Hi guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. So for today's video, it is always one of my favorite videos of the year to film.  So just the products that I recommend you purchase while you can get some money off. So if you want to see the items that I have picked out, then just keep watching. Also, today's video is in collaboration with one of my best friends here on YouTube. Isabella Goria Bella I freaking love that girl. Her and I have collaborated a few times before, so this is nothing new for my channel. And actually last year for this time of year's V.I.B. sale, we collaborated on this video already. And I don't know, I just love collabing with her and since we did this last year, why not do it again? Her and I have a very similar taste in makeup. She also does a lot of different style, like lifestyle videos on her channel as well. She has an awesome fashion sense. She does a lot of hauls, a lot of clothing hauls, a lot of makeup videos and just general lifestyle videos as well. I love her. She's like one of the most sweet people on the internet. I swear, so cute, so bubbly and just a genuinely deep down good person. I know you guys are going to love her channel if you aren't subscribed to her already, but I'm so excited to collaborate with her on this video again. I don't know, Bella, I think we need to collab on this V.I.B. sale video every time it comes up because I love collabing with you. So the dates of the sale, I almost forgot to tell you. Let me pull up my photos. The sale is starting April 17th if you are a Rouge member where you will be receiving 20% off. It's going to range from April 17th to May 1st for you. Make sure you all use code SPRINGSAVE.  And if you are just an insider, you get 10% off starting April 23rd going to the 27th. So that's all the information you need to know.  If you are not shopping, if you are not in the financial situation where you can be shopping right now, please don't. You know, makeup is not a priority during these times. You know, scary things are going on in the world. People are put into unexpected financial situations and yeah, if you can't shop, don't. There's going to be plenty of sales in the future. Even now for the sale, I'm not going to go crazy either. There's no need. I'm not leaving my house. So don't think I'm being insensitive or disregarding what's going on in the world with this video. Truly, I just do it every sale. My subscribers love it. It's one of my favorite videos to film and you're watching a makeup channel. I don't know what you expect. So one of the fun parts about collabing with Bella on this is we always pick a couple of products that we both equally agree should be recommendations. So the first recommendation that we agreed on was the Dior lip oils. These are incredible. So I have mine in the shade Rosewood. I just really like this color because I feel like it enhances my natural lip color. These glow oils are amazing.  No, this is sticky enough that it stays on your lip and actually works almost as a gloss. The sheer color of it still leaves just a hint on your lips so that for me with this specific color, it kind of just brings out the natural color of my lips, makes me look more alive. And as it sits on your lips, it moisturizes your lips. This is amazing. I like to put it on if I am not doing too much with my makeup and I just want a little bit of a shine, a little bit of imposition of my natural lip color. I love this. I highly, highly, highly recommend it and I know Bella does too. We both love it and I wasn't sure about this product. I heard a lot of great things about it at first and I was like, it's just a lip oil and then I tried it and I was hooked. This is amazing. I see what all the hype is about. Such a beautiful product. We also agreed on the Benefit Cheek Stars Reunion Tore palette. I recommend these every year because I really feel like they are such a great deal. Don't waste your money on the individual products. You get this at such a good value and for an additional like 20% off, why not? So in here you're getting a Hula bronzer, which is the bronzer that I used today. This is just a classic everyday color. You have a Georgia blush, which is their new blush. It's a bit light, a little bit sheer, not my favorite in this palette, but it still is really nice. A Dallas blush, which is a great everyday color. Sugar bomb, which is a nice light pink color and then cookie highlighter, which is one of my favorite highlighters of all time. Love this highlighter so much. I really love the warmer tones that they put in this this year. And I just buy these every year because they are a great quality product, a really fantastic value. And while you can get it for an additional percentage off, why not? And you know, I have a very light skin tone. Bella has more of a medium skin tone and this also looks really beautiful on her as well. So two different skin tones and we still absolutely love it. So highly recommend this palette so much. Now it's time to get into the favorites that Bella doesn't know that I picked out. I was trying to keep it small and reasonable just for the time of the year, but because I don't know how to hold myself back, looking at the table right now, I failed miserably. But anyways, these are all great products that I highly recommend. And first, I want to start off with an older product. I could do a whole video on Savora VIB products that I always recommend every single time.  It's a great time to restock or try out new skincare as well. Skincare is expensive, but it is important. And also those luxury items that you've been eyeing for a while, this is the time to get them. With that aside, let's get into the products that I'm recommending. So this one is kind of my item that I need to repurchase. I wasn't going to share this at first, but I figured since I am purchasing this, and it's a repurchase, I might as well share it with you guys. But this is the Smashbox Photo Finish Primerizer. This is the most moisturizing primer that I've ever tried. It is one of my all-time favorites, and I'm like right at the very bottom. I don't plan on switching this out for a different type of primer. I need this primer in my collection at all times. I have a lot of really nice moisturizing primers, but I just need this one because it feels so refreshing on the skin. It's so light because it is more of a liquidy consistency. And it just feels so refreshing, so smoothing, and it really quenches the thirst that my dry skin has. So I love this. This is what I personally am picking up. So I figured I would recommend it to you as well. I have a new moisturizing lip balm that I'm obsessed with that is way too overpriced for a lip balm, but it's great. This is the Tatcha the Kisu Lip Mask. I talked about this in my March favorites, and you all were very, very intrigued. I am liking this right now more than my Leneige Lip Mask. It's a little bit lighter of a consistency. I feel the Leneige is a bit sticky. This one has a gel. It soaks into the skin better, I feel. It's not as thick, but it's just as moisturizing. So I like the consistency of this on my lips better than the Leneige, and I'd argue it might moisturize my lips a little bit better than the Leneige. So I have been loving this, putting this on every morning. Every time I go to bed, it's been an awesome purchase. So I wanted to recommend that for you guys, like who doesn't need a lip balm. So it's an essential. It's good. Next up, I did want to mention one foundation or base kind of product for you guys. I'm not wearing it in today's video because your girl wanted a little bit full coverage, but with the weather getting warmer, it is time to switch over to your tinted moisturizers, lighter skin products. So I did want to recommend the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. This has been a classic for years. They reformulated last year, and I just love the reformulation. I think it is beautiful. I will link down below my original review last year when I tried out this tinted moisturizer. There's something about this that just makes your skin look so much better. You're literally getting like no coverage with this, but just the way it sits on the skin just makes your skin look so much more even and it's very, very natural even if like you're getting ready for a conference call or a Zoom call since we can't leave our house.  So this is even great for wearing around the house to keep your skin moisturized and just to give you that little pick-me-up that you need. I think one of the best tricks to being productive while at home is to get ready at the beginning of the day, even if it is just throwing on a little bit of tinted moisturizer and mascara. Doing that a lot of times helps you prepare for the day and helps you just feel more motivated and ready like it's time to work and this is a great product to throw on. It's very light and it makes your skin look awesome. Concealer. Okay, this is going to be absolutely no surprise to you because I have not been holding back about how I feel about the Pat McGrath Skin Fetish Sublime Skin Perfecting Concealer. Ooh, this is my current favorite concealer that I have mine in the shade Light Medium 9. This is full, full coverage without being too cakey. It is not a thin consistency, but given how much coverage it gives you, it is kind of thin. I really like that despite the coverage. It also isn't drying somehow. You know, Tarte Shave Tate, yeah, you get so much coverage, but that made my under eyes look like the Sahara Desert. This has a little bit less coverage, but it is made up for in the consistency of the concealer. It's just one of the best that I've ever tried. I, you need this. It's really, really good. I, I don't know what else to say about it. I've already waxed poetic about it enough, but I love it. And then of course you have to get the under eye setting powder too. I am so sorry. I have mine in the shade Light. I think I might actually pick up a medium as well while the sale is happening because this powder is so finely milled. It is so blurring on the skin that I need this in a darker shade so I can put it all over my face. I mean, despite that, I already put this all over my face and my skin just looks so beautifully blurred and set and I need it in a darker color because I want to do so much more with this powder. Put it everywhere. I haven't come across a powder that is so silky. It is crazy. So this is my new favorite under eye setting powder as well. I don't know what it was or what magic she put into this but these are so good. I think she needs to come out with a foundation that kind of corresponds a little bit more with this concealer because if it's anything like this concealer, we are in for a treat people but these are like my two favorite products of the moment ever. So now let's get into some powder products. First, I'm going to talk about my favorite blush palette currently and that is the NARS Overlust Cheek palette. I resisted on this for so many weeks and eventually I had to cave in. I am so glad that I did. I just love the colors in here except I can't get it open. If you are a neutral blush lover, you are going to love the colors in here. Now, I do have to admit, not the biggest fan of the highlighters. They're a nice like really creamy texture and they do look really pretty and smooth on the skin. But I don't know, they lack something for me. They're not my favorite formula. I think they're okay, but the blushes stand out so much to me and the highlighters pair nice with the blush. But I always go to other products for highlights, but I do like them as blush toppers and if you're just like really neutral, kind of more leaning warm blushes, you're going to love this. This has the perfect, most approachable colors. The formula is really nice and I mean, who doesn't love a good NARS blush palette? And this is an incredible time to purchase this because it is an incredible product. Okay, so this I'm really only recommending for medium and deep skin tones because I just love the texture of this blush. This is the Natasha Denona Bloom highlighting blush. This is one of her new blushes. It's $20 and for Natasha Denona, that is not a bad price at all. You're getting how many grams of product? Four grams of product for $20 and then that's before the extra percentage off. Okay, on me, I'm wearing it today. I've used it a few times now and it's a bit too bright for me, but I try and make it work because I love the texture of it on the skin. It just has just the right amount of sheen and glow to it without being glittery. It blends out really beautifully and I just love the tone of this blush. I don't really think it's made for us light skin tone people, so don't really recommend it. If you do have a lighter skin tone and you want to use this blush, lightly pat like once, shake it off, pat it on your hand and then put it on your cheeks to get that really pretty wash of color, but medium and deep skin tones you are going to love this. It is very reminiscent of Orgasm X. That is what somebody commented and I do have to agree with you. I don't own Orgasm X from NARS, but it does remind me of that and I have got a lot of questions as to how this compares to the bigger palettes. After this video, I'm going to take pictures comparing this to the colors in the Daria and Citrus palette. I'm going to post that on my community tab, so make sure you put on your notification bell and I will post that on my community tab and you'll be notified when I post it. Also, to remind you, I did use my Sonia G soft cheek brush to apply it, which was the perfect brush because it's not too dense. And if you didn't hear Sonia G, she has restocked today, so hopefully her brushes are still available again. If you missed it, it's because your notification bell is not on for me because I posted about it. Okay, just saying. Had to remind you. Also, something very, very exciting. The Hourglass Ambient Metallic Shoe Lighting Palette did come to Sephora. I was worried that it wasn't going to, but it did. So if you aren't aware, this came out in 2017 for the Holiday Collection. Everybody went crazy over this highlighting trio and it was limited edition and it didn't come back until three years later. So this is a new re-release. People have been dying for this trio and this is the Metallic Ambient Powder and the Metallic Ambient Powder isn't very common in Hourglass. You can't just go and pick up one of their metallic powders. So this is the time to get it. You can't buy these shades individually. You can't buy this formula individually. So today I used my Sonia G Cheek Pro Brush and I mixed it in these two. And you'll see my demo. I applied way too much, but just so you can see how much power these beaming highlights have. And I think what's really special about them is how easy they are to blend into the skin, not onto the skin. So even though it was kind of scary upon initial application, I took it over to the other cheek, blended the product in and now my skin just looks crazy beaming, but my texture isn't emphasized. So if you don't like a beaming-beaming highlight, I think Hourglass has better options for you and other powders. What I like about these powders and what I think is special is that you can really work them into the skin to kind of tone them down and get the look that you're looking for or you can kind of be obnoxious. But this is one of those special highlighters where it doesn't emphasize texture and it looks very glowy. You know, I could not do without eyeshadows and of course I think now is the time to invest into your luxury eyeshadow brands that you've been eyeing if you have. And I recently did a Tom Ford ranking video and you guys loved it and you're telling me what's on your wish list. Now is the time to pick up those Tom Ford quads. You have been eyeing. Last I could see Daydream which was my number one favorite Tom Ford quad was sold out at Sephora. So I don't know if they're going to restock that but that is available at Nordstrom but the ones that they do have at Sephora. Let me share that. I recommend we have Honeymoon here if you like more of those warmer toned neutrals. I also recommend the classic new dip. This is kind of a, if you are going to collect Tom Ford you need to have new dip kind of color. It's a cult favorite. It's more of those cool tone neutral neutrals but even if you don't like cool tones like this is still really pretty. I highly highly recommend. And then I think I put so many of you guys onto this quad because it's incredible. Pretty baby, purple eyeshadow lovers. This one is so good. This duo chrome is one of the most incredible duo chrome shades ever. So if you're looking into maybe picking up your first Tom Ford or adding to your collection now is the time to do it because these babies are expensive. Also for Natasha Denona, I have two recommendations. Of course we have the new mini retro palette which is pretty affordable to begin with. This is $25. But hey, if you can get it for an additional percentage off, why not?  I think it's a great way to try Natasha Denona especially if you can get it cheaper. It's super cute and the colors are great for spring. The only thing is I feel like this looks better on people with more of a yellow undertone because these shades if you're not very yellow they can pull more gray and I was hoping for more of like an olive green kind of color with these but on my pale skin tone it just looks super gray on me which I don't mind. I like gray shadow but just wasn't what I was expecting. But other than that, the quality of this is fantastic and I really, really love the colors in here for spring. So this is a great option. And then of course I had to mention my love palette from Natasha Denona. This is one of her newest palettes and if you like pinky purple kind of shadows you will really enjoy this palette. I don't like her cream to powder formula in here. She has a couple of those other than those like two duds. Everything else is fine, beautiful formula. Really great value to begin with as well. Perfect size and you get to own that Natasha Denona formula. So I'm wearing the love palette right now if you would like to see how I did this look. I basically did an almost identical look on my original review of this palette. So I would check that out to see what I used. I also have an individual tutorial using this where I created more of a red look. So you really have to like this purple red kind of tones.  So I definitely don't think this is for everybody but I just wanted to remind you that this is out there ready to be purchased. And then a last brand of eyeshadows that I wanted to share with you is Charlotte Tilbury. So I want to recommend the pillow talk instant eye palette to you guys. I personally love her big shadow palettes. I think the formula in them tends to be really special and you really see how good her formula is when you have a wider range of tones. Now with this palette, it is all kind of the same tone. I do think some of her bigger palettes are better and have more variety. If you love these tones, you will love this palette. The quality in here is incredible. You can get more wearable looks. You can get more crazy cranberry look, but I love this guy. I think it's really pretty and I love a good pink eyeshadow. So I like this and I recommend it. But also what came to Sephora is her eye magic color collection. Again, I did a full review on that collection. Loved it. So basically she came out with four different quads that are supposed to emphasize the color of your eye. But the two that I love and I talked about these in my favorites. So I don't want to go too far into it, but I love mesmerizing maroon. This one has more maroon almost plummish shade. So if you like these tones, you will really like this one. And then also the rebel or this one is actually called green lights. But this used to be called the rebel. If you like more green tones, you will really, really love this one. Any Charlotte Tilbury quad that you've been eyeing, I would recommend picking them up. I always try and pick up at least one Charlotte Tilbury quad during the sales because I am working on broadening my collection of these guys because the formula of these are so good. What I really like about the quads especially is that you can just kind of splash these on your eyes and your eyes look amazing. The way that her eyeshadows shimmer are very unique to where you can put shimmer all over your eyelid and it actually doesn't look ridiculous. So there is something about the way that these sparkle on the eye and if you follow her recommendations for the prime, the contour, the smoke and the pop, it's just a really thoughtless look. And I mean, they are a little bit expensive, but I would be lying if I said I didn't love her quads. So now's the time to pick them up. But of her new ones, I love mesmerizing maroon and I love green lights. The last item that I have to recommend to you guys is the skincare item that I have been obsessed with has changed my skincare routine. This is the Erno Blazlo Detoxifying Cleansing Oil. I will never go without a double cleanse in my routine again. So what a double cleanses is you use an oil based cleanser first and then you go in with your regular cleanser. The point is the oil based cleanser is supposed to get off the residual makeup that you left on your face. There are some that recommend you take your makeup off with. I like to take my makeup off first and let this get whatever my dirty self left over and I think it really has improved the cleanliness of my skin which has reduced the amount of breakouts that I've had. Because it's an oil, it also feels very moisturizing on my dry skin and truly I think it's just completely changed my skin. So I've been loving the Detoxifying Cleansing Oil from Erno Blazlo. It has been a game changer in my skincare routine. So I wanted to recommend that to you guys. I was a mouthful. That is all I have for today's video. I hope you guys enjoyed it. Of course, don't feel obligated to shop for this sale. There will be plenty of sales in the future. I mean, I am going to purchase from the sale though. Somebody's got to stimulate the economy, okay? And I will take one for the team. But now don't put yourself at financial risk for makeup. It's not that serious. But I did want to share with you some of the things that I thought would be nice to purchase. So that is all I have for today's video. I hope you guys enjoyed it and found it helpful. Make sure you check out Bella's video to see the products that she recommends for the sale. These are one of my favorite videos to watch as well. I just love seeing what people love from Sephora.  I want to know what some of your pics are that you are picking up from the sale if you can, what you're putting on your wish list for the future. If you aren't subscribed to my channel, I hope you guys take the time to do so and make sure you go subscribe to Bella as well. And I will see you guys in the next video. Bye, guys. Have a good one.


Well, I'm Bill Kenneson. I'm the survivor of a survivor, which means I survived everything she went through, which sometimes is interesting. But that's who I am. My wife is going on a 10-year survivor. I got involved with the men's support group nine years ago, a few months after I got involved in it, the leader of the support group died. And so I kind of inherited this group. And so I've been doing that for nine years. I felt like the reason I'm involved in the support group is I felt that John West and Brest, Lincoln, Cordelia Knott Center saved my wife's life. So when we got near the end of the chemo and getting ready for surgery and all that, I told her then I'd like to give back time in whatever way that they wanted. Dr. West talked to me and thought I was so personable that he said, you know, we'd like for you to get in the men's support group. So I said, fine. And then like I said, the gentleman that had started it actually passed away in just a few months. So all of a sudden I had this support group and I've enjoyed it for nine years. Sounds weird, but I've enjoyed doing it. The support group is made up of basically husbands of wives that are going through breast cancer or boyfriends or partners, whatever the case might be. My situation was when my wife was battling breast cancer and going through all the chemo and the therapy and all that, it was it was it was very difficult for me because I had always been the type of person that took care of my family. I raised my three brothers. My brother was the comedian Sam Kenison. I was his manager. I was always, you know, getting him out of trouble and everything else. And that's what my life was about. I was a minister. I'd been a minister for 17 years and just helping people. Well, all of a sudden I think for probably the first time in my life, I'm facing a situation I have no control over. I have no control over if she's going to survive. I have no control over how she's going to handle anything she's going through. And for me personally, I made it very, very difficult, very difficult. And I think most men feel that way because you're supposed to protect your family. Your family is supposed to be able to depend on you. You're supposed to take care of your family. Now you have probably the closest person to you in your life that's facing a life threatening disease and there's nothing you can do except be a cheerleader. And so we, I got involved with the support group. It's usually a two session support group to two evenings and two weeks. The first evening is to get everybody to open up, which sometimes takes some work. Get all the guys to open up. It's guys only. It's anonymous, whatever they say in there, stays in there. But to get them up and tell the story of what they're going through or, you know, what happened to their wife, how they got, you know, how they got to this point.  And she'd tell me, you're smothering me. So the next day I'd be like, all right, well, I'll sit here and whatever she needs, then it'd be like, well, don't you care? You know, you're just sitting there. Why don't you help me? So I finally just went, I'll tell you what, I love you. I'll do whatever you want me to do, but you're going to have to tell me. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. And so we deal with those mental approach we do not. We do not deal with the medical advice on anything. I mean, they can say what they're going through, but we don't answer medical questions. We usually have a doctor, Dr. Wester, Dr. Link that come in and will answer those questions that they have. But it gives a release for the guys that they're not out there by themselves.  She's getting all this therapy. And you're sitting there watching the kids wondering if she's going to live. Wondering if she's going to be there to help raise her children and stuff. And that's very difficult. So that's pretty much what our support loop's based on. Thank you. I think probably the biggest advice that we give them is to try to keep a positive outlook. We don't push, you know, religion or religious things, but I believe in faith and I tell them that, that a lot of times when you exercise all the natural things you can do, every once in a while you get into an area that supernatural things happen. And so our biggest advice is to have these men get mentally, mentally approach it in a positive manner and not deal with it that they may be gone.  You're going to make it tomorrow. You're naked next week. We're going to meet it. And over 97% new. And when I got there, it was a lot lower than that. I had nothing to do with it. But I mean, that's how much the cancer treatments and different things that they have done has helped. And so that's the biggest advice we give them is the mental approach. Thank you. Thank you everyone.


Okay. Good morning, everyone. Good morning to our online students as well. Hope my voice is audible. Give me a thumbs up if it is. If the voice is audible, it's probably okay. Alright. So last week, we did only one hour of class. So we looked at a couple of portions of chapter 9, the Shadows of the Cross. So we looked at the Shadows of the Cross and this week we go to chapter 10. We look at the cross in prophecy. Now, as we always say, the cross is not something that God decided all of a sudden. The cross was there from the beginning. Before the foundations of the world, the cross was already prepared. And when God wanted to do something, He always spoke to His prophets. And so we look at all through the Old Testament. We see that it's not only about the cross, but God is speaking to the prophets and talking about what Israel will be as a nation, what will happen to that nation. So we look at it all the way from Abraham itself. So now let's look at the cross in prophecy. Let's look at a few portions here. In Psalms 2, it talks about, I will give you the nations for your inheritance. And so in the book of Psalms, there are many prophecies about Jesus, about the cross especially. And let's read this. I know it's a long, not very long, but let's read Psalms 2. Maybe one of us can read Psalms 2. The whole chapter? Yeah, the entire chapter of Psalms 2. Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers bend together against the Lord and against His anointed saying, Let us break their chains and throw off their sickles. The one enthroned in heaven, Lord the Lord scops at them.  I will proclaim the Lord's decree. He said to me, you are my son. Today I have become your father. Ask me and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth, your potions. You will break them with the road of iron. You will dish them to pieces like potry. Therefore you king be wise. We want you rulers of the earth, serve the Lord with fear and celebrate His rule with trembling, kiss His son or He will be angry and your way will lead to your destruction. For His way, for His breath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him. Thank you. If you look at the entire Psalms 2, it's pointing towards the one who is anointed, the anointed one. Let's look at a few verses from there. Verse 5 says, Then he shall speak to them in his wrath and distress them in his deep displeasure. Yet, verse 6, I have set my king on my holy hill of Zion. Let's look at verse 7. I will declare the decree. The Lord has said to me, You are my son. Today I have begotten you. And if you look at prophecy to the cross, after what Jesus did for us, we become sons and daughters of the Lord Jesus. Ask of me. This is a very famous verse that we always use. Ask of me and I will give you the nations for your inheritance. The ends of the earth for your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron. So all of this is talking about the anointed one, the Lord Jesus and what he did. Let's look at verse 11. Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the son lest he be angry. And you perish in the way. When his wrath is kindled but a little, blessed are those who put their trust in him. So when you look at the book of the entirety of Psalms 2, we see that we're talking about this anointed man of God, the anointed king. Let's look at the next one. They divide my garments. Psalms 22, 16 through 18. It's there on your notes. So maybe one of us can read that. Psalms 22, 16 through 18. It's on your notes. For dogs have surrounded me. The congregation of the wicked has enclosed me. They pierced my hands and my feet. I can count all my bones. They look and stare at me. They divide my garments among them. And for my clothing, they cast lords. So what a pinpoint prophecy of the cross. Now this has written hundreds of years before. What does it say there? Dogs have surrounded me. The congregation of the wicked have enclosed me. What happened on the cross? The wicked people who, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the Romans, they were all there. And what did they do? They pierced my hands and my feet. Now David is writing under the anointing of the Holy Spirit and David is writing about the cross. And it's so accurate. They pierced my hands and feet. I can count all my bones. They look and stare at me. I think last class we talked about the crucifixion. The word crucifixion is excruciating. It comes from that word excruciating. What is excruciating? A pain that cannot be borne. Excruciating pain. And when you look at the cross, I shared last week how the Lord Jesus took up extra because it was usually during crucifixion they would just take the person, crucify him. And that's why the debt would take longer time. But Jesus was scourged and beaten. And we know the Roman lashes of 37 lashes and that would have been so painful. And the point was, the pilot wanted to say, okay, let him go. Just leave him. But they said no crucify him. So half his body was already beaten up. And then the cross happened. And that's where this thing, I can count all my bones. They look and they stare at me. Verse 18, they divide my garments among them and for my clothing they cast lots. Accurate? Very, very accurate. Let's look at the next one. Not one of his bones is broken. Psalm study 420. He guards all his bones. Not one of them is broken. Again, it was a prophecy which was fulfilled. So what does it teach us when we read all this? God is not just giving us an overall prophecy. Okay, the cross is going to happen.  It's not an overall prophecy. God is speaking to these prophets and giving point by point a revelation of what is going to happen. If you look at in the other books, I think in Isaiah it says when he comes he will be like a man with no, there will be no greatness in him.   You look so beautiful. No. There was nothing beautiful about him.  There was nothing like, oh, very great Jesus. You look very smart. Nothing. It was just a regular person who was walking around, but he was the son of God. The book of Isaiah says he will eat curds. I forget the portion there. He will eat curds. He will walk with people point to point and some of the prophecies say he will be born in Bethlehem. Now, how did this prophet know hundreds of years before that these two will go to Bethlehem? Is he God? He knows the entire picture. When you look at it, you look at all these prophecies. He knows the entire picture even before the picture has been painted. Not one of his bones will be broken. Next one. Fierce witnesses. Psalms 35, 11. Fierce witnesses rise up. They ask me things that I do not know and that happened in the book of Mark 14, 57, 58 where they asked him, tell us who are you? Are you the Messiah? Are you the son of God? Are you the one we are going to be waiting for?  I am the Messiah. And fierce witnesses rise up against him. My own familiar friend, Psalms 41 and verse 9. Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me. And who is this talking about? Judas? Yeah. So Luke 22, 47 to 48. Even my own familiar friend in whom I have trusted, who I ate bread with, has lifted his heel against me. Now who's writing this? Psalms. Yeah. So David is writing this. Another anointing. He's writing it about Jesus and what will happen later on. Right. Shame and spitting. Isaiah 15 verse 6. I gave my back to those who struck me and my cheeks to those who plucked out the beard. I did not hide my face from shame and spitting. Right. Again, Isaiah is writing about what is going to happen to Jesus. I gave my back to those who struck me. My cheeks to those who plucked the beard. Did they do that? Yes. They beat him. They scourged him. They plucked his beard. They spat on his face. They said, oh look, the king is here. The king of the Jews. They mocked him. They ridiculed him. But all of this was spoken of earlier. Wounded in my friend's house. Zechariah 13 and verse 6. And what will say to him, what are these wounds between your arms? Then he will answer, those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. Right. Last one. Me whom they have pierced. Now this we know. Zechariah chapter 12 and verse 10. And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and supplication.  Yes. They will mourn for him as one mourns for his only son and grieve for him as one grieves for the first one. They will look upon him whom they have pierced. Right. So all of these wonderful prophecies and there are many, many, many more prophecies which we will go to the next chapter and see. But can you picture the Lord Jesus in his ministry. He's opened up the book of Isaiah and he's reading all this. So man, this is me one day. Right. Remember he in his first public appearance as an adult when he started his ministry. What did he do? He went, he found the book of Isaiah and he read from there. Right. So he would have also read all of this. So he knew what's ahead of him. Right. He knew that all of this is going to happen to him and he took it up with gladness. Right. So let's go to the next chapter. Isaiah 53 talking about the cross described. Right. Any questions on this? I'm sure we all have learned about this in terms of, you know, even in the Old Testament we've seen and read all of this. So, but any questions? Any questions from our online students? No. So the point he's trying to say is they asked me things that, you know, which were not in line with what was happening there. So for example, they asked him, tell us are you the king of the Jews? He knew it, but it was not like, so remember like prophecies are something that the Psalmist is putting his place in that position. Right. He's putting himself there. He's writing under the anointing, but he's putting himself there. Right. So it's a prophecy that is going to happen, but he's trying to put himself in that situation. So even if you look at the previous ones, this was most of the prophecies are when David was running away. Right. So fierce witnesses will rise up. They asked me things that I don't know meaning. It was more of, you know, asking him about not related to Jesus in the terms of, you know, asking questions, you know, what is going to happen in the cross? What is, you know, this is what is going to happen. He knew everything. All through the, his ministry, he said, you know, today I'm going to go to the cross. But the point is those fierce witnesses. Right. The other portion of they asked me things that I do not know can be, you know, things that they probably asked him during his, you know, during his whole time of persecution. And there are times when Jesus did not answer. Right. He chose to answer. Does he know everything? Yes. But he chose not to answer. And he just walked away in some places. So the point is the fierce witnesses who rose up against him. Right. Knowing that, I mean, we know that the Lord Jesus when he walked, he walked in under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. There were things that, you know, he was not omnipresent. Right. He walked in sonship glory, but he knew according to scriptures, he knew what was going to happen to him. Right. And these fierce witnesses, probably he's reading it and he's saying, Oh, man, one day, all these fierce witnesses. Now he never would have thought the Pharisees, probably he never thought will the Pharisees and Sadducees come against him in such a strong way that the Romans didn't want to kill him. Romans or what? They were there. They were the Jews, the Israelites were under the Roman rule. If imagine Pilate is saying, let him go. If the Pharisees and Sadducees, okay, let him go, but he should not be here, then they will let him go. They will let Jesus go, but it was not God's plan. The plan was these fierce witnesses will rise. They will rise against him. They will mock him, spirit him. They will cause him to go into this whole place of, you know, persecution. So, yeah. So it's more about the fierce witnesses that rise up against him. Right. Any questions from our online students? Okay. All right. Now let's go to Isaiah 53. Isaiah is one of the most powerful books when we read it. How many of you have read the entire book of Isaiah? You have, right? It's quite confusing, no? Because sometimes you're reading it's like, oh, it's going all over the place. You know, unprofit, he's saying something here, then he's saying something here. It's full of emotions in that book.  I will take you out of this nation. Then suddenly he's saying, I'm there with you. I will comfort you when you fall down. I will lift you. It's too much of emotions. Now, the book of Isaiah is called a mini Bible. Why? Because it's got everything in it. There is God's love. There is judgment. There is persecution. There is healing. There is everything in that. Right? So chapter 1 to chapter 39 deal with the law and judgment. Right? That's where we see chapter 1 with chapter 39. And even in between these chapters, chapter 1 and 39, every now and then you'll find these prophecies popping up, right? But it deals with law and judgment. Chapter 40 to 66 deal with comfort, salvation, and future glory. Now, the book of Isaiah written 750 BC. So about 750 years before Jesus was born, Isaiah is writing. Right? So Isaiah, the prophet served under four Jewish kings and had a ministry that lasted about 50 to 70 years. He was a married man. His wife was a prophetess. Then they had two children. But now let's look at the authenticity of the book of Isaiah. Yesterday we were talking about the Bible. Is it authentic? Is it something that we can believe? Is it written by some other people, whatever they feel like? But let's look at the authenticity of this book. Malachi was the last book of the Old Testament, 400 BC. And the oldest available copies of the Old Testament. I'm sure you're learning all of this in OT. But let's just quickly look at this. The oldest copies of the Old Testament books were about 980, which is 1,300 years from the completion of the last book of OT. So 1,300 years later, then came the Dead Sea Scrolls. How many of you have read about the Dead Sea Scrolls? Read about it. You must read about it. In 1947, the Dead Sea Scrolls was found. Almost the entire Old Testament was found. The writings of the Old Testament was found. And they were all rolled up. And there was papyrus. And all these materials were used to protect them. And almost the entire Bible, apart from Esther, was there. Now in that, the book of Isaiah was the complete book. And written in the same... So if you take, say for example, the NKJV. You have the NKJV here, an English Bible, English Bible. And you have the Dead Sea Scrolls of Isaiah here. How many years before? Almost 700 odd years before. Here you have a Bible. Here you have the Dead Sea Scrolls. Now, when you compare them, it is on point accurate. So it's not like somebody said, Okay, let me fool the Christians and write something in Hebrew and all that. Roll it up in one place and just hide it in some mountain. Nobody has time for all that. What was written years ago is even available now. All that we read in the book of Isaiah is authentic to those who wrote it that time. Now we know there were scribes during the Old Testament. So Isaiah would have written and then over time there were scribes. Tell me who was a scribe in the Old Testament. Tell me a name of a scribe. Come on, you should know there's a quiz. The name of a scribe. Who was a scribe? Ezra was a scribe. Remember Nehemiah built the walls. He said, Ezra, you come and read the scriptures to all of us. So these scribes were there who would write copies of the Old Testament. So Dead Sea Scrolls is a copy of the book of Isaiah. Written way back hundreds of years ago and now it's thousands of years ago. And it's accurate. It's the same thing. Now here's what I want to say. Now, yeah, thank you, Shukumas and Ezra. Now, for example, each one of you. I give you all a paper, online students as well. I give you all a paper and I say, go to your rooms, take half an hour, write what you learned in Bible college in this one year and what was your experience in one year? And you all will write and all come back.  I liked the supernatural hour, the sessions were good and this is what happened. This is where our horse, but the essence of everything that you've written would have been the same. But the style in which you have written it will be different. Maybe one of you started off with the supernatural hour, writing about that. Maybe one of you started off with the facility, the place. So when you look at the Gospels also and when you look at translations, of course they were word to word. But when you look at other translations that we have now, many people say, hey, it's so different. When you look at the New Testament, the Synoptic Gospels, Matthew is saying something. Mark is saying something. Mark is using the names of people. Luke is going into detail. Why didn't Matthew go into detail? Why didn't John go into detail? See, so people have all these questions. But all of them are writing of the same account. What is the account? Jesus' ministry. Jesus is dead. Matthew is not saying Jesus was on the cross and Mark is not saying Jesus died by drowning in the pool. It's all one. But the way it's put across is very different. So when you look at this, the Dead Sea Scrolls and the translations we have now, you may take a message translation now and put the Dead Sea Scrolls and you may say, hey, it's different. Now we know the message translation. It explains the verse. But the essence is the same. The essence, the point that is being put across is the same. So these Dead Sea Scrolls, especially the book of Isaiah, it's so wonderful. There's no other place or there's no other religion where scrolls of such old material have been kept and have been authenticated even now. When we look at people who are in apologetics, are you learning apologetics this semester? Maybe next semester. So apologetics is to give a defense for the gospel. And most of them from other faiths say, one thing we know about the Christians is the scriptures they have, the word of scriptures they have is very authentic. Now they may not believe, okay, Jesus is the Lord, Jesus is God. He came into this world. They may not believe it, but one thing is the scriptures that are written, it's very authentic. Nobody has, it's dead. There's proof. And there's also, you know, historians and people who are in apologetics say, one thing we know there was a man named Jesus. And he died on the cross. So that will not change. So that is history. That is proof that it's there. This, the book of Isaiah, is proof that it existed. It is proof that there was a man named Isaiah. It was proof that he was there ruling under Jewish kings, living in Babylon for some time under captivity. That is proof. And what he has written is under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. So we're going to look at three views of this amazing, amazing portion of Isaiah 53. First view is a view that sees what Christ would accomplish on the cross as foretold by Isaiah. So the first view is what Christ accomplished on the cross. What did Isaiah say about the cross? Two is where we as believers see what has been made available for us on the cross. That is also mentioned in Isaiah 53. Third view where we as believers see the imitation of the cross that is how we apply the cross in our daily lives as instructed in the New Testament. So we're going to look at these three views all from the book of Isaiah. Let's look at the first one. Everyone with me, you're able to understand what's going on. So Isaiah 53 is authentic. It is true. The Dead Sea Scrolls have proved that they are so real and true. We're going to look at three ways. One, what did Christ accomplish on the cross? What Isaiah wrote? Two, as believers, what is made available to us? And three, as believers, how we can imitate the cross, how we are to apply the cross in our daily life. Let's read Psalms 52 and verse 13. Let's just read that. Psalms 52 verse 13. Go ahead. Is that 53 or 52? Okay, it's 52. Is there on your notes? One of you can read it please. Yeah, read it. Behold my servant, Isaiah 52, 13. Read it. Isaiah 52 and verse 13. Isaiah 52 verse 13. See, my servant will act wisely. He will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted. Yeah. See, my servant shall be prudently. He shall be exalted and extolled and be very high. This is a different version. Now, the Hebrew word for servant is Abed. And Isaiah is speaking of Abed Adonai, which is the servant of the Lord. Now, how many of you know what a born servant is? And the Apostle Paul uses this word, right? I'm a born servant of Christ. Now, let me just explain it to you. When an Israelite has a certain debt, right? And he's not able to repay that debt. So for example, Prince, I have a debt that I have to repay to Prince. And I'm not able to repay it. So I go to Prince and I say, Prince, you have two choices. Prince has two choices. He can put me into prison and say, hey, until you clear your debt, you're going to be in prison. Or he can say, okay, you can't pay my debt. Now I have this whole field, this whole land, and I need some servants in my house. So you come for the next 10 years, you have to work for me. You can't say, where is my pay? Where is my food? Nothing. You have to come and work for me. Why? Because you owe money to me, right? Now I say, okay, better than being in prison, at least I'll be with, you know, he may give me a shelter to stay and food to eat. And I'll work for him. I may not get money, but I'm clearing his debt. Right? So 10 years, like debt will be cleared. Right? So I go to Prince and say, okay, Prince, I'll work for you. And I'll, whatever you say, I'll do. So he can say, go to this other country, bring something and come. He can do anything. He can say anything with, and I have to do it. Why? Because I'm a bond servant right now. I cannot run away. Right? If I run away, he can, you know, again, if he can catch me. And then this time he can put me into prison. Right? So I am obligated to everything that he says to me. Why? Because I have something to repay to him. Right? And so that is what a bond servant is. Now after the 10 years, right, I can go to Prince and say, 10 years is over. I've done what you have told me to do. Now, can you please release me from my, from this place, from this, what I'm doing and I want to go. Now he has to release me. Or if I enjoyed or I say, hey, Prince was a very good master.  You know, he, he gave me food. He, he also looked after me, gave me sick leave. Right? He looked after me. So no, I will continue to work for Prince. Now I'm not a bond servant and this is servant to him. Right? So there's a difference between a bond servant and a servant. Right? Now here it says, behold my servant, a bed, bond servant shall deal prudently and he shall be exalted. Right? And, and here's the thing. Isaiah foretold the resurrection, ascension and exaltation of Jesus Christ. And we know this fulfilled in Philippians chapter two was nine through 11. So maybe one of us can read that. Philippians two, nine through 11. Philippians chapter two was nine to 11. Therefore, God also has highly exalted him and given him the name which is above every name. That at the name of Jesus, every niche should bow and of those in heaven and of those on the earth and of those under the earth. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord to the glory of God, the Father. That every niche shall bow, every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord for the glory of the Father. Now behold my servant shall deal prudently means he will walk wisely and he shall be exalted and extolled and be very high. Is this prophecy fulfilled? Yes. Yesterday we talked about the whole thing of the end times. Right? After Jesus died on the cross, he goes. He Ephesians four happens and he goes. He takes the keys of death and hell. He goes up to the Father. And what happens? The Father doesn't say good job. The Father says, okay, now at the name of Jesus, the same Jesus, my son who died on the cross would defeated the devil. At the name of Jesus, every niche shall bow and every tongue shall confess. All authority and dominion is given to this because of what Jesus did on the cross. Right? So in essence, the Father's, it's like the, you know, it's just a picture that I'm saying. Right? It's in essence the Father saying, okay, Jesus, you take over.  So we know that it's Trinity. They are three in one. But in the essence of God is saying the Father saying, I'm so pleased that my son has done this. Right? Remember in the water baptism, when Jesus came out, what did the voice say? Behold, my son in whom I'm well pleased. Now imagine after the cross, after defeating the enemy, how pleased the Father will be. The Father said at the name of Jesus, every niche shall bow, every tongue will confess. So right now, Jesus is the highest name than any other name. Right? And that is fulfilled here. Next one. His visage was marred. The word visage means appearance. Right? His appearance was marred. Isaiah 24 and verse 14, just as many were astonished at you. So his visage was marred more than any man and his form more than the sons of man. I mean, if you have seen Passion of the Christ. I'm sure you have seen that, right?  Have you seen that, that portion? Right? Now, okay, those who haven't seen, maybe you can see it, right? It's like every portion in his body is beaten. Every portion. He was punched. His beard was pulled off. He probably had the crown of thorns which went into his skull and that, you know, that would have changed the whole visage on his face. He was slapped. He was hit. He was punched.  Jesus will say, okay, don't worry. It'll heal. No. Those are hard blows. What happens? You'll have a, you'll have one purple eye, right? You'll have swelling. It's not, it's not like, you know, these are sensitive parts. The body, you know, it's okay, swelling it. But the face, right? Probably he would have, his teeth would have broken. We don't know, right? So he was punched. He was beaten. And it says here they were astonished when they saw him.  Let's let him go. He's beaten, bruised. Okay. No, crucify him. And all of them saw him and were astonished at his appearance, right? It says there, his visage was so marred more than a man. History says that these rib bones of Jesus were seen. The back bones, the ribs were all seen. Why? Because there's no blood. There's no muscle left. And the soldier pierced his side. What happened? Water came out. All the blood is gone. What happens if blood goes? This will stick to the bone, right?  That itself you can feel, oh, you can feel that burn. Now when there's no blood in the body, your muscles will stick to the bones, right? And then what will happen? The bones will cut the skin and your bone will be seen. Simple, right?  What happens?  But the good thing about blood is it just keeps, you know, re-growing again. It keeps developing again. But for Jesus, the blood was going and going and going, right? That when they saw Him, they could not even recognize His, that this is Jesus. Probably He was just one lump, just nothing, standing there and all of them saying, crucify Him. How did He even carry that cross up that mountain? They don't know that He was just so beaten and bruised. And they could, you know, history says that, you know, that He died of a cardiac arrest, right? This heart attack, it was on the cross. But all those bones, there's no flesh.  It was all going away. The blood was just going out. That's why the Bible says the blood was shed. Remember the blood covenant we talked about? They have to drain out the blood from the sacrifice, from the, from the lamb. All the blood should be drained out. Why? It's a blood covenant. Here, the Lord Jesus, all the blood was drained out.  No, the price was paid. The price, the entire wrath of sin and death was put on Him. So the price was paid. It's not like Jesus just paid some price. No, the entire guilt and sin and everything was put on Him. And just thinking of all this, the cross looks like, you know, it's so much more than just wearing it or putting a tattoo, right? And when the Bible says He paid the price, He literally paid the price. You know, some theologians say that He couldn't see because of the blows. His eyes would have swollen up, right? And so what happens when your eyes swell up? You know, it just becomes so big that you can't open your eyes, right? There's no strength. But in all of that, He took it. He took it, right? His visage was marred that even if we were there, maybe the disciples have seen Him. Is this Jesus? Hey man, we've seen Jesus as a young man, you know, 30 years, 31 years old. We've been walking together. I don't think this is Jesus. That would have been the reaction of the disciples. This is the visage was marred. Some other theologians say that flesh was just falling off His body. The price was paid. Entire price. The complete price was paid. Next one. He shall sprinkle many nations. Isaiah 52 and verse 15. So He shall sprinkle many nations. Kings shall shut their mouths at Him. For what had not been told them, they shall see. And what they have not heard, they shall consider. Now the word sprinkle has to do with the sprinkling of blood on the altar. We talked about the blood covenant. And it expresses this throwing of the blood on the altar is that, in the Old Testament, when the high priest would take the blood of the lamb, he will pour it. So for example, this is the altar. He would just pour it on the altar for the atonement of sins, right? Like sprinkling blood, right? And that is what Jesus did. He sprinkled. He shed His blood so that we can find forgiveness. Kings, leaders, rulers, heads of nations will stand in amazement at Jesus Christ. They will see here and understand things they have never known on His influence over many nations. Kings, leaders, rulers, heads of nations will stand in amazement in front of Jesus. Now it could be now or it could be at the judgment seat, right? But they will stand in amazement.  And it says in the book of Revelation, it says, hide me from the one who seated on the throne and from the wrath of the lamb. Imagine people who are saying, hey, I don't believe in Jesus. And now all of a sudden they're seeing this man in glory seated on a throne. And say, hide me from who's this? This is Jesus. I don't know this is Jesus. Kings, leaders and rulers will stand in amazement of Jesus. And it's going to happen. Even you and me now, you know, we stand in amazement of what He has done for us, right? No matter how great we become, it's still the cross is such a beautiful place. It's an offensive place, but it's also a place of victory. So now when we look at Jesus, we're amazed with what He is and who He is, what He has done for us. So then again, that's a fulfillment of the prophecy, right? So we'll take a break, we'll come back and we'll continue from where we stopped, right?

Also in Bookmap Discord there's an Options-Doug Chat channel that's a great place to post questions, comments and content related to the topics of my presentation and the topics of the channel which I'll go through in just a moment. And note that Bookmap Discord is free and available to everyone whether you have a Bookmap subscription or not. There's a lot of great content there. Alright, I'm also on X, formerly known as Twitter. My name there is at Doug Pless. The focus of my presentation today and the focus of the Options-Jug Chat channel is options order flow, the impact of options markets on stocks and futures and the influence of market maker hedging flow on price action. Have a two-step process for trading and the first is planning and I use positional analysis. I look at how traders and market makers are positioned to the options market and how those positions change from day to day to develop a thesis regarding the expected trading range and volatility for the day as well as a directional bias. And the second step in my process is execution. I look at real-time motor flow and Bookmap and real-time market maker hedging flow and spot gamma hero to confirm my thesis and for setups for entries and exits. And when I talk about setups today, I will be talking about setups in an underlying asset and those setups can be taken any number of ways. For example, the SB500 setups can be taken with ES futures, SPY shares, SPY options, SPX options, or even ES options. Questions and comments are welcome and I will be watching both the chat and the Options-Jug Chat channel and Discord and also the chat and YouTube for your questions and comments. Please feel free to post and I will do my best to answer your questions. And hello, Floyd's Garage. Welcome. Glad you're here. Also, hello, Don. Welcome. Good afternoon to you. Well, glad you're here. All right. My agenda for today, Friday, November 17th. First of all, I want to go over news items, economic data, and events for today. Then I'll go through my positional analysis. Then I'll review some setups earlier today and then I'll take a look at the live market. And all right, so let's get started with news.  Let's take a look at that. What this chart is showing is the Delta Notional. It's the expiration concentration chart for the SB500, NASDAQ, and Russell 2000. All combined into one chart. This is showing Delta Notional on the vertical axis and the different expirations on the horizontal axis. This is the November monthly expiration. And this is the December expiration. You can see it's much larger. That's pretty typical of the quarterly monthly options expirations. All right, let's take a look at November. So what this is showing is call Delta with the orange bars and blue Delta with the blue bars. It's very obvious that this is a very call dominated options expiration. These calls have been stabilizing the market in a positive gamma environment. And the expectation is, as those calls expire, that some of that stabilizing force of that positive gamma will be gone. And that could lead to greater volatility. And typically, there's a little bit of a move down after a call dominated options expiration. Excuse me. So looking for some weakness or consolidation next week. And that may or may not happen. It depends on traders. This is a very bullish time of year. So we'll just see how that plays out on Monday. All right, so again, call dominated, very call dominated positive gamma options expiration. The typical expectation is for a little bit of a consolidation or slight move lower after expiration. All right, let's start with the positional analysis now. I'm going to go to the S&B 500. This is the S futures and book map. Before I take a closer look at this chart, I want to take a look at a larger time frame. I'm going to go to the SPX. This is a 30 day one hour chart. We point out the key turning points on this chart. I'll start with this Monday, October 30th. This was what happened over the weekend. Traders were buying a lot of puts, concerned about weekend risk. And on Monday, price started moving higher, implied volatility drops. This puts loss value. Market makers could buy back short hedges, and that led to a huge put banner rally. So at this point on October 30th, the market was very put dominated, negative gamma and gradually shifted towards a positive gamma environment. Then this is Friday, November 10th, magnificent seven rally. And also fueled by the CPI report on Tuesday that was much better than expected. And now it looks like price of the SPX is consolidating for the last three days, typical of a positive gamma call dominated options expiration. And again, that may loosen up a little bit next week. Being implied, volatility may increase next week. All right, so those are the key turning points. Let me point out the levels on this chart. First of all, the dash purple lines are showing the lower and upper weekly expected move. And these are updated once a week, SPX trading well above the upper weekly expected move. The dash blue lines are showing the lower and upper daily expected move.  That was plus or minus 26 points today. Both of these are based on the options market. Weekly expected move is updated once a week over the weekend. And then I update the daily expected move every day. All right, the dash red lines are showing these spot gamma levels. These are proprietary spot gamma levels available to spot gamma subscribers in a variety of platforms. This is thinkorswim. Let me point out the key daily levels. First of all, here's the put wall that's at 4,200. That's a strike with the largest net negative gamma that can be expected to act as support, not in play for today. And the next level up is the volatility trigger at 4,415. That is spot gamma's proprietary volatility flip level. Below that level, market makers position on the gamma curve is negative. In a negative gamma environment, market makers have to trade with price to hedge their dealt exposure. And that tends to enhance or increase volatility. On the other hand, like SPX is trading now above that level, market makers position on the gamma curve is positive. In a positive gamma environment, market makers have to trade against price to hedge their dealt exposure. And that tends to subdue or decrease volatility. All right, the next level up is 4,500. That's the absolute gamma strike. That's a strike with the largest absolute positive and negative gamma. That's where most of the gamma weighted open interest is concentrated. That level did act as support earlier today. And then finally, the last key value level is the call wall. And that's up above at 4,550. And that's a strike with the largest net positive gamma that can be expected to act as resistance. And note that level did move up from yesterday. It moved up from 4,500 to 4,550. So that's bullish. That call wall, that potential ceiling for price, has been moving higher now at 4,550. All right, there was one other shift in levels for the SPX. The volatility trigger did move down five points, really not significant. So the most significant shift higher for SPX was the call wall moving higher. All right, I know this is current price is obscured with all this information here. So let's take a look at a one day chart, or actually three days worth of data here in a one minute chart so we can see the levels that are played for today. Actually, let me zoom in on this just a little bit. All right, so that's three days worth of data, the dark areas. So here's that 4,500 level, SPX 4,500 absolute gamma strike, acting as support. And for a long time today, we'll see in just a moment, in book map that price was pinning to the spy 4,50 level, now moving higher. All right, the next level up is this combo L3 level at 4,522. All right, let's go to book map now. So in book map, I have my own cloud notes. So I can show SPX levels and spy levels, any other levels I want, all on one chart. So this is that 4,500 level, SPX 4,500 absolute gamma strike, acting as support. That was noted as a support level in the Spot Gamma AM Founder's note. Did its job almost to the tick, actually to the tick. This is the SPX shown in an ES chart. And there is a price difference between ES and SPX. It's somewhere between 13 and 14, so I'd use 13 today. That may be a little bit low, so that white line that 4,500 level should be up a little bit higher, so that 4,500 level did act as support. And then this is the spy 4,50 absolute gamma strike. And note how price was concentrated, oscillating up and down around that level for quite a bit today until it finally broke out around noon, broke above that level. You can still see that this is the area with the highest amount of volume, that's the session volume profile, showing volume since the beginning of the session, and my session begins at the open yesterday, so at 6 p.m. eastern time. And note point of control shown by this purple line is right below that level. And I did post a couple of charts in book map earlier today, one for the ES and one for NQ. We'll take a look at NQ in a minute. All right, so those are the levels of play for today, both SPX and spy levels. Also note the quick drop started right before the cash open, and then the 450 level caught that. Now it looks like the spy 4,51 level may be acting as resistance. You can see the liquidity in the order book here earlier. It looks like traders did consume that. Maybe some of it was pulled. Those are resting limit orders above price limit orders to sell. All right, let's take a look at NASDAQ now. And by the way, one other thing just to point out that if there was going to be a drop from 450, it looked like that may happen around, it might have happened around 11, but this 4,500 level was there to catch it. So for price to move lower, it would have to move lower than the 450 level and the 4,500 level. All right, let's go to NASDAQ now. This is the NQ futures in book map. Very similar chart to the ES. Before I take a closer look at this chart, I just want to take a look at an NQ chart first so we can isolate the QQQ levels and play. So 385 is the absolute gamma strike for QQQ. Very similar to the SMB500 that was oscillating up and down around the spy 450 absolute gamma strike this morning. The NASDAQ was oscillating up and down around the QQQ 385 absolute gamma strike. Price broke higher, found resistance at 386, then support just above this combo level. All right, let's take a look at NDX now. In NDX, this three days worth of data, there's a combo level just right around the QQQ 385 level. Then here's that combo level up above. Combo levels combine, in this case, QQQ and NDX, gamma weighted open interest into one level that's converted to an equivalent NDX price. Let's go back to NQ. So I have my own cloud notes in NQ as well, so I can show NDX levels, QQQ levels. There's the 385 level, scrunch this just a little bit. So what was happening this morning, let me zoom in on this. This was making for a pretty interesting range bound trade. Here's the upper weekly expected move, acting as support. And then VWAP, acting as resistance with a slight bearish tilt, making a series of slightly lower highs, slightly lower lows, but multiple trading opportunities from the upper weekly expected move to VWAP to back down, up and down. So if that's the kind of trade you like, that was a pretty interesting setup that multiple up and down range trade between, again, VWAP and the upper weekly expected move. All right, so those are the levels of play for NASDAQ. All right, let's take a look at Gamma Notional now to see how market makers were positioned on the Gamma curve at the beginning of the day. This is Gamma Notional. This is what I'm looking at for the SB500, NASDAQ and Russell 2000. First of all, for the SB500, both these numbers are positive for SBX and SPI. This indicates for an index that traders are short calls, market makers are long calls, and in a positive Gamma environment, when they're long calls, they have to trade against price to hedge their delta exposure, and that tends to subdue or decrease volatility, leads to more range bound trade and pinning. All right, for the NASDAQ, both the NDX, QQQ, NDX is really not significant. NDX and QQQ, both positive but less positive than yesterday. And then finally, the Russell 2000 shifted back to negative from positive yesterday to negative today, so slightly negative Gamma for the Russell 2000. All right, let's take a look at the Vana model now to get graphical representation of what this means. So I'm going to go through the Vana models, and then we'll take a look at the absolute Gamma charts for today. So first of all, the Vana model, what this chart is showing is market makers Delta Notional. Their delta exposure on the vertical axis, spot price for SPX on the horizontal axis, there are two curves on this chart. The first light gray curve shows how market makers Delta Notional changes with changes in price only. The purple curve adds implied volatility to the equation, showing how market makers Delta Notional changes with changes in price and implied volatility. And that's the curve that we want to take a look at. All right, so let's check on price for now, right now. SPX trading right around 45.14, so that's right around here, right at the bottom of the curve between these two lines. So at this point, there's really no Vana headwind or tailwind as price moves in a narrow range. If price continues higher, market makers Delta Notional will start to increase, and they will have to sell futures to hedge their delta exposure. That's typical on a positive Gamma environment. Market makers trading against price to hedge their delta exposure. And if price falls, they can buy back their short hedges, or they can sell their long hedges. All right, so they're trading against price either way in this positive Gamma environment. I'm sorry, I said it right first time. So as price moves up, they have to sell futures. They're trading against price. Price drops. They can buy back their short futures. All right, so that is SPX. We'll take a quick look at SPI. SPI trading right around 451. Also near the bottom of the curve, if price continues to increase, market makers will have to sell futures to hedge their delta exposure. Price drops, they can buy them back. And note this curve with the skew, kind of the V-shaped curve is very typical of a positive Gamma environment. Take a look at QQQ. Trading right around 386. Also near the bottom of the curve. All right, let's go back to SPX. What I want to point out is this absolute Gamma. What this chart is showing is Gamma on the vertical axis. Strike price on the horizontal axis. This is the 4500 strike. And that is very obviously the strike with the largest absolute positive and negative Gamma. Call Gamma, show them with the orange line above the zero line. Put Gamma, show them below the zero line with the blue bar. As price moves up above that level in a positive VM environment, market makers will need to sell futures. Price moves below that level. Market makers will need to buy futures. That can lead to a pinning effect around these levels. So that's why the 4500 level is so important. That may change next week as some of this Gamma expires. And traders position themselves for the next expiration, position themselves for the end of the year. Let's take a look at SPI. SPI, there's the 450 level. Again, obviously the level with the highest amount of put and call Gamma. Note here, there's more call Gamma than put Gamma. Let's take a look at QQQ and there's the 385 level. So those are levels that I was talking about in my post and discord this morning. All right, let's take a look at some setups now. So first of all, my thesis for the day was looking for lower volatility range day. All right, so let's take a look at some setups for today. I'm going to start with the SMB 500. This is the hero signal. I want to see what options traders have been doing today. So everything that I've looked at so far today, other than the bookmap charts, has been static data. This is based on open interest that's updated once a day, sometime during the night.  So again, that is all static data. It is updated once a day. It's available to subscribers sometime in the morning or early in the morning. I use it in my preparation before the market opens. All right, so this is the, let me back out. This is the hero signal for the SMB 500. What this chart is showing is price for SPX with a white line and the hero signal hedging impact real time options. What that shows is options trades and market maker hedging activity for a combined signal of SPX by XSP and ES futures. And a rising line indicates traders are taking positive delta positions. A falling line indicates traders are taking negative delta positions. So the direction of line is in terms of delta. All right, let's zoom in on this chart now. So really in the morning, there was no not much clarity with that pinning around 450, the test of SPX 4500. And then right around 1145, traders started taking positive delta positions and price responded higher. Maybe that was after the European close. All right, let's see what they were doing. So when you separate outputs and calls, calls shown by the orange line, puts shown by the blue line. Falling blue line indicates they're buying puts. That activity stopped about 1145. They were also selling calls. That activity also stopped, so they started buying calls. So right around 1145, they stopped buying puts, started buying calls, and price responded higher. So when traders buy calls, market makers sell the calls, and they have to buy futures to hedge their delta exposure. Let's go take a look at book, ma'am. Go back to ES. So we know around 1145, traders started taking positive delta positions. And before that, price for ES was making a series of higher lows. And then right around noon, broke out of this wedge pattern. The volume dots are showing market buy minus sell. Magenta dots indicate more sellers than buyers. That's a delta. And then the green volume dots indicate more buyers than sellers. So price broke out right around noon as traders started buying calls, stopped buying puts, and did a retest, not quite to the 450 level secondary entry point. And now the S&B 500 continues to move higher. Looks like it's broken above the SPY 451 level and maybe heading to a couple of combo levels up above. Not much liquidity at those levels. There's a little bit at 4522. Let's go back to HERO. So HERO continues to trend higher. Traders continue to take positive delta positions. And again, they're buying calls. So call buyers more aggressive than the put buyers afternoon in this afternoon. So that's the S&B 500. Really not much to do. I just sat on my hands, looked at other things during the morning session. Let's take a look at NASDAQ. Interesting HERO chart here. So this chart is showing a combined signal for NDX QQQ. QQQ typically makes up most of that notional value. So the HERO signal was pretty much flat line to about 1145. Started to tick up. Looks like price started moving higher before that. Let's separate outputs and calls. So right around 1205, they started buying calls. There's another signal that's very relevant for the S&B 500. This is the Magnificent 7, usually a better indicator actually. And it certainly has been today. So what this chart is showing is a combined signal for these stocks known as the Magnificent 7, Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Tesla. Let's zoom in on this chart. So there's a very, very strong correlation between options trades, market-maker hedging activity, and price action for these seven stocks. HERO starts ticking higher just after 11, 1105, something like that. That's about when the NASDAQ started moving. We'll go back and check that. So pretty much sits around, well, really almost from the open 940, traders have been selling puts. Very interesting, that's shown by the rising blue line. Then when price really started to move higher around 1105, that's when traders started buying calls. SpotGamma has noted that this signal where both lines, the put-in call line, are moving in the same direction, is a very powerful directional indicator. Really hard for whatever instrument you're looking at to fight this when traders are buying calls and selling puts. That's a very good signal that price is going to move higher. So really it often helps to separate out puts and calls to see the total signal. And also take a look at this Magnificent 7, whether you're trading, especially if you're trading NASDAQ, but also for the S&P 500. All right, so those are the setups for the S&P 500 and NASDAQ, all confirmed with options trades. All right, let's take a look at NASDAQ in Bookmap. So we know that Magnificent 7 stocks, heroes started moving higher right around 1105. And that's about when NASDAQ started to move higher. We'll go back and take a look at Bookmap in just a moment, even though the hero signal for the NASDAQ didn't start taking higher until about 30 minutes later. All right, let's go to Bookmap, go to NASDAQ. All right, here's when, let's actually zoom in on this a little bit, 1105. This is when traders started taking positive delta positions in the Magnificent 7. That's the final test of the upper weekly expected move. You can see the shift in order flow, but gentile volume dots on the way down. Aggressive buyers start to come in. Some final chop around the 385 level. Price moves higher, finds resistance at 386. Comes back down for a nice pullback entry final test. Somewhere between VWAP and 385. Now continues to move higher. 386 was resistance, now support. And moving up to the 387 level. All right, that's the S&P 500 and NASDAQ took quite a while for price to move out of that consolidation for both. So if you were patient, finally good long entries especially NASDAQ, but S&P 500 also. All right, let's take a look at some stocks. And I posted this this morning. I'm going to go to Equity Hub for and show my watch list. And what I was looking at is this next X-Bread Gamma percent and the date. So what this is showing, this is the amount of gamma that's expiring. And this is the date today. And that's typical of a monthly expiration. A lot of stocks will have the largest amount of gamma expiring on the Friday of monthly options expiration. I'm going to go to, I'm just going to take a look at one of these, actually we'll take a look at a couple of these charts. So earlier NVIDIA was it, let me still not ranking it correctly are there. So NVIDIA at the top of this chart, this is the composite view showing an area of call domination with green, an area of put domination with red. These lighter shades indicate smaller position size. But note the call domination above the call wall. Let's just check on that level. At the 630 strike, let's just take a look at one other stock. Take a look at AMD. So the darker colors indicate a larger position size and form AMD call domination above the 120 call wall key gamma strike. And I like to focus on any stock with greater or close to greater than 30% of gamma expiring. That's what SpotGamma's talked about. All right, so we're going to go through these stocks pretty quickly. Let's start with, let's go to hero. We'll go to NVIDIA first. We'll just go in the order of the list. So what I'm looking for in this case is a call gamma unwind. What that means is traders have been buying calls. Hence those areas of call domination. Traders, traders buy calls, market makers sell the calls. They have to buy stock to hedge their delta exposure. As expiration approaches, those calls start to lose value. They lose delta due to charm. That's the change in delta as expiration approaches with the change in time. And market makers can sell their long stock edges if traders are not continuing to buy calls today. And that could be the case. So we'll just go through these stocks. When I took a look earlier today, there were about four out of eight that were showing a decent call gamma unwind. So 50% level, 50% hit level. So let's take a look now for stock on the list, NVIDIA. And earlier today, there was a little bit of a move down. And now NVIDIA is recovering right around the same time as we saw on the NASDAQ. So let's go to BookMap. And we'll just go through these stocks. And sometimes this can happen on Monday. So move lower in the morning. It'll look like there was going to be a call gamma unwind here. And then around 11 to 5, traders started buying calls. And price moved back higher with the Magnificent 7. So that's NVIDIA. The next AMD. Go back to Hero. Take a look at AMD. So price has moved up and down around this 120 level all week. Call walk, key gamma strike. And AMD, no call gamma unwind for you. Separate outputs and calls. So today, traders have been selling puts. Show them the rising blue line. And up until about noon, they were buying calls. This may be more clear with the total signal. Sorry about that. Nothing I did. So bigger move up in the morning. Whoops, wrong tool. Bigger move up in the morning, typical pattern. Options traders take the foot off the gas price. Slows down, consolidates. Let's go to BookMap. Remember, 120 is the call walk, key gamma strike. Mostly aggressive buyers in here. Show them why the green volume dots. No call gamma unwind for you. The next on the list, Netflix. And Floyd Scratch asked, call gamma unwind as for SPX? Could be. That's what I talked about earlier today. And a call dominated expiration. Those calls that have been stabilizing the market can expire, and that leads to some decreased stability, more volatility, and potential for consolidation or a move lower after a call dominated expiration. All right, so Netflix, opening print at around $467. Probably still trading below that level. Let's go take a look at Hero for Netflix. Not really much of a call gamma unwind. Next Meta. All right, traders continue to buy calls. That started to accelerate on the last 30 minutes or so. Traders aggressively buying calls into the close. They've also been selling puts. Show them by the slight positive notion of value of the blue line. Here's Meta. So another bullish day in Meta. No call gamma unwind. Next, Tesla. Bullish day in Tesla. See what options traders are doing. So selling puts and buying calls. Looks like put sellers are having a stronger influence on price. Sorry about that. Next, Microsoft. A little bit of a call gamma unwind early in the morning, but Microsoft reversed higher with the other Mag7 stocks. Go to BookMap, Microsoft. So initial call gamma unwind earlier today. Oops, price recovers $1105. Now continues to move higher. Next, Amazon. No call gamma unwind there. Take a look at Hero. So traders are buying calls. Show them by the rising orange line. They're actually buying puts. Call buyers more aggressive, having a stronger influence on price. The last on the list was Google. So initially, a little bit of a move lower in Google. And now traders are taking positive delta positions around the same time as everything else. They started buying calls. They've also been buying puts. Notion value for both pretty small. Let's go take a look at BookMap. And for Google, the amount of gamma expiring was just a little bit less than 30%. I think there might have been some news about Google. All right, so really, not much of a call gamma unwind today in this very bullish environment. That may happen on Monday. We'll see. We'll talk about it on Monday. All right, does anyone have any stocks they want me to take a look at? I'll be glad to take a look at anything you want me to. Otherwise, we'll go back and take a look at the S&P 500 first, the NASDAQ. Very nice uptrend to this trend line. We'll see what options traders are doing now on the S&P 500. So far, they continue to take positive delta positions. Looks like that may be leveling off a little bit. Separate outputs and calls. All right, so they continue to buy calls. Let's take a look at one other thing. We can take a look at this next expiry. So these are options that expire today. So earlier today, that was making up a larger portion of the total notion of value. And then that really separated about 1230. Wrong tool. Separated about 1230, where traders started taking positions buying calls and longer dated expirations. So the green line is showing the zero GTE for SPX, SPY, ESS, XSP. All those instruments have options that expire every day. So this is showing, again, for the S&P 500, options that expire today. And the green line, the purple line, is showing options that expire further out in time, longer term positions. So that notion of value for the purple line, that all expirations, is much higher than the notion of value for the zero GTE traders trades. Let's go back to book map. All right, let's check NASDAQ. Another nice, steady uptrend. Let's see what options traders are doing. We'll do a quick check of NASDAQ. Then we'll go to the Magnificent 7. NASDAQ, heroes leveling off, options traders taking their foot off the gas. Same for the Mag7. So it looks like resistance at this 387 level. Let's separate that a little bit. So there's a combo level just above that, that NDX. That's in terms of NDX price. So a combo level just above the QQQ 387 level. All right, just a quick note about next week. I believe the FOMC minutes, I'll talk more about the week on Monday, the upcoming week. But just a quick reminder now, I believe FOMC minutes do come out. I believe that's typically on a Wednesday, three weeks after the FOMC meeting and announcement. And then in the United States, Thanksgiving holiday is next week. That's Thursday and Friday. Thursday, everything is closed. And then I think there is a half day market day on Thursday. I will not be streaming on Thursday or Friday. So I will be traveling both those days. I will be in chat on Friday, probably Friday afternoon sometime. I'll be available in chat, but not streaming. So no streaming next week on Thursday and Friday. I will be here on Monday through Wednesday. Back to the SP, having a very slow day. So question is now, will this uptrend trend line continue? It looks like 451 would need to act as support for that to happen. Let's take one last look at HERO, see what options traders are doing. All right, so for the moment, HERO has shifted lower. Separating outputs and calls, we can see that now it looks like traders have stopped buying calls, maybe started selling calls, started buying puts again. Take one last look at book map. All right, that's it. Again, the question remains, will 451 act as support? Will price continue higher?  I want to thank everyone for watching. Have a great weekend, and I will see you on Monday. Thanks again, bye. And thank you, Take Profit. Have a good holiday to yourself.
