All right, it apparently my man Joe is probably still cooking up his beer chicken not thinking I'm done yet Joe we're yet son Did flip the grill bro flip the grill and let's talk some stock Joe do I thought you're inside a land man here. Let me just add you Once that way alright Joe you can talk now and I'll promote you to a panelist as well What's up, bro, what is up, man? How you doing? Well Dude, let me let me tell you something like bro every I swear to God man I am like the most supportive do the word if I see that someone has put together something that I think is really wonderful I'm like the number one person to cheerleading give them credit bro Your boot camp on options is so unbelievable like I'm like speechless dude.  Let me let me go the videos. I'll show them how to access it Yep, so the options boot camp is is four episodes of Really truly four episodes and then there's some extracurricular Courses in there that you can watch but go to page two. This is the very beginning of it or Yeah Part one part two part three part four Two of the dudes in the large cap room that are options traders as well helped put this together So it it is a very very very very structured power point on Teaches you how options are priced to how to understand what you're reading pretty much from ground zero and What I want everybody to understand When it comes down to options me and Tosh talked about this yesterday Well, the fucker finally convinced me after a year duty is in my ear every week like bro Why aren't you doing options with me and Brian? I'm like, all right man hold my beer bro, it It's So the purpose of of the options that you trade are They are just instruments To trade you don't have to worry about I have to exercise my shares to get this Contract to get this do do do do do do do they're just They're just instruments to trade the volatility Yep, so That's That that's it and so just like we use stocks we use stocks is just As just little trading instruments things to capture the volatility from those Options are the same way except it's a leveraged instrument and so Because the eye-opener for me dude with options was like guys if you really don't take the time to actually understand even the most Basic things about options.  It's an instrument So if you want to trade a $600 stock like Netflix you might be able to trade the option of it Which is kind of just like trading the stock, but dude it might be priced at $10 Meaning think about the buying power you would need to have to trade Netflix versus the buying power of a $10 stock with the underlying I'm sorry a $10 premium or option with the underlying would be a $600 ticker That's the whole point you get to trade anything you want and I mean I'm wrong Joe But then you don't have things like the frickin pattern day trader rule, right?  I don't care what it is if you don't need to do any of that stuff They're just vehicles. So think back. I've compared this yesterday with Tosh think back to when you know like OTCs now OTCs the odd the the volume has died, right? There's no liquidity or very little liquidity to trade any kind of size on those with any kind of confidence unless you're trading like GVTC for Bitcoin and so With Robin Hooders coming into the market and these retailers that don't understand anything and they just go in and what they do is they go long options They go buy options and so these These uneducated traders have provided more liquidity in the options world than there ever was Three four or five years ago like I used to I I looked into options before and I was like man There's just no freaking liquidity here unless I trade like spy and I didn't want to trade the spy and I didn't really understand very much about it And so slowly as time went on back in 2019 Back in 2019 man options volume skyrocketed because a lot More market participants are in that market Account yeah, we got Robin Hood all that stuff Dude, I put just for the fun of it and I'll tell you guys this because I'm gonna release the results eventually, but I'm doing this for To show what you can do with with for all the small account people I put 1500 bucks in an account Like 45 days ago Yeah And I've been trading one contract in that account So like I take trades and then I'll take trades in that small account I just like one contract in this one and then other trades in the other one And for those who don't know that one contract is a hundred shares Yeah in that small account 1500 bucks. I've already doubled it That's freaking sick. He's in 45 days using using imagine like in stocks If you were like I use a hundred shares max and I've doubled my account How long is it gonna take you to do that on the long side in small caps without getting lucky? I have no god lucky in any of these trades. I have not made like 10 fold on any of these trades Well and guys that's the whole reason why I wanted to bring this up today right is because you guys have to understand If you're in a service where they're only trading really really really big money That's impossible to replicate right like if you're trading but your guru has a four billion dollar account and you know The p&l's are really sexy and they're big and they're kind of crazy. I mean look, dude It's like that's not going to be relatable for like the little guy right and like m. I see was built man Two and a half years ago to give every single trader no matter who you are a fighting chance in the markets In fact, dude We like I would venture to say that we actually cater to More even the little guy because it's like dude even guys with 500 or accounts We have every single resource and now that's why I really wanted to take attention And put it even to the options courses You guys got to understand man if you have 500 dollars and you want to fighting chance in the market We hear that dude. That's what we're here to do. We're here to give everybody that opportunity And that's why I'm like guys if I'm serious man If maybe small caps is not your thing or big caps you just Really just don't have the buying power because I understand that you really can't trade Netflix with a thousand dollars Well, now you can with options and that's why I wanted to even learn it myself So I can help you Joe and more like like dude guys This actually works and this is why I like it and this is an alternative to learn or make money It's like if you guys Have an opportunity Where you want to make money or learn something we are here to provide everything for you That's why we're doing this and that's why we did it and you know, like I said Joe's results the way he keeps it simple Um, you know, we we just dude We want the goal of m. I see is to get every single trader a fighting chance to make Not not even just make a living at trading dude Because everybody's promising you the lambos in the flash and and you could party with all the celebrities and influence dude It's not about that It's about we want you to be able to supplement your income So you're less stressed in your life to maybe one day and a lot of our guys have To actually quit your job if you wanted to and make it a full-time living like Faye or or Joe or so many people tom diesel over the years and and the funny part is is we actually tell them Not to quit their careers Bro, I will say this go on as as someone that had a career And went full-time as a trader I'm gonna tell everybody that wants to do that right now and i'm gonna probably crush your dreams Uh, it's the stupidest thing you'll ever do in your entire life Lament do not do not quit. Do not quit your job The goal in life is and I know you all want to probably quit your job because you want to be free of the man Right. I agree with that 1 000 percent.  You can't just trade add some Just trade financial drip Exactly you have to have other streams of income me.  Well, sorry guys, but I'm gonna be an m. I see in 10 years Joe, let me say it like this bro. Let retired. Joe.  We have the opening morning. We have zombie art We have a timetable and strategies aligned to every timetable that no matter what your job is or your schedule You can benefit in coming to m. I see and learn how to make money and that's why I even brought up the options If you guys can swing month-long strike price contracts and kind of let the money work for you And here's the reason why Joe was just saying don't quit your job Say you get to the point and you will a lot of people have I mean shit man Look at our testimonials pages. It's unbelievable. Dude. How many it's like overwhelming at times like we're like, holy shit, dude But the point is is if you figure out how to like full-on replace your income with trading right Trading an hour a day. See it's the same money. Why wouldn't you just trade an hour?   It's crazy how much opportunity there is Dude, I've worked. I've always had a job my entire life Tosh probably not maybe at a juice store.  I literally broke like it like it was crazy man my whole life I'm 30s for like 27 years, dude, and it was just it was non-stop, dude Even when I was trying to was at the original smoothie king In fact when there was mullets Now I gotta own the smoothie places man. See that's that's the real goal. It's like open up smoothies shops now Skinny jeans are expensive Dude skinny jeans are hella expensive now I love it though every time I see like even like all the people all my friends Even like ballet. I know everybody's gravitating towards the skinnies man. I'm telling you it's a pandemic It's an epidemic of skinny jeans bro.  I got one I got one nut split on the left side one nut split on the right side My legs all cramped up.  No, dude. I'm kidding. Joe's saying I can't tell if they're skinny jeans on tasha lulu lemon. I'm like, well Don't don't give away all my touch doesn't wear pants bro.  I can't fit in skinny jeans. Hey, like moving on. I got you. Oh, dude. I got your build Is this the opposite Me right there right there. Yeah, that's me. See this is joe and this is me Yes, yes, that's so funny, bro. No, it's funny man because like in high school, dude I used to work out a lot and I was actually kind of a big guy but like I never worked out legs, dude So I literally look like this man. I was like never skip leg day. I always skip leg day. I hated leg day But like my best friend now 16 years. He is the opposite of this. So he's like he's got like tree trunk legs that are buff I'm like Hey man to each his own bro. I just hated leg day Hey Chris I'm gonna question for you since you live in the backwoods of georgia I got a question and you may know the answer to this but to though to any of you that have lived in the country before Been been near it. Why do People that wear like wrangler jeans like why do they like pull their pant leg up above their At the top of their boot and then tuck it in. I know what it's for Like I know it's for when when you ride horses. I believe me. I grew up in the country So it's for when you ride horses.  What are people gonna do?  Bro, like what are these people thinking? I was in there the other day and there was some dude with his boots tucked into his jeans on only the inside leg Like the inside of his pant leg was tucked into his jeans And i'm like, dude, what what are these What are these guys doing?      Joe started on that man So I want to show everybody this pull up the netflix calls Can you do that? Can somebody tell tell us what the I don't have thinkers from open I'm actually sitting here eating lunch Can you tell us what the netflix call tag is I think it's like it's like dot nfl Oh, there it is. So on the 600s right click on those calls Right here on the left. No left. Go left. Oh the calls. Oh, the calls. See, I'm new to this place as well, man Right click 600 right here right click right click No, right click.  I'm on a laptop Okay copy All right Yep, and then go to your chart fixed All right, guys Here's what I want to show you the potential of options.   All right, so This is what happened at the open So you can see that the 600 calls tanked right at the open Okay, they gapped up massive from less than a dollar to 450 And then at the open they washed out to a dollar 50 and then in seconds In seconds they were I longed them at 260 and sold them at four bucks in a matter of seconds like probably 45 seconds as as long as I was in the trade Went long at 260 sold them at four And I what is that percentage like so you 60 percent 70 percent and you're saying you sold them right here At four bucks. Wow yep, and And then I re-bought and I re-bought them on the dip And risked a portion of what I made and then I had to stop out when it broke down, but the point is I risked barely Anything how do you know? How do you know to sell of the main stock or the options like the main stock chart? So I'm just looking at the underlying stock chart And I'm just looking at the bid and the ask on the options So like when the underlying stock hits my lines, I just know what strike I want to buy And so I buy that strike and then when the stock bounces back into my lines I sell my options and the options have increased in values since that bounce etc etc, but So the this trade lasted for literally I swear to you like 45 seconds maybe a minute I mean I mean I last longer in the bedroom than I than that trade lasted and that's saying he thinks he does Yeah Is there some kind of automatic thing or do you do manual correlation trade? There's no there's no So the correlation that you're asking about is delta So the delta People have probably heard that all delta means is How much the option is going to move? For every one dollar move in the stock on the underlying Netflix Yeah, if so if netflix goes from 560 to 561 My option will increase from 2 to 220 if the delta is 20 cents We're just using like easy numbers here, right and the closer you get to your strike price that thing just Exponentially moves quicker and more. Yeah, exactly now if Yeah, you can't use fantasy orders No, no, you can't use fantasy orders But um, I still add liquidity. So I still like when the stock is dropping I will put my orders on the bid or like one tick below the bid So that I catch the panic and I catch that that volatility And then I get the bounce but you can't set fantasy orders. I wish you could Sometimes you can But most of the time you have to kind of pay attention when you're entering so Yeah, but anyway, my point to this is you know, it is This is the potential of this like I traded netflix and it cost me less than a thousand dollars to make this trade and I made Whatever whatever 260 to four dollars is percentage wise. I think that's like 60 or 70 percent I in in a matter of like a minute 15 minutes into the market open and I'm done for the day. Like I was gone. I left Stop trading after I bought the dip and took it and took a small and gave back Like I gave about like 30 percent of what I made And and so I was like and I'm gone So I made one trade made my money tried again and then had to stop out and then I was done I was like, that's a wrap It's a sick day, right? It's super quick man super volatile. It's super quick to be time at right and you know Like joe always says man on on options, man You don't want to do the day before the earnings but the day after earnings or the day You know the day after earnings man, it's super volatile and you need to expect to move like netflix did with the continuation that it had So did I trade plug off of the 64 line or were you too focused on? Yeah, I was too focused on netflix And I just made my money on netflix and so I was like, all right I ain't about to go and start looking for more trades Like I start that's kind of my that's my kryptonite is once I make my money Like I make my daily nut. I have a really hard time pushing myself Because you know, I got a wife. I got kids.  I don't want to give it back And so I I'm just like if the trade is not super clear to me, I'm just going to skip it like and move on That's brisket money, baby. That is brisket money locked in I don't buy a fuckload of brisket. Let me tell you Dude listen to this So there were such heavy wins in california say my buddy that lives in l.a I don't know why this reminded me, but I'm on facetime with him. He goes bro. Look at this. They're 80 mile per hour wins, right?  Somebody asks what's the usual risk percentage for options So for me I use 50 percent of whatever I buy of the freeing Yeah, so if the if the cost of the option is two bucks Like I'm willing to take enough size in the option That I am willing to let the option lose 50 percent of its value Okay, that doesn't mean that's where my stop loss is all the time. That's where my max loss is Now my stop loss I base it Some most of the time I base it on the the stock chart so like netflix. I'll base it on the stock chart But sometimes when you're buying panic I mean you don't really have a stop And so you just have to along it and size in according knowing that You could take a 50 loss here in a blink of an eye, but Let me tell you how many times that's happened one In the last year That that's happened that I lost like 50 in like two minutes.  No, but that's that's the thing across the board of anything man small caps can Just watch the options boot camp.  Yeah, joe is a pure options trader man. That's that's the cool part. Um Dude, I've honestly stopped day trading like this was just a day trade for me I will still day trade, but I'm not looking for it every day I've actually been swing trading more but I use options to swing trade, but I'm 1100 percent Using options in my trading. I've almost I've been placed in equity trade in Six months Well, and that's the coolest part man It's like it's like you've got to find what works for you right and like time schedule and stuff and joe is telling me Dude, it's like look he's got a newborn man.  Do you like it like like I want to get some feedback man Who's watched the option course? Seriously? I know I saw a couple you guys say that you did like it But like what are your thoughts jc jc m i c has um Nice nice.     I'm starting to learn this I care about this. I love this. This makes sense. This feels right.  That's amazing and cloudio is having to run a life right now Um, it's great. I never scroll up. I saw a couple questions that people had in here about options Yeah Says do you use right there down more Bond's question. Do you use? Weekly or the next week expiration options? I use weekly Weekly if i'm day trading if i'm day trading. I use weekly if i'm swinging. I use monthly Well, joe you said it that's right If you're if you're day trading you want this current week But if you're swing trading you want the months because it wouldn't make sense to do a day trade two weeks from now When the expirations are so far that your premiums are worth dog shit, right? Exactly. Yeah, they're just not gonna move as much That's gonna be sure Yeah, do you want look dude? You want you guys got to take what you learned in stock trading and apply it to options if you do options You want liquidity. You want volatility. You want movement.  There's no open interest.  Well, nobody's into that dude. Even if it goes your way. Where's the where's the delta? Where's the money like you're not going to get the fluid move you do and because nobody's in those contracts and premiums It's fun. They're worthless dude if they pay you at all Yep, so yeah What I would recommend and people always ask this question should I should I start with options? Or should I start with small caps? It doesn't matter what market you start with it matters the process you start with The process is that analyzing a stock chart Means everything You don't need to trade in order to learn you need to learn to trade and the only way that you learn To trade is you learn the mic process of drawing lines How to properly do it and not and not do it the janky way like a lot of other places try to teach Do it the way that we teach, okay Learn these make watch lists for yourself like I do Put them post them somewhere write them in a journal Fucking put them in your diary tuck it under the other side of the bed, you know, whatever you want to do But you have to start with a process and then you start With whatever instrument you want to trade as long as you if you have a process that makes money It doesn't matter whether you trade forex crypto options futures stocks Commodities I I really don't it does not matter what you trade as long as there's a process Forex, huh That looks like so there's hope bro the the lines work in forex too Do they do I've never traded forex, but just for the fun of it I've drawn some lines in forex and I was like that's a line. That's a line.  He's like, man.  I'm neck deep in this No, I will never bro. I will never go to forex I will never go to forex because what's the think about it the forex is the opposite of options Options the instrument is leveraged right what you're trading is leveraged.  Yeah, you are x moves in that small. No. Yeah, that's true and they call it pips It's so small that you have to use massive size to get any money out of it What I want to do bro is I want to use 400 bucks and I want to make a thousand dollars And you want to make 200 exactly dude. Yeah, I don't want to use 40 thousand dollars And make four dollars. Dude, and that's a lot of dude.    That's why I don't trade cryptos because I'm a pair.   Right is exactly what joe said we want to risk The least amount of money with the least amount of stress to make the most amount of money man That's the beauty of outer lines right so like every day We're drawing our levels this morning man.  I'm getting greedy This was on the watch list this morning of gevo dude outer lines were the nine level alex was saying this all morning That's the expected move. This didn't make it this totally made it, but it did it more Um in the immediate open, you know n d r a expect outer lines man You're risking a lot less than what you can theoretically make on the move down Right even outer lines on this one ask it like this is the shit that we teach every day man And then obl and I was telling people you know stay away all day the point is it's like Are you using a two million dollar account to make 50 grand or are you using like what joe was saying? Are you using a four hundred dollar position in options to flip for $1,200 man? Sometimes even like 700 percent moves and maybe maybe you get a $2,700 trade whatever I you know, I'm I'm even new to option so joe can definitely tell you better than that But the point is we do this in small caps as well guys whatever size you use we're willing to risk a little to make a lot This is our whole teaching. This is why we do what we do is to make sure you guys are safe Like that's what i'm trying to say here So with the options thing it's giving very small account guys the ability to now risk Tiny micro micro money and actually make decent money man imagine joe like how Because I know in small caps, but like obviously I'm more new to options What would you say dude?  Oh, that's what I wait for.  I'm tempted. Oh nice Look at the volume on it.  That's a death candle. But dude, look at this Oh, Jesus. No, that's not it That's that's the waterfall bro. Look at this. Look at this. Yeah, this is a great explanation guys The death candle is through vwap You have you have twice the amount of distance to vwap, dude This these are long like bow just said committing suicide, but here's the thing, dude I still I'm not comfortable with it Like I wouldn't race into this or hit it on a pop right now because it's it's just no, I'm good, dude I'm good. Look how far above vwap it still is the size of the death candle That's still the room to get to vwap now if this went from 1054 to freaking 640 dude.   I'm hitting pops But this is this could be a trap in the making dude Especially because we're in the last hour of the day.  Look at that. Look at that bounce right off the nine line It's crazy like right there dude right there all this consolidation like just boom right there saved it nine Let's see what it does But guys, here's the thing and I want to make this very clear because I always talk about the mc vision The mc process kind of what we're here to do I am not here to make you rich I am here to give you a fighting chance and through consistency. It is your job to make you rich I will teach you how to make a hundred dollars a day And then the hundred dollar a day blueprint goes to a thousand a thousand goes to ten thousand whatever The point is process inconsistency is the ability to get rich.   I'm like alex. I think you're good, dude Alex you're good, bro The point is guys is we're not alex and alex is alex will be like no, man I'm good when I'm I'm good when I'm talking about I'm when I'm having these webinars from a private jet That I own on my own duty that I own on my own landing strip alex is Now he's texting us.   Yeah The landing strip sounds nice. Oh, yeah, I know what yeah, I bet it does I bet it does we all know Save that for uh after the market close.     This looks like a short trap for sure Absolutely Oliver's like tomorrow, probably 20s.  We'll see freaking 30 Come here comedy and training class Yeah, dude One day, uh, we'll do it. We'll do a video session. Joe will show you his assless chaps Dude, I'm telling you right now When when I see a guy, you know that reaches out to me is like he talks I got a 1500 account $1,500 account. What can I do?  We listen to the general consensus of suggestions What you need how to make a community better and this is why I'm even trying to learn options and help Joe Dude, it's like I want to help you guys get to that level of supplemental income because maybe you don't resonate with small caps Maybe you don't resonate with big caps. Maybe that's going to be the underlying factor that gets you where you need to go in the markets, right? So in my opinion if you have If you have a small account, you're doomed in small caps I'm sorry. I'm gonna say it and it's probably bad publicity But you're doomed. I'm sorry. It's the reality. I honestly I have more interest in helping people Find the right market to trade with with their account size and their personality than I do about Getting more subscribers to mic. I don't care about that. I care about the people that are here already Growing from there and here's the point here's the point guys Like when it comes to small size like hey, toss I have a $2,000 account would mic benefit me Look, dude, I tell people all the time. Look, man, you might want to save up a little more for trading But that's trading you can come into mic, bro with an annual membership and learn everything for a year While you go grind at your job save 5k come back and dude by the time you have that money You have put in a full fucking education on how to trade Paper trade the whole time while you're building a real account and getting the money But you now have the education first and at the end of the day mic is a University, dude, this is like college of trading, bro So when it comes to learning material and learning how to make a full-time living Or even practicing on a paper account with real traders doing this man side by side and guiding you And helping you with your training wheels on that is absolutely priceless And you know, so like when someone comes to me and they're like, dude, I've got $2,000 to my name I'll come to mic when I have more money. I gotta trade this.  It's said service then have no money and come back to bow and say, can you help me? Can you educate me?  We're nice guys. Yeah It's that's that's what That's what I've tried to um That's what I'm trying to say is it like bow just said there the process is similar for small caps options um And large caps The point Is that it does not matter how much money you have Don't not join m.  I don't care equity stock futures commodities I don't care. It doesn't the crypto. I don't care if you don't have a process You have no process whatsoever You just just take that account And just hand it over to somebody that's gonna make good use of it You know like an animal shelter, dude, I'm gonna tell you right now.  It doesn't matter.  Well guys. I have I have I have a question for those that shorted out OBL in today Are you a member of m-i-c?  He says I'm not focused on this stock. I am not focused on this stock I am not focused on OBL. Maybe 13 times.  I'm already I don't want to waste the money. Yeah, I've already don't want to mace the money. I gotta make a trade I gotta find something.  What did I say all morning? I said this is not a stock, dude That is either a broken or has the kind of meat that I want to see on the proverbial You know steak bone, right?  Just a nice stuff candle. I stayed away from stayed away from a teeter around VWAP Of course hovers makes love to VWAP making out. Boom.  Now you're really in trouble. Dude.  We're blunt because we actually want you to succeed We never ever take any kind of joy or satisfaction in one side losing money Dude, we are a trader. We are a trading community based on half longs and half shorts Meaning I take joy in the other side losing money if I'm on the other side No one ever takes joy of when one side loses money. We give it time If this is a long I'm not wanting harry to lose so I can bank on short I'm letting him have his time in the sun until maybe I get a death candle, you know through VWAP and now it's my time That's the whole point guys or On all the broken ones If me and harry entered at the exact same time I would absolutely want him to lose money if I was short and he was long I would absolutely want to lose money. I'm sorry At the exact same average Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, but there's time The point is the point is When you have process both sides can prosper That's the beauty of what process is and that's the beauty of actually understanding a stock chart versus just having a private agenda of I'm accumulating accumulating accumulating a long position.   What you got? Uh real quick real quick before we talk about this What's funny? What's funny to me is obl in right is up like what like 300 percent today? Uh something like that 400. Oh, yeah Jesus Christ 482 Yeah, this happens like once a week in options Joe this happens like once 200 I get 700 once a week Bro, it's it dude it Nobody has faith in longing these setups because we all know where they go back But large caps you get this same type of big volatility And it's a real fucking company that you can long and have faith in correct Like netflix today you could have bought the auctions as low as a dollar. You're probably not gonna get it Let's say you bought them Even if it let's say you did buy them at a dollar just to just to make it really drastic right one remember They are now trading at six bucks Guys you have to and you have to understand three to four four to five five It's a 500 move. Well, and joe let's let's really like explain this what this is for people who are just truly don't understand guys Let me represent trading netflix today That's 500 intraday not overnight. That's 500 intraday. I mean joe. Let's go to the absolute basis guys This is the option and the premium that you're trading of netflix. This is like trading netflix today But it's two and four and seven dollars. That's what we're trying to say to you guys You're trading netflix through this Yep Like and so it's it's just an instrument. You just use this instrument to profit The same way you would profit from a stock chart You use this instrument to trade that and get the bigger gains In risking less money. How sick is that man? It's and so it that's what that's what Yeah, so Yeah, seriously Um, so do you guys have any small cap questions? We can delve into small caps We can delve into whatever you guys want. We just kind of want to introduce options today because it's something It's just it's unbelievable, man But let's let's talk you guys have any questions about small caps for a random day like I mean, let's let's think about let's think about oblin too.  No, that's my point How many times have we regurgitated the lessons that oblin is teaching us today?    It's still holding so again, man We teach you this dude. There are ways to stay safe. Can you get a trade out of this? Sure But what's your odds of success dude?   What are we? Here, what are we talking about here real quick real quick? Givo on the short side before we do I can't remember. Yep. Oh, hello from the watch list this morning from alex This had an offering as well, but notice the shorter pop So I will be looking towards nine to shorty pop towards nine if we get it on an ssr bounce For those who are not familiar with which me and joe regurgitate every single day When a stock opens up or above or just below and kind of hugging vwap on the open You got to use outer lines. What are outer lines where the previous tops were hey Hole in half dollar number coupling factor boom Maybe this is the top line that you'd want to risk I don't know if you'd want to risk a full dollar But this is the scale zone and by the way nine coincides with this previous top and guess what we get in the morning Off the watch list like every single day that can pay your membership in a nutshell a pop to the outer line of nine Fail break into nearly eight and that's it base hits every single day dude. That's your expected move So the guy that wanted us to review that what happened in your trade What happened? Oh, that's a great. Yeah, that's a great. Yeah, let's that's great Why why was it a loss? What what turned what what made that a loss compared to the rest? Uh, yeah, tin. Let us know man. I got in early too early. Okay Okay, well there there. I mean there's your answer right there. You gotta you gotta check your discipline if you like to say in the nine line It's nine line Tin i'm not sure if you're reading these every single morning But and not to single you out brother just anybody who's not reading these in the morning or watching the video that sometimes accompanies this Dude, I mean it was bro. It was we laid it out, bro Yep, it was the nine line. It's it's right there and it's not I mean I mean you openly said I lost on it and hey, that's fine If you can openly say I took a loss on this you are absolutely One step closer to being a profitable trader if you can be a real Yeah, if you can be real with yourself and not get offended but by some current by some constructive criticism Maybe it can sound a little harsh, but I mean if you don't Uh, never mind. I'm not gonna. So that I'll give a good comparison. I'll give a good comparison Joe, let me give a good comparison and put myself on the chalk chopping block Dude, I called up joe the other day and he did a 50 minute screen share with me because I'm like, bro I just watched your first four episodes of boot camp Obviously, I don't know much about options. Can I ask you every single question in the book? But here's the here's the benefit. I'm a beginner in options But also I have seven years of small cap and big cap You know price action knowledge and I know how to trade those and I do those well So the point is it's going to be a lot easier for me because I have the foundation of how a stock moves Which that really is the first part. But dude, you have to understand. I'm even admit I'm sucking up my ego and going dude I may have to do just one contract for a month while I learn options because it's actually a very different language And even the executions are very different while I get up to speed again Everything is the elimination of ego, man.  I said, teach me young I'll be your panel one man. Fucking teach me dog That's the whole point, man So Givo the I want my ego sucked So Givo all the the Lesson here in your trade 10 is is the Is the lack of discipline in the trade and not waiting for the lines, which is you can fix you can fix I mean, it's it's this recognition that I got in early. Okay, fine. Don't do it on the next trade.  It takes discipline We're not the smartest guys in the world But we know nine is the line because this has come down big it needs a nice jump. It's opening on VWAP That's the whole and half dollar number. You shouldn't be getting in here right here, bro That is a FOMO trade. It's got to come up to this resistance point this the volume It's stuck right here. So you've got to wait for that man. You got to wait for that, bro Yep And this trade honestly probably would have been kind of hard because if you Yes, the pivots are the oh my god. Look at that pivot point By the way, this is 10 if you're having any trouble, bro Like just not to single you out man. Just anybody if you're having any trouble with discipline, man Or forming your own opinion. I'm saying like dude use alex's watch this as a guy, but where's the pivot, bro? On day two low hangers you use pivot lines. Where's the pivot boom? That just solidifies your nine line. Yeah, and I didn't even look at pivots today, dude That's how much it solidifies your nine line. Like I literally that's the first time I saw the pivots today This trade honestly would have probably been kind of hard to to like easily do because When you hit the nine line, you're going to be probably shorting it at like 897 something like that but You know where where do you stop out in this case? That's the question you have to ask yourself for me um I don't really see a clear stop until 10 Yep, that's what I was saying gel. So I always give myself to the next top. I give top. Yeah, these were the ping pong tops I would have had to size in on this Like at nine with the understanding that it could go to 10 and now look at look at the closer On the intraday level. Sorry bud one sec. All good And like look at when it pops into nine And you'll see this When it pops into nine Then you get the big wick on the uh the first pop into nine Some of this right there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yep.  I don't know what I'm gonna do So if you didn't take anything off on that dip Um and the dip's not that big. What is it like 10 cents? Yeah, you make like 10 cents um 10 cents on a nine dollar stock is I mean that's kind of shitty But I mean just to be 100 with you, but 10 cents is 10 cents if you can easily make 10 cents so I can take it um but the the The point I'm trying to make is if it breaks to a new high of the day like that And I've sized in with the understanding that hey, I'm I can I can take this size Up to 10 bucks and I can lose that dollar and be okay with it But once it shows its hand and it shows this stuff You see the stuff move it breaks to the new high of the day and gets stuffed right there That's when you got to whack it You got to whack it right there and you got to move your stop down to a new high of the day super tight stop then Super tight stop and you got to whack it And then and then your goal is bwap to cover it It's actually so Yeah, the the initial trade is like I've got a super fucking wide stop so God damn bell And so um Yeah, the the stuff moved back into that that's when you have to that's when you have to size in You have to get rid of the dollar risk and then you have to size into the trade At that point and tighten the stop loss and then your risk reward vastly improves Because people are going to be like well when you initially get into a trade buying you risk in the dollar that sounds like terrible risk reward That doesn't mean i'm going to have a fucking dollar worth of risk the entire trade Like i'm just sizing in in the beginning to get an entry And then I let the chart form While still keeping my risk intact bingo bingo any more questions guys Any more question is oh did somebody say uh, what was the other one c lbs somebody asked lbs so clbs again again, man In the morning. I drew my outer lines, right? This is what I do every so much. Where's top top top top Here's my scale zone. I only want this dude When you're not gonna be a land taking when you get your base hit, bro You got to take it. This is the expected move you get like one to two of these a day per ticker if that man And it's usually one so this is the outer line cover the v-wap drop like joe just said when you see exactly bro So here's the thing When you uh nice bow very nice Um, then when you get too greeny this happens a lot man, and we are in a market where things zombie, man So after that expected move, bro, you are at risk for getting totally squeezed because we're in a market Where a lot of volume is coming in and remember i'll give it i'll give a nugget away real quick, but for those who are listening you're lucky What did me and harry talk about all the time, but harry simplified it so perfectly this week There's not much volume pre-market.   So if i'm shorting anywhere in here I'm covering for that base hit and that's all I want dude Joe let's check let's take a look at your your watch list real quick really quick on clbs before we do that If you don't understand volume Me and tasha talked about this a million times and harry's talked about this If you if you don't understand volume or how to read it um Look at this when it is pre-market. What is it doing?  What do we call that? It's a 50 50 vwap. Yep move There's no edge.  You got to be super quick. You got to be super quick. This is what happens. This is what happens You go. Oh dude. Okay boom now. It's under vwap right here wick boom reclaim. You're done while you're trying to get greedy and ride This to three You got to be like bow in the bedroom minute, man You got to be a they didn't they didn't just have minute men in the revolutionary war Dude two pumps and you're out man strike one strike two and out of the ball game, bro All right, where we at joe. Let's talk about your watch list every single day, buddy Um, I mean, what do you want to talk about? I mean, you know those those are the lines I just every day I put out a watch list. Okay, sir Yeah, every day I put out a watch list for large caps and those are the lines and whether you trade Where do you trade equity or whether you trade? options To trade those lines. That's all that matters. And so this morning I said Netflix over 576 Is a big continuation trade Um, it stuffed it It stuffed 576 at the open once it had that rally But it you know consolidated for the rest of the day and then finally made the move I didn't catch any of the rest of the move. I just caught the open. So But then it was plug So plug was a scalp trade Um, this is like a first bounce. So if you draw a line at 64 one second So if you bought the dip to 64 right off the open it bounces From 64 up to like 65 50 in you know Minutes and so that's a dollar and a half straight out of the gate. And then you're done Uh, what's SPCE doing? Space? Let's take a look Fucking 31 line.     I mean, why did I choose why did I choose 30 50? Well, look where the s1 pivot is.  So I said I would avoid this until we get some further news So like I I didn't want to take this as a long. I didn't want to take it as a short I just I just wanted to avoid it But I put it on there because it was a big percent gainer yesterday And so I knew a lot of people were probably going to be watching it Uh, but for me it was a no trade. Uh, what gm do?     Where's the pivot shit? Look at this shit Why do you think we said it's actually worked better in big caps, dude And like pltr, you know the pivot point at 26 It not helps everything, but you know, the first line was 26 50 So right off of the bat if you draw a line at 26 50 If you draw a line at 26 50 You can see the first time that 26 50 is touched right at the open on that washout It bounces from 26 50 to 27 boom 50 cents right out of the gate And you got to be selling into vwap and selling into the mid I mean, this this is that scalping 101. It's taking the quick Profits off of the bounces of these lines and dude in a matter of I mean minutes You've made three you've made three or four dollars a share on A combination of three or four different stocks I mean you do that with a hundred shares in each trade and you've made three four hundred bucks easy Dude take my money. That's compounding gains. That's compounding gains. Now if you use options I mean you could do you could use even less capital and make the same if not more money Yeah, the options are probably trading at two and four dollars dude not 27 Yeah, and again, I'm just using options as it as as as as just as an instrument that I yeah I just use that to trade the underlying stock only reason is because they're leveraged and I want to make bigger profits on a smaller move So that that's all I'm doing. I'm not I'm not overly focused on you know, it's an option It's an option. I've got to worry about expiration. I will never let that ship run the expiration I'm going to flip it in I'm going to I'm going to imagine like when in the office when Dwight bought Andy's exterra for you know, like seven grand and then turned around the same day and flipped it for 10 grand Like that's what I do with in with options every single day. It wasn't that I wanted to own an exterra I wanted to flip the exterra.   We're not talking about google We're talking about vessels, man You don't invest because of decays and things like that or it's just like otc's or small caps, man You're not investing for the long haul. You're using them for the price action that they provide So you're flipping the premiums just like your dude when harry haas Is probably all over obln first bounce and stuff He's not looking to ride this for the next 10 years. He's like, dude. I think this is a very strong stock I can get an expected move to the upside on bounces. Wow. That was actually That was actually a nice little nine fail right there. Let's see what this does But um, the point is is it's just like it's just like trading in security But if there's going to be many many many different kind of pros, especially if you're a small You know account small guy. You're just getting your beak wet and it's just again, man. There's options within options There's just ways to do everything What do I think of ba? What do I think of bowing? What do you think of that? I have no opinion on that bro.  How much is that? Look at this ceiling of a resistance pivot. Jeez.  You can't ask me a question About what I think about it. You gotta draw your lines. Yep. I've no I have no opinion on bowing no opinion on bowing because It just doesn't even it doesn't matter Draw your lines and follow your lines and that's it guys the first the first part of becoming a trader of any sort Especially a professional trader or somebody that really wants to do this for a living supplement income You know make a full-time living is you got to understand what a process is and then you got to trust it, man So once you have one I mean this game is about told me a long time ago. I never forgot it, man This game is as much art as it is a science, man If you're feeling like you really got to stay away from the stock Sometimes you actually have to really trust that man like you have to trust your process so much comes down to Dude, I knew that was the line. I should have taken the line. Why didn't I do it? Well, because bro, you didn't have confidence in the line You need to trust your process once you have one and then once you have You know risk management set in place with hard stops that kind of automate how much you can lose Bro, you're off to the races and then you just scale up your skills and scale up your positions If you see a level of consistency, that's really good or time frames But again, man, it starts with the art form of process Do you even have one get a process and then really, you know, I've actually Joe I've been telling a lot of people this lately For anybody because you know every now and then we'll get someone who totally understands process But dude, they're really scared and I said, dude, you don't need to read any more trading books You know what you need to fucking read a fearless book a book on overcoming fear that has nothing to do with trading You know, actually have to listen to podcasts and read something that it will combat fear, dude And learn how to trust the universe your lines your job your spouse like these things are going to show up in mirroring your trading, man Yep, awesome. So bond says I see the 200 line for Boeing Perfect. It's a whole dollar. It's a potential support. So what is your plan now? What's your plan for Boeing? What are you going to do? Are you going to trade it at these levels way above your line? Or are you going to wait for your line? Yep, are you going to keep like what we're telling Tim, you know, once you know, are you going to keep going on watch Are you going to keep Boeing on watch for several weeks now and when it touches the 200 line, you're going to buy the dip Or are you going to draw a 200 line right now and then just because it's trading over support You want to start buying all these little higher lows and scalping these little trades or are you going to wait for your line? Dude, what are you going to do with a plan to be the genius without a plan bro? Absolutely 210 is a new line Is 210 a line? I don't know is 210 a line You have to have no idea You have to figure out what line works with your process That would not be a line for me because I don't trade Boeing. You know what I mean? Like that's not the thing that I look for right Go to the daily chart Look at like a six month Look at a six month. Let's see what I got. I got a year for you That's fine Hey, let me take off 220. Let me take off the pivots Oops one sec. Oh good.  Yeah, I don't see I don't see 210 and here's why I don't see 210 I'm gonna point this out here. I'll just draw it for the sake of the argument 210 there you go. Yeah for the sake, I mean I can kind of see it a little bit there But the reason I don't like 210 is because is Is the margin set by 10 over here? Nope, are they going by 10 or are they going by 20 when you zoom in they're going by 10 So you have to use it on a smaller time frame and your and your plan is going to change based on that so It it matters What it what so I always go to a one-year chart because I feel like that gives me the best like big picture There you go. And then I just look at the margins. Yep 20 so 180 200 to 20 to 40 to 60 to 80 Yeah, so that means that's where I'm going to draw my lines. I'm going to be like, all right, you know 200 I see the 200 line clears day at 200 to 240. So big picture. We're stuck in a channel between 200 to 240 Been with m. I see for a month down green every day But one Understand the line set hard stops. Not only does m. I see teach a process. They support you every step of the way the real deal Thank you. I mean what more can be said like seriously? What more can be said about that?  I know it outweighs like there's like 90% of traders in this industry if you like, dude so Women can trade too, man Why Q gap to big today? All right Let's take a look Oh Oh, that's yeah, that's not a gap. That's just a big squeeze. So I mean I mean, but that's great volatility to be able to trade for sure Yeah, I would be like, but yeah, not a gap up here Just a squeezer. Yeah, just a squeeze.  Absolutely off of that. So if you see that big squeeze at the open Start start drawing your lines and buy the higher lows And if you guys make it really simple on yourself do do pivots if you need to and the first pivot I see is if this came back down to uh, 1341 that's probably where I'd looked along Yeah, because it's 1340 or something. I would have said 1350 Exactly Yeah, buy that buy that back to 1350. Um, you probably didn't get it and So look at a one year chart And then I mean, I I don't I mean it's a recent IPO. The only other line I see is like Is like 1515 Why I've been looking at sell, dude is is like right here at this 20 man If I was long this from like say like an investor standpoint like I don't know if I can you know I get an entry at 14 or something. I'm a real big swing trader like Claudio, dude I'd be looking to take I'd be looking to take off a lot right here, man This these are very important. These are previous tops, man. This is a very important general area 20 and 21 Yeah, I agree Yeah, so yeah with yq with those with those moves.   I feel like we've been talking for three hours We've been talking for about an hour and a half. That's crazy, bro. That's crazy Yeah, been to any time man. I mean every single week dude, we're trying to get you guys better and man and and anybody that's looking into m I see we're trying to show you why m I see will be beneficial for you because again It's not our agenda or the way we trade stocks guys We teach you how to trade From the only perspective are you trading the chart or are you trading your p and l or own bias?  It's like hold on man. We're gonna squeeze to 30 tomorrow This is I mean it I just I Entosh said it and it's it it's so it's so clear, but The fact that it's so incredibly far away from d-wap It just tells you that the dips are gonna get bought a lot more than the pops are gonna get short Joe, it's the same distance of the death candle.  He's shorting 10 and then 10 50 No, 100% uh chris fur. They shorten the box to 10 and 10 50. Yes, brother.  Just hold my beer I know right And he's like no chance No chance dude. I'm telling you man.   I'm running some promos, man Where i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm not gonna throw it in free with annual but dude just text me man I'm gonna hook you up with an annual and accelerator course kind of bundle deal if you're not a member You got to text me forex though for that one text me for those For those that were asking where do I start small caps large caps or options? You start in a market you start with the accelerator you start with this guy This is going to show you how a stock moves joe is going to teach everything Dude it's not it's not I need to figure out how to nail this trade you need to figure out how stocks move brother Yes, that's how it starts. So guys, this is going to be your best start if you want You know what, dude? I'll actually do something for you today, man I'm serious. I will do something for you if you guys want like maybe like I can even do a bundle deal I'll figure this out with alex, but if you guys want like a month of m. I see and a discounted accelerator kind of combo I'll talk with alex and see if we can maybe do something in that regard But i'm telling you guys man get a month of m. I see get the accelerator course and you guys are going to see the potential, dude it's an Code whacker or code forex today text my line and we'll get you situated man. We'll get you in the club Any or man, I gotta run any reminder. Shit. I gotta grow my facial hair out again Like a baby's bottom right now, dude All right, I gotta head out. We'll see you later. You guys are awesome. Joe's gotta go grill I gotta go sleep.  Dude text my line. I'll get you in before a trader now I gotta go nap game. I'm dead later guys


Hei, ydych chi'n syniad ychydig? Fynd am ychydig? Fynd am ychydig ymlaen i'ch hun i'r cyffreddau hynny'n cyffreddau hynny. Hei, mae'n cyffreddau cyffreddau hynny. Mae'r cyffreddau cyffreddau hynny yw'r cyffreddau sydd wedi'u gwahanol? Y dych chi'n mynd i'ch cyffreddau sydd angen. Mae'n ddaw'n ceisio'n mynd i'ch cyffreddau sydd angen, ac mae hyn yn gallu'r cyffreddau sydd angen. O가 a'r anodd y gallwn ni? I'm Brian Fuller. I use to work as an ATD at DNEG. I'm currently a Pipeline developer at Jellyfish Pictures. I'm a hobbyist animator, I'm a long-term led user. So long-term in fact I remember this. I also remember how I used to make projects. I would do a tutorial. I would save everything into one massive blender file. I would save those files wherever I liked, under whatever name I fancied at the time. I would duplicate whatever I needed, wherever I wanted. I would hide everything underground when I didn't need it. I would have very inconsistent asset quality. That's meant to be a clock and a typewriter. You could decide which one that's referring to. It would slow my machine down to a crawl. It would take extremely long times to render and be very noisy. This took way, way too long to make. A lot of talks have been going on the premise of building the tracks as you're going. This was like pushing a train across a road and saying, wow, it wouldn't be nice if we had tracks. You can see the sort of year and a half it took to finish this. This is the viewport from a real project that I did complete. This is everything all on show as it happens. I did this quite a while ago. Now this was in old blender. Everything like effects and empties were just left around. I just shot the rest of the shots tastefully to avoid actually showing that and fixing it. I call this the brute force approach, which is very fun and creative. It gets you in the zone. You don't really want to get rid of this aspect of it. It's good for very small projects. If you're doing a few seconds of animation or a logo, then most of these issues don't really matter. It does slow down production a lot if you're trying to scale it up, especially if you keep it being disorganised. It puts a lot of ownership on the individual. If you try and work with other people to help speed things up, it ends up being harder because you have everything in your head and you can't get it out as easily. No one can understand what Cube 23 is doing or what it's meant to do. It doesn't take a lot to make this way better. Let's have a go at this. Make your pipeline. A pipeline can be many different things in many different places. The definition I'm going to go with is just a system of rules and procedures that helps organise the flow of work. That just means deciding what work to do in what order. Let's try and do that. There are a bunch of really good solutions for pipelining that come with built-in bledder support, which are really great. This is not to replace those. These tools usually have a lot of pre-made assumptions that you know what pipelines are doing anyway. I think it's a good way to see if we can make a bare minimum, bare bones pipeline and see where that goes. It helps learn as well. We have our problems. Very long production times, inability to find files, messy scene habits making it difficult to work with, slow seed performance making it difficult to do things we're trying to do in that slow performance, inconsistent quality and being dependent on one person with everything just being in their head. Mainly my head. We can address these by planning what we want to make first and dedicating some time to experiment at the beginning. Figuring out a naming scheme for files and folders, so it's self-explanatory if people are coming into this, they can figure out where things are. Splitting up the files so that not everything is in one massive file. Keep only what's needed in a scene, making some basis to work off of. And making a list of things that we want to do as standards before diving in and staggering out the work into steps. Let's try and do this with the example project. A jam sandwich. This is a project, which is the step zero of any project, is inspiration. This is an example project of a guy getting hungry, going to make a sandwich, eating it. The sandwich has jam in it. This is going to help decide what pipeline we're going to make and how we make it. The very first thing, besides references, of course, is the storyboard. We want to plan what we want to make before we do it. A good way to do that would be a storyboard. This is not just a fancy maker, elaborate whole film before you make the whole film again. This is an extremely bare bones, get the idea out. It's a way of communicating your idea to yourself and others. That's a real storyboard for knives out, and that's someone who made Star Wars in ASCII art. A generic pipeline gives generic improvements. We don't know what we need unless we know what we're going to make first. With storyboards, you'll be able to work out stuff later on. This is me taking six minutes to try out a storyboard. I knew roughly what I was going to make beforehand, but this is just me solidifying it. It gives you a way of figuring out angles, composition, all that arty stuff, but more pipelining related in a second. Now, once you have the storyboard, you can make an animatic. Again, this could all just be done in blender. This is just those same storyboard images in time, so it gives you a way of figuring out the timing of things artistically as well, quite relevant, but pipeline-oriented. It gives us a few details, so we can figure out some details from the animatic. We know roughly how long it's going to be, and we can get an idea of how complex it is, so characters, assets, props, use of jam. We can also figure out if there's anything unusual to focus on. If we have a big crowd in the background at something that needs to all weave past a fluid sim, we know that's going to be tricky, so we can figure out and prepare for that. To actually make use of the animatic, we can start splitting it up. We know how to chunk out the work, but it could be that you want to just put it all into one file, but this will help move that around. If we take our animatic and export it as an MP4, render it, open it into another blender scene. This is just the editing tracks, and we can just start splitting it up. It might seem sensible to just evenly split it up into 10-second chunks, but we can also take advantage of some pre-established terminology. In standard VFX productions, they'll use some ways of defining what parts are on the show. In case no one here has heard of these before, I'll quickly go over them. In general, if you have a show, which could just refer to a movie, a TV show, a short film, all of them could just be called shows, they can be split up into episodes, so you could say an episode is a change in story, or if you're not doing episodes, you could just have a whole movie, and then that would just be the whole show. It's just like splitting up a street into different houses. Then within each episode or show, you could say every time the background or setting changes, that's a change in location, or a change in set. This could be an altercation in the story as well, it could be different arcs, it could be different acts, whatever you want to do. This could be like splitting a house into different floors. Then within each of those sequences, we could say that every time a change in the camera happens, it's a change in the cut, which could be considered a shot. This is just the smallest part you can break a film or show into, and that's a good measurement we could use. The goal of the storyboard is to get to the point where you can make a list of shots to disparate the work into. It would be easy to just go shot one, shot two, shot three, that's all the shots until you get to shot 3081, but we can also name these shots with some naming schemes. This is, well, if we're boiling down pipelines, pipelines are just naming schemes. If this is the one thing you take away from this talk that's brand new to you, then let it be this. Naming schemes, first thing to do, we're going to pick the name of our show and shorten it to be three or four characters long, because you're going to be writing it a lot, it'll take over your life, so having it short as possible helps enormously. Stuff like Macbeth will become MCB. In Summer's Night Stream you can just abbreviate it as well, just MND, and with Jam, easy, jam. Now we can look at the number of sequences. We have our animatic. We can roughly go along there and see how many sequences we have. Every change in set or story, and you couldn't count these up. For this animation I counted roughly three sequences. There's getting hungry, standing up to make the sandwich, and then eating it. This is one digit. We could express all of the different sequences in one digit. Let's add one more digit, because I'll bring up something later on that will help, but that gives us two digits total to contain all of the numbers of sequences. The number of shots. I've counted the maximum shots we have per sequence, so that's about six. That means still one digit, but with shots we might be editing stuff around as we go along. We might want to insert things. We might want to make more of them. We want to have extra digits for safety. We want to add the one from before, for a reason I'll explain in a second, just for safety. That gives us three digits to work with. Now we have three tokens, is what they would be called. We can now insert them into a naming scheme, and this is a way of saying, these values go wherever we want them to name. This can express the whole shot name. If we have those three tokens, we could say show name, sequence number, shot number, and this will define the smallest part of our show, which is the shot. You can also take away the last three digits, and I'll be a sequence name. That's it. To actually use this, we can make use of a coding convention, which is to always count in tens. If you're counting in tens, that means you have numbers in between that you can insert into. If we start counting in tens, that means that the first sequence is sequence 10, and the first shot is shot 10. That would be the whole first shot name, and the second would be sequence 10, shot 20, and then the new sequence would be sequence 20, shot 10. If you ever need to add a shot in between these two, you could just use a five, so count up in fives, and insert it yourself automatically. You can have that be on an edit, or if you're just making a new one, then everyone knows where it goes. Same thing with sequence names. If you have just the first two tokens, that's the sequence name, and you can make a new sequence, put in a five. That's the whole magic system. Everything else will just peg itself onto these names. If we name stuff like this, then we can say every single thing we have is responsible for that part of the show. This gives you a major benefit of stuff like just naming it shot one, shot two, the shot where the man gets shot. For instance, every operating system will sort name, if you sort it chronologically, or alphabetically, you'll get chronological order automatically. This will mean that anywhere you are, you can see what sequence you're in, and see it in order, or roughly where it is on the show. If you're working it at all, you can navigate them easily. We'll get to filenaming in a second, but the filename itself will be able to express everything it is, and when you're going through all of those files, they'll all be the same length, they'll all be the same level of detail, and you can tell roughly where they are in the project when you're going to them. The code of approach is just always a nice indicator. The downside of shots is that we have to be careful about continuity. If an object disappears and reappears between shots, then that's a bit of an issue, but we can figure a way out of that with something else later. Back to the animatic. We can now use the editor to cut up wherever there's a continuous camera angle change, and we can figure out where there's different sequences as well. If you use a marker, or you could use strip groups, grouping works in the graph editor as well, but it helps. We can now get our full list of shots. That's it. We have the full shot list, so now let's check out how many assets we're going to need. We're splitting it up into shots and assets. I just wrote down, based on what I saw in these shots, all of the different assets that I thought we'd need. I'm not going granular like the socks on the character, because we don't want to go that too deep too quickly. If we want to add things later, we can. Only get the things that Ibarra character interacts with. Is it vital for a composition or is it upset? You don't want to go too granular too quickly. Now we have our list of assets. I've saw grouped these roughly by what props or sets of characters they are, but these disc grouping will become handy later on as well. Right now it would be confusing if we had, say, jam referred to multiple different things. So be clear if you're going to name an asset, that it would say jam jar, a jam knife, or a jam character, because you have a character called knife, and you'd be confused when you import that into your scene. Now we have the shot names and the asset names. We don't actually have the asset names yet, because they are not formatted. They've got spaces, horrible spaces. We don't like spaces. We can per piece of information things. So we have the name here. That's not good. It has spaces. So let's try putting underscores in it. That's all right, but it's also meaning that the whole asset name is split across an underscore. Have we already established that an underscore splits one token and one token is one piece of information? So let's try camel case. That's getting there. But let's do full capital then camel case. Meaning that we now have a way of differentiating this from, say, a different word that's lower case. Oh, and if you... Fun fact is that Maya cannot have numbers at the beginning of our file names. Just in case that's relevant. And now we could look at the assets that we have, and we've got our list of them, and now we can categorise them. So if you have a different show with lots of effects, you might want to have effects as a category. You'd have an asset for all of those different things, but right now I'm just categorising it in the main ones for us. So sets, props and characters. Characters are just anything with a rig. Props are anything that is interacted with, or is it the background as dressing, and then a set is just a room. You could have vehicles, you could have set dressing as a different category. Yeah, that's a good way of keeping these organised as well. And then now we can get onto folder structure. So we'll get to Blender soon. Folder structure. We want places to store assets, shots and other files. So for now we'll have these three main root files. So we have the first folder which is the show name, and then we'll have assets, sequences and pre-production. And these are very broad root places to just keep those things stored. So the pre-production would be mostly for the edit, the storyboards, the animatic, those things you already have, but we haven't saved yet. So within this assets folder we've just made, we can now split this up by the asset type we've had earlier. And then now this means that you can navigate based on type. And then once you have those, we can now actually start putting the actual asset folders. And this is just setting us up for later. And making sure those are capitals and that those are not. That's another reason why they're not capitalised is because we want to make sure there's a difference between an asset name and something just for labelling. So back in sequences, we could do the same thing we did up for our shots. So we list out all the sequences we need. And then within those we list all the shots we need. And these are all self-explanatory as well. And you also get that handy timeline order as well. So to review, this is what it looks like in the OS. It's Windows, I know, sorry. And while we're at it, we can also make a file just at the root just to keep some settings in. So these are things that would apply to the whole show. Yeah, so like those sort of things. Which can contain stuff, for instance, locking your version. So if you don't currently lock your version, then there's a high chance you'll get a feature creep or you'll try and go, oh, there's something new in the new version. Let's try and use that. Try to avoid that if you're going into a project for a long time. In this case, I'm using 3.5.1, so I've not installed the newest one. It's taking all my willpower not to. Then we can have other things. Oh yeah, this also means that you can take advantage of the long-term a long-term support version. So this is what those are for. You get bug fixes, but you don't get new flashy changes. You could also set your scale. So if you want to have a character match the world size. So a blender, one unit is one meter. In other tools, one unit is one millimeter, one centimeter. So if you are importing other things outside of your project, make sure that the scale matches that just before you import it, because then you might in case have a system where you bring in, it's too big. Resolution FPS. This may seem silly, but there's a lot of companies that fail to do this that I've seen professionally. Then color space, blender's got a really good, decent one. You can pick one for yourself as well, but this is the kind of place it would go. Stuff that would apply to the whole show, not so anything specific, but because those all can change. So let's go back to the bit at the beginning where I said we want to keep the free form experimental part of blender usage. This is where it goes. We can now develop a look, which is what lookdev means. So we can finally open blender and start figuring out the main parts of the show, namely the jam. That's mostly the tricky part, is I wanted to make sure that the jam looked good, apply heavy use of references. This is why it's called look development. You decide stuff like the render engine, the render settings, the resolution, the general art style, and you could just have fun. You could do some tutorials. You can experiment, throw stuff away, keep it messy, no naming schemes, no nothing. This is the place to put it. Controlled chaos. So yeah, I wanted to make sure that I had the jam material right. I experimented, I found that just doing an ad shader, which always works. I knew I was going to use EV just so I could get quick render times. So I'm immediately benefitting from this step. So it means that now I've got that other way, I can put that into a lot of other places. So let's save it. So I've got the basic folder structure, so assets and shots. We know what those contain. They contain parts that are relevant to that asset or that shot. But within those folders, we want to put in more folders because we don't want to have a mix of many file types in one place. We want to have a single file relevant to a single folder. And there's many reasons for that, most of which comes down to if your naming scheme matches the same file then you get the same extension and some operating system and some software don't recognize the different extensions. But it also makes it easier to organize and see more clearly what it is. So for these right now, we've got scenes, renders, textures, caches. You could have effects. You might have sound. Sound I'll come on to later as well. But scenes is where you'd put the blender scenes, renders for any output renders. And so, for the name of the file itself, we know that the lookdev applies to a general whole show. It doesn't really apply to a specific shot because we're developing a look. So we can't go in a shot folder and it's not really something that responds to a sequence either because it's a whole show. But that means we can now just use that part of the name, which is the whole show. So then, so the first token will always apply to the part of the show it relates to, asset, shot, show. Oh, and another benefit of naming it like this is if you're working on multiple shows at once, you don't get confused about which show you're in. So the second part would be the kind of work we're doing, so lookdev, so like naming the stage of work. And then this thing on the right, which I will also come to in a second. And lowercase, just so it doesn't clash with any asset names that you might be calling lookdev for whatever reason. And bear my name. And that's now the name we can use to save a file. So within pre-production lookdev scenes. So now we can start saving the other files. So animatic, that's a scene, so we could call it animatic. The renders, that will go into the adjacent render folders. And yeah, the BL proxy will just be there. You can disable that or turn it off. Or just delete it afterwards. The edit, that was the bit where we cut up the animatic. That is just the same scenes folder. And same for the storyboard. So that little bit on the end where it says v001, that is a version token. And that is for if you have second thoughts. So the way most you can version anything is by two different methods. Source control and version control. Source control is like tracking all of the differences. Which this is an actual excerpt from the script for this talk. And this will track all of the changes from a starting point. Which is very good and convenient for code because you can see what's changed between versions. But it's very hard for larger complex files, especially files that reference other files. That's just a nightmare. So we don't want to do that. We want to do version control. Which is where you make an entire complete new version every single time and you give it a new version number. And you just make this number higher as you go along. And now the great thing with this is that it gives you the ability to make changes, save new things, but maintain the old one. And this was where you might use an external system like Excel or a spreadsheet to track which versions are good or which versions are bad or which versions contain what in them. But for this project we can generally just say latest is greatest. Never assume this for a big production. And the way you can use or the way we work on a file is to save it. Label it version 1 and then we can make any tiny adjustments we want while we're still saving. You don't have to make every different tiny thing a new version. But the next day you want to do a larger change, you want to do some slight modelling, you make a version 2. And then if you want to add materials or textures make a version 3. And then if you want to start something entirely new make a new version again. The more successful you are at maintaining a version history at a versioning system, the more successful you will be in working in parallel. Oh and yeah, since while we're at it turn off blend 1 files, this means you don't really need to worry about that. So, quick review. These are the things we've done. The time isn't proportional, the rest of the thing will be hopefully covered quite quickly. So let's dive into assets. So, now I want to make assets. We could just do it one by one, but that's quite repetitive. So we can plead up a little by making a base scene. So in a lot of places this will be called a shot build or a hot build or something like that. And this is where you would start making a file that has everything you need to start working. So we could do stuff like open a blender scene, give it some specific viewport lighting. So it means that all of your assets have the same lighting between them and you know what they're like in context. If they're all consistent with each other then they should all be consistent with any lighting you change in the scene itself. You can make premade collections to organise stuff. You can have all the rendering settings set up, all of the settings you found in the look dev and always enable all of these restriction toggles because I never, ever not open a file and not want to set these and yeah, save it and you call it, you will give it a new folder, we'll call it a base because that's sort of a new category of thing you want. And this can apply to all assets. It can apply to a type of asset. It can apply to wherever you want. We're based on the folder structure. So when you want to make a new asset you open this file, save as, start working. So when you want to start making assets I suggest starting with a character because this helps give a consistent scale, help gives a look for a feel and style. It's also the most complex thing so you want to get out of the way quickly. So don't be afraid if it takes a few tries. We also know that because it's got multiple rigs and multiple objects we could adopt a pseudo naming scheme for that so just try and be neat because Blender is quite good at this we don't have to worry too much about naming because most parts of Blender don't rely on a naming of a file or entity within the scene. But you can vary up a bit so making sure materials have MTL at the beginning, OBJs, collections, collections we do actually want to make sure that we have a standard naming scheme because we'll be linking those later. Oh yeah I also gave it a hair because I thought that's what all of the YouTubers do. So let's get in the groove of making assets. So you open the asset base save as immediately and don't forget this. I forgot it multiple times whilst making this so I had to make it again and change the name of the main collection to the asset name and then start making. So we've got some assets so now we're getting somewhere but with the other assets like the chair and the table they need to be interact with they need to be there for compositions so we can't really make them without looking we need to have a way of seeing what our assets look like laid out laid out laid out even if we have the best story board and concept art in the world some stuff will change in the translation so let's say lay out our assets in a scene before going full animation mode to see what they look like and this is where we open Bledder again we link in stuff that we've already made like the jam, gym and the plate and do this by linking not appending so you get the library overrides so you can actually interact with them because it saves on file size meaning we get to fill in one of those other quotas and it speeds up the interact with the scene a lot so if you start making a very rough model of the room, chairs and tables we get proxies that we can have for measuring the size measuring the scale, how it's going to work with composition and if you see that the scale is vastly off you can fix that in here as well so we make a new version of those assets relink them in scene hierarchy and reload and I'm avoiding trying to make this a linking tutorial but this is just saying that versioning can work hand in hand with linking so we've got this we don't need to worry about too much about cleanliness because this is more like the look dev step so we'll make sure the render settings are all the same but we don't need to be checking all the names we still want to check against the animatic and references so keep those handy here's where you'd also try out the camera angles of perspective even if you're not only making any specific shot yet you want to make sure that those look alright at this point but it also means that we can save this in the sequences folder as well if we are relevant to some shots so now we can finish all of our assets so we take those proxies we made import them into our assets base and then start making some of these assets and we can reference in the same way with the other ones did and now those assets are done we can finally make our set so now we have a new scene new model and it's just the basic room and we can link in our chair and table assets and then make sure that at this stage the key thing to check is the the scene name itself because we're actually going to be linking in the scene not the collection and that's important because it helps change what things are also with the world lighting if you're going to use set related world lighting so just like we did with the assets base file we can make a shot base file so now we're done with the assets we can start making some shots to make use of those assets so make a new blender scene minus the cube and we can add our render settings so resolution fps is good but we can also set a render output path in the rough area we want so right now I don't think blender could do string formatting inside the UI so you can't really have it done automatically without just scripting so that will be a manual step and but make sure you disable overwrite we don't want to have to overwrite a render we want to make sure that it's a separate thing and it also stops the image extension being on the end of the file extension we want it in the middle and there's an important part of this is an image sequence because image sequences are the ideal form of rendering because they let you pause pick up a render, download in batches upload in batches, minuscule file compression when you're actually doing video export and they let you re-render parts or maintaining the rest but the only big downside is no audio but that will come to audio again in a sec we also want to set our frame range to start at 1001 this is because we don't want to have some animation if we want to have to extend a shot to have animation beforehand we don't want to have to go into negative numbers because that makes it really hard to track what frame numbers are going on and if you have simulations then you want to have those starting before the actual start of the frame range so it doesn't just start playing and we want to enable those restriction toggles again we want to keep collections as well, neat and tidy so it can have like simple camera rig or we can put in stuff like cameras or lights and we can make a camera rig as well so if you want to have a very simple camera rig this is just a few empties parented to each other with a camera on top and this just helps make it easy to just get in and start animating once you actually open this file and lastly we link in our set so if this is a base shot file for a sequence we know that's going to be using the same set we can link in that scene file but we want to make sure that we put the scene file in this scenes box because that means that the scene is dropped in as a background it's not interactable it's not going to be clickable but it is going to be able to re-rendered and provide all of the standard scene stuff that was in your set which also saves on a lot of space and time it also makes it faster I think and then you could add in any assets on top of that as well and I know this feels like we've been preparing in like 10 different ways before we even start anything but this is where it gets really speedy so now we've got our full base scene just there and ready and save this start animating so all we have to do is now open that base scene save as, link all or any relevant assets still remaining and then just start working you can use the edit as a reference to roughly set the start and end frame you could do test viewport renders by just altering the output frame output path a little bit to make it so it has the like a token in it that says playlast or test render or something like that and you can take advantages of shots being separate files now so you can do stuff like parent a plate to a hand so that the hand's not sliding around or the plate always goes with it but you don't have to have that maintained between shots you can have like IK move between different places you can break the rig so that the camera looks nice in one particular angle and don't have to worry about cleaning up afterwards or you can add 10,000 metaballs for an effect you wanted to do and that doesn't make any other scenes slower so lighting that can also be done in the shot as well but you can also add lights to a set so it links in you can have most of the lighting and after animation or whilst you're doing animation this is also fairly free form and so we're doing a massive time skip now this is where you have done all your animation done all your lighting and you're about to get to rendering so now we can go through each shot and just hit render on them and that will automatically work fine except it never does so the beauty of versioning means that you can make every new version a new shot you can just have that be an entirely new brilliant brand new thing and if you wanted to try and do some automation or learn a little bit python then an automatic rendering script would be a very very good start so now that we've rendered everything we can import the new major sequence into a render scene and start arranging the shots and you can play with the timing, you can make new shots you can move around versioning up of course and now we get to audio so audio we use that many, I did lip sync for this animation but lip syncing is something that you'd absolutely need to handle with but that means that you can also treat audio as something that can be a shot specific file or an asset specific file so if you have footsteps or foley that can be an asset that you drag and drop later and use in multiple places or you can have a a very pivotal voice line that's specific to one shot be something within the shot and we also don't so if we don't care about doing the we don't want to have to worry about doing sound during animation so if someone hits over the sword we don't need to worry about sword swipe that is all handled in the editing and so an asset of music video you might want to think about having music split up or working that into the shots as well but that can also all be adjusted in the editing stage if you have a bit of play between start frame and end frame so once you've got all that timing down that leaves us with the final edit and this also means that we avoid having to have mob files that compress the audio once and then when we do an edit export we compress it again so this is what I ended up with this is the file animation play yep so this is a week or two of work whilst I was at work the just getting the pipeline ready to make this made it so much faster and I was just able to get things going it's not ground breaking incredible quality but it works there is audio but I can't play that and that's it and so I've skimmed over a lot I've completely bypassed steps as a folder I've completely ignored compositing I didn't even try to address plates or scans because I wanted to just give an overview a very short amount of time plus this brings up a point I wanted to make is that we need to keep it simple stupid which is a mnemonic used in programming a lot which is just to only do the things you need to do and not anything else it makes it harder and makes it slower so if you don't foresee yourself needing to work with vendors or make slap comps or do any other stuff like that then you don't need to but that being said if you are at a studio and they do ask you to do something that you think is unneeded or slows things down then please do it because likely the pipeline know that it's bad and it will look around an even bigger problem and so here's all the times I ignored my own advice I forgot that I needed to animate the desk so I had to make another set which had a desk missing so I could port the desk as an asset and link that separately I forgot that bread has slices so I needed to remake that asset and I had to import that back in I had to re-version it up because the parenting was gone and weird I forgot my own mnemonic a bunch I couldn't remember or seen and many more things I probably forgot but the improvement you get over just attempting to do this is far outweid by the little mistakes you make and the final message of this is that the only thing better than perfect is standard and that's it


Hey, Psych2Goers, what do you think makes a person attractive? Perhaps it's their physical appearance or the way they talk? Maybe it's how popular they are on social media or how talented they could be. There are tons of different opinions and factors that may play a part, but one common quality that can make you instantly attractive is being a good human being. So while you may think it's impossible to make yourself more appealing to others, think again. Here are 7 daily habits of highly attractive people. 1.  Instead of focusing on the negative, highly attractive people tend to focus on the brighter side of things. Because of this attitude, they can usually turn serious or pressuring events into humorous ones. Lightning the overall mood and cracking jokes to make everyone laugh triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals, which can make everyone around them feel good as well. So the next time you trip over or spill some mustard on your shirt, it may help to not dwell on it too much. Dust yourself off, move on, and have a laugh about it. 2. Constantly checking up on their friends How do you treat the people around you? People are attractive when they're caring and thoughtful, and you can see this in how they treat their friends. When people see how well you treat the people around you, they'll want to be treated that way too. You can try this by identifying the people in your life who you cherish and value, listen to them, and make them feel heard. 3. Practicing self-care Do you find their fashion sense charming? Aside from their personality, attractive people practice hygiene and self-care. They appreciate themselves and don't hesitate in providing their body the pampering it deserves. Which may mean following a skincare routine, exercising every other day, or following a healthy sleeping schedule. You should keep in mind that it doesn't mean that these people are robots who stick to rigid self-care techniques every second of the day. They just know what they need and when they need to take it. So what self-care habit do you find yourself lacking? 4. Not caring what others think Are you always worried about what other people think? Another habit that can make you highly attractive is to be unapologetically yourself. Because highly attractive people understand that it's impossible to make everyone like them. They won't shy away from being who they are and doing what they want to do.  5. Keeping an open mind How do you handle disagreements? Being able to continue a calm, insightful discussion with a person you disagree with is an attractive trait because it shows your maturity. Everyone comes from a different background and upbringing and will have their own opinions, so conflict is bound to happen. But instead of insisting that you are right, the more attractive thing to do is to listen and to put yourself in their shoes. Why do you think they reached that opinion in the first place? Would you share their mindset if you were living their life? Keep this up and you may find that a lot more people will honest them time with you. 6. Taking some alone time How do you know when you need a break? Just as how attractive people know when to socialize, they also know when to take time for themselves. Working all day and talking with others can be draining. So when you've reached your limit, don't be afraid to take some down time. This can help you relax, gather your thoughts and reflect on the things that have transpired. 7. Handling conflict well Are you easily irritated during arguments? The attractive people know when to admit and own up to their mistakes, especially when it really is their fault. They're not afraid to be the bigger person and try to understand the other party as much as possible. Of course this doesn't mean taking the blame all the time. But it's knowing that there are days where you have to take the high road to deal with the situation properly. Perhaps the other person is just having a really bad day. However, when the situation calls for it, there's also nothing wrong with standing up for yourself. Do you think makes someone attractive? Let us know in the comments below.
