One of the weirdest things I see happen with musicians and groups is they feel the need to be in the same room for any progress to be made on their music. When in fact, science and human nature tell us that this is the wrong thing to do. In this video, I'm going to explain to you how to use time working alone on your songs and how both of those times be as effective as possible. Hi, I'm Jesse Cannon and this is Muse Formation. In the last episode of this series, we talked about how brainstorming needs a blue sky period, free of criticism to really work well. An idea generation can be enhanced when it's free of criticism and can grow. But then it should get criticized once it's ready to be edited. It's insane how many musicians don't get the dynamic of the work you should be doing on your own. Whether it's writing songs, getting inspired, or thinking of marketing ideas, there's work that should be done on your own and then work that's brought to the group. In scientific terms, they call this the hub and spoke method, where someone works alone in the spoke and then comes to the hub where everyone meets and then discusses what they have done in their alone time. In Cal Newport's great book, Deep Work, he talks of this method of execution where each person and team will go back to their private office to develop an idea. They then vet the idea together in a collaborative environment, in the hub. This method allows development to occur in private without the interruption of flow states that are so crucial for good songwriting and if you read interviews with great songwriters, most of them value these flow states immensely. Instead, the best creative outcomes come when the individuals work alone and later pool their ideas. Since we know being creative in front of others isn't the optimum environment, why is every startup employing an open office with no room to think alone? Well, this is weird, since MIT's Building 20 is considered a mecca of creative achievements such as Noam Chomsky's Linguistics Department, which influence both Pixar and Facebook's open offices being built around the hub and spoke idea. But unlike the open offices cheered throughout startups today, a small detail is left out of Building 20's history. It contains soundproofed offices for isolated work that can enable deep work without criticism, unlike modern open office designs. But what should you be learning from these dorks? This allowed creators to work alone in their own spoke, but also meet with others in the hub. The model lets them think in private, but then when they leave their private soundproof rooms, it was designed to make people run into others with different pedigrees, just like your band members should be. And these serendipitous run-ins would happen as often as possible, exposing them to the other ideas outside their own discipline that they're an expert on. Put simply, the creators worked alone, but were very likely to discuss with others what they're working on to gain insight into their work and get the crucial objectivity we all need to make our creations better. So if we take that to music, what does it mean? This model could be taken right back to many of the deficiencies of the band practice room or the modern day writing songs around a computer approach. Knowing what we know about creativity is usually best for one person to work by themselves when they feel inspired and then go back to the group for a collaborative vetting in the hub. In the modern band sense, this means working alone on a song privately and then taking it to the practice room or inviting collaborators to the studio to refine after you've gotten your initial burst of an idea out. And letting the practice space be a space for experimenting and going back and forth with feedback and suggestions. But the spoke should be a place where you work alone to generate ideas without the pressure and anxiety of considering the feedback of others and their criticism. When the collaborative environments get stuck at a problem, it can be especially helpful to pause and take the problem home and deal with something else while you're in the hub or your band practice room. Employing the hub and spoke method isn't always about going from your home demo studio to a collaborative band practice room. Chris Beyo from Vampire Weekend talks about their band evolving from jamming in a room to now sending demos back and forth with members adding their little pieces from their own Daws. The benefits of this practice are echoed in interviews I've done with other groups like Thrice, where they live in different cities. So to effectively collaborate, they have no other choice. A hidden benefit to this method gets back to what we discuss when members of a group need to feel they're being heard and not shut down. By developing your idea on your own, you're free to build it until you're happy with it without criticism. The option paralysis of too many collaborators trying to get their ideas through at once can be super paralyzing to a creative process. Getting your initial ideas as far as possible in seclusion can allow a more clear mindset to avoid many of the pitfalls of creative obstruction. Visionless people always defend the status quo. While I know most of our favorite songs were birthed in band practice sessions or sitting around a studio computer, that doesn't mean we can't reach greater heights by learning from this concept. By taking creative contributions out of the practice room for further development can help many musicians get to a much more creative place. That's it. Am I missing anything?

This time, we're going to be looking at exceptions and exception handling, looking at how MIPS will deal with situations that are unanticipated and how you can actually write code that will handle those. To begin with, an exception is any sort of unanticipated event. That could be something going wrong such as a software error. Perhaps you had some overflow in an ALU computation. Maybe you tried to access an unaligned memory address. Or you might have even tried to run an instruction that doesn't even exist. These are all the errors that might possibly occur when just running regular instructions. Exceptions also include any sort of kernel request. That could be one of your system call instructions, which asks the kernel to do something for you. But it could be something else like a memory fault. You asked for a piece of data that wasn't immediately available to the CPU. So it had to ask the operating system to go find that piece of data and put it where it was expecting to find it. The last type of exceptions are often called interrupts. Those are any sort of requests that is made from an external device. That might be a hard drive or a keyboard or a mouse. Anything that's providing input to the computer that needs to be dealt with immediately. There are two general ways of handling these exceptions. We can have a status register, in which case we write down why we're accessing the exception handler. Then we call the one generic exception handler that we have. It will read that register and it will decide what to do to handle the problem that it's got. The other alternative is that we could have vector interrupts. In this case, we don't have a status register. We're not going to write down why we're calling our exception handler. Instead, we'll have multiple exception handlers. So when one type of exception occurs, I might go to this block of code. When a different type of exception occurs, I might go to this block of code. Third type of exception occurs, maybe I've got a block of code over here that handles that. So instead of having one single block of code that figures out what went wrong and how to handle it, which would turn into a big case statement anyway, we could just have a series of different handlers that are each capable of handling one and let the CPU decide which one of those we should run based on the exception that we get. Now we're going to look at the specifics of how MIPS actually handles exceptions and how you can write code to work with that. To begin with, MIPS has a coprocessor to support exception handling, which is similar to what we had for floating point processing, except that we'll be using coprocessor 0 instead of coprocessor 1. It has a whole lot less functionality on it because it's related to exception handling and not floating point operations. We'll have some similar operations like data transfer. There are four registers that are really interesting to us for exception handling support. And you can actually see those when you're looking at QTSpib. Those include bad address, which tells us if we gave it a bad address that was unacceptable for whatever instruction we had. So if we have an unaligned address, then that would show up in our bad fee address. We have a status register, but unlike what we just looked at, we're not actually going to put the error in there. Error will go in the cost register. Instead, the status register holds a little bit of a history about what things have gone wrong. It tells us about the last three errors, including whether they happened in kernel mode or in user mode. And whether it was an interrupt or an exception. It also tells the processor which exceptions it should look for, which ones should it care about. Maybe we'd like to ignore all interrupts for the moment. We can set that in the status register. The cost register is where we're actually going to put whatever error has occurred. Whether it's an actual error or just a kernel request, we'll put that cause in the cost register. EPC is for exception program counter. This tells you where in your code the exception occurred. That will give us a way to go back to that line of code if we're interested. We might just kill the user code, but often enough, we do want to go back to that code, and the EPC will give us a way to do that. So since MIPS has this cause register, we're just going to have a single exception handler. It will be able to look at that cause register and determine what needs to be done to recover from the exception and continue on. Our exception handler though is just a block of code, like any other block of code we've written. It handles requests, displays errors if they're needed, decides whether we should kill the user process or continue running. Whatever needs to be done to handle any exception it can expect to have. But it's really just another block of code. In our case, we can find it in a very specific part of memory, which is at this address. And you can notice that this is actually above the stack. This is one reason why our memory is limited, because we've stuck other things above it. We've actually got stuff out there that we wouldn't want to overwrite with dynamic data. So when an exception occurs, MIPS will transfer control to that address and just start running the exception handler. Again, our exception handler is just this block of code, looks at the data that it's got, and does something with it to handle the issue. When it's done, we need to return. But it turns out that EPC isn't always going to be the same thing. In some cases, it's the address of the instruction where the exception occurred. In other cases, it's the address of the instruction right afterwards. Because we don't want to go back to run the same instruction we just did again, we have to be sure that we're going to get the address of the instruction after the exception every time. So these two blocks of code are slightly different. Really the only difference is this line of code, where we're incrementing K0 by 4. So the first line of code in both of these tells the processor to go copy the EPC off of co-processor 0, stick it into K0 on the regular CPU. Then if we need to, we add 4. We know we're pointing at the address of the instruction after the exception. Then we have this RFE instruction. The return from exception instruction resets all of the exception handling support so that it's ready to watch for a new exception. This will make sure it's not going to come back and just run the exception handler again. We need to make sure that it's reset all of the relevant registers so that it can detect a new exception. The last thing we've got there is that jump register instruction. And that works just the same as a regular jump register instruction. This time we have K0 because that's where we put our return address. We don't have it in the RA register because we might overwrite the return address that the previously running function had put in there. We probably still need that return address. So we use K0, which is reserved for the kernel. The processor can only really access those registers when it's running in kernel mode. So a user can't just modify K0. Thus it will be free as long as we're not using it for something else within our kernel code. So MIPS gives us a handful of registers to work with that we can use to handle any sort of exception that might occur. And the way we handle those is just with another block of code. We'll look at the cause of our exception, any relevant data, and make any decisions it needs to about what we should do in this case.


Hi, I'm Mayor Ivy Taylor and I'd like to invite you to join the Mayor's Summer Reading Club here at the San Antonio Public Library. We want our young people to keep reading throughout the summer to avoid that summer slide. Summer Reading Club is a great chance to spend time at the library, to meet with people, to get prizes and acknowledgements for reading throughout the summer. The Public Library played a key role in my development as a young person and providing me access to books and allowing me to further my education. We have a wonderful asset here in our San Antonio Public Library and I encourage and invite everyone to take advantage.


Our number one job is to simply make people feel comfortable with us. Like I said, I hope that I'm reshaping a lot of your mindset. I hope a lot of this stuff is really going deep with you and really getting home. But how do we make people feel comfortable? It's real simple. Okay, here it is. You can have a vehicle in place that will bring you business automatically through your past sphere, your past clients, referrals, referrals over referrals. That's the place we all want to be in. You should get to the place where you're closing the amount of deals you want to close through past clients and referrals and referrals over referrals. You can take a step back from all the hard grinding and building your business. And then what? You can go build other businesses. That's when I wrote two books. That's when I started speaking. That's when I started coaching. That's when I started doing it. I didn't do social media. I never did social media until I started coaching. I still don't use social media in my real estate business. Not to say. Social media is amazing for real estate agents. But it just goes to show you that there's so many ways to succeed. So, I believe that what really wins, okay, at the end of the day, you can do all the online marketing. You can do all this, you know, different things at the end of the day. Everything that you do when you buy leads, when you do open houses, when you're doing mail out, everything that you do, social media, all of it, okay, it all comes back to one thing. And that is voice to voice communication. Everything that you do is always going to come right back to the voice to voice communication. This is one reason why we're still around and technology hasn't completely replaced us. The voice to voice, the consultation through the ever-changing treacherous market, the treacherous journey of the transaction. There's so many twists and turns. If you don't know what you're doing, heck, let's be real. I couldn't go to Texas. Let's say I'm in Alabama. There's no way I could go to Texas and actually represent myself. I don't know what's going on in Texas. So here I am, an expert in my market as a real estate agent. I couldn't really go to a different market. I would have to consult with a real estate agent even though I've done 1,000 deals. That's how treacherous this is. So if you could imagine never really doing real estate, not in the business, how treacherous it really is. So it's all going to come back to voice to voice because people, they can see your ads online. They can see your face. They can see your pictures. They can see you list a bunch. But until they actually talk to you and get that warm, fuzzy feeling and feel like you care about them and feel comfortable with you, there's not going to be a transaction. At the end of the day, our number one job is not to get the appointment, to get the listing sign and show the properties. Our number one job is to simply make people feel comfortable with us. You can do all the advertising you want if they call you up to do the deal and they don't feel comfortable with you. Chances are low that you're going to do a deal with them. So our number one job, I'm going to say it again because it's so powerful. And this is something I get into with my coaching. I'm very passionate about the way that I coach and the things that I say because I'm telling you all this guy's for free. When you get in my coaching program, there's no upsell, right? So I can tell you what I really think. And I don't have to go with the status quo and the normal mainstream coaching facade of the guys that charge you a thousand months to teach 1980s strategies and scripts. I can tell you that your number one job is this, to make people feel comfortable with you. So how do we do that? How do we make people feel comfortable with us? It's very simple. Guys, I keep everything extremely simple. That's why I only do a weekly email. I'm not trying to complicate my situation and do 15 things. That's the problem with real estate. There's so many things you can do and everything works. You have to sacrifice what you would have made on these other activities just to really become a master at one, two or three things. Like I said, I hope that I'm reshaping a lot of your mindset. I hope a lot of this stuff is really going deep with you and really getting home. But how do we make people feel comfortable with us? It's real simple. Okay. Here it is. Buy being comfortable with them. Boom. It's like a mind drop situation. Being comfortable with them. When you encounter a prospect, either by phone or in person, if you are not comfortable with them, if you're nervous, if you're not sure of yourself, if you're not confident, if you're tight, they're going to sense that and they're going to say, what is going on here? This is a red flag. Why is this agent nervous? If they're nervous about something, now I'm nervous. If they're nervous about the deal, I don't know if I want to do this deal. They're just trying to make money. They're just trying to get the deal done. Those are the agents that end up being average in my mind. Even if you do make a lot of money, in my mind, you're still average because you're just trying to get people to do something. Here's the thing, guys. As salespeople, we don't have to try to get people to do anything. They already want to do it. People are already closing deals left and right. They know when they want to buy, when they want to sell, what they want to do, when they want to do it. We don't have to get them to do anything. That's not our job. Let's go back. Let's go back. What is our number one job? It's not to do a deal. It's not to get them to do something. They're already going to do it. It's to make people feel comfortable with you. That's it. If you can do that across thousands of agents, I mean not thousands of prospects, thousands of property owners in your market, and then build that personal brand on the backside, you win. It's really that simple, guys. This business is so simple. It's crazy. It's scary. It's scary how simple it is. People search their whole life for the secret to success here.  You don't have to spend $500 on an online course. It's real simple, real simple. Make thousands of property owners in your market feel comfortable with you and build a personal brand with them forever. End of story. Hookline, senior, checkmate, you win.


The following is a presentation of TFNN. The Trader's Edge with Steve Rhodes at 1-877-MAC-27-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. The Trader's Edge. Now, Steve Rhodes. Good afternoon from TFNN. Welcome to the July 17th, the wonderful Wednesday edition of today's Trader's Edge show. I'm your host, Steve B. Perseverance Rhodes, who absolutely knows that each of us should always be pioneers of our future versus prisoners of our past. Hope everyone out there is having a great day. Hey, let's make sure we have an extraordinary one. And of course the easiest way to do that, the only way to do that, is to always remember that life is happening for us, not to us. That's right, when you and I make that one little 2 by 4 shift, it means we can find the goodness in every set of circumstance that happens to us. Today, you and I, we're going to go check on the circumstance of these markets. We're going to go figure out what those bulls and bears, what those buyers and sellers are communicating to you and I, just past one o'clock in the afternoon. I want you to know that I'm absolutely grateful for your presence here, but more important than that. During this next hour, I'm here to serve you. So feel free to pick up that phone. You can dial on an<PHONE_NUMBER>. Would love to hear from you. If you can't dial in, we've got you covered. Let those fingers do the walking. That's right. You can send me an email, Steve at tfnn.com. If you'd be kind enough to put radio show question in the subject heading, of course in our Tigers Denny Ping will do. So let's go ahead and get this show started up by the director of the entertainment media at a wonderful Wednesday. Of course, this is Tiger Financial News Network. I'm Steve Rhodes. Welcome to less show right now. The DAWO 42 points all the indices in the red with the exception of the semiconductor index, which is up 7 10 or 10 points. Nothing substantial to the downside of the transports. They were up big. Yes, I remember we identified. Ah, wave number seven $1.5 million. We're going to keep an eye on that right now. Printing out at 13 15 gold having a strong morning of $12 and 60 cents as is sober up 27 pennies trade out at 15 95 lights. We drew back 69 cents that's up a little over 1% leading the charge to the upside dollar wise Cintas Corp CTS up 7% over 7% 18 bucks as a meal holdings up nearly 14 Seattle genetics up about 12 bucks or 19% to the downside. It is Norfolk Southern 13 bucks and change nearly 7% Amazon off 11. That's a half a percent. Union Pacific down about 6% or $10. So the first thing we're going to do here was a in essence yesterday's request that apparently I must have gotten wrong for Lee Lee B who is looking for an entry point into GBTC, which is a pretty good entry point into GBTC. So here's what we know. Let me just go over this for each of you out here. Really the same set of tools that you and I use for all the instruments all different timeframes. Here's the guy the Bitcoin trust ETF and your key resistance level here. Lee I want to make sure I know that you're looking for a long position. Figure out your risk reward right now. The price is going to go down. So the countertrend rally, if that's all that's underway here would stop at about 18 90 hasn't been tested yet. We've seen price get up towards that level close to 18 but not to 1890. So that would be in my opinion what you'd be looking at as the reward situation. Now we look at the weekly chart. We're just stepping back here. Do we see any kind of a top? Well, we don't have wave number seven. We've seen a lot of that. You would expect price to pull back when Stevie's red line turns green. It did that back here. It looks like around May 24th. It tells you have an impending test that is coming. That test is going to be price and that line. Well in this case, you're a turn green. So that's a positive. What you're looking for that level is going to be 1187. So 1187 is a number Lee. I would put down on a pad of paper. You want price to get down here for Bitcoin shows that price right now today is testing the bottom of its daily profile 1251. If you see a close below 1251 and right now there's not anything to suggest that we won't see that where that's today or not. I don't know, but price here should pull back to 994. So you're asking for that price 994. However, it's with this caveat. I need to see what pattern is unfolding as price gets back to 994 and whether it's going to go up to 994 and whether it's going to go up to 994. At this stage of the game, keep those hands in the pocket when it comes to. At least the charts here for GB TC. Let's go to a caller. We've got Wesley who wants to know Tony from Wesley wants to talk about gold Tony. Thanks for calling. Thanks for holding. How are you? Hi, Steve. How are you? Very good. Thank you. And thank you for helping me. I'm looking at the position in one of the direction. David Uncle Sam Tom is learning how that looks to you on your chart. We're sure our term play. And thus, okay, so here's what here's what I would say at this stage. You and I, Tony, we're going to go check out the patterns inside of the XAU because the XAU has really been the vehicle that has been providing great signals and the signal right now is that today is going to be the eighth bar of a Tom DeMarc setup pattern in that pattern. It can be bars number eight, nine or the bar following nine that could identify that top if one is to occur. So today could be the day, but I would not take the trade at this stage because we don't have any signals to suggest that that is the case. There is also a secondary pattern that is going to be the top of the bar of a Tom DeMarc setup pattern. It could be the secondary pattern of strength. Now that pattern requires some type of bearish reversal candle in order to confirm a top. So I would not take the trade inside of dust unless you know something that my charts are not suggesting to me, and I would wait for a confirmation of that pattern out here. There may be it. So I'll summarize it for you this morning. I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you. Now, not all of these nine counts turn into topping or bottoming signals out there, so you have to watch the price action as you come into that level, but you've got a secondary. Pattern out here, which is an even better pattern. The Rosamundim indicator signal, and you would want to wait for a bearish reversal candle before you would consider taking a stab at going short of a second. I'm going to wait for him right now, but I'll go back and look at it afterwards, you know. Yeah, so you're on to something. I just think that that right now there's nothing to indicate that it could be today, but let's not do the could be's. Let's just wait for confirmation. The buyers and sellers have one role for both you and I, and that's a generate a message for us, and I think we're getting close to that. If these patterns continue to be out here, it'll be a bearish reversal candle that will give you that first indication that at least sellers are going to go ahead and think along the same lines that you are as we speak. I do think we're getting close to you. I could be today could could be or tomorrow or Friday. Here's one thing I know we have a lot of customers out there, especially those on radio. Well, thank you. I appreciate that very much and I'll send to your $5. You don't need to. You already got more than enough for that. Bye Bye. Hope you're right back folks. That was off 48 points.

If you're in the CD market and looking for a secure investment, the Tiger first mortgage program may work for you. The security for these tax free zones across the country where you can build and hold for 10 years and pay no tax on the profits, which makes these lots valuable. The investment is anywhere from $30,000 to $75,000. The interest paid is 7% yearly paid on a monthly basis. According to bankrate.com, the best rate for a four year CD in the country as of February 20th is 3.1%. A $50,000 investment at a normal four year CD rate of 3.1% would give you income of $1,550 per year or $6,200 over the four year period. That same $50,000 investment in the Tiger first mortgage program would give you $3,500 per year or $14,000 over the four years. What should you prefer? $6,200 or $14,000 of interest on your investment? If you'd like more information about the Tiger first mortgage program, you can call me at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

John and the Tiger's Den was kind enough to post something for the deniers in there. We'll go ahead and share that with you, and that is one of the tools that John likes to use.  It's a great book. You'll have to read it a couple dozen times before you totally get it. I still have to keep going back and reading it, but here's how the sequential system in essence work. Here's what here's if you if you watch us on Tiger TV have automated the count system, and when you get to this 13 count, which you'll see a 13 and both red and blue 13 is the sequence. The blue is the sequential and accounts and the red is the combo counts out there, and the little black numbers are the TD set of nine count. We're not going to spend that much time there at the moment, but what we can see is that two trading sessions ago, you've got those 13 counts. Now just getting a 13 doesn't mean you've got a top or a bottom. In this case here atop because of the move higher. What you do get out here and is your look at the cell signal is when you see a close below the bar for bars earlier. So similar to the TD set up nine count, that would be your confirmation is John pointed out that if you see a close below the close of July 11 and you see a close below the bar, you're going to see a close point out there exactly as 2991.91 Then in fact, that would go ahead and give you that cell signal. So you're going to want to watch 2999 91. We're trading below that right now, but it's really going to be the end of the day. Now, interestingly enough, what we got with Stevie's system, the rose momentum indicator signal was a top yesterday. You and I had looked at that by saying, and I'm going to take a look at the TD sequential pattern. It is pretty significant. The E s mini it formed that three River morning River that three River evening star pattern out there is where the market speaks to us. Now this says we have a top in place. It doesn't work all the time. If you get that pattern, you get the TD sequential. There's other things you and I will go look at. I mean, do do as you wish. This is the daily time frame chart out there. We'll go take a look at other levels of support. Where is it that price could be that. So we're going to go back to $2,991. 2991 level 2999 level out there for the S&P 500. If you'd like to learn all about that pattern, just go buy one of Tom's books out there. A couple of his books now. Um. The other cool thing now here is what so bowls and bears. There's information that's been presented to both you and I will pull that up. There's a lot of information that's been presented to both of you and I will pull that up in the form. The one in the ES many in the NQ. I believe that we did. Maybe we didn't. It may have popped up after the show. I can't recall search for sure. But now we can see truly a struggle between the bulls and the bears. And what I mean by that, if you watch us on Tiger TV, I just want you to pay attention to the panels on the three panels from left to right. The very left one is the ES many. The one next to it is the NQ and the one next to that is the ES. That's why we're going to take a look at both sides. Let's take a look at both sides of the trade out here. So we have the bearish reversal candle identifying atop within his job points out. We've got a TD sequential pattern. If you get a close below that bar four days ago, then that's going to give you a cell signal. Now whenever we get cells signals on anything, the very first thing that you and I are trying to figure out is well, where support because it may be retracement back to support. That's about 30 points 28 points below where we're trading right now. So that would be a nice move. Now the structure of this box is bearish. What we mean by that is the center line as closer to the top than it is to the bottom. If you see today a close around where we're at, which is below three thousand and five. That's an indication that sellers. They've got the muscle. They've got the muscle to go ahead and push price or should be able to have the muscle to push price down to twenty nine sixty nine. If we take a look at the end, you similar situation. However, um, no types of real confirmation per se with regard to its market profiles. What I mean by that, you can clearly see the bearish structured box top of the box, 7975 and change center line at 7923 bottom at 7794. Right now prices tested and rejected. The center of the box for both fires and sellers are lined up here. Won't be bullish again until you see a close above 7975. Move down below 7924. Like in the ES mini below the center of that box should say that there's enough strength now by sellers to push price down to 7794. Now here's the cool thing that I think really where we get the signal information has the market formed a top or not, and that's going to come from the Dow equity futures contract. Now we put the Dow equity futures contract up on the screen here using Stevie's tools. You're not going to see a topping pattern. However, there is a small A to B equal CD pattern that is set up here, but no bearish reversal signal. You need that to confirm that sellers have said, Okay, I'm ready to try to Kai Bosch's. Well, here's the other thing. So we don't have a topping pattern out here, but what we do have is a brand new profile. It popped up about two hours ago. I can't guarantee that it's going to come back to the stock market. So we're going to have a brand new hold throughout the day. We'll look at it tomorrow. But right now we have to go with the information we're using Stevie's advanced Doppler system here. But the cool thing is it would be the Dow that should bust through the bottom of its box before the ES and the N Q most likely. The reason is because the bottom of the Dow's box is 27175. Let me say that's 27175. So the bottom of the box is 27175. So the number is 27175. Hello so far today has been 27226. So the number you want to write down on a pad of paper. You want me on that wall, and that's 27175. Should you see a close below that? Then we would say, regardless of the fact that I don't have a topping signal inside the Dow equity futures contract, we still have a change in trend signal here. The way that these profiles are in the top of the Dow is in a larger consolidation. We're up at the top of that. I'll show you that. But but here's what I want to say. If you look at coming off of the lows out here from the 26, you do not see a close below the bottom of a profile. If you take a look at coming off of the highs here in May, May days high. Once we close below that level, its box out there, which was on May second out there. That was your confirmation when price bounced up the very it. It's a good one. It's a good one. So where did it bounce up to? It bounced up to the bearstructured center of the box were both buyers and sellers are that was that countertrend rally, and it was the 90 swoosh to the downside out. There were it did complete a pattern on June the third. I know that because we went ahead and took a long position in the newsletter, June 3rd and then again the morning of June the fourth out there. So right now, what you'll be watching inside the Dow equity futures contract is 2737 397. If you see the Dow equity futures contract close above that 27397. It just really is a, uh, an indication that, Hey, the fact that Steve's chart didn't show us that topping signal out there was because there wasn't one. Now price could pull back to support 27175 and hold out there, and then we've got to say, okay, so what about the signals inside the ES and the N Q. So we're just going to have to take a look at that. You know, what's the answer to that question? You know, how is it that price? Why did price stop where it did this morning out here? And you and I, we answer that question all the time. We know the answer to that question. You know the answer. Don't you? There's the 30 minute chart. T. D. Set up nine counts.

So the next chart that you and I are going to feast our eyes on is going to be this one here. We're taking a look at the New York Stock Exchange. We've got a line chart out here, so we're just looking at closes of the session. And then you've got the center panel. That's the Advanced Decline Oscillator Reading. What that is, what that represents, is it represents the difference between two exponential moving averages, 39 and 19 of the Advanced Decline data. And the cool thing about utilizing that tool is kind of like Liars poker. How do you know when to move higher or lower is BS? Before Steve, I can use that BS stuff, before Steve shared with you how to actually use that information. What you'll see here, and we're going to focus on right now, is the present green bar, the little used panel number one, the top panel. And what I've marked on here is I've marked with the S&P making higher highs. Now, it wasn't the fact that it was making higher highs that I marked it. Where I began that making higher highs is when we saw the Advanced Decline Oscillator reading, this was on June 20th, peak. And it peaked right at the 150 level. There's something referred to as 150 failure. Oftentimes, when a market is going to peak, so to speak, you'll see the Advanced Decline Oscillator reading turned down from there. Now, price did not turn down from there. It went higher. That created the divergence, because what we have here was that Advanced Decline Oscillator reading is a set of lower highs out there. Now, today is an important day, today and tomorrow, for the New York Stock Exchange, because the way that this Oscillator works to include this as part of your training is you want to watch, in this case, when it gets below zero. Right now, the reading is minus 22.52. But I don't know what the market breath, the Advanced Decline date is going to look like at 4 o'clock today. If it looks similar to the way it is right now, you'll have one reading below zero. Now, the way that this works out here is you really need confirmation. And confirmation means a close below that level tomorrow. Now, this is kind of cool with regard to how you put this together with what we're looking at inside the other markets out there, the S&P, the NASDAQ, and so forth, because if price closes below today, stays below today, then the meaning is that sellers really are in control. It doesn't matter to me, the price movement, this is just simply trying to understand who's got the ball. We're playing football here. Who is in control of the game out here? And, you know, like musicians can have a one-hit wonder. Well, one day below and then closing back above says sellers were never in control, but that was a fake out in the Liar's poker game. So you'll want to watch the New York Stock Exchange. It's advanced decline reading at the end of today's session, as well as tomorrow to see if there is continued follow-through. Just as long as it stays below that zero line, that's the follow-through to say, okay, sellers are now in control. Now, the bottom portion of our screen out here is taking a look at the spot volatility index, which right now is trading at $1320. The 50-day exponential moving average number is $1474. In general, when price is below the 50-day exponential moving average tells you there's plenty of liquidity in the market. It doesn't matter whether the reading is $1474 or $4474. The folks who will tell you that the number is important, just simply don't do any analysis to understand that number, meaning the spot volatility number and its 50-day exponential moving average. Things will not get rocking and rolling to the downside unless price closes over that. So the number to be watching is $1474. It's going to take likely days, maybe not, but I mean, I can't forecast how long it's going to take, but you're going to want to watch that because if in fact we've got an advanced decline oscillator below zero and the spot volatility index up above the 50-day exponential moving average, that's when things can really begin to fall apart. So summarize it all. We've got great signals, great information out there. We've got the TD sequential count that John and the Tigers then pointed out. We've got the road momentum indicator top inside the ES, meaning the S&P, the NASDAQ. We've got other wave G readings. We'll go ahead and pull those over to make sure that you're taking a look at it. So everything is in place for a top to form. Now what we're looking for is what we're looking for for our confirmations or confirmations of a change in trend. How do we get those? Well, we get those by taking look at those TAS market profiles, those support levels. Those are key. We have new ones for the ES, the NQ and the DAO. So that is really important to be watching those levels and then we can finally put the icing on the cake will be paying attention to the New York Stock Exchange, its advanced decline oscillator reading and what it says. As I mentioned, the daily timeframe chart out here, you've got a number seven. This letter G on our system out here. We pointed this out yesterday and probably the day before, so I won't point it out again to you other than right now. And what we can see with the NASDAQ composite is the last time it made its high back in the April timeframe. It was was wave number seven, probably no coincidence that coming off of the June low out here that we now got to wave number seven and price begun pulling back in the case of the NASDAQ composite. We really need to see price close below Stevie's green line. It's right around just use 82 15. It's right right around there. We're trading at 82 16. So close below. I'll give you the real number. Let's not leave things to chance out here. 82 12 28 82 12 28 is the is the number out there. If the NASDAQ composite close below that, what it's communicated to you and I is price may just simply be coming back to where it had broken out and that number is 79 61 46. That's on the NASDAQ composite. So just like you've got the New States NASDAQ composite, a wider swath of the market really giving us important signal information. Watch that green line number to help you understand what the market is communicating to you. As we mentioned, the semis are the only index trading to the upside. Why is that? Well, we don't have any kind of topping signal here. When the socks formed its high back in the April timeframe, it was with that Tommy to mark set up nine count. It was bar number eight. Remember, Tony and I took a look at in my advice to him with regard to dust is was taking a look at the X. A you will recognize that we're in bar number eight today could be it doesn't have to be because it could be bar number nine can also be bar the bar following nine less. We looked at inside the 30 minute chart for the ES many. It's in with inside those bars eight, nine and we'll call them 10 at this stage here where you really want to be focused and to see if you start to get some type of reversal signal information here. We take a look at the semis. We don't have a we don't have a topping pattern out here. So today is going to be day number six of a TD set up, so it looks like if the semis are going to top it might not be until Friday, Monday, Tuesday. If this pattern remains, it doesn't have to remain out here can go away by having a lower high than a bar four bars early, but I don't want to confuse you. If you'd like to learn that pattern, just simply subscribe to Mastering Probability, even if you do it for 29 days because of the 30 day money back guarantee. The transports. We talked about the transports yesterday. Go back. Listen to the archive. We took a look at it and said, man, look at those transports go, but we said be careful. Why? Because we knew there was a wave number seven letter number G on my system out here. That is a cool tool just as the TD set up nine count when the Dow Jones transports made their high in April. It was with that nine count pattern. Now at prices done with the Dow Jones transports, it has tested support. It's sitting on support right now. Support here happens to be Stevie's green line. That number just so you know is a 10488 33 were 10485 as we speak right now. Closing below that would suggest a further retracement even all way back to where it broke out at 98 21 95. What happens of price closes above it? Well, then you've got that seventh wave move, but you also have a test of the Dow Jones transport. It's also where you would not sell because price may have found support, so it's going to be about the end of day reading inside the Dow Jones transports. But at this moment, it too looks like it has topped one by one by one. He wrote your TFN and you're right.

Thank you for coming in here from Nick. Nick writes in, he says, Hey, Steve Hey, Nick. If you look at the 60 minute chart in the Dow and what Nick is referring to is looking at the 60 minute Dow equity futures contract. So let's go ahead and post that on the screen here. Uh it has been in a range for the last three days. So if the Dow falls below $27,300 before the close, is that a signal to sell the Dow? I'm not sure where the 27 300 number came from. I'll show you where it came from. So what do we know about it? Well, we know that when it bottomed way back here on July the 9th on a 60 minute basis that it was forming that road's momentum indicator bottom. It was also forming a TD set up nine count bottom. You got that confirmation at 7 o'clock in the morning when that bullish engulfing candle formed out there. That's a bullish. It works the exact same way. We look for bearish at the top. We look for bullish at the bottom. Now you'll see my this little tool that I've got here. I'm going to take a look at what's going on right now. It begins to form. But just because it begins to form is not the time you take the trade. Take an example back here is right here at 10 o'clock in the morning on July 11th. That pattern began to form. There was no bearish reversal candle. The cavalry, the responsibility of buyers and sellers is to produce some type of reversal candle. If in fact the market is going to reverse when that pattern completes, same thing took place. Let's fast forward to the high four o'clock in the morning, July 15th. Price is moving higher, doing less relative energy. We know that because my system automatically was drawing that in there. And then Wala five o'clock in the morning because we're looking at a 60 minute chart. You got your bearish reversal signal. So first Nick, here's what we know trading in trading sideways. Yes, but never breaking above the cell signal on a 16 minute timeframe. Now I don't know if you use the 60 minute timeframe for trading sideways. If you do, you then got the cell signal that there's been a change in trend on a 60 minute basis, and that took place at 11 o'clock this morning when price closed below 27 302. Now maybe that's where your 27 300 numbers coming from. I'll just stick with 27 302 because I can use 27 300 when it's 27 302 sitting out right here. So this is already indicated a change in trend from a short term standpoint. That's the short term standpoint. You're going to get a change in trading sideways. You'll get a change in trade the 16 minute. However the real change in trend because the daily chart we took a look at it does not have a topping pattern per se. It does have an A to B equal CD, but no bearish reversal candle yesterday was close, but no cigar price did not exceed the higher the low of the prior bar to give us key reversal session out here. So what we have to go on, Nick is the new profile or potential new profile. I hope that helps you. If you need to see a close below 27 175 using the daily chart to suggest that a change in trend has taken place. So Nick, thanks for writing in. I hope that helps to answer the question. Hope I've been clear to everyone out there with regard to the Dow Equity Futures contract and what it is that we are looking at John and Tiger's Den indicated there's a number of very good stocks here that are starting to grow. So John and Tiger's Den is one of them that he put in there. Let's go take a look at it in S. C. That is a Norfolk Southern moving lower today with volume out here. We take a look at the so the chart John here that stands out to me and taking a look at it is the weekly time frame right now the weekly timeframe just simply because price have been trading with inside that profile structure for the last several months out here. The top of the box, which was hit this week was 207 98. Norfolk Southern close below 187 13. That's the bottom of the weekly profile. There's problems in River City. This also here is a hammer candle. That's the week of June 24. There was enough of a decline for that to be a hammer candle. That low is 8188 even Steven out there. So close below 187 13 which is from a weekly standpoint that there is problems in paradise. Now when I pull over my other weekly time frame chart what we can see on a weekly basis price was moving higher. We already had the first bearish reversal signal June 14th. We got another one right now. So this area here that top of that box weekly box of 207 98 is a real key level of resistance at price John. We to be able to close above that then this would continue moving higher out here. Just do a wave count from the piercing candle on in December out there. So you only in on a weekly base only would be on my chart, but there is your signal. If NSC Norfolk Southern were to fall below close below 187 13 then we would surmise that prices on its way back to 148 28 where it is that price in fact last broke out on a weekly basis and it's just the weekly chart we were looking at because when I put that symbol in and we looked at the market profiles it was the one that just popped up on my visually to say, okay that's up in resistance. What is going on? Is there a pattern that is going on as we take a look at that? So no other questions that we have yet. So let's continue to surf around. What do we want to look at next? What do we want to look at next? That would be helpful to you. Let's take a look at gold having a nice day out here in the case of gold. What do we know about it? So let's take a gold has actually formed a new market profile, but price nonetheless is trading above the top of that daily box out there. Let me expand the chart out for you so you can see now. I don't know what gold is going to look like. Come the end of its trading session out here, but the number to be watching is one 1421 14 21. If price closes at or below that. It was just a countertrend rally with inside this sideways move out here. If it closes above that, well, that becomes interesting. So I pull over the other chart out here. If it closes above that, here's what I would say. So we know that we've got a and you can also see that where price has stopped in essence today is TV's green line. That number. Let me give you that as with the print is as we speak right now. It's 14 24 90. So I'm going to say price has to close about 14 24 90, not just the top of the box out there, but 14 20 Stevie's Green Line in order to say, okay, you know what it's going to do or likely to do even though it's got the same pattern. It's likely to go ahead and make a run for that June 25th high out there. If does that what it probably does is that generates wave number seven. Just like we looked at the transport. So we do in many other the Nasdaq Composer and many of the other issues that are out there. Remember none of that guarantees us. Now that guarantees us that it's going to be a top. Now, if that's the pattern that unfolds out here, I can just go ahead and make a run for that. I'm going to go ahead and make a trigger. A road momentum indicator topping pattern out there. So even though the TD set of nine count might fail, you would then have wave number seven letter G and you would have a road momentum indicator signal. Of course, all that would need some type of bearish reversal candle. But as we speak right now, really all the gold has done is moved up to test a level of resistance. That's Stevie's Green Line. That is a new profile of the industry. They're up by a full point as we speak, so they're having a nice move as well, and they too formed a new profile of which prices trading above that level. Maybe what price is doing is it's targeting about the one 5515 ish type area. That's where Stevie's Green Line. This has got a couple of topping signals as well. Steve Rhodes with TF and that's it.

Welcome back, folks. Dall-off 37, S&P off 7. So nothing, we've got topping signals in several of the indices, but yet nothing has broke. And when I say broke, what I'm referring to is levels of support, key levels of support. Which right now, we're going to use our TAS market profiles for that. Right now, at 1.54 in the afternoon, the signal coming from the EES mini is that price wants to push down to $29.69, or $29.99. Inside the NQ, it's uncertain. It has a barestructured box as long as price closes below $79.24, maybe by about five points or so, then price can move down to $77.94. But we haven't seen that. So the NDX is the one that is, or the NQ, really, that's what we're looking at. But in the NDX, here's another number that you can pay attention to, Stevie's Green Line. This would be a level of support, $79.1394. $79.13, or forget about the cents out there, just use $79.13. If you see it close below that, then that signals that the NDX100 could pull back to $77.35 is last breakout area. And we're really going to be keeping our eye on the bottom of the box for the Dow, $27.75, as well as the top of that box, $27.397. It's a narrow box. It's likely to change. But right now, this is what we've got, and I don't know if it will or it won't change. We'll have a better indication come tomorrow, come mañana. So we're going to be watching those things. We're going to be watching the New York Stock Exchange advance decline line, see if it closes below zero and then tomorrow does it have follow through to the downside. These are the important little nuanced messages that the market is providing for you and I. I don't think we're going to be worrying about the spot volatility just yet for a few days, if the markets are going to continue to move lower. But regardless of timing, let's not worry about timing. Instead, we're going to worry about the numbers. And the number right now is $14.73. The price closes above that. That says we've got some rockin' roll and some rollin' to the downside. So folks, stay tuned. Talk about rock and roll. Hoochie-coo said that. Well, our favorite polar bear, he's up next. He could probably answer that question. Then after that, that's David White after that. Tom O'Brien from three to five. Stevie Perseverance Rhodes. I'll be back with you tomorrow at 1 p.m. So have a wonderful Wednesday. Take care.


The government of St. Lucia has welcomed the mandatory pre-departure testing for all international arrivals to England. The measure comes into effect worldwide on 15 January 2021, including for passengers departing from Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Levis, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. A limited exemption has been granted until 21 January for arrivals from Barbados, Antigua and Barbuda, and St. Lucia to help Britons in those countries return home. More from Daniel Du Bois. Since the opening of St. Lucia's borders on June 4, 2020, St. Lucia has had stringent measures in place for incoming visitors. Among them is a negative PCR test. Prime Minister Hon. Alan Shastney has been a strong advocate regionally and internationally for the adoption of PCR testing before travel and continuously championed the policy as vital to the survival and restoration of confidence in international travel. The Prime Minister's statements were made on the heels of the recent announcement that passengers travelling to England and Scotland by air, sea and rail after 15 January 2021 will be required to present a negative PCR test certificate before they are allowed to travel. Canada also implemented the same policy on January 7, 2021 with some states in the US also following suit. It is welcome news that the United States, Canada and the UK have recently all decided to impose now that all persons coming back to those countries would require a COVID test. At the beginning of COVID, St. Lucia and our technocrat sat down and developed a protocol on how we could coexist with COVID. And one of the things that was very clear to us is that if we were to open up our international borders, it would require a PCR test for persons coming to St. Lucia. And we were also able to create a tourism bubble here on the island to help protect the guests that were coming and as well as being able to protect our citizens. Shortly after the opening of borders in June 2020, the Prime Minister of St. Lucia was featured on several international news networks and newspapers, some of which included CNBC, BBC and the New York Times, where he advocated for airlines and countries to implement pre-testing to help boost consumer confidence in travel and tourism. Causing persons to be pre-tested a certain number appeared before getting on the plate and I think brings confidence back to the tourists themselves, as well as protecting the state. And I also heard the idea of people being pre-tested before they go back in order to not have to do the quarantine. I want to say that St. Lucia supports that policy strongly. We've shown that we have implemented that successfully in this country. We think it's just crazy that the airline industry has not adopted pre-testing as a prerequisite before getting on a plane. St. Lucia has been able to successfully reopen the tourism sector with thousands returning to work and many off-shoot businesses operating once again.

Star Wars hey guys actually a positive review for once I'll admit I can be a little bit of a negative Nancy sometimes but I actually have a very positive review for you guys today and that is about prey I saw this last night I was actually really highly anticipating it between all of the good reviews I'd heard the fact that the director of 10 Cloverfield Lane was coming back which a film that really surprised me in fact I actually have the blue ray on the wall and it was a prequel to a series that I find has never been beat since the first film which is one of my all-time favorite action slash even thriller sci-fi horror movies the predator or predator is S tier movie making the fact that that was John McTiernan's first real big movie and the fact that it has some of the most testosterone oozing super 80s action stars of all time going in taking out a bunch of the rebels and then getting the shit kicked out of them and picked off one by one by the super predator where it turns in from this it goes from being a kind of standard 80s action movie to a flunk and survival horror movie still blows me away to this day so to see the prey going back in time going back to the 1700s and focusing on a Comanche group taking on a predator was really cool for several different reasons one of them being just the focus on the Comanche lifestyle and traditions how she uses a lot of what she's known not only just as a hunter but also in medicine making from her mother and she combines those assets into making her character not a Mary Sue which has been kind of prevalent with a lot of that female action movies in the last while but she actually has the skills we see her develop these skills we see her fail we see her struggle we see her have to learn how to survive not only against the predator but also in the environment itself and then speaking of which the predator I actually really like this predator design it has a little bit of the familiar guba fish look from the predators movie which by the way I also think that movie is a little bit given a little bit more flak than it should be because I think that's a solid movie in itself sorry the camera decided to go a little rogue there but I enjoyed its design because obviously this is 300 years before the arning movie so the technology while similar it's a little bit older but it's still kind of quintessentially forward ahead I like his use of the shield the different weapons and the fact that he just goes on a fucking rampage trying to find the apex predator of the earth like he starts with the snake starts with a wolf then goes up to the fucking grizzly bear where when he cuts it open and all the blood is just pouring on his invisibility and he just gets soaked in the blood it was so brutal which again another little segue the gore in this movie you might think at first is a little bit tame and you're like is this actually an R rated movie there's are just gonna be like kind of barely passable PG-13 then when he kills the bear you're like okay that's good but where where I want a little bit more and it gives you more some of the kills and there's a battle there's a fight scene that happens about halfway through the film that they just got creative they got fucking Tom Savini creative in terms of the gore because there's a few that I actually stopped reroute rewound went back and rewatch them because they were so good they were so creative they were so gory they were so brutal they really fit into what makes a predator this massive killing machine not only for it being just this eight foot tall behemoth but also for its tools its cunningness its willing to kill and all it's just general strategy and that also then takes me back into how she takes on the lead character takes on the predator I do enjoy her struggle or her learning against this creature and the life lessons that she has both a guy as I said against the predator as well as some situations that she falls into herself there's this moment where she falls into this like kind of mud pit and which admittedly I thought was going to be kind of a play back to how Arnie was able to hide himself from the predator by covering himself in clay they don't do that but they have something else that I actually enjoyed that they were able to find us something new but still familiar to the series in terms of how it works and then I enjoy the relationship with her brother and that kind of combination because she's trying to show that she's not just a wife she's not set to do just the woman thinks she wants to be able to show that she's a fighter because obviously there's this kind of loss with her father that's slightly held on and then her motivation is because all of you say I can't do it and that is a good motivation for most people some of that stubborn motivation that just because you're being told you can't do it what like that would motivate you even more so I found all the fight scenes with her and the creature quite good I thought they were all really believable in terms of how this movie was portraying itself with characters and whatnot there is one tiny thing that I have an issue with but I'll talk about that after I do the rating but it is so minor that I feel that it's not really worthy of it if anything there is an actual terms of pacing the beginning of the movie is a little slow there are some moments where she is kind of kind of being stubborn with overly stubborn with people about what she's talking about and also douchebag Rufio is in this movie for those of you who know what I'm talking about the other part of the group of the tribe who's just kind of a prick and he just like an asshole Rufio from hook then I thought he was kind of in but aside from that I enjoyed it and there was something else though that was a little bit strange now they talked about how this film they were talking about actually possibly shooting the whole thing with them speaking Comanche which would have been cool actually I would have liked to have seen that but they did come back and redub all of their dialogue so all the actors came back to do all their lines over so you could listen to it and then have the subtitles for it but there are parts where she speaks Comanche Comanche for as the film is progressing we're hearing English to us but that's them speaking in Comanche to each other and then when we hear French there's no subtitles and that makes sense I'm okay with that it was when she spoke Comanche to herself several times throughout the film there's no subtitles I'm like okay I get I kind of don't get this because I want to know what she's saying like I'd like to know because now I'm just gonna have to Google what she said otherwise pray is a solid solid predator movie it's probably the best one since the original and the only one that I was holding in that regard in terms of second place was Predators because I really do enjoy Predators I think it's a fun not really well it's not really complex which this one doesn't have as like super complexity to it either but it does have character development which is good to see it's got not just from her either there's other characters I get some development in this film I think that it's a solid solid action movie it's got solid thriller elements there's some good gore some good scares some good horror not only with the predator but also the animals there's a certain scene with a bear that really freaked me out I have to say that pray is definitely in my top three for the year so far I think this film exceeded my expectations it did a great service to the predator franchise and I'm actually kind of upset that it wasn't in theaters because I feel it should get a theatrical run it's that good so in the end I'm gonna give pray a six out of seven if you guys are fans of the Predator series highly recommend going to see it or just watching it on your Disney Plus I mean and if you have any other kind of means I would suggest watching it because it is fun it is super fun to watch now that one little conniption I said I had there's a part at the end of the film now I'm gonna say a spoiler bit here so just letting you know when she has the fat French guy like as bait essentially for the predator she's taken the flower so that she wouldn't be seen so then what she does though is just as the predator is about to come up on Frenchy she steps out of his way out of the predator's way but at this point where it just how it's shot it makes it look like she's stepping directly out of his way some of my friends have said that it kind of makes it look like it's her stepping to the side like she's already kind of out of the way but my thought is if he's looking at it he can see fatty and his heat signature but then all of a sudden this big blue blob moves out of his way and he becomes much more visible and this big blue blob is right next to you because while he's like he we know he can't see like he can still like he's not attracted to non heat signature threats he still can see the outline of blues so I thought that part was a little bit like okay hang on here like but that's it that's my only connection I love the fucking predator kills my favorite kill is when he gets the guy up against the tree stump and then he has his shield come out and chops the fucking dude's head off because then during the fight scene she she goes in between those two rocks and the and the shield tries to clamp on her face so good anyways guys that's all for me hope you enjoyed
