e e e e I know, right? I know. Another live stream, another mentorship. Oh my goodness, how you doing, folks? I hope you're doing well. Give me a second here. I apologize for being slightly late. The OBS streaming service thing I used wasn't cooperating with me, so I couldn't find the settings to get my mic to show up. So I just make sure it's showing. Yes, like it looks like it's showing. Second, one more time, apologize. See my headphones? That's so I have it set to the lowest latency. So when I'm showing my 15-second chart, we won't go down to a 15-second chart, but we'll go to one. All right. So let me explain while I'm even doing this. As you know, I've been trying to get my kids to want to do this pretty much since they were born, trying to mold them, get them not thinking for the purposes of procuring an income from someone else's hand, relying on them to say what they can, when they can. I don't like to cultivate an employee mentality because I don't have so, uh, my son Caleb recently had an interest in making another attempt at doing this. I know a lot of you always ask, you know, how are my kids doing? Um, how are they doing in their, in their learning and whatnot? First of all, I make them work, and it's work hardening. It will make you. If you're forced to do it, if you get money from Daddy and you get a lifestyle given to you, it kind of makes makes you lazy and become very lackadaisical, and you just don't really have any pursuit in you. So that method I've used has hopefully done its work in the vein of, uh, making him want to leave the the rat race, knowing that I'm not just going to dole money out to him. His interest has again peaked and he wants to make a good, good attempt at it. So I get a lot of questions about, you know, if, if you're teaching your kids, you know, how do you teach your kids? You know, what is it that, uh, you do differently, if you do anything differently? And I, I honestly, I do. I do things slightly differently because, you know, they're my kids, okay? You're not entitled to anything from me. I'm not, I would do anything. I'm not expected to be your best friend or to be your, your guiding light. As much as I seem like I am in your videos, it's because I'm talking to my kids. And that's why you have this connection with you because you hear the sincerity in what it is I'm teaching because I care about them receiving it from you. So it's like an archive of me teaching, instructing, encouraging my own children. So when I'm talking with sincerity and empathy, it's genuine because I have them in my mind. Now, invariably, sometimes I get a student that's outside my family tree and they'll contact me and they'll say, "Hey, look, you know, I really appreciate that you could do this, this, that." And I would touch on those types of those types of things. And or one of my kids will say, "Dad, how do you, how do you deal with a situation like this? Or what if the market does that? Do you know when not to do something or when should you really push it aggressively?" Um, I'm going to talk a little bit about that, not so much today, but I want to give like a baseline on where you should be at when you first sit down to start learning how to do this. I'll push buttons in front of you. I'll talk about where the market should go. I'll talk about what PD array isn't so important to me at the time and why, and the ones that I think are important. So that way, it kind of like filters out. And because I plan on doing this Monday through Friday, it will be an exercise for you. Now, if you are already profitable, if you're already profitable, whether you're using my concepts or a derivative of them, or you're doing something entirely different, it's probably better that you don't watch the live stream. Just do what you normally do because I'm probably going to distract you, or I'll be a perfect excuse for you. If you take a losing trade, you'll say, "ICT called me to lose money," and you won't take responsibility, and you need to be responsible. Okay? Um, the things I'm going to touch on is obviously, you know, where your mind should be every day sitting down in front of the charts. You have to have some reason to be in the charts doing it. So that's the reason why I started the the stream at around 8:00. I know it was like seven minutes late, but you're not my employer, so I can punch in late if I want, and I can go home early if I want. So I want to talk a little bit about that. Ahead of 8:30, we have a heavy news driver, the ISM PMI number. At 10:00, I'll be with you until probably like quarter after 10:00, okay? But, uh, this mentorship, at least the first lecture here, is probably going to be a little annoying for some of you that just want to get out here and start pushing buttons. But I promise you, if you don't want to sit through this live, come back to it when you have time to do it before you watch tomorrow's live stream, okay? Because otherwise, you'll miss the whole importance of what it is that you should be doing before you sit down, whether you're watching my live stream, someone else's live stream, or you're doing your own model, you're in trade, okay? Because it's very, very important that you have a real reason of why you're doing it. Some of you are here just want to see me do something and it not pan out, just so we can go on social media and get some clicks and likes and some, you know, interactions because you need to get your grocery bill. And that's fine, but I'm not here to do those types of things. I'm not here to brag. I'm not here to post. And yes, I'm going to win the Robin's Cup. Stop sending me emails, okay? Just, I got plenty of time for that. Don't worry about it. It's in the bag, trust me on that. I told you all I would give you a drama, I would give you a tragedy, I'd give you a tearjerker, but at the end of the year, it's my name at the top of that list, okay? So just, just, just relax. Keep making your videos because you look stupid. Expose ICT. Filed Robin's Cup. This is going to make it even better. But anyway, our focus is going to be primarily on the NASDAQ today. But in this mentorship, I will go back to talking about Forex because I know a lot of you are stuck in that asset class, okay? Even though I'm not interested in pushing any orders through that market anymore, I will cover some of the things that are salient to that individual asset class when it is appropriate. But it's not appropriate right now because right now I want you to think about what it is you should be doing before you are trying to trade, before you're trying to trade with your funded accounts or trying to pass combines or whatnot. Um, full disclosure, I talked to Caleb and I asked him, you know, what his intentions were, what he wants to do, what he's willing to do. Uh, he wants to share and document his progress, so he'll be doing a YouTube channel. So when I teach, um, I'm talking, he's not with me right now, but he's listening and watching. You are. So the things I'm talking about in this is going to be my suggestion to you if you maybe you've watched some of my videos, maybe you watched a lot of my videos, and you just don't know what to do or where to begin or what to do right now, what do I do right now? Because it's very daunting seeing how many videos I have and all these different concepts and all these different things, these moving parts. It's, it's very intimidating, and I get it. But it's, it's meant to be a compendium, meaning it's like it's my entire encyclopedia of what I'm willing to give to the public so you can go and you can build your own model. So I'm going to show my son how he should do it correctly this time, where it's step by step. Dad's going to be explaining it live, so that way there's no hindsight stuff. Not that it was ever hindsight when I was teaching and he would watch me push the button right in front of him, he would see me explain, "I think it's going to go here. This is where it's going to go next. I don't want to see it do this. I don't want to do that." This is real mentorship, okay? It's, we're not going to be doing any market replay. We're going to talk about theory and say, "Now, let me push the market forward and watch what happens." When you had the benefit of already knowing what it's going to do, that is absolutely not, that's not mentorship. That is absolutely not teaching anybody anything, and it certainly doesn't inspire trust in the person that you're learning from because they have the added benefit of knowing what has already happened. So seeing live price action, watching data tick, without the benefit of knowing what it's going to do, is exactly what you as a trader are going to have to encounter every single time you sit in front of the charts. You don't know what's going to happen. And right now is a wonderful learning experience because the climate is so statically charged. Everything that's going on over the Middle East right now, they're going to have reverberations throughout the entire market globally, and probably in your neck of the woods where you live. So it increases the level of responsibility on your part as someone that wants to engage in these markets because they're very risky. And now add to it the increased level and amplitude of uncertainty where anything can happen. You know, a bomb drops or a series of bombs drop in an unexpected location, and then boom, everything starts changing rapidly. And that fear and that rush will be injected into the marketplace, and they will use, they being the people that are in charge of price action. It's not the buying and selling pressure that moves price. And you'll hear a lot about that as I go. And I know some of you don't like that. I know some of you don't believe in an algorithm. I know you believe that, you know, buyers and sellers push price, and that's fine. I'll leave you to that myth. You want to believe in fairy tales, that's your, that's your business. I'm not going to try to wake you up from your dream. Sleep tight. Price will do what it's going to do because it's coded to do it based on time, okay? And time is essential. It's the first hallmark to when and why a market should produce a displacement, a run, whether it be impulsive, whether it be retracement, whether it be anything, it's always going to be delivered on the basis of time. It's going to move at a specific time or a period of time within 20 minutes. That's a macro. And we're going to talk about those things because I want to simplify it for my son. You all are getting that benefit of seeing it, hearing it, and being explained to you as if it were you being Caleb. I'm not hiding anything. I just sent him a text before I started. I said, "Just stop texting me. I'm doing it live right now. Don't talk to me in the text because you're going to distract me." Okay? So there's no secret texting going on. There's no conversation behind the scenes. Everything you see and experience while I'm doing these live streams is exactly what he's digesting the same way. And the things that I'm going to encourage him to do, my suggestion is to try it for yourself, and you're going to see everything that I taught is absolutely not complicated. The complication comes from people that want to take my stuff, they want to water it down to a one, two, three, a pattern so they can go out to Amazon and write a book. There's dozens of books about them, and I'm quite certain all of them are wrong, but it's a cash grab because my name's big right now. It won't be forever, and somebody else will become something interesting and and and that'll be the new buzz thing. But right now, the problem with it, the community that has any interest in me is either they want to do the gacha about me because it gives them grocery money, or they want to learn from me and then say they don't learn from me, but they talk with my vernacular, they use all my terms, they trade just like me, but they say they don't. And they do mentorships. So if you're one of those individuals, I'm going to help you too, not because I want to, but because it's going to be a default. It's, it's going to be a default, uh, response to you being here because you're going to learn how to finally do it instead of attending, instead of talking about and teaching through market replay. Okay? Um, I asked my son what his interest was. He doesn't want me to give him money to trade with, which is good. That's cool. So I asked him what his intentions were, and he said, "Are you going to go through like a prop firm again?" And he said he was going to use Top Step. Now, for disclosure, uh, if anyone, if anyone from Top Step is listening, I don't know if they do or don't. I know I have students in my mentorship that are affiliated with them, um, directly, not just users of it. But they have no connection to me. They have no connection to my son Caleb. There is no affiliate links, okay? I have no connection with Top Step. I did not ask them to be a partner with me. They didn't ask me to be a partner with them. I'm not trying to push any of you to their company. I personally would not trade with with a company like any of them. I, I just, I, I personally wouldn't do it. I'm just stating full disclosure. While my son learns how to do this, when he feels equipped to do that, again, he will then use Top Step to do a, a funded account. So that way, everything could be seen through the lens of that instrument so you can see what he's doing, when he's making money, when he's not making money, if he does any withdrawals and gets payouts, you'll see all that stuff, okay? So it's kind of like a, a test tube baby experiment. He's completely, he says he is. We'll see what happens when we do a little further along, but he says he's comfortable with disclosing all of it and he wants to put it on his own YouTube channel. And why does he want to do that? Because I'm going to, I'm going to kill that real quick. I know a lot of you are posted up and your paintings are on a bunch, "Oh, if he's so good and he's your son, he shouldn't need to do all these things." Well, here's what he's doing. He's working a job, just like you are. You're working a job, but you're probably on other people's YouTube channels and you're trolling people, and you're on those social media trolling because you're miserable because you don't have any money. Dad's not giving him any money. He doesn't want Dad to give him money. He wants to do it on his own steam. I respect that. That's exactly what I want him to do. I want all my kids to do that. I gave money to Cody and it didn't help him, so I learned my lesson there. So I make my kids work. If he knows there is an interest and there's a huge interest in what my kids are learning from me directly, so if I'm willing to teach him that and he's willing to share that and I'm comfortable with that, because if he makes a YouTube channel while he's learning, yes, there will be ad revenue behind those videos that he puts up and shows his his progress. That's not important right now in the grand scheme of things because there isn't going to be a whole lot of viewership. I'm sure initially. There's going to be the morbid curiosity of seeing him fail when he does fail, and they will be celebrated amongst the social media networks, okay? That's great. That's, that's, that's good because that draws a crowd. But when he has his milestones where he grows and gets a little bit more understanding and he finds his successes, and you hear him explain what he struggles with, when you hear him explain what he felt victorious over, and what he made a big deal out of while he was first learning how to do it, and then he realizes it wasn't that big of a deal, it will personify the very things that I've already taught and mentioned in Twitter Spaces where I would marvel, counsel, encourage them. But you think I'm talking to you. I'm talking to them, and that's why you have this connection with you because you hear the sincerity in what it is I'm teaching because I care about them receiving it from you. So it's like an archive of me teaching, instructing, encouraging my own children. So when I'm talking with sincerity and empathy, it's genuine because I have them in my mind.

Um, the things I'm going to touch on is obviously, you know, where your mind should be every day sitting down in front of the charts. You have to have some reason to be in the charts doing it. So that's the reason why I started the the stream at around 8:00. I know it was like seven minutes late, but you're not my employer, so I can punch in late if I want, and I can go home early if I want. So I want to talk a little bit about that. Ahead of 8:30, we have a heavy news driver, the ISM PMI number. At 10:00, I'll be with you until probably like quarter after 10:00, okay? But, uh, this mentorship, at least the first lecture here, is probably going to be a little annoying for some of you that just want to get out here and start pushing buttons. But I promise you, if you don't want to sit through this live, come back to it when you have time to do it before you watch tomorrow's live stream, okay? Because otherwise, you'll miss the whole importance of what it is that you should be doing before you sit down, whether you're watching my live stream, someone else's live stream, or you're doing your own model, you're in trade, okay? Because it's very, very important that you have a real reason of why you're doing it. Some of you are here just want to see me do something and it not pan out, just so we can go on social media and get some clicks and likes and some, you know, interactions because you need to get your grocery bill. And that's fine, but I'm not here to do those types of things. I'm not here to brag. I'm not here to post. And yes, I'm going to win the Robin's Cup. Stop sending me emails, okay? Just, I got plenty of time for that. Don't worry about it. It's in the bag, trust me on that. I told you all I would give you a drama, I would give you a tragedy, I'd give you a tearjerker, but at the end of the year, it's my name at the top of that list, okay? So just, just, just relax. Keep making your videos because you look stupid. Expose ICT. Filed Robin's Cup. This is going to make it even better. But anyway, our focus is going to be primarily on the NASDAQ today. But in this mentorship, I will go back to talking about Forex because I know a lot of you are stuck in that asset class, okay? Even though I'm not interested in pushing any orders through that market anymore, I will cover some of the things that are salient to that individual asset class when it is appropriate. But it's not appropriate right now because right now I want you to think about what it is you should be doing before you are trying to trade, before you're trying to trade with your funded accounts or trying to pass combines or whatnot. Um, full disclosure, I talked to Caleb and I asked him, you know, what his intentions were, what he wants to do, what he's willing to do. Uh, he wants to share and document his progress, so he'll be doing a YouTube channel. So when I teach, um, I'm talking, he's not with me right now, but he's listening and watching. You are. So the things I'm talking about in this is going to be my suggestion to you if you maybe you've watched some of my videos, maybe you watched a lot of my videos, and you just don't know what to do or where to begin or what to do right now, what do I do right now? Because it's very daunting seeing how many videos I have and all these different concepts and all these different things, these moving parts. It's, it's very intimidating, and I get it. But it's, it's meant to be a compendium, meaning it's like it's my entire encyclopedia of what I'm willing to give to the public so you can go and you can build your own model. So I'm going to show my son how he should do it correctly this time, where it's step by step. Dad's going to be explaining it live, so that way there's no hindsight stuff. Not that it was ever hindsight when I was teaching and he would watch me push the button right in front of him, he would see me explain, "I think it's going to go here. This is where it's going to go next. I don't want to see it do this. I don't want to do that." This is real mentorship, okay? It's, we're not going to be doing any market replay. We're going to talk about theory and say, "Now, let me push the market forward and watch what happens." When you had the benefit of already knowing what it's going to do, that is absolutely not, that's not mentorship. That is absolutely not teaching anybody anything, and it certainly doesn't inspire trust in the person that you're learning from because they have the added benefit of knowing what has already happened. So seeing live price action, watching data tick, without the benefit of knowing what it's going to do, is exactly what you as a trader are going to have to encounter every single time you sit in front of the charts. You don't know what's going to happen. And right now is a wonderful learning experience because the climate is so statically charged. Everything that's going on over the Middle East right now, they're going to have reverberations throughout the entire market globally, and probably in your neck of the woods where you live. So it increases the level of responsibility on your part as someone that wants to engage in these markets because they're very risky. And now add to it the increased level and amplitude of uncertainty where anything can happen. You know, a bomb drops or a series of bombs drop in an unexpected location, and then boom, everything starts changing rapidly. And that fear and that rush will be injected into the marketplace, and they will use, they being the people that are in charge of price action. It's not the buying and selling pressure that moves price. And you'll hear a lot about that as I go. And I know some of you don't like that. I know some of you don't believe in an algorithm. I know you believe that, you know, buyers and sellers push price, and that's fine. I'll leave you to that myth. You want to believe in fairy tales, that's your, that's your business. I'm not going to try to wake you up from your dream. Sleep tight. Price will do what it's going to do because it's coded to do it based on time, okay? And time is essential. It's the first hallmark to when and why a market should produce a displacement, a run, whether it be impulsive, whether it be retracement, whether it be anything, it's always going to be delivered on the basis of time. It's going to move at a specific time or a period of time within 20 minutes. That's a macro. And we're going to talk about those things because I want to simplify it for my son. You all are getting that benefit of seeing it, hearing it, and being explained to you as if it were you being Caleb. I'm not hiding anything. I just sent him a text before I started. I said, "Just stop texting me. I'm doing it live right now. Don't talk to me in the text because you're going to distract me." Okay? So there's no secret texting going on. There's no conversation behind the scenes. Everything you see and experience while I'm doing these live streams is exactly what he's digesting the same way. And the things that I'm going to encourage him to do, my suggestion is to try it for yourself, and you're going to see everything that I taught is absolutely not complicated. The complication comes from people that want to take my stuff, they want to water it down to a one, two, three, a pattern so they can go out to Amazon and write a book. There's dozens of books about them, and I'm quite certain all of them are wrong, but it's a cash grab because my name's big right now. It won't be forever, and somebody else will become something interesting and and and that'll be the new buzz thing. But right now, the problem with it, the community that has any interest in me is either they want to do the gacha about me because it gives them grocery money, or they want to learn from me and then say they don't learn from me, but they talk with my vernacular, they use all my terms, they trade just like me, but they say they don't. And they do mentorships. So if you're one of those individuals, I'm going to help you too, not because I want to, but because it's going to be a default. It's, it's going to be a default, uh, response to you being here because you're going to learn how to finally do it instead of attending, instead of talking about and teaching through market replay. Okay? Um, I asked my son what his interest was. He doesn't want me to give him money to trade with, which is good. That's cool. So I asked him what his intentions were, and he said, "Are you going to go through like a prop firm again?" And he said he was going to use Top Step. Now, for disclosure, uh, if anyone, if anyone from Top Step is listening, I don't know if they do or don't. I know I have students in my mentorship that are affiliated with them, um, directly, not just users of it. But they have no connection to me. They have no connection to my son Caleb. There is no affiliate links, okay? I have no connection with Top Step. I did not ask them to be a partner with me. They didn't ask me to be a partner with them. I'm not trying to push any of you to their company. I personally would not trade with with a company like any of them. I, I just, I, I personally wouldn't do it. I'm just stating full disclosure. While my son learns how to do this, when he feels equipped to do that, again, he will then use Top Step to do a, a funded account. So that way, everything could be seen through the lens of that instrument so you can see what he's doing, when he's making money, when he's not making money, if he does any withdrawals and gets payouts, you'll see all that stuff, okay? So it's kind of like a, a test tube baby experiment. He's completely, he says he is. We'll see what happens when we do a little further along, but he says he's comfortable with disclosing all of it and he wants to put it on his own YouTube channel. And why does he want to do that? Because I'm going to, I'm going to kill that real quick. I know a lot of you are posted up and your paintings are on a bunch, "Oh, if he's so good and he's your son, he shouldn't need to do all these things." Well, here's what he's doing. He's working a job, just like you are. You're working a job, but you're probably on other people's YouTube channels and you're trolling people, and you're on those social media trolling because you're miserable because you don't have any money. Dad's not giving him any money. He doesn't want Dad to give him money. He wants to do it on his own steam. I respect that. That's exactly what I want him to do. I want all my kids to do that. I gave money to Cody and it didn't help him, so I learned my lesson there. So I make my kids work. If he knows there is an interest and there's a huge interest in what my kids are learning from me directly, so if I'm willing to teach him that and he's willing to share that and I'm comfortable with that, because if he makes a YouTube channel while he's learning, yes, there will be ad revenue behind those videos that he puts up and shows his his progress. That's not important right now in the grand scheme of things because there isn't going to be a whole lot of viewership. I'm sure initially. There's going to be the morbid curiosity of seeing him fail when he does fail, and they will be celebrated amongst the social media networks, okay? That's great. That's, that's, that's good because that draws a crowd. But when he has his milestones where he grows and gets a little bit more understanding and he finds his successes, and you hear him explain what he struggles with, when you hear him explain what he felt victorious over, and what he made a big deal out of while he was first learning how to do it, and then he realizes it wasn't that big of a deal, it will personify the very things that I've already taught and mentioned in Twitter Spaces where I would marvel, counsel, encourage them. But you think I'm talking to you. I'm talking to them, and that's why you have this connection with you because you hear the sincerity in what it is I'm teaching because I care about them receiving it from you. So it's like an archive of me teaching, instructing, encouraging my own children. So when I'm talking with sincerity and empathy, it's genuine because I have them in my mind. Now, invariably, sometimes I get a student that's outside my family tree and they'll contact me and they'll say, "Hey, look, you know, I really appreciate that you could do this, this, that." And I would touch on those types of those types of things. And or one of my kids will say, "Dad, how do you, how do you deal with a situation like this? Or what if the market does that? Do you know when not to do something or when should you really push it aggressively?" Um, I'm going to talk a little bit about that, not so much today, but I want to give like a baseline on where you should be at when you first sit down to start learning how to do this. I'll push buttons in front of you. I'll talk about where the market should go. I'll talk about what PD array isn't so important to me at the time and why, and the ones that I think are important. So that way, it kind of like filters out. And because I plan on doing this Monday through Friday, it will be an exercise for you. Now, if you are already profitable, if you're already profitable, whether you're using my concepts or a derivative of them, or you're doing something entirely different, it's probably better that you don't watch the live stream. Just do what you normally do because I'm probably going to distract you, or I'll be a perfect excuse for you. If you take a losing trade, you'll say, "ICT called me to lose money," and you won't take responsibility, and you need to be responsible. Okay?

Not that it was ever hindsight when I was teaching and he would watch me push the button right in front of him, he would see me explain, "I think it's going to go here. This is where it's going to go next. I don't want to see it do this. I don't want to do that." This is real mentorship, okay? It's, we're not going to be doing any market replay. We're going to talk about theory and say, "Now, let me push the market forward and watch what happens." When you had the benefit of already knowing what it's going to do, that is absolutely not, that's not mentorship. That is absolutely not teaching anybody anything, and it certainly doesn't inspire trust in the person that you're learning from because they have the added benefit of knowing what has already happened. So seeing live price action, watching data tick, without the benefit of knowing what it's going to do, is exactly what you as a trader are going to have to encounter every single time you sit in front of the charts. You don't know what's going to happen. And right now is a wonderful learning experience because the climate is so statically charged. Everything that's going on over the Middle East right now, they're going to have reverberations throughout the entire market globally, and probably in your neck of the woods where you live. So it increases the level of responsibility on your part as someone that wants to engage in these markets because they're very risky. And now add to it the increased level and amplitude of uncertainty where anything can happen. You know, a bomb drops or a series of bombs drop in an unexpected location, and then boom, everything starts changing rapidly. And that fear and that rush will be injected into the marketplace, and they will use, they being the people that are in charge of price action. It's not the buying and selling pressure that moves price. And you'll hear a lot about that as I go. And I know some of you don't like that. I know some of you don't believe in an algorithm. I know you believe that, you know, buyers and sellers push price, and that's fine. I'll leave you to that myth. You want to believe in fairy tales, that's your, that's your business. I'm not going to try to wake you up from your dream. Sleep tight. Price will do what it's going to do because it's coded to do it based on time, okay? And time is essential. It's the first hallmark to when and why a market should produce a displacement, a run, whether it be impulsive, whether it be retracement, whether it be anything, it's always going to be delivered on the basis of time. It's going to move at a specific time or a period of time within 20 minutes. That's a macro. And we're going to talk about those things because I want to simplify it for my son. You all are getting that benefit of seeing it, hearing it, and being explained to you as if it were you being Caleb. I'm not hiding anything. I just sent him a text before I started. I said, "Just stop texting me. I'm doing it live right now. Don't talk to me in the text because you're going to distract me." Okay? So there's no secret texting going on. There's no conversation behind the scenes. Everything you see and experience while I'm doing these live streams is exactly what he's digesting the same way. And the things that I'm going to encourage him to do, my suggestion is to try it for yourself, and you're going to see everything that I taught is absolutely not complicated. The complication comes from people that want to take my stuff, they want to water it down to a one, two, three, a pattern so they can go out to Amazon and write a book. There's dozens of books about them, and I'm quite certain all of them are wrong, but it's a cash grab because my name's big right now. It won't be forever, and somebody else will become something interesting and and and that'll be the new buzz thing. But right now, the problem with it, the community that has any interest in me is either they want to do the gacha about me because it gives them grocery money, or they want to learn from me and then say they don't learn from me, but they talk with my vernacular, they use all my terms, they trade just like me, but they say they don't. And they do mentorships. So if you're one of those individuals, I'm going to help you too, not because I want to, but because it's going to be a default. It's, it's going to be a default, uh, response to you being here because you're going to learn how to finally do it instead of attending, instead of talking about and teaching through market replay. Okay? Um, I asked my son what his interest was. He doesn't want me to give him money to trade with, which is good. That's cool. So I asked him what his intentions were, and he said, "Are you going to go through like a prop firm again?" And he said he was going to use Top Step. Now, for disclosure, uh, if anyone, if anyone from Top Step is listening, I don't know if they do or don't. I know I have students in my mentorship that are affiliated with them, um, directly, not just users of it. But they have no connection to me. They have no connection to my son Caleb. There is no affiliate links, okay? I have no connection with Top Step. I did not ask them to be a partner with me. They didn't ask me to be a partner with them. I'm not trying to push any of you to their company. I personally would not trade with with a company like any of them. I, I just, I, I personally wouldn't do it. I'm just stating full disclosure. While my son learns how to do this, when he feels equipped to do that, again, he will then use Top Step to do a, a funded account. So that way, everything could be seen through the lens of that instrument so you can see what he's doing, when he's making money, when he's not making money, if he does any withdrawals and gets payouts, you'll see all that stuff, okay? So it's kind of like a, a test tube baby experiment. He's completely, he says he is. We'll see what happens when we do a little further along, but he says he's comfortable with disclosing all of it and he wants to put it on his own YouTube channel. And why does he want to do that? Because I'm going to, I'm going to kill that real quick. I know a lot of you are posted up and your paintings are on a bunch, "Oh, if he's so good and he's your son, he shouldn't need to do all these things." Well, here's what he's doing. He's working a job, just like you are. You're working a job, but you're probably on other people's YouTube channels and you're trolling people, and you're on those social media trolling because you're miserable because you don't have any money. Dad's not giving him any money. He doesn't want Dad to give him money. He wants to do it on his own steam. I respect that. That's exactly what I want him to do. I want all my kids to do that. I gave money to Cody and it didn't help him, so I learned my lesson there. So I make my kids work. If he knows there is an interest and there's a huge interest in what my kids are learning from me directly, so if I'm willing to teach him that and he's willing to share that and I'm comfortable with that, because if he makes a YouTube channel while he's learning, yes, there will be ad revenue behind those videos that he puts up and shows his his progress. That's not important right now in the grand scheme of things because there isn't going to be a whole lot of viewership. I'm sure initially. There's going to be the morbid curiosity of seeing him fail when he does fail, and they will be celebrated amongst the social media networks, okay? That's great. That's, that's, that's good because that draws a crowd. But when he has his milestones where he grows and gets a little bit more understanding and he finds his successes, and you hear him explain what he struggles with, when you hear him explain what he felt victorious over, and what he made a big deal out of while he was first learning how to do it, and then he realizes it wasn't that big of a deal, it will personify the very things that I've already taught and mentioned in Twitter Spaces where I would marvel, counsel, encourage them. But you think I'm talking to you. I'm talking to them, and that's why you have this connection with you because you hear the sincerity in what it is I'm teaching because I care about them receiving it from you. So it's like an archive of me teaching, instructing, encouraging my own children. So when I'm talking with sincerity and empathy, it's genuine because I have them in my mind. Now, invariably, sometimes I get a student that's outside my family tree and they'll contact me and they'll say, "Hey, look, you know, I really appreciate that you could do this, this, that." And I would touch on those types of those types of things. And or one of my kids will say, "Dad, how do you, how do you deal with a situation like this? Or what if the market does that? Do you know when not to do something or when should you really push it aggressively?" Um, I'm going to talk a little bit about that, not so much today, but I want to give like a baseline on where you should be at when you first sit down to start learning how to do this. I'll push buttons in front of you. I'll talk about where the market should go. I'll talk about what PD array isn't so important to me at the time and why, and the ones that I think are important. So that way, it kind of like filters out. And because I plan on doing this Monday through Friday, it will be an exercise for you. Now, if you are already profitable, if you're already profitable, whether you're using my concepts or a derivative of them, or you're doing something entirely different, it's probably better that you don't watch the live stream. Just do what you normally do because I'm probably going to distract you, or I'll be a perfect excuse for you. If you take a losing trade, you'll say, "ICT called me to lose money," and you won't take responsibility, and you need to be responsible. Okay? Um, the things I'm going to touch on is obviously, you know, where your mind should be every day sitting down in front of the charts. You have to have some reason to be in the charts doing it. So that's the reason why I started the the stream at around 8:00. I know it was like seven minutes late, but you're not my employer, so I can punch in late if I want, and I can go home early if I want. So I want to talk a little bit about that. Ahead of 8:30, we have a heavy news driver, the ISM PMI number. At 10:00, I'll be with you until probably like quarter after 10:00, okay? But, uh, this mentorship, at least the first lecture here, is probably going to be a little annoying for some of you that just want to get out here and start pushing buttons. But I promise you, if you don't want to sit through this live, come back to it when you have time to do it before you watch tomorrow's live stream, okay? Because otherwise, you'll miss the whole importance of what it is that you should be doing before you sit down, whether you're watching my live stream, someone else's live stream, or you're doing your own model, you're in trade, okay? Because it's very, very important that you have a real reason of why you're doing it. Some of you are here just want to see me do something and it not pan out, just so we can go on social media and get some clicks and likes and some, you know, interactions because you need to get your grocery bill. And that's fine, but I'm not here to do those types of things. I'm not here to brag. I'm not here to post. And yes, I'm going to win the Robin's Cup. Stop sending me emails, okay? Just, I got plenty of time for that. Don't worry about it. It's in the bag, trust me on that. I told you all I would give you a drama, I would give you a tragedy, I'd give you a tearjerker, but at the end of the year, it's my name at the top of that list, okay? So just, just, just relax. Keep making your videos because you look stupid. Expose ICT. Filed Robin's Cup. This is going to make it even better. But anyway, our focus is going to be primarily on the NASDAQ today. But in this mentorship, I will go back to talking about Forex because I know a lot of you are stuck in that asset class, okay? Even though I'm not interested in pushing any orders through that market anymore, I will cover some of the things that are salient to that individual asset class when it is appropriate. But it's not appropriate right now because right now I want you to think about what it is you should be doing before you are trying to trade, before you're trying to trade with your funded accounts or trying to pass combines or whatnot. Um, full disclosure, I talked to Caleb and I asked him, you know, what his intentions were, what he wants to do, what he's willing to do. Uh, he wants to share and document his progress, so he'll be doing a YouTube channel. So when I teach, um, I'm talking, he's not with me right now, but he's listening and watching. You are. So the things I'm talking about in this is going to be my suggestion to you if you maybe you've watched some of my videos, maybe you watched a lot of my videos, and you just don't know what to do or where to begin or what to do right now, what do I do right now? Because it's very daunting seeing how many videos I have and all these different concepts and all these different things, these moving parts. It's, it's very intimidating, and I get it. But it's, it's meant to be a compendium, meaning it's like it's my entire encyclopedia of what I'm willing to give to the public so you can go and you can build your own model. So I'm going to show my son how he should do it correctly this time, where it's step by step. Dad's going to be explaining it live, so that way there's no hindsight stuff.

But right now, the problem with it, the community that has any interest in me is either they want to do the gacha about me because it gives them grocery money, or they want to learn from me and then say they don't learn from me, but they talk with my vernacular, they use all my terms, they trade just like me, but they say they don't. And they do mentorships. So if you're one of those individuals, I'm going to help you too, not because I want to, but because it's going to be a default. It's, it's going to be a default, uh, response to you being here because you're going to learn how to finally do it instead of attending, instead of talking about and teaching through market replay. Okay? Um, I asked my son what his interest was. He doesn't want me to give him money to trade with, which is good. That's cool. So I asked him what his intentions were, and he said, "Are you going to go through like a prop firm again?" And he said he was going to use Top Step. Now, for disclosure, uh, if anyone, if anyone from Top Step is listening, I don't know if they do or don't. I know I have students in my mentorship that are affiliated with them, um, directly, not just users of it. But they have no connection to me. They have no connection to my son Caleb. There is no affiliate links, okay? I have no connection with Top Step. I did not ask them to be a partner with me. They didn't ask me to be a partner with them. I'm not trying to push any of you to their company. I personally would not trade with with a company like any of them. I, I just, I, I personally wouldn't do it. I'm just stating full disclosure. While my son learns how to do this, when he feels equipped to do that, again, he will then use Top Step to do a, a funded account. So that way, everything could be seen through the lens of that instrument so you can see what he's doing, when he's making money, when he's not making money, if he does any withdrawals and gets payouts, you'll see all that stuff, okay? So it's kind of like a, a test tube baby experiment. He's completely, he says he is. We'll see what happens when we do a little further along, but he says he's comfortable with disclosing all of it and he wants to put it on his own YouTube channel. And why does he want to do that? Because I'm going to, I'm going to kill that real quick. I know a lot of you are posted up and your paintings are on a bunch, "Oh, if he's so good and he's your son, he shouldn't need to do all these things." Well, here's what he's doing. He's working a job, just like you are. You're working a job, but you're probably on other people's YouTube channels and you're trolling people, and you're on those social media trolling because you're miserable because you don't have any money. Dad's not giving him any money. He doesn't want Dad to give him money. He wants to do it on his own steam. I respect that. That's exactly what I want him to do. I want all my kids to do that. I gave money to Cody and it didn't help him, so I learned my lesson there. So I make my kids work. If he knows there is an interest and there's a huge interest in what my kids are learning from me directly, so if I'm willing to teach him that and he's willing to share that and I'm comfortable with that, because if he makes a YouTube channel while he's learning, yes, there will be ad revenue behind those videos that he puts up and shows his his progress. That's not important right now in the grand scheme of things because there isn't going to be a whole lot of viewership. I'm sure initially. There's going to be the morbid curiosity of seeing him fail when he does fail, and they will be celebrated amongst the social media networks, okay? That's great. That's, that's, that's good because that draws a crowd. But when he has his milestones where he grows and gets a little bit more understanding and he finds his successes, and you hear him explain what he struggles with, when you hear him explain what he felt victorious over, and what he made a big deal out of while he was first learning how to do it, and then he realizes it wasn't that big of a deal, it will personify the very things that I've already taught and mentioned in Twitter Spaces where I would marvel, counsel, encourage them. But you think I'm talking to you. I'm talking to them, and that's why you have this connection with you because you hear the sincerity in what it is I'm teaching because I care about them receiving it from you. So it's like an archive of me teaching, instructing, encouraging my own children. So when I'm talking with sincerity and empathy, it's genuine because I have them in my mind. Now, invariably, sometimes I get a student that's outside my family tree and they'll contact me and they'll say, "Hey, look, you know, I really appreciate that you could do this, this, that." And I would touch on those types of those types of things. And or one of my kids will say, "Dad, how do you, how do you deal with a situation like this? Or what if the market does that? Do you know when not to do something or when should you really push it aggressively?" Um, I'm going to talk a little bit about that, not so much today, but I want to give like a baseline on where you should be at when you first sit down to start learning how to do this. I'll push buttons in front of you. I'll talk about where the market should go. I'll talk about what PD array isn't so important to me at the time and why, and the ones that I think are important. So that way, it kind of like filters out. And because I plan on doing this Monday through Friday, it will be an exercise for you. Now, if you are already profitable, if you're already profitable, whether you're using my concepts or a derivative of them, or you're doing something entirely different, it's probably better that you don't watch the live stream. Just do what you normally do because I'm probably going to distract you, or I'll be a perfect excuse for you. If you take a losing trade, you'll say, "ICT called me to lose money," and you won't take responsibility, and you need to be responsible. Okay? Um, the things I'm going to touch on is obviously, you know, where your mind should be every day sitting down in front of the charts. You have to have some reason to be in the charts doing it. So that's the reason why I started the the stream at around 8:00. I know it was like seven minutes late, but you're not my employer, so I can punch in late if I want, and I can go home early if I want. So I want to talk a little bit about that. Ahead of 8:30, we have a heavy news driver, the ISM PMI number. At 10:00, I'll be with you until probably like quarter after 10:00, okay? But, uh, this mentorship, at least the first lecture here, is probably going to be a little annoying for some of you that just want to get out here and start pushing buttons. But I promise you, if you don't want to sit through this live, come back to it when you have time to do it before you watch tomorrow's live stream, okay? Because otherwise, you'll miss the whole importance of what it is that you should be doing before you sit down, whether you're watching my live stream, someone else's live stream, or you're doing your own model, you're in trade, okay? Because it's very, very important that you have a real reason of why you're doing it. Some of you are here just want to see me do something and it not pan out, just so we can go on social media and get some clicks and likes and some, you know, interactions because you need to get your grocery bill. And that's fine, but I'm not here to do those types of things. I'm not here to brag. I'm not here to post. And yes, I'm going to win the Robin's Cup. Stop sending me emails, okay? Just, I got plenty of time for that. Don't worry about it. It's in the bag, trust me on that. I told you all I would give you a drama, I would give you a tragedy, I'd give you a tearjerker, but at the end of the year, it's my name at the top of that list, okay? So just, just, just relax. Keep making your videos because you look stupid. Expose ICT. Filed Robin's Cup. This is going to make it even better. But anyway, our focus is going to be primarily on the NASDAQ today. But in this mentorship, I will go back to talking about Forex because I know a lot of you are stuck in that asset class, okay? Even though I'm not interested in pushing any orders through that market anymore, I will cover some of the things that are salient to that individual asset class when it is appropriate. But it's not appropriate right now because right now I want you to think about what it is you should be doing before you are trying to trade, before you're trying to trade with your funded accounts or trying to pass combines or whatnot. Um, full disclosure, I talked to Caleb and I asked him, you know, what his intentions were, what he wants to do, what he's willing to do. Uh, he wants to share and document his progress, so he'll be doing a YouTube channel. So when I teach, um, I'm talking, he's not with me right now, but he's listening and watching. You are. So the things I'm talking about in this is going to be my suggestion to you if you maybe you've watched some of my videos, maybe you watched a lot of my videos, and you just don't know what to do or where to begin or what to do right now, what do I do right now? Because it's very daunting seeing how many videos I have and all these different concepts and all these different things, these moving parts. It's, it's very intimidating, and I get it. But it's, it's meant to be a compendium, meaning it's like it's my entire encyclopedia of what I'm willing to give to the public so you can go and you can build your own model. So I'm going to show my son how he should do it correctly this time, where it's step by step. Dad's going to be explaining it live, so that way there's no hindsight stuff. Not that it was ever hindsight when I was teaching and he would watch me push the button right in front of him, he would see me explain, "I think it's going to go here. This is where it's going to go next. I don't want to see it do this. I don't want to do that." This is real mentorship, okay? It's, we're not going to be doing any market replay. We're going to talk about theory and say, "Now, let me push the market forward and watch what happens." When you had the benefit of already knowing what it's going to do, that is absolutely not, that's not mentorship. That is absolutely not teaching anybody anything, and it certainly doesn't inspire trust in the person that you're learning from because they have the added benefit of knowing what has already happened. So seeing live price action, watching data tick, without the benefit of knowing what it's going to do, is exactly what you as a trader are going to have to encounter every single time you sit in front of the charts. You don't know what's going to happen. And right now is a wonderful learning experience because the climate is so statically charged. Everything that's going on over the Middle East right now, they're going to have reverberations throughout the entire market globally, and probably in your neck of the woods where you live. So it increases the level of responsibility on your part as someone that wants to engage in these markets because they're very risky. And now add to it the increased level and amplitude of uncertainty where anything can happen. You know, a bomb drops or a series of bombs drop in an unexpected location, and then boom, everything starts changing rapidly. And that fear and that rush will be injected into the marketplace, and they will use, they being the people that are in charge of price action. It's not the buying and selling pressure that moves price. And you'll hear a lot about that as I go. And I know some of you don't like that. I know some of you don't believe in an algorithm. I know you believe that, you know, buyers and sellers push price, and that's fine. I'll leave you to that myth. You want to believe in fairy tales, that's your, that's your business. I'm not going to try to wake you up from your dream. Sleep tight. Price will do what it's going to do because it's coded to do it based on time, okay? And time is essential. It's the first hallmark to when and why a market should produce a displacement, a run, whether it be impulsive, whether it be retracement, whether it be anything, it's always going to be delivered on the basis of time. It's going to move at a specific time or a period of time within 20 minutes. That's a macro. And we're going to talk about those things because I want to simplify it for my son. You all are getting that benefit of seeing it, hearing it, and being explained to you as if it were you being Caleb. I'm not hiding anything. I just sent him a text before I started. I said, "Just stop texting me. I'm doing it live right now. Don't talk to me in the text because you're going to distract me." Okay? So there's no secret texting going on. There's no conversation behind the scenes. Everything you see and experience while I'm doing these live streams is exactly what he's digesting the same way. And the things that I'm going to encourage him to do, my suggestion is to try it for yourself, and you're going to see everything that I taught is absolutely not complicated. The complication comes from people that want to take my stuff, they want to water it down to a one, two, three, a pattern so they can go out to Amazon and write a book. There's dozens of books about them, and I'm quite certain all of them are wrong, but it's a cash grab because my name's big right now. It won't be forever, and somebody else will become something interesting and and and that'll be the new buzz thing. But right now, the problem with it, the community that has any interest in me is either they want to do the gacha about me because it gives them grocery money, or they want to learn from me and then say they don't learn from me, but they talk with my vernacular, they use all my terms, they trade just like me, but they say they don't.

But when he has his milestones where he grows and gets a little bit more understanding and he finds his successes, and you hear him explain what he struggles with, when you hear him explain what he felt victorious over, and what he made a big deal out of while he was first learning how to do it, and then he realizes it wasn't that big of a deal, it will personify the very things that I've already taught and mentioned in Twitter Spaces where I would marvel, counsel, encourage them. But you think I'm talking to you. I'm talking to them, and that's why you have this connection with you because you hear the sincerity in what it is I'm teaching because I care about them receiving it from you. So it's like an archive of me teaching, instructing, encouraging my own children. So when I'm talking with sincerity and empathy, it's genuine because I have them in my mind. Now, invariably, sometimes I get a student that's outside my family tree and they'll contact me and they'll say, "Hey, look, you know, I really appreciate that you could do this, this, that." And I would touch on those types of those types of things. And or one of my kids will say, "Dad, how do you, how do you deal with a situation like this? Or what if the market does that? Do you know when not to do something or when should you really push it aggressively?" Um, I'm going to talk a little bit about that, not so much today, but I want to give like a baseline on where you should be at when you first sit down to start learning how to do this. I'll push buttons in front of you. I'll talk about where the market should go. I'll talk about what PD array isn't so important to me at the time and why, and the ones that I think are important. So that way, it kind of like filters out. And because I plan on doing this Monday through Friday, it will be an exercise for you. Now, if you are already profitable, if you're already profitable, whether you're using my concepts or a derivative of them, or you're doing something entirely different, it's probably better that you don't watch the live stream. Just do what you normally do because I'm probably going to distract you, or I'll be a perfect excuse for you. If you take a losing trade, you'll say, "ICT called me to lose money," and you won't take responsibility, and you need to be responsible. Okay? Um, the things I'm going to touch on is obviously, you know, where your mind should be every day sitting down in front of the charts. You have to have some reason to be in the charts doing it. So that's the reason why I started the the stream at around 8:00. I know it was like seven minutes late, but you're not my employer, so I can punch in late if I want, and I can go home early if I want. So I want to talk a little bit about that. Ahead of 8:30, we have a heavy news driver, the ISM PMI number. At 10:00, I'll be with you until probably like quarter after 10:00, okay? But, uh, this mentorship, at least the first lecture here, is probably going to be a little annoying for some of you that just want to get out here and start pushing buttons. But I promise you, if you don't want to sit through this live, come back to it when you have time to do it before you watch tomorrow's live stream, okay? Because otherwise, you'll miss the whole importance of what it is that you should be doing before you sit down, whether you're watching my live stream, someone else's live stream, or you're doing your own model, you're in trade, okay? Because it's very, very important that you have a real reason of why you're doing it. Some of you are here just want to see me do something and it not pan out, just so we can go on social media and get some clicks and likes and some, you know, interactions because you need to get your grocery bill. And that's fine, but I'm not here to do those types of things. I'm not here to brag. I'm not here to post. And yes, I'm going to win the Robin's Cup. Stop sending me emails, okay? Just, I got plenty of time for that. Don't worry about it. It's in the bag, trust me on that. I told you all I would give you a drama, I would give you a tragedy, I'd give you a tearjerker, but at the end of the year, it's my name at the top of that list, okay? So just, just, just relax. Keep making your videos because you look stupid. Expose ICT. Filed Robin's Cup. This is going to make it even better. But anyway, our focus is going to be primarily on the NASDAQ today. But in this mentorship, I will go back to talking about Forex because I know a lot of you are stuck in that asset class, okay? Even though I'm not interested in pushing any orders through that market anymore, I will cover some of the things that are salient to that individual asset class when it is appropriate. But it's not appropriate right now because right now I want you to think about what it is you should be doing before you are trying to trade, before you're trying to trade with your funded accounts or trying to pass combines or whatnot. Um, full disclosure, I talked to Caleb and I asked him, you know, what his intentions were, what he wants to do, what he's willing to do. Uh, he wants to share and document his progress, so he'll be doing a YouTube channel. So when I teach, um, I'm talking, he's not with me right now, but he's listening and watching. You are. So the things I'm talking about in this is going to be my suggestion to you if you maybe you've watched some of my videos, maybe you watched a lot of my videos, and you just don't know what to do or where to begin or what to do right now, what do I do right now? Because it's very daunting seeing how many videos I have and all these different concepts and all these different things, these moving parts. It's, it's very intimidating, and I get it. But it's, it's meant to be a compendium, meaning it's like it's my entire encyclopedia of what I'm willing to give to the public so you can go and you can build your own model. So I'm going to show my son how he should do it correctly this time, where it's step by step. Dad's going to be explaining it live, so that way there's no hindsight stuff. Not that it was ever hindsight when I was teaching and he would watch me push the button right in front of him, he would see me explain, "I think it's going to go here. This is where it's going to go next. I don't want to see it do this. I don't want to do that." This is real mentorship, okay? It's, we're not going to be doing any market replay. We're going to talk about theory and say, "Now, let me push the market forward and watch what happens." When you had the benefit of already knowing what it's going to do, that is absolutely not, that's not mentorship. That is absolutely not teaching anybody anything, and it certainly doesn't inspire trust in the person that you're learning from because they have the added benefit of knowing what has already happened. So seeing live price action, watching data tick, without the benefit of knowing what it's going to do, is exactly what you as a trader are going to have to encounter every single time you sit in front of the charts. You don't know what's going to happen. And right now is a wonderful learning experience because the climate is so statically charged. Everything that's going on over the Middle East right now, they're going to have reverberations throughout the entire market globally, and probably in your neck of the woods where you live. So it increases the level of responsibility on your part as someone that wants to engage in these markets because they're very risky. And now add to it the increased level and amplitude of uncertainty where anything can happen. You know, a bomb drops or a series of bombs drop in an unexpected location, and then boom, everything starts changing rapidly. And that fear and that rush will be injected into the marketplace, and they will use, they being the people that are in charge of price action. It's not the buying and selling pressure that moves price. And you'll hear a lot about that as I go. And I know some of you don't like that. I know some of you don't believe in an algorithm. I know you believe that, you know, buyers and sellers push price, and that's fine. I'll leave you to that myth. You want to believe in fairy tales, that's your, that's your business. I'm not going to try to wake you up from your dream. Sleep tight. Price will do what it's going to do because it's coded to do it based on time, okay? And time is essential. It's the first hallmark to when and why a market should produce a displacement, a run, whether it be impulsive, whether it be retracement, whether it be anything, it's always going to be delivered on the basis of time. It's going to move at a specific time or a period of time within 20 minutes. That's a macro. And we're going to talk about those things because I want to simplify it for my son. You all are getting that benefit of seeing it, hearing it, and being explained to you as if it were you being Caleb. I'm not hiding anything. I just sent him a text before I started. I said, "Just stop texting me. I'm doing it live right now. Don't talk to me in the text because you're going to distract me." Okay? So there's no secret texting going on. There's no conversation behind the scenes. Everything you see and experience while I'm doing these live streams is exactly what he's digesting the same way. And the things that I'm going to encourage him to do, my suggestion is to try it for yourself, and you're going to see everything that I taught is absolutely not complicated. The complication comes from people that want to take my stuff, they want to water it down to a one, two, three, a pattern so they can go out to Amazon and write a book. There's dozens of books about them, and I'm quite certain all of them are wrong, but it's a cash grab because my name's big right now. It won't be forever, and somebody else will become something interesting and and and that'll be the new buzz thing. But right now, the problem with it, the community that has any interest in me is either they want to do the gacha about me because it gives them grocery money, or they want to learn from me and then say they don't learn from me, but they talk with my vernacular, they use all my terms, they trade just like me, but they say they don't. And they do mentorships. So if you're one of those individuals, I'm going to help you too, not because I want to, but because it's going to be a default. It's, it's going to be a default, uh, response to you being here because you're going to learn how to finally do it instead of attending, instead of talking about and teaching through market replay. Okay? Um, I asked my son what his interest was. He doesn't want me to give him money to trade with, which is good. That's cool. So I asked him what his intentions were, and he said, "Are you going to go through like a prop firm again?" And he said he was going to use Top Step. Now, for disclosure, uh, if anyone, if anyone from Top Step is listening, I don't know if they do or don't. I know I have students in my mentorship that are affiliated with them, um, directly, not just users of it. But they have no connection to me. They have no connection to my son Caleb. There is no affiliate links, okay? I have no connection with Top Step. I did not ask them to be a partner with me. They didn't ask me to be a partner with them. I'm not trying to push any of you to their company. I personally would not trade with with a company like any of them. I, I just, I, I personally wouldn't do it. I'm just stating full disclosure. While my son learns how to do this, when he feels equipped to do that, again, he will then use Top Step to do a, a funded account. So that way, everything could be seen through the lens of that instrument so you can see what he's doing, when he's making money, when he's not making money, if he does any withdrawals and gets payouts, you'll see all that stuff, okay? So it's kind of like a, a test tube baby experiment. He's completely, he says he is. We'll see what happens when we do a little further along, but he says he's comfortable with disclosing all of it and he wants to put it on his own YouTube channel. And why does he want to do that? Because I'm going to, I'm going to kill that real quick. I know a lot of you are posted up and your paintings are on a bunch, "Oh, if he's so good and he's your son, he shouldn't need to do all these things." Well, here's what he's doing. He's working a job, just like you are. You're working a job, but you're probably on other people's YouTube channels and you're trolling people, and you're on those social media trolling because you're miserable because you don't have any money. Dad's not giving him any money. He doesn't want Dad to give him money. He wants to do it on his own steam. I respect that. That's exactly what I want him to do. I want all my kids to do that. I gave money to Cody and it didn't help him, so I learned my lesson there. So I make my kids work. If he knows there is an interest and there's a huge interest in what my kids are learning from me directly, so if I'm willing to teach him that and he's willing to share that and I'm comfortable with that, because if he makes a YouTube channel while he's learning, yes, there will be ad revenue behind those videos that he puts up and shows his his progress. That's not important right now in the grand scheme of things because there isn't going to be a whole lot of viewership. I'm sure initially. There's going to be the morbid curiosity of seeing him fail when he does fail, and they will be celebrated amongst the social media networks, okay? That's great. That's, that's, that's good because that draws a crowd. But when he has his milestones where he grows and gets a little bit more understanding and he finds his successes, and you hear him explain what he struggles with, when you hear him explain what he felt victorious over, and what he made a big deal out of while he was first learning how to do it, and then he realizes it wasn't that big of a deal, it will personify the very things that I've already taught and mentioned in Twitter Spaces where I would marvel, counsel, encourage them.

I told you all I would give you a drama, I would give you a tragedy, I'd give you a tearjerker, but at the end of the year, it's my name at the top of that list, okay? So just, just, just relax. Keep making your videos because you look stupid. Expose ICT. Filed Robin's Cup. This is going to make it even better. But anyway, our focus is going to be primarily on the NASDAQ today. But in this mentorship, I will go back to talking about Forex because I know a lot of you are stuck in that asset class, okay? Even though I'm not interested in pushing any orders through that market anymore, I will cover some of the things that are salient to that individual asset class when it is appropriate. But it's not appropriate right now because right now I want you to think about what it is you should be doing before you are trying to trade, before you're trying to trade with your funded accounts or trying to pass combines or whatnot. Um, full disclosure, I talked to Caleb and I asked him, you know, what his intentions were, what he wants to do, what he's willing to do. Uh, he wants to share and document his progress, so he'll be doing a YouTube channel. So when I teach, um, I'm talking, he's not with me right now, but he's listening and watching. You are. So the things I'm talking about in this is going to be my suggestion to you if you maybe you've watched some of my videos, maybe you watched a lot of my videos, and you just don't know what to do or where to begin or what to do right now, what do I do right now? Because it's very daunting seeing how many videos I have and all these different concepts and all these different things, these moving parts. It's, it's very intimidating, and I get it. But it's, it's meant to be a compendium, meaning it's like it's my entire encyclopedia of what I'm willing to give to the public so you can go and you can build your own model. So I'm going to show my son how he should do it correctly this time, where it's step by step. Dad's going to be explaining it live, so that way there's no hindsight stuff. Not that it was ever hindsight when I was teaching and he would watch me push the button right in front of him, he would see me explain, "I think it's going to go here. This is where it's going to go next. I don't want to see it do this. I don't want to do that." This is real mentorship, okay? It's, we're not going to be doing any market replay. We're going to talk about theory and say, "Now, let me push the market forward and watch what happens." When you had the benefit of already knowing what it's going to do, that is absolutely not, that's not mentorship. That is absolutely not teaching anybody anything, and it certainly doesn't inspire trust in the person that you're learning from because they have the added benefit of knowing what has already happened. So seeing live price action, watching data tick, without the benefit of knowing what it's going to do, is exactly what you as a trader are going to have to encounter every single time you sit in front of the charts. You don't know what's going to happen. And right now is a wonderful learning experience because the climate is so statically charged. Everything that's going on over the Middle East right now, they're going to have reverberations throughout the entire market globally, and probably in your neck of the woods where you live. So it increases the level of responsibility on your part as someone that wants to engage in these markets because they're very risky. And now add to it the increased level and amplitude of uncertainty where anything can happen. You know, a bomb drops or a series of bombs drop in an unexpected location, and then boom, everything starts changing rapidly. And that fear and that rush will be injected into the marketplace, and they will use, they being the people that are in charge of price action. It's not the buying and selling pressure that moves price. And you'll hear a lot about that as I go. And I know some of you don't like that. I know some of you don't believe in an algorithm. I know you believe that, you know, buyers and sellers push price, and that's fine. I'll leave you to that myth. You want to believe in fairy tales, that's your, that's your business. I'm not going to try to wake you up from your dream. Sleep tight. Price will do what it's going to do because it's coded to do it based on time, okay? And time is essential. It's the first hallmark to when and why a market should produce a displacement, a run, whether it be impulsive, whether it be retracement, whether it be anything, it's always going to be delivered on the basis of time. It's going to move at a specific time or a period of time within 20 minutes. That's a macro. And we're going to talk about those things because I want to simplify it for my son. You all are getting that benefit of seeing it, hearing it, and being explained to you as if it were you being Caleb. I'm not hiding anything. I just sent him a text before I started. I said, "Just stop texting me. I'm doing it live right now. Don't talk to me in the text because you're going to distract me." Okay? So there's no secret texting going on. There's no conversation behind the scenes. Everything you see and experience while I'm doing these live streams is exactly what he's digesting the same way. And the things that I'm going to encourage him to do, my suggestion is to try it for yourself, and you're going to see everything that I taught is absolutely not complicated. The complication comes from people that want to take my stuff, they want to water it down to a one, two, three, a pattern so they can go out to Amazon and write a book. There's dozens of books about them, and I'm quite certain all of them are wrong, but it's a cash grab because my name's big right now. It won't be forever, and somebody else will become something interesting and and and that'll be the new buzz thing. But right now, the problem with it, the community that has any interest in me is either they want to do the gacha about me because it gives them grocery money, or they want to learn from me and then say they don't learn from me, but they talk with my vernacular, they use all my terms, they trade just like me, but they say they don't. And they do mentorships. So if you're one of those individuals, I'm going to help you too, not because I want to, but because it's going to be a default. It's, it's going to be a default, uh, response to you being here because you're going to learn how to finally do it instead of attending, instead of talking about and teaching through market replay. Okay? Um, I asked my son what his interest was. He doesn't want me to give him money to trade with, which is good. That's cool. So I asked him what his intentions were, and he said, "Are you going to go through like a prop firm again?" And he said he was going to use Top Step. Now, for disclosure, uh, if anyone, if anyone from Top Step is listening, I don't know if they do or don't. I know I have students in my mentorship that are affiliated with them, um, directly, not just users of it. But they have no connection to me. They have no connection to my son Caleb. There is no affiliate links, okay? I have no connection with Top Step. I did not ask them to be a partner with me. They didn't ask me to be a partner with them. I'm not trying to push any of you to their company. I personally would not trade with with a company like any of them. I, I just, I, I personally wouldn't do it. I'm just stating full disclosure. While my son learns how to do this, when he feels equipped to do that, again, he will then use Top Step to do a, a funded account. So that way, everything could be seen through the lens of that instrument so you can see what he's doing, when he's making money, when he's not making money, if he does any withdrawals and gets payouts, you'll see all that stuff, okay? So it's kind of like a, a test tube baby experiment. He's completely, he says he is. We'll see what happens when we do a little further along, but he says he's comfortable with disclosing all of it and he wants to put it on his own YouTube channel. And why does he want to do that? Because I'm going to, I'm going to kill that real quick. I know a lot of you are posted up and your paintings are on a bunch, "Oh, if he's so good and he's your son, he shouldn't need to do all these things." Well, here's what he's doing. He's working a job, just like you are. You're working a job, but you're probably on other people's YouTube channels and you're trolling people, and you're on those social media trolling because you're miserable because you don't have any money. Dad's not giving him any money. He doesn't want Dad to give him money. He wants to do it on his own steam. I respect that. That's exactly what I want him to do. I want all my kids to do that. I gave money to Cody and it didn't help him, so I learned my lesson there. So I make my kids work. If he knows there is an interest and there's a huge interest in what my kids are learning from me directly, so if I'm willing to teach him that and he's willing to share that and I'm comfortable with that, because if he makes a YouTube channel while he's learning, yes, there will be ad revenue behind those videos that he puts up and shows his his progress. That's not important right now in the grand scheme of things because there isn't going to be a whole lot of viewership. I'm sure initially. There's going to be the morbid curiosity of seeing him fail when he does fail, and they will be celebrated amongst the social media networks, okay? That's great. That's, that's, that's good because that draws a crowd. But when he has his milestones where he grows and gets a little bit more understanding and he finds his successes, and you hear him explain what he struggles with, when you hear him explain what he felt victorious over, and what he made a big deal out of while he was first learning how to do it, and then he realizes it wasn't that big of a deal, it will personify the very things that I've already taught and mentioned in Twitter Spaces where I would marvel, counsel, encourage them. But you think I'm talking to you. I'm talking to them, and that's why you have this connection with you because you hear the sincerity in what it is I'm teaching because I care about them receiving it from you. So it's like an archive of me teaching, instructing, encouraging my own children. So when I'm talking with sincerity and empathy, it's genuine because I have them in my mind. Now, invariably, sometimes I get a student that's outside my family tree and they'll contact me and they'll say, "Hey, look, you know, I really appreciate that you could do this, this, that." And I would touch on those types of those types of things. And or one of my kids will say, "Dad, how do you, how do you deal with a situation like this? Or what if the market does that? Do you know when not to do something or when should you really push it aggressively?" Um, I'm going to talk a little bit about that, not so much today, but I want to give like a baseline on where you should be at when you first sit down to start learning how to do this. I'll push buttons in front of you. I'll talk about where the market should go. I'll talk about what PD array isn't so important to me at the time and why, and the ones that I think are important. So that way, it kind of like filters out. And because I plan on doing this Monday through Friday, it will be an exercise for you. Now, if you are already profitable, if you're already profitable, whether you're using my concepts or a derivative of them, or you're doing something entirely different, it's probably better that you don't watch the live stream. Just do what you normally do because I'm probably going to distract you, or I'll be a perfect excuse for you. If you take a losing trade, you'll say, "ICT called me to lose money," and you won't take responsibility, and you need to be responsible. Okay? Um, the things I'm going to touch on is obviously, you know, where your mind should be every day sitting down in front of the charts. You have to have some reason to be in the charts doing it. So that's the reason why I started the the stream at around 8:00. I know it was like seven minutes late, but you're not my employer, so I can punch in late if I want, and I can go home early if I want. So I want to talk a little bit about that. Ahead of 8:30, we have a heavy news driver, the ISM PMI number. At 10:00, I'll be with you until probably like quarter after 10:00, okay? But, uh, this mentorship, at least the first lecture here, is probably going to be a little annoying for some of you that just want to get out here and start pushing buttons. But I promise you, if you don't want to sit through this live, come back to it when you have time to do it before you watch tomorrow's live stream, okay? Because otherwise, you'll miss the whole importance of what it is that you should be doing before you sit down, whether you're watching my live stream, someone else's live stream, or you're doing your own model, you're in trade, okay? Because it's very, very important that you have a real reason of why you're doing it. Some of you are here just want to see me do something and it not pan out, just so we can go on social media and get some clicks and likes and some, you know, interactions because you need to get your grocery bill. And that's fine, but I'm not here to do those types of things. I'm not here to brag. I'm not here to post. And yes, I'm going to win the Robin's Cup. Stop sending me emails, okay? Just, I got plenty of time for that. Don't worry about it. It's in the bag, trust me on that. I told you all I would give you a drama, I would give you a tragedy, I'd give you a tearjerker, but at the end of the year, it's my name at the top of that list, okay? So just, just, just relax. Keep making your videos because you look stupid. Expose ICT. Filed Robin's Cup. This is going to make it even better. But anyway, our focus is going to be primarily on the NASDAQ today.

I know you believe that, you know, buyers and sellers push price, and that's fine. I'll leave you to that myth. You want to believe in fairy tales, that's your, that's your business. I'm not going to try to wake you up from your dream. Sleep tight. Price will do what it's going to do because it's coded to do it based on time, okay? And time is essential. It's the first hallmark to when and why a market should produce a displacement, a run, whether it be impulsive, whether it be retracement, whether it be anything, it's always going to be delivered on the basis of time. It's going to move at a specific time or a period of time within 20 minutes. That's a macro. And we're going to talk about those things because I want to simplify it for my son. You all are getting that benefit of seeing it, hearing it, and being explained to you as if it were you being Caleb. I'm not hiding anything. I just sent him a text before I started. I said, "Just stop texting me. I'm doing it live right now. Don't talk to me in the text because you're going to distract me." Okay? So there's no secret texting going on. There's no conversation behind the scenes. Everything you see and experience while I'm doing these live streams is exactly what he's digesting the same way. And the things that I'm going to encourage him to do, my suggestion is to try it for yourself, and you're going to see everything that I taught is absolutely not complicated. The complication comes from people that want to take my stuff, they want to water it down to a one, two, three, a pattern so they can go out to Amazon and write a book. There's dozens of books about them, and I'm quite certain all of them are wrong, but it's a cash grab because my name's big right now. It won't be forever, and somebody else will become something interesting and and and that'll be the new buzz thing. But right now, the problem with it, the community that has any interest in me is either they want to do the gacha about me because it gives them grocery money, or they want to learn from me and then say they don't learn from me, but they talk with my vernacular, they use all my terms, they trade just like me, but they say they don't. And they do mentorships. So if you're one of those individuals, I'm going to help you too, not because I want to, but because it's going to be a default. It's, it's going to be a default, uh, response to you being here because you're going to learn how to finally do it instead of attending, instead of talking about and teaching through market replay. Okay? Um, I asked my son what his interest was. He doesn't want me to give him money to trade with, which is good. That's cool. So I asked him what his intentions were, and he said, "Are you going to go through like a prop firm again?" And he said he was going to use Top Step. Now, for disclosure, uh, if anyone, if anyone from Top Step is listening, I don't know if they do or don't. I know I have students in my mentorship that are affiliated with them, um, directly, not just users of it. But they have no connection to me. They have no connection to my son Caleb. There is no affiliate links, okay? I have no connection with Top Step. I did not ask them to be a partner with me. They didn't ask me to be a partner with them. I'm not trying to push any of you to their company. I personally would not trade with with a company like any of them. I, I just, I, I personally wouldn't do it. I'm just stating full disclosure. While my son learns how to do this, when he feels equipped to do that, again, he will then use Top Step to do a, a funded account. So that way, everything could be seen through the lens of that instrument so you can see what he's doing, when he's making money, when he's not making money, if he does any withdrawals and gets payouts, you'll see all that stuff, okay? So it's kind of like a, a test tube baby experiment. He's completely, he says he is. We'll see what happens when we do a little further along, but he says he's comfortable with disclosing all of it and he wants to put it on his own YouTube channel. And why does he want to do that? Because I'm going to, I'm going to kill that real quick. I know a lot of you are posted up and your paintings are on a bunch, "Oh, if he's so good and he's your son, he shouldn't need to do all these things." Well, here's what he's doing. He's working a job, just like you are. You're working a job, but you're probably on other people's YouTube channels and you're trolling people, and you're on those social media trolling because you're miserable because you don't have any money. Dad's not giving him any money. He doesn't want Dad to give him money. He wants to do it on his own steam. I respect that. That's exactly what I want him to do. I want all my kids to do that. I gave money to Cody and it didn't help him, so I learned my lesson there. So I make my kids work. If he knows there is an interest and there's a huge interest in what my kids are learning from me directly, so if I'm willing to teach him that and he's willing to share that and I'm comfortable with that, because if he makes a YouTube channel while he's learning, yes, there will be ad revenue behind those videos that he puts up and shows his his progress. That's not important right now in the grand scheme of things because there isn't going to be a whole lot of viewership. I'm sure initially. There's going to be the morbid curiosity of seeing him fail when he does fail, and they will be celebrated amongst the social media networks, okay? That's great. That's, that's, that's good because that draws a crowd. But when he has his milestones where he grows and gets a little bit more understanding and he finds his successes, and you hear him explain what he struggles with, when you hear him explain what he felt victorious over, and what he made a big deal out of while he was first learning how to do it, and then he realizes it wasn't that big of a deal, it will personify the very things that I've already taught and mentioned in Twitter Spaces where I would marvel, counsel, encourage them. But you think I'm talking to you. I'm talking to them, and that's why you have this connection with you because you hear the sincerity in what it is I'm teaching because I care about them receiving it from you. So it's like an archive of me teaching, instructing, encouraging my own children. So when I'm talking with sincerity and empathy, it's genuine because I have them in my mind. Now, invariably, sometimes I get a student that's outside my family tree and they'll contact me and they'll say, "Hey, look, you know, I really appreciate that you could do this, this, that." And I would touch on those types of those types of things. And or one of my kids will say, "Dad, how do you, how do you deal with a situation like this? Or what if the market does that? Do you know when not to do something or when should you really push it aggressively?" Um, I'm going to talk a little bit about that, not so much today, but I want to give like a baseline on where you should be at when you first sit down to start learning how to do this. I'll push buttons in front of you. I'll talk about where the market should go. I'll talk about what PD array isn't so important to me at the time and why, and the ones that I think are important. So that way, it kind of like filters out. And because I plan on doing this Monday through Friday, it will be an exercise for you. Now, if you are already profitable, if you're already profitable, whether you're using my concepts or a derivative of them, or you're doing something entirely different, it's probably better that you don't watch the live stream. Just do what you normally do because I'm probably going to distract you, or I'll be a perfect excuse for you. If you take a losing trade, you'll say, "ICT called me to lose money," and you won't take responsibility, and you need to be responsible. Okay? Um, the things I'm going to touch on is obviously, you know, where your mind should be every day sitting down in front of the charts. You have to have some reason to be in the charts doing it. So that's the reason why I started the the stream at around 8:00. I know it was like seven minutes late, but you're not my employer, so I can punch in late if I want, and I can go home early if I want. So I want to talk a little bit about that. Ahead of 8:30, we have a heavy news driver, the ISM PMI number. At 10:00, I'll be with you until probably like quarter after 10:00, okay? But, uh, this mentorship, at least the first lecture here, is probably going to be a little annoying for some of you that just want to get out here and start pushing buttons. But I promise you, if you don't want to sit through this live, come back to it when you have time to do it before you watch tomorrow's live stream, okay? Because otherwise, you'll miss the whole importance of what it is that you should be doing before you sit down, whether you're watching my live stream, someone else's live stream, or you're doing your own model, you're in trade, okay? Because it's very, very important that you have a real reason of why you're doing it. Some of you are here just want to see me do something and it not pan out, just so we can go on social media and get some clicks and likes and some, you know, interactions because you need to get your grocery bill. And that's fine, but I'm not here to do those types of things. I'm not here to brag. I'm not here to post. And yes, I'm going to win the Robin's Cup. Stop sending me emails, okay? Just, I got plenty of time for that. Don't worry about it. It's in the bag, trust me on that. I told you all I would give you a drama, I would give you a tragedy, I'd give you a tearjerker, but at the end of the year, it's my name at the top of that list, okay? So just, just, just relax. Keep making your videos because you look stupid. Expose ICT. Filed Robin's Cup. This is going to make it even better. But anyway, our focus is going to be primarily on the NASDAQ today. But in this mentorship, I will go back to talking about Forex because I know a lot of you are stuck in that asset class, okay? Even though I'm not interested in pushing any orders through that market anymore, I will cover some of the things that are salient to that individual asset class when it is appropriate. But it's not appropriate right now because right now I want you to think about what it is you should be doing before you are trying to trade, before you're trying to trade with your funded accounts or trying to pass combines or whatnot. Um, full disclosure, I talked to Caleb and I asked him, you know, what his intentions were, what he wants to do, what he's willing to do. Uh, he wants to share and document his progress, so he'll be doing a YouTube channel. So when I teach, um, I'm talking, he's not with me right now, but he's listening and watching. You are. So the things I'm talking about in this is going to be my suggestion to you if you maybe you've watched some of my videos, maybe you watched a lot of my videos, and you just don't know what to do or where to begin or what to do right now, what do I do right now? Because it's very daunting seeing how many videos I have and all these different concepts and all these different things, these moving parts. It's, it's very intimidating, and I get it. But it's, it's meant to be a compendium, meaning it's like it's my entire encyclopedia of what I'm willing to give to the public so you can go and you can build your own model. So I'm going to show my son how he should do it correctly this time, where it's step by step. Dad's going to be explaining it live, so that way there's no hindsight stuff. Not that it was ever hindsight when I was teaching and he would watch me push the button right in front of him, he would see me explain, "I think it's going to go here. This is where it's going to go next. I don't want to see it do this. I don't want to do that." This is real mentorship, okay? It's, we're not going to be doing any market replay. We're going to talk about theory and say, "Now, let me push the market forward and watch what happens." When you had the benefit of already knowing what it's going to do, that is absolutely not, that's not mentorship. That is absolutely not teaching anybody anything, and it certainly doesn't inspire trust in the person that you're learning from because they have the added benefit of knowing what has already happened. So seeing live price action, watching data tick, without the benefit of knowing what it's going to do, is exactly what you as a trader are going to have to encounter every single time you sit in front of the charts. You don't know what's going to happen. And right now is a wonderful learning experience because the climate is so statically charged. Everything that's going on over the Middle East right now, they're going to have reverberations throughout the entire market globally, and probably in your neck of the woods where you live. So it increases the level of responsibility on your part as someone that wants to engage in these markets because they're very risky. And now add to it the increased level and amplitude of uncertainty where anything can happen. You know, a bomb drops or a series of bombs drop in an unexpected location, and then boom, everything starts changing rapidly. And that fear and that rush will be injected into the marketplace, and they will use, they being the people that are in charge of price action. It's not the buying and selling pressure that moves price. And you'll hear a lot about that as I go. And I know some of you don't like that. I know some of you don't believe in an algorithm. I know you believe that, you know, buyers and sellers push price, and that's fine. I'll leave you to that myth. You want to believe in fairy tales, that's your, that's your business. I'm not going to try to wake you up from your dream. Sleep tight. Price will do what it's going to do because it's coded to do it based on time, okay? And time is essential.

We'll see what happens when we do a little further along, but he says he's comfortable with disclosing all of it and he wants to put it on his own YouTube channel. And why does he want to do that? Because I'm going to, I'm going to kill that real quick. I know a lot of you are posted up and your paintings are on a bunch, "Oh, if he's so good and he's your son, he shouldn't need to do all these things." Well, here's what he's doing. He's working a job, just like you are. You're working a job, but you're probably on other people's YouTube channels and you're trolling people, and you're on those social media trolling because you're miserable because you don't have any money. Dad's not giving him any money. He doesn't want Dad to give him money. He wants to do it on his own steam. I respect that. That's exactly what I want him to do. I want all my kids to do that. I gave money to Cody and it didn't help him, so I learned my lesson there. So I make my kids work. If he knows there is an interest and there's a huge interest in what my kids are learning from me directly, so if I'm willing to teach him that and he's willing to share that and I'm comfortable with that, because if he makes a YouTube channel while he's learning, yes, there will be ad revenue behind those videos that he puts up and shows his his progress. That's not important right now in the grand scheme of things because there isn't going to be a whole lot of viewership. I'm sure initially. There's going to be the morbid curiosity of seeing him fail when he does fail, and they will be celebrated amongst the social media networks, okay? That's great. That's, that's, that's good because that draws a crowd. But when he has his milestones where he grows and gets a little bit more understanding and he finds his successes, and you hear him explain what he struggles with, when you hear him explain what he felt victorious over, and what he made a big deal out of while he was first learning how to do it, and then he realizes it wasn't that big of a deal, it will personify the very things that I've already taught and mentioned in Twitter Spaces where I would marvel, counsel, encourage them. But you think I'm talking to you. I'm talking to them, and that's why you have this connection with you because you hear the sincerity in what it is I'm teaching because I care about them receiving it from you. So it's like an archive of me teaching, instructing, encouraging my own children. So when I'm talking with sincerity and empathy, it's genuine because I have them in my mind. Now, invariably, sometimes I get a student that's outside my family tree and they'll contact me and they'll say, "Hey, look, you know, I really appreciate that you could do this, this, that." And I would touch on those types of those types of things. And or one of my kids will say, "Dad, how do you, how do you deal with a situation like this? Or what if the market does that? Do you know when not to do something or when should you really push it aggressively?" Um, I'm going to talk a little bit about that, not so much today, but I want to give like a baseline on where you should be at when you first sit down to start learning how to do this. I'll push buttons in front of you. I'll talk about where the market should go. I'll talk about what PD array isn't so important to me at the time and why, and the ones that I think are important. So that way, it kind of like filters out. And because I plan on doing this Monday through Friday, it will be an exercise for you. Now, if you are already profitable, if you're already profitable, whether you're using my concepts or a derivative of them, or you're doing something entirely different, it's probably better that you don't watch the live stream. Just do what you normally do because I'm probably going to distract you, or I'll be a perfect excuse for you. If you take a losing trade, you'll say, "ICT called me to lose money," and you won't take responsibility, and you need to be responsible. Okay? Um, the things I'm going to touch on is obviously, you know, where your mind should be every day sitting down in front of the charts. You have to have some reason to be in the charts doing it. So that's the reason why I started the the stream at around 8:00. I know it was like seven minutes late, but you're not my employer, so I can punch in late if I want, and I can go home early if I want. So I want to talk a little bit about that. Ahead of 8:30, we have a heavy news driver, the ISM PMI number. At 10:00, I'll be with you until probably like quarter after 10:00, okay? But, uh, this mentorship, at least the first lecture here, is probably going to be a little annoying for some of you that just want to get out here and start pushing buttons. But I promise you, if you don't want to sit through this live, come back to it when you have time to do it before you watch tomorrow's live stream, okay? Because otherwise, you'll miss the whole importance of what it is that you should be doing before you sit down, whether you're watching my live stream, someone else's live stream, or you're doing your own model, you're in trade, okay? Because it's very, very important that you have a real reason of why you're doing it. Some of you are here just want to see me do something and it not pan out, just so we can go on social media and get some clicks and likes and some, you know, interactions because you need to get your grocery bill. And that's fine, but I'm not here to do those types of things. I'm not here to brag. I'm not here to post. And yes, I'm going to win the Robin's Cup. Stop sending me emails, okay? Just, I got plenty of time for that. Don't worry about it. It's in the bag, trust me on that. I told you all I would give you a drama, I would give you a tragedy, I'd give you a tearjerker, but at the end of the year, it's my name at the top of that list, okay? So just, just, just relax. Keep making your videos because you look stupid. Expose ICT. Filed Robin's Cup. This is going to make it even better. But anyway, our focus is going to be primarily on the NASDAQ today. But in this mentorship, I will go back to talking about Forex because I know a lot of you are stuck in that asset class, okay? Even though I'm not interested in pushing any orders through that market anymore, I will cover some of the things that are salient to that individual asset class when it is appropriate. But it's not appropriate right now because right now I want you to think about what it is you should be doing before you are trying to trade, before you're trying to trade with your funded accounts or trying to pass combines or whatnot. Um, full disclosure, I talked to Caleb and I asked him, you know, what his intentions were, what he wants to do, what he's willing to do. Uh, he wants to share and document his progress, so he'll be doing a YouTube channel. So when I teach, um, I'm talking, he's not with me right now, but he's listening and watching. You are. So the things I'm talking about in this is going to be my suggestion to you if you maybe you've watched some of my videos, maybe you watched a lot of my videos, and you just don't know what to do or where to begin or what to do right now, what do I do right now? Because it's very daunting seeing how many videos I have and all these different concepts and all these different things, these moving parts. It's, it's very intimidating, and I get it. But it's, it's meant to be a compendium, meaning it's like it's my entire encyclopedia of what I'm willing to give to the public so you can go and you can build your own model. So I'm going to show my son how he should do it correctly this time, where it's step by step. Dad's going to be explaining it live, so that way there's no hindsight stuff. Not that it was ever hindsight when I was teaching and he would watch me push the button right in front of him, he would see me explain, "I think it's going to go here. This is where it's going to go next. I don't want to see it do this. I don't want to do that." This is real mentorship, okay? It's, we're not going to be doing any market replay. We're going to talk about theory and say, "Now, let me push the market forward and watch what happens." When you had the benefit of already knowing what it's going to do, that is absolutely not, that's not mentorship. That is absolutely not teaching anybody anything, and it certainly doesn't inspire trust in the person that you're learning from because they have the added benefit of knowing what has already happened. So seeing live price action, watching data tick, without the benefit of knowing what it's going to do, is exactly what you as a trader are going to have to encounter every single time you sit in front of the charts. You don't know what's going to happen. And right now is a wonderful learning experience because the climate is so statically charged. Everything that's going on over the Middle East right now, they're going to have reverberations throughout the entire market globally, and probably in your neck of the woods where you live. So it increases the level of responsibility on your part as someone that wants to engage in these markets because they're very risky. And now add to it the increased level and amplitude of uncertainty where anything can happen. You know, a bomb drops or a series of bombs drop in an unexpected location, and then boom, everything starts changing rapidly. And that fear and that rush will be injected into the marketplace, and they will use, they being the people that are in charge of price action. It's not the buying and selling pressure that moves price. And you'll hear a lot about that as I go. And I know some of you don't like that. I know some of you don't believe in an algorithm. I know you believe that, you know, buyers and sellers push price, and that's fine. I'll leave you to that myth. You want to believe in fairy tales, that's your, that's your business. I'm not going to try to wake you up from your dream. Sleep tight. Price will do what it's going to do because it's coded to do it based on time, okay? And time is essential. It's the first hallmark to when and why a market should produce a displacement, a run, whether it be impulsive, whether it be retracement, whether it be anything, it's always going to be delivered on the basis of time. It's going to move at a specific time or a period of time within 20 minutes. That's a macro. And we're going to talk about those things because I want to simplify it for my son. You all are getting that benefit of seeing it, hearing it, and being explained to you as if it were you being Caleb. I'm not hiding anything. I just sent him a text before I started. I said, "Just stop texting me. I'm doing it live right now. Don't talk to me in the text because you're going to distract me." Okay? So there's no secret texting going on. There's no conversation behind the scenes. Everything you see and experience while I'm doing these live streams is exactly what he's digesting the same way. And the things that I'm going to encourage him to do, my suggestion is to try it for yourself, and you're going to see everything that I taught is absolutely not complicated. The complication comes from people that want to take my stuff, they want to water it down to a one, two, three, a pattern so they can go out to Amazon and write a book. There's dozens of books about them, and I'm quite certain all of them are wrong, but it's a cash grab because my name's big right now. It won't be forever, and somebody else will become something interesting and and and that'll be the new buzz thing. But right now, the problem with it, the community that has any interest in me is either they want to do the gacha about me because it gives them grocery money, or they want to learn from me and then say they don't learn from me, but they talk with my vernacular, they use all my terms, they trade just like me, but they say they don't. And they do mentorships. So if you're one of those individuals, I'm going to help you too, not because I want to, but because it's going to be a default. It's, it's going to be a default, uh, response to you being here because you're going to learn how to finally do it instead of attending, instead of talking about and teaching through market replay. Okay? Um, I asked my son what his interest was. He doesn't want me to give him money to trade with, which is good. That's cool. So I asked him what his intentions were, and he said, "Are you going to go through like a prop firm again?" And he said he was going to use Top Step. Now, for disclosure, uh, if anyone, if anyone from Top Step is listening, I don't know if they do or don't. I know I have students in my mentorship that are affiliated with them, um, directly, not just users of it. But they have no connection to me. They have no connection to my son Caleb. There is no affiliate links, okay? I have no connection with Top Step. I did not ask them to be a partner with me. They didn't ask me to be a partner with them. I'm not trying to push any of you to their company. I personally would not trade with with a company like any of them. I, I just, I, I personally wouldn't do it. I'm just stating full disclosure. While my son learns how to do this, when he feels equipped to do that, again, he will then use Top Step to do a, a funded account. So that way, everything could be seen through the lens of that instrument so you can see what he's doing, when he's making money, when he's not making money, if he does any withdrawals and gets payouts, you'll see all that stuff, okay? So it's kind of like a, a test tube baby experiment. He's completely, he says he is. We'll see what happens when we do a little further along, but he says he's comfortable with disclosing all of it and he wants to put it on his own YouTube channel. And why does he want to do that?

If you take a losing trade, you'll say, "ICT called me to lose money," and you won't take responsibility, and you need to be responsible. Okay? Um, the things I'm going to touch on is obviously, you know, where your mind should be every day sitting down in front of the charts. You have to have some reason to be in the charts doing it. So that's the reason why I started the the stream at around 8:00. I know it was like seven minutes late, but you're not my employer, so I can punch in late if I want, and I can go home early if I want. So I want to talk a little bit about that. Ahead of 8:30, we have a heavy news driver, the ISM PMI number. At 10:00, I'll be with you until probably like quarter after 10:00, okay? But, uh, this mentorship, at least the first lecture here, is probably going to be a little annoying for some of you that just want to get out here and start pushing buttons. But I promise you, if you don't want to sit through this live, come back to it when you have time to do it before you watch tomorrow's live stream, okay? Because otherwise, you'll miss the whole importance of what it is that you should be doing before you sit down, whether you're watching my live stream, someone else's live stream, or you're doing your own model, you're in trade, okay? Because it's very, very important that you have a real reason of why you're doing it. Some of you are here just want to see me do something and it not pan out, just so we can go on social media and get some clicks and likes and some, you know, interactions because you need to get your grocery bill. And that's fine, but I'm not here to do those types of things. I'm not here to brag. I'm not here to post. And yes, I'm going to win the Robin's Cup. Stop sending me emails, okay? Just, I got plenty of time for that. Don't worry about it. It's in the bag, trust me on that. I told you all I would give you a drama, I would give you a tragedy, I'd give you a tearjerker, but at the end of the year, it's my name at the top of that list, okay? So just, just, just relax. Keep making your videos because you look stupid. Expose ICT. Filed Robin's Cup. This is going to make it even better. But anyway, our focus is going to be primarily on the NASDAQ today. But in this mentorship, I will go back to talking about Forex because I know a lot of you are stuck in that asset class, okay? Even though I'm not interested in pushing any orders through that market anymore, I will cover some of the things that are salient to that individual asset class when it is appropriate. But it's not appropriate right now because right now I want you to think about what it is you should be doing before you are trying to trade, before you're trying to trade with your funded accounts or trying to pass combines or whatnot. Um, full disclosure, I talked to Caleb and I asked him, you know, what his intentions were, what he wants to do, what he's willing to do. Uh, he wants to share and document his progress, so he'll be doing a YouTube channel. So when I teach, um, I'm talking, he's not with me right now, but he's listening and watching. You are. So the things I'm talking about in this is going to be my suggestion to you if you maybe you've watched some of my videos, maybe you watched a lot of my videos, and you just don't know what to do or where to begin or what to do right now, what do I do right now? Because it's very daunting seeing how many videos I have and all these different concepts and all these different things, these moving parts. It's, it's very intimidating, and I get it. But it's, it's meant to be a compendium, meaning it's like it's my entire encyclopedia of what I'm willing to give to the public so you can go and you can build your own model. So I'm going to show my son how he should do it correctly this time, where it's step by step. Dad's going to be explaining it live, so that way there's no hindsight stuff. Not that it was ever hindsight when I was teaching and he would watch me push the button right in front of him, he would see me explain, "I think it's going to go here. This is where it's going to go next. I don't want to see it do this. I don't want to do that." This is real mentorship, okay? It's, we're not going to be doing any market replay. We're going to talk about theory and say, "Now, let me push the market forward and watch what happens." When you had the benefit of already knowing what it's going to do, that is absolutely not, that's not mentorship. That is absolutely not teaching anybody anything, and it certainly doesn't inspire trust in the person that you're learning from because they have the added benefit of knowing what has already happened. So seeing live price action, watching data tick, without the benefit of knowing what it's going to do, is exactly what you as a trader are going to have to encounter every single time you sit in front of the charts. You don't know what's going to happen. And right now is a wonderful learning experience because the climate is so statically charged. Everything that's going on over the Middle East right now, they're going to have reverberations throughout the entire market globally, and probably in your neck of the woods where you live. So it increases the level of responsibility on your part as someone that wants to engage in these markets because they're very risky. And now add to it the increased level and amplitude of uncertainty where anything can happen. You know, a bomb drops or a series of bombs drop in an unexpected location, and then boom, everything starts changing rapidly. And that fear and that rush will be injected into the marketplace, and they will use, they being the people that are in charge of price action. It's not the buying and selling pressure that moves price. And you'll hear a lot about that as I go. And I know some of you don't like that. I know some of you don't believe in an algorithm. I know you believe that, you know, buyers and sellers push price, and that's fine. I'll leave you to that myth. You want to believe in fairy tales, that's your, that's your business. I'm not going to try to wake you up from your dream. Sleep tight. Price will do what it's going to do because it's coded to do it based on time, okay? And time is essential. It's the first hallmark to when and why a market should produce a displacement, a run, whether it be impulsive, whether it be retracement, whether it be anything, it's always going to be delivered on the basis of time. It's going to move at a specific time or a period of time within 20 minutes. That's a macro. And we're going to talk about those things because I want to simplify it for my son. You all are getting that benefit of seeing it, hearing it, and being explained to you as if it were you being Caleb. I'm not hiding anything. I just sent him a text before I started. I said, "Just stop texting me. I'm doing it live right now. Don't talk to me in the text because you're going to distract me." Okay? So there's no secret texting going on. There's no conversation behind the scenes. Everything you see and experience while I'm doing these live streams is exactly what he's digesting the same way. And the things that I'm going to encourage him to do, my suggestion is to try it for yourself, and you're going to see everything that I taught is absolutely not complicated. The complication comes from people that want to take my stuff, they want to water it down to a one, two, three, a pattern so they can go out to Amazon and write a book. There's dozens of books about them, and I'm quite certain all of them are wrong, but it's a cash grab because my name's big right now. It won't be forever, and somebody else will become something interesting and and and that'll be the new buzz thing. But right now, the problem with it, the community that has any interest in me is either they want to do the gacha about me because it gives them grocery money, or they want to learn from me and then say they don't learn from me, but they talk with my vernacular, they use all my terms, they trade just like me, but they say they don't. And they do mentorships. So if you're one of those individuals, I'm going to help you too, not because I want to, but because it's going to be a default. It's, it's going to be a default, uh, response to you being here because you're going to learn how to finally do it instead of attending, instead of talking about and teaching through market replay. Okay? Um, I asked my son what his interest was. He doesn't want me to give him money to trade with, which is good. That's cool. So I asked him what his intentions were, and he said, "Are you going to go through like a prop firm again?" And he said he was going to use Top Step. Now, for disclosure, uh, if anyone, if anyone from Top Step is listening, I don't know if they do or don't. I know I have students in my mentorship that are affiliated with them, um, directly, not just users of it. But they have no connection to me. They have no connection to my son Caleb. There is no affiliate links, okay? I have no connection with Top Step. I did not ask them to be a partner with me. They didn't ask me to be a partner with them. I'm not trying to push any of you to their company. I personally would not trade with with a company like any of them. I, I just, I, I personally wouldn't do it. I'm just stating full disclosure. While my son learns how to do this, when he feels equipped to do that, again, he will then use Top Step to do a, a funded account. So that way, everything could be seen through the lens of that instrument so you can see what he's doing, when he's making money, when he's not making money, if he does any withdrawals and gets payouts, you'll see all that stuff, okay? So it's kind of like a, a test tube baby experiment. He's completely, he says he is. We'll see what happens when we do a little further along, but he says he's comfortable with disclosing all of it and he wants to put it on his own YouTube channel. And why does he want to do that? Because I'm going to, I'm going to kill that real quick. I know a lot of you are posted up and your paintings are on a bunch, "Oh, if he's so good and he's your son, he shouldn't need to do all these things." Well, here's what he's doing. He's working a job, just like you are. You're working a job, but you're probably on other people's YouTube channels and you're trolling people, and you're on those social media trolling because you're miserable because you don't have any money. Dad's not giving him any money. He doesn't want Dad to give him money. He wants to do it on his own steam. I respect that. That's exactly what I want him to do. I want all my kids to do that. I gave money to Cody and it didn't help him, so I learned my lesson there. So I make my kids work. If he knows there is an interest and there's a huge interest in what my kids are learning from me directly, so if I'm willing to teach him that and he's willing to share that and I'm comfortable with that, because if he makes a YouTube channel while he's learning, yes, there will be ad revenue behind those videos that he puts up and shows his his progress. That's not important right now in the grand scheme of things because there isn't going to be a whole lot of viewership. I'm sure initially. There's going to be the morbid curiosity of seeing him fail when he does fail, and they will be celebrated amongst the social media networks, okay? That's great. That's, that's, that's good because that draws a crowd. But when he has his milestones where he grows and gets a little bit more understanding and he finds his successes, and you hear him explain what he struggles with, when you hear him explain what he felt victorious over, and what he made a big deal out of while he was first learning how to do it, and then he realizes it wasn't that big of a deal, it will personify the very things that I've already taught and mentioned in Twitter Spaces where I would marvel, counsel, encourage them. But you think I'm talking to you. I'm talking to them, and that's why you have this connection with you because you hear the sincerity in what it is I'm teaching because I care about them receiving it from you. So it's like an archive of me teaching, instructing, encouraging my own children. So when I'm talking with sincerity and empathy, it's genuine because I have them in my mind. Now, invariably, sometimes I get a student that's outside my family tree and they'll contact me and they'll say, "Hey, look, you know, I really appreciate that you could do this, this, that." And I would touch on those types of those types of things. And or one of my kids will say, "Dad, how do you, how do you deal with a situation like this? Or what if the market does that? Do you know when not to do something or when should you really push it aggressively?" Um, I'm going to talk a little bit about that, not so much today, but I want to give like a baseline on where you should be at when you first sit down to start learning how to do this. I'll push buttons in front of you. I'll talk about where the market should go. I'll talk about what PD array isn't so important to me at the time and why, and the ones that I think are important. So that way, it kind of like filters out. And because I plan on doing this Monday through Friday, it will be an exercise for you. Now, if you are already profitable, if you're already profitable, whether you're using my concepts or a derivative of them, or you're doing something entirely different, it's probably better that you don't watch the live stream. Just do what you normally do because I'm probably going to distract you, or I'll be a perfect excuse for you. If you take a losing trade, you'll say, "ICT called me to lose money," and you won't take responsibility, and you need to be responsible. Okay? Um, the things I'm going to touch on is obviously, you know, where your mind should be every day sitting down in front of the charts. You have to have some reason to be in the charts doing it. So that's the reason why I started the the stream at around 8:00. I know it was like seven minutes late, but you're not my employer, so I can punch in late if I want, and I can go home early if I want. So I want to talk a little bit about that. Ahead of 8:30, we have a heavy news driver, the ISM PMI number. At 10:00, I'll be with you until probably like quarter after 10:00, okay? But, uh, this mentorship, at least the first lecture here, is probably going to be a little annoying for some of you that just want to get out here and start pushing buttons. But I promise you, if you don't want to sit through this live, come back to it when you have time to do it before you watch tomorrow's live stream, okay? Because otherwise, you'll miss the whole importance of what it is that you should be doing before you sit down, whether you're watching my live stream, someone else's live stream, or you're doing your own model, you're in trade, okay?

And that's fine, but I'm not here to do those types of things. I'm not here to brag. I'm not here to post. And yes, I'm going to win the Robin's Cup. Stop sending me emails, okay? Just, I got plenty of time for that. Don
able to walk out there and say this is what I see potentially unfolding in the marketplace today. So I'm going to build an idea on how the market may, in fact, set this up. And if I understand that this is where it's likely to go. Now, what I mean by that is, where's the draw and liquidity? Where's the market likely to go? You know, what are we looking for in terms of potential expectations and where the market could trade to? And that could be something like this. We go to, we have relative equal highs right here, okay? Very simple, smooth price level. The market's gone down a lot, several thousand handles, okay? We had a huge gap, new week opening gap here. So where we settled on Friday and where we opened on Sunday at six o'clock last night, Eastern Time in the States, that new week opening gap, that's a draw on liquidity. But we don't need it to trade all the way up to there. So where is the low-hanging fruit objectives for just short-term bias? This is what I'm teaching you, Caleb. Initially, I want you to think about where the market could draw to right now, where it could go to next. And what that does is it gives you something to focus on. And it also gives you a way of measuring every individual candle's formation and what your expectation is as it's forming, and what the next candles should do, and how they behave, and what it feels like for you when you do this. Because whether you want to admit it or not, when you're first starting, the majority of your time is going to be spent in uncertainty, in times of confusion. It's going to be fearful. It's going to be, well, it's going to feel very anxious. You, you'll feel anxious. You may even start feeling body symptoms of tingling, lightheadedness, feel like you're going to get sick. And you may still only be in a demo. Because what you're doing is you're elevating the outcome to a level that is not expected. You don't need to put that much pressure on you. In fact, if that's how you're thinking, it's normal for you to feel that when you first start trading with a real account. That's a normal thing. But there's no way around it. There's no way around that first trade with real money. That fear, that anxiety, is something you just have to, you have to engage it. And that's why I say, as soon as you get a live account, first thing you should do is flip a quarter. Lowest leverage. If it's tails, you buy it. If it's heads, you sell short, or vice versa. You do the smallest and put a 15-point stop on it and just let it happen to you and get it, break the ice, and let it go. But see, a lot of you, if not all of you, you, you want your first trade to be a winner because you think it's a, a jinx. Okay? It's somehow an invitation for failure if your first trade with your real account loses money. Like that somehow defines your entire career. It doesn't. It's just one transaction. But the way you overcome that is spending time without pushing a button, studying where price can go. And that's this. We have the short-term high here, post 8:30, meaning after we had 8:30 right here, we have 8:36. So the market went below these relative equal lows. So any liquidity below that, they disrupted that and then took it above this short-term high, took it above this short-term high and traded right inside this fair value gap. Got right there. So when you're watching price, Caleb, you're looking for how the market maneuvers and trades in books between obvious price levels with old highs, old lows, and inefficiencies. There are the only two things you're worried about. You're not trying to predict a direction on the day. You're not trying to be right about 50 handle runs. You're just studying, observing. Okay, this down close candle here, after taking out the liquidity, and then we have displacement here. Displacement is where the market runs against a pre-session, pre-day, pre-trend, or price swing direction. It's a counter move to what's already been in play. So the market has dropped here, and then we moved aggressively above the short-term high. This high being traded above there, we go back down to this down close candle. That down close candle is an order block. We have displacement. It took liquidity, and the market has been one directional. Now, what makes that order block specifically is it is has happened post 8:30. Now, it could have formed right at 8:30 because 8:30, the algorithm will start spooling for liquidity or inefficiencies, one or the other. Now, in the beginning, you're going to want to know, you're probably asking right now, can you just tell us what is it going to reach for? Is it going to go for an old high or old low, or is it going to go for a fair value gap above or below both? It's going to go for both. Does that complicate it? No. Now, to further strip away the, you're adding to it right now, you're bringing all these things. But what if the co? I didn't say anything about a coot. Yeah, but what happens if the? Did I say anything about those things that you're thinking right now? No. They're not important. The only thing we're doing is we're sitting down at a time, a time when the market is predisposed. That means it's most likely going to do this. And it will do it unless some unexpected event where manual intervention steps in, and you don't know, and I don't know when that's going to happen. What does it look like when the market just starts going and it starts going one direction and it doesn't stop? It doesn't go up a little bit, come back a little bit, up a little bit, come back a little bit. That's, that's market standard delivery. Intervention is think like FOMC, think like CPI, think like Non-Farm Payroll, where if you're wrong, if you're offside right when it hits the market, you're dead. That's what manual intervention looks like. There are many times untradeable. It, it takes off so fast, you, you reasonably, no, not reasonable, you're, you're it's unreasonable for you to assume that you can trade that once it starts because you're literally chasing the wind and you're never going to catch it. You're just going to frustrate yourself and get placed very poorly, and you're going to be in a trade that's going to be highly anxious and stressful. And that's not trading, that's gambling. Okay? So when we look at individuals, sit up, setups like this, you want to sit down in front of the marketplace right before 8:30, okay? Preferably 8:00. And you want to look at where the highs and the lows are in in defense to the one-minute chart in a 15-minute time. So I'm going to change this chart over to 15. So here's what 15-minute looks like here. And if you look at where we came from, see this high at 7 o'clock in the morning? That's this high right there. See it on the right chart? So this chart, this larger chart here, is the one-minute, and this is the 15-minute time. 15, five, one-minute, those are your first three time frames to worry about. Okay? I shouldn't say worried, because it's kind of us subconscious concern that you need to worry about it. You don't need to worry about it. But the levels and inefficiencies on the 15-minute time frame, the five-minute time frame, and the one-minute time frame, if you're brand new, you don't know how to trade ICT, you don't have to trade price action, you don't have to trade period. Okay? You don't need any other time frame. Okay? You don't need anything else. You don't need a daily chart. You don't need an hourly chart. You don't need a 31-minute chart. You don't need a 17-minute chart. You don't need a 15-second chart. You don't need anything below a one-minute chart. You don't need anything else to do what I'm going to teach you. Okay? This is what you're doing. You're studying price at specific times of the day. If you're not writing this part down, you're blowing it already. So between 8:00 and 8:30 in the morning, New York local time, or Eastern Standard Time in the US, everything I mentioned in terms of time, if it's the time that matches New York local time. So set a clock. If you have your smartphone, there's a way that you can pull up world time and put one in there for New York, and you'll always know what time ICT is saying to look for these things to happen because they're never going to not be there. Write that down again, okay? And underline it. This is always, absolutely without fail, it's never not going to do it. It's always, every single effing day, it's going to do this very thing. It's going to do it. It's going to absolutely do it because there is an algorithm, and it does this to spur on emotional interest or tangible orders that are actually sitting out there, real orders that are sitting above and below or inside of inefficiencies where the market needs to offer fair value to the marketplace. So what is it reaching for? It's reaching for old highs, old lows, and inefficiencies. That's the fair value gap, C-V-G, that thing. So once we know that the market is likely to do these things, that's a characteristic. It's an algorithmic characteristic. You don't need anything else besides this element as the foundation to what you're trying to trade, and you can make all the money you'd ever want. I'm going to say that again, in case you missed it. You're trying to find right now, you want the daily bias, and you want to be able to buy below the open and hold for the whole entire day. But are you really doing those things when you try to trade? No. As soon as you get 10 handles or 10 pips, or whatever, you, you start struggling with holding on to the trade. You're paranoid that that winning trade you just found out just fell into your lap. Oh my goodness, this, I'm winning, this is something new. I need to secure this. But then you're, you're thinking, oh, wait a minute, I'm supposed to be holding for the daily range. And now you're wrestling. And that becomes a real hard wrestling match, doesn't it? Makes you feel nauseous. And if anybody tries to talk to you, even if they love you, your spouse, your girlfriend, your boyfriend, your child, your dog comes over, nuzzles up next to you, any other time you're like, oh, this time, get away from me. Can't you see I'm trying to worry about this 10-pip handle move? The weight of the world is on my shoulders right now, and you're coming at me with this. You know what it means? You're stressing out. Why? Why would you have that response? Folks listening to headphones like, oh man, this guy, you're awake now, aren't you? But that's the reality. That's what it's like. And you'll feel it. If you've never been there, you'll feel it. But the reason why you feel that is because you don't know what you're doing. You haven't done this part long enough where you're completely desensitized to, okay, I'm doing this exercise to get comfortable with anticipating price moves. I'm getting comfortable with not knowing what it's going to do next candle, this candle, five candles from now. But I think it's going to draw to specific price levels. So if it clears that short-term low we talked about, what's it going to reach into? We have this inefficiency here. How long does it take to do that? And then you record, you screenshot this, and you say, okay, well, it took one, two, three, four, five, six candles from this volume imbalance to run above this short-term high and get into this C, which is a sell-side imbalance, buy-side inefficiency, a fair value gap that has a down close is a C-I-V. Okay? A fair value gap that has an up close is a B-I-S-I, buy-sell inefficiency. So what you're doing is you're measuring because you have zero baseline experience. You have no continuity and what is you're reaching for, looking for in price action. And you study how long it took and you record that. Many, this many minutes. And you also are honestly going to record in your journal within the screenshot, like, like maybe over here or somewhere over here, you're going to record what it felt for you physically. Were you anxious? Did you second-guess that it was going to run there? Did you feel excited the entire time? Were you impatient that you thought it should have moved there sooner and faster? Did certain candle formations cause you to doubt it? Did you have a point at which you thought that this was given another opportunity to trade to or not trade to, but offer another entry? Like say, for instance, if you want to pyramid. Pyramiding should not be part of your repertoire yet. That's something that you need to be doing maybe a year after trading with one contract. Oh, come on. You want to learn how to do it correctly? This is the way you do it. There's all kinds of time and opportunity for pyramided trades. But you first have to get good at trading with one micro contract. One micro contract. Because what that does is it removes, hopefully, this is the only thing you can do to to fend off the greed and fear. You can't blow the account if you trade with one micro and you only take one trade a day. You, there, it's physically impossible for you to go out there on day one and blow the account. See, that's what your subconscious is fearful of. I don't want to blow the account. I don't want to have a big losing trade. I don't want to go into big drawdown. Okay, that's easy. Don't over leverage your account and don't take more than one trade a day. But ICT, but ICT, nothing. If you want to be able to do it correctly, you have to do things with a process. There has to be a logic behind it. There has to be some measure of rule-based thinking, and then you have to adhere to that. If you don't want to adhere to rules, I promise you, you're going to lose. You're going to fail, and you're going to blame me. You're going to blame everybody else. You're going to blame the, the prop firm. You're going to blame the brokerage firm. You're going to blame everything but you. I knew this because I did the same thing as a 20-year-old. I did the same thing. Numerous times, I have students that repeat the same thing. They've sent me hate mail years ago. Oh, you, you didn't teach me right. This, blah, blah, blah. And then later on, they went through it properly, and then they send me emails apologizing. It was, it was a mistake on my part, ICT. I didn't listen. I went back and relistened to it all, and I made all the mistakes you said I was going to make if I didn't listen and just plunged ahead and did what I wanted to do. Now I did it the right way. I listened to what you were expecting in terms of a properly mindset student that follows the rules and accepts the, the diversities. Initially, they're normal. They're all normal growing pains. But see, you're trying to be the exception. You don't want it to happen to you. You think it's going to be candy bars and milkshakes and just everything sweet and lovely, and butterflies are going to come land on your hand and everything by God. No, no, no, no, no, no. As soon as you push the button, you're asking the shark to take a leg off. You're asking that lion to take your face off. You're inviting it. That's what it is. As soon as you enter these markets, you've entered the jungle. You've entered the deep waters. And honey, everybody's hungry. And if you offer it up on a silver platter, they're going to take it and eat it. And you can't be upset about it. That's the, that's the, that's the, the currency here, yours or mine. Mine or yours. That's it. It doesn't matter how anybody else trades. It's, are you liquidity right now? Are you liquidity? Because if you're liquidity, you're lunch. I go in and I'm looking for lunch. I'm looking for the liquidity. I'm looking for reasons why the market will trade to this level, why it could potentially trade to this level. But I don't need it to trade. For instance, this is the draw on liquidity. Draw on liquidity is just an initial reasonable assumption on our part to determine a directional move that could unfold. It does not mean and it does not define the absolute terminus to a price run for the be all end all target. In in planer terms, the market's probably going to keep moving until it gets to this level. It doesn't mean that it can't have retracements lower. It doesn't mean that it can't make a lower low than it's done here. Highly unlikely, but it's still an initial idea. So when you're first trying to learn how to read these markets and you're first trying to determine where the market's likely to go, you have to strip away everything that you're trying to force into reading every single individual candlestick. And if you watch a lot of my videos or if you have a lot of notes or you've dabbled in things, chances are you probably already have a pet technique that you want to be yours, and you may not even be good at using it yet, but you just want it because it has a cool name, like a Reaper fair value de, you know, I talk that to my PR mentorship, they're like, uh, oh man, that's gonna be my thing. That's gonna that's gonna be it for me, you know? Or Event Horizon, which is the midpoint between two, uh, two new week opening gaps or new day opening gaps. And because of the names, okay, these names are meaningful to me. They're, they're not meant to inspire you to want to do them over another. It's just that's, that's what I name. I got 81 of these things. So it's a way for me to keep track of what its purpose was, and or it kind of puts a little stamp of when I discovered it and something had an impact on me and it was a cool name or inspiration to it. So when we're looking at price, as you as a brand new student, not knowing what to do, do you want to make this kind of like a game and a, a discovery, something fun? Not a video game, okay? But it's a game of determining, does it have what it takes to move to these highs here? A way of saying it to yourself that's very disarming is, okay, I see how this is smooth. These two highs are relatively equal. That looks like a real nice obvious flat space in price. We don't see that same flatness down here, you see that? So in other words, if you had a shark, know, if you had two sharks rather, you have two sharks in front of you. One has had its teeth removed. Well, that would be represented something like this. This is the shark with no teeth. It's basically the guns. Okay? There's no teeth there. Down here, there has been a shark attack. How do we know that? Because we can see the wounds from the teeth, the jaggedness, the jaggedness, the jaggedness. And now it's going to another fre to another frenzy or feeding. Where is that? Well, we, we've just created one. We have this high here that's really close to this one, you see that? So you observe price action and you're looking for areas that look real smooth and safe where they say peace and safety, sudden destruction comes upon them. Any time that you're looking at price action, and it doesn't matter what time frame you're looking at, okay? If you're looking at it through the lens of a second chart, sub-sub-one minute, or a weekly chart, or a monthly chart, or a quarterly chart, where it's three months of data compressed into to make the candlesticks, it does not matter. This principle is always true. The market will go to an area of smoothness for the purpose of disrupting any orders that would be resting above or below it. We've already mentioned down here. Now, don't be discouraged if you can't watch this stuff real-time and see it or outline in advance. It's okay for you to come home from work and look at your, your, your charts after the fact and go back and look at this and study it as if you have obviously the benefit of hindsight, initially. But you don't want to stay in that very long. So you're going to have to prepare yourself some instruments that allow you to watch price action, not with market replay. Look, I am not a fan of market replay. I absolutely loathe it. I hate it. I can't stand it. And I wish it wasn't available. That's that. I wish it wasn't even available to anyone else because it's a crutch that allows frauds to be able to sound like they're smart and teach something because it's already happened. If you can do it over live price action, not just once in a while, but continuously, and your audience or or viewership can see this, then you have earned the right to have a voice. And then people should have no problems sitting and listening to you lecture and talk about what you think's likely to occur because you have a sound basis or foundation to what, what it is that you're talking about. Therefore, because you have a track of of being able to talk about before it happens, it removes the anxiety that is reasonable for everyone to have when they first sit found this. But when you, as the student, and you don't have the ability to watch it live because you have a job, or maybe you're in university, or you sleep, like you have to sleep, right? And your place in the world and your general geographic location may not be conducive for you to trade at 8:30 in the morning, New York local time, you may have to trade in the London session. And yes, Virginia, I will be up during the London session doing one of these or two of these lectures in a week or two, okay? So we're not, we're not focusing on one specific time of day. And I'll come back to that section where I'll write down the times of day. But when we're looking at initially, you don't have to see this real-time to get a collection of screenshots for your journal. But if you don't do this and journal and screenshot and annotate your chart and study how long price runs took place, how many candles did it take to move there? Was there any kind of formation in the price delivery that would have caused you to not trust it unfolding? Now, that's going to be very hard for you to do because initially, especially the men, they're always going to say, no, I would have never second-guessed it. It would have been easy for me to hold on to that. And these same people, when they get into a trade, if they ever were to do it in front of you, they don't have any conviction, and they're going to up and bail out on the trade. Okay, I gotta get out. This, I can't stand the pressure. It's moved five handles, but they call 30 handles or 50 handles above or below, and they get out at five handles because the pressure of it not doing what they expected to do and in realizing a loss in front of someone, that's a lot more pressure for them, and they don't want to have that. So what's more important? Their image, or them following a model that they have seen works and have trusted and did the back testing, and they have the data behind it? Their image. And that's not someone you should learn from, okay? I'm just tossing that out. So what we're looking for, always the first thing that you're looking, looking for, Caleb, is where is the market smooth on the 15, the five, and the one-minute chart? Is that complicated? Nope. It's not complicated at all. It's real simple. What does it look like to be smooth? Well, when you have price levels that create highs like this swing high here, and this swing high here, they're real close to one another, see that? When you're looking for relative equal highs, here's your secret weapon for it, okay? How do you know it's a high probability relative equal high that's likely to get swept or traded through? How, how do you know that, ICT? What differentiates that from any other? Okay, it's this. If you have two swing highs, if the one to the left is slightly higher than the right, you have a very, very high probability that they're going to want to take it above there, just like you see here. We have a high, and then the swing here happens to be just a little bit lower than that. Here's what's going on. This is called priming, okay? Priming is where you continuously create, inspire, or manipulate the expectations of a large number of investors, and they think, oh, it's going to go through that high. But then there's a lot of folks that don't want to see it go there because they went short. So when the, the market goes up here and stops and turns down, what that does is it creates a sympathetic side. The shorts are relaxing. If the shorts are relaxing, what are they saying? They're saying that this is now what resistance. So anyone that takes a new short position, where are they going to think that the safest place to put their stop loss is going to be right above these highs? Why can we trust that they're likely to take that relative equal high out? Not that will that session that you're trading, but it's high probability that this will be swept when the second, or the one to the right, that swing high is lower than the one to the left. That frames these two as relatively equal, okay? Same thing is occurring here. We have this high here, this high here, this one being slightly lower than that one. So when the market went out like this, and we had this drop down, what that causes is a sympathetic side. What is that causing people? Anyone that went short here, they feel like, okay, that's scary because it almost went that high where their stop loss would be if they're trying to go short in this area, see that? So what do you think it looks like when we have relative equal lows? What would be a high probability relative equal low that the market is likely to draw down and go below it? It would be a low that has a slightly higher low. In common terms, it's you refer as a failure swing, okay? So a failure swing. Now, a lot of people say, oh, see, he's just reinventing. No, see what you, you're trying to trade that. That's what a failure swing is. You're trying to trade that long or short on that second pass that doesn't take out the low or take out a previous high. That's selling short of a fairy swing. Okay? What I'm teaching you is is how to identify in price action where the algorithm will refer back to and why. What are the, what are the central tenants as to what the algorithm is referring to at a specific time of day? Most important. And then it refers back to these because, okay, it sees this high based on time, and then the higher high prior to that one is here. So it's very simple for the algorithm to call that information as an array and say, okay, this high was at this time, and this high was higher than prior to it, and they're in close proximity. What's the filter? I'm not going to tell you that. But it's not very much in terms of difference between the price. And when you have that element, the market will invariably start marching back to those levels. It does not matter. It, abs, listen, listen, folks, it does not matter how many buyers are buying the market to go up there, and how many short sellers. Okay, the proof of it is, is just look at a depth of market. Look at a ladder, okay? A DOM, not a dome, okay? I'm so tired of hearing people. It's not a dome. Do you see an E at the end of that? It's D-O-M. It's a DOM, okay? Depth of market. Look at those orders. There's no imbalances there. There's no imbalances. There's just as many short orders below the market as there as above. But yet the market will still march and march and march and march and go to the beat of the drum that I tell you it does. It reaches to these levels because it's coded to do this. And if you do this for a couple weeks, you're going to see, oh, wow, yeah, this, this, this feels artificial. It feels like it's it's designed to do these type of things because they tend to repeat every single day at specific times of the day. It will do this. Nobody, go back to the times element. Every day between 8 o'clock in the morning, this is all always New York local time, okay? So it's very important you remember that. We have new people coming all the time, and they'll say, I looked at this chart here, and you told me, yeah, but you're looking at it in Bangladesh time, okay? I don't live in Bangladesh. I'm in the East Coast of the United States, and the algorithm is on New York local time. I don't care what anybody else tells you, okay? That's what it's on, period, end the story. You can wrestle with it if you want, but that's just the way it is. Between 8:00 and 8:30 in the morning, you want to sit down and determine where are the smooth locations in price action on the 15-minute, the five-minute, and the one-minute? Okay? And we've had the 15-minute on, go down to a five. So right away, you can see that this high here is relative to that one, and this one here also with that, this one being slightly higher than that one. So there's a lot of liquidity that's sitting at 17820.75. Now, real important, it does not mean that it has to happen during that session. It does not mean that. And that is the underlying risk that you assume every single time you take a trade. You're looking for things that are going to stack the odds of probability in your favor. It does not mean it's an absolute guaranteed outcome. See, I have students that literally take the time and waste their time and writing me an email sometimes. They're like novels or novelas, and usually it's like three paragraphs of congratulating me and and worship and whatever. And I don't like that. Usually when I get that kind of stuff, I immediately, this, it's push the email away. I don't want you looking up to me. I don't want you worshiping me. I'm not the greatest of all time. I'm not the GOAT. I'm not none of those things. I'm just a guy that has a whole bunch of information and experience, and I want to share it with you, and I want to see what you do with it. But these individuals will say, you know, I need you to tell me how to, uh, make sure that I don't have this wrong. I only want to take this P. So how do I avoid taking losing trades with an inversion fair value gap or a mitigation block or the breaker? How do I know if it's a breaker or if it's a shift in market structure? Well, that's easy. Uh, you have to have a higher time frame premise and the directional draw where the market's going to go. And if you think it's going to go higher, um, when you see the market creating a short-term term, um, well, I'll give you an example here. We have the relative equal lows here, and the market drops, you see that? So this drop down here, every up close candle on this time frame, all this right here, that is your breaker. The most sensitive candle or range is going to be the last up close candle. Look at like this, that's this range low, and see where the body stopped right there. We wick through it. I'm not denying that. But the damage is always done by the, and the range high there, that is your bullish breaker. But the range here from that up close candle that starts all these consecutive up close candles, all of that is technically the bullish breaker. Though the most sensitivity is going to be seen in that last up close candle. That is not supplying to man. That's not that's not supplying to man zone. Sam Sidon would never, ever, ever refer to what I just said. Never. He would never consider that anyway, because we're cutting through candles because we're looking at what an algorithm is doing, not some floor trader ticket runner's perception of something that doesn't really exist. So the turn here at the bodies, that tells you what? Tells you the narrative. So what is it going to do? It's going to go higher. Okay? So what at that time would you focus on? Well, you have the short-term high here, the inefficiency that's traded to there. We want to see it trade above it and then act as what support, which would be a what inversion OFA to do that. What would it reach for next? This high and this inefficiency. Does it do that? Yes. What are the bodies doing? Stopping just at that same level here. And more specifically, and my eyes didn't notice this when I put it up here, you see that little separation? That's a volume imbalance. Go back and listen to the other lectures. You have to include that volume imbalance when you have clear that got whether can this your city, you can see the bodies being encapsulated by that, and now the market trades back up into that. The bodies, I'm sorry, the bodies candlesticks are trading inside efficiency. It wicks above it, but look where the bodies are stopping, and look where the bodies are over here. Where's liquidity at below here? Nothing in here. This is all very balanced price delivery because it's back and forth. Every other candle is overlapping the highest high and the lowest low pre-clear, pretty much kind of like coloring it, very, very, very good back and forth. All this price action is back and forth versus then we have all these runs where we have separations in here, back down into that breaker there. This response right here to what it's just done there, that expectation and response in how price can react to levels like that, that's a nice little scalp right there. I mean, look at it. It moved from 55 to what? 59.6. That's a good run. You can't get 20 handles out of that on a 15-second chart. You can if you know what you're looking for. Now, also notice we've created again, high, lower high, high, lower high, but real close to one another. When did it form? Prior to 9:30. So we have 8 to 8:30, and then you study 9 to 9:30 because it's going to do what? It's going to look and seek the liquidity or inefficiencies. So here's 9:30, there forming on the bullish breaker. It trades down, and then we have relative equal highs here. I don't like to usually do this, but I have to do it for the sake of discussion. So we have these relative equal highs, this high and that high, relative equal high, and we have this area up here. So if the market's going to do what? If it's going to make a punishing move towards the shorts that want to see it drop because the market has dropped early on, 7 o'clock in the morning, okay? And we have all these very clean levels. What did we just do here? We have a low. It was traded down into it, disrupted this little area in here. So it's made this area jagged. Remember I was saying earlier where the market's real smooth over here versus what it was doing down here? Where has the work been done? Meaning, if there is a group of traders that are very cannibalistic and they tend to be more correct than wrong, or if they are the ones that generally make the money more consistently than the ones that don't. In other words, think of like the World Series of Poker, okay? If you ever watched that, it's really fascinating to see how the long-term players that always find themselves at the final table, they may not win, but they always find their way at the final table. That's experience and that skill. Well, you can see those things in price action. They're like fingerprints, okay? You can see when the cannibals come in and they devour the piggies, they go in there and just chew them all up, and it's where the market has made jagged price delivery. Always. It's always like this, folks. It's never not going to be hidden from you, okay? It's always plain sight. But see, you're so enamored by animal patterns, harmonic patterns, gimmicky named supposed retail indicators. Everybody's got a new indicator. I got one for you that's going to beat all of them. If the open, high, low, and close, and the clock, how about that? How about that? Catch me outside. How about that? Okay? It's simple. And all of you complain, not all, but just the ass hats there, oh, this is complicated, this is convoluted. So and so teaches this so much better. Okay, I don't see so and so doing anything. I don't see so and so doing anything but using market replay and trying to convince himself everything he says after he says it. So we had these relative equal highs swept here, see that? A study bullish breaker two there. So how many candles did it take to do that? You screenshot it. How many, how many handles did it run from the low to that relative equal high being taken out? And once it does that, keep the chart active with it on there, but then just make it very, very light. Not that light, make it light so that you can still see it, but have all of your focus. So that way allows you to focus on the fair value gap here. You trade it down into mid-gap, which is this wick here. Since price is above it, that makes it a discount array, consequent encroachment of that trades to it. We want to see it run above this. Some of you that are trying to learn how to do this are having a blast with this because not only am I, you get things to talk about in your own journal of focus, but you're also seeing things unfold over a live chart, and you're watching on your live chart, okay? So this is not market replay. It's not delayed data, okay? It's not after the fact talking narrative over a chart. Everything that these ass hats leave comments on in my YouTube comment section, you can't see what I see and didn't use it. There's the relative equal highs there too. So now, same thing here. You want to mute that in terms of its importance, and now you want to see, does it have the wherewithal to run aggressively for that 17,820.75? Any of this seem complicated to you? It shouldn't. I already know what you're thinking, and some of you said that loud, yes, because you're saying it when you talk about it, it's so obvious when you talk about it when it's happening. I can see it when you point it out. I just can't point it out when I'm doing, right? You're just learning it. You expect to be able to go out there right now. If I turn this live stream off, and you're just going to just know how to do it right away because you watched them disclose one or two things in one element in the marketplace, now you're suddenly going to know how to do it. Nobody can reason to expect to do that. You're placing too much emphasis on being fast. I gotta learn how to do it right now because the market's going to stop working next week, next year. I thought the algorithm was supposed to stop working this year. Whatever. Get out of here. Get out of here. The batteries don't run dead on this, okay? When the markets are dead, then I won't work anymore, okay? But the point is this, the very, very first thing you're doing as an undeveloped, unrefined trader, someone like my son, Caleb, okay? Don't be offended by that, son. Is what's called you worse things. The idea is that you're looking for the smooth areas where the price is so obviously being defended and being presented and being offered for retail-minded trades. I don't look at charts. I absolutely don't look at charts and think of what retail pattern here I can use to get in sync with a price run. Look at that beautiful delivery, right? That volume balance there, which is inside and encapsulated in that S-I-V. Went right to the high of that. Now, when you're looking at price, looking for the obvious, very, very, very smooth relative equal highs or relative equal lows, how do you know which one they're going to go to? How do they know? Well, I'm sorry, how do you know? How can you trust? How do you determine which side of the marketplace it's going to reach for? Because what this is going to do, it gives you the initial building blocks to understanding bias. Oh, you didn't realize we were going there, did you? You didn't realize with all this jaw-boning, and half of you quit watching because I was talking about things that wasn't interesting, but they're coming back to the channel now, or later on they'll say, damn, it went. It went right to where he said it was going to go. It did exactly what he said it was going to do again and again. And it's going to do it tomorrow, and it's going to do it Wednesday, and it's going to do it Friday, and it's going to do it next week, and it's going to do it every freaking week that I want to stay out here and do it live, okay? That's just the way it works around here. That's the way it is because I understand what this thing's doing. And then you want to screenshot that, okay? So when you're looking at price action, you want to be able to determine what in this whole scheme of price delivery does it do in terms of resonating with you? Where would you feel confident? This is the part that a lot of my students skip over. They don't do any work with this part of it. They ignore it. They assume that it has no bearing on them. It doesn't have any basis or placement in them, okay? Because they want some kind of gimmicky little one, two, three, get me in the trade. Where's my stop supposed to be? I only want a one-handle stop loss. Like ICT, I want to be able to do everything perfect right from step one. I don't want to have any adversities. That's not realistic because you're going to have a whole lot of adversities, and you have to invite that, be comfortable with it, because that's where it's going to highlight your shortcomings and your understanding, and it's going to also teach you how to overcome it. Because once you identify what you're having an issue with, wouldn't you want to know what your problems are in your relationship? Like if you, if you were married to a new, new spouse, and you genuinely love them, but they haven't been forthright in telling you what your character flaws are that really get under their skin because they don't want to offend you, because they don't want to hurt your feelings. But wouldn't you want them sincerely? Wouldn't you want them to tell you in a way that doesn't hurt you, that doesn't jar you or make you feel offended that you want to go run to the bar and cheat on them? You would love for them to say, hey, um, I love you. I sincerely, sincerely care about you. I, I want us to be together. And that romance is what you want with the marketplace. You want the market to open its arms and invite you into an embrace and feel its bosom against yours, and that tenderness and that love, that acceptance, that I've always been waiting for you, and you're finally with me, and I'm never going to let you go, honey. I'm never going to let you go. See, that's what you want. You want that romance. But really, what this is, this is a dysfunctional element of family. And what it does is it says, listen, my husband's away, come on over. The bed's open, and you want to go there and romp around, okay? And find a spouse out of that type of thing. And you wonder why you end up with STDs or a broken home? That's the way it works. But see, you think it's a love story. It's a romance. It's not. It's a toxic relationship. And one person in this relationship has to be able to be reasonable. And at some point, the person that's reasonable has to say, you know what? This isn't healthy for me anymore. So that means I have to turn the charts off. I need to stop following this market on this time frame right now because it's not healthy. But you can't arrive at that until you do rule-based ideas and
You break things down modular, very simplistic. Nothing I did today, nothing is complex. I outlined every single thing. Go back and watch the live stream. Every single thing was in advance and shown to you on a one-minute chart. This would be further amplified if I was shown it to you on a 15-second chart. If you have the capabilities, I'm not saying you have to, but if you have the ability to look at a 15-second chart, study every level I've outlined here and the logic of why it was going to draw up into that 17,820.75 level. I gave you the bias before we really essentially started there.
I explained to you very, very bland commentary. Almost boring, really. It didn't seem scientific. I used analogies that I thought were very simplistic. You know, when we're looking at areas that are very smooth, contrast this area up here, how that was very, very smooth. And these, remember these levels over here show you this one in addition. If you weren't looking at that, that's the benefit of looking at three time frames. Because if you can frame an idea of why the market's likely to draw to a high or low or inefficiency that is completely visible on three time frames, that means you have three time frames telling you, "Hey, pay attention to me." And if that time frame or those time frames are in agreement with a relative equal high or an inefficiency above the marketplace, that means like something like this right here, or this right here, or this right here. They're all stepping stones. Notice that they're all stepping stones inside the context, in the overall, sorry, overall narrative that the market was going to go here.
When I first started the live session, what, what's the first line I dropped on the chart? This one. It was based on these two highs here. That's all it was. Why did I pick this, this high? Yes, he got my question finally. I've been sitting here the whole time you're talking. Why'd you pick that high? What's the first thing I told you? The algorithm is going to go based on time. I don't care what Mickey Mouse pattern, with Mickey Mouse logic, some Romper Room theory that just got pulled out of somebody's backside because they want to sell some attention for clicks and views and mentorships. Unless it stems on the basis of time first, it has to be the right time. If it's not the right time of day, it is absolutely not going to work. Period. End the story.
Put anybody as the mentor, anybody as the trader, I don't give a [ __ ]. I tried real hard. I almost got through it. I almost got through it. Put anybody you want in that list, whatever they trade, however they trade, it does not work. It will fail. Stick with it long enough, you'll see it will fail. More times than it... But why and how is it that every single time I'm sitting down with you, whether it be on a Twitter space where I was calling out the candlesticks individually before they happen, or on a live stream where I'm giving you the logic, explaining to you why it should do it, okay, and then it just simply does it? How's that possible? No ego. Seriously, let's, let's put it aside. I'm not trying, I'm not trying to beat my chest here. I really want you, especially if you're a first-time viewer here, or maybe you come back, this is your second time watching my live stream because you expected me to do something silly today. How is it, how is it that the market does exactly what I'm saying it's going to do? You ever think about that? How is it possible that one single person can get it right so often in front of thousands of people where many of them are hoping and praying, "Please, please God, let him get it right. I got to go on Twitter and brag about how you messed up today. I got to make a video exposing ICT. I need grocery bill [Music] money." You're so fun to manipulate, all you haters.
But 7 o'clock is a very key time that starts what? The morning session. It matters not that we're trading Forex or Futures. The morning session, AM session, starts at 7 o'clock in the morning, New York time, okay? So you can have a model that says, "I can't be in front of the charts between 8:00 and 8:30," and maybe you can't even trade the 9:30 opening bell for indices because you have to get ready for work, okay? But it just so happens that the time elements in your personal life and geographic location in the world that it allows you and affords you to look at the market between 7:00 and say, 7:45. Worst case scenario, 7:30. If you're going to work with smaller time frames, you absolutely can use 7:00 to 7:30 as a model to do this very exercise. Same thing. So your key times are this: 7 o'clock in the morning to 7:30. In that 30-minute window, you're going to look for relative equal highs and relative equal lows that have happened prior to 7 o'clock, okay? And you're going to be looking through the time frames of the one-minute chart, the five-minute chart, and the 15-minute time. Now, Caleb, you're not expected to do anything else beyond that until I change the depth of what your focus should be. Right now, you're just having three charts up. Since the 15-minute time frame is pretty, pretty static, you only need to refer to it once in the morning. And then your second chart could be the five-minute chart. That's what it is.
But then what you're doing is, is you're watching between 7 o'clock and 7:30, or 8:00 to 8:30, or 9:00 to 9:30 opening bell. You're looking for where is the market smooth? Smooth? Because still waters invite rocks. Think about that. Remember being a kid walking? When you see a pond, it's real smooth. Wow, look at that. It was like a mirror. You can see the sky's reflection off of it. So smooth. What's the first thing you jumped in your head? I need a rock. For what? Because you can't accept that our sinful nature says we have to disrupt that. So you pick up a rock and you want to throw it out there. Why? What's it going to do? It's going to cause ripples. That's exactly why a weak character individual in a relationship will have a beautiful relationship, a wonderful relationship, something smooth, ain't no drama, no reason for ruckus. And what they got to do? They go out there and you chase some, go to the bar and pick up some floozy or some silver-tongued box that says all the right things for her. And you invite that destruction. Well, that's what the market does, folks. It's a dysfunctional family environment. And you have to be the one that says, "Not today, Satan. Not today. Not today. I know your tricks. I know your snares. I know how you're going to do it." Okay?
So what's the market going to do? Every single session in the morning, you have three opportunities. And you don't have to trade in the afternoon. You don't have to trade the London session. You have three opportunities in the morning to set the stage for a run that will build. If you don't have any understanding about bias, okay? If you don't know what direction the market's going to move in, when I go into other people's live streams and I say, "Note this, note that, here's the secret I just gave to you." What I do every single time I go into, uh, Tja Trades when Patrick will had balls and let me into his live streams and chat, he won't do that now because he's gonna be pay me $500,000 this year. Um, the whole business of anyone else I talked to, trades by Matt for a month, told him what I was going to do, what I was looking for in private text, and he can show, I gave him permission, he can show you what I was expecting. And he watched me do this for almost a month. And I got two or three of them wrong, but most of them were like, and guess what I was doing, folks? But I just taught you here. Tom Hugard, not as much as I shared with Ch, my that, but in certain instances, I shared him, this is what I'm looking for, this level. So it's not like I'm not afraid to share this. I, I've put what I think is going to happen in the witness of other people. And they can come out and say, "Yeah, this guy don't know some's talking." And they're not telling me that I'm invited them. Prove the world that I didn't do that. I like certain people in this industry. And the ones I like, I converse with. I share and I engage with. And when I go into other people's live streams and I'm helping promote them, uh, sometimes I'll go out and I'll point to something and I'll say, "Watch this level." When I was on Twitter, watch, not this level, I was doing this. And my private mentorship never learned this. I never sat down with them. Never told him that this is a secret weapon. It's a, it's a bazooka when a BB gun's necessary. When all you need is a match, this is a flamethrower. It's, it's, it's the thing that makes every playing field even. They cannot hide it from you. They cannot hide it from you. You're never not going to be able to see it. It's always there. And in plain terms, it's this: if you can contrast one side of the marketplace against another, let me, let me do this in this little area down here, okay? In a small little open section, I'm going to say this. I'm going to close it. Somewhere be with my wife. And I hope you haven't. If you take this a moment for now, if you learn something today, and if you didn't learn something, you're a freaking liar, okay? But if you honestly was with me this entire session, and you watch me outline this, and I told you why it was going to go here, what levels were key, what to focus on, and you watch it pan, and you understood, and you understand now, and if you don't, I'm going to make it clear for you. Give it a thumbs up because I, as I appreciate you spending time with us on C. I don't need to be doing this. I can do this privately with Caleb. I don't, I, I can tell Caleb, I understand that you want to make a YouTube channel. I understand that that could make you a little bit of scratch and money. I understand that. But no, I don't want these people to know this. I could do that. And I don't feel bad telling you that openly because I've done a lot of that stuff that I don't want to share certain things because it's too good. Because 20-year-old kids go out there and pretend they didn't learn it from me and they found it on their own and they relabel it so they can make a name for themselves. And then eventually people find out about them and then they expose them. "Dude, you're nothing more than just an ICT ripoff." And you can spare yourself of all that stuff just by being honest and say, you know what, thank you ICT for sharing this. I'm going to make it mine and this is how I use it. I got no, I got no problem with that. I got students out there that doing mentorships now, okay? It's their business. It's not mine. They're not hiding where they learned it from. And that, that's all I've asked for. This is just, remember who fed you. That's it. I'm not doing paid mentorships. I could be out here teaching this kind of stuff and more for millions of dollars a month all over again, folks. I don't want it. I don't want it. And if it wasn't for my son tapping me saying, "Hey Dad, give me another chance to do this. I want to learn it." I wouldn't be doing this. Have you been seeing any videos? No, I'm not worried about it. But since he wants to, I'm going to pour myself into it. I'm going to pour everything I have into this. And I'm not fully back to myself. I'm not doing well. Like, I've been experiencing vertigo. I've had eye blood pressure. I've had chest pains. I've rushed to the hospital. Like I had a lot of stuff going on. And I'm not stressed about nothing. It's just my body's going through something. And I don't know what it is. And I don't not know how to trade. I know exactly how to trade. I know exactly what these markets are going to do any given day, even on sloppy seek and destroy days. In fact, I'm going to wait until we have one and I'm going to show you me executing in one of them. I am not fearful of any of these market profiles. I'm not fearful of my stuff falling out of style because there is no style. This is the market. This is the source code.
But when you set up a framework of whatever you're going to study in the morning, if you're going to trade the morning session, your key times, you have to absolutely be in front of the charts between 7 o'clock and 7:30 in the morning, always New York local time, okay? If you can be in front of the charts by 7 o'clock, this is what you're doing. But if you can't, you do the same thing at 8:00 to 8:30, the same thing at 9:00 to 9:30, okay? This is your pre-market range. Write that down because if you don't write it down, you're going to forget. You're going to call it the opening range. It's not the opening range. The opening range is the first 30 minutes after the opening bell at the New York session. The first 30 minutes after 7 o'clock to 7:30, that is your pre-market range. 7:30 to 8:00 is your opening range. Remember I was telling I could trade every single hourly candle? Now you're starting to think your gears are turning, aren't they? It's fun, isn't it? And obviously the 9:00 to 9:30, that's your pre-market range. And then post 9:30 to 10:00, that's your opening range. There is no 15-minute opening range. I don't care what anybody tells you, okay? It's a 30-minute opening range that's algorithmic, okay?
So what you're doing, and this, this little range here that's being shown here with this rectangle, what I'm saying is this is essentially that 30-minute interval, whether it be 7:00 to 7:30, or 8:00 to 8:30, or 9:00 to 9:30. That pre-market range. And in that range, what you're doing is, you're looking at this, this line, or beginning of that shaded area would delineate the 7 o'clock, or the 8 o'clock, or the 9 o'clock where it begins at that specific top of the outline. And then this would be the range that makes up that first 30 minutes. Now, it's not obviously the scale, but I'm oversimplifying for the sake of teaching. What I'm saying, prior to that range, anything before or to the left of this, you're looking for equal highs or equal lows. Which side has it? Because that's your bias. It's going to draw to that. How do you know if you have both? Because I heard you, you're thinking, "But what happens if you have a relative equal high here and relative equal low?" Which one? You wait for the first one to get disrupted. Because once that happens, then you work to the other one. That's, that's your bias. So you have to defer and wait.
Now, gamblers or live streamers that just want to have people watching and doing anything and not really executing on stream, but after the trade starts moving in their favor, then they'll show the trade here. What good is that? What good is that? That just proves you're not confident in what you're doing. And you're going to show it after it's moved in your favor. Talk about it, explain it, and then do it. I'm going to do that. But today, I gave you a clinic on how to determine bias. How it's easy for me, and it's easy for you. Whichever one has the relative equal highs or relative equal lows, that's a smooth area. It will be disrupted. Anywhere where you see jagged edges like this down here, see, I went jagged and then ripped higher. What's it telling you? What's it telling you? I'm going to look for buy-side liquidity, buy stops. This has been a trap. They engage traders to go short. They're, they're trapped short on a breakout, or they're not trying to take the shorts out of the market yet. And that's why you see all this in here creeping up. This is all balanced. That's why this spike stop, top of the breaker. Isn't that interesting? Isn't that interesting? I've been talking nonstop. No chance for me to have another add-over voice-over. It's all live. You watched me do it live. I explained the logic. And now here's the wonderful thing. You have the privilege to go back to your charts and backtest this. And your jaws are going to drop. You're going to be thinking, "It's always been there." But I've been looking for this stupid ass harmonic pattern. I've been waiting for my yin and yang to appear in my chart. I've been waiting for my moving averages to cross over. But my, my Lux algo indicator said this and then said that. And I got tripped up. I thought it was going to do, no [ __ ] [ __ ]. It's all [ __ ]. There's nothing complicated about what I said in any of the mentorships. The years, they're just very deep, dry lessons that give you the why. Because I'm a person that's highly technical. I want to know why it's going to do it. Don't tell me something and then do it 10 times, and we write 10 times, and that's not going to convince me of anything. I need to know why it's doing it. And if you don't think critically about that, you're a gambler. You absolutely are a gambler. I need to understand before I put money behind it. I need to know, why is this market going to do this? Then at that time, why should it behave that way?
And folks, you can't get any plainer or simpler than simply saying, okay, where it's smooth now, you're going to say, well, this isn't new. ICT, you talked about relative equal highs and lows before, right? And I taught that you should be aiming for them. But you haven't been trading like that. You've been doing other stuff and then cussing me behind my back saying, "This stuff doesn't work. This guy's a fraud. We don't see his name on the leaderboard. He's a fraud." I'm out here in front of you live telling you what's going to happen. You think I can't do that in Rob's C? You think I can't do that? Come on. You guys are gamble, man. You're so easy. You're so easy. I love it. I absolutely love it. But anyway, market trades down to the bullish breaker that I absolutely identified before it hits it, and then goes to the relative equal highs I told you to focus on. And then I gave you this one here. And I told you this imbalance, it's prior to these relative equal highs being taken. But this was where we were focused on. And look where we're trading. See that? Now, in closing, I really do have to close in this price run. And we're not going to use all of this. This is capitulation. It's getting more excited. If we have this segment of price action, okay, if I'm identifying this area up here, okay, more specifically, let's be honest, because this is the one I drew your attention to first, so we'll stick with that. Even though that that other one was at, even before it got Traer. Did you get the video a thumbs up, by the way? Did you take a, take a second of your time to press that up thumb icon on YouTube? That's free. I didn't charge anything for it because that really is a way for you to communicate to me that you had fun today, that you really did leave and learn something. And now you have something that's tangible that you go back and look at every single day in the past, in journal, because you should be doing that every single day.
You break down the at 7 o'clock in the morning, have 7 o'clock in the morning all the way till say, uh, 11:00, okay? So it's four hours. And you want to have your 15-minute time frame, your five-minute time frame, your one-minute time frame charts and annotate. It may require you to have multiple charts from that individual one-minute chart where you're zoomed in and you're annotating something specific that are very salient to you. Because most of you may not have trusted this as a bullish breaker when you saw this drop in here. You're hoping, and some of you were probably tickled your [ __ ] was puffing and thinking, "He's getting screwed in front of all this." I love it. I love it. I love it. You're drooling. And then what happens? It rips your face off. And I'm right again. I know, I know. I could have a whole lot of fun with that, but I'm not because I'm here to try to teach my son. And you're here to learn. If you go back through all this price run here, okay, what you're going to do is, you're going to focus on the points that make the most obvious that you could see. And it says, you know what, I understand this. Even though ICT pointed out this breaker, you may have noticed it, maybe you didn't. If you didn't, that's not your PD array. If you noticed that it traded down into this fair value gap, you got right there inside of this old Cy, which is essentially where that midpoint between where we expect price to trade to, which is above these highs, and where it traded from. See that? So if we see where it's likely to go and where it went from where it originated from, where's the midpoint? Well, let's do a simple measurement. Here's your fib. And we're going to say something above these relative equal highs, we'll just randomly pick an area right there, okay? I'm just being very bland. There's no real reason I'm picking that price. It's just simply slightly above the relative equal high. There's no other logic, simply that, okay? So I'm not trying to complicate anything. But if you take that and you go down to the lows that are relatively equal, not the lowest low, that's the manipulation. You want to use the relative equal lows like that, okay? See that? And then you have essentially the midpoint here. In close proximity to that, you have this fair value gap and you have a sp. And this one here can be used even though it's a little bit above equilibrium because we didn't take this high and that high out, which I was outlining to you real time. Take that out yet. We didn't take out these two relative equal highs when it was traded down to the breaker. But what happens when it trades up here? And then at real time, I said, "Watch this fair value gap." Watch the stream. Go back and watch the stream. When we were trading right there, I said, "Watch." And here we are trading. Got here and then takes off and runs to where we were waiting to see it deliver.
The smooth areas are going to be attacked. The sharks are going to go to still water. That's where they're going to go. Why? Because as soon as someone in there starts shaking in fear that their stop's going to be taken, that still water will ripple. And that triggers a frenzy. And the sharks are going to go right there. You don't trade into levels where the sharks have already had a frenzy. And that's down here, okay? They've already done the work. There's been an attack down here. How do you know there's been the great disturbance in, in, in what price was doing and how it was delivered? It's jagged like shark teeth cutting through the side of a whale's body. It's been damaged, delivered. You can see it. It's physically representative in the jaggedness of the swings going down where we don't see that jaggedness up here. It's nice and smooth. Thrilling, biting. It's safe. Put your stops above you like a siren calling out to the sailors, "Come to me, come to me," and crashes them on the rocks. I know, Mr. Analogy. I don't know where it comes from. But you have to go through all of this price action in here and determine what price level makes sense to you. Which one resonates with you? Do you see the fair value gaps where I was outlining before? I did. Did it make sense when I was drawing them out? Did you change your expectation and get fearful that I'm wrong and it's not going to go up there? Because that this drop here, what's occurring here? The only thing it's doing is at 9:30 during the opening range, it's doing what? It's creating a Judas swing, something that's opposite to the real move. The real move was given to you with these highs. It's going to go there at any time. Did you hear me sound nervous in front of all of you? I don't know how many people were watching. I think there was like 6,000 earlier, first time I checked the streams continuity. But I haven't seen, I don't know what the highest high do in terms of how many people are watching. Did that sound like I was nervous? Because I don't think I was nervous at all. Way. And I've been really, really trying not to say any embellishments on the curse words and stuff, but sometimes it just, it has, it finds its way out. I'm, I'm human. I'm a sinner. And I have to repent all the time when I do it. Um, I always regret when it slips out. But that's, I'm, I'm real. Like, I'm a real person. And I have character flaws like anybody else. But I try very, very hard today not to use that type of language. But depending upon what subject matter I refer to, it will, it'll draw it at me. And I'm not proud of it. But anyway, we can see how that C becomes an inversion fair value gap here. And then it sends price higher. Reaches down. And then you have your second leg redistribution. And it, the smooth area that's up. This market, I knew it. I, yeah, that's how it is.
So when you're looking for the bias, okay? The easiest, most scientific, proven, nine out of 10 doctors approved, ICT has nailed it down to a science of wherever the smooth equal highs are or smooth relative equal lows are at the beginning of 7:00 to 7:30, or 8:00 to 8:30, or 9:00 to 9:30. You got three opportunities, three chances, okay? As each one of these time windows passes by. So at 7 o'clock, we formed the relative equal high. And then at 8:00 to 8:30, we didn't go up there yet. So that means that what? 9:00 to 9:30, chances are that's the run. See how that does that? It increases the likelihood of it going there. It doesn't diminish it because it's building up more trust in that area right there. So the framework begins at 7 o'clock in the morning. Start looking for relative equal highs to form. Not before. Big, big, big, big takeaway. Is not before 7 o'clock. At 7 o'clock, look for them to form. Big, big, big takeaway there, okay? If you're looking for relative equal highs prior to 7 o'clock in the morning, you may, you may get it. But many times you're expecting the London session to be completely overdone. And it's, it's most times not the case. So it kind of like builds in this filter where you're not trying to demand that the run on London is removed or or dismissed because of price overlapping it and going back over top of it. Because the general consensus is we could see the higher low they form in M. So if it's bearish or bullish relative to a higher time frame draw, which is not necessary. Notice I haven't even used that here yet. Only thing I used was a 15-minute time frame, a 5-minute time frame, and a one-minute time frame. And I was framing on the basis of time because I understand my algorithm. I understand what it's going to do. I understand exactly what these markets are going to do every single day. Every single day. It will not stop. It will not be hidden from you. But it can be disrupted by manual intervention. And that always causes me to lose. It will always cause me to be incorrect because that's something that we, and no one can predict. It's their casino if they want to come in and, you know, disrupt everything. It is what it is. And that's the inherent risk that every one of us has to assume while trading. So that's, that should be the number one reason why you should never overleverage. Because that is always looming. And condition in the marketplace right now in geopolitical tension and turmoil that is expected to unfold at any given time, any moment, folks. Things could pop off. And your little indicator or your little market structure idea, whether it be mine or somebody else's stuff, means nothing when that happens. It literally is cannon fodder. It's gone. You're dusted. And if you happen to be overleveraged when it happens, you're going to, and sorry, but it's not going to be pleasurable. It's going to be, it's going to be a hard swallow and probably end you and take you out of the game entirely. And all of that is avoidable if you don't overleverage. If you trade with one contract and you try to capture moves like this, I promise you, you're going to beat the socks off of every one of the live streamers out there. And my students included, all of them that are doing well now, they're going to start applying this and watch and see how well they start increasing. And people that don't, their trades are going to start working. And go back and look at what I'm taught you here. They're going, you're going to see that they're using this too. It's a secret weapon. I didn't want to give it to anybody. I did not want to give it away to anyone. It's a, it's a home field advantage. One of many that I have. But because I want my son to know what he's doing, that's real simple. It's, it's not complicated. It's one or the other. And if there's two extremes above and below the range, that's relative equal high and relative equal low, then you just wait for one of them to be disrupted. And just sometimes you'll miss a move. Sometimes it'll do it and then you won't get a trade. Who cares? Who cares? When you backtest this, you're, you're going to see like, what am I worried about, man? Like, this is so many times offered to me every single week, right? That's the mindset you need to come away with. Not, I got to trade every single day. When it's so obvious, when it's so obvious, that's the ones you want to trade on. Because retail is going to have every hope and prayer hanging on those relative equal highs thinking it's resistance. And they're going to eat them. They're going to devour them and grind their bones to powder. And you can have a moral dilemma and have some convictions about that being, "Oh, I can't do that to somebody else." I can, because they signed the same risk disclosure that I do when I open to. And if they make the wrong move, interrupt them. That's how you eat. That's how you eat here. And if you have a problem with that, then trading's not for you. And there's nothing wrong with that either. But hopefully, you, you see that when we're doing this, we're not trying to be smart. We're not trying to be more popular than somebody else. We're not trying to get more attention and more viewership or more followers. We're in here to try to make money so that way you can make your ends meet. That's it. And some of you will supercharge that and become pillars in the community and and and titans and be so much bigger than I am. And I'm here to see it. I want to see it. I want to cheer you on. I'd love for one of my sons to be that person. I've been trying to cultivate that since they were little. But they're, they're individual personalities. And you know how it is. You listen to your parents. And even if your dad can do it and prove it over and over and over and over and over again, sometimes still isn't enough as a motivation to do it because you have to want to do it. And guess what makes that happen? When you make them work menial jobs and they hate it. What's the alternative? College. That's have the question. So do what works. Do what works and can be proven. I could do this in front of the Supreme Court, right? Just like I did today. I ain't afraid of it. I'm not afraid of this. And when you get that confidence, it's not arrogance. But when somebody doesn't know how to do something and they feel miserably when they hear somebody talk like that, and when they see somebody display it, it's so uncomfortable. It's unbearable for them. So now you are a narcissistic jerk. You're arrogant. You're conceited. Okay? Is that going to make me lose money on the next trade? No. Is that going to make me forget that the logic that is being employed here? No. I'm not here for friends. I'm not here for friends. Neither should you be. I'm warming up to these candlesticks when it's appropriate. But when the date is over, I'm going home alone. They're not spending a night with me. That's all it is. It's a momentary engage. And I'm leaving before any kids are made. Simple as that. I'm staying protected. I'm wrapping up. I got a stop loss. I know when I hit the brakes and go out the other direction. If it's a grenade, I'm getting out of there before it does any damage. And that's me thinking like a man. For the ladies, you, you come up with your own analogy. I'm not that good with it with the lady side. But hopefully, you, you've learned something today. Um, I'm going to close this one. I'm going to invite you all tomorrow to to come back. If you found this insightful, it'll be a little bit more technical tomorrow. Uh, today was more or less the mindset, how to relax when you're watching the charts and what to look for so that way you're not holding so much expectation over yourself. And then you can enjoy, enjoy studying it because it's important that you do enjoy it. Because if it's, if it's daunting and you're not really seeing any kind of fun, uh, characteristics in it, it's going to be very hard to stick with it. So I, I tried to cultivate that today. If I was successful, you can obviously show me by giving a thumbs up. I promise you, I don't make any more money. I thumbs up. And you don't take any money from me when you put the thumbs down either. It doesn't change anything. But it's just a way for you to give me feedback that that you found something in this today that made sense for you, that you are inspired to go into your charts and you had fun while you were running. So this is going to be the end of lecture number one, dealing with the foundations of determining a bias. It's very, very simple. It doesn't, doesn't require a whole lot of complicated things. It's very time specific. Without the time elements, none of it matters. And it's very, very rule-based. That doesn't require a whole lot of moving parts. Where it's smooth, it's going. Where it's jagged, it's going to move away from. Very, very simple logic, folks. Not complicated at all. And I'll talk to you tomorrow, Lord willing. Be safe.
