Operation Unification has commenced across all the other states and territories and working in together to get on top of illegal firearms throughout the whole of Australia and send a clear message that the possession of illegal firearms and the activities that are involved in relation to illegal firearms are not contained. Here in Queensland we've already introduced the toughest firearm penalties in the whole of Australia with mandatory sentences from one year up right up to five years for trafficking. We have also implemented through Trevor here from Crime Stoppers as well for the next two months Operation 321 which instigates people to simply ring Crime Stoppers 1-800-333-000, ring up, give their information and hang up. It's quite simple but that little message may save their family member or a loved one from obviously the devastation and the effect of an illegal firearm. Obviously this is targeting the illegal firearms and you can see from having the success of the amnesty in which 19,000 firearms were handed in. It was great cooperation between the Queensland Police Service as well as the firearm dealers throughout the whole of of the state and it's going to continue in not just in Queensland but in partnership with the other states for many years to come because I know the acting commissioner is obviously going to work hard with his counterparts to ensure that these criminals with the changes of unexplained wealth provisions as well as getting tough on firearms sends a clear message if you have an illegal firearm in Queensland you will do time. The community's had enough and we're certainly given the police the legislative enforcement to meet those community expectations. Thanks minister. Look obviously ladies and gentlemen the fact that the police commissioners nationally have endorsed this campaign which is one of the very few national campaigns that are run each year signifies to the community the significance of the issue of illegal firearms in the community. Obviously for Queensland as it is throughout Australia it's not only a community safety issue but an officer safety issue and for both of those reasons we want to ensure that the minimum number of illegal firearms remain out in the community and unaccounted for that's why we're strongly urging members of the community to contact crime stoppers if they have any information about people who are possessing or trafficking illegal firearms. Any information that we get we will act on every single piece of information we get will we investigate it fully and we look forward to getting the sort of results that the minister has talked about from the amnesty period of recovering even more stolen firearms and getting them off the streets. Thanks minister. Yeah and just to add to that we've had record numbers of the community ringing in in the last couple of weeks over 74 people that's nearly three times the amount of people have rang crime stoppers to give information in relation to illegal firearms and it certainly is a great success and we're certainly going to continue this momentum and and make sure that we meet community expectations but send a clear message to criminal elements that you cannot bring your firearms onto the streets of Queensland. So Trevor if you'd like to make comments from the crime stoppers. Thank you minister and as the minister and acting commissioner have said crime stoppers is partnering with them in the three to one campaign to have the community report any information as the acting commissioner said every little piece of information helps when it comes to crime stoppers and importantly we are a community organisation so where the public face working with our fellow community members to capture information and pass it on to the police to date 74 pieces of information after 22 days of the campaign as the minister said that's tripled our daily average that's 53 telephone calls and 21 internet reports so if you as media wish to or anyone of the public wants to follow the campaign visit our prime stoppers website which is qld.crimestoppers.com.au and you can actually see every morning we update those stats for you so that you can see the latest results but the community is obviously participating they're concerned about gun crime and illegal firearms in our community and wish to share information anonymously with crime stoppers through the 1800 triple three triple zero number or the campaign website is easy as three two one dot com dot au. There we go. Questions? Yes. Look it just goes to show the amount of illegal firearms that have been handed in through the amnesty and every member knows that obviously the community that there would be other firearms out there but the message is now people have a distinct choice they can do the right thing and hand those firearms in or they'll be doing jail time and I understand that we had a surge within the last couple of days and when I've spoke to a number of those people to ask them why they handed their firearms in is the simple thing is is previously from other amnesties they knew at the end of the day they would have gotten a penalty of anything from 250 to 350 dollars for possession of a conceivable firearm whereas now they'll be getting mandatory jail sentences and they certainly makes is a greater motivation for people doing the wrong thing by the community to come forward and I thank them for that and now the people who will have no doubt there'll be a certain number that have some form of illegal firearms out there that they know that the law will be there watching you anywhere in any time and if you have caught you will be doing time look it was a broad spectrum right across and you know we had ones from the you know the rocket launch in here down the southeast to the flame throwers and so forth and and the tommy guns right across all areas it was it was it was a broad spectrum and what it goes to show is is that it was a great support from the community to be able to to come forward and present those firearms and also it's a good partnership between the qps and firearms dealers because we've set the bar high the first time in Queensland's history we have a weapons advisory committee and that comes together every couple of months to see how we can get rid of ways red tape and bureaucracy but but maintain a high standard in relation to accountability in the processing there was certainly a broad spectrum right from across from the city to the bush and from the cape down to the tweed and it was great to be able to see that that type of response and and and that clear message coming through once you've provided your information that's the important part about crime stoppers is anonymous so once you've hung up that phone you have a great sense of relief you've passed on what you know people who are told a secret the first thing they want to do is tell someone else so you get on the phone it's really simple pick up the phone tell our operators what you want to tell us what we can get from you while we've got you and hang up it's just demonstrating the three simple steps of and it can take just a couple of minutes out of the day to share information or online it's it's obviously not hanging up but it's generally the term of clearing your browser history and and moving on with your daily activity how do I hang on and get a reward you can't hang on to the call no because crime stoppers isn't a reactive service where we charge down the street with police and and kick in your door information is processed value added to by police officers and intelligence officers and it could take some time for the information you provide to actually be investigated and the results so that code number that we give you during your anonymous call you can ring back six weeks 12 months two years later and then find out actually whether your information did help us to catch a firearm offender or solve the crime and then possibly yes up to $1,000 depending on the seriousness of the crime that's been solved so the $19,000 prize by the number was that sort of what you said oh look it's an improvement on the last time the amnesty was run which was I think just over 10,000 so very pleasing result that we got significantly more than we did last time and got them off the street so I think it's been a fantastic outcome we never quite know what the end is going to be when you start but we're we're very pleased that it's a very high figure that's a great result for us and for the community safety look in general terms I think they're older style weapons that have obviously been kept in families you know sometimes handed down in generations not kept for any you know specifically illegal purpose just people haven't got around to getting rid of them this provided the ideal vehicle to do that safely there would have to be thousands of more firearms out there and we're not naive to think that there isn't but there is deterrence in place now and penalties in place to make people realize and I think that was one of the aspects that we got out of this amnesty is that people who may have had a firearm that was illegal in their possession that they realized that there is more severe penalties in place and they took the opportunity to either register that firearm and do the right thing because it's not just the you know from a policing perspective as well it's not just the illegal firearms we've got to make sure that we maintain the safety and security of legal firearms as well and that side of the community does a great job in that and I think the more that we have of illegal firearms or not licensed firearms being given to an opportunity of a break and enter or a stealing and so forth and they're having that opportunist crime of coming across a firearm reduced I think that's a great benefit to all of the community and I certainly do thank all members of the community have participated and done the right thing now what will happen in through from that there's a number of items there that they will then be licensed because obviously you could imagine that having those items as illegal and people possibly trying to hide them away and keep them away from authorities increase the opportunity of them actually being stolen by the wrong element and by doing this because if they came into the hands of the wrong element is they could certainly cause severe damage a rocket launchers capacity go through two feet of concrete and and nine inches of metal and it would be quite catastrophic in the hands of the wrong people but now we were able to to get them either rendered inoperable and be able to find out exactly where they are and be make sure that they're stored in a safe place and less opportunity for an offense to develop yeah there was approximately a bit over 13th and a half thousand firearms to be registered and that that was it was very pleasing to see that because obviously these people had the capacity to be able to have their firearms registered but obviously they didn't have the motivation and in some ways it's disappointed that they didn't have that motivation and it took law changes and mandatory sentences to shock them into reality of the of of the risk that they're putting at the rest of the community so I'm very happy that they have you guys check the statistics at all to see if they're involved in any crimes they certainly do look yeah I know we do we do that periodically with firearms and checks of stolen firearms or firearms that have been involved there has been a number of firearms a small number I'm talking about a handful of firearms already that have been subject to stolen property investigations and I'm pleased to following that up yeah thanks minister look obviously a shocking and sickening crime we monitor events all over the world in in our preparation for G20 a sort of attack that no one could have foreseen until it happened but we look at all of these aspects the motivation behind them how they're carried out what lessons we can learn from them so yes we we look at every element of every offense that's gone on around the world and factor that into our planning for G20 and I can certainly say from from my side as a minister as well we have regular briefs we are well ahead of of all our planning phases in relation to the cooperation and coordination both on state and federal level from all risk out angles and we have a team under Assistant Commissioner Katerina Carroll who is certainly advanced in ensuring that we have all possible scenarios task and and it will be a it'll be a magnificent event for Queensland and I'm sure that we'll have the resources and the motivation then and the people in place to to cover all those unexpected circumstances and that's what all those planning phases are currently doing look I think you see extreme you know whether it be the Boston marathon we saw the other day and I think they highlight the the the importance of having all of that planning and preparation in place before an event and people may look and say why are we doing these things and it's great to have a crystal ball and hindsight afterwards but I know the police are doing an immense amount of planning for any possible things I know when we see this particular instance you know I haven't seen all the details yet but I think everyone's seen it on on YouTube or in any forms of the media and it is shocking and it sends a chill through people to see the callous way and the way in which ordinary you know perceived members of their community have an extreme view and manifest that by by such vicious acts that and that is repulsive to anyone in the community and but I can assure you that from the Queensland Police Service it is one of the most professional police services in the world and I have great faith that they can they could meet any planned or or or any particular you know disaster or event that can come their way we are constantly updating our security strategies and our planning in the lead up to G20 and and more broadly we meet as the minister said very regularly with our state and federal colleagues to share intelligence about terrorist threats some of which are obvious some of them not so obvious and we're in a constant state of readiness and preparedness for any event particularly our focus is obviously on G20 for next year it's such a significant event globally but we take all of the incidents that have occurred including the Boston Marathon bombing and today's very savage attack we treat them very carefully and we consider their context within the Queensland environment and we are always constantly reviewing our plans accordingly yeah look we we are constantly reviewing and everything is fluid and assumptions that we make every day about how we're going to react are shaped by events as they occur so we're not rigid in terms of our security planning we're very reactive and flexible and take note of these things and the implications they have for us for our security planning and that will continue every single day until we get to the 14th of November 2014 and not specifically no but I know that all of the drug operations particularly in the smaller regional towns the impact of local drug dealing is every bit as significant as it is in the cities and in many cases more significant because the impact of illegal drugs on people's lives is very well known so it doesn't matter whether it's in Warwick to Womba Brisbane the Gold Coast Townsville Cairns the illegal drug trade destroys communities and ruins the lives of people and that's why at the state drug squad and in regional policing we put a very high emphasis as was identified in the illicit drug report released by the ACC last week the effort that Queensland has put into drug detection we're leading the leading the country we're very proud of that and we make no apologies for it yeah there's there's a couple of phases to do that okay is obviously when we came into government we changed legislation in relation to the evade police powers taking it from a mere fine up to over five thousand dollars and losing your license for two years we then introduced the honing legislation to impact in relation to making sure there was there were severe penalties and that your car would be crushed and confiscated because all this leads into the scientific and the and the and the information that we have got from academia is that you need proper sentences and you need forceful sentences to send a clear message to those people who we think about taking off from police that there is a deterrent in there what we've also said is that whilst we look at the the police pursuit uh obviously uh memory uh sorry the pursuit powers is that we would review them uh in the coming well basically in the coming years okay so I've always said we'd look at that to see how we can make it better we'll maybe change legislation to even make it stronger but there's loss of one innocent life on the road has to be taken into account and that's what we'll always do now there's a lot of misconceptions going out there amongst the community even amongst a number of police officers there is a there is nothing there is not a no pursuit policy it is a managed pursuit policy and uh obviously we don't want to put the lives of officers or the general community at risk at any time um I think that's a that's quite entitled to the comment but the reality is is that's why we have a managed pursuit policy that works in in relation to addressing the the hazards and some of these decisions are made made in split seconds to make sure that we can get the best outcome for everybody involved now if someone is uh is stealing a loaf of bread from the shop and they then are pursued by police and the death is ensued I'm I'm sure that we are quite a different focus on on a pursuit on a pursuit policy and that's why we've got to have a balanced approach and that's why every 12 months we sit down with the commissioner myself and and the executive to go through uh the the policies not just pursuit policies but right across the board look we'll be looking at it towards the end of this year yeah commissioner stewart has already committed in the past to having a review of the policy within the next six months well once we have sufficient data and he's committed to that but as the minister said the really important statistic to keep in mind here is a sensory introduction of the new policy not one single member of the community or a police officer has been killed in a police pursuit compare that with what occurred in the previous years I think that's an outstanding outcome for the community and that's meant the police have not had to turn up and deliver death messages to people about the death of their husband father wife brother who have been killed accidentally as collateral damage in a police pursuit oh look certainly I've had over 20 years in the police force before going into politics and I I certainly understand uh you know uh but the end of the day we you know we haven't got crystal balls or hindsight we have to look in what's in front of us and make the best decisions and uh have the best policy at hand and that's why we said we'd look at it like in a grown-up way to say uh and not in a reactive way to say we'll see we'll assess this and that's why like those laws when when I talked about the honing laws there right if you could imagine an operational shift officer for honing laws under the present scheme it was taking eight hours to process one hoon now they'll be able to be processed with anything in 20 to 30 minutes so from an organisational or imagine an officer in charge of a station that person now has the capacity to get on with you know other ways to to reduce those dangers to you know to get on and get other other other police responses instead of being tied up behind a desk doing paperwork for eight hours and I think that will change a whole different uh culture and perspective towards uh towards policing because we're actually going to you know with the technology that we're bringing forward and introducing towards towards the end of this year police will be be be able to have a more hands-on approach and they won't be I rest assured they won't be doing the paperwork that they're doing now to justify their their actions yeah there's no doubt it is a significant issue amongst rank and file officers their uh instinctive wish is to catch criminals and bring them to justice that's what we train them for and that's I totally understand that but the key question for the community has to remain is the death of an innocent person an innocent motorist a price that the community is prepared to pay for the unfettered right of police to pursue and that's that's a question we've got a grapple with and it's a question that the community also needs to think about you know it's a very high price to pay for an innocent person to be killed uh because the police have an unfettered right to pursue and that's the the fine balance we've got to continue to work on


Do you think Medusa is evil or a good person? I feel like I have a feeling that she's a good person that was wrong. So if you're gonna get Medusa tattooed, this is the episode to watch. And if you already have a tattooed, then you're gonna know more about Medusa. So Medusa, she was just popular in her town. Okay, very well known. Yes, and she was the prettiest girl in town. Her idol was Athena, and Athena is the god of war. Medusa had a crush on a boy. Yes. Yes. But she wanted to be a priestess more than to be in love. So she said, nah. Yes.  She rejected the guy. She said, I can't be with you, man. Like, I like you and everything, but friend zoned. Sounds about right. And then Athena is impressed with her. She is just a perfect person to be part of Athena's temple at the Perseidon, which Perseidon means the place of virtue. This is where everything begins. You're losing me. All the drama. This is it. As soon as she enters that temple, that's it. Athena started getting a little jealous. Attracting men to the temple. She was turning men into monks. It was like, I want to worship Athena too. Sign me up. Sign me up. Every man just fell in love instantly with her. As soon as you see her in Athena. Well, why am I getting jealous of Medusa the way you talk about her? Oh my God. The hell? Ouch.  Damn caterpillars. Oh, nasty. Poseidon came through. Uh-huh. And Samedusa. He fell in love. And because he's the God of the sea, he's Poseidon. He said, I can get anyone I want. He was cocky. Yeah, he was cocky. Very confident. Yes. Poseidon saw Medusa. Uh-huh. And he said, come here. I want to talk to you real quick. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. He tries to make a move on Medusa. And Medusa was like, hold up. Nah. You can't be doing this, bro. Because I'm pure. I don't even like you like that. If you have Poseidon tattooed, or if you're thinking about getting Poseidon tattooed, you might not want to hear this part. What? No consent. Yup. Took away her virginity. Oh my gosh. Her pureness. Yes. Athena finds out he's mad at Poseidon for disrespecting the temple. Athena says to Medusa, it is your fault for being beautiful and making Poseidon love you. Wow. So, Athena was so mad. I'm just going to curse you for eternity. Her? Yes.  And then she said, not just that.  But that wasn't enough. She said, this is not enough. People even there to look at you, the person would turn into a statue, a stone. So that way she was isolated. Oh my gosh. She sends her away to an isolated island so she can be there for eternity. She said, I'm going to put a target on her back. So I want all the warriors to go and whoever is able to decapitate Medusa will gain her powers. And then here comes Perseus. He is the son of Zeus because Zeus sent him a pair of shoes with wings on them. Zeus is like, I'm going to give you a sword. Okay. Zeus is the god of the underworld. He said, let me pitch in. I'll give you a helmet. And the last person that pitched in was Athena. Let me give you a shield that'll protect you. And then what he did in order for him not to look at her, he turned and looked through the reflection of the shield and start walking backwards. But then Medusa woke up. Finally, when he feels her presence, closes his eyes and with the sword just goes, this is the twist of the story. Medusa was pregnant. She gave birth to two sons. His name was Chrysor and he's a warrior. The other son is Pegasus. One of Poseidon's mythical creatures is a horse. So if you didn't know the history of Medusa and now you know about it and you have her piece, I'm curious to know how you feel about the piece now.


Welcome to Spotlight. I'm Liz Wade. And I'm Colin Lauver. Spotlight uses a special English method of broadcasting. It is easier for people to understand no matter where in the world they live. Vũ Nhat Anh stands on a performance stage. Bright lights shine on her from above. Hundreds of people are watching her. They are interested in her beautiful clothing. She is wearing a kind of traditional Vietnamese clothing called an áo zài or áo yài. Nhioc arm walks slowly across the stage. Her áo zài moves gently side to side. This is because it is made of soft silk, a light flowing material. The áo zài is two pieces of clothing. The bottom part is loose trousers or pants. The top is a long fitted shirt or gown. Nhioc arms trousers are white. Her gown is a golden yellow colour. It covers her arms down to her wrists. And it fits tightly around her chest and neck. It is long and hangs almost to the ground. The gown is split at the sides. It opens on the sides from her waist to the floor. As Nhioc arm walks across the floor, she looks as if she is floating. On that night, Vũ Nhioc Anh won the 2012 Miss Vietnam Áo Zài competition. The judges thought she looked the most beautiful in her áo zài. It is a great honor to achieve the title Miss Áo Zài. This is because the áo zài is more than just traditional Vietnamese clothing. It is a symbol of the history and beauty of the Vietnamese culture and people. Today's spotlight is on the Vietnamese Áo Zài. The áo zài has a long history in Vietnam. Experts believe forms of the áo zài have existed for hundreds of years. It is part of Vietnamese identity. But that does not mean it has stayed the same. The people making áo zài have used their designs to react to changes in culture. At different times, French or Chinese culture has influenced áo zài designs. Sometimes, people changed their designs to be more like other cultures. At other times, people designed áo zài to show that Vietnam was a free and independent country. During the 1930s, one of the most famous designers was Nguyen Catuang. He was also known as Le Meur in French. He made a new design that was particularly for women. He was influenced by some of the new French clothing. But what he designed was not French. Instead, it was a new modern version of the áo zài. Before, the áo zài was loose and plain. But the new design was more fitted. This modern áo zài became very popular in parts of Vietnam from 1960 to 1975. After 1975, Vietnamese women did not wear the áo zài as often. The Vietnamese economy was struggling. Most people did not think paying for a nice áo zài was necessary. However, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the áo zài became popular again. In 1989, a Ho Chi Minh City newspaper began the first Miss áo zài competition. 16,000 people attended the competition. But this was only the beginning of the áo zài's new popularity. From Ho Chi Minh City, Miss áo zài competitions spread around the world. They went to places like Long Beach, California in the United States and the City of Toronto in Canada. Today, there are many countries that have large populations of Vietnamese immigrants. When these people moved out of Vietnam, they brought the áo zài with them. Originally, each woman's áo zài was made just for her. Áo zài makers sewed each áo zài using only a sharp needle, thread and her hands. A woman visited her áo zài maker many times to make sure her áo zài fit perfectly. Today, factories produce áo zài's in large numbers. These áo zài's are sold in Vietnam and around the world. The export of the áo zài has influenced global clothing designers as far away as Paris, France and New York City. Even now, the áo zài continues to change. Women want different things from their clothing. They want to keep the áo zài, but they want to react to changes in global clothing as well. Still, wearing the áo zài has special meaning. Kim Lai Yingling is a Vietnamese-American writer. On her website, she explained what the áo zài meant to her as a child. I remember when I was a little girl. I would walk into my mom and dad's rooms. Behind the door hung long pieces of fabric. I knew these beautiful pieces of material were going to be made into áo zài's. I remember staring up at my mom when she wore her áo zài. I would think how beautiful she looked. I could not wait until I could have an áo zài for myself. We asked Vietnamese spotlight listeners when Vietnamese women wear the áo zài. Listener Cong Le explained, Women usually wear the áo zài during official holiday celebrations. Listener Trinh Hoang said, I think all women in Vietnam wear the áo zài at least one time when they get married. And Nguyen Tran told us, When I studied in high school, I wore the áo zài six days each week. In Vietnam, women wear many different colors of áo zài. Usually younger women wear light colors. And older women wear darker or bolder colors. Spotlight listener Tuan Ong Nguyen explained, Every different áo zài color and design shows the beauty and character of the person wearing it. For example, students wear a white áo zài. This shows purity, innocence, and young beauty. A woman may wear a pink áo zài at her wedding when she marries. This shows graceful beauty. The áo zài continues to be popular in Vietnam. And people in Vietnam are proud to share the áo zài with people around the world. As Tuan Anh writes, The áo zài is the pride of the nation. It is the pride of every woman, every time she puts it on. Have you ever seen an áo zài? Does your country have any special clothing? Tell us about it.

Basically those principles in a very informed and articulate way, I don't consider you an expert, like to be to be breaking down hypertrophy studies and that kind of stuff, because most of those involve all of those complex topics. And if you're going to arrive at here's how we got these results, you actually do need to understand how all of those things work and fit together in the research. So those are kind of the basics that you really do need to have now. When I say people need to understand them, if I say explain to me him and size principle and you're like motor unit recruitment, like it's when you're for motor use smallest to largest I'm like, cool, you understand motor unit recruitment right.

Chairman of the Independent National Electro-Commissioned Professor Mahmoud Yakubu has raised concern over the rise in insecurity in parts of the country and its likely effect on the conduct of the February 3rd rerun and by elections across the country. Sir Einig Boss made this observation at the first quarter meeting of the Interagency Consultative Committee meeting on election on Tuesday, where he challenged security agencies to make the environment conducive for the conduct of the forthcoming elections. On your part, the security agencies represented by the Co-Chairman and the Inspector General of Police Coyote Egbetokun and the representative of the National Security Advisor Nuhuru Badu are shared of the security agents' readiness to tackle any situation that may arise before and during the election. All aware, election is a multi-stakeholder responsibility. Einig has a role to play, so too are other stakeholders. As security agencies, it is your responsibility to secure the environment, to enable us to deploy personnel and materials, and protect observers, the media, as well as the polling and coalition agents representing political parties and candidates. In future elections, particularly the forthcoming by elections and rerun elections, we must present a managed election-related violence, intimidation, and other security threats so as to uphold the credibility of the process. The Office of the National Security Advisor and Security Agencies under the flag of ISIS, moves of team collaboration with Einig to ensure that elections are conducted in a secure and peaceful environment. In this regard, the coordination of security operations, deployment of personnel, and adoption of proactive security measures will be paramount. The representative of the NSA, representatives of other security agencies who are here present, senior officers of the Einig work here present, members of the press. On 3rd of February this year, the police as a lead agency in election management will be providing security alongside with other security agencies for this election. We are aware of the challenges associated with the conduct of isolated elections, and I want to assure Nigerians that we are on top of this situation. We have conducted threat analysis in all the 26 states where election is going to take place, and we are going to deploy according to the threat assessment. We are also going to deploy adequately and massively for this election.


Hello and welcome to the chart of the week video with me David Madden. Today's date is Friday the 25th of January 2019 and the time has just gone 1201 GMT this week's chart of the week is the nib the Italian market or the Italy 40 as we call it on our platform And we'll start off by looking at the chart at the at the market on a weekly chart so as we can see here between May and December there was a fairly solid sell-off on the Italian market Nice series of lower lows and our highs a classic example of a downward trend But as we can see here with the Mib and also Europe European Asian and also US equity markets we have we did see a bounce back in late December and if you take a look at this candle here You can see here that has got a very long wick and that suggests indecision Then the next candle over is a classic example of a bullish engulfing and then even though we haven't finished this week It looks like we're going to have four weeks in a row of positive gains on the 40th of May So that's quite that's quite a appear to be Regaining some of the ground that's been lost over throughout the back end of 2018 Taking a look of the MACD indicator of MACD histogram We can see there's a steady increase in positive momentum. So as the market is pushing higher We can see that that has been confirmed by the steady increase in positive momentum Taking a look at the market on a daily chart We can see here that the level reached today just about took out the highs of the middle of January So so today we've managed to just eke out a three month high on the Mib So once again, it gives an indication of how well the market is doing We're just Reaching multi month highs And if you look as we know from tau theory the indices or the averages must confirm each other So that Mib has just managed to eke out a three month high Where whereas the whereas the attacks the cack and the ibex have all backed up roughly in a seven week highs So the major euros major euros on indices are all moving in the same direction So we can become more confident that that the recent positive move in the Mib is going to continue And part of the reason why major eurozone indices have been doing well today and also in recent weeks Is because of the european central banks update yesterday. It was a little on the top of side And that's why the the euro denominated and the eurozone Indices have been pushing higher So if the Mib does continue to push on higher from these levels We could look at targeting the psychology important 20 000 and then further in the kind of more medium term if the market does manage to kind of Keep pushing on from the lows of december We could be looking at heading up towards this red line here the 200 day moving average which comes into play Just shy of 20 900 but um There we can't ignore the kind of wider downward trend that the Mib has been in and that ties in the wider downward trend That us equity has been in after that number of months So if the market does manage to turn over on itself again We could find support coming to play from this blue line here The fifth day moving average which comes into play at 18 990 we can see here in recent weeks and months that the 15 moving average acts as both resistance In in december and also as support in january and if a metric has acted as both, you know Will support and or resistance in recent weeks months. It makes it more likely that it will do in the near term And if you do have a size will break below The fifth day moving average We could look at retesting the december lows in around the 17 915 area If you are going to be trading the Mib, uh, please please note that next week on thursday We have both your uh, italian Unemployment and also growth figures as well as eurozone as a whole growth figures Uh, one last thing before we go if you any comments to make in this video Or any of the other videos we've made here at cmc markets, please feel free to leave review and good reviews. Thank you very much


Live from Dublin, Ireland, it's theCUBE, covering Hadoop Summit Europe 2016, brought to you by Hortonworks. Now your hosts, John Furrier and Dave Vellante. Inside theCUBE, I'm John Furrier with Dave Vellante. Good. Hey John, thank you very much. So Ron Botkin is here, he's the president of Think Big Analytics. Ron, welcome back to theCUBE. It was good to see you again. Last time we saw you was in New York City last fall. Thanks Dave, it's great to be back.  What do you think of the show? Well, it's just awesome to see, you know, so many people here in Europe, serious about Hadoop and the ecosystem around it. You know, it's grown up a lot very quickly. So, you know, we're always talking about theCUBE, but Hadoop's now entered adolescence and you know, it's kind of growing up a little bit. You remember the early days, everybody said, well, we have to bring enterprise capabilities to Hadoop. Hey, everybody was talking about that. It seems to have happened, right?  So where are we today in terms of Hadoop, enterprise readiness? Yeah, I mean, certainly we see many of our customers are, you know, in production at scale and you know, moving from kind of the initial use cases to getting more analytics value, more real time, you know, more ability to do large scale proactive analytics of new kinds as well as, you know, some of their initial use cases that maybe were more batch and, you know, cost optimization. So the capabilities have come a long way. At the same time, you can see rapid innovation, right? This whole concept of continuous applications that involve, you know, working with data in real time, incredibly important, whether it's for internet of things or consumer behavior data. So we should set the context for the audience.  You guys are, you know, we're early on in that space acquired by Teradata a year ago. A little over a year ago, yeah. A little over a year ago have allowed you to sort of keep the brand and, you know, one of their sort of little jewels, Think Big, is tip of the spear. I always call it. Johanna and I talk about that all the time. How has that integration gone? How has it affected, how has it affected the Think Business, big business and how has it affected the Teradata business? That was a good question. So definitely, you know, just to make sure people know the services we offer, we help people not only in planning and architecture, but right through partnering on the engineering implementation, data science analytics and then even managed services, right? So, you know, one of the things- Planning, design, implementation and management. The whole PDIM cycle. We pride ourselves in being able to be long term partners with our customers to help them continue to get value out of big data. And, you know, one of the big things that was important for me and us deciding to join Teradata was that they saw it as strategic to have us continue to be independent consultants, not just a separate brand, but, you know, a focus on consulting and helping customers pick the best technology, right? So we're not incented to sell Teradata products and where we have many of our customers continue to not be Teradata customers, right? So we're working with innovators, maybe using other databases, maybe having more of an open source strategy from the get go around their data. So we work across that whole range. You know, so for us, the- And that's not changed. That's not changed. You still got Oracle customers. That's right, we still have Oracle customers and Redshift customers and everything in between, right? So, you know, we, so for us, it's been great because, you know, we've got now the backing of a global public corporation that lets us do things like we're expanding rapidly here in Europe. You know, we have the benefit of all the infrastructure and great teams, great relations with customers.  I mean, their customers are always telling them they want to pay less, but I guess everyone does, it tells commercial vendors that these days, don't they? So, you know, they've got these great relations because they take care of their customers and we get the chance to come in and help them with the whole ecosystem, right? Go deep and, you know, as you say, tip of the spear, how do you put the whole thing together in dry value? So that's valuable to Teradata because it lets them play an important role across the whole ecosystem and their depths of experience around data management and ours and around the open source environment really come together in a powerful way, right? There's a lot of lessons, right? I mean, we're busy, I'm very active right now in driving to have more integration with architects between the Teradata for some of the best of the best in Teradata and Think Big to really cross-pollinate some of the best ideas, right? I mean, so that you really have the benefit of the best thinking and data management from both worlds, which I think is super important in the enterprise. So that's real valuable to Teradata, that's real valuable to us, that partnership. Right? We're on at Big Data Week in Silicon Valley, which is Big Data Week is our event, Big Data SV in Strata, Hadoop, more commercial event going on. We talked to you guys and was very clear that this year is the year of the cloud where everything kind of fits into place from a Lego block standpoint. Data warehouse, business intelligence, tweaks, monetization, I mean modernization where you can have emerging tech, AKA Hadoop and other stuff, plugged into pre-existing and or retooled or replatformed data warehousing, which you guys were talking about. So it's not a mutually exclusive, that's very clear. But the thing that we saw was the power of the cloud and how that's accelerating that. So what's your take on that? Cause you've seen the insights early on in your company. And it's always been kind of like that out of reach and people touch it and they're in a vertical, they get lucky or they step on it or they bump into it or they have expertise and they can go in and do some great insights. But the operationalizing and the mainstream wasn't getting there fast enough. But now it seems cloud is driving that heavily. Share your thoughts on what you're seeing. Do you agree with that statement? Do you see other things, other forces? So certainly, we started a company almost six years ago and six years ago startups were doing things in cloud and the enterprise, what we would see often in the early years would be enterprises would get started, do something in the cloud cause it was so compelling to get up and move quickly. And then the antibodies would come out and stop it.  But then the internal IT department competed for the business and came up with a pricing that was, there was no way that they were charging for it. They just did not want to have this competition to their own services, right? So. They didn't want to give up the footprint. That's right. They wanted to control this thing, right? So early days we saw a lot more of that. Nowadays we're seeing a lot more progressive enterprises really going cloud. And it's not a surprise that in this newer space around big data, around these new technologies that people are leaning in on cloud because it tends to be net new. There's a lot that has to get done, right? But I'm impressed, you know, talking to a lot of CIOs. The timing's much different now, right, than it was.  But the timing's critical. You got there early and you had a good exit. But the thing is, is that, that antibody effect around the whole shadow IT scared, kind of held things back. But now with cloud, more resources are available. You run compute at things. You have in memory. There's a lot more stuff going on to make things. That's right. It's matured a lot. Adoption is mindset. I really think the biggest thing is mindset. That instead of the mindset being like a few years ago that cloud was insecure and you couldn't do it, now the mindset is that it's got a lot of advantages. And so with that mindset change, the other thing that's happened is, at CIO Summit a couple months ago and all the CIOs I was talking to, one of the big themes was how much Amazon has done to become certified and compliant in regulatory industries. So they're taking it really seriously to things like PCI compliance, right, in the financial industry. And that makes a big difference, right? And GovCloud too, they've done well. Yeah, GovCloud was a huge one a couple of years ago, right? Well, it's interesting, because your timing actually was quite good. You coming out of the downturn, and remember during the downturn, a lot of CFOs said, all right, shift everything from CapEx to OpEx. So that was the move. And then coming out, the business lines had this pent up demand for projects, and they had more cash. So they were sort of racing to the cloud without a lot of consideration for governance and security and compliance. And that was sort of a backlash to Amazon. And Amazon, you're right, has stepped up in a big way. And that's just made the market more resilient and overall better. So, okay, so now we're here in 2016. What's the next five years look like for Think Big? Well, I think we're going to continue to move quickly to, we see a lot more emphasis from customers on getting the data organized then really enables all these new analytics on new data sets, internet of things, which could be manufacturing yields or real time connected products, whether it's business to business, or whether it's healthcare, whether it'd be really more deeply understanding the consumer and driving a personalized experience with the consumer. All of those are going to be critical. I think those capabilities to use data analytics are going to become critical elements of competition in many industries. Like I think Andreessen Horowitz is right when they talk about the industrialist dilemma that these industrial companies that for the longest time had a big moat, it was very hard to compete against them. So they didn't have to be as nimble and adaptable. That's going away. Having the digitization is changing those industries and it means data analytics is not an option. So we're going to continue to be out there helping customers but driving much more advanced outcomes and help them compete successfully to be the winners in this new digital world. So you hear a lot about IoT. Obviously there's the next wave of ROI potentially and we agree with the sort of Andreessen scenario. It's all, the digitization completely breaks down those industry silos and allows all kinds of disruption. Having said that, what's the bell curve look like? Is a lot of companies still struggle with ROI beyond reducing the cost of storing data? So what's your sort of scenario on sort of plain vanilla dupe giving back ROI? Beyond let's say fraud detection and ad tech and some of the standard things that we always talk about. Yeah, well what we see is that there's huge returns when you get to where you're really starting to use the data and drive the analytics. So there are cases where you have very clear metrics, things like better models for interactive customers. Some of the things that are also easy are like, well we can measure better sales. Some of the deeper things are like, we're working with global high tech manufacturer and we have helped change the way they do engineering using big data. So they have a deeper understanding of the science of their product. They're able to get products to market faster. They're able to drive up quality. If you're developing a product with a two year product life cycle and you get it to market one month faster, that's huge value. However, what you find is any of these upside scenarios where you're driving better revenue or profitability, there's usually many variables that go in. So the expression that I like to say for that is an old one, success has 1,000 fathers and failure is an orphan. So anytime you're going to use data and analytics to drive benefit in the business, there's going to be a lot of other things that came together to make that happen. And so the best way to do it is to, again, you have this partnership where the business owns this solution. They're responsible for the success and they realize that this is a capability it must have in order to make it work. So that's where we've had a lot of success with customers where the initiative one and big data was a key part of enabling it and we're not debating how much of it was this versus the process change versus hiring the right skill set. All of those things came together and they're all important as part of succeeding. But there was a big schism between the way in which, for instance, and I liked your description of the business owning it, but there was a schism between the way in which IT defines success and the way in which business defines its IT is, hey, it worked in the business, like, well, I'm not really not sure what I'm getting. Are you saying that's changing quite dramatically because those two are coming together as an alignment? There is, right? So I think when you talked about this challenge of people going out in the cloud and sort of running wild, right? There's this balance of, you want to have a happy medium in so many of these things with governance. You want to have enough governance that you kind of have confidence. You've got complete data and you want to have some consistency and not chaos, right? So you need- Just enough, but not too much. Just enough, but not too much. You don't want to have heavyweight processes where nothing gets done and neither do you want to have chaos going on, right? So I think a lot of times what I've noticed is there's a lot of places like so many marketing organizations have flavor of the month. They have so many little siloed products that they use, each of them with their own little analytics piece that it's overwhelming. It's like the value of integrated data and consistent analytic approaches is being lost, right? And so a lot of times the IT organization, the information management people have a perspective on having some commonality, right? Its agile is about moving quickly but then harvesting and building commonality after you've proven value. And that's very different than chaos, which is just keep doing it, never clean it up. And it's very different than waterfall where you have to plan everything out before you take a step, right? So the future is going to be agile, which has to be a partnership. Whether it sits in IT or whether it sits in the business, you've got to have technology teams that keep, you know, minimize the debt and make things better over time but are tied to the business working closely as a partner for success. I got to ask you the security question I've been asking all the smart people today. So security's changed a lot. You were talking earlier about how, you know, cloud security is now perceived as, you know, kind of world-class, even though perhaps it always was but they're filling in some of the holes. How should CIOs be conversing to their boards about security? There seems to be more of a recognition that there's exposure, that they're going to get, you know, penetrated. How should a CIO communicate to the board? What's your advice to CIOs? Well, you know, fundamentally, the security conversation in a modern corporation has to be one about risks and trade-off, right?  Security is about knowing your risks and weighing the business impact and making rational choices about what you're going to do, right? So that should be- And determining how much you should spend to mitigate that risk. That's right, that's the point, right?  How do you address those risks? And, you know, the board conversation has to be at the level of, you know, some of the top order questions around the impact of the business and, you know, frankly, the commitment to make investments, to avoid certain risks, right? But it should be at that level of transparency and there's also the notion that you're never done, right? The security, there's adversaries out there, so you've got to constantly be upping your game, constantly going back and testing, constantly responding, right? I mean, the recent example of, I think it was Home Depot that had hackers penetrate their systems and they got a lot of credit because they had already identified vulnerabilities were exploited and were in a process of closing them out, right? So they were following the right process of proactively addressing the issue. You're not going to always fix everything in time, but by being proactive and on top of it, that's a best practice. You're talking about a response plan, right? So it's transparency to the board, it's a framework to actually quantify the exposure of how frequent, how bad, what's going to cost, et cetera, and then how to respond to it. That's right. So you're being proactive and identifying the problems to begin with, right? So you're constantly questioning, are we following best practice, do we need to up our game, and how we operate? So that's a continuous proven factor, which, because the bad guys keep getting bad, it's like the old radar detectors. Remember we used to have radar detectors and then they'd be obsolete the next year, you'd have to buy another one because the cops had better radar detectors? Sort of, it's a lot more risky though these days just getting a ticket. Well speaking of radar, what's on your radar now because you have seen the early days, you've seen the trajectory, and there's still new people coming into the game you saw on stage today during the keynote, Herb asked people to raise their hands, and it's still a lot, 25% of the people knew to Hadoop, knew the ecosystem, guns blaring, come on in, jump in the deep end, welcome to the party, what do you say to them? Let me hear those folks watching. I think for them the great news is there's so much good technology that with the right services help from a company like ours and specialists, you can get a lot done quickly. I mean, unfortunately we're seeing though, the other side which is a lot of times companies go out and hire the large SIs and they get people that have no real expertise, they've just taken some training and literally I was talking to a customer who's complaining that they had to kick out a bunch of Accenture people who were sitting there googling every time they asked them for help in their Hadoop cluster, they had like 25 people on site googling the answers right in front of the customer because they had no idea what they were doing. Oh, that's bad. That's good, well it's good to show you the state of the industry, to that point though, now you've walked in your shoes as an entrepreneur, get the scar tissue to prove it, a lot of the folks who have been here for 10 years have seen this journey and they're veterans, I guess it's dog years or how we want to call it, it's maturing, you mentioned, what's your advice for folks out there right now? I mean, you've seen the ups and downs, certainly a lot's happening faster, there's more money in the tables, the reality's hit in the road, rubber's hit in the road, what's your advice for folks? I think there's a lot of capability, the places where innovation is happening is out in that continuous application space around more real time, there's a lot of maturing, you're seeing a lot of coalescing around engines like Spark as a compute framework with a lot of real desirable properties, so there's a lot more capability in other place, we're seeing a lot of innovation is around improving tools for governance and security and data management, so the bar is raising, but you're continuing to see, as in so many open source ecosystems, rapid pace of evolution, so you're not going to see a slow down in the next Apache flink and Kafka streams and you're just going to keep seeing innovative new things come out. There's early stuff going on, new projects, but there's also no maturity, I got to ask you the question about the antibodies, your comment about the cloud and how exciting that was during that Amazon stage of the past, they're 10 years, I mean they're celebrating their 10 year anniversary, so I remember how much fun that was, certainly the past five years, it's been great too, we were able to go by five years ago, you mentioned antibodies, when you get something in the cloud, you stand it up, DevOps, it's really easy to get something going, then startups could actually go in and win some business, then the antibodies come in, so, but now we're seeing integration, I want to give you thoughts on integration, because integrations are the new antibodies that are in place now, which is, okay, go out and do some stuff, we'll let you play around in the cloud, but now the table stakes to engage in enterprise has integration bar, you mentioned Amazon's facilitating with their PCI compliance and other enterprise grade, what is that bar now? I mean, because we're hearing that buzz all through the show, Pat here, and back in Silicon Valley and throughout the industry, integration is the new lock-in, where in the 90s, you couldn't even go to an enterprise, it was to where mega-funded, full-stack, now it's the integration. Yeah, so I think you're always going to have different axes, right? There's tons of value in bringing integrated services and capabilities and customers buy it for a reason, because it really helps them achieve results, right? That's why you have Hadoop distributions and people don't get 25 independent components and cobble them together themselves, right? So there's a lot of value in integration, there's the same in cloud, right? I mean, when you look at, I'm just always blown away when I go to the Amazon Web Services console now and it's like the whole page of services when it used to be like three or four now. It's monstrous, monstrous. And re-invents coming up, they have a slew more. Oh, it's just going to be 200 more. Absolutely. But the bar, do you see the bar though higher on integration than it was? Yeah, I mean, I think, I mean, high in certainly the sense that there's more value. I'd say that customers generally are more wary of using things that generate lock-in, right? That there's an awareness of that phenomenon, but there's still cases where convenience and speed to market wins and people are willing to take the hit. I think that the biggest place people care most about not being locked in is around the long-lived things. So data storage lasts a long time. Data formats and storage is a lot harder to move around whereas applications can be rebuilt with, many applications are not so complicated to rebuild. So obviously, like if you have a banking system, you really don't want to take a lot of risk in that. So re-writing something like that's a lot more complicated. All right, Ron, thanks for coming on theCUBE. Really appreciate it. Getting down to day one. Live coverage is great to see you again. Thanks for sharing your insights. Well, thank you. All right, we are live here on the side of theCUBE, here in Ireland in Dublin. We'll be back with more live coverage after this short break.


Good morning traders. Good morning, everybody So today we had one of those days where everything that a pop failed starting from NQ I Would say this is the best alert that we gave this morning. So we gave a short entry just the top of this move and We got a short over here 14 794 Now the price is down over here 80 points. So some very good unwind So exactly over here 946 We went for NQ FFT short 14794 All right, so you can trade in Q or you can trade a Q's We had a good play on Tesla a couple of good plays on yes three good longs on pixie and This is the setup that we gave for a short. Let's look on the one-minute charge We gave the entry over here in 946 exactly on this bar And we were looking for these extremes over here. So we're looking for this major resistance 14796 and the support over here 14736 Once we saw that we started taking the trade So good morning. Good morning Tom a little code Derek Morning Jay Hope you had a good morning session was I would say a tough day Because in pre-market we had this range. Okay, and you can see over here that we had a top at 14 800 and then a bottom over here 14734 This is the plan that I gave in pre-market and we said let's look for a pattern to short Or a pattern too long So We're looking for this play or this play over here two major reversals Morning Greg or morning sale us Traders if you join over here right now We alerted all this we treated these setups at JTrader.co. We share it in the room put a like Subscribe also to book map and to the JTrader.co YouTube channel and support us. Thank you very much I'm gonna share a few things over here morning Maria so typically when I'm trading Futures or stocks I'm looking for two major plays One is the trend following so simply starting to see you know here lower highs lower low scenario. Okay And was in one instead is the reversal. So let's say we have a major support We're looking for our reversal play. So one is trend following One is mean reversal. We have two major plays. Okay first and Second one over here So this morning being we were in a range you can see over here. Okay 930 exactly at this point Okay, this point over here is 930 So being we were in the range was looking for extremes This was extreme and this was extreme this blue line And once we got this area You can see really the break of this So here what happened? We have the Longs right there are trapped So here is what we call a bull trap scenario and When I look at that When I look for those bull trap scenarios the first thing that I want to look for is looking for extremes and over here You can see NQ 943 extremes to trade Okay, 943 before this major dump I was saying to it here to be patience Okay, so I'm gonna put it here This is our plan we can cut all of this right now. Okay, this was our plan over here and we were Alerting 946 short NQ 14 794 Not a bad play traders right not a bad play So the trade exactly came over here Short want to write over here a few things to make in the stand why they do this Because long players Okay, we'll be trapped And we can write a few things about it tip When we have a range sideways action longs will be invited to Buy the break out and This is why I would say Usual technical analysis is bullshit It's bullshit. It's BS You need you don't need it. Okay the usual I Would say concepts manuals And studies you did over the years Are just the best traps Dead big hands like funds firms We say market makers. Okay using the logarithms use in order to trap In order to manipulate The price at their I would say Their pleasure in their favor and this is why technical analysis doesn't really work. Okay This is the reason why Technical analysis doesn't work. Is it clear? Questions. This is why technical analysis is just obsolete. Thank you writer like this Any question treaters on this? Hello, Dario Good morning. Tell us What I mean is that If you build a system that is I would say built only on On an air normal price action Okay, you're gonna get killed. There's no way you're gonna make money Breakouts breakdowns is just bullshit right now You need to wait Different parameters instead of a break away the break up pull back solid level with book map and then you take the trade On something like the futures, especially if you look at NQ CL Yes look for extreme to trade Okay, don't fight a trend. So not always me reversal will be Working, but when you have a range you have to look for those mean reversals levels. Okay Like if you look at this, this is the trade we alert. Okay, so I'm gonna put the trade exactly here 794 and I can share with you We share in the room some trades on NQ and the Q this morning so you can You're invited to join a Detroit co-community. This is a short over here If you look at this point, right, we have another key level of support You can see how we break down and then we start reclaiming I was not able to cover this Because we are looking for this unwind. This is another fake breakdown that reclaim of the scenario Okay, and now it's stuck in a range again. So if you actually Put attention right now We are in the same range of this morning nothing really changed, right? Nothing really changed Let's go back over here when I analyze a few things And then we're gonna look also dive into book map a little bit Pull up on 10. If you're over here, buddy Pull Check why I'm writing boiler You see that guys, so I'm talking for ATSA. I'm talking for medic They play exactly 10 20 Okay, when you see that This is our perfect reversal over here beautiful setup. I love this you can see bang But anyways, let's continue to cover. Why did you trade this morning? We traded six things We had seven trades more or less one was a stop and Six were wins. It was a very good profitable morning. There's a trader right here that sends me his executions But I think he did very good this morning performing So this is a future trader. So we'll down over here. So let's see what you traded So Mark saying he traded Tesla. Of course, he trades always Tesla. I know Some traders took a pizzzy. I'm reading some DMs over here This morning we had pixie. Okay Some traders took Femi a little bit on wine, but still not that much Trader took Tesla I'll try to tell me anticipation Tesla All right, so I think we can start with Tesla over here. Okay traders. So let's look at Tesla Okay, my plan this morning and we can do like this My plan this morning was very simple look for extremes And we can see over here the last three days is one day Monday Tuesday and Wednesday Yesterday, sorry Monday. We showed it over here more or less Yesterday we showed and then we longed it. Pardon my bad Monday over here, I share all the trades you can go also check on Twitter But we long over here from that mistaken. We long over here. I'm mistaken then we shorted. Yes we showed over here all the way down and This morning we shortened we longed two good wins over here It was not a day that I suggested trade for beginners Because you can see that we have two major extremes one and Two and I was saying clearly look for the break of the range. Okay So a lot of this a lot of the analysis you will learn it only when You join the community and this I wrote at 837 on New York time So I was actually in range waiting extreme. So one hour before the open already said what to look for Looking for a push only into the 249 for a short. That's it All the rest that we traded was only scalping. Okay only scalping In the first few minutes, we gave a commentary over here This is What our team did at the open. So, you know, the usual place Team showed over here the J lines risk above here covers Then along right away cut and then longing over here selling to the push so two long plays right very fast very easy and That's it for the morning The time frame that you see below over here is one hour Then we traded over here This one, which is the cues and in Q shore So when we alerted in Q shore at that what was 14 is 794 more or less We got a short over here and then I don't know the trader, but probably it's Hold it and we start taking also the spy So we had some good position on spy this morning Again J lines boom taking the short very easy So here right now if I'm looking at Tesla On book map and I'm pointing out What I'm looking for right So look with me Support 241 242, so if we don't get to this level, I'm not touching Tesla right now Resistance 246 if we don't get this level. I'm not touching it 248 into any if we don't get of course this resistance. I'm not touching so we are stuck in a range I don't want to trade this over here I like to trade open because with book map we can really flip good from long to short this morning We showed over here, so I'm going to put back up the the trade that my team took Let me see Over here you can see a complete picture, right? So this short is a short over here that we see with book map Then we covered We long in the dip so we longed over here because we're looking at a big absorption We stopped out Okay, I'm like 20 cents and then the trade over here long over here in the dip You can see you bought the dip one two three times loading so he bought over here the dip and then Solving this push so it took like one point per share Over here. He sold this push over here Then he didn't trade anymore because he was looking at spy more easy faders and looking at 50 So looking the short we took also in queue But essentially you can see in about 10 50 minutes He took his trades Now looking at book map We have a major support 240 That support to 41 to 42 that we're seeing over here this one Then we have this region do 46 Which is this and then 248, which is this so the levels that I put on the chart are Respecting the levels that we have on book map. Okay It's a clear guys the process think it's very easy, right? I'm gonna And also Twitter. Yes, I will answer you after over here This morning was a little bit busy trying to help traders new traders coming in the room So this is the gate. We said then long on dip and Tesla traded academy here along in Tesla explained this real time flat on Tesla then explained over here about shorting dais and Spy Helping all the trader over here Mentoring trader at the academy this morning short over here covering and then over here We took also three longs on pixie here long Long again and long and so win and then some traders took the short the short seller Some traders just simply took the longs this morning, but essentially good way to trade Okay, now looking at Tesla like to use a lot the five minutes are but also three minutes This is the range. So if I have to Think over here of a scenario Think looks like a wedge, right? What do you think? So inside this wedge, there's no point over here for me trading Yesterday low we have a 241 and 60 The previous day we have a big supported level to work 41 and 60 you can see over here the liquidity that was traded So simply wait over here and My plan this morning is gonna be I like to say in advance what I'm looking for I'm gonna look for this I'm gonna look for this If we break this level So let's say we unwind then I potentially start looking for a short stone here. Okay. Is it clear the plan? Very easy. This is what I do every day because I just observe the market You want to follow somebody very good on futures? Follow Frankel and his beast reversal over here on the long side on NQ. This is NQ traders. Okay So taking over here a nice 50 points move 40 points move Nice job, buddy Take care Matt. Take care brother So Tesla, let's wait over here. I'm seeing over here some tears taking NVIDIA this morning Honestly, I didn't look at all NVIDIA. I was looking at IMVT that Gave an absurd sick set up over here the dip nothing to say. I mean, this was perfect Coming up over here with the jail is all yesterday So how it work over here is it's monster. Okay, when I see something like this is simply love it So Microsoft was stuck in a range made up stuck in a range Google stuck in a range for now and Q back in the range over here. Yes Still stuck in this previous trading range, but I'm gonna start checking over here. Yes, probably So yes and spy if you want to see how I use my wastes check over there So we have some a little bit of sell-off over here on spy But nothing really Amazing to trade Okay, let's go back on Tesla I'm gonna look if we're gonna break the range on this one And we're gonna look if you're gonna break the wedge over here Stuck in a range and I think let's go back on pixie So this is pixie in the morning We got some good trades These levels over here if you have question traders or you want to review something together just ask Right now the market is a little bit slow So I'm just waiting Tesla cues and cues pie. Yes Over here for some traders in the room pixie So I'm sure they're still short Surprise is going over here to the 115 on pixie The open level is over here 132 We are the top at 138. So I don't see over here any kind of big push coming for now Until we are this below this 115 116 Looking if we have anything else in the scanner So the only way that I'll be interested in pixie again is if we can get this 125 130, but for now I Only see this like rejecting J lines She's the 115 and How they soak over here? We have a support of 106 So look at 106 over here today came 106 and it bounced every single time Yeah, Mary that long in the market played very good played very very good This over here. This is I think is a good management from the trader buying the long on the hard low and Selling into partials then buying again and selling and then buying over here Selling and when he saw the stuff over here very good risk management cutting immediately the trade for we're still a profit You have to be quick traders when you trade Something like pixie is the stock of the day 160 percent gapper We had multiple flow rotation The flow there over here is very small and we add There are 90 million volume traded. Okay So Tesla going back into the range Do you see anything else pushing for now trying to break over here the 116 117 Let's look if we have a little bit of extension low volume for now we have You can see over here the Bind and selling pressure. We are 50 50. So we have as many buyers as many sellers So I don't see right now really a big move coming On pixie. So if you're short, like I see the majority of the traders just hold So good morning Morgan. So let's see over here I'm late to joining the video This morning you brought up playing the extremes what contributes to that view inside previous day range after big moves Yes, and also You can see the consolidation if for example, we put over here this morning. I was looking at Thank you, right? This is one of the major plays that We had this morning I'm gonna review this on a five-minute chart. So 948 over here this plan we gave a 946 price. It was a here and We said Waiting plan and Q extreme to trade same on Tesla and yes so if we look over here the full price section from yesterday after hours to the pre-market and Market openings over here. We see that as sideways. Okay. Yes, they have big unwind Even the day before right So sorry the pre-market of the previous day Big unwind over here. So we had a move from the after hours the day before from 950 down over here to the 650 more or less. So we're talking about 300 points This is a norm of physiological trading range Okay, and when you are in this range, you simply the one attack long or trying to buy dips unless the market confirms So what are you gonna look for you're gonna look for those extremes? Now over here in case we break the slow 700 and then start reclaiming ideally. I'll be looking for a long for now not yet So that is the reason more Million J. What are your thoughts on AI trading system like one tune will be staring all at charts in the modern-term futures So this is a good question because I'm just creating a quant Okay, and It's gonna be not the future for everybody because not everybody is able to to do a quant you have a lot of resources Quant is good. Remember it takes off the excitement and Adrenaline that you get from trading So it's good because you have no emotion. So simply you trade with the system gives you even if sometimes trust me You see the system performing and you say what the heck why didn't sell or buy over there? But you have to follow the system. Okay, you just made off that based on that while trading it's just simple like That gives you a lot of emotions a lot of adrenaline I mean when I'm done in trading and I trade let's say a day with size where I want to really enjoy it. I have I Don't need anything else in the day. I mean not gonna go all the night or late or whatever because that is gonna be enough Okay, so you have so much more when you trade by yourself but quant yeah quant is Already part of the future is something that I'm very interested into So right now market is fading Let's gonna put over here up QQQ or even in Q we can put Actually, we can put it So breaking the lower here to use three fifty fours Some major support three fifty three and eighty. So this level over here and if you look traders Look at for who is in the room. Look at the last J lines on Tesla Q's In Q's pine yes three good self for the short side Check right now. We are unwinding still selling over here the Q's and the Q's so I'm not really looking for a long play Hourly chart Gabe over here already tired over here gave a shooting star. So this is a reversal dojin is forming over here an evening star So we should see over here this low coming three fifty three on Q's if I'm gonna have a long play. I'm gonna alert But for me the only long play to look for is It only the possible level here remember We gave the shortest morning at this point on the Q's and thank you. Okay at this point over here here Timestamps also recorders here also some charts of execution in the room of this That's our level. So right now It's fading over here below the pre-market sort of the day low a new day low over here three fifty three and eighty some support Not to convince about that Means gonna fail more New lows gonna form over here. There we are pretty weak Let's switch to Tesla Break down this wedge Now getting also to the low of the day So potentially Tesla the two setups that I'm waiting for as you know is gonna be a downtrend over here and looking for a potential pullback in short or If we're gonna have that low that we That we see on a Q and in Q will bounce back up Then of course, I'm gonna look for Outroversal on Tesla well and buy some calls Probably two forty two and fifty or even two forty five, but for that I need the entire market to bounce for now We stay with a trend We're following the trend over here. So No reason to start taking counter-trend trades breakdown of the Q's If we see over here of the three fifty three eighty support Just very heavy We have to stay with the trend right now just waiting Tesla dipping this previous low two forty one and fifty, but No major reversal. I'm checking also here. You can see the Tesla This lower here is trying to bounce, but still no reversal play over here a little bit of small volume on Pixies so take a take a look at that Some balance on the Q's but still down trend formed Good job of Greg on Tesla. Remember few trades and Only trading the A plus setups, but and also traders remember no late entries. Okay So there's a stolen winding Q's spy and winding Meet the sideways Amazon and winding I am VT dip Pixies small curl, but until we don't get 125 130 minute looking to trade Q's looking only that low so that support of the reins that we set Rather than that. No other trades Amazon's I'm good on wine this morning So I will probably stall into the 122 yeah I'm expecting over here a support in a target 122 on Amazon and over here we can start looking for a dip So I'm expecting a dip 122 in bounce Mate over here is in the verge To break this level of resistance. You can see this inside bar Also had over here Also has a trend line But it needs really to break the trend line over here It's very very tight Until I don't see this breakout Not gonna trade it. Let's go back over here to pixie Pixie has a ton of supply over here Into the 130 145 For now if you're short on this simply hold There's not enough demand over here last few administrators together any questions I Think we went over the Q's Tesla today pixie We went over and Q If you have any other question, please ask and rejection over here You see new sellers are joining at 120 And when you back over here to the 113 I don't see over here any big problems for the short sellers Until we're gonna have this Price action and the price over here is going to stay below 130. All right, so 1110 think we had a good session for the day see you back Next week again put a like and good luck. Thank you for everything and book map Thank you ever again
