[00:35] that he has sown into his own journey here through purchasing a one-on-one.
[00:37] here through purchasing a one-on-one with me.
[00:37] I pray, Lord, that that.
[00:39] with me. I pray, Lord, that that seed returns back to him many, many,

[00:45] And I pray, Lord, that the faith that he has to sit down and talk with me on this.

[01:01] In Jesus' name.
[01:03] And I um just thank you, Lord, for this moment.
[01:05] I I invite you in on this one-on-one.
[01:07] I pray it be blessed in Jesus' name.
[01:07] Amen.
[01:10] Jesus' name.
[01:10] Amen.
[01:13] All right.
[01:13] So, I sent in the chat what you said.
[01:15] You said, "I've been trading for 6 weeks now and looking to refine the approach I have put together based on everything you've learned."
[01:24] And you're wanting to have your approach assessed and evaluated, critiqued, so you can enhance how you trade.
[01:32] Okay.
[01:33] So, yes, I'll go go go go ahead and speak towards that, and then I guess afterwards you'll be sharing your screen?
[01:39] Yeah, yeah.
[01:39] All right, cool.
[01:41] [snorts]
[01:44] Um to speak towards that, um one of the things I would like to kind of understand is I know I've been listening all the videos as much as I can.
[01:52] It It seems like there's a trade for the week, a trade for of day.
[01:57] I can and a like the trade for the week as if you're a swing trader or a trade for the day if you're like an intraday
[02:02] for the day if you're like an intraday trader or a trade you can take um to trader or a trade you can take um to kind of like you can kind of ride those waves if you're a scalper.
[02:07] And I would like to go deeper into the mindset of a scalper because as you do the all these different videos, it's kind of like you can kind of use it however you need to, but I would like specific detailed details on how to be a scalper and specifically like sometimes you'll have videos where you're saying like most people just want to understand and learn how to trade.
[02:32] I'm just here for the money.
[02:34] Like I haven't really heard too many people say, oh, how do you just get the money?
[02:38] I'm like I want to be able to get into the the um charts and then being able to just find a scalping move and make a the $500 to $1,000 and then be done.
[02:50] And um so I like I believe I would have to understand order flow and when and know and how to jump in and to jump out.
[02:56] I'd imagine I'd need to jump on the chart and um analyze things for that week and then
[03:03] um analyze things for that week and then seeing what.
[03:04] seeing what trade to take for that day is and then.
[03:06] trade to take for that day is and then hopping in when it whenever I can and.
[03:08] hopping in when it whenever I can and then hopping out whenever I'm done.
[03:10] then hopping out whenever I'm done.
[03:12] That's kind of my approach of of what I'm thinking about.
[03:14] I'm thinking about.
[03:18] Okay. And I seen a a lot of different versions of how you trade and what I'm doing is just jumping on the chart and.
[03:23] doing is just jumping on the chart and whatever I see I take that specifically.
[03:26] whatever I see I take that specifically.
[03:27] I see holy grail, okay, [clears throat] I'm going to take it.
[03:29] I'm going to take it.
[03:30] I see a a BIR, I'm taking A&O, I'm taking and.
[03:34] a a BIR, I'm taking A&O, I'm taking and you know, I can't say I'm the best at all of them yet, but that's the approach.
[03:36] you know, I can't say I'm the best at all of them yet, but that's the approach I kind of developed and um I'm just trying to get all that kind of refined.
[03:38] I kind of developed and um I'm just trying to get all that kind of refined.
[03:41] trying to get all that kind of refined.
[03:44] Um and I I had to combine I'm in it, I can't pass it, I can't fail it, I'm just in it.
[03:46] I had to combine I'm in it, I can't pass it, I can't fail it, I'm just in it.
[03:48] can't pass it, I can't fail it, I'm just in it.
[03:49] in it.
[03:51] So like um that's kind of like the where I'm at.
[03:54] um that's kind of like the where I'm at.
[03:57] All right, cool. Articulated very well.
[03:59] Um, everything that you just said.
[04:04] kind of low-key makes you one of the perfect students because that's the approach that I try to give to everyone.
[04:14] Which [clears throat] is, hey, here's this area, here's this area, here's this area, here's this area.
[04:22] Regardless of when you're on a chart, you're going to see these areas getting hit at some point in time.
[04:31] And I teach it in that way because there are people like me and I guess like you who want to be able to open up a chart and not have to sit for too long waiting for a specific type of model or setup to play out, but we just want to interact with price, get in and get out, make our money, go on about our day.
[04:56] So cool. So like, I try to teach people how to read the market overall and understand it, so then they can just
[05:05] and understand it, so then they can just execute kind of anywhere they would like.
[05:08] execute kind of anywhere they would like to.
[05:09] to.
[05:11] But because you said
[05:13] because you said you want the money, and that that I'm
[05:15] you want the money, and that that I'm I'm glad you're clear on.
[05:17] You just want the money.
[05:19] That's why you're here.
[05:21] I remember from last one-on-one, that's why you're here.
[05:23] why you're here.
[05:24] You don't You don't care to master this stuff, right?
[05:26] stuff, right?
[05:28] Correct.
[05:30] You just want to be able to know what you need to know and master that and make that money consistent.
[05:36] Okay, cool.
[05:39] So, I got you.
[05:43] Show me what you're working with.
[05:44] Okay.
[05:46] Um,
[05:48] and and and just just to let you know what what I'm going to be assessing while I'm watching you.
[05:50] while I'm watching you.
[05:52] I'm not going to be assessing what you know.
[05:54] I know I'm not going to be assessing what's right and what's wrong.
[05:55] assessing what's right and what's wrong.
[05:57] I'm going to be assessing what I feel
[06:00] I'm going to be assessing what I feel like you identify with easiest.
[06:03] like you identify with easiest.
[06:03] And what and and
[06:06] And what and and I'm going to go from there. Okay?
[06:08] I'm going to go from there. Okay? Okay. Okay.
[06:12] I'm not sure what you see online and I
[06:14] I'm not sure what you see online and I see trading view.
[06:16] see trading view. Okay. Okay. So you see my chart? Yep.
[06:20] Okay. Okay. So you see my chart? Yep. Okay. Um
[06:22] Okay. Um Here are some levels that I kind of marked out today.
[06:25] marked out today. And a trade that I took.
[06:29] That's solid, dude. Oh, that's solid.
[06:32] That's solid, dude. Oh, that's solid. That's a perfect trade. Stop loss is too
[06:34] That's a perfect trade. Stop loss is too big, but that's a perfect trade though.
[06:36] big, but that's a perfect trade though. >> Okay. I was worried about that. So I've
[06:38] Okay. I was worried about that. So I've been getting stopped out a lot and I
[06:40] been getting stopped out a lot and I figured my stop loss might need to come
[06:42] figured my stop loss might need to come here. Well under there.
[06:45] here. Well under there. This is the part where it gets
[06:48] This is the part where it gets Yeah. This stop loss placement
[06:51] Yeah. This stop loss placement depends on timing. It depends on what
[06:55] depends on timing. It depends on what time you entered. If you entered when
[06:56] time you entered. If you entered when price was coming down into it, then that
[06:59] price was coming down into it, then that was the best stop loss. But if you
[07:01] was the best stop loss. But if you waited [clears throat]
[07:03] waited [clears throat] to see how price was going to react
[07:05] to see how price was going to react after, then you could have had a tighter
[07:08] after, then you could have had a tighter one cuz it never came down and hit.
[07:10] But one cuz it never came down and hit.
[07:10] But Right.
[07:12] if you get into the habit of placing this stop loss,
[07:15] the habit of placing this stop loss, there's nothing wrong with that.
[07:17] Use proper risk management.
[07:20] So but for for me, it would have been a little bit too big.
[07:23] it would have been a little bit too big.
[07:25] There there are easy ways to determine how to tighten that.
[07:27] how to tighten that.
[07:28] Okay?
[07:28] Super.
[07:29] Okay.
[07:31] But let's just go back to to the 5-minute chart real quick cuz the 5-minute 5-minute markup was really was really good.
[07:33] let's just go back to to the 5-minute chart real quick cuz the 5-minute
[07:34] chart real quick cuz the 5-minute 5-minute markup was really
[07:37] 5-minute markup was really was really good.
[07:40] So walk me through why you marked this up the way did?
[07:43] why you marked this up the way did?
[07:46] Like, how did you put that box there?
[07:48] And what what made you have the bias to take this buy?
[07:51] take this buy?
[07:54] Um well, first what I did was I I I I was checking these levels here and checking just to see um if they were significant on larger time frame.
[07:57] what I did was I I I I was checking these levels here
[07:58] these levels here and checking just to see
[08:00] and checking just to see um if they were significant on larger
[08:03] um if they were significant on larger time frame.
[08:06] And that's another thing that I would really want to understand
[08:07] that I would really want to understand cuz I'm hearing time frames don't matter
[08:09] cuz I'm hearing time frames don't matter so much.
[08:10] so much.
[08:10] But, I have not been at all looking at the 1-hour, 4-hour.
[08:16] The highest I would go up is 15 minutes.
[08:19] But, I I think I need to understand the bias of the 1-hour and 4-hour.
[08:23] And I want to know how to best incorporate that into my trading.
[08:27] But, let me let me continue explain.
[08:29] So, I went on here I saw that this it was we're in a downtrend and I I I marked this level and I just started marking swing points.
[08:37] I jumped down to the 15-minute.
[08:40] And then just started drawing boxes.
[08:42] I didn't want to go too far back in time.
[08:44] So, I just started drawing these boxes here.
[08:46] And I went down to the 5-minute.
[08:49] Well, actually I went to the to the 1-minute.
[08:52] And then this is where I saw this after I drew these boxes.
[08:58] I saw this right here.
[09:02] And it it led to this break of this high.
[09:05] This this right here.
[09:08] Well, actually
[09:09] This this right here.
[09:09] Well, actually this kind of led to it.
[09:11] But, I saw this this kind of led to it.
[09:11] But, I saw this right here as a demand area that formed right here as a demand area that formed after price made this lower I mean higher low.
[09:21] I mean uh higher low.
[09:22] I mean uh higher higher uh uh lower high.
[09:25] lower high. Yeah, okay. Cool. Cool. Cool. I understand.
[09:26] Cool. I understand.
[09:26] It made this and then it dropped here.
[09:28] It made this and then it dropped here.
[09:29] And then that um this area I knew was a demand area.
[09:32] And then when price came up here and then made this lower high, it made this higher high.
[09:34] And then when price came up here and then made this lower high, it made this higher high.
[09:37] it made this higher high.
[09:39] I figured it was going to come when it if it went came back down into this area again, it would go back up.
[09:41] to come when it if it went came back down into this area again, it would go back up.
[09:43] down into this area again, it would go back up.
[09:45] I did get kind of worried when it came here, and then dropped back down, but I had my stop loss here, and then I noticed it was continuing.
[09:47] it came here, and then dropped back down, but I had my stop loss here, and then I noticed it was continuing.
[09:49] down, but I had my stop loss here, and then I noticed it was continuing.
[09:51] then I noticed it was continuing.
[09:53] Okay.
[09:53] Okay, cool.
[09:56] Really good overall.
[09:59] Really good overall.
[10:01] Really good understanding of like where buying pressure and all of that stuff.
[10:03] understanding of like where buying pressure and all of that stuff.
[10:06] where buying pressure and all of that stuff.
[10:09] pressure and all of that stuff kind of is.
[10:11] kind of is.
[10:12] Okay.
[10:12] Cool.
[10:18] You said You said you wanted a little bit more.
[10:21] bit more.
[10:21] Okay.
[10:23] You said you wanted higher time frame sensitivity of knowing like an overall area you need to look at, and then you also want a scalping perspective.
[10:35] So, let me just say that your ability to analyze the middle is really good.
[10:38] This is the hardest part.
[10:41] What you just displayed that you know how to do right here is the hardest part.
[10:45] Okay?
[10:47] Analyzing price action overall.
[10:50] Like, you you see how big your boxes are?
[10:59] Are you still there?
[11:03] I think he Oh, the stream closed.
[11:03] Hey, man.
[11:05] Where did you go?
[11:14] You got disconnected.
[11:16] You got disconnected.
[11:16] All right.
[11:19] right, great.
[11:19] I'm glad.
[11:19] Okay, so,
[11:21] right, great.
[11:21] I'm glad.
[11:21] Okay, so, like I was saying, I don't know what the
[11:23] like I was saying, I don't know what the last thing you heard was, but basically
[11:24] last thing you heard was, but basically I was just trying to give you your
[11:25] I was just trying to give you your props, and um
[11:28] props, and um recognize that you actually know how to
[11:31] recognize that you actually know how to how to do the hardest part which is
[11:33] how to do the hardest part which is >> Oh my god, thanks.
[11:33] Good to hear.
[11:35] >> Oh my god, thanks.
[11:35] Good to hear.
[11:35] >> yeah, which is analyze the mark analyze
[11:38] yeah, which is analyze the mark analyze the in between of the market.
[11:41] the in between of the market.
[11:41] Mhm.
[11:41] You see how big your boxes are
[11:44] Mhm. You see how big your boxes are relative to price action here?
[11:46] relative to price action here?
[11:46] Mhm.
[11:47] Mhm.
[11:47] Exactly.
[11:47] So, you're successfully
[11:50] Exactly. So, you're successfully analyzing the highs and the lows of
[11:52] analyzing the highs and the lows of trends like I teach people how to do
[11:54] trends like I teach people how to do that they fail to do that well.
[11:58] that they fail to do that well.
[11:58] Okay?
[11:58] So, that's that's the hardest
[12:00] Okay? So, that's that's the hardest part.
[12:02] part.
[12:02] Now
[12:04] Now I can teach you the small detail
[12:07] I can teach you the small detail and the big details that matter.
[12:10] and the big details that matter.
[12:10] So, do me a favor.
[12:10] I have an idea and I
[12:13] So, do me a favor. I have an idea and I think it's going to work.
[12:14] think it's going to work.
[12:16] Do you see up there in the top where it says layout one and click save?
[12:20] Mhm. Save?
[12:22] Then click the drop-down arrow.
[12:24] Then, let's see.
[12:27] Mhm. Click make a copy.
[12:30] No, uh well, first of all check share layout.
[12:36] And then yeah, the uh copy link.
[12:40] All right. Now, send that send that to the Discord.
[12:42] Send that to me.
[12:49] Instead of me pulling up my chart, I'm going to pull up your chart and I'm going to show you the missing elements based on your analysis.
[12:55] This is the first time I'm I'm I'm ever doing this.
[12:59] I I I think it's a good one.
[13:01] Interesting. Yeah, I think it's a good idea.
[13:06] Wow, it's pulling up the actual TradingView application.
[13:07] I haven't opened this in so long.
[13:11] What do you trade on?
[13:14] Oh, no. No, I mean I I use TradingView
[13:17] Oh, no.
[13:17] No, I mean I I use TradingView on on the web browser.
[13:21] the web browser.
[13:21] Oh, okay.
[13:22] Oh, okay.
[13:22] but I forgot I had the actual app installed.
[13:26] Let me copy and paste the link in here.
[13:31] Okay, so I'm on view only mode, but you are looking at Nasdaq, right?
[13:42] Nasdaq, right?
[13:42] What time frame is this? 1 minute?
[13:45] What time frame is this? 1 minute?
[13:45] This was gold.
[13:47] This was gold.
[13:47] Oh, that was gold. Okay, okay.
[13:52] And you take a Nasdaq trade too, though, but
[14:01] Okay.
[14:03] Okay.
[14:03] Can you Hold on, let me see.
[14:12] No, I got it.
[14:14] No, I got it.
[14:14] I figured it out.
[14:16] I figured it out.
[14:16] Leave Okay, cool.
[14:18] Leave Okay, cool. I'm going to go ahead and share it shh
[14:20] I'm going to go ahead and share it shh share my screen now, okay?
[14:27] Let me go ahead and
[14:29] Let me go ahead and do this.
[14:31] do this. Share my screen.
[14:34] Um
[14:36] Um really I just need to share
[14:39] really I just need to share this application.
[14:49] Okay.
[14:50] Okay. Um
[14:54] Do you see Do you see my screen?
[14:58] Yes. All right.
[14:59] Yes. All right. >> loading, yeah. I see it now.
[15:01] >> loading, yeah. I see it now. All right.
[15:03] So,
[15:05] So, what what we have here is your markup, okay?
[15:09] okay? Mhm. And I'm I'm able to make make edits to it.
[15:13] Mhm. And I'm I'm able to make make edits to it. So,
[15:16] to it. So, let me go ahead and and tell you Let me
[15:18] Let me go ahead and and tell you, let me give you the the high time frame.
[15:21] Give you the the high time frame.
[15:22] Mhm, no. I'll going to the high time frame second, okay?
[15:24] I'm going to give you the scalping perspective first.
[15:30] Okay. The little nuances that you need to know, right?
[15:32] I teach alpha and omega.
[15:39] Alpha is the first order block.
[15:43] Alpha is the first order block or the first set of highs and lows in a trend.
[15:50] So, and then um omega is the last set of highs and lows in a trend, okay?
[16:01] So, if we're examining this and we see this downtrend omega being the last set of market structure in this trend is right over here in this area.
[16:18] is right over here in this area.
[16:18] Does that make sense?
[16:21] Does that make sense?
[16:21] Mhm, yeah.
[16:23] Mhm, yeah.
[16:23] Because that that would be the path that
[16:25] Because that that would be the path that the market took
[16:27] the market took to to continue the market down, okay?
[16:31] to to continue the market down, okay?
[16:31] Mhm.
[16:33] Mhm.
[16:33] So,
[16:34] So, when did
[16:35] when did Why do I tell people to focus on this?
[16:39] Why do I tell people to focus on this?
[16:39] The reason why is because there's a lot
[16:41] The reason why is because there's a lot of complicated approaches to this.
[16:44] of complicated approaches to this.
[16:44] Change in state of delivery, liquidity.
[16:47] Change in state of delivery, liquidity.
[16:47] I'm not good with analyzing liquidity
[16:50] I'm not good with analyzing liquidity and all of that extra stuff.
[16:52] and all of that extra stuff.
[16:52] But what I do know is a thing or two
[16:54] But what I do know is a thing or two about market structure.
[16:57] about market structure. So,
[16:57] So, the the significance of this
[16:59] the the significance of this is
[17:02] is if this area
[17:05] if this area caused the market to go lower
[17:09] caused the market to go lower it is a bearish order block.
[17:12] it is a bearish order block.
[17:12] Meaning that it's it's just an it's a
[17:15] Meaning that it's it's just an it's a price range that is placed here and
[17:18] Price range that is placed here and designed to block buy orders.
[17:24] Mhm.
[17:27] I can look at this after the fact and see that this area could not hold.
[17:30] And see that this area could not hold buyers back.
[17:34] That's that's that's step one.
[17:38] So, if I put this put this circle back here,
[17:41] Put this put this circle back here, basically
[17:43] Basically now we want to start trying to
[17:44] Now we want to start trying to understand sentiment or order flow.
[17:48] Understand sentiment or order flow.
[17:48] This is where a bunch of sellers are.
[17:53] Buyers are right here.
[18:12] This is this is the exact opposite of
[18:14] This is this is the exact opposite of what this is.
[18:17] Mhm.
[18:17] So, for example,
[18:20] Mhm.
[18:20] So, for example, let me just switch up my time frame.
[18:22] Let me just switch up my time frame.
[18:22] Let me say go to the 5-minute real quick.
[18:27] Trying to go Okay, 5-minute is too high.
[18:30] Trying to go Okay, 5-minute is too high.
[18:30] I'm going to show you what I'm looking for.
[18:33] Maybe a 3-minute.
[18:33] I just want to show you something.
[18:38] Try my Okay, I can't show it to you.
[18:40] Let me see.
[18:42] Is there something like a
[18:48] I mean Okay, there's not a 90-second chart.
[18:52] All right.
[18:52] Point that I'm trying to make is that that a order block is nothing more than a set of highs and lows, okay?
[19:00] Mhm.
[19:00] So, if I track how how the market bought,
[19:05] after after we made this low, price went up,
[19:08] made this high, or this one.
[19:12] I don't know, somewhere in here.
[19:12] Came down, made a low, then went up.
[19:18] Mhm.
[19:18] Okay?
[19:18] And my point is is that
[19:31] we have a set of highs and lows that
[19:34] we have a set of highs and lows that were taking us down and a set of highs
[19:37] were taking us down and a set of highs and lows that were taking us up
[19:39] and lows that were taking us up and it's overlapping this the overall
[19:43] and it's overlapping this the overall same area, right?
[19:50] So, this is the overall like area,
[19:53] So, this is the overall like area, really,
[19:54] really, but
[19:56] but you know, it's it's a little muddy.
[19:58] It's a little hard to see, but, you know,
[20:01] this is all of the areas of balance, right?
[20:03] right? Sell, buy, sell, buy, sell, buy.
[20:05] We went sideways
[20:08] sideways and the result was bearish.
[20:09] Here, we did the same thing. Buy, sell,
[20:12] buy and the result was bullish.
[20:15] When you see this happening, what you
[20:19] have to think about behind the scenes as far as order flow goes
[20:21] is this is a very bold statement.
[20:24] is this is a very bold statement.
[20:26] is this is a very bold statement.
[20:28] is this is a very bold statement.
[20:31] a very bold statement. Buyers are showing that
[20:34] Buyers are showing that not only did sellers not have enough
[20:39] not only did sellers not have enough potential for them to
[20:41] potential for them to do this lower cuz what should have
[20:42] do this lower cuz what should have happened was something like this.
[20:46] If this area if we sold from there, we
[20:49] If this area if we sold from there, we should have retraced, made a lower high,
[20:50] should have retraced, made a lower high, right?
[20:52] right? Right. We didn't. So, that's why I say
[20:55] Right. We didn't. So, that's why I say it's a very [clears throat] bold
[20:56] it's a very [clears throat] bold statement. Mhm. Buyers are saying, "Bro,
[21:00] statement. Mhm. Buyers are saying, "Bro, you sellers are so funny.
[21:02] you sellers are so funny. You're so weak. Look at how high we we
[21:06] You're so weak. Look at how high we we came back.
[21:07] came back. Okay?
[21:09] Okay? So, all of this isn't a And then look at
[21:11] So, all of this isn't a And then look at the response. The sellers can't take
[21:13] the response. The sellers can't take price back down.
[21:16] price back down. They can't even close below the low of
[21:19] They can't even close below the low of the prior candle.
[21:23] So, the box So, so the sellers are are
[21:26] So, the box So, so the sellers are are are are very weak.
[21:29] What I've been teaching students is that
[21:31] What I've been teaching students is that when you see this dynamic, you should
[21:33] when you see this dynamic, you should expect continuation.
[21:36] expect continuation. That's
[21:37] That's And And what's happening behind the
[21:38] And And what's happening behind the scenes in in the orders is that there's
[21:41] scenes in in the orders is that there's a lot of orders
[21:44] a lot of orders being submitted. Aggressive buyers
[21:47] being submitted. Aggressive buyers fighting all of these sellers.
[21:50] fighting all of these sellers. These sellers are supposed to block
[21:52] These sellers are supposed to block buyers, but they're not having a
[21:54] buyers, but they're not having a successful They're not doing a great job
[21:56] successful They're not doing a great job at it.
[21:58] Now,
[22:00] Now, I call this zone
[22:02] I call this zone omega.
[22:06] Because that stands for the end, right?
[22:10] Because that stands for the end, right? Right.
[22:14] Okay.
[22:17] The beginning and the end. That's that's
[22:20] The beginning and the end. That's that's that's what that is. So, this is how
[22:22] that's what that is. So, this is how this trend
[22:26] this whole trend
[22:28] this whole trend this is how it's ending.
[22:35] So, then when we when we shift sentiment
[22:38] So, then when we when we shift sentiment and prove that, "Wait, we can take this
[22:40] and prove that, "Wait, we can take this area out."
[22:44] What we're doing is we're taking out
[22:46] What we're doing is we're taking out supply.
[22:48] supply. Or a area that showed a decrease in
[22:52] Or a area that showed a decrease in demand. It's the same thing.
[22:55] demand. It's the same thing. We're taking out an area
[22:57] We're taking out an area and we're uh we're increasing demand,
[23:00] and we're uh we're increasing demand, and we're trading above it. So, before
[23:02] and we're trading above it. So, before we ever even get a market structure
[23:05] we ever even get a market structure shift,
[23:06] shift, we already start shifting the sentiment
[23:10] we already start shifting the sentiment of the market
[23:12] of the market to bullish.
[23:17] I see you taking notes, so I'll go ahead
[23:19] I see you taking notes, so I'll go ahead and pause for a quick second.
[23:29] Okay. So now
[23:31] Okay. So now what So now that So this is this is an
[23:34] what So now that So this is this is an important interaction. Okay?
[23:38] important interaction. Okay? Now
[23:40] Now because of this
[23:42] because of this or uh because you can comprehend
[23:46] or uh because you can comprehend that
[23:47] that let me let me display it in a different
[23:50] let me let me display it in a different manner.
[23:55] And just very briefly, I'm going to
[23:57] And just very briefly, I'm going to delete this.
[24:05] And what I'm trying to show
[24:11] is that
[24:12] is that you can see
[24:14] you can see that the sentiment
[24:17] that the sentiment of the market is
[24:19] of the market is bearish when this area is made cuz
[24:22] bearish when this area is made cuz that's the way it went down, correct?
[24:25] that's the way it went down, correct? Right.
[24:26] Right. When we close above the area
[24:29] When we close above the area the sentiment shifts bullish.
[24:41] After we close above.
[24:44] After we close above. Mhm.
[24:44] Mhm. >> [clears throat]
[24:45] >> [clears throat] >> It will shift back bearish if we if we
[24:49] >> It will shift back bearish if we if we come down and close under it again, but
[24:52] come down and close under it again, but now the what what do we have to close
[24:54] now the what what do we have to close under?
[24:56] under? We have to close
[24:57] We have to close this whole demand zone.
[25:01] Right? That was made that shifted
[25:04] Right? That was made that shifted sentiment and we just did not do that.
[25:06] sentiment and we just did not do that. That didn't happen.
[25:08] That didn't happen. But the point is through this analysis
[25:10] But the point is through this analysis of sentiment we realized, okay,
[25:14] of sentiment we realized, okay, this area was bearish.
[25:16] this area was bearish. Sellers just lost.
[25:18] Sellers just lost. And and the whole point about trading is
[25:21] And and the whole point about trading is that we simply buy where sellers lost
[25:24] that we simply buy where sellers lost and we sell where buyers lost.
[25:26] and we sell where buyers lost. So, that's another perspective.
[25:30] So, that's another perspective. Mhm. So, the two perspectives that I
[25:32] Mhm. So, the two perspectives that I just showed you.
[25:35] just showed you. The first one was just understanding
[25:38] The first one was just understanding what areas to look at. So, it was to
[25:42] what areas to look at. So, it was to look at
[25:44] look at Oh, okay. Hold on.
[25:48] The first perspective was to was to look
[25:50] The first perspective was to was to look at
[25:52] at omega areas.
[25:55] omega areas. AKA
[25:56] AKA the last order block
[26:01] in a trend.
[26:06] The The significance of this
[26:14] is to wait
[26:17] is to wait for supply
[26:21] to to flip, basically.
[26:27] And become demand.
[26:37] Okay.
[26:39] Okay. The second approach we did was analyzing
[26:43] The second approach we did was analyzing the same area
[26:46] the same area as uh as order flow.
[26:58] >> And that is that is understanding that
[27:01] >> And that is that is understanding that um
[27:02] um bearish
[27:05] bearish and bullish
[27:07] and bullish order blocks
[27:09] order blocks in the same price range
[27:13] in the same price range can be interpreted
[27:18] as direct
[27:20] as direct threat.
[27:22] threat. Basically. Um if I'm not mistaken,
[27:24] Basically. Um if I'm not mistaken, aren't you ex-military?
[27:27] aren't you ex-military? Yes. Yeah, exactly. Okay, cool. So,
[27:30] Yes. Yeah, exactly. Okay, cool. So, direct threat. This is
[27:33] direct threat. This is This is a direct threat.
[27:36] This is a direct threat. And if not dealt with
[27:38] And if not dealt with most of the time means that this is this
[27:41] most of the time means that this is this person's losing.
[27:43] person's losing. Mhm. Like this person is shooting
[27:47] Mhm. Like this person is shooting this person point-blank range.
[27:51] Very hard to kind of dodge that bullet.
[27:55] Very hard to kind of dodge that bullet. Mhm.
[27:56] Mhm. Direct It's a direct threat when you
[27:58] Direct It's a direct threat when you have competing
[28:00] have competing order blocks in the same price range
[28:03] order blocks in the same price range like this.
[28:05] like this. You most of the time you're going to see
[28:07] You most of the time you're going to see that price will just continue a little
[28:09] that price will just continue a little bit. Okay?
[28:13] So, that's that's an order flow
[28:15] So, that's that's an order flow perspective. And um you would just
[28:17] perspective. And um you would just understand that there's a lot of buyers
[28:19] understand that there's a lot of buyers in here fighting all the sellers here.
[28:25] And then
[28:28] And then this is where sentiment comes into play
[28:32] this is where sentiment comes into play a little bit. Really, I should focus on
[28:34] a little bit. Really, I should focus on sentiment first.
[28:36] sentiment first. Mhm.
[28:38] Mhm. Cuz it's easier to understand.
[28:40] Cuz it's easier to understand. After you mark out your omega area and
[28:43] After you mark out your omega area and we trade above it,
[28:45] we trade above it, you realize that, okay, well, we were
[28:47] you realize that, okay, well, we were bearish until that happened.
[28:49] bearish until that happened. It doesn't mean the market structure has
[28:52] It doesn't mean the market structure has flipped, but it means that like okay,
[28:54] flipped, but it means that like okay, buyers are taking out buyers are taking
[28:56] buyers are taking out buyers are taking out sellers in some kind of way.
[28:59] out sellers in some kind of way. So now, sentiment starts to shift
[29:02] So now, sentiment starts to shift and you realize that if we're coming
[29:04] and you realize that if we're coming back down,
[29:07] back down, the odds are higher that we're selling
[29:10] the odds are higher that we're selling to buy cuz the sentiment of this area is
[29:14] to buy cuz the sentiment of this area is no longer bearish, it's bullish. Does
[29:16] no longer bearish, it's bullish. Does that make sense?
[29:17] that make sense? Yes.
[29:19] Yes. Okay. So, that's that's that's the
[29:22] Okay. So, that's that's that's the that's the takeaway with analyzing it
[29:23] that's the takeaway with analyzing it from this perspective.
[29:25] from this perspective. This perspective is what ICC is.
[29:32] Mhm. I'm going to go ahead and bridge
[29:34] Mhm. I'm going to go ahead and bridge that gap momentarily.
[29:36] that gap momentarily. Okay? So, sentiment is just examining
[29:41] Okay? So, sentiment is just examining a examining
[29:44] a examining areas that shift
[29:47] areas that shift from bullish
[29:50] from bullish to bearish
[29:52] to bearish and vice versa.
[29:56] That's it.
[29:58] That's it. Um and
[30:02] Um and hold on.
[30:04] hold on. And maintaining
[30:10] um
[30:12] um the bias of the most recent
[30:18] the bias of the most recent shift in sentiment.
[30:22] Okay?
[30:25] So, when when we shift sentiment,
[30:29] So, when when we shift sentiment, you and and and you see green, you you
[30:32] you and and and you see green, you you maintain a bullish bias.
[30:36] maintain a bullish bias. It doesn't mean that price has to buy,
[30:39] It doesn't mean that price has to buy, but it means that the sentiment, the
[30:42] but it means that the sentiment, the idea,
[30:43] idea, you you're you're just being aware and
[30:45] you you're you're just being aware and cognizant that these buyers intend to
[30:47] cognizant that these buyers intend to buy. So, even if we did come lower,
[30:51] buy. So, even if we did come lower, what if we never broke market structure?
[30:53] what if we never broke market structure? Now, it's a higher low.
[30:55] Now, it's a higher low. And, you know, the market goes up
[30:57] And, you know, the market goes up because price couldn't price could have
[30:59] because price couldn't price could have in theory have come a lot lower.
[31:03] Mhm. Right.
[31:05] Mhm. Right. Because [clears throat] because this
[31:06] Because [clears throat] because this area is a little is a little messy.
[31:10] But, yeah.
[31:11] But, yeah. Also,
[31:13] Also, but but but you maintain the bias that
[31:15] but but but you maintain the bias that if buyers didn't want to shift market
[31:19] if buyers didn't want to shift market structure, then why did they take out
[31:21] structure, then why did they take out supply?
[31:22] supply? Why did they turn supply into an
[31:24] Why did they turn supply into an increase in demand?
[31:26] increase in demand? Okay? Like, why didn't we fight so hard
[31:29] Okay? Like, why didn't we fight so hard if they didn't desire to
[31:31] if they didn't desire to maybe shift market structure at some
[31:33] maybe shift market structure at some point.
[31:34] point. So, that's the idea of sentiment, okay?
[31:37] So, that's the idea of sentiment, okay? This sentiment helps keep you out of
[31:40] This sentiment helps keep you out of cells.
[31:42] cells. Understanding sentiment helps you helps
[31:44] Understanding sentiment helps you helps you look at the market in such a way to
[31:45] you look at the market in such a way to where
[31:47] where you're not going to be um focused on the
[31:50] you're not going to be um focused on the fact that price went up
[31:53] fact that price went up into a bearish area,
[31:55] into a bearish area, and now it's coming back down, and you
[31:57] and now it's coming back down, and you think this is ICC
[32:00] think this is ICC right here.
[32:03] You know, you think this is a
[32:04] You know, you think this is a correction, and we're going to come all
[32:06] correction, and we're going to come all the way back down to here.
[32:09] the way back down to here. So, sentiment is is there to try to save
[32:12] So, sentiment is is there to try to save your bias or save you from having the
[32:14] your bias or save you from having the wrong bias and getting into the wrong
[32:16] wrong bias and getting into the wrong trades, as well as getting into the
[32:18] trades, as well as getting into the right ones.
[32:20] right ones. Yeah.
[32:23] The reason why I said I should talk
[32:25] The reason why I said I should talk about sentiment first is cuz now this is
[32:28] about sentiment first is cuz now this is going to conclude the order flow
[32:30] going to conclude the order flow section.
[32:32] section. So, the order flow section started off
[32:34] So, the order flow section started off by understanding
[32:37] you have to think about the buyers the
[32:39] you have to think about the buyers the buyers and the sellers inside these
[32:41] buyers and the sellers inside these areas.
[32:43] areas. You got sellers here.
[32:45] You got sellers here. But you know you also got a little bit
[32:47] But you know you also got a little bit of buyers.
[32:49] of buyers. Mhm.
[32:50] Mhm. How else would we have made this wick?
[32:53] How else would we have made this wick? Buyers are are in here.
[32:56] Buyers are are in here. Buy candle, buy candle, buy candle. So
[32:58] Buy candle, buy candle, buy candle. So they tried
[33:00] they tried but they ultimately failed.
[33:03] but they ultimately failed. So now when we read down in here
[33:06] So now when we read down in here they're trying again.
[33:09] they're trying again. And you know that they're putting in a
[33:10] And you know that they're putting in a lot of orders cuz look at how it
[33:12] lot of orders cuz look at how it responded.
[33:15] responded. It's [clears throat] a direct threat.
[33:17] It's [clears throat] a direct threat. They they sellers had no ability to
[33:20] They they sellers had no ability to suppress buyers in time before we got up
[33:23] suppress buyers in time before we got up in here and the response was just very
[33:26] in here and the response was just very clean break above all of this suppress
[33:30] clean break above all of this suppress above all of this seller suppression.
[33:36] Now to conclude the order flow section
[33:39] Now to conclude the order flow section we're going to talk about this area.
[33:45] How how does this
[33:49] How how does this help us understand what how how how
[33:52] help us understand what how how how order flow gets concluded?
[33:54] order flow gets concluded? So
[33:57] probably better seen on a higher chart.
[34:00] probably better seen on a higher chart. Let's see.
[34:06] Nope.
[34:12] Okay.
[34:13] Okay. The 2-minute chart shows it in the way
[34:16] The 2-minute chart shows it in the way that I want to teach this.
[34:20] But you should already understand this.
[34:22] But you should already understand this. I I I believe. I think you I think you
[34:24] I I I believe. I think you I think you know this.
[34:25] know this. Okay?
[34:26] Okay? But you would you just have to perceive
[34:31] But you would you just have to perceive that sellers were present,
[34:34] that sellers were present, buyers overall took them out.
[34:38] buyers overall took them out. Sure, we paused for what,
[34:41] Sure, we paused for what, a minute?
[34:42] a minute? But that's it.
[34:43] But that's it. >> Yeah.
[34:44] >> Yeah. But so they just they overall buyers
[34:46] But so they just they overall buyers flowed and took out these sellers.
[34:49] flowed and took out these sellers. So then, if there's sellers here, buyers
[34:53] So then, if there's sellers here, buyers here,
[34:55] here, we rebalance sellers with buyers.
[34:59] we rebalance sellers with buyers. I just did a one-on-one and I and I
[35:01] I just did a one-on-one and I and I asked him this question.
[35:05] If you have -6,
[35:07] If you have -6, okay?
[35:10] okay? Say if you have -6 on a piece of paper.
[35:13] Say if you have -6 on a piece of paper. Mhm. And and I told you that we wanted
[35:16] Mhm. And and I told you that we wanted to cancel out this -6.
[35:19] to cancel out this -6. What would you do?
[35:23] You could 12.
[35:25] You could 12. Okay.
[35:27] Okay. Let's go ahead and take the numbers out
[35:28] Let's go ahead and take the numbers out of the equation.
[35:30] of the equation. If you had negative
[35:33] If you had negative Mhm.
[35:33] Mhm. and I told you to
[35:35] and I told you to >> Positive.
[35:36] >> Positive. So you would add positive to the
[35:37] So you would add positive to the negative, right?
[35:39] negative, right? Mhm. And when you do that, you get what?
[35:42] Mhm. And when you do that, you get what? Neutral?
[35:45] Neutral? Depending on how much positive you add
[35:46] Depending on how much positive you add to it, correct? Exactly, right? So if
[35:50] to it, correct? Exactly, right? So if I'm telling you that we want to cancel
[35:52] I'm telling you that we want to cancel it out,
[35:53] it out, in math what that means is make it zero.
[35:55] in math what that means is make it zero. Make it null and void.
[35:57] Make it null and void. Mhm.
[35:58] Mhm. >> [clears throat]
[35:58] >> [clears throat] >> We would want to rebalance it and make
[36:02] >> We would want to rebalance it and make it zero. Cancel it out.
[36:05] it zero. Cancel it out. Um so in this case, like the numbers
[36:07] Um so in this case, like the numbers don't matter. What I'm trying to show
[36:09] don't matter. What I'm trying to show you is exactly what what the conclusion
[36:11] you is exactly what what the conclusion is. If we have negative,
[36:13] is. If we have negative, we want to add positive to it.
[36:16] we want to add positive to it. Mhm. On the chart, if we have buyers,
[36:20] Mhm. On the chart, if we have buyers, there needs to be some sellers.
[36:22] there needs to be some sellers. If we have sellers, there needs to be
[36:24] If we have sellers, there needs to be some buyers. And if we have buyers,
[36:27] some buyers. And if we have buyers, there need to be some sellers. And if
[36:28] there need to be some sellers. And if there's sellers, there need to be some
[36:30] there's sellers, there need to be some buyers. And this is the engine of the
[36:33] buyers. And this is the engine of the market.
[36:36] Everything goes in one direction. I
[36:38] Everything goes in one direction. I don't know what direction If I point
[36:40] don't know what direction If I point this way, am I pointing to the right
[36:43] this way, am I pointing to the right for you? Yes. Okay, so it is different
[36:45] for you? Yes. Okay, so it is different for me. Okay, so
[36:48] for me. Okay, so um every time goes from left to right
[36:53] um every time goes from left to right on the chart.
[36:54] on the chart. So, when you have
[36:56] So, when you have buyer or no, and so in this case, when
[36:59] buyer or no, and so in this case, when you have sellers
[37:02] we need to meet those sellers with
[37:04] we need to meet those sellers with buyers.
[37:05] buyers. But then when we have buyers taking out
[37:07] But then when we have buyers taking out sellers, we need to rebalance that with
[37:10] sellers, we need to rebalance that with sellers. The sellers because cuz we went
[37:12] sellers. The sellers because cuz we went from sells to buys.
[37:15] from sells to buys. But now we need to rebalance that with
[37:16] But now we need to rebalance that with sells.
[37:18] sells. And then
[37:20] And then and then if we keep buying some more
[37:23] and then if we keep buying some more we need to bring some more sells back to
[37:25] we need to bring some more sells back to rebalance it. And that is what creates
[37:28] rebalance it. And that is what creates the engine of a trend, higher highs and
[37:31] the engine of a trend, higher highs and higher lows.
[37:32] higher lows. In other words
[37:35] In other words every time price buys up some more
[37:38] every time price buys up some more we need sellers to come back and and
[37:41] we need sellers to come back and and rebalance the market. Then price buys
[37:43] rebalance the market. Then price buys again.
[37:45] again. Then we need sellers to come back and
[37:47] Then we need sellers to come back and rebalance the market. Then it buys
[37:49] rebalance the market. Then it buys again.
[37:50] again. Then we need sellers to come back and
[37:52] Then we need sellers to come back and rebalance the market until we get
[37:54] rebalance the market until we get somewhere in price to where there's so
[37:57] somewhere in price to where there's so many sellers that they overcome buyers.
[38:04] This is going to This is going to
[38:06] This is going to This is going to conclude order flow and it's going to
[38:07] conclude order flow and it's going to directly segue us into what the higher
[38:10] directly segue us into what the higher time frame stuff that's important.
[38:13] time frame stuff that's important. What what high time frame stuff is
[38:15] What what high time frame stuff is important, okay?
[38:17] important, okay? So, let me kind of showcase this some
[38:19] So, let me kind of showcase this some more.
[38:27] >> We had sellers.
[38:29] >> We had sellers. Buyers took out sellers.
[38:32] Buyers took out sellers. So then we had to rebalance the market
[38:35] So then we had to rebalance the market by bringing some sell orders down
[38:39] by bringing some sell orders down and dropping them off.
[38:42] Then the market buys again.
[38:47] And and and this is the little scalping
[38:49] And and and this is the little scalping stuff, but it's all it doesn't really
[38:51] stuff, but it's all it doesn't really matter what time frame you you apply
[38:52] matter what time frame you you apply this on.
[38:53] this on. What I'm teaching you right now, Sai
[38:55] What I'm teaching you right now, Sai does this and he's he applies this
[38:58] does this and he's he applies this from a
[38:59] from a swing trade perspective. This is how the
[39:01] swing trade perspective. This is how the market moves. This is the engine.
[39:03] market moves. This is the engine. It happens on the small scales and on
[39:06] It happens on the small scales and on the large scales, so it doesn't matter.
[39:07] the large scales, so it doesn't matter. That's why you you can tell me at the
[39:10] That's why you you can tell me at the beginning of our one-on-one how you can
[39:12] beginning of our one-on-one how you can just apply this stuff any kind of way
[39:14] just apply this stuff any kind of way you want.
[39:17] So
[39:19] So we we understand
[39:21] we we understand this.
[39:25] Sellers were at this high.
[39:29] Sellers were at this high. Or or you know, they they have this area
[39:32] Or or you know, they they have this area in control, correct?
[39:34] in control, correct? Right.
[39:35] Right. Until
[39:37] Until buyers closed above it.
[39:41] So then as soon as that happens, the
[39:43] So then as soon as that happens, the sentiment has shifted from being bearish
[39:46] sentiment has shifted from being bearish to bullish.
[39:50] So same price line
[39:54] So same price line Sorry, same price line.
[39:57] Sorry, same price line. But
[39:58] But completely different story.
[40:02] completely different story. So you see how when we when we when
[40:04] So you see how when we when we when sellers when buyers come into the
[40:06] sellers when buyers come into the market, I'm I'm showing you at the
[40:07] market, I'm I'm showing you at the candle level now.
[40:09] candle level now. Sellers had to come back to where buyers
[40:12] Sellers had to come back to where buyers were.
[40:13] were. Yeah. Mhm. It happens over and over and
[40:17] Yeah. Mhm. It happens over and over and over again.
[40:21] So now I'm going to stop color coding my
[40:23] So now I'm going to stop color coding my lines.
[40:24] lines. I'm just going to make them
[40:26] I'm just going to make them for the sake of this, let's make them
[40:28] for the sake of this, let's make them yellow.
[40:31] Sellers were in control of this candle.
[40:39] Buyers took it out.
[40:43] There's a gap.
[40:55] And we need sellers to come down to
[40:57] And we need sellers to come down to rebalance buyers.
[41:02] So now even at the candle level, that's
[41:05] So now even at the candle level, that's why we bought right here.
[41:07] why we bought right here. Now, doesn't mean that that was going to
[41:09] Now, doesn't mean that that was going to be the buy forever cuz you know, I'm
[41:11] be the buy forever cuz you know, I'm analyzing some very small data.
[41:16] Okay? Okay.
[41:18] Okay? Okay. Now let's analyze it on a larger on a
[41:20] Now let's analyze it on a larger on a slightly larger scale. Slightly.
[41:23] slightly larger scale. Slightly. This is the next scale up, okay?
[41:25] This is the next scale up, okay? Cuz right now what I'm doing is I'm I'm
[41:27] Cuz right now what I'm doing is I'm I'm analyzing components. This is just a
[41:29] analyzing components. This is just a little piece of a candle.
[41:32] little piece of a candle. Let's go ahead and analyze the candle
[41:34] Let's go ahead and analyze the candle level now.
[41:35] level now. This whole area
[41:37] This whole area is bullish, isn't it?
[41:41] Yes. It's a bullish order block.
[41:45] Yes. It's a bullish order block. So So just like how we needed to come
[41:48] So So just like how we needed to come back and rebalance that candle,
[41:51] back and rebalance that candle, now you see market structure delivering
[41:55] now you see market structure delivering sell orders to where buyers are.
[42:01] So this is the engine that propels the
[42:04] So this is the engine that propels the market. But it doesn't go from the high
[42:08] market. But it doesn't go from the high time frame down.
[42:10] time frame down. It goes from the low time frame up.
[42:17] Right? And then until let's look look
[42:20] Right? And then until let's look look look at the high that gets made.
[42:23] look at the high that gets made. So, until
[42:26] buyers tap into an area where there's
[42:29] buyers tap into an area where there's such an overwhelming amount of sellers
[42:31] such an overwhelming amount of sellers that to where it can start to take all
[42:34] that to where it can start to take all of this out,
[42:36] of this out, this will be the narrative and the story
[42:38] this will be the narrative and the story that gets told.
[42:40] that gets told. Buys, sell sellers being taken out by
[42:44] Buys, sell sellers being taken out by buyers, and sellers coming down to
[42:46] buyers, and sellers coming down to retest the buyers. Buyers going up to
[42:49] retest the buyers. Buyers going up to take out sellers. Sellers coming down to
[42:51] take out sellers. Sellers coming down to retest the buyers. But then, that's on
[42:54] retest the buyers. But then, that's on one level.
[42:56] one level. That's on a little small level.
[42:58] That's on a little small level. This is on a slightly larger scale.
[43:01] This is on a slightly larger scale. And then we go up higher.
[43:04] And then we go up higher. And then
[43:08] we have to understand, well, why Why did
[43:10] we have to understand, well, why Why did Why was there so many sellers up here at
[43:13] Why was there so many sellers up here at this high to cause the trend to end? And
[43:16] this high to cause the trend to end? And when we look to the left,
[43:18] when we look to the left, we see that, well, there's a downtrend
[43:20] we see that, well, there's a downtrend here.
[43:21] here. So, let's put this back cuz you you
[43:23] So, let's put this back cuz you you already had this. This is why I said
[43:25] already had this. This is why I said this is the hardest part.
[43:28] You already know how to do this.
[43:31] You already know how to do this. You already know how to come in here and
[43:33] You already know how to come in here and be like, "Hey, this is a downtrend."
[43:35] be like, "Hey, this is a downtrend." Let's make that a little more faint.
[43:38] Let's make that a little more faint. Cool.
[43:40] The point is,
[43:43] The point is, what is the area
[43:47] that started the trend?
[43:51] that started the trend? So, down here,
[43:53] So, down here, we just did all of this analysis. This
[43:55] we just did all of this analysis. This is omega. This is the end. This is how
[43:58] is omega. This is the end. This is how this whole trend ended. Well, how did
[44:00] this whole trend ended. Well, how did this trend start?
[44:03] this trend start? Well, this was the high.
[44:08] And
[44:09] And this is going to change depending on the
[44:10] this is going to change depending on the timeframe you're on, but overall like
[44:13] timeframe you're on, but overall like like let's go back up to the 5-minute.
[44:19] You
[44:20] You you got to still keep an overall frame
[44:22] you got to still keep an overall frame of mind. But this is the this is the
[44:25] of mind. But this is the this is the the high of the trend.
[44:26] the high of the trend. Price came down, made a low.
[44:28] Price came down, made a low. Made a lower high.
[44:30] Made a lower high. Failed to go higher, came down and made
[44:32] Failed to go higher, came down and made a lower low.
[44:34] a lower low. So
[44:36] So this is the lower high
[44:37] this is the lower high that broke the low.
[44:40] that broke the low. Now this right here is alpha.
[44:49] Um find a different color.
[44:54] Yellow shows up fine.
[44:57] Yellow shows up fine. This is alpha.
[45:04] So let's go back down here. This right
[45:07] So let's go back down here. This right here is
[45:11] omega.
[45:16] And these are the These are like low-key
[45:20] And these are the These are like low-key so bread and butter, that's why the
[45:22] so bread and butter, that's why the group is called A&O, alpha and omega,
[45:25] group is called A&O, alpha and omega, okay?
[45:27] okay? So now these these aren't the only
[45:31] So now these these aren't the only these aren't the only um
[45:34] these aren't the only um order blocks or areas of of internal
[45:37] order blocks or areas of of internal market structure
[45:39] market structure that are important.
[45:42] that are important. But they're pretty damn important that I
[45:45] But they're pretty damn important that I call the whole group alpha and omega
[45:47] call the whole group alpha and omega traders.
[45:50] traders. So
[45:51] So this is this is what's going on.
[45:54] this is this is what's going on. Now
[45:55] Now the same reason why I marked out omega
[45:58] the same reason why I marked out omega is the same reason why I mark out alpha
[46:01] is the same reason why I mark out alpha cuz what does it represent?
[46:03] cuz what does it represent? It represents the first area
[46:06] It represents the first area where demand decreased
[46:10] where demand decreased in this entire downtrend.
[46:18] If
[46:19] If if if if the demand for something goes
[46:22] if if if the demand for something goes down, what happens to price?
[46:26] down, what happens to price? Price drops. Exactly. So, when we have
[46:29] Price drops. Exactly. So, when we have lower highs in the market, lower prices,
[46:33] lower highs in the market, lower prices, that is reflective of demand increasing
[46:36] that is reflective of demand increasing or decreasing?
[46:37] or decreasing? Decreasing. When we have higher lows in
[46:40] Decreasing. When we have higher lows in the market, is that reflective of demand
[46:42] the market, is that reflective of demand increasing or decreasing?
[46:47] You said the higher lows? Decreasing
[46:48] You said the higher lows? Decreasing increasing. Exactly. If we have higher
[46:51] increasing. Exactly. If we have higher highs in the market,
[46:55] is that reflective of demand increasing
[46:57] is that reflective of demand increasing or decreasing?
[46:59] or decreasing? Increasing. Exactly. So, you get the
[47:02] Increasing. Exactly. So, you get the point.
[47:04] point. Okay? If we have lower lows in the
[47:06] Okay? If we have lower lows in the market,
[47:08] market, is that reflective of demand increasing
[47:10] is that reflective of demand increasing or decreasing?
[47:13] or decreasing? Demand decreasing.
[47:15] Demand decreasing. Okay.
[47:16] Okay. So,
[47:19] So, when we So, when we start to break,
[47:27] when we when when we come up here and we
[47:30] when we when when we come up here and we break a high,
[47:33] break a high, what does that mean about these highs up
[47:36] what does that mean about these highs up here?
[47:37] here? These high These higher highs?
[47:43] What does that mean about them? That
[47:45] What does that mean about them? That mean demand is It's showing that demand
[47:48] mean demand is It's showing that demand is increasing. Exactly.
[47:51] is increasing. Exactly. It's changing. Yeah, it Exactly. It's
[47:53] It's changing. Yeah, it Exactly. It's showing that demand is is
[47:57] Now, that doesn't mean that
[48:00] Now, that doesn't mean that you should take the buy at this time,
[48:03] you should take the buy at this time, but you already understand that
[48:07] but you already understand that why would we
[48:09] why would we you know what I mean? Why would we break
[48:10] you know what I mean? Why would we break market structure if we didn't intend to
[48:12] market structure if we didn't intend to try to do so?
[48:16] Now, what you're what you're aware of
[48:18] Now, what you're what you're aware of though is, well, hey, even though demand
[48:21] though is, well, hey, even though demand is increasing in relation to this high,
[48:25] is increasing in relation to this high, demand is still decreasing in relation
[48:28] demand is still decreasing in relation to this high.
[48:31] So, then that means
[48:33] So, then that means buyers still have work to do.
[48:37] And it means that sellers
[48:40] And it means that sellers while they're losing lower prices,
[48:42] while they're losing lower prices, they're still in control of higher
[48:44] they're still in control of higher prices.
[48:45] prices. Mhm.
[48:47] Mhm. This is the work and the frame that you
[48:50] This is the work and the frame that you have to have and and and this is the
[48:53] have to have and and and this is the work that you have to do
[48:55] work that you have to do to understand when is it time to take
[48:58] to understand when is it time to take these trades.
[49:01] these trades. So, even though we could look at this
[49:03] So, even though we could look at this and be like, well, I think overall price
[49:06] and be like, well, I think overall price is looking like it wants to go up.
[49:09] is looking like it wants to go up. Right?
[49:10] Right? We have higher lows, but we don't have
[49:13] We have higher lows, but we don't have any higher highs yet, do we?
[49:17] So, from an overall structural
[49:20] So, from an overall structural perspective, who's still in control of
[49:22] perspective, who's still in control of the market?
[49:24] the market? Sellers. Exactly, sellers are.
[49:28] Sellers. Exactly, sellers are. But,
[49:29] But, look at all of the early warning signs
[49:32] look at all of the early warning signs that we have that buyers [clears throat]
[49:35] that we have that buyers [clears throat] are taking control before they
[49:37] are taking control before they ultimately do.
[49:39] ultimately do. Mhm.
[49:41] Mhm. So, what you know how to do
[49:44] So, what you know how to do is you know how to analyze
[49:47] is you know how to analyze the the the overall
[49:51] the the the overall middle
[49:52] middle of price. That's the This is what I call
[49:54] of price. That's the This is what I call the middle of price.
[49:57] the middle of price. Like the in-betweenness of price action,
[50:00] Like the in-betweenness of price action, this weird little scale. You You know
[50:03] this weird little scale. You You know how to see that.
[50:04] how to see that. And what I teach what I teach people all
[50:07] And what I teach what I teach people all day is how to analyze the small
[50:10] day is how to analyze the small little minute details of price action
[50:14] little minute details of price action to know that, yo, before we ever break
[50:17] to know that, yo, before we ever break the high, we already knew we were
[50:19] the high, we already knew we were bullish. And we knew we were bullish,
[50:22] bullish. And we knew we were bullish, not to toot my own horn,
[50:25] not to toot my own horn, over here.
[50:28] And this is how we can have the
[50:30] And this is how we can have the confidence to take
[50:33] confidence to take not this entry,
[50:35] not this entry, but this entry.
[50:39] This is how we can have the confidence
[50:41] This is how we can have the confidence for just a little bit better timing. So,
[50:44] for just a little bit better timing. So, you You You entered up here
[50:46] you You You entered up here because you understand
[50:49] because you understand how to how to I'm going to how to tell
[50:51] how to how to I'm going to how to tell the direction pretty well. But now for
[50:53] the direction pretty well. But now for timing,
[50:55] timing, timing becomes extremely important when
[50:58] timing becomes extremely important when we're going to talk about scalping.
[51:00] we're going to talk about scalping. So, everything I'm talking about here is
[51:03] So, everything I'm talking about here is scalping specific.
[51:06] scalping specific. These are the little tiny nuances that's
[51:08] These are the little tiny nuances that's going to let us know, hm, it's not time
[51:10] going to let us know, hm, it's not time to take that buy, but rather it sure is
[51:12] to take that buy, but rather it sure is time to take a sell.
[51:14] time to take a sell. It's those little moments that let us
[51:16] It's those little moments that let us know, okay, well,
[51:19] know, okay, well, this area could buy, but really
[51:23] if this is how this downtrend ended,
[51:27] if this is how this downtrend ended, and technically speaking, this whole
[51:30] and technically speaking, this whole entire area is alpha.
[51:35] And I could
[51:37] And I could The reason why I call them alpha and
[51:38] The reason why I call them alpha and omega, a lot of people got mad at me a
[51:40] omega, a lot of people got mad at me a couple days ago.
[51:41] couple days ago. It's a very funny funny video.
[51:44] It's a very funny funny video. I'm going to post it on on YouTube
[51:46] I'm going to post it on on YouTube because
[51:48] because I would always come here and just do
[51:50] I would always come here and just do this. I would I would say A and O.
[51:53] this. I would I would say A and O. Okay? Mhm.
[51:55] Okay? Mhm. Um like this.
[51:57] Um like this. Oh, uh
[51:58] Oh, uh I'll just change the
[52:01] I'll just change the color.
[52:03] color. Um nope, that's not what I'm looking
[52:05] Um nope, that's not what I'm looking for. Text color.
[52:08] for. Text color. I would just mark out the whole area and
[52:10] I would just mark out the whole area and call it A and O and people were like,
[52:11] call it A and O and people were like, "Romel Romel
[52:14] "Romel Romel you never taught us omega."
[52:17] you never taught us omega." Mhm.
[52:18] Mhm. And I'm like, "Oh, I thought y'all I
[52:20] And I'm like, "Oh, I thought y'all I thought y'all knew it." Cuz I did touch
[52:22] thought y'all knew it." Cuz I did touch on it, but I guess, you know,
[52:24] on it, but I guess, you know, I was shortcutting my way to it.
[52:27] I was shortcutting my way to it. Mhm. So, I would mark out these areas
[52:30] Mhm. So, I would mark out these areas and technically everyone thinks that,
[52:32] and technically everyone thinks that, "Oh, yeah, you just mark out how trends
[52:34] "Oh, yeah, you just mark out how trends start. Mark out how trends start.
[52:36] start. Mark out how trends start. Mark out how a trend start." With
[52:38] Mark out how a trend start." With without talking about how a trend ended.
[52:42] without talking about how a trend ended. The reason why is cuz they overlap.
[52:47] And even if I were to refine this down
[52:51] And even if I were to refine this down this is the first order block now
[52:55] this is the first order block now in this whole uptrend. Yeah, we bought
[52:58] in this whole uptrend. Yeah, we bought from here,
[52:59] from here, but all we did was kind of buy
[53:02] but all we did was kind of buy we made this overall area and we have an
[53:04] we made this overall area and we have an order block there
[53:06] order block there or we could look at this as a larger
[53:08] or we could look at this as a larger order block if that makes sense to you.
[53:13] Let me show you.
[53:14] Let me show you. Cuz it's market structure on the
[53:15] Cuz it's market structure on the 1-minute,
[53:17] 1-minute, but
[53:18] but if I go to a higher time frame, it's
[53:21] if I go to a higher time frame, it's it's
[53:21] it's it's not showing it that well just
[53:23] it's not showing it that well just because of when it was made.
[53:26] because of when it was made. Um
[53:27] Um I'm trying to show you that basically
[53:29] I'm trying to show you that basically it's a buy candle, bearish candle, buy
[53:31] it's a buy candle, bearish candle, buy candle overall type of interaction
[53:34] candle overall type of interaction happening.
[53:38] But
[53:40] But if you take it to a 4-month candle. Oh,
[53:42] if you take it to a 4-month candle. Oh, 4-minute.
[53:45] Okay, just four.
[53:47] Okay, just four. Okay, yeah. It's I'm trying to I'm
[53:49] Okay, yeah. It's I'm trying to I'm trying to show it, but but point is is
[53:51] trying to show it, but but point is is that you could you could assess this as
[53:55] that you could you could assess this as this whole thing
[53:56] this whole thing was just an order block.
[53:59] was just an order block. Ah,
[54:00] Ah, okay. Okay. [clears throat]
[54:02] okay. Okay. [clears throat] And so, because that's what it is,
[54:05] And so, because that's what it is, if we were to zoom out
[54:07] if we were to zoom out just just to show you this, for example,
[54:10] just just to show you this, for example, um
[54:11] um all of this right here,
[54:15] in theory, we could say all of this
[54:17] in theory, we could say all of this right here is just an order block.
[54:20] right here is just an order block. Cuz technically, if we start going up
[54:22] Cuz technically, if we start going up high enough, it will be.
[54:26] high enough, it will be. That's a 1-hour chart.
[54:28] That's a 1-hour chart. Ah.
[54:30] Ah. Mhm. [clears throat] So, so this this is
[54:33] Mhm. [clears throat] So, so this this is what I was saying when I was telling
[54:34] what I was saying when I was telling people that market structure is order
[54:36] people that market structure is order blocks.
[54:38] blocks. But then, they would get mad at me cuz
[54:41] But then, they would get mad at me cuz I'm telling them that market structure
[54:43] I'm telling them that market structure is an order block, and they don't like
[54:44] is an order block, and they don't like the word order block.
[54:47] the word order block. But but that's what this is.
[54:49] But but that's what this is. The market, you know, came down and made
[54:53] The market, you know, came down and made this low, lower high, lower low, lower
[54:55] this low, lower high, lower low, lower high, lower low, lower high, lower low,
[54:59] high, lower low, lower high, lower low, lower high. That's That's how the market
[55:01] lower high. That's That's how the market came down.
[55:03] came down. This is an order block.
[55:07] This is an order block. But when I go down to the lower time
[55:09] But when I go down to the lower time frames,
[55:10] frames, it appears [clears throat]
[55:11] it appears [clears throat] like market structure.
[55:16] So,
[55:17] So, being able to perceive the information
[55:20] being able to perceive the information on multiple scales is important. That's
[55:22] on multiple scales is important. That's all.
[55:23] all. But it's it's also synonymous. So,
[55:25] But it's it's also synonymous. So, that's why I was saying you can mark
[55:27] that's why I was saying you can mark that whole thing out as an order block.
[55:30] that whole thing out as an order block. That's that that that's the That's the
[55:32] That's that that that's the That's the connection.
[55:34] connection. And um
[55:36] And um or just understand that this area is the
[55:39] or just understand that this area is the area that matters if you had omega
[55:41] area that matters if you had omega marked out or you can delete omega
[55:46] marked out or you can delete omega and update your chart and just mark out
[55:48] and update your chart and just mark out alpha.
[55:50] alpha. It's the first order block really in
[55:52] It's the first order block really in this uptrend.
[55:54] this uptrend. And this is how we would have these
[55:56] And this is how we would have these would have been the nuances that we know
[55:59] would have been the nuances that we know on how to know
[56:01] on how to know even though this is a great entry
[56:04] even though this is a great entry this is the better timed entry in this
[56:07] this is the better timed entry in this particular zone.
[56:10] Okay?
[56:12] Okay? And um that's
[56:14] And um that's that's the those are some of the
[56:17] that's the those are some of the um nuances here.
[56:20] um nuances here. Now
[56:22] Now if you didn't want to take this position
[56:25] if you didn't want to take this position and you wanted a better timed entry
[56:28] and you wanted a better timed entry say over here somewhere
[56:33] you would do the same thing. Cuz watch
[56:35] you would do the same thing. Cuz watch this. Look at how this area like you
[56:37] this. Look at how this area like you have marked out. Look at how all this
[56:39] have marked out. Look at how all this stuff will overlap.
[56:41] stuff will overlap. Yes or no, is this a downtrend?
[56:46] That's downtrend.
[56:50] So then
[56:51] So then yes or no
[56:54] is this
[56:56] is this omega?
[57:02] Mhm.
[57:04] Mhm. It is.
[57:05] It is. >> Yes.
[57:17] So omega got taken out.
[57:23] That lets you know to take a buy, right?
[57:25] That lets you know to take a buy, right? But it didn't really get retested from
[57:28] But it didn't really get retested from this perspective. So this is why like I
[57:32] this perspective. So this is why like I I'd marking out my stuff overall. Right?
[57:36] I'd marking out my stuff overall. Right? This is actually just a This is This is
[57:38] This is actually just a This is This is just a little [clears throat] piece of
[57:39] just a little [clears throat] piece of market structure inside what actually
[57:42] market structure inside what actually happened.
[57:44] happened. And omega can really be interpreted like
[57:47] And omega can really be interpreted like this.
[57:52] Mhm.
[57:55] And so this right here, these these
[57:57] And so this right here, these these little nuances that we're running into
[58:00] little nuances that we're running into is what makes this a little difficult,
[58:02] is what makes this a little difficult, which is why I try to tell people, "Hey,
[58:05] which is why I try to tell people, "Hey, just stick to market structure cuz you
[58:07] just stick to market structure cuz you can't go wrong."
[58:09] can't go wrong." So, if I wanted to mark this whole area
[58:11] So, if I wanted to mark this whole area out here
[58:13] out here and call this alpha,
[58:16] the way that I would interpret that
[58:22] is just understand that well, when price
[58:25] is just understand that well, when price goes below
[58:26] goes below 50%
[58:29] 50% technically, we're in discount now.
[58:43] You see how price came down and it's
[58:45] You see how price came down and it's inside alpha, so we know we're in a area
[58:47] inside alpha, so we know we're in a area where we want to buy. Just like how you
[58:49] where we want to buy. Just like how you already knew that, too.
[58:51] already knew that, too. But, it didn't come down into discount
[58:54] But, it didn't come down into discount territory.
[58:57] So, so then So, then you can mark out
[59:00] So, so then So, then you can mark out the whole zone, take your plays off of
[59:03] the whole zone, take your plays off of and around 50% and buy.
[59:06] and around 50% and buy. Then, it starts to explain interactions
[59:09] Then, it starts to explain interactions like this.
[59:14] Oh. Because at the end of the day,
[59:19] Oh. Because at the end of the day, let's start bridging all these
[59:20] let's start bridging all these connections together. Market structure
[59:22] connections together. Market structure is important, right?
[59:24] is important, right? So,
[59:24] So, >> Yeah.
[59:25] >> Yeah. this whole area
[59:27] this whole area maintained bullish sentiment.
[59:34] This is alpha. Now, let's talk about
[59:37] This is alpha. Now, let's talk about alpha from the perspective of sentiment.
[59:42] And right, sentiment.
[59:46] And right, sentiment. This area was bearish until we broke
[59:49] This area was bearish until we broke above it, correct?
[59:51] above it, correct? Yeah.
[59:52] Yeah. But then
[59:58] since we broke above the high of the the
[01:00:01] since we broke above the high of the the high of the area,
[01:00:06] the sentiment of this region was
[01:00:09] the sentiment of this region was bullish.
[01:00:12] So, when we came back into this area, it
[01:00:15] So, when we came back into this area, it doesn't matter if we're selling, we
[01:00:17] doesn't matter if we're selling, we maintained the bias of the most recent
[01:00:20] maintained the bias of the most recent shift in sentiment until
[01:00:24] shift in sentiment until it proves
[01:00:26] it proves that it can take out these buyers, and
[01:00:29] that it can take out these buyers, and that never happened.
[01:00:31] that never happened. Mhm.
[01:00:32] Mhm. >> Cuz you know [clears throat] that buyers
[01:00:33] >> Cuz you know [clears throat] that buyers only get taken out if we close below
[01:00:36] only get taken out if we close below lows.
[01:00:38] lows. Right. So, the sentiment and the bias of
[01:00:42] Right. So, the sentiment and the bias of this region maintained bullish.
[01:00:48] I told you that's that sentiment is all
[01:00:51] I told you that's that sentiment is all ICC is, didn't I?
[01:00:54] ICC is, didn't I? Yeah. Okay. Well, then, here's your
[01:00:57] Yeah. Okay. Well, then, here's your indication.
[01:00:59] indication. Where's this at?
[01:01:04] There's your indication over here.
[01:01:14] Mhm.
[01:01:15] Mhm. And then your whole correction phase
[01:01:27] >> And then your continuation.
[01:01:35] I get
[01:01:36] I get Right?
[01:01:37] Right? Now, the the the issue is is that the
[01:01:41] Now, the the the issue is is that the correction phase is not as simple as
[01:01:44] correction phase is not as simple as price closes below the high
[01:01:47] price closes below the high and then comes back and closes above the
[01:01:49] and then comes back and closes above the high cuz now that's a fake out.
[01:01:53] Mhm.
[01:01:54] Mhm. So, I've been trying to to correct what
[01:01:58] So, I've been trying to to correct what truly has to happen and the downtrend
[01:02:01] truly has to happen and the downtrend has to end.
[01:02:03] has to end. The sentiment is bearish.
[01:02:06] The sentiment is bearish. And the market structure is bearish.
[01:02:09] And the market structure is bearish. We are make make it lower highs, lower
[01:02:12] We are make make it lower highs, lower lower lows, lower highs, a whole bunch
[01:02:15] lower lows, lower highs, a whole bunch of lower like all this little tiny
[01:02:17] of lower like all this little tiny stuff.
[01:02:18] stuff. Right? So, if we start examining this,
[01:02:20] Right? So, if we start examining this, lower high, lower low, lower high, lower
[01:02:24] lower high, lower low, lower high, lower low, lower high, lower low, lower No, oh
[01:02:28] low, lower high, lower low, lower No, oh sorry. I'm I'm I'm saying that
[01:02:30] sorry. I'm I'm I'm saying that backwards. Lower high, now we're at
[01:02:32] backwards. Lower high, now we're at lower low.
[01:02:33] lower low. This people would look at that as a
[01:02:35] This people would look at that as a higher high maybe,
[01:02:36] higher high maybe, but still we would still need a higher
[01:02:38] but still we would still need a higher low to come down to go up.
[01:02:41] low to come down to go up. And we never got that. So, since So, the
[01:02:43] And we never got that. So, since So, the market structure never shifted up.
[01:02:46] market structure never shifted up. Mhm.
[01:02:47] Mhm. We're still make We're still bearish.
[01:02:49] We're still make We're still bearish. Lower lows, lower highs.
[01:02:51] Lower lows, lower highs. This is internal. It's noise. Doesn't
[01:02:54] This is internal. It's noise. Doesn't matter if this feels like a higher low,
[01:02:56] matter if this feels like a higher low, it wouldn't matter if we never got a
[01:02:58] it wouldn't matter if we never got a higher high after.
[01:03:00] higher high after. So, it's noise and the market structure
[01:03:02] So, it's noise and the market structure stays bearish until
[01:03:06] stays bearish until we make a equal low, now we make a
[01:03:08] we make a equal low, now we make a higher high, now higher low, now we're
[01:03:11] higher high, now higher low, now we're good.
[01:03:12] good. Now we actually have the first change of
[01:03:15] Now we actually have the first change of character
[01:03:18] for this whole move.
[01:03:21] for this whole move. For the first time
[01:03:23] For the first time the market shifted bullish down here
[01:03:28] the market shifted bullish down here internally. This is the first time we
[01:03:30] internally. This is the first time we actually got a set of highs and lows.
[01:03:35] actually got a set of highs and lows. Which means that what? This right here
[01:03:37] Which means that what? This right here is a new
[01:03:39] is a new alpha.
[01:03:45] This is the first high higher low
[01:03:48] This is the first high higher low that broke this higher high, the first
[01:03:50] that broke this higher high, the first set of higher highs and higher lows.
[01:03:53] set of higher highs and higher lows. And welcome to alpha.
[01:03:57] And the whole point of alpha and omega
[01:04:00] And the whole point of alpha and omega is understanding that
[01:04:02] is understanding that downtrends
[01:04:05] downtrends often times, not every time, but often
[01:04:08] often times, not every time, but often times
[01:04:10] times end where uptrends
[01:04:17] began.
[01:04:19] began. And the uptrend began here overall
[01:04:23] And the uptrend began here overall but it specifically began right here cuz
[01:04:26] but it specifically began right here cuz now this is alpha.
[01:04:31] And this is the type of interaction
[01:04:35] And this is the type of interaction and the type of overlap
[01:04:37] and the type of overlap that we get by only focusing on alpha
[01:04:42] that we get by only focusing on alpha or on
[01:04:44] or on or on omega. What am I doing?
[01:04:46] or on omega. What am I doing? Uh change this back to yellow, change
[01:04:49] Uh change this back to yellow, change this to white.
[01:04:51] this to white. No.
[01:04:52] No. This to white.
[01:04:54] This to white. Cool, right? So alpha is here. Now
[01:04:57] Cool, right? So alpha is here. Now there's another alpha on top of it.
[01:05:02] Okay?
[01:05:04] Okay? And so that's that's how we do this. And
[01:05:08] And so that's that's how we do this. And the whole area could be considered alpha
[01:05:11] the whole area could be considered alpha or you could look at it at from a
[01:05:13] or you could look at it at from a sentiment perspective. So, let's let's
[01:05:15] sentiment perspective. So, let's let's kind of clean up the chart a little bit.
[01:05:16] kind of clean up the chart a little bit. We see the downtrend, we see the
[01:05:18] We see the downtrend, we see the uptrend.
[01:05:20] uptrend. And this is what I'm trying to just get
[01:05:22] And this is what I'm trying to just get you to understand these little nuances.
[01:05:24] you to understand these little nuances. Okay?
[01:05:25] Okay? The sentiment of this area was bearish,
[01:05:28] The sentiment of this area was bearish, then it shifted bullish, and we
[01:05:30] then it shifted bullish, and we maintained that sentiment if we never
[01:05:32] maintained that sentiment if we never close below
[01:05:35] close below the low.
[01:05:37] the low. Right.
[01:05:39] Right. If we wick below the low, it's still
[01:05:41] If we wick below the low, it's still bullish.
[01:05:44] That's not synonymous with a candle
[01:05:47] That's not synonymous with a candle close.
[01:05:48] close. That's why candle closes are important.
[01:05:50] That's why candle closes are important. For example,
[01:05:52] For example, I could do the same thing. The sentiment
[01:05:54] I could do the same thing. The sentiment of this wick
[01:05:56] of this wick is bullish over here.
[01:06:10] The sentiment is bullish because it
[01:06:12] The sentiment is bullish because it rejected and went up.
[01:06:14] rejected and went up. So, when we come back into this area,
[01:06:17] So, when we come back into this area, if we don't close
[01:06:19] if we don't close below the low of the wick,
[01:06:22] below the low of the wick, we maintain the bias of the sentiment.
[01:06:28] Mhm.
[01:06:30] Mhm. So,
[01:06:31] So, welcome to
[01:06:34] wick sauce.
[01:06:37] wick sauce. This is very old school.
[01:06:41] This is very old school. At least for for me.
[01:06:43] At least for for me. But, it's the same thing. The sentiment
[01:06:45] But, it's the same thing. The sentiment of the area is bullish. So, now, what
[01:06:47] of the area is bullish. So, now, what what did we just do?
[01:06:52] We just came down and corrected.
[01:06:57] We just came down and corrected. We did
[01:06:58] We did I I would view the creation of the wick
[01:07:00] I I would view the creation of the wick as my indication.
[01:07:02] as my indication. We came down and corrected inside the
[01:07:04] We came down and corrected inside the range, never closed below, maintained
[01:07:09] range, never closed below, maintained the sentiment,
[01:07:10] the sentiment, and then we went and closed above.
[01:07:13] and then we went and closed above. I'm buying it.
[01:07:15] I'm buying it. You know, we have bullish order blocks.
[01:07:18] You know, we have bullish order blocks. We have price coming down for a retest.
[01:07:20] We have price coming down for a retest. Do you remember what I said about the
[01:07:22] Do you remember what I said about the market, how every time we should we
[01:07:23] market, how every time we should we close or take out sellers,
[01:07:27] close or take out sellers, price wants to come back and revisit
[01:07:29] price wants to come back and revisit that.
[01:07:32] What? Mhm.
[01:07:33] What? Mhm. We have sellers here.
[01:07:36] We have sellers here. Okay?
[01:07:37] Okay? Let's let's let's let's continue to just
[01:07:39] Let's let's let's let's continue to just examine sentiment. Sellers are here.
[01:07:43] examine sentiment. Sellers are here. Or at least the sentiment is bearish.
[01:07:46] Or at least the sentiment is bearish. Then we close above it. So now the
[01:07:48] Then we close above it. So now the sentiment shifts bullish.
[01:07:55] So now, not only do you have this area
[01:07:58] So now, not only do you have this area is bullish, but now this area is
[01:07:59] is bullish, but now this area is bullish, too.
[01:08:01] bullish, too. Mhm.
[01:08:03] Mhm. And now you have ICC at such a
[01:08:05] And now you have ICC at such a candlestick level. There are people out
[01:08:07] candlestick level. There are people out there who teach on YouTube. They teach
[01:08:09] there who teach on YouTube. They teach candle range theory version of ICC, and
[01:08:11] candle range theory version of ICC, and they do this on a 4-hour chart.
[01:08:14] they do this on a 4-hour chart. Or on a 1-hour chart.
[01:08:15] Or on a 1-hour chart. >> Oh.
[01:08:16] >> Oh. Because now imagine if this is a 4-hour
[01:08:18] Because now imagine if this is a 4-hour candle.
[01:08:22] And then you see price coming down here,
[01:08:23] And then you see price coming down here, you place a buy, and now this is all the
[01:08:26] you place a buy, and now this is all the money you just made on a 4-hour candles
[01:08:28] money you just made on a 4-hour candles going up.
[01:08:28] going up. >> Okay.
[01:08:29] >> Okay. Yeah. Do you see how
[01:08:32] Yeah. Do you see how Do you see how we can apply this on so
[01:08:34] Do you see how we can apply this on so many different scales?
[01:08:37] many different scales? Yeah. Yeah.
[01:08:39] Yeah. Yeah. ICC
[01:08:40] ICC >> pick one to just implement and use that
[01:08:42] >> pick one to just implement and use that way.
[01:08:43] way. >> Yes. That's what I'm saying. It's just
[01:08:44] >> Yes. That's what I'm saying. It's just so many of them. There Exactly. There's
[01:08:47] so many of them. There Exactly. There's so many different ways to apply ICC.
[01:08:49] so many different ways to apply ICC. This was one of the conversations I was
[01:08:51] This was one of the conversations I was having with Sai a long time ago in DMs
[01:08:53] having with Sai a long time ago in DMs before he and I just I don't know, it's
[01:08:54] before he and I just I don't know, it's not working out.
[01:08:56] not working out. Um and so it's like he was saying that,
[01:08:59] Um and so it's like he was saying that, "Yo, there's people who trade ICC in
[01:09:02] "Yo, there's people who trade ICC in different ways.
[01:09:03] different ways. The idea is that
[01:09:06] The idea is that you have
[01:09:08] you have um are you aware of ICT?
[01:09:11] um are you aware of ICT? Yes. Okay, cool. ICT
[01:09:14] Yes. Okay, cool. ICT is known as a person,
[01:09:16] is known as a person, but it's also a whole sort of trading
[01:09:19] but it's also a whole sort of trading philosophy.
[01:09:22] philosophy. And what do they do? They trade ICT in
[01:09:26] And what do they do? They trade ICT in so many different ways.
[01:09:30] You have so many different people on
[01:09:32] You have so many different people on YouTube who create their own ICT ICT
[01:09:36] YouTube who create their own ICT ICT content, create their own models, create
[01:09:39] content, create their own models, create their own perspectives, their own
[01:09:41] their own perspectives, their own approaches, and all of that.
[01:09:45] What what Sai had wanted me to do was to
[01:09:48] What what Sai had wanted me to do was to try to long time ago try to find people
[01:09:50] try to long time ago try to find people who were trading ICT in their own ways,
[01:09:54] who were trading ICT in their own ways, validate it, okay it, and
[01:09:58] validate it, okay it, and basically kind of introduce that because
[01:10:00] basically kind of introduce that because the truth is is you can apply the frame
[01:10:03] the truth is is you can apply the frame differently.
[01:10:06] differently. Sai applies it like a swing trader.
[01:10:11] The majority of people are not swing
[01:10:14] The majority of people are not swing traders.
[01:10:16] traders. So you can't apply his logic
[01:10:20] So you can't apply his logic directly from a swing trade perspective
[01:10:23] directly from a swing trade perspective down to a day trade perspective.
[01:10:28] He doesn't like day trading.
[01:10:30] He doesn't like day trading. Right?
[01:10:32] Right? You can't apply a day trading
[01:10:34] You can't apply a day trading perspective
[01:10:36] perspective to a scalping perspective.
[01:10:40] The The objective is different. So when
[01:10:43] The The objective is different. So when the when the objective changes, then the
[01:10:45] the when the objective changes, then the nuances and the relevant information
[01:10:47] nuances and the relevant information changes also.
[01:10:49] changes also. Okay?
[01:10:49] Okay? >> [clears throat]
[01:10:50] >> [clears throat] >> And and and there's going to be
[01:10:52] >> And and and there's going to be a
[01:10:53] a necessary addition as well as the
[01:10:56] necessary addition as well as the necessary subtraction of information
[01:11:00] necessary subtraction of information that's going to determine
[01:11:02] that's going to determine what information is going to be relevant
[01:11:05] what information is going to be relevant and what information is not relevant
[01:11:08] and what information is not relevant based on what your objective is.
[01:11:11] based on what your objective is. So,
[01:11:13] So, since your objective is to be able to
[01:11:16] since your objective is to be able to say, "Well, you know what? I just want
[01:11:18] say, "Well, you know what? I just want to be able to figure out how to interact
[01:11:19] to be able to figure out how to interact with price anytime I show up."
[01:11:22] with price anytime I show up." That's why I'm showing you all that all
[01:11:25] That's why I'm showing you all that all these different approaches and the best
[01:11:28] these different approaches and the best approach to think along the lines of
[01:11:32] approach to think along the lines of in order to be able to interact with
[01:11:34] in order to be able to interact with price anywhere
[01:11:36] price anywhere is sentiment.
[01:11:41] Okay.
[01:11:42] Okay. This This area is bullish. Now it's not
[01:11:46] This This area is bullish. Now it's not bullish anymore.
[01:11:49] Because technically speaking, sentiment
[01:11:51] Because technically speaking, sentiment is shifting all the time on massive
[01:11:55] is shifting all the time on massive scales and on small scales and on all of
[01:11:59] scales and on small scales and on all of the scales in between.
[01:12:02] the scales in between. And that's really been the meat of what
[01:12:04] And that's really been the meat of what I've been showing you so far for the
[01:12:06] I've been showing you so far for the past hour.
[01:12:08] past hour. We were We were bullish here. Didn't No,
[01:12:10] We were We were bullish here. Didn't No, we were bearish, then bullish.
[01:12:12] we were bearish, then bullish. But then, that's only at the order block
[01:12:15] But then, that's only at the order block level, supply and demand level.
[01:12:18] level, supply and demand level. Now market structure was bearish, but
[01:12:20] Now market structure was bearish, but now it's bullish.
[01:12:22] now it's bullish. And that's at the market structure
[01:12:23] And that's at the market structure level.
[01:12:24] level. Now I'm showing you at the candlestick
[01:12:26] Now I'm showing you at the candlestick level. Yo, the wick is bullish.
[01:12:30] level. Yo, the wick is bullish. And it stayed bullish or the wick was
[01:12:32] And it stayed bullish or the wick was bearish. Now it's bullish. So,
[01:12:36] bearish. Now it's bullish. So, sentiment is When I say it's the premise
[01:12:38] sentiment is When I say it's the premise of price action, it really is.
[01:12:42] of price action, it really is. Um and you can apply it anywhere and
[01:12:44] Um and you can apply it anywhere and everywhere.
[01:12:45] everywhere. Uh
[01:12:47] Uh because at the end of the day, that's
[01:12:48] because at the end of the day, that's how the market moves. The The only does
[01:12:51] how the market moves. The The only does a couple things and people over
[01:12:53] a couple things and people over complicate it.
[01:12:55] complicate it. Um
[01:12:57] Um but then you have a whole lot of people
[01:12:58] but then you have a whole lot of people who don't
[01:13:00] who don't talk.
[01:13:01] talk. There's a difference between something
[01:13:03] There's a difference between something that's complicated and something that's
[01:13:05] that's complicated and something that's comprehensive.
[01:13:07] comprehensive. And you have a lot of people who call
[01:13:09] And you have a lot of people who call what I
[01:13:10] what I what I call
[01:13:12] what I call Okay, there's a lot of people that call
[01:13:13] Okay, there's a lot of people that call my approach to the market complicated.
[01:13:18] my approach to the market complicated. It's not complicated.
[01:13:20] It's not complicated. It's comprehensive.
[01:13:23] Right? It's contextual.
[01:13:27] Right? It's contextual. The more information there is, the more
[01:13:29] The more information there is, the more you have to understand, but what what is
[01:13:32] you have to understand, but what what is my goal? My goal is to get you to know
[01:13:34] my goal? My goal is to get you to know how to read.
[01:13:36] how to read. So now, I don't care how many pages I
[01:13:38] So now, I don't care how many pages I put in front of you.
[01:13:40] put in front of you. Can you read?
[01:13:42] Can you read? Can you sound it out? Then you should
[01:13:44] Can you sound it out? Then you should have no problem. You should be able to
[01:13:47] have no problem. You should be able to open up any book
[01:13:49] open up any book on any page and read it from top to
[01:13:52] on any page and read it from top to bottom.
[01:13:54] bottom. If you know how to read words and sound
[01:13:57] If you know how to read words and sound it out, okay? So that's what I teach. I
[01:14:00] it out, okay? So that's what I teach. I teach grammar. I teach you how to read,
[01:14:02] teach grammar. I teach you how to read, how to interpret. So then when you find
[01:14:05] how to interpret. So then when you find yourself
[01:14:07] yourself anywhere, you can be in the middle of a
[01:14:09] anywhere, you can be in the middle of a sentence and you know what that word is.
[01:14:10] sentence and you know what that word is. You can be at the top, you can be at the
[01:14:12] You can be at the top, you can be at the end, you can be in paragraph two, you
[01:14:14] end, you can be in paragraph two, you can be [clears throat] in paragraph
[01:14:15] can be [clears throat] in paragraph seven.
[01:14:16] seven. It doesn't matter where you're at.
[01:14:18] It doesn't matter where you're at. You can read it.
[01:14:20] You can read it. And that's what you said your goal is.
[01:14:23] And that's what you said your goal is. That's how I trade. A lot of people
[01:14:25] That's how I trade. A lot of people aren't like that. They they they're
[01:14:27] aren't like that. They they they're probably not like how you and I are.
[01:14:30] probably not like how you and I are. A lot of other people just be like,
[01:14:32] A lot of other people just be like, "Look, man.
[01:14:35] That's cool and all. I don't even like
[01:14:36] That's cool and all. I don't even like reading.
[01:14:39] reading. Just
[01:14:40] Just tell me how to tell me how to tell me
[01:14:42] tell me how to tell me how to tell me how to read the first sentence of every
[01:14:44] how to read the first sentence of every page and that's all I want to know.
[01:14:47] So then,
[01:14:49] So then, you need to learn a certain type of
[01:14:51] you need to learn a certain type of sentence called an introduction.
[01:14:56] Unfortunately, that's all you're going
[01:14:57] Unfortunately, that's all you're going to know.
[01:14:59] to know. You You know, that's the structure of a
[01:15:00] You You know, that's the structure of a paragraph, right? You have an
[01:15:02] paragraph, right? You have an introduction sent You have an
[01:15:03] introduction sent You have an introduction.
[01:15:05] introduction. But, you will forego the key points, you
[01:15:09] But, you will forego the key points, you will forego the elaboration, and you
[01:15:11] will forego the elaboration, and you will forego the conclusion. So, you
[01:15:13] will forego the conclusion. So, you won't have a comprehensive understanding
[01:15:16] won't have a comprehensive understanding of the story, but you sure will know the
[01:15:18] of the story, but you sure will know the introduction.
[01:15:21] introduction. I have a question. Yeah.
[01:15:24] I have a question. Yeah. Um
[01:15:26] Um what happens when sentiment is bearish,
[01:15:30] what happens when sentiment is bearish, but
[01:15:31] but um
[01:15:32] um let's say the trend is bullish, or it's
[01:15:34] let's say the trend is bullish, or it's vice versa, or something like that. How
[01:15:37] vice versa, or something like that. How do we look at the market in that kind of
[01:15:39] do we look at the market in that kind of a sense?
[01:15:41] a sense? Okay. So, the way you look at the market
[01:15:44] Okay. So, the way you look at the market in that sense
[01:15:46] in that sense is exactly how I showed you. So, going
[01:15:48] is exactly how I showed you. So, going back to this chart,
[01:15:51] back to this chart, it's through your assessment of all of
[01:15:54] it's through your assessment of all of the scales of price action at hand.
[01:15:57] the scales of price action at hand. So, Mhm. that's exactly what What you
[01:16:00] So, Mhm. that's exactly what What you just said is exactly what's happening.
[01:16:03] just said is exactly what's happening. Let's just I will maybe.
[01:16:05] Let's just I will maybe. Sellers are in overall control still.
[01:16:10] Sellers are in overall control still. However, the sentiment has
[01:16:12] However, the sentiment has shifted bullish.
[01:16:16] Right? Now, market structure is bullish
[01:16:18] Right? Now, market structure is bullish as well.
[01:16:19] as well. We have a higher high,
[01:16:21] We have a higher high, higher low,
[01:16:23] higher low, and um overall major higher high.
[01:16:26] and um overall major higher high. Or I know not sorry, not a higher high,
[01:16:28] Or I know not sorry, not a higher high, but a um ICC is what I'm trying to say.
[01:16:34] So, now market structure has
[01:16:35] So, now market structure has successfully shifted bullish at this
[01:16:38] successfully shifted bullish at this particular level.
[01:16:44] Mark structure has shifted bullish now
[01:16:46] Mark structure has shifted bullish now here.
[01:16:49] here. And but we still have not claimed and
[01:16:52] And but we still have not claimed and taken out the highs.
[01:16:55] taken out the highs. But it feels as though that is likely to
[01:16:59] But it feels as though that is likely to happen.
[01:17:01] happen. So
[01:17:03] So but because because market structure
[01:17:05] but because because market structure shifted on this massive scale, you have
[01:17:07] shifted on this massive scale, you have to be prepared for
[01:17:11] a potential downside cuz technically
[01:17:13] a potential downside cuz technically speaking now
[01:17:15] speaking now price could theoretically come back down
[01:17:17] price could theoretically come back down to this area and buy.
[01:17:20] to this area and buy. Price could theoretically come all the
[01:17:22] Price could theoretically come all the way down to alpha
[01:17:24] way down to alpha and buy.
[01:17:25] and buy. So you have to be prepared
[01:17:27] So you have to be prepared [clears throat]
[01:17:27] [clears throat] for for certain risks.
[01:17:31] But
[01:17:32] But um
[01:17:33] um to to say the same thing or well no, to
[01:17:36] to to say the same thing or well no, to to answer the question in a different
[01:17:38] to answer the question in a different way a little bit more simply.
[01:17:43] You asked me basically if the sentiment
[01:17:46] You asked me basically if the sentiment is one thing but the market is another
[01:17:48] is one thing but the market is another thing, what do I do about that, right?
[01:17:52] thing, what do I do about that, right? Yeah.
[01:17:53] Yeah. So I wrote down market structure,
[01:17:55] So I wrote down market structure, sentiment and the trend. I'm kind of
[01:17:57] sentiment and the trend. I'm kind of like looking at all times to see who's
[01:17:59] like looking at all times to see who's bearish and who's bullish, the market
[01:18:01] bearish and who's bullish, the market structure, sentiment and trend. Yeah.
[01:18:03] structure, sentiment and trend. Yeah. Okay, so
[01:18:05] Okay, so so you're you're the answer to your
[01:18:07] so you're you're the answer to your question is you just pick a range and
[01:18:10] question is you just pick a range and you play it.
[01:18:12] you play it. Mhm.
[01:18:13] Mhm. >> [clears throat]
[01:18:13] >> [clears throat] >> If so this is where
[01:18:16] >> If so this is where cuz cuz this is where I was going to
[01:18:17] cuz cuz this is where I was going to segue, okay? Do you do you remember how
[01:18:20] segue, okay? Do you do you remember how I said there's so many different ways to
[01:18:22] I said there's so many different ways to approach ICC?
[01:18:24] approach ICC? Yeah. And and how I said size is a swing
[01:18:27] Yeah. And and how I said size is a swing trader approach?
[01:18:30] trader approach? Mhm. Okay, well you have a scalping
[01:18:32] Mhm. Okay, well you have a scalping approach, you have a intraday trading
[01:18:35] approach, you have a intraday trading approach, you have a day trading
[01:18:36] approach, you have a day trading approach.
[01:18:38] approach. before you ever get to a swing trading
[01:18:39] before you ever get to a swing trading approach.
[01:18:42] approach. And so, what does that mean?
[01:18:44] And so, what does that mean? It means that he has injected himself
[01:18:47] It means that he has injected himself into the equation.
[01:18:50] into the equation. Out of all of these potential areas and
[01:18:53] Out of all of these potential areas and all of these potential trades that we
[01:18:55] all of these potential trades that we that we saw, okay? We saw a buy happen
[01:18:59] that we saw, okay? We saw a buy happen here.
[01:19:00] here. We saw a buy happen here.
[01:19:03] We saw a buy happen here. We saw sells happen up here.
[01:19:07] We saw sells happen up here. You could have saw a sell happen here
[01:19:09] You could have saw a sell happen here with the lower high breaking the low.
[01:19:11] with the lower high breaking the low. You saw buys happen in this overall
[01:19:14] You saw buys happen in this overall area,
[01:19:15] area, but inside this area, you also saw the
[01:19:17] but inside this area, you also saw the buy happen and take place
[01:19:22] down here.
[01:19:25] down here. So, you know that we're bullish over
[01:19:27] So, you know that we're bullish over here.
[01:19:28] here. You see a buy potential here. You see a
[01:19:30] You see a buy potential here. You see a buy confirmation or continuation here.
[01:19:33] buy confirmation or continuation here. You with a breakout or just this retest
[01:19:36] You with a breakout or just this retest and we're going up further. The point is
[01:19:38] and we're going up further. The point is is once we start to inject Leo
[01:19:41] is once we start to inject Leo into the equation,
[01:19:44] into the equation, and and if I asked you to pick your
[01:19:46] and and if I asked you to pick your finger up and literally point it on the
[01:19:49] finger up and literally point it on the screen and say, "This is where I want to
[01:19:52] screen and say, "This is where I want to take trades."
[01:19:54] take trades." Where would that be?
[01:19:57] Mhm.
[01:19:57] Mhm. >> [clears throat]
[01:20:00] >> For me, um
[01:20:03] >> For me, um I really like uh
[01:20:05] I really like uh where you showed right in the beginning
[01:20:09] where you showed right in the beginning um when that downtrend ended right there
[01:20:11] um when that downtrend ended right there and then the uptrend started. Yeah, that
[01:20:14] and then the uptrend started. Yeah, that order block was a bearish order block
[01:20:15] order block was a bearish order block overlapping a bullish order block. Yeah.
[01:20:17] overlapping a bullish order block. Yeah. I I really like that trade.
[01:20:19] I I really like that trade. Okay, cool.
[01:20:21] Okay, cool. So,
[01:20:23] So, to capture that trade,
[01:20:26] to capture that trade, you need to know one more thing and and
[01:20:28] you need to know one more thing and and this and this is the answer that
[01:20:30] this and this is the answer that question you asked me very early on.
[01:20:33] question you asked me very early on. And it's a good segue. You said um
[01:20:37] And it's a good segue. You said um what from the higher time frame do I
[01:20:39] what from the higher time frame do I need to know?
[01:20:42] Mhm.
[01:20:43] Mhm. >> [clears throat]
[01:20:44] >> [clears throat] >> You already have the answer.
[01:20:48] I'm going to stress test you right now.
[01:20:52] Okay.
[01:20:54] Okay. Before I do, let me give you some clues.
[01:20:57] Before I do, let me give you some clues. Okay.
[01:20:59] Okay. Where did this uptrend end?
[01:21:05] Okay.
[01:21:07] Um where that bearish trend began. Okay,
[01:21:11] Um where that bearish trend began. Okay, great. Where that
[01:21:13] great. Where that Okay, cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Where did
[01:21:15] Okay, cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Where did this downtrend end?
[01:21:20] Where that uptrend began.
[01:21:24] Where that uptrend began. Cool.
[01:21:26] Cool. Prior uptrend. Great.
[01:21:29] Prior uptrend. Great. So then
[01:21:32] So then what do you think is the case
[01:21:36] what do you think is the case regarding
[01:21:37] regarding this downtrend overall that just ended?
[01:21:42] Why why are we shifting market
[01:21:44] Why why are we shifting market structure? Cuz notice, that's what we
[01:21:45] structure? Cuz notice, that's what we do, right? Let's zoom in.
[01:21:48] do, right? Let's zoom in. Hold on, real quick.
[01:21:49] Hold on, real quick. Real quick.
[01:21:53] Do you see how we shifted market
[01:21:55] Do you see how we shifted market structure bullish here?
[01:21:59] Mhm. It broke above that high. Yeah. And
[01:22:02] Mhm. It broke above that high. Yeah. And and and you see how that was the first
[01:22:04] and and you see how that was the first time we shifted market structure
[01:22:06] time we shifted market structure bullish?
[01:22:08] bullish? Mhm.
[01:22:09] Mhm. And it's in it's in relation to a area
[01:22:12] And it's in it's in relation to a area of bullish sentiment or an alpha or
[01:22:14] of bullish sentiment or an alpha or stuff like this?
[01:22:17] stuff like this? Okay, yeah.
[01:22:18] Okay, yeah. So then what do you think is the case
[01:22:21] So then what do you think is the case about the market at this scale?
[01:22:24] about the market at this scale? I know it's a little choppy.
[01:22:26] I know it's a little choppy. But
[01:22:27] But >> Mhm.
[01:22:30] >> the market is shifting bullish.
[01:22:35] On a external
[01:22:37] On a external larger scale.
[01:22:41] Basically, I'm saying like
[01:22:46] the market is
[01:22:48] the market is um doing this, okay?
[01:22:52] It was downtrending.
[01:22:56] But now
[01:22:58] But now it's attempting to shift bullish.
[01:23:05] So, if so, if
[01:23:08] So, if so, if if market structure is shifting bullish,
[01:23:10] if market structure is shifting bullish, what my point is, there has to be
[01:23:12] what my point is, there has to be something that already
[01:23:15] something that already is trying to explain
[01:23:18] is trying to explain why the market structure is attempting
[01:23:20] why the market structure is attempting to shift bullish in this area. Just like
[01:23:23] to shift bullish in this area. Just like how we explained why it shifted bullish
[01:23:25] how we explained why it shifted bullish here.
[01:23:27] here. Mhm.
[01:23:28] Mhm. What do you think we need from the
[01:23:30] What do you think we need from the higher time frame to explain why the
[01:23:34] higher time frame to explain why the market is trying to go higher overall?
[01:23:40] Um
[01:23:42] Um The first thing I'm thinking about is
[01:23:43] The first thing I'm thinking about is jumping to a higher time frame and
[01:23:45] jumping to a higher time frame and looking left to see if there's a water
[01:23:46] looking left to see if there's a water block that explains why
[01:23:50] block that explains why um
[01:23:51] um or I'll look for a market structure
[01:23:53] or I'll look for a market structure shift, pretty much.
[01:24:00] You would be correct.
[01:24:03] You would be correct. Basically, there there has to be
[01:24:05] Basically, there there has to be something in the past.
[01:24:08] something in the past. Just there has to be something in the
[01:24:10] Just there has to be something in the past
[01:24:12] past from a higher time frame
[01:24:15] from a higher time frame that is explaining why the market is
[01:24:17] that is explaining why the market is trying to bottom out like this.
[01:24:20] trying to bottom out like this. And it might be called alpha.
[01:24:24] It might be
[01:24:26] It might be >> You know, exactly. That's that's my
[01:24:28] >> You know, exactly. That's that's my point.
[01:24:31] And or in other words, it's it's just
[01:24:33] And or in other words, it's it's just since it's buying, would this be a
[01:24:35] since it's buying, would this be a demand area or a supply area?
[01:24:38] demand area or a supply area? Demand.
[01:24:40] Demand. Exactly. So, we need to go back in time
[01:24:42] Exactly. So, we need to go back in time and just simply find a area of demand
[01:24:46] and just simply find a area of demand that is explaining why this is
[01:24:48] that is explaining why this is happening.
[01:24:50] happening. Mhm.
[01:24:52] Mhm. So,
[01:24:54] So, we can go do that.
[01:24:56] we can go do that. Right as of right now, there is no
[01:24:58] Right as of right now, there is no market structure here, there is there.
[01:25:00] market structure here, there is there. And I'm not seeing it. And like it
[01:25:02] And I'm not seeing it. And like it doesn't have to
[01:25:03] doesn't have to Yeah, so
[01:25:05] Yeah, so Yeah, so so market structure has
[01:25:07] Yeah, so so market structure has successfully shifted internally.
[01:25:11] successfully shifted internally. Internally, right.
[01:25:13] Internally, right. Meaning all of these higher highs,
[01:25:16] Meaning all of these higher highs, higher lows,
[01:25:17] higher lows, and this internal ICC,
[01:25:20] and this internal ICC, it has already successfully shifted. And
[01:25:22] it has already successfully shifted. And so, here's
[01:25:24] so, here's To say internally means to say this.
[01:25:28] To say internally means to say this. Just just give me one quick second to to
[01:25:30] Just just give me one quick second to to articulate this.
[01:25:33] articulate this. This up here is supply.
[01:25:44] Let's go ahead and
[01:25:46] Let's go ahead and sort of like clean this stuff clean this
[01:25:49] sort of like clean this stuff clean this stuff up.
[01:26:13] Okay.
[01:26:21] >> All right.
[01:26:28] Overall now, what what what we're going
[01:26:30] Overall now, what what what we're going to do is we're just going to examine
[01:26:32] to do is we're just going to examine that, okay?
[01:26:45] Yeah.
[01:26:46] Yeah. This right here is is is supply. So,
[01:26:48] This right here is is is supply. So, this is the start of a downtrend.
[01:26:51] this is the start of a downtrend. The reason why I marked this out as
[01:26:52] The reason why I marked this out as supply
[01:26:54] supply is is because this is where the high
[01:26:57] is is because this is where the high stopped, and this is the order block
[01:26:58] stopped, and this is the order block that explains it. That's all.
[01:27:01] that explains it. That's all. So, now
[01:27:03] So, now the market is still trading inside
[01:27:07] the market is still trading inside all of this bearish range.
[01:27:12] So, everything is internal in relation
[01:27:15] So, everything is internal in relation to
[01:27:16] to this downtrend
[01:27:19] this downtrend at the moment.
[01:27:23] We got
[01:27:25] We got this downtrend, also.
[01:27:29] this downtrend, also. And everything is still trading inside
[01:27:31] And everything is still trading inside of that.
[01:27:33] of that. So,
[01:27:34] So, externally speaking,
[01:27:36] externally speaking, the market structure has yet to shift
[01:27:39] the market structure has yet to shift bullish in a in a way that's going to
[01:27:42] bullish in a in a way that's going to elicit a long-term a long-term buy.
[01:27:46] elicit a long-term a long-term buy. But, like I said,
[01:27:49] But, like I said, the higher time frames do not exist
[01:27:51] the higher time frames do not exist without lower time frame shifts first.
[01:27:54] without lower time frame shifts first. Or, in other words,
[01:27:57] Or, in other words, higher scale shifts
[01:27:59] higher scale shifts need small scale shifts first. Look at
[01:28:03] need small scale shifts first. Look at Look at all of the progress we have
[01:28:04] Look at all of the progress we have made.
[01:28:07] Okay?
[01:28:08] Okay? Since since since we've been on the on
[01:28:10] Since since since we've been on the on the phone so far.
[01:28:12] the phone so far. The first shift that ever happened was
[01:28:15] The first shift that ever happened was this area of of sellers being taken out.
[01:28:18] this area of of sellers being taken out. Then it created a piece of market
[01:28:21] Then it created a piece of market structure internally, the first higher
[01:28:23] structure internally, the first higher low.
[01:28:24] low. Then we went up and took out some
[01:28:26] Then we went up and took out some internal highs.
[01:28:29] internal highs. Then we came down and we downtrended
[01:28:32] Then we came down and we downtrended and made a higher low.
[01:28:34] and made a higher low. Now, we're still struggling
[01:28:37] Now, we're still struggling because sellers are still in overall
[01:28:39] because sellers are still in overall control
[01:28:40] control of of of the market like I've been
[01:28:42] of of of the market like I've been saying.
[01:28:44] saying. And even though price is shifting
[01:28:46] And even though price is shifting sentiment, they have not confirmed that
[01:28:49] sentiment, they have not confirmed that they are going to trade up
[01:28:51] they are going to trade up uh because they haven't shifted market
[01:28:53] uh because they haven't shifted market structure externally.
[01:28:57] structure externally. However, internally they already have.
[01:28:59] However, internally they already have. Internally we already have a uptrend on
[01:29:00] Internally we already have a uptrend on our hands.
[01:29:02] our hands. Mhm.
[01:29:04] Mhm. But until buyers can follow through,
[01:29:07] But until buyers can follow through, externally price will not swing trade to
[01:29:10] externally price will not swing trade to the upside.
[01:29:13] It will only
[01:29:16] It will only intraday trade to the upside.
[01:29:20] Mhm.
[01:29:22] Mhm. Right? So So So this is how like I
[01:29:25] Right? So So So this is how like I perceive my price action at different
[01:29:27] perceive my price action at different scales without ever going up time
[01:29:30] scales without ever going up time frames.
[01:29:32] frames. I'm on a 1-minute chart still.
[01:29:35] I'm on a 1-minute chart still. And the And the only thing I'm doing is
[01:29:37] And the And the only thing I'm doing is zooming in
[01:29:39] zooming in and zooming out
[01:29:41] and zooming out and then zooming out some more.
[01:29:45] and then zooming out some more. And that's That's how I look at market
[01:29:47] And that's That's how I look at market structure.
[01:29:48] structure. Okay? Cuz when I look when I analyze it
[01:29:50] Okay? Cuz when I look when I analyze it in this way, watch.
[01:29:54] in this way, watch. If I analyze it in this way, which is
[01:29:56] If I analyze it in this way, which is how I do and how I teach,
[01:30:00] how I do and how I teach, cuz these are the high high highs and
[01:30:02] cuz these are the high high highs and lows of trends, correct?
[01:30:04] lows of trends, correct? Right. And this is the hard part for
[01:30:07] Right. And this is the hard part for people to do.
[01:30:09] people to do. But now
[01:30:11] But now if I shift my time frame up to a 1-hour,
[01:30:16] look at what I'm analyzing.
[01:30:20] High, low, high, low, high, low,
[01:30:25] High, low, high, low, high, low, and so on and so forth.
[01:30:29] 15-minute chart.
[01:30:31] 15-minute chart. Market structure.
[01:30:33] Market structure. So then all of the stuff in between,
[01:30:36] So then all of the stuff in between, it's important but not overall. It's
[01:30:39] it's important but not overall. It's important for your entries.
[01:30:42] important for your entries. This right here is technically a trend.
[01:30:47] Low,
[01:30:48] Low, high, higher low, higher high. Do you
[01:30:51] high, higher low, higher high. Do you see that?
[01:30:52] see that? Yeah.
[01:30:54] Yeah. Well,
[01:30:56] Well, from this perspective, this is
[01:30:59] from this perspective, this is both this is literally
[01:31:02] both this is literally alpha and omega at the same time. Is it
[01:31:05] alpha and omega at the same time. Is it not?
[01:31:06] not? Oh, wow.
[01:31:08] Oh, wow. Yeah.
[01:31:24] This is the first higher low in the
[01:31:25] This is the first higher low in the uptrend, but it's also the last set of
[01:31:27] uptrend, but it's also the last set of highs and lows in the down in the
[01:31:29] highs and lows in the down in the uptrend at the same time.
[01:31:35] But so so what happens?
[01:31:37] But so so what happens? Well, from the perspective of omega,
[01:31:41] Well, from the perspective of omega, it did not get respected. It got
[01:31:43] it did not get respected. It got disrespected.
[01:31:46] disrespected. And then we came back up to rebalance
[01:31:48] And then we came back up to rebalance it.
[01:31:49] it. So from the perspective of order flow
[01:31:51] So from the perspective of order flow and sentiment,
[01:31:57] there's buyers here,
[01:32:02] sellers here.
[01:32:06] And we need to come back to drop off
[01:32:09] And we need to come back to drop off some buyers
[01:32:10] some buyers before we go down.
[01:32:12] before we go down. Because this is that perspective of hey,
[01:32:14] Because this is that perspective of hey, we need to rebalance the market. And you
[01:32:16] we need to rebalance the market. And you remember that engine?
[01:32:18] remember that engine? This is what keeps the market going.
[01:32:22] This is what keeps the market going. So from if we're selling it's we have
[01:32:24] So from if we're selling it's we have buyers then sellers then buyers. Cool.
[01:32:27] buyers then sellers then buyers. Cool. Now we have sellers.
[01:32:33] Sellers.
[01:32:36] Sellers. Now we have buyers.
[01:32:41] And And it keeps happening over and
[01:32:43] And And it keeps happening over and over. We tapped into a lot of buyers for
[01:32:46] over. We tapped into a lot of buyers for some reason and we're going to go find
[01:32:47] some reason and we're going to go find it.
[01:32:48] it. And they're able to start, you know,
[01:32:51] And they're able to start, you know, like they're they're able they're able
[01:32:52] like they're they're able they're able to overcome a lot of the sellers that
[01:32:54] to overcome a lot of the sellers that are in here.
[01:32:56] are in here. Sellers. This is a bearish order block.
[01:32:58] Sellers. This is a bearish order block. Sellers. These are wicks and that's a
[01:33:00] Sellers. These are wicks and that's a bearish candle. All these sellers.
[01:33:04] bearish candle. All these sellers. There's sellers everywhere in here,
[01:33:05] There's sellers everywhere in here, okay?
[01:33:08] So
[01:33:10] So we've we tapped into a lot of buyers
[01:33:12] we've we tapped into a lot of buyers somewhere in the past and we start to
[01:33:14] somewhere in the past and we start to overcome a bunch of sellers.
[01:33:16] overcome a bunch of sellers. So now
[01:33:21] we got
[01:33:24] we got all these buyers. Small buyers.
[01:33:27] all these buyers. Small buyers. Buy.
[01:33:28] Buy. Buy.
[01:33:30] Buy. Buy buy buys happening everywhere. Buy.
[01:33:33] Buy buy buys happening everywhere. Buy. Buy. Taking up all eating up all of
[01:33:35] Buy. Taking up all eating up all of these sellers that are that are here.
[01:33:39] Okay?
[01:33:40] Okay? And so now the market comes back to
[01:33:42] And so now the market comes back to deliver and rebalance all these buyers.
[01:33:48] We got buyers at the low.
[01:33:51] We got buyers at the low. Okay? It comes back and rebalances all
[01:33:53] Okay? It comes back and rebalances all these buyers with some sellers.
[01:33:58] these buyers with some sellers. Yeah.
[01:34:02] But, the sentiment was already bullish
[01:34:05] But, the sentiment was already bullish cuz we know that from a lower time
[01:34:06] cuz we know that from a lower time frame.
[01:34:07] frame. And so, the point is is like this is
[01:34:09] And so, the point is is like this is just the engine. This is the engine.
[01:34:12] just the engine. This is the engine. So, let's go and let's let's stop
[01:34:15] So, let's go and let's let's stop stalling cuz I think I am starting to
[01:34:16] stalling cuz I think I am starting to run out of time. Let me check my phone.
[01:34:19] run out of time. Let me check my phone. And let me go back and look at a
[01:34:25] Let me go ahead and and and go back and
[01:34:27] Let me go ahead and and and go back and let's let's try to figure out what we
[01:34:29] let's let's try to figure out what we tapped into.
[01:34:32] So, we're on a 15-minute chart and I'm
[01:34:35] So, we're on a 15-minute chart and I'm I'm going to elect to zoom out
[01:34:38] I'm going to elect to zoom out to see if I don't if I don't have to
[01:34:39] to see if I don't if I don't have to scale up cuz I like detail.
[01:34:42] scale up cuz I like detail. So, clearly
[01:34:45] So, clearly let's zoom in here.
[01:34:47] let's zoom in here. This is the low of a whole uptrend at a
[01:34:49] This is the low of a whole uptrend at a larger scale.
[01:34:52] At at this point we're talking on a
[01:34:55] At at this point we're talking on a scale that that side trades, okay?
[01:34:58] scale that that side trades, okay? Because of our time frame
[01:35:01] Because of our time frame and because of how large this area is
[01:35:06] and because of how large this area is we are talking some pretty major price
[01:35:09] we are talking some pretty major price action.
[01:35:20] So,
[01:35:22] So, all we have to do is go in here and if
[01:35:24] all we have to do is go in here and if this is the uptrend, let's find alpha.
[01:35:29] This is the low.
[01:35:31] This is the low. These are highs.
[01:35:33] These are highs. These are all higher lows.
[01:35:35] These are all higher lows. It seems like alpha, general rule of
[01:35:37] It seems like alpha, general rule of thumb, it look is looking like alpha is
[01:35:40] thumb, it look is looking like alpha is just all in this area, okay?
[01:35:43] just all in this area, okay? That's my higher low.
[01:35:45] That's my higher low. That's my high.
[01:35:47] That's my high. Yep. All of this this is alpha.
[01:36:00] >> What is alpha?
[01:36:04] Um
[01:36:04] Um first order block in the trend.
[01:36:07] first order block in the trend. Yes, first order block as well as or and
[01:36:10] Yes, first order block as well as or and or the first set of highs and lows.
[01:36:12] or the first set of highs and lows. Yeah, in a in an uptrend.
[01:36:15] Yeah, in a in an uptrend. Do you agree with this as a healthy
[01:36:18] Do you agree with this as a healthy assessment of what alpha is?
[01:36:20] assessment of what alpha is? Yes. I would probably put that wick in
[01:36:23] Yes. I would probably put that wick in it, but it's good to see how you're
[01:36:25] it, but it's good to see how you're marking it out.
[01:36:27] marking it out. It's no problem. Put the wick in it.
[01:36:29] It's no problem. Put the wick in it. Just if you want to encompass a little
[01:36:31] Just if you want to encompass a little bit more of a range, that's okay.
[01:36:33] bit more of a range, that's okay. It don't matter.
[01:36:35] It don't matter. I had put it here because I just liked
[01:36:38] I had put it here because I just liked the way
[01:36:40] the way the price action looked over here.
[01:36:43] the price action looked over here. My eyes darted to a lot of other things,
[01:36:46] My eyes darted to a lot of other things, okay? That that I didn't mark out. My
[01:36:48] okay? That that I didn't mark out. My eyes darted to this low
[01:36:52] eyes darted to this low right here.
[01:36:53] right here. And whatever.
[01:36:56] And whatever. And then my eyes darted to this
[01:36:59] And then my eyes darted to this sort of healthy
[01:37:01] sort of healthy price price line.
[01:37:04] price price line. That's the only reason why I put it
[01:37:06] That's the only reason why I put it there. Otherwise,
[01:37:08] there. Otherwise, you can mark it out. It don't matter.
[01:37:09] you can mark it out. It don't matter. You got the area marked out. You good.
[01:37:13] This is historical data. I want I want
[01:37:17] This is historical data. I want I want to I want to keep this it
[01:37:19] to I want to keep this it There's so much to talk about, but this
[01:37:20] There's so much to talk about, but this is going to be historical.
[01:37:24] I want you to understand that this
[01:37:26] I want you to understand that this historical data only gives you an idea
[01:37:30] historical data only gives you an idea of where to trade. I'm just giving you a
[01:37:32] of where to trade. I'm just giving you a very strong piece of historical data,
[01:37:36] very strong piece of historical data, okay?
[01:37:37] okay? This gives you an idea of where the
[01:37:40] This gives you an idea of where the market is going to start taking
[01:37:42] market is going to start taking shifting and making some major
[01:37:44] shifting and making some major decisions. This is not a end all be all.
[01:37:48] decisions. This is not a end all be all. The market can do anything. The market
[01:37:50] The market can do anything. The market can flip this
[01:37:51] can flip this You know what I mean? Like
[01:37:53] You know what I mean? Like forgive my French, but the market can
[01:37:55] forgive my French, but the market can come down, Trump can say some
[01:37:57] come down, Trump can say some there can be a war, anything can happen.
[01:37:59] there can be a war, anything can happen. Mhm. So, but what I'm doing is I'm
[01:38:01] Mhm. So, but what I'm doing is I'm pointing out to you from a technical
[01:38:04] pointing out to you from a technical perspective,
[01:38:06] perspective, wouldn't that be
[01:38:08] wouldn't that be a pretty logical area
[01:38:11] a pretty logical area to think there's a ton of buyers in
[01:38:13] to think there's a ton of buyers in this whole uptrend?
[01:38:15] this whole uptrend? Mhm. Yeah. So So,
[01:38:18] Mhm. Yeah. So So, when we get back there,
[01:38:20] when we get back there, let's go back down to the 5-minute or
[01:38:22] let's go back down to the 5-minute or whatever low timeframe we were on. Let's
[01:38:24] whatever low timeframe we were on. Let's clean up this chart cuz I drew a whole
[01:38:26] clean up this chart cuz I drew a whole bunch of bubbles and
[01:38:29] bunch of bubbles and Okay?
[01:38:30] Okay? When we get down here, all we want to do
[01:38:33] When we get down here, all we want to do is start analyzing
[01:38:35] is start analyzing real-time
[01:38:37] real-time data.
[01:38:38] data. That's why I said historical data.
[01:38:42] The real-time data is going to be your
[01:38:45] The real-time data is going to be your assessment of everything we talked about
[01:38:47] assessment of everything we talked about in the beginning of this one-on-one,
[01:38:49] in the beginning of this one-on-one, okay?
[01:38:50] okay? Mhm.
[01:38:51] Mhm. Your assessment of of supply or demand
[01:38:56] Your assessment of of supply or demand shifting, your assessment of
[01:38:59] shifting, your assessment of market structure,
[01:39:02] market structure, and all the things that are happening
[01:39:03] and all the things that are happening here.
[01:39:04] here. Let's Let's clean this up.
[01:39:11] It's going to be your assessment of
[01:39:14] It's going to be your assessment of everything that's going to start
[01:39:16] everything that's going to start shifting in this area cuz cuz now, you
[01:39:19] shifting in this area cuz cuz now, you tell me,
[01:39:20] tell me, is this area bullish or bearish?
[01:39:23] is this area bullish or bearish? This um that I marked out.
[01:39:26] This um that I marked out. Bullish.
[01:39:27] Bullish. Yep. Until you close and and break or
[01:39:30] Yep. Until you close and and break or yeah, close and break below or close and
[01:39:33] yeah, close and break below or close and below it.
[01:39:34] below it. Break it.
[01:39:38] Yep.
[01:39:41] So,
[01:39:43] So, yes, exactly. So, like I'm saying, this
[01:39:46] yes, exactly. So, like I'm saying, this is this is demand.
[01:39:49] is this is demand. This is alpha.
[01:39:51] This is alpha. This is historical data.
[01:39:53] This is historical data. Sure, on a 1-minute chart, let's see, we
[01:39:55] Sure, on a 1-minute chart, let's see, we came down and closed below.
[01:39:57] came down and closed below. But, look at what we did immediately
[01:39:59] But, look at what we did immediately after, okay? You're going to get fake
[01:40:00] after, okay? You're going to get fake outs.
[01:40:02] outs. 5-minute chart, it never closed below.
[01:40:05] 5-minute chart, it never closed below. See what I'm saying?
[01:40:07] See what I'm saying? If anything, it offered rejection.
[01:40:10] If anything, it offered rejection. What do you know about
[01:40:13] What do you know about this from a sentiment perspective? Is it
[01:40:16] this from a sentiment perspective? Is it bullish or is it bearish?
[01:40:19] bullish or is it bearish? Um, that's another demand. That's
[01:40:20] Um, that's another demand. That's bullish.
[01:40:22] bullish. Yes. And there's a order block in there.
[01:40:25] Yes. And there's a order block in there. Yeah.
[01:40:26] Yeah. Okay?
[01:40:28] Okay? And so, you know that that area is
[01:40:30] And so, you know that that area is bullish.
[01:40:32] bullish. So, you're analyzing a component
[01:40:35] So, you're analyzing a component of a candle, right? Or something like
[01:40:37] of a candle, right? Or something like that. But, then you see that Okay, well,
[01:40:41] that. But, then you see that Okay, well, this area was was out was omega.
[01:40:45] this area was was out was omega. Right?
[01:40:46] Right? Um, and that just got taken out.
[01:40:52] Um, and that just got taken out. There's direct competition and a direct
[01:40:54] There's direct competition and a direct threat, like we already discussed.
[01:40:57] threat, like we already discussed. And price goes up higher.
[01:40:59] And price goes up higher. Look at where it closed above.
[01:41:03] Look at where it closed above. It closed above the area that was that
[01:41:06] It closed above the area that was that was bullish. From the from the
[01:41:07] was bullish. From the from the historical data.
[01:41:09] historical data. Right? So, now you start getting
[01:41:11] Right? So, now you start getting confluence.
[01:41:13] confluence. Right? So, and so, you already
[01:41:15] Right? So, and so, you already understand that the sentiment of this
[01:41:17] understand that the sentiment of this area
[01:41:18] area is bullish now.
[01:41:21] is bullish now. Mhm. Okay? From an order flow
[01:41:23] Mhm. Okay? From an order flow perspective, you understand that there's
[01:41:26] perspective, you understand that there's buy orders all in this fresh demand
[01:41:30] buy orders all in this fresh demand eating up all of these sell orders.
[01:41:34] eating up all of these sell orders. So, this is from sentiment shifting. You
[01:41:37] So, this is from sentiment shifting. You also have a perspective of understanding
[01:41:39] also have a perspective of understanding that if that this right here is demand
[01:41:42] that if that this right here is demand and price didn't close below that
[01:41:44] and price didn't close below that either.
[01:41:47] So, multiple perspectives to be able to
[01:41:49] So, multiple perspectives to be able to perceive that sentiment is shifting. And
[01:41:53] perceive that sentiment is shifting. And why can you be confident to take a trade
[01:41:56] why can you be confident to take a trade like this?
[01:41:57] like this? Only because we're inside of a area
[01:41:59] Only because we're inside of a area that's already bullish in a major way.
[01:42:03] that's already bullish in a major way. All the way from back here.
[01:42:06] All the way from back here. So, [clears throat]
[01:42:07] So, [clears throat] yes, this area is bullish, but you need
[01:42:10] yes, this area is bullish, but you need to sit down.
[01:42:12] to sit down. And you need to be a just a little bit
[01:42:13] And you need to be a just a little bit patient. And see
[01:42:16] patient. And see what a lot of people they they they talk
[01:42:18] what a lot of people they they they talk everything up that I'm I'm talking about
[01:42:20] everything up that I'm I'm talking about all these little nuances. They chalk it
[01:42:22] all these little nuances. They chalk it up to one word.
[01:42:24] up to one word. Called rejection.
[01:42:28] Price has rejected going lower.
[01:42:32] Price has rejected going lower. And the confirmation of that rejection
[01:42:35] And the confirmation of that rejection is all of these little nuances and all
[01:42:38] is all of these little nuances and all of these sellers getting taken out.
[01:42:41] of these sellers getting taken out. We're closing above not only the area
[01:42:44] We're closing above not only the area that's bullish, but now look, we're
[01:42:46] that's bullish, but now look, we're closing above the high of this bearish
[01:42:49] closing above the high of this bearish candle.
[01:42:55] With all of that
[01:42:57] With all of that like imagine how many sellers had to be
[01:42:59] like imagine how many sellers had to be on this candle.
[01:43:01] on this candle. There's [clears throat] so many ways to
[01:43:05] There's [clears throat] so many ways to to understand sentiment shifting in the
[01:43:08] to understand sentiment shifting in the market.
[01:43:12] All of the data that you see is useful.
[01:43:16] All of the data that you see is useful. Okay?
[01:43:18] Okay? So,
[01:43:19] So, if we're in a area where price should
[01:43:22] if we're in a area where price should buy [snorts] cuz it bought there before
[01:43:24] buy [snorts] cuz it bought there before and it's the first overall time where
[01:43:26] and it's the first overall time where where back in that area again.
[01:43:29] where back in that area again. And you see in real time that we are
[01:43:32] And you see in real time that we are starting to shift.
[01:43:35] starting to shift. That's all you need to see. You just
[01:43:37] That's all you need to see. You just have to understand now that we shift
[01:43:40] have to understand now that we shift one scale at a time.
[01:43:42] one scale at a time. Small scales
[01:43:45] Small scales to
[01:43:46] to internal scales
[01:43:50] internal scales to
[01:43:51] to larger scales until we prove that we're
[01:43:55] larger scales until we prove that we're bullish in a major way
[01:43:57] bullish in a major way to go back up and come back
[01:44:01] to go back up and come back all of this selling pressure.
[01:44:03] all of this selling pressure. Right?
[01:44:05] Right? >> [clears throat]
[01:44:15] >> from over here. So, all of this that I
[01:44:19] >> from over here. So, all of this that I just drew out is a mock-up of
[01:44:22] just drew out is a mock-up of just I'm not saying it's going to shift
[01:44:24] just I'm not saying it's going to shift this way, but hypothetically,
[01:44:27] this way, but hypothetically, this is the work that would be done at
[01:44:30] this is the work that would be done at larger and larger and larger scales of
[01:44:33] larger and larger and larger scales of price action
[01:44:36] price action to prove that we're going to sell.
[01:44:39] to prove that we're going to sell. So, for example, imagine imagine all of
[01:44:42] So, for example, imagine imagine all of the sellers that were
[01:44:45] the sellers that were that were chilling maybe right here.
[01:44:48] that were chilling maybe right here. Okay?
[01:44:50] Okay? Imagine all of the people who were here
[01:44:52] Imagine all of the people who were here and and because of what they knew, they
[01:44:55] and and because of what they knew, they knew that the market was going to short.
[01:44:59] They knew that they knew that the market
[01:45:01] They knew that they knew that the market was in an area where there were a lot of
[01:45:03] was in an area where there were a lot of sellers. This is This is an order block
[01:45:05] sellers. This is This is an order block for one
[01:45:07] for one up here.
[01:45:08] up here. But then this is a gap in market
[01:45:10] But then this is a gap in market structure here.
[01:45:16] Okay? So, you got a lot of people who
[01:45:19] Okay? So, you got a lot of people who jumped into short jumped into trades
[01:45:21] jumped into short jumped into trades early.
[01:45:24] But notice how the market had to really
[01:45:28] But notice how the market had to really prove that it could not take out it
[01:45:32] prove that it could not take out it couldn't take out highs.
[01:45:34] couldn't take out highs. And if it did, that it was super duper
[01:45:37] And if it did, that it was super duper short-lived.
[01:45:40] Just like how it was at the lows, like
[01:45:43] Just like how it was at the lows, like it's super short-lived. We As soon as we
[01:45:45] it's super short-lived. We As soon as we close above, we come right back in. No
[01:45:47] close above, we come right back in. No support, no higher high, right? Look at
[01:45:50] support, no higher high, right? Look at how the market needed to shift on so
[01:45:52] how the market needed to shift on so many more scales in order to prove that
[01:45:55] many more scales in order to prove that we were going to start selling off.
[01:45:58] we were going to start selling off. Um okay. So, that's what I'm getting at,
[01:46:01] Um okay. So, that's what I'm getting at, where I'm saying it's like the market is
[01:46:03] where I'm saying it's like the market is going to continue shifting sentiment.
[01:46:06] going to continue shifting sentiment. And And it all starts
[01:46:09] And And it all starts at the small scales and trickles up and
[01:46:12] at the small scales and trickles up and builds to the larger scales.
[01:46:16] builds to the larger scales. I could I could zoom in right here and
[01:46:18] I could I could zoom in right here and show you sentiment shifting.
[01:46:21] show you sentiment shifting. Look.
[01:46:24] I can come in here [clears throat] right
[01:46:26] I can come in here [clears throat] right now and show you how you you could have
[01:46:27] now and show you how you you could have caught this short.
[01:46:29] caught this short. Go down to a 1-minute chart.
[01:46:32] Go down to a 1-minute chart. And we can see all of this all of the
[01:46:34] And we can see all of this all of the sentiment shifts. There There it is.
[01:46:36] sentiment shifts. There There it is. Here's the uptrend.
[01:46:38] Here's the uptrend. Here's omega.
[01:46:43] There's the break.
[01:46:45] There's the break. There's the rebalance.
[01:46:49] Here So, so so this is BIR.
[01:46:52] Here So, so so this is BIR. A lot of people that you
[01:46:53] A lot of people that you Remember how I said people got mad at
[01:46:55] Remember how I said people got mad at me? It's because I It's because I taught
[01:46:57] me? It's because I It's because I taught omega from the perspective of BIR. Area
[01:47:00] omega from the perspective of BIR. Area of balance, imbalance, rebalance.
[01:47:04] of balance, imbalance, rebalance. But, this is the last area of the
[01:47:06] But, this is the last area of the uptrend.
[01:47:07] uptrend. Okay?
[01:47:08] Okay? From from a sentiment perspective,
[01:47:12] From from a sentiment perspective, this
[01:47:13] this whole area was bullish
[01:47:17] whole area was bullish until we
[01:47:19] until we offered a candle close below.
[01:47:23] Now, the sentiment of the area
[01:47:26] Now, the sentiment of the area or the intention
[01:47:28] or the intention is bearish. It's not confirmed until we
[01:47:31] is bearish. It's not confirmed until we get what? A lower high.
[01:47:35] But we come back and we place the high
[01:47:37] But we come back and we place the high where the sentiment shifted and that's
[01:47:39] where the sentiment shifted and that's the whole point.
[01:47:41] the whole point. So we can predict the highs and the lows
[01:47:43] So we can predict the highs and the lows of market structure if we analyze
[01:47:45] of market structure if we analyze sentiment.
[01:47:47] sentiment. Right?
[01:47:48] Right? Um
[01:47:49] Um because this is this is what's going on,
[01:47:51] because this is this is what's going on, right? We have a higher
[01:47:52] right? We have a higher high, higher low, higher high higher
[01:47:55] high, higher low, higher high higher low, higher high
[01:47:57] low, higher high then lower low.
[01:48:00] then lower low. Then lower high.
[01:48:02] Then lower high. Now all we're doing is just like we're
[01:48:04] Now all we're doing is just like we're we're waiting to come down and really
[01:48:06] we're waiting to come down and really break this level and just, you know,
[01:48:08] break this level and just, you know, offer
[01:48:09] offer just expansion um
[01:48:11] just expansion um to the downside per se. Okay? Mhm.
[01:48:14] to the downside per se. Okay? Mhm. >> [clears throat]
[01:48:15] >> [clears throat] >> Now that sentiment, let me show you
[01:48:17] >> Now that sentiment, let me show you order flow.
[01:48:19] order flow. Order flow says
[01:48:22] Order flow says that there are a ton of buyers here.
[01:48:33] There's a ton of buyers here.
[01:48:38] But then there might be a lot of buyers
[01:48:41] But then there might be a lot of buyers up here that just tried to take price
[01:48:43] up here that just tried to take price higher and they're trapped.
[01:48:47] higher and they're trapped. Okay?
[01:48:50] So
[01:48:51] So if buyers are at a high cuz that's what
[01:48:54] if buyers are at a high cuz that's what they are, I mean how else did price get
[01:48:55] they are, I mean how else did price get up here? It had to buy up here. So
[01:48:57] up here? It had to buy up here. So there's a bunch of buyers up here, okay?
[01:49:01] there's a bunch of buyers up here, okay? Mhm.
[01:49:04] Cool.
[01:49:06] Cool. Now
[01:49:08] Now what is this?
[01:49:11] Bearish order block. So then who's
[01:49:12] Bearish order block. So then who's there?
[01:49:14] there? Sellers. And sellers and and these
[01:49:16] Sellers. And sellers and and these sellers, what is their job?
[01:49:19] sellers, what is their job? To break through
[01:49:20] To break through uh
[01:49:21] uh loans or to make loans. To Yeah, to to
[01:49:25] loans or to make loans. To Yeah, to to make loans, but in this case, to take
[01:49:27] make loans, but in this case, to take the sellers are there to take these
[01:49:28] the sellers are there to take these buyers out.
[01:49:30] buyers out. Mhm. So, they do.
[01:49:34] Mhm. So, they do. And sellers pour in
[01:49:36] And sellers pour in or or or we can it's safe to assume that
[01:49:39] or or or we can it's safe to assume that they poured in cuz how else did price
[01:49:41] they poured in cuz how else did price How how else did price go down?
[01:49:49] So, this is order flow.
[01:49:51] So, this is order flow. And so, when we see a big heavy area
[01:49:55] And so, when we see a big heavy area where there's a lot of accumulation of
[01:49:56] where there's a lot of accumulation of buyers, there's buyers here, you know
[01:49:58] buyers, there's buyers here, you know what I mean? Buyers all in this candle.
[01:50:01] what I mean? Buyers all in this candle. Right? All in this area. There's buyers
[01:50:03] Right? All in this area. There's buyers there.
[01:50:05] there. Let's put a low at the bottom of that
[01:50:07] Let's put a low at the bottom of that candle. Cuz there's buyers all in this
[01:50:09] candle. Cuz there's buyers all in this candle. All of these sellers took all
[01:50:12] candle. All of these sellers took all these buyers out.
[01:50:16] So, in order to have done that
[01:50:20] So, in order to have done that we needed a pretty large amount of
[01:50:22] we needed a pretty large amount of sellers coming into the market to take
[01:50:24] sellers coming into the market to take those out. That's why that that's where
[01:50:25] those out. That's why that that's where we go from
[01:50:28] we go from How do I cancel out positive 60?
[01:50:32] Mhm. With what? Negative 60.
[01:50:36] Mhm. With what? Negative 60. Negative 60.
[01:50:37] Negative 60. And then how do I go
[01:50:40] And then how do I go How do I go below that by
[01:50:43] How do I go below that by canceling out positive 60 with negative
[01:50:45] canceling out positive 60 with negative 175?
[01:50:49] There's just more sellers.
[01:50:53] And then
[01:50:54] And then the whole rebalance nature of this is
[01:50:57] the whole rebalance nature of this is how do I cancel out
[01:50:59] how do I cancel out sellers now?
[01:51:01] sellers now? I just have to come down or I just have
[01:51:04] I just have to come down or I just have to put some buyers in here.
[01:51:06] to put some buyers in here. It doesn't need to be an equal amount. I
[01:51:08] It doesn't need to be an equal amount. I just need to drop some off.
[01:51:14] Because what is my objective?
[01:51:16] Because what is my objective? The objective is bearish. So, I don't
[01:51:19] The objective is bearish. So, I don't So, I'm not coming up here to put a crap
[01:51:21] So, I'm not coming up here to put a crap ton of buyers to cancel out these
[01:51:22] ton of buyers to cancel out these sellers. I just need to come up here and
[01:51:24] sellers. I just need to come up here and rebalance the market. I just need to put
[01:51:25] rebalance the market. I just need to put I just need to put a couple in here.
[01:51:28] I just need to put a couple in here. Nothing crazy.
[01:51:32] And then keep the market flowing down.
[01:51:35] And then keep the market flowing down. And then we
[01:51:37] And then we you know, you would understand that this
[01:51:39] you know, you would understand that this candle would have had
[01:51:41] candle would have had a lot of buyers littered all in that
[01:51:43] a lot of buyers littered all in that candle.
[01:51:57] And so, that's why I put that low there.
[01:52:00] And so, that's why I put that low there. And when we already come down, we took
[01:52:03] And when we already come down, we took out all these buyers, we shifted
[01:52:04] out all these buyers, we shifted sentiment. This is This is This is what
[01:52:07] sentiment. This is This is This is what you would start to discern if you had a
[01:52:08] you would start to discern if you had a footprint chart on, or if you were
[01:52:11] footprint chart on, or if you were seeing actual volume data populate on
[01:52:14] seeing actual volume data populate on your chart. This would be order flow,
[01:52:16] your chart. This would be order flow, and then when we take all that stuff
[01:52:18] and then when we take all that stuff out, the orders just continue to shift
[01:52:20] out, the orders just continue to shift to the downside and flow down cuz
[01:52:22] to the downside and flow down cuz sellers have gotten control.
[01:52:24] sellers have gotten control. And the market has successfully rotated.
[01:52:27] And the market has successfully rotated. This is where I'm at right now. This is
[01:52:29] This is where I'm at right now. This is how I like to trade.
[01:52:31] how I like to trade. I mark out my areas that I know how to
[01:52:33] I mark out my areas that I know how to mark out,
[01:52:34] mark out, and I analyze it from a perspective of
[01:52:37] and I analyze it from a perspective of sentiment.
[01:52:39] sentiment. Um
[01:52:43] because everything is sentiment, even at
[01:52:45] because everything is sentiment, even at the order at the order level.
[01:52:47] the order at the order level. Okay? Cuz sentiment is The only thing
[01:52:49] Okay? Cuz sentiment is The only thing that sentiment tries to tell us is is
[01:52:51] that sentiment tries to tell us is is the market going to go up,
[01:52:53] the market going to go up, or is the market going to go down?
[01:52:57] In other words, is the market bullish or
[01:52:59] In other words, is the market bullish or is it bearish?
[01:53:01] is it bearish? And the orders tell us that.
[01:53:04] And the orders tell us that. And so, if we analyze So, if we don't
[01:53:06] And so, if we analyze So, if we don't have the order data, if we don't have
[01:53:08] have the order data, if we don't have level two data, level one data, order
[01:53:11] level two data, level one data, order flow tools, all that kind of stuff,
[01:53:13] flow tools, all that kind of stuff, we're not paying for software, then the
[01:53:15] we're not paying for software, then the closest we can get to that
[01:53:18] closest we can get to that and the closest we can get to trading
[01:53:20] and the closest we can get to trading like them
[01:53:22] like them and like Sai, like anybody
[01:53:25] and like Sai, like anybody is through is through sentiment. It's a
[01:53:27] is through is through sentiment. It's a lost art.
[01:53:29] lost art. And I'm just I'm grateful that sentiment
[01:53:31] And I'm just I'm grateful that sentiment was the first thing I ever learned in my
[01:53:33] was the first thing I ever learned in my trading career 10 years ago.
[01:53:36] trading career 10 years ago. Mhm.
[01:53:38] Mhm. By By analyzing the market from a from
[01:53:41] By By analyzing the market from a from the perspective of up, down, buy, sell,
[01:53:44] the perspective of up, down, buy, sell, bullish, bearish, and asking yourself
[01:53:46] bullish, bearish, and asking yourself when, where, and why,
[01:53:48] when, where, and why, you get so close
[01:53:52] you get so close to executing
[01:53:55] like that.
[01:54:00] Okay?
[01:54:01] Okay? And so
[01:54:02] And so >> Okay. And so, before
[01:54:06] >> Okay. And so, before before we ever even had
[01:54:09] before we ever even had market structure on a 15-minute chart to
[01:54:12] market structure on a 15-minute chart to try to tell us what direction the market
[01:54:14] try to tell us what direction the market was going to go, we knew up here.
[01:54:18] Now, what
[01:54:20] Now, what Do we have a high time frame area? No,
[01:54:22] Do we have a high time frame area? No, but I bet you there is something over
[01:54:24] but I bet you there is something over here.
[01:54:25] here. There's something that that there's
[01:54:26] There's something that that there's something to try to tell us why price is
[01:54:28] something to try to tell us why price is selling.
[01:54:30] selling. It would be holy grail.
[01:54:33] It would be holy grail. So, we didn't talk about holy grail.
[01:54:36] So, we didn't talk about holy grail. I have no problem sitting down with you
[01:54:38] I have no problem sitting down with you again on on the house because I actually
[01:54:41] again on on the house because I actually enjoy teaching you.
[01:54:43] enjoy teaching you. And we can sit down and talk about holy
[01:54:45] And we can sit down and talk about holy grail cuz that's what this is.
[01:54:48] grail cuz that's what this is. Mhm.
[01:54:48] Mhm. >> This is the last order block that that
[01:54:51] >> This is the last order block that that went down and broke the low of this
[01:54:52] went down and broke the low of this trend.
[01:54:54] trend. Or not this. This this doesn't count.
[01:54:56] Or not this. This this doesn't count. It's like all of this balance, all of
[01:54:58] It's like all of this balance, all of this market structure where where buyers
[01:55:00] this market structure where where buyers failed.
[01:55:02] failed. Price was coming down here to try to be
[01:55:04] Price was coming down here to try to be bullish.
[01:55:05] bullish. But for some reason
[01:55:08] But for some reason it didn't follow through. And that's the
[01:55:10] it didn't follow through. And that's the point of mark of finding a holy grail
[01:55:12] point of mark of finding a holy grail area.
[01:55:14] area. So
[01:55:17] And and the
[01:55:18] And and the uh yeah, so the definition of holy grail
[01:55:20] uh yeah, so the definition of holy grail is an area that leads to the break of
[01:55:23] is an area that leads to the break of external market structure. That's the
[01:55:25] external market structure. That's the low of a trend.
[01:55:26] low of a trend. And so over here on the right, that's
[01:55:29] And so over here on the right, that's why we're rejecting.
[01:55:30] why we're rejecting. So
[01:55:32] So Mhm. But on a on a day-to-day intraday,
[01:55:36] Mhm. But on a on a day-to-day intraday, you get so far with alpha and so far
[01:55:39] you get so far with alpha and so far with omega.
[01:55:41] with omega. Um
[01:55:43] Um Let me go ahead and put these notes here
[01:55:44] Let me go ahead and put these notes here for omega for uh for alpha. My bad.
[01:55:47] for omega for uh for alpha. My bad. Alpha areas.
[01:55:50] Alpha areas. And this is technically the first Mhm.
[01:55:54] And this is technically the first Mhm. order block in a trend.
[01:55:58] order block in a trend. And then the significance of this
[01:56:03] signif-
[01:56:05] signif- Is that how you spell significant? Yeah,
[01:56:06] Is that how you spell significant? Yeah, okay, I guess so. Significance
[01:56:08] okay, I guess so. Significance of this is to
[01:56:11] of this is to What do you think it is?
[01:56:15] Wait for what?
[01:56:18] Um wait for um
[01:56:21] Um wait for um this will be a a decrease in the
[01:56:25] this will be a a decrease in the in force polarity to flip and become
[01:56:27] in force polarity to flip and become demand. Or wait for, I guess,
[01:56:30] demand. Or wait for, I guess, um
[01:56:31] um demand to decrease.
[01:56:33] demand to decrease. Yep. Wait for demand to flip and become
[01:56:37] Yep. Wait for demand to flip and become supply.
[01:56:40] You got it.
[01:56:41] You got it. I I understood what you meant.
[01:56:44] I I understood what you meant. It's just the exact opposite of this
[01:56:46] It's just the exact opposite of this statement.
[01:56:48] statement. S- Alpha areas
[01:56:51] S- Alpha areas Well, hold on.
[01:56:56] This is only from the perspective of
[01:56:58] This is only from the perspective of like, okay, like uh
[01:57:01] like, okay, like uh because alpha here
[01:57:07] Hold on.
[01:57:10] Cuz if a uptrend ends, then we're
[01:57:12] Cuz if a uptrend ends, then we're waiting for demand to flip to become
[01:57:14] waiting for demand to flip to become supply.
[01:57:17] So, yeah, it depends on
[01:57:19] So, yeah, it depends on It actually depends on direction. So,
[01:57:21] It actually depends on direction. So, let me reword this. My bad. Because
[01:57:24] let me reword this. My bad. Because because if we're waiting on
[01:57:27] because if we're waiting on So,
[01:57:29] So, here, like this is an omega area.
[01:57:32] here, like this is an omega area. We waited for demand to flip to become
[01:57:35] We waited for demand to flip to become supply. The way I have it written here
[01:57:39] supply. The way I have it written here is we're waiting for supply to flip to
[01:57:41] is we're waiting for supply to flip to become demand because it is directional.
[01:57:44] become demand because it is directional. So, let me reword this.
[01:57:47] So, let me reword this. Because this is This is the case if it's
[01:57:49] Because this is This is the case if it's um hold on.
[01:57:51] um hold on. Significance of this is to wait for
[01:57:52] Significance of this is to wait for demand to flip
[01:57:55] demand to flip to become supply. So, this is if we're
[01:57:59] to become supply. So, this is if we're in a uptrend.
[01:58:03] Alpha in a uptrend. And then it'll be
[01:58:05] Alpha in a uptrend. And then it'll be opposite if it was a downtrend.
[01:58:09] opposite if it was a downtrend. So, so to to to make this a little bit
[01:58:12] So, so to to to make this a little bit less wordy,
[01:58:13] less wordy, um I don't know if you care about this,
[01:58:16] um I don't know if you care about this, but let me see. Alpha areas.
[01:58:19] but let me see. Alpha areas. Let me be like
[01:58:21] Let me be like bullish.
[01:58:23] bullish. Sig- significance is to wait for
[01:58:26] Sig- significance is to wait for No, hold on. I'm I'm confusing myself.
[01:58:31] No, hold on. I'm I'm confusing myself. If if price is bullish,
[01:58:35] If if price is bullish, when it gets up to
[01:58:37] when it gets up to I will the previous
[01:58:39] I will the previous um
[01:58:41] um alpha
[01:58:46] Was the previous range was bullish?
[01:58:49] Was the previous range was bullish? And once it got up to the alpha area,
[01:58:54] Wait. what? I'm like so confused.
[01:58:59] Oh, never mind, bro. I know why I'm
[01:59:01] Oh, never mind, bro. I know why I'm confused.
[01:59:03] confused. Okay, see because yeah, no, it's it's
[01:59:06] Okay, see because yeah, no, it's it's how I it's how I think of it. All right.
[01:59:09] how I it's how I think of it. All right. Omega areas are the ones that get
[01:59:11] Omega areas are the ones that get flipped. Alpha areas so far, alpha areas
[01:59:14] flipped. Alpha areas so far, alpha areas are the ones that get respected. I
[01:59:16] are the ones that get respected. I forgot about that.
[01:59:17] forgot about that. Okay?
[01:59:18] Okay? I I I I taught on this lesson I taught
[01:59:20] I I I I taught on this lesson I taught on this yesterday. Alphas tend are
[01:59:23] on this yesterday. Alphas tend are supposed to be get they get respected.
[01:59:26] supposed to be get they get respected. If you go back and you
[01:59:27] If you go back and you if you remember and you think about it,
[01:59:29] if you remember and you think about it, the beginning of a trend
[01:59:32] the beginning of a trend ideally we want to see it be respected,
[01:59:34] ideally we want to see it be respected, not disrespected, not broken, not
[01:59:36] not disrespected, not broken, not flipped. We want omega areas flipped.
[01:59:40] flipped. We want omega areas flipped. So, the significance of this is to wait
[01:59:43] So, the significance of this is to wait for supply
[01:59:45] for supply um
[01:59:47] um /demand
[01:59:48] /demand to flip.
[01:59:51] To flip and
[01:59:55] To flip and lead to
[01:59:58] lead to a
[02:00:00] a BIR
[02:00:02] BIR /reversal,
[02:00:05] /reversal, okay?
[02:00:07] okay? Um alpha
[02:00:08] Um alpha is the first order block in a trend and
[02:00:11] is the first order block in a trend and the significance of this, my bad, yeah.
[02:00:13] the significance of this, my bad, yeah. We got it. The significance of this
[02:00:16] We got it. The significance of this is to identify
[02:00:21] um high
[02:00:24] um high potential
[02:00:27] areas
[02:00:29] areas in
[02:00:30] in prior trends
[02:00:35] that will cause
[02:00:41] current trends
[02:00:48] to end.
[02:00:55] They have a high likelihood
[02:00:59] of being respected
[02:01:02] of being respected and not broken.
[02:01:07] That's what that is.
[02:01:09] That's what that is. So, we're not looking for flips when it
[02:01:11] So, we're not looking for flips when it comes to alpha, we're looking for them
[02:01:13] comes to alpha, we're looking for them to be respected. So, um so just second
[02:01:16] to be respected. So, um so just second bullet point, um
[02:01:19] bullet point, um basically
[02:01:22] basically it we're it we're expecting supply
[02:01:25] it we're it we're expecting supply and demand
[02:01:27] and demand to be retested
[02:01:33] and respected.
[02:01:35] and respected. That's That's That's what we're looking
[02:01:36] That's That's That's what we're looking for
[02:01:38] for in alpha. Omega areas,
[02:01:40] in alpha. Omega areas, when a trend ends, then we we logically
[02:01:43] when a trend ends, then we we logically are going to wait for that to flip,
[02:01:46] are going to wait for that to flip, right? And um the second bullet the
[02:01:49] right? And um the second bullet the second bullet point here is just that
[02:01:52] second bullet point here is just that this takes away
[02:01:56] the need to analyze
[02:02:00] the need to analyze liquidity.
[02:02:04] And you know, it makes it a little
[02:02:06] And you know, it makes it a little easier, okay?
[02:02:08] easier, okay? Um
[02:02:13] and offers
[02:02:17] and offers entry uh and and offers
[02:02:19] entry uh and and offers uh
[02:02:23] aggressive
[02:02:30] entries
[02:02:32] entries with some level
[02:02:35] with some level of confirmation.
[02:02:38] of confirmation. That's That's That's That's That's the
[02:02:39] That's That's That's That's That's the significance of the omega area.
[02:02:42] significance of the omega area. I don't want I want confirmation that
[02:02:44] I don't want I want confirmation that price should go higher in some kind of
[02:02:46] price should go higher in some kind of way, shape, or form, but I don't want to
[02:02:48] way, shape, or form, but I don't want to wait all the way until market structure
[02:02:51] wait all the way until market structure shifts.
[02:02:52] shifts. And and have to increase my risk when
[02:02:53] And and have to increase my risk when especially I could have been in and out
[02:02:55] especially I could have been in and out already, okay?
[02:02:58] already, okay? And then sentiment is for examining
[02:03:00] And then sentiment is for examining areas that shift from bullish to bearish
[02:03:02] areas that shift from bullish to bearish and vice versa and maintaining the bias
[02:03:04] and vice versa and maintaining the bias of the most recent shift in sentiment.
[02:03:08] of the most recent shift in sentiment. And then order flow
[02:03:09] And then order flow bearish and bullish order blocks in the
[02:03:11] bearish and bullish order blocks in the same price range can be interpreted as a
[02:03:13] same price range can be interpreted as a direct threat.
[02:03:15] direct threat. And then um
[02:03:18] And then um the other bullet point is going to be
[02:03:23] just do this. Take that out.
[02:03:26] just do this. Take that out. And then the next bullet point is
[02:03:28] And then the next bullet point is understanding or understand
[02:03:33] understanding or understand that
[02:03:34] that if price is bullish
[02:03:38] No, it um
[02:03:40] No, it um it doesn't matter. Uh understand that
[02:03:43] it doesn't matter. Uh understand that the market moves
[02:03:49] / flows
[02:03:53] from
[02:03:57] buy to sell to buy to sell
[02:04:02] buy to sell to buy to sell to buy
[02:04:03] to buy etc.
[02:04:05] etc. until
[02:04:08] until all caps
[02:04:10] all caps we
[02:04:14] until price
[02:04:17] until price finds itself
[02:04:20] finds itself in an area
[02:04:26] in parentheses based on
[02:04:29] in parentheses based on larger scales
[02:04:33] of price action
[02:04:35] of price action which is just a
[02:04:37] which is just a wordy way to higher time frame, but
[02:04:39] wordy way to higher time frame, but larger scales of price action.
[02:04:42] larger scales of price action. That have enough
[02:04:45] That have enough buyers to overcome sellers.
[02:04:53] Or
[02:04:55] Or sellers to overcome
[02:04:58] sellers to overcome buyers.
[02:05:04] And then I'm just going to do a side
[02:05:05] And then I'm just going to do a side note
[02:05:06] note and say
[02:05:08] and say what am I looking for?
[02:05:10] what am I looking for? Here it is.
[02:05:12] Here it is. If that happens
[02:05:16] then you should look
[02:05:19] then you should look for omega
[02:05:22] for omega zones.
[02:05:24] zones. Or you should look for omega omega areas
[02:05:27] Or you should look for omega omega areas because that's the next thing to happen
[02:05:29] because that's the next thing to happen if that makes sense, okay?
[02:05:41] Because hopefully that makes sense. You
[02:05:43] Because hopefully that makes sense. You know, if price is selling and then we
[02:05:44] know, if price is selling and then we come into a major area
[02:05:47] come into a major area of buyers, then the the first thing
[02:05:49] of buyers, then the the first thing you're looking for is an omega
[02:05:53] you're looking for is an omega uh
[02:05:53] uh an omega or the end of a trend to get
[02:05:57] an omega or the end of a trend to get flipped. That That's where your eyes
[02:05:58] flipped. That That's where your eyes should go. That's the flow. That's step
[02:06:01] should go. That's the flow. That's step one. Then after that everything is about
[02:06:03] one. Then after that everything is about sentiment and market structure.
[02:06:06] sentiment and market structure. Internally, then it's about externally,
[02:06:10] Internally, then it's about externally, and then it just keeps going higher and
[02:06:13] and then it just keeps going higher and higher
[02:06:14] higher and higher until we talk about the
[02:06:18] and higher until we talk about the market as a whole. You know what I mean?
[02:06:21] market as a whole. You know what I mean? Okay. Yeah. So
[02:06:25] Yeah.
[02:06:25] Yeah. >> That's real good. Yep. That's That's
[02:06:27] >> That's real good. Yep. That's That's That's
[02:06:28] That's This is This is a good one on one. And
[02:06:30] This is This is a good one on one. And the reason why it's good is because God
[02:06:32] the reason why it's good is because God was involved I and I need to make sure I
[02:06:33] was involved I and I need to make sure I never forget that.
[02:06:36] You and me both. I appreciate that.
[02:06:45] So,
[02:06:46] So, little snippet right there.
[02:06:48] little snippet right there. I'll send it to you.
[02:06:50] I'll send it to you. Um I'm also going to paste it in my
[02:06:51] Um I'm also going to paste it in my notes here for the community.
[02:06:53] notes here for the community. And by by the way, I don't know if Are
[02:06:55] And by by the way, I don't know if Are you priority student? It was too
[02:06:57] you priority student? It was too expensive?
