A little bit earlier broadcast today. 00:15 Speaker A I have some plans this evening, so I want to get it out of the way. All right, so we're looking at obviously a hindsight view of something I pointed to before it happened. 00:25 Speaker A So that way you guys got a chance to see what it was like for my private mentorship group. 00:36 Speaker A When I say these things, it's almost like an invitation for some of you to email me to ask to join that. You can't join it, okay? 00:48 Speaker A I'm teaching mentorship on YouTube, okay? So that way you don't need to reach out to me, okay? 00:56 Speaker A It's I'm teaching right here, and you didn't have to send me any credit card information. 01:00 Speaker A You didn't have to set up any kind of PayPal account. There's nothing to worry about. 01:06 Speaker A You either watch it and enjoy it and get something from it, or you never come back and watch it anymore. 01:12 Speaker A Okay, it's very simple. 01:15 Speaker A But I'm getting a lot of feedback from the comments and it's been very positive, so I thank you for that. 01:21 Speaker A It's very encouraging. 01:24 Speaker A All right, so we're looking at the E-mini Nasdaq Futures contract for the March delivery. 01:34 Speaker A If you remember, I was outlining this imbalance in here. 01:41 Speaker A Okay, and I gave you the high of this candle, the low of that candle, which it should be sitting right on that. 01:48 Speaker A So with this imbalance, we traded down to a discount. 01:53 Speaker A Back up to a premium. 01:55 Speaker A Again, measure the high to the low. 01:58 Speaker A And I'll do that for you now, because I know some of you are like, can you just do it for me? 02:02 Speaker A All right. 02:04 Speaker A So here's 50%, that's equilibrium inside this dealing range high and low. 02:08 Speaker A So we traded from these lows up into a premium above 50%. 02:14 Speaker A Below 50% is a discount. 02:16 Speaker A Up here we tried to rally up above this high, failed, broke back down below 50%. 02:21 Speaker A And it created a gap. 02:23 Speaker A Okay, so it comes up back into a premium market above 50% and fills in the gap. 02:28 Speaker A I mentioned how this type of retracement can lull traders into likely thinking it's going to go higher. 02:35 Speaker A But we're thinking down here, okay? 02:38 Speaker A The liquidity resting below here is what they're going to attack. 02:43 Speaker A So all of this consolidation just sets up another selling opportunity to run down there. 02:48 Speaker A And again, you're welcome to go back and listen to the previous discussions. 02:52 Speaker A And you'll hear me basically say that. 02:54 Speaker A We're going down here. 02:57 Speaker A All right, so it needs to rebalance this first. 03:00 Speaker A And it spends three days in that range. 03:04 Speaker A Notice that? 03:06 Speaker A Then it releases it to the downside, attacks the sell side here. 03:11 Speaker A And trades into the sell side liquidity resting below here. 03:16 Speaker A Let's go into a lower time frame hourly chart and ferret out some more information and details. 03:22 Speaker A All right, so here is the hourly chart and you can see that high end of the fair value gap. 03:28 Speaker A And the low of the fair value gap. 03:31 Speaker A We traded up into that, sold off, consolidated. 03:36 Speaker A Sold off once more, and you watched me share on the community tab. 03:41 Speaker A My live trades from yesterday. 03:44 Speaker A It was traded through TD Ameritrade. 03:47 Speaker A It was not a demo account, okay? 03:50 Speaker A So I want to go into what I used. 03:53 Speaker A What I saw. 03:55 Speaker A And then obviously, I'll show you in the account. 03:59 Speaker A Where the details were, okay? 04:02 Speaker A All right, so the market started trading. 04:08 Speaker A Rallied up, took out a short-term high on Friday. 04:13 Speaker A See that? 04:15 Speaker A Then started to break down. 04:17 Speaker A Now, overnight, I was watching this, but I was hoping that it didn't take out that low before the morning. 04:23 Speaker A I wanted to see it trade up here, take that high out, and then consolidate after running below that short-term low. 04:29 Speaker A I didn't want it to be in a hurry before the New York session in the morning. 04:35 Speaker A Because that would have set up a nice short up here. 04:37 Speaker A Where I could have taken a run under this low and then see if I can capture a re-entry. 04:44 Speaker A Which is the entry you'll actually see me do. 04:48 Speaker A And then the drop down in here. 04:50 Speaker A Now, on Monday, it was a bank holiday, and trading stops at 1:00 in the afternoon on holidays generally. 04:55 Speaker A And it resumes around the clock in the afternoon, New York time. 04:59 Speaker A And where we stopped here, we had already moved aggressively lower and stopped right there. 05:05 Speaker A So I felt very strongly that we were going to gap down below it. 05:10 Speaker A And it gave just a beautiful gap lower and run immediately. 05:15 Speaker A But I was looking at the 13590, 13586 level real time. 05:22 Speaker A And I couldn't get to my screen fast enough to close it out there. 05:27 Speaker A And I didn't want to put a limit order in because if it got really far down below it and started running, you know, really lower with a lot of speed and such. 05:34 Speaker A I didn't want to limit my profitable exit with having a limit order in. 05:38 Speaker A So I just left it open-ended. 05:42 Speaker A And I wanted to see how far it would reach down in there. 05:45 Speaker A By the time I closed the trade, it closed me at 13,612 and a quarter. 05:50 Speaker A So my entry was 13,858 and a quarter. 05:54 Speaker A The exit was 13,612 and a quarter. 05:58 Speaker A That's not a little bit of ticks. 06:01 Speaker A Okay, 240 some plus handles. 06:04 Speaker A So you take that 240 some times that by four. 06:08 Speaker A There's your tick value. 06:10 Speaker A For those that like to keep counting that. 06:14 Speaker A We're going to drop down into a 15-minute time frame. 06:20 Speaker A All right. 06:22 Speaker A So. 06:25 Speaker A We had that run on Friday's high here. 06:30 Speaker A Started to break down. 06:32 Speaker A And at 10:30 in the morning, 10:33 was the actual fill. 06:38 Speaker A So it's right in that candle. 06:42 Speaker A Right in here, I'm trading in that candle going short. 06:46 Speaker A So we're going to go into the details and look at why that was the case. 06:50 Speaker A And again, you'll see the live account login and the business, okay?
