Chapters
Justin accidentally goes live on YouTube while in a mentorship call, turning it into a charting session for viewers.
Announces moving the mentorship community from Discord to Circle to consolidate videos and community in one place.
Reviews economic news for the week: Monday 8:30 news, Tuesday CAD news, Wednesday FOMC statement and press conference at 2:30, Thursday 8:30 news, Friday no news.
Discusses the SMT (Sweep of Market Timing) at the lows, noting it's the second or third time, and expects a move to internal liquidity.
Shares a tweet: 'The foundation of my trading is the draw on liquidity' and explains why it's crucial for understanding manipulation, SMT validity, and order flow.
Markets move for four reasons: hunt liquidity, rebalance to inefficiencies, rebalance to equilibrium, and generate liquidity.
Emphasizes that context is the most important aspect of ICT concepts; without context, fair value gaps and other tools are meaningless.
Uses a chart example to show that a clear draw on liquidity without manipulation is not a valid reason to expect price to move; you must be reactive.
If you don't know the draw on liquidity, the best action is to do nothing and wait for the market to show you a clear setup.
Success comes from 'arriving' at your model and waiting for it to set up, not 'striving' to force trades; this leads to effortless wins.
Discusses different entry types: initial break, retracement to FVG, and inverse FVG, emphasizing that the initial break is preferred for precision and minimal drawdown.
Price is fractal; models repeat on all timeframes. Aligning multiple timeframes with the same bias increases conviction and timing.
Retail traders make up less than 1% of volume, so the market won't change for them; institutional order flow dominates.
Warns against constantly switching strategies after a bad week; consistency is key, not adding more indicators or theories.
Advises to identify the specific reason for blowing funded accounts (e.g., overleveraging, overtrading) and learn that lesson before retrying.
Speculates that 24/7 trading could reduce volatility in sessions, but is uncertain until it happens.
The session emphasizes the importance of understanding draw on liquidity and context to trade effectively, while also covering practical aspects like weekly planning and community updates. Justin stresses being reactive and patient, and ends with a prayer and encouragement for the week.

[00:01] questions because we're already starting to get at it but these blue columns is there an indicator that's on indicator that's on your chart I would click I would right click your chart
[00:15] actually you know what it might be um it might might be where is
[00:27] it I think you have after hours electronic trading hours any indicators on the chart I'm not super positive on what
[00:44] chart I'm not super positive on what that is Miami after you spend some time there I mean could I live in Miami probably but like do I want to live in Miami right
[00:59] like do I want to live in Miami right now not really not really liquidity in the charting sessions you talked about it uh being the key to your trading yeah of course we can go over that
[01:17] YouTube we'll do it we'll do it oh no I feel so bad I feel so bad we it oh no I feel so bad I feel so bad we we have to do live
[01:49] talk about everything that we need to talk about tonight um let me just change a live charting session I did not mean to go live guys I did not mean to go live you guys are lucky you're getting a charting session tonight I went we are
[02:04] currently in our call on the mentorship going over this week so you're lucky we're we're in here tonight you guys got a charting session let me uh might as a charting session let me uh might as well just get a title set up
[02:47] like guess so you guys are going to get a taste of uh what what the mentorship is all about tonight all tonight all right make sure everything's good here
[03:07] answer tonight we're going to go over some basic stuff first and then we'll some basic stuff first and then we'll kind of get into that a little bit how do I exactly know when to stop trading we talk about that
[03:35] announcement that we were talking about earlier that I want to um get into to share with you guys um is that we are switching over to circle now the reason we're switching over to Circle from Discord is number one we we're currently
[03:47] using podia to host the mentorship video so all of the 60 videos of curriculum are on podia right now and then we go live and use the Discord as our live and use the Discord as our community so it's easier for us to okay
[04:00] brother if you're going to spam you're just going to get banned put all the videos in one place and have our community in one place too and it's
[04:13] freshens up the space a little bit it's fun to use also Sarah and I are working on the psychology course for all the people that are watching on YouTube we Traders she's been a psychologist and a therapist for the last 10 years she owns
[04:30] a business she also is a Trader herself and we are working on genuinely like the best psychology course that I think has probably ever been like actually made in in in the trading space um I'm super super excited to show you guys kind of
[04:43] what we've been working on for that with the mentorship students so a little bit before we kind of jump in um my students on the circle change or any stuff like
[04:55] start doing sessions later in this week right now we're doing a Discord just so we can give some time for everybody to get over in
[05:16] all up right now so if it's all kind of jagged it'll it'll be fixed this week all right anyway let's jump in and first things first that I want to jump into is just a little bit of an analysis
[05:30] that or some stuff that you guys want to go over that we can dive into later but analysis on the chart take a look at some news going into the week see what we kind of want to see so first things first going into
[05:44] Monday 8:30 news on Monday at 8:30 so that's actually great so we have red Fuller news going into Monday so we'll hop on live tomorrow um and trade together we'll see kind of what the data highs or lows looks like obviously where
[05:56] we are in the chart right now if we can put something in in at 8:30 to kind of want to do I know we're kind of starting to contemplate if we want to possibly see a move back to the upside this week as we've been selling off a lot but
[06:10] obviously I'm not just going to Hope or expect to see that we want to be reactive to what price is showing us we want to let the market tell us what the story is going to be be reactive to it and so right now order flow is
[06:22] continuously being bearish so unless stated otherwise I'm going to continue stated otherwise I'm going to continue to have a bearish bias Tuesday uh looks like we have CAD news but no red Flor news on Tuesday for us
[06:35] Wednesday we have FMC statement is do we have meeting here press conference at 2:30 so we'll actually be most likely trading in the PM session on trading in the PM session on Wednesday Thursday 8:30 news as well
[06:48] looks good Friday no news so Tuesday Friday we don't have news everything else looks great does that mean that we don't trade no but we do have to be aware of kind of see where we are in relationship to price so
[07:00] first things first take a look at some charts and uh let's talk about what I want to see going into tomorrow so um we talked about this um a little bit on Friday of kind of what we wanted to see but this smt got put in at the lows
[07:13] now one thing that I want to recognize is this is kind of either the either the third or the second time that we've put in a bigger time frame smt low now the other previous times that we've put in an smt on this move towards the downside
[07:28] we've broken pretty pretty much every single one of them so we've had an smt hour and then we've displaced back to the upside taken some sort of internal and then we ran back to the downside to run those lows so I'm not super set on
[07:43] this smt right now obviously it's already pretty much done its job as as this kind of smt it doesn't need to necessarily spark this entire move but it does most of the time going to spark the move to internal liquidity so this
[07:56] S&T gets put in we spark the move to internal liquidity I want to see going into tomorrow if we want to work back up into this 4-Hour FV Val Gap now obviously we're already in a 4our FV Val Gap I want to see if there's a daily
[08:08] already currently rejecting right now so I'm definitely going to be continuously I do want to see if this High wants to get taken there's no bearish smt so far at these highs es and NQ has has both taken these highs pretty much um now
[08:22] this is kind of the first time we do want to see lower though um internal high was taken we've had our manipulation at these high internal High in the state on the 1 hour if we can see these last two down closed candles we've
[08:35] this 1 hour for Val Gap actually it's already opened up we have a 15-minute for Val Gap here as well this is kind of where I'd want to see spark the cell model in the overnight session now this
[08:47] because it's in the overnight session I only want to be taking trades um in the New York am session most of the time but we'll kind of see how this forms in the action looks like when we wake up tomorrow tomorrow Market doesn't open
[09:01] we can kind of have an idea of what price will will look like but we definitely have a lot of time for price to kind of see what happens in the overnight session to kind of give us a
[09:15] to to be honest I think the the best case scenario for us to have more honestly like to see this get ran through in the overnight session because overnight session that means we set up for a better bearish trade at New York
[09:30] open because if we sell off I'd like to see this honestly generate liquidity and then if we did something like this then we're like okay markets are going to open and then we're already in the daily for Val Gap sell sides or buy sides
[09:43] open we can then look for a short I think that'd be way better opportunity overnight session and then us like waking up and we're already down here if that's the case I'm probably expecting us to have lower probability price
[09:57] action lower probability setup so the best thing to do wait till Market opens tomorrow we'll kind of see what happens in the overnight session but overall been continuously bearish we'll see what happens in the overnight but that's kind
[10:10] of what I would want to see this sales model definitely could play out in the to sell off to go take these internal lows I think these are uh yeah this was here so we have a lot of rim back towards the downside um we currently are
[10:25] in a bullish 15-minute forv Gap but again if we do want to continue this buy this kind of hold and then run that 50-minute but I definitely think we'll equilibrium most likely of this range which means if we're going to go back to
[10:40] equilibrium we'll probably go take New York Am low which is right here and then we could maybe put in an smt down here and then look to see overnight session kind of move us higher so like maybe something like
[10:56] but again this is the kind of charting where it's like it doesn't be like oh this could happen and then this could happen it's like whatever's best thing for us to do is is be reactive to it so we'll see what happens
[11:10] be patient going into tomorrow we have 8:30 news so I want to see if data highs the model if that wants to be something that we can use to possibly play off of um but overall I'm excited for the week I think we look good I like how price
[11:24] has been building last week I think we there's been a lot of opportunity the last week and two weeks so um for the people that are watching on YouTube If next week I'm going to be going back to my main Live account sizing back up so
[11:37] I'm super excited to do that I'll be making some Recaps on YouTube for you guys um about those trades as well but yeah um let's jump into some questions go over the draw because one of one of
[11:50] um to give you guys a little bit of context and we'll kind of jump into this because is definitely a very very important part of my trading and should and should be as well for you so I made this tweet last night while I was um
[12:04] downtown I said the foundation of my trading is the draw liquidity let me tell you why if I don't know where the market is drawing to number one how am I manipulation how am I supposed to know what smt is valid or not how am I
[12:19] supposed to know if we are breaking structure or sweeping liquidity and how am I supposed to recognize order flow and and and most importantly let it build conviction there needs to be a foundation in your trading to build off
[12:31] foundation in your trading to build off of without it you're lost so let's take a little bit of time and talk about why the drawn liquidity is the foundation conviction with it because all of these things are so important about what I
[12:43] just talked about now trading in trading ICT Concepts algorithmic Concepts the most important thing of these Concepts is context if you were somebody that originally discovered ICT Concepts and let's say you were watching some other
[12:57] influencer or Trader and you're like oh fair value gaps and I know when I first started trading ICT I was like looking at every single fair value Gap possible taking a trade and then losing and being like oh these Concepts don't work and
[13:09] that's just not the case because context is the most important reason why these context it like it doesn't [ __ ] matter what you draw on a chart I could draw a line I could draw a fair value Gap and and and you just somehow
[13:23] magically expect the market to respect your little box no it doesn't [ __ ] work like that so the cont in which we need to understand is number one why does the market move Market moves for four reasons hunt liquidity rebalance to
[13:37] inefficiencies rebalance to equilibrium and generate liquidity four reasons why markets move I'm say that again Target liquidity haunt liquidity rebalance to inefficiencies rebalance to equilibrium generate liquidity now you could say
[13:50] actually hunting liquidity because that's internal liquidity on a lower time frame right so now that we so it's like if we were going to
[14:02] markets move well the biggest one is hunt liquidity so if I am framing a trade and I want to take a trade that means that every single trade that I take should have the foundation of one of those four things hunt liquidity
[14:17] rebound to in efficiency equilibrium or generate liquidity now I would cross off the last one because we we're not really taking a trade based off of generating based off of that that is a reason why the market will move but we're not
[14:29] really expecting the market to generate liquidity right um we're recognizing it so now that we have an understanding of like why the market moves how can we knowledge right because it's like I If you just view the market as up down up
[14:44] down up down and you're drawing lines on a chart without understanding as to why you're going to take a trade without any sort of confidence or conviction as to why the market should move and most importantly why the market should move
[14:57] when you enter because that's what trading is is if you take an entry that means that you expect the market to go somewhere fairly soon and not in the opposite direction right so for example if I was to take a short right now that
[15:12] if I was to take a short right now that means I'm expecting the market to go lower fairly soon and not go back to this high right now the context behind why this fair value Gap would work or the context behind why this is a change
[15:27] in the state there has to be context now in this specific example there's a couple things that need to be given for more context here now what would make this an A+ setup number one if it was in New York session number two this because
[15:41] the only thing that's stopping this from being a forever model is this smt if us all the confidence that we could possibly need because number one it's liquidity and rebalance inefficiencies and also rebalance back to equilibrium
[15:55] well if we mark this entire range we can say okay we're going to go back to we've had some sort of manipulation liquidity has been taken right because that means on ES this High has been taken NQ has not because then we
[16:09] wouldn't have an smt so es has taken some form of liquidity NQ is not we're there's manipulation after those things have manipulation after those things have happened then this is context this is
[16:22] contextual now right why do I expect this fa Val Gap to hold if I look at any fa rally gap on the chart you should be a able to tell me number one if it's important or not and 90% of the time it should be not important because not you
[16:35] created every single day you know how many fair value gaps that you could probably go look on the chart and and and see but guess what they don't [ __ ] matter most of the time why don't why don't they matter because
[16:47] there's no context you if you if you look at every fair value Gap and you change a change the state without context you're going to fail you're end up losing conviction and that's the most important thing is you're going to
[17:00] be looking for the wrong things fail a bunch of times and end up being like Oh strategy doesn't work no it's because you're not perceiving it the right way you're not perceiving it the right way you're not viewing it the right way so
[17:13] going back to this tweet the foundation of my trading is drawn liquidity if I to how am I supposed to know where to look for manipulation what does that look for manipulation what does that mean well if I was to have an
[17:27] is so like for example if I'm going to draw a chart here and and I was to say know it's we're generating buy side and we're you know generating sell side and we're kind of in this range right and and I'm going to look at this and I
[17:41] say number actually I'll ask you guys first do you guys think that there's a a clear drawn liquidity in this chart yes or no
[18:13] wrong let me tell you why you're wrong if you think that this is a clear drawn liquidity you're going to keep failing and you're building false conviction wh does not mean we're going to those highs
[18:25] right now there's no manipulation in this chart again what are the reasons why markets move to hunt liquidity but without manipulation why would the market go hunt liquidity the market is a
[18:37] relationship of buy side to sell side in forms of manipulation if there is not highs we're not going to go to those highs how many times have you been like oh we're so clearly going to buy side here we're so clearly going to buy side
[18:51] and then the market just does something like this and then we manipulate and then we go take those highs because if you're focused on just Oh there's highs there the Market's
[19:03] [ __ ] go there because that's not how the market Works unless there's a reason now now what would give me more context here what would give me more context intraday to make me think that we're going towards these highs let's say this
[19:19] let's say we're looking at a five minute chart so Market's about to open and let's say there's a fair value Gap here now let's say sell side has not been taken and there's also equal lows down here now what could give me possible
[19:35] conviction to say we want to go towards buy side internal manipulation because we have to generate think about it for the market to go higher we must go lower for the market to go lower we must go higher so if Market
[19:50] higher so if Market opens and we do either one of two things number one we immediately just push up and take buy side if if that's the case I'm bearish right especially if there's more context on the bigger time frame
[20:03] because you could be looking at this saying oh going back to the Tweet how am I supposed to know if we're breaking structure or sweeping liquidity how do I know on the bigger time frame if we are breaking structure to the upside or
[20:16] sweeping liquidity what is the bigger time frame context context meaning is meaning is there an imbalance to the left of us on the bigger time frame context meaning is there a bigger time frame smt what is the
[20:30] frame smt what is the context or Market opens and we do something like this we pull back we start building structure we chop a something like this internal liquidity has a form of
[20:46] manipulation and let's say we have an smt here and let's say a fair rap get ran through so now there's context there's a re reason here because our
[21:00] model has given to us this is the model this is our forever model right smt a reason for price to go higher liquidity swept fa value gets ran through change swept fa value gets ran through change in the state right so I'm not looking
[21:15] at this right cut off everything else here if I'm looking at this I don't towards highs I'm I'm not looking for us to go towards High I'm not looking for anything I'm being reactive I'm letting the market tell me what we want to do
[21:28] because looking at this chart I can I can hypothesize I can hypothesize and oh I think we're going to sell side but without this I don't really know you
[21:40] don't really know you're choosing to think that you know think that you know better besides instead of just waiting and letting it [ __ ] tell you doesn't that sound [ __ ] stupid don't you
[21:53] sound [ __ ] stupid don't you feel like a fool because you decide to think that to actually be told what the [ __ ] the Market's going to do but we feel like number one we're going to miss out on something or number two we have to prove
[22:08] that we know what we're doing and when the market is not showing us what we want to see we feel like we're losing conviction no guess what you do not need to know what the market is doing 247 you should not know what the market is doing
[22:21] 247 and if you do not know what the market is doing 247 guess what you're normal that does not mean you don't know what you're doing that means if you come into the market and you see this I can say hey I don't
[22:34] now we could but I'm not going to do want to go to b side does that make me wrong no I push my ego to the side because I'm an observer I do not inflict my opinion I
[22:48] observer I do not inflict my opinion I do not inflict my will onto the market I react to what I am being told and until this comes into play I don't give a [ __ ] if there are highs above or not there is no reason for me to take a trade because
[23:04] I am reactive to what the market is showing me so until this is given I need context so going back to this tweet again how am I supposed to know if we're like we talked about in the bigger time frame how am I supposed to know what smt
[23:19] is valid or not let's how am I supposed to know what smt is valid or not when I look at this how am I supposed to know if this smt is valid well what if this if this smt is valid well what if this was the
[23:39] to play out because we've already had manipulation of the buy side so what is this most likely possibly do here well if you look at it this is probably the state and the market could do something like this this smt works but it only
[23:53] does this to sweep liquidity break structure and then go take sell side and structure and then go take sell side and then possibly do something like
[24:11] guessing we're going to go to buy side I I can't be reactive to it I'm inflicting my opinion on it without being reactive to what the market is showing
[24:24] me so the reason why this tweet is so important is because for me to build anything here for me to build anything of this there needs to be a drawn of this there needs to be a drawn liquidity now this trade is a lot more
[24:37] clear if this is the case right a lot more clear this is a confident because there's more reason for the market to go to that high right for the market to go to that high right way more reason a lot more confidence
[24:52] because sell Sid's taken we've had displacement of The Upside on a bigger time frame we've had a change in the state and now there's internal state and now there's internal manipulation in a model in favor of the
[25:05] manipulation in a model in favor of the draw but if the model is not in favor of the draw then I'm most likely going to be in draw then I'm most likely going to be in a lower probability
[25:24] don't have an idea of what the draw on liquidity is what what do I do Justin do I do guess do guess what you do nothing you do nothing until
[25:40] you do know what the draw liquidity is Justin you you expect me to just sit there and do nothing but but I have to press a button I have to take a trade I brother you're going to you're going to [ __ ] blow up that you're going to
[25:55] blow up that if you can't [ __ ] sit still and be told and wait and and sit on your [ __ ] hands like a good like a good boy and be told what to do you're going to [ __ ] lose I'm
[26:13] the hot stove maybe 50 [ __ ] times for you to get the to tell you how it [ __ ] is because I wish somebody did for me I wish somebody
[26:26] wish somebody did for me I wish somebody talked to me like this when I had this problem I'm putting it right in front of your [ __ ] face there's no way that be like ah Justin's wrong here no because guess what I've lived it I've
[26:40] lived all the problems you guys have I've done it I've been past it I've see you guys make the same mistake over and over and over and over and over again because I had to do that let me do
[26:54] it for you let me make those mistakes for you so you don't have to listen to for you so you don't have to listen to Uncle Jay let me give you some knowledge and stop [ __ ] trying to stop trying to think that you're big big
[27:06] hot shot and be an observer and let the market tell you what to do and be submissive and say oh Market shows me nothing doesn't mean that I don't know what I'm doing it means that I am not going to do anything right
[27:24] guys and I had the I had this problem too so don't think that you're alone too so don't think that you're alone so many new Traders think that if they look at the market and they don't know what the market wants to do that they
[27:36] think that they don't know what they're doing they they think that they don't don't know what their strategy is they're lost they lose conviction and it's literally all that is is your brain and the enemy Playing Tricks on you to
[27:51] make you think that you're unknowledgeable that's like me sitting unknowledgeable that's like me sitting at a [ __ ] desk at jear waiting for a question to show up for me to answer and there's no question and because there's
[28:05] no question for me to answer I I'm I'm not knowledgeable I'm not knowledgeable answer oh my God and guess what when there is a question for me to answer and [ __ ] answer it doesn't that sound [ __ ]
[28:20] stupid but until you perceive these things like this and like somebody's able to show it to you in real reality you realize how [ __ ] blind you are in possible you're able to realize like oh [ __ ] how did I how did I not think of
[28:36] that how did I not realize that but that's how you need to think that but that's how you need to think that's how you need to perceive these
[28:49] Trader is about not thinking you're a good Trader because when you think that you control the market when you think that you're in control that you I'm the best [ __ ] traiter there I can [ __ ] do
[29:04] this [ __ ] no you [ __ ] can't you are being told what to do and it's just like and and the biggest thing and and and it's so funny
[29:16] because at church today like the this sermon had it's it's such a relationship to this it it's it's it's exactly like your relationship with your relationship with God when we think that we're in control
[29:29] control the outcome ego gets in the way and we aren't submissive to what's being told to us we fail God says okay okay buddy I'm going to let you make the decision on your own
[29:44] and then you get [ __ ] knocked down just for God to come be like all right you want to listen to me now let me pick you back up you want you want you want to listen to me now and you're like yeah I do but then you do it again and you do
[29:57] it again and you do again but he'll pick you back up still until you're able to my own I'm just going to let the market tell me what to do and I'm going to let God be my guidance and put my ego to the side and
[30:11] guidance and put my ego to the side and say what's best for me is being under to do and be okay with not being
[30:25] told if you sit in front of the market and the market does not tell you what to and the market does not tell you what to do that's fine that's fine you sit there and you do nothing and you get satisfaction from not doing something on
[30:42] your own because as soon as you try to force something and be like o i I think there's something here though I'm you know it's not clear it's not my model it's not screaming at me to take but I'm going to take it anyway Number One
[30:55] You're Building false conviction because not only are you hurting your Edge in bad setups and then when you lose then you have a mental spiral being like Oh sparking you know that continuation until you end up building more and more
[31:11] bad habits and then end up losing more and more and more but it it it just and more and more but it it it just causes
[31:23] you will take and I and I say this all all the time to you guys my students trading when you feel like you were doing the least amount of work because it truly does feel like you are sitting there not worrying not
[31:39] caring to take a trade not thinking about making money until you look at the market and you see oh there's an smt oh there's the draw that's clear oh there's my trade this is it right here it's in
[31:52] you let me let me let me sell or let me buy and and it ends up working out and you're like oh my gosh wait I I literally didn't even try to to do that literally didn't even try to to do that and I did it and it works perfectly and
[32:06] feels effortless but the times in which you lose guess what it doesn't feel effortless isn't that funny shouldn't losing feel effortless not winning shouldn't winning be
[32:20] hard it's the complete opposite it's the complete opposite you have to be under submission it's the idea of striving versus arriving if you
[32:34] are striving for Success you will hit a brick wall brick wall brick wall because you are forcing your will onto the market not being reactive to it you are trying to see things that are not there if you exchange that with arriving
[32:48] and you sit there and wait to arrive at your destination what is the destination your model and you don't do anything until you arrive at that destination that is how you become
[33:00] successful you stop caring to post [ __ ] your little wins on social media to take a trade today because I'm I'm $50 away from passing my fund account I the [ __ ] are you doing what the [ __ ] are you doing
[33:38] foundation we have to understand where the Market's drawing to because then we have to understand what the context is right if there's an smt gets put in we opposite direction for the market to move higher we must move lower for the
[33:51] market to move lower we must move higher and until we get that and until we have an idea of where the market is drawing towards we don't we don't really know unless more context is given wait for the context to be given and then use
[34:06] our Concepts to build off of then look for smts then look for the change in the for smts then look for the change in the state then look for invers Value
[34:24] gaps what other questions you guys got for me
[34:44] time frame New York Am low already swept is the issue stop that break even looks is the issue stop that break even looks like a
[35:13] I I remember this too yo this was TGF fine I really don't even think this is bad I mean you moved your stop back to bad I mean you moved your stop back to break even again I I could say sight to
[35:28] take off partials that consequent encroachment of the wick um and it's for me to do that well the recent low already got taken there was a bullish encouragement you could take partials there um but honestly I think this is a
[35:41] fine trade I think the entry is great um I think the management is great you back up to get sto at break even I think this is a totally fine trade bro I think this is a totally fine trade bro I think it's totally
[35:58] use standard deviation for profit targets yes but I don't let it really affect standard deviation is like an add-on it's a conviction it doesn't it doesn't change my bias right it's it's all it
[36:11] does is give me a projection and add conviction so like for example it's like look at this manipulation it's like oh I want to see standard deviation line up it's right there I want to see a continuation towards it right doesn't
[36:23] really do much for me what it does is it gives me like a lot of times for me at the biggest thing I want to use standard deviation for and that the more that time goes on the more that I understand it is is is when to expect a pullback
[36:35] pullback because like we talk about what happens when standard deviation is respected pull back to equilibrium of the range so if we were to do something like this we hold standard deviation what can I possibly expect going back to
[36:49] equilibrium of that previous price L right so a lot of the times when I'm right so a lot of the times when I'm looking for a move depending on what the model is If We Hold That level I kind of I would expect to go back to equilibrium
[37:01] so it's it's not only a price target for possible runners or possible entries in general but more so a way for me to be like just responsive to say okay I could possibly expect the market now am I taking a trade here no am I like looking
[37:16] for shorts in standard deviation not unless there's an existing model just not mean I'm taking a short now what's a possibility for me to take a short well there's an actual [ __ ] model I can take a trade
[37:31] right if there's something like this then then sure I can take it I can this then then sure I can take it I can take a
[37:51] short now what would I be targeting first year internal liquidity
[38:20] inverse R Gap or break up structure entry or retracement to a f Val Gap entry or retracement to a f Val Gap after displacement to enter give you a broad answer to say context what I'm going to say is is it depends
[38:34] on a a couple things for me the more that time goes on I want to be taking my entries off the initial break because if I'm taking my entries off the initial break and if I'm taking an entry based off my model that means I should be so
[38:48] precise where I expect the market to go there now like when I enter I I don't want a lot of draw down I don't want any draw down to be honest if if I'm a good the market is showing me the way that the forever model is set up is that you
[39:02] should not endure a lot of draw down it should be exactly what you should that we should go to the draw right an S&T has been in place showed manipulation we had internal manipulation a Chang in the state a feral got ran through many times
[39:15] we will not pull back why why does the market need to everything has has done what it's needed to do to the upside if we're looking at this we're looking at this chart and let's say
[39:39] here I do not need to wait for this to enter what can I do to
[39:51] below a clo a candle where do I put my stop at whatever the recent high is because many times we'll do this and then we'll rebalance so there's two trades here and I want you to pay
[40:06] you'll recognize in the charts when you're trading there's two trades here there's the initial break and normally on the initial break we won't pull back what will we do we'll go hunt internal liquidity this is where I
[40:21] partial then we'll pull back to equilibrium after internal liquidity is and we'll have another internal model to then continue lower so there's two entries here because there's two models there's an
[40:37] internal Market maker sell model that happens on this move here towards model sell model and this is the bigger time frame so it's fractal this is the sell model but also this is a sell
[40:53] model so there's two entries now I recommend the more that time goes on I'm I'm I want to be taking my trades on the initial
[41:05] Value Gap and have a change in the state I'm entering short
[41:30] you look at both price is fractal manipulation will happen on every single manipulation will happen on every single time
[41:45] on the 5sec but it looked great nonetheless had a lot of Confluence do you think this was valid on the 5sec too while or two wild
[41:59] internal model so again different the same thing that we just looked at right internal manipulation changing the state you waited for the pullback what's the you're taking it on this this is a a model in itself can I put this in
[42:21] actually let me do this screenshot and then I'll do this this screenshot and then I'll do this let me make it so you guys can see this
[42:41] through is the cell model because what's happening here you're pulling back into a bigger time if think think about it this way if I was to show you this right here just this chart right forget about everything else forget about everything
[42:56] here and you're able to be oh there's a fair value to the left oh there's a lot of generated liquidity here and I want to say this isn't a 5sec this is to say this isn't a 5sec this is actually a 5 minute and guess what I
[43:10] could totally do that guess what because you have no [ __ ] clue what time frame it is unless you are looking at what trading view is showing you on the top what does that mean price is fractal what is fractal mean if I was to draw a
[43:22] square and then I say hey this square is actually made up of four other squares and in that square it's actually made of four other squares and that square is actually made does any one of these squares differ from the other one no
[43:35] they're all [ __ ] squares a model inside of a model inside of a model is still a model doesn't matter what time frame it's on it will fractal so if I was to show you this chart right here and say hey this is a 5
[43:50] minute it would still be the exact same model rejecting a bigger time from from this internal High inverse for Value Gap changing the state you short because there's external liquidity resting below it's a great trade doesn't
[44:04] you taking trades on such low time frames why are you taking trades on a 15sec because they don't understand price is fractal if you can align the bigger time frame confluences and align the bigger
[44:21] time frame bias it's actually a better trade it's a better trade for me to take take a trade on a lower second chart by aligning that the 5 minute is also the 1 minute or the 30 second then it is for me to just take a trade like this on
[44:36] a 30 minute or a 15 minute or a 5 minute because I'm aligning the biases and guess what if one time frame tells me something and then I zoom in and the exact same bias is shown on a lower time frame that's more conviction that's more
[44:49] exact same thing and what happens if it's telling me the exact same thing if and the 15 minute is tell telling me you want a short that means guess what I'm expecting it soon cuz that's how price moves how can I expect the market to go
[45:04] now because that's what we care about right when we're trading we don't care if the Market's going to the drawn liquidity in 15 minutes or 30 minutes or an hour or 4 hours we don't benefit from that when we enter and we're trading
[45:17] intraday that means that we expect the market to go to RTP fairly soon correct correct so if I expect the market to go there fairly soon and I overlap a
[45:29] 15minute bearish bias with a one minute bearish bias and a 5minute bearish bias that means guess what we're going to sell real [ __ ] soon because aligned every single thing just shown the exact same thing zoomed in zoomed in
[45:42] a square inside of a square all telling me the exact same thing but you wait for the square to be a square and then you wait for this for this Square to be a square and that's your entry if that makes sense
[45:57] it works in your brain it works in your brain like it does in brain like it does in mine wait for a square once that square mine wait for a square once that square has a
[46:11] to move exactly when you expect it to that's how you time the market if you want to know how I time the market this is it right here
[46:45] equal lows with a big daily and balances draw I need a little bit more context for this need a little bit more context for this
[46:59] we shorting here I see there's an imbalance here but what's below us why to see what's to the left of us entry model looks fine though but I still I still need to see more for me to like give you full clarity on if it's good or
[47:22] whatever reason change if they understood that most retail currently use absolutely not cuz we make up [ __ ] less than 1% of the volume Trad at intraday why the [ __ ] would they change
[47:41] top business owner that like that's like me being apple and making an iPhone and then a little kid comes up with his little cardboard [ __ ] cutout of his a competitor does that mean Apple's going to change their product cuz a
[47:56] [ __ ] 5-year-old just came up with a cardboard iPhone no it it it impacts them it it doesn't impact them at all we we are so small in minescu compared to the rest of institutional order flow that is traded with in the market
[48:09] that is traded with in the market doesn't matter
[48:57] flow to complement your trading Style with using ICT why why why would I oh more shiny things to add oh no I don't [ __ ]
[49:22] care the problem with you guys is you you the problem with you guys is this you'll have a little bit of success and then let's say one week you don't have success and then somebody comes to you and says have you tried using auction
[49:35] Market Theory have you tried using quarterly Theory have you tried using an art as sign an EMA crossover and you say no I haven't tried that and because you're like oh my God wait maybe I'm missing
[49:47] something and then you reset the [ __ ] cycle and then you go back to [ __ ] square one again you want to know why you [ __ ] suck and you won't and you're not seeing success is because as soon as you plant
[50:01] the seed as soon as you take your seed and you plant it in a pot and you keep watering it as soon as it starts to grow you [ __ ] rip it out and put it in a you [ __ ] rip it out and put it in a new pot
[50:44] YouTube is Rage baiting no not at all I I I am just so passionate it it I I I wouldn't speak like this I wouldn't I I am the only reason I would ever show this or act like this in energy I don't
[50:59] do this in other parts of my life you you will never hear me talk this outside of this environment you will never hear me speak like this
[51:11] outside of this environment you want to know why because guess what I [ __ ] care I actually care if I didn't care I'd be like oh guys liquidity man you you guys got to
[51:27] start using liquidity you guys got to start using liquidity no I [ __ ] care straight up with you because guess what I actually know what the [ __ ] I'm doing Justin actually knows what he's talking about all praise to the Lord thank you
[51:42] Lord for giving me the opportunity to share with you guys this information my own but I'm in a position to help you and give you this knowledge because I actually care
[52:05] all praise is to the Lord I have not done this by myself
[52:41] wants to collab with you they're a successful Trader who trades similar would you do a collab guys collabs don't do anything for me if I if I like you as an individual and like I I want to talk with you and and
[52:56] but it's like that doesn't do anything for me as a Trader right now like I I talking to other Traders doesn't make me a better Trader I'd love to talk with you about life I'd love to talk with you about you know other things I'd love to
[53:12] and you know push each other but like me let's go [ __ ] do something no it's like a waste of time at least where I'm at in my current at least for me for for many of you I I
[53:27] say the complete opposite I say for you it is absolutely important to be around when you first start trading because when I was first started yes that would have benefited me absolutely but where I am right now no
[54:13] since you're since you're a very religious Christian but I've seen um what your perspective is on the month of Ramadan I can't really give a good
[54:25] enough perspective because I don't know enough to really say something and it's like I'm my ass and be like oh listen to me cuz I have a following I don't [ __ ] I don't
[54:39] know I really don't know anything about Ramadan I I don't know so I really I Ramadan I I don't know so I really I really can't say but I do know one thing I do know that Jesus is King
[54:58] you and I do know that Jesus loves every single person in this call and I do know single person in this call and I do know that Jesus wants to draw near to you
[56:13] now strict strictly Futures to be honest I I just never have found there doesn't need to be another shiny object for me to be like oh because NQ is not something else that's like that's like me [ __ ] being like Oh my girlfriend's
[56:28] not here I'm going to go find another woman like doesn't that sound [ __ ]
[56:47] everybody like trade Forex if you love Forex go for it that's just my perspective on like for me it doesn't do any good for me it's and I can't wait for opportunity so I'm going to go look somewhere else for
[57:03] going to go look somewhere else for it and all that does is inflict bad
[57:15] daily um wait where did this go how do you put God into your day-to-day life trading how do you fight your ego and pride as a Trader you you submit and you're humble and you say I I did not do this every success that I have in my
[57:30] life is because God has paved the way and has done so many things behind the scenes that I can't comprehend for me to be able to achieve the success that I have and as soon as you try to take credit for it and as soon as you try to
[57:46] what our seminar was today in our church was was on pride and how dangerous pride is and the most dangerous thing about pride is isn't being prideful it's losing your relationship
[57:59] with God it's becoming distant from God and and and and when you're close to God and then you become distant to God it's the worst it's it's absolute hell it's absolute hell and if you want to experience true
[58:15] hell and if you want to experience true true peace true happiness you humble true peace true happiness you humble yourself I am only here to be a servant I am not better than anyone one of you I don't know more than any one of you I'm
[58:29] don't know more than any one of you I'm not above any one of you I am of service not above any one of you I am of service to the people in my life and I feel the most grateful happy clear minded and success
[58:44] comes my way because God says there's there's a so somebody please give me it exactly what it is but there's a piece of what it is but there's a piece of scripture that says put yourself last
[58:57] and you will end up getting everything else I don't remember exactly what it is but it has something to do with you put yourself last and you will end up first be of service to other
[59:12] people there's no there's no difference and no value doesn't matter how much money I have doesn't matter what car I drive doesn't matter how much of a following I have we are equals we're all children of God and I love you just like
[59:26] children of God and I love you just like I love any other neighbor
[59:59] passed multiple accounts but always somehow fail them what are some tips well you got to understand like you got to ask yourself what is the reason you failed them there's a couple there could be many different things I can't give
[1:00:11] many other people will give you a cookie cutter answer bro be disciplined bro bro be disciplined no like I I I want to give you the best answer I possibly can but I need to know what what you do what you did what what is your specific
[1:00:27] struggle is it you immediately come into a funded and you over leverage your size too big and you take three three losses and it's blown or you're taking too many trades you're not stepping away when you need to like what is that problem so my
[1:00:42] need to like what is that problem so my biggest advice to you is if you keep blowing up your funded account if you keep blowing it up that thing over and over again and you haven't learned your lesson and and
[1:00:54] there's a reason why you are still being taught that lesson is because guess what you haven't learned it you haven't learned what that lesson it you haven't learned what that lesson is and so until you be honest with
[1:01:09] yourself and understand what that problem is and how to fix it you're going to continue to make the same mistake over and over
[1:02:07] this is mainly for the YouTube chat because my students aren't [ __ ] stupid not saying all of you are but for the people who live life as a game don't take anything seriously maybe you're getting
[1:02:21] high all day maybe you're laughing because you just like posting dumb [ __ ] in the chat trying to rage bait I'm not saying this because I'm upset some of you will
[1:02:35] realize that while you're while you're watching somebody on YouTube and some person behind the screen right now talk to you heart to heart give you
[1:02:55] up being making the money that maybe you want to make and you don't take it as an opportunity to learn not saying just me opportunity to learn not saying just me but I'm saying anyone in
[1:03:36] oh you guys wonder why I don't go live on YouTube man
[1:03:50] more one more question then we'll Hop Off
[1:04:09] to add 247 trading in a little over a year honestly I'm I don't really think it's going to do anything good for the market to be honest because in my opinion if we add 247 trading hours that means that there's just going to be less
[1:04:23] volatility in certain sessions like like there there's no longer going to be sessions so if New York open there is no open so there's no influx of orders coming into the market that gives us that level of volatility so until it
[1:04:36] actually happens and we're able to see what the reaction is from that change I about it until it's in front of our face but I'm really not sure until until but I'm really not sure until until until it's there
[1:05:17] guys let's go ahead and end off in prayer and then we'll uh we'll end the prayer and then we'll uh we'll end the session
[1:05:31] that I'm able to come on and be a steward to you God and and share everybody in this call to have an amazing week Lord I pray that you continue to touch their hearts I pray that you give discipline and patience to
[1:05:43] trading Lord I pray that you bring to light the things that people are failing to see in their lives God and their trading I pray that you give them learning lessons that they're able to take with gracious and know that the
[1:05:57] reason and that they're able to perceive it that way Lord I pray that you person in this call Lord I pray that they have a blessed week and I pray this they have a blessed week and I pray this in Christ's name
[1:06:15] guys enjoy your night for the people on YouTube this was of the mentorship if you want to be a part of our group and get away from this this YouTube chat and be around actual mature
