Okay, welcome to the bookmap live trading webinar. This is Bruce at bookmap and we're going to go through some live analysis. We do this every Monday, Tuesday and Friday at 10 a.m. It is based off our educational course so that you can apply what you've learned from that educational course right here in the live markets. You can apply what you've learned. And that's the goal. So then we also offer live trading from a stocks trader, JTrader on Wednesday and Scopolsini a futures trader on Thursday. We also have a lot going on our Discord channel. You might want to go and check that out. So lots of live events happening in there, 8.30. We have rain. This is all East Coast times, rain on crypto markets. Then we have the advanced webinar here at 10 a.m. And then at 11.30 we have Tom B going through volume profile. And then at 1.30 we have Doug going through the options markets. And then later in the day at 2.30 we have the algo boys going through looking at their algorithmic levels, proprietary algorithmic levels and the order flow events around them. Guys, it's quite a nice offering. It's all free. So you might want to go and check out our Discord. A lot going on over there. And we think we're offering some very nice services for you guys. Good morning Tony. All right guys, let's go through the disclosures and we'll jump right in.

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Good morning JC. All right guys. So let's jump in here and see what's going on in the S&P. We can look at any market you guys want. The order flow education here is for any market. Most people want to look at the S&P e-mini futures. So that's where we start and we can go over crypto, we can go over stocks, whatever. It doesn't matter. I have a lot of different symbols open here. Anyway, let's take a look at what's going on here in the S&P. All right. Well, order flow wise, just quick right off the bat here, very choppy here at the beginning. You can see the 930 cash open here and move to the upside, move to the downside, move right back up. Pretty strong buying here. So I'm looking for it to trade right now up to not only 97 but 4,000. So a key figure, obviously, is 4,000. So strong buying, we're looking for the continuation. Okay. They're on the bid down here at 90. They're also now company just pulled and added at 94 here, looking for the move up into 4,000. All right. So let's see if we can break a bit above it too as well. Let's see if there's anything above it here. Not much. Maybe up to, you know, 0203, maybe 5 up here. So anyway, let's zoom in here a little closer and see what's going on. Yeah. We might not, I mean, I'm looking for it to happen now. I am seeing some selling coming in here right now though. All right. So we're still bullish here until we see something different. But you know, we've got to read the order flow here and we've got to go through the different scenarios and the order flow shifts and changes. All right. So like right in here, high liquidity skewing the offer or skewing the bid here, but sellers took them on. All right. So we're starting to see some sellers now at these higher levels right in here. They took on these guys here. So that's telling us something, all right. So we know that there's some selling in here. We're still bullish until we see something more though, but we're starting to note it here. Okay. So also over here actually, I shouldn't have been so quick, all right. So we see some selling in here as well. So we're still bullish, right. We're still looking for the move up into 4,000 until we see something different. But we're starting to note these things and that's when these will add more to a different scenario. Okay. And start to understand when, you know, we get more and more sellers in here when they might start to take control of this market. Guys, this is a simple scenario though. We look and we look for this trend to continue. We just start to note these things in here. Okay. So we've already traded a 4,000, right. And that was the primary scenario here. Now look at this bounce here. Okay. Look where it's bouncing off of here. Okay. This is typical in order flow as well. And note, it's this area here, right. So let's mark it up right here. Okay. See this 97. Now look at the push through 97, right. Guys, we just can't make this stuff up. Here it is in real time, right. We were noting these little areas in here. It's kind of funny. Something's going on in here. Also here. Let's mark this one up as well, all right. So, and maybe we'll see a, well, we already pulled, we already pulled back right to it. Yeah, I just can't do this fast enough. Anyway, guys, you know, here we are bouncing off of it. And now the move right back up. Okay. Looking for actually, let's see if we can get more buyers up in here above this area where it just dropped from. Okay. And then I want to see it come up into not only 4,000, but 02 and maybe a little bit higher here, maybe up to 10. Okay. So, anyway, this was, we had to, this happened kind of a little after the fact here. Okay. We noted these areas. They didn't mark it up in time to see this follow, follow through to the downside. And then the bounce off of here and then the move back up anyway, marking up these levels, you can see how powerful they are. Okay. These are order flow events in here. And this is why we want transparency into where these transactions are taking place. Okay. Look what it did. All right. And you just can't make that up. It's like, it's pinpointing it. It's because of this order flow event. And it's because of this order flow event here as well. Okay. This is why that you see the sellers come in and push it through here, very, very strong move. Okay. And this is just dumping. All right. Now, we know there's a stop run here as well. Okay. But this is a larger player coming in and just selling. That's it. Now, we know they're going to trigger some stops most likely along the way.  So anyway, this is what we want to understand in the order flow here. It is starting to outline the specific players in here and starting to understand this market and the demand or the supply in here, what traders think of the market. This is not about the, you know, some sort of mathematical equation or, you know, technical indicator. This is about the players in the market reading them, putting these pieces together. And that's the edge you can get when you can read or understand order flow and put this together. Okay. So this is what it's all about. This is what these webinars are all about. Okay. Trying to really understand and put together where these players are transacting to give us certain scenarios that are likely to unfold in the order flow, okay, in the price action. Let's see. You have a question on Shule developing VPOC. It shifts lower. If it shifts lower, can we conclude that selling is on its way? So well, the VPOC, I mean, if price is going up, it's likely just going to shift up, right? I mean, it has to because the price action is, you can't add more to something in the past and less price is down there. So but I don't really quite understand the question, I guess. If you see a developing high volume node that could be a point of turn into a volume point of control, yeah, it likely will. I mean, look, this is where I really, it just almost kind of pushes my buttons here about the terminology. Understand that it's what a VPOC is. So what that is that name, it just means the most traded level, which is down here, right? And that's what we want insight to, and let me add another column in here. We don't care about the name and if it's going to return to that. So what, like it's most likely going to return to where it can trade. And that's what it means. Because there's other transactions, other players at those levels, you can come down to here, though. It could come all the way down to, you know, and all of these traders in here and come down to here and then maybe reject, you know, maybe. That's why you look at like the value area low in here or value area high in here as well. Okay, it's just a number, though, and it's just trying to give a gauge. Yeah, okay, it's done technically. But just to understand what these things are and how the market might play around them is the key. Trying to develop a strategy and saying, well, 90% of the time it returns to VPock, okay, that's not, that's good. That's good if you have the numbers on something. You know, you have an edge there that you've quantified. You know, now the risk management around that and putting the order flow together with that is really where you're going to get some magic on Sule. On Sule. So yeah, that's, so let's go over it. So is it likely to trade back down here? If this is the one that's developed, most developed here, right? Well, yeah, we'll come back there if we get enough sellers, okay, and I don't see them right now. Okay, it doesn't mean that they won't come, but right now I don't see them, okay? So we're going to go, let's go through some of the scenarios. Let's go through the scenario on the higher time frame of what it would look like for them to come back down here, right? Let me get the pen tool out and we'll just try to draw it up a little bit here, okay? So on the live chart, instead of using the art board, I prefer to do it that way, guys. So yeah, I mean, look at how thinly traded this is compared to, you know, back here, right? There's a lot more transactions here or in here, I'm sorry, 91 or 2 on down to 80, okay? A lot more traded, even though you see a lot of buyers up here, okay, and they're setting the direction and the tone is very thinly traded right now compared to this area here, right? So here's one of the scenarios here. We're starting to come in, red dots like this, okay? Now what we'd look for in the order of flow, this is just, well, there's many hints to look at first, okay, for a return back to VPOC or, you know, high volume nodes. I would first look for this high volume node to trade first, if this is a mean reversion that you're looking for, this is the first stop, 98, okay? Do we have enough sellers moving in, controlling this market, taking it away from this area up here, starting to unfold? Look at them pulling on the bid here, let's see them add a little more here on the offer and we should get a move, right? That's the scenario we're looking for. Now are we getting that scenario? Well we're seeing the red dots here, but we're seeing the bid still being kind of strong here. We don't see much on the offer yet, okay, starting to come in now, okay, let's see, let's see them pull, I want to see them pull here at 4,000 and they're not, and they're not even tangling with 4,000, we're getting buyers in front of it, okay? So we're just looking, we're just talking about a move down to this high volume node here, so actually around 97.5, okay, and that's not unfolding right now either. So what is it, I mean what happens more often, the breakouts or the reversion, oh good lord, who knows, according to auction market theory, it's all about reading the participants. Who knows? I mean trending days, it'll never return back there. It may never even have a new developing point of control that turns into a new point of control. What instead is you'll get is something like what you're seeing today, like if you might get this big, huge profile down here and then it just trends all day long with small, little profiles in here all the way up, right, and that day it never gets back here, maybe it gets back there a few days later or next week or something like that, okay? Not sure if you're looking for a specific number or the probability, this is a good idea for a study for yourself, okay? According to auction market theory, my lord, who cares about the auction market theory? If there's enough buyers in here, they're going to pull it away, it's not coming back. But you're going to get smaller, mean reversion trades maybe to this node here, right? Or you can see it's developing into a node right here at 4,000, which makes pretty good sense. I think it's extremely valid and worthy, unctual of a study.  I see, right, you're in the Indian market without the heat map. Yeah, it's a really, really good idea. I like your question very much and the answer is you can develop an edge by studying that and it will have to take your study, but you can have an edge right there, right? How many, what's the percentage time that it returns back on what kind of days? All right, now let's cover what the order flow looks like though, right? That's where you're going to get an edge in here I think with book map. So you got your bigger picture levels like this looks good guys for trading back up to this 05 here. I would like to see a little bit more here on the bid, but yeah, I want to see more on the bid here. But you know, we're finding buyers in here above 4,000 so far. I'd be very careful with this one though. We really need to see them come in, these buyers, because if it's kind of dark in here, this might be the dupe, right? The thing that gets you to start getting interested here and then you're going to be stopped out down here. So we want to be really careful of these kinds of moves in here. In fact, here come our sellers right now. Yeah, looks like they're going to go for it here. Try to trade through back down to this node at 97.5. And we should see a stop run there as well into the 97.5. There we go. And now watch though, I mean, they were starting to buy up here. We could still see them come back up here. I don't see them coming in right now, but we could. Subtitles are activated afterwards. So you can look up that later. I don't know, play around with your settings in there. Anyway, yeah. Well, without the heat map, and you're looking at the Indian market, you're going to have to lean more on some of the add-ons and the indicators. The sweeps, the absorption, also footprint. Footprints available now. So I don't know if you added that in there. Unchewable. Anyway, guys, let's take a look back here. And where I was trying to end up with answering that question and why I'm spending so much time on it here. Reach out to support on that about footprint. Yeah. All right, so what I wanted to cover in here, and this is about going through exactly the same process where we go through every day in here, Unchewable, is about getting an edge via order flow. Understanding the participants in here. So let's suppose you did your study. And on a lot of days, there's a mean reversion back to the high volume node. You have to kind of filter your study a little bit. But let's just say, what is the likelihood of it coming back to the high volume node? Great, there's your study. And you came up with, wow, OK, I see that, due to my studies, the quantitative study that we come back to the high volume node, let's say 65% of the time or something, there's your edge. Now, if that's what you want to trade, now let's look at the order flow in here. That's where you can really, really optimize that edge. So in fact, this was what we were looking for in here. And I kind of had to take it back. I was like, oh, it looks like they're coming back in. The buyers are coming back in. And then I noticed the dupe that there's potential here for this to be the trapped volume. We're not going to make it to 05. We were actually looking earlier for the move back down into some of these previous levels. Due to some of the selling pressure, we saw over here before. So now we're probably, yeah, we're already there. So anyway, and you can see there's going to be the stop run that we were talking about down in here. And the move is continuing. So anyway, let's go through the order flow and give that edge here to this mean reversion type of trade. And we don't even have to look at really small structure in here for this. It's right in front of us here. First things we look for on the way up here. On the way up, we want to see high liquidity filled at these levels. We start to look for cracks in that bullish move in here. And we noted them in here. There was a few where the high liquidity on the bid was taken by the sellers here and here. And we just noted them. And then look at this dump here. And then someone came back in and immediately moved, or traders came right back in and said, well, this is someone probably liquidating or, I don't know, doing something. There's an edge to trade it right back up here. So they did. Now look at this in here. They're on the bid. And they also transact in here as well. Let me change this to a CVP. So they're transacting in here as well. And some of it pulled. So we're starting to see some selling pressure that it's notable. We came up, we trade into this liquidity, this liquidity up here at 05 as well. They all got filled in here. They're on the bid here. This is bullish. There's no question about that. We're bullish here. We see the selling coming in here. But this is where the move initiated here at 99. And we look for the bounce out of that area. We still look for the bulls to be in control here. This is where we see a shift here. It's right here. Let me mark it up. It's right around this 99 level. So the seller's coming in, moving this market lower. And then now they're below these guys here. Back down to this level here at our 97 level. So now that's where we're starting to see the crack and the shift here. And look at the volume in here. This is really key. Onshore, this is where you'll get your edge. Look at the volume in here. Let's compare it to this volume over here. It's kind of equal. Look at the bars in here. Look at the dots in here. This is the shift in the order flow from here, right here, around our 99 level. But it started up here with the let me actually get rid of these here for the moment. And we're going to talk about who's in control in these levels here. Buyer's still in control, right? That's why I was looking forward in here. And then I was like, ah, wait a minute. Not on the bid down here. Underneath, we want to see that sellers can come in. And this could be the dupe or the trap volume. All of this would be the trap volume up here. All these buyers. And then the sellers can come in and see that stop run to the downside. And then we did see that move. So this is where you look for your mean reversion trade, Antrual. Long story short, reading the order flow in here, this is where you start to look for that shift in the order flow to give you that edge for your mean reversion trade. Now, let's take a look at the mean reversion. What does it mean in here? What's the significance here? Well, the first stop would have been this 97-ish level, which was a high volume node in here. You can see it's developed more now because more is traded around that level. Now, if you want a true mean reversion trade, it's back into these areas here. So we're still looking for 90. Now, let's match it up with high liquidity here. And it's there at 90. So it's in front of that area here. So if you were involved in this mean reversion trade, these could be your areas to splice into that trade right in here, maybe even here. Now, you're getting in a really poor entry, but you're looking for that mean reversion trade. And maybe you took some off already because you saw the shift in the order flow in here. Another way is looking at some trend lines in here. We're just trying to find an edge. And we can see that shift in here. We made a lower high in here. We were looking for the breakout here, and we kind of quickly talked about the second scenario here. All right. So anyway, look at the buying coming in. So this buying coming in, well, they're right back up into these areas where you would have been entering, more or less, or a possible entry. So we're going to talk a little bit about trade management on this potential strategy that you're talking about. And it would be to take some off on the way down, maybe at this level here, some of these levels that we previously marked up because we're anticipating a bounce around those levels. So now, let's go through it in here. So let's suppose you got involved in here. You took some off down here at 93 and a half, let's say. So you made like four or five points, maybe, and you would have been stopped out on the rest. And you would have been stopped out at break even on the rest. OK, well, now, this is a very hypothetical situation or scenario. Because we don't know what the overall number is. Do you have an edge for that mean reversion trade for today? We don't know that. But this is the order flow. If you did, then this is the order flow we would look for, for that to unfold. Does that make sense? This is a great question. And I want to go through it in some details in here. How to start to develop an edge with order flow and understanding your higher time frame studies. So now the order flow is kind of jumbled in here. However, look what just happened up here. We trade back to the figure. Our trend line in here, well, we're getting a bit of a pullback. Now, even though there's quite a bit of buying in here, so this is really back and forth. Right? I mean, sellers still, from this move onward, they still remain in control. OK? It's looking pretty equal, though. I don't see much of an edge here in the order flow, to be honest. The selling here is kind of equal to the buying in here. Probably a bit more selling. And we also made a lower high. So I would still say sellers have the control from this point in this time frame onward. So this is where it comes back to how you want to manage this. So if you're looking for your shorter time frame move and that mean reversion trade, well, you would have taken some and you would have been stopped out at break even. If you're going to give this more time to work for a bigger, higher time frame mean reversion trade, you would still be in it. And you'd be looking for the move back to about here. OK? I would still take some off at 90 just because I'm matching up that area with the liquidity. It's pretty close, 88 or 90. Now I would go with 90. Because that's where the demand is. That's again, if you don't have that, that's what it looks like. So now how to do this without the heat map? Well, look at the swing here. And then look at there's also this swing in here. And you start to look at maybe the pressures here in the volume to maybe give you some insights. Also, you can look at your sweeps and absorption indicators. They'll be helpful. So anyway, swings are a great way to look at levels. And you kind of assume that there would be some liquidity down around some of the swings. But now let's verify it, though, with the heat map. Yeah, well, they're a little bit lower, 90. Yeah, the heat map does give you that added edge. No question about it. I mean, that's one of the main features in Bookmap. OK, from the very, very beginning. All right, Discord. Let me get back to Discord. No one, nothing in here in Discord. No questions. Let's zoom out a little bit more here. Now here again is like, this is where it really depends on your time frame. This breakout above our 93, 4 level, whatever it is right here. Let's see what is it, 93. The breakout above it is still holding. So higher time frame, here's our structure that we're looking at. Oops, hold on a minute here. Here's our big structure here. And then it's still holding above it here so far. So now we know or we talked about it. On the smaller time frame here, sellers in control here. And still remain in control in here. Higher time frame, though, this is just a pullback. And there's more buying in here, more selling down here. But we're above that. So that's where the stop run comes in. Just people getting chewed up in here on the way up. OK, let's see if we get it. These buyers interest in here and try to break out again. We got a trend line. We got a high here, the swing high. We got 4,000, the figure, key level. And that's really all we got. There is some liquidity in here as we can see. And we do have some buying up here. But it's not giving us too much right now. Buying look pretty good in here. Kind of curtailed in this area here. So that's what the market's telling us so far. Here they go again. Let's see if they're interested. I would stay away from it. I mean, I'd be looking for maybe the move to this liquidity here, but we're already there. But see how it's just dark underneath. I still don't like it. Yeah, I would let that pass by. Should be a stop run. A little bit. There's our sellers again. We just found some. So it's really kind of back and forth up at these levels around 4,000, as you guys can see. We found our sellers right in here. Same ideas or same thing we saw earlier. And now we're back down to where we just broke out from. Are they going to support it here? Let's draw up a trend line quickly. I'm looking to see if we get sellers hit the bid really hard and come back down to 95 here. But let's draw a trend line. All right, so not seeing too much here yet either. So do nothing. Right, we're basically reading the participants. What do they think? And I don't really see much thought in here, to be honest. Yeah, a little bit of selling, a little bit of buying. They're up here on the offer 4 or 5. They're down here on the bid around 95. A little bit at 96, and we're right in the middle. And there's both buyers and sellers in here. So we don't know who's kind of in control in this current environment on this very low time frame for the last, like, five minutes or so. We're looking for someone to take control here. Sellers try in here, but watch this. We can get right back above 99 here. Buyers will take control. Try to get these guys to get squeezed and try to move back up to the top here. So let's see here just a minute. So Anshul, what's that doing up here around this 98 level? Lee, when I start my trading day, how far back do I go in order flow to get better insight of what's going on the market at the present moment? This is a great question, Lee. So let's go through it.  That's my shtick or my way of starting. And I like doing that. I like being kind of abreast of what's going on out there and then to read the order flow on the much, much higher time frame for the day or the week or whatever to see what people think about it and the price movements. And that really gives me a lot of insight on a much, much higher time frame of what's going on out there. And what does the market or the participants in the market feel about what's going on out there? And then that leads to the second question of what do they think about it and the price action? And then I look at my candlestick charts on the higher time frames here. So I look at my daily. And this has got some weird data in here. Anyway, we're up here at 4,000. And all these days previously, I mean, for some reason, I don't know why. We saw this move up into here. So I don't really have very good data here. Anyway, guys, which is really a pity. Maybe we can just look at a four or four hour here. Hold on. Yeah, there we go. OK, well, we'll just have to go with a four hour chart here on the left-hand side. Hourly chart in the middle in our 15 minute chart here on the right-hand side. I don't know why this isn't working very well. Oh, that's one day look back. Never mind. OK. Well, it makes these kind of difficult here to read. Yeah, we can go. We can look at something else here. Hold on a minute. OK. So now this is free data. So you're not going to get a whole bunch out of it here. But the go to a daily chart here. The daily should be fine. So yeah, so the process. Let's start back to Lee's question. So start with some of the fundamentals. Get a feel for what's going on out there. Geopolitical data. I like to look at the data from the economic releases. I like to see what the reaction is to that data to get a feel for what's going on. I like to read the statements from the Fed. I like to just get a good feel for what's going on out in the market and the reaction to that news and then look at it technically. So what's going on in here? Look at the swings in here. So now I'm looking at order flow basically. Lee, what I do is I take the same information here at the lowest time frame possible. Just one transaction or two transactions. I mean, this is microsecond type of levels in here. Milliseconds in fact. Microseconds in fact here. Millions of seconds. This to me is no different than looking at a higher time frame. This is just like a wick here on a monthly chart right here. I look for buyers to come in on the other side in this low time frame. Look for that liquidity be pulled here. Then I'd be looking for 98. As long as we get some buyers up here at 97, next stop should be 98. As simple as that. And yeah, it came up to a few more ticks here. Didn't make it to 98. Anyway, this process in here, for me, reading the order flow in book map is the same process to be used on that I use on the higher time frame charts here. So in fact, this wick down here on the daily and then all of the, and back and forth in here, we're still on a downtrend. I don't see, I see this is pretty bullish in here, but I see equal sellers on this candle here. And then I see this nice strong move by buyers above the swing here. Hey, but it's, you know, and it's working its way up here. We call out these levels. These are the, what we were looking for a couple of weeks ago, a test up into these levels here. First up into these levels on a specific day and then later we were back up above it and we were like, wow, okay. We're looking for it to come up to test here, okay, which unfolded. We get the downturn here. This one's kind of funny. I don't know really kind of where this went on the daily at least down into this level here. I guess maybe the figure at 3,700 and then maybe new news came out or something that kind of disrupted things. I don't see a technical level down here though. And then very, very strong move here. And then we can see we're back up above these levels here, right? So I like to look at these levels to answer your question, Lee. I would be looking at this level here as a potential pullback in the near future, okay. Back to about 90 or I'm sorry, 39, 30 or somewhere around there, okay. Look at the strong move here. And then the next day, not so strong. And then today here, not so strong either. So starting to slow down. Hey, it doesn't matter. Like if we get back up here and we see strong buying, we're gonna come back up into these levels up here, right? That would be, that's where we look for that scenario. Okay, so yeah, it looks like the market's kind of ready for a bit of a pullback though to me. All right, so now if that's your kind of bigger, higher timeframe outlook on this daily chart, now let's swing down into the hourly, okay. Well, do we see that unfolding here? No, it's not yet, not even close to being ready, okay. So I don't see that scenario unfolding yet. So I'd still kind of look for bullish moves here basically on this hourly. Let's go down to the 15 minute. Okay, 15 minute chart here. Well, we gotta see buyers come back up into here. Okay, this 09 or 10 level from last Friday. Okay, we need to see the market trade up into there. We need to find buyers in here. So on this move here, okay, we just saw some sell off or this WIC here on the 15 minute chart. If we've bounced off of here and we're coming right back up, okay. So now here in this scenario in the order flow on this candle here, I'm looking for buyers in book map. I'm looking for support in the bid underneath here, right. And then I'm looking for the move to continue. This is basically the same thing. We just looked on that microsecond timeframe that candle or that WIC or that move to the downside and then buyers coming in and up here in the other side. So we've already tested up here once, it's a pullback. Now we're gonna test back up here again. And if so, we're looking for strong buying in here. That's one scenario, the first primary scenario to look at here in my book. Secondary scenario is we're not looking for buyers in here. It made a lower high in here. We'd be looking for sellers, selling pressure to come in here and back down to here and retest back down into our 38 or 3990 level, okay. So that would be our secondary scenario here. So what are the buyers and sellers telling us in here is what we're looking for, all right. So it's a process, Lee, it's understanding my levels, marking up these levels. And I just mentioned them, I didn't mark them here but I'm looking at the Wix, okay. I'm calling them out. I did not mark them up though for you, all right. So now that's my guide, okay. And then I'm looking for the order flow in here to tell me what participants feel about it. Okay, so it looks like to me, we're finding buyers again. I'm looking for them to trade right up to O2 here. Okay, now let's see, I wanna see that bid, strengthen the bid and it's still down here at 98, right. So I wanna see that bid in here. Okay, there's something on the offer. All right, let's get some insight from that. We found buyers, interesting. Okay, I'm looking for buyers to trade to O2, okay. And above, okay. Now here's the scenario, Lee, right. So O2, O5, O4, O5, and then 10, right. Cause we looked at 10 up here. All right, let's relate that back to 10 up here. Okay, eight and 10 up here. All right, makes sense. So it's just, maybe it sounded kinda complex. It's really not. It's just different timeframes and then putting together my scenarios. Okay, good. Do you need more clarity on that, Lee? I mean, like right now, you can see this, this is our primary scenario here, right, in the order flow and the higher timeframes too. Okay, now trade management's a whole nother thing. Okay, that's another piece of the puzzle and it's a very, very important piece. But what we want is we wanna, first we want an edge, okay. And understanding, my edge is understanding order flow on the different timeframes, higher, or lower on the higher and higher on the lower. And then, looking for the scenario, going through the scenarios in here to give me that edge in here. Okay, and then in this case in here, like, yeah, you know, you were looking for 02, 04, 05 to transact. Okay, so how do you manage it? Well, we saw the buying starting to come in here. So, you know, I would have been jumping in here. Okay, and I would take some off up here. I would. Okay, I know I'm looking for 10, okay, or eight as well. Eight looks probably better. I would take some off up here.  I like to move my stop to break even. Okay, because I'm looking for this move to, here's my reasoning in my, with my trading method. I'm looking for this to work now. And if I don't see it working now, I'll get stopped out at break even or take a small loss and look for the next one. Okay, but, or take a small profit and then get stopped out at break even. Okay, and then look for the next one. All right, because I'm looking for it to work out now. Now, we know that there's some selling in here. We already know that. So, this is where you can, you know, yeah, it's up to the different traders. I mean, like on this, you would have been stopped out of break even. Okay, you would have taken some off. You would have been stopped out of break even. But we can also look at this in here and go through another trade, a trade management scenario in here. And that would be that we know they're selling pressure already in this. We saw it here earlier. We saw it before the move up to, to 05 up here. Right, we noted it in these lines in here. Okay, so we saw that. We know they're selling pressure in here. Okay, so now we are, so this pullback here, we are maybe, maybe we're not looking for this to move immediately. Maybe we're looking for today. Maybe it's a kind of a higher timeframe, kind of grinding move here. Like this is what we're looking for. A bounce off of this trend line. Okay, we can get rid of these others in here. Okay, so maybe you'd still be in it. This is where it gets into your way of trading, your way of managing it, your way of assessing the risk and putting that risk strategy together, your money management as well. Oh, for the news, like there's all sorts of things. I mean, you could just go look at Reuters or Bloomberg or anything. Be careful with that too. I mean, at least I am. New York Times, Wall Street Journal, whatever. I can't tell you how many times in here, hey Floyd, how many times I would read the statement and then I would read like from the Fed, for example. Okay, FOMC, I'd read the statement and then I would then read the news later and I'd be like, did they, and I would attend the press conference and then I'd read the news later and I'd be like, did they even attend? Did they even read the statement? Like this is like from another planet. Like their analysis, sometimes the journalists, I've always kind of felt this. I think that the journalists match the price action and try to explain it. So they're waiting for the price to drop or rise and then they're gonna explain it with the headline in the article. They're not reading the statement. They're not talking about it. So that's my opinion and what I've seen. So I like to try to be very objective about that and hey, good morning, figure out money. So yeah, try to be very objective about that. Okay, so that's, I think, I really like that because then I have my outlook on it. That's my personal outlook on it and how did the market react to it? Well, then I will have to ascertain that. Okay, so, yeah, yeah. No, these are great questions. So I wanted to go through in detail and answer them and we can create some content around some of the answers here. Let me get back to Anshul. So Anshul, you're kind of answering your own question and there's buyers and sellers in this market right now. And we already saw that behavior. And when we zoomed into some of these little areas in here, we already saw that. So we already knew. And it started way over here when the webinar first started. And it was here and we marked up these two lines in here. And then like, it was incredible. They just went right to them. I mean, it's not incredible. I mean, we see it, it's amazing to me. It's like, here's the insight, right? Here's where they found sellers initially here at this 93 and a half on the bid, but boom, sellers take them on. Oh yeah, went above it, right. Okay, they came in again here. High liquidity here, very aggressive, close to current price on the bid. Sellers take them on. We were looking to see what the reaction is to this liquidity and we got our answer. We found sellers. So we know there's sellers in here. A lot of the time we get the question about that isn't this a magnet up here, this longer-term liquidity? Yes, it acts like a magnet because the market can trade up here. It knows that. Participants know that. This is that high liquidity that's very short-term that typically repels price away from it. It does not act like a magnet. It's the opposite because the way it works in here is this high liquidity comes in and then it's like all of a sudden there is a very increased demand and it typically kind of spooks the market a little bit. You'll get buyers and they'll trade back up into 4,000 here. It's like all of a sudden there's high demand so something's out of whack. Okay, instead, this is where we know they're selling pressure because they went right for it. They wanted it. They got it. Okay, so that's where we can start to gauge the market already and we already knew that. Now, we went above it and we talked about it. We just note that to begin with and we still look for the overall, that was an event. These are small events. We're looking for the overall move though and we were still bullish to come back up into these areas and we did and then we were trying to read it up in here and I think this is where this is the dupe. Yeah, or the false move and I was like looking pretty good to come back on 05 and then it's like whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Where's the demand here on the bid? There isn't. So that opens the door for these sellers to come in and then start moving that market lower and they did. So, but we never got our mean reversion trade here all the way back down here. Instead, it kind of filled in this area in here. That's what it's done. All right, so now what now do we have here? Okay, so let's go through it now. All right, so then we were just reading this order flow in here and we were reading the higher time frames and putting the pieces together and that we know that we're coming back up and we're finding buyers in here. Great, okay. Well, then they should be able to make it up into this 04, area 05, maybe 10, okay. And then we talked about how to take advantage of that with a trade opportunity. Okay, it's not a trade recommendation guys. We're going through these scenarios and then how to manage some of those scenarios through your trading. Or how to read some of the scenarios, put the pieces together and then how to consider some of the trade management around those scenarios, okay. And looking for a trade opportunity. And yeah, so we covered that.  And then look at this though, right. We know there's still selling pressure in here and here they are right in front of us. Okay, so look at our 90 to 91 level here right in front of the high volume node, okay. They're bidding up, okay, that's bullish. Okay, so what we know now is we know there's buyers and sellers in here in all of this activity here. On the bid though, now we need to see if they stand here and they want to transact, but this is bullish. Okay, they're in front of the high volume node here. And you know, they want to be buyers. They want to be buyers in front of these guys here at 90. They're up at 92, 91 to 92 in here. And that is bullish, okay. Now, what about the other side? Well, sellers coming in hard here. So I think we'll probably get some transactions into this to be honest, or these guys might pull that liquidity. But there's some pretty heavy selling coming in here too. So those sellers will meet those buyers here, right. And that's where we're gonna get some insight, okay. So there's our scenarios here. There's the whole kind of process that we talked about here, going through the different scenarios on different timeframes and putting the order flow together on these different timeframes, okay. So the key here, and to get to simplify the answer to Lee is to mark up your levels, your higher timeframe levels, okay. And then what are you looking for around those levels? Okay, now you can drill down into book map. Now this is interesting here. I mean, I know this is delayed in here, so we're not getting really good data from this. It's too bad my other charts aren't really working too well. Well, we can go with this. This does the trick, I guess. Yeah, so we're down here. Now wicks up above, wicks down below here, right. So yeah, I'd be looking for these sellers here to try to trade it down into this 91 area here, the swing here, these two swings in here. We're already down here. So let's see them try to test it. You know, now we already know two though, that what's down here guys. What's down in that area? Well, we know that there's buyers down there. Okay, now we just trade it into them. Let's see, there it is. Okay, we know there's buyers here. Yep, liquidity, excellently spot on. We know there's liquidity down here. All right, now here's our event here. Okay, now we're getting some insight. They stayed in the book. These guys wanted to get filled here. And they did. Look at the transactions into that liquidity in here. Here as well. Okay, still more selling pressure, but they're still on the bid down here. Okay, so let's see. And we might get the best of both worlds. Unsurely, we might get our mean reversion trade here. Or no, I'm sorry, it's already done it. It's already done it. Okay, now question and scenario we want to look at now is can we bounce off of this? And the answer is no right now. There's still more selling pressure right now. Okay, so then we're looking for more sellers to come back down lower here, back down into this, 94, 93. Okay, now let's just mark it up here. Right, these are the scenarios here. So 94, I'm sorry, 84, 83 down in here. Or can we get buyers back up above this 89 here, right here? Right, so those are the two scenarios right now. And the primary scenario is we're still finding sellers. So I'm looking for them to try to extend this back down. And now we're looking for back down into these, this little range in here, right? And that would be your value area low. Maybe we bounce off of the value area low. And maybe that's where we'll find buyers. And we'll go through the order flow scenarios down here. If we're finding our buyers down here, well then where are they gonna trade it back to? Well, we're looking for the move back to our 98, 89. Okay, still more sellers. Still going with the trend here. More sellers looking for like our 93 maybe down here. Or I'm sorry, 84, 83. Oh, thanks, Paul. Yeah, and let's see what other questions we have in here. Guys, feel free, like answer, or I'm happy to answer any of your questions. So on to get back to answering your question about the mean reversion, is if you do see a lot of buyers and sellers back in here, that's likely back up into this area here. That does open the door for this potential mean reversion trade back into these high volume nodes down here. Okay, then do you're looking for your order flow events in here for that to unwind? Okay, previously we were looking for a shot to the upside in this area here. And then, boy, it's too bad I went and covered all that because this is why I kind of prefer looking at the, we missed all of this, this is really a pity. I'm sorry, my apologies because we're covering other material. This was a good one in here. This is exactly the event. Now I know it's a pity it's hindsight, but look how this repelled price away. This is that high liquidity. This is what it, you see how this happened on Shule? Take a look at this, 98, right? That was a high volume node in here, a small one, but it was a high volume node. Well, this is where they're pushing it through that away from that high volume node. This is the order flow event to push it away from that high volume node. High supply here on the offer followed by sellers. It's repelling price away. So you're looking for, they're setting the direction and they're giving us insight. This is giving us insight in here. So it's a really good event to see that up in here. It was up in here. See how I zoom out and I can't quite see it now. You have to kind of zoom into those areas. And then it traded into, then we're looking at our candlesticks and we're looking at this liquidity in here. Where's it gonna get filled or not? Cause it was bullish that they were bidding up here. So what? It was bullish. We found enough selling pressure to trade into it and they got filled. Buyers got filled. All right, so here we are now down into our value area low, more or less. Okay, so let's go through some buying scenarios now. What are we looking for down here? Okay, well, we're looking for this. Buyers to come in like this. We start with the swings here. Okay, then this swing up here. All right, now the liquidity is up here at 88. So we'd be looking at this 87 swing as well. And now what are we looking for down here? Lack of selling down here. Okay, high liquidity. We wanna see them bid up in front of it as well. We wanna see exhaustion on the sell side. We don't wanna see sellers down here. No big red dots. Okay, so see how there's still more selling pressure in here. Okay, now here comes the attack here by the buyers. So let's see, now we're getting, this would be, if they can get away from these guys here, this will be trap volume. Okay, so that scenario is open here as well. Here's our retest guys. Look at the retest, no selling. Okay, do we get buyers here? If we get buyers here, then I'm looking for the move to 84 and a half. Now they move that liquidity down to 86 and a half and then our 88 level. Okay, if we get buyers up here. Okay, and we're not. And we're still seeing more sellers here. Makes sense? Okay, now we're down at 80. Okay, so, I don't know where that value area high or value area low is, but you know there's gonna be somewhere around in here. Maybe someone else has that info. Still more selling pressure. Okay, let's start to look for this reversal now. Okay, so again, looking for buyers up here. Okay, here's our, see our lack of sellers here on a retest? That's good. Looking for our buyers now. Okay, that's good. That's starting on fold, looking for back to our 83 level now. Okay, maybe a pullback here. We will likely get a pullback here. Because we know that sellers remain in control here. If we don't get a pullback in here, it's just we're gonna see a tremendous amount of buying. Okay, so now what we're looking for is buyers to support it here at 81 or 80. And so far they are. They're on the bid here. Okay, so we're putting again these pieces together. So now we get more buyers in here. We're gonna get the move back up into our swing or let's just call it 85 and a half to 87 and maybe 88. Okay, this could be our bull flag pattern starting to unfold here. Okay, here's our pullback. Okay, pullback to this liquidity. Now interestingly enough, they pulled that liquidity here. And it's bouncing back up though. Okay, so now do we still see, now if this the play here is this value area low, what's the order flow around that level? Well, here they are on the bid at 82. All right, do sellers want it? Hmm, not too clear. Okay, here come our buyers again though. I do not like that it's dark underneath here. We can see sellers whip it down here into 80 pretty quickly. Oh, thanks, Stefan. Looks like, yeah, you become a book map disciple. This is looking good. All right, so they're still seeing, even without too much pressure here on the bid, we're still finding our buyers here. So they're starting to chew away at these levels in here that we're looking at. So we already traded up here. Okay, still, you know, still finding them but we talked about the potential reversal after this move into this liquidity here, right? And these people bottom fishing down here. And then this is where the move pulled away. We got our pullback here and then we got the continuation move. All right, let's see if we can get more buyers back up here and then let's see it. Let's see if they can do it. I'm looking for a skew here on the demand here as well. That'd be good. And then we'll get to our, there it is. Let's see if they, huh, we're finding it back and forth here guys. So yeah, I mean, like, I don't know. I mean, this move to 88, like, yes, volume-wise, yeah, I'd still be looking for this 87-88 here but like just because we just saw that supply or that demand come in here and the sellers went after it, again, it's just making it more difficult to look for that pure directional move. Okay, still, you know, still looking for it but we're starting to note that again. All right, so anyway, this is a really good swing here at 87 and there's liquidity right there. Any questions on that? We were looking for that down in here and then that potential, we, this is again, like I think it gets back to some of the answers I've had is today's all been about Anshule and Lee. Answering that question about buy, you know, the amount of buyers and sellers in here around some of these levels and then putting the, you know, these scenarios together. So down here, we know we're at a down at a low and we're looking at these levels in, you know, in the volume profile, kind of the edge of the profile here. So we're looking for some people to start to buy at those levels. When we know that they're buying here on the bid, we're just looking for the aggressors now to move it away. The thing in here though is we know there's sellers in here and we know there's buyers, right? I mean aggressors and when I talk about that, I'm talking about the aggressors, okay? Which means the market buy and market sell orders. So this pullback in here was to be anticipated. A lot of times we won't get this pullback but you'll just see it's because there's massive buying here, it is, there is no reason to pull back. The sellers, they're gonna get out of the way. They'll get run over by just massive buying.  Okay, so we started to see it and it was kind of equal to some of that selling in here and some of the big dots in here, a little less actually. So back and forth in here is to be anticipated. Okay, unless you just see massive buying come in. Okay, so now that can be worked into your higher timeframe plan as well. Okay, so if you know that, then are you looking for these big bullish moves right now? No, you're not, okay? So you would want to look at or maybe curtail some of those aggressive or looking for these big point moves for that day. It looks good for it to trade up in the 87, still looking for it. Don't like that it's dark underneath. I wanna see them skew it here. I also don't like this up here. There's a little bit of buying up here, very little. Okay, so that means, be careful. A potential exhaustion up here. Well, structurally, we're still making higher highs and higher lows in here. Just looking for more buyers. All right, so answered some of those questions. No, the H contract, no, not yet. Floyd, the way to look that up is just go to CME or just do a Google search for CME volume ES. And then study the open interest and study the volume. Okay, you'll see the December contract is, and we still got a ways to go on the December contract. Yeah. Okay, you had an 85 for your value area low. Okay, great. So they really skewed it through and kind of tested. See how like, you just wanna be really careful about what your levels are, just because there's a value area low, just don't set a limit buy there. Wait for the order flow to give you an edge and understand what it means. Like, you know, it did trade all the way down here to kind of edge of the profile and then it rejected but there was still more trading below it. It traded down here earlier. Okay, but this was low enough and then that for buyers starts to scoop it up. Yeah, thanks, Matt. Greg, let's see here to get the stop and iceberg at the bottom you need to have global plus. No, you do not need to have global plus. You just, you can have global or global plus. That add-on is the MBO bundle. You will need to have rhythmic data and you will need to be trading only or looking at only a CME group futures. So we made it that way on purpose because not everyone's using rhythmic data nor trading CME group instruments. So therefore the add-on works with global or global plus. That doesn't matter. Let's see what else. Okay, looking at some trend lines, Floyd. Yeah, I like trend lines. I like mixing these trend lines together with, look at this strong move, guys. Okay, finally, you know, we're getting the the heavy buying back up into 87. Well, not quite yet, but looking for it. That's pretty heavy buying. So an end beautiful stop run here. So still looking for it to trade higher here, just due to that heavy buying and a bounce off of these little areas in here could come all the way back down here, but most likely in here. For many reasons we've covered in the past why we're looking for a bounce here. And then now let's see it, let's see it buyers. You should have it, they're on the bid here. We should find the buyers. We should trade up into this liquidity here and here, I think we can get to 90 as well. Okay, and then, because we know there's buying pressure in here as well, right? Well, where are we looking for? Well, 90 is pretty good, 88's pretty good too. And, you know, this was kind of the edge of that profile earlier. Okay, so I really like 90. It lines up really well with all of this liquidity over here. So let's mark that level up at 90. And then here's our bull flag. Looking forward to play out guys. Impulse pullback, followed by impulse here. Okay, up into 90. Oh yeah, Fogo. I think it's easy.  That's it. Strictly off of order flow. Well, I mean, Lee asked the question earlier about like higher timeframe process. Okay, and then basically I use the same process here and our education is based off of the same process of understanding order flow at the most binary levels and then working your way up. So your monthly chart is just order flow basically. Your weekly chart is just order flow.  And understand these order flow kind of scenarios or the order flow events and kind of order flow in the market structure on those higher timeframes and then just keep drilling down. Okay, so we got up into only 88 and then we found some sellers. Okay, I really like the 90 and maybe you can get up into 92 as well where it dropped from here. So really back and forth and choppy. We know that there's buyers and sellers in here and all of this action, aggressors. Okay, there's our 90 level guys. Okay, so that would be it for me. That's what I was looking for was 90. This is where we saw this really interesting or kind of covered that. No, I'm sorry, it wasn't that move. It was actually a little bit higher, I think, right? Yeah, it was up here. Here's where they, this is where they moved the market and skewed it and just totally moved it away here. So it was up around 98 right here. Wow. Okay, so we're back up here already. So I'm looking for them to come right back to these guys here at 98. Okay, that would be my, that would be, it would be another event after I took some profit and then now looking for a 98, we're just about there. Okay, we're gonna get some sellers up here, I imagine. Okay, so I would be taking profit up here around 98 as well. Anyway, talking about trend lines, we're talking about the, basically, it's like volume profile, you're just looking at a diagonal, that's all. Okay, so instead of looking at this horizontal area here, you're looking at a diagonal area like this here. And then looking at the volume and price action within it to understand who's in control I mean we know that it, that it aspires. But if you get up here and you start to see a lack of buying, okay, or selling down here, that's telling you something, right, even in the diagonal. I mean, of course in the diagonal. So, oh thanks David, yeah. So we're back up to 4,000 basically. Guys, pretty choppy, but let's take a quick look back at our higher timeframe in here. Okay, so we left off here on the 15 minute chart looking at buyers trying to trade back up into these higher levels here, 05 into 10. And then the sellers came in and then we're looking for just the move down into this 91 area. It traded into it and through it and we still saw selling pressure. So still staying with it until we saw when there might be buyers coming in and then we did see the potential reversal here and we talked about it. Okay, and the edge of the profile here, we know that there's buying pressure still, right? So we're looking for them and waiting for them to come in. And then we're looking for our reversal around that point. All right. Seb, we just talked about fundamentals. So we talked earlier about fundamentals and how that sets the tone. Okay, and then we're looking at our technical levels on top of that. Or we're looking at price action and order flow events which just basically means, Seb, what do traders think of the news? That's where, this is where you're gonna get your insight here. Okay, so if you wanna just trade off fundamentals, well, yeah, I mean, I think you're really losing an edge there because how many times when you think the news is bullish or bearish and the market does exactly the opposite. Okay, so you have to know the participants in the fundamental events. And what's even more fascinating about that is you might wanna tune into Doug plus options with Doug at 1.30 today. Because Doug is gonna go through his options, strategies and reading order flow. The reason being is that it was amazing to me like that we saw, he covered the FOMC, I don't know, a week or two ago, whenever it was. And we saw these positions and options beforehand and the price movement around those options, positions was amazing. So sometimes you get these knee-jerk reactions right at the event and the numbers and the options, positions of larger players has tremendous impact on that. So again, it's not about the fundamental event, it's how the traders were positioned for that fundamental event. How do you understand where the flow is going? Well, just read it. We're looking for the context here, Antonio, between the market buy and sell orders. The green dots are market buy orders. Look at how it just moves that market higher. And then market sell are red dots. But who are they trading with? Who's taking the other side of the trade? That's the liquidity and the heat map here. So that's where you can read both buyers and sellers in the auction process here. Like they're on the bid here at 95. Sellers traded into these guys. So what's the context now? Do we find buyers back up again? Great, well then they should be able to trade back up into the top of the range here or maybe back up into here, which would be the figure, 4,000. If we get our sellers coming in, then we're looking for our 94 and then 92 and a half here. This liquidity and then also down here, 90, this liquidity. Yeah, you're welcome, Lee. You keep practicing. Just keep, try to keep it simple, Lee. I mean, the simpler the better. So you know how to react. Okay, just like we're going through in these higher timeframe levels in here. You know, what are we looking for around here? Well, we're looking for buyers to support it in here. They were on the bid. Okay, this is a good example here, right in here, right? These wicks in here, let's just go back and we'll end it with this here. Guys, if you like this, please give us a like as well. Hit the like button, hit the subscribe button. You'll be more involved with the webinars and the different streams that we have in here. We have many as I covered in the beginning of the webinar. So in this area here, 90, 91, right? That's what we talked about earlier. And that's where we saw all that liquidity in here. Okay, right in here. Okay, so they were supporting it and it was bullish too, they were in front of it. So what happened though? We had way more sellers than we had limit buy orders. Okay, now not only did we have that, when we zoomed in here, we saw something pretty good. Well, it wasn't actually here. There was a little bit on the offer here and that helped push price, but this is mostly aggressors, the market sell. It was up here though, they really pushed it through in here. Reaction to that high liquidity in here on the offer, it repelled the buyers. Now, Greg, I mean, the different setups and a database of it, we have the bookmap insights, bookmap.com slash insights. There's also this here, guys.  This is a competition that we're having right now. It's open to everybody. This blue jacket competition here. This is about creating content. Read through it here, I'll put this into the chat. And you can win a free subscription to Bookmap Global Plus. Including data in here, that's a really nice offering. Three months, including data. And also this opportunity here to be more involved with the Bookmap team. Really, really nice benefit here. So yeah, take a look here and then how to participate. Now, you create some content, create some setups in here, guys. We'll put it into the Bookmap Insights page. I'll show you where that is. Here, okay? And then in here, you can see all sorts of setups in here. So this is the place to go for looking for setups. And let me put that in here for you guys. There you go. And hold on, in YouTube, let me put that in here for you. Guys, so let me see here.  That's what I really like to look for. And they're just telling you, this is where price wants to go. And when you start to see that starting to unfold, it just is telling you something. We go through the scenarios in here and we look for it to start to unfold. Like, for example, in here, we were looking for, God, where was that flag pattern? God, I can't remember. I think it was in here, maybe. Oh yeah, we talked about it in here. It's like, yeah, buyers coming in, support here, good. We're looking for a flag pattern in here, but it pulled back to here because we know that there's some selling still in here. Then we get back up in here, but this looks good to me. And then in here, yeah, I would probably shy away from that. Once I start to see some of this though in here, I'm in and looking for these higher levels in here. I don't know. I mean, that's in hindsight right now, of course, but we cover it in real time all the time. Now, this too could turn into a big flag pattern right in here. Look, strong buying, pullback, not so strong. Strong buying, starting to come back in. Great. Okay, let's look for order flow to give us some insight in here. Look for a pullback maybe. And then, again, we're looking for strong buying though. If we get it in here, take a shot at it. It's not a trade recommendation. Take a shot at it though, and you're looking for a move back into O2, O3, 5 to 10. Maybe it'll even get up into 15 and 20 today, okay? So anyway, that's, when you start to see these really strong moves in here, I like to go with it. Those are the easiest moves for me. I find the easiest to get involved with. See how we found some, I wasn't anticipating this. Okay, so what would that be for me? Will that be a scratch or a small stop? In this case, it would have been a stop loss. That would have been a, I would have been out. Okay, I'll look for the next one. I would take a small loss on that. Okay, I'm still looking for it. In fact, I'm still looking for those buyers. This is a strong move, right? So got to go through your scenarios and look for something that you know that the buyers or the sellers are in control. I think it's just, that'll be a nice edge. So here they come, right? So you can see this back and forth in here today, but I'm still looking for this to go higher. We know that there's a bunch of strong buying in here. Let's jump back and look at our higher timeframe. Well, here's what happened. And this is still bullish in here, guys. This 15 minute chart is still bullish. We're still making higher highs and higher lows. Okay, so looking for buyers to come back up into these areas here. So we've already had our pullback. We're finding strong buying already. So I'm looking for them to trade up into like, well, these wicks first and then take some off. So 4,001, 0305, and then maybe we can even find more buying to get up higher. All right, so we look for it. This is a big shakeout back and forth trending or not trending, a counter trend move. And now we're looking for the flow, order flow to take this higher. Okay, that's the primary scenario at least, okay? And it still looks good here. Still looks good. I would still be looking for our 01, our 02, our 05. And that's high of the day, in fact, 05. All right, all right, guys. So let's, we'll call it a day. So Tom B is already going. I've already kind of eaten into some of his time. You should be redirected right over to his webinar. He's a volume profile trader. So Anshul, you wanna jump over there and check that out. He looks at the S&P E-mini exclusively. No, he also looks at the NQ. And it'll be order flow around volume profile levels. You're watching both, Floyd. Okay, yeah, so go check it out. Guys, the streams continue. After that, we have options with Doug and then after that, we have the Algorboys later at the close. Have a good day, everybody. Subscribe, hit the like button, and then we'll see you tomorrow. Thanks for coming.


Welcome to the world of Shanghainese, my name is Yuan Zhang, lecturer in linguistics and the languages of China. I'm a native speaker of Shanghainese. Let me start by showing you what I plan to do for this series. So each time I will either talk about the Shanghainese language itself or I will talk about something related to Shanghai society and the Shanghai community. Today is a general introduction about Shanghainese. If you take a look at this map, against the red arrow, there is a striped patch which is what we call the area for Wu languages. In this picture on the right, you see an overview of the dialects in China where against the red arrow again, the red patch shows the Wu languages area which is enlarged on the left. So on the left, the major cities are usually related to the major dialects in the Wu dialect area. So you see Shanghai, Suzhou, Ningbo, Shaoxing, Wenzhou and Jinghua. They are all related to distinct dialects. In total, the Wu languages have 80 million speakers that's ranked the second largest cluster of languages in China and the 10th in the world. This is a map of greater Shanghai. It has an area of 6,340 square kilometers. And the registered regular residents there by the year 2019 is around 24 million, 24.28 million to be exact. How many speakers of Shanghainese are there in this area? So this is harder to tell. But what we can find is a record related to the census in the year 2013. At that time, there was a language survey of the regular residents which accounts for 24.15 million people there. At that time, 97% of people claim themselves to be speakers of Mandarin. That is also called Hu Tonghua, general Chinese. And also among this population of regular residents, 81.4% of people claim themselves to be speakers of Shanghainese. So we can say that many people living in Shanghai are bilingual. And so what we can also deduce is that in the year 2020, there could be more than 20 million speakers of Shanghainese. Something about the historical development of the language. Early Shanghainese, it's said to be evolved from the mixture of middle Chinese with the indigenous Baiyue language or languages. So it took shape in the span from the spring and autumn period to the Han dynasties, which is a long period. The second phase is modern Shanghainese, which spans between 1843 to mid-1950s. 1843 is the year immediately after the First Opium War when Shanghai became a trading port open to the Western powers following the signing of the Treaty of Nanjing. In the mid-1950s, marked the introduction by the Chinese People's Republic of China's central government, the introduction of a series of language reform measures, which had great impacts on all dialects in China. Because it was at that time when Mandarin and also the related Hu Tonghua, standard Chinese, was explicitly promoted. For contemporary Shanghainese, that is the language spoken by people since the 1950s, there are three variants. First, the old variant that is typically spoken by people born in the 1920s and the 1930s, and it overlaps a lot with modern Shanghainese, you know, Shanghainese used between 1843 and the 1950s. And it is still a variant, which is widely used in the suburban areas of Shanghai, with the intending to be pejorative suburban areas, that's the outskirts of the downtown area of Shanghai. If you are there, you'll find that this is a vast stretch of area, and it is used even among the younger people there. The middle variant of Shanghainese, contemporary Shanghainese, is now commonly taken to be the standard variant, that is often the variant that is being taught in textbooks and radio programs, like this program. And it is the variant used by the majority of middle-aged people in the urban areas of Shanghai. By middle-aged, I mean people born between the 1960s and before the 1990s. The new variant, it is the variant mostly used by very young people in the urban area, and it has some distinct phonetic and lexical features, but certainly it also overlaps a lot with the middle variant, and it is often code mixed with Putonghua or standard Mandarin. That is because many young people don't really know how to express the exact concepts and ideas in Shanghainese proper. Now, I want to give you a taste of Shanghainese by reading a paragraph, first in Mandarin and then in Middle Shanghainese. The paragraph is taken from a recent and so-called very Shanghainese novel called Fanhua, and in English it is called Blossoms. In Mandarin, Du Shang Ge Lou, the best is Ye Li, the taste of the past. Liang Chao Wei, A Fei Zheng Zhuan, Jie Wei's appearance. Under the light, it is called Chao Piao. It is called Fang Jing Xi Zhuang Nei Dai. It is also called Qing Shuang Fang Ru Kou Dan. It is called Fu Ke Pai Xi Kai. It is called Fu Ke Pai Xi Kai. Then it is called Su Tou. San Qi Fen Tou. It is called Xi Xi Su Hao. Quan Shen Bi Ting. It is called the Lan Shan in the bones. Finally, Guan Deng. This paragraph is the most Shanghainese, the best. Now, Middle Shanghainese. Du Shang Ge Lou. Zhu Huo Ye Li. Du Chi Ge Mi Tou. Liang Chao Wei, A Fei Zheng Zhuan, Jie Wei's appearance. Under the light, it is called Su Chao Piao. It is called Fang Jing Xi Zhuang Nei Dai. It is called Qing Shang Fang Ru Kou Dan. It is called Fu Ke Pai Xi Kai. It is also called Fu Lei. Ru Zi Shi Tou. San Qi Fen Tou. It is called Xi Xi Su Hao. Xu Shen Bi Ting. Tou Chao Guo Dou Li Ge Le Xi. Zhu Er Gui Deng. It is called the Zhu Shang Tei. Zhu Ge Lou. Well, I must say that the written language stands between the Shanghainese and its proper expression. Well, what you can find is that Shanghainese is indeed very unique. You'll probably agree with me that it is mutually unintelligible with Mandarin. And in fact, because I have knowledge of Cantonese as well, I used to work in Hong Kong for a long time, more than 20 years. I can tell you that Shanghainese is also mutually unintelligible with Cantonese. But if you are in the Wu language area or Wu dialect area, you'll find that Shanghainese is mutually intelligible with most of the Wu Chinese, especially like Ningbo dialect and Suzu dialect. Probably with the exception for Wen Zou Wu dialect, which is a bit more unique. What also makes Shanghainese unique compared with Mandarin is that it has five tones. Well, Mandarin has four. And Cantonese has nine. What is more interesting is that Shanghainese has a rich tone-sandy system. What do we mean by tone-sandy? Well, for Chinese, we know that each syllable in Chinese stands for one character. Or this is probably not the right way of saying it. But we can say that in Chinese, each character is usually equivalent to one syllable. And each syllable has a fixed tonal value that differentiates among different meanings. So when you have two syllables put together in meaningful, in a meaningful lexical form, then the tones will be affected by the neighboring tones. So the tonal values will change. What if we had three tones or three characters put together, or four, or five? Well, for Shanghainese, then the tonal values of each can be affected. So when you pronounce a sentence, then you keep on having tone-sandy. And it is very difficult for you to try to mark down the tones because you have to change the tonal value in the context. Next is that Chinese has a unique lexicon. If you read Mandarin, sometimes you can tell which words are borrowed from Chinese. And Shanghainese certainly has an idiosyncratic grammar, even though that this aspect has been very much understudied. And finally, believe it or not, Shanghainese is among the variants of Chinese, Shanghainese is the most recorded in written form, next only to Mandarin. Especially for that historical period, which is what we call the modern Shanghainese period between 1843 and the 1950s. For that period, a lot of scripts in Shanghainese were published, especially due to the great efforts of Western missionaries. That is something we'll return to later. That is a very interesting topic for me. So from a social linguistic point of view, there is also a very interesting hot topic that is often picked up recently. Is Shanghainese in danger or not? Well, for a lot of experts who have informed knowledge about endangered language studies, like many of my colleagues at Sours, they will probably say, at first impression, they will probably say that, no, Shanghainese is still very safe, because the language has 20 million speakers. But then for a lot of people who are worried about the future of Shanghainese, especially in Shanghai, they would say, yes, Shanghainese is very much endangered, because it is quickly losing a lot of its unique, distinct features, especially in terms of phonetics and in terms of, let's say, the study of lexical aspects of the language. Because Shanghainese used to be considered as a one language representative of the Wu languages. But then it is quickly losing a lot of its distinct features at too fast a pace within a short span of 30 years. Now, people would say that Suzhou dialect is a representative Wu language. Shanghainese, well, maybe not, because it is so often used with a lot of code switching between Shanghainese and Mandarin. That is, people start with a sentence in Chinese, but then they shift to the use of Mandarin terms in the middle, because they don't know how to express them in proper Shanghainese. This is alarming. And for a lot of people living in Shanghai, they would say that losing Shanghainese means the loss of Shanghainese culture. Believe it or not, again, revolution has removed a lot of cultural relics in Shanghai, but then a lot of former cultural values still exist with great resilience in Shanghai language itself. And just a little bit more about that aspect is that we can say that after revolution, people tried hard to have a better life in China and in Shanghai. But then now they wake up to find that in between, they have lost their own dialect or language, which is a great pity, isn't it? Many times, well, this is because of the promotion of Mandarin. There is nothing wrong with the promotion of Mandarin, but then it is still a great pity to see your own language being lost as a result. So now it's getting a bit clear why I'm trying to promote or at least to introduce Shanghainese to more people here. One reason I think it's always interesting for people interested in knowing about different languages, that is what we call language buffs, it is always interesting for them to get to know the wonder of a new language. This time, we're talking about a Chinese language, which is now Mandarin, yet it is still a Han language. It is probably not easy to find a Chinese who can speak both Cantonese and Shanghainese. In addition to Mandarin, which every Chinese can probably speak, and this is also from my experience, and it is probably even rarer for us to find a native speaker of English who has these feats. That is, I have never met a native speaker of English who can speak both Chinese and Cantonese fluently. So this is a challenge. I hope the English native speakers can meet. The second reason for us to promote Chinese here is to invite people to experience Chinese culture through the language. You may find yourselves in Shanghai one day, and it will be a good opportunity for you to use the language there, and you'll be responded with great warmth by the local people. The third reason is related to the idea of Chinese being endangered. We can't certainly go back to the past by trying to speak modern Chinese again, that is, using a lot of its phonetic features there. I don't think it is ever possible to do that. But then what we can still do is to use Chinese more, think about Chinese, rather than using Mandarin only. And this is one, I believe, important way to invigorate the language. So I want to encourage more people to speak, and even more people to learn about it, to know that there is an important language in China, and there is also an important cluster of languages called Wu languages in China, which is often unduly represented only by Mandarin. Because if you take a look at the charts of the most used languages in the world, you don't see Wu languages, because Wu languages, mysteriously, have been swallowed by Mandarin. So you only see Mandarin there. What are the prerequisites and requirements for you to learn Chinese if you want to? This is something I'm going to do, in fact. Well, we can take it as a module, which has never been taught at Seoul's event, even though they teach Mandarin, Cantonese, and Mingnan dialects there. Well, you need to be curious about languages. And it would be a plus for you to know some Chinese characters that will make it easier for us to quote sentences, even though I really plan to introduce a romanization system for Chinese, which is, in fact, different from the romanized system for Mandarin, which is called Ping-In as well. So it is the Chinese Ping-In system. And I hope you'll be willing to reflect on the structure of the language, and you'll be willing to do some practices, Jews with me. And I will end this session and every session afterwards with some recommended links, which I sometimes I can't show you the linked content because of copyright reasons. But then, at least, you can click on the links and view for yourselves.


Maybe we have some really exciting news to share with you guys. Construction has finally started at Canada's Wonderland, and when I say construction has finally started, I mean actual land clearing, so you guys will see that very shortly. As you can tell, Winterfest setup is almost done. In today's video, you will see Holly Jolly Trolley doing rehearsals, which I was really excited about, but don't worry, this isn't a Winterfest update, there'll be some little bit of updates on Winterfest, but it's gonna mostly be on the construction. Nothing going on in terms of Kingswood. We got to talk to the park today about it, and there wasn't too much comments about what's gonna happen with Kingswood in the future. They are removing the tent that is confirmed now, so I can confirm that you will see the tent being removed in Kingswood, and then they don't really have any plans with what's coming. It is not being removed for any future plans, it is just being removed at this current moment. There will not be any land clearing anytime soon on that plot of land either, the tent is just coming down, and after that, that's pretty much all they're gonna do for now. But if you look on over, behind Yukon's first Immelman, first inversion near the mountain, you will see land clearing taking place. They have a couple of excavators over there doing some excavating things. Mountainside Bakery is removed, it did get scrapped unfortunately, and yeah, the land clearing is taking place. The park did confirm, Grace confirmed with us today, that they will be releasing renderings for the building after Winterfest. They're gonna wait till after Winterfest. It is absolutely stunning based off of what we're hearing, and very large, and it's truly exciting. It is also confirmed, you know what, I'll say that for a separate video. We have an interview with the park that will save the tidbits for you guys in a separate video, but a lot of really exciting things are gonna be happening at Canada's Wonderland over the next couple of years, so truly exciting. It was super awesome to be at Wonderland today getting some information on Winterfest for you guys, and some of those rumors and speculation answers answered as well. So definitely got as much as we could out of the park today, and it was honestly really surprising at some of the questions that they answered, and you know, obviously marketing and not answering some others, but very telling. But nonetheless, with construction starting on the restaurant, super excited, it's guaranteed gonna be 2022. The park confirmed that as well. The 100 foot light tunnel is still being constructed over on Orbiter's new path, the pathway that replaced Orbiter, and then outside of that, nothing much exciting to report on. Obviously, there's no construction elsewhere in the park. They're still prepping for Winterfest. It has been a huge project to get Winterfest ready in the 12 days that they are allotted, but nonetheless, we have some exciting news about a future extension to the season at Canada's Wonderland, but again, that'll be in a separate video. I'm not gonna touch on that in this video. We got a lot of details, again, that we're super excited about, as you can tell I'm in a really good mood. But that's mostly because of Winterfest. Honestly, I'm so excited Winterfest starts this Saturday. You can catch Craig and I there, both of us. Okay, that is rare. To get both of us at Canada's Wonderland, it is rare. So if you're a huge fan of the channel or just like super awesome and supportive of everything we do, Craig and I will be at Wonderland this Saturday and this Sunday, both days. So feel free to come up and say hey, unless we're filming. Again, if you see us film in the shows, we're just gonna be filming a lot of the entertainment on day one and then some vlogs. But feel free to come up and say hey to us as long as we're not at a show filming just so it doesn't get in the way of filming the show. But again, super excited. So excited to get back in that park. I miss Winterfest so much is such a great event you have to go. I guess I should put this in this video. The vaccine requirement unfortunately, due to York Region laws and requirements, a negative COVID test will not get you into the park. They do not need photo ID to get into the park matched with your thing. You just need a government ID with your name on it. So again, a health card will work without a photo. And outside of that again, that is that's pretty much it. Yeah, I think that's it. I don't want to miss anything. Oh, at front gate they were were what do you call it sawing off the posts for the queue lines. So those are now gone at front gate on the left side so far they got rid of all the queue posts. So that was interesting gonna be keeping an eye on that they sawed them off then saw them down so you can't trip over them as a tripping hazard. But yeah, super exciting stuff happening at Canada's Wonderland. We are very confident in a very bright future at Canada's Wonderland over the next five years a lot of exciting things are going to happen with season extensions longer operating seasons, new rides, new attractions, new experiences and atmospheres and stuff like that. So couldn't be more excited. Thank you so much for watching this video. Thank you so much for supporting the channel. And today was just honestly, so amazing. Thank you to sandwich on Instagram for helping out with filming today. A huge thank you to Canada's Wonderland and Grace for having us out to talk about Winterfest and all future things. Thanks so much guys. Thank you for everything you do in terms of helping me. And yeah, I'll keep you guys posted on the future of Canada's Wonderland and trust me, we'll be the first ones to know. Have a good one. Bye


Trust, betrayed, friends and mentors slaughtered, unendurable loss, endured. But how well? Jedi Survivor's ending cutscene highlights a side to Carl Kester's we haven't seen, and illuminates before the player in the motion that games continue to struggle in representing. Grief. Despairing grief, the sorrow of not only losing the guiding light that's there has been twice over Carl's journey, but of having to end the life of Boat, a friend turned traitor. A figure, moreover, that held up a mirror to Carl, in a reflection darkened over all the right reasons. Boat was a fantastic final enemy to face because Carl would have likely made every sacrifice and compromise Boat made if their positions were reversed. His death, avoidable and of his own doing, is tragedy. Driven by fear and the need to protect his daughter, Kata. Boat refuses to see that she doesn't need protecting, not from Carl, not from Maren. This is tragic irony of the highest order, and what makes it even more potent is that Carl is right there with the audience. Aware of the way things have to end, hoping against hope, that Boat doesn't force his hand. To increase this sense of tragic irony, the name of the tense bombastic track that plays throughout this final showdown is what else, brothers. Back to that final scene. Time speeds up around Carl, but he is untouched by it, gaze never wavering from the funeral pyres before him. He looks more haunted than he's ever been as the night progresses. As the dawn shines on him, the effect of the light is reminiscent of so many other times we've seen Star Wars play with shades of blue and red. And with Carl's earlier embrace of the dark side, unsatisfyingly damned how it was as I've spoken in my review, I wondered if this might not be where Jedi survivor leaves off, with Carl shattered by despair in a way that resonated so strongly with me. With him more vulnerable to the dark side of the force than ever before. But then, Respawn knows how to pack a final punch. That last appearance by Seir, and I'm willing to bet it's the last time we will see her, is a ray of hope of forging a new of purpose for Carl. His reaction to her words, the slightest movement of his head, invites speculation as to whether he heard her last utterance at all. Perhaps they are spoken for our, the audience's benefit, and Carl is given only this last sensation of her presence through the force. Whatever the case, this final coda cements the scene as the most powerful cathartic moment across not one, but two games. I hope the last game in the Jedi trilogy turns out to be a dad-of-girl kind of adventure, one that sees Carl in Mirren, parent teenage Carter through the latter stages of the rebellion. If the writing team over at Respawn has proven anything, it's that they can pull on the audience's emotional threads to deliver Star Wars stories full of heart and extraordinary characters. Whatever issues Jedi Survivor had and continues to have, this ending is among the strongest in all the Star Wars franchise, despair and grief, but also hope and renewed purpose. As far as modern mythos goes, you can't ask for more than that. I've spoken about Jedi Survivor at length in my review. If you want to hear about that, you can check out my video review from several months ago. You may also wish to see my review of Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. I treasure the deepest fondness for that first game in the series. I also review books, talk about the occasional game demo that catches my fancy and have an irregular column about Star Wars comics and books on my blog The Grimoire Reliquary. I should probably get back to reading those, eh? If you enjoyed this video, please ring that bell for notifications, don't forget to subscribe, smash the like button and leave a comment. What short but deep dive would you like me to make next, if any? Let me know. I'm Philip Magnus, you're not, and I'll see you again next time. Bye!
