ICT Joined Live, So I Challenged Him

Foreign. How are you doing? We are live in this channel for the very first time looking at financial markets and using our Deep charts platform to see and implement live everything you've learned up until now on this YouTube channel. Give me a check in the chat if everything is completely fine. I'm going to open a new chart and we're going to start very soon with this New York session. We're going to connect to our data feed so we have real time data and we can start commenting the auction altogether. Can you hear me? Everything is all right on the chat. So if you don't know the strategy that we are going to implement, it's because you're a dumb, uneducated, financially literate fuck that did not see the previous videos that we talked about. So you are not allowed to ask stupid questions in these live sessions. So you have to have seen all the courses here on the channel. There's a five hour course that you need to have watched and, and there's a probably the best trading strategy type of video that you also need to have watched because that's are the strategies. These are the strategies that we're going to be using today and throughout all of these live sessions. So okay, I see some signs of activity in the chat, so that's good. I have a kind of a short bias for today, but it could be completely wrong. So let's, let's, let's start from the beginning. How do I identify a bias? Well, first of all, I don't identify a bias. First I open my charts and I put here my one minute template. So I click on templates, full version Andrea Cimi es one minute. That's the first one. The second one is I go to new price chart, open the ES and I put it also here and here I keep the five minute chart and I have them slightly differently because I need to see different things from different charts. I'm also going to take away the CVD because I'm not a huge fan, to be honest. I mean I'm not 100% using it as of lately. We're already going short a little bit. But let's see, it's very early on to the session. I typically wait for the first 15 minutes to see where price is eventually going to go. But we have a gap to get filled, don't we? Yeah, so this is probably one of the first setups. We have a gap here with the previous session close and that's where we're probably heading now. This could have been a five minute opening range. Breakout strategy. So we count the first five minutes or we just take the, the high and the low, the first five minute candle. This is already a very short term trade idea that could be, you know, somewhere around here where we have to take though the very, the very gap of the last session. Let's see how big is this gap Also I'm gonna explain it now, but first I wanted to just be clear about what the trade was. Let's see. Okay. The close of the last session was actually here. Okay. So we have a little bit of a gap to kind of go through. So the thing here, the idea here with any gap strategy is we want to basically maybe place our stop loss slightly above. We're okay to take the stop loss with the gap fill strategy. What you want to do is consider the statistical edge of the gap fill. And we have two tests, we have two trades we can try. The first is the five minute opening range breakout. So you basically take the first five minute candle up, down and wherever there's a breakout you basically place yourself on an imbalance which I didn't even track if it was present, but probably it was, judging by the volume of this candle. Yeah, kind of. So the entry level here should have been this. But there's not a lot of volume on this breakout. And there's. Well, there is a big trade though. So this is actually a confirmed trade. I'm going to walk through it now. But the whole idea is a short term, a very short term and short lived trade to basically try and fill this gap. And why do we do this? Why do we plan to have this? Because this happens around 70. Actually this is already a stop loss by the way. And this happens around 66% of the time. So we have a statistical edge that wherever we close the last session, we're talking about New York session. Right? So cash session and wherever we open the new one, we have a 66% chance of this happening. To the downside, if we're talking about a gap up or if it's a gap down. So for example, we closed our session here. So this was the last candle of the previous cash session and we basically have the open here. There's 70% chance that this gap will get filled. Okay. So it's a decent, it's a decent thing. It's not a 100% win rate type of setup. As you have seen the last. If you test this in the last, let's say 10 session, they were all take profits. So it's a very good setup that I like to Trade here and there. And there's two ways to trade it. The first one is the five minute opening range. And the other one is the 15 minute opening range, which is the other strategy that we're going to implement in these live sessions. So what we do is we take the first either 5 minute or 15 minute candle. With these type of setups, I like also to use the five minute, which is slightly more aggressive. You basically draw the high and low. And wherever there is a close in the 5 minute, we want a 1 minute close. If we're on the 50 minute, we want the 5 minute close. With the 5 minute, we want a big bubble on that candle and a strong close below with the 1 minute, we want at least a cluster of 2 to 3 imbalances in the candle that breaks out. So we want order flow to be on our side. Right? And that is the trade idea. So these are the two main models that we trade during the New York opens. And then there's all the PBD setups that we will get into right now. But already, for the science, this was a trade worth trying. And whenever I'm opening a trade, I'm always asking myself the following question, am I happy to take this Stop loss? You're going to hear me saying this every single live session that we're going to do here live on YouTube, am I happy to take a stop loss is my conscience, okay? Am I following a statistically validated plan and am I truly on the side of smart money? That's it. And as you can clearly see, they hunt for my demo Stop loss. Right? So ICT was right the entire time. How could I not believe that? Because all of you guys watched this live stream. Open this trade and place your stop loss here. So they clearly hunted our Stop loss. Look at this. 13 stop losses, huh? Right? Isn't it right? Isn't it right, people? But anyway, as we know, this doesn't happen all the time. This is again, 70%, 7 times out of 10, likely to happen. But we're in a very bullish environment, right? We've just been pumping all these last session, so we're completely against the trend. So I'm honestly, I could expect this stop loss to be taken. Do I take the trade anyways? Yes. Because I'm not paid to have an opinion and to have a bias. I'm paid to execute a strategy, okay? And to execute a statistically valid edge. Now this was the first idea and another cool that you can do with a cool thing you can do with deep charts by the way is you can. Oops, you can basically draw the tools from another chart which is something very cool that I like to do. So I can draw my areas and my lines on the five minute chart and basically have them here on this side. So I can use them also as ideas for the one minute. Now this was the opening idea. The next idea is we're gonna take a look at the five minute chart and we're five minute chart and we're going to go to use. As you can see, this template is basically built with a composite volume profile which is the volume profile of the entire chart that you see on screen. Then you have cash session profiles. So this is the cash session, right? The regular trading hour which has just started, also commonly known as the New York session. And we have a division between the New York session. Oops. The New York session volume profile is one profile. The next one is London session plus Asian session. I normally do not use this very much as most of the money as you can see is traded during the New York sessions. Right. Because this is the S&P 500. So what I use for volume analysis is mostly the profiles of the previous cash session. And what I can already see here is that this value area high and this value area low are the areas where most of the money was traded during the last session. And this is the P, if you guys remember the video, this is the P of the last session started here and consolidated here. So this is now the current valuation of the market. This is where market agreed during the last session what was the best price. And I can already see that the first thing they tried to do inside of this session was they tested the point of control. But what they did is they basically broke in inside of this area of value after having opened outside. And that's a very bearish move to begin with. Of course. This is the opening, you know, this is the. Opening auction. It's what we call the opening auction. So some of these are market on open orders and in the first few minutes, you know, there's much more volatility. So that's why the 5 minute opening range breakout is not really my bread and butter. I prefer much better the 15. And if we have a breakout below here, this is still a potentially valid trade. Why? Because if the first thing they do is drop back inside, it means we're not ready to auction higher yet. And we're still wanting to auction in a place where there's more liquidity. Where in the previous cash session, 70% of trades happen here. So this is still potentially a valid area to trade both from sellers and from buyers. Right. And smart money, you know, they work on both sides of the auction typically. So what happens now is also very interesting because we can see that we try to auction inside here, but nothing really happened. Right? This is what we call the failed auction. And we can even see it better from here. Right? So we tried to re auction in a previous area of balance, but what happened over here is, yes, there was a strong breakout, but look at the volume. Look at what the data is telling you. This is volume, right? These numbers over here that you should be able to see. Maybe there's my ugly face in the middle. So I'm gonna put it over here just for a sec, and I'm gonna maybe put these numbers a little bit bigger so you guys can see it. So I'm gonna go in order flow values or deep stats, and I'm gonna simply go on plot settings and increase the font to 19, not 19,000. Yeah, now you can see the numbers way better. We're about to, by the way, go for the 15 minute opening range breakout, which is the second idea. I'll be right back on this topic. When we close the candle above the opening range breakout with a big trade, with a big candle with increasing volume. That's our long idea. And ideally. Let me rebuild the chart real quick. This is a very great candle. Buyers are clearly dominating the auction as we speak. And this can be potentially an idea. Five thousand. Wow. This is, this is a beautiful auction. Look at the numbers over here. Right? So in these type of cases, I will buy from the imbalance. So this could already have been a trade idea. And what I like to do in these situations is place myself with a market order when the candle closes and then maybe putting another order here, another order here, just, just like you see Fabio doing and mediate the position to the downside. And what I typically do is place the stop loss below the point of control. I've posted this, by the way, on YouTube in my last post. You can clearly see it. And ideally, if this is my current volume profile, I'd like to have my stop loss below the point of control. Okay, so still potentially valid trade. And these are still valid levels for the entry. Okay, we want to use a imbalance clause. So we want to see where there's a lot of these green numbers. That's what we call an imbalance cluster. And we have a double imbalance cluster over here, which is where we got tested. And for the target in these type of Trades, there's many ideas we can evaluate, but ideally the end of a range is a good idea. So if this is the range, right, if this is our current value area, our target can be up here. Yeah. If you want to stay chill, we can have a 1 to 1.5 to 1.2 risk to reward. That's completely fine. And this is another trade idea. Okay. And we don't want to fall in love with trades. We don't want to, you know, when we take a stop loss, we just move to the next trades. We're not going to stay there and cry about it. We're not going to stay there and oh, we took a stop loss. Like we're traders, we make hundreds if not thousands of trades for a living. We're not going to get worried about a stop loss. Right, Guys, I heard everything you see in the footprint is older than 12 hours. What the are you talking about? These are traits that just happened. And I didn't have time to explain you because we just jumped right into the, into the action and into the auction. But, But yeah. Now this is our first live session, so you guys need to familiarize with some of the strategies first. But if you go on posts on my YouTube posts, you will see that this is the strategy that I have shared with you. Right. You can see it right here. Stop loss below the point of control. 5 minute breakout on the 15 minute range with a big trade inside. Okay. Which is exactly what happened here. So again, let's delete some stuff. Let's just get rid of this. If we want the first 15 minute opening range, we're going to count the first three minute candle. This is the first candle, right? This one and this one, then this one. Okay. The high and the low are our opening range. And whenever there's a close of a candle above with a big trade, it can be either buy or sell with a big trade on top. The first execution is at the close of the candle and then the second one as we go down on the test. This is the first mechanical way. Right. And this on the final target is already a 1 to 2, 1 to 3 risk to reward ratio. Okay. Just as the opening trade. And then we have the second option where we time the entry slightly better with order flow. We use the footprint chart. We look at where's the imbalance clusters, where we see at least two or three imbalances altogether, which is the colored numbers. And you can place a tighter stop loss with that. That way you can aim for already a 1 to 2, 1 to 3, risk to reward ratio with a very high win rate. Now we just went above here and whenever we go above highs, you're gonna see some drift. What we call the ftu. You, if you guys are familiar with the FITU pattern and to go there. We also already had another imbalanced cluster over here. This is a beautiful imbalance cluster, which is this one over here. When we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 imbalances altogether, this is a very strong initiative from buyers. And right after that, do you see what happens here? You see sellers at this level were aggressive here, but there was a big passive buyer absorbing all of that pressure. You can see it clearly here. It happened also here. So buyers are in control on this candle. Even though the delta is kind of flat because it has 5% delta, it's not a huge delta. But this is also the problem with delta, right? Delta shows you just the net aggression. These are sellers, are they aggressive? Yes. So they take down our Delta, but it still shows buyers dominance because they got absorbed. Right? So I don't just use Delta as blindly as a lot of people uses it. I want to see inside of each footprint what happened and how was that delta built? Okay, where did I did our long position go? It was here. Again, this is just demonstration for today as it is the first live session. So the first trade idea was this one based on the model that I've explained. It's already a target. The second option is when we test this. The test was not really here. So to be fully honest, this was probably not a trade like we would have get filled with the mechanical entry model, with the order flow timing model. It was probably very hard to get filled over here. Very hard to get filled over here. Now. So let me, let me summarize this for you guys because I know I'm putting a lot of meat on the grill, as we say in Italy. So what we're going to do today here is we're going to get the first model is 5 minute opening range only if there's a gap to get filled. This is model one. Model two, we have the 15 minute opening range breakout. Sorry, I called it the initial balance order flow breakout, the EBOB ibob. Let's start. Let's start. You know, let's learn from the best ones, right? Let's learn from the best ones and start coming up with some new names, right? Let's create our own little order flow cult. Let's come with our own IFVG Bob, blah blah blah, right? So. 50 minute opening range breakout Sorry. Initial balance, order flow, breakout sounds fancier. Right. So we want a strong candle closing above the opening range or below with the big bubble in the middle. Right. Not with the bubble on the top because that means absorption. We want the bubble to be in the middle of the candle. That's it. Very easy, very simple. I want you guys to get started with some very mechanical shit that has order flow implemented inside so that we can put it on steroids. Right. And the third one is the PBD models. So we're going to take a look at these type of models. So this is the break in model, the breakout model. These are the main things that we're going to do. These are trend following. And then we have two models which are the P reversal models. This is the first model. So we short the double breakouts to the beginning of the impulse just like Patrick Neal does the other option. And this is, you know, a reversal type of setup. The other reversal setup is the failed auction to the upside where we short this idea very short term, very reversal. I typically prefer trend following. I'm a trend follower, not a huge reversal type of guy. But these are the models and the reason why we use these models. Look how many sellers here. Let's see what's happening. Let's, let's, let's look at order flow and see what these big sellers are trying to do. But it seems to me like, look at, I'm so glad we're live because we can finally prove this to the world. Look at this and show this to me with candlesticks. In the same area where we have the cluster of imbalance that I told you before, where buyer were in control not only on the aggressive side of the auction where they accepted paying higher and higher prices, but also, as I told you, they were exactly there to absorb all of this pressure. Look at what happens now. Look at all of this effort from sellers, from big, big, big sellers trying to sell over here. What happened to these guys? Were they stop loss hunted or were they absorbed? Right where the buyers are dominating. They got completely and utterly absorbed. So this is the level of buyer's dominance. Look at how many contracts. Look at the numbers. 6,000 contracts. Look at the previous candle. We got 2,000, 3,000, 1,000, 6,300 contracts absorbed on the same exact level. This is why professionals use order flow because it gives us a wider range of information to take our decision based to base our decision on. And the same thing happened. Let me check, where was it? Oh yeah, I was talking about it. You know Right before we, we started. Look at this. We know this is a level that we're waiting to break out, right? Perfect. How does the breakout happen? Which would probably, if I were watching it more closely, would have led me to not even consider open this trade. But look at this. 3.5, 4.2. 2.7. 3.7. Sorry, 3 and 3.7. Is this candle having a huge volume during the breakout? Not so much. How about the candle that reverses, does that have a huge volume spike? 5.7. Well, yeah. So who's in control? The algorithm? No aggressive buyers. Now, if that level we saw gets break in, that's when I know someone is winning the battle. Right. So what I want to see here if for example, I want to have an early exit, is who's gonna win this battle? Because there's a clear battle going on and buyers are completely obliterating sellers. So if there is a strong close below here with a lot of imbalances and a lot of initiative and a lot of volume, that's when I know price will be likely starting to drop. But as long as this little guy, and by little guy, I mean thousands of contracts of smart money joining the party, as long as this area here holds, I'm chill, I do not care. I very likely to see price maybe reaching the other side of our range. Sorry, which we don't even have here. Yeah, the 7 10s, let's say 7 10s to see also about the targets. What I really like to do is I like to use my deep dom. About the details of my indicators. You can see them on the templates. Like you can use the templates yourself and. You can see it by yourself and you know it. If you're in the deep trust, communicate, see, see, look at what happens now. Now after this happened, I want to see continuation from sellers if they reject. This is not a good idea for me. I want to see an increase in volume. I want to see a lot of clusters of imbalances. And as this has broken. I know, look at this. Oh, now we're talking. Now we're talking about volume. Perfect. Now I know sellers are in control because they broke the last level where buyers were clearly in control. 6000 contracts. Now sellers are talking. Is this something, by the way? I didn't even check if there's any news going on, but this is the FOMC week so we ought to be careful. I typically do not trade a lot during these weeks because markets are kind of choppy. I would probably be out at break even at this point. On the first trade or I would have taken probably early profits already here. When I reach the 1 to 2, 1 to 3, I'm out of this. Like no need to force it out. Now let's see what's the next candle gonna do? This is a very important candle. This is a very important candle. This will decide if buyers are going to take over or not. And want to see also all of these big trades that we saw happen in real time not 12 hours ago where someone's commenting. We want to see if the candle on the 5 minute closes below or above. Above close means absorption. Below close means acceptance. Now what I like to do is I like to have my deep DOM over here and I typically use this to check liquidity areas, targets and blah blah, blah, blah, blah. We have 4,000 contracts buyers absorbed over here. A lot of contracts actually also on this candle. So in this situation there's two types of things that can happen. With order flow. You either have a continuation breakout or you have a strong low. So when buyers take control of the auction right after it in a few candles, they reabsorb the entire movement. You see the five minute candle closing with rejection and they do it with high volume. If they do it with high volume, Then we're likely, it's likely that these sellers have failed. Yeah, this is the first live session we're gonna, we're hosting. Welcome to everyone. Is everything clear? Until now, guys? By the way, Buys are taking control of the auction again. I have a lot of imbalance. If they close a very strong candle above this one, sellers are probably. This was just a big book sweep. And look at where. No, I'm going to take this here. Look at where they reject. Do they reject in a random area or do they reject where previous buyers took control? Which is exactly the imbalanced cluster we've just literally just talked about. They don't move the auction at random points. And you know, this is also the idea because the whole thing behind fair value to me makes some sense, right? Fair value gaps, blah blah, blah. But while a fair value gap trader would have to take it from this candle to this candle and say, yeah, this is a fair value gap, alright. Yeah, but where exactly? Well, with order flow you have the answer. These are the big trades. This is the real gap in fair value 2,000 contracts. Yeah, They didn't take our break even for like one tick. So we got lucky this time. But look at this, bro, look at this. Oh my God. 4,000 contracts, 20% Delta full of imbalances. Let's go. Our bias was correct. I put a fib on that. That's funny. That's really funny. Now, talking about PBS and D's and auction market theory, because it's okay, we can have mechanical models. They can stop working tomorrow. We know how that works now. Everyone's going to use them and they're going to stop working. So how do we really read the auction in a way that makes us truly understand what's going on? What are my main principles for these live sessions that I will use? Well, as I said, first of all, the PBD's, but in order to see properly the PBD's, I want to go into the chart settings, Right? What's the depth of market going? We have Pietro Valastro here in the live chat. Guys, please give a five in the chat for Pietro Valastro. I'm gonna show you who this guy is. Okay? See if I can find it. Oh, they did. They update the. They update the website of the. The World cup training championship. Finally, let me say, finally, Recent events. There you go. So we have in the chat, guys, my little bro, Pietro Valastro, who is an order flow trader. He's using order flow, he's using deep charts. He's one of our most. One of the guys we're proud of. Also, Gianluca is from our team, but Pietro specifically is using order flow. Congrats on Pietro for also joining the Robbins cup and achieving an amazing performance. Still don't see. Where's Michael Huddleston? I still don't see it. Anyways, we got Patrick again here, still winning. Look at this, bro. Amazing stuff. So big up for Pietro. Grande. So let's look at our. Oof. We got the grill over here. Yeah. 70 10, which is exactly the area I was telling you about for the target ideas. 7 10. And go to. If you're Spanish, go take a look at Pietro's channel because he's gonna bring a lot of value. So go and check it and check his channel out. So back to our chart. How do I build a bias with this type of market framework? So the first thing I want to do is go to the price settings and increase the days to load. It's gonna take some time because there's a lot of data. Consider, guys, these are not retail charts. These are professional trading charts that have a very, very deep layer and granular level of data. So whenever I add 90 days of charts, these are gigabytes, okay? These are gigabytes of data that my charting platform has to load. And our charting platform is one of the fastest at this. So I have to first download the data. That typically takes some time depending on your connection, but also it needs to load it and plot it on the chart. So it's going to take some time. So yeah, how we use this is we typically use these levels as targets. So yeah, let's take a look. Yeah, we got it loaded now it's going to maybe lag a little bit because my computer is a big old boy and there's nothing new really. There's nothing new really here. Not a lot of new information. But we see that we're still on the upper end. Like we are buying all time highs and we are buying the end of an area of value which is typically where sellers get into the party. Right. This is where sellers likes to auction and sell aggressively. Billions of dollars. It's told to us by data and it's told to us by statistics. Right. Because this is anomalies, we're in the realm of statistically speaking, in the last few months we're talking about anomalies. So this is not a great place to buy yet in general, right. So on the long term we know that these levels could not get hit. So when we buy, and I did it also yesterday because we bought the opening range Breakout and we were closed at break even yesterday as well. In these type of environments I tend to like break evens more. Because yesterday we did the exact same thing. Guys, look at this. This was the initial balance. The first 15 minute range was here, right? 1, 2, 3. A candle closed above with big trades test and we reached our target. But then it went all the way to break even. It was a break even session for the day. But you'll see some drifts and these drifts won't hold so much when we are approaching these type of areas. So I'm not surprised that we see these huge sell orders, huge market sell orders. And I need to be attentive at these areas. I need to be attentive to what's happening. So let's get back to our footprint chart and see what's happening in real time. Okay. Not much, not much auction going on now. But ideally what I like to do is for the PBD and for how I frame the market, first I start with long term volume profile. Ltvp. Start learning these words, guys. So long term volume profile, I use the composite and I look at where is the current distribution and if we are in a big distribution where you know, we see price going up, price going down, price going up, price going down, price going up, price going down. Which is what has been happening on the stock market for the last few months. I know we are in a D type of distribution as you said. We have P, we have B and we have D. This is a D type of distribution. So in the D type of distributions where price is going up and down and up and down, it's creating this value area. What I do is I take the value of a high area, the value area, low area, and these are my favorite areas to look for sells and to look for buys. Right. Especially if this happens, a failed auction. And I want a failed auction typically to happen with a lot of volume on the way down, then decreasing, decreasing, decreasing volume and then increasing volume on the way up. Okay? So for example, if on the weekly time frame I see this and then I see this in the next session and I see a 15 minute opening range breakout, what do you think I will do when the break is above here with a big bubble? I'm going to put my stop loss here and let it run to the other side. If I am taking the same setup over here, will I behave differently or not? I will clearly behave differently. Is this a live session or live trading? We're trying to do both. For today's just the first live session to introduce yourself to the models and the strategy. So I can see that in the next few live sessions you're going to be more aware of what is happening in front of the screens. Because I want everyone to be on the same page first. So that's what I will do. If I have on a P setup. So if I see that we are in this type of environment where we have bullish and we've just consolidated above here, this is the setup I prefer. Okay? Now when I look at the auction instead, when I look at footprints and I look at the 5 minute chart, for example, what I like to look at is was there a big trade? Okay, was there a big trade? If yes, where who got absorbed, who's in control, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. This is how I use the 5 minute chart on the 1 minute instead I look at imbalances, I look at single candle volume and I look at delta. Now what I can see is that this big order here was a failed auction. This was probably some profit taking from a huge guy. But then again, buyers took control of the auction and they consider these prices to be cheap enough to keep buying at higher and higher and higher and higher prices. So as of now, I can already see My P shape forming out. And I can see there, there's this. This is the main value area as we speak. If I want it, I can also just draw it like this. Yep, delete my beautiful P. And at this point if we break above here, that's another idea for a setup to move on to 7010 which is the target we've placed here. And I will use this exactly as I use the same thing on a weekly profile. Like the logic is exactly the same, it's fractal. So what I see here is this is the main fair valuation as of now. Buyers and seller are agreeing that this is a fair price to trade aggressively and passively at. We tried to auction below, we failed. So we know that this is the fair value right now. So my ideas are either to sell from these sides and just ping pong my way out or when this happens I can trade on the test and trade to the other side. These are very short term scalp ideas. Or I wait for a strong breakout and go for the continuation play. We are about to approach this area here which is where buyers are dominating. Let's see what will happen. This is the value area low. And you see how after an aggressive auction this is the first level that they stop at. By the way, guys, no, we will not have the live session every day. This is going to be once in a week, okay? And I am using for all the ones who are asking, I'm using Deep Charts and. Just so you know and you don't miss out again like most of you did, we have a 30% discount running as we speak and there is a competition where if you have the platform, you have a data feed, you can join the trading competition and you can win our merch, you can win a lot of cool stuff. We don't have any monetary prices now because we don't have the license to do it yet. We are working on having it in the future. But yeah, you might want to take advantage of that. And this is the platform I'm using here. You cannot find this stuff on Trading View as someone asked. And. If you guys are from the Deep Charts community or platform, is there anyone first who joined the Boot camp and is here, Anyone from the Deep Charts chat on the Jeep on the Deep Charts platform and has watched the boot camp, has watched the live sessions. Can you put a 5 in the chat if you're part of this group? No, I'm not using rhythmic as we speak. We I am using DX feed but you can use rhythmic, you can use dx feed. You can use cqg. When Deep Dom is ready to use, we have to fix a couple of things and then we're good to go. Okay. We have a lot of people from our community. Awesome. So if you were there, can you give us a quick feedback on how it was to the public? How was the boot camp, how many trades did we take, how many of them were profits, and how much did you understood about the auction with me and Fabio? I want you guys to give some feedback to the public so they can know if the product is good or bad. See, this is why I call these the money indicators. And now look at this. There was a buyer that tried to absorb these sellers and failed. This candle is very important for me. If they fail again, then I could try to go for the long play. Because yes, as I told you and as exactly happened, the first time they're gonna start buying is back here. Right? As the first time they're gonna start selling is back here. But do I sell from there? Do I buy from there? Meh. I will buy and I will be much more confident buying if we create an anomaly first. Okay, I want to see a failed auction setup. I don't trade the P buying here and selling here. I do. I wait for this. So I'm waiting specifically for this. A strong volume breakout that breaks back inside. So this would be a long setup, A long setup to this side. If this candle closes inside of this range. Right? This is the idea behind the p. The problem with these ones is you have to be very selective, otherwise you're gonna find a lot of these ideas. But this is happening where. Where exactly is this happening? Where was the previous cluster of aggression? Here. We get all of these big green numbers. Look at this. Look at the precision of order flow. The real one. This is a very tight setup, but it could be right. So these are the. These are these type of setups. Very aggressive scalps. I do not trade these guys. Okay? I'm not. I'm not very comfortable with super fast scalping like Fabio does. But these are these ideas, right? Like very tight stop losses, very short, short lived trade. But this, these are some things we can start testing out live. I don't want you to open these trades, by the way. Guys, I don't want you guys to open these trades. I don't want you guys to copy what we're doing here. This is purely for educational purposes, for. For demonstrational purposes. And that's it. Okay? That's all we're doing. This is purely to show you case studies of order flow, We got buyers absorbed above here. That's not a good sign. Also ideally we would have liked to see in these type of setup, you need to be careful about how you look at volume. Right? So for example, if this is. If this is a stop loss, why would it be happening? Because if we didn't take a look at it properly. But we had 3,000 contracts here and only 2,000 contracts here. We want to see volume dropping in the way in. As I told you before, we did not check this. This was our mistake. But we want to see this candle closing very strong with a lot of imbalances and blah, blah, blah. Financially funk checking in. Welcome back. Is there a report strategy for the backtest? What do you mean? I'm going to look at some questions now. If you have some questions now, please let me know. And let me. Let me go like this for now so we can have some Q and A face to face. Okay, Let me see the chat. So. When Mac version released later this year. Monthly plan. It's not in the. It's not in the. It's. We're not planning to have it anytime soon. Where can I find the info on Deep charts on our website. Where do you live? It's not your fucking business. How big are your delta bubbles? What do you mean by the way? It's. Everything is on the template inside of Deep Charts. Another stop? Yeah, yeah. Today we're just, you know, we're getting acquainted with the main ideas. We're not. And I have to explain you the strategy as we're seeing it. So we're seeing many more trades and case studies from the next few sessions. We're going to be much more selective. Again, this is very demonstrational for today. Okay? I need you guys to get acquainted with everything. Currently I'm an ICT trader. I'm profitable, honestly. However, I would like to learn order flow 2. How can I start? This is a good question. I mean, as I said and as I will keep saying also in the next few videos, it's not that like concepts are not profitable by themselves. Order flow is not profitable by itself. Concepts are ways to analyze and rationalize the markets. Right. Auction market theory is a way to rationalize and analyze the market. Concepts and strategies are not the same thing. So concepts will not make you profitable. Strategies will. Okay, so if you want to integrate order flow to your ICT concept, or as you were saying, and it would be more correct saying your ICT strategy, if you have one, I would say go for it. I would say it can give you a boost if you already have an edge with your strategy, with your checklist. Okay? So 100% go for it. Can pbds make me profitable? No, it's not a strategy. Will not make you profitable. What will make you profitable also together with a clear system, okay. Is respecting the risk management, taking smart trades, looking for your edge, looking into the needy, greedy of each day, the data and act based on that. And constantly improve the way you analyze and read the markets. Right? That's. That's what's going to take you to profitability. Not a concept, not a strategy. Okay? It's the work that you have to put in every single day to look at these charts. Why we promote order flow and auction market theory is it's because the most. It's the most realistic version of market analysis. It's the most real and direct access to what the market is doing now, to who's buying now, to who is selling now, to who's dominating the auction as we speak. That's where order flow helps as a tool, not as a strategy. Order flow is not a strategy. Okay? A strategy is what I've explained in the three models that we saw. We have a gap model, we have a opening range model, and we have a PBD model which is more discretionary. And we will see through time how to actually implement it in the correct way. Do you have a microphone? Yes, I have a microphone. I'm speaking through a microphone as we speak. Yeah. Now let's get back to our charts for a second and comment what's going on? Where is. There we go. Yeah. These guys are still dominating. And this is another idea for a auction. For a failed auction, Right? Failed auction below here. Now, we didn't see it, but this is exactly the same idea, right? We want to see high volume on the way in. And this time we had it unlike here. Right? So look at the contracts. Always, always look at the contracts. We had 3,000 on the way out. Then volume starts dropping, and then on the way in, we increase the volume again. And that's the setup. This one was a target, for example. Right. But as I told you, these are very aggressive scalp trades. I'm not used to trade like this. I prefer to be intraday. We're going to do it for the sake of it here in the live sessions. But that's not my trading style. That's more. That's more Fabio's thing. Fabio is a very fast scalper. I don't like to get stressed too much about managing my trades. Are using gamma van and charm to trade. Yeah. So again this was, this was another. Like this is the same principle, right? The same principle we've opened before but now we had the confirmation of high volume on the way up. And this would have been the other trade idea. Right. Again, now we're just seeing the ideas. We're not commenting on the execution style, on where to place the stop losses. We're just getting acquainted with the PBD's models. Okay. Does it work in GC? I'm not a GC trader but order flow is present on GC. Yes. And a lot of volume on the way up. Also here do nq. I'm not an NQ trader. I'm gonna stick with es. Guys, these live sessions are for. Yes, We have a strong breakout. Let's see the big trades. And let's see if they're going to get absorbed or they're going to close with a. With a strong close above. And this trade idea is basically gone to the target already. And we're about to fill these 430 contracts at 7010 which is exactly where our profit target would be. And this is also a high volume note. If you can see it here, we got a seller getting absorbed as we speak. That's good. Yeah. I will be live every third, every Tuesday. Today's the introductory session. In the next few live sessions we'll start getting going even harder. We're more than a thousand people by the way. That's awesome. More sellers absorbed here. Do you see this guys? And you will see these type of things also in the depth of market map as a series of very cadenced orders. And you can see it also from here. Like buyers are just clearly in control of the current auction. Let me see some questions from the chat. I've just got myself Deep charts for a year. Any tips for beginning to this? Oh yeah, totally. Well, first of all, welcome to Deep Charts. You're officially not a financially littered fuck anymore. You're on the way to financial independency. No, but on a serious note, if you simply go. One sec. If you simply go on mydeepcharts.com now that you've purchased it, right. You go on subscription. You download your data feeds and everything. You're gonna find the tutorials over here. All the first, first use Quick Guide. This is the first video you want to want to see. Then you're gonna learn into the learning area where you have all the free course included with the platform, which is absolutely phenomenal stuff. And. And then you can join the live sessions. As you can see, we have one live sessions with Fabio. One is with me, and one is with the deepcharts team. And the next one is exactly tomorrow with me. And we have a contest going on, right? So these are the rules. And you can win a lot of cool stuff, and you can participate from wherever you want, and it's gonna be absolutely phenomenal. And then join our Discord server. And that's pretty much it. Okay? And we hit the target. For the mechanical model. The target was already reached. And we've filled the big trade that we were talking about since it was there, basically. So final target reached and absolutely phenomenal stuff. Already on the first session, we got a very great example of order flow in action. And as you can see, this buyer, this guy, whoever he is, they were not able to close even one candle below him. Not one candle. Oh, we got Michael. I cannot believe this. Hi, Michael. How are you doing? So are we doing this Robin's cup thing? Are we doing it? Come on, Michael. I'm a huge fan. I have. I have. I have a challenge for you, Michael. We need to. We need to. We need to do this this year. We need to entertain. We need to keep entertaining the trading community because this industry is boring. You're the master at this. And I'm here to learn, okay? I'm here to learn from your experience in the trading space. So let's do this thing. Let's take an account, okay? Let's put $100,000 into this account. Let's do it with a real account, okay? We can do the Robin Scop if you want, but you know, an actual account with a regulated broker, we stamp an audit on it. We put 100k. We see who has the best expectancy after one year of trading. And let's do something like the winner, or let's say the loser has to donate 100k to charity. To a charity of the winners choice. How about that? Come on, let's do it, Michael. Let's fucking do it. Let's fucking go. Yes. Robbins, you say? Hmm, I don't know, man. You've tried a bunch of time. I've also tried it. You know, it's whatever. Let's be real, man. And trade in a real account with a regulated broker. Come on. But yes, Robbins is okay for me too. I mean, the people will say what they'll say. This is funny. Any other question, guys? 500 likes. And I think you cannot hide from the challenge. I mean, he came here and accepted it already, so we have to do it. We're gonna have to do it. But we're gonna have to share the live account every single month. Okay. Like we're gonna have to actually show it month by month. We have to trade at least three times. Like we need to set up some rules. So please, Michael, reach out to me on, on Twitter or whatever. Okay. And let's get this going. Let's go. Awesome. Yeah. We've just done it. We've just done it. We're going to do it every single week. We're going to be live here to showcase these concepts, to showcase how we use big trades, how we use order flow. So it's going to be fun. And we're already running to the final ideas. Right. So where most of the volume of this distribution stopped and with these long term volume distribution guys, what we want to take a look at is the ledges. So I'm going to give you a little tip on how to identify the best areas for either finding trades or either placing your targets. Ideas. So you want to take a look at in the total volume distribution. But I'm going to do it like this because I think it's way better. We've just opened the trade. Michael, by the way, I think you came, you came a little bit delay, rewatched the live session. Strongly advice. We just took a couple of trades. So the thing here is you want to take from the highest volume node to the lowest. And that basically tells you where the least volume was traded. And where the least volume was traded is exactly the areas where a lot of speed was. Because when you're gonna start noticing after a while where there's a lot of volume is because there was a lot of action, because price spent a lot of time there. There was a lot of auctioning going on there from both sides of the auction, from the aggressive buyers, aggressive sellers, passive buyers and passive sellers. And the areas where the lowest volume is traded, to quote our dear friend in the chat here, what he calls a fair value gap, which is a gap in fair value, which is, as I said before, one of the few things. Oh, right, I'm not sharing the chart, sorry. So when you take a look at volume profile distributions, you're going to start noticing that where most of volume is traded is where most price action happened, is where most of the auction happened. So whenever you see volume dropping at a certain point, it means that price did not spend a lot of time there. So likely what happened these type of situations is something like this happened. And these were areas at which sellers were willing to keep paying worse and worse prices. What we call the spread. They were willing to pay a spread to push the auction lower with the pressure. And this was not a hunt for stop losses. This was not a hunt for liquidity. This was not, you know, a conspiracy theory, as you guys know. But it's simply an area where price did not spend a lot of time. So there was not enough volume to show up in the volume profile, like a high volume note. Okay. And so what happens in these areas, why these areas are so important is because that's when aggressive sellers are going to push the auction back in a situation where of fair value of imbalance inside the standard deviation of the volume of the previous X amount of time, session and or months of trading. Okay? So we take these areas by plotting the latest high volume node and the closest low volume node and that's what we call a ledge. Okay? And these are the areas where we look for trades. And this is where, for example, on this type of trade I would take my final target. We've already taken a 2.45. This could be a, the final target, a 1 to 3.4. So I'm expecting that we're gonna break out. I'm expecting we're gonna break out also after the last few news from the White House and from Trump, they want to devaluate the shit out of this dollar. So a lot of what you have seen in the, in the stock market and this huge performance that the stock market has had in the previous months basically happened also because they're trying to devalue the dollar. Okay. Like deliberately, admittedly, they're trying to devalue the dollar as a strategy for the U.S. economy. And this is gonna be inevitably pushing stock prices up. Okay? And so with a very simple opening range breakout, when we see there's a big trade joining the party, when we see smart money is joining the party, that's where we join as well. And that's where we're going to take trades for the next year. Also in the same Robin's cup where Mr. Michael is going to join us as well. Okay, Let's go with some questions. Is that included on deep charts? What do you mean? Yeah, what you see here is on deep charts. Everything you see on deep charts is on deep charts. But another cool thing that we have on deep charts, if you do not even want to draw the, the opening range breakout is we have like a semi automated model. It's called the ivb. You're going to add it and this is basically going to plot the opening range as you set it. And it's also going to base you. It's going to draw some statistics out from the last X amount of sessions to tell you if it makes sense at all to buy or sell. And let's delete some of the stuff so I can show you properly. Let's remove the drawings. There you go. It showcases the initial volume balance. Okay. And it's showing this plus this. Wherever you see a breakout above, you don't even have. You don't even have to draw it yourself. Even though it's like pretty fucking simple, you guys. That's your trigger. And that was our trigger for today. Every time I'm not showing the screen, I need a guy to help me, help me out with this because I'm so bad at handling this stream thing. Or maybe it's just because there's Michael, I got too excited. So it's called IVB model and bias is up. Single breakout happens 46% of sessions. And whenever it happens we have the excursion ideas where we have our software automatically doing a statistical analysis on where it's the most smart place to either put your trader break even or exit. This is an average exit. This is the standard deviation of the exit. This is the initial, the initial balance. You can set it up however you wish. Candles closing above with big trades inside. That's your trigger. And I strongly Advise,/Invite ICT traders and SMC traders to try and couple these. Okay? Couple these concepts together. Let's see if this can help you. I'm genuinely interested to let me know if in the way you read the market, having a big trade on your fair value gap, having your big trades on the breakout you wait for, especially in the lower time frame, especially in those one minute time frames. Let me know if that helps. Are you going to open the time on ivb? That's the idea, yes. I'm talking to the team to make this happen. Like, I don't see. I don't see Michael's messages anymore. That's a pity. Anyway, it was a very fun first live session. I mean it can only get better than this. I didn't even switch on anything. Oh, there you go. Okay, guys, so these are how our live sessions are gonna go down. It's gonna be one, one hour and a half. We're gonna check the open together trade the open together. I cannot trade this live with a live account in front of your eyes. As you guys know, it would be technically illegal. Okay? Unless there's a very strong delay. So we might introduce a delay in the platform, so in the streaming platform. So. So you don't get the trades and you don't open these trades because I. Again, this is for demonstrational and educational purposes only. I'm not here. This is not a signal room. This is not a copy trading type of scheme. I just want to showcase the power of order flow analysis to you guys every single week. You don't need to open these trades. I'm not aware of any financial situations you guys might have. I don't even know if trading is for you guys. So we're just going to see the setup develop in real time. That is the plan and we're going to comment it with order flow, you know. Now we've already seen a very successful example of the setup live and we're gonna keep doing it once a week in this channel. Probably once a week on deepchart's channel as well. Once a week on World Class Edge for Hostess, World Class Edge. And once a week again inside of our deepcharts community together with Fabi as well. So if you didn't join our community yet, consider it because we have a 30% discount offer as we speak. And. And you might want to take advantage of that. So that's all for today, folks. Leave a 5 in the chat if you want these live sessions to continue and I will see you next Tuesday. Peace out and have a great trading week. Ciao, guys.
