Good morning everybody, welcome back to another streams. I'm sorry about that Thumbnail is keeping back up on me so I'm very much eluding. Rarity on RT or whatever you call it. Okay enough about that. Let's get started with today. It starts from Friday. Friday we sort of said prices will turn downwards and we sort of wrote about that. We ended up getting that slam straight down on that sort of range and we just kept below the daily imbalance and the retest there on the sort of Asian session and it just led to that sort of steady and gradual sort of dying down over until London's sort of current sort of trading session where we exploded off off of and it's pretty easy sort of if you're awake during London session it was a pretty easy get. It came down so sold everything into sort of heavy sort of pressure-wise and from that it sort of ends up saying oh yeah cool I'm selling really heavily I mean I'm here I'm proud hey it's this is look at me pretty much and you just see that coming back to that second place giving you a nice little long-term sort of double bottom and then this remembers that was what we were looking for essentially as spring type action it's off of that sort of double bottom here and potential so long and again it is kind of a bummer that it had been during London session so I know most of you guys are not awake during then but this is why you should have either a mental illness like me or be an insomniac also like me so you're awake for these. Let's go over and discuss sort of ES. ES is pretty interesting and what I mean by that is it held during the session and we talked about the possibility of it being bullish and it was to some extent bullish but not entirely and that being through sort of this lens here you can see they just sort of consolidated on that Friday where as Bitcoin did 10 downwards and that sort of sort of was another sort of snap in sort of Bitcoin's favor to say oh you know what if it 10 that way Bitcoin needs to go into the same direction at some point because you can't always just go in both of ES because they usually want to run together if they haven't been running together for a very long time they usually want to snap back. Is there any free site like Heatmap? Yeah Bookmap has Bookmap web.Bookmap.com sign in, you can use Heatmap. It's a bit cluggy but it does the job if you're on a page so if you want free there you go that's the only place to get it from the only place I'd recommend it. Yeah I'll log in to account that so free there you go this is a free account it has it has nothing it just it's just exists so as you see you don't need to pay for it and then you get to watch it. You get multi book, you get Binance, Binance Futures, you just click on that it's live, do it live, there you go. Okay depending on your sister might run a bit slow but I think she's run slow as period but and you can't sort of change the contrast input that's not support liquidation and the asset-added liquidations which is pretty nice as you can see here if I go to ETHUSDT you get a liquidation indicator. It's just nice improving this web one which is which is commendable I think they just trying to grow them. Oh you're on the link? Sure, should be that, click on it. Shelly gave you a nice little double bottom came back to this area so it's a very sort of easy sort of trade and nice little sort of deviations you see here you pull up the punts here and just sort of explodes now sort of trying to define the sort of range and actually see if we will sort of escape it and so from there I mean if we grab here and here call this a square, here's our sort of range in terms of from the consolidation and the reason why I think I'm picking this over sort of this and then we can extend this out I mean this is where we really had the sort of change of character so we can ideally start from this as a low and this becomes high and then you're gonna stretch it up to here but reactively I think we can sort of just say this is where we'd want it but I mean you can you can sort of chalk it up to variance and then just call it up to here I mean either or it's not too bad I mean 1800, not too bad of a number to call it at the top of the range if you're looking out from swing to swing there we go and the reason why you want to sort of grab this sort of correct sort of swing and I think maybe even try grab here but I think this region's generally a bit better again it's just now comes to sort of variance and the reason why I'm picking that is because of skin new day it's just much easier to sort of say let's just grab that and it's reactive as you can see this is reactive here here and and so on hopefully so here the reason why you'd want to sort of have some sort of reaction is just show and understand sort of okay premiums here so this is where you'd ideally want to sell into buying into sort of this sort of downwards movement here has to improve training really strongly there so it's about so it's trading consistency comes from having a plan in sticking with it it's a lot about patience I think this is why I mean if you're sort of really struggling for patience the training sessions this sort of this all it does is highlights three sessions I think using those as trading guides let's say you're only awake for two of them you only can trade two of them and it teach you patience so let's say so the rule is with these issues if you're new and you don't have any patience you can't trade when it's setting up its range you only can trade stop hunts of ranges and sort of movements within the range well outside of this outside outside of when it's sort of setting up so you won't be able to trade this move unless you got it from London and so on but what it will teach you is patience and that's the main thing a lot of a lot of sort of training is being able to sort of sit on your hands and and it also will allow you to sort of say you know what just so you don't miss a set another move like this it'll make sure you sort of keep say if you entered into here you sort of keep your positions for longer and say ah hey you know what maybe if this continues to go down within the session I want to keep it because I don't want to re-enter there's a lot about for your counseling you get better that is also not a bad idea as well I mean the idea of losing money itself is is not something most people are keen on but blowing up account is is usually a fast way of learning love for five accounts and you should get there but it's not you shouldn't blow up accounts for the sake of blowing them up you should like under identify what went wrong and usually it's just due to lack of patience and not having sort of a clear defined strategy it doesn't matter what strategy you use realistically like some strategies are decent I mean most strategies rather are decent enough where you can get some level of success what really matters for profitability is understanding and defining risk and having proper risk management like if you look at sort of what went wrong was I'll made it and why everyone's laughing at them is because they didn't have a defined risk and they say I was a stop loose who was that that's the main thing you want to you want to look to is have a set strategy and it doesn't matter what people say about it like I trade one way you trade another that doesn't matter as long as at the end of the day you can define a proper risk and from that risk you have some level of success and you really need to have a you can have 45% and still be profitable that's the thing if you have proper good risk management and your wrist reward is really great because you can you're much tight I mean let's say you got this long here you saw this from a mile away you put your stop loss here there's a very sort of tight stop losses so you're not gonna get knocked out you're happy about it even if you get knocked out you're not too fast because you're not putting everything you're saying okay you know what if I get stopped I stopped out that's 1% loss here and whatever gain relative here is is is your risk towards and let's say that's that looks about what five to one they're about so you're gaining 5% that 1% loss it's easy like that hey rain hey hey it's Bruce here yeah hey Bruce hey how are you doing I'm doing good how are you I'm okay I'm okay good to hear your well so I wanted to show you you guys something that we came up with I don't know if rain has already showed it and it would only take a few minutes here of your time rain but I wanted to go through it so we released and maybe if you could share my screen I've shared yeah yeah there you go okay and so we released this for crypto it's it's a fantastic indicator already that we already released previously let me show you the liquidation indicator here however there's a lot more now that we've created so it's on the bookmap knowledge base here and if you go to bookmap.com and then slash knowledge base then go to the add-on section here and then the liquidation indicator here this is an amazing indicator there's a video we released this a while back there's some really key updates though and that's what I want to go over here with you guys so now for bookmap 7.3 and 7.4 it now works with the bookmap multi book product so this is bookmap data we're actually the data provider and that you can create that or add the liquidation indicator on your created synthetic instrument here so for example we're looking at this BTC USDT the perpetual for multi book and it is four three different exchanges so you're looking at data all combined from three different exchanges here Binance Futures Bybit and OKEX okay and you're looking at the liquidations here from those three exchanges here right so this is amazing I mean look at this drop to the downside here and we see it's for well if we zoom out a little bit it will aggregate it together almost three hundred thousand dollars in liquidations on this way down and three hundred thousand on the way up as well just right in here so people are getting just hammered here just hammered in crypto right so I mean would they have any other way I mean it is the wild wild west yeah I mean it's insane what's going on in here I know obviously with the with the news that's out yeah yeah I mean crypto.com as well yeah so so anyway now this is what I want to cover here so the Bitcoin or the perpetual multi book instruments here offer liquidation the liquidation indicator on 7.3 now the interesting thing here I'm looking I'm accessing bookmap 7.4 which is alpha okay if you're interested in that we offer this now on 7.4 where you can add historical data here so if you want to you know you're looking for backfill data and you want to add some in here like another hour here and I load it here by zooming all the way out and clicking on this button over here see how it's loading more data right now up here and then just a minute here and we're gonna see not only more data we're gonna see more liquidations in here as well so this is really cool to be able to see and add this data when you start up your bookmap okay so here now you can see that that square is not here anymore so I can just use my center mouse wheel and zoom out and still loading some here so hold on just a minute and then we'll see there it is okay and I don't see any oh there they are see the liquidations here yeah yeah I think that's all one of the other things I was complaining about about the liquidations like are you know if I if I switch my PC off I don't see it but the thing is I rarely switch my computer off so it's like I rarely switch bookmap off but like is it off the off chance that I do it's just so someone's asking will it be possible to load liquidation indicator with the digital version at some point yeah so so so anyway we're we're we're getting there with it and then also I want to show this here on the web yeah web version here okay so it's offered here as well this is free yeah you need to sign up though for it for bookmap and you need to log in let me show you where you can find liquidation and the instruments that support it and you can see this little button here this is the liquidation indicator here the one that has a little fire on it okay that's where you find the indicator and that's where you can find the different settings here so when you hover over here and you go to multi book here the multi book product okay that's on the web here which is like again this is amazing in my opinion I mean these this is all free this is our data it is multiple exchanges here and you can see that the little fire icon down oops hold on down here on these instruments notice that they're all the perpetual instruments they offer the liquidation indicator here for free and you can zoom out here quite a bit so you can zoom out to one month of data in here and here it is so if you want to see that meltdown and I mean it's just incredible what's going on right now in crypto and you can see like millions of dollars in here you know being being liquidated on some of these moves so anyway please check it out play around with those tools here you can see 1.3 million here on this move to the upside before the move to the downside yeah quick question from someone is they asking how are the liquidations pulled from the day are you privy to that yeah I mean the exchange is disseminating that information it's amazing I don't know why I mean but they are they're just playing it from straight from the exchange yeah yeah and there's only specific exchanges that off yeah yeah so so just note that and that's why like you know for example I think it's up here Binance futures for sure is doing it but yeah I'm not sure if by bit or okay which one's doing it there but anyway play around with it guys this is pretty cool to see in my mind this is just an unbelievable amount of trans market transparency here because you're seeing not just stop runs here I mean these aren't stop yeah liquidation they're way worse these are people getting margin calls because they do not have enough margin to cover themselves and the exchange is just saying sorry you're you were exiting your position due to your liquidation so anyway I don't sorry rain I don't I wanted to come in here I've been meaning to do this for a yeah yeah and cover this with you guys really pretty pretty amazing stuff now that is you get the historical version on 7.4 or the historical data for the liquidations and then this also works on 7.3 for multi book and 7.4 for multi book and there's obviously the web version as well yeah yeah I'm gonna jump out rain and let you continue but I did want to cover there and interrupt you guys for just a second nice no problem thank you for introducing multi book to everybody I mean liquidations for elderly liquidations and multi book to everybody I mean I've been using it I mean it's always nice I don't think I'm on version 7.4 book map just yet you know if you want that historical data for liquidations then then get it yeah if you else you can go in multiple yeah the multi book on the web version yeah I think I might just stick to the web ones just easier to my leg managers like I wait for like the beta version of 7.4 and play you know exactly it's a safe call yeah stability over sort of new shiny stuff right right up to you guys it's available though on the alpha okay thanks rain I got to go and no problems have I'll have another time yeah have a great day man okay thank you bye bye okay so that was Bruce I think head of education a book map again you guys is 12 out of liquidation and we already talked about the web dot book map so the indicator is not available unless you're a global plus member I believe that is you know let's stop quoting wrong stuff they've done that before features the features there we go yeah let's see liquidation is available for global global plus members only so if you're a digital plus member you don't have it just use the web version it's free then you can still use normal book map to do normal book map so you sometimes wake up and see Bruce in your bedroom I wish I did let's see now we saw that and Bruce showed us the liquidations that happened just on this up move that equated to all liquidation from here to here which is I find insane thinking about thinking about that really it just shows that look everyone just was in yeah let's get rid of that everyone was really anti just to show all the way down here though you're saying you know what it's gonna die it's gonna die no stop no stop nothing just liquidate me on nothing and they saw nothing they got liquidated and it's nice it's a little pop here and this sort of another sort of practice in patience let's say you're trading just using these ranges you can't trade inside a range you just have to weigh out I mean unless you get experience so you have caught the age of trade here and it did require you to be awake then you'd have kept this all the way through take profit at that sort of stop on here so you're at that 50% and we talked about how that 50% was important just purely based on that sort of a range and defining our sort of just to find the sort of pivotal point for us in terms of it being sort of the premium market and then understanding there we just took stop here take stops within premium stop on drop coming back down to some level of normalcy is what we're looking for again was range set up so we talk about the which way sat which side or which way the range is trading as you can see when we have a downwards trading and this downers led into an internal consolidation in simple outside little chuchu train we talk about that it leaves the station goes back up but it took too long so it did nothing and the longer it takes the more you're sort of looking at that and saying oh you know what at this point let me cut my losses here and then be sure only or let me say if you're awake during Asia same thing here it took to that range high and it's just traded down so you anywhere during the weekend you go said that that's an easy trade to sort of checked downwards I mean it's pretty nice pretty easy to understand that we're coming up high we're pulling down now you want to see us two similar sort of things either take this range low once it finds out it finds out 10 o'clock eastern standard time New York time for you layman's I'm joking this is not a very layman needed so it could do a stop on push down take a second top push down further and this one took a third one then finally all in the coffin there and how you sort of try and discern difference between the two is try look at sort of walls and if we're sort of having a potential source of level support present as you can see here this is a heavy long territory and we can zoom back out again and it just shows an increasing increasing number of like lungs until we zoom out too much there we go I guess this yes this so if you grab this there you go every sort of long area here there you go make that bigger as you can see just a whole sort of consolidation all of that was long all of these guys got liquidated here followed by a short liquidations after this sort of very long very long and very narrow sort of combination and sort of shorts here and was that small sort of lungs and with people being right here but generally I don't need any competition I don't need any competition oh yeah I was like what are you saying Greg that oh wait Greg's you're in my bedroom goddamn why is everyone in my bedroom nowadays so now we treat this as sort of a high point or a retesting point here I mean was that sort of small pop they just created an extra one small break here but we can sort of move this out and so just create this larger sort of structure here was more important on the straight and narrow on the beginning sort of level there so now we're sort of creating a picture for ourselves to where we potentially might want a lower price threshold or if we even if we trade back into here we sort of want ourselves to push back down take the range low around 15 400 and see if we can sort of hold that as a first sort of contention just because that's where the V app is we pulled just under the view app I crap grab a bunch of shorts and increase the number of number here then pull that back and we want to pull back into sort of the current sort of day and we pull into the current day in terms of where things are trading as you can see very much sort of heavy short here and we sort of formulate that around here to some certain degree and we also again talk about you talk about so this heavy sort of offset here but generally not sort of too bad in terms identifying this area here again this is coming in heavy long at the bottom usually more likely to fail than it is to succeed so again watch that sort of expand essentially downwards so I would be careful it would be more biased short than long I mean this sort of expression here could be nice especially if the market decides to try and rally once more reach a second double top on market open to allow volume selling because not many people get to trade during this time and only sold generous and European people mostly Asia is trading here because again it's usually really night all the way around and then slowly people start coming to around here so that's something that you want to sort of know that most of all you would not be present most of this would be done via liquidations from previous sessions let's sort of look at our sort of trend wars I mean trend lines not even trend line support and resistant lines we talked about how yes well needed a bouncer to be pushed needed get that on Friday when we talked about how it consolidated on Friday which whilst it was consolidating we had Bitcoin going down uncharacteristically again usually they want to stay together so if this was what was sideways one they would like sideways since they moved out of sync you'd expect them to move back into sync at some point so you expect Bitcoin to either consolidate back into this or catch up with this at some point let's say this continues to go up Bitcoin will go up with it as this continues to go down and probably be now meets coffin and we'll see if we can get that we're now sort of encroaching and now is a better time to look at a sort of book map on sort of inventory for today it's pretty heavy sort of short we still haven't squeezed the majority of the shorts out and at this point these are now led to be trapped so we now understand them to be trapped and any sort of increased here we'll just sort of put that now so sort of very much treat these guys as prisoners so these guys are now your support at 3962 the same as 62 for support for ES is not too bad but the thing is if we blow up we liquidate these guys this is no longer support so again it's a tentative support on the fact that we have a heavy amount of volume short so clearing out that either using either taking these stops out is is the only way you can take these guys out especially considering it's very much heavy volume we haven't got too much long in this area here so definitely consider today to be bullish for ES could could sort of uplift Bitcoin a bit but we'll see and I think it's the only bullish up until it has its fair share of liquidations so that's something you want to be careful about is once we've had that fill of liquidations we might end up reversing in terms of where we sort of want to see this projected again we do have sort of levels here sort of support levels the sort of major daily ones start all the way up at 14 no not 14 4153.03 being antique about it and before then you go 4117 and even prior to that you're 462 so you have you have quite a few levels before we reach that two levels of views statement but generally there's a double top here and it was all consoling down if we keep consolidating could bring us up here and it could be one of those sort of players that people don't expect but it ends up happening because it just purely based on the fact that game heavy short not really all the way out on the market even on the downside we got collected more short didn't really let up and we sort of pushing that so any sort of push would be relatively easy because it'll be squeezing out shorts rather than actually adding in a new position long that's a very easy move and market be easy which Asia areas so Asian you'd probably be HK KK for clothes Asia clothes we want to finance oh yeah I mean this is the pre-market range anyway it's what 5 EST to 830 market doesn't open until 830 anyway so Asian market opens here I don't care where it closes I could care less I have my range defined here that's all that matters to me so it's just about how again this self-support resistant era for Bitcoin very sparring between the sort of to and spot has a bit of a different levels here and there so we probably need to switch over to there at some point and to see if there's any in between but generally 14 5 to 2 is our sort of heavy sort of monthly support level coming from these sort of levels and and these levels work across all boards we broke through weekly in a daily here and retest that daily drop down trade that sort of into that volume shelf here as you can see these volumes are very easy to read heavy sort of longs here that first sort of pop then pushes it back down as you can see enough for our gives you that sort of nice outside structure pushes it back down again back into this volume node here as you can see this sort of center of mass starts it's here it starts about here as you can see that cascade of that sort of cell pressure and also short volume here just leading up to that sort of support and this is why I'm on the disco I said okay cool heavy volume node it's probably your double bottom and we are expecting a double bottom from Friday so it shouldn't have come as a surprise easy now we've already met some level of resistance it's now down to us to sort of say are we gonna resist that to go down you can see here they go I said or I say or break sort of catch more lungs but again we ended up back down so anything below here is now considered sort of resistance of bearishness some some level training back down to here would have been the ultimate sort of case for it as a sort of a spring secondary test so that would be the most ideal case if we bounce here but we know we might not necessarily get that as something you want to look for at some point it is on Monday we're setting up our ranges for the weekend week the whole week rather got down so you want to see which it's very important the direction of the trade because usually we can reverse it around Wednesday so if we sort of come here already on Monday we've already pretty much done everything we needed to do so that sort of leaves a span in the works so maybe we want to go high pull it back down on Tuesday and then push it back up at least we go open open yeah at least week open open yeah at least down to the week open here is I think if it's first point but worst case it's it's it's you're pushing a bit and it's here maybe 50% would be that you hear but again week open with slight overhang still thought of developing our sort of Monday low and high as you can see here currently here these are 50% to be here so again if we bounce on that it wouldn't be too bad either so as in here that's something that you want to know is come under we talked about how we had that volume in book map here present just below this area so maybe we talk about this as a first point we create some highs go up for a bit and we pull it back down and then we go from there but that's again probably better seen tomorrow nothing really too interesting other than that in the current sort of market to sort of zoom into yes sort of starting to get that sort of long into that area here that's pretty interesting again still hasn't outweighed the sort of heavy sort of shorts from the price of days so we want to look at again just looking for that that sort of heavy short to resolve soon as I resolved we can sort of drop this fish like with very high confidence other than that there's some air of not confusion there's some air of intrigue right it could it could not it's it's all a matter of yeah if they want to they want to instead of oh yeah they're probably most likely to do that again that sort of heavy long pushes down okay waiting for it to come down to some level then push it back up but again that's something that you guys can do I don't want to sit here and pull you guys to death I have much better things to do with my time and you guys probably have much better things to do with your time so it's mutually understandable that we need to part ways sometimes okay let's you see five today interesting day here there we go 1130 looks like our pivot for today so maybe if we get a directional move leading one way 11 11 to 12 is where you expect that to reverse and we normally look at that anyway it's whichever direction we usually like to do the opposite of and it happened to us I mean it was available for us a couple of days ago I think on Friday we had that sort of 130 there we go at 130 we were going up and then we said okay there we go there's our downwards movement here and you can have an easy reversal of that into that market close but again important time to sort of say if you're in a longer short to do the opposite or take profit so just mind yourself at that 11 30 to 12 o'clock sort of midday sort of reversal see other than that doesn't look like today has two important I mean you do have sort of GDP growth a quarter and quarter it could be interesting to see Japan's numbers but nothing sort of too heavy heavy effective wise had a couple of speech from in the morning but mostly 12 o'clock looks like the most interesting sort of marker so again if we are sort of dilly-dallying we go up then 11 30 comes in we're just doing that there you go not not in one fell swoop but to some certain level we should be doing that again just mind you they usually do that and it would make sense again this is now your resistance area I mean this entire thing here is very heavy sort of long so you can start from here and continue itself up to here but generally you're looking for that as a resistance even if ES pulls ES pulls up that pretty much wraps up today again sorry for being late it's just dealing with the Somnia again it just always seems to creep back but you guys should have your numbers you guys should know how to trade today so I will catch you guys tomorrow and if you guys still have many more questions showing the discord there's a lot of education in there and that should help you guys out at least for the meanwhile other than that have a lovely day guys and I will see you tomorrow peace


See a couple months ago.   I'm back Hey, how fast did you?  I kept moving around.

I tell them through our paper that But that's why I had to get in my mind that now everybody ain't gonna be his realest three No, you gotta be like that now. Yeah, I everybody didn't there was a blessing from God But that was a person who who's seen the bigger picture of being a Local rapper they take pictures at the local miles and a person who wanted to be a superstar


Welcome to course 4. This is the module on intermediate option strategies. And in this course, we are going to look at a bear put spread. In the previous two courses, we've looked at a bull call spread and a bear call spread. And in this course, we're going to look at a bear put spread. We need to focus on the word bear. So this is going to be a bearish strategy because it says so and it's going to use puts. In a bear put strategy, we are going to extend the long put just like we extended the long call to create the bull call spread. So let's jump into the option chain and my candidate for the bear put spread is Netflix. Netflix just reported earnings a day or two ago and they got blasted because of all the blunders they did last year. They seem to have lost a lot of revenues and customers. So Netflix got hammered yesterday. It went down by about $15 and today it seems to be down by another $5 or $6. When this kind of onslaught sets in, I think it will last for a few more days or weeks. So it's a good candidate for a bearish strategy. Let's look at the Netflix options. Let's look at June. So if we look at June, so now we're looking at the put side here. And if we were bearish on Netflix, we could just buy a put option. So we could buy the 75 put. We could buy the 80 put although that will have a delta of close to 50. So that might be a little too high. Perhaps the 75 put or the 70 put would be good candidates for a long put. So let's do that. Let's see what happens. Let's choose 75 strike price, 10 contracts of Netflix. And if we were just buying the 75 strike put, we would be paying a premium of $4.10. The problem with this position is if we are wrong in our outlook and if Netflix starts to go up, then we are looking at losses. So we should have a way to somewhat control that and if we can control that, then we would be required to make a compromise on the upside. So perhaps at the 65 strike price, we can maybe limit our profits there. So we can say in return for lowering my exposure to this trade, I can sell the 65 put and therefore limit my profits at 65.


Think Tech Hawaii, civil engagement lives here. Welcome to the Think Tech studios. This is Security Matters Hawaii and I'm with Gary Thomas today. We're going to get into some cloud video. We're going to get into some artificial intelligence. We're going to get into some neural networking. We're going to push him as far as he's allowed to. He is the sales director for North America with a company called Arkulis. This is a first for Hawaii to hear about Arkulis, so Gary appreciates coming in. Yeah, Andrew, thanks for having us. Absolutely. Thank you for having us. No worries. I'll start with this one question I like to ask everybody. What keeps you up at night? You're an industry veteran, man, so what worries you? What keeps me up at night, if it's not flying on red-eye flights, that keeps me up. But no, on a professional note, I think a couple of things. One is how do we make our environment or our world a safer place, right? You look around, it seems like every few weeks you've got some sort of shooting going on at one of our schools. That's obviously, it's horrible, and so the other thing is Arkulis, we're bringing to market a disruptive technology, right? So video cloud IoT as a service is changing the industry from a technology market. So keeping me up is how do we bring this to market? How do we educate customers, right, about the value proposition of moving video to the cloud, why it's more secure, and just, we're at a point right now, we're in stealth mode, but we are bringing it to market in beta now and launching it October 1st. So it's just, how do we educate customers on the product? So you have a small market, just North America to deal with. North America. Do you have South America? Yeah, we do. Did you get a small travel plan? We're focusing on North America. Good.  Yeah, so just a little about myself, been in the technology sales industry for 25, 26 years, 12 years in the IT space, and then the last 13 years in physical security. A lot of background in startups doing video analytics early on, and then more recently with a company called Milestone, which is actually a market leader in an IP video manager platform. And our company was actually spun out of Milestone Archleys, it's actually a sister company in Milestone. So I joined our company, Archleys, November last year. Awesome. Yeah, Milestone's one of the big ones, 30%, 40% market share globally? Yeah, I'm not sure the exact market share, but there are worldwide market leaders for like 10 straight years. It's a Canon company. It's one of our favorite products, and for those of you who don't know our industry in particular, last year Canon printers, Canon copiers bought Milestone, they also bought Access, one of our biggest video players globally, I think the market leader globally. And now we've got them working on a, what I believe will be an industry leading sort of cloud based video platform. So we'll get into that a little bit too as well. So thanks for coming out. First of all, Gary's came out here to do a show for us. We have our symposium for SAFE for Why He's Going On Up the Street, so he's going to be on stage in just a little bit, but we got him here in the studio earlier this morning. So if you've got some questions, we do have a phone number that's, I think, I don't know if you have to zoom in on that, Ray, but if you want to call in, do that. It's a new feature for the studio, so we're definitely able to take your call. And I want to get to you kind of soon about sort of the history of Archleys. So a little more like your passion for coming from Milestone, which is this industry leader, and I know you were there a while, and they have great stuff going on at Milestone. So what would you think if we said, wow, you know what, this new Archleys thing cloud, what made you want to go there first before we sort of get into the specifics of Archleys? Yeah, so good question. So I think when I was at Milestone working in Silicon Valley, I started talking to customers. You know, Archleys was actually a division of Milestone for seven years. It was the incubation lab that basically developed new technologies and then handed off to product management. So a year, a little over a year ago, I started looking at what the incubation team was working at. They're looking at video cloud. So I started talking to all my customers and started asking, are you guys looking at cloud initiatives? Right? Sure. And what I found out was probably 90% of my customers were looking at moving video to the cloud sometime. Maybe not today or six months, but you know, whether it's 2018, 2019, 2020, they're all looking at initiatives. How do we move our physical security up in the cloud? How do we do it securely? How do we reduce IT operations costs? So I think that was a driver for me. I see. So I really started hyper-focusing on what Archleys was doing, actually the incubation team at the time. And then the formation of the company was, so the time the incubation team with the milestone had 10 employees, I think six developers. And they had Andreas Peterson, who's our CEO, went to talk to the milestone board directors or executive team, I should say, about what they're doing and they had an idea of how to dominate the video cloud IoT market, right, from an enterprise perspective. And so, you know, we need 35, 40 developers. Wow. And at the time, Michael... They went, what? Yeah, exactly. You know, the executive team said, well, we budgeted, you know, two more engineers for you in 2018. So, but Lars Tengard, who's the CEO at Milestone and Andreas, you know, came up with ideas like, well, we should spin out this group into a separate company. So they actually went to Canon, the parent company of Milestone and pitched it. Canon executive said, we love it. We think the cloud is the future. And what do you need? Wow. So... Wow. Blank check?  And now we are, today we're sitting about 65 employees. We've got 45 developers on a team. We are a cloud-first company, Peer Play Cloud, and we're charging forward. So it was a brilliant move by, you know, Andreas, the Milestone executive team at Canon. Look at the big picture. Otherwise, we're an incubation team that has a few developers focused on it. And we're kind of dipping our toe in the water saying, hey, we're cloud, right? But this way, being a company, we can hyper-focus on being a cloud-first ground up, right? We're doing something that's disruptive and changing the market. Yeah. And then for those of you who aren't sure, you're thinking about this for yourselves, there's a few models. You know, you've got your VMS, your standard classic model that's on-site. So you've got costs for maintaining hard drives, which burn up about every 10,000 hours, unless you use the enterprise class, which burn up about every 30,000 hours. Regardless, you've got to replace those. They go down. You're missing video. And then you've got the bandwidth connectivity that it takes to get to your video. And maybe you've got holes poked in your firewall, so there's less security for doing mobile-type things with something that's home-based. And you've got the sort of hybrid solutions where some people have got some stuff on-site and they've got some stuff in the cloud. And then you've got the pure cloud play, which has been, there's been a few players in it. There's a couple of people trying it, but no one on the level of milestone has come at this yet and said, wow, actually, I should say the level of canon and said, we'll take some resources like this, dedicate it and build a box. So we're all, you know, in the industry, folks like me are all chomping at the big one. Woo, when do we see it? When do we get our hands on it? I'll sneak a little beta, so I've got a little bit of it, but it's good stuff. Yeah, I've been playing with it.  So once they said they're going to fund it, they could afford to hire some folks and get you in there? Because you've been at the top of the industry for a while in your other roles. Absolutely. So had you taken on anything brand new before? Yeah, I've done a few startups in the past. So I worked at Agent VI, which is an analytic company back in 2006 and 2009, and also brought BriefCam to market in 2010. So I helped them launch the product in the United States back in 2010, which actually is an interesting thing. And Canon just bought BriefCam? Canon just bought BriefCam, a market leader in video synopsis technology. So that's now Canon accompanying, I think, somewhere down the road. Smart purchase. Yeah. And, you know, somewhere down the road, we'll hope to see BriefCam integrated with Arch-a-Lease product. Oh, sure. Without a doubt. Yeah. I mean, it works so well. And it works well anywhere you use it. And if you're not familiar with that, just go to the website. Check it out. Awesome. So let's talk a little bit about the benefits. Let's look at... I touched BriefCam on some of the architecture, you know. You've got on-prem, you've got hybrid, and then you've got totally off-site. Let's talk about some of those other benefits there. Now, in Hawaii, we have a super high cost of electricity. So running those machines is a piece of that ROI. What else do you see as a return on investment for people offloading video out to the cloud versus keeping it on-prem? Well, so we talk about, I like to talk about total cost of operation. People think that TCO is total cost of ownership, but it's really about operation rights. So what the cloud brings to, you know, from a benefit standpoint is reducing that cost of operation from IT perspective, right? So you're talking about one piece of right. There's many elements of that total cost of operation, but when we can push out software updates automatically, right, without scheduling IT resources to do software updates, security patches can be pushed out automatically without scheduling. Sometimes, if you think about an attritional world, we're scheduling weeks out to do a security patch or a software update, right? We're rolling trucks to do software updates, right? It's on-prem. We can't get to it remotely. Absolutely.  And they've got, you know, 100 locations, maybe 500 locations, right? So with the value proposition, we start talking about the ability to do those software updates automatically pushed out without IT operations. We could save them thousands of dollars. Right. And the management piece, obviously, I always get the latest version. And we can also probably do the firmware updates to cameras at some point, right? We'll be able to push those on out through the VMS because we have that capability, which is what we're all looking for, right? It's one thing to have a VMS. It's another thing which is, you know, all that software lives in the cloud. That's awesome for us. But we've got to work on getting those patches out because we have 1,000 endpoints out there. And there's still people driving around updating every camera or going to a site, getting on the network, updating eight here, go to another site, update eight there. I mean, we're... It's another big process. Absolutely. We're trying to simplify the user experience, right? So whether that's the system integrator, IST, or the end user, from a deployment to a day-to-day operation, you know, look at the ArchElease portal, our interface, it's a workflow, right? And much more intuitive than traditional video management platforms from bringing everything under one umbrella. Yeah. So the end users, and they struggle with this, and they actually don't even know. And actually, I have even other issues that I think cloud can help us straighten out is that they don't necessarily look at their video system unless they've had some kind of problem that they want to research. And they may go for days, maybe weeks without seeing it, and something will be offline. Something won't be working, and they don't know. And then they'll try to go in and do their investigation and find out, wow, this thing was offline. And when we've got some cloud activity, we've got a way to get those alerts out to somebody, out to a mobile device, or we can let someone know instead of the thing sitting back there on the desk, you know, we're not paying any attention to it unless you need it. Absolutely. That's a great point. And one of the things ArchElease is doing with our AI logic or analytics is we have alerts pop up for cameras.  Somebody moved it so they can. Yeah, absolutely. Smoke detection. So these are things that basically will notify the end user that the camera has some sort of issue from a quality of video, right, viewing the video, right? And then it can actually you can through the system, the portal, open up a trouble ticket, assign it to a tech, they can go out and fix it, clean it up, whatever needs to be done, and then notify the end user that's it's all been cleared out. So yeah, that usability piece is massive. We're talking about ArchElease. We'll be back in one minute after we pay a few bills. Stay with us.

This is where we discuss everything that relates to computers that just kind of scare you out of your mind. So come join us every week here on thinktechawaii.com, 1pm on Friday afternoons. And then you can go see all our episodes on YouTube. Just look up the Cyber Underground on YouTube. All our shows will show up. And please follow us. We're always giving you current, relevant information to protect you. Keepin' you safe. Aloha. Hey, welcome back to the Think Tech Studios. This is Security Matters Hawaii. I am talking with Gary Thomas from ArchElease. And we're getting into some of the benefits of AI and business intelligence for cloud applications. What's your vision? What do you think we're going to accomplish with this stuff going forward? From an AI perspective, we look at our platform, right? We're actually aggregating sensor data. That could be video sensors being cameras, IoT sensor data. It's aggregating that and correlating that information into either business intelligence or more security applications. So if you look at business intelligence, look at a big box retailer. You can look at an NCAP. Say we got GoPro sittin' on an NCAP and a big box retailer. Now we can, from a business intelligence, start providing information that shows traffic flow, pass an NCAP, and we can tell you how many people actually walk by the NCAP over eight hour period. So over eight hours, 1,000 people walk by. Nobody bought any. Well, that's a problem. Well, that's correlated back to the point of sale, right? But you can take that data and say, OK, over that eight hour period, 1,000 people walk by, but 200 people stop, pick up the GoPro product, and they actually spent two minutes looking at the product. So now we can actually correlate traffic flow, people counting, and dwell time. Dwell time, sure. So from a business intelligence standpoint, and then, of course, security-wise, there's a lot of things that we're doing. We can't get into too much detail. But if you think about what AI can do, if you think about, for an example, go back a couple of decades to the Oklahoma Federal Building bombing situation, right? A situation where AI can be applied there would be a van pulls up across the street, or, yeah, a van pulls up in front of the building actually. Guy gets out of the truck. He runs across the street and jumps into a car heading the opposite direction. Right there, that's an immediate red flag, right? So if you see a vehicle pull up and a guy jumps out, goes in opposite direction, that's a major concern. We all know what happened, of course, with that horrific situation. But that's an example of AI could actually be used to apply some logic and then correlation. Usually the delivery guy goes to the back of the truck and unloads something. He doesn't run away and leave his vehicle, right? Yeah, exactly. And that's not necessarily intuitive. Even a live operator, a human, might watch that to see what's going on before realizing, hey man, the clock's maybe 10, 9, 8, and he really got some problems to take care of. And then the AI, of course, is a force multiplier, right? Obviously. Because in the case of operators, he could be looking at 20 cameras, could be looking at 100 cameras. He might have missed that completely. He's going to miss it, and a good chance, right? So AI brings the ability to do automated, real-time awareness and event notification. And then you figure out what that response is. And so your lab team, so we saw from at MIPS this year, which is the milestone integration partner summit, we saw Tanmay talk to us. Tanmay Bakshi talked to us quite a bit about those neural networks, like some are supervised and some are unsupervised. So are these pieces of the AI tool kit that we could expect to see out at ARCU East in the future? Absolutely. So we have an AI development team that's working on a number of algorithms. I'm not sure what I can actually go into. But they are neural network algorithms, right? So they're learning technology. They get smarter as they're applied in the field, right? And it's correlating that data with seeing it's actually learning. And that's a great thing about one of the reasons we're doing the beta sites right now is by the time we launch, the algorithms have to be much smarter. Sure, so they're pulling in data from an environment. For our users out there, what we're talking about is the ability to have a camera that actually learns what all the things are in an environment. It knows what's a chair, what's a table, what's a human, what's a pet. And then it also knows what's not supposed to be there or what's rarely there or what's only there on Tuesdays at 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. or whatever. And we can build business intelligence around that kind of knowledge. Absolutely. Once these neural networks learn. And the trick is computing power, which is available in the cloud. Absolutely. You don't have that sitting in your back or your car seat. You don't have people that build out offices. You need massive power for this. And that's another value proposition, right? Is no longer do customers need to make the investment of enterprise class servers sitting on prem, right? That's all moved up in the cloud. That's sitting up in the Google cloud, right? So that's a huge benefit. Another thing if you think about also the problem today with traditional on prem solutions is you have to value engineer that solution to be the worst case scenario from a performance standpoint, right? A peak.  Biggest shopping day of the year, Black Friday. You have to, from a retailer, process in that video, the analytics, that has to be engineered for that peak performance, right? Yeah, because the rest of the year, you have 10% of that traffic. So you talk about a massive investment from a hardware perspective, right? Sure. Plus IT, supporting all that. So when you move everything to the cloud, with our colleagues, the benefit of the cloud is elasticity, right? We dynamically, the system can dynamically add or reduce processing power based on performance. So now, instead of building that network out and the hardware infrastructure to support the peak performance, we dynamically add processing up and down. Same thing with bandwidth, right? So you're not paying for all that upfront investment. You pay for what you use. Right, so that you're always ready for surges. Yes. Because it can dynamically scale to address the surge, but then you're not paying for all that when you didn't need it. So I equate that to, like, you know how a lot of people think, oh, I've got to store video for 90 days, for example. And then they'll get their storage set up and then they'll slowly decide, oh, if I use less frames, I didn't really need such so much hardware. So they'll start off with like 15 frames. They'll say, oh, well, five frames would have done it for me. That's a similar sort of issue where you don't want to ever over-purchase for the back end of your technology. And cloud's going to allow us not to do that down to the end user. Absolutely. So is the vision for the product a sort of a subscription service, a channel service? What's the? Because this is also new. We're always kind of wondering as an integrator, how are we going to sort of see this package? What do we offer to the customer? What do you foresee? How are you still figuring it out? So whatever you can tell us. So great question.  We are changing it from a CapEx investment for customers to an OpEx, right? Very good. So it's a monthly recurring fee. So we're still working through some of the pricing models, but it is on a monthly fee and usage base. And will you be able to think to add Hawks or add in some AI where you needed, like put some AI into this channel for dwell time. And maybe for this channel, this is a big fire. It's a dusty area. So I need to have the fire analytic, but not maybe all analytics everywhere. Or what do you think about that? Yeah. So you'll be able to with the system. And we may have a couple of different levels of a product, an enterprise product, and then maybe a base unit. The base unit, you could Alucard add in AI logic to some cameras, a subset, right? And that's basically going in the portal and turning on and off different devices for those type of features, right? Enterprise may be, you get everything, right? Soon as a new feature update comes out. And the nice thing about our platform, right? Gone are the days of waiting four, six months for the new build, right? And then you got to test it to make sure it doesn't break everything. Yeah, so now we push software updates out. It could be daily, it could be weekly, right? Same thing, security patches. So it's all automated. And what's the vision for working with the camera partners that we have out there? Do you, I know there's on-vift standards and on-vift can be limiting because you can only get the stream. And sometimes you can't control the camera features. So what's your thoughts? Have you guys debated any of that yet? So we will support on-vift. So we'll, you know, they're obviously the massive customer base running on-vift drivers. But also being a spin out of milestone, we're going to be able to tap into, you know, milestone, I'm not sure what it is. They got over probably about 7,000 custom drivers for third party cameras, right? So we're going to be able to tap into a pretty large subset of that number.  We should be able to support. We always do recommend, you know, with on-vift to test drivers. But, you know, I don't think camera support, if you're using top-tank leading manufacturers, should be a problem. Awesome. That's really good to know. And obviously that can grow a lot easier in the cloud. So adapting, you know, when you get a new library built for a line of camera, because there, those guys are also coming out with new cameras every, I don't know, seems like every six months, we have a new build, which is, you know, probably new firmware from those guys with new feature sets and things like that. So, you know, the ability to push one thing out into your engine that updates all those engines in the cloud, right? It makes it just a one-time thing and all of a sudden everything works. I think there's so much advantage there. And what I, I guess maybe, do you think it's just bandwidth that's finally allowed us to do this? You know, because it's, we've talked about it for a while. But, you know, is it 5G? Is it the, that 5G is coming? Was it 4G? What do you think, tip the scale? Because to me, video cloud, it really works. And I don't see how anyone won't do it in the future. I don't think you would be able to buy anything but cloud, personally. Maybe it's 10 years out, don't get me wrong, but. I think it's a combination. One is bandwidth is obviously there's no issue with bandwidth these days, right? So much more scalable. The other thing is processing GPU processing from like the guys over at NVIDIA that has enabled the AI piece to really be able to handle that deep learning logic and processing because that's very compute intensive. So I think GPU processing, the bandwidth, and then also security. Today, there's no doubt that moving your infrastructure up into the cloud is more secure than a non-prim solution. From a cyber perspective, yes, for sure. Right? So I think those are kind of three key elements. OK. Yeah, I totally agree. I've seen, I've been watching this for a while and there's been a few, again, a few companies that have dipped in. And I'm really happy to see Milestone and Canon fund this because I feel like now we've got a super high tech company taking a look at what's possible. And that is only going to help the industry move further down this path. And hopefully the end users will see the value there. We've still got a lot of guys. In the old IT guys, you remember there's always the picture of them hugging their servers. They don't want to give up their iron, you know? But there's so much more available to us in the cloud. And you put the money in bandwidth and let it live up there, it'll take care of you a whole lot better. Very interesting. So let's talk about the most exciting thing so far. You've sort of been there since a little bit late last year. What's the most exciting thing at Archie Lee's right now?  They're great. So I'm sure the folks are fun. What do you guys really stand up and cheer about? I think success. I mean, we have a really great culture. We actually talk about we have a culture of superheroes, really great smart, brilliant people. But really, a bigger picture is what we're doing within the industry. Like I said, it's a disruptive technology. We're changing the industry. We excited when we talk to customers and we understand the problems that we don't want Windows servers to the edge anymore. We don't want to be rolling trucks, right? They look at what we can do. It's like, wow, you can save us thousands of dollars and several hundred thousand dollars in cases, right? Those type of things. And then applying logic from the artificial intelligence, and IoT sensors, that's a whole other element to talk about as an IoT. The things that we're doing is it is really game-changing. We're doing it for the enterprise, right? If you look at other folks out there in the cloud space, they're really focused on small business, right? We're actually the first company in the industry from the cloud, pure cloud play solution that's actually addressing AI, cloud, IoT integration for the enterprise. And the enterprise is always a place to look for a lead. If you want to see where the world's going, follow those guys. Gary, it's a real pleasure having you. Absolutely, thank you. Thank you so much. Thanks for having me on. We're going to head down to the symposium for a safer Hawaii. I hope you signed up because it's sold out. We'll be down there the rest of the day. Meanwhile, appreciate you joining us at the Think Tech Studios. This is Security Matters Hawaii. And we'll see you next time. Aloha.


I'm hanging on six. Fire! I can't do the same thing, so... It's done. It's going to generate your second shot. One, eight, three. And then we just move it and we'll keep up. Yeah. Going through an auto is trying to select it now to what actually works and what doesn't. Just go mid, hands off. Deflection! Two and... Airspeed faster? I don't know if that's necessary, though.


The Russian commander revealed the main problems on the Ukrainian front. Russian troops are exhausted after suffering significant losses. Following their major attack on the key Ukrainian town of Avdivka, a US war think tank has said. Russian and Ukrainian forces fought fierce battles around the strategically important eastern town for a third day after Moscow launched one of its biggest military offensives in months. The Institute for the Study of War ISW reported that Vladimir Putin's troops are subsequently exhausted according to Russian Vostok battalion commander Alexander Kodakovsky who is now even advocating for Russian forces to freeze the frontline in Ukraine in order to make replacements. Kodakovsky said that the Russian infantry forces on the frontline in Ukraine face problems of counter-battery capabilities, commander competence, medical supply, rotation and supply. Kodakovsky claims that the lack of communication between Russian battalions and the headquarters was so widespread that when the Ukrainian troops attacked the building of the Russian headquarters the Russian battalion did not understand that the headquarters was out of order and continued to conduct operations independently, the information says. It should be noted that Kodakovsky previously complained about problems affecting the ability of Russian troops to conduct effective combat operations. Kodakovsky is a former commander of the Alpha Special Unit of the Security Service of Ukraine. But after Russia attacked the Donbas region in 2014 he defected and became the security minister of the Donetsk People's Republic. He left that post in 2014 and has been commanding troops in the Donbas region ever since. Earlier Kodakovsky suggested that the only way Russia could win the war is by using nuclear weapons against Ukraine. The ISW added that in the face of relentless attacks Ukrainian forces have managed to destroy at least 36 Russian armored vehicles including tanks according to a Ukrainian reserve officer. Avdivka is described as a gateway to the city of Donetsk, the capital of the Donbas region and has become a symbol of resistance since Russia's invasion.


so please be aware guys that this is a really early build of the game and what you will witness may not reflect the full game on release so guys i am back with another first ascendant video today i'm going to showcase to you guys the weapons of this game now i'm not watching a trailer you're probably thinking a weapons even needed with the amount of abilities you have in this game i can confirm guys weapons are a major major part of the game and today i will explain all how's it going guys my name is dpj and if you're doing enjoyed the video leaving a like really helps out and if you like what you see you want to see more be sure to subscribe okay i want to think i want to add this as well i am on a boost of the count which was given to me to actually showcase these kind of things to you so i'm on a place here i'm on a plaque i can't actually go to anywhere solo where it's actually fair these enemies are just going to get absolutely smacked by these weapons but i can guarantee you guys when you start the game and the way you level up i don't know how i'm flying there but either way when you level up it's not this easy i mean it's pretty hard you need to use your abilities you need to use your weapons it's all majorly majorly important well yes the weapons firstly like i said i was probably like you watching a trailer thinking do you need do you need weapons with all these abilities are they that necessary yes they are they really are and they play a major role and they feel real real good they really do i'm just going to go and start a mission around here and just kill a few enemies and just show you i mean like i said this is a early early early early beta guys this is a beta so i expect things to only improve but they're quite good at the minute we're gonna go down here okay let's go down here i will say as well guys and i'll showcase you in a minute there's a lot you can do weapons in regards to making them more powerful for your build i don't know if you saw my ruin video um but there's a lot you can do to make weapons much much better as as well as where weapons are obtained from they can drop uh from enemies you can be rewarded them for doing missions planetary missions uh quests you can even buy them from a vendor within the social area which is the albion the first one you'll come to um but yes well it actually the loot in this game reminds me of borderlands you get so much of it it is unbelievable there is an absolute ton of loot in this game and the reason i say it's like borderlands because it just drops all the time now the good thing about that is guys is because you can take those weapons if you don't need them to the vendor and break them down they get important materials for them i don't know what that dude is doing don't you develop on me there you go right there guys we have a nice weapon don't need it i'll break it down get materials use up great over things now i'm using this weapon here what's this here it should probably showcase you the weapons i'm willing in a minute i've got fully maxed out weapons guys which are badass smg is a bit of a a monster but it does recoil all over the place shut our shotguns as well shotguns are brutal what are you doing up there come down ah do you over i don't know where i'm going down here boom yeah these are just it's just everything's one tapping them everything's just one tapping oh yeah back to the weapons my favorite by far that i've used in the beta our hand cannons hand cannons just feel so crisp they are powerful they are beautiful i'll put one on actually let me show you where's my baby i've got one i'll come back to this in a minute guys show these no it's not that one it's not that one where are you this one yeah it's a cool weapon it's a cool weapon look at that power boom loving it loving it i'm playing the controller by the way i'm useless maths and keep up guys forgive me forgive me and my pc is poor man and it's upgraded i really do i really do okay so there's nothing here i can just showcase you the weapons we have okay so there are quite a few lot of weapons here there's assault rifles scout rifles snipers tactical rifles there's sub machine guns there's hand guns hand cannons there's beam rifles there's grenade launchers there's rocket launchers i've probably missed a few and they drop like i said from enemies you can be rewarded these you can buy these whatever you can also level them up through their potential level which i haven't done yet i haven't played with a single weapon long enough to do that i'm not sure what happens when you get to a level two but i'm guessing it increases its stats but you can make weapons a lot more powerful and i mean a lot more powerful ways to do with the ruins now i made a video talking about ruins and what they do to this game that actually they are the basis they are the foundation of your build in this game you got weapon ruins and you have your descendant in your player room now we obviously have a video about weapons um i'll showcase to you and talk to you what these do now like i said i've made a video talking about ruins and explaining exactly what they do if you want to check that you'll find out my channel if i remember i'll link it down below okay so i've got a assault rifle sub machine gun and a hand gun and i'm just going to put another weapon here you can see all the kinds of different weapons here as well look how bad i stay look i've got a beam rifle we have a scout we have a launcher we have another launcher we have quite a few things guys there's so much there's so much yeah yeah you know you just you get it you get it look how cool they look well we'll see as well i think else there's three where it is there is a what i call legendary epic and rare i ain't seen no legendary weapons in the beta so i'm guessing they are hiding them for the full game and they must be super super rare or they could be end game rewards either way these are the weapons we have right now and this is what we can do with them so back to the rooms so we have rooms we have a storm room a turn room wave funda and haze each one of these rooms affects individual weapon types so we have the storm room as you can see on the left hand side it affects sub machine guns assault rifles and hand cut hand guns we have the torrent affects machine guns tactical rifles and beam rifles we have wave hand cannons and scouts fundas snipers and launchers and we have haze which is shotguns i'm just going to remove all these so i can explain to you what these do so your rooms um basically they are individual buffs you can earn find reward buy whatever which affect said weapons so for the the storm room we have five slots and we actually start with five slots i have seven my other character got five as you upgrade you'll get extra slots here we also have a capacity you know where i'm going don't you so individual rooms we'll start with the lower ones because you probably aren't going to have any of them where you're playing the game early on you can see here what these do are this one decreases recoil this one here adds flame attack equal to 3.3 percent of weapon attack we have here adds electrical attack this one here adds demonic attack this one here yeah critical chance is a plus 3.5 percent as you can see there's plenty there's someone there's some guys that actually do it was that one i was looking at this one here on enemy kill attack is a plus 40 for 10 seconds this is this effect stacks three times craziness but yes either way these you can apply as you can see there is a icon and a number next to them so the icon forget about for now the number if i select that you can see it uses three of my 35 capacity i've got seven slots here with 35 capacity so i ain't gonna be able to use seven of the 15s that just ain't gonna work is it no way so yes that's what we have i mean if you think about it as well it's gonna make you think it's gonna make you think carefully of what you can do now you can if you want to you can equip a a submachine gun an assault rifle and a handgun at the same time just like so and what this will do is these seven buffs that i have here will affect all three of these weapons so you won't even have to worry about any of these because obviously you ain't using any of the weapons these are accustomed to so yeah this one this this seven here or five when you start will affect all weapons which is quite cool so yeah keep that in mind and there's like i said some crazy buffs you can do here and you we ain't even touched the basis the basic shit we i don't think we have okay so the icons the icon set as you can see these actually things you can apply via getting materials going to a vendor within the albion social space and you can apply these symbols to your ruin slots they cast that certain material what they do is as you see this here looks like a a so if you have a ruin with that a symbol there and you select it as you can see guys it only uses four even though it says eight it's only using four of that said capacity meaning you can apply ten of one have we got one here which looks like a b that one there is that the same thing it looks like it that's a 15 but we can equip it because it's only using eight so that's pretty cool but to get all of these with that icon on it's going to take a lot of that material which i think is this one here yes it's this one here so yeah there's a lot you can do guys to your weapons to make a much more powerful a lot to think about as well and if i do a go ahead and add a legend oil stuff there's got to be legendary weapons in the main game i can't imagine what people are going to do and that's just for the weapons guys it's also ruins for your character as well which again add so many things to make your character even more powerful it's a ability is more powerful so yeah but this we're this video is about weapons so we are going to stick to those weapons and yep that's it really that's really all you need to know weapons are amazing they're super super important they look absolutely badass i should have showed you a few of the bigger ones look at that thing look at that thing i think i may have a beam right here right there the beam rifle is basically like a trace rifle a goss bus his gun quite powerful as well by the way we also have my beautiful assault but this launcher here which i'm not gonna lie it was too slow for me in my normal playthrough not on this boosted character because you get absolutely bombarded by enemies i mean and because the reloading is so slow which again you can buff with those ruins it just wasn't efficient for me this one actually you know this one because it's a level 40 it's got five in its mag my actual one obviously only had it was a low level so it only had one in its mag so this is actually way more efficient i know what i just said boom haha cool but yes guys weapons are super important in this game um and i can't wait for the full game so let's see what you guys come up with builds or the certainly over but there we have it guys hopefully i think you need to know if you are confused about anything you can hit me up on my twitter which is linked down below but there we have it guys guys if you enjoyed the video leave a like really helps out you feel like what you see i want to see more first send it be sure to subscribe and hopefully guys i will see you on that next one
