Hey everybody welcome back to the channel. Today we're just going to do something a little fun. As I mentioned in one of my other videos my i3 theme is kind of all over the place. So I thought I would go through and do some ricing today just on video for my video of the day. And as with all ricing that I do, I'm going to try to blatantly steal someone else's rice, which is this one here now. This is actually a Mac setup. So mine won't look exactly like this obviously. But I'm going to do a little bit of at least these colors. This is Nord. I'm pretty sure this is just straight up Nord. It's even got the wallpaper. So that's what that's what we're going to be aiming for today. I don't know if we're going to get it all done on video. We'll see. So the first thing I decided to do was look up the Nord color scheme, which is just available at norbthame.com. I'll put that link in the show notes if anybody else is interested, but it's easy to get to. You just got to google it. And there's actually quite a few different palettes here that we're going to use. But why don't we just go ahead and get started. Now the first and easiest one is probably to decide the outline of the windows, which we'll need to do in my i3 config, which is going to be down here somewhere. I think it's going to be this one here. So then we need to find out what the code is that I'm going to need, what color I want to use. So I think I'm going to go down to one of the brighter ones, like this here. Okay. Forget that change word doesn't do the whole thing. So we just go to girl V. Oops. What did it do? And again, all right. And we'll save that and see what it looks like. Oh, that's cool. Kind of cool. I wonder why it's purple along that side. It has to be something to do with them. But it doesn't look like that on Firefox. No, it does have purple there. It's interesting. Let's go look and see what that's all about. That's going to be indicator, right? So change word and oops. And I did again. The pound, the pound is real. I do know how to use them. Really, apparently, I don't know. I guess the wrong thing in the thing in the, all right, this is the one I need. I still didn't do it right. Damn it. This is dumb.  Screw them. This is the one I need. There we go. Fuck's sake. That really wasn't that hard. All right, there we go. Now we got it all the way around. Good. Okay. And then we need to do, I think that's it for i3 config. I don't have any other colors here that I come from the i3 config folder. So that just means we're going into Polybar, which is going to be the fun part. So what do I want Polybar to look like? Well, right now I just have the active workspace in the main color I was using, which was Papa West yellow. I guess is what I was using before. Let's try to do some Papa West steaming or whatever for a while, but kind of interrupted in the middle. I think we'll go ahead. Do I want that color too? Well, first let's go ahead and do the background. Here's the colors. And this is the colors that I'm using. So you want the background. So let's look at the back actual main color of Nord, which is, is it this color here? Or I guess it could supposed to be any of those colors. I think I want to go a little bit brighter. All right, so go back here and see if I can make a full myself with them again. And then control V. And why is change word copying it to the clipboard? That doesn't make any sense. That's not what change word should do. All right. Why are you doing this to me, Vim? That's dumb. All right.  You know, the manual way. That's not what is in the keyboard either. All right. All right. This is done. There we go. And why is the foreground color that that's really weird? That's the way I should be.  Yeah, I guess what we want.  That's really where you should the padding shouldn't change when you change the color. But whatever. We're on an adventure today. That's what what matters. That padding is going to be the here. This is done. We're going to go here and see what the I guess padding left and padding right, but that doesn't explain what the path for the padding of the bottom. I don't have a border indicated. That's weird space between here. That's done. And that's it. I wonder why the padding changed. That's really weird. I wonder if it's going to be the line sizes. I don't know what this does, but we're going to find out. That did nothing. Okay. Well, we'll change it back. Okay. Fascinating. Maybe something up here then maybe. And we can change the height to 22. See if that helps. That looks a little bit better. Maybe 20. Oops. Yeah, I suppose.   Oops. I did it again. I really do know how to use them through story. Oh, you want to, I wonder if it's the font. Why would the font size, the font size didn't change with the color. You want to let's make the font size bigger. Whoa. That's way too big. Oh boy. All right. 11 then. Oops. That's still too big for me. I don't like it. I like the size of that font. I just don't understand why the bar went funky. Maybe it was like that before and I just didn't notice it because it was transparent. I figured that out. Anyways, let's go ahead and move on to the next color. So we need to I three module, which here, okay. Yes, I still have 19 workspaces. I haven't changed that. All right. So we want to background. Oops, wrong one. We want to be this here, I think. Yeah, I did that again.  Wait a minute. Hold on a second. We don't want that color. That's dumb. That's the other color. We want this to be So we'll call it we want the background to be Was it this one or was it this one? I can't remember that one. Good. And we want All right. And w Oh, that doesn't show up very good. Does it? You don't show up very good. Do it. What if we made this the background that color and made this one that color?  Then does it? Maybe what's Maybe what's not the best color to look for and we'll find something different. What other colors we got here? Well, we could use one of these. I wonder if these show up better. Now that time I really did use change word so and it did copy to pastor. All right. Maybe if somebody uses them out there, you can explain to me why CW which is supposed to be change word copies what it changes into the clipboard that doesn't make any sense. Now DW would make sense or Yank would make sense, but change word doesn't that. Why does that doesn't make any sense? Really weird. And that doesn't show up any better. That actually looks worse. Interesting. All right. We're going to find a different color. It has some brighter colors on here. We did this one for the outline. We could turn this one wouldn't show up very good, would it? I don't think so. As you could tell, I'm not a designer. I just it's trial and error people until I might as well just delete word and and then see delete word. Actually, yeah, that's really weird. Like I'd expect that to go into the the while that looks even worse. I keep going. I'm going the wrong direction. Oh, here we go. Here's some. I wonder if I bet your purple would show up good. Here we go.  And that didn't show up good either. What colors are you want? Let's see what black shows up like. Yeah, it's gonna show up the best is black. Mine's a little bit boring. Okay. The extra padding on the bottom is really annoying too. All right. Let's go googling. I'm going to keep that open. That's for Vim. All right. Extra padding on bottom of poly bar. Come on, Google. Don't family. I wonder if top padding and bottom padding. I didn't think bottom padding was a was a thing. I think he's just talking about that space in between the window and the thing. He just has gaps. Hmm. I don't see him having anything here different than I have. Live on video. How to remove padding from the bottom of poly bar. You want to let's just go here and search for padding. One of these will make sense. Problem is, these would all be side to side padding. And these are all modules at the bottom.  Hold on a second. Why am I in insert mode? Why was I in insert mode? That was dumb. You know, I copied somebody else's new of them. And I'm really regretting it because things don't work. Why is all right? Well, we're here. You aren't right. I'm I'm too curious. Why does CW chain add text to clipboard them? Yeah, somebody else. But this is for Adam. Oh, you want to, I bet you the whoever's config file I have actually has that in there. I'm gonna have to explore that later. I'll leave that open because that's fascinating. I wonder why they would change that. That's pretty dumb. All right. Let's go through and add some more colors, shall we? We want to, I think we want to want that purple to be the separator. Oh, I bet you it's under arrow. Why am I in insert mode? Why? This is dumb. There's no way this still works. They keep inserting in insert mode for no reason. All right. That's something that's called scroll down here. Yes, I'm using my mouse. I don't care. Nobody cares. Defyder. Here we go. I'm just deleting it, you know, the regular way because I don't want to move it out of the, even deleting it the regular way adds it to the freaking clipboard. That is really weird. Why would you want such a thing? Yeah, that doesn't look very good either. I wonder if I'm going to stay all white. Let's see what this looks like. Just deleting it here actually adds it to the clipboard. That's really weird. That's not bad. It's basically white, but it's okay. I wonder if I'm going to change that background. I don't know. I'm going to keep playing around with it. Let's go back to my inspiration. I want to see what it looks like. The problem with the inspiration was because it was a Mac, then a bar. Come on full screen so I can actually see things and screw you, Jiffy, or whatever you're using. He just uses what looks like white for whatever that is. Is that conky on Mac? That might be conky. Interesting. I've had a lot of luck today, haven't I? This is what racing is like, people. You can go through right things, look right, and things look wrong. I wonder if I use some of these colors on the modules. Let's make this one here the weather. Why not? I'm going to do that and go into the freaking clipboard again. That doesn't look half bad. I'm going to do that for up here too. Yeah, that doesn't look bad. Am I going to have to change a different font? That might actually end up having to do. Maybe yellow for the CPU. I can't remember which CPU I'm using. I'm using CPU 1. We're going to paste first and then delete the rest of this. Chat with a person who's configured. These are the dangers of copying other people's configs, people. You don't know what happens when they have something weird configured. I had a thought. Text in poly bar centered. That's exactly what it is. Oh, here we go right here. I want to change this to two. Look at there. I don't know how that got changed back. Oh, I had that problem before. Eureka, I remember. That looks so much better. Yes, and we can actually make the whole bar a little bit smaller now. I think make this 22 or something. Yeah, it's a little bit better. Yeah, that looks so much so good. Good. Good. I'm not sure about the colors yet, but that's a good start. I think we've been going for way too long though. I think we're going for like 20 minutes already. I don't care. Do a little bit more. Thank you for this. Totally remind me. Nord color scheme. Like examples or something. That's just the color scheme. That doesn't help me at all. I think I actually was hoping for some more examples. See what else other people have. Looking for some inspiration here. I suppose that looks like Nord. The transparency kind of throws it off. Is there anything worse than imager? There's really not. He used the darker one. I wonder if I should use the darker one. I wonder what that would look like. Where did it go? Nord colors. Did I really go out of that? I really did.  Let's use the darker one for the background and see what that looks like. Right here. Background. Yeah, that looks so much better. Yeah. Even with the colors, it looks better. The colors stand out more. I think I'm going to alternate green and blue and skip out the brighter colors. We're down here to the greens and blues. We did a green and then we'll do the bright blue on the next one. The next one was CP1. The different one for the divider. I think I'm going to like that. Add this back to the clipboard because it's going to be way down there now. And then the next one is memory. I think it's actually going to be memory 2. Memory 2 is going to be the right one. Yeah, it looks really good. All right. The next one is TA volume, maybe? Yeah. I remember things. I think I have clipboard manager, history managers. Damn it. Did it wrong. Yeah. Oh, then I did the wrong color. Damn. This one should be the blue one. I'm still missing this up. Okay. So it should be this one. No, it should be the other one. I'm more confused than I have ever been. These are alternating colors, man. It shouldn't be that hard.  So what did I use for that weather? A3BEC. A3BEC. And then I used AFBCBB for memory. So this one here should be what I should use. Where's the A3B? A3B. Okay. It should be, where did I get that color from? Down here. I always said I wasn't going to use those colors. Okay. So I'm going to change weather to this.  Okay. Did it again. Damn it. All the way down here. Whoever set that up is going to, I'm getting a new config. I've been trying to write my own, but it's so much easier just to steal other people's. Okay. So we did the, we're just going to call that BB. And then the CPU one is, is that even one? That's still a wrong one. It should be, what color was I using? I totally forgot. Is that the color I was using? All right. I've had enough.  All right. So what blue color did we use? That's for memory one, memory two then. It's the BB one.  It's this color here. That's pretty much green. We want blue. That's it for this video. I'm done for now. I'll finish this off camera. Anyways, you know what?  I'm going to sleep and keep going.  So memory should be this color here. This one here. Okay. And CPU, that was a CPU one. Okay. Christ. Now there's got to be an easier way to do this. All right. So that was CPU one, which is using the right color. Okay. So then memory. Another thing about this is it enters insert mode at weird with weird key combinations. If I forget to hit the search thing, it just starts typing all of a sudden. This one needs to be the green color, which is this. Is it really that color? Are we sure? Because I'm not changing this again. This is dumb. I guess the color that I want, right? But we're not going to change this again. Okay. So PVU volume, P volume needs to be the blue. Yeah, that's okay. Good. All right. Then date one is this one here. That needs to be green. I think the reason why I'm having such a hard time is those colors are so similar that I keep getting mixed up. So this one needs to be green. Oops. Right. And then the clock needs to be blue. Oops. Date two. And I was there and then I moved. I'll do this the hard way. Oops. And there we go. Poly bar. All right. All right. I was going to try to get to daemon, vim, and termite. But I don't think it's going to happen. So that config termite fig here. And the colors are here. Yeah, that's going to take a little bit longer. I wonder if there's a preset termite nor theme. Someone will have done it. I see. Do you just have the, I don't want to install, I just want to see the, yeah, that's what I want. Don't do what I'm doing, people. Do you know, just copy and paste in people's text off from the internet. Bad form. You're supposed to type it in yourself and be creative. That's never going to be me. Never, ever, ever. All right. Oh, right. I forgot that. That was being done. Yeah, there we go. There's nor theme. Let's click H top. Looks like there we go. Cool. That is cool. Good. I'll be left not then is to figure out how to do neovim. And that's going to happen after I figure out what the hell's going on with a copy and pasting. It's so dumb. Anyways, thank you for watching. If you, for whatever reason, liked this nonsense, give it a like, give it a subscribe. If you didn't just ignore all this. I mean, there's no chance that there's anybody still watching this anyway. So, ciao for now. See you tomorrow.


I want to show an example of a bunch of what it looks like when people how are normally communicating with each other without utilizing as seen as an approach to get there. I'd be a lot freer if people like you were put in prison as retaliation for the collective crime of racism, anti-Semitism, misogyny and homophobia. God blesses me. You're judgmental. How do you deal with shame in your life? I perpetrate this every day by telling people what their rights are and what they aren't. How do people like you start to ruin this world? You're judgmental. Christians are responsible for slavery. Do you know why you're getting upset about it? I'm getting upset because you are stepping on the right. There are thousands of Americans. No, this is a freedom to me. You're judgmental. You are lost in a fantasy. Yes. Preach the word. Preach what? I'm... Sir, you can't spit on me, sir. Well, I know this. I could look at that sun. I could look at the sky. I could see the trees. And I know there is life. So if there is life, there has to be a creator of life. No. Who doesn't? It's a hassle. All you have to do is provide evidence. Can you provide evidence? I'm a volunteer. Okay. I'm a volunteer. I'm a volunteer. I'm a volunteer. I'm a volunteer. I'm a volunteer. Who course got it? Listen, listen. That's the key point. Listen, well, I know what he's saying. I can set you up every time. But of course you know what I'm saying. But your arrogance is a Christian. You know that he ordered you. You don't have to believe it if you don't know it. If you don't know it, then think about it.  Again, how do you deal with it? You breaking the law of God. How do you deal with that? How do you deal with this delusion of yours? There's some invisible man in the sky sitting on a cloud. Well, it's not just that. So you don't believe that Jesus walked the earth? No! The Christians are responsible for slavery! Absolutely. Yes, that's exactly what I mean. You mock your religion into extinction. That's exactly what you think. It's already happening. It's already happening. It's not a fairy tale. It's a fairy tale. I'm a born-again Christian. Oh, born-again. Baptized in Jesus name. Who do you? Fill with the Holy Ghost. Jesus too. It's God who works in me. It's a false law in me. It's not true. It is not true. It is not true. Then your parents teach you magic. Is he right next to you or are you holding his hand? Yes, I am. Oh, you need some medication, my friend. Hitler. Who designed God? You're caught in a trap now. It's a logical trap where you would listen.  I use reason and logic. The Bible is no more proof that God exists. Then a comic book is no more proof that Superman exists.  You need Jesus.  Thank you very much. You're welcome. You judge mental. It's not going to be a two-way conversation. There's no point. Bye! Bye! What is interesting here, actually, is that we've got people from different fights and who all believe in some kind of heaven in a different sense. But every single one of them believes in this heaven on the basis of faith. Faith, by definition, is believing in things without evidence.  Whoa! Ouch! I'm so glad you guys laughed at that. It was a lot of moments where I noticed, like, oh man, that was just me. I don't know. Three years ago, you're caught in a trap. You didn't realize that, did you? I got you. I used reason and logic, and now your trap never works. So, right? How's the audio in the back? Can you guys hear pretty well? Yeah? For real? Okay, great. Okay, cool. So, those were examples of what conversations look like when you normally don't use SE. Hold up. All right. Those are conversations where, when you don't use SE, they tend to, like, evolve into, like, really accusational terms. People not really being open-minded about changing their mind. I want to show you an example of what actually looks like what SE is employed. Yeah, so, yeah, I just have this hobby where I chat with people about anything. Is there a particular belief you want to chat about? Is there what? A particular belief that you want to chat about. Something you really think is true. Christianity. Yeah. All right, anyway, yeah. Ty's my name. I've got a five-minute timer. Okay. I don't know if any two people can talk about anything. Is there anything that strongly motivates you? What do you think is true? God? Yeah. That's a heavy topic. You want to talk about that for five minutes? Sure. Yeah? Yeah, I can talk about. I mean, I was, my background is Christianity. I was raised Southern Baptist. I believe in gods. That would be the thing I'm the most certain about. Okay. First, got to get a sense of your confidence that a god exists. Okay. Say on a scale from one to ten. Ah, ten. Ten for sure. Ten. Yeah. 100% certain that higher power exists. Okay. Um, 95. 95. Mm-hmm. All right. Very confident. From like zero to 100%. 100%. 100%. You don't need any more evidence. You're absolutely closed on the position. You think that's absolutely true? Yep. Okay. 100%. What got you to that 100%? Oh, really? Well, uh... So, I go to a Christian school and I've learned. I've taken a bunch of classes on, um, theories and all these different things. And it just makes sense to me. It kind of like hits home. I, and for me, it's just a meditation thing. Okay. That I realize that it's just, it's just a full-on total goodness of the earth. Mm-hmm. All the plants. Um, I believe that there is something that has been working on my behalf in this universe. Whatever is here had to come from somewhere. Okay. Uh, right here. From somewhere without some sort of first cause. Okay. Yeah. I know it's hard to think that, yeah. Okay. Okay. Um, how does something making sense to you relate to the actual truth of it? Like, could someone actually be mistaken about a belief that makes sense to them? Yeah, I think they could. Okay. That is a, uh, very good point. I would say... So you, oh, that's a, that's an interesting perspective. So you believe that, wow, I've never ever heard that before. Well, that's an interesting, you know, we've come around to an interesting point that Oh. I never verbalized to myself before, but I do see that, you know, I'm starting to see just from this discussion. And the benefits I get from it? Right, right, right. Yeah. That's good. Yeah. That's a good perspective. I would like to, I would like to believe it if it's true. Right. But, but, because nobody can question it, nobody can prove it. You can't prove faith. You can't prove any of these things. It's like, why am I believing this? Hmm. You may be onto something, man. Yeah, so... That's powerful stuff, man. Thanks. Yeah, it's just stuff to think about, man. Yeah. Absolutely. Thank you for that. That's really enlightening. I never thought about it like that. That's true. Right. That's a good way to look at it. I like to think about it that way. And that, anything that puts you in a more reasonable position. I try and I try. Hmm. Well, thanks. Yeah? All right. Have a good evening. It was good chatting with you. Good chatting with you as well. All right. Have a good evening. Have a good one. Isn't there a huge difference there? You guys see it? No one left angry. No one left angry. And people were open-minded. People were willing to change their perspective a little bit. Let's talk about how that works.


All right, so my name is Ángel de Azmaroto. So first mission for you to pronounce my name, just kidding. I'm from Spain, and I'm an agile coach part of Agilar, one of the leading agile consumer firms in Latin America and Europe. And we work trying to help companies with this agile thing in their environment, right? And hopefully to improve their Monday, right? That's what we try to do. I'm also one of the CEC from the Sky Alliance, which has a quite enterprise goal, which is something that's really tough. And managing people in overseas trainers. Maybe you try that, I hope. You sign up for my training on Monday and Tuesday. If not, you're still in time. You're going to have a lot of fun. And this is about customer centricity and how does it work to be there with agile? So that is something that I always ask to every team that is start working with me. Doing scrum or doing agile or whatever they do, I ask them why. So you want to do scrum? Why? What do you want to do scrum? And what do you think is their most common answer to this? Why? Exactly, because everybody else is doing this. Faster, cheaper, stronger. There's like a Nike advertisement, right? I'll get the things done fast if I do scrum. Yeah, yeah. So performance, do you matter something? What up? It's supposed to have a great point. It's supposed to be customer focused, but I've been doing this job for a long time. And that never was the answer from any team. So nobody cared about the actual customer. Some of them, they might mention the product owner, but the product owner is not your customer, right? You'll feel that really quickly. Exactly. The bigger, exactly. Thank you for your comment. So the bigger you get, the less contact you have with the customer. And the less focus you have in your customer, because the culture changes. The culture is more process-focused, productivity-focused. And how about the customer? We don't feel that anymore. So let's try to answer that question. Why? Why do we do agile? What is this important? What are we trying to achieve? That is absolutely not productivity. So we started talking about agile with this message. This is how I usually explain agile. I call it the agile cover. Which I start thinking about how we thought we could ensure the success of a project. For many years we thought that with a good plan, with documents, with professional tools, and with contacts, we could ensure that every project could be a success. And we failed, right? We learned that we need a shift to change something. We forgot about people and interaction. We forgot about collaboration. We forgot about the capability to respond to change. And we forgot about working problems. That's great. From a project management perspective, we evolved. That's awesome. But how about the organization? Like going a little bit further from just the team? To me, this is an agile organization. So we're focused on building the right things. But we also want to build things right. So nobody wants things that doesn't work, of course. But nobody wants useless things, too. The problem here, though, is we don't know what is useful and what is not useful. Maybe the customer does. But most of the time, not even the customer knows what they need. So it's the purpose of a business to delight the customer, even if the even the customer doesn't know what he wants. We all are customers, right? Do you know what you want? Maybe you know this episode from the Simpson, in which Homer Simpson gets to build his own car, as he wants. So they found this lost brother of Homer Simpson. He owns a car manufacturing company. And he grants to Homer Simpson the possibility to build his own car, right?   And I can see myself as Homer Simpson, like trying to figure out what is my dream car. But it will work. I need someone to help me understand what am I need and what is the experience that I need the company to get for me. So that's the only way that we have to understand that a customer needs is through feedback. So a business that is going to a dial does it because they need feedback from the final customer. Otherwise, everything else doesn't make any sense. So the purpose of a business is to survive and get better every time. So it's very important to focus and also sustain in the system, sustain in this continuous feedback loop and making it every time faster, every time better. So we all know that, right? Great, awesome. So we are in a perfect starting point. We all know then that this is not about IT. Sorry, we are not that important. It's about a business. Hopefully, business people are getting through the IT advertisement. That's awesome, that's great. Because we need to change everything or otherwise, we could be risking on building things that nobody wants faster and be more productive, right? How about customer centricity? What is customer centricity? Customer centricity is a business approach in which we put the customer on the center of our culture, of the culture, of the business. So we understand the experience that he is going through. We understand how is the experience of being my customer? From before being my customer, during he is my customer and after he is my customer. So when he is not my customer anymore, right? So that's customer centricity. And in order to achieve that, you need to have in mind your customer every time that you produce a piece of software that you have a discussion, or you do a daily meeting, or you do a planning session, right? That's the customer centric culture. If it's not in your culture, it's not in the business. So that's customer centric. And in this session here, we're going to work on that. We're going to work on how to keep in mind your customer from the portfolio management to the line of code. Because I've seen that. I've seen that as the organization grows, it's very easy to lose your focus on the final customer experience. It's also because it's much fun to understand the solution and how are we going to do it that, and how is the technology like? That's much more exciting. Let's understand the actual problem, right? There was a famous guy called Steve Jobs that gave that message many years ago. So we created technology, and then we find a way to sell that to someone. And it doesn't work like that way. So you have to find a need, you have to help. Understand what is the experience that you want to give him, and then find the technology that creates that experience. We all know that message, right? So this issue is about how to make that message a reality in a company, right? In the flesh, in the trenches. Also because you don't know your customer. And often, and we all know this phenomenon of outsourcing, often we understand that the customer is not the people that we have to delight but the people that pace me, right? So if that company hires me for a product, I should delight that company. But that's not true. That company is trying to create an experience for the final customer. So I have to help that company to create that experience for the final customer, for the final customer. But we lose that focus, right? If that guy has a budget, I'm trying to delight that guy that has a budget. And we created, we even created that concept that I personally hate, that is the internal customer. It is no internal customer, because if there is an internal customer, it is a commodity, so I have to delight the business. Maybe the business is right. And they understand the final customer, or maybe the business is not right. How about being part of a team, working together towards the creation of a great experience for my customer? Maybe that's a good point. But for sure, the customer is not the people who pace me. And that's, sometimes that's not pleasant for business, some business people, right? Because it feels really cool to be in charge. It feels really cool to feel that you know what your customer wants, right? It feels really cool to have a bunch of people creating a toy for you. It's like you're Homer Simpson, you have those engineers building your car, and that's pleasant, of course. I know the solution. I know what they want, but sorry. We are creating a delightful experience here for the final customer, so let's work together towards that. Also because the customer is someone that you can't see. Usually you don't have this one person that is your customer.  It's like a God, right? You just can't believe in him. You can't see him. You don't know the customer. You have to get to understand him or figure out what he wants. It's really difficult.  That's kind of scary, right? It's much more pleasant just having this guy, he's the boss, he has the money, so he rules, let's do what he wants, but that's not gonna make a business successful, right? We are much more powerful if we work together than this internal thing called customer, internal customer, sorry, this thing called internal customer. I don't think it wouldn't work at all. And some of you might be thinking this, so I very often use this slide because every time that you hear something new, you feel like this, right? Like we're already on that, we're on the same page. You understand that? Or no, that's impossible. So I work as a consultant or we are an outsourcing company, so it's impossible to do that here. But with this issue, I just want you to reflect. So this is a reflection, right? To reflect on how can they, even if I work for a third party, how can they help that third party delight in the customer? How can they include that culture? How can they include that message in my company? Of course, because we don't know who is our customer and that creates a bunch of new questions around the product development, right? Also, because we are now facing a new kind of customer that is very, very difficult to delight. The society changes very, very fast right now. So three days ago, we all use SMS messages and now, for example, people are more prone to use WhatsApp or Telegram on other apps, right? Four years ago, five years ago, netbooks were very popular and now nobody uses a netbook. And now we're thinking about smartwatches and internet of things like technology and society is evolving every time faster. And that's a great thing for us, though, because even though he is our customer and we have all those new things, so how is he likes and should we create this wow moment or just be wow on the basics? This is great for us because now we can be part of a business, right? We agile people, we know how to expect and adapt, right? We know this experimental way of understanding the product development. We know this cycle of understanding the needs responding to it and listen to your feedback, right? We know also in startup approach and basically Spramon for every agile methodology is that. It's that, it's experiments. So we can help the rest of the organizations. The rest of the organization being involved in our initiatives, in our agile initiatives. So finally, with this customer-centric approach and this experimental approach put it together, we can be meaningful for the business. So very often I got customers or I know other organizations that were complaining about business not willing to be part of the agile transformation because it's not meaningful for them. So I don't care. Usually the business thinks that we are a commodity, so this is the user's story for a business in every product.    If you can be more productive, even better. But this time we can be meaningful for the business. We can help them experiment, right? We could be part of the experiment. So we can change that into something like this. So as a company, when we're all together, our goal is to deliver the lightful experience so being a customer is pretty good, right? Sounds much nicer, right? So that's a great thing. Agile is already experienced on doing that, on experimenting and we can help the business doing that. So let's do a little bit of practice, right? We have one hour, right? So we are now going to do some real stuff. Sounds good? Yay! Okay, let's do it. So then, are you comfortable right now? Yeah. So I need you to stand up. So please, I need you to order yourself in just one line, right?  Not that fast, wait. So I'll position myself, it's a big room. Here, if I make an expert in Agile, right? I'm an expert in Agile. Here, if, well, not that kind of an expert, no, a little bit, no, quite a bit, not that much. Here, it's like break even, right? Not eh, eh, second time, second conference, first conference. Reda Book wants, Agile what? Right, Agile what? Okay, so just one straight line, okay? Go ahead, go! One line, move it, move it. Just one line, yeah? Okay, okay. One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five, okay? So please, one, two, three, four, five. Okay, join your table. There is something that is not working here Okay, so yeah, you switch table you are four five five. What is four? No Four four I said four here. Oh Oh, you were here. Sorry You can okay observers can be just below right that's There observers can be there you want to be an observer Observe you want to work you have a team Okay So What we're gonna work in this New project that is called you were talk talk, right? You were talk your Over So yeah, more or less you all know you were right? Okay, so we are doing with something similar. So the first thing that we're gonna do You were like that. Let's play We're gonna work on a persona Right, okay, you all know the technique called persona or not who doesn't know the technique called persona Okay, great. So what we're gonna do now is to define a potential customer, right? for my new application, right and In this case, we're gonna include something on the traditional persona That is the moment of truth. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna draw please try to draw nicely And Describe this person eight Name not like an actual age not between 25 and 30. No an actual age an actual name an actual gender It's a person right potential user for the uber tack tacker Right and something about him, right? states Sorry states Hobbies What he does for living what he want to do he does sports or not or he or she whatever and we're gonna include and this is the first customer Centricity seed What are the moments of true on that person? So when that person touches my business? When it becomes important for him when he starts using it for example stops using it or something that is happening While he uses it remember the light the customer before you're in an after Right, and we have to describe. What is the touch point? So how is what is he touching? What is his contact to my business, right? What part of the application where call center what whatever or the Apple store or the play whatever Right is the contact is the touch. What is he touching, right? Okay, so we have maximum of ten minutes to describe a potential User of huber tack tack and please be creative. Okay, so let's go ten minutes Yeah, please. Yeah, sure.  I'm gonna give you markers I'm gonna give you markers. Yeah, I have markers You can help me with this table Yeah, one person this one one persona per table you have here markers So try to be creative and draw nicely Oh Wow, very nice Start drawing For what are they don't have bottles anymore? Okay, I'm gonna get this because it's gonna be top water and I'm not gonna risk that I So here you have this to Thank you very much You are the tape owner When you're done, you have to stick that you're the tape owner now When you are done When you're done So you are now the tape owner When you're finished, yeah, when you're done You are the tape owner now when you're done when you're finished Okay, you are now the tape owner, okay? You Are now the paper order This is for the next exercise. You're not a paper order This is for the next exercise. You're now paper order For the next exercise, you're now the paper order Four minutes to go Four minutes don't forget your touch points and moments of truth, right four minutes Don't forget touch points moments moments of truth That's point can be part of your application for example But think about how he touches the business the huber-tac-tac business Use your tape to put your piece of paper on the wall, right? So please table one Table three table two there. Sorry Table four table five Yeah, they are sorry Yeah, please Why do we do what? Okay, because it's fun, right, but what else why? Exactly empathy Empathy so we want to understand how he feels right? We want to put ourselves in his shoes So now we're gonna go one step forward Or we're going to create a story Right.  What is he what is happening that day for him in? Which he touches my business and when he needs the tactic to use the tactile huber the huber tactic, right? It's clear. So 10 minutes get to work customer journey more empathy I think it's connecting with their needs or level because when you do something like this, you might actually Different areas where we could be But we never thought of it. Yeah, exactly We could have been there to help our users and we are exploring those opportunities If we were just going about working on the features, of course You would have never thought of where else can we touch them, right? How can we make that like easier? Yeah, absolutely, absolutely and if you do this exercise, this is part of a design thinking process usually so if you do this for real, you're gonna Try to get more empathy through sorrowing through interviewing customer through asking through work focus group through getting that people that actual people that is within your your Customer profile and getting this information from them, right? That's a great exercise if you put together developers with actual customer understanding the needs and something that that is very powerful to us to ask your customer is What bothers you in that situation and how can we help you, right? But there's me that I can get home. So how can I help you? So I don't care about the downloading the application logging in or whatever. I just gotta get home fast And maybe if there's another talk coming up, I won't wait for you. I'm gonna take it Yeah, exactly exactly So that's your situation and no matter how good or bad your application is if it makes your life Easier it's gonna be successful, right and developers had to understand that What I use in order to get that Flowing down to the developers because here usually we are on the business level, right? We are not yet on the user story, right on the the actual stuff that is gonna be done by teams so what I do at that epic level is Is Something that I call customer epics or customer focus epics and we're gonna work on something like that Right up like that. So we have these pieces of papers Just grab one for table. We're gonna write this one of this, right? This is not a template at all. So forget the template, right? Sorry, but I have to write something there and also it's not related to your talk talk on purpose. So you have to Think and explore yourself Explore the empathy that you get on the table for your customer to create something like this So you choose the moment of truth, right? choose choose one of Those that you already created And ready ready down right and right again the touch point here right, okay, it's a big user story and then you write the name of your initial persona and Write what he wants what or she wants what he really wants to get out of me out of my business, right? Then what happened when he when he or she Touches the touch point. What happens? I want that I touch here and I get this Right, so the focus here is how are we helping him or helping her, right? Understand what I mean so touch point Situation for that person related to the touch point what does she want? What it's what happened what he touches the touch point and How are we gonna answer that need? Right, it's a customer focus epic when we describe What is happening in my customer and how are we answering to his need? Okay? So just try to write in your table this one or two Related to those types points and that people that you just creating your personal right so maximum 10 minutes Just do a couple of days and very well done me team. Okay. Let's go I keep it that there so you can just have an example It's not easy at all. It's really hard. It's that's a really hard one great So if you didn't yet, please stick it in the wall your great so Who What who of you or which team has been already talking about technology? about an app or You were talking about an app Where are you talking about an app? Where are you talking about an app? Where are you talking about an app? Where are you talking about that? Where are you talking about the app? Okay, so you're human beings You are not really supposed to talk a lot about Because maybe you don't have enough yet. I don't know I don't know about your situations your customers, you know better than me, right? But Why why do we do this? Why do we do this? Oh, yeah, how we manage with the expectation Exactly, exactly. So we are now trying to understand what we can do To cover our customer's expectations. So we are hopefully getting something done Great, we don't know what you don't know how So then Hopefully here we already have some people from Development from people to help Just having an initial information about the customer. So just to get Empathy for the customer just to receive information not to give information right in this part of the cycle. What are we doing now? With do you know No, it's not super Mario No, no again That's that's a product It was he does right, there's a problem for me. So he takes He thinks I've been a big piece of work, right? And if you need to see it Which is magical gun, right? So I So there we have Two pieces of work that are the smaller right? You can handle that So what do you think a problem should do?  What is the best choice this or this? So he goes on And So what does he do he explodes he he's brought it this into and then he didn't go for this one here Because he wants to get rid of this What he did here He didn't split this one He is pleaded in one here And now you have to use more This is more that can be consumed by the team. So this is more or not Right, what do you do it you I don't like the word priority I don't want you to waste a tricky word The this is not part of the workshop, but I will explain why so if you say priority you mean that something it's more important than another thing, right and Behind every initiative there is someone who invented who had the idea.   That's why you have everything is prioritized everything is important This is important. This is important. It's important Don't call priority or the I just talk about order and now Team behave as a product but you have full team notes and You have to split your big user story in two three whatever smaller Then you don't have to write that much. You just have to write a title, right? Because this is we all know that this is not a contract or we're not wrong right there Getting empathy. So now we're just writing titles. So Splitting the work this way. So first I need you to do this Split one or two and Then choose what is more important from the customer perspective and then Split that one Again in two or three. I encourage you to draw a line so you don't mix up later, right? Until you get to Small enough pieces of work. You're here don't have a team This is user story size or not it about long in 10 minutes You can do it. Okay. Okay Great course this this is Just an example, right? This is tiny bit Or what does it or what does it means to get and it's turned up? Uses story workshop With something that came up directly from a need of a captain, right? So if you do this on true life Yes, ensure that you start your user story workshop. You can create The actual the actual backlog in your photo corner. That is something coming from the actual customer Right something like that based on the empathy for the customer as this week epic that is that you created Of course reading a backlog is not something that you can do in 10 minutes, right? Okay, then so now you have 30 seconds To decide in each table who resembles more to the persona you created Because one of you is going to be that persona 30 seconds. Choose that persona Everyone but the new persona is gonna shift people, right? But you are gonna go here.   You're gonna go there So the persona the persona has to pick The persona The persona has to take the new group and explain what is on that for him, right? So it's like these guys Describe this in my situation, right? And they come up with this journey and with this stories and then with this backlog, right? Okay, so let's go Maximum on two minutes two minutes to wall. Okay Yeah with your team you're the persona, right? I thought it was really clear No, you have to go to that table with her Yeah, everything is in the wall. I have to go to the wall Use the wall. That's why I ask you everyone to stand up one minute Gonna no no no you can see whatever you want. I'm gonna where we're closing. Yeah. Yeah, we're closing so It's sorry, sorry, but we are running out of time And Why well what wait, why do you think this is important? So this time I call this reverse demo When the customers tells the team what he does with the actual stuff built What do you think? Yeah, it creates a much healthier is validating the experience So that helps you Validating the experience Right, and of course, this is very motivating for the team I do I do this in one of my customers and This is great for them. It's like they have the people using the software Explaining what they're gonna do with the stuff that they build in the current screen Right So there's a bunch of things that I try in my customer that I do need my customer in order to get this Customer-centric culture happen. So here you just see some We're gonna quickly go through some things that you can do such as including after our customers in your inception Do the stuff that we did with personas so include the moment of truth Connect to the your your backlog or your user story map or whatever with a customer journey When how is the customer gonna use that that stuff of yours Have a conversation about it at epic level about the need of your customers So what you created there that I call the customer-centric epic, right? So you all know that this is a template But templates are evil. So I'm just gonna show that to you more so include actual customers In your demos or in your screen preview or even better do this reverse screen them, right? Something we can do this social media to get actual actionable feedback from the final customer at this company does, right? And that can help you creating the actual customer-centric Culture in which you know that you don't know what the customer wants. You just can guess, right? For you have to create a structure to support that So don't focus on the apartment. Don't focus on technologies Don't focus on components. You have to focus on experiences Right and a firm organization that I organize it that way. And of course, it's very important to align Align constraints so to have the goals that I aligned toward the Created in your customer. So again, use what you already know. You already know about I dial about experimentation about Inspecting and adapting Just make it meaningful for the business So So make it happen, please Thank you

So Euro dollar maybe on the one day timeframe, right? And you're wondering, all right, so do you think price might reverse from here? Okay, you can come in here and maybe just draw a Fibonacci retracement and say, hey Desmond or hey Peggy, hey Desmond, do you think this is a strong resistance level? Now, how does this work? You can highlight this strong resistance level.  So what happens is that once you send this message through, right, and if I'm reading it for the first time or anyone else is reading it, all they need to do is to hover their mouse over it and you can see it lights up on the chart directly, right?

She will share a few about the gold trading strategy that she has used over the years and that she has specialized in. So one of the things is that she is one of the better traders that we have, right? I think she passed multiple pro-firm trading tests eight, nine or 10 different times already, right? And she specializes in gold trading in particular, right? So not only the strategy, but the nuances, the behavior of how gold tends to behave. She'll be sharing with you about it, right? And she'll be showing you the live charts in today's session. So yep, do enjoy today's session. Remember disclaimer, everything in this webinar is educational nature, the strategy, you know, everything else, right?  And so yeah, without further ado, I'll pass the time on to Peggy now and she will share a few how she navigates and trades the gold market. Hi guys, how are you guys doing so far? Let's just look at the charts for today, okay? You have any question, okay? You can just ask me any question you want to know us about gold, okay? I will share with you guys like I use this strategy to pass all my challenge even phase one, phase two and get funded, okay? What is this? Okay, so basically there is the trick for you to see. For example, I will use two EMA, okay? That will be EMA. One is 200 EMA, okay? I will just put this like blue color. Any color is up to you, but in this case, I will put blue and another one EMA is EMA 100, which is, okay? I will put green, but I think I will put slightly different. Okay, for 200 EMA, I will put, I will choose pink, okay? So basically if a trade go, for example, what you can see here in the, just put watermark, okay? And then you know which timeframe I'm talking about. For all here, the firstly, usually I will go to the higher timeframe for which it's daily just to look for the direction. So I know that today I'm going to buy a sale, okay? Because I know that price is mega high or low high and like last Friday, we know that price is come from the resistant level, okay? About $1993, right? And then you can see like big rejection over here. So today I will look for the buy, sorry, for the sale entry and then I would like teach you how to use the EMA. For example, over here, usually, okay, over here as we already know that EMA 100 and 200 is at support and resistant. In this case, what you can see over here in last week, which is Thursday, okay? Price is really break above. Okay, you wait for price to pull back and then use, oh, okay, use like, use sale here. Because you know, in goal, usually they respect EMA 100 and 200. And if you want to know, let's say if you want to like scope goal, you go to M5, what you can see over here in M5, if you like want to scope goal, let's say over here, you know that price is on uptrend, okay? You're on uptrend here, they go up, they cannot go down. This is EMA 100, right? Once, okay, usually one price is break below, EMA 100 and 200, right? This is the area for you to sell goal. This is the one. So basically you wait for price to pull back at EMA 100 or 200 and then you sell. Okay, you get what I mean. You can go back or tomorrow onward, you can just go down to M5 and then you can see that it price, usually the first time, based on my like trading, okay? Usually 95% if price break below the EMA 100 and 200 in goal, usually I will wait for price to pull back and sell. The accurate is about 95%. Okay, based on what have been trading here and then you sell, okay? And you can use EMA 100 and 200 to identify that in the lower time frame she's here. If price cuts across the candle, it's meaning that price on sideways or right ranging, okay, here, over here. And if price is on up, like on downtrend, usually in the lower time frame, for example, like daily what we can look at daily that we will look for sale today, right? Today, even though in a head for, you want to look at the candle, okay? Price is still on the, this is very nice rejection here. And again, if you guide trade goal, one thing you need to take note if it is over here, we call, this is we call hidden base. Okay, this is called hidden base here. What you can see here, that's why price come to this zone here and then sale. What you can see here, okay, I try to in this zone right here and then you sell. You get what I mean? This is called hidden base here, okay? And if you just want to draw support and resistance and you know that this is your resistance level like here, be a resistance level and price still on downtrend because today we are look for opportunity to find your sale entry. And then you can go to the lower time frame which is H1, what you can see over here is H1. Again, guys, if you want to scarf, right? Usually, this is a keyword, maybe you can take note. Let's say if price is come down to EMA 100 or 200 in H1, H4, or even like higher time frame which is day or weekly. Okay, you can just create a sale entry over here. Over here. Or here. Okay. Let's say if there is no major news, usually from this side, from over here, price will bounce off from here, either here or go up.  But usually we will bounce from here at least 50 pips. Okay, from like EMA, this is EMA 100 in green and EMA 200 over here. And on my left, what I can see here, that is a demand zone. Okay, we call demand zone here which is this one. You can mark and then you can demand zone here. This is called demand zone, right? And then it's have what this one EMA 100. And then if you want to use Fibonacci, you can just draw from here to here. And then I think around this one should be 60. There is no Fibonacci here. In this case, I don't use it, but I know that that would be, in this case, I may just put like 50% here and then you know that, okay, in 50% here, we do have somewhere, this is a resistant level. Okay, here, right? Which is here in H1. And if the price come down here, oh, here to here or around this one I will buy from here. Again, if you buy usually 30 to 50 PIP, okay, you can make a scope goal. In this case, okay, then now over here. And another thing, if you want to know that your price is still on down trend or not, usually in the low or in the lower time frame, which is like H1, if price is still on down trend, they will probably be below EMA 100 and 200 here, unless if they are changing in momentum, which is bullish price have to go above EMA and EMA 100 and 200. And then in this case, you need to wait for price to pull back and then you buy. But if you want to see the momentum, meaning that like today you will buy at sale because EMA in the lower time frame is still on, I mean like below EMA 100 and 200 in M5. Any questions so far guys, you have any question? The section won't be recorded, I think. Yeah, okay, you get what I mean.  I don't want to go through until M1 because you might get confused. It's just that if you just trade based on either H1 or M5, you will already can make the money. And then if you want to ask me where is my risk reward, like you already know that gold is very volatile and usually the risk and reward is may not great, but we in and out very often because I scope goal. Okay, usually my PIP is at least 250 to 500 PIP, 50 PIP, sorry, 50 PIP for goal. Okay, in this case, what you can see just now, but this one you need to practice, okay? You still pull back here and then sell here from here. So from here, 1,980, which is 1,980 in a lower time, in a higher time frame, which is a resistant level, right? And it came down to here is already almost 30 PIP, already almost 30 PIP here. From here to here, 1,980.5 to 1,977.8 is almost 30 PIP. It's really good.  Okay, always you trade goal, try to look for a demand and supply as well. You can use EMA 100, 200 to trade. I will show you the example. Let's say we are in H, we are in H, H4 here. Over here, let's say price is already break below. Below, okay. You wait for price to pull back and then you sell here. And then you know that in the higher time frame, which is H4, price is below EMA 100 and 200. Usually price is on downtrend, okay? But once it break above these two EMA, and you can see when it crossing here as well, okay, you know that it's on uptrend. Okay, let me show you this, for example, if I find entry, let's say here, okay, let's say here, you know, we know that price is at like resistant level, somewhere around here. Okay, in H1, what we can see is still bad, is still bearish, right? Okay, in this case, you can go to M5 to get entry. Okay, for example here, what you can see here, you know that price is on resistant level, which is here, and then price is already going to break the EMA 100 and 200. So actually our strategy is that price break, we wait for pullback and then we're gonna sell, right? Yeah, meaning that you know that price on resistant level, in H4, maybe it's going to end with the red candle, and in H1, it has a red candle, all the way red candle, right? You go to M5 to wait for price to pullback, let's see, okay? Okay, now it's already pulled back here, right?  So this one is suitable for you guys who have time to scalp, at least I will put a few lot side here. Okay, let's say if I want to trade like five lot, for example, I don't press five lot here, either I put one lot or 0.5 or 0.25 is depend, because my strategy sometime price might go above this a little bit, so you need to have like spare lot to layer, okay? And then now we already place here, right? And what you can see here, or you can see go up until here, you see in this case what is going to happen? Okay, I stop here, we enter here, but what you can see that price is from like around 1992, it go up until 1995, let's say about 30 pips, meaning that then you know that this is your resistance level in like M5 here, okay? So you might have the spare lot to like place here, either like you place here, you wait first, and then we can see what you can see that, the M8 is going to like curving down here, so meaning that price is on down trend, okay? So if you don't, if you are not practice this strategy, if you think that price is reward here, you might got panic cow, and then you might cut lot or might hit your stop lot, but you need to look on your left, that this is your resistance in M5, and on the higher time frame, which is H1 price is on resistance level, okay? You need to hold, okay? And you can see here, for example, our first entry around 1990, for example, and then price, we layer here again, which is 1995, so when the price came down, let's just say at this level, 1987, it's already how many pips, almost 100 pips right from 1995 to 1987, at least from 1990, it's already 30 pips here, and then from there, it's about 80 pips, okay? You get what I mean? Any question so far, I try to explain for you guys, anyone, you get the idea? Okay, let me look at M15, okay? What you can see in M15 is here, okay? If you want to look, just now we were like, you know, sale from here, right here, just now we were sale here, and then price is go up, almost hit the resistance level, and then after it's break below, and from here, on the lower time frame, which is like M15, you know that is a resistance level, I thought it's a support in the H1, yeah, sorry, in M15, that's why when price came down, it finally would up from here, okay? Any question, but in this case, I still hold, okay?  Indicator, I'm using only EMA, blue, pink one is EMA 200, okay? Only you this and another one EMA 100, that's all. But again, you trade with this one, you need to, if you go to the higher time frame, you can trade gold with demand and supply, okay? Like here, for example, another example of demand and supply, this is called supply zone, you can call supply zone here, okay? When you see the candle in the higher time frame, which is the close like that, you should, this is called supply zone, okay? And another one is somewhere here, by price almost touches, but haven't yet like here, they haven't come. Then over here is like resistance support level, yeah, here is support level in head four. All right, somewhere here, I will see if you want to use Fibonacci, I think I will put like swing high, so you know it should be 38% somewhere here, 38% okay, either you can use Fibonacci as well, yeah. I will try another example for you to, okay, if you trade demand and supply, you need to see the big either bearish oblique candle, okay? Another one, and this one also, for example, like here, price big touches, you see? You remember I said when the price, if there is no major new, and this is a major new definitely, price came down, okay, and then reward up, and after that, try to like go up, and then eventually it's still on bearish. Usually, EMA 200 is stronger than EMA 100, so when price is come to here, EMA 200, right? And then new, boom, price is bouncing off from here and cannot stand or cannot go above EMA 100 here, which actually is a resistant level in head four, right here. Let's say you buy from here, and then you can sell from here as well, okay? You can go back and you practice, you can wait here, okay?  Like here, this is demand zone here. You can, the price come to the zone here, this one and then go up, bounce off from here, which is like, you know, they come until 199, 1955 to 1964, almost 100 pips, which is, if you buy from here, your TP could be here, which is a resistant level, right? Here, your TP, okay? Another example, and let me look for the sale opportunity, if you want to trade only on demand and supply, okay? Okay, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, okay, here, not every demand and supply work, for example here, okay? For example here, or actually this is a work, demand and supply, you need to trade many fresh one, okay? These are fresh one, what you can see over here, price, it touch the zone, and then it's leveled up. So usually, we only trade demand and supply, so when it's fresh, which is, when the price come in the first time and then you put the buy or sell entry. In this case, demand zone, we put buy entry here, and then, boom, price is from here, 197 until the highest one is here, 2006, that's a lot, okay? This is the example, this is another example, let's go. Let's go, here, first time fresh. I zoom in for you to see, okay? Here, this is the one, this is the one here, okay, what you can see here, and then if you can, if you know how to use Fibonacci, okay, you can draw your left to the right, and what you can see somewhere here, they do have 38.2% Fib, right here, okay, somewhere here. This is another example, okay? What you can see here, when it come in the first time here, let's just say 1,970, all the way up here is 1,977, so 70 PIP, okay? At least 70 PIP here, you already clone in profit, which is we already know that the resistance level is here, okay, you buy here, and then this is the TP, you cannot hold until it goes all the way up, unless, because here we don't know what's going to happen, right? For example, here, it's going go, what we need can know that, okay, price on up 10, because they are on, I mean, they are above EMA, 100 and 200, what you can see here, one is close each other, and then, you know, they're like going a pass like that, you know that it's really strong uptrend, okay? And then now, price is make a low, low, low high over here, and then we say that, okay, we don't know where the price is going to break below EMA 100 and 200 or not, because we don't know what is going to happen in the future, that's like you buy from here, you just scale your profit here, 70 PIP, okay, then you get out of the trade, okay? That's all, all right? Is this copy of the cropping on either EMA? Okay, you, this one, usually I will do an M5, okay? If M15, this is gonna be my legal zone, for example, okay? I will try to get the example like, okay, let's, I just mark here first, okay? This is MMA 100 and M5, okay, and this is M15, no, this is not a good example. There will be some time that price is not like spec EMA 100 and 100 and 200 in M5, I need to have another spare lot, you know, to place order when the price go up or go down until EMA 15, but in that case, meaning that if the price is come halfway and then my all position, not all position, I mean the balance is like blue or maybe I cut a lot, okay? Just in case price is not go to my direction. Let me see, in this case is still a spec. I don't know that I can find the example, but usually just give me one minute, I try to show you guys, to show you guys, maybe, maybe, maybe I start from here. Okay, let's just look at here first, but this one is really less spec or maybe a little bit more. Okay, now let me mark the zone. Let me mark first, okay? Okay, this is my 15 EMA 100 and 200 around this one, or maybe I just put the zone here, for example. Okay, I go to M15 or M5, okay? In this case, okay, first thing first, okay? Now our strategy is that if price break below, okay, break below either EMA 100 and 200 here, you wait for price to pull back, then you sell, right? Okay, if you ask me for the TP, you can use EMA 15, M15 for your TP. So basically if you sell from like around this zone, right? Here, and your TP, it could be here. Either it could be here or it could be here.  You really close all the profit. And if you want to reenter again, okay? You wait for price to pull back here and then you sell. I still try to find, okay, you see, we are ready. Okay, I stop here, we get the enter here and then you can see that the EMA is curbing down from here, meaning the price is still on downtrend, okay? Here, you can see that, right? And this is my EMA 15, what you can see here, meaning that on the lower timeframe, the price on downtrend, they cannot go above EMA 100 and 200 in M5, right? Yeah, I did it first, okay? Yeah, and then you can see that they're really from here, from what you can see, they're apart from each other and after that, they're going to close here and you can hold your position. For example, you enter here, just like you enter here, right? Maybe you enter here and then your TP, you close some order, I mean some order and then you remain here, maybe one to two and then you still can hold. I think price still on downtrend. You can go down more in this case. This is, okay? This is meaning that you just hold your sale position, okay, in this case. I will, I'm trying to show you I need to layer when price is not go to my direction but I don't have the example here but I can show here, let's say, let me try to find the example. Okay, maybe I answer like, in this strategy, I'm using M5, M15 for you to, how to say, for you to layer, you get one in for example, for example, you are, we are going to, let me try, try, try to find. Let's say, let's say, I think I add one more, which is, no, cannot, let me see, let me find, just give me a sec, what is this? Okay, this is, no, okay, for example, okay, example here, you, we know that this is like, okay, when you enter here, maybe, I think I may find the example. Let's just say here, up to here, up to here. Okay, like, you know, when the pride come here, like this zone, right, I think I might to cut a bit more. Okay, I think I find a good example for you to see. Here, for example here, okay, our strategy is that pride come to like this zone, for example, right, they don't, it doesn't have to be like, you know, exact as like EMA 100 or 200, okay, it might go above a little bit, some, it's not even rich EMA 100, which is green color, but in this case, you must that, okay, this is your EMA in M5, and then you must that, okay, the EMA 15 is somewhere around here. Hey, this is not a good example. Let me see, let me see. Let me see what's going on here, okay? We sell, okay, for example, we sell here, and then I just put, we sell, we sell and then pride is still going up, up to here, you might need to switch to M15, M15 is here, but to say usually, let me look for the, no, this is not a good example. There will be, okay, let me, let me, let me, okay, maybe here, M15, okay, for example, this is a good example, okay, for example here, our strategy is right, when the pride is go up, first time usually, you will get, and then boom, and after that, you keep playing M5 pride, you get another entry, and then in this case, they only go up like from 1964, go up to 1966.5, it's about 25 pips, and after that pride is came again, and then it just go up a bit, and then you buy, but then you expected that pride will go up, correct, because we playing M5 right here, but this is our zone to play the order, okay, in this case, you're gonna buy here, buy here, and then you see that, oh no, pride is going to break in 800 and 200, right, in this case, and then you're going to, you think our strategy is that you need to sell, right, but in this case, you know that you, maybe you look for the higher timeframe first, okay, maybe in this case, I think it's going to like bullish, then you go to M15, okay, you go to M15, and then you know that M15, this is EMA 100 and 200 here, meaning that when you enter here, okay, you need to go to the lower timeframe, which is you have to place the order somewhere here, another, another a few lot here, because you know, they act at the support level in this case, okay, and you go to M15 again, what you can see here, when pride, you know, come to or react with EMA 15 which is in this box here, and then after that pride is revealed in this case, once pride is revealed up to here, usually you need to exit all the position, you get what you mean because in our strategies, when pride break below EMA 100 and 200 in M5, we're going to wait for pride to pull back and then we're going to sell, right, but in this case, we have the buy position here, and then you know that, oh no, maybe there might be something wrong, and then you look at EMA 15, and then you know that, okay, this at EMA 100 and 200 in M15, and then you place the buy order here. For example, the first order, you put 0.01, for example, okay, and then you put like 0.01, and then you put 0.01, you can trade, test this strategy with smaller loss side, okay, this is in M1, oh, sorry, in M5, for example, okay, you press the first order here, okay, one price come now, you need to have double loss side, which is Martin Gale, we already know Martin Gale, right? The Martin Gale one, you can put 0.02, 0.02, just cover the first like here, right? One price come like maybe halfway here, all the position already blue, all the balance blue, then you just exit all the position, even though your third entry is still red, but the overall it's already blue, you just close all the position, okay? Because the strategy that we will apply to pull back here gonna sell, okay? But in this case, we don't know what is going to happen when we see, okay? And then boom, price go up there, okay? Like all the way there, if we know the, I know because we don't know the future, right? So this, you know, now we already see that the price go all the way up, it's just that, you know, I just tell you when the price, you know, come down all the way here, either let's just say the beginning of the day, like you want to buy it by, either price come here, if you have a confident, you can just hold the trade, or if the price go up here, you can just either close the, like the first order here, and then you hold the below one, it's either one, okay? This is a good example, for like one price, if you know, case your EMA 100 and 100 and 200 in M5, but then they go all the way to M15, and then you can layer, which is we can call either like layer and so on, okay? Any questions, guys? So far, any question? You get the idea. First, okay, first, you just look at daily timeframe first, for example, for example here, if like that here, let's just say here, for example, I show you, for example, like daily timeframe first, here, if price come up like that, you know that price is come from the support level, and it's ending with the big bullish candle, okay?  So today we're going to buy as buy, we're gonna buy for the whole day, okay? Then you can go to H1, okay, H1, but you can see in H1, now they're going to, they already break above EMA 100, which is a green color here, right? So now we go to look at M5, what you can see here, M5, if price on uptrend, they have to go above EMA 100 and 200 in M5, which is in this case, where is my, oh, EMA 200, okay, what you can see here, go pull, sometimes not have to be exact here, and then you get already TP, one nine, sorry, one eight, two two two, one eight three five, that's quite a lot more than 100 pips, right? Okay, and then you buy, and then we already hold because we know that today we're going to buy at buy or long, okay? And after that price is came back again here, and then you have another buy order here, okay, the buy position here, okay, and then you hold, okay, what you can see here, oh, don't pull, oh, then I think there's a news here, then all the way up, okay? This is how we trade, or how I trade, okay? Any questions so far guys? What do you can see that? Once usually they are sideways, right?  Before strong uptrend in the lower timeframe, you can see that price, or EMA is like crossing each other like this, meaning they're crossing like that, right? And in H4, it's a sideways, you know, it's sideways, actually it's sideways here, it's here, okay? After that they decided to bullish, like because we said that we're going to buy, in this case, up to here, let me see here, I will show you here. You, we know that this is, first we're going to sell here at EMA 100, and another one is at EMA 200, which is somewhere here, it's the resistance level somewhere here. Let's see, okay? Let's see. Let's see, I go to the, okay. Okay, from here, when price come around this, right, I'm ready to sell, because this is the resistance level, and I will have the spare lot somewhere here, if price come to this zone, which is what you can see here. I will get the order from here, from 1x65, and then price come all the way to 1x55 in the head four, already 100 pips from here, okay? Like I say, if higher time frame, you don't need to wait for confirmation, you just place the sale order, okay, over here. Let's just go to M15, or M5, sorry, M5 here, okay? Do you think that you can sell here? Okay, we sell, right? And M15, sorry, M5, we also have the, going to place the sale order here as well, okay? Like just now, I think we enter somewhere here, right?  And then now we can see that it's going to like sideways or on down strain here, okay? Usually, you sell from here, 1x59 to 1x55 is 40 pips, okay? In the low, in M5, it look like this, and sorry, in head four, it's at the resistance and somewhere near to EMA100, in head four, okay? Any questions so far, guys? You have any questions? You can ask me, okay? If there is no question, I'm going to end the session for today. Any questions so far, guys? You can try these strategies, okay? Okay, I'm going to launch, can you help me vote? This webinar appreciates that. You can just try this strategy. I use this strategy to trade if I have time, okay? If I'm on my computer, I will use EMA100 and 200 to trade.  Let's say in M5, okay? If you are using EMA100 and 200 in M5, they are respect very nicely. If they're on, like, you know, if there is a trend, for example, if on Dow trend or uptrend, usually they will respect EMA100 and 200 in M5. Yep. Okay, I think I use this on goal, but I use EMA100 and 200 for the other pair for the higher time frame, just to help me see support and resistance, for example. You guys still can see my charts, right? Over here, can you still see? Okay, usually I just use EMA200 just to help me to identify the trend. Can you guys see my chart here? Yes or no? I'm not sure. Okay. I don't think that will be recorded. Okay, okay. Over here, you can use EMA100 and 200, which is over here, what you can see here. Like I say, EMA200 or 100, they act as support and resistance. In this case, you know that this is your resistance level, right? So one is calm, and then you know that this is your EMA200 price, even though you need to go above, but eventually they still respect the resistance and they're still coming down and go back and pull again and they're still on down trend. And let's say if you use EMA200, I use for the currency pair just to help me identify the trend. For example, I know that once price is close here and then it break below, it's still on down trend. So I hold, you can hold the trend until price is reversed here and then you can exit the trade. Like you sell, pull here, you can just exit your trade already because they may be changing to the upside, which is eventually they're going to upside here. And then upside already, before that they're sideways somewhere here, right? Then after that, eventually they're close each other over here and then boom, they'll go all the way up. Okay, guys. I don't know how to use it, but just check it. Okay, all right, guys. Thank you so much for your time today. Okay, I will catch up with you again next webinar. Let's try this strategy and you can try with smaller lot size, which is 0.01 and see if it works for you because it is good for those people who have time. Okay, like I used it, you know, I used to scapegoat all day, really all day, but it really tiring because you need to in and out very often. So I get in, get out, I get in, get out. Okay, if you ask for my, if you ask for like lease and reward, of course it's not great, but if you want to collect a few pips, if you're not over-trade, okay, because sometimes price might go above a little bit, you might have, you might need to have the spare lot size to lay you in zone, okay? And then, you know, you can collect some money from this strategy. Okay, guys, thank you so much for your time, I hope you guys have a good day, all right? Thank you guys, bye, take care.


Welcome to Computer Science 75. All of the material in this course will be available through Canvas. You can get to it from the evc.edu site by clicking Canvas in the quick links, then clicking the link next to Go to Canvas site, and follow the login instructions there. You may want to bookmark this page to make it easier to access. I've logged into the course as a student. Let's take a look at the detailed course syllabus. First, the best way to contact me is via email or through a message directly on Canvas. I'm on campus occasionally, but will also set up Zoom video conferences so you can contact me online. You can read the course description and student learning outcomes on your own. There is a required text for this course. We're using the 11th edition, but the 10th edition of the book will serve as well. You'll have several assignments to write. Assignments will be graded on functionality. If a program doesn't work, nothing else matters. There are different degrees of not working, ranging from minor errors to catastrophic failure, and grading will range accordingly. Organization. Does it look as if the program were planned in advance or just thrown together? Readability, which includes proper use of naming and indentation. For example, if you have a program that calculates discounts, using a variable named like discount percent is much more understandable than an abbreviation like DP. Appropriate use of programming constructs. If the assignment is about, say, loops, and don't worry if you don't know what those are yet, and you do the assignment without using loops, then you haven't used the appropriate constructs for writing your program. This course has two midterms and one final. If you decide to drop the class, it's your responsibility. If I've noticed that you've missed several assignments or class discussions in a row, I might drop you. If there's any emergency, you have to be out of town, or if there's some extenuating circumstances, drop me an email. A short one is fine to say, Hi, an emergency came up. I'll turn in my assignments when I return. The deadline dates for dropping a class with and without a W are in the EVC schedule of classes. What do I do about late assignments? If an assignment is one week late, I'll take off 10%. If it's one letter grade, if it's two weeks late, I'll take off 20%. More than two weeks, it's my option whether I want to grade it or not, but it will still be with 10% per each week late. You can discuss assignments amongst yourselves. In fact, I'm going to be setting up discussion forums for that exact purpose. But you each have to do your own work. Cheating and plagiarism will be met with an F on an assignment. The EEC catalog has details on the college honesty policy. And if you have any learning or physical needs that require accommodations, make an appointment with the Disabled Students Program, and please notify me in writing via email. Early Alert is an important program at Evergreen Valley College, and I encourage you to read this part of the syllabus and see the answers to the frequently asked questions about the Early Alert program. The other important part of the syllabus is the course outline, where you'll find the schedule for readings and assignments. If you get ahead of the schedule and turn things in early, that's great, although I can't guarantee that I'll grade them early. On the main page of the course, you have links to all the assignments and the discussion forums. The discussions will be set up so that you can't see or respond to other students' posts until you've posted something yourself. Finally, we have Zoom, which allows video conferencing. I'll set up at least two Zoom conferences a week, where you can join in and ask questions or discuss whatever's on your mind. When you use Zoom, please use the Chrome browser for best results. Now, the most important part of the orientation. How to succeed in this course. Read the book. If you try to do the assignments without reading the material or viewing the videos, you are setting yourself up for a very difficult time. Type the example programs in the book. If all you do is look at the code, nod your head and say, yeah, I got this, then in all probability, no, you don't got this. Instead, type the programs and as you type each line, ask yourself what that line does and why it's in the program. This will make a connection between the code and its purpose. If you're adventuresome, try modifying the programs. Make them do something different or something extra. Finally, and perhaps most important, plan your programs before you write them. Either write a flowchart or pseudocode, which is part English and part Java. But no matter what method you use, plan. Programs that are written at the keyboard look like it. And that is not a compliment. Remember, a few minutes of planning can save you hours of frustration when you're writing your programs. If you do get stuck, ask for assistance. Email me or ask for suggestions in the discussion forums. Now let's get started.


On Saturday the 25th of March 2006 photographer Bob Carlos Clarke checked himself out of the Priory Hospital in London where he was being treated for clinical depression. Despite being an in-demand photographer who had created many successful ad campaigns throughout the 80s and 90s he was depressed at the thought of himself getting older. Most of all he was doubting his own talents, shunned by the National Portrait Gallery at least in his mind and the taste makers of photography, the critics, the creators and the writers who decide whose work should be faded and whose work should be dismissed. It was in this dark frame of mind that Bob Carlos Clarke was walking the streets of south-west London when he came to a train line at a level crossing. Bob Carlos Clarke is best known for his beautifully toned and tinted black and white photographs of rubber-clad women. He also created real-life images and portraits of celebrities and eventually established himself as a reputation as an extremely versatile photographer and an exceptional printmaker. I was first introduced to the work of Bob Carlos Clarke through the pages of amateur photographer where Bob used to write articles for them and give us insights into the world of a professional photographer. These recount a story and one of these has stuck with me throughout the years and the story about this is to my mind quite an iconic image of Bob Carlos Clarke and he was in the cemetery in Putneyville with this model who she was tired and she was cold and unhappy with just standing around in the fading light dressed only in this skin-tight rubber dress. Just that very morning her fiance had cancelled their wedding and the last thing that she really wanted to do was to be photographed. So eventually the shoot wasn't going too well and Bob Carlos Clarke asked her what she wanted to do and her response was that all she wanted to do was cry. So cry she did and we ended up with this beautifully haunting and melancholy photograph that once you've seen it just sticks in your mind. Initially he achieved much success with his large glossy coffee table book. It's in these books that you see fantastic examples of this hand-tinting process that Bob Carlos Clarke had arrived at by his experiences in a very small and cramped dark room that he set up initially where the table would collapse on itself occasionally. The rumble of the train going past would shake the enlarger and he would have to time it so that he could get sharp-ish prints that errant hoses would end up spraying chemistry everywhere within the dark room and it ended up with this approach what Bob Carlos Clarke calls brutalising his photographs and I love this idea that it becomes a very organic process that you don't really see very often today in the world of digital. Bob Carlos Clarke said that he made more money from selling his property than he ever did from his photography but he was always aware of the importance of remaining sensible about his commercial viability and he said that magazines required not art but just pictures of a sexy, salty girl. He said there's no point in being arty, there's no point in doing strange lighting or finding props because they just won't run the photographs and consequently he won't get paid. Bob Carlos Clarke was most proud of his documentary photography that he created in the book White Heat which was about Harvey's kitchen in the late 1980s featuring the up and coming then up and coming Marco Pierre White which focused not on the dishes that Pierre White was creating but on everything that surrounded him this this crazy frantic world that that Bob felt echoed his own life in the dark room quite quite neatly. This alchemy for creating from nothing and the photographs that Bob Carlos Clarke produced during this period with this book they set the tone for this hard-living tormented celebrity chef that we're so familiar with today and of course propelled the book White Heat into the best-sellers list. The body of work that Bob Carlos created throughout his career was original, it was diverse, challenging and often very beautiful. You can't walk past or see one of his photographs without having an emotion of some description and they are arresting if nothing else. They're not really the sort of photographs that one would hang on the wall even his simple photographs of the stones on the beach the twisted fork and the spoon these contain the same sort of feeling that Robert Maplethorpe's flowers had. Occasionally his photographs can fall flat and they can just be you know a one-trick pony but at their very best his sumptuous photos reflect this inner struggle and a turmoil that that Bob Carlos Clarke felt throughout his entire life and certainly about his career as a photographer. Bob Carlos Clarke's insight into the world of photography I think is extremely candid and we can take a lot from this insight that he gave us and one of those things that he was always a realist he was aware of the thickness of fashions in photography and that his own work was difficult it can be controversial and it was at the mercy of cultural and social changes. He realized that he wanted to become a photographer who could survive and to do so he needed to do a little bit of everything so you see his work cropping up advertising cars editorial fashion spirit jeans all sorts of things you felt the becoming known for just one thing was far too dangerous and that those photographers who are known for a specific thing invariably run the risk of falling out of fashion themselves he felt the secret of success was to be as self-pleasing as possible to do things just because you want to do them like Henry Cartier-Bresson, Jacques-Henry LaTrigue and Robert Frank the greatest photographers are the ones who don't photograph anyone but themselves like most photographers he wanted not only to be successful, wealthy in mind but also wanted to have the respect of his peer group and and other photographers just have this this validation. Bob Carlos Clarke understood that at the heart of his photography were the ghosts and memories of events past as he became older these ghosts took on more of a gripping hold in his mind he felt that his work somehow was no longer relevant he wasn't in as demand as he was in the 80s and 90s for commercial photography he was unhappy with the advent of digital that is rising up and he felt was kind of cheapening the art form of photography like a lot of photographers and artists who are exceptionally talented he held himself to a really high standard that was completely unattainable and of course failed to recognize the the recognition that he was getting from his peer group eventually all of this struggle had become too much to bear and on that Saturday almost 15 years ago Bob Carlos Clarke stood beside that level crossing in southwest London took a fatal step and was hit by a passing train in the days following his suicide almost as if to rub salt into these emotional wounds of being unrecognized in his lifetime by the National Portrait Gallery a portrait of Bob by his 14-year-old daughter Scarlett was put on display there just days after his death it wouldn't be until 2013 that his photography would be collected by the National Portrait Gallery


The Owen King EU hospital and the Victoria Hospital VH recently held appreciation ceremonies to acknowledge the hard work done by the staff during the year since the transition. Minister for Health and Wellness, Senator the Honourable Mary Isaac, recounts the emotional day last year when the Victoria Hospital transitioned into the Owen King EU hospital. Doctors and nurses, firemen and women, police and all hospital workers well coordinated got on the move and stayed on task till the end. With the departure of each ambulance load, staff waited with bated breath, praying for a safe delivery to the other hospital and return for more patients. At the end of it all, it can be written in our history that the move was well coordinated, flawless and a great success. Prime Minister of St Lucia, the Honourable Alan Sharsney expressed heartfelt gratitude to the hard-working staff of the two institutions for remaining committed despite the challenges they continue to be faced with. We did with what we had and that is my real tribute to the doctors and nurses who were here. They knew that we had to tell them, tell you that what you were trying to do was impossible. Every single day coming to work and recognizing that what was needed and what you had was far away. But yet, you came to work and yet, the persons who were here, the patients, never knew what you were having to go through behind the scenes. That is what gave me strength. Acting Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health, Benson Emel says although it is a time to celebrate, it is also a time to focus on the next phase as it relates to the growth of the institutions. Let me take this time to congratulate all those who are involved in the process. It was challenging, it required extended hours, it required quite a bit of sacrifice but we can come here today to celebrate our survival and we can come here to commit to framing and developing you know, informing this institution and the respiratory institution to bring it and escalate it to the highest standard, one that is delivering care and looking after the well-being of solutions. The first anniversary celebrations were held under the theme transition we have, continued good health and safety will.
