Successful trading requires recognizing when 'sharks' (market manipulators) deliberately move price to squeeze out retail traders before reversing, and understanding that the 'violence' of candles (large, deliberate movements) indicates where trades are likely to occur; traders should wait for price to seek their moving averages rather than the averages seeking price, and learn the specific personality of each instrument they trade.

Oh [ __ ] Um, wrong screen. Hold on here. Let me pull this over.
Let me get this out of the way.
[clears throat] I'm in this gold.
[cough] I'm going to defend the bottom of this candle. So 270 >> [sighs] >> You never know. We had all these inside candles here and we finally came through the top of this one that went through the bottom.
That's my favorite little scenario.
Obviously, we had this inside candle. We went through the bottom, came out through the top. So, I'm just hoping we can gain some mustard and go long here.
[clears throat] I'm not happy about the prior day high being in the middle of all this.
But we shall see. We shall see.
[laughter] We shall see.
We shall see.
We shall see. All right. Come on now.
Go. Come on, gold.
Come on.
Got to get through this prior day high here.
Got to get through this prior day high.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. All right.
[snorts] Okay. Come [clears throat] on.
Let's go.
Oh my god.
Could this thing actually do a banger for me right out of the gate this morning? Get the hell out of here.
All right. Well, [ __ ] Let's go. Come on.
Come on. Come on. Gold.
Come on.
Let's not sit here and think about it.
>> [sighs and gasps] >> I'm I'm I'm [clears throat and cough] I have my stop still at 270 just in case it comes down here like it's doing right now and cleaning out some stops. I mean, I I do feel like they're going to come into this range right here to clean out stops, which is where they're at right now. So, I'm hoping it reverses from here.
If it reverses from here back up, then I'm going to put my stop at even.
[clears throat] Excuse me.
Right now, I'm going to have to sit here with this big stop for now. All right. All right. All right. There you go. Now, let's go back up.
Come on, gold. There you go. All right.
Come on. Come on.
Excuse [clears throat] me, guys. Jesus.
Come on.
Come on. Gold. Let's do it. We all know what We all know what the plan is. Just the question is what's the path going to be to do it?
This freaking prior day high being in the way is really not helping me out right now.
I mean, and it's right in the way. Like, it's it's it's in a way where we're where we're coming from the launching area.
It'd be less of a problem if it was up here or up here, but being in the launching area, man, I'm It's got me a little nervous. All right.
Okay. Come on.
[clears throat] Jesus. All right. I am going to I need you to go up. Come on. I need a I need a candle up on this left here to be broken to the long side so I can put my stop here. There we go. All right. All right. All right. Come on. Come on.
Let's go. All right. Now, now I'm risking $110.
Remember, my objective also, if I can, as we migrate our way hopefully to here, is my objective is to try to find spots to maybe add another contract or two.
Come on, gold. Come on. Come on.
[clears throat] Let's go. Come on, baby.
All right.
And when I'm at the point of adding contracts, I want to be able to put my stops in a no- loss position. So, even though this might have been a spot to possibly add, I didn't do it because then I'm putting my stop here once I have two contracts in and I don't want to risk um, you know, getting chopped out for in at the at the at the early stages of the trade. Is that making sense? Am I making sense? Come on.
Let's go, Gold. Come on.
You're in with me, Papa Duke. All right.
I'm with you, buddy. Let's go. Let's go.
[laughter] Let's go.
All right. So, my ATM threw me at break even because I have it set that way once I hit 40 ticks. So, it threw me at break even. I'm fine with that.
[clears throat] If I I think that's a pretty pretty decent place to, you know, instead of below the pivot, I'm all right.
[sighs] All right. Come on. Come on. Come on.
Come on. Gold. Be my friend. Be my friend today.
may make our future together today, [laughter] [clears throat] man. God dang it. I'm wondering if I should go back below the pivot [ __ ] because I don't, you know, them coming and testing the top of the prior day high would not be an unusual thing.
And I've got noise behind me. Landscaper [ __ ] Sorry.
Come on. Come on. I'm wondering if I should defend.
Should I'm only risking $110. $120. Yeah, let me do that.
[clears throat] Come on. because I I just in case they test because see at this point now the prior day high should become support for us.
They crossed over and now they're sitting on it. How far they're going to pull through before they roll up. Don't know [sighs and gasps] if they do roll up.
Come on, gold.
All right, here we go. Now we're rolling up.
Jesus.
All right. All right. All right.
[applause] Patience is a virtue in this trading in this in this.
Remember, it's it's the front side of the trade, which is this side. That's the difficult part. Normally, the second half is the easy part.
So, we just got to I got to whittle my way through the front side.
The re the reward is normally the the second half of the 7 $800, not the first half. The first half is the is the struggle.
Come on.
Come on. Gold. [clears throat] All right. So, we got a little bit of an Well, no, we got five minutes till then.
All right. Remember, oil opens up and gold can get a little freaking squirly then, too.
Um, but it doesn't open for five more minutes. I would really like it to cross the box before then.
There you go. Come on. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't do that. Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Come on. Come on, Gold. Damn it.
You're starting to frustrate me.
I'm going to move myself down a little just in case they finger through. I just I just I mean the reward is at this point the re the potential reward is very big.
So, I really don't care to make $60 and get ticked out and have it run away on me. Come on. Come on.
Let's go.
[clears throat and cough] Come on, Gold.
Come on, Gold.
Come on, Gold. Come on. Come on.
Make my Friday an early one. [laughter] Make my Friday an early one. Come on.
>> [sighs] >> All right. I think now I can uh move my stop below the pivot.
Come on, gold.
[sighs and gasps] At any moment, it could just start launching itself. That's what's so frustrating about this.
this trade is you could sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit for 15 20 minutes and all a sudden it just goes sing [laughter] and it's like ah and it's very frustrating Come on, gold.
[clears throat] Oh, man. [ __ ] We're a minute and 20 seconds from oil opening.
it. I'm gonna I'm gonna defend my position when oil opens. And oil just may be the spark that causes gold to to then take off. So that's that's I'm not I'm not going to I'm not going to freak out. I'm just going to sit here and pray. There we are. Okay. Okay.
Okay. Okay. We're starting to launch.
We're starting to launch.
We're starting to launch. That freaking five minute gold line is a pain in the ass in gold. So, we got to get through that. Come on. We're starting to launch.
Starting to launch.
Okay, guys. Here we go. This This could be it. We're getting ready, guys.
And girls. Guys and girls. Guys and girl. Okay, here we are. We're launching. We're launching. Remember, you got guys, you only have to hit one of these a week. Think about that. One of these a week and you the hell. You know what I mean? One of these a week. Come on, baby. Come on.
All right. Now, remember, we got 12 seconds for for oil to open.
Might be the launching pad to get this thing going. I'm going to lock in 350.
I'm gonna lock in 350.
All right. See, it's going to get a little get a little get a little hokeyp pokey right here because of oil. All right, there we go.
Come on, baby. Come on. Come on.
Let's go. Come on.
Let's go. Come on. Come on. Come on.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Come on.
Let's get this over with.
This is why I started the stream early.
I started it early yesterday for no reason. Oh, come on. Come Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.
No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. Freaking oil opening up is pissing me off.
God dang it. Don't take me out.
Don't take me out. Oh my god. It's going to take me out for 350 bucks.
Is it going to take me out for 350 bucks? God dang it. It did. [ __ ] [ __ ] All right. So, let's just see if it tests the prior day high and reverses. I'm going to hold on for that potential.
Remember, we have the prior day high right here.
So, I'm not I'm not I'm not giving up on trying to find a way to cross the box.
This this reminds me of what was it?
God, what it was a couple days ago.
This pattern is reminding me of a couple days ago where they came they blew through the top. They blew through the midband, came all the way back to almost where the entry was, reversed, and ran across the box. So, I'm just gonna I'm gonna stay right here and stay potential.
I did lock in 350 to play with.
Um, damn it. Ah, I think I'm going to do it.
Oh, [ __ ] It's gonna It's already gone.
I missed it.
This God, they did this exact thing two days ago, I think it was. Yeah, two days ago. This exact thing. And I just [ __ ] I fell asleep at the wheel.
>> [clears throat] >> fell asleep at the wheel.
Fell asleep at the wheel.
I should I should have they If you go back two days, matter of fact, it was a long It was long also. They did the same thing. They blew it up through, brought it back in with a big pullback and then ran it straight across.
Huge pullback two days ago.
All right, I'm gonna kill this for now.
Give me a second.
Yep.
Damn it. Damn it. Damn it.
[sighs] This is why I need to just leave my stop down here and let it do its thing.
[gasps] Okay, hold on.
Let it do its thing. God damn it. I'll show you guys. I think it was two days ago it did this. It did literally the same thing we're seeing right now. two days ago.
Literally the same thing.
And I just I put my order button on here just a freaking second too late.
[sighs and gasps] If I get an inside candle here, I'll I'll I'll look to take potentially long off the midband.
I'm so pissed at myself right now.
I am. I'm pissed at myself.
See, they know the the sharks know. So, let's go back to the sharks. The sharks know that it's too hard for the average trader to be up $900 and then back down to zero and then up. I mean, they just know that. So, they shake you out.
[ __ ] man.
Uh, I think it was two days ago.
Was it two days ago? Trying to remember.
No, maybe it was three days ago.
Was it three days ago?
[ __ ] I can't remember.
I'm just frustrated now. I blew it.
I mean, you know, the the once [clears throat] they leave this area, they're going once they leave this area, they're going here.
Just the question is how ugly is the path going to be?
Yeah, I haven't loaded it yet. I I I I I did some amazing trading yesterday afternoon, [laughter] didn't I, Jim? I did some amazing trading yesterday afternoon.
I did some amazing trading yesterday afternoon.
So, I I was focused on that, but I I haven't loaded I haven't loaded the stuff yet.
Uh here's a screenshot of one of my trades.
Rejection down, added. added.
Bam.
That was one of my trades.
Five minute red line. I rode this thing all the way down for a big target.
Didn't get it. Came back up. I added a second contract here. Came down, rolled up, and I added a third contract here.
Wham.
That was one of my trades.
That was one of my trades yesterday afternoon. I beat the hell out of that red line in the NQ.
Just pounded that thing for some big money.
All right, I'm going to try this. Oh, let me I'm going to try this.
Ah, so frustrating.
All right, here we go.
Here we go. Just go across and get this over with.
Just go across and get this over with so I can stop freaking crying that I got chased out over here.
Just go across. Just go across. I got to move my target here in a minute, guys.
I'm just I'm just managing my stop first. I always manage my stop first, my target second.
[clears throat] Obviously, my target needs to be pulled down.
Come on, gold.
Ah, the hell with it. There. It either goes or it doesn't.
either goes or it doesn't.
Ah, didn't. All right, I'm okay.
[snorts] Yesterday afternoon, um, man, the the the red line trades in the NQ were just fire.
>> [laughter] >> absolute fire.
I was just beating beating the brakes off of it. Beating the brakes off of it.
At one point, Jim messaged me and said, "Now you're just showing off. [laughter] Now [laughter] you're just showing off."
That was funny.
Oh [ __ ] there it goes. I should have waited on my freaking target and managed my stop first because I my stop should have been here, not not here.
Anyways, I'm okay.
I'm okay.
I'm still upset that I let them shake me out here.
Good morning, Ian. [laughter] This box trade is is being pretty choppy today. It's still working, but it's being very choppy.
I'll be right back, guys. Hang on. I'll be right back.
Oh god.
Sorry guys, I was I haven't been reading the uh the chat comments because I'm was in a trade. But yeah, I got I got the uh inside bar stuff. I just haven't loaded it. So I still have the old version right now.
Um so thank you for cor thank you for adding the little part. Man, I don't know what Ninja is thinking.
I I mean, you create a [ __ ] tool that by definition isn't isn't what it isn't what it is. Isn't what it's supposed to be by definition.
[laughter] And it took me a while to figure that out cuz there I am just assuming, oh, you know, these ninja programmers have a freaking clue. No, they don't. They're not traders, man. The ENQ just banged right off the prior day high. What a beautiful setup.
I'm over here freaking pissing and moaning about this.
We got 912. Yeah.
[sighs] Sorry.
Got so excited about this gold trade. I thought we were going to [clears throat] thought we were going to get a nice shoot to the moon and instead I got petered out.
It's still It's still going. It It's not done.
The trade itself is not over. Me being in it is over.
Oh [ __ ] All right, I'm going to try this again because we're coming from another higher.
See, we broke that pivot, came back down, sitting on that midband. So, we're coming from a higher pivot again straight down to this spot.
[sighs and gasps] Be nice if I got an inside candle here and then a break. That'd be really That'd be even better. [clears throat] That'd be even better. I'm not a big fan of the midband.
Not a big fan of the midband, but it's there and it keeps holding.
Okay, there's an inside candle. All right, there's an inside candle.
All right, I'm I'm in. I'm going to defend the bottom of that inside candle there. All right. Okay. Okay. Okay. All right. Let's go.
Let's finally get me my trade. Damn it.
Come on. Let's finally get me my trade.
Let's go. Come on. Let's [clears throat] finally get me my trade.
This is the hardest freaking thousand bucks I've ever had to [clears throat] earn here. Jesus. And gold. Come on.
Come on. Gold. Just go.
No. [ __ ] All right. I lost 100 bucks.
I'm not giving back more of my money now. Oh man, oil just came straight out of the box.
Straight out of the box. I don't know if anybody took that. Is anybody in the oil trade? Right out of the box. One of our setups right there. Anybody in that oil trade? Is anybody in it?
I mean, right out of the box, bam.
I mean, [ __ ] I mean, I think it's probably going to go at least up to like 88, which be about a $400, $500 trade. You're in.
All right, Ian. Good luck, man. I'm praying for you, buddy.
straight out of the box. What a beautiful setup. I mean, god dang.
So, you got uh your pivots right in this 88 range.
So, hopefully it at least gets to there.
[snorts] All right. Well, I guess I'm in dormant mode for a while now. Uh cuz the market opens in um you know a few minutes, 15 minutes now. I think we have some news at freaking uh whatever. You got 150 bucks.
Well, you're beating me. I'm only up a 100.
I'm only up a 100. [laughter] You're beating me. And and that was an easier trade than the ones I've been struggling through.
>> [laughter] >> That was a pretty That was a pretty easy trade there.
Right out of the B. Right out of the shoot, man.
Right out of the shoot.
Uh, all right.
It's weird. Gold just went right to sleep.
Just crazy. Now, if you're if you're if you just did like I said here and you just sitting at break even. I mean the pattern is still there. These highs keep creating these rotations keep creating new highs. Your pivot lows keep going up. Here's this one. Here's this one. Here's this one. Your pivot highs keep breaking. So, I mean, the pattern's still there. For some freaking reason, it ran out of damn gas.
That's true, Ian. [laughter] That is true. That is true.
Very, very true.
I'm going to look for oil [snorts] to test the top of the box for a potential long. That's what I'm going to look at. So, I'm I'm looking over at it.
Good morning, Bruce.
So, and the other thing about this trade is you're you're you're north of the midband.
So, I'm such a freaking squirrel, man. I really am. I'm such a freaking squirrel.
Morning gambler.
Well, oil did that rotation two ticks too early for me. There it goes. By the way, [ __ ] piece of [ __ ] I am such a squirrel, man. I am such a squirrel. Why I put myself in all this anxiety when all I had to do was keep following the bottom of the yellow pivots till we get to freaking target?
Why?
Look at it.
I told you. I told you here it was going here.
Why I have to give up on it is beyond me.
Very frustrating. Sorry about that. I just I'm upset with myself.
Upset [snorts] with myself.
Only I could know what a trade's going to do and chop my legs off in the process.
[clears throat] Here it goes.
I got to admit today it's been very it's been rather dicey for this trade.
I mean this is this is this [ __ ] here is ugly. But the whole time it kept structure. Pivot broke. [clears throat] Pivot broke.
pivot held, pivot held, midband held, micro the micro pivots here, here, here.
I mean, it just it the whole time it kept its pattern the whole time it kept its pattern of going long.
I got to give it credit. It did that.
It's just been very dicey.
Of course, you got, you know, and that may be, it may be because we have these Fed idiots talking. They started talking at 9:15.
It could be why gold has been dicey across the box. I wouldn't be surprised if that's that's the problem. But we had one of these, you know, Fed fairy tale clowns talking at 9:15.
And another one at 910.
[laughter] Sorry.
You know, it's funny how much how much how much taxpayers pay these idiots to give five minute speeches. I'd give a five minute speech for what these freaking idiots get paid. The problem is they wouldn't hire me to give the speech because I'd tell the truth.
Oh, it did go off the top of the box.
Blue. I didn't even see that.
It did do that. [clears throat] I didn't even see that.
still slowly meandering.
I don't know about that, Ian.
Once it clears and gets on top, man, it it likes to stay there. Just like that trade right there that I freaking didn't that I missed cuz I wasn't looking. This is the setup I waited for was this.
Here we go. All right, we are Oh, no. We're four minutes from the open. Okay.
I always get freaked out because I'm looking down here and it says 9:30 and it looks like it's the 9:30 candle till you expand it out and you realize, oh wait, no it's not. [laughter] I always freak out. Oh [ __ ] it's 9:30 already. No, it's not. [clears throat] All right.
See how it's doing that, Ian? It doesn't necessarily mean it's going to push it long, but once once you create space and get on top of that box, they're going to fight to hold it out of that box.
And that's that's what that's what oil is doing right now. It is fighting to hold above that box.
And there it goes.
Another beautiful trade that I'm not in.
Another beautiful trade that I'm not in.
See, there it goes.
There's just little things you got to pay attention to. What's the power of that line once you've gone above it and created space?
Is it's going to it? They're going to fight, scratch, kick, scream, piss, moan, [ __ ] whatever to keep it north of that.
What I want to see, Ian, is it to force it inside, then rotate up inside, and then crash. That's what I want to see in oil [clears throat] because we've come outside.
Yeah, oil's oil might be sitting around waiting for the market to open. Morning snow invest because it looks like that's what gold's doing. That's what looks that's looks like what oil's doing. They're waiting for the market to open now.
Yeah. Okay, Ian. Good. Good. Gotcha.
Yeah, it's mine, too. Once we've gone outside, I need it to come in. I need it to rotate. I need it to go up and then go down. when it when it just sticks its finger out like like gold. Well, then I'll then I'll look to cross without all that.
And gold is still doing it. It's just taking its sweet ass time today.
Taking it sweet ass time. But it's still doing everything that we would want it to do. Like I said, lower pivots the the the the are higher. The high pivots are higher.
That's what you want to see.
[laughter] All righty.
Well, that's true.
But I like to distinguish the difference between sticking their finger out and when they completely go out. When they completely go out, man, it it I got to see conviction that they're coming back in.
All right, the market's open.
So, all the reindeer games have begun.
Anyways, I'm sorry guys that I blew that freaking gold trade because there it is right now. There it is right now.
There it is.
What is it? Right there.
Two tick. There it is. Right there.
There it is. God damn.
Just close it out. Don't be a dick for a tick. There it is. There's your trade.
God dang it. I'm such a [ __ ] squirrel, man. I swear to God.
[sighs] I'm such a [ __ ] squirrel.
Did you take the whole thing, Papa Duke?
I am I'm I'm proud of you, man.
I'm proud of you. I'm just too much of a [ __ ] squirrel.
I uh that's that's the stuff. I I talked about it yesterday, not on this trade, but on the line trades.
Um that I I'm personally working on.
I've got to work on that stuff.
Situations where I know what the endgame is.
I've got to get myself in and I gotta go to the endgame.
Good job, Papa Duke.
I'm impressed for you. Do Do you need my Do you need my uh Do you need my account information for my cut [laughter] or do you still have it?
[laughter] And this this this freaking piece of crap's probably going to do it again back.
And I'd be willing to take a shot at it if I had caught that piece across. But I'm just I'm just pissed now.
I'm just pissed.
I'm just pissed.
[laughter] Okay, Papa. I got you. All right. Good for you. [laughter] Thanks.
Yeah.
God dang it.
Have a good weekend, Papa Duke.
This is a beautiful trade when you learn it.
It is a beautiful trade to be one and done. It's a beautiful trade and it happened. Just the damn thing took 50 minutes this time. Jesus.
And it's probably going to it's probably going to do the Here's the here's the scary part. Okay. is probably going to do the same thing back.
That's how violent [laughter] the sharks are with this strategy. It's probably going to do the same thing back.
Probably going to do the same thing back.
I mean, look at it.
Ah, that's uh that's a that's I'm read I'm reading your red line question. So, I mean, redline trades in my opinion work better the later the day goes.
Um, you know, it's just like, you know, let's go back to let's go back to these that I took yesterday.
All right, this is this is the NQ. This is 2:50 in the afternoon. I mean, and by the way, notice I want you to I want you to notice a couple things about these red line trades. Okay, this is very important.
Why? Why, you know, why is this not?
Well, because you're going from a pivot here, you had this rotation down. You're going from a pivot here, but he back to the red line, you're going from a higher pivot here. So, you should not expect that trade to work, nor nor did it set up. But here, you're coming from a new pivot low straight here down. A newer pivot low straight here down.
And the later the day is, the more this line right here becomes your determinant of the market direction.
Now, that being said, can you trade it at 11 o'clock? Yeah, you sure can. You know, um, just depends on if the market's being violent or not. If the market's being violent, I I get a little cautious on the red line. You know, it's a feel thing. So, for example, like this is like this is gold right here.
This is kind of a red line trade, but it's also a fivem minutee gold trade.
But, I mean, see how direct price came to here. See how direct price came to here? That's that's that's another telltale sign when price is deliberately moving. Go back to my scenarios.
And I don't mind showing these because I'm just because I'm I'm not trading any of this [ __ ] when the market opens.
See how deliberate we went to that red line? That's your sign, man. That's your sign. That's your sign we are going down. See how and then we broke this pivot to the left. See how deliberate we went there? That's your sign. That's your sign we're going down.
I mean the more delay it's almost like and see so this is almost like a one minute gold line trade and see how it rotated that back up.
There you go, you know. So and that's that's a fivem minute gold fivem minutee red line trade right there. But again keep in mind while I'm mentioning this gold has been open since 820.
Okay? So it's already been open and in the market for over an hour and 20 minutes.
Okay. So, if you take 9:30 and you add an hour and 20 minutes, that's 10:50, i.e. 11:00 to an to an equity market, if I'm making sense.
So, it's it's partly a feel and it's also um you know, knowing your instrument.
I trade the red line in gold earlier than I trade the red line in equities earlier in the day.
Yeah, gold just took right off from that red line. But and also the key is how it got there.
I mean, it didn't meander. See how it meandered here?
Here that there. The meandering is over.
And so you got to understand, let me add this, too, to to answer your question.
All right, Hank.
You got to understand when the sharks are in the tank. So these are sharks.
That's when the candles get big and long. These are sharks.
Go back over here.
See how the candles are getting big and long? Those are sharks. See how the candles are big and long? Those are sharks. When the sharks are in the tank, their intent is to move price one direction and squeeze out the people that are going in the direction that they're going to ultimately drive it.
You got to understand that part. The sharks intentionally move price one way to clean out the stops before they turn it the other way. Okay? So, you know, when when they start from some spot, and you guys might hear me saying this in these videos, when when price starts moving and it's moving very deliberately, you hear me saying in these videos while we're doing these live streams, they're seeking support.
They're seeking support. And all we are supposed to do is look look below that price and see where the support is that they're going to stop and reverse because what we know when they start moving like this versus meandering is that contender is in the house.
[laughter] And when contender is in the house, we want to follow him.
We know contender is in the house and he's our friend.
Okay, he is our friend. If you're in front of him, he's your enemy. But if you understand what he's doing, he becomes your friend because he's the guy that made gold do this.
He's the guy. nobody else. It's the market manipulators that made gold just go up for $1,000 a contract.
He's your friend if you can recognize what he's doing.
When they deliberately moved it down, it's because they're squeezing out the stops of the longs so that they can deliberately run it back up.
So, they're seeking support.
Sometimes it's your red line, sometimes it's a static line, sometimes it's the one minute gold line. It depends um somewhat on the time of day, but most importantly, it depends on the violence of the candles, if they're involved or not.
I always talk about you got to look at the violence of the candles.
The violence of the candles. How violent are those candles?
How violent? Here's one right here I took yesterday for two contracts. I love this trade so much. I took it for two contracts in the ENQ. Look at the violence again. Another red line. Look at the violence from the high to the to the to the red line. Look at the violence.
And then woofmph.
And we had an inside candle there, too.
That was so nice. I mean, I was nailing the NQ red lines yesterday afternoon.
Nailing them. Ch-ching. Ch-ching.
Ch-ching.
I felt like the Fed president, Fed chairman yesterday.
Yeah.
So, wait for the violence.
Just be I I say this all the time. You want price to go to your moving averages. You don't want the moving averages to go to price.
If the moving averages go to price, then you don't have a trade. If price goes to the moving average, then you got a trade.
That's your lesson of the day. Price, like here, had to seek your moving average.
Here, price wasn't seeking your moving average. It was meandering.
And when you can start noticing the difference, that'll make you a successful trader.
That's why I tell I say to people all the time, pick one instrument, learn its personality, you know, then then migrate to other stuff if you want, but you got to learn the personality of the instrument you're trading.
I mean, there are certain things that gold does differently. By the way, here's a long and the ENQ right out of the box if anybody's taken it. Uh, come on ENQ. Go, go, go, NQ. Go.
Man, they are battling that line. That that line.
Yeah, that's not going to be good.
That's not going to be good.
Oh my god. Go NQ.
Damn it. Go NQ.
Go NQ.
Go NQ. Go.
Ah.
Yep. I'm out.
Yeah, no problem.
I just can't stress that enough.
The violence tells you where the trades are because the violence creates the reaction that you're anticipating.
And it's that anticipated reaction that makes you into a trade fast and profitable fast.
Does that make sense?
Yeah, GC's long off the top of the box. Yeah, that's off the top of the box. GC potential right there. Yeah, I missed it obviously because I'm over here trying to get my buddy the ENQ to make me some [ __ ] money today.
There we go. Go NQ go.
Go NQ go.
Jesus. I'm trying to get that ENQ out of the box there. Come on. Let's go. Go.
Go.
Ah, man. Just go. Come on. Thank you.
Ah, it's just going to come knock me out, isn't it? Maybe, maybe not. I need the ES to go up. I'm looking at the ES in the corner of my eye here, and it's just sitting on top of the box. Go, go, go.
Come on. Come on. Come on, NQ. Come on.
Come on, baby. Come on.
Come on.
Accelerate, man. Accelerate.
I'm not going to let it break me down.
If it breaks me down, I'm going to Okay.
All right. It broke me down. All right.
I I'm looking for it now to sit on top of the box.
Yeah, Jeff, that's true. But I would have defended if I if I'm in this gold trade here, I I'd defend this candle, my entry candle, not this one.
You see what I'm You know what I mean? I would just defend this candle because if this candle get when it because it's so deep when it came up through if this candle gives up it's going back down to here. You know what I mean?
Fart So, we're on top of the prior day high.
So, I mean, gold has really nowhere to go other than up in La La Land if it does.
Um, I am going to remove this so I can start looking at the damn equity markets.
You're going to just wander off on me, aren't you? Aren't you?
Aren't you? You piece of [ __ ] You're just gonna wander off on me.
Yeah. If I have if I have length of the candle going up, then I'll just defend that candle. Not the one not the one that's the trigger candle. Jeff, but I got to have length. Like I can't, it can't just be, it can't be coming through from a, you know, from a, you know, the entry, you know, basically the entry spot because hell, I'm going to get caught up in chop, if that makes sense. I [clears throat] don't want to get caught up in chop either.
[ __ ] [ __ ] it.
Woohoo! I received some money today.
Yay!
Somebody just emailed me. They caught the cross of the box in gold for the whole thing and and thanked me.
[laughter] I'm glad I'm glad he did it. I'm glad he got it.
Okay. All right.
Sorry.
Yes, exactly, Jeff. Yeah. As I Yeah.
And the thing is gold is gold is still box or no box. Gold is still one two three four five lower high pivots rotations.
one, two, three, four, five higher high rotation pivots. So gold is h is going to have a very hard time going down because it doesn't have any resistance above it either.
Sorry. Let's see [clears throat] here.
What do we got going on?
[clears throat] Fart God damn it.
[sighs] Sorry, my phone.
Anywhere.
work with the same kind.
All right.
[clears throat] The setting on it is five for me. I use a setting of five.
You go into my indicator. It says it in my description of my video.
Swing right here. It's called swing indicator. I have a strength of five.
They call it strength.
The smaller the strength, the uh the less impactful the pivot rotations. The bigger the strength number you use, the bigger the strength impact of your pivot rotations.
[clears throat] Now, I look for I don't just stare at those pivots.
I look I look within the I look within the price action also and I I don't become completely dependent on them if that makes sense.
[clears throat] Jesus.
DMNQ did what I was what I was afraid it was going to do. It just wandered off.
It just wandered off. [clears throat] So, the only time I'm going to get a trade on it because it's above the high, too. I don't know if any of you know saw the uh earnings report for Dell yesterday. It shot it's it's we're talking about Dell Corporation. Its stock went up 40%.
from yesterday's earnings report for Dell. And when I say 40%, I'm talking about 317 to freaking 400 and some odd dollars, something something crazy.
We're not talking about like $5 to $9.
[laughter] So I need I need NQ to come back and sit on top of this box for a long.
I am staring at uh the YM. Now the YM the YM may actually be doing what you know the YM has been very consistent with this lately. If you guys have noticed it keeps happening. The YM may be crossing the box. It went out. Boom.
You know it may be crossing the box because it has been doing it lately.
It sure as [ __ ] has. It has been crossing the box.
But uh right now the ENQ just keeps melting up. Keeps melting up. Not giving me any entries, nothing.
Is it David? I didn't know that. Okay.
Well, you know, never never let a crisis go to waste, David. You know that.
You know what's funny is that what they'll they'll they'll run the price up and then when the shortage issues over, somehow the price just magically stays there. That's how the housing industry works. [laughter] The ES is just the ES is just sitting uh on top of the box.
It's not really going anywhere.
I mean, it's not going short, but it's not going anywhere.
Of course, this really isn't going anywhere either for the NQ. I mean, let's be honest.
That's why I That's why I'm I'm hoping for the sharks to enter the tank. Now, remember, we got a lot of these Fed idiots talking today. We also had some news at, you know, uh, 9:45. We had, uh, let's see here. We had PMI at 9:45.
You know, we got these Fed Fed idiots talking. But what I want is I want violence to there and then a rotation.
That's what I want. And keep in mind, the more they push this current high up before they do that, the more profitable this trade will be. Remember that.
Remember that.
Okay. The more they push this price up before they do this, the more money we're going to make when it happens.
See, glass half full, not glass half empty.
What's a good example of that?
Right here.
Not there. Sorry.
right here.
Right to the level and to the level.
NQ has a tendency to run to certain spots and then turn. So, if we get it to run to here, it should run right back up to here.
I'll be right back.
Oh, hey. NQ just might might have heard me talking about it.
Might have heard me talking about it.
Might have heard me talking about it.
See you crew junkie.
There we go.
Let's get Let's get some Let's get some freaking movement. Move. Move. NQ. Move.
I'll be honest, the price action this morning is freaking dog [ __ ] Look at RTY.
Look at YM. Now, YM is still still doing what I said.
It's still potentially crossing crossing the box, but it's doing it like gold did earlier.
Very slowly. [laughter] Very [clears throat] slowly.
Well, if this NQ runs down to here, that ES is most likely going to go inside the box.
But I mean, we really need that NQ to roll down. We really do because there's no room in here to trade.
There's just no money. So, we need this to come down.
boy. Oil is just off and running. That's not good.
Yeah, we really need that NQ to to come down. I mean there's I mean you know if this is not a trade but if you had taken this trade because we went through the bottom and then through the top 16 here I mean there's no money here. We need we need movement. We need this to move.
[clears throat] Oh my god.
I'm gonna I'm gonna literally laugh my ass off if this freaking YM crosses the damn box. I swear to God. It'll be like the third time this week it's done the exact same thing where it just stuck its head out, came back in, and then 40 minutes later crossed the box.
So, kind of like I said, for this to get to here, this is going to have to break here.
So, what I would hope is that it would find support at the same time this lands here, which could be our fivem minutee gold line, something along those lines for the ES [clears throat] Man, gold is just still climbing.
But again, it's just meandering.
[ __ ] Excuse me. Excuse me, guys.
Get over here. Come here.
>> Come here. Come here.
Get in here.
Huh?
Where?
Get in here.
Come on now.
Sorry about that little [clears throat] dog incident I had to deal with.
[laughter] Uh, it's a it's the trade tool. It's in the description.
It's not mine.
A subscriber made it.
That's it there. A subscriber made it.
It's not my tool, but it's my trading.
It's my trade entry tool.
All right. Now, the sharks. Oh, man. The sharks could might be friendly to us and bring it all the way down here. That'd be nice, too.
That'd be really nice. Give us even bigger potential trade.
All right, so we're on top of the gold line here in the ES. We are underneath the box, which is stressful [sighs] because this if we take this long, this has to get back outside that box, which is going to be a pissing match.
Uh, but would you quit running away?
Just sit there.
God dang. NQ, quit running away.
All right, go down. Go down.
This is not This is not a good scenario, by the way, because because this is below here. I'm just going to let it go for now. I'm going to see if it sets up for a W. I'm sorry about that. I'm just freaking I got distracted by the dogs and [ __ ] Yeah, there it is.
[ __ ] dogs.
There it is. That's the trade I talked about over here for [ __ ] 15 minutes.
If you're in this, don't short change yourself. Take it to here. Don't shortch change yourself.
I'm going to see if I can get a W.
[clears throat] with this price above there. If I can come back down and then rotate, that'll be even better for me.
This is very conflicting. I mean, it's trying to push it long now, but I've got no place to do it from here.
Jesus.
All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. Give me a W. Give me a W. Give me a W. Give me a W.
See, now we have a candle, a wick above this line over here.
Okay, now stay Stay. Stay. Let's go long. Come on.
Jesus.
No. Not. No. No. No. No. No.
All right. Well, that's not going to work. This going below there and not coming out and sitting on that is that's just not good.
Yeah. I always, you know, Yeah. about the W thing. Uh uh if you'll notice yesterday those pictures I took of the red line trade in NNQ, the trade I made the most money on was an M pattern right off that red line.
Beautiful, beautiful setup.
>> [sighs] >> All right. Well, we these may both hit the midband at the same time. See, right now they're they're you know, again, I go back to that analogy. These pullbacks are seeking some form of support.
It's the support in the rotation that we need to seek.
Well, the ENQ outran the ES to support to to one potential support.
Jesus. Wow.
All right.
Maybe somebody found out that Dell fudged their numbers. [laughter] [laughter] [clears throat] I'm sure Nancy knew before any of us.
This is pissing me off. I needed this to come down with it.
See, this is just sitting out in space.
Now I'm frustrated.
I need this to Okay, there we go. Maybe this. All right, there we go. Maybe this. There we go. All right. All right.
All right. Violence. That's what kept me out of this trade right here was this was in space.
I don't want this to be completely in dead space. If it's seeking a target, I need it to get there because it's going to drag this with it.
Yeah. Well, it did a crossover retest of the box.
The RTY right here. See, it came out up and then bam.
It's too late to just be an out of the box, but yeah, it did an out, created space, went up, boom, there.
All right. So, I'm looking at a potential long here in the NQ because the ES finally found support.
And there we go. Come on. Now go.
Now go.
Now I need you to go. I need you to go.
Come on.
You both found support. Now let's let's let's make some money out of it. All right. There we go.
sit on your hands and wait.
Now, the ES is not freaking moving, which is pissing me off. See the ES over here to our left? It's not actually responding like we want it to.
I'm going to put that there because of that. God dang it. ES, I need you to go up. Why are you stopping?
We need the ES to go up.
Yeah, it just it it didn't do it. I squeezed my stop. If this had been running, I would have left more room here. Does that make sense?
You'll notice the candle, all their candles match. See that? Does everybody see the the consistency of the candles matching? Does everybody see that?
Okay. So, when this one did not take off like this one, that the fear is this one's going to collapse.
If this ran off and this kind of lagged, I'd be okay. Okay. I'd give it a little room, hoping this would drive it. Does that make sense?
Now, we may get another we may get a like a ugly ass W here. So, I'm going to pay attention still. The NQ really wanted to go long. You guys saw that.
The NQ really wanted to go long, but the freaking ES just wouldn't go. Now, don't just run off.
Oh, you're the ES. You're really getting on my nerves today. I mean, ES is really getting on my nerves.
I mean that that's a big move for the ES right there. Come on, man. What are you doing?
[ __ ] Yeah, the ES is getting on my freaking nerves now. I'm not taking this. I'm not taking this.
I'm not taking this.
>> [sighs] >> Okay.
Yep.
Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.
Okay. Stay. Just stay.
Just stay. Would you quit running up?
[ __ ] hey, would you quit running up?
They're really trying to hold it high of that that red line, man.
It's pissing me off. I want it to consolidate here so I can have a small stop loss and then a long. That's why I'm getting frustrated when the candles are getting too big. I want it to consolidate and then go long because I don't trust it. Yeah, there we go. I I I didn't trust it anyways. All right, so let's look at gold. Gold is about ready to test the top of the box.
I'm going to look at that for right now.
Everybody see that? I mean, that's that's some violent deliber. [laughter] Holy cow. That is a violent deliberate action right there. If if you want a definition of violence, that's it.
So, what we need it to do still is to pierce these levels. Come on.
Before I look for a long, I need it to pierce these levels. Pierce right here.
Come on.
Don't run out of gas on me here.
Don't run out of gas on me here. Come on, gold. Come on. A you far noogan.
Come on. Come on. Keep going.
Keep going. All right, there you go. We need it to We need it to confirm. See how it confirmed here? That's what we need it to do. We need it to confirm the down move is over. There we go. All right. All right.
Now, [clears throat] they they they've matched each other over here, left and right. That's interesting.
And we need it to rotate from here. So, I'm going to wait my 30 seconds.
No, no, no, no, no. Don't go on me yet.
Come on. Sit. Sit.
[clears throat] Well, there's my order. But boy, oof.
[sighs and gasps] Wow. All right. All right. All right.
I'm not doing that.
I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that.
Now, hold on. What are we What are we doing here? What are we doing here? [ __ ] Um, right off the prior day high in the ES.
Okay.
Damn it. I needed to pay attention to that. [clears throat] I needed to pay attention to that.
Come on back down. Come on back down.
[sighs] You know, sometimes I wonder about people.
Do you want me to email the colors? No.
I want you to have me guess the colors of your house.
[laughter] Do you want me to email you the color choices? No. I want I want you to have me guess.
I want you to have me guess.
[clears throat] And whenever I guess, you just go with it. How about that?
I missed this trade because these candles are too big for me.
might get a W pattern. I don't know.
I mean, do you want me to email you the colors?
Well, I emailed you the brochure and the freaking list to to to, you know, to fill out. I mean, how do you want me to how do you want me to know what the colors are for your house?
I I I'm I'm just frustrated right now. I I should have hit that. Well, obviously it's after the fact, but that these these the candle in that NQ was just too damn big.
Even this candle in this ES, I'm not quite sure what's going on because this candle in the ES is four plus points points in the ES on a Friday.
Oh, yeah. You you Ian, your your grandmother was a rather one one of the rare breeds of smart people. [laughter] All right, let me look at this uh let me look at this potential short in the NQ here off this red line.
[clears throat and cough] I'm going to look at that. I'm going to look at a short in the NQ potentially.
The ES is below the red line. The NQ is below the red line.
We might get a rotation here.
This would be a good spot to take a short. Come on. Let's go. There you go.
Now go. Now go.
Just go.
I made sure everybody agreed with everybody. Now let's freaking go.
Come on, baby. Come on.
Look at the freaking ES outrun you. What are you doing, NQ?
How is the ES outrunning you?
Look at the ES outrun you. This is embarrassing.
Oh my god. You let an elephant outun a freaking outrun a rabbit.
Yep.
You let an elephant outun a rabbit, frustrating.
[laughter] It's going to go down.
It's going to go down.
It has no place to go. It has to go down.
Oh my god, I'm going to get knocked out again. Yep. [ __ ] it. All right, I'm done. I'm done for the day.
I'm done for the day for now.
I think there's too much there's too much noise in the background right now.
Hell, there's another one of these Fed people speaking at 12:00.
This this prior day high right here.
This prior day high right here. That was that was a killer right there. That was a killer right there.
That was a killer right there.
This trade right here.
And look at that.
By the way, this NQ, just side note, came out of the box back up. So, it's, you know, probably going to cross the box.
It's probably going to cross the box.
Good job, gambler.
Yeah, it's pretty bad when I get in a uh when I get in an NQ trade and the uh and the ES is moving faster than it.
[laughter] It's pretty damn bad when that happens.
When I look over and my ES red candle is bigger than my than my NQ red candle, I'm like, you know what? You're cursed today, Bob.
The NQ is pissed at you because you beat the hell out of it yesterday afternoon because you stole a freaking bucketload of money yesterday afternoon. [laughter] The the gods are coming back after you.
[snorts] Oh my god. [clears throat] The gods are coming back after you, Bob.
This is chop sooie right here, man.
All right, let's look here. I want to take pay attention here for a second.
problem is my my points of interest for rotation the candles off of them have been just so big instead of consolidating they're just big I would like this to come down to the prior day high personally Well, the ES crossed the box. Look at that. Inside the box. Boom.
Bam. I don't know if anybody took that trade, but it did. It crossed the box.
It actually crossed the box. Son of a gun.
Came inside this candle right here.
Created space. Went up and then wham.
There you go. Okay, we've hit the prior day high. [clears throat] >> [sighs] >> Don't go up yet. Don't go up yet. Please don't go up yet. Oh, you [ __ ] piece of [ __ ] Sit. Oh my god.
See, these candles are just jacking so high.
Sit.
Okay.
inside candle to my left. All right, we went through the bottom.
See if we go back up through the top. We went through the bottom. If we go up through the top, I'm willing to let the candle be large.
That's not going to happen. Okay. All right. Well, we may have been going to test this low. I don't know. Prior prior day close. No, we're still going.
Interesting.
Interesting. It's just very interesting.
It's very interesting that this is happening.
Why is it interesting, Bob? Because the freaking Dow is blowing through the priority. I mean, it's off above the priority high, still going long, and all these other three instruments have gone below it.
Very interesting.
I'm gonna kill this.
So, you got that, David. That's a good one.
[laughter] I made a lot of money yesterday, gambler.
I made a lot of money yesterday.
I was showing people my trades yesterday from yesterday.
That was one of them.
Red line in the NQ.
Uh, hold on.
That was another one. Red line in the NQ.
I was killing it yesterday afternoon.
just killing it off the red line in the NQ.
All right. Hold on here. What's going on?
Okay.
It's very confusing, man.
This is very confusing how these guys are conflicting with the YM this late in the day.
It's very confusing.
Shh. Yeah, I'm I'm I'm baffled right now.
Like I said, did somebody find out that Dell's numbers were fake? [laughter] Yeah. Yesterday afternoon was fire.
The funny part was the day before in the afternoon I had to go out I had to go out of my office for work and Jim was texting me because he was nailing it. I guess that'd be Wednesday afternoon.
So yesterday I was nailing trades and texting him and he he texted me back and he says, "Now you're just showing off."
[laughter] Now you're just showing off.
It was a big day yesterday.
[laughter] It was a very big day.
>> [clears throat] >> Yeah, I'm looking at it.
I wouldn't be doing a one minute gold line in oil, but I'd be doing potentially a long off the prior day close.
I I'm I'm just baffled that NQ and ES just keep rolling over.
Just confusing right now.
I mean, the RTY's been down all freaking morning, but you know, it doesn't tend to have anything to do with market direction anyways. But Yeah, that may be it, Ian.
Some profit taking at the end of the month. Just may be it before before the lull of summer trading.
See you David before the lull of summer trading might be taking their profits.
There's definitely profits to be taken in the NQ. That's for damn sure.
Freaking NQ has been fire.
the last month or so and man I'm Yeah, it's been fire.
Oh man, what's funny is it seems like I'm just talking out loud here, but it seems like the ENQ has really fired up the ES. I mean, these are some big moves for the ES.
Seriously, I mean, these are some big candles for the ES.
It's almost like the ENQ has fired up the the ES, you know.
Sure. Sure is moving.
All right. So, let's see here. Cross prior close. Yeah, if I get inside candle here, I might take a short. I got to be a smaller candle, though. Come on, guys. Quit effing around with me.
All right. Off the overnight open would be good too.
Off the prior day high would be better.
Oh Jesus.
The hell, man. These candles are just freaking ridiculous.
It's just I I I guess I'm fortunate that candle was big because it kept me out of this. But like this rotation now makes like you know what's the point?
I don't know. I'm going to wait till this afternoon, guys, and see if I can uh Good job, ice cold trader. I'm going to uh see if I can uh duplicate yesterday afternoon later on today.
And uh I'm just going to call it a day for right now. Everybody have a good day. [clears throat] Don't give back all your money where you got it from. You got it from here. Don't give it back. Talk to you guys later.
Have a nice weekend.
Bye.
