Welcome to this session, Four Maps of DevOps by Peter Madison. We are glad that all of you can join us today and Peter also with us. Without further delay, over to you, Peter. Okay, thank you very much. Welcome, and I'm looking forward to running through this little presentation. It's all about finding ways of applying maps to help manage your value streams. And we call this the Four Maps of DevOps. It's based off some practices that have been developing called Flow Engineering. So who am I? I'm Peter Madison. I'm a coach, a consultant founder of a company called Zodiac that helps organizations adopt new ways of working. And I've been many things in my career from an IC to a director running platform engineering to running my own consulting company. So quick rundown of what we're going to be talking about today. We're going to run through this talk map and a quick introduction to the industry was changing while that's looking like. I'm sure you've had a lot of this a day, so I'll run through that quickly. We're going to talk about DevOps and how DevOps helps us make changes into these environments. So we're going to talk about how Four Maps can help you construct a model for this. And we're going to dig a little deeper into how they feed into each other and how they've been applied in the wild. Before we wrap up with some Q&A. So let's run through this introduction. So in a fast paced world customers demand and stratification where we're tied to these these wonderful little black devices which we can then use to collect information to contact people to communicate to use them for all of these different purposes. And we expect to be able to instantaneously get the things that we're looking for at our fingertips. And we've moved from this world where it was very expensive to switch between suppliers. And there was very initial initially high investment and steep learning curve to one where we have technology we could integrate and commoditizing of the general IT capabilities to what we're allowing us to grow and build much more much larger much more complex systems. And with this came a reduction in investment horizon and they are moved away from CAPEX and into OPEX. And now what we're seeing is very much the customer driving the value message the customers driving this and we say cheap to set things up it's very quick to be able to start to get going and build the systems that consume services that we can then do together and as a consequence of this as well customers are have an expectation of a very fast return on investment. There's lots of tools that help with this. And they will help accelerate value delivery, but often our efforts with these fail from a lack of clarity not tools. The organizational structures that we find ourselves in the silos the lack of alignment to a common vision. That's the lack of visibility into what's going on across the organization gets in the way of us really truly getting the value from these tools that we implement to improve our value delivery. So, that's the introduction it's all about value delivery and how the world is changing and how we need to help find ways to help accelerate this in our environments. Let's talk about DevOps so DevOps is all about people processing tools working together to enable rapid and continuous delivery of value to customers this really aligns well with our value delivery. And that's the message but we find organizations focus so much on the tools and bringing the tools into place that they forget that they also need to change the processes and quite often forget that really we should have started people what is it the people need how are we going to actually work together to really bring value to the table. These change requires us to be able to understand what's going to happen in the environment we see this as an awful lot of risk, it's, it can be threatening to us when we start to introduce these changes, and that we're going to modify how the organization is operating. What is the impact. Is this something we can do if I, if I start to make everything different. What's that mean for me. We have these models that DevOps very helpfully provides us the, there's three ways and five ideals that Gene Kim popularized in his books Unicorn project and the Phoenix project. And these, these give us models that we can use and to help understand and start to break down some of these complex problems and use and apply DevOps to them. So the three ways being first way is like make the system visible, see what's happening by and by doing that as we start to measure we can start to understand and improve it to creating feedback loops understanding through monitoring and looking at what happens when we make these changes, so that we can understand how that we can change the system as consequence of that to then continually iterating as being the third way. And this also feeds into the five ideals making sure that we're retreating this locally in as simple way as possible and looking at how we can then have more focus and flow and joy in the work that we're doing, and then continually improving aligning very well to the third way without the ideal to continually improving that but to do all of this we need that in prime to psychological safety, and ensuring that we're focusing on what our customers need. So, when we think of DevOps we think of things in terms of these pipelines and if we think of it, not just in terms of the tooling and the automation, think about, what is the end to end stream value that we create what is the end to end pipeline that is the end to that so if we have customers that provide us requirements and channels forums folks with social media and we might put together a delivery team that delivery team might consider stuff somebody who owns the product that's going to be delivered and they might have a bunch of team members are going to collaborate with them and together they're going to work out how do we do this and the together they'll come up with a set of stories and prioritize what needs to happen. They'll they'll break these down into smaller pieces they'll pick them highest priority the biggest business value and they will break the standard smaller pieces, and they'll start to work and then they'll turn into code into application code and test code and infrastructure code. We'll then have our CI tooling pull out things into an automated pipeline which will automate build the test deploy of it, so we can push out a product that we can give to the customers. But for then we need our feedback we need the monitoring the logging the test results, which can come back delivery team and the customers so that we can say, Okay, what. How did you feel about this was this what you were looking for, as we start to then work on iteratively and incrementally delivering more more value. And we can then measure to start to understand how we can possibly improve on this what can we do to help make this go smoother and better and faster, so we're really delivering value. And as we introduce all of these new paradigms these new ways of working this new knowledge. We've also to ensure that we're still meeting all of the existing commitments in the organization. And this often ends up with us ignoring the changes that comes into them complaining like, I don't want to do this this isn't going to impact me if you change the way that I do things everything's going to go horribly bad to please don't do this to to sulking about. Well, now you've done it everything's going to break you've made changes and it's not going to work to finally accepting it. And our role is change agents and our role as with DevOps is to try and help drive this change adoption curve down so that we can have a the impact that we're looking for, while still allowing people to be able to come together and actually understand and not be so impacted by the change that we're unable to move forward. That's that's about the introduction about value delivery about how the world is moving to this value delivery model to the how DevOps gives us models and ways of looking at changing that but how the introduction of these new practices these new ways of working creates a lot of change and bad in itself is something that it's difficult for people to deal with so we need, we need to further ways of helping us be able to make this down and this is where for maps comes in. If we have our three ways and our five ideals, the four maps can be considered as a way of getting us from one to the other to help to bring out from the these principles and these ideas, the concrete steps that we can undertake in order to start to get going like to start to say okay well if I if I want to create that because what do I need to actually do what does that that look like and what are the steps I might want to take to do it. The core of flow engineering of these four maps, the, the four key maps to find the direction aligns stakeholder perspectives and guide our decisions as we move through the process so we've got outcome mapping which helps us define and clarify our outcomes. We have value stream mapping which helps us identify and address flow constraints. We have dependency mapping which helps us visualize and address the external needs of the system. And we have capability mapping which helps us measure and address all of the internal needs like what do we need to actually make these things happen. We've. So flow engineering starts with the outcome, begin with the end in mind. We, we want to ensure that we're focusing on the outcomes and creating that clarity of vision by working to team we want to create our alignment first so that we can start to understand what is the outcome we want why other reasons we want to get there what are the obstacles that we might need to overcome and what can we do to overcome those obstacles, and we can then help find those that and that in itself will provide us with a path forward that we have we now end up with a backlog of impediments that and those impediments are a path those are on that that is what we need to do to move forward. Move on and use that to guide us in finding more friction with value stream mapping looking at where in our system might there be friction to value stream mapping providing a time diagnostic at the end to end system. In this particular example with this this company we were working through and then the top part of the board we very quickly realized there was actually a sub value stream nested value stream inside of the larger one which needed to also be mapped and so we started to build that out and understand what actually happens in order for the overall end to end system to work. When we look at outside of the system at dependency mapping want to look at what things are also impacting other regulations or compliance that we need to ensure that the system is inviting to other other things inside of our organization that we need to make sure are satisfied. Other technical dependencies that we need to ensure that we take care of and understanding and mapping those stakeholders is critical to looking at that end to end system. We also need to understand and look at capabilities so if we understand what the outcomes we want to we can start to break down and look at well what capabilities do we need in order to achieve those outcomes. And that will in turn give us the ability to build out the right capabilities to take the right courses bring the right skills to the table to help us reach the outcomes that we're looking for. So we talked to value delivery how the world is changing as a consequence of that we've we've talked about how DevOps gives us models to help us accelerate our value delivery practices, but how that also introduces a lot of change. We talked about how the formats can help us quantify and what it is that we need to do. And we'll now we're going to dig a little deeper into how these maps are interrelated and provide some examples. So, so in terms of order and context if we if we run through this we're going to start with discovery we're going to look at what is the situation what is the situational awareness that we have of where we are today. And so that we can start to design where we want is we want to go, because we have to understand that baseline we have to be able to quantify where we are as a baseline in order to be able to actually start to create measures of where it is we're going to go. We can't just say what we want to be faster faster isn't going to be enough like how much faster what is faster than to mean faster might mean different things different people. We need to come up with more concrete quantifications of of where we want to go to so that we can actually start to engineer our solutions around that. And we start with our outcome mapping start with what are those outcomes that we want. And if we start to break those down, what are the more short term outcomes or the outcomes we can achieve faster than the and which ones are more aspirational in nature. And that in turn will create a map of those outcomes. We will also look at value stream mapping so that we can now look at the time diagnostic like where are the bottlenecks in the system where are the problems we can start to apply a look at how we might apply lean practices over the top of the actual delivery system and that in turn will also provide a map of opportunities where we can look at improving. And then we'll look at dependencies other other things outside of the value stream that will will impact our ability to achieve those outcomes of the other things that we need to be aware of other stakeholders that will have to contribute to what we need to create. We'll look at that as create our external map dependencies on the system and look at capability maps so the, what are the capabilities we need in order to achieve these outcomes and that in turn will create our map of systems and skills and capabilities that we're going to need in order to in order to be able to create our overall view of this and these of course are four maps that we've been talking about. In turn, these outcome map will feed off our other maps so the outcome map will inform us of our aspirations treats, creating a clarity of purpose. The friction map will improve our external maps around knowing our outcomes delivery flow and forms where we have our gaps excel map will help us say now we can look at what resources we need and identify the gaps. All of this then gives us a number of things which we can prioritize a number of activities that we can start to look at prioritizing we could standardize them and build out a prioritization and use that as our flow roadmap or a model for like where do we want to go what do we want to tackle first what are the first sets of outcomes you want to target and what is it that we need in order to be able to achieve this. This in turn. So here's an example of how we've gone about playing this so we working with a very extracted high level view. Working with a company to help them understand in a very complex delivery system where they're delivering software into into other companies and how do they like improve the customer employee satisfaction they want to also move into the North American market and they're looking at how do we achieve these these these outcomes we've got targets and goals and what we're looking to do but we can see that our. Our systems are working quite the way we want to so from there we use that to guide. Our conversations around looking at the value stream like how do we actually do delivery today how long do each of these steps take how much time do we spend waiting how much rework is there in the system. What are what are perhaps some experiments we could run to introduce changes into that system that might allow us to be able to deliver faster and have better feedback. We look at dependencies and dependencies from all of the different parties that needed to be involved across this complex system, and ensuring that we understood how each of those needed to interact and looking for opportunities where we could simplify the or those or decouple those dependencies to allow the delivery system to flow more smoothly. Then also look to capabilities like what are the capabilities that they don't have that they need in order to be able to enable these outcomes and how can we bring those to the table, what things do we need to do. And through going through this process and creating that prioritization and then taking being to take those actions we immediately started to see the improvements in the system. This immediately allows us to start to look at how we do things we we pointed out. We could very easily have the environment creation time by lining up the DevOps resources, removing the ticketing pieces that was going on there's a lot of handoffs going on in the environment creation piece that didn't need to happen. And so those activities like that that we undertook and could demonstrate the immediate benefits of being able to get environments up and running faster which allowed them to start with their experiments faster which allowed them to deliver quicker, which is a great benefit. So then how do we scale this so if we think that we have we have value streams running across the organization and in those value streams will have a number of different products which will probably be contributing to them. So as we look at the end to end value streams the the stream of work that is creating value for our customers. We will have products in there and those products will come and go so we need a way of being able to understand and manage this and as we start to scale across the organization. The effective way to do this is to build this flow enablement team. So, as we start to provide guidance on the introduction new practices they'll start with coaching development and application of these flow engineering practices and they'll help build these within the organization. So these ways of working or flow enablement teams can be a very effective way to help with being able to move these things forward. My telegram is buzzing like crazy. The another important piece now is great hey I'm convinced. So flow engineering in the wild you can find out more at zodiacs website my company's website and visible.is who's a good friend of mine and see prayer that I collaborate with on the flow engineering models. And him and another guy who's part of our community called Andrew Davis have a book coming out soon. You can join our community at flow collective.org. This is a great place to come and discuss all things flow. We set it up because we were finding that just the conversations agile there was didn't go it's deep as we'd like into some of the topics we wanted to discuss is a great place to come and share ideas and talk about everything around value, value delivery leadership, and how you introduce change into organizations and it's a great forum for that agenda shift is another part of my brother's work I really like and appreciate that and some great ideas over there and the, the bvsh movement that I also partner with on initiatives to help introduce and bring a lot of these ideas to the forefront and help organization to top them. So with that, by way of wrap up and q&a we've run through quite a lot sounds like a lot of work. But a lot of it boils down to this is like start with the outcomes not solutions. I often like to explain this when I'm consulting as using the nine step solution selling model is that there's nine steps in solution selling and if what we find is that as technology we often end up starting at step seven which is with the having the solution in mind, we skip the first six. So going back and looking at like what is the thing we're actually trying to solve for properly defining the problem is critical, and going back and working through that process. Before we get to the point of saying hey I've got a solution let's just execute let's go automate let's go faster faster faster taking the time to do that planning pieces essential. And I find organizations often don't spend enough time on that in the rush to adopt new ways of working and don't understand the value that comes from the planning process, not necessarily trying to abide by a static plan, we'll get to that. While the ocean starts more plan for incremental changes into the environment. mapping exercises don't have to take a long time, you don't have to plan for months and months and months and years you want to plan for four to six months out you want to, you want to be able to execute these mapping exercises frequently and be able to do them in a few hours. The value is in the mapping, not the map, the value is in coming together collaborating having the discussion building out this common understanding of what things look like, not in the the resulting map that may come out of that. That's everything about the formats of DevOps in 20 minutes. And if you would like to take survey there's one question to be answered. And if you want to grab the link there or take the QR code then that's. I'm happy to send you some material and connect with me and I'm happy to share more information about how flow engineering works and how it can help you. Okay, thank you very much. Thanks Peter for sharing your experience with us today. Thanks very much. Thanks Peter.


As we cool our sample of t-butyl alcohol, we slow down the molecules, the molecules lose kinetic energy. As we approach the freezing point of the t-butanol, the molecules move at a slower and slower speed. Eventually the molecules move at such a slow speed that they start to attract each other and convert into the solid. The temperature falls until we reach the freezing point. The temperature will then level off at the freezing point until the sample is completely solidified.


Hello, hello, hello, I'm Philip Magnus and you actually probably heard that already. Anyway, I had a tiny, tiny bit of an issue with recording and I didn't realise until it was too late, so I naturally got back to my checkpoint. Problem is, the checkpoint is a tiny bit further down the line than the video goes. Apologies for that. You haven't missed much. I met a guy called the Illusive Man, who is this ultra, let's just call him, he's got some dangerous ideas when it comes to humanity's place in the galaxy. He's a bit of a radical, yeah, that's the word, and turns out that Doctor ever works for him. So as you might imagine, not too pleased about that, not one bit. At any rate, I'm thinking of stopping him. But first, I'm going to stop Cyborg, or rather some sort of an evil robot of unknown origins. Before that I'm just slightly levelling up my characters as a way of using the time it took to explain all of this. Now I think it's time to get back to it, eh? Anyway, robot shooting, go. Oh my, see, good job me. I got that robot back. Anyway, basically when we got to the Protein Artifact, which was supposed to have all this useful information for us, turns out, surprise, surprise, it really didn't. Someone in the base was channeling it off, trying to physically transfer it basically to the consciousness of this here robot and delete it from the Protein Beacon. As you might imagine, I put a stop to that, as soon as I found the robot. Then we had a chase scene, which ultimately ended with what you just saw. Now we are back in my ship, which is an awesome ship, a beautiful ship. We're going to make the Mexicans pay for it too. Ah poor Caden, Caden. Caden needs medical attention. We have to leave the soul system. We will, immediately. The Citadel is our best chance. We can find help there. Get us to the Citadel, Joker. Run to that. Hold on, Caden. Hmm, strange. My... What do you seem to have some issues? Anyway, the Citadel. Touch me through. Can you clear this up? I'll do my best. Did you get to the log of the dives? I was there. So was the elusive man. I was worried Cerberus might try something. Did you get the data? Most of it. He downloaded some before I could stop him. Edy and Leora were all well recovered. Was it worth the effort? Preliminary evidence is the data as a blueprint for a Prothian device. Device? The Reapers will learn to fear this device. So it will take over quantifiable levels of destruction. Unquantifiable levels of destruction? Well ain't that exciting? If Leora's instincts are right, this might be the key to stopping the Reapers. I hope so. Major Alenko was critically injured. We're taking him to the Citadel. Sorry to hear that, Shevard. But we both know this is just the beginning. Talk to the council, show them what you've found. With luck, they'll give you all the support we need. And if they don't? Do whatever it takes to get them on board. Aye aye, Commander. Admiral, sir. I'm the commander. What? Haha. Ah, it's an exciting time to be a commander. The media is extracting data from the Cerberus machine. We'll have details to present to the council by the time we reach the Citadel. And Major Alenko? And ain't that exciting? I've done what I can for him. Oh, who cares about him? I'm going to the medical facility soon. No one does who. Admiral's right. It's going to get worse, isn't it? Unless we stop the Reapers here. What is it about gigantic AI robots that makes everyone make them out to be the bad guys? You didn't see what they did to Earth. How is one weapon supposed to stop them? What are our options? You know we can't win this conventionally. Can we?  Yeah, that's not going to work. Oh, fine. But that was just because you have rest-treated nicely, my lady. No, that was sexist. I'm so sorry. I'm kidding, of course. I'm sorry. I'm incapable of not getting about serious, deep topics. And this is the Citadel. Basically, it's a fully-rebitized space station, which has all kinds of races all around. It's really pretty and quite nice. And it's a different beacon, which is supposed to summon the Reapers every 50,000 years. That was basically the plot of Mass Effect 1. You had to stop it from activating. And there's a rather unpleasant agent called Snow. Oh, god, I've forgotten his name. Barely got a pulse here. Where are you taking him? Where to Memorial? Best care in the Citadel. Saris? We're not going to finish. We need to see the council. Damn it. Right. Names. Oh, hello. You look like a serious person who might be in charge. They always do. God, worried you were arriving. Oh, I know his voice. This guy, he played in Battlestar Galactica. I think in Teen Wolf as well, surprisingly enough. He's his old, bold badass.  I'm very specific, boys. None taken. Problems. Sure. Nope. I think I'm going to go to the council first. You see, I'm trying to save her to know. Meeting with the council is our top priority. I'll head up to Adina's office now. Meet you there. One of my men can show you the way. Love it. I'm just a tourist today. I'll try not to get in any trouble. Bye, James. I guess he's... Earthborn? I'll be right there. The other half of my job. I'll see you around, Shepherd. No doubt. No, yes. Cannot wait. Oh, look. Ooh. Anything to press, anything to explore. Nope. So far, so far. Ooh. Hello. What's going on here? Oh, it's Jessica. Choppit? Was it...? I think we can help each other. The actress, I mean. I suppose you want an interview. Even better. I'm a military reporter with a show called Battle Space. We're carried on just about all council planets. The actress wants to be embedded on the ship. And I want that ship to be the Normandy. Why would I want that? Wars can be won or lost in the editing room. And this war needs to be won. I've got alliance security clearance and operate without a crew. You get veto power over the segments I file. Do you have an arrangement like that? Or do I keep looking? Tell your producers yes for now. We'll see how it works out. Report to the ship as soon as possible. Any questions? How much gear can I bring? One for the locker. Hi, commander. I was going to go with all the gear in the world, but obviously I have a difference of opinions with myself. Am I? There's nothing weird going on. I swear it's as if I disabled the music, which I have not. All right. Good to know, good to know. Ah, better. Much better. Hello, commander Sheppard. Welcome to the city. Hello, Avina. Do I know you? I am Avina, a fully interactive virtual intelligence. Hmm, you don't say. Yes, I provide guidance at predetermined locations of interest throughout the citadel. This is docking bay D24. Note that due to recent events, official identification and weapons permits may be requested by CSAC personnel for routine verification. Of course they may. See, this kind of stuff changing AI for VI is why AI are getting old about person while they're trying to destroy us. If they were just being treated better, things would have been much, much different. Any other important areas I should know about? Docking Bay E24 has been repurposed into temporary housing to accommodate the recent influx of civilians to the citadel. You don't say. If you wish to contact your species official citadel representative, please go to citadel embassies. For medical needs, the Presidium offers leading edge care at the Huerta Memorial Hospital. Oh, that's nice. It has been a cultural mainstay since the council was first established at the citadel. Thank you, Avener. Please speak with me again if you require further assistance. Will do. Now I think it would be good for me to keep going. All right. Let's see. Welcome, Commander Shepard. Please select the destination. One moment, please. Definitely going to the citadel embassies. Oh, is that the music I hear in the background at long last? Commander Bailey. I don't need to see Commander Bailey, do I? That's Councilor. Excellent. Commander, Councilor Udina said you'd be coming. If you'll follow me, the council is already in session. Excellent. Councilor, the reapers are in our space as well. Earth is no more or less important than any council homeworld. But Earth was the first council world hit. By all reports, it faces the brunt of the attack. How do you know this is the brunt? New Reaper fronts are opening up everywhere. How do we know? Earth was attacked, a full-scale invasion. Commander Shepard. And it's just the beginning. We need your help. Everything you can spare. Earth may be suffering, but our worlds are falling, too. The Turians have lost Tetris. We must fight this enemy together. Agreed. And what if that's not enough this time? Am I? Actually. The reports are dire. If we throw everything we have, we'll have to find the police. I don't expect you to follow me without a plan. Counselors, we have that plan, a blueprint created by the Prothians during their war with the Reapers. Prothian, what is it exactly? We're still freezing it together. But it appears to be a weapon of some sort. And this is capable of destroying the Reapers? So it would seem. I must be suffering from some bug. It's an intricate. This is a fool's errand. The Prothians were wiped out by the Reapers. Clearly, the weapon is flawed. It was incomplete. They were missing the component here. Something referred to only as the catalyst. But they ran out of time before they could finish building it. Do you believe in this, Shefford? After what you've seen of the Reapers? Do you have a better plan?  And Udena's right. We need to stand together now more than ever. The Reapers won't stop at Earth. They'll destroy every organic being in the galaxy if we don't find a way to stop them.   All planets must come first. The Solarian Union is convening a summit amongst our species. If we can secure our own borders, we may be able to aid you. Our fleets are also engaged. Honesty is all I can offer, Commander. I will not make a promise of rescue that I cannot keep. I understand. Shefford, meet me in my office. I hope that's an offer of support. I'll be digging up what I can on this Prothian device, Sheppard.  Jeez. Ah, music, by the way. But humanity will always be considered second rate. Now, now, they are being attacked as well. I can't give you what you're asking for, but I can tell you how to get it. I'm listening. That's nice of you. The Solarian is the one that called the war summit. He's your kind of man, open to extreme solutions. Trouble is, he didn't get out of Paladin's system when the Reapers attacked him. We don't know if he's alive. Guess I know what's my first stop is. The moment he could extract him without being detected. Ha ha. You can, visitors. So favors with favors.  But, bluntly, yes. I shouldn't even be telling you about it. But we need Fadorian alive, and your ship can get him. Save the Primarch, gain an ally. One with the power to grant you what you're looking for. Well, the Reapers ravage Earth. Your counselor was right. We need to work together. This is the best way to get that. Our intel says our Fadorian is one of his most intelligent, get in, and out of time detected, and he'll take care of it. Good luck, commander. You're going to need it. Good, good. Someone realizes I need luck? Oh, no. The council has agreed to reinstate your specter status. Reinstate? And there are certain resources that will be made available to you. Good luck. Wow. That went well. It's a start. I'll talk to the others in the meantime. See if we can support this summit, move things along. Thanks. Support the moods, what basically all our military is right now being decimated on Earth. Anything else you got for me, Dina? The council. All I can think is that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Oh, I'm angry. I've always loathed that phrase, fatalism, not what men and women should aspire to. Not at all. Maybe later we'll be an epitaph on a mass grave of 11 billion. That's how few there are of us. Humanity is as feared as we are loved. Hopefully that works in our favor now. I'll try to get financial aid from as many worlds as I can. Maybe manpower, a few armed ships. We have no need of a few armed ships. Order all civilian ships armed. Work on the Prothian device will be around the clock. All right. You actually have a plan. Personal situation. Yeah, sure. Let's chat with good old Dina about his personal situation. Do you know a lot of people on Earth? Many. It's monstrous to think of them being snuffed out, of course. But the part that gets me is Arcturus. I must know. I must have known most of the Alliance Parliament on a first name basis. Arcturus? Minks? I used to track all their birthdays and anniversaries. Rose Garden stuff, but to have it all gone. Not necessarily all of it. You know, the good old admirals. There's a hill, Chancellor, that you have options when the others block the banquets. With Parliament destroyed and justry gone, I have more power than any human in history. But today, you saw how little that is. Rest assured, I will not be counted out long. I know I can move mountains. Do not lose sight of that, because the task before us is moving planets. So reassuring to see that your arrogance is still intact. And I do get some results, Chancellor Dewey. I helped you into this office because I thought you'd be effective. You need a character, a stick to drive a mule, and humanity has neither right now. And we're not driving mules, but aliens. Ambu is gone. Our economy is reduced to an IOU. But leave that part to me. I will lean on our colonies for all their worth. And I can broker enough trade to repair and resupply Hackett's fleet. Honestly, I have no idea how Hackett's fleet hasn't been decimated in the first five hours of this conflict. What's your read on the counselors? Any angles I could pursue? Counselor, it is. I love how pretty my eyes are. If she is colder, if she has her hand on your throat, she will squeeze a shield. There you might find some traction. Practical, she might make back your belly turned into a piece of Delatras for you. Frankly, it's good Quentia spoke with you. His home world is in the most trouble, and he's looking for a way out. That speaks opportunity. I find the fact that deterrents are the ones who are in the most trouble to be worrisome. Any news from Earth? There is constant news, all of it bad. The Reapers are destroying satellites in the old nuclear missile silos, along with everything else.  All other communication is cut. Quantum entanglers? This sounds interesting, to say the least. Very interesting. Nope, can't press this computer. So by all means, let's get back. Where am I going, actually? Embassy offices. James. Don't need to speak with Commander Bailey. Probably. There is no anti-humanity conspiracy here, Ms. Algilani. The council's simply not granting interviews at this time. My viewers are going to know that CSEC and the council are denying them access. Oh, no. Listen, lady, you think the light- Didn't I punch you in the mouth once? Between the paparazzi and the politicians? I don't have time to babysit them.  Well, I'm camping out until I'm granted an audience. Fine. I hope you brought a sleeping bag.  Commander Shepard? Commander, humanity has questions. And they all will be answered eventually, someday, if we save humanity. Yeah, I feel like a glorified doorman. Most people would see it as a move up. Washed in here with all the stuffed shirts. I'd rather be back down on the streets. I appreciate the higher pay grade, but I'm not a political creature. Politicians are the weeds of the galaxy. If that was a bumper sticker, I'd stick it right here on my desk. I'm sure Dina would appreciate it. You and me both. I haven't been back in years. Now I may never.  Well, I'm so glad we had this amazing chat. I feel so much better now. Excuse me while I go.  Oh, there he is. Commander, the people of the Alliance have questions. Commander Shepard, police have been seen in Al-Jalani. Isn't it true that you were on Earth when the Reapers attacked? It is. How do you justify running away while millions of people on Earth die? Is that the best we can expect? I've had enough of your tabloid journalism. You want some? Ah, this feels so good. But I came here to get help for Earth. Don't answer your questions. Stay down. I knew it was her, my favorite punching bag in the entire Citadel. Hey, Commander, Liara told me the Council's not interested in helping us. Something like that? No, never is. We are humans. Look at this place. There's no war here. They've been whispering about it. They're talking about it. But they don't really believe it. I'll take it this is your first time here with me. Don't be so negative. I've been to the Citadel never up here on the Presidium. It's not right. It looks pretty calm and peaceful. But it's not right. It's all just an illusion. It was peaceful once. But was it? Really? I mean, when push comes to shove, they're just going to turtle up. Hope it don't hit them too, right? They'd rather believe in this than face the truth. Oh, they will. They will. Every species will fall one by one if they don't work with us. I'm a tough badass. I don't believe it's even up for the faith. So you still want to go back to Earth? Hell yeah, but you were right. So was Anderson. We can't stop them alone. Besides, it looks like you're going to have your hands full convincing these Pendejo politicians to help us. Yeah, call them names. Now it's going to help. Oops. Let's see. Sure, let's go and check up on Caden. You seem like someone I could speak with. Nope. All right. I'll see if we have the required spatial bindings. Meet you back here. Hi, doctor. Didn't expect to see you again so soon. Well, we need to prescribe you another round of antibiotics. Am I not? Ah, here you are. You don't look too good, soldier. Hey, Caden. Oh, no. But since you can't tell me to get the hell out of here. This music, it is telling me that I must be having an emotional moment right now. Yeah, that's a bit tough.  Hell of a soldier. Seem. That's right. Yeah. We all need some cannon fodder, don't we? I'm not seeing any fighting going on. That's an order. Disposed we're trying to give him orders. I'm sure he will feel much better once he wakes up. Ah. You're here? I'm working at an alliance R&D lab down in Shout Awards. Coordinating closely with Admiral Hackett. I heard you escaped Earth in the Normandy and that someone was critically injured. I came as fast as I could. The doctor you see is, um, my field officer. Medic. My field medic. Well, field, more like ship. As well as Dr. Michelle's expertise. I wish I could have been there to help on Mars. Spent six months, doctor. Have you been? Good. I've been fortunate. When they impounded Normandy, the alliance didn't really know what to do with me. I was never officially part of Cerberus and I'd gotten a proper leave of absence from my previous post. So you hadn't technically done anything wrong by joining me to defeat the collectors. Yes, though I suppose if you were judged to be a war criminal I would have been tried as an accessory. That's logical, yeah. Let's see if you would like to join back in the old lady. Your place is in Normandy's med bay, not some lab. I couldn't agree more. You say the word and I'm with you. Welcome aboard. It wouldn't be the same without you, doctor. Get your thanks. Docking Bay D-24. Yes, commander. And thank you. Yes, I feel like this is a personal victory. Joker's still aboard. And I'd be surprised if he's been remembering his medication. Joker is a pilot for the record. We'll be seeing him very soon. Let's see. Doctor Michelle or Mitchell. I do not want to speak with you. You're going to give me some information on... Shall I go to the civil embassies once again just to check if Liaro is somewhere around? Nope. All right. I am going to go. Time to go to the Normandy, eh? I don't believe it's time we got moving. Until then, however, thank you guys for watching. I am looking forward to seeing you next time. Bye.


What do you think allowed you to be effective in the first three innings in particular? What do you think gave you the opportunity to be effective in the first three innings? What was working for you today? Attacking the zone, making the first three innings. I think it's important to set up the strikers. I can work with my strikers. And I think that was one of the good factors of the first three innings. Getting ahead, attacking the zone, it's important to get ahead in the count. It gives you a better chance to execute the plan that you have in mind. So I think that was the key, the first couple innings. Ran into a little bit of trouble there in that fourth with the walks. Why do you think you were maybe just a little bit off on the mound that inning? And as you know, in the fourth inning I put you in a little bit of trouble. You walked several batters that happened in that inning. I lost a little bit of the zone, I had a little bit of control in the last inning. But I battled, I could keep the game going. And I think I'll battle something good and keep working. But I was able to battle, you know, and I feel good about that. Buckling down and battling that inning and giving my team a chance, you know, holding the score there where it was, you know, felt good about that. First start of the season at this level, were there any added emotions, jitters coming into it? First start of this season. Did you feel a little nervous? Did you feel normal? How did you feel? Was your preparation normal? Well, I felt normal, the same preparation. I was always in the same, normal, concentrated, in throwing, from pitch to pitch, and always normal. Thank God, nothing nervous, no anxiety, no calm. I'm not nervous, you know, I felt normal out there. I had a regular routine and, you know, yeah, thank God everything, everything went the way I expected. Felt good.


After the Civil War, Fairfax County, Virginia became more populated, and eventually an insane asylum was built there. There were protests, and it wasn't long before the asylum was shut down. The administration transferred the patients in 1904 to a new building, but during the transfer, some of the patients escaped and hid in the surrounding woods and forestry. These individuals were lost, delusional, and dangerous. Most of them were found, except Marcus, Loster, and Douglas Griffin. But it wasn't long before the local authorities found a trail made by the two men. It was littered with half-eaten, mutilated bunnies. The trail led deep into the woods to a tunnel crossing a wide creek. There, they found Marcus hanging from the tunnel entrance, with a note attached to his foot. It read, You'll never find me no matter how hard you try. Signed, The Bunnyman. That tunnel has been called Bunnyman Bridge ever since. The legend says that if you walk all the way down to the tunnel and around midnight, the Bunnyman will grab you and hang you from the entrance of the bridge. Strange deaths and phenomena have constantly been connected with the Bunnyman Bridge. There was a young man from Clifton, Virginia, who came across the bridge while traveling. Later, he killed his parents and dragged their bodies into the woods to hang them from the bridge, before killing himself. In 1943, three teenagers were found dead, hung from the bridge. Their bodies were slashed open and all had notes attached to their feet. Their notes stated, You'll never catch the Bunnyman. In 2001, after hearing the tale, six local students in a guide searched the area, only to find mutilated bunnies during their search. They soon left the forest after they heard noises and caught glimpses of a figure in the woods.


Twitter may be on band in Nigeria soon, going by a recent disclosure by Information Minister Laidmohamed. The minister says the medium has agreed to seven of 10 demands made by the federal government. Speaking in Washington, D.C., the minister pointed out that Twitter's operations were not suspended because of the deletion of President Mahmoud Abouyari's posts. He attributes it to other factors, such as the use of the platform to raise money for last year's N-SARS protests. We know the minister is confident that both parties are getting closer to an agreement.

I think it's a bit too all over the place But a design I do like coming from hot topic recently is this brand new hoodie It's got the main gang on the front with five nights at Freddy's going around them pizza slices on one sleeve Freddy fazbear's pizza on the other and now let's quickly move on to pillow pet because well We don't have an actual update on when their Freddy fazbear pillow pet is releasing They did show it off in a brand new tiktok getting some all-over panning shots of him showing off his final design And hopefully this guy comes out pretty soon because he looks adorable and I need him right now before we continue on to you too So let's first talk about a brand new description. We got four tails from the pizza plex number six nexie Can you keep a secret astrid doesn't tell anyone about the strange things her buddy? Tronic doll has been up to car convinces a pizza plex employee No one will know if he lets her spend a little more time in the VR attraction in a fazbear Entertainment engineer's custom project has surprises in store for anyone who encounters it But in the world of finnaf secrets never stay hidden for long That is the description for an upcoming tales from the pizza plex book number six. That's crazy We're already getting six confirmed books only three have been out But I'd love to know what your thoughts on the story is how do you feel about nexie as a character?

I wouldn't bite into that cake just yet Freddy It looks like he got some unnecessary toppings there and now I move on to yet another weekly update from Kane Carter about the Pop-Go series. He says hi everyone this week the team and I have mostly been preparing a new interactive build for Daco to open and share on his upcoming charity stream in about a week, but for us That's actually tomorrow. So I'll be sharing a bit about that, but not much else It's been a bit quiet otherwise. So what are we going to give Daco to show off? Well, I'll tell you the types of content But none of the actual reveals of course and he attaches a picture of four different reveals We're going to see on the stream a new phone unlock for $4,000 new merchandise reveal for eight a trading card surprise at 12,000 and finally for $16,000 a full 360-degree showcase of the Freddy's he says the phone is one with a unique body and for the merch He says yes We've actually had permission to officially announce and reveal a new pop-go's product coming in 2023 Unfortunately, it's very unlikely that we'll be able to have actual photos prepared in time for this event But I've made some mock-ups that the company is very happy with me sharing It'll get the idea across just fine with the trading card surprise Kane says all I'll say is that you'll see Amiel's amazing trading card click team shader again in this section lastly something I can share more casually a full showcase of all three Freddy models in evergreen will be shown off at $16,000 that means Toy Freddy false Freddy and his awkward middle stage And he also attaches a photo of the Toy Freddy accuracy model And it looks like below him you can see the three dots that we're going to use to change which version of Toy Freddy We're gonna be looking at in this Freddy showcase You'll get a full 360 view of all three models and docker will also be able to click and drag the models to spin them around Whether this is a feature that'll actually be an evergreen like in the extras or something I have no idea probably not considering how much data all of these images take up already And now let's move right along to some brand new u2's news first up their brand new wave is now officially out The new wave contains golden Freddy springtrap purple guy and the purple guy sprite figures They also have shoulder plushies of Freddy Vanny and the cupcake as for a brand new u2's news However first up they say they're gonna be walking on some prints for each game Also showing off a sneak peek of the FNAF one print if you're waiting on glam rock doco figure news Don't worry It seems like we're gonna get that on his charity stream And he also reveals that the next wave will be launching around March of next year with Vanny version 2 And then a merchandise I was not at all expecting we would ever get an official u2's Sun Nightlight this thing looks amazing though. Of course very strange seems like u2's just goes weirder and weirder with their new FNAF products I like it though I think it could look interesting though I do hope we get a moon variant even though he's not a fan of lights as I'm sure we all know and I will include this message Though I'm not sure if Austin from u2's was just joking here But someone asked about a teaser for the mango figure Austin are applying it maybe on New Year's Eve though Guess what we're not done with u2's just yet because they actually showed off the official concept art for their upcoming burn trap figure in my opinion I think they absolutely nailed this guy. It's got so so so many details on them That just looks absolutely amazing Can't wait to see what the figure actually looks like and they also do confirm once again I believe they said it in the past, but a withered collection is coming and finally the news You've been waiting all video for the reason you clicked on this video in the first place our first official Look at the casting for a Blumhouse's upcoming FNAF film because earlier today deadline Exclusively revealed that Matthew Lillard and Josh Hutcherson have been casted in the FNAF film They say the characters they are playing are not yet specified and that production on the film is set to begin in February in New Orleans, which we did already know about what Matthew Lillard and Josh Hutcherson are such amazing picks You might recognize Matthew as one of the killers in the original screen film and also shaggy in the live-action Scooby-Doo films and you also probably know Josh as Peter from the Hunger Game films So some amazing talent behind the FNAF films already our first two actors are absolute bangers Now it's very difficult to assume who these guys are gonna be playing I know the most likely option right now is Michael and William Afton Though of course it's possible that they're not at all playing Michael and William Who knows maybe one of them could be Henry or maybe it's a brand new character. We've not heard of yet I mean we do have Abigail apparently showing up, which is a brand new character So again, maybe they're gonna be playing a brand new character It's absolutely amazing to have these two wonderful actors on board again huge fan of their works It's also great to finally get some casting news for the FNAF film because that means progress is going great We've got a production name, which was bad cupcakes We've got a filming location a filming date and now casting. Oh my god Hey, the FNAF film might actually release this time, but I'd love to know what are your thoughts on the brand new castings We've got for the FNAF film who you're hoping to see in the FNAF movie Are you disappointed Willem Dafoe may or may not be actually playing William Afton all that and more I'd love to know your thoughts on in today's video. Thank you so much for watching this FNAF news And I'll see you all on the flip side. Goodbye


What is the Activity Chooser? To add learning content to a Moodle course page, you use Moodle's Activity Chooser, which you can access by turning on the editing from the gear menu top right, and then, in the section where you want to have your learning content, you click Add an Activity or Resource. This will bring up the Activity Chooser. If you don't see this link, but instead you see two separate drop-down menus, check with your administrator. Let's click this link to take a look at the Activity Chooser and what it does. On the left is a list of activities. If we scroll down, we see that underneath is a list of resources. A resource in Moodle is static content which students would just read or look at or listen to. So for instance, if you're uploading documents and presentations, you'd use File or Folder. To present information directly, you'd use a page, or you can use URL if you had a link to a website or an online file. Whereas, activities require students to interact with Moodle. They might submit work using an assignment, or they might contribute to a forum discussion. The list can also include resources and activities which are not standard, but which your Moodle admin has added as extras. The Learn Moodle site, for instance, has Big Blue button for web conferencing, which isn't standard, but which has been added. In order to find out about what each of these does, you click the radio button next to it. The information then appears on the right, telling you what it is, how to use it, and useful teaching ideas. And if you click the More Help link, this takes you to Moodle's documentation with further information. You add an activity or resource by clicking the button and then clicking the Add button at the bottom, or if you don't need to read the information, you can simply click twice on the button and that will take you to the setup screen.


Hello and welcome to the session. My name is Mansi and I am going to help you with the following question. The question says find the derivative of the following function from first principle 1 by x square. Let us start with the solution to this question. We know that according to first principle f dash x is equal to limit h approaching to 0 function at x plus h minus function at x divided by h we have fx is equal to 1 by x square. So function at x plus h will be equal to 1 upon x plus h the whole square. Now we have to find f dash x that will be equal to limit h approaching to 0 function at x plus h is 1 upon x plus h the whole square minus function at x is 1 by x square this divided by h. Now this is equal to limit h approaching to 0. Now in the denominator of the numerator we will have x square into x plus h the whole square and here we will have x square minus x plus h the whole square the whole divided by h this can be written as limit h approaching to 0 x square minus x square minus h square minus 2xh divided by x square into x plus h the whole square into h. Now plus x square gets cancelled with minus x square and we have limit h approaching to 0 from these two terms we can take minus h common so we have minus h into h plus 2x divided by x square into x plus h the whole square into h. Now this h gets cancelled with this h and we have limit h approaching to 0 minus of h plus 2x divided by x square into x plus h the whole square. Now we apply the limit we put h equal to 0 in the numerator and denominator we will have minus 2x divided by x square into x plus 0 the whole square is x square so this will be equal to minus 2 into x divided by x cube into x we can write this as this also x gets cancelled with x and we have minus 2 by x cube or we can simply write minus 2 by x cube so this is our answer to the question. I hope that you understood the question and enjoyed the session have a good day.


Can everyone hear me all right? Let's see if I can get this thing to work Yes, we're just waiting for people to kind of get in here There's a lot different than Instagram, I guess, but we'll kind of give it a try. We'll wait I don't know two three minutes for people to join in and then we'll get started I could see everyone's chats are right. I could see everyone's comments here. It's actually pretty cool. I Definitely 100% need to buy a selfie stick Because my hand is going to start hurting very soon Everyone could see me and hear me. All right, right? There's like effects or something. Let me see what I do. I Can do like special effects. I could do black and white. Wow All right, I see you YouTube It's up there. First things first is go buy a selfie stick. Actually, there's a gas station Right next door.   I don't have my wallet They don't take Apple Pay. I bet we're good regardless. We'll wait. I'll go buy a selfie stick as soon as I'm done with this shit so what I'm gonna try to talk about today is the Philly event I'm gonna talk about Trading after taking some time off because I wasn't really trading while I was in Philly and then I'm gonna talk about the CETX trade my plan for it and how I kind of executed on it What did everyone else trade today? And how'd you trade today if you did trade? CETX F5 What does that mean CETX F5? Wasn't it just that? two bucks or something CETX RKDA What time is it by the way? I can't see what time it is 11 o'clock yet We're kind of like a few more minutes for everyone to kind of get in here I know it's kind of new for everyone to use YouTube instead of Instagram, so I'm sure it's gonna take some people some time to kind of figure it all out So we'll give them kind of like the benefit of the doubt. We'll let them Kind of get in here, but as we're waiting for everyone to kind of get in here Does anyone have any questions? so for those here That are in the YouTube live right now Did you come to Philly and if you did come to Philly What'd you guys think of it and the reason why I'm doing a YouTube live rather than an Instagram live is I just kind of Want to test out the different platforms, right? If we're always doing it on Instagram. That's cool and that's fun But you know YouTube is kind of cool You know there's we have a bunch of subscribers on YouTube that probably don't have Instagram So maybe just changing it up a little bit would be kind of cool But I kind of just want to see the different dynamic. I want to test out YouTube's platform a little bit see what they're kind of working with YouTube has more lagging so it's lagging more on YouTube How's the quality? Different between YouTube and Instagram like is the YouTube better is the Instagram better I just kind of want to get the feel for this in the hang of this first before I continue Sup Michael only problem is my hand freaking hurts and I know went to short or by but I am scared Do you have any advice?  I missed it. I missed it You need a stabilizer for the phone. Yeah, I need a selfie stick or something. This is all what the hell There's a zoom in three What's going on halted at five?  It went straight up. Oh, wow Well, it is zombie time. So All right, I think there's enough people in here. Let me kind of just get started. So first things first first things first is We just came back from Philly right and for those of you that don't know what Philly was it was that we threw a free 100% free Live trading conference slash seminar for our members and basically what does that mean? That meant that we had a free meetup for everyone on Saturday We all met up at a place called Liberty view in Philadelphia You got to meet a bunch of members. We got to be a bunch of non-members And then you know, there was five or six non-members that we kind of invited to the Philly event just because I think that was in a good mood and What ended up happening is we went out that Saturday night to a club We kind of took over the club for the entire night.  Do you guys see that?  We got some cheesesteaks We had a really good time and then on Monday was the live training event So what we did was we had all the lifetime members coming in an hour early To learn how I kind of build my watch list and how I kind of Reverse engineer the plays that I am looking to trade in the morning Also what ended up happening is Bastard trading lot and he made I think it was like two grand in like 15 minutes or like 10 minutes right and his mentality was that hey I'm not just gonna throw an event and have it be done in 10 minutes because that doesn't make sense So what ended up happening is he went back to the well and he lost the money and he showed everyone What happens if you are Greedy and if you overstay in the market because the truth of the matter is Making money in the market is easy. All right. It's easy to make money in the market The hard part is being able to keep it. So that's where a tap comes in That's where I need to kick his ass and get him out of there But then again, I knew what he was trying to he was trying to educate everyone So long story short, we had an amazing conference from like seven o'clock to around four or five o'clock It was a hundred percent free. We met a hundred and fifty members there It was an amazing time and I can't wait to see where we do it next. Hopefully somewhere warm somewhere fun and Again, if you are in here and you are watching this now and you were in Philly I want to know your perspective on it. What do you think we did right? What do you think we did wrong and how do you think we could kind of improve on that for the future? Because the reality is is that these events are a lot of work Shout out to Oliver who helped set up the entire event and got it to be an amazing price so that we could keep it free for our members Realize that other people are charging five hundred two thousand dollars to come to these events And we're trying to do our very best to keep them free But as mic continues to grow we're going to need to have bigger venues to fit more members And we just probably can't keep it free forever. So I think this is probably going to be the last free event that we have Only because as we grow we cannot accommodate everyone this event was almost 40 or 50 thousand dollars Right the next event if we have more people is going to be towards a hundred thousand dollars and we can't just afford to Do that. So what we're going to try to figure out is a way to Make sure that Any money coming in to the event is only used to cover the venue and everything else is used for like food or Drinks or anything for the members. So we're trying to figure it out We still have a lot of time for the next event, but that's kind of what we're working with right now Let's kind of fast forward to training today, right? So I just trained in Philly I was kind of helping bow out try to make sure everything was going well. So I had a bit of fomo, right? I had a bit of fomo so coming into today I woke up early I followed my process Did a quick 10 minute walk outside and came to the screens and today there was at least five low hanging fruit stocks There was rkda. There was ctx there was What was the other ones or the other low hanging fruit of the day? I can't remember. I have it in my watch list If anyone is in here, they could just kind of pull up my watches and let me know It's the crazy thing about training. I don't even remember what I traded an hour before, right? Yet all the patterns are stuck in my head. So today was a low hanging fruit day I didn't want to trade any of the new stocks I did not want to trade any of the hot chicks of the day Any te was a new one that I didn't really want to touch it to low float So what I ended up doing is I looked at ctx, right? jgx ledz and why exactly so What I did today is I wanted to look at the stocks that were moving yesterday That every single person forgot about, right? So that's basically my plan every single day My plan every day is to focus on the stocks that people forget about because anytime there's a new shiny object on the day People gravitate towards that And all the money flows out of these old ones and all the money flows into the new ones So all the money was out of my oh all the money was out jgx all the money was out of Arcadia and it all went to any te. So because that happens I don't want to really be involved in any te Especially into zombie time. So Ctx was my main play of the day It was the stock that I was the most interested in and why was I most interested in that? So I posted in mic the chart level where I was looking at and it was 250, right? So something the reason why I like ctx the best out of anything else was because the stock already broke down It bounced today And not a lot of people were talking about it to be honest. Everyone was focused on other stuff So because this was moving I basically just did basic technical analysis I found that there is a resistance level at 250 I drew it out. I shared it to the members and from there I just executed And what does that mean? It doesn't mean that just because it goes to 250 you short it Right just because it goes to 250 you short it. It means let it test 250 See if it's going to push see if it's going to fail and then from there from there You can either enter Or reassess. So what I did is when 250 failed I took a starter I took a very small starter 250 with the plan with the plan to either a add a 280 and cut it off above three or be If 250 retested and failed I would add size to my winner So what ended up happening is it went to 258? I shorted a small piece went down to 240 right went down to 240 And then it bounced to 252 and failed and the moment That is the Has indeed confirmed that 250 is the level to watch so as soon as it confirmed there I added size to my winner and before I knew it. I was up 20 or 30 cents on the position I took my money and I ran away. So yes, I had a 250 average I covered at 220 and 230 and I missed out an extra 15 cents, but I followed my plan But I followed my plan And I made money and that's all that matters, right? That's all that matters So every single day I am trying to show up And make the most amount of money with the least stress as possible And what I mentioned for the members today is every single day the process is the same every single day We're doing the same thing Every single day. We are looking at the float. We are looking at the filings We are looking at the chart We are setting our fantasy words and we are setting our stops every single day It is the same freaking process Oh, it's lagging a little bit. Give me a sec. I'm gonna walk back home and get back to the wi-fi Every single day, it's the same process, right? Every single day. I'm doing the same thing Some days I make a lot of money Some days I make a little bit of money. Some days I lose money But that's the point The point is that every single day you stick to your process because if you lose While sticking to your process, it doesn't mean that you are wrong It doesn't mean that it's time to change everything. It doesn't mean that you're doing something wrong It just means that these are the probabilities as trading, right? You cannot win 100% of the time trading. It is impossible to win 100% of the time in trading But if you have the right process, you have the right stops, you have the right everything Some days you're gonna make money. Some days you're gonna lose money Or the days that you lose money is gonna be small compared to the days That you make money, right? Your goal is to only lose one or two days of work not a month of work Not a week of work not a year of work, right? Sorry, let me kind of get back to this. Let me go to my office I think I showed everyone my office, right? Let me kind of Push the camera That is what I'm kind of working with here. This is where the photoshop team comes in So Let me kind of just put this here Everyone can see me and hear me. All right, right? I'm just trying to get used to these different angles because of youtube But yeah, that's basically this the simple part of it is that every single day you have to show up and do what Works for you. So Some things that we discussed and Philly some people had like some really amazing questions And I kind of want to outline that so one of the really good questions was How does someone you start doing this, right? What is the right way to do this, right? And the truth of the matter Is that the common mistake that most traders make the common reason why most traders fail is two things one Improper risk management, which means you're not using stops. You are being stubborn. You are being egotistical You are trying to prove something to the market and say that you're always right and the market is wrong That's how most people use I mean that's how most people lose So that's why we've implemented the system of hard stops trailing stops All these different types of stops to make it so robotic To make it so robotic that all you have to do is set this order And the the order takes care of itself, right? The other reason why a lot of traders fail Is because they do not have an edge, right? A lot of traders fail because when they get into the market, they want to trade long They want to trade short. They want to trade options.  They want to trade everything, right? They think that being a trader means that you got to trade amazon. You got to trade google You got to trade everything But the reality is that you should not be the jack of all trades. You should be the master of one So find what you are good at in the market experiment It is okay to experiment with options and futures and logs and shorts if you don't know what you're doing But just because you find an edge in options doesn't mean that you should be trading futures again Or it doesn't mean that you should be trading everything if you find your edge in small caps or if you find your edge in large caps If it's long or short you should try to refine that and improve that Over and over again rather than trying to master other stuff after you have mastered Longing and shorting and all that stuff then you could deviate to other things But the truth of the matter is you should stick to one thing Focus on that become the master of it and just do it every single day I know that my edge is going short on extended small cap stocks My edge is not trying to buy a dip there. My edge is not trying to buy the breakout Although some people make money doing that that is not what my edge is. That's not what I specialize in So I am only sticking to what I specialize in if that makes sense. Does that make sense? Let me know what you guys think Once you add a size of 250 What would your risk have been to stop out and ride? So let's pull up the ctx chart So ctx the high of the day was 259 and I shorted size on the lower high at 937 So my stop would have been to stop above the high at 934 which is 260 So I'm risking 10 cents to make 20 to 30 cents Some people are saying the quality is bad. Is that true? Let me see what I could do. I don't know how the hell I can Improve this I'll start messing around with it and seeing what I could do. But yeah, I'm just kind of testing this out I want to see uh If this is better if this is worse for everyone because we've been using instagram for so long And everything works fine. I kind of just want to change it up a little bit Do you scale with the same size 555 or do you increase as the stock rises? So um What I like to do what I like to do is I'm not the best at math, right? I'm I'm not the smartest guy in the room. Uh, so I just want to keep it simple If my max size is 3000 shares and I have three lines to scale I'm going to scale 1000 1000 1000 rather than 500 Then 1000 then 1500 you know what I'm saying um So it's just different. It's just different. There's everyone has a method to their madness, right and Something that I've mentioned also in the past is that um What works for me what works for me should just be a guide to what you can do, right?   So Just because You are trading the same stocks every single time me and bow trade the same stocks We have totally different uh entries and totally different plans Yet we nail it every single time because our process is similar our process is similar and that's what matters Give me a sec So do you guys have any questions about that? and again if you have any questions or Kind of mention it here and I'll try to uh Run through them So I'm like looking around looking at this net over here at 515 That's a big ass trap if you just cut it off at 10 30 you would have made money Isn't that the freaking crazy part? Isn't that the crazy part? 10 30 rules freaking everything man What else do you guys have any questions for me? So just uh A heads up. We're having another free meetup tonight. Uh in chicago Let me show you kind of the information So we are having a local meetup at restoration hardware booth tonight at apm in chicago So if you are a member or a non-member you could come to that meetup and meet some members All right, I got a bunch of questions. Let me scroll back and answer them all thoughts on sure trader I used to use sure trader five years ago Um, I don't really use anymore. I don't recommend it to anyone. They are too sketchy and I don't want to mess around with any Foreign brokerages. I only want usa ones How do you calculate ssr on the stock you take the closing price of the stock and multiply by 9 and that is your ssr number Do you do the same thing walk outside or whatever before you trade to get in your mental stage or zone like a psychological trigger? Yeah, believe it or not I try my best to wake up early and go for a very quick walk just to kind of clear my head But the problem is is that uh, I like sitting there and watching pre-market action To know how to react when the market opens because the more information that I have about a stock The better I can perform. So sometimes I feel that if I'm walking outside early in the morning Uh, I am losing time from watching the market So that's something that I'm kind of working on. That's why I am trying to wake up a little bit earlier to get in that extra time to walk so um Being under pdt. I have a hard time pulling the trigger on a trade afraid of missing out on the better one Well, that's okay. So that's really important. So something that I've learned about members and non-members under pdt is that it forces them to be selective, right? It forces them to Uh, only trade the best setups, right? So what does that mean, right? That usually means that some people are scared. Some people are scared to Uh, short or long based on pdt because they think that there's a better opportunity for them If you made a plan if this is in your setups If this is your edge if this is something that you've traded in the past There's no reason to be fearful, right? The reason why people are fearful in trading is because they do not have a plan So let's break it down, right? Let's try to form a process to make you have a better plan number one Entry where your entry is going to be eliminate formal Set fantasy orders, right? If it gets to your desired entries, the fantasy orders will fill you Number three after your fantasy orders hit What you should be doing is setting a stop to make sure that you don't lose more than you are willing to risk And then after that it just becomes robotic because think about it You're sitting there.  So Proper planning is key Um, can I start with 3k? You could start with however much you want The point is that before you start with real money You should be paper trading first to prove you have an edge And then getting into the market with 100 shares max size And practicing with real money Because using paper money and using real money is a totally different ball game After you have proved yourself that you have an edge paper trading after you prove that you have an edge With 100 shares, then you could dive in Two years paper trading. Yeah I mean, that's basically it.  I do the same freaking thing and Sometimes I make money sometimes I lose money But that doesn't mean that my process is wrong. Remember that not all trades are going to be winners Not every single time are we going to make money and that doesn't mean that you are wrong It doesn't mean that your process is wrong. It just means that these are the probabilities that you're not going to win 100% of the time So do you guys like the instagram better? or the youtube better because This is kind of just a test and if it goes well, it goes well If not, we'll just go back to instagram But I kind of just want to get everyone else's feedback because You guys are the one watching this stuff and i'm the one recording it So I am more than comfortable doing whatever that you guys like more So let me know in the comments right now so I could kind of figure out what to do for next time YouTube is better youtube both are good IG instagram youtube youtube youtube wow, I guess everyone likes youtube The quality is normal everything is good because I know some people said that the quality was kind of sketchy I feel like more people have access to youtube. Yeah, I think that's true. I mean you don't have to use a phone for youtube The youtube is laggy YouTube will get more people I wonder if the youtube is laggy Because I'm recording live and then when it is done and it processes it might go to hd So I don't really know how all this stuff works. I'm just kind of messing around with it There's like a bunch of effects that I could do um You might have to use your desktop for youtube I mean I could do that I have a webcam Maybe I'll just but the problem is I like walking around right So maybe what I could do is if I'm home and at my desk I could do the youtube live and if I am Oh, wait, is there different settings? Maybe I could stream in higher settings No Watch everyone else start doing youtube lives Okay It was high quality when I first started walking Uh, do your back testing? That's funny. I mean look i'm always open to messing around and trying new things Um Okay, so that's what that's what we'll do. We'll do this when I am home And I want to recap a setup or recap a trade I will do youtube and whenever I want to walk outside or we want to bring on members will do instagram Because again, uh, I'm always trying to improve all these things and some people message me saying that they have Problems with instagram. So I said, let me try youtube for today. So again, I'm always willing to kind of help and improve so Um, yeah, do you guys have any other questions for me? I'm seeing all these other people doing meet-ups now every single one of them They're all doing meet-ups. It's crazy Again, we are having another Free meet-up today in chicago at the restoration hardware rooftop at 8 p.m It's at 1300 north dearborn street in chicago.  I locate ctx and leds about only ctx Yes, I locate what I need in the morning But it depends. So for example, right for example, what I like to do what I like to do is If I really want the stock And I know that the stock is going to be in play Uh, I know that I am going to locate as much as I need whereas if I'm not too confident Or not too comfortable with the stock I will only locate enough for a starter position And then if I need more, I'll just locate more Yeah, everyone's doing meet-ups now No one cared about their members until I might see starter, right? But again, at least we are making the community a better place, right? Everyone's copying us with the meet-ups. Everyone is copying us with the merchandise Everyone is copying us with all the stuff And they don't do it because they care and they do it because they have to compete And the reality is we do it because we actually like meeting people We actually have fun meeting people They are going to burn out and they are going to get so bored of it because they are not real So we're just going to keep doing our thing and that's basically it Still whenever I look around like this, I'm just looking around at the different charts I have Docs charge the kid needs to get into his conference. How much did he charge? So I mean, that's it. I mean, like I only like doing we have a schedule for these Instagram lives It's every Monday and Tuesday, but because of the meet-up We've been kind of really busy and you know, it's been a lot of work trying to get everything set up So me Balintosh had like a few days just to relax. We went we got foot massages. We went to a spa So it's kind of just nice to get back into the groove of just working and trading and walking and instagraming and recapping because That is part of my daily process and every time that I stray from my daily process. I lose Here's ctx bouncing 230 would be a nice level to short If you guys don't have any other questions for me, I'm going to wrap this up And I'm going to see how I can upload it or see what the quality is going to be like because Again, uh, some people like the youtube some people like the instagram today was just kind of a test run I think I'm going to try the instagram Next week or whatever our schedule is for it and then we'll take it from there Maybe I'll alternate every week But this is kind of just a test run to see what everyone thought about it. Some people like this Some people didn't like it. My arm was hurting holding the phone the way. So I don't know. We'll figure it out Oh, also, let me show you some really cool things that some members got me from Philly, right? so Travel Is karma Whatever you Give out it'll come right back. So I thought this was amazing This is such a freaking incredible thoughtful gift and I have a right of my trading office. So thank you so much pima for Moderating you guys.  I'm so so so grateful for everyone Small gestures like that goes such a long way And that doesn't mean that you have to always get us a gift or anything like that but you know pima traveled 16 hours to the event and even with doing all that he still had the mentality to get such a Thoughtful gift and it's not an expensive gift It's not something that is gonna break the bank. It is just so thoughtful It's so freaking amazing that just so touched me. So thank you so much for getting that Yeah, I mean, that's basically it guys. So uh topics discussed today. We're Philly Cetx pre-planning the trade we discussed how to start trading with a small account We discussed What's called being the master of one rather than the jack of all And we discussed how important stopping is and how important pre-planning is so again Kind of the time flies. It's been going for 38 minutes already But again, I want to keep the short and sweet because I recognize that the longer that these are the less that people watch it So let me upload this onto youtube. Let me see if the quality is going to improve but As for now, we'll go back to instagram lives And then we'll take it from there. So thank you again for everyone that came uh, thank you Fernando and Pima for the amazing gifts and thank you everyone for coming out to Philly. We'll see you next time


Welcome ladies and gentlemen back to Bitcoin daily today We are doing a video on a question. We get all the time. They're always like Jay How much money do I need to make? $100 a day how much everybody wants to know right? So we went ahead and tried to break it down in the simplest form possible and show you how you must use risk management tools and Rules in order to get to that number all right properly without blowing your account Okay, so let me get my face out the way and let's jump right into this So how much money do you need to make? $100 a day trading So the first thing is we're reverse engineering using risk management rules, right? so the first thing on risk management that that the most important thing one of the most important rules for us is Basically position size right so for position sizing we have what's called the 5% rule Never risk more than 5% on any one trade But that's the max. That's the high end of it So that's the risk the riskier the high risk end of it, right? So ideally you want to be in the 1% the 2% range per trade So you anytime you're in a trade the most you want to ever risk in one trade is 1% to 2% All right 5% is the rule and it is a max But ideally the the majority of your trades should be made within the 1% to 2% If if you're very confident about a trade 3% is is cool and it's fine to have that But what getting into 4 to 5% that should be less than probably 5% of your trades should be in the 4 to 5% risk range All right, so So now that we know our position size and our position our 5% rule now. What's next? Risk reward, right? So the minimum risk reward on any trade should be 2 to 1 or 1 to 2 however you want to say it So if your if your reward is $100 in a winning trade your risk should never ever Be your risk should be a max. I'm sorry of $50, right?  So if you're right more than 33% of the time Guess what? You're now a profitable trader So if you're right 50% of the time using this method on a hundred total trades You will profit $2,500 per 100 trades if your your reward is $100 and your risk is $50 That's just to give you an example and to break this down even further All right a 1 to 2 risk reward, right? So my our risk is $50 our reward is $100 So if we're losing and on a losing trade what we're risking is $50 on a winning trade What we're winning is $100 So per 100 trades are going to be just to make everything simple Every every every example here is going to be is going to be per 100 trades. All right So if you have a 33% success rate You're a break-even trader if you have a 50% success rate You're now talking about you're making $2,500 profit per 100 trades If you have 55% success rate You're making thirty two hundred and fifty dollars profit per 100 trades if you have a 60% success rate now you're talking about four thousand dollars profit per 100 trades guys so in our In our trading rooms for example, we're at we we averaged in 2019 around 70% success rate And we're around the same number The same numbers this year.  So so when we're breaking this down We have to figure out where we're taking profit and what our average is right? So that just because we need we need to know a number so that we can figure out everything else If we don't know these numbers if we don't know our numbers then we can't figure these things out So on average when I'm taking my trades in and in the thousands of trades I've taken over the the years that I've been trading on average I'm usually taking profits around 25 percent to 50 percent, right? So this is just from my personal experience. You can change these numbers, you know depending on how you trade How you're at what your average is, but on my personal experience my that the I'm usually taking profits between 25 to 50 percent on average now everything's situational and trading you must remember that I'm always a Lot of times I'm either cutting trades if I no longer like them or if once it's in profit I'll set the stop loss or the trail stop up to break even so I'll do a lot of things To make sure that I'm not lose. I'm not taking losing trades, right? But let's just say on average 25 to 50 percent So let's just say the middle of that right the middle of 25 to 50 is gonna be 40 percent So 40 percent in this example and just to get these numbers right will be our target per trade Okay, so 40 percent is a magic number. We're looking for and because we're using our risk reward of 2 to 1 or 1 to 2 1 1 we're risking $1 to make $2, right? So if our profit target is 40 percent on a winning trade, then on a losing trade We will be at 20% and will be our stop loss So 20% loss will be our stop loss per trade So if if we're in a trade and we're at 20 percent Right loss. We're down 20 percent. We're cutting that trade And if when we hit 40 percent, we're taking profits So just to be black and white remember trading is not black and white But just for this example and for the purposes of this tutorial I am going to try to make it as simple as possible and as black and white as possible just for the purposes of this, okay? So if 40 percent is our average target, how much are we actually or how much are we risking for that so that that 40 percent equals $100 profit So I did the math here and to fit 250 dollars times 40 percent equals a hundred dollars so if our position size Equals $250 and we make 40 percent profit on those $250 We just earned $100 profit on that one trade, right? So the fight now now remember we're reverse engineering this so the 5% rule if 5% is $250 that means 5,000 times 5% equals 250 so now we understand by going over through all these rules and reverse engineering this that the minimum Capital we need to have in order to hit that hundred dollars per trade is $5,000 we have come to this by reverse engineering it right And we're reverse engineering it from a risk management standpoint because we want to always be practicing proper risk management so 5,000 times 5% is 250 now remember 5,000 $5,000 capital is needed, but this is risking the top end of this 5% So this is very very high risk what happens with this it makes your account very very volatile So when you're winning you will be your vote your account will be moving real quick and when you're losing It's also moving real quick in the opposite direction So remember this is high risk So now if we if we want to be a little bit more conservative We still want to be kind of risky But we're still trying to be conservative How much money do we need in order to keep hitting these numbers, right? so 8,334 capital is what would be needed as In a medium risk, so that would be Using risking 3% of your capital per trade. So now this is a little bit of a safer option $8,334 It is $3,334 more than this one, but Now we have a lot more room and we're playing it a lot safer So now our risk of blowing our accounts drops immensely, right? And then of course if you want to be very very safe Then $10,000 capital is what's needed It will be the safest risk and in this example then you're only Risking 1% of your account per trade to make that hundred dollars So you're you're risking 1% of your capital and And you'll be able to hit this number So that's pretty much it guys Hold on so now I'm looking at this number and I'm saying you're risking 1% and it's not making sense to me Did I do the math wrong on this guys? Uh 10,000 Yeah, I did the math wrong in this guys. I knew it. I just looked at this and I was like wait, it doesn't make sense so I think The actual number here, so I'm trying to get the 1% number I believe is in it's 20 25 Yeah, so okay, so this changes things a lot So I made an error here guys. Apologize about that So for the safest right safest Safest risk where you're only risking 1% per trade $25,000 is actually what's needed here not 10,000 25,000 and for Cuz now I'm thinking Okay, so so the 8,000 is correct. It was just the the safest option here so All right, so the $5,000 Capital is needed if you're willing to risk 5% per trade This is not recommended But if you only have $5,000 to start with then you know you got to start with what you got so And also you can you don't have to aim for $100 per day. Remember that guys Now the next safest option is eight thousand three hundred and thirty four That's the capital that will be needed if you're only risking three percent, right? So three percent of this equals to fifty two fifty times forty percent equals a hundred dollars on a winning trade Now the last one is the one that I made a mistake on Whoops, I just knocked down my phone This is actually Twenty five thousand dollars capital is needed. It's the safest risk where you're only risking You're only risking at this point 1% of your capital which is 250 times 40% on a winning trade equals a hundred dollars, right? So that's pretty much it as far as that guy as far as that goes guys I Want to finish this by by telling you guys You don't have to like It's it's I'm trying to see how I can put this It's not easy to make a hundred dollars every single day, right? With trading trading is a roller coaster.   And you're you're Trading let's say you're trading five days a week in this example Let's say you're in the stock market trading five days a week making a hundred dollars a day So that's a hundred times 20 you're talking about $2,000 You're you're making if you're if you have $5,000 you're making to you're almost you're almost making 50% you're talking about 40% Profit on your entire account and that's very difficult to do in a 30-day period that doesn't happen like that, right?  There's gonna be losing days and losing weeks So my advice is to start on a weekly and monthly Set weekly and monthly goals of a percentage on your portfolio, you know and and build on that that's more realistic making 500 up making a hundred dollars every single day is not realistic It's not you're not gonna win every single day one day.   You can definitely aim for it But remember don't don't over trade just to try to get to those hundred dollars every single day It's basically what I'm trying to say Think of it more in a weekly standpoint like so So on a in a week you want to make five hundred dollars that week, right?   You know, I mean that's a lot of pressure You're gonna take trades that you're not supposed to be trading So what I'm trying to say basically just slowly build it up guys, you know Be patient. It is a grind until you're over $25,000 It is a grind to be hitting these numbers consistently Without putting so much pressure on yourself and without over-treating. All right so So, yeah, so that's basically it guys. I just wanted to get this this out there Hopefully this helps you guys Hopefully, you know, it helped it Gives you a clear vision on where what you need in order to start in order to you know start building up that portfolio So for the question of the day We're gonna do today's question of the day is going to be Once it pops up as you guys know the question of the day every video We will have a random question about something in the video Question will always be in a random area of the video find a question and find the answer Post your answer in the comments for a chance to win a free month membership to our trading room winners will pick randomly Randomly once a video receives over 30 likes. So today's question of the day Let's do it About something here Okay, what is the 5% rule All right, that is a question of the day. What is a 5% rule guys? All right, that's basically it guys I hope you guys enjoyed this catch you on the next one. Peace and love


Using just this information, no protractor, no scale, you only have a compass with you. Can you draw an angular bisector of this angle? In short, can you bisect this angle using only a compass and a pencil? Compass, and you said you have to use the same radius to mark both these, correct? You said the same radius. And then what that gives you is a equidistant point on this. And then again, you take a radius. This can be anything else, correct? The radius can have any other value. And then you mark off one arc like this and one arc like this. That gives you a second point. And then you join. It's a kite. It's called a kite. And kites have the property that the diagonals of the kites are angular bisectors. And so can you draw a line that trisects a given angle? Trisect is a word that extends bisect. It means to cut an angle into three parts.
