since I'm a big nerd who wrote a book on creativity, I really like the idea of emotional resonance, which is there's this level of emotion you feel when you see, feel, hear, or experience art. Particularly, I discuss it a lot with how it pertains to whether or not you feel a song or not. One of the things I've observed is that many of the most avid music fans, you know, the ones who music is their whole life, and they are this way because music just hits them so much harder emotionally than everyone else. I'm one of those people, as I will happily admit, I cry whenever I see an amazing piece of art.   Even when you're an average listener, you still get more blown away when the artists you love match the things they do musically with a visually impacted image. Now when you go to release a single, and since I've encouraged you to release tons of them, there's so much work to do between the video, the artwork, and what if you could find synergy to bring all that together to not only save you effort, but also to make your fans feel your music more. And that's what the full stack single is. But let's talk about what this looks like and where you've seen it before. When the 1935 released their single for the birthday party, they executed the full stack single perfectly. Not only did they feature the image of their single art in their video, there was also a t-shirt immediately on sale. Not only that, but they launched their mindshower.ai site that was based around the visuals of the video, it was an experiential virtual reality site where fans could access zine stems and other cool content around the group. They did similar with the single people where they had a t-shirt for the video which was similar to the artwork along with the launch of an Instagram filter to go with it so that fans would have something experiential to spread the song with. And they have done this in the past too with sincerity is scary.  I would also be remiss to not talk about the group who I saw execute this idea on a god tier level, which is sleep token. They released seven singles before their debut album Sundowning. Each one had its own symbol and limited merch for sale as well as having the image of the singles cover art in the video. Seriously sleep tokens merch store and strategy to harness algorithmic discovery for this record was above and beyond anything I saw in the last year. They even sell a print of each of the images since fans build deep bonds with their music and want to feel close to it so they allow them to pay a lot of money to get deeper with what they have. Now you may be thinking that there's no way that you have the money to print t-shirts like this for each design, but just remember these designs can live online and if you use a print on demand service like manic merch or threadless, you can do it without putting any money down and use it to have money to fund your next singles promotion. Let's also remember just like we talked about in my video on Instagram tips, which is linked in the description or in a card now. You could also make this image a sticker and put the title with it to put in all of your Instagram stories that don't promote it so that you're always promoting the single with that little sticker that reminds people they could be listening to your song and building their relationship with your music As well, if you're trying to drive up sales on the billboard chart, remember bundling these pieces of merch with the single allows you to generate sales from it, which weighs a ton and can help you place higher. Using a merch site like Bandcamp, this can be accomplished super easily, but that's probably another story for another time. The other reason this strategy works so well is drop culture, where merch is available for a short duration, which has driven so many merch sales in recent years. While in-roch culture drops are less common than in hip-hop and EDM, you basically make merch only available for 24 hours or in a limited quantity, and that scarcity then makes fans prioritize buying that merch instead of something else they were going to buy. In a full stack single, you can make the merch only available for the eight weeks you're promoting your single and then move on to the next single drop. Let's also remember 99% of the time fans' enthusiasm for a song is usually highest right when they hear it, so taking advantage of this enthusiasm and trying to sell them something special while they're feeling that passion and know it may go away in a little while can be especially helpful to sell them these walking advertisements that your merch is and help fund your next single. Take advantage of the full stack single before everyone is doing it since it is the future. Thanks so much. See you in the next video. Am I missing anything?

through some centres for questions and answers and discussion. You might have questions regarding the portion that I have covered earlier. You might have questions regarding the particular workshop projects. Please feel free to raise questions during this brief interaction. I would also like to submit that there are many of you who would have questions in mind but are not able to ask them. Just as yesterday I mentioned one of the friends, a participant from Sienkert Institute had written an elaborate email to the workshop support. I will suggest that most participants who have questions and who are unable to ask questions during this interaction should actually send their queries through email and will try to consolidate these and answer most of them if not all of them in the subsequent conversations. So now may I request my video team to go over to various centres. First we will go to the centres which might have a query. If there is no centre which has raised a query we will just go one by one as per the list that you have or there has been a request. Sir, I want to question that I use a picture element array for storing image information picture element array and after use Histograph value. So why we use Histograph value if only we use Histograph value then we still use the picture element array because in case if Histograph value is used still using then we use the picture element array because location is described in picture element array. So why we use both. Yes I understand first of all let us understand that the picture element array represents the actual picture. So if you want to see the picture either drawn digitally on a terminal or in an actual photograph what you have is always picture element values only. Histogram is merely a representation of some characteristic of that picture as we saw representation of the contrast characteristic and that is why we want to equalize the Histograms. When we say Histograms are equalized actually what we are doing is we are transforming the original pixel values into new pixel values. So the original image is one the new image which has enhanced contrast is another image which is a modified set of pixel value. So we are dealing with pixel values of the image only but in order to do the transformation we require a separate Histogram array to be calculated and the Histogram to be modified as per those Histogram values. We are going to jargaham is it. Sir I want to ask you the question whether it is possible whether it will be possible to conduct such type of project in first year for such used strength. I have conducted such projects for a class of 833 students and you will see some of the project reports as I said I will send to you. I would like to mention that fundamentally there is no difference between the students coming to IIT and students coming to your college just as fundamentally there is no difference between you teaching the subject at your college and I teaching at IIT. I will like to submit that here we are able to experiment learn new things benefit from that and establish that as a teaching practice. My suggestion would be give it a try and if it works make it formalized in subsequent attempts but one thing you please remember never underestimate the capability of your students both individually and as teams. In general I have found that a group of students are capable of doing far better work than I can do even after 40 years of experience in programming. Thank you. Let us go to the next institution. PRMIT Amaravati, they have a query. I am Sunil Gupta from Badnira. I want to ask question regarding workshop project. What could be the size of the project if a particular subject is going to be taught in two semesters and the team size is of four students and what could be the scope of the particular project? Typically I would expect a programming project to result in software of about 1000 to 1500 lines of code by each team if there is a not by each team but by 3 to 4 teams put together. We have had examples where about 10000 lines of code have been written by 5 teams working on a project. Now this will vary. There are certain teams which may have weak students or unenthusiastic students and they may together write something like 500 to 1000 lines of code. The important point that I am trying to make here is that through any lab exercise that we ordinarily give in our laboratories where students write 10 line, 20 line, 30 line, 40 line programs. Now that does not at all indicate to them what is the kind of real software that they will see. The project gives them an opportunity not individually to write 2000 lines but to collectively write 2000 lines and to solve a real world problem. So whether they are able to write exact 2000 lines or they are able to write only 500 lines it does not matter. Whether all their programs work correctly or do not work correctly it also really does not matter. It is the attempt to write some large software together and attempt to solve a larger problem which is I believe of great significance. So coming back to your specific query if you have this subject in two different semesters I think you should not decide the size of the project expected based on whether the subject is covered in one semester or two semesters. But you should consider what is the portion that is covered in each semester. Using that portion what real life problem they are able to solve. According to me if students work for about one and half months of a semester or half the semester and the problem is defined just before the middle semester, middle of the semester etc they will be typically able to individually put in about 30 to 40 hours of total work. 30 to 40 hours of total work put in by three teams of five members each is able to achieve substantial amount of contribution has been our experience over decades in IIT. And I submit that if you try it you will also find that the students will rise to the occasion. One problem is that all our students in the conventional education system are aware right now that they simply have to answer questions in a written test and they have to submit some preset assignments 8, 9, 10 assignments in the lab. There are cases for example where our students do not even write the assignment themselves but simply copy the assignments and submit. If they are required to do a project work they genuinely put in efforts and in the process learn a lot. We are going to government engineering college Trishur. I will do that at the end of this interaction. I will do that at the end of this interaction. I have a query regarding the fingerprint identification there is no exceptional case. What are the exceptional case of that fingerprint identification? If the fingerprint is having some trouble then what do you have to do? Yes actually I am a part of the national committee for this unique identification so I am aware of what they are trying to do. The cases that you mentioned are not by the way very rare exceptions. There are several cases for example consider Indians who are affected by leprosy. They simply may not have fingers. In such cases we may use their toes instead of hand fingers, the leg fingers. If nothing is available there will have to be some other special mechanism for such people. Let us go over to another centre COEP Pune. Good morning sir. I am Riyaz Jammadhar from AISMS IOIG. I have a couple of queries. First one is regarding workshop projects. So will we be assigned by IIT Bombay or can we have our own area time problem if we can. That is the first. Second is regarding that approach you have told for labs like that activity diary and all that you have given. If we adopt that approach the university may raise an objection and there will be mismatch in the examination approach and this activity or practice approach. So how can we tackle that? Good questions both of them. First of all IIT Bombay will not assign the projects. The teams will have to figure out projects for themselves. That freedom is given to the participants here. However later on when you go back and teach this course you may want for example to limit the choice from say 5 or 6 domains or 5 or 6 problems and that is because when you teach this course students will be asking you constantly on the problems that they face and you should be able to solve these problems either using your own expertise or the expertise of other colleagues. So I suppose that answers your question as far as this workshop is concerned. Of course here we are not talking about students but here we are talking about colleague teachers. You are all like me and therefore every team is perfectly capable of coming up with a problem definition in a domain of their choice. No issue on that. The idea here by the way is I do want different teams to come up with different problems. Remember what we said at the beginning all contributions made by and after this workshop by all of us will go into open source. Consequently all the projects that we collectively defined 983 of us or roughly about 200 teams or 150 teams all of them will be available to each one of us as a teacher. So it is in fact useful if every team takes up a different project. Of course the amount of effort that individual team members are able to put in after the workshop will depend upon their own busyness and schedule elsewhere and the quantitative and qualitative contributions could differ but it will not be unrealistic to say that out of 150 team efforts at least 50 team efforts will come out to be really good contributions in different domains. Now imagine that suppose I am teaching at Badnira or Amrita Puri and I have not won but 50 defined problems already in fact with a sample solution. Will it not be much easier for me to define some derivative team problems based on these 50 basic problems for my students to carry out. So this freedom is definitely available. The second question uncannily is more important because that question deals with the presumed compulsions of a university discipline. For example it was mentioned that if I ask for the activity diary and so on university may not approve it. Why are we so scared of what university will approve and university will not approve? If we are I would submit the following. Tell the students that this entire exercise will be outside the evaluation process of university parks and only those students who are interested in doing the course project can do that and they will meet only in the evening after the college hours. If the college objects they will meet under a tree outside of the road and they will discuss this and they will work this out and I as a teacher will help them develop a good team project. Please understand that the purpose here is to teach our students good team work in writing programs. Personally I do not believe that any university will ever object to doing this kind of experiment. My submission is that in every college syllabus and the university examination system that I have seen there are some marks available for internal evaluation. The internal evaluation marks and the evaluation process is not dictated by university. There may be certain guidelines given but certainly a college will have adequate autonomy to implement the individual evaluation or internal evaluation. My suggestion is start with this internal evaluation process. Some marks being allocated to this. Discuss this out within your own faculty colleagues with your college director and principal and I am 100 percent sure that this scheme will be approved. All that I can do is in case any one college has a problem please write to me. I will be glad to personally speak to that principal. If necessarily personally visit your college and talk to the principal and university vice chancellor to submit that such things should be permitted not only in this subject but many other subjects. I hope that answers your question. So be bold experiment certain things. I will tell you only one thing I have found this consistently as long as these experimentations are for the benefit of our students. Believe me no administration will seriously object. Let us go over to the next center. A C Amruta Puri has a query. Hello sir I am Sandhya from Amruta Puri. You mentioned that there is one slot per week for tutorials. Can you brief on how tutorials are conducted at IIT Bombay? Is it the usual practice or? Okay. How are tutorials handled in IIT Bombay? I have to admit a sad fact they are not handled at all. Tutorials at one time I used to teach this course about 25 years ago by the way and this course schedule was two lecture hours per week, two tutorial hours per week and two lab hours per week. The tutorials were conducted in different classes of tutorial batch size of 20 to 25 students. Each tutorial batch handled by a course associate or a teaching assistant. Unfortunately after the modified course that was approved by CNET tutorials were removed. Consequently no formal tutorials are conducted but the two hours that students spend in the lab apart from the lab assignment some kind of interaction happens with the teaching assistants and that is where some implicit tutorial gets conducted. Quite frankly I do not find that adequate. In fact the timetable and schedule at most of your colleges and universities is far superior because you allocate more lecture works and tutorial works. I am recommending to our CNET beginning next semester that this course structure should be revamped and two tutorial hours should be introduced where tutorials are conducted in different batches. I agree with you that such tutorials should be beneficial. Yes as a matter of fact the histogram computations have to be made using the original image file as input. But just remember that the image file could be 500 by 500, 1000 by 1200 by 200, 700 by 400 or whatever. The histogram is merely a single array of 256 elements. So yes we not only can but we must make use of the original image file without using the values in that image file. We will simply not be able to calculate the histogram. We will go over to the next center. We are going to Ph.G's Coimbatore is it okay. Hello Mr. Mahanakshmi. My query is about cumulative distribution function sir. Can you explain me some more points about the original? Cumulative distribution function as I mentioned nearly says how many pixels exist in that image which have a value less than equal to a certain value. Let me give another example. You would be familiar with percentile scores that are given in gate examination or similar examination. So when we say 96 percentile roughly it means that 96 percent students are below or at the level where you have got the marks. Percentile is nothing but a similar cumulative distribution function. In fact any cumulative distribution function definition that you pick up such as cumulative probability distribution function this definition is very similar. So I have one more question sir. Is there any tools for extracting that matrix from a grayscale image? Thank you. Sorry. Any tool for extracting a matrix from that grayscale image? Yes. The tool are image capturing devices. For example if you take a photograph there are scanners for example which will scan that photograph and convert it into a digital image. As a matter of fact the normal scanners convert a photograph either into a bitmap image or a JPEG image. Both JPEG and bitmap images are nothing but digital representation of that image. From JPEG or bitmap images for which the standard structure of the element values of that JPEG or bitmap are available it is possible to extract an image array of the kind that you mean. And by extraction I mean no further tool is required. So roughly you take a scanner take a photograph scan that photograph you will get a JPEG image. There are utilities available by which you can convert that JPEG image into a bitmap image. A bitmap image is nothing but something like the array that we describe. Of course if it is a color bitmap you will have three intensity independent intensity values associated with each pixel. If you scan the image as a black and white image you will almost directly get the bitmap image of the kind that we mentioned. That means you will get the values inside the array for the defined width and height of the picture. Let us go over to the next center. Periyar Maniyama University welcome. Yes. The question is how to fix the complexity of the project that we give to the students. A similar question was asked in a different way by another participant. Believe me it is indeed a hard problem. You cannot define the complexity. The right approach is to define an open-ended problem. A problem which cannot be solved by students. But expect the students to solve some part of it well, some part of it perhaps not so well. Do not worry if for in fact it may not be a bad idea just as I told all the batches here that if you really want to solve the problem of registration or problem of fingerprint comparison or problem even of fingerprint verification for an application all 800 students might end up writing software for about 5 years to develop the complete solution. So it is not possible for any batch to completely solve the problem. The beauty of a team effort is to understand that we are attempting a very large problem and do as much as we can do. So my suggestion is instead of defining the complexity to begin with just indicate the expectation that from a team of 5 people I would expect let us say a total of 1000 lines of debug code at the end of the project. That means each of the 5 people will have to write one or more programs amounting to about 200 lines. But it is not individual standalone programs they all must work together and that sufficiently teaches the students to participate in a group activity that has been my experience so far. So do not worry too much about complexity give very complex problems do not only ask them philosophical issues prove the existence of God for example that is not a solvable problem but other than that practically everything can be done. Let us go to the next institute Sona College Selam. Thank you very much. The first question that you observed there is no declaration I will submit that what we were demonstrating was not a formal computer program but merely the way to give instructions to Mr. Dumbo and therefore it was not written as per the rules of C or C++ programming language but it was written something like a pseudo code. The second question is a larger issue you are talking about what research can be done there is of course research in each of the activities that you mentioned multimodal representation of various biometric elements is a matter of has been a subject topic of great research as per as the particular project of unique identification is concerned we discussed all biometric possible characteristics that we can be used for capturing we zeroed on to fingerprints because a affordable tools and technologies and products exist by which this large exercise can be completed in an economic way and we also know that fingerprint biometric is adequate for high security requirements such as entry into let us say defense establishments or for such additional things these different agencies are free to use additional biometric parameters such as IV identification and so on. So please understand that fingerprint is being talked about only in the context of a important problem of giving unique idea to every Indian citizen the biometric does not end there there are many other issues the specific question also related to an interesting aspect what could be the research potential in this I will only mention that in each of the areas of biometric that you mentioned lot of research has been done and yet there is a tremendous scope for advancing that knowledge and technology further it is so in fact in most other domains that we know of I am very glad that somebody is mentioning a research problem although we are meeting here for discussing how to teach computer programming effectively it only proves my point that when we generally think we cannot avoid thinking of research and teaching together this is one example thank you very much and good luck okay let us go over to VNIT Nakpur good morning sir I really appreciate what you teach and I am really impressed I just want to ask you do we get a what kind of assignment you are going to give to your students can be able to see that list as a matter of fact as we speak all the information about the projects that our students have submitted are getting edited all of them will be released in open source and to the participants of this course we will do an early release of some of the sample projects that they have done hopefully by Monday in the moodle and in your centers you should receive some sample project implementations by some of the batches here okay sir I want to ask one more question if I give the what project to the group of the people at the time of evaluation of that particular project should I give about the equal marks to all the students because for the project the contribution of that those members will be a different but you said that at your case we are going to give the equal marks to all the students so what should be the base procedure for evaluation I don't think you paid attention to the complete description of the evaluation a project in IIT Bombay for the subject that I teach has 25 marks out of those 25 marks 15 marks are allocated which are same for every student so suppose that group project report gets 11 marks out of 15 then every student gets 11 marks but that is only part of the evaluation remaining 10 marks for the project are allocated based on the individual work which comes out of the peer review please remember that the project has 25 marks in IIT out of 25 marks 15 marks are commonly allocated 10 marks are completely based on the individual contribution and there have been students who have been given 0 marks out of 10 by their peers okay so we are going to go over to Vellore Institute Tamil Nadu very good point that you made the assignment that you will solve today in the lab has a sample program to calculate logarithm of a given value the logarithm is calculated by summing up areas under the curve and also using math dot h library what you will find interestingly in that particular sample program that has been given is that we have used a series of hash defines to define what you may call certain macros which expand a very simplistic function call in our program to print f and scan f as a result students do not have to use those things please examine what we submit today and then comment on it tomorrow back again I hope you will find this slightly more useful so that at least at the beginning time in the subject when students have to do input output without that they cannot write any program they do not have to learn about print f and scan f but they can use some simple macros to use that please look at the assignment that you will get in the laboratory today and we can have a discussion later let us go to MGM engineering college Nandair sir when we open image in C shall we have to shall we have the knowledge of that data file if it is in BMP or JPEG we should we suppose to have knowledge of that data files as well in order to get that those pixels are stored in R A you are absolutely right depending upon the format in which the image is image data is available you must have the necessary header file defined in fact when you read the image you will actually read it in the structure of that particular header file it is from that you will have to transfer values to your image array some of the projects that have been done here which use fingerprints we used a format called XPM format and we also use a format which is the standard bitmap format almost all the header files that you mention are available as standard header files in open source if you go to Wikipedia or if you go to image processing sites you will get these header files which you can include I mentioned this in the context of image but I would like to clarify that for practically every domain where computational problems are to be solved then similar header files representing different structures for those domains will be required they will either have to be defined by us or they will have to be used from wherever they are available particularly in case of images you are absolutely right we will these those header files fortunately all the header files and even conversion programs are easily available in open source let us go to Vijay T. I. Pune Hi yeah what is the advanced I am Boroli from Vijay T. I. Electrical Department what is the advantage of teaching computer programming subject for electrical and mechanical engineers because at present ready made tools are available in market it is better to teach ready made tools instead of computer instead of C C plus plus or Java language that is an interesting opinion what we find in IIT Bombay is that teachers from different disciplines including electrical engineering mechanical engineering insist that their students should know programming well I would like you to appreciate that while tools are available tools do not necessarily solve all the problems secondly any engineer solving a real life problem will have to solve multitude of issues not all the issues would be handled by one or more available tools invariably in the modern day an engineer is required to augment whatever tools are available by writing some programs of some kind or the other in fact writing programs using available tools is also an exercise I would like to submit that if people who have to use Matlab or Sylab for example they would do well to have some fundamental concepts about programming being very clear and that is the purpose why all universities across the country and in fact across the world insist that basic programming knowledge be available to students of all branches it is not that every student will be required to write 20,000 lines of code in one's life but it is that these fundamental principles will be useful even in properly utilizing whatever packages one uses and additionally be able to write more programs if one has to write there was just one center remaining so let me go over to that center Sir, I am Harithan, I am Harithan representing Terran Engineering College Narayananbhai I would like to ask as per your guidelines which you have given for projection on that I will give projects to my students it might possible students might come with some idea but in exception if we do not have resources to complete that project then in this case can IIT help us to solve that problem? Well IIT can possibly help and provide guidance in terms of any research problems that you or your colleagues may have but as far as first year students are concerned the projects which they do will have to be I am afraid handled at your college level only all that we can do is we can make available similar projects that have been done here they will be made available as a part of the open source contents which will release in addition to all the contributions that you people will make as participants in the workshop but I will repeat once again that if students have a difficulty and they are not able to complete the project successfully it is not at all important somehow all us teachers believe that every problem given must be successfully solved that is so illogical because in the real life that does not happen what we are teaching students is to attempt genuinely and seriously to solve a problem in the process is what they learn they may or may not be able to solve every problem successfully I do not think there is any need to worry about it what we have to ascertain as teachers of programming is whether while doing the project they have understood the concepts of programming and they have tried to apply the concepts of programming to the extent that they have understood the domain so please do not worry about what you call a hard successful completion of the project as a matter of fact there is nothing like a successful completion of any project in the world because when you complete the project successfully big or large you suddenly discover that there are 20 things which you would have done better so every project in fact is an open-ended project please do not worry about that let us quickly go over to the Nirma institute and then we will close the discussion for this session the question is how can we get pixel value from the image no better pixel value in form of matrix how we can get pixel value from the different images as I mentioned the different images will exist in the form of photographs you scan a photograph and when you scan a photograph the scanner will convert that image into a JPEG file or a bitmap file that file actually contains all the pixel data although it contains that data in a rather funny format defined by the header file for that particular format what you do is you take that file as input into a C program which contains an appropriately defined header file so when you read the image file the data will go and sit into that header file structure from which you can derive the pixel values I will try and see if I can send an illustrative example of a JPEG image being read into an image file over the next few days I think there is just one institution which is shouting at me saying we did not get a chance to ask a question so let us quickly go over to Anna University and then we will really close this session hello good morning sir it's a very nice attempt we are very actually we are fortunate to be with you here and I just would like to know if what are the other types of projects that you would do like you have mentioned about fingerprint authentication like that what are the other types of projects that you are doing in IIT Bombay well let me let me put it this way as in terms of research projects there are large number of research projects that are happening as a matter of fact I don't personally work in image processing my colleagues Professor Vikram Gadre, Shubhash Chaudhary and a lot of others do that work so in terms of research projects you will get an idea about the projects that are going on through what we call our website both of the IIT Bombay website and the department websites but I am afraid I will not be able to go into details of that question now so let me now close and go back to my slides I will just require three minutes okay okay one more question go ahead whether do the projects want to do in C level language or any other sorry C language or in any other languages the answer is very simple this course is about effective teaching and learning in C programming and therefore the workshop projects for this particular workshop have to be done in C programming language however if in your own college you have a composite first subject which is like IIT Bombay C and C++ you can use that please understand that we don't distinguish between a particular programming language and the other in general however when we are teaching students a particular subject then we are necessarily bound by whatever is the syllabus while in IIT we have complete freedom to decide that particular syllabus in most other colleges you are bound by the university syllabus so once again I will repeat that this workshop is essentially going to use C programming as the basis and therefore the workshop projects I am afraid will have to be done in C okay now we will really wind up and go over to my slides first during the workshop you are required to set up teams carry out preliminary work in consultation with center coordinators set up the teams and decide on the particular topic on which you would like to do the workshop project after the workshop complete both parts of the project the project consists of writing a team software for a problem that you choose and writing of questions and answers on the allocated topics on the second part I will comment later but when you complete both the parts this will entitle participants not only for IST certification but we have decided to do something more exciting we want each remote center to evaluate the project submissions and forward recommendations for the three top projects now these recommendations from each of the 22 centers will come to us and we will decide on a minimum norm on a global basis so we will examine the top entries submitted by each center based on this minimal norm for example if a center has very few participants we will not consider three top projects to be recognized but maybe only two if a center has multiple very large number of participants such as 60 or 70 we may consider even up to five top projects eventually we will consider these projects and depending upon this assessment and on the number of teams from a center we will take up to three teams from each centers which will be identified for an award and what we have in mind is to give cash awards to these teams in form of honorarium to all the winning teams the amounts roughly we have in mind although we are not finalized it I am discussing it with some of my colleagues here but we are talking about 10,000 rupees as the first prize 7000 rupees as the second prize and 5000 rupees as the third prize additionally we will be giving a token honorarium of 2000 rupees to each of the center coordinators for helping us in this assessment of these projects and last but not the least the best project from the team from all the centers will get a special award we have about 50,000 rupees as honorarium to be paid to that team in our mind I hope this will provide a small additional incentive to all my colleagues from various centers to do a really good job please remember our endeavor together is actually to create very useful material and very useful mindset for ourselves to teach programming better in the courses that we offer subsequently in our colleges thank you very much

Now, today, you and I, we're going to go check on the circumstance of these markets. We'll go figure out what those bulls and bears, what those buyers and sellers are communicating to you and I at just past 11 o'clock in the morning. I want you to know I'm absolutely grateful for your presence here, but even more important than that. And that's this. During this next 53 minutes, I am here to serve you. So feel free to pick up that phone, dial on in an<PHONE_NUMBER>. If you can't call in, but you've got a question, send me an email. Send that off to Steve at TFNN.com. Inside that subject heading, please put radio show question. Of course, if you're inside our Tiger's Den, well, then any and every ping will do. So let's go ahead and get this show started on wonderful Wednesday. Of course, this is Tiger, Financial News Network. I'm Steve Rhodes. Welcome to the show. A sea of red out there. All the U.S. industries that we track are trading to the downside. Dow's off 242, S&P's 29, 121 for the Nasdaq, 143 for the Russell. Semi's off 72, trend is down to 10. Gold's off 31 bucks, testing support. Silver is off 75 cents, since well below support. Lights recruit, found support and is trading higher, up $2.30. Natural gas up 9 cents, 30 treasure off 17 ticks. He's trading out at $1.20309. Leading the charge, dollar-wise the upside. You've got Eli Lilly up $18 in change, regenerate up $16 in change. Northrop Grumman about 9, Lockheed Martin up 5, Everest Group up 5. So the downside is booking holdings of $41 move a little over 1%. Micro strategy, 37 bucks, 5%. Monolithic power systems, 3% or 19 bucks. Broadcom down 19, waters corp down 17 in change. That's a 5% move for it. So we've got movers and we've got shakers, but everybody wants to know what are the markets doing? Well, at this stage of the game, we've got a change in trend signal out here. Let's go take a look at what's going on by looking at the daily and weekly time frame. So we're going to switch our panels. We're going to go take a look at the four equity future contracts with our primary focus really being on the NQ. But here, if we take a look at the ESMini, a close to maybe below $47.82 suggests that we have a change in trend. After we came out from the bottom down here with that Rosemont Dominicator TD9 Count bottom pattern on October 27th, we've never seen price close below the bottom of a profile. If we do that, that's our first change in trend signal. Now I did mention earlier, if you caught the 11 a.m. update that the Spot Volotenix is testing its 50-day exponential moving average. That level specifically right now. So you're going to kind of put both of these together. The 1388 is the Spot Volotenix 50-day exponential moving average. If the spot fix closes above that and the ESMini close below profile support out there, you've got a really good change in trend signal. However, and however is, that may be only telling us that price is going to get back to support, the next level of support. So one of the things that you and I do here, it's really important. One, we try to identify patterns that are associated with tops and bottoms. So that's one of the things that we do with the tools that we have. Another thing that we do with these tools is identify, support and resistance levels. That's really important. As you know, I take a look at multi-time frame charts. Why? Because you go from one timeframe to the next, like the daily, we go take a look at, all right, if you're busting through daily support, where's the weekly support level? Well, in the case of the ESMini, that's at the 4693 area. Now, that number is going to change. That's the oscillator and change line. The oscillator and change line is a difference between the 19 and 39 period, exponential moving average of the price oscillator. Let's not go into all the technical details. Let's instead, let's go take a look at the NQ. If you'd like to know that, I'd love to teach it to you. You subscribe to Mastering Probability's workshop that will teach you those exact details. In the case of the NQ, which is the weak link out here right now, it's not the Russell, it is the NQ. Although the Russell's getting fairly weak. But in the case of the NQ, close below the bottom of its daily profile yesterday. By the way, that bottom profile is 16880. It's trading below it right now, or 16839, either one. Those two profiles, we have different profiles for the black background system and the white background system. But now when you break through profiles again, you have to understand where support is. Well, you don't have to. I'm suggesting that that's a good thing to do. And support here, as we can see, is the oscillator and change line for the weekly time frame. Now, I don't have enough data, unfortunately. I've got to have the continuous contract up. Whereas in the eS mini, I was able to get enough data for the March contract out there. But we're still in right about that exact same spot out here. So this is a suggestion that prices at a support area. And we could see about we'd have to go take a look at intraday charts to see if there's some kind of bottoming signals there. But before we go to any intraday charts out here for the NQ, what we can look at is today is likely going to become bar number four of consecutive moves lower out here. Again, it's a March contract, so we don't have a ton of data. I could put up a continuous one right here. All that I want to really be able to share with you, as we can see, a couple of four-day consecutive moves lower. Each of those here have led to at least a one-day rally. The first one was back on August the 7th. The next four-day consecutive move we had was on August 18th. We had really more than a one-day rally out there. We had an A to B equal seating pattern to the upside that informed. If we take a look at the next one that came in, that was on the trading session of October 20th. We had a two-bar rally out there. And then that's it. So today is going to become bar number four. So we've got bar number four that's taking place while the NQ is testing its oscillator and change-line level of support. Now, if it fails, that's the oscillator and change-line, then we're looking at a move back towards the 16-336 level, the top of that. And really, a counter-trend move would find support at about the 15-937 area. That's the center of its bare-structured profile. But one thing at a time right now, and that one thing is that the weak link out here is back to a level of support. The Dow has been strong like bull. Now, today it looks like we'll get a bearish and golfing candle that'll confirm a roadsman-dominicator top, prices trading with inside the profile levels there. And it's broken inside the Dow. That changes if the Dow closes below the bottom of its profile. And that number is 37607. In the case of the Russell 2000, it does have a roadsman-dominicator top. It has a four-river evening star candle formation. It has a bearish reversal candle. Prices testing support. Now, this is a bullet-structured support level. The bottom, which is 2,990 out there. We're trading just below there. We're about five bucks below that as we speak right now. Again, if these levels get broken, if price on the daily basis closes below the bottom of those profiles, what your eyes need to or should look at is the oscillator and change lines for the weekly time frames. In the case of the Dow, by the way, it's down right now at about 3,623, the Russell 1912. And you got the ESMini about 4,693 out there. So that's the first thing that we know. By the way, the ESMini, this is four consecutive days to its downside as well. So much like the NQ, you got to expect or anticipate a bounce. Now, you really expect that after what we've taken a look at. If that spot volatility closes back below the 50-day exponential moving average. Again, that's printed at 1,388. The spot fix right now, 1,390. Steve Rhodes with TFNN. We'll be right back.

Folks, to follow along with that first segment and that first segment, what we identified, we've got four consecutive days of the downside inside the ESNN queue, we can see that that typically has resulted in at least a one-day rally out there. We also know that the spot biotechers for the S&P 500, for the ESMini, is testing a level of potential resistance. That's a 50-day exponential moving average out there. And here if we take a look at the, and so this is suggesting at least a one-day bounce, right? So if we try to find a seasonal chart pattern that the markets may be following, obviously we're only two days into the year, well the one that we know that we have and what I'm showing right now is the Dow Jones over 127 years, I'm showing its election seasonal cycle. And that's what we're in right now. Now interestingly enough, again I don't know if this is just coincidence. There are no coincidences in life. It's typically the beginning of the year we see a move lower inside of the Dow during this time period. Now this has got a total of 32 touchpoints out here. So there's 32 presidential elections that make up this cycle. So it's a pretty decent cycle.  So we're going to use from a market perspective, we're going to go ahead and use certainly the Dow as to what equity markets are likely to do. So here this typically forms a bottom right around January 3rd, January 4th. Today is January 3rd. Falls right in line with what we were just talking about. Then this suggests that we get a rally. And that rally here that would take us up into the 8th. So today is the 3rd. Let me just look at my calendar here. Not that I'm very good at adding to subtracting. The 8th would be Monday out there. And this goes along the line with the first question that came in was from an individual called KK. And the question was on my nine panel charges, a time to short each and every one of those. And then the following question was, which is the weakest out here? So first with regard to the equity markets, I would not tell anybody to short, based upon what we've done here, to short the markets now today. Instead what I would say is, if you're going to go ahead and get short, why don't you see if we get that one day bounce? And then just simply go ahead and sell irrespective of everything else out there. You may still be a little bit early knowing that it rallied that last three or four sessions out there. But if that's what you're looking for, today is not the day, even though we've got those change in trend signals out there for the daily time frame, for the ESN, for the NQ out there. So that's my recommendation. As we take a look at this nine panel chart out here, if in fact the spot follow tunics holds its 50-day exponential move in, average $13.88 in your day trader, then look to go ahead and trade that for one day to the downside. If you want to short the US dollar index and wait to see if in fact it holds 102.26, that's the top of its profile. If it does, that's potentially a shortable instrument. Gold, you wouldn't short. Gold right now is testing support at 2041. Silver, I wouldn't short out here because it'd be paying attention to what's going on with the US dollar index out there. Lights, we include the buy. This is not a shortable thing. You would not have shorted as price was testing support, which was the bottom of its profile and more likely was a buy. You wouldn't short the natural gas is trading above resistance levels and wants to go target the next resistance area. That's a 281. And I wouldn't be shorting the treasury when price is trading back into the buy zone of its bullish structured profile. That's between 120.215 and 120.302. So sorry to give you another overview of the nine panel charts out there, but there was a question that came in. I answer or certainly try to answer all questions. So speaking of questions, let's go take a look at the questions that have come in. And for this, we're going to go ahead and change our screens. We're going to go change over to the white background screens. We're going to take a look at Bank of America and that's for Duncan Steve inside the Tiger's Den. Here we've got our three panel charts out there. And Duncan, what we have is nothing more than good old fashioned consolidation with inside its daily profile. And that profile level of support is at 3316 and resistance up at on a weekly basis. This is going to go ahead and complete a TD nine count top this week. It is the high of this week. That is what was needed because we had to, well, let me just make sure of that. Price had to spike above 3407 this week. What did we get to yesterday? 3407 actually How is Stevie going to do that one out there on the bar following? Stevie's going to have to think about that. So what we're going to do, Duncan Steve and Stevie, Perseverance Rhodes, is we're just going to focus on the daily timeframe chart at this stage here. If we get it closed below the bottom of that profile, that's at 3316 Price is likely to get back and test this gap to the upside at least. And that high out there is at 3213. So closed below 3316 gets at least $1 lower out there. What else can I share with Stevo on Bank of America? Not much. I don't have anything else. I hope it was Bank of America that you were looking at. Maybe it was Boeing. Sometimes I tend to screw those up out there. But all I see right now in the daily basis of consolidation with inside of profile. So Duncan, I do hope that helps you out or anybody that was asking about Bank of America. Nancy, who loves Microsoft, day trades Microsoft, is asking if we could go take a look at it. When we take a look at Microsoft, what we know out here is we are going to be looking at the consolidation pattern and that's been set up by the daily time frame charts and that is its rectangular box. So rectangle consolidations you want to maybe sell from the top of the consolidation buy from the bottom of consolidation. We're pretty much at midstream right here. So you got neither from a daily perspective that gives you much of an advantage. Maybe it's a little bit below midstream out there. So perhaps this is telling us that price is going to go target between $365.16 and $367 even Steven. But if you're a day trader, what I did do Nancy's I spent a little bit of time trying to identify what time frame is providing you with the best signals. Now sometimes these signals will end up going away, but it is the 10 minute time frame chart that is providing you with the best information for day trading Microsoft. What Stevie means about that is we come all the way back here back here by the way is just simply the time frame chart. We're going to go back to the last session at 10 o'clock in the morning back on December 29 out there that triggered a road meant to indicator signal that signal was then confirmed with the bear sash candle at 1020 that high is held up. What price then did Nancy as it moved down. It created roads meant to indicator bottom it did that at 1240 in the afternoon on December the 29th that led to a rally towards its TD nine count breakdown level at 377 11 pattern. We don't always get them, but again we've gotten to a nice top and a nice bottom, you know then whether the day trade sets up you take it if it doesn't set up you don't take it or maybe you do and you look at some other tool out there turns out that is price move lower out here and that price moving lower this is on the trading day of January the 2nd. We come back out here and take a good January 2nd and put that together with that was yesterday put that together with the Microsoft chart price was pulling back and found supported that boba structure profile zone so that you know you kind of put two things together you always want to understand what's going on in the daily time frame out here I think you want to understand what's going on in multiple time frames well turns out that in the case of Microsoft on a 10 minute basis Nancy went ahead and formed both a TD nine count top and they sell the D point top and it did that at the trading time frame of 10 10 this morning and now what price is doing is pulling out that level of support is green so in a green also don't change I want to change from red to green if price able to hold that level that's actually a buy point when I suggest that you buy that based on everything else that we have going on here you make that decision I'm not going to make that decision for you out here but a price does close below that level you'll be looking for its next bottoming pattern in the case of Microsoft short of some pattern forming out here I don't have anything I would say that next bottoming pattern would be but I'm not saying that Nancy at 1126 because price is still above that green also don't change like look at the 10 minute chart I think that's provided you with the

charts for a bank of month three all up on our stream got the daily weekly and monthly this is for Joe D out here and Joe what we've got is we've got really a gigantic A to B equal CD to the upside so the A to B point started from the bottom of its TD nine count went right up here to what's marked as a wave number four that's letter D and you can see it was quite the expansion if we just simply move that over to the C point so that expansion level actually so you had a sell the D point pattern that formed on December 20th that I was negated two days later and then that formed a TD nine count top on December 26th that got negated the next day but we did get a bear sash candle and that was on December 28th and that confirmed the one to 2.618 A to B equal CD to the upside out there what took place yesterday is price pulled back and tested support that was the bottom of its profile 9788 today you're trading below that Joe so that suggests to you and I that there's a change of trend going on inside of Bank of Montreal so where's that going to take us to one the daily time frame chart the next level of support for it until new profiles form is down at 8712 is that likely is that a possibility it absolutely is a possibility because when we take a look at the weekly time frame chart which does not have a topping pattern so it's really being driven by the daily is if price does continue to move lower well its area of support is that oscillator and 95 and of course that number is going to change the next area potential support on this set of charts out here would be down at 9228 9828 is the top of its daily profile out there it's a deadly top of the monthly profile so Bank of Montreal generated a change in trends there's generated a change in trend signal today generating to sell the D point pattern a couple of days ago it looks like this wants to pull back further now this is only going to be day number two to the downside out here consecutive days that is so as we take a look at that or should be just depends on how the closes and if we take a look at this we can see we've had since the bottom we've had one three day pullback another three day pullback and then a two day pullback out here so this is still it all though it's got a change in trend signal out here Joe I don't want to get completely married to that until we see how many consecutive days we get to the downside if it's three or less out there this thing is still very bullish out here and maybe there's a new profile or some pattern that would form on an intraday basis to assist us but right now let's go with the signal that the technical tools are providing to you and I and that is that if we close below 9788 we have a change in trend and that suggests we've got a fairly decent pullback no I think that gets in the way that pullback is just simply the Texas two or three step out there today being the Texas two step with two consecutive days to the downside so Joe I hope that provided you with the information you were looking for now we're going to go take a few stocks that Jimmy D inside the Tigers den wanted to look at the first one is ENVX and ENVX is going to go ahead and form a TD nine count bottom today that pattern will complete tomorrow out there if we look at the weekly time frame chart the weekly time frame chart has a TD nine count top now what you don't like here course the week is not over is that prices trading below red oscillator and change line your price closes the week not on Wednesday but a price closes on Friday below 1204 that signals move back to the 903 973 maybe even 833 out there but if that's going to unfold that what we know is that the TD nine count bottom will fail now tomorrow is Thursday that's when the pattern confirms out there which you'd like to see taking place is you'd like to see some kind of bottoming pattern while this TD nine count pattern is forming I've said pattern a few times out there just deduct something from my pay here if we take a look at the daily time frame chart what I go to daily I thought it was the 30 minute chart okay so sorry about that didn't mean to pull that over there I'm not even sure why that's on the screen but on a separate screen that I've got now for the intraday standpoint let's look at a 30 minute time frame chart and see what we've got and Stevie says we don't have anything now I can draw a number of A to B CD patterns here to the downside is that enough out there maybe it is because price is trading above its oxygen chains out but there's no profile out here that's acting to support resistance there is that's up at the 1241 level out there but ENBX let me come back here that's a 30 minute chart you got a TD nine count so let's see if we change this just simply to a different time frame what's going on for example on a 15 minute basis and then we'll just check out the 65 so the 15 has got an erodesment of indicator bottom so that's saying this TD nine count bottom could take hold today out here Jimmy let's take a look at a 65 minute chart as well and the three of our shorter term times now there I don't have a bottom signal the bottom signal though would be testing the 1150 year that's a TD nine count breakout level for the 65 minute time frame keep your eye on this I don't know which way if you're assuming not shorting a $11 stock but if you're looking for a bottom keep watching the intraday charts out there along with the daily because you're getting that buy signal out there now the markets we're expecting are anticipating at least a one day bound so you know is that a sympathy bounce I don't know the answer that what I'm most concerned about on these charts Jimmy is that a 1203 level on the weekly chart because a price close below that it's a it's telling us it wants lower price of course that TD nine count on the daily would have to fail okay enough about an OVICS corp out there I did hold to hope that provides you with the information and Jimmy's got two more requests out here so let's take those this next one is a take a look at BYON one of the crowd favorites out there which is beyond meat and take a look at beyond meat what do we have here what we do have is we have a sell the deep point pattern that formed a couple of days ago and yesterday price closed below the bottom of its profile the bottom of its daily profile for beyond beyond ink is 26 86 so beyond ink is giving us a change in trend this signal as well turns out the weekly will go ahead and confirm a TD nine count top if price closes on Friday above 23 32 seems like a likely outcome but you never know out there so you're getting a top on the daily a top on the weekly that's going to suggest a further pullback or retracement the next downside target for beyond is going to be at about 21 72 I say about because that's the outside and change line that number is going to change a price were to close below that also during change line then we be looking at move back likely to the 1543 level 1543 being its 29 count break out here but we also see wave number seven top inside of beyond me so you got two different topping patterns not that that matters so you get a top on the daily you've got a top that looks like it's going to go ahead and complete on the or confirm on the weekly time frame looks and on the monthly time frame prices struggle at the top of its monthly profile so this looks like this also wants to do a retracement and hope that that provided with the information you were looking for your third request was to take a look at CWH out there and CWH right now testing profile support at 25 15 this is camping world holdings out there as long as that holds and this is got a TD 9 count top as long as that holds this either sets up maybe a consolidation with inside profiles that consolidation would range anywhere from 25 15 up to the 28 0 5 area the weekly chart for camping world does not have a topping pattern we are trading below the last week's low so that says watch 25 15 Jimmy D if you get a close blow 25 15 odds favor that this is going to pull back to 2080 now interestingly enough there's no oscillator and change line on here for the weekly so Stevie needs to do that let's get the right template installed out here but we're going to break so we come back from break with finished take a

is brought to you by Vista Gold traded on the NYSE American and TSX under the symbol VGZ so we're looking at the chart here for BYO when I was calling it beyond meet it's not beyond me thank you for the wing men and women inside the Tigers then to correct me that is the old overstock dot com out there and so just wanted to simply clarify that we will take a look at the chart here for CWH as we were going into that breakout there and I was looking for the weekly and change that's only comes into play out here Jimmy if we were to see two consecutive close blow twenty five fifteen that would then say twenty two ninety one or thereabouts would be the target no which you can watch for here is price at the patterns of work with what I'm what I'm saying about that to the account top on the daily price pulls back to support my price pull back to support we look to see the kind of intraday bottoming signals see if that support is likely to hold well turns out that on a thirty minute basis and this is exactly at ten thirty eleven thirty this generated a roadsman to indicator bottom and it confirmed a wave number seven bottom out here now what should unfold Jimmy at least intraday is a CWH camping world should at least rally up towards its oscillator and change line currently printed at twenty five seventy one now this is where it gets kind of a little tricky here because thirty minute profile that is forming right now is above price that's a bearish indication so right now you should at least get a rally up towards twenty five seventy one and if you can get above that then you be looking to move to twenty six or three or twenty six seventeen out there price gets up to that red oscillator change line and turns back down boy you've got to watch that low not just because it could negate a roadsman to indicator bottom on the thirty minute chart because that the bottom of that profile twenty five fifteen save everything in line right now for this area to hold now you've got to wait to see what buyers and sellers actually do out there so i hope that that helps you out jimmy d with those three instruments of not just right back to me let me know what else you are looking for dan wants to take a ticket symbol a q s t so let's fire up those charts out here a q s t let me make sure i'm on the right page here okay i am good alright so a q s t happens be a q s t therapeutics ink therapeutics ink even though my chart here i've got a little bit of a delay it is trading still with insiders profile so right now dano we've got i can't say dano because we actually have a dano it's consolidated with insiders profile that's between the range of one ninety one support two oh eight resistance we're trade right now a two oh eight the price close the day above two oh eight that's going to give you a change in trend signal out there pattern per se not the type of pattern pattern but pitter pattern not the type about bottom pattern so i guess i can't really can't say bottom patterns too much out here but not the type of bottom patterns i just wanted to prove that i could say it that is associated with the tools that i use doesn't matter if you close above the top of this daily profile it's going to signal a change in trend at the same time the weekly chart which did generate a road indicator top found support both at the center of its profile the centers where both buyers and sellers believe there's value with inside that profile but more importantly at that green oscillator and change line so it's trend is still to the upside out there it still isn't a bullish trend it's overall signal we have to say right now is more neutral because price found support after creating that high and with regard to the monthly time frame i just see a sideways move out there so you got a sideways move on the monthly the weekly says i want to go target 228 the daily says i'll let you target 228 but first you've got to prove that i close it above 208 and i prefer it not to be 208 or 209 but it could be out there so that's what i see when i take a look at aqst dan i hope that that helps you out and as always thanks so much for your request the next request coming in from kim who wants to take a look at live cattle much take a look at the current contract that is the february contract and that is what we've got up on the screen the question was is this a potential long and the answer is it most certainly was so let's come back and take a look at these tools out here me may want to consider utilizing these tools here kim this would certainly help you or would have identified for you that on december 8th that's when this generated the bottom signal that was a rogement to indicator bottom was confirmed with that bull sash candle out there now what we can see is there was another rogement to indicator bottom that formed out here and that was on the trading day of November 28th when that pattern formed what did price do got right up to resistance that was the bottom of that bullish structured daily profile so the zone of selling is between we know that's resistance is what between 173 67 to 174 68 well now prices run so much you're so close to that area if I knew that price could break through some resistance and I'd say yeah go ahead and take a long but I don't know that now maybe you know that maybe you know that because of some fundamental things that are out there but technically speaking trade at 170 85 right now knowing that you've got clear resistance at 170 365 I don't see it buy it on a pullback a pullback to where maybe that oscillator change line right now print at 167 30 if we look at the weekly time frame chart why did the rally yesterday stop where it did turns out that on the weekly time frame this formed a TD 9 cal bottom it completed that pattern on the candle following bar number nine now we've got a rally that rally ran right up into resistance the top of the weekly profile that's at 172 10 that's another reason for me to say it's definitely a potential long but you don't want to buy potential longs when they're up at resistance especially when the resistance levels that had held out there so it is absolutely a potential long what are you going to do I think you wait for some type of retracement now if we look at some intraday charts out here let's start with a 30 minute time frame chart see if there's any signals here for live cattle and the answer is she's none that I see so let's go from the 30 minute let's go down to a 60 minute time frame now somebody out there might say well we had to be used 65 on that other chart that was because it was an instrument that traded between 9 30 and 4 so we take a look I'd like to have equal time framed bars out there not you know and if you 60 minutes it says not going to work but if you 65 it will but on the equity future contract where we're trading and not all but I mean you know almost around the clock out there here why use the 60 minute time frame so after that whole long dissertation do I have any kind of a topping pattern bottoming pattern I don't I do have a price trading below profile so that's someone helpful what other time frame can we use out here let's use a two hour time frame chart see what kind of signals we get out there that this stage here I don't have anything here to help you with so right now at this stage I've got to say let's just refocus on the daily and the weekly time frame signals they've given you the information that you need there's definitely bottoms both on both the patterns out there it just price as a found resistance where it should have where the sellers were located and now you've got to wait for some type of retracement and I don't know if we'll get back to 167 and change out there but that would be an area for you to take a look at even on the monthly time frame chart out here price pulled back tested and found support at its breakout level at 164.65 so it does look like live cattle wants higher price the question is when to get in and at least now you know the resistance areas and again you really need to see a daily close let's new profile forms above 174.68 to suggest that this really has changed its trend and on the weekly time frame the close needs to be above that also in change line that's currently printed 175.33 you do that and then you've got a weekly or an intermediate term time frame change in trend chart out there so we're about to go to breakout here I've gotten through all of the questions that I'm familiar with so let's go take a look at the intraday charts out here for the ESNNQ we get back from this breakout there again we're expecting or anticipating that a bottom form today and we get at least a one day rally but there's a couple things that we're taking a look at to help us prove that Steve Rhodes with TFN we'll be right back you might think that if you want to be successful at trading in the stock market you're going

Let's go out to Miami, Florida and speak with Lori Lori thanks for calling Thanks for holding. How are you this morning? I'm doing alright. How are you this morning and happy new year to you and all your loved ones. I'm wondering about wheat, W-E-A-T. I own a thousand shares of it, bought it right around six and it's come down a little bit and I'm wondering what your advice would be about that. Okay. So if I take a guess, so what I didn't have enough time to do because you're calling so late towards the show, was just make sure and confirm that the three future contracts that make up the W-E-A-T ETF are the May 2024 contract, the July 2024 contract, and the December 2024 contract. I believe that it is and if I take a look at those three contracts, we have those up on our screen. We can see that price is trading below support and support being the bottom of their daily profiles and that is for each of them. When you chain below the bottom of profile, odds favor that you're going to head lower. There are some swing points that the, for example, the July 24th contract is trading into a swing point and if it did close today below $621.25, that's your signal it wants lower price. The May 2024 contract only needs a close below $613.75. We're trading below that right now and in the case of the December 2024 contract, it would be a close today below $647.50. That would suggest lower price. If you get that, if you could follow those future contracts out there, what I would probably do is I would jettison the position and I would just take a small little loss. You say it's trading at $575. You've got about $1,000 shares, so it's $25.50 because this thing could move all the way back to its most recent lows back in November out there. That's what I see, Lori, at this short brief. I'm not looking at intraday charts or anything like that right now, but the dailies right now are giving us enough information that looks like weed itself wants to continue to trade lower. I hope that helps you out. I wish I had a better New Year's message for you. I really appreciate your help today. You and your loved ones have a happy New Year. Thank you. You too and thanks much for calling. Folks, stay tuned for all the great programming. I'll be back with you tomorrow on Terrific Thursday. Please have a wonderful Wednesday. Be safe out there. We'll talk to you soon.
