NQ AM Session Low Of Day Long Review transcript

Welcome back folks. How are we? Hope you're doing well. Long time no see. Right. [laughter] [gasps] So, I did a couple road trips with the family and we're back home. So, I spent today getting real close to price action, real intimate, like almost loverlike. So, we're looking at the NASDAQ. Here is a daily chart. And how are you by the way? You doing well? It's wild out here, isn't it? Better get yourself prepared. It's going to get more intense.

So, daily chart here, NASDAQ. Uh, I did two executions today. Uh, one was just to, you know, thumb my nose at the social media [laughter] pundits that say that uh there is no macro, there's nothing to them. Uh, I'll talk a little bit about them. as we go through this. I'm not going to make the video very very long because I want to show you how simple this stuff is. Okay. Um, let's dial in on this little portion of price action right here.

Now, let's play devil's advocate for a moment. Okay, let's assume for a moment that you think that we could potentially go higher. Now, admittedly, that was more or less what I was looking for today. some reason to expect it to to try to make a move higher. Okay, there's a lot of indications on the daily chart, relative equal highs, um, buy side and a reluctancy on the part of price action to to want to go lower recently while I was away.

So if you watch my executions and the first one I showed this morning, this wick here on the daily chart, I was referring to that and part of this side of balance outside efficiency. So I have a volume imbalance there up to this candlestick's low and it looked like this. from the bullish perspective. We'll take that extension thing off. We don't need that. So, price worked down in here on Thursday of last week and then closed up higher.

Now, whenever I see these types of formations, I like to look at the midpoint or consequent encroachment as I call it. So by measuring that from the close of that candlestick down to its low that point right there. Now if you look at this price it's at 30,566.25. We have just settled for regular trading hours and I'm sorry electron trading hours and we have the close at 30,566.25. 25. So, we didn't close above that midpoint level.

It looks nice, but it's a little little concerning for me. I want to see how we open at 6:00 p.m. Eastern time. In about 50 minutes or so, I should be done this video obviously, but you may not be able to see it yet on YouTube. But how we open and how we trade into the midnight hour tonight, Eastern time, will be a little bit more indicative of what I'll expect because we traded down below last Thursday's low. And we're going to annotate that here.

That's where that 30,370 level comes from. So when we talk about pools of liquidity um things that are pertinent to your journaling uh observing keeping data uh this certainly is fitting the criteria. Okay. Okay. So, you would you would have looked for this low. You would have looked for this consequent encouragement level there cuz it's a wick. And we have a minor buy side here. And we have a minor buy side there, which we're not going to annotate that here.

All right. So, I'm going to take this blue shaded area off. And I'm going to change this line to red indicating a sellside liquidity pool. And this we'll keep as green. Okay. Just to be mindful that the 30,568 half level is simply the halfway point of last Thursday's daily candlesticks wick and it is a discount wick because it's below the body. All right, so we're going to take this information. We're going to go right on into the one minute time frame and [clears throat] we'll look at price action over here.

All right. And well, I thought I had the uh economic calendar copied or I was going to drop it right here, but there was really nothing on today's menu for economic data. Uh it is a non-farm payroll week, so I always encourage my students to try to find a way to engage price action on the Monday of every non-farm payroll. Now, beyond that, if you're brand new, I try to shy away from inspiring new students to try to participate on Mondays.

It It's a little bit harder for new students to grasp some of the consolidation aspects that typical weeks that are non non non from payroll, uh, they they tend to be a little bit more problematic for new students. Now, it doesn't mean you can't trade them, okay? Okay. But over the years, people have taken my comments out of context and said that ICT says never trade on Mondays, never trade on Fridays, never trade on Saturdays or the second Tuesday of you.

They got all these little things because they're usually trying to market something. And I want you to take a look at how price worked up inside of Let's go into regular trading hours real quick. So, here's regular trading hours right here. Okay. Okay, so we opened up with a discount regular trading hours opening range gap. Okay, so just a gap lower basically is all I'm saying. So where we get the settlement from last Friday at 4:14 p.m.

Eastern time down to the opening price at 9:30 Eastern time today, that is the discount gap. So it opened lower than where we settled the previous trading day in regular trading hour settlement. So that's the last print there. When you grade that by simply having the the fib on it, okay, and this is where the science comes in. Okay, you grab your little Fibonacci tool down here and you're going to anchor it to the close of last Friday's settlement for regular trading hours.

Again, be mindful the lower right hand corner down here. See where it says RTH? It makes it easy for this to appear. If you're looking through the medium of electronic trading hours, you're not going to see this gap like this. Okay. So, we draw it down into the opening price at 9:30. Now, we can grade that. And we'll just leave it at that. Okay. So, now [snorts] here's what I was met with. We opened lower. The next candlestick we went a little bit lower and we traded up and notice what it did not do.

It did not touch the lower quadrant level of the opening range gap. notice that now as I teach order flow, not the stuff that Mickey Mouse, uh, bookw writers, authors, course sellers, you know, all the people out there with the mythology that, uh, somehow knowing how many people bought at a specific price is somehow indicative of what price is going to do in the future, which actually has nothing to do with it. But order flow in regards to how the candlestick either trades to a specific level as I outline or if it fails to trade to it.

So a failure in delivery to a specific key level that we would already have expected and and to study on on price action like the opening range gap here just simply the lowest quadrant level. That's simple. That's not complex. But if it can't even trade there and it starts to sell off, well that's indicative of weakness where in normal procedure is we'll look for the likelihood of price try to get up into middle of the gap or consequent encouragement.

But we don't want to see that if we can't see at least the lower quadrant trade too. Now a normal function would be trade up to lower quadrant come down hit some measure of sellside side and then shift the market structure then at least return back into half gap then if it's bearish you can roll over at that point or 3/4 gap closure or full gap closure but it's Monday and we were given a gift. Okay, we were given a gift.

We're going to go into this level down here, right? This level right here, that 30,370 level, which was last Thursday's daily low for December contract for NQ or NASDAQ. So, Christmas NQ futures last Thursday's daily low when we have a gap. Okay? And and I'm going very very slow cuz I want you to understand how simple the logic is. Now it's not simple because you probably know it like the back of your hand. But these are things that I teach and these things go forward in the future repeating the same type of logic and the phenomenon repeats.

So for the folks out there trying to automate my stuff and then making videos about it or going on the news in your local country saying my stuff doesn't work because you try to automate it. you just simply don't know all the rules. And I get it and that's cool. But if we have a gap lower, so this is like gap and go type premise. Gaps lower, tries to go higher into the gap, fails to trade to the lowest quadrant level.

Very, very, very indicative. Okay, now watch. We're going to add that. That's the lowest octant. Now, what did I teach? We traded to it and through it, but we couldn't even touch the lower quadrant. But look where the body closes. It's not laying on or above the lowest octant level. Is that bullish or is that bearish based on what good old ICT teaches? What real order flow is? See, order flow is not what has already been executed on.

That's not that's not flow. That's execution. And you need to know what's going to happen next. See, flow is a state of movement. It's in movement. You're looking at static old news, old data points, what people had already ex executed on. That's not flow. That's an execution. It's it's done. You need to know what is going to happen after those data points. It's the hard right edge. That's what we're contending with as traders.

So, my logic is superior because I'm telling you what it's going to do next and why. It matters not how many people buy or sell at a particular level. I don't care what the volume number is of how many trades there was around a particular level. I don't care about that. I don't care and have any faith in Goldbach. I don't have any faith in any of those things. So, for the people that send me emails while I was away asking me, "What do you think about Goldbach?

What do you think about this? Are you secretly using Volume Profile? Are you secretly using uh Goldbach?" No, I don't have any faith in them. I'm going to I'm just going to show you here today what I just did and go look at those people that say I'm secretly doing it and see if they made $60,000 today. I guarantee you they didn't. So, here we have the logic that I teach that body. Look where it closes below. Look, I'm going to zoom in.

I'm going to zoom in right there. See how it fails to lay on or go above the lowest octant level. If you take the gap from where we settled at 4:14 p.m. Eastern time last Friday and where we opened at 9:30 Eastern time this morning, which is the beginning of new session or trading hours, and you break that up in equal eight points or eight portions, the lowest eighth is down here. That's an oct. The lowest quarter of it, this quadrant, is that level.

Two things are being indicated here with real order flow as I teach it because it's algorithmic. There's nothing algorithmic about how many people bought or sold at a particular price level. I promise you that has no bearing on what an algorithm does. It doesn't care about that. It's it's the same thing as I'm going to base my attire, what I'm going to wear today based on yesterday's weather. What are you going to do?

You're going to look at the weather that's expected for today, the next coming hours. You don't care what the weather was yesterday. You want to know what's going to happen next because you need to plan to see what you're going to be met with. You're not reacting to it. You're planning an engagement. You're going to engage that data. You're going to work with what is available, but you're not reacting. You're not becoming uh knee-jerk response to what price is going to do next.

We're not waiting on seeing how many people buy at a particular price level before we do something or sell at a particular price level because none of those things cause price to go up. There's no difference between that than saying here is some other indicator in the past. It's done this, it's done that. And that's the problem. I've met with other people's school of thought. And I went through all of the other schools of thought.

Been doing this for over 33, it'll be 34 years in November 5th of this year. I've been through all of it, folks. There's nothing new under one. I've seen all of it. I've tried everything. And if it worked, I would tell you. But it's no difference. There's no difference between any of those retail logic because they all build this mythology around that's the thing that makes price go up and down. That's the thing that times the market.

That's the thing. And if it isn't subscribing to those types of views, what happens is you're met with it's either a random walk theory and nobody knows what price is going to do and it's just pure gambling that at that point. And if you subscribe to that then, God bless you. I I don't know why anybody would risk money if if they hold that view that it's completely random. I wouldn't trade I wouldn't trade if it was completely random because what what advantage would you have?

I I don't have my faith in my ability to guess. Like I I I don't think that that's reasonable. So I say that because I want you to see the logic that I teach here. Two signatures in price action. The candle high here failed to get to the lower quadrant, lowest rather. And then the close on this candlestick and the next candlestick body. Neither of those were able to lay on or above the lowest octant of the gap. This is the gap right here.

See that? That big separation between the closing price last Friday at 4:14 p.m. Eastern time and the opening price at 9:30 Eastern time today. That's the regular trading hours or RTH O RG open range gap, not to be confused with the opening range, which is the first 30 minutes of trading from 9:30 to 10:00 Eastern time. So, that told me that I'm looking for something lower, but we had a bit of business come out today.

Okay, we had a piece of information come out and one of my followers, I I don't want to say a student because I don't think the person was a student. Um, and he really wasn't really following me, but he was responding to something I posted this morning, which was during the presession hours where I proved that the macro absolutely does work. And I I don't look at news feeds. I don't try to trade news. I don't try to do those things, but using the logic of pre-market session, overnight session, and I'll get into that.

Uh, I did a small little scalp and 6,990 bucks. Uh, came by way of a single run just like that. And I'll get into that in a moment, but for now, I want you to think about how if this is in fact bearish, where could it draw down to? Well, we know that Thursday, last Thursday, that's that low down here. You see that? Remember, this is last Thursday's daily low that we pulled up from the daily chart. And this line right here is that halfway point of the wick of last Thursday's trading consequent encroachment.

Remember, keep your eye on those that price. Okay? So when we started to drop lower and we meandered around in here and then we broke lower, came back up, sold off, went down below that liquidity. My expectation, okay, not my knee-jerk reaction. Let me chase price. Even though I think it's going to go lower here, I'm just going to stalk what I'm looking for. What is that? I want to see if they're going to take it all the way down to Thursday's low.

That's that red level there. If it can take it down there, that is helpful. It's beneficial. Why? Because it's diametrically opposed to what the public, the retail traders were expecting. How do I know that? Well, when I posted the trade I did on Twitter or X, if you call it that now, um, I simply refuse to call it X. I just don't like it. Sounds pornographic, doesn't it? So, if you look at the little vignette I made this morning, very, it's like two minutes long, two and a half minutes long, the uh the response was primarily just aimed at proving that macros are in fact a reality.

And just because you don't know how to use them doesn't mean they don't exist or that they're not valid. Additionally, macros are not a time when volume, the number of buying and selling should increase. Stop listening to people that know what they're talking about. Okay? It's simply when the price will spool. That means movement. And you do not need a lot of volume to make price move. You just need one contract. And I know that flies in the face of all you volume profile guys or you your VSA guys, all these different volume dependent analysis concepts, but you don't need a lot of volume.

You just need one transaction mark to market wherever it is that change from previous settlement to now. That rate of change can be perpetuated by one contract. Don't believe me? study volume in the sense that you look at a trend towards the end of the trend. If it's moving up, volume will start to go lower, but then you'll see these big blowoff moves creating the last portion of that move. So, why why are you not arguing that that volume should have perpetuated price because it's the buying pressure when volume is decreasing?

See, it's a it's a matter of knowing what you're really talking about versus pariting what everybody else says. If your logic is flawed or incomplete, you will feel like you're smart or superior or you're part of the in crowd, but you're not really getting to the core reasons or central tenants as to why price is moving at all or when it should. And I've spent my entire life doing those very things, tackling those mysteries, those puzzles, those enigmas.

Okay? And I have to admit that, you know, with the help of the Lord, I believe I cracked that. So, it's using these types of things I'm teaching you here that this morning when I shared that little scout during the pre session hours between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. Eastern time, the response was from some guy. I don't know who he is, but he I guess he felt like he was smart. [laughter] He says, "Uh, next time say what really caused that move to happen and act like a professional trader, implying that his post said something to the effect that there's going to be a talk between the US and Iran and that was the knee-jerk reaction." Now, because I don't look at that stuff, I used that person in his post and I know it was a man, it was a male because the bravado behind his statement and the snarky little smiley face like he was correcting me.

I know that he felt that the market was going to go higher and he justified it after the fact with news. I don't do that. Okay, first of all, I don't believe that the news headlines can be consistently and routinely used in a manner that's profitable. I I tried that as a younger guy. Uh there was guys out there I followed and I per I purchased their services and tried to mimic what they were doing and they promised it was going to be so accurate, even non-farm payroll stuff and it fell right on its face and they're just scams. their money grabs and they don't care.

They just these people out there are trying to get some money and then they disappear off the internet. So, because that was presented to me and it is a retail trader despite what they say about being a pro trader for 15 years or whatever they're claiming to be. [laughter] That told me right away because of that headline, which I didn't see. I didn't know anything about it because I'm not looking for it. I don't read headlines like that.

Um, there was no news on the the docket today for the economic calendar. So, I'm I'm thinking, okay, well, I know now that the retail perspective is bullish. It's absolutely bullish because they think that there's going to be the end of the war or it's going to be moving closer to ending the war between the US and Iran and Israel. So because of that that perpetuates the idea that the narratives with these two signatures here also that it's a gap and go in other words it's a gap lower retail's been fed an idea that you know we could be seeing some productive talks maybe maybe not I personally don't think so but you that's neither here nor there and then we moved lower against that narrative that it should be bullish for price.

Well, as you can see, it really wasn't all that bullish, was it? And it took it all the way down to last Thursday's low. That is effective running on any idea that would be viewed as bullish by less informed street money or retail traders going down to last Thursday's low. Okay, I know that that's a strong likelihood by in and of itself because we can see it on the daily chart. Two, now ring in the standard deviations and projections I teach you with using gaps.

What gap are we going to refer to here? The regular trading hours opening range gap. That's this right here. Now, watch what happens. I'm going to go in. I'm going to highlight that. And I want the fib, not the the actual box. So, there's our fib levels. Okay. I'm going to scrunch this up so you can see the full range of that there. And we're going to add a couple standard deviations. We're going to cycle through them.

Okay. This is what I'm doing when I'm trading the daily highs and the lows. You know what nobody else teaches you how to do, but I'm out here every week. [laughter] Not just showing you a chart with arrows on it, okay? I'm doing the execution. I'm placing a hard stop. I'm managing a position. I'm taking partials when I feel inclined to do so. And you're not seeing Photoshop. I've never used Photoshop. I've never photoshopped a broker statement.

I've never photoshopped any of those types of things. despite despite what you hear people talking about. Okay, but looking at the logic like this. Okay, watch. We're going to go and take there's a negative one level there. Okay, you see that? See what happened? Now watch. Look right here. Look right in here. Negative one line shows up right there. Now, that's below half the wick of last Thursday's daily discount wick.

Remember that's that level right here. And don't let me confuse you. Don't don't feel like that I'm complicating something. The only thing we're going to be doing is we're going to get an agreement with standard deviation and a pool of liquidity. That's what daily highs and lows work off of. And if it's not that, it's trading down to a key inefficiency or my fair value gaps. Could be an inversion fair value gap, regular standard fair value gap.

Either or. It's either efficiency, I'm sorry, inefficiency or liquidity. That's what creates daily highs and lows. That's it, folks. That's it. That's all it does. Now, when we look at adding 0.5 to that negative one. Now, watch. This is going to drop down a little bit lower. Ready? Watch. Boom. Where's that? Well, it's no longer close to this. It's further away from the half of the gap of last Thursday's discount wick.

But we're moving closer to that pool of liquidity. Now we're going to change it to -2. See that? You don't see it, do you? -2 right here. Watch. I'm going to take the actual raw level away. That line. Take it away. I'm going to highlight it here first and take it away. There's two two standard deviations of the opening range gap. So it's this range. There's one of them. Two of them. So it's two standard deviations of the opening range gap.

Find that in golf. Find that in volume profile. Find that in BSA. Find it in Elliot Wave. Find it in anything else because it's not there folks. Larry Williams never heard of either. That's the level I'm keying off of with the pool liquidity that's right there based on last Thursday's daily low. Now, up to this point, how hard is that? Now, if you don't know the logic and the things I'm teaching, it's impossible for you to see that.

And that's what I've been doing for decades, sitting amongst all of you, watching you all come down to the watering hole, and I'm picking you all off one by one. You don't hear me. You don't see me. You can't smell me. You don't even know I'm there. It's almost like I'm a ghost in the machine. Market trades down. Now look, folks, pay attention. Pay close attention. We're going to take the perspective that we now have here and we're going to go to electronic trading hours.

All right. So, now we have electronic trading hours right here. And we're going to bring this up. Make it a little bit taller. And we'll scrunch this down like that. Right there. A little bit more. I need to get the whole There it is. So, I need this bit of information down here. So, we have two lines sharing um a bit of business or data, which is last Thursday's daily low. And we have two standard deviations of the opening range gap.

That's the difference between last Friday's 4:14 p.m. Eastern times last print or final print for regular trading hours. It still traded until 5:00 or 4:59 last Friday, didn't it? But that was in electronic trading hours. We're only measuring the movement and fluctuations between regular trading hours and then when it resumes 9:30 Eastern time. Okay. I got a question and I get this a lot every month. What happens if they ever go to full 24 hours?

I have tools that I have never talked about. I have concepts that I've never talked about that are stronger and better than this. I don't care. In fact, I hope they do. I hope they do 24 hours. I hope they trade 24/7. I hope they do because I have things that are literally going to turn the entire industry upside down. And they're going to really write books about me. [snorts] So, we have the market dropping down in here.

We have nice clean relative equal highs here. We drop lower down in here. Now look, look where are the bodies? They're not on or below that pool of liquidity at 30,370 and it didn't close at or below the second standard deviation of the opening range gap for regular trading hours. everything I just presented to you. How these two lines here, you can see the two the levels here. That's the standard deviation level behind that.

Um, let me see if I can get it to pop up. That was the standard deviation level I just took off. That's just simply last Thursday's low. Now, I'm going to control Z it back on. So, there's the two things sharing that. Is that precise enough for you? I think that's pretty prec. I like saying that. Now, here's the fun part. There's a lot of people out there and some of them actually are my students. They go around they tell everybody that macros don't exist.

It's not a thing. Or they'll say, "I've went through all this process of looking at the volume in macros and sorry ICT, but there's no proof that macros move around or do anything in price." That's a neophy perspective. That's a noob. That's someone that literally has no idea or even a grasp of what it is I've ever taught about them. Macros are simply a spooling time. I don't care what the volume is. You never hear me say there's a number of contracts I want to see.

I don't care about that. I don't care about that. All of you care about that. And you're all worried about the incorrect things because you're all wrong. You're all wrong. And despite how many weeks and months and years that I'm out here telling you what makes these markets go up and down and then executing on it and providing precision that none of you ever seen before consistently. And before you think this is bragging, I'm responding to dozens of people that have left comments or they've mailed me letters or they have emailed me with fake titles to the email that makes you want to open them up because it sounds emotional, sounds like I need your help type thing.

And then they say, "Sorry, I had to use that to get you open that email up." I'm not going to, you know, say who you are, but I don't like those types of things. And when I see them, I block your email address because you're taking advantage of my attention. Well, I don't have a lot of time to look at email. Uh when I do see a headline in the email that kind of like brings my attention to it, if it's not sincere, if it doesn't really line up, it's just a gotcha that you I got in front of a line of people that email you.

Um I I I I take offense to that. I think it's ignorant. It's it's rude. But a lot of that was actually coming and it may have been the same person really. But um it was along the lines of you know macros don't do this, they don't do that. Um can you show me how macros this? And then do you posted something I thought was kind of funny this morning. He was the first post actually saw us on X. something to the fact that, you know, he was apologizing for some of the students of mine that go around, they really make a big deal trying to promote the idea that macros are not a thing.

And if it's not part of your repertoire, you don't need them. But going around telling the rest of the community that there's nothing to them, you're really putting a billboard sign in front of your face saying, "I am the the slowest smooth brain in the community as it relates to my concepts." because you're denying what I prove every single day. Every single day. Just because you don't know how to use them doesn't make them any less important or valid.

Here's where we have another example of it. The market trades down into 1050. Okay, so we're trading down into the macro 1050 1110. It's the last 10 minutes of the hour and the first 10 minutes of the new hour. Why does a macro even have any impact? Because large institutions, they have to space their purchasing or sale orders. They have to spread them out. Okay? And it matters not how much the volume of their buying and selling because it's not the pressure of the number of contracts.

It's the aspect of that order flow coming into the marketplace at a scheduled time. Now, when the market is allowed to elongate and protract, that means spooling, that means movement, and it doesn't require a lot of volume to do that because the markets are algorithmic. It's just going to keep offering a price when they want it to. And I understand that doesn't fit the the comfortable narrative that you think that it's buying and selling pressure.

That's not what makes markets go up and down. But that's the fact. And it's the last 10 minutes and the first 10 minutes. That period of 20 minutes is extremely important in terms of knowing what the market should do, where it should go and the health of the underlying price run or the daily schematic or profile. When I say profile, that's not volume profile. It's how the daily chart will form that candlestick intraday. what fluctuations, what extreme to the high and the low and what minor sell side and buy side will it encourage traders to to participate in and get stuck and get burned on.

All of those things are visualized better if you just take a chart. Okay, just take a chart and map out macro times. There's nothing else on the chart but just that. You're going to see very key price runs begin and end at those points just by themselves. That right there is going to be a laugh in the face of everybody that says it doesn't have anything to it. There's no substance to it to say. And it's simply them simply illustrating ignorance on their part.

They have no idea what they're talking about. And then when you have me, the author of this stuff, I'll come in here and I'll tell you exactly what's going to happen. Boom. There it is. I'm buying and selling the daily highs and lows. I'm not getting lucky once in a while. Every single week you can come out here and you see me doing this stuff. Now, let's paint this narrative a little bit, okay? Because the video is getting a little too long.

The market trades down to two standard deviations of open range gap. It goes against the narrative that retail traders would see as it should go up because they said there's going to be a talk about maybe quieting down this war. Wonderful. You have everything diametrically opposed against the weak hands, street money, the slow money, the smooth brain traders, the people that have no idea what's going on. And the indicator followers, all of them out there doing something trusting that their little wiggle waggle artifacts that they put on their chart is going to cause the market to go up and down.

And it doesn't. It goes right down to a key level of liquidity, sweeps it, and creates a little wick in there. Now, I graded that wick. It means I want to split it in half. I'm going to give it the likelihood to see if it can trade down there. If it would have done that, I would have went long there, but it didn't. And we're getting close to the middle of the macro time. If I don't see any spooling in the first half, I know, not I hope.

I know. Okay, hear that. That's authority. That's authorship. I know that the last 10 minutes of that macro, it's going to spool. It's going to run. And I want to be in there. But the first 10 minutes, it's okay if I don't get the the lowest low if I'm trying to go long or the highest high. if I'm going short because I know the last 10 minutes I'm going to be able to participate in it. It just means I'm going to forfeit the the lower long entry or the highest short entry in price.

So, we have this little fair value gap right there ahead of that liquidity run at last Thursday's low. Now, I've done a lot of jawbon and I promise you if you leave a comment saying I talk too much or you don't get to the point, I promise you I will mute you on my channel. No one will see your comment. I will never see your comment again because I think you're unemploy you're unimportant. I I could care less to ever see anything from you ever again.

I'm literally teaching you something that you would have never learned from anyone else. You would never see this measure of precision. the timing aspect of what I'm sharing. The world has never seen that before. It's never seen it before. I promise you, if you listen to me and you go through the motions of how I'm teaching you how to study and collect the information over a period of one calendar year, you will know more about how price and why price and when price will do things than anybody on this spinning rock will ever be able to teach you.

Period. Mic drop. I promise you that you will never need to buy courses. You will never need to buy books. You'll never need to join services. You'll never need to do anything. You won't have to watch videos, mine included. You simply want to be an independent thinker. And I'm trying to teach that to you. And some of you are encouraging other people to not think that way because you want to build a a base. You want to build something that you're going to start monetizing.

You may not do it now, but you're going to. I promise you, everybody starts off here. They're all ICT trader until they got something to sell. Then they try to distance themselves. That's fine. That's fine. But you're never going to be able to say that you know something in my own work better than me. And I don't I haven't taught everything I know. But I know everything you know. I know everything you know, but you have no idea what cards I'm holding.

None. No idea. So, we go down to a macro. But we go down to a liquidity pool. We go down to a a second standard deviation of the retro trading hours opening range gap. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. And we get the inclusion of the bodies not going down to the second standard deviation or below that liquidity of last Thursday's low. Is that bullish or bearish? As I teach real algorithmic order flow, it's bullish. It's bullish, folks.

And how about this pass right here? Look at the body. It didn't get down there. So what does that mean? I can't wait. Now I have to execute. I have to participate. So if I'm looking for price to get back to at a very minimum take out these relative equal highs, that's a real easy lowhanging fruit objective. Then we have this wick right here, which I'll talk about in a moment. And then we have the 9:30 opening price, which is the beginning of regular trading hours for Monday, today, September 28th, 2026.

So that's this candlestick right here, 9:30. That opening price, price tends to use that like a magnet. It'll draw right back up into it. Okay? And when we look at how price turned in here, it started to grind higher, came back down in, used the gap here as my inversion for a bang gap. No, Chris Lori did not teach that period mic drop rallies up, consolidates a little bit in here. We have this down close candle. If you grade the high to the low, that's going to be a cibby that you would see.

It's touching the line. You do it on your charts. I'm not doing everything for you. But now, because we went above it, and if we're looking for it to go higher, this is going to act as what? An inversion for Vangu. I'm not drawing it out. I'm just watching price action. And it should behave that way. Well, just for the benefit of showing you There's your inversion fair value gap inside of the graded price leg from high to the low.

The bodies are meandering around the halfway point. Same thing here. Then we start leaving again and then boom, we resume back in bullish order flow. We're in a buy program. The market should use this gap. The bodies here went a little bit above it to indicates any retracement. Eventually, it's going to come back through that. We get through here, trade back down into this buy sign bounce side efficiency. This is institutional referral entry drill.

And it's also half of that Thursday on the daily chart. Last Thursday's discount wick. That's that halfway point, the consequent encouragement. Look what it's doing. It's accumulating right there. Ain't that nice? Now price rallies up. We get above the relative equal highs. We trade up into this wick's consequent encroachment there. And if we look at what we see in response to this gap. Now you might look at that gap and say, "Okay, I like this gap.

I'm going to call that my first presented fair value gap. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that." But what I teach is if you have a wick, if you have a wick to the left of the gap, you have to grade that. Now, there's two things you could have went with. You could have went with this, could have graded that. There's nothing inherently wrong with that. But me, I'm looking at this wick here. It could touch the 9:30 opening price, which it did right there.

And then I want to see does the bodies stay in the upper half here and not trade above and close above 9:30 opening price because we're bumping the low of the regular trading hours opening range gap. See that that shaded orange area. It's just trading back up to that. It's trading back to 9:30 opening price. It's also trading in the upper half of this. So we have this this is this is what was the reason behind me scaling out at this point.

Look where the bodies are. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect delivery. It's telling me that it's done enough. It's not showing me any willingness to want to go higher. It did not close with a body at or above 9:30 opening price. It did not close with a body at or above the low of the regular trading hours opening range gap. The bodies are staying inside of the upper half of that wick right there. See what's happening there, folks?

That's real order flow. That's real technical science. That's real understanding of what price is going to do and why it should do it. No indicator involved. It's open, high, low, and close. I said this back on baby pips. Okay. 2009. Everything is as simple as that. Open, high, low, close. The secret sauce, the ingredient that's missing, time. Time. So when we look at the executions. There's me entering inside the immersion feat right here.

Look. See? Look right here. There's the entry. It's not sexy, but it fits the criteria. I have to give it a chance to get down into the air because that would have been a better fill. But if it doesn't give it to me, then I just have to I have to get in there and participate. It's not chasing price when you're entering inside the inversion fair gap. It would be chasing if I was buying it up here and then at uh that entry here is there.

So we have there and then we have there. So essentially both of them basically very close to the same 30,199 30,1 I'm sorry 30,397.75 and then the other one is 30,399. Okay so not not much by way of uh disparity between the two prices and both being inside the inversion per that was already on my chart before I executed. Okay, you can watch the full 2-hour execution. Everything was outlined. Everything was outlined as to why I was expecting the 30,370 level because the public was being primed to expect it to go higher.

Market trades around in here, uses this inversion pair gap there, then uses it there, and then we have this initial little response here. But that candlestick already told you it's going to go higher. The close is above the midpoint and then we accumulate here institutional orderflow entry drill at last Thursday's consequent encouragement with its discount wick on the daily chart. You go look at that and then we run all the way up into here and then look right there and then right there and then finally my stop loss got stopped out there.

So friends and neighbors, think when I tell you a macro gives you a secret perspective that the normal everyday trader isn't looking for. I don't care. I do not care who tells you there's another there's a different time of macro. There's a time that's over here. It's 17 minutes after the hour. It's 20 minutes after the hour. It's 40 minutes after the hour. They're not macros. You're looking at coincidence. I'm not she I'm not teaching you.

I'm not sharing you examples of coincidence. My stuff is technical science. Everything else is Mickey Mouse. That's not bragging. We're talking facts. We're talking statistical probabilities. When it's in my hands, it's perfect. When everybody else out there trying to automate it and they say to themselves, "We failed to automate it, so therefore it's fake." What do you do with this? Look at this. Entering at the lows, exiting at the highs, and then getting stopped out with two contracts on a 10 car or contract run.

Now, listen to me, folks. All your core sellers, all your talking heads, all your little heroes and your champions, all your little most money in XYZ company, most profitable this pro, they can't trade like this, folks. And I've been begging for it for years. Just come out here and show me something that executes better than this, and I'll be your student. [laughter] Come on. That's the head you want to hang on your wall, right?

ICT is my student. I promise you that will never happen. I I promise you. I promise you it will never happen because this isn't even my best stuff. This is just the simple stuff. This is me streamlining things down to make it very, very simple. I taught you here with Forex lectures, standard deviations, simple little approach to using what I was teaching with Asian ranges, flout, central bank dealers ranges. I'm just simply using that logic with the record trading open range gap.

See, and you think it's something new and it's hard, it's complex. It's not. It's not. But when you're trying to add everything else because you think it's necessary, you don't have any other things being mentioned here. I didn't talk about the first of every value got. I didn't talk about, you know, first reflection. Nothing. nothing except for what I just showed you here, liquidity, time, and narrative. The the public is going to be goated in to expecting higher prices in the morning session.

And then the rugpool lower down to where I'm I'm waiting. I'm not reacting. I'm waiting. I'm anticipating. I'm expecting. I am stalking, hunting, pursuing, overtaking, bagged, and tagged. So hopefully you found something in this insightful. Hope it inspired you to keep on keeping on. And until I talk to you next time, Lord willing, be safe.
