Welcomon o Toffy TV er is my three things, Aston Villa four ever nil, the blues, comfortably beaten at Villa Park, Villa the much better side, thoroughly deserved the victory and from my perspective it was a horror show. I want to say from start to finish because it was, it was too easy for Aston Villa all day and yeah they've ever been continuing that way, they're in for a very very tough season, one in which you wouldn't expect them to get out of trouble if they continue to perform the way they did today. First thing on the trouble is the defence which was atrocious today, absolutely abysmal. The amount of time to Villa were just able to walk into our penalty area. The goals, you look back and listen again, you can say it about every goal, you can take it back and look at it and not be happy that you could have done better in a certain position. Absolutely you can do that but today I think when they watch them back they'll be shuddering because they were pathetic. Every goal was woeful from an evident perspective, go play by Villa but was woeful from an evident perspective. People just not marking, people throwing themselves to the ground for no reason and leaving a big gap behind them. People swinging legs at it like an under six, under seven kid would do in the box and outside the box. So the manager's got to get this sorted and that is if it's a new centre back, they've got to go and get a new centre back otherwise get brand-weight in there now. If, you know, Miche Lenco has you going to come back in, there's Ashley Young. You know, they've got to look at it all and work out the best strategy, the midfield, what's that doing, who's playing where. There's no, you know, right now, they'll come on to the style of playing a minute or whatever it's supposed to be but defensively they've got to get this sorted. It's all very well saying last week all, you know, Fulham didn't cause us too many problems, no they didn't. They were abysmal Fulham last week. They were absolutely abysmal and yeah, they could have scored three goals. They scored one, they hit the post and picked for the league. We could have scored loads but it wasn't as if they didn't have any chances and we didn't give chances up. So there's got to be changes next week against Wolves, absolutely and they've got to get that defensive unit right because we can't, you know, we've conceded five goals in two games. It's just not good enough. It's not good enough and we can't accept it because, you know, last season, while the window was on evidence basically as a football club made the decision that the games didn't care, the games didn't matter rather. No one cared that the football club and games came and went and it'll be alright after the window shuts when we get some players in. Before we knew it, we were five Premier League games, now we're out of win. We're already two down, two defeats on the run, not a single point. Same as last season, only goal difference ways. Wolves are home now, it's massive, so they've got to get the targets. So second thing I'm talking about is the targets, the attack on players that have to come in. I know I've said the centre back and I don't think they need another one in there. I think Brandt waited years ago, I think the other two. Michael Keynes had a goal and that's not working, so maybe Ben Godfrey, but Brandt waited years ago, otherwise gone get one. But in attacking sense, I know they're trying to get Che Adams over the line, he's still negotiating himself for him. He's not prolific. Yes, he'll be more of a target than what Neil Mopay is and I know a lot of people are unhappy with it, but he's a reinforcement for now. We need a wide player, if they can't get Nonto over the line, go and choose someone else very quickly and get that sorted because every day is wasted, there's two games. Okay, Villa today, it's not, you know what, it isn't even the result today. It's not even the result today because even me trying to be positive, I expect the Villa to win. There's a good side, fairs down game, he's just been bounced all over the shop at Newcastle. I had to be the action from them and we didn't have a goal in our team and we're all over the place.   If they've got B2-0, it'd have been a lucky goal or a penalty and a breakaway or something. You can hold your hands up to that, but we can see the four goals and it could have been 6, 7, 8, really because they got through a few times, so simple, so simple. Pickford's made it a well to admit to stopping on 3-0 in the first half, so there could be five. They had all the chances. It's too easy and we have to bring players in ourselves so that we can get after these teams and get goals and that recruitment has to be now. It has to be done quickly. Last week was a shambles losing to Fulham. It was shambolic. They got done 3-0 at home yesterday. They were worse than average last week. We missed the whole hoax, the chances. So this was always going to be a tough ask and there was always a possibility after we lost last week we played 2-2, but it's the way in which you lose the game and that's why for me these reinforcements have to be in ASAP. Finally, it's just the style of play and I'm open that my last point dictates the next point because I just don't see whatever they're doing at the moment. I don't see it. There was loads of criticism for Frank Lampard over this. There was loads of criticism for Rafa Benitez over this. Carlo over this. So there's no way that is getting away with it. What are we trying to do? I don't see what we're trying to do. All I see is we knock it around, knock it back and pick for just smashing it up near and that seems to be our style of play. And that is a bismal in this day and age and you've had a pre-season. I get it. Listen, I had no issues with how we played in the second half of last season. The manager come into a terrible position, terrible situation and he just got us functioning, but we've had all pre-season to establish something and we're still just kicking it up and hoping for the best. Okay, if that's the tactic, there's unimaginative as it is. If that is the tactic, then you've got to go and get a big centre forward. You can win everything in the air and flick things right.   Slow and sluggish, decor ae, slow and sluggish in that midfield. O na ne. And the manager has to get all the coaching staff, they have to get this, the way we're going to play established very quickly and it has to be better than what it is. Ville, I've got a way of playing. The manager's imprinted that since he's come in. It'll work sometimes, other times it won't. But ours, we can, if that's what we're doing, again, goes back to recruitment the point before, if that's what we're doing, then go and get the fella to stand up there and knock people about. Then it's you Adam start, there's only five foot nine. It's not like he's six three and he's going to be smashing people all over the place and pulling it down. You know, it's not bad to open the ball up and building. But we also have to have runners. We've got to have people running beyond the centre forward today. Listen, it wasn't a true reflection because we lost Dominic Alvalu and I understand that and he might have given us that target. But we're still too slow when we didn't change. Oh, we can't knock it long now because Dom's gone off. We were still whacking the ball forward. People aren't running and these things have got to be established. Listen, the man that you might turn round and say, we were trying to get X, Y and Z and if we get them in, then we will play this way. Fine. That isn't good enough what I've just watched today. Now, those poor fans that went down to Villa today in a day and, you know, singing the heart out and all of a sudden you tune them down and three and they'll down and four and they'll down. I don't know what to play as a second best at everything. Something's got to change because we are as much as I look at evidence side and go, well, if they got him and if they got this fella in and he gets the defence sorted, we're all right and we should be OK. When you watch a performance like that, it does make you go, actually, we look terrible. The fortunate thing, that thing for evidence is other teams look terrible as well. But that can't be something we hang on and go, well, we'll be all right because there's other teams that aren't good. That cannot be because those other teams will be trying to improve over the next fortnight as well. So there you go. I've waffled on for long enough. Thanks for watching. See you later.


T. F. N. N. headline news update. I run Basel Chapman right here on this 25th day of March. My pleasure to be here for the T. F. N. N. Update. I'm the host of the Tiger Technicians Hour coming up straight after this update. The Dow is down $1.34. It's at $25,500. This is going to be a very important week because the parameters that we are looking at are quite clear. This trend line that you're looking at, if you're looking at my left side chart, has a trend line right from the middle of February, around about the $24,880 level in the Dow, going to the $25,252 low of March the 11th. And this morning I said to subscribers to my opening call, let's watch the $25,370 trend line. If it goes below that, that's a problem. And we hit $23,372 and we've bounced quite nicely off that. The parameters to watch are, anytime in the next two days, a close below $25,350, would suggest we're going straight down to the $25,252 low of March to make that lowercase H pattern. Remember the arch formation that comes all the way back to the left side low. And if there is a balance, there should be strong resistance in the $25,620. If we go above that, that's going to be important because $25,700 is the nine and the 14-period exponential moving average resistance. The weekly chart, surprising enough, even with that horrible Friday, is still looking very good. Yeah, we go. S&P, let's just run this quickly before we end the break, $27,097 down three, same sort of thing. The technicals here actually are also very weak, like the Dow's daily weekly chart are still very strong parameters to watch. The close below $27,80, anytime in the next two days, very negative. A close above $28,12 would be at least a short-term positive, QQQ, NDX100, $177,89 down $0.67. Probably made a peak three days ago and now we're watching to see if it can hold. A close below $176,50, very negative on the daily and a close above $179, anywhere above $179, would be a very good short-term. Weekly chart is still very strong, IWM was very weak on Friday, weak again, no, it went a little lower today, but it says at $150, you've got to be very careful, Gold is having a very nice ready, it's up $9 at $13,21 and the dollar is pulling back a little bit. I'll have more of this in my show coming up with Tiger Technicians Hour, otherwise I'll see you tomorrow. Have a great day.


You're going to want to make sure that you do share with your doctor your symptoms and your conditions. Why? Your communication with your doctor is imperative. At the end of your case, if it goes to court, and it probably will, most of these cases do, you can say almost anything you want to a judge.  So you're going to want to make sure that you're doing a very good job of communicating with your doctors. What you don't want to do is, you don't want to exaggerate. You don't want to exaggerate with your doctors. You don't want to exaggerate when you fill out those forms for social security. And you certainly don't want to exaggerate in front of a judge.


Today we got a big project. We're working on a big project on my boy Sam here. We already got the whole sleeve started. We only need this, and we have a gap in the back of his thighs, because he doesn't skip leg day. I like using a stencil stuff, no particular reason. So I put enough on my hands to cover the whole entire thigh. Even the areas that I know I'm not gonna be like, that it doesn't need it. I'm still adding it, because you never know. It's better to have extra than to be over here putting the perfect stencil, but then some areas didn't stick. All right, there it is. Perfect. For this one I use three papers. It is three papers put together. And then, just tell me you wanna be in the video full. I'm not staying. I'm not staying. So I, I'm gonna eyeball it. Under the... I think. Yeah, right there, should be fine. Perfect, perfect. Look at this, look at this stencil. Beautiful, sheesh. Nah, this is a beautiful stencil. I mean, the whole thing, it's perfect. Now we're just gonna let it dry for a little bit.  Oh, all right. So we already got about 30 minutes in and I'm using my 14 round liner with my medium tone. My mid tone is 40% black and 60% white. So that's the tone that I'm gonna be using. I am running my machine at 5.0 and the way I know that I'm packing in the details nicely and it's going in smoothly without irritating the skin is I can hear this noise. Sounds loud. But this is what I'm gonna be doing throughout the whole entire beard with the same needle.  This is what you want to hear. I'm trying to figure out the millimeters on my needle, on my needle depth. How many millimeters do you think that is? Sticking out. Two? Yeah, all right. Maybe two to three millimeters. But if I was to put it in a little bit more, like inside, it wouldn't sound the same. See that? It doesn't have the same noise anymore. But if I was to stick it out a little bit more, see? It's like a huge difference. So yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and keep going with the same technique. So that is it for this video. Thank you guys for watching on a weekly basis and we finally reached 50K. Thank you guys for subscribing. I really appreciate it. And what I'm gonna start doing now is answering questions on a weekly basis. So if you have a question, drop a comment and I will try to answer it on the following video. For this week's question is from Edward Dillon.  And I get this question so much and it's honestly nothing special about it. For the longest time I was using a smaller grip so it cost a lot of tension on my hand which cost a lot of pain on my forearm, my thumb, and all over my hand. So I can go deeper into this topic. I would address that on a later video. So yeah, after doing a little bit of research, I realized that using a bigger grip helped me a lot with the pain. What's up Frida? Why are you so mad? Why are you so mad? Relax. Why are you so mad? Okay, come here, come here. Damn Frida, relax. And stick around cause at the end of this video, I'm gonna put a small clip that has information on how to book an appointment with me. So yeah, other than that, if you're a tattoo artist, I hope you learned something from this video and if you're a tattoo enthusiast, I hope you were entertained. Thank you guys for watching. I'll see you guys next week. Peace. If you are looking into booking an appointment with me, follow these simple steps. Send an email with a concept that you have in mind, placement, and if you're local or out of state. Include as many details as you can the more information we have, the easier it is to book. Please understand that due to high volume of emails, we are not able to select every single inquiry and we ask for everybody to be patient. So send me your craziest ideas and I can't wait to tattoo you. Peace.


This last challenge in the extreme category on Ryan Nicholson's capture-to-flag competition is called Custom Encoded Data. It says, view the attached packet capture to determine the flag that was sent from this IP address, so we can go ahead and download this pcap file. It is a packet capture, so if you wanted to, we can open it up in Wireshark. First, let's download it so we've got it saved in our own CTF directory, and then we can open it up. So, I struggled with this challenge for a long time because I didn't particularly know what I was doing. We do not have a whole lot of packets here if you can see them in Wireshark, but we have a conversation between two computers or two things, right? 192, 168, blah, blah, blah, 164, talking to 163. And it looks like there is some stuff going on, but nothing particularly interesting down below. In the ASCII representation, only one of these packets actually has a data section that looks like it's including whatever this is, 8C9, 88, blah, blah, blah, etc. So, obviously nothing plain text, nothing that I can just straight up strings in this, but I would want to use that as my typical low-hanging fruit, easy things that I could just run through my checklist in a CTF competition, but no dice in this. So, I was kind of scratched in my head as to what can I really do with this, no hints that I wanted to use, no other notions from the challenge prompt. So, what I started to do was just actually start to script stuff that will test out rotations or different techniques that may be trying to obfuscate this file, etc, etc. So, the way I initially did this was with Scapey, and again, that is a Python package capture packet manipulation, packet awesome, whatever you want to do with them, library and Python. And if you need to install them, sudo pip install Scapey, and you can get through and do with it that way. I've shown it in a couple other videos before, but that is my go-to for playing with pcap files. So, all right, let's do this. So, I would want to import everything from Scapey, so from Scapey.all import everything, then I would read pcap, we can call this packets for the filename, just flag.pcap, and then I can, if I wanted to, print packets.show. So, in the command line, if we go ahead and run this, you can see that it will print out all of these packets, but only this one, index zero three, has some raw data. So, if I check out print zero three, and it's, let's just run show on that, so we can see what is it we're working with. It has the load here as part of the raw information. So, let's get raw out of it, and then that load data just looks like whatever binary bits and stuff. So, what I had done for testing and for learning was just trying to increment characters and see if, is there anything that's actually in this, that's been rotated or translated. So, what I mean by that is I say, for i in range like 255, and then I would try and print the character version of this. So, I'm going to do some list comprehension in x for x in that string, and let's get the ordinal of that, so that we'll just get a number in between zero to 255, and then I'll add on the i that we're working with, and I'll try and chr that, and since that will be just a list, I can put them together. But this won't get me anything interesting either, and why do I have a syntax error there? Oh, I am forgetting and closing parentheses. Okay, so running through that, that is going to error out. So, again, we want to modulus this in chr, wrap it around in 255, fail again, what's wrong? Oh, put this in parentheses.  Even if I tried to strings it, no such flag or whatever. And some of these look like base 64. So just for funsies, I even tried that from import base 64, try base 64 decode, et cetera, et cetera, but that didn't happen. So, props to Alyssa Tiger and a friend of mine that is in the Discord server. Link in the description. You should totally join the Discord server if you aren't already. A lot of cool CTF hackers and programmers just jamming together. So, that didn't happen, and he had this notion, he had this thought, like, well, what is this supposed to actually decode out to? Just trying to think of like, okay, let's work backwards. We know it's ideally the flag, right? So, the flag format, quote, unquote, that we've seen throughout this competition, is that a capital flag and then whatever the string actually is that is the flag. So, he had that idea, and I was thinking like, oh, okay, good, good, good call. Maybe this is some XOR challenge. I tried Frumpon, import all, and then I tried to like XOR, just that original package message with like what we would know to be the first couple characters, like flag, capitalize, and then I would try and print that out, but that wasn't going to get me anything either. Why didn't that run? Did that run? Oh, no, it was probably just bytes or whatever. Yeah, if I wrap that in wrapper, it'll give me that out, but again, no real actual data out of that. So, we tinkered with this a little bit more, and then we had the notion that, okay, what is the actual like order of this? What is the order of this? All those characters that we started to loop through. So, I wanted to just print out the first couple notes here for X in this guy. Let's print out or let's get an idea of what those X ordinals are. Print this out, and we see all of these characters, interesting enough. So, let's try that for what we know the flag format would be, right? We would do a word of X for X in the string flag. And an interesting thing that I noticed, and it was kind of pointed out when we looked at this, was that 140 at the top here, 152, 130, et cetera, et cetera, these just seem to be two times what we're looking for in the original flag or plain text. So, it looks like the original message or the code of the data is just two times what we're looking for. So, all we have to do is divide each of these by two, right? So, let's do that. Let's print out or divided by two, and let's take the character representation of that. So, we get an ASCII, and then let's join these all together as a string, and boom, we get our flag, just like that. So, that was the trick, not a whole lot of really encoded data or anything, but just a fancy notion, okay, we've modified the bits a little bit in here. We've modified the bytes to do something else. So, that was some fun, interesting reconnaissance and a really, really big stumbling block for a long time. I couldn't entirely know what I was doing. I felt like I was guessing, but still in each challenge, always good to look at the bytes or really just do whatever I can to examine the data that we're looking at. So, also some cool stuff with Skapy, good to know and good to play with that. So, we can go ahead and submit that, earn our points or whatever, and then mark this challenge as complete.

Now, this is a slide I shared with you, the concept of CT is very attenuation-based. Our focus is to get the best lesion to background contrast, and it's no surprise that we give contrast for almost all oncology indications. Now, for typically at least in the United States, but also the NCCN guidelines suggest for most oncology protocols, IV contrast is must, except if patient has, you know, contrast allergies or renal issues. But oral contrast, they encourage. They don't mend it. They say oral contrast is advised. In our practice, for most oncology application, we use both oral and IV contrast. Every patient gets reformats. Certain patients, we also do image processing using 3D rendering.  How many of you use oral contrast for oncology protocols? Good number. Great. So, I would say is one thing you keep in mind is sometime we look at an astute radiologist like Aniga or Raju and we think, oh, they don't need any oral contrast. They can do a great job. They have so much experience, but we don't realize our workforce is much younger. A lot of these initial interpretations are done by trainees. They need that confidence of knowing what is normal versus abnormal. So, let's look at this patient. This patient, both patients had right lower quadrant pain, years, someone called. And previous evening, this was a bowel wall thickening. We need colonoscopy. More likely that it's ischemia or tumor, oh, sorry, infection or tumor. This was a young patient. Everyone thought this is lymphoma. There is lymphedinopathy. And, you know, clinically it was not making sense. We repeated study with more oral contrast and you realize this is a pseudo thickening, quite common in secom because of poor mixing of content feces and oral content. Year, it's so easy. There is no question. Same year, we waited for a little longer with oral contrast. That was unapacified bowel loop.  In United States, colonoscopy alone is few hundred billion dollar expense. 25% of colonoscopy that CT generates is unindicated. There's nothing. We call bowel wall thickening or something and they find nothing. So, it's so critical that we reduce that expense and also morbidity. You know, detection of certain abnormality. I think, you know, this hypervascular neuroendocrine tumor, carcinoid and bowel will be extremely difficult if the bowel is not distended and we have a good IV contrast. You can see multifocal lesion here. You can appreciate better. This peritoneal metastasis, I'm sure most of us will miss it depending on the day.  Some contrast could be neutral or a positive contrast. For post-op situation, I think positive contrast is so desirable. In pelvis, especially looking for peritoneal disease, local recurrence in GYN malignancy, it's so important to have a good bowel of pacification. It makes all the difference in detecting that subtle abnormality. So here, I'm going to show you an example of a rectal cancer which is invading into seminal vesicle. It's so much easier when the rectum is distended. This is a peritoneal implant, which we can miss it. If the bowel is not opacified, you know, when bowel is opacified and you can see those peritoneal implants, you know, the other year, these are obvious but subtle peritoneal disease. Omental changes can be tough if bowel is not opacified. This is one such example where a linear dysplastica, gastric infiltrative gastric cancer can be missed when stomach is not distended. Only way this case was diagnosed with peritoneal disease outside. So having a good bowel opacification, here you can look at the same case. Not easy to interpret, much easy with small bowel loop being opacified. So oral contrast is critical for detecting small pelvic tumor, peritoneal disease or also differentiating normal from abnormal. I want to show you example. This is a post-op case, APR, post-APR, patient was having fever. They wanted to look if there is a leak. This study was done without rectal contrast. And, you know, a resident overnight said that this is an absence, this is a leak.   This is probably a bowel loop. Let's give some rectal contrast and re-image and you can see what a difference it does. You have a rectal contrast, you're extremely confident that it's not a leak because the plan was to put a catheter, you know, unnecessary. In a post-op setting, you don't want to add more morbidity for the patient. So very easy to make that determination. So if you are in doubt where you are, you know, on the fence with oral contrast, I would say the areas that all the topics that I have put in bold are the ones you should definitely use oral contrast. I think lung, breast cancer, you can ignore it, maybe not. For HCC, prostate cancer, lymphoma, renal tumor, I think it's optional. We are not using oral contrast for these indications.  Having learned that, I think IV contrast, we all know it's so valuable. But that's not the questionnaire. The question is the timing, your protocol. That dictates how effective will be your staging, how effective will be your diagnosis. Now, I want to share this case of a patient who is high risk for HCC. We scan the patient at 18 seconds from the time of initiation of contrast, then at 25 seconds and at 35 seconds. What you see that at 18 seconds, even though AOTA is enhancing very well, you don't see much in the liver.  So if your timing is wrong, your staging is wrong. So knowing that what is the right timing is critical. This is a portal menous phase exam in a patient where we were not suspecting pancreatic cancer. And as you can imagine, there is this hypodense lesion was missed initially. I think we were reviewing the study for something else. This patient had nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. The urologist came to me and said, hey, this patient has some nonspecific symptoms. You don't see any recurrence. And I said, I don't see a recurrence. But I see that the pancreatic duct is slightly prominent and there is some heterogeneity in this area. I'm worried this patient has a pancreatic cancer. So this patient was diagnosed with unsuspected pancreatic cancer. The patient had a resection, negative margin, no metastases and did well for almost seven years after resection. But this could have been missed. The timing of contrast is so critical. The point I want to make is knowing the clinical indication and using the right protocol is essential for you to be more effective in care delivery. So this case, understandable, we were not suspecting pancreatic cancer. So to understand protocol, let's look at these contrast enhancement curve. I won't bore you with a lot of discussion on this. What I want to tell you is on the X and Y axis, you can have the time, you have enhancement and these are the curves. So if you start here at zero, at certain time, pulmonary arteries will enhance first, followed by aeoda. Then you will see a liver will enhance much later and then we will see the portal venous phase and this is for arteries for runoff. These curves tells you what, based on the clinical indication, what your timing should be for arterial phase acquisition. Why did I say arterial phase acquisition? Because portal venous phase is much longer. It's the arterial phase where the window is much narrow. Getting the right time in liver, for example, as I said, 35 seconds, somewhere between 35 to 40 seconds is the better window. If you scan earlier, you will get an angiogram, but it won't be a great image for hepatic arterial dominant phase. These curves, just to show you, like if you're looking at aeoda, what should be the timing if you're doing empiric delay for liver, what should be your timing, how much additional seconds you need to add to get the right timing. And again, timing matters mainly for arterial phase because the window of opportunity is narrow there. For portal venous phase, you will not get wrong. You have almost more than a one-minute window for portal venous phase. As you can see, portal venous phase is much longer and delayed phase, whether you are at 3 minutes, 5 minutes, no one cares. So it's mainly the arterial phase. As long as you remember that part, that's great. The good news is we don't have to memorize these things. We can pre-program using these power injectors, which has a great operating system. You can pre-program all your protocols. So if it is pancreas protocol, the technologist can use that. The power injector will deliver that much dose of contrast at a rate and the scanner can synchronize when we need to scan. I know this is a busy slide. I'm going to give you some time to understand how the protocols are important. The timing for acquisition is important. So let's look at it. When we are looking at angiograms or hypervascular lesion in pancreas, we scan a little bit earlier anywhere from 20 to 30 seconds from the time of start of injection. For liver, the contrast arrives in liver about 10 to 15 seconds later. So the timing is 30 to 40 seconds for liver lesion, hypervascular liver lesions. For pancreas, what you're trying to do is for pancreatic adenocarcinomas, you want to maximize pancreatic enhancement. Pancreatic cancer tends to be hypodense. So in the pancreatic phase, the arteries, the veins are well opacified and the tumor just stands out. And portal venous phase, I won't spend time that's much easier. Delayed phase is not a big deal when we need excretory phase. Again, you have a great window and certain indication. One can do, especially for bladder cancer, you can do 10 to 15 minutes delay. Now, one additional point I want to share with you is we rely heavily on the arterial phase for detection, but we also need to look at the venous phase. So for example, HCC, the diagnostic criteria doesn't rely on arterial phase only. Washout is equally important because you can imagine there are many benign lesion, you know, adenomas, FNHs, shunts, they will all light up in arterial phase. And they can occur in chronic liver disease patients, but they won't washout. So washout is important. What does washout means? If the lesion that is enhancing more than background, that is called arterial phase enhancement. If the lesion turns darker than background, that is considered washout. So that defect is important because every lesion will de-enhance. So they will be lighter than arterial phase, but washout means defect and that's the ominous sign. More than the arterial phase, it's the washout which has more than 90% specificity and that is linked to angiogenesis, the leakiness of the vessel. In large patients, and as we know, there are a lot of cancer patients who are obese, especially pancreatic cancer, it is prudent because of the higher blood volume you add about 20 cc's more contrast and add additional 5 second delay to compensate for higher blood volume. So that's a simple message I want to give you. It's just a little bit more contrast, takes you a long way and some delay, extra delay helps you with better image quality.


What they gonna do with me now? I'm still a talk of the town Talking to the sisters, I'm hooking them down Reaching the smiles and the frowns again Hey guys, so we got a new episode of Talk of the Town And today we have a special guest Tokyo Vanity Hey So we're gonna say artist first and then TV star, right? Thanks Okay Do you have to correct people sometimes Or they starting to get the picture Yeah, sometimes because people be trying to act Like if you blew up with one thing God, if you answer one thing That like you can't be into other stuff I got had a red girl tell me one time She's like Oh, I didn't even know you took music I was like, well then we should stop taking music Seriously, I got to play to you now Well, but I'm sure music would help That's what I'm feeling She's like, oh, I thought you just do Instagram I said, well then you need to start doing Instagram Like something Okay So like, so pandemic happened Did that affect you in any way?

Hello everyone, welcome to Options with Doug, streaming live daily on Bookmap Discord and the Bookmap YouTube channel at 1.30pm Eastern Time. Before I get started, I need to go through the Disclosures. General Disclosure, all Bookmap limited materials, information, and presentations are for educational purposes only and should not be considered specific investment advice nor recommendations. Risk Disclosure, trading futures, equities, and options involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The focus of my presentation and the focus of the Options-Doug chat channel and Discord is options, order flow, the impact of options markets on stocks and futures, and the influence of market maker hedging flow on price action. Have a two-step process for trading and the first is planning, and I use positional analysis. I look at how traders and market makers are positioned at the options market and how those positions change from day to day to develop a thesis regarding the expected trading range for the day, volatility, as well as a directional bias. And the second step of my process is execution. And I look at real-time order flow in Bookmap and real-time market maker hedging flow in Spot Gamma Hero to confirm my thesis and for setups for entries and exits. And that part I just said about confirm your thesis was important today. Alright, just to be clear, I am looking again at the options market to develop a thesis for the day and is the basis for my analysis. That does not mean I'm necessarily trading options. Now I'm just looking at an underlying. So for example, if I'm looking at the S&P 500, I'm going to be talking about either SPI or ES, but that any trade that I talk about can be taken any number of ways with S&P 500 futures with ES futures, with SPI shares, with SPI options, or SPX options. That just depends on how you want to trade. Again, I'm just looking at the options market as the basis for my analysis. And then I'll be looking at a variety of underlines, also stocks like Tesla and Nvidia. And any trades that I mentioned, again, can be taken with shares or options. Alright, then finally, questions and comments are welcome. And I will be watching both the options-dog chat channel and Discord, and the chat and YouTube for questions and comments. Alright, let's get started. And what I want to talk about today, my agenda for today, quickly go over news items, the news that was released this morning, economic data, as well as data coming up tomorrow. And then after that, I'll go through my positional analysis for the day, both for the S&P 500 and for stocks. And then finally, I'll talk about some setups. Alright, so first of all, economic data that came out today, the GDP, was a little bit lower than expected, and jobless claims in line, not a big market mover. And then tomorrow the PCE comes out, and that is apparently the Fed's preferred inflation indicator, so that could be a market mover tomorrow. And that's at 8.30 a.m. Eastern time, and then also there's a consumer sentiment number that comes out at 10 a.m. So that's tomorrow, something to be aware of. Alright, let's go ahead and start with our positional analysis now. And I'm going to take a look at the S&P 500 futures, and this is the ES futures in book map, and I'm showing data from the open yesterday afternoon. Just the beautiful uptrend, up until the RTH open, just this nice steady, mechanical uptrend, and then kind of a choppy downward moving session after that, starting around 10 a.m., something like that. Okay, so before I go into this chart and talk about anything else, I'm going to take a look at a larger time frame, and I'm going to go to the SPX, that's the S&P 500 index, and I'm just showing price and spot gamma levels. This is a thinkorswim chart, again just showing SPX price, this is a 20-day one-hour chart, and the levels on here again are spot gamma levels. These are provided to spot gamma subscribers for a variety of platforms, and just to point out a couple of key levels here. This is the put wall, that's the strike with the largest net negative gamma, that can be expected to act as support, and here is the 4000 level, that is the absolute gamma strike, the strike with the largest absolute gamma, as well as the volatility trigger, and the volatility trigger is spot gamma's proprietary gamma flip level. With market makers position below the volatility trigger is negative gamma, their position on the gamma curve, and that means that they have to trade with price to hedge their delta exposure, and that tends to enhance volatility, and then above that level, market makers position on the gamma curve is positive, and in a positive gamma environment they have to trade against price to hedge their delta exposure, and that tends to subdue volatility, so you can see the SPX is clearly above the volatility trigger, and let's take a look at, there's one other level that I want to point out on this chart, then we'll take a look at a shorter time frame, and here is the 4065 level, and that's the call wall, the strike with the largest net positive gamma, and that can be expected to act as resistance. Alright, let's take a closer look at the SPX now, so we can see the levels that are in play for today, so this is another thinkorswim chart, and this is a one day, one minute chart, and this is showing up until about, oh 1130 or so, price was bouncing up and down around the 4050 level, which was noted as resistance in the spot gamma AM founders note, and also above the expected move for the week, that's this purple line for SPX, and now price is moving lower, it broke below both the 4050 level and the upper edge of the expected move, and now it looks like it might have found some, at least maybe temporary support at the zero gamma level, and that's just what it sounds like, the level with the zero gamma, at least based on the beginning of the day, market makers position at the beginning of the day. Alright, so those are the levels that are in play for today, let's go back to book map now, and I have the same levels on this chart, shown in a couple of columns, the first is the spot gamma cloud notes, again provided to spot gamma subscribers for book map users in the form of cloud notes, and this is showing combo levels, which combine SPX and SPY into one level, converted to an equivalent SPX number, and then converted to an equivalent ES number, and right now spot gamma is using a 30 point difference between ES and SPX, and that's about right, that's what I calculated as well. So there's the combo 4052 level, and there's also the 4050 resistance level, and now price is right around the 4034 zero gamma level, and I have another column of notes here, these are my cloud notes, and note the upper edge, the expected move here, and this is for ES, so it's going to be a little bit different than the upper edge of the expected move for SPX, and so the levels are in play, the 4052 level, the 4050, and now the 4034 zero gamma level, again those are SPX numbers, and let's just move down the chart and see what is coming up, so below that is ES 4050, then the SPY 400 key gamma strike, that's also the volatility trigger, and then the 410 support level, and that was noted as support in the spot gamma AM founders note, as well as the 400 level, and we'll talk more about this when I talk about setups in a few minutes, so that's the SP500, and there were quite a few shifts and levels, all higher, all bullish, for SPY the volatility trigger shifted higher, zero gamma level shifted higher, and the call wall shifted higher as well to 405 from 402 yesterday, so that is the SPY, that's bullish, I interpreted that as bullish at the beginning of the day, and then for QQQ even more bullish, volatility trigger, call wall, and key gamma strike all moved up, so for QQQ the key gamma strike moved up from 300 to 310 yesterday, and then the call wall moved up from 310 yesterday to 320, so again in pre-market planning bullish for QQQ as well, alright let's take a look at the absolute gamma levels now, and we'll be able to see where those levels come from, so this is part of spot gamma, and these are the, let me go up, this is the absolute gamma levels for SPX, and this is the zero line above this line, this is positive gamma or call gamma shown with the black bars, and below the zero line that is negative gamma or put gamma shown with the teal bars, and this is showing that the 4000 level is the absolute gamma strike, the key gamma strike, and 3800 down here that's the put wall, the strike with the largest net negative gamma, and there's something interesting here, these first of all this is the call wall the 4065 level, and that is the call strike, the short call strike of the JP Morgan collar that expires tomorrow, and JP Morgan will be rolling that collar out tomorrow, and the interesting thing here is note the increase in size of these two black bars, now this is at the beginning of the day, and this is an indication as price is moving up, the gamma at those strikes is increasing, so the 4050 level and the 4065 level, and again remember this is based on open interest and gamma weighted, so the gamma is increasing at those strikes, and those are both resistance levels, could act as a magnet for price as well, alright so that is spy SPX, let's take a look at spy, the same thing, positive gamma or call gamma above the zero line shown with the black bars, and negative gamma or put gamma shown below the zero line with the teal bars, and here's the 400 key gamma strike or absolute gamma strike, the put wall at 390, and then now the call wall has moved up to 405, put wall support and call wall resistance, and then this key gamma strike 400 can act as support resistance or a magnet for price, and one other thing that I want to take a look at, a couple of other things actually, first of all this is the combo strikes, combining gamma for SPX and spy into one number converted to an equivalent SPX number, and again positive gamma or call gamma above the zero line, negative gamma or put gamma below the line, and notice first of all the increase in call gamma here, this is in contrast to, oh the past weeks where the, in the combo levels the put gamma has dominated, and now the call gamma appears to be dominated, dominating especially at this 4064 strike, and again that is, you know might as well be 4065, again the call wall for SPX, and we'll see when we look at the data in just a minute that the SPX is in a positive gamma environment, market makers position on the gamma curve where SPX is positive, then one other thing to look at is this open interest, and there's put data, and let's take a look at call data, so this is the 4050 strike, and recall that up above we looked at the large black bar, the call gamma, and notice there was some pretty significant open interest change at the 4050 level, and not so much at the 4065 level, that's just that increase in the size of that bar is primarily due to the increase in gamma, and that is, and that is expiring tomorrow, so gamma is greatest at the money at expiration, all right let's take a look now at NASDAQ, and for QQQ remember all the shifts higher, so now the key gamma strike, the absolute gamma strike is at 310, and the 300 level is the put wall, and 320 the call wall, all right let's take a look at the data now, and I'm going to focus on the gamma notional this is market makers position on the gamma curve, and note it is positive for SPX shown in the left column here, still negative for spy shown in the middle column, and now I shifted positive for QQQ shown in the far right column, and what this means is let's start with a negative gamma environment for spy, market makers for spy market makers position on the gamma curve is negative, and that means that traders are long puts, market makers are short puts, and they have to sell futures as price decreases to hedge their delta exposure, and then in a positive gamma environment that means, or at least spot gamma assumes that traders are short calls, market makers are long calls, and they have to sell futures as price increases to hedge their delta exposure, and as price drops they can buy back their short future, so in a positive gamma environment again they're trading against price to hedge their delta exposure, and these levels did shift all more positive or less negative today, so for SPX, yesterday gamma notional was minus 264, and it has shifted positive to plus 275 today, yesterday spy gamma notional was minus 1601, today it's minus 923, and then QQQ shifted from minus 232 yesterday to positive 114 today, all right let's take a look at the gamma, the Vana models now that provide a graphical illustration of this, and I will tell you that spot gamma noted that they did change the algorithm for this, and I need to begin to this more and more, and I think it appears to be that the black line now is more indicative of the the way market makers will be hedging, so notice the slight tilt upward indicating market makers delta notional shown on the vertical axis will increase as price increases, and that is the again showing that in a positive gamma environment that they will be trading against price to hedge their delta exposure, let's take a look at spy, and just the opposite again remember that spy gamma notional was still negative indicating market makers delta notional delta exposure will increase as price decreases, and they have to sell futures to hedge their delta exposure as price drops, and then finally let's take a look at QQQ, so a very neutral environment for QQQ, all right that is the, that's my positional analysis for the indices primarily the S&P 500, and now for stocks, what I do is I track the key daily levels, I just look at for a quick view, I look at the key gamma strike for all the stocks in my watch list, and I track the current key gamma strike shown of the D column, that's for today, and compare it with the previous key gamma strike that's from yesterday, and then I color code the numbers indicating whether it increased or decreased green means that it increased from the previous day, and red indicates that it decreased from the previous day, so remember yesterday my thesis for AMD and Microsoft was bearish, and that led to good short setups at least for part of the day for both those stocks, and then for today my thesis was bullish for QQQ, NVIDIA, Netflix, and Microsoft, and we'll see today, it really only worked out for NVIDIA, so again remember what I said at the beginning, I always use order flow and hedging flow to confirm my thesis, and let's just take a look at NVIDIA for an example in equity hub, this is part of spot gamma, this is a tool that's available to spot gamma subscribers, and this is what I look at in the morning when I'm doing my planning and positional analysis for stocks, so I'm going to look at NVIDIA for example, and again remember the first note was the increase in the key gamma strike from 250 to 270, so a pretty good jump in the key gamma strike, also an increase in the call wall from 270 to 275, and then finally an increase in the put wall from 250 to 260, so three key levels all increasing, I definitely interpreted that as bullish, it was looking for long setups in NVIDIA, all right so that's just an example, I go through that for every stock on my watch list, and I fill out another spreadsheet that feeds my cloud levels for each stock, all right so let's go take a look, we'll start with NVIDIA, and the first thing I want to take a look at is the spot gamma hero, and for those of you who may not be familiar with this chart, this is a another tool available to spot gamma subscribers, it's called hero hedging impact of real-time options, and it is showing options trades and market maker hedging flow, and I have the signal, the hero signal separated out into calls and puts, and these lines are shown in terms of delta, so the call line indicates the rising orange line indicates that traders are buying calls, that's a positive delta trade, and a rising blue line indicates that market makers or traders are selling puts, and again that's a positive delta position, and when traders buy calls and or sell puts, market makers are taking the opposite side of those trades, and they have to buy stock to hedge their delta exposure, and I'd always like to look for a call buyers, when I'm looking for a long setup in a stock, I'm looking for call buyers, that's a very powerful force that can continue to help price move higher, again traders buying calls, market makers are selling the calls, they have to buy stock to hedge their delta exposure, and as price continues to increase, market makers have to continue to buy stock to hedge their delta exposure, so this was the setup in Nvidia, let's go take a look at book map now, here's Nvidia, I'm going to zoom in on the morning, so this is the morning session, notice the, we saw by the rising orange line, traders were buying calls, also aggressive buyers were in here buying as well, that's shown by the rising cumulative volume delta CVD line, as well as all the green dots here, the volume dots are showing buy minus sell orders, and a green dot means they're more buy orders than sell orders, and you can see clearly the green dots are dominating, and this price action is pretty typical of Nvidia, choppy in the morning, at least for the third, around the first 30 minutes, and there were finally a couple of long setups before 10am, it looked like price was going to go higher, and it reversed back down, and then began to move higher around 1015, there was a retest of VWAP, and then move up to the primary target at the 275 call wall, which did act as resistance in this case, as expected, so then there were a couple of ways to play this, again remember I'm just talking about an underlying, the easiest way really was to just buy a call, buy and at the money call at 272, 50 delta, and that was good for $150 per contract, up to the 275 level, and instead of sitting here watching all this chop, and trying to find the correct entry point you could either buy the call, or just have a wide stop, and forget about it, and move on, look for the next setup, either way, so that's what worked today for Nvidia, all right let's take a look at some of the other stocks now that I mentioned as potential bullish candidates, let's go to Microsoft, and clearly that did not work out, all right let's go back to Hero, and just while we're here let's take a look at the total signal, which was also bullish up until about 1030, all right so that's Nvidia, let's go take a look at Microsoft now, and Microsoft, order flow and hedging flow did not confirm a bullish setup, we can zoom in on the morning, and Hero there was a slight pop in Hero, or slight move a higher in Hero, but as it turns out the setup in videos we just saw was much better, and then right around 10am Hero shifted lower, and then price continued to chop around until about 1030, and then then finally move lower, not much there in Microsoft, and I don't have this on my main computer, but Netflix was also had strong signals, Key Gamma Strike, Call Wall, and Put Wall all increased, and if we have time at the end I'll go take a look at Netflix on my other computer, it was there was a sharp move up, up until about 10am that a reversal lower, and Hero was showing that traders were taking negative delta positions, and price started moving lower, and before that until 10am there was a was a good long setup, probably right here around 940, up until 10, let's take a look at QQQ, and again remember that all these stocks that I'm looking at now had an increase in the Key Gamma Strike, that's why I'm looking at them first, and here for QQQ the hedging flow definitely did not confirm along, traders were, options traders were fading this move higher, and let's see what they were doing with puts and calls, and this is pretty typical of the indices, traders not doing much with calls, they're actually selling calls, and the S&P 500 they typically buy calls and buy puts, and we'll take a look at that in a minute, typically either the call buyers are winning or the put buyers are winning, and for QQQ it's definitely put buyers driving price action, look at this notional value here for calls minus 68 million versus minus 705 million for puts, so they're selling calls and buying puts, but definitely puts driving price action and setting up a short, and it's easier to see with this total signal here who's winning, and the put buyers are definitely winning, let's go take a look at Bookmount for QQQ, so here's QQQ, not really a lot of range today, it looks like just like the S&P 500, most of the move, the easy move was before the RTH open, nice steady uptrend up until about 1030, or actually at the open then price got pretty choppy, and finally reverse lower at the 316 level, let's zoom in on that, then we'll go back to the RTH, and QQQ makes a double top, and note the, oops wrong tool, so the absorbs into that level, then a sell sweep, and then a retest of the 316 level, and the sell sweep is these small bright red dots, those are aggressive sellers, and then more absorption and other sell sweep at the 316 level, and then price heads down to the 315 large Gamma 1 level, and there's some liquidity at that level there was, and then the 314 Combo 4 level, so these numbers indicate the significance of the Gamma at that level, and one being the highest, and five being the lowest, still not a lot of range in QQQ today, all right, so that is, those are the stocks that I was initially tagged as bullish, given the increase in the increase in the key Gamma strike, and again, the one that really only worked out as expected was NVIDIA, all right, let's take a look at the S&P 500 now, let's go back to the futures, ES futures, and let's go take a look at book map hero, and let's go to the S&P 500, I'm going to zoom in on this chart so it is showing just around the cash open at 9.30, and this is the total signal, the purple line, showing a negative hero signal from the open, traders were fading this move higher, and let's see what they were doing, so this set up a good short, that's one great thing about hero for the S&P 500, it also often provides a leading indicator of a short, and let's see what traders were doing, and as expected, buying calls and buying puts, and this is a combined signal for the S&P 500, it's combining SPX, options trades, and SPY options trades into one signal, and this is very typical of the S&P 500, traders are buying calls and buying puts, and it's just a matter of figuring out who is more aggressive, who's winning, and in this case, you can just compare the number, look at the slope of the line, or compare the numbers, and this is 1.42 billion for calls, that's the notional value versus 3.1 billion for puts, minus 3.1 billion, so the call buyers, at least in the range of this chart, the put buyers in the range of this chart are dominating, all right, so let's go back to the total signal here, I'm going to zoom in a little bit on the early session, and you can definitely use this information for setups, again, this often acts as a leading indicator of price, showing options traders are fading this move, they're buying puts, market makers have to, they're selling the puts, and they have to sell futures to hedge their delta exposure, and sometimes it takes a while for that to work out, I'm going to zoom in on, oh from the cash open until about 12.30, so that's set up a couple of shorts, and you can see the change in order flow here, notice the green dots in this area, the reversal, and then the shift to pink dots, aggressive buyers with the green dots, volume dots, and then aggressive sellers come in, move price lower, then there's a reversal higher, the shift from pink dots to green dots, and then a series of lower highs, lower highs, and price finally breaks below the 40-50 resistance level, again with aggressive sellers coming in there with the pink, the pink dots, and price finally made it down to the 40-34 zero gamma level, and a little bit below, all right, so that's a short set up in the S&P 500, again you can trade that in spy, ES, let's take a look at spy, and here I'm showing a reversal, and this may be, you know this definitely came into play as well, this 404 C1 level, again that's a combo one level, that's a significant level of gamma, and just below the 405 call wall, and also the 40-60 resistance level, slightly, slightly lower highs with each test of this 404 level, until price finally breaks lower, with a quick final test here, and notice all of the cell sweeps coming in, so buy sweeps here with these small green dots, and see the small bright red dots, that's all cell sweeps, those are aggressive sellers, so Truman asked what happens during absorption, and how does that affect the price, first of all I recommend that you go to the bookmap knowledge base, and take a look at absorption there, but the absorption is, as it's actually shown by this indicator here, this pink number within this red square that I just drew, that's absorption, and also absorption is really just an exhaustion, absorption is passive cell orders, absorbing the price, and you can see a reversal at that 404 level, that's absorption, so passive passive cell orders absorb the buy orders and price moves lower, and just looking at this in terms of spy, the 404 level was in play as resistance, and now here's the 402 level acting as support, so this range, two point range, this two point range in spy is pretty small compared to to I guess recent weeks, recent months, and remember VIX is down below 20 now, so the volatility for the day has decreased, all right so short set up in the S&P 500, again ES futures, spy shares, spy options, SPX options, all right she and I asked, do you put the gamma levels on your chart manually, and it's I guess semi-manual, what I do is I have an add-on that's available in the bookmap marketplace called price lines, and I use that, I fill out a spreadsheet every day, and I change the numbers, and this is my, I have the C levels, these cloud notes for every stock as well as futures, and I'm showing whatever I want here, so I'm using this price lines to show in this case key SPX levels, there's the 4060 resistance level, and here's the 4050 resistance level as well as the upper edge of the expected move for the week for spy, and there's the 404 C1 level, and what I do is fill out the spreadsheet every day, and I just change the level, so here's spy, here are the main levels in spy, and you can, I think you can do this on your own without this add-on, the add-on just makes it easier, and it also draws the horizontal lines, which I like, I like to see the horizontal lines, so that's where the gamma levels, that's where I'm getting the, that's how I'm showing the gamma levels on my chart for the, for stocks, all right so that's spy, now let's take a look at some other, other stocks, they were good, good setups in Tesla, up and down, and Tesla I was, was slightly bullish on Tesla as well, both the hedge wall and the put wall increased higher, and let's go take a look at hero for Tesla, and with Tesla there is a, usually a very strong correlation between options trades, hedging activity, and price action, and let's see what call buyers were doing, and there's your clue, right around 1015, 1020, you can see this orange line increasing, indicating that's a good time for a long setup, price breaks, this trend, call buyers come in, and price starts to move higher, and RJ asked, are there levels for NQ like there are for ES, and yes there are, so let's, we'll just take a look at NQ in, in just a minute, let's finish up with Tesla, and then we'll take a look at NQ, so NQ there are, Smart Gamma is using QQQ and NDX options, so there are combo levels for NQ, I, I really, I focus on QQQ, NQ is huge, there's some, like Trader HE trades NQ, he's good at it, I'm, I think if you trade NQ you probably need to just concentrate on NQ, so I, I like to trade a variety of instruments, so I, I focus on QQQ, but we'll take a look at NQ in just a minute, so let's go to book map, take a look at Tesla first, so there's Tesla, and let's zoom in on the morning session here, whoops, and pretty choppy, but general uptrend, here's the first trend break and a move higher, that's the one at 1015, let's go back and take a look at, at HERO, so there's the move at 1015, call buyers come in, we can confirm that with order flow, trend break, and a move higher, and if you miss that first move there's a, a read test back down to the 195-50 level and VWAP, and then a move higher, and so far the 197 level has been the, been the high of the day, all right let's take a look at NQ in very narrow range for NQ, so there are spot gamma levels for NQ, and this is an L2 level, and this is for NDX, the 13,000 level, and then to my C levels, I'm just showing the big round numbers, the 50s and the zeros for NQ, let's go take a look at QQQ, now if, for somebody who traded NQ on a regular basis, NQ futures, I would figure out the, the ratio between QQQ and NQ, and put the QQQ levels on this chart, and see how well NQ responds, QQQ responds to those levels, here resistance just around the 316 level, and support so far at the 314 level, so if you trade NQ I would figure out the ratio for NQ to QQQ, it's around 40, and then mark those QQQ levels on your chart, all right there were a couple of other good setups that I really didn't have a, a plan for, but let's take a look at them, and the first was Amazon, and sometimes it's just hard to track everything, there's so many, there's so many, so many stocks, and you know I'm only one person, so it's, it's hard to find everything, I think SpotGamma is going to implement some additional alerts that may help finding stocks like this, I think that's supposed to come out at the beginning of April, so maybe next week we'll see that, but anyway here is Amazon, nice move up, let's take a look at Hero, and for Amazon strong confirmation between hedging flow and price action, call buyers, driving price action, notice how price, price moves up as long as traders are buying calls, and then when they stop buying calls, price levels off, Hero basically flattens out, and price levels off, so good move right, right in the morning, first thing in the morning, right, another one was Meta, it took a while for, for options traders to get going here, let's separate outputs and calls, so total signal was, or breaking out calls and puts provided stronger confirmation, traders are, in the morning, they were buying calls, let's go take a look at, at BookMap for Meta, very strong uptrend of the morning, price target at 208, notice all the liquidity at that level, and that liquidity attracts price, I'm going to zoom in on this first part, notice all the buy sweeps in here, all these small green dots, and also the bullish order flow, shown by the increasing cumulative volume delta, and also all the green volume dots, up until about 1030, just below the 208 price target, right, the last one that I want to take a look at, is Snowflake, and I added this stock a while ago, and recently it really, I hasn't done much, and somehow, today it really took off, not sure why, maybe it was in the news, I'll have to check on that later, but, you know, super uptrend in the morning, you know, if you had any information, any thoughts about Snowflake, the thing to do was just to buy a call, and price briefly hesitated at the 140 call wall, the key gamma strike, and then moved right up to the liquidity at 145, making for a great long, great long call, let's just go take a look at Hero, now there were no changes in the key gamma levels for Snowflake, so sometimes watching those key daily levels doesn't work, it usually does, but sometimes no, right, we'll take a look at Snowflake and then wrap it up, and very strong correlation between options trades, hedging flow and price action, and traders were buying calls, and there's your clue, and one other thing to point out, one potential clue, this morning, this trending list does change during the day, but Snowflake was on this list in the morning, shown in green, and then also, this is the way, this is my watch list down below, and this is the way it looked in the morning, now I post this in Discord, just in alphabetical order, but when I sorted this, this morning it was in the same order, and what I'm looking at, I'm ranking it by hero signal, this is the hero signal, and what this is showing is the strength of the hero signal compared to the last 30 days, and the last five days, so it's a little bit easier to see here, maybe in Snowflake I have that highlighted, there's a slider that's shown in this little bit darker section, that's showing the comparing the hero signal for the last 30 days, and then the colored portion shows the hero, compares the current hero signal to the last five days, so this is showing that the hero signal for Snowflake is higher than it has been in the last five days, and probably in the 80th, 90 percentile for the last 30 days, so a strong hero signal worth looking at if you didn't have any other plans, that's another way of approaching this, looking at these trending stocks, looking, ranking by hero signal, let's go back to book map, so Snowflake, great long setup, probably the best long setup this morning, in the stock to my watch list anyway, and let's just wrap it up, we'll take a quick look at the S&P 500, so it looks like that SPY 402 level and the 4034 SPX 4034 zero gamma level did hold the support, all right that's all I have for today, that is that's it, I want to thank you for watching, thanks for your questions and comments, and remember tomorrow the PCE number comes out at 8 30 a.m eastern time, and we'll talk about that during my session tomorrow afternoon, so again thanks for watching, thanks for your questions, comments, and I will see you tomorrow, thanks bye.
