Market Overview & Strategy Adjustment - Order block

all right I just activated the recording as well let me get this all set up I think that pull one uh okay uh yeah can you guys see my screen and can you guys hear me properly display capture all right everything should be set yeah Tony got the new uh could abuse that all righty uh let's see how many people uh what time is it all right I'll wait one more minute and and then I'll get started here all right all right so this is going to be the weekly recap uh for this week right it's on April 6th the recap for April 1st to the fifth right start of quarter two can't hear you bro this is so bro the screen does that can you guys hear me now bro it does that every time I don't know when I start the stage it doesn't let me speak so weird all right okay now now now I was so confused I was like why is no one typing all right okay so this is going to be the weekly recap for uh the the week of April 1st to the 5th right today's April 6 uh what am I going to be going over on the week actually before we do that um for the people that don't know or haven't watched module one I'll just quickly briefly go over this but my name's Jack uh also you guys know me as JB trades right I've been full-time trading for about two years two and a half three years now right I've made over six figures in the market I started late 2019 and been day trading full-time since the beginning of 2021 so I started back in around the just before the co area hit right I was basically a beginner right in uh University uh I really got into penny stocks right that's where I got my start as you know back then in the markets right the markets were basically just a lot of penny stocks right A lot of people love trading penny stocks that's where I started um being in Canada right I didn't have the PDT rule so it helped that a little bit right I was just swing trading right made a lot of money uh basically fing alerts right and then lost a lot of money right refin my system right took me a while took me like a one year plus and then once I really started finding consistency is when I switched over to options so I switch Swit over to options didn't have to deal with all all the BS that came with the penny stocks right the pump and dumps all that but switch over to options uh basically late 2021 have been basically full-time trading options I dabble into Futures here and there but been basically full-time trading ever since and that also leads me into the next point was how I met Tony uh so I met Tony on Twitter as you guys know right when he only had a few hundred followers um at this time I was using the same strategy as he was right not too many people are trading the break and retest but I realized he had the same strategy as me uh so I hit him up on Twitter and we started chatting it up and now yeah basically realized he was trading the same strategy I was right realized he was making insane killing especially back in uh 2021 when the markets were hot this guy was making a killing off the break and retest so I hit him up right and his psychology right that's what Tony's good at right the psychology aspect of men cuz he's been through everything all the experiences that uh most of you guys have have been through right the struggles and how to get to where he is now right it takes a lot of psychology and uh the mental fortitude right because trading as you guys know right once you master the technicals right it's really 80% psychology and uh 20% technicals and that's so true especially the longer you get into trading and once you refine your system right you have that break and retest strategy down right you refine the system and then you realize it's all psychology right all about sizing right how to improve and how to actually grow grow as a Trader and that's how and that's what Tony's really good at right about the psychology and that's how he helped me improve my psychology and I really thank him for that to this day it's actually cooking in here let me turn on the heat sorry let me just turn down the heat in this but yeah that brings us to where we are right now no bro it's glazing Tony uh yeah so the community right you got are in the right place right right this is a great Community to be in right we have a live trading we have Tony right that's the main thing about uh the community especially when you're in a Discord right in your live Community Right Live trading is very important right when I started uh when I started trading and I used to join these live rooms no one would really be sharing their screen or they wouldn't really uh tell you your strategy right that was kind of like gatekeep right they wouldn't be sharing the screen they wouldn't be really sharing it would just be kind of alerts right it would be uh no screen sharing um yeah gatekeeping strategies right it was very hard to learn especially in a community where people really didn't focus on education as much it was mainly kind of alerts so that's what this community is good for right because we share the screen right we have we mainly focus on education we explain everything that we're looking for and it's recorded as well so you guys can always go back and see what we're thinking in the pre-market right our thesis coming into the day what we're really looking at and in real time because you guys can hear us talking you guys can see our screen screens and then we'll be posting our education right you guys can see exactly what we're looking at especially when you're trying to learn right it might be a little bit distracting to uh some traders that already have their system down you don't really look at the screen but especially when you're a beginner when you uh when you're starting out right you want to see what someone else is looking at especially if you're trying to learn right to see how the candles develop to see how right charts move and to see where you're looking at in real time so that's why I share my screen is because right when I first started I would have really liked to see someone scre I never had that opportunity so just know you guys are in the right place right right obviously the market last week right it's been kind of slow right I've been trading pretty poorly the past week but you'll see once the market starts heating out we focus on those a plus setups you guys will see it in real time and when you see the recording as well it's so it's so much clear right especially when you hit those when you hit those A+ set of Trades and you can see the trade play out exactly right to your thesis that's when things will start clicking right it just takes time all right let's see no bro Tony L JK love Tony I love the screen sharing in real time it is a game changer yeah for real everyone that always says back to this key but no one ever shows you how to do it Tony was the first guy to ever show me it and really changed my game yeah especially because people can always look back on charts right it's very easy to go back on a chart and just uh have like uh yeah just go back on the chart and say whatever they looked at right it's very easy to do in hindsight but in real time it's it's something completely different and I think that's what we're really good at but yeah this brings me to the weekly Recaps right what do they consist of so uh for the weekly Recaps right I was originally just going to make it so I was uh the weekly outlooks and I just go over the trades I took but I decided I might as well just throw in like one mini lesson each week so this week I'll be talking about the order blocks and then I'll be going over to the week uh the recap of the weekly Outlook so the PDF that I I do every single Sunday right the ones that I have a video with uh I post those every single Sunday for you guys for an outlook for the next week right but I'll be recapping what I saw last week and then comparing the thesis uh of how it played out this week and then I'll be going over all the uh any of the trades I took that I feel like is very important to learn over and then also I'll be going over some charts and then I'll end it off with some questions you guys have any questions about that okay sorry man my mouth's already so dry talking for like five minutes excited to learn about order blocks I don't know much about them all right yeah I see a couple people typing here where's the jug of water yeah I have a small one right now just the hydro I have like a couple Hydro FL like I don't I'm not like a Yeti person or like you know I used to get the hydro FL before they're popping so know I stick with the hydro flas but yeah okay let's get into order blocks all right so what is an order block so an order block is an area where large Mar Market participants have play significant buy ORD so when we're talking about large Market participants we're talking about like we're talking about hedge fun or like institution or market makers right order blocks you'll see right especially when we're talking about the indices right price is a lot more algorithmic right when you're trading Futures you're trading Forex you're trading these uh these type of markets that have billions and trillions of inflow every single day you'll see that a lot of the times that the markets are a lot a lot more algorithmic because they're usually run by algorithms right so you'll see that order blocks are very key areas in the chart order blocks as well right when you're training uh tech stocks right how I trade order blocks is a little bit different than how I trade order blocks on Futures but I'll dive that I'll dive into that a little bit more in a second but right order blocks as I mentioned are key levels on the chart and understanding the difference between order blocks and what makes it a high probability versus low probability is very important right because essentially an order block is every single time we're in a downtrend right up close candles can be used as a potential order block for continuations lower right if you think about this for example right with without having a right without having a chart context where just thinking about it as in uh right if we're in a downtrend right every single time there's an up Clos candle right essentially kind of means there's buyer stepping in right so every single time we get below that level right we have a close below that up closed candle it it'll be a lot easier once I exp show it in the chart but once we get below that level right technically right those buyers in the market those uh up Clos candles in the downtrend right should now be used as a potential resistance so that's that's where the breaking retest comes in that's where you have the that's where the order blocks in a downtrend right the up close candles in a downtrend should be used as resistance towards the downside and it's the opposite as well right when you're in an uptrend right if you have any down close candles that technically means sellers step in but once we get above that level right that means the sellers are kind of out of the market and you we should be using that U Down close candle for moves towards the upside right it'll explain a lot more once I have the charts but that's just uh something to keep in mind uh right in institutional Traders and market makers will place their orders in these areas which will have significant impact on price and liquidity so being able to identify these key levels is very important for our entries right as you'll see a lot of the times the key order blocks happen around key liquidity levels right when there's uh previous day high like the all-time highs levels right these pre-market highs pre-market lows right whenever the the significant order blocks happen right A lot of the times these order blocks will happen around those key levels right and right here I have the different types of order block entries right so I have the reversals right this is very good if you're trading Futures like Forks like all the ones that have a lot of indices because you'll see price tends to come back into key areas right so you'll see that the charts especially when we're trading indices and uh let's say you're trading indices like the NASDAQ the es right price is very efficient especially when we're in a Range as we have been in the past month or so right price has been in a Range you'll see that price is very efficient and it'll always come back to key levels to essentially retest right this is the reversal order block is very key on the higher time frames and if you're trading the indices right but the main way I like to trade order blocks is these continuations right you'll see that right here you can see that price came all the way back down but once price gets back over right price gets back over this was original resistance level but now this level should act as support right and the support level is back where this order block is right so you see essentially what's happening here right is that sellers stepped into the marketplace right here right so if we can get above that level right we should mean that we should come back and retest this level because the sellers are stepping in so it's a very key level so that's where the resistance comes in and once we break above that level we should come back down for a retest and the retest also coincides with the fair value gap which also coincides with this key retest and this order block as well so that's why this is the n q chart for anyone in and that's why we're very bullish uh all the way up for the past however long right we are bullish towards the upside and then this in this case right there was probably like a sweep of liquidity PD Ray on this side and then price break structure towards the downside and it comes back up to retest this up Clos candle on this order block I'll explain this more right once we dive into the charts as well but if you guys have any questions let's see is an order block um is an order block is order block that sum as SVG um um sorry if you could reword that I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that green is blue and black candles are righted yeah sorry I I should make it just black and uh green but yeah in this case the the the Blue candles are green and then the black candles are red what is the psychology of this how does an impulse move towards the downside turn impulse move towards the downside turn into the move upside yeah this there's not that much context here but I'll show you guys in a second but yeah this yeah there's not that much context you have to see the higher time frame I just kind of crop this out but right whenever you have uh let's say a key resistance level right is it's all based off of the higher time frames and context so in this case right this was an intermediate term high right but in a longer term uptrend and then once we got Above This level we would like to see a retest uh for continuation towards upside um is an order block the same as a fair value oh okay that's what you meant yeah the order block is uh completely different than a fair value a fair value Gap is an imbalance right an order block can be used as an imbalance as well but a fair value Gap in this case is like the wick of the first candle and then and for a bullish fair value Gap it's the wick of the first candle and then the bottom of the wick of the third candle that's what's called your fair value Gap that's where an imbalance in price is right it's not a visible gap on the chart right there's not a clear like Gap where is let's say a daily gap or let's say a New York session Gap right the ones that you always see from 4:30 uh sorry at 4:00 at Market Clos and 9:30 at Market open that's a visible Gap when you see a gap in the market that's a visible Gap in the market right you can see that very clearly but in the fair value gaps case right it's not visible right you can't see the actual Gap in between the candles right it's you it's based off of the wicks in the reversal chart the top candle is an order Block it's the so the whole thing right so it's the up candle that sweeps the clear I'll talk about more of this in the actual chart explation it'll make a lot more sense but yeah so when we're determining order blocks right what we want to be always doing is determining what a high probability order block and what a low probability order block is right and the more confluences I always mention the more Confluence is the better right so when we're talking about order blocks wise right all the time whenever you guys trade break and retest right A lot of the times it will uh sometimes coincide the best you'll see that the best or uh breaking retest uh trade trades always coincide with uh order blocks right they'll have multiple uh confluences like key levels right inefficiencies usually Left Behind they'll have fair value gaps as well right if you have three uh three confluences so you have the key levels you have an order Block Level you also have an inefficiency and a retest rate a lot of the times those ones will be your high probability order blocks right when you're trading the breaking retest and all you have is just the breaking retest you just have one key level and you maybe have maybe a little bit like the key levels right if you have the key levels and in combination with like let's say relative strength and relative weakness right that can make it high probability as well but you'll see a lot of times when you have let's say three confluences right the order blocks um I'll mention it in a second I I always say this I'll show examples but yeah if you have the order blocks in combination with the key levels uh retest and fair value gaps and untap liquidity as well right all those things play into account of a high probability order block right as you can see in this example right price came down swept liquidity right we broke structure back towards the upside uh I remember this day there was like a double top so that was a clear drawn liquidity so if you're bullish you can see that there's a fair value Gap left behind right you have this down close candle which was your order Block Level and then we tap back into it I forget what day this was but somewhere in February we had the inverse fair value Gap towards the upside I remember this trade but then um yeah and then you want to look for yeah breaks of structure as well on the lower time frames and then you want to look for the yeah breaks of structure change of characters like sweeps of liquidity right always around key levels as I mentioned and in this case um I don't know I can't remember where this example was from but there's no displacement right we didn't have any displacement towards the downside no uh changes of characters and Market structure shift so that's why when price came back up into this order block right it ended up moving higher because there wasn't any there wasn't any displacement and there wasn't high probability there's no key levels as well okay examples of order blocks all right before I go into the A+ examples right um I want to make sure everyone knows what an order block is right let's make it very clear so this is an example from Thursday right so we'll start off on this day okay you guys can see my screen all right right so every single time so Pretend We're just in a down right without having any higher time frame contacts here right we're just strictly just going to be marking an order block so everyone understands what it is right so every single time there's a where we're in a downtrend right all these up closed candles should act as now resistance towards the downside right so as you can see in this example right so price comes down let's say I draw it out here right so this is your candle right so this is your down Clos candle right Pretend This is a down closed candle so for this is a down Clos candle right here the best order blocks happen from the wick the bottom of the wick to the body right this is your best down closed candle you'll see that often times when price comes back into the wick and body right if it holds the the bottom of the body right A lot of times this will be the best momentum towards the downside right but price can also come back into right from the wick all the way back up to the top of the body right this is not I wouldn't consider this a lower prob order block but price can always come back to the top of the body right so price can come back all the way to the top of the body and go down towards the downside right it can even come all the way to the top of the wick and come down but the highest probability order blocks you'll see is when price comes back to the bottom of the body and they'll continue towards the downside right so you can see in this case price right this is an up close candle so when price close below it right this can be used as a potential retest towards the upside obviously there's no displacement there's no nothing here so right we're just strictly looking at the one minute chart so price gets below it right so you can use this as an up close candle so you can mark this out right so we'll mark this out from the body to the wick and we'll draw it over you can see price comes back in here and then heads towards the downside right now once price closes below it you can Mark out the bottom right the bottom of the body to the wick right you can Mark out this level as you can see price tried closing above it right almost did right you can see the Wicks right here right right Wix are here but the bodies stay right here right here right so the bodies on this candle at 937 and 938 right they closed beneath this uh one minute uh bearish order block right you see right here you can even draw the order block up to here if you'd like right because as I mentioned the strongest the highest probability order blocks will happen from the wick to the body but you can also draw it from the wick to the top of the body right and you can see right here right there's also two up close candles so if you go into the higher time frame let's say you go on to the two-minute chart right right if you go into the two-minute chart you guys can Mark out this candle right here you can see you can Mark out this two up Clos consecutive candles right the higher the the higher the time frame the more power it'll hold so as you can see in this case right this is your up Clos candle so you can Mark out this order block right so you can Mark out from the wick to the body or you can Mark out from the wick to the top of the body and then you can go back into the one minute time frame and you can see what it looks like on the one minute time frame right and you can see how perfectly right you can Mark out this one minute candle right so this was a one minute order block but on the two-minute time frame since there's two up Clos candles right you could technically classify it as a two-minute order block so in this case you can draw from the wick all the way up to the body right here right which also coincide the top of this Wick and you can see that price right respects it and then it continues wors to the downside right and you can do it every single time so once price breaks below you can Mark out this level obviously this order block whenever it doesn't have a wick right you can just use the bodies but as I mentioned right whenever there's no wick on the bottom these ones are going to be lower probability right the best probability is one from it's the wick to the body so price gets below it and then we can keep marking it out here so price gets below this candle which is this you can Mark out this draw it over where you can see price gets below uh this up close candle so now it should use it as a retest you can see price comes back up uses the bottom right the Strong high probability order block right you can see that price Market make it more clear right you can see price breaks below this candle right once it closes below the candle it's a valid potential order block to be used right so you can see closes below right here you see on this Wick it Wicks all the way up to where the top of the body right you can see in this candle wicks to the top of the body continues lower and then you can see price moves back up and now uses the bottom of the wick and now continues lower right and you can keep doing that right this is works best in a trend as you can see right now this is your up Clos candle right this is a very small Wick right here so right you can you look at this Wick right here right you can draw the order block from the body to the wick as I mentioned highest probability but you can also draw it you can leave a little bit more room so you can use this whole down close candle but you can see that price end up getting below this level and then it came back to retest where right it came back essentially perfectly towards the bottom of the body right the highest probability order block right and and it literally gravitates perfectly towards the downside until this draw in liquidity which was that 179 level which was a key level from back there right whenever you draw the order blocks right it's a lot more easier to use order blocks in comparison to like let's say a certain key level that you drew right cuz when you look at the retest wise the best retest happen on the key levels on the higher time frames but when you're drawing uh levels intraday wise right sometimes you can get confused if you just want to draw the wick or the body right but if you understand what order blocks are you can draw both right you understand that it's the full up closed candle right the green can oh sorry let me see some questions it's actually lowkey cold in here now um in a reversal chart the top candle is an order block yeah I'll show you guys it has to do with the sweeps of liquidity I'll show you guys on that one so any up close candle in a downtrend is considered an order block area yes any single time price breaks Below in or uh what's it called in a downtrend any single time there's up closed candles and we break below right it can be used as a potential order block for continuations lower right I'm just showing you strictly this is order block there's differences as I mentioned between high probability order blocks and low probability order blocks and what type of order blocks you actually want to take towards your trade thesis right right every single time let's say uh I know some people took this trade on AMD right you could have risked the high of this candle right and then your targets could have been all the way down here right every single time it moves lower though it's going to be U Less of a low probability Target especially risk reward wise when it comes closer to your target right so this was this was the best trade off this retest level um I know some people took this one as well right but every single time it comes down right you see the risk reward ratio is kind of smaller every single time so when price breaks below this level you could have used this order block right with stop with the break above here and then Target the same level but you can see right the first trade is obviously better than the second trade and then there's also a third opportunity which was a lower probability one right because we're already so overextended right it's still a scalp right and still offers a decent risk reward ratio but the more times it goes lower and goes closer towards your target right the lower probability it's going to become but if you're in a trade and you see these up close candles be respected right you know you're in a very good position towards the downside um um sorry if it's a let's see sorry if it's a dumb question what do you mean up close candle so up close candle means green right so when you're in a downtrend up close candle is green right that means it's a a green candle in this case my color is green and then this is red candle which my color is black so when we're in a downtrend up close candles are green that's um that can be used as a potential move towards the downside and it's the opposite so when you're upend you want to use down closed candles as support to move towards the upside green candle you just blw my mind with this um do you use order blocks to determine your mental stops so order blocks wise right order blocks can be used as potential entries and exits as well right when you when you're in a position right the break and retest let's say this right here right your stop is going to be the top of this order block because if price gets above this order block that means it should not get above this order block so right as I mentioned that the highest proba ability is from the wick to the body so in this case right you can place your stop any you can place your entry all the way in this order block right you can place it at the body but sometimes you might not get filled right so you can place it at the bottom right the best entry is going to be at the bottom and then you can have your stop technically your Stop's going to be a break above that order block right price should not get above uh the close of this so if it closes above the body majority of the times you know your trade is not valid so you can have your stop literally right above here like your mental stop can be right here here right if you want a hard stop it can be right here right so you can have a mental stop right here entry right here on this order block right price should not get above price should not close above let me tell you right price can technically Wick above right but you do not want to see it close because as I was talk about the Wicks do the damage bodies tell the story right you can see a wick Above This level but you want to see the body candle closures in neath the strongest order block which will be at this level right so you want to see a wick you can see a wick above but you want to see the Body candles close and then you want your targets to be uh this level which was that I forget where I got this level from but you want it to be key levels below so in this case you could have had this target as Target one and then you could have this target as Target Two um where do you place your stop loss top of the order block yeah close above the order block right what are your EMAs uh what are your EMAs uh the 9 and 21 as I mentioned right more confluences technically the better right I don't really use EMAs like that but you can see price comes back also right 9 EMA as well as it moves towards the downside are you using order blocks to enter in a trade do you feel it's safe to even enter off the one minute time frame as I mentioned right the more confluences the better right so if you're strictly just looking at this right it wouldn't be enough right for me to determine a bias I always look for where's the draw liquidity where is Price most likely going to ahead and then base my trade off that right I'll also have the QQQ pulled up beside right we're not even we don't even have the QQQ pulled up beside so we're not even engaging relative strength or weakness as well right and there's and as I mentioned on the one right multiple confluences if there's the key levels right just a woman minute order blocking itself is not enough right you want the multiple confluences you want the order blocks you want the retest levels you want the fair value gaps you want the displacement uh right you want to know where the price is heading where's the draw liquidity right there's multiple things and then if you also have relative what's the higher time frame try doing right there's a lot more that uh plays into it but uh I'm strictly just talking about order blocks as of right now uh sapao um which where let's see which is better between support and resistance vers order block right you can use I use support and resistance as areas of targets right a lot time support and resistance there's a lot of liquidity wrestling around around those areas so I'll get in on a one minute order block to Target those areas of support or resistance where that liquidity is rting but a lot of times the best uh the best order blocks happen occur around those support and resistance levels because those are key areas sorry if this was answered but is over uh sorry if this is answer but is it being taped yeah as I mentioned guys every single thing uh that we do is always recorded right every live session every weekly session right trade Recaps everything don't worry everything is being recorded it will be uploaded for you guys to review back on so uh when do you know the trend is over using the order block so right if you're strictly just looking at the one Technically when you're looking at the one minute time frame once it breaks above the order block it technically it would be a market structure shift on the one minute time frame but when you're looking at Trend wise you always want to look at the higher time frame so you want to look at the one hour time frame where's liquidity resting right if I go back onto this example on AMD you can see on the weekly Outlook right weekly Outlook I mentioned on the I'll talk about this more but you can see I mentioned on the weekly out if you guys watch the video I said that price was most likely going to gravitate back towards this 164 level right you can see that we have a retest uh push a strong push and then we had a nice move back towards the downside if you look on the weekly time frame right this 4 is the key level is the previous all-time highs level so coming into this week right we have been bearish for the past couple of weeks we had a nice push down we finally broke structure back towards the downside on the 1 hour time frame right strong push down and then we had consolidation and then I mentioned that AMD had a nice move towards upside retesting the alltime highest level now after a big push we are expecting now after a big push we are back towards the 180 level I expect the market to push back towards the 164 in the future for a retest on the higher time frame so you can see exactly what happened this week price uh was underneath the 180 right essentially a retest on the higher time frames right it got below you can see we ended up uh retest the used uh resistance over here broke above it used it as sorry let me clear this up right resistance earlier right got above it retest you can see towards the upside came back down support finally broke underneath it and you can see these candles right tried getting above never really had any continuation stayed heavy and then we ended up breaking down towards the downside right which was that draw in liquidity which is this area this 164 right when you're looking at the trend you're looking at the higher time frames and you want to be monitoring on the five minute right or one minute a lot of the times can fake you out you want to be looking at the five minute so we'll go on to the FIV minute chart here you can see on the F minute time frame right on the five minute time frame you can see that price right price was so bearish on this day that it didn't even come back up to retest these order blocks right which is so crazy to think of about right price was so bearish on AMD that this was the order block here right price didn't even come up and tap this that's how you know uh AMD was so weak on the day right this would have been your order block right price did even come back up to retest so it was so weak and then you can see in this example these are order blocks down here right eventually when price got below it used it as a retest and then end up contining low it just died off right super weak on AMD on Thursday [Music] um so the order blocks is where there's significant buy or sell stops who do we know once price gets to order block will it go up will it go up or low right so when you're look it's all based off the higher time frames right so whatever thesis is in your is uh whatever thesis you have right and that's just based off the higher time frame higher time frame contacts of course if you're um if you're bearish right you could have been looking for these up close candles for moves towards the downside if you're bullish on the other hand right these order blocks would have never came into play because you would have had a different thesis great is this screen fuzzy for anyone else um yeah I don't know Discord sometimes like that uh sorry it may be a stupid question but what is your understanding of the draw liquidy is the same as sweeping liquidity uh the draw liquidity I'll talk about this more maybe in uh maybe next week but the draw is understanding where the liquid is resting and the liquid is resting above old highs and old lows so you'll see whenever we uh look for targets coming to the uh market right we'll always start off on the daily chart and then we'll work our way down onto the lower time frames right we'll mark out key highs and lows right previous day highs previous day lows those are the areas that will'll potentially look to Target because there's always liquidity resting above and below those areas right and the draw liquidity is essentially asking yourself where is Price most likely going to gravitate towards right are be looking for extern internal liquidity which is um which is our previous day highs previous day lows are we looking for internal liquidity is price trying to return back inside the range where it's going to be looking to go either retrace back into a side of fair Valley Gap right which is an imbalance or like an order block right and you'll see that a lot of the times price moves price always moves from internal liquidity to external liquidity and then vice versa usually key highs and lows there's uh liquidity resting at those areas double tops Double B yeah exactly uh okay so that was it for the downside right now let's try and find a an example let's just go on the next day on AMD right let's see how well this is not the greatest example but we'll uh do this one but the next day right when price uh had a a big uh red candle right here but when price gets above back Above This level right what should happen right price should be using this as support so you can see that price got back above finally closed below this bearish candle so they can draw it from the wick to the body right wick to the body and then you can extend it over right whenever you extend it over you can see in this candle price tapped in right Wicks below Wicks into the top of this order block continues higher and then when price gets about back Above This level right it should be used this order block right as you can see this order block is not the greatest order block you can see this would have been your down close candle because this is the two second consecutive down close candles so this can be used as an order block obviously as I mentioned the high high probability order blocks happen from the wick to the body and there's no Wick in this case so that's kind of like an invalid order block entry right so price comes back down you can see a Wicks all the way down into this order block and then continues towards the upside right there's no Wicks here so obviously it's a lot more difficult for the order blocks wise but you can see in this case right an order block as well and then price Taps into this case and then continues higher towards upside let me look at a actually a better example um let me go on to yeah I'll go into uh the es right so es right let's say you had a bullish buyers buys coming into this day right essentially you want to be drawing down closed Candles now so let's just say for example right price gets Above This level right down closed candles right here mark it over right price Taps into this level then you can go back on here right these are up close Candles now so you can mark it from the body of the wick right price almost Taps it into here let's see if it Taps it right so this is your down close now price got back above it this is your down close candle I'm sure tapped it in on the NQ right either tap in on the NQ or the yes yeah the exact same time what was this 955 so 955 right you can see that the NQ made this order block and then you can draw this one over here right price got back Above This level right with displacement as well right displacement right there's also an imbalance as well right so we have multiple confli fluences right so you can see how this works right when price is right here we'll move back onto this level why is my did my thing just what's happened in my internet uh I don't know if my trading view just is it crash or is it my internet I have no clue yeah I have no clue what just happened there but yeah okay let's go back onto this uh right here right so this was a key level let me see uh displacement retest displacement versus retest are very similar um yes uh J will you exit a trade if the candle Clos above the 21 or 9 EMA yeah I don't really use EMAs it's based me based off liquidity I just have the 9 EMAs really just for aesthetic reasons are order blocks only in an up or downtrend not in a sideways yeah the order blocks right the best order blocks happen in a trend right that's how I use order blocks right order blocks can happen in consolidating markets as well right that's where the reversal order blocks come in right it's best used in consolidating markets right but I personally like to use order blocks in when it's in a trend right that's works best for my system right as I mentioned there's two different types of order blocks there's continuation and reversal order blocks so you I'll talk more about strictly right now I'm talking about continuation order blocks because that coincides with the break and retest and it's a lot more easier to explain but I'll talk about potential of the reversal order blocks um yeah order blocks works best in try Market lol this blowing my mind too internet still good display and Crea fair value got back to over Dam start to Mak sense so yeah you see in this example right so um on the higher time frames right obviously price is coming back down into this order block right yesterday I was I had the wrong bias right I was I was bearish right but let's say you're bullish for example right right so you can see if you're bullish right you can see price came up into this level where's this level this key retest level on the higher time frames so you go into the 1 hour time frame right you mark this level was essentially a 50% retracement let's actually Mark out this right you can Mark out this right here right right so this is your uh essentially your retest on the higher time frames on the one hour time frame right so you can see this is the low rate here we can go back onto the five minute chart right I had the wrong bias right I was bearish yesterday right but let's say you're bullish for example so you're bullish for example you can see that price Taps into this order block right when it's respecting PD arrays right you know it's a good trade towards the upside right I was anticipating for the market to break structure it never did uh you can see let's say it Taps price comes back at 1025 Taps into this order block and then we'll keep playing the tape right so this is resistance so this is where your breaking retest comes in right so this is your resistance level on the chart so you can see price has displacement on this green candle right and then what does it leave right so it leaves a fair value Gap so we have one so we have a fair value Gap here right what do we also have we have this FIV minute order block right what does it also have it now it's technically now resistance and now should act as support right so when price comes back down into this level you want to be looking for potential Longs because there's it's now resistance turned into support there's also Al creates displacement which is this fair value Gap this imbalance there's also this order block which is this 5 minute order block right so there's three confluences here right so when price comes back down into this level you can see where does it come back into right we don't want to chase price when it's all the way up here because there's no areas of support right if you look on the one minute time frame right if you look at this order block right what would this be this would be kind of a Chase right you can see price respects it right but it doesn't have that much continuation because it's not around key levels right let let's say if someone was just strictly on the one minute time frame right right A lot of people if you're only on the one minute time frame and you see price just like this right you would have been like oh this is potentially a good area to Long the position right you long the position with a stop a break below here and then let's say your Target's high right 2.7 rward ratio right let's say you had a close a stop below this order block it never stop below but let's say this was your trade thesis right you would have been like oh this is a decent trade thesis right it it pops up but eventually would have got stopped out because this is not a high quality order block because you're strictly only on the one minute time frame right if you look on the 5 minute time frame this is the key retest level this is on the 5 minute this is where it has displacement this is where the fair value Gap is well as well this is the key level all the way down here so that's why you can see this one minute trade wouldn't have worked out you see we had a little bit of a reaction off this one minute order block but not too much right so so you go back on the 5 minute here right you can see that this is the 5 minute order block right 5 minute retest right if you're looking for a position you could have you can either buy at the top of this obviously the wrist reward would make sense if you had closer down towards this order block right here right so this is your imbalance level right you can put it to the top of this candle right here with just a stop or a break below here this can be your scalp right you can see that price ended up coming back in right tapping it right perfectly you can go back until the 1 minute time frame right obviously this looks kind of steep right so if you're on the 5minute chart and you understand this a one minute order block what can your entry be right your entry can be this inverse fair value this inversion fair value Gap right obviously if you're just looking at this right you would have been like it's very steep right you could have seen oh it's kind of price is kind of bearish right if you want to wait for extra confirmation right if you're trading on the 5 minute time frame you can wait for price to tap in here but if you're trading strictly on the one minute time frame you can wait for this inversion of this fair value Gap right and once price inversion right once price inverses it you can then this is the higher probability one where you can enter in off this and you can have your stops bro below and then your targets highs right so when price inverses this fair value Gap that usually is an indication of price is going to continue higher and you can see that price ends up holding this inversion fair value Gap right you can see the Wicks right tries to Wick below right you can see the Wick's below but the bodies tell the story so you see the bodies are holding this inversion and then that's where it gravitates higher towards the upside and then you could have taken profits at these highs right here right and that's if you have a bullish buy and then you could have scaled right there and you can see right here if you're looking on the one minute time frame right what's happening every single time there's a down closed candle now right you see that price these are your down closed candles this is your order block you guys can mark this out right essentially price came back down into this order block let's can't really see it as well but yeah this is your order block here price essentially came back down into this down Clos candle and then used it as a retest and then continued higher towards the upside and then you can just keep doing that right so every single time when price gets Above This level right let's see if price respects this I actually have no clue what happens here yeah no price doesn't tap back into this order block but yeah it just continues towards the upside so that's an an example of a bullish uh bullish scenario where you can use the order blocks right best order blocks as I mentioned right multiple confluences around key levels right so instead of right right if you just have one key level and you didn't have the order block sometimes people can get a little bit messed up right if you just are strictly just trading support and resistance you didn't understand order blocks or fair value gaps or displacement right some people have the wick right here right is in this case right this trade would have worked out right but sometimes if you go into the one minute time frame right if you had just had the wick drawn out right you could have seen maybe someone would have mentioned that uh it ended up breaking the breaking retest level right if you were right here and you saw price come back down into this level and you only just had this level drawn out this level you would have said if you're on the one minute time frame you would have been like damn price ended up breaking structure towards the downside right just based off of this one minute candle but if you're on the 5 minute time frame and you understood order blocks you would have understood that this was your down Clos candle and price can Wick back inside this and you can see where the it Wicks down but the body candle closure below right so we're still in a very good bullish structure on the five minute time frame um displacement creating fair value retest back into the order block damn starting to make sense to me on the es chart yeah exactly the more confluences you have the better the when you see price like this in an uptrend you'll see it'll start to click and you'll start to see how price respects these levels right when I figured out order blocks I was like damn I'm like this I was like this clicks so much because I back before right I never understood um right sometimes you would always hear people uh you would ask the question you're like where do you draw the the level at do you draw it at the wick do you draw it at the body right you never had a clear answer because people would just say whatever fits right they'll be like oh if it if it hit the wick they' be like oh it's the wick if it goes down all the way to the body it would be the body right but now once I understood order blocks and I realized it's this whole candle right this whole candle should act as support for moves towards the upside right this is your down closed candle right the strongest levels to bounce off of are from the top top of the wick to the body and I was like damn I'm like that makes so much sense because sometimes you'll see it bouncing off the wick and then sometimes you'll see it bouncing off the body and you're like which one do I have to choose but once you understood that's it's the whole area right the whole down close candle should act as support for moves towards upside I was like wow that makes so much more sense could you list the confluences again fair so yeah fair if you have displacement so you have a fair Valley Gap you also have a breaking retest you have order blocks you have displacement it it also coin sides with the key level and you have higher time frame liquidity levels above right you have the higher time frame draw liquidity right that's what makes it the high probability trade um dang this would have kept me in a lot of Trades yeah yeah once you especially on the higher time if you're on the higher time frames uh you'll see it uh the levels respect a lot more all right I think do you guys have any questions on the order block and like exactly what an order block is before I go into the the examples I actually took most people's brain right now yeah no when I figured out the order box I was like ain't no way I was like how did I not know this the whole time you guys make this simpler than other people make it out to be really appreciate the in-depth examples yeah so these examples right here obviously it's in hindsight and I did not take these Trad but the next examples I'm going to be showing you are the ones that I took live from the lecture till now uh can you list three ke key key takeaways uh the key takeaways for the order blocks right make sure right first thing you got to understand is there's two difference right the the continuation order box or the reversal Order Box uh also right you always want to have uh multiple confluences I always talk about that multiple confluences the better right when you have the breaking retest right the break and retest works good if you have just a key level and you also have a relative strength and relative weakness but the break and retest will work even better if you have displacement if you have order blocks if you have fair value gaps in combination with the break and retest that's what makes it the high probability ones um that and then what's it called higher time frame yeah higher time frame I always talk about higher time frames right this might this um this only matters right the order blocks if you understand the higher time frame and if you get the higher time frame draw on liquidity right as you can see right I had the I had the higher time frame drawing liquidity wrong right I was bearish on this day so this would have not really affected me unless it took this trade right here but the higher time frame is also very important the draw liquidity where's price most likely to get ahead and I'll talk about that more probably next week um is it the same as uh supply and demand uh I never really got into supply and demand too much but uh supply and demand for reversal order blocks a lot of people draw their supply and demand levels off order blocks so when you're talking about rever rals wise yes a lot of people do it is a lot of the levels are very similar going going to go back and look at the charts and see how these order blocks play out yeah if you go back into the charts and now draw your key levels right it'll blow your mind how well these levels are respected and how well um price moves algorithmically um do you also look at the volume below while you take these positions uh I don't really look at volume I'll be honest because there's usually always volume in the market the most volume happens between 9:30 and 11 anyways I used to look at volume a lot but now I just focus on where is Price most liking ahead which is the draw liquidity and what price action is doing uh no doubt uh thank you sir hope everyone's taking notes yeah so now I'm going to be going on to um key examples that I actually uh took let's go back onto here so February 20 fth okay right it's very easy to look at these examples in hindsight but I'm going to be going over the ones that actually took in real time right this was traded in front of live in front of the old Mastermind students uh as well as the my old room as well so this day right it was on February the 16th um I'll show you guys the order Block Level but let's go back onto the Tesla chart February 16th okay all right so we'll go into to the higher time frames uh first at the very start so we'll start off on the daily chart right this was when price was all the way back here uh it was forming an inverse Head and Shoulders on the higher time frames on the 1 hour time frame right it was forming an inverse Head and Shoulders it had a gap up as well so that's why I was bullish coming into this day right we go into the lower time frames let's go on here for a second let's actually draw the key levels that I had I think I remember I had this key level draw it up I had this key low and I also had this low as well this High which is this Gap level right I was expecting price to return back inside this Gap so this was what the thesis was coming into the morning oops is this the last do I not have enough data for this oh well that's unfortunate do I not let's see oh well I can't go back that far well I don't know if it's the plan or whatever but yeah so as you can see right here we'll go back into the uh trade Zilla cuz it shows but you see it pops up here we have a gap and go essentially for the market so on Tesla right I'm looking for that opening drive play towards the upside right the opening drive play is what I like to hit a lot of the times right as you as people in the old room know right I love trading off the open especially if it's opening drive play and we have higher time frame thesis right but you can see that price comes back into the open uh this is the order block from yesterday right but you can see it perfectly bounces from here and then we'll play out uh we'll look at this chart right so we Mark out this key level on uh this was the pre-market High we'll go back onto the executions but you can see right here so let's say oh we don't have the pre-market let's say trade [Music] Zilla I wonder if trade Zilla does it not show pre-market data on trade Zilla that's actually very unfortunate I guess it doesn't show pre-market data on trade Zilla but you can see right here that just know that the pre-market high was here as well so there's multiple confidence so this was a key resistance level towards the upside right I ended up capturing the opening dve play towards the upside uh this was a more aggressive entry but I mentioned in the chat I remember that this was the next level to look out for which was this um let's oh my let's see where is everything where's the man trade Zilla sucks but you can see right here this is an order block right here so the order block it came up to a key resistance level just know that this was a uh pre-market high level right so this was a pre-market high level right price ends up wicking above it right you could see it forms in a red candle which is expected because that's a reaction around this level right so this was a a pre-market high level price got Above This level and you can see that this was an order block now right you can see that uh where is this rectangle okay let me just draw it with lines but you can see that right here you can see that this is the wick and then you can draw it to the body right right so just understand that this is an order block right here you can see price got above that level came back down to retest it it was a one minute order block and then it had continuation towards the upside which was the higher time frames right and then it came back down once more tapped into this one minute order block again and then continued higher I wish I could show the the one minute time frame on uh on the actual trade let me is there no way to go back that far no that's actually very unfor unfortunate was it this day let's see no I can't go back that far okay whatever well I I guess I got to choose examples that are closer in but yeah so man that's so unfortunate yeah we'll stick on to the five minute time frame right it still shows the uh explanation pretty well but yeah just know that this was a pre-market high level there's a one minute order block right that's where a lot of people else entered right I captured the opening drive play so I was able to hold for this move right A lot of people took the scalps um off that one minute order block that I mentioned right this one minute order block right A lot of people took this move right here right your entry could have been let's see long positions right A lot of people took this entry right one minute order block on the top and then you had continuations to the move higher and then you can see on the 5 minute time frame right we're only on the 5 minute time frame now but we can see that if you're marking out continuation levels you could have marked out this order block right price moved all the way up here but it came back down into where this key order block as well right you can see this order block right wouldn't have been as nice because you see huge Wicks right here this was the key one around the key level right price dipped all the way back inside here and then end up continuing towards the upside and then you could end up marking at this one right when price got back Above This level right you can see it used it as a retest and then continue towards the upside and then so on and so on right sorry that wasn't the best explanation I didn't realize I couldn't go back onto the charts but do you guys have any questions about that um let's see can you make a video about the importance on higher time frames if we can do a zoom call in the future screen's mad fuzzy it's fine for me ding it okay yeah I'll try um doing Zoom next time if it's that bad I don't know discord's kind of weird but I guess most of my examples aren't going to be shown I guess if it's February 29th let's go back on this day right February 29th let's replay this tape let's see if we can find it okay so February 29th was one of my this was actually my biggest day of the year this was on AMD the reason why I was bullish on AMD you can see the higher time frames right if you're looking at AMD wise you can see very clear retest on the higher time frame so you start off on the weekly time frame right so let's clear out all these levels right clear out all that so this is what we are looking at on the higher time frames on AMD coming into this right what does this look like look on the weekly time frame it's it's an order block right you can see price came up into this level right almost tapped this order block essentially using that support continue toward the upside right when we had a big move towards the upside right this is now your down Clos candle right you should use this as support for continuations towards the upside so you can see the top of the wick which is your breaking retest level you see on the weekly time frame right price is essentially consolidating right so when it's consolidating like this right what are we expecting continuation higher right higher time frame very clear to me right so you can see on this St right we have a gap up if you look on the 1 hour time frame uh we keep playing it right essentially we're consolidating right so we have a big pushup right we have clear uh higher time frame draw liquidity which is this all-time highs level we're now forming a downtrend break on AMD right essentially a downtrend break on AMD so coming into this morning on the 29th right I'm very bullish right so we have a big push up from the highs at 164 right on the higher time frames we have a downtrend break a lot of consolidation so on this day very bullish on AMD if you go on to the lower time frames hopefully I'll let's see if it'll give me the one minute time frame oh can't go on the one minute time frame this is nice all right so on the one minute time frame let's mark out these levels right so on the one minute time frame right on AMD right very bullish to start off the day right very bullish right off the gates um if I could pull up the QQQ I would but just understand there was extreme relative strength on AMD and there was clear targets towards the upside which was the alltime highest level right so it's showing extreme relative weakness as the cues were pulling back let me actually I'll bring up the cues as well so I'll be a lot better but you see right we had a strong push up all we had was one down close candle on this whole way up right so so far in the first five minutes we only had one down closed candle on AMD and right this obviously right here right it's just only a one minute order block but the reason why I like this order block so much was because there was a lot of relative strength and because there was clear targets towards the upside which was that 184 level but you play the tape here you can see that price I know a lot of people right you can see that price WIS all the way down into this area right so this is your order block right from the top of the wick to the body in this case right the body is pretty small so you can just move it to the bottom of the body right you can see it Wicks all the way down I know a lot of people entered in right here on this first trade at 940 right you can see it Wicks all the way down but the bodies look at the bodies tell the story The Bodies when the bodies hold the top of the wick you know you're in a very good position so a lot of people took the first entry I waited a little bit for more confirmation but as soon as price came back down in towards this level right here right that's exactly where I entered right it also coincided with this mini downtrend break right I ended up entering in off my position on AMD I'll show you guys the executions in a sec but stop just a break below essentially this trend structure right here a close below this trend structure and then targets being that 184 level let's go back onto this or what day was this on the 29th right you can see right here on the 29th uh entered in right off this one minute order block right at 950 and then you can see that price just absolutely expanded towards the upside and the reason being is because of the higher time frames levels and also the relative uh the strength as well let me see if I can pull this up on the q's this will be the best if I can pull this up as well February 29th right look at February 29th on the uh let me see if I can get the replay mode on this as well oh I actually can that's actually perfect right look um 29th right so let's play out the first 30 minutes so first 30 minutes you can see the complete difference between between the q's The Q's is essentially just consolidating right so we're consolidating in the first 30 minutes on the q's and then on on AMD right we had a clear push towards the upside right right off the gates super strong push towards the upside we had that all-time highest level which was that 184 level right prices coming back down into where right coming back down into the one minute order block right so as as 950 was happening right essentially price right here at 950 right QQ was kind of just chilling at the lows right Q Q was chilling at the lows AMD was chilling at the highs right showed extreme relative strength so that's why I entered in off this one minute order block right stop just to break below here and targets was that 184 level and if we play out the tape you can see that price right price absolutely mooned towards the upside and then you can go into the F minute chart right where's the FIV minute order block now right look at this on this is the 5minute down Clos candle this is also a 5minute down Clos candle as well but once price closes Above This level you can Mark out this order block right you want to see this used as a support level right and you can see that this was your five-minute order block right also it's the one minute order block right here price came back down tapped it perfectly right tapped it perfectly it's also holding basically this high right here so it tapped it perfectly and just absolutely launched towards the upside on AMD and then on AMD right where's the next order block the next order block right here so you can mark this out right and you can see that price end up sweeping liquidity I end up selling my position right majority of my position end up scaling on these highs uh and then I ended up leaving trailers right where was my trailers right I wanted to see price hold this level support now on the 5 minute time frame you can see price ended up having a reaction off the alltime highs level which was expected so we had a reaction off the alltime highs level price came back down into where levels of support support is right here this down closed candle and then right what happened after that price absolutely just mooned towards the upside and then where's the next level where's the next down close candle bam right here right this down close candle right here also coincides with this 184 level which was this alltime highs level so what happened price came back down all the way into this area right look at this down closed candle which perfectly coincided with this all-time highest level which perfectly coincided with this down five minute down closed candle right and then it absolutely just mooned towards the upside and you can see every single time now it's respecting these levels and it just kept on gravitating higher right you can see this down Clos candle being respected right once it came down right and then the next one right like this down Clos candle respected and then it just gravitated higher I ended up holding trailers uh towards the upside ended up gapping up um and end up being an absolute monster trade right ended up being right I only had $112,000 um position size on this one I was only risking a th uh uh $2,000 so I was risking $2,000 on this trade and I ended up making over 14,000 which was a over a 7 to1 risk reward Rao end up being one of my best trades um of the year on AMD right ended up holding like 10% of my position and that 10% and it make me an insane amount and you can see what happened on the higher time frame as well right you can see that on the lower time frames you can see how the higher time frame develops right I always want to talk to you guys about the higher time frames as well you can see the one minute the one hour right it looks very clean right if you're looking at the 1our time frame you would be like wow why would anyone sell out of this position right if you're looking at the 1 hour time frame cuz you can see that price got above clear retest right clear retest on this candle wicks down into this retest level which is the 24 continues towards the upside right but that's on the 1 hour time frame what's happening on the lower time frames right the fem minute right A lot of people if they're looking at this five minute chart and they saw this volume coming back down into this key level right they might have got shaken out because they're like oh it's very it's uh very steep drop right but this is very normal because we already had such a big push up right we essentially had a gap and go towards the alltime highest level right this is the key retest on the higher time frames that's why I had this order block level drawn out that's why I had this key level right here at this 184 and that's why I bounc off this level on the higher time frames and move towards upside and you can see how well every single time price moves higher these down Clos candles get respected yeah you guys what's it called uh let's see it's fine for me try rewatching it later mik work better we do what's the moment uh what's what the mo what's the moment you pull the trigger for your entry on the order block the entry on this case was uh right it was coming down into testing it once again and there was also relative uh strength as well right so the more times I touched it right I was more intrigued because I understood that there's relative strength and the main reason I took this trade was because of the alltime highs level right unta liquidity right it was the drawn liquidity where where there's untapped liquidity so that's why I took this trade because there was a very high probability trade and you guys always can look back right you guys can go back I posted the live session of this on um on uh what's it called let's actually pull this up on if you go to the Discord and go to the JB's education right let's see where is this so you can go on to the live sessions and you can click this February thing right here right so I have the February uh I have all the live sessions pulled up here you can you guys can see uh this was on AMD uh let's see the 29th right so I have all the live sessions pulled up so you guys can go back and watch this right the key ones are the the big days that I had which was the Nvidia and you can see I traded this let's see what day was this right you can see this right here let's see right I was taking this exact trade on AMD so you guys can go back and see exactly what I was looking at in time this is very important if you guys want to look at the session you can see I have this one minute order block drawn out you can see I ended up having this trade thesis and then I end up playing go towards the upside right as you can see right not hindsight I had the exact levels drawn out literally to a tick and then it moved towards the upside and I had these order blocks Str out I'm chilling now yeah yeah so you guys can go back right it's on the JB's education I have every single live session pulled up um that I traded live this year so you guys can go back this one's a very key one the uh the February 22nd one is very nice the February 29th and then also the one on Tesla which was I think February uh I'm not exactly sure what day it was but yeah these two ones you want to make sure and look back because they're perfect examples of A+ setups the live trading on the February 22nd and the 29th so yeah that was the one example so that was my second example of AMD let's see if I have another example I can go over right this is just the A+ setup examples and then I have oh Tesla on the 27th sorry you guys have any questions on that one let's see that that's um drink some water um that's awesome can't wait to watch your live trades yeah go back and watch the live trades um February was like one of my second biggest months and I I was literally killing it cuz the price action was absolutely insane that month you guys can go back and watch those trades um that's all uh education Channel not open for the accelerator for the accelerator no you guys can see it it's under jdub education right it's underneath education Vault or underneath the trading floor uh what percent of your trades involve order blocks a lot of the times my trades always somehow involve order blocks here and there right if I'm not if I'm not entering off an order block I'm usually targeting an order block or it's either some sort of like what's what's it called break and retest like whenever I trade break and retest I try my best to have some sort of uh order Block in combination right that's what makes it high probability all right let's go into February 27th on Tesla wait is it February 27th let's see was it okay it was this day right here so it's actually February 26 so you can see right if I put on the extended trading hours uh it'll end up taking me off of this but on Tesla wise right we had consolidation on this day right we had a clear relative strength right off the gates right we had the a clear Gap up if I pull up the q's as well let me go back onto this trade when it's February 279th February 27th so you can see right here right you you can see the clear discrepancy between Tesla and the q's right Q's had a gap down Tesla literally opened up right around its previous day uh right around its previous close so right off the Gates Right absolutely launched towards the upside the first entry that I took was very aggressive right it was this first minute pullback but you can see that right here this first minute pullback was very aggressive um a lot of people weren't able to take this entry but I end up taking an entry right off this first pullback but you can see as the market pulls up let's clear off this right here real quick right there was another key level on Tesla which was this one minute order block as well right you can see that this trade was based based off of um relative strength right you can see as the cues are essentially just consolidating all day Tesla is showing extreme relative strength so every single time it has down closed candles price should uh be respected right if price closes above those down closed candles that should be used as support towards the towards the upside so you can see in this case right this is your down close candle now obviously price didn't tap into it but you can see this is your down close candle right you can just Mark a down Clos candles right but your best down Clos candles occur when it's at Key level so in this case I had a key level drawn at 196 right this is also your order block right here right I did not take this trade right because um I was in down here right I was in down here so I did not take this second trade but I know a lot of people ended up taking this uh secondary trade towards upside because there's relative strength onp Tesla uh a lot of people ended up taking this entry which was off this one minute order block right with stops just to break below this level right this was your breaker structure point was based off of this one minute order block uh really there was not too much displacement on this one so that's why I didn't add into my position but a lot of people took this one and then scaled it all the way to the ORS upside you can see that price ended up holding this level perfectly right wick tries to Wick below but as always have mentioned as I always mentioned right the Wicks do the damage bodies tell the story and then you could have taken this scalp off this level for continuation towards the upside um that was another example like I have so many examples on uh the previous ones but what oh it's already 11:5 all right now I'm going to be going on to oops all right so do you guys have any questions on that one right if you guys in your experience in your trades have you actually taken what percentage would you say the order blocks uh in your experience in trades do you have take what percentage would you say the Box move do not work and have not follow through if you trade what's it called if you trade in a right Trend and you have the right draw liquidity the order blocks will always work right as long as you have the right draw in liquidity right if we're in choppy consolidating markets and you try and trade order blocks right with no clear draw liquidity you don't have any confluences right A lot of times you'll get chopped around but if you have a clear draw liquidity you'll see that price will always be respecting these down closed candles yeah just go back on your chart and look at look at how price uh moves around these like order blocks in these high are you releasing a module on the order blocks yeah I think we'll be talking about order blocks more I think it's a module might be module 4 I'm not exactly sure but okay let's now so if you guys have any more questions about the order blocks before I move on to the weekly Outlook right do you guys have any questions about how to draw order blocks bullish order blocks bearish order blocks um ask any questions right now before I move on to this weekly Outlook okay Dam sweet I feel like it's a chico no yeah trust when you look at the order blocks now in combination if you guys trade the break and retest right if you do it within combination of the break and retest you'll look at the charts a lot differently now okay let's start off on the weekly Outlook and then I'll be go recapping the trades that I took this week personally all right so as I mentioned right Market overview after hitting all-time highs the market has been stuck in consolidating which is expected these markets are now just going to slowly move higher and higher trading these type of conditions can be difficult especially when trading the indices whenever trading at all-time highs you want to look for sectors that have a lot of volatility like the AI sector and semiconductors have been the past few months keeping and keep looking at those sectors until they provide the best uh as they'll provide the best opportunities and they'll have the most liquidity and volatility uh so that's why I said on the market overview right once the market moves towards all-time highs as I mentioned right there's less inflow into the markets right A lot of times when we have such a big move like we did uh if we look on the higher time frames on like let's say the NQ for example right if you look at the weekly chart right we've had nice price action essentially for the past year right when we had this big move towards all-time highs right it was very clear price action right we we're in a very clear Trend towards the upside but now once it hits the all-time high level there's no targets left right this was the final Target which was this all-time highs level and now you can see we're just consolidating above the all-time highs level which was expected because now after this right what what happens you can't look left right when you're trading alltime highs you can't look left so you just have to understand that it's going to be now just essentially just going to chop its way and it's just going to slowly algorithmically move its way towards uh the upside right which isn't the best for trading especially if you're trading the indices right it makes it very difficult conditions especially when you're trading the this type of higher time frames right the consolidations um right I also have key takeaways you guys can read this if you'd like key economic uh events right I always post the key economic events right the red folder News uh is the ones that are the most important I always put this one down uh where can I find uh what app do you use for economic calendar right this is called Forex Factory uh forexfactory.com um you guys can search this up this is where everyone gets their news from for red folders news at least for indices right to see the economic events uh where can I find this book this PDF file you mean it's in the weekly outlook on my education tab you can go into jdub's education and you can go into the weekly Outlook um so yeah let's go what I was looking at for the technical analysis for the es this week right I said after hitting Alti highs the Market's been slowly gravitating higher as you can see the Market is holding levels whenever the market is in uptrend and down close candles right uh the market will use these down close candles as support for Mose higher this is also known as order blocks these levels can be these levels towards the leftside can be seen found using fibs and psych levels key levels to look out for are on all the way down towards the order block on The Daily time frame at 5256 so this is what I said coming into this week on the n on the es let's see how the played out right right you can see coming into this week right it actually ended up holding this level right price uh on Monday right when price was at all-time highs I said it can come back down towards this order block and you can see that after sweeping this High where did price come back down towards right so it swept this High where's the level of support now the level of support is down at these down closed candle which is this order block you can see price ended up coming down all the way into this order block right bounced here for two days right you can see price end up bouncing off this order Block Level right it came up bounced off the top of this order block and then started continuing towards the upside right it was looking good for a move back towards the all time highest level right you can see it kept on holding levels oops let's right you can see the market ended up holding levels towards the upside right these order blocks right kept on holding these levels but then we had the news right obviously news precedes everything right technicals right technically news comes first right whenever he has an injection of volatility that comes into the market technically uh technical is really go with the window because he had that news Factor absolutely just tanked the market and now price is all the way back honestly below this uh daily order block but you can see on the weekly time frame if you draw weekly order blocks right let me remove this right this is your weekly order block now right so you can see price still very much bullish on the weekly time frame because it's holding this weekly order block if I draw it out it would be from here but then other things are going to pop up yeah so you can see right here let me just draw it out I actually can't draw it out but you can see where just PR PR bounce right as I talked about price can go from the body right top of the wick all the way to the body right that's where the best uh order blocks bounc from price came all the way dag down perfectly towards the top of this body on the weekly time frame and that's where it bounc now you can see end up pushing back towards upside and now it's back at this order block on this time frame so that's what I said on the es right if you look on the NQ right same thing as I kind of mentioned I was like thes is coming into this week as you can see the market is has been quite choppy after hitting alltime highs which is expected the market has really no volatility and slowly just going to make its way higher and higher the best way to trade in this type of conditions is just keep longing till the uh keep longing the markets look for one hour downtrend and then look for breaks of structure towards upside key levels to look out for as alltime high level we're going to get a test uh of this level we are going to get a test of that level this week and we'll see the type of reaction we'll get around those levels uh that's what I said on the NQ right NQ wise we actually did not test the highs and the reason being is because the es swept the level so it's called Divergence so right es swept the highs and moved its way down and now the es right and Q is essentially back towards if you look on the weekly if you look on the higher time frames right you look at the weekly chart right it's essentially back inside this order block right but you can see on the daily time frame these conditions are a lot more choppier right right very easy to trade when the market conditions are are in a clear uptrend right in a clear uptrend right I had these if you look on the old weekly outlooks right I had clear order blocks marked out right you can see right when price had on top liquidity right you can see that this was a clear drawn liquidity which was at all-time highest level because we never swept that level right when we don't sweep levels right it's called unmitigated liquidity so when price was up here I mentioned that price was most likely going to come back down where right that was my first example if you guys remember on the order blocks right this was the weekly order block that I talked about which also coincided with if you go here you can draw this weekly order block right essentially this one right here you can go on the daily chart you can refine your levels right you can see that this is your down close candle here which also coincided with the breaking retest on the higher time frames so that's what made it a high probability bounce there's also unmitigated liquidity above so that's what made it very good conditions to trade in because we're in a very clear Trend but once we end up sweeping this level right once we end up sweeping this level we got above all-time highs Market really doesn't have any more clear targets right because now we're already sitting at all-time highs there's no really inflow into the markets so that's why you see for the past month and a half right we've been just seeing consolidation right we've been just stuck in a range and the reason being is because we're at alltime highs as I mentioned let's go on to the next chart I was seeing right I go on Tesla I said thesis coming into this week as you see on the clear as you can see we're clearly still on a downtrend on Tesla the market been all the Tom highs and Tesla has been really one of the weakest tickers in the market it is getting some buys off this 164 level but I expect it to come Tesla level again if it wants to hold this 180 level towards the downside the main levels to watch out for Tesla is the 180 level lots of liquidity around these areas um and you can see right now the market is respecting this level very nicely Tesla is on the daily time frame has been minimal so I'd either look for on the smaller time frames or look for other opportunities I said I said so I'd either look for the smaller time frames or look for other opportunities other tickers for better opportunities um let's go back so that's what I said on Tesla let's pull up the charts right you can see on Tesla wise right price right off the gates on The Daily time frame at least last week right price uh this was a very key level on Tesla right you can see multiple touches right multiple touches here right got back above it when it got back below use it as a retest and then you can see here tries wicking above it pushes back towards the downside right on Tesla a little bit more difficult tricky right on the on the on Tesla right still very bearish on Tesla just doe the high time frames but since we already shorting Tesla is kind of difficult now because we already so low on Tesla and the market was at alltime highs right so you can see Tesla right we had a big gap down I was looking to Target this week I was looking to Target these lows right which is these 164 lows and you can see the way it got you can see the way it got there was in a very interesting way right you see this day right had no continuation right we also had this huge gap level right price didn't want have continuation it looked like it had wanted continuation towards the downside ended up coming back all the way above right even on this day right on this day on Tesla right it was retesting these lows right here right had a nice candle right here had no continuation ended up having an actually a crazy move on Tesla right had a nice crazy move ended up filling this Gap but it was very short Liv right ended up squeezing towards the upside very short lived on Tesla and then it end up just reversing and then on this day right came back down right ended up having uh retesting the lows right here ended up filling the Gap and then end up just dropping straight towards the Target that we originally wanted it to hit but the reason being is because it had news and and just absolutely a lot of manipulation just straight back up right so Tesla this week a lot more difficult to trade uh which was expected right I did say that on the higher time frames I did say that on the weekly Outlook but sometimes right intraday wise can be a little bit difficult so that's what I said on Tesla Nidia wise I said Market uh has been consolidating on the higher time frames for the past few weeks been stuck in this range between 840 and 971 expect the price to come down towards 8 860 one more time uh one more time and test this level before moving higher still is very bullish on this name and targets is still a th towards uh towards the upside I expect all dips to get bought up we are still very bullish on the higher time frames there's no reason that short uh uh what's it called there's no reason on the higher time frames there's no reason that we should be looking for shorts up here I said that on the daily chart wise if you can see on Nvidia right I mentioned that most likely we're going to end up coming back to test this 160 level again the reason being is because this is essentially where all the support is Right a lot of the Demand right a bunch of order block levels as well right essentially these lows right here you can see where you can Mark out this essentially act as an order block you can see it bounces a couple times here and then when price was back here I mentioned it's most likely to come back and test this 180 six level again and that's what we did coming into this week you can see on let's say on the five minute right it's kind of difficult to short these names uh especially when uh on the higher time frames it's still bullish you can see right we had a downtrend break on Nvidia and end up coming back down straight towards this 160 level and now we're having a bounce back so that's what I said on Nidia um what did I say apple thesis coming into the week on Apple Apple is at a key level in the daily time frame this 170 level is a big test for Apple the more times it bounces this level the more times it's going to build up liquidity the higher chances that we're going to break this level to break this level to grab liquidity I expect the market to consolidate around these levels right now and then eventually flush towards the downside key levels are the 170 level and the 178 level towards upside so let's see what happened on Apple right apple on the higher time frames really just consolidating at that level that I was talking about right Apple pretty bearish compared to the q's right lot of consolidation the past week on Apple right um if you look at the weekly chart right this is essentially where did I get this right this is your order block down here right this down close Candle on the daily chart right I think it was a gap level so this is the gap level on Apple that's that's why I bounced here a couple times and now it's chilling at the Gap level on Apple right has been staying very heavy on Apple most likely going to have a pop but all pops will be shorted on Apple and then let's say on AMD what do I see on AMD on this chart I said I already talked about this earlier but I said on AMD right AMD had a very nice move towards upside retesting the alltime highs back in February now after a big push we back towards this 180 level I expect the market to push back towards the 164 in the future for the retest on the higher time frames if the market wants to lower it needs to hold this 184 level towards uh for more downside so that's what I said on AMD you can see AMD right on the higher time frame thesis right played out basically towards a t right higher time frame played towards a t but intraday Wise It's a little bit more difficult uh for the actual execution wise right you can see price end up coming back down below this 180 level that I was talking about and then I marked out this key level and you can see perfectly it ended up essentially rejecting this level once more right rejected it here here once twice right essentially retest towards the downside got below it and then we ended up having a killer move towards the downside straight towards that 164 level that I was talking about because that is right there's also a gap here and that's also where uh the higher time frame retest is on the weekly time frame so that's was a nice move on AMD unfortunately that we could not capture that momentum towards the downside uh let's see what else we're looking at and then meta right meta last shad I was talking about was meta is coming back down towards this key level on the higher time frames if meta wants to move higher it needs to hold this level which is this 485 if not we can see a move down towards the fill the gap on the higher time frames which is 450 meta has tested this 485 level multiple times so let's see if it'll hold this level or it push lower so as you can see on meta right look what happened on meta right clear levels you can see that these down closed Candles now should actually act as uh as support right so in this case right this was technically an up close candle but it's kind of the same thing right we had this uh we had this weekly we had this weekly high that it made from earnings right Sor sorry this is the daily chart right you can see we end up getting Above This level right we end up getting Above This level right there's a daily order block right here which is not as clear right when you look at the tech stocks on the daily chart the levels aren't going to be as clear because they're not continuous right you don't have the 24 uh hour data right there's a lot of gaps in the charts so when you're drawing order blocks on the daily charts especially on the tech names it could be a little bit more difficult but you can see that price ends up coming back down into this level bounces right key level which is this 485 level you can see I perfectly came down once more and then you can see that had relative strength this week on meta and then as I mentioned right this 485 was a key level I said 485 was a key level and then the targets obviously would have been the alltime highs you can see on the 1 hour time frame right tested it multiple times right here price came back down wa Wick below right as always say Wicks do the damage bodies tell the story right bodies are holding Above This level so pretty bullish on meta you can see we essentially had a downtrend break right we could have drawn this out kind of we had a downtrend break and then we ended up gapping up and then heading towards upside on meta all righty let me just grab some water you guys have any questions about the weekly Outlook no questions all right now I'm going to be going on to the trades that I took this week right so that was the weekly Outlook uh the trades right down $2500 this week oh I see someone typing right not the best week for me everything clear all right sounds good right first red week uh this year for me right very manageable on uh only $2,500 on this week right I'm still up over 60 for the year while live trading let's go on the trades that I took this week so first trade that I took was this AMD trade let's take a look at this one right go on to AMD exactly what I was looking at right this is actually my technically my best trade of the week right it was my first one and I messed up the alert but let's go on AMD for uh for a sec right you can see that on this day right let's go into the five minute time frame right we had a big gap down in the markets right big gap down on AMD right we essentially had a gap and go right off this level so very bearish coming into AMD on the market right you can see as the cues right this was on Tuesday right going to Tuesday right you can see that Tuesday right we had a small gap down on the qes you can see AMD had a bigger gap down on the qes and as you as I saw on the weekly Outlook right I was pretty bearish on AMD so that's why I was looking for a moves towards the downside um right so whenever you have such a big push like this towards the downside on AMD right I'll have these levels marked out as well right so this is the low so was a clear Target so you can see on AMD right it had a strong push down right towards the target never end up sweep so it end up having a mini sweep but we didn't end up having a close below so that usually means that there's built up liquidity right so whenever price comes back down Taps this level right so it Taps this level essentially means like a sweep of liquidity so once it has a sweep of liquidity what's most likely going to happen right so price moves from internal liquidity to external liquidity your screen is pixelated yeah sorry there's nothing I can do about it uh so you can see right here price moves back down all the way to where key levels right which was external liquidity so whenever price moves from external liquidity it's going to move back to where internal liquidity right and where's the internal Equity the internal Equity is what's called order blocks fair value gaps right imbalances so you can see that this is your one minute order block right so this is the one minute order block as I mentioned so you can see right here price goes from internal Equity all the way back up to external Equity obviously these order blocks as as as I always say right order blocks or down Clos candles sorry down up Clos candles and downtrends right this is not going to be a valid order block right just because we get below this level right you have to be realistic in what which order block is most like going to happen this was the main target right so obviously if you're looking at order blocks wise you're not going to be looking to short all the way down here right after such a big move down right we already have a gap down right we already just hit the first Target right this was the first clear Target so you're not going to be looking to short off this one minute order block right there's no confluences there's no key levels here right this would not be a good order block to short off of right as when I talk about every single down uh down close C sorry every single up close candle in a downtrend that doesn't mean you can just go look to short every single time it comes back up into these up closed candles right right what makes a high probability order block is what difference right you have to understand what makes a high probability order Block versus low probability order block and I mentioned that earlier I was talking about that a lot so right this was the order block level on AMD right so Price Right sweeps this level comes all the way back inside this where one minute order block right you can see this was the body right here technically price obviously not perfect but you see exactly what's happening price tries holding this uh the wick right and then it rejects off this level right so once it does that right I'm very interested in a short position right technically you can get in a short position off the bottom of the order block right risk is the top right targets would be here right you can get in on the body right or you can wait for confirmation in this case I ended up waiting for confirmation on this candle right I got in where did I get in at I think 1011 right 1011 on this candle right once price ended up breaking down Bel here I ended up getting in on this level right my risk in this case was just right here so this was my trade thesis on AMD right targets was the first Target was here and then the second target was all the way down here so this was my trade for AMD wise right I was looking for this for my first profit Target and you can see right once it Taps into this order block now you can see what these up close candles are doing right you can see now that this up close candle right Taps into internal liquidity right you can see that now these up close candles are using this as support for moves towards the downside right so I got in at 1011 I completely messed up the alert uh as I talked about this earlier um I me I meant to put AMD 175 puts but I said AMD 870 puts because I was looking in the video so I ended up messing up this alert and then you can see uh it ended up gravitating very nicely towards the downside right after hitting at uh 1011 right nice move towards the downside end up scaling a half my position on AMD right half my position at the lows right here and then I ended up holding uh the rest of my trailers uh for essentially just a break even and ended up getting me stopped out uh way much later onto the day but yeah that was my first trade on AMD for the week you guys have any questions on that one where was that relative to pre-market are you talking about like the pre-market data right you can see you can do something like this right yeah pre-market data yeah sure it was all the way down here relative to premarket data like you see in this case right if you have pre market data on you can see that run price right this is an immediate right a very aggressive entry but you technically could have taken this entry as well right right off this order block right which also coincides with this opening candle print low right this is a lot more aggressive entry but you could have I know some people probably took in this trade right essentially this is pre-market low right price gets underneath pre-market low comes back up in the exact same candle immediate rebalance right this is essentially called immediate retest right technically it's not your classic breaking retest where you see a clear levels right where you see this right this is exactly what happened on this right here but on like a 30 second time frame right or like maybe like a like a 10-second time frame right this is exactly what happened price uh moved up higher right at the start and then moved down came back for a retest and then headed lower right this is what it looks like this is what it looked like on like a 30 second time frame right I don't have the 30 second time frame but this is on the one minute time frame it's very quick right it's immediate rebalance right it's essentially called immediate retest so in this case right price gets below immediate retest in the exact same candle and then continues towards the downside right very aggressive you have to know what you're doing you have to have a super you have to be super quick so if price gets above it right you have to cut your trades very quick right essentially one of those trades that has to work right off the gates right but um you have to have clear drawn liquidity right which was right you had clear drawn liquidity which were these lows right you have to have clear relative weakness right which you did have so this could have been uh classified as that opening drive play towards the downside right I could I'll end up teaching this later in probably like another uh another weekly Outlook but yeah this is uh essentially an opening draft play towards the downside Al righty let's go on to my second trade oh actually I took a Nvidia trade earlier as well let's go on the Nvidia trade um I took a Nidia trade actually earlier that day let's just review this this one real quick I think this was on Tuesday right on this one right I had a similar idea on amb it just didn't really have any follow through on uh Nidia that's why I cut it real quick you can see Nidia popped up right looking at Nvidia this one is a little bit more overextended uh let's see was this on Tuesday yeah it was on Tuesday but you can see on Nidia right I was I was trying to play momentum towards the downside right we ended up having a clear breaking retest levels right we ended up getting below this level essentially right didn't end up coming down to retest it perfectly in the market open I would have liked to seen it come and retest this level right didn't end up capturing that level so I wanted to play a potential continuation towards the downside so as you can see in this case on Nvidia right I wanted to use this order block right very small displacement not too much right that's why I Look to take a position off here right stop just to break below here and then my Targets in this case were down here right I was hoping that Nvidia would have continuation but as you can see right we did even have relative uh not that much relative weakness on Nvidia and it wasn't the greatest setup that's why I didn't really have too much follow through right so that's why I ended up just cutting it quick you can see AMD so QQ pushed down right off the gates AMD uh Nvidia right was a little bit slower Right comes back into this level that's where I got in right essentially off this retest level right which is this pre-market low which also coincided with this up close candle this order block very small displacement right that's why I had a very tight stop it needed to really work right in my favor right you can see really never had too much continuation that's why I ended up getting stopped out right it was trying to hold this level you can see it's trying to hold this level on the F minute time frame it was looking decent but it just never had continuation right you see on this five minute time frame where it came back into this order block right this F minute was looking good right it closed but then unfortunately the next five minute candle closure right ended up closing above it so that's where I end up getting stopped out for a very small loss on uh Tuesday for the Nidia wise I've asked this in the past but please describe again what you see in time frames and uh PA to want for an opening drive play right opening drive play is all about the higher time frames like where is most likely liquidity get a rest right what you want to look for on the opening drive plays is like potential Gap and goes there's different types of opening drive plays right there's the Gap there's the Gap fill opening drive play there's the Gap and go which is in the opposite direction there's the classic dip and rips there's the pop and drops right I'll talk about this more but you really have to look for right higher time frames is number one most important thing and then the second is uh uh essentially PA meaning like relative strength or relative weakness right price action and then you also want to have extreme relative strength or weakness right that's what you want to look for and I'll explain that more in uh I'll explain that more in potential another weekly Outlook right Wednesday uh let's go over the trades I took on Wednesday let's see I think it was right Tesla puts sorry yeah Tesla push towards the downside right a lot of the week on Tesla right it's the same setups I've been always trading but there's just no uh there's not that much follow through right because Tesla like a lot more difficult to trade this week let's go on this five and you'll see as well right A lot of the times uh my best trades come from one those A+ setups right you'll see a lot of the trades I took this week I was forcing a lot of the trades right no clear order block levels right as I mention in this case right on on Tuesday right I ended up capturing just this uh this popup on this short right on Tesla right I was looking for continuation towards the downside looking back on it it already swept key levels so if we go back here let's go on the replay function go on to the regular trading hours right so you can see right off the gates Tesla oops let's see right so you can see on Tesla on this day right so price po back up into Tesla came all the way back down right but in this case right it never took out this previous day low liquidity level so that's why I was interested in shorting uh Tesla towards the downside right so I wanted to short Tesla towards the downside I did not get the best entries on this one right it was essentially based off of this fair value Gap as I mentioned right the more Confluence is the better in this case there wasn't that much Confluence right it didn't even come back up and to test this order block all I was basically trading off of was just this fair value Gap right here right this imbalance so right not the highest quality trade but I had this uh stop right here just like a close above this order block and then I was looking for a flush below right I was looking for continuation below this previous day low level as you can see if we go back on to actually let's go back on to the extended TR hours right so this was my trade thesis on uh Tesla right right no order blocks right not there's a little bit of displacement because there's a fair value Gap right if we go on to the QQQ right we do have a little bit of relative weakness as you can see on this day on Wednesday right the QQQ is pushing down right Tesla is showing a little bit of relative weakness so that's why I went to short Tesla right but we did also have that news right at 10:00 so we had that news Factor at 10:00 it absolutely ended up end up launching Tesla once it hit low of day right I I never could have ended up scaling here um because it happened too quick on Tesla right my first profit Target would have been this low which was this previous day low right I wasn't able to scale here because it happened too quick and then I ended up getting reversed on very quickly first stop out right I was ended up being like up $1,000 to being down $1,000 really quickly right and I was on pretty small size as well right right unfortunate trade right not the best uh quality set up as I mentioned right we did have that relative weakness and we did have uh the higher time frames which was this key liquidity level being the previous day low but you can see as soon as it touched this level right ended up reversing and ended up getting stopped out uh that looks like a cup and handle yeah it's a after the fact right after this trade right this right here was a cup and handle but obviously on the higher time frames right you can go on to the five minute time frame right I like trading with momentum right so in this case right you could have played uh upside if you trade like that right you play against the higher time frames you could have traded this cup and handle on the one minute time frame you guys have any questions on that one no questions and then I'll go go on to uh the trades that I took um on Friday right fourth I took a loser as well very small loss I didn't I didn't alert it but I took a small loss on Thursday uh let's go on to the enq right Thursday L I'll go over yeah I'll go over one more trade on Thursday and then I'll call it a day right NQ right my trade thesis as I mentioned coming into this St the reason why I was bearish coming into this day was because right we had these clear relatively equal lows right we end up coming down into 830 a lot of times what happens is whenever you have these news events right and it leaves relatively equal lows like Market is eventually going to come back and take this key point of Interest liquidity level right I was essentially looking for a retest of this uh key levels for continuation towards the downside but obviously we just ended up going in back back inside uh yesterday's range right you see here on the 1 hour time frame oops right so what I wanted to see happen was right we had a big push down what I wanted to see happen was it come back into this area and then end up rejecting and heading lower right that was my thesis coming into this day that's why I was looking to short uh that's why I was looking to short uh uh the NQ right obviously right the price action was looking pretty strong on the 5 minute time frame I was looking for that one minute flip right right I was looking for the one minute flip uh to look to a short towards the downside right price was holding this level so far on the 1 hour time frame and I was waiting for essentially inversion of the fair value Gap so once we got this pop that's what gave me interest in looking for shorts towards the downside right so once it inversed this level I was looking for a short position right I was looking for a short position stop break above here and then first targets would have been this level and then second targets would have been this low right here you can see right little bit right off the gates right not too much fall through just came back into where essentially this 5minute order block right on the 5 minute time frame obviously you can see it ended up holding this area on the five minute time frame so that's why I ended up getting stopped out right end up holding this level I end up getting stopped out because I know I'm wrong right I'll accept the fact that I'm wrong like I'm not going to hold right that's why I have a stop loss and then you can see I ended up pushing towards upside so that's why I have a stop loss right so I end up taking a few losses on Friday that's where I end up being down $2,000 and down over 2 200 for the week I didn't take that trade because of the positive news bias yeah right I just had the bias Rong coming into this day right news Factor right the Market's eventually going to come back and take take out these levels but we did have a big push down on the q's right and essentially came back down for a 50 whenever we have such a big move right usually it does need a 50% retracement for continuation but I thought that we would have used these lows for a retest towards the downside right you can see the 1 hour was forming right it was forming decent right but then we ended up closing above it and now we're back inside this range right and that's kind of expected right because of the higher time frames right we are in a Range right so that's what makes it a little bit more difficult continuation wise right especially if you're trying to uh short the markets right and that's what happens right with my strategy I love trading momentum and you'll see right I always like uh using the higher time frames right and when we're in a when we're in consolidation essentially on the higher time frames right we're we're chop consolidation right my strategy doesn't work as well because I'm always looking for that next leg I'm always looking for that external liquidity right and a lot of the times right what I need what I trade the best is when I have Contin ation towards that next key levels and a lot of times right there is no continuation past previous low of day or previous high of day right A lot of times right we'll end up sweeping that level and then we'll end up reversing back inside the range so that's why the last week right been a a a little bit difficult for me because there's no continuation past those key levels and that's usually what I like to look for in my strategy this has been very helpful I like that you state your bias premarket and why I've always had issues with this I'll look forward to more of these yeah as you'll see in the I'll always uh especially in the weekly outlooks right I'll see I'll tell you guys what I'm looking at coming into this week and then whenever I'm uh whenever I'm on live at 9:15 I'll I'll form my buys coming into this morning coming into the morning what I'm looking at and then you guys will see it you can compare it to your thesis and then you guys can see it how it play out coming into the charts but yeah if you guys don't have any more questions right drop in the questions right now that was essentially it right the weekly uh trade review went over the trades um all the trades I took this week I had the the lesson on the order blocks let's see if you guys have any questions right it's almost two hours I can't believe I've been yapping for two hours how do you know when it it will be a gap or go or when I'll fill the Gap right majority of the times right when we're in consolidating markets you'll see that a lot of the times it will fill the Gap right 70 70% of the time um it will fill the Gap within a 48 hour period right the Gap and goes only occur when we're in a clear uh the Gap and goes only happen when we're in a clear Trend right when we're in a trend a lot of the times the gaps will be unfilled as you can see let's say on Nvidia right A lot of times right it'll leave a gaps like there'll be gaps and then the markets will just head towards the upside right the reason being is because let's go on the extend the regular trading hours right A lot of times whenever we have gaps right a lot of the gaps G will end up gravitating towards the upside right so we have a gap here but ends up gravitating towards the upside because we're in a very clear bullish Trend right there's a clear draw in liquidity right A lot of times the gaps will be left unfilled because we're in a clear uptrend right the the time the gaps be will be filled is when we're in consolidating chopping markets right uh in the past uh like half a year right I was always trading the Gap and goes right uh the reason I was trading always the Gap and go is was because the market was trending right so a lot of the times the gaps will stay unfilled but you can clearly see in the past month a lot of the times whenever we have gaps in the markets right A lot of the times the gaps will be filled because we're just chopping around right because the right if the gaps um there's two things right we'll either seek liquidity or we'll either rebalance price right so seeking liquidity means price is going to head towards external liquidity on the higher time frames where there'll be like let's say a double bottom in this case right this is essentially a double bottom right so this could be a clear draw in liquidity or price will look to rebalance price which is Gap levels so if the price is not looking to seek liquidity it's going to look to rebalance price and clearly when we're in chop and consolidating markets price is usually going to look to rebalance price because it's not looking to seek liquidity because we're in chopping markets so coming into right so coming into next week right A lot of times right I'm going to start looking for uh Gap fills right because um a lot of the times right whenever we have Gap up in in the markets right uh a lot of the times the markets will end up filling those gaps because because because there's that's the because there's an imbalance in the market right it's not going to look to seek all-time highs right it's not going to look to re it's not look it's not price is not going to look to seek alltime high so it's just going to look to rebalance price you can see a lot of these days right a lot of the gaps are getting filled you can see on QQQ a lot of times the gaps are getting filled and that's just reason being is because uh uh that's the imbalance in price and price is look going to look to rebalance those levels okay I just wanted to say thank you hope you
