Successful futures trading requires understanding market structure through zone boxes, pivot points, and momentum indicators, combined with strict psychological discipline including patience, proper risk management, and avoiding emotional responses like FOMO and revenge trading. Traders should plan their trades before entering and stick to their plan, recognizing that the market is designed to trigger emotional weaknesses and that consistent profitability comes from disciplined execution rather than chasing every move.

ASIA Session NQ Futures | Live Precision Setups & Market Structure
Added:Good evening traders. Vendy here with Futures Trader Elite with Special K.
Trading tonight in the Asia session.
Hope everybody's doing well. I want to start a little bit later tonight that way I could get all logged in. You know how uh I can't get logged in until right after 5:00.
That way my screen wasn't froze and everybody was waiting on me or I just started at 5:15.
But I got everything situated.
Hope everybody's having a good night. If you're here, let me know in chat.
Let's see if we can run them likes up on the stream tonight. the Hey, what's going on room beats? Uh, Special K is here with us in the chat.
Special K, that's uh my wife trading live with us tonight.
For anybody new that don't know that All right.
So they gapped up overnight. You can see uh they gapped up, came straight back, gave it back real fast, it looks like.
Uh let me cruise over to the higher time frame charts. Take a look at a few things.
Oh, Swang Swang said he's here. We can start now. Yeah, we was waiting on you, Swang. That's what I was waiting for.
See if we can't blow this out of the water tonight. Just see what we can come up with. uh currently on this downtrend.
If they hold, if they do hold the downtrend, I'm looking for them to at least try to tap 700 to the downside for the time being. I would like to see them come there and then decide if they want to protect the whole number for the bounce.
Uh let me cruise through here to the 15 minute, 30 minute, have a look at a few things.
Okay. So boxes I kind of like uh if depending on what they do here kind of like um kind of like this right here probably somewhere area maybe come down and sweep the five minute 50 kind of like this area here to protect this low to the to the left here. Uh, might not get it, but I'm going to wait it out. You know, not in no hurry. We still have some room to the downside on the momentum indicator to push on down if that's what they want to do.
Kind of interesting. We got a whole lot between say between 685 and 700.
If they don't save that the from 685 to 700 to 705, you know, 1020 point range right through here. If they don't protect here and say they get below this box, we're going to have to think about uh being thinking the bias is going to be short if they get through it. If they get through it. So, let's give them time to test it. See what they want to do.
We have any new members with us tonight in chat? Let us know in chat.
Just getting started here.
Looking to see if we can get the Asia session to give us some moves.
Guess maybe I'll have to throw in the uh invite to the discord in case anybody new comes in or is already here.
Maybe want to join the discord.
throw in a link there.
Like our delay tonight on the Asia session a lot better than session. Maybe not.
If anybody out on chat, if you have an idea, some kind of zone you're looking for for some kind of pullback or something that you're uh mapping out on your charts, let us know in chat. Let us all have a look at it.
Let us all look.
Remember, we run it up to 25 likes on the stream tonight. I'm going to give away a copy of the Trader Mindset book.
And then if we hit that 25 mark, uh, and we and we are pretty busy, then we'll do another giveaway of the book or a different book. Who knows? We'll do another giveaway once we get past 25 likes on the stream and keep building off that.
Y'all are sitting around 10.
Feel like you're lagging over there.
All we're doing, we're going to be aiming for some base hits. Not looking for any home runs. At least right now I'm not. Hopefully I don't get a little wild and go too big on my size or something. I plan on just going for base hits.
Just never know though.
Maybe I get a little kind of uh kind of slow. not really worth getting into, but it does look like they're trying to build a base here for maybe a push higher. But, you know, really need to take out 730 to really know, you know, they need to close above 7:30, then work their way to the 30 minute high, then possibly, you know, we could be thinking about that. Otherwise, I mean, I'd be more interested in the in the long play if we can have us a decent little pullback here to our box.
I shook up the magic eightball and uh it gave me some numbers to draw a box at.
So then I just drew a box on the chart.
Okay, everybody should own a magic eightball.
It's the FTE NQ MNQ magic eightball.
Pretty quiet out there.
Nobody has any levels they want to discuss.
Yeah. What's ATR at one?
Maybe it'll pick up here in a little bit. Until then, we're going to cut up and try to uh enjoy the uh evening.
See what we can do. yours truly. Guess what I did? I caught most of this leg right here. I caught most of that leg in power hour and made about 300 bucks or so. Took five, scaled out of most of them real fast. That way I only had chump. Wish I had five for the whole run, but uh I already cut the content and the shorts posted on YouTube. It came out at 4:00, 5:00 market time. Uh if you uh see it, like and comment on it. Tell me if you would have to taken the trade. I tell you what I was looking at in power hour when I was looking at it because Special K was over my shoulder. We was looking at it and what we was coming into was where's that 740? I'm sorry, not not all the way. I did trade this leg, but I traded this breakout break a structure continuation trade right here because the high on the day was 740, something like that. And as soon as this broke, I played that break for that drive. And we had all that imbalance that was up overhead. I don't know if y'all remember, if you was on the New York session, we had a bunch of boxes here of a 4hour imbalance and 15 minute. We have a little 15-minute left up here above the 4 hour zone, but yeah, caught that.
It was a nice trade, but I did trade a whole lot of this leg scalping it in and out, in and out, in and out in the funded account at that. I was unfunded.
I didn't do as good a special K today.
I told her once she transfers her stuff to her wallet and take profit, she needs to add it to the pin or to the payout thing in Discord payout channel.
Wang, I like how you use the letter eight and nice. Makes me think that you believe I'm using the magic eightball.
Eight ball.
Where's the party at? Is the party over here?
Special K's in it. Short. What's your entry price? Special special K is in at 7:21 while you caught the candle, the death candle that's about to be put in.
How many did you take?
What with a eightball? Come on now.
Don't make don't make me get special K.
Take a picture of me with my magic eightball at my desk and put it in Discord.
Maybe it's a not a magic eight ball.
Maybe it's a crystal ball.
All right, looks like they're headed down our zone here. Let's see how they're going to react when I get down here.
See if it's going to be worthwhile.
We're getting in that 700 hole number they're sweeping.
I kind of like this uh box down in here, though.
and uh prepared to take a trade here.
Do what I want to do.
Uh 39. If it don't hold 396, I'm going be looking at uh I mean um 693. If it don't hold 693 area, I'll be looking at 685.
85. Yeah, I like this down here. See if they protect this one hour low right here. And uh maybe we can catch something out of there. Maybe get us a bounce. Maybe uh you know what? I'm going to frontload that area.
front load this area because I think uh we might get a first reaction bounce here. We might not. But we don't. I'll cut my trade in the red. Y'all know me.
I like to go red before I go green anyway.
Huh?
Oh man, they wicked down there too and they didn't get me. There. Don't leave them at train station.
Do it.
Might get left.
But now I'm going to wait. I'll wait and see come back down.
Give him one more stop.
If you're enjoying the streams, make sure you don't forget to smash that like button.
The further we can them likes help push it out there further on YouTube can help our community grow bigger. We uh the bigger we get, the better giveaways I end up being able to do. And that's really the goal, you know, get to the stage where we can be throwing around evouts. people win e out. Some other good good things like they might be coming back to get me right. Come on, get me. Come on, get me.
Pick it up. Pick it up.
He's scared.
pick me up. I'm in at 68450.
I'm going to hold on for now. See what they want to do. Uh, I will cut my trade at about 640. If it goes against me, I will give them that much room. Come down if it goes against me to determine if I want to add to my position or cut my trade about 640.
What what I'm going to be looking here with them picking me up here is for maybe a drive back into 7 710 to 7:15 area at least got the 50 minute uh I mean the 50 EMA on the one minute at about 718 right so anywhere probably between 710 and 720 is kind of what I would be looking for on a drive back up if they're going to bounce this here and then if not if they break through I would expect them to maybe try to try to tackle possibly uh 660 next they break that then about 640 five or so. So, I would I'd be willing to figure it out then at that point in time because I got some areas of com uh support where you know they they should try to bounce if they keep going down 660 45. If 645 don't get something and I would have to have to cut my trade and a reposition and try to get my red back.
If I get put in a red already in the red now I'm over here with sweat dripping down my forehead and I'm shaking my eightball real hard trying to figure out what I'm going to do next.
And all that magic eightball keeps telling me is maybe maybe. All I want is a yes or no. You know what I mean?
I don't think it's a bad idea to be in it at long. What are you in it at?
Oh, look. You How'd you get a better entry of me? You You bought, didn't you?
You added when it dropped. What' I tell you about that earlier? We had this conversation earlier.
I'd be up here preaching to y'all about dollar cost averaging and stuff and likes doing.
>> Special K does the exact opposite of what I teach when she does it and then tried to get me to do it earlier when she was looking over my shoulder. I said, "I don't dollar cost average into no trade like that."
Can't say nothing to her though. She put 1,700 in her fun today or something like that.
All traders are different.
Anybody trying to take a long out of the zone down here that we're in now? If you are, let me know. Special K, put your hand down. We're not in a classroom.
We know you're in it long.
When are you not in a trade?
>> Oh, you got that 50% consistent. Is that eval?
>> Yeah, I'm not in my funed.
Um, I might touch a funded on here. Not. It just depends on the trade setup.
>> We're going We're going to have to spread the word that we're throwing the party on Asia session with the Vendian special case. Where's everybody at?
Well, Junth is tomorrow, not tonight.
A lot of people might have done started their 3-day weekend and said, "You know what? I ain't trading Asia session.
Started my 3-day weekend."
Oh, man. This thing's going to start going against me.
Babe Broom Beach wants to know what special K strategy is.
I think her strategy is buy low, sell high, or sell high and cover low when she's short.
She trades a whole lot like I do. But, uh, she does she throws on more risk than I do, I think. Most most day or most days he's probably a lot riskier than I am.
>> I'm not >> I I have my moments. She's out. Did you stop out in the green? I'm following my trade plan. I said that if it want to go against me, I'd wait and see when it hits a couple of these other levels.
Uh she trading micros.
She's more profitable than I am because what's mine is hers and what's hers is hers.
So, I mean, she's definitely more profitable.
They can't hear you.
She said she learned everything she knows from me, but I know that's a lie cuz you ain't never seen the way she dollar cost average in a trade.
It's like anybody else that hangs out and anybody that might ever learn anything from me. You're gonna take what I teach and you're gonna make it your own and add your own things to it. And that's what she did. I mean, it's to be expected. No two traders are the same.
You know what I mean?
You know how it is. I say one thing, it goes in one ear and out the other with her.
>> Anybody that's married knows what I'm talking about.
Uh, listen to me, woman. What are you doing?
about them drinks. Is the bar open?
Oh, we pretty good.
Pretty good.
I hope it's okay with everybody that I'm having cocktails while I trade the Asia session. I need to make my title something more like that.
cocktails with Vendy and Special K on the Asia.
If we take a 100 point leg down, I'm going to dollar cost average to 70.
Uh I'm going to blow this chart up. I'm gonna pass this eval.
Well, it's my fault because I've already been in the green a handful of times and I hadn't taken any profit. But I'm not trying to scalp out. I'm trying to stick to what I was talking about. Know what I mean? So, my next level, I mean, if they want to keep going down, I'm going to be looking at 660. All there is to it. And uh and I'll draw the boxes on Magic Eightball gave me the number. So, I'm going to be looking at this right here.
And then uh it won't let you transfer.
Why?
But did it let you go through the process?
Oh.
Oh. Well, I got you. Yeah. Yeah. And then I'm going to be looking at something like uh Oh, who knows? I'm going to be looking at something about like this right here.
And then that's going to be kind of my line in the sand. I'll cut my trade at whatever my loss is if we lose this zone down here.
I'll let him.
Oh, no. You're not trading your funded in this mess. Dollar cost averaging in all that mess whenever you feel like it.
Special case that it's going down a second box.
Well, let me shake the magic a ball.
I don't care if it comes down here and fills this 15-minute imbalance.
Look at this. We got 15 minute imbalance. How far in the red would I be right there with three? Man, it won't be too bad. I can take that hit and get it back.
Swang says go now. Whatever. Swang.
Oh my gosh. Why are y'all trying to make me uh take a beating on the chart tonight? Man, I'm sweating so bad. Can you bring me a towel?
>> I don't want that dirty towel dogs been all over.
No dane slobber on me.
Downtown. Swing says going downtown.
Going to the dark side of the moon. Huh?
>> Okay.
>> You think I'm scared to take a loss on stream? Won't be the first time.
And it real. Keeping it real.
Thanks for the cocktail, honey.
Wow, that's really stout. What are you trying to do to me?
Oh yeah, I had even taken a drink. I was just although typically that's how you got to treat it. Don't ever let my wife be your bartender.
You better go make your own drink.
Since when are you having to go to work tomorrow making?
I'm streaming till 3 in the morning.
I know I did. Nobody was. It was very few people on there. I think I landed a couple more subs, though. I streamed one night uh Tuesday night when we had that stream. I was so wired I couldn't go to sleep. I went and took a shower, come back out and got on stream. It was like early in the morning. I didn't even sleep. I didn't go to sleep till last night since Tuesday night.
I'm not doing that again. There were some people on there, but it was really slow.
>> No. What?
Anybody out there is enjoying the stream, make sure you smash that like button. Smash that like button. Helps us grow the FTE community.
Room Beats, are you on quite often and just uh being quiet in the background? I noticed you've been uh chatting. I hadn't It seemed like I hadn't seen you in chat as much as you was in chat there for a while.
They never did get me to come on my funded futures uh to host that time.
Thought you was going to wait.
You ain't got nothing else to trade.
Well, you don't put too much money in that take.
You can put another 300 in there, man. Maybe you should be running the stream.
Oh, you just watching the chart. That's not my chart. Room beats. That's the magic eightball chart. I do what the magic eightball says.
Oh, somebody else got the spot. It's all good. Do what, baby?
>> Uh, ain't hus somebody's brother or cousin or something like that. Room beats.
I think I remember talking about that.
Uh, yeah. Cousin. Method. Meth methodical man's cousin.
Every time I say that username, I want to say method man.
Methodical man.
I don't get no spots.
Other than sunspots.
Oh man, I ain't even paying attention to my chart. I'm just 100 but now I'm 100 in a red and I'm down to my other my other zone box here.
So when's that close? We got a eight.
Uh I guess I'll wait till it comes down here. Should I reverse reverse and go short?
I shouldn't. Hold up. Let me ask the magic eightball.
I hope you do. I need a couple of them because I'm sure I'm going to throw one or two of them against the floor.
Bro, stop trading and sleep.
What up, FX? What? What do you mean? Was you on there when I was up there on 3 o'clock in the morning or something?
I think I recognize your name. You new here, FX?
uh they're just some that I drew on that uh areas of uh that I expect to see maybe some support off higher time frame. They're nothing uh important.
I uh like I said, room beats, I'm telling you, everybody should have a uh magic eightball.
I got the magic eightball that has all the numbers of NQ and you shake it up and it'll give you a high and low of where to draw your box.
Oh man, we appreciate appreciate you being here FX just hanging out right now. Tell everybody, you know, tell another trader. If you're enjoying the stream, smash that like button. When we get to 25 likes, we're going to give a copy of the Trader Mindset book away and make sure smash that like and subscribe on YouTube.
Hit them bell notifications and set them that way you'll know every time we go live. We live stream five days a week the New York open and then right now twice a week uh uh Tuesday and Thursday.
It's 3:00 a.m. nighttime where you're at right now. it where I'm at. It is 5:38 p.m. in the evening.
>> Uh what country in FX?
>> So it's uh 6:38 market time here where I'm at.
Pakistan. Awesome. That's cool.
What I love about trading >> brings people together from all around the world.
Everybody in the same mission.
Look at that. They they spiked down there trying to act like they going to get the mother box. They said here we're going to put Vindy in the red some more.
See how he likes that. See if we can make him sweat a little bit.
I'm just one good trade away from getting it back if I got to cut it. I mean, what's that? What's few hundred?
FX 17 years old. Trade crypto forex started learning trading during co when he was 13. Wow.
Wow, that's pretty awesome, FX cuz it takes uh it takes a long time uh to become a uh consistent profitable trader. Uh the more screen time you can put in, the better you'll be. Uh because it's not only just about learning, you know, it's about it's about doing.
Sometimes the best way to learn something is to actually be doing it. I just realized this. I got a box to the left of my chart here that is almost in the same spot as this one I drew right here. I drew that on when I was trading in power hour today cuz I also caught this leg right here. This box was I scooted over. It was over here like this and I caught this leg out of that box uh in power hour. Take that one off.
What happened?
I was probably It takes time sometimes.
Did you just buy one or activate it?
It's a funded.
>> Oh man, Special K done activated a bulletinox funded. Trying to do some damage.
Well, FX, I try to do what I can on the stream and I do try to answer a lot of questions while I'm on stream, but uh we cut up a lot, but if people want to go deeper into what I do and everything, FTE precision trading courses tied to the stream, you should be able to look just below it. And I have a few things hooked to the stream. I don't know. I got the precision trading courses hooked to it tonight and the uh Killzone Oscar uh Killzone indicator for uh Trading View Ninja Traders hooked to it. Also got the Discord you can join. We put a um link for Discord is in the chat already. Might have to scroll up a little bit.
All right. I need to see about if I'm going to add to my trade or if they're going to come on down to my other zone here. I'm going to go on and add right there.
Look at this. Come on, bulls. Let's go.
Don't you turn around on me.
Wait, don't got too deep. Don't go too deep.
Go Bulls some buy pressure.
Do it.
If that if it don't work out, then I'm uh going to be hurting myself pretty good here. No doubt about it. But I'll still I'll still hold it for a while.
I'll let it come back on down this box even with what I got there.
How many micros can I get? 70. I'm just kidding. I'm not going to do that.
Uh, not going to do that.
Come on, bulls. All right, then.
Look like we might be getting a bounce there. It might be a little bit of uh They're ready. They're trying to get there. They're trying to get there.
They're looking for a drive back up to about um probably about close to 700.
They're going to They don't have to, but they should be finding somewhere even if they come on down and tap his zone here.
Should be finding uh a bounce here.
Hey, what's going on, Trade Viz? Uh good morning. It's good evening here.
Good morning for you. Uh glad to see you. Glad you're here.
I don't I don't do anything with order flow uh anymore. FX got used to messing around with a little bit. Um uh trade viz uh basically everything I do is based on structure. You know, we like to look for pullbacks, uh precision entry zones, zone boxes, pivot points, uh sometime sometimes some mean reversion, uh just uh just a whole lot of things, you know, uh during the New York session, we do a lot of the orb stuff with the 15-minute orb and looking for previous day high. And look at this candle uh they're trying to put in here.
We're going to get this push um So, and there's there's a lot more to it. The precision trading course is tied to the the stream, you know, I don't want to get my whole night detailed into all that stuff, but uh that's just some of the some of the basics of it.
If you're new here, uh don't forget to smash that like button on the stream. If we get to 25 likes tonight, I'm going to give away a copy of the trader mindset book, psychology book. And then uh make sure you smash that like and subscribe on YouTube and uh set that bell notifications. That way you always know when we go live.
Man, they gave us a nice green candle there. It looked like they was ready to try to make his push. Got really close to other zone here.
I'm still looking. And I'm looking for them to try to come or on the uh back to the 700 area. I mean, possibly back up into this shaded this box with rectangle we drew up here. Uh not trade viz. I only use prop firms, but yes, I do have funded accounts. Tonight I'm trading evals. A lot of times I will only trade my funded accounts in the New York session. Uh just depends on the setups, I guess.
Maybe if I had the right thing in the Asia session, I may uh get into the funded, but I'm not going to use my own capital when I can pay very little money and use uh someone else's capital.
I only trade futures.
I used to trade stocks and options for a long time and when I switched to futures, I quit doing the others solely to focus on futures and I probably won't never go back to the other ones.
I might, but I at this point in time I have no intentions on going back to trading stocks and futures.
Whole lot more work involved as a trader if you're going to do stocks and options.
Whole lot uh more work on on the uh surface. I mean, always keeping track of stocks. Uh always having to deal with uh options and their expire dates, which I I really traded zero DTE options for the most part. I would swing options a little bit, but not as much as I did zero DTE because uh as far as for me anyway, my my opinion about futures versus options is options you have to worry about the time decay. You can make just as good of money or much money trading futures and you don't have to worry about time decay or using your own capital. I mean, well, I guess you can you can trade options with some props, but uh with futures, I can focus on one instrument. I don't trade anything else other than ENQ and MNQ. Every now and again, I'll trade something else, but uh it's easier to focus on one instrument.
I only have to worry about drawing my my stuff up on one instrument um instead of worrying about what every other instrument is doing and this this and that. Uh, I'm trade right now. I'm trading Bullanox accounts. They, uh, currently 89% off for the option one accounts, 75% off for the option two accounts. Use code FTE for option one, FTE2 for option two. Option one accounts have trail and draw down, option two have end of day.
So, for my preference, I just enjoy trading futures better than I did the others, you know. Come on, bulls. Let's get this push. Are we finally going to get this push? Watch this. Move my average down when they trigger. Trigger.
Trigger. Trigger. Come on now. Push.
Come on.
Come on, bulls. What y'all doing?
You know you want to. You know you won't do.
Come on.
Such a tease.
Come on. Look at that. Look at that.
Beautiful. Beautiful.
Man, I tell you what, patience pays.
Patience pays.
Patience pays. Patience pays.
Patience pays, not activity.
Uh, I'm not going all the way back through it. Trade viz. I've been talking about this trade ever since I've been in it. Um, I I actually walked through this entire trade from the very beginning when I got in at long, which was way up here somewhere.
Wherever I got in, I got in in this box up here and I dollar cost average into the trade because I said, I'm willing I'm willing to let this go against me all the way back to these zones. I drew I got in in this zone up here. I said, I'm willing to hold it down here because if it reacts the way I like, I'll add to my position.
So, when it did, I added. And then I said, well, this was my line. All this was drawn. I didn't just draw this on. I mean, I already had this planned out.
I'm pretty sure anybody that's been on that seen it from the beginning, right?
I did walk through this whole trade.
It's not like I'm making anything up.
I'm just saying, you know, it's there.
That's why we're live. about it and doing everything uh sort of that I was thinking it might do. At least what the magic eightball said it was going to.
You know, the magic eightball don't lie.
Move this a little tighter. You know, I didn't capitalize as much as I would have liked on this trade. Uh yeah, just uh give her a rewind there if you don't mind doing that. I mean, you can see because I really go over everything there.
Considering I ended up 12 deep though, I should be capitalizing a little more.
But green is green, so that's all I care about.
Could have went a lot worse for me.
And I said, I'm only worried about getting base hits. I'm not trying to hit no home runs. I like to let base hits compound and take payouts that way. I'm not a one hit wonder type guy. I'm not trying to get out here and make $5,000 uh every day on the live stream and at least not on one trade. Got to put up too much risk in order to make that happen every day. Been there, done that when I was trading in Q or trading minis.
Uh you Yeah, I mean FX it I mean they're out there. There's still some out there, but not all props are the same at all. I mean, I've traded with uh probably at least six different props and I've taken payouts from probably just about every one of them. Never had a problem.
>> Yeah.
I mean, you hear you hear a lot of stuff about a lot of different places, you know, a lot of different props. So, >> yeah. Yeah, I mean we all we've all had some kind of experience of some one or at least one probably. I did, but I'm not going to speak about it. And uh it it just is what it is.
All right. I was really looking for this to drive back up to the 50 EMA on the one minute here. But really what I'd really like to see is about uh about 700, maybe 715. I'm going to take this up to up here in this structure. Just give it a little time to breathe here and see if they do find the strength to push through up here. because if they can push and get above that 5 minute 50 EMA right here, then uh we we could see something nicer to the upside. I give it a little room to breathe and see if I can lock in a little bit more on this one con that I have left, you know, and if not, I don't I'll still be in the green.
nothing nothing uh crazy significant but uh I'm also copy trading so I'm I'm up uh I don't know with the slippage in the copy trader I got a couple around 150 and somewhere around 125. So I got some slippage in the copy trader there.
So, basically, this trade will be over 500 bucks as long as I don't let it uh come back and pat me out all the way down here. If I do, then I'll have I'll have less than that. But that's okay, too. It's still early. I'm sure we'll still find plenty of trades.
If we have any other new members in the chat, let us know that you're here. We welcome you to the community. Uh we live stream the New York session five days a week. And then uh the Asia stream right now is Tuesdays and Thursdays. You know, you smash that like and subscribe on YouTube. you'll be notified anytime we go live in case I throw you never know when I might throw another day in there for something for the Asia session or this or that.
Uh we uh live stream the New York session five days a week.
I started live streaming the very first week of March the New York open. We we started adding Asia sessions I don't know maybe couple weeks back maybe. I'm not even sure how long ago it was. So, it looks like they're coming to tap me back out.
All in all, you know what happened here on this trade? I could have made better money had I held all 12 of my cons for this push, but I scaled out too fast. I like to protect myself and uh so it is what it is. But I still made money and that's the whole purpose. And all in all, the trade plan actually did work. It you know, so I I can't complain about that.
I can remove these so that I can get prepared for a different trade plan.
Now, since I have one con left, say they did decide to start driving this from right here instead of stopping me out.
If they could get up here and break above this 1 hour low around say 685, 682, get above 685 and then get above the 5m minute 50, I would start adding to a winner. If it looked like it wanted to keep driving up, I would start adding to a winning position.
Um, how many trades I taken a day? I'm not not really that many unless I'm scalping. I try not to scalp a whole lot anymore. Uh, I just try to Patience pays, not activity. So, we try to wait for the best setups to hit. We make a trade plan or we plan our trade and then we trade our plan. You know, it's the whole philosophy. Plan your trade then trade your plan. Uh people get into overtrading because they just want to keep clicking that button and just because the chart is moving does not mean it is a good idea to be trading it.
You know, sometimes you just have to sit back and relax. Boring. Boring trading is profitable trading. Okay.
We're on the road to a th00and subs milestone. Trying to hit that that milestone of 1,000 subs.
If you want to be part of that, don't forget to smash that uh like and subscribe button on YouTube.
I'm going to double check some things. I don't know how much I like this zone down here that I had because this wick here that put in this overnight low right down here. I'm not certain. I need to go check some things on a higher time frame real quick and have a look at something.
Okay. Yeah. No. Yeah, I still like this.
Maybe they try to come back that they're going to have to break through all this for me to believe they're going to take it any lower. As it stands, I'm going to think, okay, they might bounce here until they prove me wrong.
Although if they do if they were to do that, if they do break through say below 643, 645 close down here, especially on a higher time frame, I'm going to be looking for them to fill this 15-minute imbalance down here, which is uh 617 to 628. I really like that 630 area right this at the moment, 635, but uh we'll see.
As in as in what FX? Like you manifest your own destiny or something.
I mean, when it comes to trading, I think the only thing that's going to help you achieve success when it comes to trading is a set of rules.
And inside them rules, you need to have some things like uh discipline, risk management.
need to you need to be able to grade your trades like A, B, C, D, A+, A minus, B+, B minus, just B or A. Uh what you're willing to risk on them types of trades. Um or do you just skip a certain trade all together because of the grade?
Need to be able to journal all your stuff. That way you can see your mistakes, uh, see what you need to learn from because trading is going to be the single-handedly the hardest thing you've probably ever done in your life. Uh, well, you said you was only, I think, 17. Uh, I've been around for a little while and I've worked hard my entire life, but this is a different type of hard. This is a mental game. Um, so I mean without I mean I know if you look online it seems like there everybody out there is trading and making like this huge success and driving their Lambos and Bentleys and living their luxury lives. It's all a bunch of noise. It's so fake. And if if until you can look past that and understand that that's all a lie, you're always going to be in a fantasy world of what you're seeing online when it comes to trading. Trading is hard. If it was that easy, everybody would be doing it there. There would be nobody working anywhere because everybody would be trading.
Gordon's long. Hey, Gordon. Gordon's on.
Well, looks like you got into a nice long there, Gordon.
You've been on this whole time. It sounds like you've been watching some of the same levels that I was watching. I should have been long.
I guess I was back here, but uh stopping out, but uh Oh, I just seen something. Let me look at it.
right here.
Not there.
I don't know if I um Nice. Looking for 719. I think you can get it. I think you can get it.
Think you get it.
I like how they're protecting protecting right now down here, you know.
I really do like that.
It's nice that they're doing that because I'm telling you, if we get a break below, we get a break below this area down in here, we're going to have to start focusing on some things to the downside. So, but that's what we do. That's what we do here for education only.
We're sitting at about eight likes on the stream. We get to 25. I'm giving away the trader mindset book to someone in chat.
We get enough people on the stream here, I might start reading some nuggets out of that book here on the stream.
Now, I kind of like uh they could get above say the uh 50 EMA right here on the one minute is down here at 6 about 680. I could see maybe taking a scalp into about the 700 area.
700 or 732 maybe.
Oh, that's wrong. I don't know if I like that. say uh 7:05 05 I don't know we'll see ATRs you know I guess it ain't too bad it's around 9 8 or 9 on the one minute just past 7 o'clock market Um, I reckon Yeah, Gordon's on tonight with us.
The 8-year veteran trader that was on the other night.
>> Thanks for joining us, Gordon.
>> He's in took a nice long good entry.
None of those are frozen.
Ain't been in there long enough.
What?
Uh FX uh said, "Do you believe in God?"
Uh FX, we uh don't you talk about religion or politics on my stream because those are the two biggest controversy things in the world to talk about. I appreciate the question, but we're not we're not even going to go down that path because I don't want my stream to be tied to, like I said, religion or politics.
That's all I really want to say about that.
>> Why?
Only balls. Only balls. He got me with that one.
>> How dare you, Sang? How dare you?
No, I just I want this whole community to be nothing but focus based on trading, you know, and and having fun.
This is what draws us all together from all around the world, you know.
I'm not here to uh be a Facebook page or nothing like that, you know. We're we're here to work. This is a job to me. Even though we're having a good time, this is my full-time job. So, >> you know, we just uh >> do what we do.
All right, FX, have a great evening.
Sleep well. We'll see you on the next one hopefully.
Oh, Gordon, I think he said he got in something at like 6:45 down there. Say I'm in them same zones I was watching down here. Had marked out. He's paying attention to same stuff. He been doing it so long. He knows what what he what he's doing. He's got it going on. Got it going. Gordon's always got it going on.
It seems like had some nice calls on Tuesday night.
Thought you was talking about alcohol.
You said what kind of bourbon you like?
Bourbon.
All right.
Oh, what are we doing here?
Did we risk it? Let's put some risk on.
Let's put some skin in the game right here real quick.
Let's see if they can do something here.
Oh, push it, Bulls. Push it. Push it. Push it.
Let's go.
Nice. Do it. Beautiful.
Break above that 5 minute 50 and we're going over 700.
And they said without you, Vendy, we're taking you out. We're going to stop you out.
Guess that's what happened when you put stops in, right? You get stopped out.
Appreciate it, Swain. Just a old scalp there. Just old scalp.
how it was shaping up to put a little skin in the game here.
Adds a little bit to the old accounts, you know.
Probably won't even rotate out. I'm just going to keep copy trading these four for now. Probably the whole time. Maybe see if I can get them close to uh passing.
Usually I'd already rotated out to something else most of the time because they're up there decent with some base hits in them.
All right, they stopped me out. How's Gordon doing? Gordon, you still on your long? Gordon was long from 645 or something like that. 55. I don't remember what he said.
I'm sorry. His stop was at 645. My bad.
My bad, Gordon. I had to go back and look. I forgot.
Still holding. Still holding. Holding strong.
Holding strong.
I want you to hold that position, Gordon. Even if we go down to 29K.
I'm just kidding.
Would you hold it to 29K, Gordon?
You can do it.
No way. I'm just having too much fun. I wouldn't either.
I would do it though to teach people what not to do.
What's your entry, Gordon? Did you get in like uh at the bottom there somewhere at where it finally found a bottom? Started trying to base out some.
>> Oh my goodness.
Nice thing. Nice entry, man. Real nice entry. Did catch the bottom.
Beautiful play. Beautiful.
See where we're at on the stream here.
But we're still at eight likes. Make sure you smash that like button if you're enjoying the streams. Run it up.
Run it up to 25.
That way I can give something away. I like to give stuff back to the people.
What' you do? Pass it. Oh, you know, whipping around pretty decent here for the Asia session. It feels like to me this whole this whole little section right here this this uh head and shoulder play right here. You see we got going on. So you know you take a line here. So you want to grab uh we call where we start this say we start it back here really something like that.
We're right in around there. So, kind of already breaking a neckline. And uh what what if is a what if this is a breakdown on the one minute chart head and shoulder? Sometimes these are good for quick scalp. But this is kind of nasty looking to be honest for Asia session right now to me. They need to clean this up.
Clean up on six everyone. Clean up on aisle six.
Wow, that magic eightball has some weird things to say. That's what it said when I shook it.
I got the I got the new and improved Magic 8ball AI connected to it. So, you never you have no idea what it's going to say.
I need to get one of them old.
One of them 70s 80s Magic Eight balls.
The original or however long ago it was and came out.
Looks like we're setting up to go down the dark side of the moon. To the dark side of the moon. I don't know.
I kind of feel the same way. Swang. Why I'm just kind of hanging out right this second watching.
Almost makes me feel like they do want to roll it over. But uh they could try to and come tap this zone down here again. You know, come hit this 645 area. You know what? If they You know what?
Yeah, it spiked up. I'm going to put a order down here. Just one. See if they throw in some kind of manipulation candle.
I'm lean to the downside. I want to put one down here in case they're like, "Oh, oh, we're going to go short." And then they try to trap people short and just throw in a manipulation candle and then [ __ ] it all the way back up.
You know how we do it.
Special K's in it. What do you mean?
Short or long?
Huh?
looking like looking like looking like a hot mess is what it's looking like.
That's what it all right. We still have time.
We still have time.
If you're enjoying the streams, don't forget to smash that like button.
We get to 25 likes, going to give away a copy of the Trader Mindset book to someone in chat.
And The trader mindset book is mastering the psychology behind consistent trading and I'm just going to read a little snippet here out of the uh introduction.
The FTE trader mindset. Why psychology matters more than strategy. Trading looks simple on the surface. Green means up, red means down. Buy low, sell high.
But every trader figures out the truth the hard way. The chart is not your enemy. Your own mind is. You don't blow accounts because you can't read can read a candle. You blow accounts because you jump in too early. You can't sit on your hands. You freeze when it finally gives you the setup. You move your stop because you believe. You revenge trade after one bad loss.
You trade to make the day back.
You size up when you shouldn't. You panic out of winners. And you can't accept being wrong. These aren't chart problems. These aren't indicator problems. And these aren't system problems. These are you verse you problems. And that's why this book exists. Because when you really look at it, trading is the only job in the world where no one's stopping you, no one is supervising you, no one is checking your work, no one is disciplining you, no one is protecting you, and no one is telling you stop. You're done for the day.
And then there's some other stuff. Uh, why here's a section here why I wrote the book in the first place. I've been in the trenches. I've been exactly where you are. Inconsistent, impatient, overconfident one day, terrified the next, blown accounts, passing evaluations, then fell in funded accounts, making simple mistakes that I already knew better than to make.
And I learned quickly that strategy isn't the problem. Indicators aren't the problem. Market market conditions aren't the problem. Discipline is the problem.
Your mind either works for you or against you. And everything you'll learn in this book comes from real experiences, real emotions, real trades, real wins, real failures, real discipline built over time, not theory, not fluff, not recycled cliches from 20-year-old investing books. Just the truth about what it takes to trade futures with confidence and consistency.
That's just some out of the introduction.
Hope you enjoyed. I'll get some more nuggets out of that book in a little bit because it gets pretty deep. It's 91 pages long, but it's a really good read. I like it.
And me uh dropping nuggets out of that book helps me uh stay refreshed on everything myself.
Man, this charge is looking nasty time I look over at.
every time I look up at it. I guess they ain't going to come pick my order up, are they? At least not yet. I'll just wait and see when they throw in this death candle.
They're locked up.
I'm going to turn the mic to Special K for a moment.
For a moment in case she's got anything to say. I have nothing to say.
>> Why not?
Hey, what's going on, Jack? Um, where's where is Target? Uh Jack, uh looks like um looks like maybe you're new here.
We uh we don't do uh signal room and uh all that. Now, I will say I mean I can throw some things out there. I just want to make it aware that it ain't a signal room, nothing like that.
But let me have a look at something here in just a second.
I I don't mind saying where I would be looking for a takeprofit area. I mean, Jack, are you in a trade right now?
You have to plan your trade and trade your plan.
Right now, I'm sitting on the sidelines because I'm practicing JMO.
Practicing JMO I guess somebody could be range trading this uh whipping that it's doing.
Draw you some channels on it and uh look at it that way, you know.
Even though it is range tra or yeah range trading here whip here and you can throw your upper channel on your lower channel, you know, and trade it that way if uh you're scalping or looking looking to uh be in a trade because you're not patient enough to wait for something else to come together.
Special case said that's her. Put me in impatient.
Wayne said, "Look, waiting to see and want to see if it breaks down." I don't know.
I don't know if we're going to break down.
You know, it it really seems like if they wanted to do it, they would have did it when we come down here and tag these zones. But the way they're doing this, what coming up, what is it? 7:30 market time.
We might be in for something else. Be honest. I don't know.
Oh, look.
So from about uh so from like 712 to 7:01 we have a 15minute imbalance that could be filled overhead.
100 712 something like that. Some imbalance up there that could be uh hit.
I'm not really liking the the price action at all myself. Uh I don't want to trade I don't want to range trade this chop that it's doing. So what I would like to do though is give give away a copy of the trader mindset book to someone in chat tonight.
All we got to do is hit 25 likes and I'll choose someone from chat.
So, if you want a chance to win it, you'd have to be in chat, being active, and then be part of Discord because that's where we do the giveaways.
What's up, Burnout?
Long time listener, first time caller.
I'm just kidding. Burn out.
Glad to see you join us tonight.
Uh Burnout, we on the sideline practicing our jo. We're not in any buys or sells at the moment.
Took some longs earlier.
Locked in a little bit of green. right now practicing my JOMO which is the opposite of FOMO.
We don't we don't practice the fear of missing out around this room. We practice the joy of missing out.
We don't we're not trying to chase every move.
Going to try this long. Huh? Hey, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it.
Special K is trading night with us.
She's in it long right now.
>> I don't know what I if I was going to be trading, I'll be trading it though, or range trading it, whatever you want to call it.
Well, why special K sitting over saying ouch? I guess because she's long.
Exactly why I'm not in it. Period.
You know, if you're going to do it, you got to do it. You know, something like this here.
You're going to say something in this area like this.
And then plus this bottom channel that we already have. And you're just going to play that channel long to bottom short to top long cover go short cover go long cover go short and back and forth. I mean it can be done. It is actually a trade.
Oh man. Dogs done gone. Dogs gone wild.
Let me get my video camera out.
Am I doing too much?
Get that line off of But y'all see what I'm saying. I'm sure some of y'all probably already know that.
Let's go. Asia session.
That's hilarious.
Wow.
That's really funny.
hadn't used him in forever either.
Gordon still holding long 719 but move a stop 665.
If we got any other new members here with the FT community tonight, let us know in chat. We welcome all new members. You know, let us know you're here, if you found us, if you're enjoying the stream, don't forget to smash that like button on the stream.
Helps uh helps YouTube push it out there further. And algo, if you don't ever want to miss out when we go live, like and subscribe to the YouTube channel and hit them bell notifications. That way, you'll be notified every time we go live. Five days a week, New York open, Tuesdays and Thursdays, the Asia session. But uh we're probably going to start adding in some maybe another night or two of Asia coming up soon probably and you'll be notified if we start doing that.
I guess I could be range trading.
Probably could have done unlocked in about 100 points range trading.
But I don't want I don't want a range trade.
It's a It's a nasty ugly slow grind up though.
See, they they keep slow grinding this and their our momentum is draining off yet price action is not. So now they could No telling what they're up to.
No telling why we don't predict, we react.
Now, I'm going to go I'll go long in this if I can close above that 5m minute 50 EMA and not reject on the very next candle.
It's been so choppy.
I have to go small if I do it. It ain't worth the risk and whatever they got going.
How's everybody doing tonight on the stream? Are we is everybody green or maybe mixed bag red and green or sitting on the sidelines maybe waiting for something to smooth out before you take a trade? Let me know in chat if there's a trade plan you have put together and some zones that you're just waiting on. Let us know in chat so we can all take a look.
Maybe we can go over them here on on the stream.
Trying to get those likes ran up so that we can give that book away to somebody here in chat.
Likes ran up Oh, come on.
Hit it.
Yeah, you tell them remod. Smash like.
Didn't even realize you was on tonight.
Maybe while they're chopping around, I need to go back and just scroll through to a chapter out of the mindset book and stop and read.
Chapter three, how ENQ uses manipulation to trigger your emotions.
If you trade INQ, you already felt you you've already felt it. The sudden spikes, the fake breakouts, the liquidity grabs, the violent wicks, the perfect setup that reverses instantly, the trade that stops you out by one point, the push that looks like a breakout and isn't. This isn't random.
This isn't the market being unfair. This is intentional behavior engineered to make most traders fail. ENQ is faster, meaner, and smarter than any other futures instrument. It was designed literally literally designed to expose your psychological weakness.
This chapter shows you how it does that.
Module one. ENQ's entire job is to create emotional pressure. ENQ's built around speed, volatility, thin liquidity, aggressive algos, violent imbalance, rapid reversals, and trap movements. This creates the perfect environment to trigger fear, greed, hesitation, FOMO, overconfidence, and revenge.
If ES is a steady jog, then ENQ is full speed sprinting with potholes, traffic cones, and trip wires everywhere. If you don't have emotional stability, you don't survive long.
I mean, who can who can feel that? I mean, that like speaks volumes to me when I read it back to myself. I mean, been there never done that.
ENQ module 2 is NQ manipulates traders through price action, not indicators.
Indicators react after price and ENQ knows that. though ENQ intentionally creates early curls, early crossovers, fake divergences, premature momentum shifts, half form setups, near perfect reversals, sweeps that look like breakouts.
This is why your indicator might look right for a moment, but the move fails.
In Q's job is to make your indicators give early signals. Your job is to wait for confirmation.
All right, that's all I'm going to read out of that book for right now.
91 pages. All every single page really good.
At least I think it's good.
We ain't got any ice. You mean to tell me I got to drink my next cocktail with no ice? I need to run and get a bag of ice.
Is it close?
I knew it was a little late. I knew it was a little late when I put them in there.
No, no, no. I don't need it. Let it go.
Let it go.
All right, then.
I know we got one person in chat in a long hair still from like 650, I believe.
So, uh, congratulations to them, Gordon.
But he's still long in it.
He's been sitting here through all this nasty chop just letting it go. And sometimes that's what it takes, you know. At least he's been in the green the whole time though and ain't had to sit through no draw down or anything. Plus, he's got a tight stop on it. Of course, that helps as well.
He took the night off to read the book since he got it the other day.
Thank you for my cocktail.
So, it's um 7:40 almost 7:45 market time.
Maybe we come up to uh come up to what did I 8:00. Maybe we see something happen. Maybe. Nice. Burnout's got two micros at 650. I don't know how many Gordon has, but uh he got some.
He's in at 650 as well. That means y'all both caught the bottom.
The only thing I'm catching right now is a headache off of these moves that it's making.
Making me want to get off here and go jump in the swimming pool.
I'd have to go for a night swim with the mosquitoes.
Come on. Let's go. What are we going to do?
The further they get away from my zone down here that I was wanting to see how they test down here around the 6 uh 45 area. 6 4345 since they're getting this far away.
I'd be willing to play this zone again if it drops down here. They got closed back here when they tagged that 650 area, but that's not this area.
You know what I'm saying? And now that we got enough room here, and if they made that drop fast, they could sweep that low and not sweep it very far, you know, or they could come back and do a double tap of that low.
All right, Swang, have a great night.
Um, yeah, as of right now, I plan on doing the New York open and just seeing how it goes. you know, if it's uh if it's really slow and nobody's on, then I'll probably just end the stream. But uh I'll probably start it anyway just to see how it goes.
Yeah. Yeah. Sounds like plan. Have a great night.
>> Special K says good night. Well, >> we will have a good night. I'm going to make about a million dollars before we get off stream.
A million.
done work.
thinks we got the squeeze coming in.
Could be happening. I'll be looking forward to the squeeze, but they do it.
See uh how that plays out.
I I'm hate I hate the price action. I really special case. I have trust issues because I hit the price action.
I mean, they they have literally worked really hard to get like 40 points to the upside.
45. They're not up a lot. I mean coming up on 8:00 market time. I'll be ready to fullport short.
Yeah, you kind of got to watch that level right there, the 700 there. They can't break above it.
I think it's going to the dark side of the moon. Bullish ignition here.
Yeah, we got to see if they can fall through. Depends on where the candle closes at. Only got 16 seconds left.
like they're pushing it. Don't look.
And I'm going short.
All right.
They they ran it up, got into that uh 15-minute imbalance, but then rejected and pushed down hard and closed red. So, I'm going to leave a little risk on the table here for a minute.
Give us a little room to breathe and see what happens.
Well, I did after it re reached that 15 minute balance and rejected with that red candle. They looked awful.
I mean, they broke through 700, but they closed. They closed well below it.
12 points or better.
All the trickery. Trickery. The trickery.
might not have should have took five when I did it maybe. So maybe I should get out of a few up here. See get a draw down there and uh that way I can scale out of a few and just being it small.
That way I don't get wrecked.
Let's go. Come on now. What are we doing here? Chop. Chop. Chop. Top city.
Hopping around. Up and down.
Need some elevator music.
Need some elevator music.
7:54 market time.
Nice job, Gordon. Locking in $200 on the long.
What I like to hear, I done gave all my green back trying to counter trend trade this to the short side, but it'll be it'll be okay.
I can actually exit the trade here and still be in pretty good stand and I'll be in a red, but not as bad if I I let it go too far against me. But I I would be curious to see what 710 looks like to be honest.
part of it. part of it.
Come on bears, tell me the rejection.
Come on, bears, be nice to me.
Oh, how low can you go? Show me some rejection.
What happened to coming down here and testing this channel on the bottom side?
trying to teach me a lesson.
Oh, let's go to the dark side of the moon. Go.
Spread those wings fly to the downside.
Come on. Dark side of the moon.
in about uh 25 seconds. Either the market's gonna help me or it's gonna rip my face off. So, we'll be at the whole hour of 8:00 market time.
Come on, let's drop to the dark side of the moon.
Going down down 8:00 8:00.
I'm out. I'm out. I was selling some off manually. Look at that. I should have held. Bam. That's all right. I am rece about uh 12 12 just under just under I think $1,300 across four accounts. Copy trading four.
Beautiful hit to the downside there.
Love it. Now, let's see if they push down here back to this uh section here and see if they find some kind of support still down here.
Gordon's in the short.
I was in the short, scaled out too fast, left a lot on the table, but the name of the game sometimes.
Yeah, I had 15 micros when that happened. I scaled out too fast. I have locked in nice on them even close past them.
Oh, maybe not. It looks big, but it ain't that big cuz I zoomed in. So it's looks like it's a lot further. It's not really 91 the body and 72. Yeah, only like 30 something points there.
It's a lot though. It's still still quite a bit. It's a good hit.
You know, we need to be looking around uh 15minute low right here and this 30 minute low. They could try to save down here.
And then if they don't save here at the 15 minute, if they don't save where we're at now, we looking at the 15 minute and 30 minute low right here, this little combo. And then if they don't, we need to pay attention to the overnight low and the 1 hour low.
Yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm that's actually what I'm looking for. Uh Gordon, that's what I'm mainly paying attention to is to see if we did get that sweep. But you just never know.
It's never a straight line. So, we might see some Well, you see we're getting the bounce now here. Uh, getting the bounce here, but it don't mean we ain't going to reject, you know what I mean? And get down here, but then we could bounce again at the 15 minutes. So, in the one in the 30 minutes. So, I'm just going to be patient and uh see if they do reject and come down here and try to make that sweep.
Yeah, I don't think that's a bad idea at all, Gordon.
That's probably how I'd be playing that right now. If I was in it short, I'd add to the pullback.
Or I mean, I don't know what your entry is, but if I was still in the green and it pulled back like that, I would probably add to my position.
Hey, what's going on, Brian? Fipps.
Brian Fipps.
690. You're in at 690. Nice.
Yeah, we we we got some downside it looks like here. Really play. Go look at some higher time frame stuff real quick.
Really liking the maybe the sweep. Uh know we I don't know. You know, it's questionable if we sweep 645.
Uh, I'm going to say, all right, I'm going to go put a box down here.
So, I'm going to say if we sweep uh 645, we need to pay very close attention to this right here.
If we sweep that up there, I would not be surprised. Now I just think that's at 45 645 area. If we did sweep because we have this 15-minute imbalance down here. Plus, we got some other stuff going here I just drew on. They could sweep it that far. It's not that far away. Sweep it by 30 points or better.
And if they could do it with some speed, you know, like really get there. Not a bunch of low little candles getting over here, but just slam it, you know, slam it hard. Yeah, I could see that.
Could see it. Could see it all night happening out like that. But we'll just have to wait and see.
Don't forget to uh if you're enjoying the streams, don't forget to smash that like button. Helps uh YouTube push it out there further. Helps grow our community. If we get to 25 likes on the stream, I'm going to give away I'm going to give away a uh copy of the trader mindset book to someone in chat to be in chat being active or something to be picked. And then uh if you always want to make sure you know when we go live, make sure you like and subscribe to the YouTube channel and hit them bell notifications. That way you don't never miss when we go live. Whether it be the New York session or the Asia session or any other session that I might throw in here or there dollar.
If we have any new members in chat that are, you know, first time here, let us know in chat. Everybody, welcome the new members to the chat. Love seeing the FD community grow, you know. Let me know if maybe we need to do more live streams in the evening in the Asia session. Uh let me know in chat.
Hey, what's going on? Uh Leo energy. I like that name. Like energy. I like Leo, too. Leo a lot. Come on, Leo. Is this your first time here?
long time listener, first- time caller.
I'm just kidding. I say that to everybody, especially if they're new.
Glad to have you here, everybody.
Welcome Leo to the uh to the team for the Asia session.
You're not alone, Leo. I'm the first This first time I've been here, too.
I got too many jokes. I'm sorry. Uh but we do like to cut up and have fun with it at the same time.
also like to give away some pretty cool stuff, you know, like uh got the trader mindset book, psychology book for uh trading that I wrote and uh cuz I've been in the trenches. Not everybody everybody's journey in trading, you know, everybody's at a different path. Uh I don't know where yours is or some other people. There are some particular people that have shared some of their stories. We got uh we got somebody in chat right now named Gordon Gordon Gecko. He's been trading for quite some time. He's full-time trader.
Uh like eight years. And then of course then we also have somebody pips. He ain't been in the night I ain't seen him. He's like seven or he's in college and I think he's only got six months under the belt. And then we had somebody in here earlier tonight named FX uh FX Crypto or FX something. and uh he's like 17 years old.
So, you know, I don't know what your level's at, but uh or where you're at on your trading journey. Got a lot of good people in the chat, though. Everybody's here to learn. I learn I learn new stuff every day and I've been trading for a long time myself.
You've been trading for about a year and you're 36 years old.
I mean a year's but a year is uh I'm not a year is not a long time but a year is enough to uh depending on how your journey has been.
It's been uh enough time to learn some good stuff but it could be a year of nightmares if you was chasing the wrong thing if that makes sense.
I think anybody's been trading long enough would know what I mean by saying that.
I remember early on in my trading trading journey where uh I wasted a lot of time. Honestly, I feel like what we got going on over here. We're going to get the bounce. They try to pull back into the zone again. Act like they want support. Hey, I'm going to step away from the computer just for a second. Uh that way I can go make a cocktail. uh it's uh been up and down close to break even trader. Well, there is nothing wrong with that, Leo.
Uh anybody that's been trading long enough will tell you that that could even possibly stay that way for quite some time. It really does. It's hard work. It takes time. Uh most most consistent traders, it takes them well more than a year to get there. And I mean, not everybody, but but most most traders that you ever probably talk to are consistent. they've been trading for a lot longer than that. And uh you know, it's just part of the journey. You know, the fact that you can sit there and say that you're a year in and you're a break even trader though should make you really feel good about it because uh I wasn't no I wasn't no break even trader when I was a year What's even funnier is that you say that you was close to a break break even trader and I kind of laughed cuz I said I wasn't even I wasn't even that a year in. I to be honest when I was a year in I was a broke trader. Not a not a break even trader. That was a broke trader.
Hey, that's a good thing, Leo. If you if you uh manage and and got good uh risk management, you are definitely a step ahead being a year into it. For sure. I will give you that target hit $100 profit. Hey, hand it out for Gordon locking in uh on the short there. Great job, Gordon.
So look at this. What are they going to do? They're getting below the zone that we wanted to watch here and see if they can get below that.
So really what matters is not that they're the candle's below it. What matters most is where does it close not on the not on the one minute like give us a little bit of a higher time frame at least the five minute. You know the five minute has two minutes to close. So you know if if if in 2 minutes they close back above this zone in the next two minutes or even in this zone then this zone is still valid.
But but but they might want to come on down and test this other zone we got marked out here.
Hey, what's going on? Uh ES options trader love trade. I traded option in ES for quite some time. zero DTS or and I mean in the S&P I'm sorry and uh and then I also did do some spy zero DT did some swing trade options. I hate to hear that. Appreciate you being here.
Well, I mean, hey, speak the truth. I mean, just speak the truth. Uh everything that's everything you're saying, we've all most of us most of us have been there. You've been trading for six years. So, anybody that's been trading long enough knows I hate to hear that uh you've been unable to stay profitable. Just remember, options trader, you never really failed unless you just quit and walk away. Now, I will say not, you know, not everybody's going to make it. Um it's just not going to happen. And but if you stick with if you truly passionate about it, if you're truly passionate about it and uh care that much and just love trading, then uh I think you can do it, but uh you know more about your trading journey than I do. You're new here and I do appreciate that. I just I don't want to see you quit. Uh so do you are you trading futures uh now?
Are you still options trader, man? Look at this. Uh, look at them turn this around like this right here. I'm not even paying attention to the chart.
Let me get back on the five minute.
Where' the fivem minutee candle close?
644.
So, it closed back in his own. So, we really need to see what they do here.
Okay. So, you trade everything. All right.
You've got a lot of years under your belt, options trader, but I'm just going to say this.
Uh, I quit trading everything. Well, I didn't I didn't trade futures when I started. I all I was trading was stocks and options. That's it. And then I quit trading stocks and options when I went to futures. And I tell you why. because it was a headache to try to keep up with so much when it came to uh stocks and options. So, I just when I went to futures, I don't ever plan on going back. I could I might one day, but at this point in my journey, I have no intentions on on ever going back that direction.
What do you say is the what would you say options trader is your most the hit cup there? I mean you after trading for six years and unable to stay profitable.
I mean what do you think as a trader causing that?
Oh it's no problem uh options trader. I mean I appreciate you uh coming and hanging out with us but it's nice to talk to some seasoned traders you know and hear what they have to say about their journey and it could help anybody else in here. You know, we got some people that ain't even traded for a year.
Uh some some not even a year, some maybe a little more than a year. Uh but it's just good to to hear people's journey. Um so succumb to FOMO. All right. Well, you need to come hang out with us more often. I think uh after six years you should uh I would think would have been past FOMO but it takes it takes everybody it takes different time for everybody you know what I mean to get past certain things or stages in their journey.
FOMO is a tough one. That is a tough one. So what we practice here uh at Future Trader Elite is JMO.
Well there there ain't no chasing. We're not about to chase anything on the chart. You know, if I miss a move, I don't even think twice. We do JMO.
That's the joy of missing out. You know, I don't care if I miss a 200 point move because I will build a trade plan on the short side of that move or the pullback of that move to get long and just take my base hits.
I I'm pretty much a base hit trader. I don't care nothing about home runs. I'm not trying to prove to nobody that I can take a trade and make a th000 or $5,000 in one trade. Uh especially with MNQ.
Now, when I was trading minis, it was a little bit different. I can get there, but uh the risk management side on minis is just insane. Especially using prop firms unless you're a seasoned trader and you're really good at scalping. I would stay away from ENQ myself. Last year, all I traded was uh minis for the most part, but I scalped. I liked I liked scalping, but I switched up a lot of things for this year. I seen too many inconsistencies trying to trade minis versus payouts and bloat accounts and all that mess. So, I tried to dial everything back uh for this year coming into January.
Uh basic strategy. Um the basic concept of everything that I do or I teach is always built around structure. I'm a structure trader, market structure. And then you know I have precision entry zones, zone boxes, imbalance zones, pivot points. I use uh 50 EMA on several different time frames.
You know I have them mapped on my chart.
You can see the five minute is overhead.
If we go up higher or never mind or lower the the 15minut is down here in this box. Then you got the 30 minute 50 EMA, the 60 minute, the 4 hour somewhere down there.
Uh all that plus a lot more. It's all mainly tied to the uh FTE precision trading course. I need to do a 2.0 version of that and I got modules that I need to add and things are different. Uh Gordon short entry here. Are you sure about that? This is almost looking like an inversion long they're trying to set up down here. Gordon, you know that them inversion longs, it's going to look everything on the chart looks bearish and then they try to rip this to the upside. I'm not saying a short ain't going to work. I just I'm not too sure the way they're holding this here.
I would I would be weary as a trader to hold this or go short here at the moment myself. But you're seasoned trader, Gordon. I'm just saying that's what I'm looking at right now.
That's why I won't short it right now because I'm scared that they might try to rip it to the upside because of this bare flag they're building down here in this zone now instead of taking the short.
I would rather just sit on the sidelines with Joo and wait and see if they test this zone and see if I can get my long build out of here.
Well, uh, Cruz, uh, the 50 EMA plus market structure shift for entry. It uh, I mean, it can be. Yes. I mean, you have to plan your trade and trade your plan.
I'm not saying that that's going to be my plan.
I I have I look at these things because they add confluence to my trade plan.
And the more confluence that I can add to my trade, the better the trade is. You know, if you grade your trades like a plus, A minus A, B plus, B minus B and all that.
If you grade your trades, the more confluence you have for a trade, the better chances are your trade is going to be successful. So down here we got the 15m minute 50 EMA.
We have a higher time frame zone here that I drew on that I'm watching. We have the uh 15minute imbalance which is this greenish yellowish box on the screen which is 617 to 628 or something. Then we have the pre-market high and the orb high down here. These are from the New York session that are uh stuck in place.
So, you know, they still add confluence.
And then you have the overnight low right here inside the 15-minute imbalance, which it already tagged once right here.
Have to be able to add plenty of things to your decision making.
At least I I like to anyway. I mean, you don't have to. I mean, you have people out there that are just VWAP traders, you know, if it's below VWAP, they wait till the test and short or break above and retest and go long and just use one line. That's fine, too. There's many strategies out there.
Many, many strategies. Got to find what fits for you as a trader and and run with it. Because if you find something that is working for you, it really doesn't matter what anybody else has to say. It don't matter if they like it. It don't matter if they don't understand it. Uh you need to be around a group of people that is going to lift you up and not try to tear you down. Some traders like tear each other down. I don't even understand.
There's so many different ways to trade.
Find what works and just run with it. If it's making you money, if it's making you profitable, don't change it. Don't change it if it's if it's working.
Uh, options trader, we stream five days a week, the New York session right now, and we stream Tuesday and Thursday, the Asia stream, uh, the evening stream. Um, Asia session. I might add some nice air.
Best thing I can say is make sure you like and subscribe to the YouTube channel because if I ever add any any other nights, you'll at least be notified if you hit that bell notification there on YouTube cuz we probably will start adding another day or two of Asia sessions. I'm thinking about my next night that I add for now might be Sunday night since we're coming into the new week and the market opens overnight after the week on the weekend there. I might start doing like Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday. Maybe not this Sunday because it's Father's Day. I made a comment today on the New York stream asking should I do a a Father's Day stream uh Sunday night, but it being holiday, I don't know if anybody will be on, you know what I mean? So, I don't really consider Father's Day a holiday. I mean, I got four kids, but Father's Day can be any day. You know, I don't need the government to tell me what the day of the month or whatever that I need to celebrate Father's Day, but All right. I appreciate that. Uh, options trader I know. I've been I seen you posting uh earlier. Uh Gordon, I was paying attention what you saying. And I seen you said something about a 629 break can see a waterfall. And I see uh I seen they went down there and uh you scared them, Gordon. You said said break a 629 a waterfall and they got scared so they took it the other way for now. Anyway, spoken into existence.
I think Gordon's got one of those magic eightballs that I have probably got it on Amazon.
Probably came from probably.
All right. What are they doing here?
You know what I'd like to see? Um part so it's so choppy for the Asia session.
When does this smooth out? Like in five hours from now.
We're going to find a trade here pretty soon.
We're going to find a trade.
I'd still prefer to see the pull back down into that zone down here, the rectangle box that I drew.
Maybe. Let me go back to my higher time frames and take a look a couple things quick.
Maybe not.
Um, where or where is 544 at?
Oh, where's 54?
Well, the 30 minute 50s down there.
I'm gonna sad to say that uh I don't know. I'm gonna wait for this 15-minute candle to close real quick.
Only got like less than two minutes because if if they get another decent 15-minute candle put in after this one closes. I mean, I guess this one can say that they decide to reject this candle that they're put putting in right here.
if they closed it down here at that uh below that 6 uh 27 area or get it below this 15 minute 50. I'm going to be looking for them to charge towards this 30 minute 50 only if they can break it down like that. Okay, it's just one one scenario I could see playing out if they want to take it down. I'm not saying they want to, but I'm not here to predict. I'm here to react to what I'm reading on the chart.
You know, I could see I could see them pushing back to like 670 right here, sweeping the 50 EMA on the one minute and maybe possibly finding some rejection.
And it's and it's where patience pays, you know, and not taking every little wiggle and chasing anything on the chart. It's uh planning your trade, trade your plan.
You don't have to be in the market just because it's moving. You don't have to take every trade. You just need to take your trade. So when you plan your trade, be ready to trade it if it's going to if it hits. Don't hesitate.
Once you hesitate, you start chasing.
Oh, we got about 8 seconds and 15 minutes close and don't look that great.
Too bad they didn't push this all the way down here on that. I'd have been short in that for sure.
With as much chopping around as they've done tonight though, so far I don't I don't I don't feel the need to be putting on any risk right now. Really?
Oh, Gordon, I didn't realize you was still short in it. You're still in that trade short. Thought you was out.
about 8:30 market Um, kind of Tough one here on what uh what to do now.
They kind of need to do a make or break kind of decision here for the long bias or the short bias.
I feel like the shorts incoming.
First time I was wrong.
Hey, I appreciate that. Land hacker sounds great. You already leaving?
Right now, we're just streaming uh Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Asia session. So, uh, if you are, hit that like and subscribe and bell notifications on YouTube will let you know if we add any other nights, uh, to the schedule. We do five days a week, the New York Open.
And I appreciate the kind words.
Appreciate the kind words, Gordon. I don't know. I don't know, man, about the whole ordeal, whatever they're doing here.
Uh, hey. Oh, such a nasty looking chart to me.
I don't uh I mean, so like they need to get the price When I keep looking at that fiveminute chart, I'm thinking, you know, if they don't if they can't close that fivem minute candle, it's kind like a minute and a half, a little over a minute and a half, they need to get the price above 655 and stay above 655.
Even if they do it to consolidate, you know, get up above the 50 EMA here on the one minute, it's at 662. Get up here and consolidate up above that area.
And if they could do that, get up there and consolidate, maybe do whatever this chopping mess is, then I could possibly see them trying to make a bigger push towards 690.
Well, I guess that's close to that. Uh, what' you say? 673.
Um, yeah, I don't I don't even want to really if they break 627, I don't know.
I think uh whatever I said earlier, I was already looking at that. Did I draw Did I draw a box down on what I was going to be looking for?
I didn't draw a box. You say 577.
I was going to say mine's down there closer to that 30 minute 50 EMA.
They do that.
I'm thinking something.
Come on.
I would say like five five somewhere around 555 to 565 right now. So I mean we're we're still in the same boat.
We're close enough.
If I got a 10point range down there, it's within uh 10 points of what you're talking about. So, I mean, I can see it happen. I I I believe that as well. But they're going to have to break that that level first.
And they don't just need to break it.
They need to break it hard. Like, don't come down here and sweep it and tag this and bounce. I want to see a a hard push down.
673.
What time frame? Uh Gordon.
I hope What platform are you are you using where you see that? Mine to me looks like 685 to me.
Maybe even 5688. They're saying 63.
Oh, and what platform are you looking at there, Gordon?
What' your brother have to say?
Does it What does it look like to you, Gordon? Uh, more like 685.
That's kind of more that or 688. I mean 685 to me is what it looks like, but we have some uh point of control up around 688 on the 5minute chart.
Holy moly. Special K's got a uh you can take a payout of uh how much? 535 and take profit after today trading in the New York session.
It ain't no no big deal. I had to I had to blow mine up uh to really to zone in on it, but I'm looking at stuff so fast when we talk about it. Had to keep going back and double checking and looking.
What What uh what platform do you execute from? Are do you try to are you trading Ninja Trader or do you trade Trading View or something else out there? I know there's all kinds of platforms out there. Oh, look at this.
We got some manipulation coming. Are they really going to try this? Let me go get back to my Okay, think.
I think you got to be over a certain amount.
Yeah. Let's see if the bears are going to get in control. I'm going to tell you, I honestly think that if they I think if they break that level at 627 and break it hard, I think we would see 545 or so is what I'm thinking.
Possibly even more than that.
Nice.
I'm sorry at like what are we at? Remod 17 likes means we need about eight more to get the giveaway of the mindset book.
on uh uh cuz we from New York.
like to say that you know that there's other people in chat that have it and let them want the mic.
Go ahead.
>> Take it off.
>> Do you have Cindy's book?
Seems like the old bulls are trying to uh not let the bears take too much control here, you know.
You know also that the on the 15minute chart kill zone momentum indicator is just about oversold on the 15th and the last candle they put in was a wick even even wick. body and versus wick pretty even top and bottom. Have to be careful with what the 15-minute chart tells me for this next candle which closes in the next three and a half minutes.
There could be something else up here uh going on to be honest.
I got to wait for confirmation.
I don't understand what the hard problem is about pushing this down.
Oh, three times.
might have us might be muted but try to talk during a New York session sometimes never get up or it's really late like way after I have to go back in the chat and look you know what I'm Man, well, Special K, I wish you would like me more, too.
You know, you should never put that in chat like that. I wish you would like me more, but you seem to always hate me.
What is up with that?
Look, I better spit her water out.
All right, we got about a minute and a half for the 15-minute candle to close.
I really think that I might be having to think about taking a long acting like so either they need to show me the proof that they want the bears to step in and go downtown to the dark side of the moon or how about how about I'm green so I just sit on the sidelines and not worry about it one way or another for mouth.
Let it prove itself.
That chart's ugly.
Ugly.
Kind of like when I look in the mirror.
I don't have to have no ice. Ain't I already made one with that.
Huh?
Yeah.
Well, bartenders got to go on break sometimes, right?
Anybody locking in that green tonight?
Special K said me. She's locking in the I'm green for now. I don't want to ruin that. So, I'm going to be patient and practice my JOMO.
When tonight, what was it? 25K.
Are you serious? What did you do? Full port it.
Wow. I thought Yeah. No kidding. Why was you full boarding?
You was just just That's your answer. You was just Brian says red for the day.
That's not any good, Brian.
Hopefully the losses aren't too too big.
685 stop 577 take profit short. We'll let it ride.
The bravery. The bravery.
>> Gordon.
>> I'm not uh not getting in no short with you.
>> They I I don't know if they really want to roll this or not.
very different York session >> ATR is >> just under seven >> about how much green I lock in about $7.
>> This session is the session that I blow every account I ever blow cuz one minute it's at six or seven and then the next minute it's at 30.
>> Ain't that a true statement? and it goes the opposite way.
>> I that's why I stay out of my funds a lot of times in the Asia session and and just wait till the New York session.
>> I don't care about trading evals in the Asia session, but if I blow a funded account, it's typically in the Asia.
>> I know that I've blown some in, but it if I had to look back at when and where, it's almost seems like the Asia session's my enemy.
Pips is trying to make the comeback. I think you can do it. Just stay patient.
Stay uh slow and steady.
Vigilant. Plan your trade. Trade your plan.
Don't have FOMO.
I have FOMO. Not FOMO. Foam is fear of making money. Was that Fipps?
>> About what?
>> He's in the red right now.
>> Yeah, Fipps was trying to come back.
>> Hey, Fipps, talk to me. Is it the red that you're seeing that you don't like?
Or is it the fact that you're just down feel like might be up to no good >> down from New York session.
So, it's red from the New York session.
Is it because you're down or is it because you see red?
>> Well, I mean, what do you mean by that?
>> Well, >> he's trying to he's trying to make a comeback, >> right? I understand that. I have an issue with red.
>> Oh, what the psychological side of it is.
>> Psychological.
>> She's asking what the psychological >> red that tears my nerve nerves up and I want it to be green.
Okay. Well, you're down. Well, don't don't push it.
>> Yeah. Don't overtrade.
>> Overtrading will blow that account faster than anything.
And I'll tell you, trying to come back from the New York session in the Asian session is not going to get you where you want to be.
It is frustrating, but sometimes it's okay to be red. You just need to let it go. I'll be really honest with you. If it was messing with this tonight, I'd get out of it and I'd start over in the morning at the New York session.
>> That sound advice >> because this what we're dealing with now, that candle can shoot straight down to 600 real quick if you're trying to go green.
>> I don't Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't be long or shorting anything right at the moment. I'm thinking about it. But uh >> you know, it just depends on where you are in your journey. Two days ago on the New York stream, I took some evals down 2K in the >> in the uh red. I was copy trading three them evals that day and was 2,000 in the red and I stayed in them and walked them back to 400 in the green and then I walked out of them. So, but I wasn't emotional about it either. I was on the stream doing every everybody seen what I was doing.
>> Well, see, and Fipps just said, "I'm frustrated.
Stop trading. Sit on your hands because being frustrated will make you blow that account.
>> Yep.
>> I know firsthand. I blew one tonight 100%. I just paid $148 for it and I blew it cuz I got frustrated because I was in the red.
>> If you protect it now, you'll survive to trade trade the same thing tomorrow. But if you if you tilt, get frustrated, let your emotions get involved, then you're definitely going to take a bad trade.
There's no doubt about that.
>> 100%.
>> No doubt about it.
>> I know you want the grain, but it's not worth it. Keep your money in your pocket and continue to grow it when the circumstances are better.
>> Hey, there's no trade plan on the chart right now. There's nothing nothing screaming, you know, hey, let's go short. Hey, let's go long because the only thing they have proven to us over the last hour is it is nasty price action and they can't make a decision if they want to rip our faces to the short side or long side. So that's why I'm just practicing sitting on the sidelines right now.
That's about all I'm good at any anyway is sitting on the sidelines.
If I get in the trade, I might lose I might give some of my money back.
But I wouldn't be scared to take my accounts red while we're on stream and then have to close them out in the red.
I've already done that before.
Oh my gosh. Are you following what what what rules and strategies are you doing?
Don't Don't say you're using mine. I'm just kidding. what what uh what rules and strategies you're uh keep losing with. What are you doing? If I'm a bad influence, you might want to quit watching what I'm doing.
Oh, your orb trader.
Come on, Brian. Oh, man. Uh do you use the orb in uh Asia session yourself?
I would only use the orb session or the orb uh strategy in the New York session.
I've never tried it in the Asia session, but I'm going to assume that that might be a bad idea. But you know what? We might have to try that sometime. But anyhow, I can understand your frustration now. I honestly can because if you're I don't know if you're ever on the New York session with us, but I do have the 15-minute orb on my uh charts that maps out in the New York session. I can show you here. You can see right down here's the orb high from the New York session was 6:15 and the orb low is right here. So is the previous day low. You can't read it because both lines are intersecting right there at 392.
It automatically maps out for me because I used to forget to draw it on there. So I programmed it into my indic indicator.
But uh hey, they just ain't been hitting like not consistently. Like you've had to be real careful playing the orb. I think over the last several several weeks.
Hey, calm down.
Sorry about that. I was talking to my great D trying to be noisy back here.
He mad mama went outside and didn't take him with her.
I would uh there's nothing wrong with wanting to become a scalper. I was a scalper for a very long time. Is that right now?
Special K went out to take some pictures. We got some deers in the backyard. I seen you reaching for my drink. I did >> that. Uh nothing wrong being a scalper. I I I I do I did a lot of scalping. That's mainly what I did last year.
There's a lot of u just depends, you know. I'm not going to say that you should or should not if you've never done it. It's a whole different beast of trading.
And then it depends on if you're trading minis or micros. I was doing minis.
And then I would not say that the orb does not work.
You might be following that and been using that and following rules, but uh keep losing. But I would say that with with many things, it might not be working for you right now.
There's plenty of tools in my toolbox, plenty of setups that I have that don't work every single day. You know, you can take some trades, say something that hits, say, 90% of the time in a bias uh downtrend, bearish trend 90% of the time. And as soon as the higher time frame trend turns bullish, that exact trade will no longer work 90% of the time. I know for a fact because it's one of my trades that I do all the time. And I witnessed it myself over time and said, "Oh, here we go." Cuz I've tried it. I like to counter trend trade is part of things I do and I was like, "Well, this ain't going to work." I get into a bull trend on the high time frame. I cannot use that particular setup at all. I'm And I mean, sometimes you can use it and scalp out, but I I don't use it to scalp out. So, I wanted bigger moves like I would get during a bare market.
Yeah, I understand.
I mean, that's not I I will use the ore, but that's not like no original strat of anything I've done. I just recently added that this year, like the for the lines to keep up with the orb. I use the orb more as confirmation more than I play the orb. I like to see other things and other confluences line up with that orb strategy. You know, say say we get a break of the orb high and get a retest.
I want to see more confluence there. Not just because it retested that. I want to see high time frame levels there.
Whether it be a 15, 30 minute high, whatever high. I want to see, uh, pivot points, uh, 4hour or, uh, 1 hour, 2, 30 minute zones. I look for all kinds of things to add to the retest. I don't just want to take the retest just because it's the orb. If that if that makes sense. Like, oh, here's the orb high. It's going to retest that line. I need more confluence to why it might bounce.
You may or may not believe this. We're sitting over here. He's looking at another screen where it's showing the 2 minute, the 3 minute, the 5 minute, the 15 minute, and the 30 minute.
He goes all the way up to the 4 hour and as he's looking at things, he gets confirmation.
He's looking at the orb highs, the orb lows, the 15s, the 50s, and all of these different time frames. So, it's not just one thing that he's pulling his data off of.
Yeah. People all the time ask in the New York session, I'll just enter a trade out of nowhere >> and it's hard to explain. I'm looking at so much data at one time. Everybody's watching my one minute chart because that's what I execute on, but I rarely take a trade on my one minute chart based on the one minute chart. Sometimes I do >> just for scalping purposes, >> for scalping and stuff. But uh a lot of times I'll take it say I get some kind of mini breakaway structure on a one minute chart. It's because I'm also viewing that same structure and momentum indicators and everything the kill zone indicator and seeing where the momentum's at. And then where my places of rejection might be say I'm well maybe I don't want to take this.
And you was talking about how you might take that orb entry and it seems like the market always reverses or something once you take entry on a retest. Well, because say it's say that you sweep the orb high. I think if you go back and look, if you sweep the orb high and take the retest and and the retest fails, you should almost be able to go back and always pinpoint where that sweep touched, like where did it reject and find something from another time frame on why it rejected there.
I need to turn something off. I be getting these notifications all a sudden on my computer every day. It's annoying.
They keep popping up. I didn't used to have it. It must be some rec uh update or something kind of like the iPhone.
>> So, what charts are you looking at, Fips?
>> That he does also all of them. He looks at them. He said, "Awesome.
I'm at 50.
>> Yeah, but that's from >> I don't have it set to track.
the 15minute charts uh looking uglier and uglier. Building a bare flag on the 15-minute chart.
And I was just about to say, here we come. Here we come. Looking like they're building this bare flag like they're ready to uh drop the bottom out of it.
Although if they do, I think it's going to be a quick drop down and I think they're going to pop it back up.
Maybe not. But that's kind of the way it looks.
Yeah, I don't I was just looking at that myself. Even if they tried to break 627 or whatever, I'm not I'm not getting in short until I see it test this zone right here, you know, come down test the 15-minute 50 in this zone that I drew down here and get into this 15-minute balance. If this whole area does not protect it, if it wants to come down, then I'll think about shorting to the downside because I do believe if they break all this, we're going to 540, 550 area, maybe even lower. But, and then when you think that and we speak about it, look at him trying to leg this back up like that.
Like, what in the blue moon are you doing?
Oh, whole hours 9:00 market time.
Now they want to act like they want something mysterious. Look at this.
Y'all going to try to rip it to the upside, huh? Let them get back to 700 and see what they do. Where was we having that problem earlier? I'm pretty sure it was 700.
Yeah, up in here.
I don't think they going they're going to they're going to trap somebody.
They're not going to trap me. At least not yet. Because I'm not going to get in.
All right, Brian. Appreciate you being here.
Have a great rest of your night.
I'll probably be doing the same here before long. Giving it following it more than likely.
I was trying to give it enough time, a little more time to see if we get to 25 likes.
Still got like seven to go for the giveaway.
Yeah. Yeah. Charts are nasty right now.
I see all rejection there.
If they can bring the pain. Come on, bears. Let's push it.
Push.
Come on, y'all can push it. Get down there. Break that level.
Looks like they want to run out the bottom of the 4hour candle.
Come on. Get it.
Push. A Come on. Don't you be treating me that way.
Come on down here. Come on. Get it.
Let's go.
Locking in that green.
Nice.
See how low y'all can go.
How low can you go?
Come on, bears. Death candle this thing under 600.
Gordon.
>> Byebye.
I'm sure he's still a short.
>> Yeah, he's been short for a while.
I had to wait. You seen me pull the trigger. I was waiting. I seen something forming up on the other chart. I said, I'm getting in right here. It's time to go. You can see the momentum coming.
Try to give it room to breathe. You know what? I'm going to take my stop out. I'm going to put it way up here. Break even because I'm in the green anyway. I want to give this room to see if this plays out because I think I'm going to be looking for something. Uh if they if this zone up here don't hold, I'm going to be looking for something way down here somewhere.
I'd rather give it I'd rather get out break even with the one that I have left and let this play out and see what they want to do right here. Now, if they come down here to my zone that I drew on and fill the rest of this imbalance here and then act like they want to bounce, then I'll move my stop. But right now, I need to see how they want to how they want to trigger this right here.
Patience pays, not activity.
We've been sitting here on sidelines for quite a while now.
If we break if if this keeps going down, we break below 600, that's when that waterfall is probably really going to start like a big one more than likely.
This will probably be the last train that I take tonight on the stream.
Don't want to be on all night.
walked away from my desk. Had to go uh go use the little boy's room and uh see that they ain't came back yet. But how are we shaping up here when we look at this? They wick down.
So they swept everything right here that we was looking at. Even our zone, you know, I mean, it it got support when it swept here and pushed up here. But the problem is it's not so much about what this one minute chart is doing as much as it is the 15minute chart. And it closes in less than 2 and 1/2 minutes.
And if it closes below this 15 minute 50 EMA that 30 minute 50 down there at 3 at 562 that's in play.
Uh-huh.
If we have any new members in the chat with us tonight, be sure to let us know in chat that you're a first time here, longtime listener, first- time caller, type deal. You know what I mean? We like to have fun. And don't forget to smash that like on the uh stream. It helps YouTube push out there further in the algo. Can help grow the community. We're at like uh 17 19 likes. We need six more. We get to 25, I'm gonna do a giveaway of the mindset book.
You know me, I want to give back.
Hopefully, we can grow the community into a uh a big community to where we can do giveaways, evals, and everything else. That's what I'm trying to gear all this big community to, you know, real real traders, real execution, real time, patience, no fear of missing out, all joy of missing out, uh, trading together, learning together, bringing people all together from all around the world, all on the same mission.
But the I can't I can't do some of those things until I guess I get big enough.
You know what I mean?
You're long here.
I don't know about that, Gordon.
I got I got to wait for the 15minute confirmation candle.
Oh, I'm not No, I'm not saying I'm not saying you don't. I'm not saying you don't, Gordon. I just I can't I can't get long here just yet. We got 24 seconds for that 15-minute candle to close.
It's real close to that 15-minute 50. If they push this down past 610, which they may not do, but if they don't push it up above the 15minute 50, then I start thinking, I'm not too sure about this low risk on a stop-loss.
I'm going to move this down to the 15 minute low hair line right here. Oh, I'm with you, Gordon. I'm with you. I get it.
I like uh I like running things back and forth. I like to see what you're doing.
I love it actually.
You think the 630 squeeze will? It might. It might. They might have put in their bottom. I mean, that's what the zone was down there for. I was waiting for a long play instead of even going short. But I want to see him break. I want to see them break and and really drain this off. You know what I mean?
I'm really surprised that we're not already down there at the 30 minute 50.
To be honest, by looking at the 15-minute chart, I would have expected more downside by now.
I'm actually still my bias is still short on it regardless of what it does here. If it comes and stops me out, I'm still going to be looking for a short play.
Like if it were to come back and test say 650 to 660, I'd be ready. If it stops me out and drives on up, I'll be looking to short if it gets back up here.
How you sound?
>> Will you make me a cocktail?
>> Get it in.
I can't believe they came to you. You know how family is.
Yeah, but still. You know what I'm saying?
Gordon's uh Gordon is like uh trying to influence the market.
He said squeeze. All right, I'll go with you. Squeeze. Squeeze for Gordon.
>> Oh, that's >> squeeze.
I mean I mean I'm short but I I'll root for you. I'm gonna be in a green if I stop out. So it don't matter.
I got the leaf blower out right now trying to blow the candle up.
Please.
There is plenty of room on the momentum side on the indicators for a good uh a good hike right here. I'm not going to lie.
So I'm with you, Gordon. I'll root for you all the way.
Gordon, don't let him kid you. I'm always blowing at the screen, hoping it goes up.
>> We can't be living on hopes.
>> There's no room in trading for hope.
>> I think Gordon just wants to see me get stopped out.
That's That's not nice, Gordon.
If anybody's new here, let us know in chat. We love to meet you. Introduce yourself.
Let us know how your day has been.
Let us know if uh you're how we're doing on the stream. If there's something you'd uh like us to add was what doing what was you doing it? Oh, come on. Bears, punch it to the downside.
I mean, hold on, Bulls. Push it to the upside for Gordon. Bears, push it down.
Uh, I'm a bear and a bull. I go I I can do it both ways.
One thing you have to learn as a trader, you can't be biased just one way.
There's a lot of I've met a lot of traders that only trade long, and I've met a lot that only short.
Now, I love to short a lot more than I like to long, but I trade both ways.
I think in order to you're Yeah, but you you you prefer to be long. Special K likes to long, but she trades both ways.
I You're missing a lot of opportunity if your bias is just one way, I think, and only trade one way.
I think that limits a trader to uh their what they what they can make happen.
Come on, Bulls. I mean, come on, Bears.
I mean, let's just go somewhere. You know what I mean? One way or another.
Tell us what you got.
stop me out or literally like show me the the death candle that I want or the Bulls need to step in and stop me out and give Gordon the long that he wants.
If they stop me out, I'm going to be sitting in pretty good shape. About 1,600, 1,600 across four counts.
Oh, it looks like they got me on.
Not happening.
If anybody wants to go deeper into what uh how we tra how I trade and uh what I look at uh the FTE precision trading course is tied to the stream uh along with the kill zone indicator which is at the bottom of my chart uh down here. It's a momentum indicator.
I use the momentum indicator uh a lot when it comes to my decision making for my entries.
Um, and then I also have it I have it for Ninja Trader 8. And then I also have it for Trading View. Both platforms because I watch Trading View on the side non-stop uh one minute, the 2-minut and the 5m minute are always up. And then I switch through the 5 minute, 15, 30 minute, 1 hour, 2 hour, 4 hour. And then depending on the day, I might have a look at the eight hour, the daily, and the weekly and the monthly. Just depending on the day, depends on what kind of day we've had.
I need to be looking at some levels that are on them time frames. But, uh, looks like they stopped me out.
Looks like, uh, Gordon's in for the long. Maybe get that squeeze you're looking for.
I'm going to be looking for the short if they do squeeze.
I'll be looking for the short say at about 647 651.
Where's my box at up here? I had it 645 to 6 44. Yeah, I'll look at it right up there. That's fine. I need to raise that up a little. That way I got blocks up out there.
I don't really want to get back in short now here, but not going to do um still want to be short in it, but I got stopped out. So, I'm going to let it be what it is.
I think we got more downside coming.
Maybe not. We'll see.
I don't really want to take the short though, unless it gets back up in here.
Maybe they squeeze it up here and try to test sweep the 50 uh 50 EMA on the one minute, which is this pink line right here around 640.
They don't if they don't make some decent moves here, probably say in the next uh 10 minutes or so, I'm probably going to wrap it up for the evening. And usually when I wrap it up and and get off stream is when they make the moves that we've been waiting on.
At least that's how it usually happens in the New York session.
I think I've been in these same four accounts all night. Um, going to rotate out real quick in case I take one more trade.
Make sure I keep these locked in.
Not here.
different here.
I might go in.
This sets up the way I Thank Target 698. Target at 611. All right. Got the trade plan set.
I'm going to sit on the sidelines for now. I'm going to wait here for a second. I'm going to pay attention to some other things going on on the chart. See if I feel worthy for me to take this long here or I need to be short Bye.
Struggle's real.
getting a hard read on this right here.
I I really want to short this, but the read on it for me right now is without breaking below, you know, the overnight low right here. It's going to be kind of hard to tell cuz we just started a new 15-minute candle when they started doing this rejection here.
So, I'm not I'm just not too sure. As much as I want to short it, this could be setting up for something else here.
Could be could be fake. Could be a trap.
I just still feel like, you know, 545, 550 play to the downside.
What's going on, Romeo?
Uh, you talking about Gordon's take profit or or I mean you talking about Gordon's stop.
That's a nice short if you shorted that.
Caught this short and take profit down there the low there.
I mean, in order to make a short work below this, they're really going to have to be cooking the momentum on the oversold side because everything's on momentum. Looks like it can bounce. So, I just they haven't been strong enough to make anything matter as far as the long go unless you're scalping or but as far as as far as everything else.
I mean, you know, I don't know.
I want to short, but I would have rather got short up here around 645 or 650.
Like, I want to see them drive it up and then find rejection again.
Hey, sometimes that's what you got to do. That's great patience. That is great patience. So, what you're saying is is you didn't get chopped out because instead of playing the chop, you waited.
You just kept waiting. And that's wonderful. That is a great job.
Know a lot of people got chopped out.
Probably blue something or in red trying to play that.
We have any new members here on the stream? Let us know in chat. It's your first time here. We welcome you to the community.
Make sure you uh like and subscribe to YouTube and smash that bell notification. and that way you're always notified when we go live cuz we live stream five days a week the New York open. We're doing Tuesdays and Thursdays on the uh Asia session in the evening.
And if we've been talking about adding another night or two to the Asia side and if we do you'll be notified. You ain't even got to worry about you don't have to look us up. You'll just be notified every time we go live.
That way you won't miss anything.
Gordon said, "I ain't having this. I'm going back long."
Yeah, it Yeah. I don't know. I'm still I'm not behind I'm not behind the long just yet either. I just that's too much.
I mean, I'm still biased on the my my bias is still short until you know I got to see something. I mean, we can be we can be buying some of these pullbacks and taking the long. I could be, but I'm not uh I don't know. I don't want to put any risk on the table. I guess now that I'm green pretty good.
I know. I I rotated out to one account instead of copy trading. I figured I'd maybe trade take one more trade maybe before before we got off stream or something.
So, I'm going to sit there and watch in case I can see it setting up. I guess what I'm waiting for is to see if the shorts actually going to work out. But they keep protecting every time they come down here. So, you would think if they keep protecting it, my bias would change to the long side. But just because they keep protecting don't mean it's not going to happen. What it means is they keep testing it and sooner or later it's going to break if if they don't show signs of reviving this to the upside. And right now they've showed me nothing as far as taking a long other than the fact that they're trying to have it oversold on like the 15-minute chart. And uh I mean it's down there, but it it's got room to to the downside even on the lower time frames.
I mean you can see the kill zone here is getting closer to the 50 yard line.
Well, they can they can turn this back over right here at the 50 yard line and take it down in the oversold area. So that's why I say that a lot of times my momentum indicator, the kill zone, helps me decide whether even I want to play the game.
Helps me stay out of the chop a lot of times.
If you're enjoying the streams, don't forget to smash that like button on the stream. It helps uh YouTube's algo push it out there further in the discovery, helps us grow the community. And if we get to 25 likes, I'm going to give away a copy of the trader mindset book. It's psychology book. Uh help out with the old trading there. If you have issues with the trading and uh just a good read, you can always go back and touch base. You know, kind of like when you take notes on your trades, you can always go back and review them. Well, when you have a bad day or do this or do that or are having a hard time becoming consistent consistently profitable trader book helps with that. You know, most traders fail not because they're not and necessarily because they're a bad trader. They fail because of the emotional side of it. You know, learning to control all that gives a deeper understanding why and how to do things to help fix that.
Just really trying to wait and see if they're going to try to get this drop in here.
I tell you what, if y'all want to go long, I guess I could take a short trade and once I get in short, I wouldn't be surprised if it went 300 points up.
just like waiting and waiting.
Thing is is every time they take that low, every time they take that low, they sweep it and bounce. Sweep it and bounce.
It's like, when are you going to take that low? drive down, you know, a lot further.
Start spinning.
I guess They need to really break below 600 is the level. If they could drive us and break 600, stay under 600, then we might see the waterfall come.
just go on and get it short and see what they want to do.
Oh yeah, let me get in short. Y'all don't get in short. Let me get in short.
If I get in short, I might give y'all the long you've been looking for cuz it'll go against me.
They always like to put me in the red before I get my green back.
I bought two off manually there.
I'm going to put in a stop for two right here.
I'm going to put in a buy now. Put in a stop up here. I can protect myself all the way against this.
Come on. You got to break below 600.
Break below 600 and we're going to find what we need for the waterfall.
Not saying it's going to happen, but that's what I'm looking for.
kind of seemed like they was ready ready for the drop finally after all the waiting. But could bounce it here and take me out, which is fine.
But patience pays. I mean, I've been sitting around rotating in this other account. Maybe I get a base hit. Maybe I don't. I don't Well, I'm going to get something hard in a green.
Might not get very much if they come stop me.
Whatever.
55 bucks. Decent base hit. This is what they keep doing. You know, they should have broke harder than this, but they didn't get under 600. You see, they tap they tap what? 60150 there.
If they don't break 600, then it ain't going down. They got to close below 600 and not on the one minute chart. They need to close below 600 on say the five or 15 minute chart.
5 minutes got 2 and 1/2 minutes. So it could still go down from here. 15 minutes closes in 2 and 1/2 minutes. So you know what? I'm going to stay on for two and a half more minutes. Sure. I want to see what that does. Are they going to bounce it or are they going to let it drop?
If you're new here, let us know in chat.
We live stream five days a week the New York Open. Right now, we're doing two nights a week on the Asia session, Tuesday and Thursday. We may add a night or two to that schedule. Uh so if you want to never miss that, make sure you uh like and subscribe to YouTube and set them uh bell notifications so that you won't miss when we do go live.
won't have to look for us. It'll just send you a notification.
Uh Gordon said this is the floor. Hey, it could be Gordon, but uh I will agree with that in one and a half minutes when this candle closes.
Hey, what's going on, impulse waiver?
I'm waving right back at you.
I'm assuming first time uh longtime listener, first time caller.
Impulse waiver.
That's from Mr. Obvious. I don't know if anybody knows who that is. Mr. Obvious.
It's a little funny skit, comedia skit thing. Hey, glad to have you here. uh impulse love to have uh new members joining the community all the time and uh are 40 seconds away from the 15minute candle closing and if it keeps on pushing 30 seconds if it pushes below that overnight low I'm going More 20.
All right, Gordon. Hey, I appreciate it uh when you uh get on with us. Enjoy having your company on the stream.
You have a great rest of your evening.
Yeah, I'm going to be out of here before too long myself. There's a 15-minute candle close. It might be the floor. Um, we'll see how they try to push this arrow over next.
Impulse waiver says uh more about Elliot wave uh talking about your uh username.
you like using Elliot wave.
Just depends on traders in their journey. A lot of people don't even know what Elliot wave is.
Never even heard of it. A lot of people.
So, sorry to hear that you overtraded tonight, Gordon. But at least you locked in that green.
I like using uh paying attention to Elliot wave on the higher time frames.
Elliot wave is something that I think is important for every trader to learn and understand.
Yeah, Elliot wave is old school.
Although I mean it's it's like I said it's something that most people need to learn. I think >> Impulse, where you where you uh joining us from? You here in the US? Uh you uh another country.
These Asia sessions get to bring everybody from everywhere. Oh, Idaho.
Hey, look at Gordon. Look at Gordon. He He reminds me of somebody from the New York session.
>> I'm gone. I'm done. Oh. Oh, one micro long runner.
>> That's your wife.
>> Uh, I'm done. Oh, I got one on her.
>> Do you hear me, Gordon?
I think I think Gordon should go full port.
>> No, >> I'm just kidding.
>> I think that time maybe.
I appreciate everybody that's showing up and showing out and showing the love and support for the stream tonight on these Asia sessions. If it keeps happening that way, then there's more than likely I'm going to keep uh keep doing or trying to trying to add I'm going to keep doing Tuesday and Thursday, but I may try to add a night or two here or there. You know where where me from me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me from uh the Bible belt area or Tornado Alley or Music City. Music City, everybody knows what Music City is.
Now, just because I'm close to Music City don't mean I can sing. But if y'all want to hear me sing, I can sing on the stream and is not allowed to sing.
>> What is wrong with my voice?
>> Awful.
>> Wow.
The wife, Special K, says it's awful.
He says I can't hold a tune.
It ain't never stopped me from singing karaoke.
Look at this. Look at this. What are they trying to do to me? Trying. They're trying to suck me in to go short double bottom. They're coming down to that 30 minute 50 down there sooner or later.
But you know what? I'm green. I I What should I do?
I should probably sit on the sidelines and practice the joy of missing out because I don't Yeah. How about How about uh how about you you uh every everybody let me know.
Do we stay on stream for a little while longer or are we ready to get off stream? Y'all want to stay on stream for a little while? Maybe I just stay on for a little while longer.
If y'all are uh y'all are done with uh listening to me ran on tonight, then I can always get off here and uh catch me some eye sooner or later. I'm not going to bed. Not yet. Anyway, y'all get me wound up on these Asia streams and so then it takes me a while to wind down.
take his zone off. They don't broke below it.
Going to grab a bite and be back. If we're still here, we might still be here in pulse. I'm not going to make any promises.
Already been on for over three and a half hours. You know, as a matter of fact, I'm going to go on and get off here, actually.
Now, hey, I'm gonna uh I'm going to throw a link to the Discord in chat if anybody wants to join the Discord because I know it's probably way somewhere else in the chat right now. I've added a few times tonight, but uh you know, come come join the Discord and hang out with us and uh check things out over there. And uh like I said, if you're new here and you hadn't already, I appreciate uh you being here and hanging out with us. And uh smash that like and subscribe on the YouTube and set them bell notifications so you know every time we go live. That way you ain't got to worry about trying to look us up. And uh we live stream five days a week, New York open. And then Tuesdays and Thursdays on the Asia stream right now, but we may add some there. And then that way you'll know if we do, you'll be notified that we're going live say on a Wednesday or a Sunday or Monday or any other day.
Yeah. And tomorrow's going to be a shot in the dark as far as the New York session because it's a half day. I'm probably going to stream, but uh depends on how the stream is going. New York session. If it's really slow, uh, I will probably not be on the stream very long. I don't really need to trade tomorrow, but we will do the stream and if something sets up, we'll trade.
So, it really just depends on the turnout that we have on the stream that matters. So, with that said, we didn't hit our 25 likes tonight, so I didn't get to give the Mindset Book giveaway to somebody in chat, which I really wanted to do.
That's fine. Hopefully on the next one we can hit our goal and I like to give back to the uh people traders. The bigger our community gets, we can start giving away evals and everything else, but we need to grow to that size first.
And on that note, I want things going to try to drop to the zone I've been waiting on all night. Um, I hope everybody has a great night. Stay green, stay safe, stay sharp, don't overtrade, stay patient. The market pays. The market pays patience, not activity. You don't have to be on the chart trading. Wait, plan your trade and trade your plan. Survive the trade another day. Keep your keep your losses tight and uh try to stick to A+ setups only. Maybe some A minus or A's, but try to keep it a A+.
And then I will see everybody on the next one. Everybody have a great night and thanks for all the support.
