So, I've not always been a very big fan of the GNOME desktop environment. I've talked many times about the things that I find wrong with it, and it really just doesn't really fit my workflow. I'm a tiling window manager guy, and it's always been a hassle to enable tiling with inside of GNOME. Now, over the years, there have been many tries to make tiling work inside of GNOME, and they've all been kind of met. The pop shell thing is probably the closest to being good, but it has its limitations, right? And while I liked the material shell stuff, it was okay, but it was very early days when I tried it. And I don't really know if it's even gotten better since then. But to be honest with you, GNOME has never really been my cup of tea simply because it has not been as easy to make it fit my workflow as I would like it to be. Now, obviously, we're not here to talk about the deficiencies in GNOME or my opinions on it. Today, we're going to be actually to be taking a look at an extension that tries to make tiling better inside of the GNOME desktop environment, and it's called Forge. So Forge is, like I said, a GNOME extension. And one of the deficiencies of the other tiling extensions that I've looked at previously is that they all had customization issues. So a couple of them would not let you edit key bindings. So you were pretty much stuck with whatever the key bindings were out of the box. You couldn't change them. Others were very, very buggy. So Forge aims to make that situation better while allowing you to have access to more customization tools and just an overall better tiling experience. So that's what we're going to be taking a look at today. Before we jump in, if you'd leave a thumbs up on this video, I'd really appreciate it. It really does help the channel. So let's go ahead and hop into GNOME. And you guys can see what this looks like. So this is GNOME running on NixOS. And so far, I'll have to say that I really enjoy this extension. It's not perfect by any means, and we'll talk about some of the things where it fails. But once you have it installed, and you can install this in the traditional GNOME extensions way, I installed it using the extensions manager. So if you go into the extensions manager, which you can get via flat pack, and you go to browse and just search for Forge, the search in the extensions manager is absolutely horrible. It doesn't even come close to being by relevance. But once you actually find it, it'll be actually literally at the bottom. You can just install it, and then it will be enabled just like so. And just like with any other tiling extension or tiling window manager, it has a set layout. This is it is mimicking a dynamic tiling window manager and that it has that set layout. It's not manual. But it does some weird things where with window placement. So if you have this window in focus and then you open up a new window, it will open up below here instead of at the bottom of the stack. So where the next window spawns is going to be very determined by the window that is in focus. If I have this window in focus and hit enter, or open up another terminal, it looks like this. If I have this window in focus and then do this, it opens up there, right? If I close some of these, and then open up a whole bunch more, then it looks like a kind of like a BS PWM type layout. I believe they call this the Fibonacci layout. And what layout you choose is fine. Just know that if you're going to use this, the layout is is going to be determined by which window has the focus. And you can tell which focus is by the border that it has. Now you can change that border. We'll talk about that here in a few minutes. But the focus is determined by where the border is. So that's the overall layout and that's how it functions. And like with other tiling extensions inside of GNOME, you can use the mouse. So this is not meant to be 100% for those who abandon the mouse. You can drag and drop different windows inside of the stack. And then it will resize everything that's in the stack, which is nice. So if I wanted to take this one up, I could do that. Or if I wanted to go back down, what have you, right? So you could do that. You can also go to a client here, drag it, and you can either put it into a different place, or you can put it on top of one of the others, and it will actually, oops, that thing quite work. It will actually create a tab system. So you can have tabs similar to what you'd find in i3, which is nice. So if you wanted to have a couple full screen apps, or if you wanted to take these back and put it side by side, honestly, I'm not quite sure where those other windows went. I think, oh, there they are right there. And then where Firefox goes. So sometimes things are a little weird, and you're not sure where they are. So if I hit super here, and actually it looks like Firefox is completely closed, which is not what I wanted it to do. But I think that's actually meant as the way it's supposed to work. So when I hit that red X up there at the top, it actually closed Firefox instead of just closing the tab and taking you out of tab mode. So if I wanted to tab this just the side, I could do that. So I have tabs over here, and then I still have the stack over here. So you can use the mouse as much as you want. You can have the tabs, or you can have the stack, whichever you want, or you can have a combination thereof. That's really cool and really nice and works fairly well. Although like I said, that red button up there that red X apparently is not for taking you out of the the tab mode. It's actually going to close the application like I just found out. So that's the general way this works. So you can either use the key bindings, which I'll show you more of those here in a second, or you can use your mouse to kind of navigate and place windows wherever you want while staying inside of either the stack mode or the tab mode, which is it works fairly well. Let's go ahead and close some of these, and then I will show you the setting. So let me actually close this as well. So we will actually open that back up just that we have some tiling. And we'll go up here to this. Now when you install this extension, you get a new icon up there at the top in the quick settings panel, and you can hit tiling here, and you can turn it on or off, or you can hit this button here and actually have access to a couple quick settings. So gaps hidden when single. So if I turn this off, we'll actually see gaps come back while there's just one window, or I can turn that back on and the gaps go away. Another thing to show focus hit border basically what that does is it shows a border where the focus is. And honestly, you're going to want that because remember that the focus determines where the next window is going to spawn. And if you don't have the border on, and you don't know which window is in focus, you may not know where that window is going to spawn. So you probably don't want to leave that on, but you can turn it off if you want to. So let's go ahead and actually open up the settings here. Now, here's the thing. Forge does not have rules in the traditional sense. Now there is a configuration file, I'm not going to jump into it because most people who want to do this are going to want to only configure this with inside of the GUI. So we're not going to worry about the configuration file. That's a JSON file. I'm not sure if it's created automatically or not. If we go to the GitHub page here, and then we move this actually over to the side. You can see that there is a configuration file if you scroll down here far enough you can mess around with window overrides and some of the style sheet stuff inside of the configuration files that they have. But it's all meant to be configured inside of this panel here. Now, the reason why I mentioned rules is because there's no explicit place here in the settings to mess around with rules. Instead, the way they want you to do it is with your key bindings instead. So if you see one of these here that's listed here, it's the one called, let me see if I can find it. Actually, it doesn't look like they have it listed on their GitHub page. So if we take a look at the window shortcuts here, the only rule that they really have, and you'll know this because it says always on it is if you scroll all the way down here to window toggle always float. So Super Shift C, basically what that does is when you do that on a application. So like so if you do Super Shift C, it's going to make that a floating window. And if we close Firefox and then open it back up, it will remain floating until the next time we hit Super Shift C. So if we have Super Shift C, then it goes back into tiling mode. And then every time you open up Firefox, it will go back into whatever mode it was in last. That's the only rule that I found here. And it's not really a rule. It's again, it's a key binding that sets a rule, which is an interesting way of doing things, but it doesn't allow you to have full control. So say for example, you wanted to set it so that Firefox was floating on Workspace 2, but not on Workspace 1. That's something that you could do in a traditional window manager. Here you can't do it, which is disappointing, but again, not a deal breaker by any means. So the one thing that I do like about this extension though, compared to some of the others that I've tried, is that every key binding that you have here is 100% editable. That means you can change them to whatever you want. If you want to use a different modifier key, you can do that. If you want to change away from using the Vim keys to move the focus, you could do that. If you wanted to change the key bindings to change the gap size, you can do that. All of the key bindings that it has, you can edit, which is just absolutely the way that you want to do it. Now, I will say that their default key bindings are not great. So let me see if I can find the ones that I wanted to point out there. So for example, the window swap last active here, I have it set control super return. And the reason why I have it set to that is because by default, it's super return. And I want to be able to hit super return to actually open up a terminal. That's what I'm used to doing. And they'll actually also have one here. If I can, if I can find it, yeah, it's right here. The suit, the window swap to third right control alt T. So a lot of people use control alt T. Like in a boot to or in, I think even regular vanilla genome has a setup. I don't really remember, but a lot of people use control T to open a terminal. But they have control T set as a key binding. Now, here's where it gets a little weird. Sometimes the system will allow fords to dictate the key binding. Sometimes it won't. And whether which way it goes really does depend on what you're trying to do. Or what that key binding is set as in the genome setting. So if it's set as something really important, it seems like there's some kind of tier list for importance of key bindings. If it's system level, the system level key binding is what's actually going to be followed. If it's not system level, sometimes the forge one will fall. Sometimes if you have conflicting key bindings, none of them will work at all. So probably my biggest complaint for forge is that they have some of these key bindings that are going to absolutely be duplicated in some distros versions of genome. And that's not great because then like if you use control alt T to open up a terminal normally and you have this here and those things are conflicting, it either might work or might not work or might not do what you expect it to do. So I understand that they kind of have a lot of key bindings here and they kind of probably ran out of the ones that they wanted to use, but it's still something that you should keep in mind. The good news is, like I said, you can edit all of them. So if you're finding some conflicts between the key bindings that you have set in genome and the forge application, you can edit them here or in the genome settings obviously and make sure that those don't conflict, which is good. So you can set another rule here, but it's not, again, very helpful unless you want to just turn tiling off on specific workspaces. So you can use the update workspace settings to make sure that the workspaces do not have tiling. So you could skip tiling on certain workspaces of hit two or zero, whatever you can put that here. That's basically the only workspace specific rule that you can actually set. And it's really the only rule rule that you can set that's not a key binding. Now, the other two panels here are for appearance. So you can change the gap size and the gap size multiplier. I don't understand the multiplier part. And now I understand how I can show you what it does, but I don't understand why it's there. So you can set the gaps. So you just increase the gaps. And then if you were to increase the multiplier, it actually double the gaps, which is, you know, or, you know, it'll multiply the gaps to that size. So really, we're just looking at 64 pixel gaps here at this point, right? I'm not sure why the gaps multiplier thing is there to be honest with you. Why not just have a settings for gap size? If I wanted to set 64 pixel gaps, I could just, you know, scroll up to 64 pixels. Oh, like, I guess that's probably the reason why I guess 32 is the maximum.  So the multiplier allows you to go higher than 32. So maybe there's a limit. They found some kind of technical limit to the gap size. So they allowed you to increase the gap size beyond that limit by having multiplier by having the multiplier. So that maybe that's the reason why they've done it. I'm not exactly sure. But it's there. Another thing you can do on this page is change the border colors. So you can change the border size here as well. And each of the you can change it for the floating and the split direction. So it's going to tell you where the splits going to happen, similar to what I3 does. So it's in this area here where you can do the customization of the colors. It doesn't have a lot of places where you, you know, need to do that. So it's really just the borders and the various border places. So if you're going to use borders, this is where you'd customize them. Basically that's what you'd find in a traditional window manager as well. Is the window manager itself is just going to control the colors of the border itself. Unless the tiny window manager has its own bar and then it usually gets more complex, right? The last one we'll actually look at is the settings panel here. And this is where we're going to talk about some of the limitations that it has beyond the things that I've talked about so far. You can have stacked and tabbed on at the same time, stacked windows on top of each other while still being tiled. Basically what this means is that you can have floating windows over ones that are tiled similar to what you're looking at here. But also it allows for situations where different applications don't really fit inside of the tiling mechanism to kind of overlap. So that's that. It also allows you to group tiles as tabs. You can actually turn that off. So if we turn that off, that means that when I drag things around, it's just going to stay in tiling mode. You no longer have the access to the tabs as you did before. So there are some specific tiling settings here that you can change and they use some weird language here. Just for example, the word toggle, right? Toggle doesn't make sense in this. So the preview hint toggle, I'm pretty sure they just left the word toggle in here. So what this should just be called is the preview hint. So when you drag a window over something, you can see it colors red here or blue if you're going full screen or into tabbed mode. So red is always, you can change these colors. Remember you can change those in the appearance settings. If you're going into stacked mode or into tiling mode with the window that you're dragging, it's going to be a certain color. And if it's going to be tabbed or it's going to be, you know, another color differently, right? And those previews are what this settings here for. So if we turn this off, we can see that when I do this, it doesn't give me any indication of what I'm doing. But the word toggle there doesn't make much sense. So that's one thing that I'm confused by. Another thing is that so the focus hint border, so that's going to be the border around thing you can turn that off if you want to. You can the default drag and drop center layout, you can change that from tab to stacked. You can change auto split so that you if it will, if we turn that off, we can actually see what that does. That basically just turns it more into a manual Tyler so that it just will continue to go vertically as much as it wants. And then if you change to a different with a key binding, you can change to having things split in the different the other direction. And that will, you know, it's more of a manual Tyler and that instead of a dynamic, which is nice that you can change this. We're going to close some of these and we'll turn that back on a float mode always on top. That just means that any windows will always be on top. And then you will see the show tiling quick settings. That means that you can take this away if you don't want that up there. If you're looking for a more minimal setup. So those are the settings. Now, the reason why I say that I'm going to talk about one of the things that is missing that I personally, I find essential.  I want the focus to follow the mouse. That's what I always wanted to do. I don't want to have to go to a window and then click that extra click annoys me. If I hover over it, I want it to work. Now, it's possible that in GNOME settings, you can change this. I know in KDE, you definitely can. Not sure if you can do it in GNOME. I'm not as familiar with GNOME as I'm with plasma. So that may be something that you can change elsewhere. But inside of the forward settings, you cannot as far as I can tell. That's honestly the biggest setting that I'm missing here. If that was here, this would actually be pretty good. To be honest with you, that's the one. That's like the biggest roadblock for me personally in using this. That of the sessions where I'm using GNOME, I would want that particular setting to be here, but it's not. So whether or not that's the same for you, it really depends on your workflow for me personally. It takes quite a while for me to remember that I have to click. You've got to remember, I'm so used to hovering over something in hand and having to follow the focus that hover. It's taken quite a while for me to remember that I have to click. So that's forged. To be honest with you, I really do like this. I think out of all the tiling extensions that they have here, or that I've tried over the course of the last few years, forge is the best one. And that's because it allows you a lot of customization when it comes to colors and more importantly, key bindings. And while I don't like the default key bindings that it has, the fact that you can change them kind of makes that point move because you can just change them so that you don't have any conflicting key bindings there. It does have quite a few settings that are that are nice to have. So you can change kind of between dynamic and manual tiling, which is nice. The one thing I do miss that focus follows mouse. So I wish I hope that they institute that later on. And I would also say that overall, it's not buggy. So a lot of these extensions, because GNOME is not meant for tiling at least not yet. A lot of them tend to crash a lot. They tend to have unexpected behaviors. I've been using forge for a couple of days now inside of this NixOS environment. And it works really, really well. It doesn't crash applications. Most of the stuff actually works. So if I actually show you here, one of the biggest things that you will have to see sometimes when you are using an extension like this, while that was a lot of words to say just a couple, but I'm very wordy today. I apologize for that. Anyways, one of the things that you'll notice inside of GNOME when you have one of these tiling extensions enabled is that when you open up certain applications, so for example, the settings application, it can't actually get smaller. Now, a lot of this has been helped by the introduction of GTK4 where they've done a lot of work at making these applications more responsive. Now, I will say is that because of a limitation of GTK, once it's in a certain place, the tiling no longer works. So this is not a forge problem, but you'll see this more often with older applications. So in the case of settings, it's not an older application. It actually does have a responsive mode and most of the newer GNOME apps do. But if you take a look, actually another example here is going to be Tilex itself. So Tilex is an application that is no longer updated, sadly. It's a fantastic terminal emulator, but it will only get so small in a certain area. So if we actually open up another terminal, we'll see that it begins to start to overlap. And that's just because it can't get any smaller than that. Now, honestly, no one's going to want an application that is that small anyways. But you can see the point. Older applications usually have a size limitation to what size they can dwindle down to. The settings application used to be a big one, like when Material Shell and Pop Shell first came out and before the settings application went to GTK for, the setting application wasn't responsive. So it would only get so small and when you were to try to tile into that space, it would actually just overlap everything and that would break the tiling experience. As more and more stuff is going to GTK for, less and less of that problem happens. So that has made this experience a lot better because you don't have that overlapping problem that you used to have as often. It still happens, as you can see with Tilex. That was just the application I had on hand to show you that happens. But it does happen from time to time. Just keep in mind that usually happens with a GTK3 application that can only get so small. The GTK4 ones seem to be able to get smaller or at least break things in terms of the tiling mechanism a little bit less. So that's good. Overall, like I said, really like the Forge extension. It does make GNOME a little more palatable for me because I like tiling. And if I'm going to use GNOME, I wanted to have a tiling mechanism and this works better. Now, I will say, just kind of as an offshoot, if you use other extensions, especially ones that mess around with the layout of GNOME, you're going to have some interesting times. Sometimes Forge and other extensions don't play well together. So for example, let me actually show you just one more time. You can see here that I have dash to dock enable. I have it on. And if I have Firefox in focus, the dash hides. But if I don't have it in focus, the panel shows up over Firefox. Now, not a big deal because it's not in focus, but it still looks weird, right? Because what I would like to have happen is have it automatically hide. Now, I think that in the dash to dock settings, I probably could set this up, but you can just see there's some little conflicts there where dash to panel doesn't really know what's going on because how could it? And you'll have certain extension, certain some things just don't work together the way that you'd expect them to do. It doesn't mean that they're broken. It just means that they kind of can't talk to each other, right? And the more extensions you use that kind of mess around with the interface of GNOME, the more problems like that you're probably going to come up with. And you'll, I actually, I probably wouldn't call them problems. It's just more hurdles you're going to have to kind of overcome to make everything look and function the way that you want it to. And you may end up having to sacrifice some of your extensions if they don't have the ability to customize past what you want them to do. So that is Forge. Again, it's very good. You should definitely check it out if you're a GNOME user. So that's it for this video. If you have any thoughts on the Forge extension or GNOME or whatever, you can leave those in the comment section below. I'd really appreciate that.

Do you want to know the best food item to sell in your ghost kitchen in 2021? An item that is proven to have high demands, good volume and high margins that all these big brands are all jumping into this trend. If you want to know make sure you guys keep watching. Hello friends, my name is Wilson, your friend in helping you build a thriving small business and a profitable food business. Out of curiosity, are you actually thinking about starting your brand in a ghost kitchen? Let me know. If you're like a lot of other foodie printers out there struggling to find an item to sell because of all the abundance of choices and noises out in the marketplace, and then you end up choosing an item that's just not making enough money and on top of that it's going to waste your time and resources. It is going to be a huge headache for you. And that's the reason why we're shooting this video for you. To show you and to tell you what is the number one item, the best item to sell for your ghost kitchen operation in 2021. Are you guys ready? If you guys are ready, I'm going to announce it right now. The best item to sell is chicken wings. So why chicken wings? First of all, it is because it is a staple food item. It is a staple food item that is known amongst all different cultures. Everyone loves chicken wings. And on top of that, with what's going on in the world right now, comfort food is definitely a must. And on top of that, when we're eating chicken wings, we could be eating chicken wings as our entree. We could be eating it as sides, or we could be sharing it with the family. That's the reason why this versatile item is so popular. Speaking of demand, it has high demands. According to National Purchase Diary, they reported in 2019, more than 900 million servings of wings were consumed in the United States. And National Chicken Council also said even with restaurant trips down 11% in 2020 because of the whole pandemic, wing sales, they actually jumped up 7%. The council reported in his annual wing report. Now, knowing these statistics is eye-opening and insightful. However, we must follow what the big brands are doing in order for us as smaller restaurants to be able to ride the wave. And the reason why we must follow these big brands is because they invest a lot of money into doing research and analysis to see what are the items and what are the opportunities in the marketplace that they can serve. And right now, they are investing very heavily into creating new wing brands. So then that way, they can fulfill the demand that is underserved. So if you are able to create a wing brand, you would be able to catch the coattails of these movements under these big brands. So then that way, you can be able to generate some money as well. For example, wing zones, they've seen their sales spike more than 25% from March 2020 to September 2020 compared to the year previously. And according to what their CEO Matt is saying, this has been the greatest sales search we have had in our 27-year history. And not only that, sales at a smaller location in New York City, Atomic Wings, they have seen more than 100% increase in some of their locations as well according to their CEO, Zach. If you guys enjoyed this video and find value in this video, make sure you guys smash the like button and let me know this is the type of content that you enjoyed. Now back to regular programming. While it is definitely not enough just to be able to see the sales impact of existing restaurant, it's more important to see what these big brands are actually doing moving forward to really validate that this is the best item for ghost kitchens in 2021. For example, let's check out Applebee's. According to their vice president of strategy, Scott, they said that at the Applebee's restaurant wings are a top selling menu item, especially for to go in 2020. And that's the reason why they decided to create another standalone brand called Cosmic Wings. And they have already reportedly been pulling in hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales every single week. Now, knowing the fact that this is a very highly in demand and validated product, we must understand the pricing for this item as well. Typically speaking for a pound of wholesale chicken wings, they sell for roughly $2.50. Now don't quote me on this. It really depends on the logistics and also the supply chain. But typically speaking, we're talking about 250 per pound, which yields around four to five wings, which brings a cost per wing to roughly 40 to 60 cents. What does that mean? That means you can start retelling your chicken wings at a retail price of roughly a dollar to $1.50 depending on your strategy. With this pricing structure, you're going to have at least 60 to 70% margins, which allows you to actually have pretty healthy margins. Now the caveat to this pricing is the fact that these items are very highly volatile. What do I mean by that? I mean that whenever there are major sporting events such as Superbowl, the prices for these wings goes up and skyrockets to $3 a pound to 350 a pound because of this huge influx in demand. So definitely understand that the prices of your wings are will be affected depending on the different events that are happening in the world. So for you, make sure that you have enough margins in your item so then that way you can account for these different events. Another caveat is that if you do decide to choose this as your item, make sure that you are not going in just like any other wing brands because at the end of the day, I shared with you, these big brands are putting in hundreds and thousands of dollars into creating their brands. And if you want to compete with them, you must differentiate. You must provide something that is a little bit more different, has some sort of edge. So then that way you can be one step ahead of these brands because for them, they are a big brand. It's hard for them to be nimble. It's hard for them to test and take risk. Whereas you as a small brand, you can test out, have different crazy flavors, have different textures and have different combos that would set you apart from everyone else. Now, the main takeaway for this video is to know that chicken wings is here to stay. It is definitely not a fact. The love and the demand for this item will stay for years to come. The only caveat is to know that you must account for the volatility of the prices and on top of that, to be able to differentiate yourself in order for you to actually be profitable. Now that you know wings is going to be a home one product, then the next question to ask is how do you get it started? How do you build that business foundation, knowing which obstacles to avoid, knowing what are the marketing strategies so then that way you can start to outbeat the big brands. How do you differentiate all this good stuff? We have a free masterclass that we're hosting in the link below. Definitely check it out. It is a completely free masterclass that is over an hour long of free training just for you. So then that way you are the most equipped to go and build that brand and to be profitable right away. I'll see you guys in that masterclass. Otherwise, I hope you enjoyed this video.

Good morning folks. Welcome to the April 24th, the magnificent Monday edition of today's Trader's Edge show. I'm your host, Steve Perseverance. Rhodes, who absolutely knows that each of us should always be pioneers of our future versus prisoners of our past. Hope everyone out there is having a great day. Let's make sure we have an extraordinary one and the easiest way to do that is to always remember that life is happening for us. Not to us. That's right. When you and I can make that one little two-by-four shift, well, it means we can find the gift in every set of circumstance that life is going to toss at us. Now today you and I, we're going to go check on the circumstance of these markets. We'll go figure out what those bulls and bears, what those buyers and sellers are communicating to you and I at just past 11 o'clock in the morning. I do want you to know I'm absolutely grateful for your presence here, but even more important than that. That's this during this next 53 minutes. I'm here to serve you. So feel free to pick up that phone and dial on in at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Now if you can't dial in and you've got a question, go ahead and send me the email. Rifle that off to Steve at TFNN.com and inside the subject heading, please put radio show question. Of course, if you're inside our Tiger's Den, well then any, in every ping, we'll do. So let's go ahead and get this show started on magical. Monday, of course, this is Tiger, financial news network. I'm Steve Rhodes. Welcome to the show. Right now we've got a little bit of a mixed bag. That dial is about ready to get negative. There we go. We got negative. The only thing trading upside is the Dow transports are up about seven points. Dow is flat. S&P is off seven. NASDAQ 165 to the downside. Russell's off five. Semi is down 18. Gold's up four bucks. Silver 14 pennies. Light's recruiters off a buck. 87. Natural gas is off a penny. 30 Treasury's up nearly one point. Trading out at 130. 26 out there. Leading the charge dollar wise to the upside. You've got Elevens Health up eight bucks. Alby Marl up eight bucks as well. That's about a five percent move there. Model Ethic Power System seven bucks. About one and a half percent. HCE Healthcare two and a half percent. Or about seven dollars to the downside. It is Mercado Libre off 26 bucks for Solars down 11. Hubspots down nine. LAM Research is off eight. Shockwave Medical is down seven. We do have a question inside the Tigers Den. Actually, let's do this here. Let's first let me give you a feel for what's going on inside the equity market. So we'll get to the questions out here. We won't we won't spend a ton of time because there's not a lot that is shifted. But there is one thing that has changed. And that is that the ES mini at the moment is attempting to form a new profile. So those are the green. So the blue ones are the daily profiles. The green lines are the weekly profiles. This is a pretty. This actually is a solid profile. This profile is forming. Now the interesting thing about this profile. I want you to pay attention to where the prior weekly profile levels are. Not necessarily the numbers. I just want you to take a look at the bottom where my cursor is at around 3999. The center around 4080. And the top is right around the 4240 ish area. Now take a look at the new profile. The new profile is within the structure of the previous profile. This is a message. The message here from a profile standpoint is to expect to anticipate a consolidating market. Well we've been in consolidating markets most certainly for the last four days with price consolidating with inside its daily profile out there. We do see until today we did see a little series of lower highs out there. But now today you've got a higher high inside the ES mini. But right now I'd say that price is just simply consolidating between 4118 and 4188. The benefit of understanding what's going on in a weekly timeframe is this is signaling to and I specifically with regard to the ES mini expect the consolidation path to continue out there. If we take a look at the other equity future contracts really not much to report here. However we do know that in the case of the NQ which is trading or has been trading above the top of its daily profile. That's at the 13062 level. Now we're trading below right now but we have traded below for the last two sessions and price by day's end has made its move above that level. There's additional resistance right now to 13348. So this A to B equal seeding pattern as Stevie has drawn it here and it's still in effect that would take us up to 13996. Price will have to close above 13348 to really trigger that further signal to us. If you take a look at the Dow I'd say the Dow is the most important of the four equity future contracts to follow to the downside. That's because if we did get a close below 33819 what it would signal to and I as a change in trend right now price just testing that level of support it says that for the last three times maybe the fourth time is the charm out there but support holding 33819 and of course inside the Russell resistance holding that's the top of its daily profile to 1810. Now there was a request inside the Tiger's Den from Roger who wanted to take a look at the ES mini and the Dow for potential day trades out there. So let's go shift over to those charts and here we've got time frames as little as 10 minutes. I guess I have a five minute chart elsewhere. Here's a five minute chart. But I don't know what time frame it is that you use Roger and that's pretty important to try to answer your question with regard to a day trade. But as we take a look at the five minute time frame chart out here I see a rogement indicator top and price holding support at its breakout level 41 47 is that a is that the type of signal you want for a day trade probably not. You'd rather see a pattern but sometimes just getting back to the breakout level of sport is the pattern same pattern here in the 10 minute chart. Big wide-ranging bar confirming a rogement indicator top and price finding support at that 41 47 level. Again that's ATD 9 count breakout area on a 15 minute time frame chart. You've got wave number seven just following Basil wave number seven that's letter G oftentimes can be a top wall. This most certainly was the case and price now may be no bottom pattern there. No bottom pattern on the 30 minute time frame out here I've topped. Topping pattern sure. That's a sell the D point out there 60 minute chart prices testing support. So right now with regard to the ESP name you ask me to try to help and identify a day trade for you. I don't see one. I do not see a high probability trade and what you'd really like from a day trading standpoint Rogers you'd really like to see we'll put up the dollar equity future contract as well. You'd really like to see for whatever the time frame it is that you're trading for preferably for all four but at least three of the four giving you those same kind of pattern signals. Now the pattern signals they're not showing apologies. Sorry Roger I forgot to change. All right Stevie. That's Stevie for you. We're going to apologize. I've got the dollar equity future contracts up now but we'll switch those back over to the NQ. Let's just see inside the dollar equity future contract. Is there any kind of a pattern that is out here that you could trade. So the 10 minute chart you can see a TD where you can see roads with the indicator top now price here suggest that the Dow should pull back to thirty three nine oh five and that's its TD nine count breakout area of support. I've got a probably a sell the D point pattern in the 15 minute chart and price dealing with support at the thirty three nine forty four level the 30 minute time frame chart not really a pattern out there see price point back in testing sport and price train above the top of that profile I would say as long as price holds thirty three nine twenty five we could see a further rally inside the Dow equity future contract now maybe first wants to get the thirty three nine oh five that's a 10 minute chart out there it can get down there and it close back above that thirty three nine twenty five I'm looking at the 30 minute chart that would be a bullish test out there if that were to unfold but is there in the Dow equity future contract do I see a really great signal out here for a bottom or something for you to trade and the answer is that I I don't I'll put the NQ charts Roger up on my screen right now during the break you'll be able to see that just watch the streaming charts out there

to take a look at the Tom DeMarc accounts for the 10 year interest rate and in my apology Kota I can't get that symbol working in my Ninja Trader system at the moment so I'll see if I can get that figured out and perhaps tomorrow we'll be able to take a look at it but what I do have up on the screen right now is the 10 year treasury note so we can take a look at this and this is going to emulate it's not going to be exactly the same but it's going to emulate certainly the 10 year interest rate now what I can share with you here I don't know I didn't look at the 10 year rate chart but what I can't share with you here is what we do have is a confirm by the D point so here's the A to B pattern out there I'm just simply going to move that over to the C point you can see this did more than a 1 to 1 A to B down side here's your bullish reversal candle that took place on April 20th and that confirmed that by the D point bottom now what we have is we also have prices trading above the center of its bullish structured profile and the price can close above the that level sorry I was going to give you the exact number so I don't have to do the mathematical conversion so that level is 114.24 so price close above 114.24 today we're trading at 114.30 that's going to signal either move up to its oscillator and change that but more likely the 115.09 area which is the actual top of its profile now price can close above that that's going to tell us that the 10 year is broken out it would be bullish if it does that and would go retarget its recent high so the opposite then Koda would also be in the case we should see the 10 year rate falling a bit it should continue to fall until we see the 30 year trail or the 10 year note I should say get up to that 115.09 area so that's what you know that's the complex I'll still do the best that I can to get the 10 year interest rate feature working on my Ninja Trader charts out there I know there's a way that I can do it but then I have to shut everything basically down and use a different data feed I think that might work but I'll see you in the next video. Thank you very much for joining me. Thank you so much for coming in and introducing figured out for a set tomorrow so hope that helps you out as best as I don't didn't answer your question but was the best that Stevie could do so no other request at this moment in time as much as I would love them so so let's do the following what is going to be the following let's see what is it that we should try to take a look at Let's take a look at let's take a look at market breath. So let's get a feel for what's going on there. I'm in the white background charts out there. My seasonal charts that website is down. So C's next is website is down. I can't pull up any of that information, but let's just get a feel for where we're at at 11 21 in the morning with regard to market breath as it pertains to four different timeframes. We can also get it for the 30 minute timeframe as well. The four different timeframes we're looking to hear a weekly, daily, the 240 minute timeframe and the hourly timeframe. And for the S&P 500, these conditions are all set to bullish. What I mean by that is we'll be take a look at market breath from a profile standpoint. We want to understand how many instruments are trading above the top of a profile. When you close above or you're trading above the top of a profile, that would be a bullish move. When you're trading below the bottom of a profile, that would be a bearish move. As of 11 21, 170 instruments are above the top of their 60 minute profile, 159 below the bottom of their 60 minute profile. That's the hourly timeframe. The forward timeframe, the data goes like this, 185 above, 134 below. On the daily timeframe, it's 162 above, 108 below. On the weekly timeframe, it's 138 above, 101 below. So Roger was right in wanting to be able to take a look at some type of interday trade. I would have to say here, what would be best is getting some kind of bottom pattern or signal on an interday chart and then going to the up to the upside because most certainly market breadth here is bullish and there's no reason for the S&P 500, at least for those four timeframes to continue to move higher. Let's take a look at the, let me pull this over. Let me get this going and let's take a look at the 10 minute, the 30 minute, I don't have a 10 minute. So as we take a look at the 30 minute charts out here, what we have is here we do have a bearish crossover, 88 below, 88 above, 230 below. So that's with regard to the ES mini. With regard to the NASDAQ 100, let's switch over and take a look at those. On the NASDAQ 100, we're calculating 18 above, 49 below. So there's your bearishness is on that 30 minute chart. So what that tells us out here, Roger, is really focus on that 30 minute and I'd say the 30 minute and the 60 minute chart. So we'll pull those up for you just for the heck of it. Here, let's take a look at the NASDAQ 100. And here on the NASDAQ, you've got, again, bullish for all four timeframes, meaning weekly, daily, 240, 60. On the 60 minute chart, it's 48 above, 24 below. So let's go pull up those 60 and those 30 minute timeframes. It'll take just a moment to get those to pull up four. So we're looking for patterns here, or at least I want to direct you towards what to be watching for, if that's possible. So let's get the 30 minute equity future contracts out here first. Thank you, Mr. Bill, for all those. We'll pull those up or pull some of those up as soon as we're done with this. So here on a 30 minute time frame, we're looking at the ES and the NQ, that's our focus. So on the NQ, prices pulling back into this, so on a 30 minute basis, pulling back into a swing point for back at 10.30 and more on April 21st, the volume there were about 60, about 70,000 contracts. When we pulled back here, it was with 61,000 contracts. On that last bar, this half hour right now, we've got six minutes to go, we're at 32,000. So you're pulling back into a swing point with lighter volume. So Roger, the setup would be a test of that swing low, a test in rejection, and that swing low is 12, 9, 82, 50. That's for the NQ out there for its 30 minute time frame. The ES mini, it would be really a test of 41, 38, 50. That would then could be your trigger. Now of course you'd like to know if the 60 minute market breadth is also bullish at that time. This is the 30 minute we're looking at. I would expect, the 30 minutes already bearers, so price is going to move lower. That's not going to change. It would really be the 60 minute that you'd also be trying to queue off of here. Let's pull up those 60 minute charts to see what kind of signals or support arrays might be there for Roger and anybody else to take a look at. So 60 minute, you're really kind of sitting at support right now. Oh, I take that back. There's a new profile. Yeah, you're sitting at support. So the bottom of the 60 minute profile is 41, 45, caught 41, 46, we're at 41, 47. So 60 minute is sitting at support for the ES. I just wish that 30 minute could get down there, test that swing point, and then get the heck out of dodge out there. On a 60 minute chart for the NQ, you're trading below the bottom of its profile. That profile level is 130, 20. Now this is going to be important to watch 130, 20, and at 41, 45 level, not at 11, 25, but at 11, 59, with 59 seconds to go out there to know whether or not price is held, that area of support. So I think we still have to go back to the 30 minute time frame charts out there. Look for some type of bottoming pattern. And you just may not get it today. So that's what I take. That's what we see. We take a good market breadth that helps us out as well as, so don't get too overly bearish out here, right? You just took a look at the market breadth of the NASDAQ and the ESP. It doesn't mean you can't trade to both sides. And remember, we took a look at that weekly profile. The weekly profile is saying, get ready for the sideways, consolidating market and choppiness to continue. Typically we'll set up decent trades for the day trading standpoint. I just don't see him as we speak at the moment. We'll be right back. If you want to take advantage of this sector, now is the time to subscribe to my Gold Report.

That was off 20, S&P 10, NASDAQ 190, Russell's down eight. We're taking a look at Microsoft. This is for Mr. Bill inside the Tiger's Den. So we take a look at Microsoft that has this nice TD9 account top but is still in place out there. That formed on April the 6th. And price has been consolidating sideways ever since that took place out there. Right now, price is testing a swing point. Mr. Bill, that's a swing point from April 11th. There were 27 million shares that traded hands that day. So far, you are at 8 million shares. So it's coming in with about the same type of volume out there. I would say that if price did close below that low, which is 281.64, odds favor that Microsoft would make run for 272.05. If price can close the day back above 282.65, it's just continuing sideways consolidation. And in its case, with inside profiles. The weekly chart has resistance at 292.30. Let me see if that was a great number. 293.30 out there. And in the case of the monthly timeframe chart, just a consolidation with inside a profile. So not much to report there with regard to, well, not much to report other than that with regard to Microsoft. Your second request was to take a look at that Google-y one. And in the case of Google, this has a confirmed rogment to indicator top, with price consolidating with inside its profile. So supports at 10309 and resistance is up at 10776. We have a new profile in the case of Google. So not much different than we took a look at a new profile in the case, weekly profile in the case of the S-mini. This new profile for Google is with inside the profile of the prior weekly profile. This message here is to expect and anticipate a consolidation pattern to continue. So again, we're getting signals here to expect a very sideways, choppy-ish type of a market out there. At least that's the weekly profile we looked at inside the S-mini. And now here we take a look at the weekly profile on Google. We get that same kind of message out there. So Mr. Bill, I hope that that helps y'all with regard to those two instruments or some other requests. Let me get to those. We could try to come back. I think there were one or two others that you wanted me to take a look at, although I don't have those listed down here right at the moment. But let's take a look at Apple. This is for Nancy inside the Tiger's Den. And Nancy, with regard to Apple, it is back inside its daily profile. And price very well may be targeting the support level, the support area. And it's a zone. And that zone resides between 160.30 to a 160.141. That is your support zone out there. We're trading below last Friday's low out there. So that's a bearish message. We're within inside the profile. No reason for price not to get back there. Well, the reason would be is because price on a weekly basis, just testing its descending trend line out there. And so when you break through a trend line, which Apple did, and I really probably should redraw this, don't we think? This one needs to be redrawn. And not really, not necessarily. So Apple broke through its descending price channel. And the bullish test, when you do break through a price channel to the upside or to the downside, this would be the bullish test. So you're breaking a descending price channel to the upside. Oftentimes price will pull back and test that breakout error. Well, that in essence is what we have going on with regard to Apple right now. So we still have to go with that as a possibility. Still could get price lower and do that. And price could still get it at 161.41 level. They rejected and moved higher. In fact, the idea that Apple should move lower today, if we look at a 30 minute timeframe chart out here, what do we see? We do not see any kind of a bottoming pattern at the moment. If there were to be a bullish reversal candle, you could get a buy the D point pattern. But here you're below profile. You're below red oscillator and change line. You don't have a bottom signal. You negate it a seventh wave move pattern out there. All that does suggest 161.42 could be a downside price target for Apple out there. So you got 161.42 on the 30 minute, 161.42 on the daily timeframe. And the weekly says, hey, I'm right now just pulling back to test my breakout area. And on the monthly chart, Nancy, you see the good old consolidation out there between 168.79 is resistance. And then the lows, 140.48. So I hope that helps you out with regard to Apple. And thank you so much for your request. John C inside the Tigers den wants to take a look at lightspeed crude. I realized I was quoting an old price because I hadn't changed over the contract on my main screen. We have that fixed. And so let's get over to lightspeed crude, which is the June contract that we're taking a look at. And I think it was just to look at lightspeed crude. So we take a look at lightspeed crude out here. Let's just start with the daily timeframe. Price has regained its daily profile, 7802. A closeback above that says, okay, I may be back to my bullish ways. The five-hour timeframe chart is in the process of confirming a roadspin to indicator bottom. This candle does not complete until 2 p.m. So tough to say at 1134, this is what it's going to look like at 2, but 1134 looks pretty good. You've got a roadspin to indicator bottom already been confirmed on the four-hour timeframe chart. Price is now above the top of its profile, which is at 7823, John. That's a bullish signal, as long as price closes above that at 2 p.m. And that'll then trigger the signal that price should go target the 8070 level. That on the four-hour timeframe is its four-hour TD9 account breakdown resistance level. The 120-minute chart has a roadspin to indicator bottom, with 7907 being the next battleground.  It may get up there and stall and pull back. That's your battleground on a two-hour timeframe chart. The 60-minute chart says, if I get through that battleground, then I want to make it move up to the 7982 level out there. So that would be the next battleground, 7982. And if you could clear that, then you're looking at that 8070. So we're taking this in a step of progressions. And in the step of progressions, I don't really have any kind of topping patterns here on the 30-minute chart. The 50-minute chart could, but does not have a confirmed roadspin to indicator top. And I don't see any kind of a top on the 10-minute chart. So lightspeed crude is looking pretty good, John. And I would say that, what would Stevie say? Say you got to watch that 7858 level out there. Because if you close above that, well, I'd say we're definitely headed higher. So I hope that helps you. Thanks so much for your request out there. Our next request is from... Oh, it was Apple. So we got all of Mr. Bill's, Microsoft, Google, and Apple. And all of those are reporting this week. Apple usually reports on to Thursday. I don't know if that's the case this week or not. So I don't have the reporting dates out there. But so we did cover Mr. Bill's request. So that's cool. So let's get to the request from CFLT. Oh, it's from Ride the Wave. That's the requester. So let's go see if we can get there. That's Apple. That was Dancie's. And here we've got the CFLT. Let me get my other screens out here. CFLT, because I may be having a data feed issue. I don't know. So on the CFLT, it's straight out of 2268. Damn, where my screen is showing 2245 out there, the white background screen. No problem. And CFLT is Confluent Inc. Well, Confluent Inc is trading right now. It doesn't matter which price level. It's trading below the bottom of its bullish structure daily profile out there. And so this is suggesting to you and I that what Price wants to do probably is get back to 2145 to 2054. So 2054 to 2145. 2054 is the bottom of the weekly profile. 2145 is the support from its oscillator and change line. If Price were to close below 2054, that would be signaling that Price wants to pull back to test that breakout level again at 1748. You're pulling back today. The volume on this has moved today. So this could be an A to B equal CD to the downside, most definitely. The B point, which would be the trading session from two days ago on April 28th. The volume of 3.3 million shares. You're already 1.1. So it does look like you're pulling back with some good volume. So in the case of this instrument here, let's draw on the A to B line. Actually, let's do it like this. That's your A to B. And what I'll do is I'll just go ahead and copy and paste. I'm going to try to copy and paste. I would copy and paste if I could grab. There we go. Now we can copy and paste. I could almost paste it. I can feel it. What happened there? It's gracious. Okay. Well, what happens, we're going to go to a break. And then Steve is going to figure out if he has the technique, he does not have the technique to cut and paste. But I'll figure out this A to B equal CD. Rest assured, we get back to the spring.

Traded on the NYSE American and TSX under the symbol VGZ. Welcome back, folks. So we can see that CFLT has achieved the one-to-one price target area, wide-ranging bar. This is not where it will end. But what you do want to do is ride the wave, is watch for a bullish reversal candle. If you get that, that is then going to signally buy the D-point pattern. In this case, it could be a currently buy pattern. So I hope that that helps you out. Thanks so much for the request. Let's see, we took a look at oil. Let's go to Coca-Cola for Roger. KO is the ticker symbol. Let's get that up on our screen out here. And today is going to become bar number 8 of a TD9 count. Now, last time Roger, this formed a TD9 count, it was on the trading day. Well, it confirmed the pattern on April 5th. It completed the pattern on April 6th. Price then will typically pull back and test the oscillator and change line. In fact, did that on the very next day on the 10th. That was a bullish test. A bullish test, after you get a top, pull back, test a green oscillator and change line. That is a bullish test. And price also closed above the top of its profile. So this would suggest to me that we should see a similar operation. Now, what that means is that the TD9 count top should form between today and Wednesday. Typically, when you get to a confirmed bar number 8, which is what we have here at the moment, we will see 90% of the time this will go on and complete a TD9 count top. So that's what I see on the daily timeframe as price is hitting TD9 count breakdown resistance, 64.92. So odds and then on the monthly chart, price is hitting resistance at 64.28, the top of its profile. The exact number on the profile is 64.22 out there. So Coca-Cola looks like it's getting set up for at least a short-term top, maybe just pulling back to that oscillator and change line. That's what I see when I take a look at the charts there. Roger, I hope that that helps you out and thank you so much for your request. The next one coming in from Doji inside the Tiger's Den. Doji wants to take like a ticker. So, well, INVH is trading at about 32.88 with a TD9 count top that took place on Friday. Now, there is a new profile that is forming out here.  It hasn't picked up on it yet. But that profile number is 32.60. Turns out at 32.56 is the oscillator and change line. So what I would say, Doji, is price should pull back and test that level. Now, like in the last sentiment that we took a look at, a price test then rejects that green oscillator and change line that will give you your bullish signal. Now, it would really be a neutral pattern because price has to close above Friday's high, the TD9 count top, in order to really get to a full-out bullish message. So right now, INVH, and you found resistance at the top of its weekly profile at the center of its monthly profile. So yeah, pull back to at least test support. And on a 30-minute timeframe chart out here for INVH, we don't have any kind of a bottom signal. So this is suggesting that price should in fact pull back. You couldn't get a TD9 count bottom by late afternoon in this instrument. So I hope that that helps you out. Doji also wanted to take a look at SPG. So let's flip over to the SPG charts out here. See what they're seeing. That is the Simon Property Group. The Simon Property Group right now trading out at about 109.17. And it is likely targeting at least the 108.40 level. 108.40 is the red oscillator and change line. Doji price closed below red oscillator and change line. Those communicate to you and now we have bearish conditions because that then tells us we have a falling price oscillator below zero. And should we get that, that would be a closed below 108.40. Now that's going to move by a few pennies or so. So call 108.35. That would then signal price will be back to test the next area of support and that would be at 105.51. We don't have that signal just yet, but that's what you would want to anticipate for Simon Property Group. Now, Simon Property Group, this will be day number three of consecutive lower closes or it appears that it will be.  So I would expect that Simon Property Group will form some type of short-term bottom either today or tomorrow. We don't see it on the short-term charts just yet, but that does something you should be paying attention to and take a look at. Dan inside the Tigers then wants to take a look at natural gas. She says, hey, Stevie, I think that's going to four bucks and more out there. So let's take a look at the natural gas charts out here. And here we'll take a look at the June chart. And what we like about the June chart is we like about the daily timeframe is that we've got that nice roachment indicator bottom out here with price just consolidating with inside that daily profile. And before price gets up to four, it's got to take out 255, at least on the June contract that has to do that. That is the top of its profile. Now it's possible that this has just set up the beginning of an A to B equal CD to the upside that we won't know until price could close above the top of that profile. But if it did, and let's just move that A to B line up here to the C line, that would only get us into that 270-ish type area. But we don't have that pattern as we speak just yet, but we do have a nice bottoming pattern on the daily timeframe. On the weekly timeframe, what we need out here is price to close above its oscillator and change line. That oscillator and change line, Dan, is a 248. If price can do that, then 274 would be in the cards out there. On a inter-day basis, I don't really have a whole lot here to focus in on. Of course, what we all want to do, or at least I believe we all want to do, and that is find somewhere to enter a long position inside the natural gas. That's based upon the fact that we now have a TD9 count yearly count that is in place out here. And so we're just looking for signals on the daily. Well, we got that. But the weekly and the monthly timeframe as well. We don't have that on the monthly timeframe, unfortunately. So, Dan, I do believe we've got a bottom out here, or it appears that we have that bottom. We need resistance levels to fail, which has been a tough thing for natural gas to struggle through. So, hope that that helps you out, at least with regard to my interpretation. And thanks so much for your request. The next request coming in from David H. And David wants to take a look at LRCX. So I think I've got to go back to my beginning out here. We'll punch in that symbol. L-R-C-X. We'll let this populate. And then we'll be able to answer his question, which I don't know what it is, but it is on my phone. So let's go check out the email request out here.  You've got the calls expressed on 5.5. Yeah, I can. I just have to type in the correct symbol. L-R-C-L-R-C-X. L-R-C-X. All right. It's coming up. And this is lamb research. And lamb research right now, it is so, it's really trading out at 508.15. And 508.15 is below that green oscillator and change line. My system is showing 509.70, my white background system. So let's go with the correct data. If price closed below 508.92, let me open up this daily chart. See if there's anything else. So just a sideways move. I don't have a reason to think of the sideways consolidation wouldn't continue for lamb research. And if price does close below that oscillator and change line, that would be the signal in the oscillator change line. Again, it's at 508.94. We're at 508.15. So the next level of support out here at David H. is going to be 497.17. That's what the daily chart says. If price can get below that, 487.68. And below that, 478.19. And that would be towards the bottom of the consolidation. You want to watch if price does that, how price is moving into that March 13 candle that did 491,000 shares. So that's the daily timeframe for lamb research. The weekly timeframe consolidating with inside its profile, between 526.48 resistance, 473.64 of support. Same kind of situation in the monthly chart, the nice TD9 Cal Bottom. Price dealing with its oscillator and change line as a resistance level and at the center of its profile out there. So I think lamb research, watch that daily oscillator and change line. A close blow. A close blow and it's going to signal lower price out here. I'm still at the wrong price on the 30 minute timeframe. Try to wish that weren't the case. This shows me at 12 noon. Yeah, it's just a little bit of a delay out here. But what we don't have is any, well, we have his price pulled back. After forming that TD9 Cal Top, it did pull back to breakout support of 508.11. So it's possible what you're going to see here is in fact a bounce. That could take us on the daily timeframe back above that 509 level. And if it does that, well, and we don't have a message that price would move lower to 497.17. So David H, I do hope that helps you out. Thanks for the request out there.

Welcome back, folks. So the question from Thomas is, is Rio Tinto, RIO, is it a short? And Thomas, our answer would be no. It's actually a long. What you got on Friday. So here's the problem with Friday's candle. Friday was a big gap to the downside. There was good volume behind that move. Volume behind that move was about 4.3 million shares. So it formed both a falling window, gap to the downside, and a bullish hammer candle. Which one is it? Well, I'm going to go with the bullish hammer candle. The reason I'm going with the bullish hammer candle is when I look back to the left, I've got a TD9 cow bottom. That TD9 cow bottom confirmed on March the 17th. Price tested that swing. Now, test that swing point with volume. That swing point had volume. Oh, it was lighter volume. No, is that true? There was 9. Yeah, 9.6 million was tested with 6.6. So you would test that swing point, let alone it was a TD9 cow.  So it looks like what Tinto, Rio Tinto wants to do is move up towards a 66, 78 level. I'm not using that as the exact target, but that's its oscillator and change line, move up towards that level. The monthly chart shows price point back to support at 63.64. Now, if price closed 63.84, if price closed below the bottom of that hammer candle, that's low from Friday out there, not low is at 63.75, then the answer would be yes. Then you'd have at least a short signal out there, and that short signal would say, okay, price should get down to 60.40, 60.61. When we look at the monthly chart, price had closed above the top of that monthly profile from one of the two consecutive sessions. So a retracement or pullback should find, a counter trend moved to the downside, should find support at 60.61. So hope that helps you out. We had a request to take a look at Nordic American tankers out there. Nordic American tankers moving into a swing point that had volume of 2.9 million shares, and so far you're 2.1. So we should at least go test the top of that. That's at the 394 level, and the price gets above that 4.11 is on the cards for Nordic American tankers. We take a look at the next request here, DKS. Dick's Sporting Goods, I believe that's what DKS is. It's moving higher, bar number seven today. You want a profile resistance? You don't have any profile resistance. Profile supported on the dailies, 1.40.62. 1.4508 is also supported, 1.44.29 is another support level for Dick's Sporting Goods. Folks, stay tuned for great programming. I'll see you on Terrific Tuesday. You please have a marvelous, magnificent Monday. Take care.
