Take a look at flowchart. I have a list here of some of the common flowcharts and programming, we write a program. It's not a complete list, but these are indeed the most common ones you will see. And the only ones that were used for this class when this week or so. So we have an arrow here. The arrow is the flow line called the flow line and it's used to connect symbols. And it's also the flow of logic, the flow of data. So when you receive the input, where does the input go to the next process? What does it do? So the flow line is that the terminal is this oblong shape or the oval shape. Sometimes it's just an oval shape, which is okay. This is the terminal symbol, meaning both the starting position or the starting symbol and the ending symbol. So every program must have a start and an end, right? You can't just like run without starting somewhere. It's always starting and end. And then you have the output and input. You can see that the starting end is the same symbol. The input and output uses the same symbol. This is the, I think in geometry, it's called the parallelogram. Parallelogram, it's a transistor here. So this shape here uses for both reading input and displaying output, right? The processing symbol is just this rectangular shape, right? So here we have four symbols here followed by a few more. The diamond shape here is a decision icon. This is where you make decisions that either true or false, left or right, turn left or right, you know, start and go and things like that. So that represents that symbol. This is also known as the conditional statement. Okay, so we see this in flow chart. We'll talk about the conditional statements is this symbol here. The connector here, just this so-called connector here. It's like a rubber band where it will be tied a bunch of wires together, right? So what you do is that you have a lot of flow lines coming from many other symbols to one symbol.  That's all it does. Annotation, you just to write some notes and a particular process to explain what's going on inside that particular box. So here's the example of what a flow chart might look like. Back to that steps we just talked about, right? So you start with a star position, start icon and then you always end down here. The flow of data always starts from the start symbol and you're going down, doesn't matter which direction, down, up, left, right, doesn't matter. It just easier for us to see it downward. So we usually throw it down in this direction or it's something as you go to the right. But it doesn't matter where it, which orientation it is. So you can see that is a really simple process here. You start the program and then the first thing you need to do is you need to read the number of sheets of paper, right? How many do you have in order to process it? Once you have that information, this is the output. So as you can see, you put an location here to say this is the input, just some notes with it. This is the reading inputs and you see the parallelogram symbol here. The output is also the parallelogram. So by visually seeing these icons, a programmer can easily think right away, okay, this is a reading input, this is display output without having to think twice about it, right? So that's what you wanna make sure you have the right symbol to help you code faster. It all, it is to make you code faster and more accurately, that's all they do. And then once you have the sheet, you can process it. As you can see, the processing part are the things that happen behind the scene, right? They're not visible to the user. You don't have to see it, it's happening in the background whereas the input and output, they need to see on the screen, okay? So these are hidden processes. Of course, you can put all of these inside the same square if you want to, it doesn't really matter. Or you can break each one by its own separate box like this, it's okay too, right? As long as the flow of information is flowing in the right direction to the right box and the right sequence, then that's fine. Again, there's no rules to how many boxes you have or you shouldn't have, but there is a rules. Your rules are how or what symbol you should use, right? And the arrow here is also important. So you notice when you start, when you start a program, the arrow should only go one arrow out to a particular item, right? And then it goes out and you process it and then you display the result and the program, right? Well, it's simple like that. So it's a sequential order from top to bottom, just like that. Then inside each box, each shape, you have to include a word or a statement of what's happening inside the box. So you always want to write start. If you don't put start and end here, usually you will know because of the arrow, but you always put start and end here. These boxes here, so what's happening inside here? Again, you obtain sheets, you can actually write a coding here too, like sheet equals get sheets, like whatever it is you put here, as long as it makes sense. So put some text in here, like you see here, set set step equal to sheets by divided by five. It's a process. So this is like a pseudo-coderator, right? It tells the programmer that you have to calculate the sheets by doing this way or it stands by doing this algorithm or operation, okay? So each box must have some text in there. You cannot leave it blank. That's the rule. And so here is the next part, pseudo-code. Again, just a same English like phrase with some basic terms. Back to this again, I'm gonna go right to... This is the hierarchy chart. We're not gonna do that in this class, but a hierarchy chart is kind of the same thing.  So you go here and then down. You process the left side first and there's no more to process and then you go to the next one, you go down. You process something here, is there something more you can process? You keep going down, right? Go down here. Oh, I keep going down until there's no more down here. You process that, comes back out and then the next is down here. You process that when you're done.  That's the order of the hierarchy chart. So it's always down and then down and then right down, right down. So let's go here. Here is, I think we already looked at this already. So we've seen this already, this is the flow chart and then we have a decision flow chart, right? You see here, this is the pseudocode, as you can see. This is the flow chart that will give you the same meaning as the pseudocode here. This is called a decision flow chart because of this symbol here. This symbol makes a decision, either yes or no, right? You can have both, one or the other. And this diamond shape here will always have exactly one input. You cannot have two inputs, exactly one input and exactly two outputs. That's it, okay? So you process something, either it's true or false. So the direction of data will flow left or right based on this condition. And this is a really important icon where you will use a lot of programs, a lot, okay? So for example, you check if it's true, then you go to the right side, the arrow flows out to the right side, point to the next process. So processing here again is a rectangular because we don't see that on the screen. It's behind the scene and it wants to have done the arrow. The output here is passed on to the next process. And then here is the false part, it goes out here. So as you can see, we have two lines coming out and then they're gonna go to a one symbol out here, maybe to display information. So instead of having two lines going to that symbol, you can connect those two lines or more line using a connector like this. And they just one line out. Just make your design cleaner and easier to see, okay? So the pseudo code looks like this. So if the condition is true, right? If this is true, then you process step one, right? Then yes, you process step one else or otherwise you process step two, then you done, okay? So this one looks very similar to a program already. So again, it's no rule how you write your code here. As long as it makes sense to you and that's fine. So here's another example of how you solve a problem. So given a street number of a one-way street in New York City decide the direction of the street either eastbound or westbound, right? And they gave you some information as well. In New York City, even number of streets are eastbound and a westbound or unnumbered streets, okay? So which is kind of true, right? Well, streets but highway is usually even numbers are north and south, right? And then unnumbers are, no, I'm the other way around. Unnumbers are north and south, even numbers are east and west. So if you look at the US highway system you see that all the highways are even number are always east and west. Like over 80, over 88, you can take that, right? So you have 41, something like that. It's designed that way. By the way, so these are the rules that your program has to conform to in order to work, okay? So you will do something like this. So again, first you start the program and then here you need to get the street. So you come to the street name or that street and you look at that street address or the number or now the street, if it's even then you must be going in the eastbound. If it's odd, you go to the westbound, right? Okay, and then you're done because that's all it is. You just determine based on the street number which direction are you heading? And then this is a pseudocode for that as well. Same thing, if the street's even then you must be going to eastbound otherwise go on the westbound. For example, like that, using pseudocode and flow chart. So we can skip this part here. So here is another one. This is a condition decision structure as well but it's also known as a looping flow chart because it loops, right? Loops and the looping is this arrow here go from here, go back here. If you follow this, if you imagine this goes in circle like this, are you holding a loop here continue to loop until this condition is false. If it's never false, you're gonna go into forever in this loop. And when we write a program that can happen in your code if you have a program, if you're not careful it will run into this loop here we call this loop of debt and programming, okay? It goes wherever nonstop and then it uses all your computer resources and it crashes without a memory it can get a freezes in this crash.  So as a coder yourself you want to prevent this from happening unless your intention is to do that make sure this is called but this is also a really important process and computing and computer program is. So loop, you can see here it says while this is true or as long as this is true process this information here and then go back and do it again, okay? So the processes part we don't have more information here or something here must set or affect the condition in this diamond shape, right? So if you want to count a number from one to a thousand starting with one so you can say it's one less than a thousand and yes, then you go in print one and then we want to increase one to two and you keep doing that until the increment patient of that number exceeds a thousand then it would exit out, right? If you don't do that then you're going to have that forever look you call that an infinite look, okay? So it's really important to understand this part here it's also very useful but also very dangerous. So I don't, it's always something good. So this is the loop and flow chart and then here again, I'm going to skip that or see this before this is just another program see how much you have left I'll do one more and then we'll take a break, okay? One more here. So you can see it gets a little more complex but if you follow the arrow and read what's happening in sage box you can kind of guess what's happening and you can translate this into code, okay? So it helps you write code very, very quickly and you can always go back to this page for this design to make sure why your program doesn't work the way you expect it to work because maybe one of the steps is missing or it's incorrectly coded therefore you don't have to result that you want it. So here we have kind of same as before it's a looping chart it starts here run through a lot of processes and it loops back again until this is no longer true then you exit out of that and you continue on until we end that program, okay? All right, why don't we take a I was gonna give you a 10 minute break we'll come back at about, let's say like 645, well 645, 47 around there and then we'll continue on with the next part and maybe we'll also dive into a little bit and kind of conduct kind of give you a preview of what's like and then we'll start up next week by writing code, okay? So I see you guys back at about let's say 650, okay? All right, so I'm gonna show you a few more flow charts and here I will probably I don't know if I should, it's with you or not but I'll share with you later. So in here is an example of something a little more complex, right? So it's a little bit, okay, like this, all right? So it's something about, you know a series of things that you can see in a flow chart of course not a program, but it's also applicable here. You see when we start a program here and end up here and so something happens, like a process here an accident happens and you wanna determine whether you should call an ambulance or not, right? And so before you do that, what happened to that person, right? Is it a blackout? If it's a blackout, then yes you should call an ambulance definitely, right? And then it will end here. So even though like the arrow is down here yes, it does not show the arrow here it usually flows out of here and goes down here, okay? It does not flow here and goes in here because you have to follow the arrow, right? In this kind of design and then down here doesn't mean that it goes here and it goes up here, it doesn't mean like that it just means it goes up here the arrow is down here so it goes to the end. 63 lines are coming to the same spot and usually if you were to design this you put a circle connector symbol here, right? To not confuse the people here if you look at it, it's confusing, right? So you put a connector here for that it goes in one direction. So this is a little bit bad design here but in a ways it makes sense. So you check for this condition you just have blackout, no, there you check for the vital signs, it's weak and yes and couldn't. It's not check if you have any broken bones I know that it's bleeding, no, then you take a rest and then feeling sick is it sick or no sick, right?  If it's yes, you just go to the clinic we're not gonna call the ambulance, right? So something like this you have a lot of these are called conditional statements, right? One after another to make sure whether something is true or false, right? That's one example. This one here is a little more complex. This is at the airport for example, okay?  And again, usually these are several conditions here so you can see a loop that goes in here. One of these is true. And you keep going down here, you multiply it. Assuming it's all already good to go and then let's see, there's no loop here, yeah.  I guess this is more about the connection here, right? So whether you make connection or not if you don't make connection once you arrive at the next airport you can connect to the next flight which you make connection you might have to go back to security again. I don't know. Again, depends how what the airport is but I don't think you have to go screening again but in this case, just showing you how these counts have been used in a real world scenario. One here, this one is much simpler. It's just a long clock, probably apply to almost everyone here. You start the program along range. Are you ready to wake up? No, snooze, right? Say, will you be late? No, you snooze it. Wait for five minutes, just a timer here. Just a delay symbol, which we don't see. After five minutes, it rains again. You ready to wake up? Yes, maybe leave the bed, turn on the end, right? So this is a simple process in here. Next one here is kind of similar to gate. Another airport scenario. This one here is a recipe type. Okay, you make some, I'm not sure what this is, but you prepare the egg. The egg type, what type is it? Is it once gambled, once once at it, we want hard boil, we want to set it up or whatever it is, right? And then you have these processes to occur. So again, we have condition statements here. This is more of a, like we'll call it a switch case statement. We'll learn that later. We have multiple options in here. Instead of just two, we have multiple options, okay? But still, only one route can be taken at any given time, not two, okay? And as you can see, all these symbols are only rectangularly. It doesn't show you any output, which is kind of rare in this case. This is another one here.  If they're clean, yes. Rinse off the soap, turn off the water, by hands and the program, right? Step by step like this, even though it takes a lot of effort to draw this out, when you see this and you translate it into code, it helps you a lot, okay? So if you don't know where to start and the code, go back to the drawing board and draw this out. So you can see what's going on, okay? If you don't understand what's happening, each step of the program, then you may not know how or where to start the program. Again, just another one here, but it's simple for this way, log in program. You see this? You may have experienced this already all the time, log into your account, log into your iPhone, you can miss a couple of attempts, it shuts down your system, right? Same idea. You start the program, has it used five attempts yet? No, not yet. You log in, you otherwise, is it correct? No, then you go here and you reduce that attempt, right? Or you increase it by one, two, three, four, five, after five attempts fail, then you lock your account and you allow the user and that is, this is a typical flowchart for that type of login system.


The following is a presentation of TFNN the Tiger technician hour with your host Basil Chapman call now toll-free at 1-877-927-6648 Hi everyone, Basil Chapman on this Friday the 6th of May and we're looking at the Dow this is gonna be very interesting since the Dow had the spectacular move up on Wednesday and even more spectacular move down on Thursday and today went almost down so it went down to 32,474 the low on 3449 was the low on the second and what I'd say to subscribers is that maybe let me do this I think is best let me just run the numbers the Dow is down 349 having made a low of 32,474 the S&P is down so the Dow is down 1.03 percent the S&P is down 1.2 percent and it's down 50 points at 4,094 the low of did I rewrite that I'm not sure if I did that correctly the low of the second was 4,062.51 oh I wrote the wrong thing in 4,062 4,062.41 I think I said it doesn't matter it's 4,000 4,062 and now we're looking at and now we're looking at that was five get rid of that there we go and now we're looking at a low of 4,067.91 in the H pattern the dreaded H pattern how we break below the left side low is really important you can you've seen that one two three four this is the fifth time usually when you get to about the fifth time of an H going into a downward mode called the dreaded H because let me show you the pattern right here because this particular pattern what happens when it retests the left side low is already important if it breaks it can go even much lower that's called the dreaded H an A pattern an arch pattern in the H formation that stores at a peak A or a B how it tests the left side low is really important very often we keep coming down and then there's a very large arch what happens on that particular test is really important because if we break down and you're going to get your one-to-one to the downside from the arch high to the base of the left side low in this particular case you're looking at a big move now I heard a couple of things with Tommy O'Brien and Tom kicks us off at 9 a.m. with the mark it's for the market kickoff show and he does a fabulous job trying to put together technicals and fundamentals and what he was saying when have we had a 6% rally and a 6% decline in the same week well it wasn't in the same week but we had that from the lower 41 14.65 on the 24th of February going to 44 16 that's a 300 point move to the upside and then it comes down didn't quite I don't think it was 6% on the downside but that was a pretty steep decline to the 41 57 low and we did it we did it before when we came from the 42 22 low of the 24th of January to the 45 95 high so and I'm not sure is that that's 3 forms 400 points yeah that was a 8 9% rally and then it gave it back very soon afterwards so what I was looking at here is that there was a chance that these candles are called them a chapter we Roman candles let me just show you it's basically on the Dow in this particular instance that those candles that open with a fractional wick and then plunge to the downside and then it's going to wick and then plunge to the downside and then running back a half to two-thirds above the low if they green candles that's usually a very good sign if the price closes above for three out of four sessions and I call this one here on the second of May a half chapter we've Roman candle so maybe it did the same thing it did the rally to the upside very strong and then it gave it back and now we're testing the lows and that's going to it's going to be really important my thinking here was that there could be a flow of activity up towards the pink nine hundred nine p moving average of thirty two thousand three twenties and then we're going to get the big test of do we plunge from here and we just take out all the lows and other we got like right to thirty one thirty two thousand two thirty one thousand nine hundred maybe we're going to do that now maybe there's an ugly Friday that turns into a really ugly Monday but if we're talking about a crash scenario remember Fridays like Friday the before the October 19 1987 crash we're talking about that I I see the possibility but I don't see the other what I would call the fundamentals doing doing that and that would also imply that Monday is the low and from then onwards no matter where it crashes to you start a brand you move to the upside we kind of clean everything out my thinking is that we are in a bare phase and then we keep getting these rallies with lower lower highs and lower lows until we get that volatility index and if you think about the volatility index where we are in the new cycle or remember we were going going to Russia was was going to war they stepped over the line into the Ukraine that was early February I mean February was the signs and then in February they did it and we got that spike to the 38 level 37.79 on the make that red so that I can see it clearer in the VIX index and then 37.52 on the rebound on the 8th of March a lower high and then we plunged down the VIX index down to the what was that 1870 something 1845 level on the 4th of April and ran all the way up to 36.54 I must make that read as well and was on the 2nd of of 2nd of May so the fear factor based on the gauge on the VIX index gauge is saying there is so much going on here that we're at the rates Russia and there was a third thing that I didn't put in here highs in the VIX index at 37.79 back on the 24th of February and here we are March April May three months later just 93 months two and a half months later and we're bumping up against those levels when that when that fear part of it is it's abated quite a bit not only that in the market itself we know that there's inflation I talked about the market hating the unknown about the unknown it's always every day deals with the unknown we kind of know what's going on here and that's why I think when the final plunge through the downside comes where we make the low for the next big move up I think there's going to be a lot of other things that these I believe are all part of what I call the earthquake and the and the tremors for the tsunami and the aftershocks so what we're looking at here is just a series of aftershocks the worst I think in the price is still to come but the news a lot is in the market right now are you looking for a way to consistently add winning

in leg F only that you mentioned that because I have an in leg F and this morning I was thinking okay is this the time I missed it earlier on we had we had discussed this hedge before I just showed it to subscribers I never got in it's a pity because it really is a terrific hedge look at the way it's gone from alone in the 23s to where it is now it's 28 it's 29 49 this morning doesn't have to be giving you the greatest percentages but it's a good way to play it doesn't have the you know some of the some of the ETFs get diminished every day because they get reconfigured so they're always losing a little bit of a percentage at the end of the day this is a little different I believe I liked it but it was in leg F there was no other way that I could count it because it made a low and low three days ago so even that instant restart and this is called what I call the chapter wave unconventional instant restart I didn't want to go there so what we're looking at here is that it seems to me on a very short-term basis that this is what you got to keep your eye on and we will for my subscribers to an opening call on the next really big pullback and hedge either that or one of the Dow ETFs that is either one to one or two to one a short but we're looking at that again but I am I am at the moment thinking that there's just enough bearishness and support in the key indexes that I'm watching with the Dow and the S&P to suggest that what I'd spoken about some time ago was there's this rolling correction and that at some point some form of some sector will give you some kind of support and that's the reason why we've we mostly cash I mean we've got a huge cash position because some of our older positions we still are long and we have inch a day or inch a week short-term trades but nothing that I've considered to be a move that is more intermediate term even the oil sector stock that we just got I'm just even that has to be at this particular point with crude oil and it's not directly it is related but not directly related to crude oil crude oil trading up 96 cents and 190 you remember I said if this can start to trade over the 112 area and retest and then break above the high that was made on the 24th of March in the crude oil of 116.07 then we're looking at something else then I have to go into the camp that also says well wait a minute the TLT has just made a lower low it's made this incredible arch formation there is some kind of a trend line support but that support let's be really strict about this is it in a jam we've inside track propeller zone it hasn't even come close to the support level it has to drop to about 111 to do that and all I can see is that within the context of what we're looking at here the yields in leg C to the downside the TBT which is on the upside leg C and should still go to a D that means yields should still go even higher it's in leg D right now and it seems to me that put it together with hedge which we're looking at which is the is basically the short side of the market leg D in the TBT leg F in the in hedge leg E in the weekly chart of the TBT and it's saying we're just right at a point where there could be some kind of relief and therefore those base levels that I'm looking at are really critical now there's another thing that I have to talk about I meant to do it yesterday I didn't do it I meant to do the day before I didn't do it and it's something that I I am remiss in keeping in mind because it's my very own thing I haven't got it now I I don't want to do this on the break I've had some trouble for some reason during the night my my computer is shut down either it saves or it doesn't save my trade station if it doesn't save it it's just a big hassle for me I've got to redo the charts and then charts I had done three months ago don't see it goes into a sort of a library and I can never find the exact same thing so what I want you to do is to say let's go to in fact let me do this right now I'm going to go to a blank chart this is technical Friday so I want to do something that's a little bit more technical blank chart TBT also notated but that's not the issue let's go to uh oh let's go to Shopify all right so Shopify on a daily basis is that what are we yeah okay it doesn't matter what we go to now what I've done in my cd uh which is now kind of out of print for people that are really wanting to get it I'll make some kind of arrangement uh you just send me an email um and I'll print a I guess you know a few more print it up but it is a cd and most people don't have cd so I just size it I'm going to put that to rest maybe I'll find the time to do it in a different format but the formats today are so difficult but this is basically what I wanted to say is look when you've got a pattern like this I you know I'm still not happy that's not the one I want let me just find a chart right now this is really important because this is part of the psychology of investing um this is a really important it's a key metric of things that I do certainly in the the one two three four five six seven eight nine ten whatever it is minute charts that I'm studying or even using as trades let me find it here I'm going to go to that right now let me see if I can find a blank one or at least close to a blank one especially had one already is this blank no it's not all right I'll just use this so this is oh I had this Twitter Twitter we were talking about Twitter and I said I would look at it on a 30 minute chart let's go to yes do whatever it doesn't matter look at the chart you don't even have to care what it is I had drawn and I love this I thought it was such a it was just I patted myself on the back and I said are you going to keep that in mind you see this trend line up well when you got a trend when the tide is moving up you can trade which is kind of what we've done for the last week or two on the on the long side you can trade the market down but you better be real quick because when the trend is going up does this arrow look good does this look right it looks absolutely wrong why because the trend is your friend and if you're going up identify it and just go long because if you're wrong when you go long but the tide is going up the tide will save you but if you're wrong when you're short unless you're doing it on a very short basis and we've had a lot of success trading the down on the long side on the long side for all these different moves but the the easiest thing was just to stay on the short side and say hey every rally is going to fail because the tide is going down so yes it can be good you can be I know that I have a lot of traders interday traders who like to do this but I also have people that are intermediate term a lot of people long why people use my work for the bigger picture so I'm kind of saying to myself see that keep in mind that the trend is your friend and look on the downside here you can trade the long side but basically what's happening this tide is going down so as I said don't care about what are you looking at now it happens to be Twitter we're looking at it on a 30 minute basis the trend is your friend trade the trend for the bigger picture on a short-term basis using certain skills yes you can do very nicely if you're correct and they're very short-term the little waves that go in and out but look at the bigger trend so with that said I humble myself and I say uh oh that was the good idea would you count the dollars coming back look at the S&P's coming if you want to take advantage of this

I was a drop the dollar's down to 70 S&P's down 40 trying to come back with a stunning precious test now a couple of things I just wanted to get this out of the way I heard Tommy Junior so so Tommy's show market kickoff he discusses just things that are absolutely pertinent to the market at the moment and he does it with both fundamental and technical analysis terrific show but what he did today that two things that I happened to over here usually when I it's like when I'm actually watch the I don't have a TV in my room in my office for for years now in a way I kind of miss it in a way because it gives me I pick up on I used to be I used to follow the ticker and be a ticker reader all the time and I like that but I also found that just the noise and even if it's on with no volume it's a little distraction but when I do when I'm when I go out the office in the evening and I'm sitting maybe maybe in front of a TV or whatever I'm listening to things but only with half an year because I got my charts and I'm busy doing things and I'm studying what's going on in my own work but you'll pick up some things so what I thought was really nice what I picked up this morning and I wasn't listening to the full conversation you know there's just words that pop out and so oh and then I quickly follow whatever it is two things that he's discussed he discussed the move on the upside and the downside in the S&P and I said yeah I might be wrong but I think I've seen that before but it wasn't within a week so the the point was well made the speed but the other point that I thought was quite important is what happened after those those sharp moves up and sharp moves down there was a pretty decent rally almost in every case that's all I that was one of the things I was looking at the other thing is I've got Shopify here and I was I thought this is the perfect one this is where you can look at the trend look at this the trend from the 1762.92 November high of 2022 and I remember the CEO was with Kramer and was extremely positive that I think within two days of the high and just a knowledgeable young man he just he was he was convincing he was articulate it's just made sense and I remember saying again because I knew someone who had had a big position in Shopify now listen I'm saying wait a minute there's a there's a cup formation and I even remember talking about this in the week the following week and I said look strong technicals back there in July very weak new all-time high in November but weak technicals or weakening and the stochastic barely went above 80% for more than two weeks more like a week and then it pulled back not a good sign well I heard him I think was it yesterday or day before being interviewed again and great earnings and every what's happening with when stocks are out of fashion they are out of fashion and it doesn't matter because the trend the tide has changed I believe that Shopify will be back someday but it'll be made more into something a little different whatever it is and then the good earnings and outlook and everything will push it to the upside I'm not going to be your buyer selling anything I'm just saying this is the chart and I wanted to talk about some of the earnings that have been discussed that I've heard and once again I really I kind of listened with half an ear because it was last night yeah thank you G7 yeah I thought I heard it and I as far as I'm concerned what he was saying made a lot of sense but what he didn't talk about was the reason why it became out of favor as a real darling and tumble from 1762 to today's low of listen if you're sitting if it's sitting I hope you're sitting down to a low of 355 I mean that is I mean that is a really big it is getting close and that's the reason why I'm looking at the at this market and I'm saying I think that we're going to start seeing better sector rotation over the next three weeks but it might just be some recognition that oversold conditions were such that there could be a nice percentage gain but not from where many stocks were now I wanted the other thing that I heard Tommy talking about and I thought oh my I thought about this about six weeks ago and then it just went right out of my mind one of the things I've been talking about for maybe 40 years is at let's just go here to we'll go to Disney although this is really not the example I want to remember go to Disney I mean the chart is not the example that I want to look it almost looks like Shopify a little dreaded H right then fails it makes a lower load today it's trading at 109 down almost three it had a high of 203.02 back in March of 2021 a little over a year ago and yeah it is at 103 so it got cut in half but that's not that wasn't the point at all what Tommy was talking about was guardians of the galaxy and I had never even heard of the guardians of the galaxy that's just the way it is but what I am talking about is within the context of what I look at for the code of phase of markets is that you get accessibility to the nth degree and one of those I'd always spoken about haven't spoken about it for ages in fact some of you here will remember that I'd actually shown diagrams of roller coasters and all that sort of thing going towards the high of 2007 2008 replicating what I talked about in 1999 going to 2000 and all of a sudden you've got this incredibly fast roller coaster and it's just interesting that it's arriving right now there's also interesting that skyscrapers are not quite in vogue anymore but what they have are these skinny towers if you're going if you look at Manhattan and you're looking at the area near Central Park I'm always in Brooklyn so I look across the the I look across the river and I see these really beautiful tall skinny buildings going to higher highs and it's amazing I mean I can't imagine the sway when you're in one I've heard talk about it but you've got to get used to that you get off it's like you've been on a boat you know I take your your sea legs take a little bit to get used to but anyway so it's interesting that this roller coaster comes right at this particular time does that mean to say that we are making a major coda type top well so many of the things that I look for were not there at this particular top it was a top that was made through other circumstances one of the first I mean I've now just almost thrown away all the books I've got I can't even tell you how many dozens and dozens of books I've got articulating the lead up to the great crash after the crash I read just about oh yeah go go break you name it not read it and I've just thrown that away I've said this is at this particular moment there's the last three months I haven't thrown them away I've put them aside I said I'm not going to read those anymore I have to read something else because this decline that we're looking at now are social conditions that's more there are economic conditions that is because we're looking at inflation being the purveyor of slowing down consumer's appetite we're looking at yields and look at the yield I didn't even get to that wow I don't want the date to finish before I do this look at the yields the yields of tbt is up to 30.89 32.48 was the high in october of 2018 stumped down to 3.98 and there it is the 3.91 I'll be back in a moment to do some

saying is that there are conditions now that are so different to the usual coda phases that we get to with the excessive accessibility i would have expected hood to be at highs that's a brokerage company there's something a little different about this not a little bit very different to other top formations that i've seen and that's the reason why i still say i see some intrinsic buying and i see i see the rotation going on a little bit and as long as we can keep key supports regardless of what happens until maybe later there's a you know the the earthquake and then the aftershock until that final aftershock comes and then we can start a much bigger move to the upside that means you've got to be real careful and that's the reason why for subscribers we've got a very high cash position a question about ch c w h this is campers camping world this is what's his name uh he had that show years ago is to watch it was very good um can't remember his name right now uh and he's he's part of this i like it this is a leg a because it's gone to 80 percent in this stochastic i have got i shouldn't really do that i should be strict i'm going to be strict i'm putting a plus sign here i haven't yet got an up area in a single leg a you really need a little more evidence to say that it's gone from a buy signal which it's in right now to a buy mode so right now it's acting really well it's the the summer is in in some places unfolding right now so this should have upside action key key metric right now is to hold the 2780 support it's at 30.62 so put this on your list of something to watch that is acting well in a market like this the other thing we're looking at here so let me just go through a bunch of questions that came in could you please where would you go we were looking at lulu the other day is that still um we're looking weak yes that remember i said it made that high it made that peaky e high in the left side right side price time match it's struggling at the 200 period moving average and the technicals appear to be weakening and well it must have been earnings today is down $28 down 8% at 315.22 so yeah this is and it's not these stocks a lot of the clothing stocks clothing areas are not doing well at this but they were doing well and they're not doing so well so little lemon athletic sports and apparel where not doing well let me just run through my quick oh xlf now this is very interesting yesterday I considered that there was a chance to be looking at some of the financials because it looked to me that for a moment they might be ignoring the the yields going up but at some point it should kick in and then i said nope i don't think so and i looked at bank of america which we've had before many times over the years and had really good really good gains in them and then we've got out and waiting to the for the next buy i decided to wait look at bank of america down 57 cents at 3698 one of the ones that was also on my list was sofi which i've looked at many times for many subscribers and i just said you know it's just digital financial services with mobile applications i just don't know there's a lot of competition out there i don't know it's in the in the in the cross is for moves up right now i'm watching that one because it's so nice low price at six dollars and fifty cents two cents means it can go lower but it means that there's a nice percentage gain even if you've got just a trade to the next leg leg up or next two legs up but no you're not yet so xlf financials be very careful at this particular moment rs was one that i'd spoken about to subscribers i said he's acting really well but i it was part of the steel sector when we're looking at reliance steel but it has aluminum as well it's trading down today down to at 195 it made a high and no matter how i counted that because it had a new buy signal from higher from lower than the previous peak a trough that makes it brand new this is in a leg c but it's not acting very well it's a leg f on the weekly chart leg c in the monthly chart keep your eye because this is one of the really best steel companies out there and i think part of that is because it's got out aluminum in it but look what happened to alcoa it's 98.08 all-time high i don't know if it's all time high anywhere the high on the 25th of march tumbles down to where right now it's sitting on the 200 period exponential moving average of 61.74 so that is really important to monitor question i came i didn't do something yesterday that i should have did that did that oh xhb i haven't looked at that for a while xhb is the spider the s&p homeboulders made a peak c top now this is going to be so interesting because this coincides with the s&p i'm only making a peak b so the monthly chart peak c a really big pullback it can go deeper even from a peak c but it was a peak d and the weekly chart number d is where you start that's your target in a buy mode it can go higher than that per target is at least a d at 86.61 and exact on a weekly basis two weeks with an exact 86.81 high and it comes down a way to go to today's low of 59.89 i keep your eye on this because this is really important if you put this together with the hgx the hgx which is the Philadelphia housing sector index that made a peak b in the monthly chart pullback sharply and it made a peak c minus under the previous high which was a g on the 14th of may at 518.75 so we've come down we made that beautiful cup formation i drew this in i didn't put weak and strong in this particular case it was really strong going to the high of may 2021 at 538 and then it went to a slightly lower high at 531 in december and look at the weakness and the technicals and then it failed and here it is down the low that was made on the eighth i think it was the 7th of april at 388.30 today's low is 39391.00 so just keep your eye on these because it's going to be a big tell in the sector rotation we had this huge move up in the home builders look at this tall brothers there's a more the more pricier homes i believe peak c makes a high at about 70 something but remember this is a stock that once upon a time had a high of uh let's see was yeah that was high back in 2007 it went to 58.67 and then made a plunge to a double bottom low over a period of of two years at 13.55 and back in 2008 to the low of 13.16 the low of october then made a beautiful cup formation within a big rectangle and even the last low was 10 something that was 10 13.28 and it's going to that high that was made at 70 what was that high 75.61 so just keep your eye on these because it's really important to be able to monitor stocks that were of the best ilk in the sectors that were leading and where they are and that's happening all over the show now what i'd say is i believe on a very short let me just give a summation now of what i'm looking at i don't see there was a chance but i didn't put it into my kitty at this particular point to say that unless there was a move with a close almost like yesterday down the low monday could have been just the most horrible rendition of a major cast waterfall cascade i don't think that's in the car's right now because i think that what we've got is a trading ban and we get to the lower part of the trading ban for some reason some money comes in so until the dark trades that 32 800 i think we'll end this just rectangle formation maybe at the lower part of sharpening your skills as an investor is like getting better at playing a musical instrument you

very interesting character i i i he produced good results from what we can see on tv but i i don't know if that's the case but it really looked pretty good anyway that's his company and i like it right now as going against the trend so let me just do this here after the the low that was made with his chaplain wave roman candle back on the 24th of january we had a real choppy sideways move an h pattern that was successful and then there was a rally and it failed to the peak c-minus of 35,824 and then made a slightly lower low from 33,150 down to 32,270 a little bit more than slightly but the close was back above that highs and that's why i say slightly then there was another chaplain wave roman candle with a big pop to the upside and a sharp move down with the retest from 32,272 to 32,578 and then a sharp move up the winter peak d at 35,372 pull back made the cup formation we discussed strong candle on that high that was made around about the 20 whatever it is 24th of march and then april's high of the 24th of i think it was maybe the 28th or so of of april went to 35,492 much weaker technicals and became tumbling down so as i'm looking at it excuse me now there's a chance that we could rally and if we do rally what if we go towards the 32,400s which is like four or five hundred points from here that's a big ask but if there is look the histogram on the magd starting to improve the stochastic is much better than it was a few days ago at 30 that's not to say you couldn't get a tumble by the end of the day anything can happen i'm looking at patterns i'm saying this particular pattern says to me we've done a tremendous amount of testing of the left side low if this is successful we could have a pretty decent rally and it could be a rally that just saves the market and then you've got to be looking at what happens on the next rally or you're starting to see weakening technicals for another turn down and that's the turn down that takes out the 30 000s as absolutely peaceful to hold the gap i'm looking at xom as we go out the best xom i have to call this a leg b at this particular point um it's holding very well if we have to talk about a Monday we want to see the choice


Hey, what's up everyone? Welcome to another video. My name is Dylan and I'm a cycling coach at CTS. And today we're going to be talking about block periodization. Block periodization is a way of organizing your training so that you preload the intensity for your training month at the beginning of the month. So for example, in the first week, you might have five high intensity sessions and then the remaining three weeks, you might just do one session per week. This somewhat an orthodox training method actually looks really promising according to the scientific literature. I'll be going into the science and also my own experience using block periodization and the improvements that I saw from it. So be sure to stick around for that. If you're new to this channel, I make weekly training, racing and gear related videos going over tips and tricks that I've learned in my 12 years of racing experience that have got me to the top of the ultra endurance mountain bike game in the U.S. and as a cycling coach at CTS. If you want to learn how to get faster or just more about the science of training in general, be sure to subscribe. And if you have a training question or a topic you'd like to see me cover in a future video, be sure to leave it in the comments section down below. I do my best to get to all the questions in the comments. All right, let's jump into today's topic, which is block periodization. Now there are multiple ways to perform block periodization, but most of the studies done on block periodization for cycling have subjects perform a high intensity block during the first week of the training month. For example, in this study on block periodization of high intensity intervals, they had the block periodization group perform five high intensity sessions in the first week, followed by three weeks of one high intensity session per week, while the control group did two sessions per week each week. Five interval sessions in a week, huh? Sounds pretty much like what I've been doing on Zwift all winter. The key here is that after the overload week, the following three weeks have a reduced workload to compensate. Not taking this critical detail into consideration could have you easily on the path to overtraining. This is one way to organize block periodization, but it's not the only way. For example, in a five week study on block periodization on elite cross-country skiers, they had the block periodization group perform five high intensity workouts in the first week and three high intensity workouts in the third week, with just one session per week in the second, fourth, and fifth week. The control group for that study stuck mostly to two sessions per week. I'll get into some different ways that you can incorporate block periodization in your training later on in the video, but let's get to the most critical question here, which is, will block periodization actually make you faster? Let's go back to that first study I mentioned. They found that in the block periodization group, mean power during the high intensity workouts increased with each session, along with power at two millimolar lactate, max power, and maximal oxygen consumption. None of these changes occurred in the control group that stuck to a more traditional training pattern. Block periodization is starting to look pretty promising, but that study only observed effects after a month of training. What are the effects if you employ block periodization for a longer period of time? A study looking at the effects of 12 weeks of block periodization on performance in well-trained cyclists took 18 competitive cyclists and divided them into a block periodization group or a traditional training group. The block periodization group performed five high intensity sessions every fourth week and one high intensity session per week during the other weeks, while the traditional group did two sessions per week each week. The block periodization group saw a greater increase in VO2 max, power at two millimolar lactate, hemoglobin mass, and power during a 40-minute time trial. And going back to the study on cross-country skiers and block periodization that I mentioned earlier, they came to the same conclusion with block periodization showing greater increases in maximal oxygen consumption, maximal oxygen uptake, and power at four millimolar lactate. And these findings are backed up by a similar study on cross-country skiers that concluded that block periodization led to better adaptations than traditional training. All right, time to smash myself every day for a week. My Strava followers are gonna be freaking out. The science on block periodization is very promising, but before you hop on the bike and bust out five days of VO2 max intervals back to back, let me make this disclaimer. Blocked periodization is an advanced training technique and should only be attempted by well-trained cyclists. There's a substantial risk of overtraining when you're doing block periodization if you do it incorrectly or when you're not ready for it. If we go back to the 12-week study, they found that cyclists reported heavy legs during the high-intensity blocks while the control group did not experience this. And this is exactly what I found with block periodization too. As you can imagine, after doing a week of five days of high-intensity intervals, your legs are heavy to say the least.  However, if you are a well-trained individual, a high stimulus like this might be necessary. The study goes on to say that it is well known that the better trained the athlete is, the larger stimuli are needed to achieve further improvements and that the larger stimuli of high-intensity training during each of the high-intensity blocks is likely to explain the favorable adaptations to block periodization. There's the science on block periodization, but I'll also take a minute to talk about my own experience with block periodization. I decided this year to employ block periodization in the second week of March. This was because it was a month out from the PISCA stage race, which was a goal race for me, and it gave me plenty of time to recover from the overload week. At this point too, I had also been training all winter, so I was well conditioned to handle the training load. I didn't just jump into block periodization the first week after the off season. I also did this immediately following a rest week so that I'd be well rested for it. Going into a high-intensity block with a substantial amount of fatigue already could be a recipe for overtraining. Alright, so here's what my week looked like. On Monday, I did two 12-minute and two 8-minute threshold intervals. On Tuesday, I did a hard road group ride with attacks and sprints and a whole lot of pulling. I tried to minimize the time I was sitting in as much as I could. On Wednesday, I did three all-out 8-minute efforts. Thursday was a recovery ride. Friday was four 7-minute all-out efforts, and Saturday was the Croatan Buck 50, which is a 150-mile gravel race. I have a whole video analyzing my power file from that race that I'll leave in the description if you want to check it out, but basically during that race, I tried to conserve energy as much as possible until critical sections in the race, in particular the last 20 minutes which was basically a time trial at threshold. This week ended up being a little bit under 21 hours and 1100 TSS. The volume for this week is pretty typical for me, mainly because the Croatan was such a long race. Now, typically, I'd probably cut the volume for a week like this down a little bit, just because the intensity is going to be so high. The TSS for this week is actually not off the charts. I've done many 1000 TSS weeks before, and earlier this year, I did an 1100 TSS week that I think highlights where TSS falls short. Because of the volume of time spent above FTP during the block periodization week, the perceived fatigue level was much higher than the other week that I had 1100 TSS. For comparison's sake, let's take a look at that week. Right off the bat, we can see that I accumulated TSS for this week with volume and not intensity, as I've got almost 30 hours of riding. Now, in theory, after this week, I should feel more tired because the TSS was a little bit higher, and the acute training load was also higher. This was definitely not the case though. The fatigue from the high intensity week had a more delayed onset, but definitely hit a lot harder. What's interesting is that during the week, I actually didn't feel that tired even though I was doing these high intensity days back to back. It's kind of like what riders experience during a stage race. Even though they're racing hard for multiple days on end, they can still produce some of their best power numbers. After that week though, the fatigue was substantial and was right up there with the amount of fatigue that I felt after some of my hardest ultra endurance races. However, as I recovered, I did see some pretty substantial improvements. My best 20 minute power went from 353 watts to 363 watts, which is a big improvement. However, these weren't from 20 minute max tests. Both of these numbers were obtained during a 2x20 interval day. Overall though, I would say that a 10 watt increase in FTP after this block is about right. However, we really start to see bigger improvements when we look at my ability to do shorter efforts. I've been doing a lot of 8 minute max intervals, so I have a lot of good data from that length of time. I was able to get my 8 minute power up from around 380 watts to 415 watts. Now, I use block prioritization in the run up to the Piscus stage race, but the Piscus stage race itself acts as the high intensity week in the block prioritization model for my next a priority race, which is the Marathon National Championships, which is a month after the Piscus stage race. This is important because if you do your high intensity block too close to your a priority race, then you may still be feeling the fatigue from the high intensity week as you enter that race. Yeah, this whole block prioritization thing is pretty much what I already do, Dylan. I smash myself on Tuesday at the group ride. Then I smash myself on Wednesday at the training race. Then I smash myself on Thursday in a Zwift race. And then on Friday, I usually have a recovery ride, but if I run into a Strava segment that I need to get, I'm definitely going to go after it. And then on Saturday and Sunday a race. Oh, and instead of doing this once a month, I actually just do it every single week. When seeing the results of block prioritization, it can be tempting to overdo it. If one overload week is good, then two is better, obviously, right? This couldn't be further from the truth. A study done on interval training at VO2 max took eight runners and had them perform VO2 max intervals once a week, and then over train them by having them perform the intervals three times a week. The results showed that surprisingly, the subjects did not improve after the over training period. And the study concluded that performance did not increase after four weeks of VO2 max intensive training. So what's the difference with this study and the ones that I mentioned earlier? This study pushed the subjects to over training by having them do their overload block for four weeks instead of just keeping it to one week. If you're thinking about trying block prioritization, then let's talk about some different ways that you can go about it. If you've never done block prioritization before, then you might want to start with four high-intensity days in the first week instead of five. Or maybe you could do three high-intensity days during the first week of your training month after your rest week, and then just back it down to two high-intensity days per week after that. If you've got a week-long stage race, then this is a perfect way to do block prioritization. The race itself is the high-intensity block. Of course, using block prioritization is a great way to get ready for stage racing because you're getting your body used to doing high-intensity efforts day after day. And remember that if you're going to try block prioritization, be sure you pay close attention to your fatigue levels. Proper training is a fine line between not enough and too much training, and block prioritization can get dangerously close to the too much side.

There's Hatton in Maggisise, but God that wields the dark mill ne'er has returned. Turn to your question, as the Maggisite movement marches forward, 18,000 strong. Now, what do you set me question, and I assume that you'll have much experience in dating asking me this question, and that's fine. But it is painfully obvious what you should do, but you chose to ask me.  So you second guess yourself when something is obvious. Okay, so for example, this is what the guy asked me in short, there's a real short email. He basically said that there's this girl that he wants to ask out. He's in great shape, but his face is not much to look at. He can tell that she really likes him. What should he do?  What should you do? Ask her out. That's what you should do. You know what that's like me saying? That's like saying, there's this company that wants to hire me. I have all the qualifications, but my typing isn't that great. Well, if I have all the qualifications, and I'm the only one worried about my typing, why don't I just accept the job? You get what I'm saying?   What should you do? Your face apparently has nothing to do with the situation.  She already wants you.  You see that? You're worried about something that the girl isn't even worried about. You get what I'm saying? That's why I'm saying fear must be paralyzing you, making your logic center malfunction.   It was my fault. And I got praised for pulling this girl. I mean, praised. This was just like, yo, it's our room and that girl is bad. I mean, this is what happened. There was this club that I used to frequent a few years ago, right?  I was around 21, 20 or 21. And it was this club I used to go to. And when I would get there, there was this girl that was always staring at me, always staring at me. And she looked good. She was bad for weeks on end. Every single Friday I'd be at the club and she'd be staring at me every single time. Do you realize that there are men that would have been at the club one night? Saw her staring and approached. No. I said, I can guess myself. What should I do? Does she really like me? Does she really want me? Does she really want me? It took me literally almost two months of Fridays of her staring at me for me to finally approach. Two months. Do you know what could have happened in that time? She could have got a boyfriend. And I just said, fuck, she's staring at me so much. I'm just going to walk up to her. And she was literally with another guy. He was holding her like she was his, but he was only a friend. And I knew he had to be only a friend for her to be staring at me like that.  She was like, okay. That was it. I saw her when we were all leaving. I asked her for her number. She was like, no, let me take yours. I was like, what? You think I'm pretty? She was like, no, I just want to take yours. She called me the very next morning. There you go. Okay. My insecurities, my shortcomings that I was so worried about. She was not. You understand that? When someone wants you, they want you. If you, if your judgment is clear, okay?  Guys think a girl wants them and they really don't.  Okay. Understand that. I will never in my life turn down a woman that wants me and I'm concerned about something else.  I didn't get cut enough yet. What if she wants to have sex on the first date and my abs ain't totally etched? I mean, you get what I'm saying?  She don't care. She doesn't care. You know, and girls do the same thing. I've heard that girls sometimes will avoid a guy or won't go out with him because they're afraid of how much weight they have. Or, you know, whatever it is, they have this insecurity.  He smiles at you. He says hello. He talks to you. He takes time to talk to you.  And he's already a guy you would want. You see, the girl at the club was bad as hell. I've seen her recently.  But back then, she was bad.  Oh, she never became my girlfriend because guess what? The fear seeped into the beginning of us getting to know each other. Never kissed her. Never got romantic with her. Guess what?   She gave me so many signals that, you know, it was a live movie.  Kiss her! Do something! You get what I'm saying? So I'm done answering this question. Alright, fellas, do not deny the obvious. Do not let the obvious go, okay? Because if a girl wants you, once you really learn to sink in with that gut feeling, you're gonna know. If you know, then if you want to ask her out. If you don't want to ask her out, then don't.

Let's go Starbucks I have a question at what age did you guys stop ordering vanilla bean frappuccinos?  Oh? Yeah, I have them ha ha We're never leaving you're walking to the beach. So we're going to the beach just to lay there Drink our Starbucks eat some bagels read watch the sunset. It's a great summer night Very very very very very vital part of this would be obviously the playlist if you want to spot This is a great song if you guys know what the song is comment down below Beach Buddhist Park have my big IMG a jacket my beach blanket. I'm ready to go This feels like at my ice try it makes no sense. I know This is my favorite time. It's sunset. It's so beautiful Okay, these are my beach must haves.  You keep it down guys Okay, so my book that I'm currently reading Jonathan Martin my favorite pastor ever love that guy Just some cameras. I'll have these linked down below a bagel some Starbucks. Yeah, just chill It's a great time Freezing it's really cold the sun is setting second favorite time, but I got my bite agave lip mask this stuff is The best Wow, literally I put all my friends on this everyone has is it's the best thing ever, okay? Heading back home. Actually, no, we're going to talk about We're having here tonight everyone Made it to Taco Bell And to talk about these folks here. Yes, there we go.
