This second coming of .com, people are believing that they're doing something special in an environment like this and they're not. I think this is an environment. Welcome to Access a Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process and own your future. Hey guys, good morning everybody. Welcome to another edition of the Access a Trader .com. We can update show hope everybody is doing well. Hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving. Just a quick quick announcement before we get going. Today is the last day to take advantage of the really really cool offer we made for Black Friday and a lot of you guys have been kind of on the fence. Again, pivots are very specific. They're not for everybody. They're not for the brand new trader. It's for people who've been trading for a while. They're just kind of stuck in that rut. They just need kind of a different advantage or kind of a different view of the market. Everybody talks about trading normal and this is kind of not the normal, right? This is kind of something that is a very very specific edge to this. This is something that you need to be very very patient for. So if you've been kind of, you know, wondering and curious about pivots and see if it's a right fit for you, tonight is the last day to take advantage of that special price thing. It's like 47 bucks. If nothing at all, you're getting the four-hour workshop of the ps60 theory just breaking down the theory. And again, you could use it for Bitcoin, crypto, mid-cap, small-cap and obviously beta that I trade because again, you're looking to trade the process. You're not looking to trade individual stocks. So if you are on the fence, just kind of announce what today's the last day to take advantage of it. And if you do, I think you will enjoy it. So let's get into the markets. Again, market continues pretty, you know, pretty historic run. Dow topped 30,000 for the first time. Not that it means anything. I remember the Dow going first time. 9,000 and 10,000, 15,000. It doesn't matter, right? You're not getting a special bonus check in your bank account. I give you my word, but it is pretty cool. It's a water cooler talk considering how horrid, horrific. I mean, all these, you know, really bad adjectives you could describe 2020. The market has stand out, has stood out, as being one of the constant good things out there on a day-to-day basis. And I guess, yes, it defined logic and it's a completely you know, it completely mirrors the whole George Costanza theory of, you know, completely do the opposite of what's logical. But again, that's what with the market we have. And I know a lot of people have been doing incredibly well this year. A lot of people started trading this year. And I just want you guys to understand this will end. Okay, this will absolutely. And again, when we were in the heyday during the dot-com days, again, again, my friends won't admit this. And I've kind of admitted this to myself years ago that, you know, we got lucky during the dot-com craze. Okay, nobody knew how to trade. And it's not the first time you hear me saying that. And we got lucky because it was an incredibly hot market. Nobody knew what we were doing. All we were doing is taking overnight on really, really hot, exaggerated stocks. And because it was the new hot thing, the dot-com, we, you know, basically did okay. And this is kind of the second coming of dot-com. People are believing that they're doing something special in an environment like this, and they're not. I think this is an environment that, if you've watched a previous interview with myself and my former mentor, Reston P. Meyer Hoffman, he basically was making comments about during the dot-com era and said, it's not that we were doing anything right. The market was so strong. This didn't make a difference where you entered the trade. And again, of course, I'm paraphrasing, but the market would make you right. And I think that's where a lot of new traders are being confused. You know, they think they're doing something right. And then the reality is probably if you had to sit back a year from now, two years from now, five years from now, and kind of think about this time, you'll also realize that, yeah, you might have been applying some things that were good, right? And you first started out. But again, remember, everything is being exaggerated. Usually you do not see stocks going up three, four, five, 800% for the year, right? You just don't. When you look at it, for example, like a zoom, and it's up whatever the hell it's up for the year, it doesn't even crack the top three of the biggest percentage winners for the year. So the market is exaggerated. And I think that, you know, the novice trader, they're catching a wave, which is great. Again, I think if you start trading, it's so hard to begin with.  So it's nice to get that initial way that you're riding. But don't think for a second you're doing something that's right. The market is making you right. The market that usually that you would buy that $12, $15 stock and a normal interval would sit in a 30 cent range throughout the whole day, right? A market like this, the stock is going up $1.5, $2 throughout the same interval. So again, it's great that you're catching the wave, but just understand it's going to stop and every hot market stops. We're just trying to, you know, just really grasp and hold on to this tape as long as possible. Because again, eventually when things get tired and buyers go on strike and they do in every aggressive market, you're going to have to really figure out how to trade. Okay. And then you're going to realize what I realized that all my friends realize that came nine, you know, 2001 through 2003, especially for me, I didn't make a penny from 2001, 2003 is we didn't know how to trade. We got very, very lucky. We were in the right place at the right time. Now you got to figure things out. So before you get to that point, okay, it's very, very important to kind of take a step back and realize what's working and what's not. What's driving this market right now and why is it so exaggerated? And I think the most simplistic point of view and I tweeted, I tweeted this out. I think it was yesterday. I'm not an options trader. I'm probably the most novice option trader you'll probably going to meet. I've been doing this now almost 21 years. I don't trade options. I'm an equity guy. But the one thing that I realized, you know, in the last year, year and a half, and this is one of my biggest takeaways, especially for 2020, any speculation money you've seen this year, right? Any move like a Neo, for example, right? Like a Neo or recently like a PLTR. Okay. Like one of these really, really great moves. It started with really aggressive option flow, like really deep out of the money option flow. And that's been kind of the fuse. They've been setting up the fire to a lot of these names, a lot of these big, big runners in 2020. And it all starts out the same way. And again, you've seen a lot of my videos, we're talking about, you know, stocks, like for example, like an Amazon, I'll give you a perfect example, like Amazon, you know, four days ago, we talked about the sneaky pit of 3044, they were coming for the 3,200, the 3,300, 3,400 calls, yada, yada, yada, two days later stocks of 3,200. Obviously massive call buying in Tesla for the last two weeks as well, you've seen what happened there. But I think it all stems from the same core, the same foundation. And for all you new traders, if you just take away one thing from this year, okay, and the aggression and kind of eliminate the noise and eliminate the euphoria, you'll realize that just kind of what I've just been saying, a lot of these names have been sparked exactly the same way. So for example, you know, take a stock like FSR, right? So FSR had this really, really big two, three day run. And, you know, it's resting now, had this big run, it broke out again, we talked about a nausea about the pivot there, at the $17, 1830 level, it broke out 2160, had a really, really big move on Friday, we'll talk about the individual pivots in a second. But what's driving this market and had a really good rest, you can see here, had a nice rest here, rest day compared to $6 move prior, we started seeing again, continuation of option flow for Friday's session, the December 25, again, stocks at $20 a share, why they buying the out of the money calls, again, that's where the driving force of price per shares keeps on flowing. And the option market for at least 2020, because again, I've been really using option flow in all my trading for the last year, year and change, I've realized the same thing, you know, the option market comes first, they're buying, you know, it's the same formula, they're buying the near term expiration deep out of the money calls. And once it confirms the previous range, whether it's right, whether it's daily, okay, daily, or macro, or even channels in between, that's what sparks the stock. And that's when you start seeing the price really start to escalate, because again, the options market's been driving the equity market now for the last year. And you see this with the smaller cap names, you see this with obviously with beta names, you know, as early as two weeks ago, when Tesla broke out, you know, broke out above this whole range here, and we, you know, we've not come with me catching Tesla incredibly well, when it broke out above this whole 462 level, that's when you started seeing the 500s, the 550 calls being traded for two weeks out, right. Now we're seeing in this massive, massive run, now we're seeing, and you go back to even Friday session, you're seeing the 700s, the 720 calls couple of days ago, so the 1050 calls. So this is what's driving the market. So the one takeaway, especially for your new traders, even if you don't trade on the option side, and I've been saying this throughout the year, but it really does hold a lot of water, especially going into 2021, we don't know what we're going to get in 2021. Maybe we get a continuation market of what we saw in 2020, maybe the market becomes more tamed, and instead of having a stock go from 10 to 15 in 24 hours, maybe the stock goes from $10 to 11, right, maybe it goes from $10 to 1050, but the common denominator, what I'm going to continue to use in my arsenal, you know, is the option water flow, pay attention to the hot money. So even if you don't trade options, get yourself an option scanner. Okay, most of them are like this, this three companies are really good, they're all comparable, Flow Algo is really good, Cheddar is pretty good, and trade alerts are all good, they're all comparable. They range from like 150 bucks to like 350 bucks, right. It's so necessary to understand why your stocks are moving, right. It's so crucial to really understand that, you know, it's giving you so much more of a dynamic look, knowing that people are going in two, three, four, 500,000 a million dollars worth of premium in a name that you're about to trade. And once that channel finally confirms, you already know with confidence you're about to enter a trade that some guy just paid $1.5 million in premium just yesterday for a trade that's $5 out of the money expiring in two weeks. So it's an incredible tool, even if you don't trade options, it's so necessary to understand the order flow and the significance of it. Invest in your business, guys, believe me, you don't need a $5,000 trading set, okay. I've been buying, I haven't been doing this for 21 years. I've been buying Dell desktops, the Dell towers from Best Buy, okay. It's four, 500 bucks. You don't need a $5,000 set ups, you don't need, you know, $1,000 monitors, okay. Invest in things they're going to matter and things, invest in things that are going to enhance your trading ability, not nonsense cosmetic stuff that you're, you know, you're tweeting out on social media. Spend 150 bucks on option flow, okay. You're going to see why PLTR had this massive run, okay. This massive run didn't start up here, okay. They were coming for the $15 calls right here when the stock broke out. They were coming for $20 calls when the stock was consolidating this area here and now you're seeing ridiculous call buying. You're seeing the 40s, the 45s. I mean just really, really big. Again, the move is gone. The trade is over, but the meat of the bone started when you started seeing very, very aggressive option flow and once it started confirming on the daily channel had made their big move.  I give you my word and anybody's been trading for a long time, you can spend four, 500 bucks on a desk or Hewlett Packer tower.  I give you my word, you're not going to become a better trader, but things like option flow scanner is going to make you a better trader because again, you're not guessing why the volume is coming in. You're seeing it in front of you and it's so important again to have as many edges as possible in your tool chest that you can apply to the market on a day-to-day basis. So, hopefully that works. Again, flow algal is pretty cool. That's the one I use. Cheddar is, from what I hear, is pretty decent. Trade alerts is good as well. It's a little more pricier than the other two, but they're all comparable. Again, as long as you're seeing where the hot money bets are being played on a daily basis right in front of you, it's much more easier with confidence to go in the same trade when it confirms technically. Let's quickly get into the market. Again, Dow 30,000. Okay, who cares? I think the most important point is kind of what the market is doing. We've been watching this video for the last three, four days. We saw it. We've been talking about the importance of this 294 confirmation on the Qs. We're breaking out now close to, again, close to stone throw away from 52 E highs. We finally started seeing some beta life and I think that's the most important point kind of going into this week. We talked about the importance of the 30144 level that broke out. Again, talk about the theme of option flow. Again, we're still seeing those 3,200 in the money with size going into this week. We started seeing 3,300 expiring next week. Again, this is 3,185. Again, if you start seeing Monday morning, they're coming for the 3,300 weeklies. Guys, you have 100 points in the trade. If it confirms this previous channel here, probably more chances or not, it's going to catch up to the money flow. Netflix, we saw finally a little bit of life coming in on Netflix. Again, common denominator. Guys were coming in on Friday for this week's and December's 5, 10, 5, 30 calls. Again, the stock is 491. I really caught a nice little pivot as my last trade of the day, of the week. On Friday, we'll talk about the, again, pivots in a second. But again, once you start seeing come Monday morning, Tuesday morning, they're coming for the 5, 10s, 5, 20s, all you have to do now is look at the daily channel. Once it confirms that daily channel, you already know these guys are betting 4, 5, 600,000, a million dollars that the stock will be at 5, 10, 5, 32 weeks from now. Again, all you need to do is wait for that confirmation to come as well. So it's incredibly, incredibly important to follow the option flow in these names. But again, beta, little by little, they're starting to wake up. Again, they're not exactly trailing the QQQs, which is very, very odd. Because if you look at the Nasdaq, it was up 3%. A lot of these names are still stock, but you can see Facebook, right? Facebook is kind of mirroring the QQQ channel. But the funny thing is it's still lagging. So Facebook, not out of the woods, but if it starts taking out this channel right here, and again, still, you know, several dollars away, but if it starts taking out the channel, look how much room you have. So if you start seeing option flow coming in for the 300 weeklies, right, look how much room you have. Obviously, if it confirms, you have a punch as chance for the stock to get there. So it's very, very important to understand that really solid week this week. Again, the SPAC names going nuts. The EV names, again, FSR was awesome on Thursday, was good on Friday. We'll talk about that in a second. So there's still a lot of speculation money, but just guys really understand this. I said this at some point in the middle of 2,000, the middle of the internet craze. I turned around, I said, this is great. This is the greatest thing ever. It's never going to end. Yada, yada, yada, it ended four months later. Okay, it's going to end. I'm preparing you for it. You know, if you don't believe me, go back through history. Every great bull market ends. And eventually, and again, we don't know, is it going to be next week, the following week, next month, three months, maybe a year from now. We don't know, but at least mentally prepare yourself. So what can you do instead of chasing the stocks that are already gone, right, like a CGC, and again, I kind of like the pot stocks this week, but instead of a chasing the stock like this that it was already gone from $19 to $30, maybe look at a till rate, right? Again, stock is still coming out of the range, right? You don't want to buy anything that already made its move. So for example, look at Neo, right? Look at Neo. Neo is gone from like what? From like $4 just from June into the 50s. Okay, you don't want to trade a stock like that. You want to trade a stock that came out of the range. And this is why FSR was such a powerful move. Because people were looking for the next one to come out of the range. And when it did, it finally did what it had to do. So the stocks that have gone, there's no edge to them. For example, there is no edge for me on Tesla anymore. There really isn't. The only way you want to play Tesla, and again, everybody knows right now, the hedge funds are front running the index funds ahead of their inclusion. We don't want to buy this thing on strength. You want to buy this thing on weakness. That's where your edge is in the stock. I mean, the stock broke out at several levels over the last two weeks, okay? It broke out above the 460 level. It broke out above the 502 level. Those are your breakout levels. This is all continuation. And the one thing that continuation means, the higher the price is away from its daily channel, the higher probability it's going to fail. So again, the last thing you want to do is to play musical chairs. Again, you don't want to do that. You don't want to just put on the blinders and hope the God continues. Hope is not a strategy. Hope is not a process. Hope is hope. Hope is hope. Hope is hope. Hope is prayer. We're not in the hoping and praying business. We're collecting data and reacting. The only value that's left, and again, it's stock ran at the 600. That's great. No 700 coal buyers. That's great. But again, the last thing you want to do is put on your trade at $600 a share hoping gets the 700. What you want to do is get a pullback into the rising support, whether it's the five day, the 60 minute view. And if the stock holds that level and remounts, at least you have a level that you can trade against. And it's giving you a defined risk versus while the stock is up 200 points in the last five days, I hope it's going higher. I think it's going higher. Again, don't think. We're not smart enough to think.  Okay. I don't think. We react. We react and collect data and make sure our money is safe. So it'd be very, very important. So again, there's no value in Tesla. There's no value in a Neo, right? And it's very, very, you can make an argument. There's really no advantage in that group anymore. It's just pure momentum. But again, it's always important to say I'd rather sell a day early than a sell late. But again, my whole trading philosophically is sell when you want to, not when you have to. And again, this market will end. Mark my words. Again, you don't believe it now and hopefully doesn't end anytime soon. I'm with you. Trust me. I'm with you. I'm feeling this market. I love the action. I'm even trading more and more non beta every single day. But I'm also conscious to know that my professional history is going to be repeated has been repeated numerous times since the 99 started my career. And the point is to prepare yourself ahead of time instead of missing out on that musical chair final results. So be very, very careful. So going into this week again, how can you not be bullish? Okay, market is really giving you no reason not to be bullish. But again, the key is this week, find the groups that are starting to come out of their ranges. And again, they're very hard to find value. And the market has been going up in a moonshot for the, you know, for the last year, two years, almost three years, right? Four years, you can even make an argument, you know, it's very, very hard to get value. So you have to find the value and you have to wait for the value. So instead of chasing Tesla at 600, you know, wait for Facebook to come out. And again, I'm not saying Facebook is going to be coming out for Monday, right? It still has to confirm the channel. But isn't this a better play, right? Isn't this a more high definition play than a chart that looks like this, right? Isn't Apple a better look, right, confirming the 10 day moving average? Think about it. Isn't Apple a better look than, you know, isn't Apple a better look here than it was up here? So it's very, very important to kind of wait and just understand, even though the lights are very, very bright, you don't have to trade every single day. You don't have to be the person jumping into the pool and trying to figure out if there's actually water. Just pace yourself. Okay, there's no rule. It's not about how many trades you put on. It's how many trades you put on properly. Again, I'm bullish going through this week. There's definitely names I like going through this week, but it's not names that you would normally turn around and say, wow, this is a day trader's dream. Like again, look at Honeywell, right? Not Sexy, right? Think about it. Not a Sexy channel. Had this really, really big run. Then it went sideways for three weeks. But look at this channel here, right? You don't need to be in this Sexy trade. Look at this channel. It's gotten rejected here twice at the same level. And all you have to do is look at the chart, okay? It's got rejected twice at the same level. If it confirms, you have $10 worth of upside with a dollar risk. Again, that is value. Again, instead of chasing the CGC, look at Tilray, right? If you want to be in the same group and you want to be in momentum, names again, kind of going back into our previous discussion, we saw $9 calls coming in. We saw $10 calls coming in. If you know, again, there's buyers coming in from the $9, $10 area, if it can just reclaim this whole linear regression line, maybe it does go back to $9, $10 a share. But again, look for value. Don't look for names that really, really explode. Even a name like SDGR had this monster, monster move, but at least you can see some sort of consolidation. First close above supply. There's some volume coming in on the name. If it starts confirming this channel, look how much room you have. So you have plays that you can risk a dollar for a potential $10 run. That's where the value is. And again, these plays are not going to just jump at you. You have to wait for them. You have to research them. You have to be putting yourself in a position when they do confirm. And especially if you get a kicker in the options market, you know you have a validated green light. So let's talk about Friday's session. The funny thing was, I wasn't even planning to trade on Friday. I was so hung over from Thanksgiving, if that's possible. I was in such food coma that I was disgusting. Like I wanted to crawl out of my skin. So I turned around and I said, I don't even know if I want to trade. And then once the lights turned on, the juice is flowing. You know, you're in the hot market. Yada, yada, yada. You know, I traded three things. So FSR, again, we caught that monster breakout from Thursday. We talked about it on Thursday's video. FSR, red to green for experienced traders. This is not a pivot, just momentum. $22 needs to build from Wednesday's explosion. So here was FSR. I mean, this is a monster move, right? So here was FSR. It opened up down and held the rising support. And again, this is what we talk about. You see this rising support, everybody? It held rising support, went red to green, took out $22 and traded right to the 2360s, which is the upper Bollinger band. Again, this is what we talk about supply and demand, knowing where supply is going to end. So just an absolute monster trader for the last two days. Congratulations to all you guys who've been riding it again. Just keep in mind, you have those somebody, they were coming in some repeat $25 calls. So you'd like to see the stock kind of go sideways for the next couple of days. But if they start coming in again with those $25 calls, definitely on watch Kodak, I kind of like never got to the $850 area. And again, just to give you an idea how specific these pivots are, NVIDIA 537 Sneaky Area needs to build 540, obviously macro. NVIDIA traded the 536 30s. So again, these numbers are very, very specific. That's why we don't try to anticipate the move. We've wait for them. So I still like NVIDIA, but again, $7 off its highs. This was my last trade of the week. Netflix 488 50, 489 needs to build, put in its opening candle to about 490. And then the option flow market kicked in. Guys were coming in for the 490, excuse me, for the 530 calls, we saw a couple. And once it, you know, once it remounted at 490, you know, I got longer than 490 area, and then all of a sudden the stock exploded to the 493 area. And the reason why 493, this wasn't a macro channel. If you look at the, if you look at the daily chart, I kind of knew it was going to stop at the 493 level because again, you see this supply here, right? Daily supply. So for this thing to really wake up, it's going to need to clear out this whole channel here and macro wise, if it reclaims 500, then you have a whole different multiple on your hands. But again, not every single trade needs to be this massive, massive move. Boeing I still like never got into the, into that area here. Amazon again continues to be really good here. I, you know, I like this and never got to the 3222 area, but this is the area I still like for this week. I still think, you know, it sees 3,300, if it confirms again, the name of the game is if it confirms, do not anticipate. That's when you get destroyed in your account. Square, 215 rejected several times needs to build. Again, that's the magic number. It got nowhere near that on Friday. Zoom, Zoom reports on, Zoom reports tomorrow. Okay. It'll be very, very interesting to see. Again, they are the prime beneficiary from the whole stay at home movement. You know, again, we've been kind of trading Zoom for the whole week. You know, I caught a nice little pivot on Zoom as well on Friday, 456 needs to build. And here's Zoom, right? We talked about this on Thursday's video as well, going to the 470s. So finally took out this whole channel and traded right into the 50 day moving average of 474. Again, they report after the close, but again, just keep an eye on the options marked to see where the bets are being read. And again, FSR just an absolute monster move. First supply 463 obviously hit, went to the 470s. Yeah, here's what we're talking about. This December 530 call buyers steps in really, really nice move on Netflix to end the week. And that's it, right? And that's it. So the moral of the story is guys, just remember two things. The market is hot until it's not. Don't trade because you're trading out of emotion. It's very, very important. You hear that all the time. But in this type of environment, it's much more exaggerate.  So take a step back. Just listen to what I've been saying. I've been doing this for almost 21 years now. The market will end.  Again, don't trade the overextended setups. Trade the ones in the same group that are coming out of ranges. At least you have a defined look. At least you have the ability to get more meat on the bone if it goes. Because if not, if you're buying a stock at 14, it just was $7, 24 hours ago, the probability of you getting a pullback is a lot higher. So guys, I wish everybody the best. Have an awesome December. And with God's help, I'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye-bye.


We can learn a lot. I mean, we're learning our plays, we're learning our installs, we're learning the different techniques that we're doing and learning how to be a great teammate. How have you picked the Marines and some of these vets out here?  Yeah, for sure. I mean, we have a lot of great veterans in the room, a lot of eight greater veterans outside the office in my room as well, you know. So Ashley has been good with working development. We've always had like a vet come in and talk to us and kind of explain to us some of the things about the NFL, how to be a great teammate, how to be a great person, how to do things in the community, how to take care of yourself on and off the field. So learning from everybody. It's one of the best cultures that I've ever experienced in sports in general. I mean, from high school to college to here, I've been blessed to have just the right coaches and the right culture every step of the way. And I'm grateful that I have an opportunity to be a part of a great culture and a great team. There's some similarities here and there, but I mean, like we run off the ball here like crazy. It's making sure that we have low paddles. It was all the main things that you learn as an office alignment, but overall it's just making sure that we fine-tune things and making sure that we do techniques that work towards the scheme that we're running. The conversation about you coming in was maybe that your feet were great, but that your punch maybe was something they wanted to work on. How much can you work on that now with no contact and stuff? How much is it maybe mental talk about that and eagerness for camp? You can work every single day. I mean, we have like something called the difference where you're shooting your hands out and you're trying to make sure that you have a great punch, violent hands, violent eyes, whenever you're punching and things like that. So that's not something that you do just during when you have pads on, but it can be in the weight room. It could be out here on the field. We do a lot of different drills that work on our punches and work on our strikes. You make a progress on that already? For sure. I'm sure you have a ton to learn, feel like you have a ton to learn, but what's your kind of level of fitting in? Like you come in and feel like, hey, I belong here. You come in and feel like, wow, this is a lot. I just want to be the best teammate that I can and that says a lot and in a small sentence. You know what I mean? Like when saying you're a great teammate, what that means to me is making sure you know what you know so the older guys know what you know, or that the younger guys also know that you know what you're doing on the field so they can trust you and believe in you and then also being a great teammate off the field, making sure that I'm doing the things right for the team. I'm not going to put the team in jeopardy. And then also I'm going to do things that make myself more part of the culture and a part of the team and be a part of Nashville in general. Are you connecting with guys off the field to kind of get familiarized with Nashville and some of the bets? Yeah, I actually got a chance to take some of the undrafted guys in the online room to a nice dinner. So we went to a nice little steak dinner. I wanted to pay a fifth and Taylor. So it was a good, it was a great steak dinner. We all had fun there and you know, we all enjoyed it, but those are kind of the things that we want to make sure we do that we interact with each other off the fields. We can be great teammates and have a great family. How'd that feel to get taken care of? I paid it. You know, I mean, I was, you know, so like I was the one that had more money at the moment, but you know, I just wanted to take care of them. They've been so great to me. I've had great friends here and I hope that they're friends that I make for a long time, not just during this rookie of many camp OTAs and, you know, camp and things like that. All the undrafted things with the tab? Um, around like 800, 900. So I think that was like one of the first like big, big purchases that I made for like other people besides like me and my mom, you know, because I always just make sure I take care of my mom. Those guys love you there. Um, I got her like a pendant. So basically it's a pendant. So it has a sapphire and then I think zircon. I don't know what all it is is that it matches the colors of one, the Tennessee Titans, the two-tone blue. And then also it's my mom's birth month and my birth month. So it just kind of works out how like I came here, matches the birth month colors of both me and my mom. And then also it's two-tone blue. Just was, it was a blessing to have the opportunity to get her a gift like that. Was it just the offensive undrafted guys you took out or on, on both sides of the ball? You kind of took everyone? Um, off is the line and then I took also one. I'm defense aligned too. I took them high school. So yeah.


Russia and China unite against US. The West's expansion of its military presence in Asia risks causing a prolonged conflict because people in the region will not accept such a dictate. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said, by pushing bloc structures such as Orcus and NATO infrastructure into Asia, Western leaders are making a serious bid for a confrontation lasting for long, long years. He told a gathering in Moscow, I cannot imagine the great Asian civilizations towing the line the way the EU unfortunately did and obediently delivering Washington's agenda. Lavrov explained, Orcus, a military alliance comprising the UK, US and Australia, was touted as a mechanism to counter Chinese influence in the Asia-Pacific region when it was founded in 2021. Beijing this week reiterated its criticism of Orcus and Canberra's plan to procure US-made nuclear-propelled submarines citing the risk of nuclear proliferation posed by the technology used in the boats. Earlier this month, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi accused the US of trying to build an Indo-Pacific NATO and stir tensions between Beijing and New Delhi. US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin previously denied having such plans. Last year, the US-led military bloc invited the leaders of Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand to attend its key summit in Madrid, Spain. Tensions between the US and China have been rising for years, with Taiwan a self-administered island becoming the focus of conflict. Senior US officials have been making regular visits to Taipei against Beijing's wishes. The administration of President Joe Biden approved sales of advanced weapons to Taiwan, claiming it needed to protect itself from a possible Chinese attack. Chinese President Xi Jinping asserted last week that Washington was trying to impose all-round containment and encirclement and suppression of his nation. Recently, US President Joe Biden met with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Australian Prime Minister Antony Albanese in San Diego, where the three leaders considered supplying US and British manufactured nuclear submarines to Canberra. At least eight nuke subs are expected to be built in Adelaide. The talks may seemingly pave the way for a new stage in the trilateral AUKUS partnership. The Anglo-Saxon Defence Alliance, dubbed as Asian NATO by some experts, is seen as an effort to counter China.


Good morning cyber traders. Happy Monday everybody. Good to see you all. Good to hope everyone welcome everyone back and welcome all these new traders that have joined us in the trading room. Welcome everybody. Looking forward to a nice little exciting weekend. It's the last, this is the last week right? This is the last week. Actually also great about this week. This is probably one of the first Fridays that very rarely we have. That ends the end of the month. So it's going to probably be a really exciting month because it's going to go all the way to the end. But listen, a lot of big news came out. Silicon Valley got bought out. Somebody obviously came up looking forward to seeing how certain things are going to work out with that stock. Getting a couple of bank stocks and making big move. FRC is moving pretty nicely. By the way, just bring up level four to show you what's going on. How nice is this? Look at this. Big iceberg orders out there. Huge one at 1650. Look, that thing just ran from at 8 o'clock this morning from 1510. Nice little move in pre-market for some of you here that are watching on social media. They're like, wow, how do you guys trade pre-market? This is what it's all about. It's always nice to see that love. They call weekend buyout. So obviously a lot of the bank stocks that got beat up from it. We're going to talk a little about them. But before we do that, let's get prepared. What's going on this week? For everyone here, remember we got phase three that is starting this week. So if you're any of the students here at Cybertree University or maybe you're on social media, you're more than welcome to join us. It's very important that you're here to trade because like anything else, you've got to learn before you could earn. So looking forward to that. In the meantime, let's talk about what happened yesterday last week. Those are some good stocks that made some nice, nice move. First of all, AI moved really nice. Let me bring up a two-day chart on AI. Now AI, just to kind of give everybody a heads up, it makes this really big move early in the morning. And then for some reason, it decides to reverse, which maybe I got to show it to you on the camera. You know the mouse pad, best times to work, trade, worst times to trade. So anyway, so that was basically what we had going on for that day. But AI has got some really big support levels at the 20. It's hard to day trade, but it has been a very, very fun swing trade. So that was a really nice move for everybody here trading that stock. And not only is there the same word as SAI, but there was SI. So SI is going back on the watch list. That was really, really nice stock. Once again, another bank stock, a CGA capital.  And then a middle of the day kind of backed off. I mean, look at that.  That thing ran from a dollar to $2. That's literally almost 100% on one day. And even if you chased and showed up late 11 o'clock, you still couldn't have made yourself a nice little 40, 50 cents. So once again, don't discriminate against inexpensive stocks. It's all about making money. Anyway, it's the second biggest percentage gainer on this today. You can see on a New York Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange Stock. And basically it's right there. So we're going to trade that stock, put that on the watch list. So that was moving pretty good. Square got crushed. But it started making a little bit of a comeback. It started to make a little bit of a comeback right now. But you can see the stock here in the long-term chart. This stock took a very, very big hit right here. It went from like 76 all the way down to 55. Made a nice comeback. Now remember, this is not a pharmaceutical stock.  So it's not your typical pharmaceutical stock when they don't come back. So that one moved up pretty nicely. And then you see how the square moved pretty nice. Now regarding about what's moving on and what's going on for today, anyway, there's the stock. You can see First Citizen Bank shares is flying. So this stock is really, it's almost at 1,000. It's still going.  We're not trading the stock. We're not going to go out there. Listen, you want to go trade it by one share. But you can see this thing is just literally just flying. But what it does is that it's an industry. It's going to affect other stocks. So you want to keep an eye on the other ones out there. Anyway, this stock just opened up out of somewhere. I don't know what just didn't just took off just now. Oh, it just came out. You could see that BDRX. This is the thing. You got program training. It kicks in at 9am. Looks like an IPO actually. But let me go bring up level. We're not going to probably see level four quotes. BDRX. Let's go check it out. I only got one bar here. Yeah, you could see it right here. Just open little 4,000 share buyer out here. Really, really big move. The stock's going to be pretty volatile today. We'll put it on the watch list. I would be really careful of it though. Now a couple of the stocks that we look down that list. Now the third biggest percentage gainer. The stock looks like a buyout over the weekend. This stock is not really going anywhere. It trades 70,000 shares. Very spotty. You know, we see a chart like that. We kind of want to stay away from it. BXRX stock got destroyed. Okay. This looks like more like a reverse stocks, but more than anything. But she's up 17%, 1.2 million shares. It's a cheap stock. It's not really something that I think it's something that everyone could afford to trade. If you're one of the deer in the headlights and you still like a little nervous jumping into stocks, that looks like it could probably be up your alley. Everything else. I didn't see anything else that I liked. Now this is a typical Monday. This stock is also not bad too. It's a really good move on Monday, on Friday. And she's obviously trading higher. That's usually a good sign. That's usually a good sign, especially, you know, a stock was a $25 stock. It's got to get past this resistance levels right around here, $325. It's almost there. It looks like it hit it and it came right back down. So ONCS, we'll put that on our watch list. Not a bad looking stock. All right, losers. Oh, that's right. PCAW, another bank stock that's on the watch list. A lot of those stocks that got really beat up because of what happened with Silicon Valley, they're all moving up pretty nicely. So PCAW is moving pretty well. And most of them actually were on the New York Stock Exchange. You can see Key Bank is moving pretty well too. So Key's on the watch list. You can see it had a really good move on Friday. That was another stock that we traded. Gapped up pretty nicely due to the buyout over the weekend. So there are a lot of stocks that are moving here. Here's a bank sector. It's also making a little bit of a comeback too. Wall is making a little bit of a comeback too. Wall's a little bit more. We've been trading stock for a while. Wall got to be a little careful of it. It's pretty volatile when it comes to it. So Wall's moving up pretty decently. It's so funny that for everyone here, your traders in here know this. I hear these stories from all these analysts and they all think like, oh, be careful. There's going to be like, good morning to you, Cheryl, on Facebook. Anyway, you always get to hear these people always talking about like, this company's going out of business. It's the end of the world and so on. But you know what? Being a trader, a day trader specifically, and you hear all these people that are very excited. Like somebody told me Bitcoin. I was listening to an analyst on TV with this whole thing that's going off the banks. Oh, now Bitcoin is going to probably go into six figures in the next two, three years. That's great. You know what I mean? But I hear this all day long. And sometimes you know that you're trying to push their own agenda. But there's nothing better when you actually watch what happens over the course of the day. And I hear people like, oh, this is the end of the world and the other bank's going to crash. You know what? Guess what? We're going to be the first ones to see it. We'll be the first ones to see it if it does get affected. But you could see they're all making a little bit of comebacks. But we settle over and over and over again. Don't trust anyone, all right? Other than your control, your own money, that's why we do what we do. Take the money and run.  But we saw how that stock traded. We saw how key traded, okay? We saw how volatile they get. We saw SI, okay? I mean, I owned the SI. I thought it was a good buy at 250. My God, look, it dropped down. It was all the way down to a dollar.  So that's what you got to be really careful of. So just always be careful what you hear. And remember, we capitalize it. We capitalize on it. Now, just one last thing I just want to point out before we get back into our trading room. You know, listen, I thought some prayers to everyone out in Mississippi.   And if anyone knows there, just like I said, we all pray for them. Now, with that said, just keep in mind there was a lot of catastrophe was done there. Keep an eye on some of the other like Home Depot's and Lowe's because people are going to need to do, they're going to need to rebuild. You might get some good buys on some of these stocks that might come back and start pushing up regarding about what happened, you know, hurricanes, whatever.  So keep an eye on some of these, you know, home improvement stores because obviously people need to fix stuff. All right. So I just want to keep an eye on that.  You got to know what happens over the course of the day. And unfortunately, some of these catastrophes make opportunities for us. Remember, the bank that went down, that was a huge catastrophe. We make an opportunity. And I will always use the metaphor of, listen, a lot of us want to own houses, right? We bought houses. When you hear about a foreclosure, you're like, oh, it's in foreclosure. Yeah. Little do you know what, did you realize who you're buying it from? What happened to that person?  So remember, whatever happens in the world, what happens in trading, whatever it is, this is why we do what we do. Because if you can't handle it, then you shouldn't be trading. That's what we say. Listen, you got class today. If everybody wants to get in it, you know where to find it. Anyone on social media in the top left-hand corner. Actually, I'm going to bring up a bigger one right here. Join for free. Oops. Yeah, right there. Just a big banner right there. Just click on it and with your phone and be happy to come and join us. And we'll see you in the trading room if you want to see what we're going to be doing all day long. All right. So let's get, listen, let's close out the month. When we get to around Thursday and Friday, things might slow down a little bit. You know, we don't want to ruin a month, a good month. We like to, you know, start fresh. Does not traders think. So don't get too cocky. But like I said, the end of the month ends on Friday for the first time in a long time. So better than ending on a Tuesday or a Monday, you know. So let's go. Let's, let's try that. It's got to end the month out strong. All right, guys. Good luck today. Happy trading. And we'll start commenting a couple of months up at 9.30. And then like I said, we'll be back here at 2.30 in the afternoon to trade the afternoon hours. And like I said, if you want to join us, just click on that little banner right there. We'll see you in the room. Good luck everyone. Happy trading. Be safe.


Tell me how you'd be affected by the treatments potentially by having a catalog of the actual like value points. What can be interpreted in that setting to say, well, I might actually have these side effects rather than just a generalized paper that tells you the side effects. We know that there's susceptibility biomarkers, right? We know that we're trying to learn continuously from the patients in Excelsior, right? The patients who sign up with X-Cures, if there's another patient like you out there who has a side effect from a medication, we want to surface that for other doctors who are treating similar patients like you, right? So it's about learning from others.


Nikola Jokic-Chandler is a top player of all time. He's a top 20 player of all time. And it's only going to keep going once he gets his third MVP this season ahead of SGA, Luke. He's not on top 75 team so far. You're not putting Jokic in the top 75 of all time. I'll put him top 50 of all time. Top 50. Right now, Jokic. I'm just saying top 50. That's just, that's not an educated guess. Top 50, honest, there's 10 guys in the NBA right now that are top 50. Where were you ranked Jokic in centers alone? I'll tell you. I love Shaq. I think he's the most dominant. Kareem's career. Hakim Alajuan. That's a good one. And then, by the way, I'm probably going him. So you're putting him top five center of all time. Top five centers of all time. I think it's still a lot of work to do, but I think he finishes top 24.


Sexual assault is toxic to the trust and confidence that binds us all together as an AV team. It's great that we have this month to kind of renew our focus. We're all in this team together and we all have to play an active part.

How you doing jelly? I'm fantastic man goose happy to be here man and with us We've got blood hunter joining us this week blood go ahead and give us a brief overview of like how you got involved with paragon And these projects as a whole All right. Well, hello man goose and jelly but uh, I started in paragon on ps4 I saw their trailer One time on e3 when I used to watch the when they used to have an e3 expo And I was like this game looks interesting.  It just did something to me It made me like I have to play this game and then I immediately I think they announced it that day that they were going to do uh Paid access after they showed that and I was just I'm all I'm getting it But I had no clue how to play a moba. No clue how to do anything so it's been a rough kind of uh All through paragon it was always like go stand over there in that lane No one would really give me any examples So like go over there. I was like, well, I like this little anime girl shimby when she came out I was like, I'm gonna play her in the off lane fine. I don't care what y'all say She was good Yeah, but after a while I actually got a Paragon died when they first announced paragon died because I used to watch another notch as soon as it died I was just like, okay. I'm not gonna play it. I guess I'm gonna find something else to do I tried smite. I didn't like it. I didn't I didn't I really don't like top down games So I never tried league or anything but I did when uh I did hear about a paragon demo that came out. I tried to get into which I guess it was one person I forgot uh, who's that? That was rocket mania. I think he was met. Yeah And then he turned that into like something else. I didn't do and then it was overthrow And then when over prime when they released over prime demo for people to download That's when I was like, I'm downloading this. I don't care if it messes with my pc I'm gonna download it, but I had fun on that. I started getting pretty good at rampage on there I finally that gave me the confidence to get the how to play a moba And then recently I've been playing fault for like a year Just to get really good at movers again, but I'm still not that good even after all these years You are good with rampage. I'll give you that man. I'll play it I've played with you and over prime and you uh, your confidence level goes from like here to like right here Whenever you're playing playing the whole page I even tried him as a support a few times in over prime He's a good support man. You just picked that rock up and mean mug people and they just back off Yeah, that video I sent you that one time of uh Me and mid lane with rampage and that just that poor bellica just I think it was bellica I just kept hitting her with rock and then was back when uh The rocks would fly through the towers and I ended up nailing her at the end with it Let's get into the news and updates. I'm going to start this week with over prime because they've got a lot of stuff going on They released a training mode video. This is not a an ai versus ai sort of thing This is a straight up training mode where you can go in fight off minions They had like a target dummy that you could ping into and then they had various jungle camps some of which we haven't seen before and um Really cool stuff to see that they're redesigned even redesigning even the jungle camps Uh blood. What did you think of the training video? I I want it now For a person for a person like me that still Has issues because I got other mental issues people will know about if they watch my stream I don't want to get into it here, but uh, I want a training view. I've always I have been playing fault because I couldn't play over prime anymore. So I was like I need to play a third person moba but I've been playing And it's just fault. I was like I need some kind of training I need somewhere because on over prime you could just start a a match with just minions Learn the heroes learn this you don't have anybody to play against but at least you can learn the hero Not have to worry about people, you know being toxic saying why you're bad or stuff like that But the training mode of over prime I first saw that I loved it. I was like I want this Give it to me now What do you think jelly I think it's incredible I think something I've always liked that smite has Even if I don't play the game very much is their training practice mode that you can go in It's a separate map where you can kind of have access to everything and really Test out and flesh out the builds or learn about the character or whatever you want to do And over prime I think took that kind of to the next level and kind of expanded on that idea And I think it's fantastic and it's going to help a lot of players Pick up the game a little easier without feeling so Overwhelmed by all the different concepts Yeah, it's a it's a godsend for content creators, too If you can display how your build will work in game And not have to like deal with all the other crap just to show the straight up This is how much you will crit at this time And Yeah, it's it's it's an amazing thing that they've done I barely got never had it. I wish I wish they would have The other thing with the training video though is The the one sort of insect camp we've seen before we've seen images of that before But then they had some kind of like two-legged Iguana tailed monster thing that comes running up That twin blast just wastes and then at the very end of the video Yeah, you got that big dragon thing in the background that you barely get a glimpse of I thought it looked like Or something Is that what they're saying is a pterodactyl? I thought it looked like the monster in that movie the ritual Yes, actually it's a great reference for that I'm gonna go side by side and put it up there I think it's one of those things of paragon jungle camps were always really generic Yeah, they were the white modeled minion with maybe some moss and a different weapon and that was it and that was Super basic and most games have Extremely extreme variations of the jungle camps where they're completely different models completely different That way you can distinctly say what camp you're at and all these things And so it makes sense that they're redoing a lot of these But and they look incredible too. So I mean shout out to their team that's putting those together because they're amazing Oh, yeah Yeah, that's a very good point. I never even thought about that. But yeah paragon was just the minions It was just more minions for the jungle camps where everybody else has like manticores and And it's hard to steer. I don't know From from like a competitive standpoint. It's hard to be in the jungle and be like, oh, I'm at the minion camp There's no great. Which one uh the the minion camp. I don't know which one I'm at right Whereas you can give each camp a different name and now you can communicate to your team Exactly where on you are on the map without them having to reference the mini map or anything like that. You can say I'm at The lizard camp and then they immediately go. Oh, okay. I know exactly where that is and can go from there I wonder why you said lizard camp What I don't know man crazy It's like some other game that we cover might have lizard camps. I mean maybe maybe maybe just a little I only speak in ethereal references They also released another uh skin concept this time it was for severog not a Huge major change to his skin, but a cool one nonetheless as always they're just their concept team Just knocks it out of the park every time and then they actually realize those concepts like we've seen concepts from other games where it just never comes into fruition they They seem to be pretty quick about coming up with these concepts and then actually modeling the 3d models for them We talked about it before that if They're really trying to expand their team to like a hundred people Once you get past the core game Gameplay working as you want it to A lot of those people can be the artists and then the modelers for these skins That you can just turn these things out non-stop essentially because you have 50 60 people working on them at all times Most skins mo money. Mm-hmm. Absolutely. What do you think about that severog skin blood? uh If it's not red or black usually i i don't really care Did it have any black? I can't remember. I don't have it the picture. I think it was like gold White and stuff. Okay. It's not not your style little too angelic for you with your demonic eyes over there I'm kind of into you know, just like the name, you know, I have a theme Like the yellow-eyed demon from supernatural over there Well, it's just a reference for you, isn't it? It is it is. I like it Is that better for you? No, put it back on. I loved it There we go. I mean Severog players though are diehards Like they're they're the kind of people that if they a new skin comes out They'd be like it's a severog skin gotta buy it like that's all it is It was one of the few groups in paragon that no matter what the skin was they were gonna purchase it Like it was just one of those things Yeah, he didn't get much skin love in paragon though. That's for sure So much potential for skins too. Yeah Yeah, I got I got one thing about severog Severog and Richter It doesn't matter how many times I've tried them or even muriel those three. I just I can't get the concept of how to play them. I constantly die a lot.  You got to realize when you do a short you you record something 1920 by 1080 you've got to zoom it in When you go 1080 by 1920, right? So it's it's like a very zoomed in view. Those numbers don't look that big when you're actually playing the game But in response to that, I think they posted like this tiny little box Of rampage where you can even like full screening you could barely see what's going on with it It's cool that they released it. I like seeing some rampage gameplay I'm very excited to see rampage coming back into uh the paragon world, but man, they need to they need to tighten it up Yeah, absolutely. That's each one of their shorts that they put out are in like such variations of quality and for like Performance it's like I don't know who I do you have five different people making shorts at all times What is happening here that we're getting this weird? They're just tossing richter hooks out there to see what they catch Till they find something Yeah, the thing about those uh shorts I had never cared about tiktok. I've never cared about shorts and then over primes like released that mo cap thing of on tiktok. I was like I never even heard that song before now. I just love that song But I was just I keep watching that. I was like I like this video Then I started making it was like, hmm My god, I got kids into this. I'm gonna let me try and I'm like, damn this is actually easy to make a video You know, then I made like I've made what four Overprime videos on their tagging them and then I just upload them to youtube shorts It's quick and easy to do you just got to find the right format for it Like I wish that that like especially that rampage video. I wish they would have not done a youtube short They would have just posted a one minute video so that people could see what was going on with it I wish they'd make like those gifts they have in their servers The server with the gallery the little gifts they have it's supposed to be like they're all small Supposed to be for like your background or profile or something I wanted them to make one that had rampage in it I took all those things because I thought that was what you were supposed to use when that that first event And I just made them to a video and added music over it But I was like I wanted a rampage one All right, uh, that's about all I have for overprime.  No, it's we're in december officially. So maybe we'll get something from them this month like it's Soon Yeah, there's a win And uh, so that's going to bring us to ethereal now ethereal had their community corner Which jelly knows all about because he hosted the community corner with a skipper Now in the community corner as we all know their their last stress test only went for a couple hours before it broke And had to be shut down, but they announced that they're having another stress test on the 18th What I really liked about the community corner. However was they uh skifter and you jelly you and skifter really broke it down exactly what happened With the stress test to break it what you guys did to try and fix it and why that fix didn't work It just gives me a A warning fuzzy that you guys were able to identify and correct the problem That just happened even if I didn't understand the explanation Just the fact that you could say that to the community and explain what was going on and how you're going to fix it Gives me a lot more confidence in this next stress test Yeah, I mean and us too, right like if it'd be much worse if we went into it and found out like Oh, we have no idea what went wrong, right? Like that's a way bigger issue But being able to identify that and share it with you guys as well I think just helps everybody like recover a little bit from that first stress test That way we can head into the second one with a little bit more confidence and and worry free Blood did you watch the um the stream the community corner? Oh, I didn't watch it live. I was I think I was working or something, but I've seen I keep watching them all But I do forget to watch the things on jelly's channel You know, I'm sorry I try to watch when that one time where y'all were only showing them on mongoose channel like the Enter the ether. Yeah And then all of a sudden Wait, oh, yeah, I forgot they started doing it again where they go to his channel too Another thing they talked about during the stress test was the hero release order after grognark So it's going to be x shield and assassin Did I say that right jelly? No, but it's okay. X shield X. No x seal. Yeah exile No, it's fine. It's fine. Is it well that that is definitely how you pronounce it? So it's going to be a picture. Yes. Yeah.  Yeah Because he yeah looks like Jesus with a seafoam armor. Um So it's not particularly in that order. It's just whichever one's going to be completed But uh, it'll definitely grognark next on the roster, but then it'll be one of those four so you can go root for those if and you want to Who is malware again? Is he is he adc? Yes malware is a marksman. Yep Now I saw the What you need to do is make a skin for me That has like red lightning over him instead of the purple Then I'll play him all the time I'm sure he'll have a color variation of sorts Oh, dude the malware is skin. We already got I don't think I've seen a malware skin You haven't no But his skins are incredible. We've got a couple planned already in the pipeline and they're amazing. So right on Yeah, I guess I should explain that so xl is an assassin Um zero is a sky slayer.    That's right. Yep um No, but each of them they're The first seven of course were safely designed in that we wanted people to be able to play them pick them up easily Go from there Basically starting with this next set of myths as we've already kind of seen with grog nark They're gonna start getting wilder and wilder and ideas and like really bring new aspects to the game overall And new aspects to the 3d moba genre as a whole Yeah, grog nark having sort of travel mode, but It's not exactly travel mode because he's Slower whenever he's moving regularly and then he rolls into a ball and rolls around the map whenever he needs to go quicker Is that the one that I saw a while back at rolls? Yeah, he'll be able to roll. Yeah, also the one I just saw on the recent one when they have a gun and a Sword I guess I was like that's like okay, yeah And uh, I think that's going to close it out for a theory unless you guys had anything else you wanted to add I think that's everything I have one less on the 18th That I'm looking for the next stress test, but I'm just so glad that I got into the I was there at the first hour I was like Now I would have probably been in the first match if I had known that you're supposed to pick your role Yeah, yeah but I I think I pissed off you because of all I wanted to do was get in there and try out to flying here I've tried leah I was just flying around. I was like, I don't know where the hell I was supposed to go What role I was supposed to play I just wanted to fly I was like and we ended up winning that one anyways. I was like I mean, there should be no shame in that if you just want to go in check out the map and fly around for your first couple matches I mean, don't Don't worry about what everybody if everybody else is trying to sweat hard and win.  Uh, if you guys are interested in learning more about ethereal jelly And I do host entered the ether which either goes on my channel or his channel on tuesdays So you can check that out and it is also a podcast. I'll have those the links for the podcast download That's kind of what we would prefer that you do is let's do the podcast But you know, whatever how you want to however you want to consume the content. Yeah Let's move on now to fault Fault they had a vote for they had six items and they had a vote for which one The community wanted to explain to them sort of revealed to them and The thorn shield one, but they also released the sort of souls the the thorn shield being a um It just thorns. It's basically it's in pretty much every mobile It's just damage reflect whenever you take physical damage or is it uh, whenever you receive a basic attack You're you you reflect 12 of your physical armor as energy damage. So a lot of weird sorts of damages and armors and values going on there But it's basically it works as a damage reflect just like every other moba fault Definitely needed this. I've been missing this from my life The crazy thing about this item though is it also has the secondary effect of reducing any crits you take by 20% All right. Yeah, and honestly with both of those effects I do not see a reason that if you're a tank you're not taking this item every single game Because you've got the damage reflect and marksman's are such a huge Thing in fault right if one gets steam rolling It's really hard to stop them and almost all of them build crit consistently So between the two effects you're mitigating damage and reflecting 12% It's huge that item is going to be absolutely game changing for tanks Yeah, uh, what do you think blood? I was sitting here trying to find the item so I could look at them again But uh, I know I saw one that was uh That I was like I want to use this on jungler Yeah, probably the thorn shield. Yeah Because I was like this sounds interesting, but Every time I see the skills it's like I don't get the concept I still don't get the concept of them fault. It's like I I think I'm doing it right or building right and it's like why do I feel so like I'm like Die super easy It's like I've never like I I used to be go to gravestone.   He really is like Like He gets dominated by pretty much anybody else in the off lane if they know how to play anywhere Half decent. Mm-hmm. Yeah gravestone is your safe pick and even then he's not very safe Whereas this will really set him apart and give him some opportunity to survive in that lane It just makes him even more of an adc hunter And you already don't want to kill him off as it is now you're gonna be even more wary of shooting at him So yeah, I think it'll be a really good item for gravestone in particular He's he's I've seen him played in the jungle a lot and he's actually quite good in the jungle I did try that one gravestone in the jungle. Yeah I don't know. I think I'm just missing a small little detail of how to play these characters this way Because I know that like de trigger. I hate playing against de trigger because every time He'll have like three. He'll have three phantom blades before I even have one card. I'm like How and it's like only a bit of 15 minutes. I'm like, what are you doing?  Like you said de trigger. I should have no idea who de trigger is I'm like, oh that kalari player that always invades the enemy team's jungle The good thing I have three different names I only play on one name people are okay.  This seems strong Absolutely Usually with these stacking items you either see them stack over time Or if they're going to stack on kills and minions you see them fall off when you die in some capacity but just having an item that just is Almost inherently better than every other item once it's fully stacked Is dangerous because that means that anyone that wants damage They're just like, okay, I build this I wait until I crew my stacks and then I just hit a power level that nobody could match Yeah, it's I could see the people building this pretty early too. I can see people going like grave diggers crossbow Boots and then into this and then every item they pick up after that that has any kind of physical power is just an extra boost Yeah, no, it's it's kind of the uh What is the fault item that scales with You get extra of magic power or ability damage. I can't think of what the name is now. Oh, yeah, I can't even um, but it's basically that for attack damage instead of For physical power instead of the ability power, right? And so it's It's a dangerous item to put in with a marksman meta that's already demolishing games half the time Yeah, it's not it is not Oh, and then um, finally they had a not finally and this is the that's the last They had a demo of how to access the AI mode which kind of gave us a better Idea of what their AI mode was going to be and also gave us a pretty good look at their at their map It's not just a facelift on the map It does look like they actually redesigned some of the elements of the jungle, especially and um, yeah, it looked really good It looks really well thought out. Um, you're going to have to play AI matches until you're level five. You can't just jump in You see people do that all the time in fault.  I got this guy And then, you know, you try and guide them and teach them But sometimes they don't even respond but forcing them to actually play AI games And i'm sure there'll be some sort of tutorial associated with that. I'm hoping so um Yeah, I think that's just gonna be great for fault overall That was actually the first thing I was going to say man goose is hopefully now that we have AI matches a tutorial can come because Those go hand in hand. Yeah, so theoretically we should be receiving a tutorial at the same time more than just those videos They force you to watch when you first load in. Yeah Um, but we'll have to wait and see what patch 14 brings I forgot they had those videos to tell you the truth I didn't because I remember the when they first implemented them having to sit through and watch them And I was like, please just letting me skip. I've played 50 games already. Please god Blood what do you think? I don't know somebody. It's still kind of new can't figure things out I I'm gonna play uh AI mode until I feel confident. Mm-hmm. And then I'm going to go a pvp and just Start crying and then come back to AI mode It'll at least give you an idea of how much mana your abilities are going to cost and Like how much how much of the tower damage you can take so you know when to dive and when not to dive and that sort of thing I don't know if it's just fault or if it's other ones. It might have been other I always have this weird thing where I think people can see things sooner than I can see them. I thought it was my delay setting Always feel like I have to have superhuman reaction speed or something.  I keep thinking I get the same thing.  That's why Oh, and this is actually the first year. I've learned I used to always be a console and controller player You know and then uh That's the one good thing about fault. I guess it helped me uh learn to play mouse and keyboard Then I went and bought a $100 mouse and all this and just it still doesn't make me that much better Yeah, I think that's about all I had to say about the AI mode unless you guys had anything No No, I think it's a great step for them for sure. Oh god. Yeah. Oh god. Yeah Now we'll come with patch 14, which is supposed to be the 10th of December A lot of there'll be a lot of stuff going down to december boys. Uh-huh. Absolutely strap in and get ready And then the last thing that we had for fault they're they're having a contest Take a picture of your setup like what what you play fault on with fault up on your screen And post it on twitter reminds me a lot of how overprime is kind of doing their marketing I think if if they did pick up this up from overprime No harm no foul good on them for for for picking up a good idea because it's a great idea My only sort of problem with this is I brought this up to uh to bearded and windew It kind of seems hopefully they're the reward creativity in some way Otherwise, it's just a a contest of who has the most expendable income to drop Fucking monitors and set up. You know what I mean? Yeah, absolutely. I mean like I'm a gear nut, right? And so I have a lot of gear on my desk For various things the stream deck all my lights my camera the whole nine yards How does that not just give me an edge over somebody else? Yeah, like that it just it's kind of a strange way to do it Yeah, I had just redone my setup. I had just moved to a different room because the other room was too small And now this room's a beggar. I redid my monitors. I have one that's a portrait mode now I got them all next to here. I got I've got all kinds of stuff here. I don't have it all fancy looking because I built my own desk so But I'm still I keep forgetting to do that.  I bought a Walmart right now Brilliant. Yeah Perfect. Submit it man. You I guarantee you'll win. I'll go in there necessarily say though that the Best-looking one is going to win. They never said what the What the criteria for winning was so maybe it'll just be random. Maybe just pick them in random. I don't know In that case then definitely submit man goose We got to get your walmart table up there.  Nope All right, let's move on to prep assessor. Oh, whoa I was gonna say one less. I don't know if I had said it. They felt talked to me. I just like uh I was one of the big haters for fault and I was just I was always trashing on it all the time. I was like calling the cast grab all that stuff before But I've actually it's gotten better on 13 It got better on 13. It made me come back to play it even though it took a break for So I'm hoping 14 is going to be really good because I want phase. I don't care who the hell has phase And now two people are going to bring out phase and it's like cool, but I think that Uh They seemed to have gotten better when they actually realized a lot of the community is like, uh, you need to fix your shit After that thing with bearded and we were just talking y'all were talking about it for so long I was like and then it's like the day after it's like, hey, here's an update I was like good Keep up with the good work. Get this thing going. We need lots of competition I try to preach that all the time too like fault is way different than what you probably are hearing like people Shit on fault constantly, but they're talking about fault when it first released They're not talking about fault in its current state and it's Way better than it used to be Uh, well, let's move on to predecessor where I have absolutely nothing once again for predecessor I it's hard for me to get mad at him though because of the quality of the content that they have released I mean that that last stress test didn't go so great for him But predecessor has just felt absolutely amazing has looked great and just It has won the hearts of the community, but uh They don't put shit out anymore They're they went from transparent to opaque. I don't I don't like it. I don't like it And that's I mean we're approaching six months Uh since we've really heard anything meaningful. Yes. Oh, come on jelly. Uh, yeah, great and grucks.  I guess hopefully we'll get something out of them fairly soon I'll move on to the popularity poll uh 530 votes when I actually calculated everything. There's probably more now, but uh We have predecessor at 52 fault at 13 percent ethereal at 14 and over prime at 21 Clear evidence that this is conducted on my channel. I just did a big pretty big fluff piece for Overprime so of course the overprime numbers went up quite a bit But also over primes just been banging out updates left and right So people are starting to realize that the game is going to come out fairly soon So I think that has also contributed a little bit to the over prime hype Yeah, absolutely. It's seeing the huge increase in over prime I 100% guarantee is tied to your video you made on them last week Uh, but I think all the numbers make sense honestly, we're seeing more come out of over prime So it makes sense that people are gearing up and and getting more excited about them Fault everyone's waiting for patch 14 Fred everyone's waiting for so it makes sense that their numbers are going down ethereal it made sense. I mean like it Given the other things that are going on in the space that can't it can't always funnel into ethereal As much as I would love it to right but it's it's just one of those things So I don't I think it makes sense all the numbers and just be interesting to see in the future where these go But anything to add about the popularity poll Um I posted it everywhere to get people to come vote Okay, so it was also bloods doing That over prime got this name Just like just like most of your videos about over prime I'll go into their discord and post your video for you in case you didn't do it I usually don't I usually don't um I don't know man. It's weird how the numbers sort of fluctuate. It seems like Fred's numbers kind of have been gradually declining But it's mainly been shifts between the other three Fred stays fairly steady With their with with their numbers, but they are etching closer to actually dipping below 50% Um, if they don't put out any updates soon with all these other games coming out I'm sure that that will drop. Um I really think I really think that um the over prime They're gonna They're going to pull Their player base from outside the paragon refugees But I think most of the at least north american Pararefugees are going to end up going For pred or fault and most likely at this point they would probably go for pred But I think over prime will still succeed because they have a greater opportunity to pull in Different players because they are very different from paragon and They don't look quite like the same game. Like if you were looking steam and see pred fault and over prime Over prime looks different pred and fault look about the same. Yep 100% I think it could be good for The paragon successors as a whole Because now you don't have The monolith and legacy lovers playing the same game You can have them be separated and still have their own ecosystems to survive in Right and then kind of the weird thing too is Like a lot of people are kind of attracted to over prime because it has that legacy look to it But it has a very like super monolith feel So like it depends. Did you like the looks of legacy or did you like the play style of legacy? I like the over prime. I mean the I mean the The prime boss not over Or prime, you know what i'm talking about Or prime where they made it to where And that one video we saw where it's more way more open To where you really have to risk it to take that thing because you can get attacked from every single angle Yeah, it makes it more interesting. That's the exact um Prime boss pit that uh pair uh, yeah paragon legacy paragon had really Right down to the shadow wills overlooking it. Yeah Seems like they could combine like legacy map and monolith map and just kind of Made something out of both. Yeah That's pretty interesting that they They started with a legacy base and updated to the monolith aspects of it A predecessor started with a monolith base and that updated the legacy aspects of it like They're complete opposites in that regard Then false like we got pine trees Did you ever play the 3v3 Yes That was actually interesting. Yeah, it was it was like Back in january or something they or december than they made that That was cool. It was a three specific map for it. Mm-hmm It wasn't like they just took a lane out of their game. They created that from the ground up Yeah, the only thing they didn't have Was they didn't have random picks They had it to where you couldn't back Until you died But they didn't have random picks. So everybody would just pick the same hero all the time and howitzer. Yeah Yeah, it was just irritating Yeah, they still didn't have shimby's Sound effects fixed by then Good god I love me some shimby and they did really well with her kit Like she played exactly like she used to but you would throw a wolf and it'd go Like what was that? You do circle rhythm and she'd be like I was like Jesus christ I love it Perfect sound effects. Let me let me get sound grabs of all those putting them in the game guaranteed. Oh, by the way I didn't even know this was a thing um, I was talking in the over prime discord today. They were talking about how there used to be a bug where um, some of the characters voices would change like he was saying that uh He was playing narmash, but narmash had sparrows voice lines What would it not be awesome to have the fey with uh rampages voice lines? Like every time you throw harvest those like There we go. I love it. Perfect Put it in. I want that's what I wanted the game monetize that give me rampage voice lines on the fey Her actual voice lines sound evil, which her lure she wasn't kind of evil like You think out of her and more cash that morty would be the evil one. No, it was the fey Uh So let's uh, let's move on from the popularity poll get into the discussion topic We're talking about the pros and cons of elo. We've talked about this before and it's kind of easy to shit on elo As being a problem because it has been a problem for fault in the past But there's good things that come with it too. Like it actually has In parts of a bit of player retention. It gives you something to work forward to and You know, all these games are going to need something like that. Like fault's going to have their mastery system That's going to be I think a better thing to keep people involved in the game than just trying to climb elo, but um I mean, I will say that during one of the predecessor stress tests or Alpha tests like I took an hour to play fault because I was very close to having enough matter to get a decker skin or some Shit And like I just wanted that decker skin and so I played fault for about an hour Well, I could have been playing predecessor even though I kind of prefer a predecessor, but There was nothing to play towards In pred. So I think elo gives you something to play towards. I just don't think it's healthy Overall for a growing game I don't know. What do you guys think? I think adding it early is most often going to be detrimental Specifically adding it in a public viewable sense. Oh god, yeah Right because elo is really good in terms of a matchmaking system Because if mangus and I are both at 500 elo, but blood is at 10,000 It shouldn't be matching up the 500 elo players with the 10,000 elo player in in the majority of of cases Right. So having that system there so you can have those matchmaking differences huge Having it available for players to go out and be like I got 21 elo that game I lost 35 elo that game is just going to breed toxicity like nothing else Like it's a ranked system without having ranked God it has And it's it's bad. It's a it's a huge problem in that regard I think you're right on the money man goose of saying that it's a good player retention model But having it as your only player retention model is a problem What do you think blood Uh, I've I tried to voice this before but I got shut down I think one time in the sort But uh, I knew to it. So I'm like I figured hey, it's an early access. It's not really a ranked mode. So why not just Why not have it on their site to where oh, you win a match. You just gain this amount you lose a match You lose this amount and it's the same amount. So because people like me go in there and play it and I get I only get toxic when I'm like I'm trying to do good in a match and then We lose that match because of some afk player or You know somebody trying to cheat something do whatever Something happens where that player is not doing anything or they give up early because They're like, oh, well, I don't know what you're doing. So I'm just gonna afk now And then you look and you lost like 50 points. You're like What we could have won that game, but this guy yeah, it makes no end then I'm like, oh cool. I won and I can actually do it So I've actually won 10 in a row And then I lose two matches and I'm back down to the exact same elo. I was at You know 12 matches ago It just it always frustrated me. It always made me kind of not want to keep playing especially at the time of night I play There's not that many people on it's mostly really good players And It's I don't know. It's just that kind of thing that kind of irritates me words they since there's never never Well, sometimes it's a used to be above 200, but come on. Just don't use a traditional elo system with so few players Don't make people want to quit or just don't make it publicly available or something like That like I've talked about this several times on my channel, but Like when fault was in testing they they had elo like public public elo among testers So testers were competing against each other for elo instead of testing the game Which is one of the reasons fault came out with so many bugs It's because everybody's trying to be as competitive as possible. Nobody's just Dicking around in the jungle see if they can get stuck on a rock. You know what I mean? So then when the game came out People get stuck on rocks, you know get stuck on fog walls get stuck on this and that so The the elo at that point Definitely a hundred percent uncalled for Um, I think a better system is like the mastery system if you could do a mastery system like that from the start Where you're like wins gain you something Without showing your elo You still get to progress. You still get to like show people. Yeah, I'm I've got this many points and I've got whatever And the good players will still get more points than the than the bad players The bad players will still be losing, but you don't have that elo and then that sort of haughty.  Well, I'm master like and even early paragon had that problem too agorad.gg was available from essentially minute one of paragon's existence And yeah, it did the same thing to the community is the second you got into game People looked up your name and went oh this guy's in silver I don't want to be in this game.  You never go down So if you lose a game you don't lose elo when you win you gain Statistically that is going to put you slightly higher in terms of skill level They because it's there's no actual fluctuation necessarily. It's just they on wins you go up So it'll put you slightly higher than your actual skill level But that also gives you the opportunity to grow as a player By pushing you just that little bit by putting matching you with people that are just slightly higher than your skill level consistently and that's across the board so That system I think is also way better because there's no feeling of defeat when you lose It's just a reward when you win Right, it's not I it doesn't take me Four games to climb out of the one loss that I had right right And so it's it feels better despite being a very similar system at the same time I don't know. Have y'all actually seen y'all actually playing in the over prime dimmer last year I before I got into the whole elo thing and learned You know into the fault elo. They actually had kind of a thing but all their like So-called elo stuff matchmaking statistics rank. They had a rank system. It was all in game You could just scroll over to a tab and you'd see it. I don't know how they did theirs, but I always kind of Like I didn't have a place where I'd see like, oh, I lost this much. I'm like, I don't want to play anymore I would actually keep playing because and then they even had They had so many things that would help you learn like You could go to like the tree the breakdown tree. You could see every single skill That any every player use what they activated Anything they upgraded and what time they did it at I was like, this is extremely helpful for me that I need to know I'm always like a time person. I have to have This has to be here and this has to be done at this time and then I need to do this I like if I don't get the sequence in my head correctly You'll see me just stumbling around like, uh Where am I supposed to go again? And then all of a sudden I die and I get behind and I'm like But I just really liked there in over it just back then it was The only game I could play because I think fault Was just about to come out. It was still not released in EA yet But I just liked how they had in-game chat when you're waiting They had lobby chat where you're just with your buddy Or a team you can still chat with it. It had an all chat also. So anybody that actually Online on the game they would actually have the way you could chat with people. So I don't know they had all these features. It was like and that was over a year ago I can't wait to see what they have now. I just hope I'll add something like that where you can just chat with your teammates because sometimes I'll join people that Watch my stream, but if I'm streaming, I don't want to be in voice chat But I still want to be able to talk to them. So it'd be nice if I could have like while we're waiting for a match A nice place to chat with them But I kind of got off the elo thing, but I mean you were talking about elo there at the beginning, which I didn't know they had which I Again, I don't think they should have had that back then. I don't think they should have had any kind of Elo display It does sound helpful that you could look at the top players and see what their builds were and when they unlock stuff And it was per match. It's like the recent match. It was like in the recent match thing You would just see exactly what you build what all your teammates build what the enemy build And when they did it even if they used I think it showed Yeah, I don't think it showed when they used a skill or anything But it actually showed when they bought a card when they did what stuff like that. That's a neat system I think something I've seen from league recently that they're it's still in testing They haven't officially released it is that there's actually going to be a setting to opt out of that third party data Where like like that people can search your elo that people can search your rank that people can search your match history all these things And I think that is a setting all of these games need to consider And I think it should be on by default and opt in To sharing that data with these third party websites Because then your players feel better because they don't feel like someone's constantly going to like Search them up and then just flame them for having a bad game last game or whatever it may be But I think that's a brilliant way to do it that more companies and games need to consider A system like that where you can hide your statistics The the issue with that becomes a if you are hiding your statistics What are you hiding so your teammates could be like why why aren't you showing your statistics? Come on. What's going on? What rank are you? What's what's this? And so it is a double-edged sword It's just finding the balance of how to do both things without causing other problems Yeah, that sounds yeah, I really like that idea Sounds like there's a lot of options out there for these people for these companies to go with I just I hope they pick one up I feel like the majority of them should just avoid public elo For quite some time. Yeah when when they first release public elo is just going to be detrimental What fault is the prime example of this? Right that it became that's all it became about you need to have When you first release have some other system to keep player retention up do not use public elo. Please god Yeah All right, that's about all I had to say about elo. Do you guys have anything else? Oh, that's it I think I think we put our heads together came up Across other games and with our own ideas. I think we came up with some pretty good ideas tonight and kind of I'm proud of us. I'm proud of you too Ex pingus. Let's go and close it out from the topic of discussion. Let's move on to plugs Blood hunter.
