We ended up being up about 48 points. We had a couple of stocks that took some really big dives. We had Snapchat. We had Pinterest. We had a couple of other stocks out there. We had, Jesus, even some roller coasters in Apple, where it just went up and down. We're going to talk about it, but more importantly, we're going to talk about how to go out there and do something that's called tape reading and follow-up breakouts. So we're going to talk about an hour. We're going to talk about an hour, have a little fun. I'm going to teach you guys how to trade. And the goal is today is I'm going to invite every single one of you to come and watch why Cybertrading has been in business for almost 30 years, has a five-star rating on Google, has been endorsed by every brokerage firm, and see why trading is something for you. Because you know what? After seeing what's happening with inflation, everything else, how could you beat inflation? By trading. So before we get started, everybody, just really quick, just quick little disclosure for our compliance audience out there that we're not going to make any guarantees. I'm not going to make any promises, no warranties. And like I said, profits, you could lose more than you actually invested. So please be smart before you get involved in trading. It is very risky, so you want to make sure you know what you're doing. Now what we're going to be learning today is this. We're going to talk about something called tradeable stocks. What makes one stock more valuable to trade with less risk, more reward than others? We're going to talk about something called level three, the ECN book, something that a lot of you probably are only trading like on a level one or level two version. Not even knowing there is even a level four we're going to talk about. I'm going to talk about why the old school of tape reading is so critical in today's market and the best progress to be a full-time trader or maybe just do it part-time because you could do that too. Now, as I just mentioned earlier, I don't know if some of you, by the way, have any of you ever seen me do an event before? Anyone ever see me? I know we had people that came from, was it Metastock? I did an event. Maybe some of you were from the Money Show. I was in Las Vegas on site, maybe found us on YouTube or some other partners. A webinar, okay, no problem. We brandy good to see you always, all right. Twice you think, Charlie? All right, several times. All right, Silver, thank you very much. Well, thanks for coming back. And listen, I love teaching people. So some of you I'm also a guest speaker on Nasdaq. Also a lot of financial stations. Let me just tell you about trading. I love teaching people how to trade. I change their lives because you know what? It changed my life. Trading gave me such a great career. I could spend more time with my family, my kids. I could do some of the things I love to do. And especially some of us going through COVID and seeing how that has changed our lives. We've seen what's happened with inflation. You keep hearing about the stock market, the stock market, stock market. Well, it's now time to start taking matters in your own hands and starting to realize why are you doing it and why are you not doing it right? Because this is going to be the last webinar you're gonna have to watch.  Like you saw those other people that gave those great testimonials just earlier. So over the years fellow traders, how I started Cybertrain University is, I was a big failure rate.  I tried to go out there, do it on my own. Didn't do things right the first time, which is go work for somebody and learn how to trade the proper way.  Now I'm 50 years old. And let me tell you, what I've learned on the first day on the job, I should have never ever made my first trade. It just really did not make any sense because I was using all the wrong tools. And a lot of you are doing the same thing. Some of you out there, you're utilizing the wrong tools. You're trading with the wrong software. And it's not really your fault. Maybe in a way of maybe you've trained from somebody that just looks good on TV. Maybe he had a good infomercial on a YouTube channel. Well, now is the time to kind of say, you know what, enough's enough. And believe me, I went up against a lot of these traders. And if you want to learn from traders, you have to learn from market makers like myself. People that live here in New York is what we were born and bred to do. This is the financial capital world. And that's where it comes down to being a trader. Now to being a very good trader, just to let you know, this is my mom, my mother and father that passed away just recently. And they were immigrants from Italy. I was actually from first generation. And my dad, you know what always taught me, you want to be good at something you got to learn from people that are good in the industry and you want to learn most importantly from the people that are terrible, okay? And I asked my dad, I'm like, dad, why do I want to learn? I said, actually his name is Papa in Italian, we call it. I said, Papa, why do we have to learn from the people that are bad? He's because those are the way you're going to learn from your trade. That's where you're going to learn not to fail. You, making money is easy. You just don't want to lose it and blow yourself up and get yourself in trouble. So you learn from the people that are really bad, things not to do. And then obviously that's how you get good at it. And that's how we teach our classes. We don't teach people how to make money. We teach you how to stop losing it because that's really the big thing that people have a problem doing. So anyway, regarding about my two families, there's my lovely wife Debbie, my two sons, Max, Lucas and Alex.  Hopefully you guys are going to be that one because that's what trading is all about. You have to trade with a team and you got to trust one another and that's how you become very successful. Now, before we get started, just wanted to just get to know a little bit of everybody in this room right here. The first poll I want to do is just kind of tell me what kind of trader is everyone here? Are you a stock trader, options, futures, forex, crypto, an investor, any of those? Well, thank you very much for that. I'm going to, Charlie, I'm going to share that in a trading room. Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on my book. I appreciate it. But you're more than, thank you very much, Charlie. I'm glad you enjoy it. And you know what's a nice fast read. It's quick, you could read it really quick, but it's a great foundation to get started. Anyway, I just want to share the results and you can see here that we do have a lot of stock trades and option traders. Now, let me just kind of explain to you a little bit about trading in general. If you're doing something more than two to three months and you're seeing that you're not getting good at it, you're pretty much probably trading, you got two problems. Number one, you learned from the wrong person or number two, it's just not your style. You all know you want to trade. So just to let everybody know that if you're a stock adoption trader, listen, if you're not doing well after two, three months and you're not seeing that you're making money consistently, you might want to change. Listen, you take a job, you don't like it after three months. You know what, if you hired an employee, you know, eventually he's got to produce. If he doesn't, you know, as much as a nice person that that person might be, you're gonna have to change. So it is very important that you guys learn how to trade in today's market. Now, are you afraid to buy in a down market? That's what we're gonna, that way to get right into it. And I want to show you exactly what the style is of trading, what we teach at Cybertrain University and how market makers actually trade. You're seeing what's happened with the market.  So we're not doing too well. You know, it was, it was pretty easy when the market was down, but now people starting to realize that like, wow, trading is not as easy as I thought it would be. You know, it was easy when the market was down prior to when we had the virus hit us.  Now people like, wow, this is great. I'm making so much money. Yeah, okay. Well, let's see how you're doing now, trading in the market. So you got to basically see where the market's at. So let's talk about a couple of stocks that we traded today.  There we go. There's my little red dot. So did anybody see the stock Sega, S-I-G-A? Did anybody see the stock this week? What happened to it? Actually, it was last week, going into this week. All right, so this stock, no one, okay. So anyway, this stock right here, you could see right here, it started right around here at 9.30, around $9. And you could see here right around 11 o'clock, it kind of flat line and went all the way to 11. And then from 3.30, which is the last 30 minutes, stock went to 13. That was a really substantial move. So you could only trade it the first hour of the open and the last half hour of the close and you made your money for the day. That is a typical, what we teach here at Cybertrain University actually designed a mouse pad that actually tells you exactly why that is and why those times are very, very valuable. Now, as we move on, how do I find a stock like Sega? Listen, we don't give stock picks, we teach you how to learn how to pick your own stocks, but how do we find them? Very simple, we work off the big percentage gainers and losers. Now, I know a lot of you look at this and be like, well, Thal's still in Musil fast. I don't know exactly how to trade it. Which one do we trade? Yes, we have a stock that's of 88%, 40%, 60%. Hell, if I can only make 10% at the year, I can't even believe these things could do it in one day. Well, the first thing you have to kind of understand is that you can't trade everything on that list. And what can make those stocks move in that list? Is it news? Is it indicators? The correct answer is traders bought it. That's the only reason why that stock went up. You hear stocks that have great news all the time and they end up going down. Earnings announcements, mergers, whatever it is. So basically, how could we follow these big buyers and in a down market? That's really what comes down to it. So a couple of ways of doing that. You need to have the right tools. Now, there are a couple of different tools out there and I want to start with one that I think is very popular, you all have. It's called NASDAQ level two. Now, does anyone here have level two? Just out of curiosity, anyone have level two quotes? Mike, you do it, Bill, okay? Charlie, Patrick, okay, good. Well, let me just tell you this, that basically it's pretty much outdated. Level two was big in the 90s. There is something better and bigger out there that we're gonna talk about right now, but let me just kind of just reiterate for some of you don't know what it is. You're basically seeing all the exchanges here, New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ Exchange, maybe some brokerage firms. You're seeing what price they wanna buy it for and you're seeing how many shares they wanna buy. Now, whatever exchange is looking to pay the most over there is at the top, whoever wants to buy it for less is down at the bottom. Basically, it's just a big chat room. It's a network of, and NASDAQ is just telling you, instead of you going to the New York Stock Exchange or the Archipelago or Goldman, where's the trading at that desk? It's all done electronic right here. The problem is this, now pay very close attention because this where things are gonna get very interesting. The problem with this is, is that you don't know who's buying it on the NASDAQ and why is only 100 shares? When the stock traded 20 million, what about buyers at 85 cents? What about buyers at $14? What about buyers at $13? You see, you cannot see the depth. You are only seeing the best buyer and the best seller on the exchange, but you're not seeing all the buyers and all the sellers. So when you think about it, it's kinda like, it's kinda like a waste. You're not getting all the data. So what we're gonna do right here, is I wanna jump over here to something called NASDAQ TotalView. Now, just to do a quick poll, does anyone here have level three quotes? I call it level three. Some of you might call, it's called actually NASDAQ BookViewer. I'll explain to you what it is, but just put it in the poll question, Patrick. I see you just put a yes. Now, if you don't have it and if you don't know what it is, just write no. Listen, nobody's gonna rat you out. No one's gonna embarrass you. There's nothing to be ashamed of, okay? The only thing you should be ashamed of is losing money and not knowing when to take losses when you see what's happening to overall market, all right? I'm gonna stop this. I'm gonna share the poll question with everybody. And you could see here that almost, about 70% of you basically don't have it. So let me explain to you what it is. First of all, this is gonna, you gotta understand something. You can't have support levels without buyers and you can't have a resistance level without sellers. Now, what we're looking at right here is the stock doesn't matter what it is, but you could see right here, it started right around $25, right here at the open, and it came all the way down and it stopped right around this price around 23. After going down for about an hour, about an hour, hour 15 minutes, hovered there for about five minutes and then decided to go back up all the way to 24. So if you do the math, 23 minus 24.50, you're talking about $1.50 on 1,000 shares. That's $1,500. Do that every day, okay? You're talking close to, I don't know, about $300,000, $400,000 salary, all right? Now, who doesn't want that job? But why did it stop at 23? Why not 22? Why not 24? Well, if you look over here on the Book View or on the NASDAQ Exchange, there are buyers at every single price level and there are shares that are gonna be bought at every price level, but the one you wanna look at is this. 45,000 shares are gonna be bought at 22.85. Now, when you look at all the buyers and all the sellers, you got 100, 700, 300, 50 shares, seven shares, 45,000 is one big huge block of buy there.  That's gonna make a support and that's why the stock went to 24.50. Now, let's look at another one here on the opposite side. Here's a stock that goes from $14.50, right here, right the open and you can see it goes all the way up, hits a resistance and it continues to go up and it stops right at 15, 40, around about 10, 17. And then it goes all the way back down to 14. Now, if you knew it was gonna go up and you got in, you gotta have a game plan.  Where are the sellers? And if you look here on the exchange on Nasdaq, you'll see that there is a 91,000 share seller out there at $15.50. Now, you gotta remember, there's sellers at every price level, 300, 500, 29 shares, 93,000 shares. No wonder the stock had resistance levels at 15.40. It's because that 93,000 share seller was out there. Think about this fellow traders. Let me repeat what we said earlier. How do stocks go up and go down? Buyers and sellers, okay. Why people fail in trading? Because they're looking for support levels and resistance levels. And like I just said earlier, you cannot have a support level without the buyers and you cannot have a resistance level without those sellers. So as much as you find them on your end, without looking at and seeing, okay, what's happening on the New York Stock Exchange? Where is, you know, where is, where's Goldman Sachs? Where's Shearson Lehman? Where is maybe some of the institution? Where's BlackRock, you know? Well, you're looking at it. Those are the high frequency trades.   These are the orders that control the market. Now, let me just repeat it again. How much smarter and better trading decisions you would make if you knew where the buyers and sellers were? Let's go over another couple of examples. All right, let's do it at this stock. AMC, we all heard about AMC. It's one of the mean stocks, you know?  But you know what? Where there's volatility, there's opportunity, okay? So let's look over here. Carlos, we're gonna get to that question, okay? We're gonna get to that question regarding about is that 93,000 seller before it gets filled? As of right now, I just wanna kind of take baby steps, okay? Because my question is, did you ever see a 93,000 share buyer in a stock? Do you ever see a 93,000 share seller? I mean, you have to think about it. How many shares would you trade of that stock, okay? Couple of hundred, maybe 1,000. I don't know how deep your pockets are. But you're talking 93,000. I don't think I wanna buck that trade and go against a big seller like that. So let's look at this example, AMC. The stock is going down. So what we always taught, okay? We were taught is where is the buyers, right? Where is support? Do you guys see any support here on this chart? Yes or no? I don't see any support. No, right? Mike, Bill, no. So how do we find support? How do you find support? How do we know it? Listen, we're losing money, right? Forget about the winners. We're losing money. Do we sell now? What do we do? Do we sit there and pray? Do we turn on the financial stations? We look at the news? What do we do? What do we need? We need buyers, okay?  I'm gonna find the next biggest buyer and then right there at $16, fellow traders, there's 178,000 shares. Now, is this crazy? You got people on by 500, 400, 300, 200, 100, 900. 178,000, okay? That's what over $2 million worth, $3 million worth of stock, okay? I mean, think about that. 18 different people make up that.  What do you think? What's the first thing that comes to your mind? Exactly, it's gonna probably go up, right? And guess what? It came to 16 and it went all the way to 1660 in about 30 minutes. $16 minus 1660 is 60 cents.  Oh, I don't know, 1,000 shares, $600, $100,000 a salary. Who doesn't want that job? Who doesn't want that job? Who makes that in 30 minutes? Oh, that's right, day traders, okay? Hell, if you just made half that, to get about making it, if you just made half, there's your $50,000 salary if you do that every day.  That's why people love trading, but the reason why people fail is because they're not following the money. That's the only reason. American Airlines, let's use a braining because some people are like, well, I don't trade this one, I don't trade that one, no problem. Let's look at American Airlines, all right? The stock is steadily going up. Now, in theory, okay, when you're making money, what is your main goal? Take a profit. That's everyone's biggest problem. When do we take a profit? What do we need to tell us when to get out, everybody? No, we don't need to check the options, you're doing it backwards. What do we need? What's gonna help us? Mr. Fibonacci, huh, Cramer, who's gonna help us? We need sellers.  All right, I'm getting pretty excited here. Looks like you people listening very carefully. All right, so we're gonna check over here on NASDAQ and we're gonna see we got a 54,000 share seller right around 1425. That's a hell of a lot more than we're gonna trade. Guess what? Went all the way right there to 1425 and in the matter of, I don't know, 20 minutes, if we didn't get out, boom, it dropped down to 1360, like that.  Now you just took a profit to make it into a loss. Is that what you wanna do? This is what trading is about. Now let me explain something to you. This is not the Fausto-Nacci indicator. I'm not trying to tell you I'm the next biggest genius and I'm the greatest trader out there.  This is how Wall Street trades, okay? This is how everything trades.  Why are they going up? They're up 100% in like 10 years. Shoot, if I knew that, I would have bought it 10 years ago, whatever it is, who's pushing it up? And we know it's not you, it's somebody else they're willing to pay for it. They need it.   Why not? It's all about following the money. Because if you didn't, guess what?  Now, let's talk about something that's called iceberg orders. Big block orders, we call them here at Cybertrain University, iceberg orders. Everybody's always concerned what's on the top. They don't realize it's how big it's on the bottom and that's what everybody's looking at. They're looking at the top level but they're never looking below and don't realize it that there are big buyers and big sellers not too far away from you, maybe all the way down. But if you don't know where they are and it gets there, guess what? They work too well for the Titanic. Now, did I lose anybody yet? Did I lose anyone? Good, good. Patrick, Victor, no? Okay, good. Carlos, you're not lost? All right, Barry, what about you? I didn't hear from you.  Listen, I am here not for me, I'm here for you, okay?  And you're gonna be so ticked off at yourself, but then you might be relieved and be like, I knew there was a secret behind trading. Why did I stop? Why did I do it this way? Now it makes sense. And that's what my goal is because just a little education is dangerous, but the right education is gonna make you do this as a career. Let's go jump over here to level four.  Level four is going to show you, now listen to me carefully because hope I don't lose you here. There are different exchanges, Chicago exchange, New York stock exchange, the NASAC exchange, ICE exchange, Morgan Stanley. We were just looking at one exchange, but you know, there are other people that will only play in New York. There are other people that might play in the Chicago. Some people play in the Philadelphia, whatever it is. There are different exchanges. This system is going to aggregate all these exchanges under one system and it's gonna put it in a heat map and it's gonna let us know how long they've been out there for, are they getting executed, everything. So this is really cool. So we're looking at right here, we're looking at a stock and you can see it's trending down right here. You see it's trending down, all right? Down, down, down. And these are buyers, all right? Buyers, buyers. Now you can see right here how the stock went from $13, went all the way down to 1050. Why did the stock come down so fast? Well, if you notice right here, a 970,000 share seller came out. Once that guy came out, then just came crashing down. Came crashing down. This is not a hundred shares, it's not 2,000, 5,000. You're talking over $13 million worth of stock. That's still gonna be sold right there, all right? And not only did it go to 13, and it didn't go down, it still went lower and the guy lowered his offer from 13 down to 12 because nobody wanted to buy it. So what he's doing is he keeps pushing it down and pushing it down. So after being out there for two hours, no one wanted to buy a million dollars worth of stock, he decided from 12 to one, to lower his offer down to $12. From $12, no one wanted to buy it, boom, it dropped down to 1060, okay? Now, if you didn't see that big iceberg order out there, if you didn't see that and you held on like every other sucker at 13 and like, maybe it'll come back, maybe it's the bottom, okay? Well, guess what? It didn't come back, it didn't come back. Now, guess what it is? I'm gonna show you, Snapchat. It's basically what we're looking at, okay? And not only that, where that buyer showed up, he ended up getting executed. And that was the reason why it came down. It was another, actually, I'm sorry, it was another stock. This was another one, but here's the other one. Buyer came out there, boom, got executed, it dropped.  Now, my question to you is this, did it indicate or tell you that? Did a MACD tell you that? The RSI, the shank and money flow, the bull is your band, the MACD? I mean, I don't know, could you read this thing? I mean, it's, people telling me like, oh wow, it makes perfect sense, I get it, oh wow, the problem what you're looking at right here, this is predicated on what happened in the past. It's not indicative of the future. I'm not showing you the past, I'm teaching you the future. How many of you here wanna learn the future? Well, this is the future, following the orders, not worrying about, oh, because these things are basically invented by mathematicians, I don't know if you know that, all right? And you know what's crazy, they're always right, they're always right, but by the time you buy it, it's usually too late. So what do we do? Follow the orders, that's all you have to do. If you follow the orders, you'll make smarter and better trading decisions. So, did I lose anybody? Did I lose anybody? So my question to you is this, what did you learn so far? For being here for, I don't know, 30, 40 minutes, what'd you learn so far? Thank you, Michael, thank you, follow the money. Get level three, okay, anyone else? I need help, keep talking, okay, I love that one. How prices go up and go down, Charlie? Learning book viewer, okay. Can you get level four, absolutely you can. And I'm gonna show you how to get it when I invite you into the trading room. Yes, you can use this for futures also. Level four has the futures and cryptocurrency, absolutely. So when it comes to trading, everybody, you have to understand something. It's not really that complicated. The hardest part about teaching people how to trade is more the psychology part of it, the discipline part of it.  That's just human nature. But when you keep seeing it's over and over and over and over again, you're gonna get it. I'll give you an example. Pinterest today, okay. I wanna show you something. This is Pinterest, all right. Pinterest had a buyer right here for about 82,000 shares. Everybody see that right there? This was around 9.30 this morning, okay.  And you could see Pinterest actually went up from 1750 and went right up to about 1780. Now, it tested the guy down again. You see this little red ball right here? I don't know if you could see that where it says volume. 434,000 shares got executed. That's how big that order was. 437,000, look how bright red. And once that buyer got done, which was a pretty substantial support level, that stock went from 1750 all the way down in a matter of 45 minutes down to 1625. What a phenomenal short, right? You don't even hear like, oh, I know Pinterest, it was at $80, I'm holding it. It's gotta come back, I love the company. You know what, if you love it at 80, you gotta be drooling over here at 16.  Well, you know what, when you have big buyers out there and they're supposed to be your support levels and they're getting executed, bye-bye, okay? Bye-bye, because that's why it went down. It's all about following the orders and seeing where the people are. Also, can you explain the red color and the green color merged together? You mean the balls? The balls actually mean, green means transactions are on the ask, red means transaction on the bid, but that's not important right now for you, okay? Right now, basically what you have to understand is there are buyers and sellers out there and you're not watching them. They're out there, they do shakes, they do reverse psychology and you're not watching them because you're too focused on the past, you're too focused on support levels, you're too focused on resistance, but you can't have those support resistance without those buyers and sellers out there. All right, let me just move this over here. Now, who here wants to watch this live? Who here wants to watch this during the market hours?  Mark, do you wanna do it? Sheila, you wanna do it? You will like to, Charlie? Okay, because listen, trading is a phenomenal job.  I have a home living channel and you can watch it, I'm taking care of chickens, I'm making a garden, I have a cooking show, how do I have the time to do this? Because I only work 20, 30 minutes a day, it's not a full-time job. And by the way, who wants to go back to work? You have to go through COVID.   Hell, I'll move down to the suburbs. And people are like, wow, oh my God, I got air, I could walk around, I don't have to worry about people bumping and shooting me and getting robbed, you know what I mean? This is great. That's why New York City's not doing too well. And that's why here in the suburbs, like Long Island, everybody's doing it. Cause like, wow, it actually is not bad. But how am I going to be able to make money from the luxury of my home? Because I have to go where the companies are. Well, no, you don't, you could trade, but you've got to know how to play the game. And that's why Cybertree University has been endorsed by more brokerage firms than any other school in the industry. Now, like I said, there is no better time to watch and learn how to trade alongside our team. And that's what we want to do. So this is what I'm going to offer all of you. I want you to come to the original trading room, okay? Now, this is all online.  I started the first trading room, but I want you to come and I wanted you to watch our traders, okay? I don't want you to watch me or my other instructors. And you know, we don't like braggers. We don't talk about money. You know, we want to teach you how to figure out for yourself and we want you to find them because our job is to take you fishing, but you have to drop the pole and you've got to catch the fish. It's that old saying, feed someone the fish, you feed them for a day.  That's how it works. Now, in our trading room, this is what we're going to do. We're going to start our first live audio broadcast every single morning at 9 a.m. to 10 30. We go live audio trading the first hour and then we're going to trade the last hour and a half with live audio broadcast. In the middle of the day, we take a break. You can still train the middle of the day, but depending on if you're on West Coast, if you're overseas, East Coast, wherever it is, there's always going to be a time for you to be there that you could benefit from. Now, every Tuesday like today, we have traders talk. We're going to give you access to traders talk. We do Q and A workshops. You're going to get all this stuff. We're going to teach you how to find these things. We're going to analyze your trades, everything. This is all going to be online. It's all live because we, not like some other people, we do practice what we preach. Now, this is the deal, $9. That's all it's going to cost you right now is $9. Now, I've been doing this $9 deal for a long time and I'll tell you why. There are, I don't know, over a hundred people in here. Okay? A lot of you here, I don't know who you are, where you came from, okay? You could be a heckler, you could be a, you know, a competitor or maybe you could be stealing our ideas. I don't know. Maybe you just, you know, but all I know is this.  I lose money on that. That $9 is basically an application fee to tell me that you are who you say you are. That's basically it. Now, it's going to cost me hundreds of dollars just to get into the room. By the time you talk to my staff and do the workshops, I lose money. But the goal is this, I'm not here to lose because if trading is for you, then you're going to go out there and you're going to help me make money because if you get it, you're going to give good content in the room whenever you're there. And that's what the ultimate goal is. Now, as you guys are registering, our staff just posted the link. Click on that link, register right now. Just want to take a couple of poll questions that were given to me. First of all, the strategy is to work well in the volatile markets. This is all about volatile markets. You know, if you don't have volatility, there's no movement, you're not going to make anything. How much money do I need to start? $9, that's it. Don't worry about your brokerage account. Don't worry about, you only need $9 to get started. In today's times, it could be as expensive as a cup of coffee, okay? Now, here's what our students have been saying regarding about our trading.  Hell, talk to the traders in the room, okay? See why they have great things to say about Cybertrain University. Because we change people's lives. And I hope I could do the same for you. Listen, you've been doing this long enough, or maybe you're starting out. Why not learn the real truth about it? There's a reason why I'm a 12-time world champion. I beat every single school I went up against, okay? I actually should have been a 25-time world champion. Can't have the people that even show up because they're afraid to get embarrassed. But that's okay. But you need to go out there and now it's time for me to teach you that style of trading, how all Wall Street traders trade. That's what it's all about. Now, with that $9, this is what you're gonna get. You're gonna have access to the trading room. We're gonna teach you how to pre-market. We're gonna teach you how to after-market. You're gonna see us from 7.45 to 4.30.  You're gonna get Traders Talk Library. And as a bonus, right now, if you register for the first 20 people that sign up right now, I will personally give you a coaching class. Now, when's the last time the owner talked to you for a lousy $9? Now, I know it sounds too good to be true. I know some of you people paid thousands of dollars for something like this. And I could even talk to anybody on the phone other than just answer an email because they don't care about you. You see, I have an invested interest in my traders. If you succeed, okay, then you're gonna give good content in the room and we're gonna trade together. But if it's not for you, worst thing cost you is $9, I'll just give it back to you. You know, bottom line, is there a subscription after this? No, zero. We will not charge you like some other people out there, you know, and trick you into a subscription. We do not do that.  I don't need to screw me. Can't you into October, fracture my femur and take three hours to get. Well, listen, you know what, Sheila, register now, talk to education advisor, and when you're ready, just jump in when you're ready. Cause I don't know how long we're gonna keep this promo for, but you know what? Just lock it in and use it when you're ready to use it. Charlie says one question, which chat room is, I hope, not discord-based, which is full computer. No, it's not discord, no, no, no. This chat room is specifically designed for day trading. It's a custom made platform. It's browser-based, it's in our, listen, it's $9, don't worry about it, okay? It's $9, let our education advisors talk to you and they'll go through it. Just a couple of people registering right now. I'd like to thank, who do we got here? Yari, I just got your registration. Mike Milton, just got your registration. Richard got your registration. Now guys, remember fellow traders, when you register, very important that there's gonna be a questionnaire, there's gonna be five questions. Please answer them, tell us about you. Have you taken training? Who was your broker?  Just very simple questions to let us know. You help us, we could help you better, okay? No problem, Charlie, no problem. Listen, if you're a newbie, I'd rather be, what's nice about a newbie is you have no bad habits. That's one of the good things that you're gonna get out of it, all right? Any other questions? When could I start? Well, you can't get into the trading room until you activate it. We don't want you to just go into the trading room because you'll be really lost. You'll be like, you're not gonna know what's going on. You're gonna see people talking and trading. So you're all gonna have to have a walkthrough with one of our education advisors. They're gonna tell you what to look at, make sure you watch these little tutorials, tutorials that would give you. So when you go into the room, you won't feel like it's moving too fast. You won't feel like you're not understanding what's going on. You're gonna basically have a seat on the exchange of a floor. This is exactly how we kind of treat it.  We say this stock, this was pretty cool. Did you guys see BTTX today? That was a nice stock, this one. Nice little mover, 930 this morning, ran from $1.40 all the way to 230. Nice big move right there. Nice big move. You can see right here, first hour, last hour. That's what we do. No problem. Good to see you Sheila, just register and I'll see you then. Does level three and level four cover an OTC stock? Only certain ones Richard. But we don't trade penny stocks or bulletin board stocks. Not that I have anything against them. It's just that I don't, it's hard to see the orders. You know what I mean? You can't get level three and level four with them. All right. Couple of people just registering. Couple of more shout outs. Who else we got here? Bryce has got your registration. Welcome aboard. Mike got your registration. Peter, thank you very much. Look forward to $9. It's nine. Think about how much you've learned being in this room for free. Could you imagine being there for a week and seeing it live in the market?  You know what? What's the worst thing that could happen to you? Find out trading's not for you? Because when I talk to you and I show you what's going on, I will be extremely honest with you and tell you if it's worth your time or not. All right? But you got to make the time make the investment. You know, it's like people want to lose weight. Who here wants to lose weight? When you're on the 17th diet, then you're going to realize, you know how you lose weight?  Oh, but that costs money. You know what? How do you think the actors do it? Like, my God, why all those actors have such great bodies and good shape? Not because it's genetics.  And you know what? That's what we do, because you know you want to do this and the only way to be successful at it is to surround yourself with good gurus, good mentors, and a good team. So go take the $9 register right now and I'll see you there first thing in the morning. All right? I think that's about it. I see a few more registering. We'll cover those people later. Just showing I just got your registration. I didn't see yours, Sheila, yet, okay? I didn't see you come in yet. Kind of just got your registration. No problem. Thank you very much. I appreciate you guys for being here and I thank you for all your help. But listen, I can't help you if you can't help yourself. You know what I mean?  You might see a, you know, listen, unfortunately catastrophes make opportunities. I've been through 9-11, I've been through the financial crisis, I've been everything. You obviously, most of you have just been through the virus crash, right? Wouldn't it be nice to wish you bought the market when it was at $18,000 and went back to $37, how much money you would have made? Well, there's gonna be opportunities again, but you gotta know what happens over the course of the day to be good as an investor and a swing trader. Trying to register a phone, not answering. Okay, well, if there's nobody there answering it, the phone will probably be busy, just better yet, Kurt, just go online. It's a lot easier and a lot quicker to do it over, do it over the internet, all right? We kind of made it very flawless. Who else I got here? Gerard just got your registration, welcome aboard. All right? Any other questions before we go fellow traders? I got my cats are harassing me, they wanna eat. They know what time it is. Visa said it went through, but I didn't get confirmation yet. All right, so if anyone is having any problems, just, you know, you could always email me, but you shouldn't have any problems. T-T-U-C-O-R-P dot com. And you know what, take my email too. If you have any questions regarding about, you know, futures, someone who could teach you futures or options or, you know, how do you get level four for, you know, Forex, whatever it is, I mean, for crypto, whatever, just send me an email. I don't hold things back. I don't hold things back because you know what? I feel that once you know the truth and you find out if it's for you, fabulous. But if you do in something and see it doesn't work out, no problem, maybe you'll come back to us and maybe give us a try. All right, so anyway, everybody, thanks for watching, grateful listening. I look forward to teaching all of you and hopefully you do the $9 promo. Hopefully you'll learn about level three and level four. And, you know, like I said, I look to see you on month, see you tomorrow, right at Memorial Day. Same thing for you, Silver, thank you very much. You too, also have a wonderful Memorial Day. And once again, thank you very, very much to all our servicemen for keeping us safe here. We all look forward to you. And actually that's the next thing I need to do.  Thanks everybody. See you all in the training room.


Okay, so as a PostgreSQL user, have you ever been wondering about how to make the world the single point of failure of your infrastructure? So whether it's private, public, hybrid, multi-cloud, you're probably wondering which one to use. And then how can you mitigate the risk of vendor lock-in? So hi everyone, I'm Gabriele Bartolini. And today I'll try and help you answer these questions by sharing with you the unparalleled range of possibilities and freedom that the open source trio made of Kubernetes, Postgres, and CloudNet FPG offer. So before we dive in, allow me to introduce myself. I'm a seasoned open source programmer and former entrepreneur. And I'm deeply passionate about databases and data warehousing. My journey with Postgres started in the early 2000. And now I'm a vice president of Cloud Native at EDB, one of the major contributors of the open source Postgres project. It's data on Kubernetes ambassador. So I'm really happy to be here today. And I'm proud to advocate for the seamless integration of stateful workloads in Kubernetes. So my mission is to spread the message that running Postgres in Kubernetes is not only efficient, but often superior to traditional VMs or bare metal setups. And then I'm all about lean and DevOps. So I've been practicing these two disciplines for many, many years. And they're actually the reason why I'm into Kubernetes. And who knows, they might be the reason to go away from Kubernetes one day. And then I'm one of the people behind two open source projects in the Postgres ecosystem. One is Barman, which is a popular open source project. And the other one is Cloud Native PG, the topic for today. If you want to talk with me, I'm available until Friday evening. So we've got a booth, come and join me and also the other developers of Cloud Native PG, if you have questions. And I'm also speaking about vertical scalability of Postgres databases in Kubernetes with Gary Singh from Google Cloud Thursday afternoon. So today agenda includes exploring the potential of Cloud Native PG and Kubernetes when managing Postgres high availability and disaster recovery. And then we'll delve into recommended architectures and strategy followed by the conclusions of this presentation. So before we begin, I don't wanna waste too much time, but it's just to remind, I think everyone knows what Postgres is. Postgres was also voted database of the year very recently despite its age, it keeps improving and it keeps renovating itself. And PG Vector, for example, or other extensions around Victoria databases are one of the areas that are growing more and more in Postgres these days. If you want to know more, I'm suggesting now two blog articles. This is about the microservice database pattern. If you're interested, it also explains why and all the journey we did that led us here. With this project. And the other one is about the recommended architectures for Postgres in Kubernetes. It's a blog that I wrote for the CNCF website. So let's start with Postgres and the high availability. So Cloud Native PG is basically a level five Kubernetes operator that seamlessly manages Postgres clusters for high availability primarily throughout the entire operational life cycle from day zero to day two. It's production ready and it's widely embraced by top tier database as a service solutions like BigAnimal from EDB, IBM CloudPak, Google Cloud and Tenbo. As an open source project, it's available under the Apache license and it was originated in 2019 by my team when I was part of second quadrant which was later acquired by EDB. And Cloud Native PG made a significant leap in 2022 in May before CubeCon Valencia. When EDB contributed the project to an open source and vendor neutral community that is openly governed the Cloud Native PG community, that you are more than welcome to join. And Cloud Native PG was acknowledged the most popular operator for Postgres in 2023 according to a time scale survey. And it's rapidly gaining traction with over 3,000 stars in less than two years in GitHub. Anyway, given our time constraints, I'll refrain from covering basic instructions and commands today. And for deeper insights, please find the documentation and all the information available from the website. And again, if you want, stop me. I think it's more important we use these 20 some minutes to talk, to trigger questions and to talk about possibilities, okay? So we will talk about building blocks that will give you unprecedented, in my opinion, possibilities around Postgres. So I will briefly mention these four pillars. They actually been defined by Patrick McFadden and Jeff Capenter in their book about Cloud Native Databases. So Cloud Native PG leverages the Kubernetes API. So we kind of extend the Kubernetes controller teaching how to manage a Postgres cluster through the operator pattern, okay? So then the second one is declarative configuration. That through it, we can deploy scale and maintain databases that sell field and also implement infrastructure as code practices. Third one is about observability. We have a native Prometheus exporter. We log to standard output in JSON natively so you can pretty much integrate it with everything. We have a Grafana dashboard and so on. Finally, the security by default paradigm. Again, read the article about the microservice database in which I explain this kind of security by default concept where the database is owned by the application developer, not the administrators. So developers own the database and they can put it in their pipelines. And then with security by default, we start from actual code writing. Then we also, how we build the containers, how we scan the images, and then also in the container itself with Postgres majors and also Kubernetes majors. For example, we have MTLS by default. So we, and we actually advocate for certificate-based authentication, okay? Everything I'll show you today is achieved declaratively unless I say that. There's only one thing that at the moment needs to be done manually and we'll see it. This is how we implement a Postgres cluster in Kubernetes with Clonet-FPG. I think the simplicity is what strikes out here. This pretty much highlights the convention of a configuration paradigm that we implement with our declarative configuration approach. And so you don't have to specify all the parameters, but you can actually modify all of them. Because we make opinionated decisions about the defaults. So, for example, in this YAML file here, we request Clonet-FPG to create one primary and two replicas, so three instances, and one of them to be synchronous. This means that every time the application starts a transaction and writes commit, the primary doesn't return to the application until the commit is written on disk on at least another standby. We can also change these and ensure that not only that it's written, but it's also replayed on the standby so that we can pretty much perform a read-only query later and it's consistent in the entire cluster. That means you slow down the entire write process, but you have pretty much less probability of data loss and faster RTO. Anyway, all of these is configurable, all of these is Postgres, okay? So that's the beauty, I think, of open source in general, whether it's Kubernetes or Postgres, is that it's all about you, all about us. So this is what happens under the hood. So suppose you've got a Kubernetes cluster with three availability zones and our worker nodes. I forgot to say that here, I request to place the instances on nodes where we've got the workload Postgres label, okay? So basically here we have three worker nodes with the Postgres label. So the operator pretty much places the instances only on those workers. We can choose different affinity settings. It's all there. Then we start writing the volumes. That's where we start. The volumes are the most important part in Postgres. We start with the PGdata, which is the Postgresdata where all the database files are stored and the whole files are the transaction files. So that's how we achieve data durability with Postgres. Then the primary started and the operator creates a read write service automatically. So that your applications or your AI workloads can connect directly to it. Then it automatically creates clones there, the primary and creates the first replica, which is synchronous and the second one. All in streaming replication. So we don't use the storage replication. We just rely on Postgres replication which can be controlled at transaction level. And then we create the read-only service. So if you want to perform read operations, you can use the stand-bys. So let's see what happens in case of failover. The whole, for example, the worker, know where the primary is as a failure. Kubernetes immediately detects that. The operator stops the read write service. So we've got the downtime. This operation is very fast. Normally a few seconds, you can try it yourself. And the service, the synchronous stand-by is promoted and the service is updated. And then when the worker node comes back again, our instance manager actually stops that. So that's how we prevent split brains from happening and says, you think you are the primary but you're not. So it demotes itself and re-synchronize it as a stand-by and the service is updated. Let's talk about backup and recovery. So by the way, if you want to hear the whole story, that's my talk with Michelao from Google in which we cover disaster recovery of very large databases with Postgres in Chicago. And we basically recovered a 4.5 terabyte database in two minutes, thanks to volume snapshots. There's the whole story, but briefly, continuous backup is achieved in two ways with the wall archive. So we basically copy the wall files in another location. At the moment, we only support object stores. And by default, they are stored every five minutes in the wall archive. Okay, so that means that your RPO is maximum five minutes by default if you've got backup in place. The other part are physical-based backups. So you can take physical-based backups which is a Postgres technology. From either the primary or the stand-by, you can choose the target by default is the stand-by. They can be scheduled or on demand and they can be on object stores and they're only hot, so online backups, or on Kubernetes volume snapshots and they can be both hot or cold, so meaning that they are consistent and they don't require wall files to be restored. And you can exploit the storage class capabilities in terms of transparent incremental and differential backup. We are also working on an interface through which you can pretty much write your own backup scripts, backup tools, and extend it. This is how Continuous Backup works. You've got a cluster. So it's done a cluster level, not an instance level. We copy the wall files in the wall archive and then we take base backups to build a catalog of backups. This is how we have Continuous Backup. Recovery is essentially a bootstrap method. So we copy the physical base backup somewhere and then we start reapplying the redo logs from the wall files. And until we reach a target. The target can be the full recovery, so until the end. And if we do that, that's actually, that's also the foundation of Continuous Replication, Continuous Recovery. So you can create what we call replica clusters that could be pretty much aligned or even delayed. Or if you selected a target, you can get point-in-time recovery. When the target is reached, by default, Postgres promotes itself. So it becomes another cluster. This cluster you can use it also for reporting. So for example, every day you can recreate a Postgres cluster just for development or reporting and destroy it at the end of the day. On the same technology, we build the replica cluster. The replica cluster is primarily used for DR, but also for recovery, for reporting. And it's essentially the same technology instead of promoting the Postgres cluster, we keep it in Continuous Recovery. And we can perform read-only queries on those servers. So think about that, you've got this replica cluster and another region is continuously replicating and I can promote it if needed. So we've seen now a single Kubernetes cluster, let's go beyond the single Kubernetes cluster which is our single point of failure. We've got Postgres with its backup. We can use in a different cluster simply the wall files, the wall archive. So we think about that, we create a replica cluster in another Kubernetes cluster from a backup and then we start replaying the wall files from the object store. We don't even need the connection between the two servers just by using wall files. It's pretty much lagging five minutes by default without doing anything. If you want, the other interesting thing is that if you want, you can set up the backup in the other region and you have two independent backups architecturally in place. And if you want to reduce the RPO, you create a streaming replication connection between the two clusters. So that's simple, right? So all building blocks, you build on top, okay? You don't have to get there immediately but you can get there. Starting from this, this is normally the development cluster. You can do it like you do in production with three instances or you can even use one single instance and remember to disable pod disruption budgets. Otherwise, the node where these instances placed will not be drained, okay? And then if you want, you can create your continuous backup infrastructure. So this is how it looks, a production cluster in a Kubernetes cluster with at least three availability zone that gives you very little RTO. So in case of failure of the primary, in a few seconds you're up without doing anything. And then at the same time gives you RPO five minutes which with the cloud native PG interface we are aiming to reduce to zero. So all you have to do, you have the wall archive. The wall archive can also be used as a fallback in case the streaming replication between the primary and the standby goes down temporarily. You have a dual channel for resilience. And then you build your catalog of base backups. So we've seen one single cluster, all good. You don't have to do anything. Kubernetes can do self-feeling and HA with cloud native PG without you doing anything except monitoring and receiving alerts. Let's extend the architecture on two Kubernetes clusters. Normally, we can also think about them in terms of regions. And we have pretty much an identical Kubernetes cluster in another region, let's say. We use the base backup to create the PVC and the wall archive to build what we call designated primary. It's basically a standby that is ready to be promoted in case the first data center, the first Kubernetes cluster goes down. Then you create the local wall archive and the catalog of backups. So you are already ready in case there's a disaster to assume the role of primary cluster. And then if you want, you can even immediately or later when it's promoted, create the replicas. That's entirely up to you. And if you want to reduce the RPO, you can set up the streaming connection. And this is the only manual thing you need to do at the moment and probably, let's not say manual control, because what we are aiming to do is to define a declarative way to perform this operation across clusters, okay? You have the whole region is down. So this should be treated as a rare event, okay? But if that happens, all you have to do, so probably you have lost maximum five minutes of data, but we're talking about a massive disaster and you can quickly make that become the primary, okay? You can even go beyond that. You can use cascading replication and go with three, four, five regions. It's really up to you, okay? These are all building blocks. The only problem is when you have a single availability zone Kubernetes cluster, which is very typical from what I see in on-premise setups where still the lift and shift mindset is prevalent. So you're mapping pretty much one data center with one Kubernetes cluster. So all you have to do here is spread the database across nodes and storage. So divide as much as you can, but still your data center is the single point of failure. You're missing out on Kubernetes a lot. And what that generates is more complex business continuity procedures like we used to do and you could stop doing them with Kubernetes if you had three availability zones, at least for Postgres. You have to do them and you have to do more of them with the more applications you have. For each application you need to have business continuity procedures that you could avoid. So my advice is if you have two data centers try and push for a stretch Kubernetes clusters so at least extend the Kubernetes control plane over three data centers somehow and plan for the third data center. So this is the end. I want to thank all the community of CloudNet APG starting from some of the developers are here but really the adopters and everyone that is contributed to this growing community. What we're working on, the image catalog. So for example, there's people that want to use time scale with our operator or other extensions. You can write your own image catalog and just point to that without specifying the image name. The generic interface that I was talking about before will allow us to pretty much simplify the work of the operator through external plugins. So primarily we'll manage backup metrics and logging. We want to control the switch over across Kubernetes clusters with the replica cluster switch over. We also want to introduce synchronous replica clusters for those that have two data centers in the same city and two Kubernetes clusters. The only way for them to talk is through replica clusters. And we can add the synchronous one. Declarative management of databases. Databases are the only global object that we are missing with CloudNet APG. And then logical replication, publication and subscriptions. By the way, we have an imperative way already to set up logical replication publications and subscriptions and also update the sequences. We released it last week. So theoretically you can move already from any PostGestin database in the world into CloudNet APG following three steps with the plugin. If you want to talk, we can talk more. Foreign servers and also storage auto scaling with DOK. We are working on that. So ultimately choose whatever works for your organization. So every organization is unique. Don't believe to those that tell you that all organizations are the same. Define your goals, RTO, RPO, TPS and let you be guided by them. And on Thursday I'll show you some amazing results in terms of TPS that you can achieve. We're working with storage companies to, you know, this new frontier. Meet to get the risk of vendor looking at all levels from the cloud down to the infrastructure level. And, you know, set it on on-prem, private, public, hybrid, multi-cloud. You can do pretty much everything with vanilla Kubernetes, third-party Kubernetes distributions, bare metal VM, and choose the right storage for you. Our advice is to go with shared nothing architectures and to take advantage of nodes and availability zones that, as I said, come from free with Kubernetes. So I hope that I gave you an idea on how you can make the world be the single point of failure for your Postgres databases thanks to Kubernetes. Now I've been using Postgres for many years and I really believe that the best way to run Postgres is in Kubernetes. Okay. Finally, this is my last slide. You know, it's completely off topic. This is a great book. And all, I don't know if you know this book. Anyone who's read this book from Gene Kim, Steven Spear? This book is basically, in my opinion, tremendous opportunity for Kubernetes to shine as a way to move from danger zone to winning zone through slowification and simplification. Okay, so if you have time, I suggest you read that book. And come and meet me at both G30 and around here. So I'm done. Thank you.


The reason why narcissists are so cold. The reason why they are so unemotional and friendly and welcoming and unsympathetic. The reason why they are so controlled restrained and inhospitable. The reason why narcissists are so cold is actually very simple. They are cold because they are lacking warmth. They were brought up in an environment where there was no love, where there was no fondness or tenderness. Where there was no feeling of concern, gentle affection or warmth. That was something that they didn't get to experience in their childhood. That was something that they didn't learn. So they grew up to become these cold hearted people who are lacking affection and warmth. They grew up to become unfeeling and loving and caring and sympathetic and emotional.  They never learned that that is an essential part of a relationship. They might have been spoiled in their childhood. They might have overindulged in material things but no one ever tried to connect with them on an emotional level. No one really took an interest in them. So they grew up believing that none of that really matters. They grew up believing that image and reputation is more important. They focus on superficial things, things that only exist on the surface. Because they learned that that's what gets them attention. The narcissists will always be cold. They will always lack affection and warmth. No matter what you do for them. No matter how you treat them. No matter how much you give to them. Because that is the dynamic that they have experienced in their childhood. They were taught that they are unlovable. They want love. They want to experience an intense feeling of deep affection. But that idea of love is very different to what yours might be. You may have learned that love is unconditional. Love is about acceptance. Or anything for the person you love. You believe in them. But for the narcissist, love is more about what you can do for them. To them love is about how you can improve their lives. Or make them feel better about themselves. The idea of love is very selfish. Narcissists only seek out people. Who they can use to meet their own needs. There is no need for love. That would only get in the way of them getting what they want. Their disorder is designed to help them survive emotionally. So it has to block and deny love to protect them. It has to block and deny love. To ensure that they always get their needs met. Sometimes it may seem as though the narcissist loves and cares about you. But it isn't real. Narcissists can be very manipulative. They know what you want to see. They know what you want to hear. They've studied people and movies. To see how they're supposed to act in a relationship. How they're supposed to display kindness and affection. But it's not coming from a real place inside of them. They are only doing it to get what they want from you. And you will notice this when you have an argument with them. They will always bring up everything they did for you. As though they only did it. Because they were expecting something in return. Nothing a narcissist does is for free. They are always expecting to profit at your expense. And you will find that whenever you are around a narcissist. You will always get the short end of the stick. Even while they are playing the victim. The longer you spend around them. The more demanding. And the more colder they will become. They will never be happy. They will never be satisfied. You are dealing with a bottomless bucket. That can never be filled. And you will only run yourself into the ground. Trying to please them. Thank you for watching. I hope this video resonates with you. Please like, comment, share and subscribe.
