Summarized Version

[00:39] This lecture is about moving from vision to execution by simplifying your process. In trading, it’s easy to become overloaded by everything you can use. The goal is not a kitchen-sink approach. Look for something with one, two, maybe three moving parts, and ideally focus on one market.

Casting a Price Vision

[02:46] As a trader, you’re constantly casting a vision over future price action: where these candles may go, where price came from, why it did what it did, and when the next meaningful movement may occur. You don’t control the outcome. You don’t know what the next candlestick will bring, whether price will reverse sharply or stagnate. But with experience, price action develops a rhythm and a pulse that you begin to recognize.

[04:15]* Imagine trying to get in sync with price without knowing where the market is likely drawing to. That’s why the first primary function in reading price action is knowing where price is likely to go. Where is it drawing to? Once you understand the likely draw, possible scenarios begin to organize themselves.*

[04:56] The mistake is reaching into the toolbox and trying to use everything at once: Commitment of Traders, seasonal tendencies, Judas swing, Model 2022, Silver Bullet, and everything else. Experienced traders aren’t necessarily trying to forecast the next two or three price runs. They’re focused on what price is likely to do right now.

[05:26] If there’s nothing to do, disengage. There’s no need for fear of missing out. If there is an opportunity, then you can cast forth a vision. What you think the market is trying to do and how it may get there—that’s the vision.

[06:00] Every trader is making some form of prediction. If you’re not forming an expectation about what price is likely to do, you’re gambling. The starting point is current market price and the draw on liquidity.

[07:51] When I was younger, I wanted to capture every possible position inside a large move—entering, adding repeatedly, and trying to milk the entire run. Eventually I realized it was better to pick my shots because losing money is never enjoyable.

[09:06] As a developing trader, bring your focus back to one thing: where is price likely to go next? If that isn’t clear, do nothing. That is liberating. There will be times when you simply don’t know.

First FVG After Displacement

[10:16] The main thing is understanding where the market is likely drawing to. Here we have Tuesday, December 23rd, 2025, on the one-minute chart at 9:54 a.m. From the 9:30 opening, price runs higher, creates a short-term high, rallies above it, produces a false break, then Turtle Soups back down into the initial run.

[11:03] That displacement below the swing low is significant. When price becomes jagged like this, I don’t need it to take out the relatively equal lows. I want to see the fair value gaps that form after meaningful events such as a Turtle Soup, major displacement, or a move that clearly stands out when the chart is zoomed out.

[11:49] Notice there is no fair value gap here until after price takes the high. This is the first presented fair value gap after Turtle Soup. The same concept can occur on the buy-side or the sell-side. So what we're looking for are standouts for fair value gaps.

[13:27] You do not need the Turtle Soup to become a complete market reversal. You need it to display these characteristics. The first fair value gap that forms after it should remain on your chart and be projected forward. For an up-to-date reference range, keep it for at least 20 trading days.

[14:08] By projecting that fair value gap forward, you already know in advance that it may become a viable future price level. Then you simply wait for time to intersect with that price. Start collecting these levels on your charts.

[14:42] This is one reason specializing in a single market is useful. You can maintain a workspace containing these reference points instead of constantly changing markets and losing track of where important arrays originated.

[15:12] Look for the first presented fair value gap after a Turtle Soup sell-off or after a sell-side liquidity raid that produces a run higher. Keep those levels available for future reference.

[16:17] Now think about the opposite side. Price rallies strongly into this area and then proves it does not want to remain there. It starts selling off as we approach the regular trading hours opening range. Between 9:30 and 10:00, we’re looking for the first presented fair value gap. That’s this one here.

[17:00] Price uses it here and here. Where is price drawing to? Before 9:30 even occurs, while price is dropping, I’m casting forth a vision. I’m waiting for a price run that produces a long, protracted down-close candle because I’m expecting price to work toward the overnight lows.

[18:13] Here we have relative equal lows overnight, so that is the sell-side liquidity. We also have the displacement and the first presented fair value gap after 9:30. Price uses that fair value gap here and here before entering more back-and-forth price action.

[19:16] Those overnight lows are the draw. So the vision is how price will traverse from this first resistance fair value gap down toward that sell-side liquidity. The first half of the move is fast and accelerated. Afterward, price begins moving back and forth while still working toward the overnight sell-side liquidity pool.

[19:50] Here we have a sell-side imbalance, buy-side inefficiency. The market creates the fair value gap when this candle closes. It trades back up into it, and we’re still anticipating lower prices. Price drops, returns, and trades to the low of the fair value gap. That is the first presented fair value gap. We do not abandon the expectation of price reaching for the overnight lows until price clearly proves that expectation wrong.

[20:28] Keep the vision of price reaching toward those relative equal overnight lows. Every candlestick has a role, but not every candlestick is equally important. Some candles are simply background price action. Others become significant because of where they form, when they form, and how subsequent price reacts to them.

[21:46] When price begins consolidating like this, I’m looking for the important candlesticks in the sequence. The plot is that price is moving toward the overnight sell-side liquidity.

Macro Timing and SIBI

[22:25] Now bring time into the analysis. We enter the 9:50 to 10:10 macro. Price returns to the first presented fair value gap. We anticipate that gap acting as a premium array and repelling price or at least preventing bodies from getting into its upper half. Here price barely reaches the low of it and rejects. Then it creates a SIBI.

[22:58] That SIBI becomes an important reference point. Now we want to see subsequent price confirm it. Price retraces to the halfway point of the SIBI—consequent encroachment—and then begins diving lower again.

[24:03] We also have two relative equal lows. The low on the right is slightly higher than the low on the left. That makes this a strong candidate for a sell-side liquidity raid. That is how your eye should begin identifying these structures.

[24:35] Contrast that with lows that are not relative equal lows. Those can eventually be taken, but often price first wants a deeper retracement toward a premium inefficiency or a nearby buy-side liquidity pool. Here price rallies toward the highs and cannot even return to the old fair value gap. It is simply consolidating.

[25:04] Everything you need is available through open, high, low, and close. What matters is waiting for the right time for those candles to perform, but first you need to know the plot. The plot is sell-side delivery, and the sell-side draw is determined by the overnight lows.

[25:52] Those overnight lows are the magnet. You’re casting forth a vision and waiting for specific candlesticks, at specific times, to confirm that storyline. During the macro, price trades to the low of the first presented fair value gap, then to consequent encroachment, and trades lower.

[26:32] There is a tiny fair value gap here, but it is not important because price has not even broken this low. If it had broken below that low, the gap would have become more salient. Because it didn’t, I treat it as a common gap.

Defining Range and Equilibrium

[27:02] After the run on minor sell-side liquidity, price retraces back into the range. How do we define the range? From the premium PD Array that price sold off from to the new sell-side low that was created before the retracement began.

[27:34] The upper boundary is the PD Array price sold from—the first presented fair value gap after 9:30. It is aligned with the narrative that sell-side liquidity is the draw. Price uses that fair value gap repeatedly and cannot reach the upper portion or consequent encroachment. That indicates weakness.

[28:06] So the range is defined by time and PD Arrays. Look at the midpoint of that range. There is significant price action around equilibrium, and inside that area we have an inefficiency—a SIBI. Extend that SIBI forward. Now we have a reference for how far the shallow run below minor sell-side liquidity may retrace.

[29:42] The bodies confirm that the story has not changed. The shallow sell-side raid creates the appearance that a short-term low has formed and price may rally, but the retracement only reaches the fair value gap around equilibrium inside this range. The broader sell-side narrative remains intact.

[30:12] Price later reaches back into that old SIBI. Why that particular one? Because it sits near equilibrium of the range defined by liquidity and the PD Arrays.

[31:23] These patterns will not always look identical, but the underlying functions are similar. Price is running for inefficiency, running for stops, or waiting during time distortion. After price reaches the old SIBI, it sells off and creates new minor sell-side liquidity.

[31:56] The bodies retrace to the high of the fair value gap, then remain near its lower quadrant. The wick nearly reaches the top, but the bodies stay in the lower half. That is a bearish signature indicating that price is preparing to continue lower.

[33:32] The final part of the move begins here. After leaving this gap, price creates another small gap, retraces into it, and the bodies cannot even reach its high. The wicks respect it. Price drops, reacts around consequent encroachment of it, and then moves sideways until we approach another macro period. At 10:50 to 11:10, expect displacement.

[34:17] Where is it likely to displace? Lower. What is the nearby sell-side liquidity? This low here. And what was the original draw in the vision? The overnight lows. Price then drives down through them.

[35:30] The narrative has not changed. We are in a range consolidation. This old SIBI becomes a reclaimed fair value gap, and price uses it. Notice that meaningful displacement lower begins as we enter the macro window. Price takes the nearby low and then clears the original overnight sell-side liquidity.

[36:45] This is how you develop the skill of reading price candle by candle. Build storylines from historical price runs and understand the underlying logic of each Smart Money Concept one piece at a time. You cannot develop this simply by memorizing isolated setups.

[38:48] Backtesting transfers into future prognostication because you learn to cast forth a vision of what price is permitted to do. If price is genuinely going to run for sell-side liquidity, ask yourself what behavior is reasonable and what behavior would invalidate that storyline. That is part of narrative.

[39:55] It comes back to knowing what price should do, what it should not do, when to expect movement, and when not to expect it. Time first, then price. Price is ultimately drawing toward liquidity or inefficiency: buy-side liquidity, sell-side liquidity, a premium inefficiency above price, or a discount inefficiency below price.

Afternoon Liquidity Objectives

[40:38] Now look at the afternoon. For newer traders, avoid trading between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. The lunch period can produce difficult, choppy conditions. Wait until 1:30 Eastern Time and then observe how price sets up the PM session. Price rallies toward the first presented fair value gap again.

[41:15] We also have minor sell-side liquidity here. These are high-probability relative equal lows because the lows to the right are slightly higher. We also have the regular trading hours AM-session low, which represents another pool of sell-side liquidity.

[41:56] If price sells off from here, the first objective is the nearer sell-side liquidity. If price breaks those lows with speed and elongated downside candlesticks, then the AM-session low becomes more likely to be reached. That is also why partials matter.

[42:24] Those minor sell side relatively equal lows are logical places to take partial profits if you’re short from above. This is an inversion fair value gap because it comes from the final major upside displacement before price reaches a premium array and rotates lower. That is effectively a Model 2022 structure on a very small time frame, with the first fair value gap after the rotation.

[43:35] Price drops aggressively, clears the nearby low, and then clears the regular trading hours AM-session low. Along the way, an inversion fair value gap is used around consequent encroachment, another fair value gap is respected, then price consolidates and breaks lower into the close.

[44:21] Why did price rally into this area and then sell off? You cannot answer that properly by looking only at the one-minute, five-minute, fifteen-minute, or one-hour chart. You need top-down analysis, and at minimum you need to consult the daily chart.

Daily Suspension Block Context

[45:00] On the daily chart, we have another PD Array: the suspension block. Normally someone might define the inefficiency from this candle’s low to that candle’s high, but the actual inefficiency I’m framing here is between the volume imbalance below and the volume imbalance above.

[45:46] It is framed by this candlestick’s open and that candlestick’s close. That is the ICT suspension block, another form of buy-side imbalance, sell-side inefficiency. It is not a liquidity void. A liquidity void is an actual gap where no trading occurred.

[46:25] Bring that daily information back onto the intraday chart. Price trades lower, cannot even reach upper quadrant of the suspension block, consolidates, and then retraces back toward the first presented fair value gap. That retracement also reaches the high of the daily suspension block. The daily suspension block is a premium array. If the higher-time-frame condition is bearish, that premium array can send price lower.

[46:57] So cast forth the vision. Where is price now? What is it permitted to do? Is price trading into the upper half of an inefficiency above it while remaining bearish, or is it only respecting the lower half? If it cannot penetrate deeply into the premium array, that indicates weakness and supports lower prices.

[47:58] Submit to the process slowly. Take notes. Review yesterday, last week, and older price action. At 1:30, price creates the run into the top of the daily suspension block. That small intraday movement is simply price trading into a higher-time-frame premium array before going lower.

[48:42] On the daily chart, we can also grade the suspension block. The upper quadrant is a reasonable objective. Once price reaches it and slices through, the next logical reference becomes consequent encroachment, the midpoint of the range. Price then works toward that midpoint, falling just short of it.

[50:53] Forcing setups usually means boredom, impatience, or abandoning your model. If there is no plug-and-play structure in price action—something you have seen before and understand—there is no reason to participate. If I cannot read what price is doing candle by candle, I step back. I’m not interested.

[51:49]*** I use the pre-market hours, particularly 7:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time, to determine whether I am in rhythm with price. If I’m reading the fluctuations well during pre-market, I have greater confidence going into the opening range. If I’m not, I may wait until around 10:00 and allow the first 30 minutes to trade first.***

[52:52] In this example, pre-market price ran straight into an old December 23rd displacement fair value gap formed after a Turtle Soup. That context matters.

[53:26] This is why the concept of first presentation is important. There is logic behind why certain fair value gaps matter more than others. The first presented fair value gap after a meaningful event repeatedly provides important future reference points.

[54:06] The goal is to simplify the process: establish the draw, identify the important PD Arrays, understand the time component, and then wait for price to confirm the narrative.

[00:03] Hello folks, welcome back and Happy New Year. Well, you finally made it to 2026. Now what are you gonna do with yourself? All right, so I'm going to talk a little bit and it's gonna have to be short tonight, okay, because I have things I have to take care of. And I have a lot of things each day on my schedule, so I don't know when I'm going to get to the next installment, but I will be back to live streaming on February 10th of this year, so that way you know what's going on.

[00:39] Uh, the first book will drop in June of 2026. I will give you information on the website so that way you can get your hot little hands on that if you want it. Don't buy it, by the way. So today is January 1st, 2026, and this lecture is going to be referring to From Vision to Execution: Simplifying Your Process. Now obviously a lot could be said about simplifying things, not only from my own life's work but from trading in general. And we get inundated a lot with what we can and can't do, what we should and shouldn't do, who should we listen to, who we should not listen to.

[01:21] What's hot right now, what's not, that type of thing. And I have been obviously, um, centerfold really for a lot of that discussion over the years. You know, it's too much information, it's overload, it's complication. It's not complicated, okay? And but I understand if someone looks at the entire compendium and thinks to yourself, wow, like, where do I begin? What do I do? You know, it's, it's too many things. And I'm going to try to talk to you with inspiration tonight so that way you can go towards, you know, pressing into this idea of finding your way with my concepts, making it yours, making it something that is easy, something that's not overdone, if you will.

[02:15] Okay, we're not trying to look for a kitchen sink approach. We're looking for something that has, you know, 1 or 2, maybe 3 moving parts, and at most, uh, 1 market. And if you can do that, I believe that you'll have a greater advantage over than, say, someone that wants to try to go through my content or use another school of thought and trading and try to apply everything that's available. I think that's a problem. I made that same problem when I was a new startup when I was 20 years old, which is a long time ago, by the way, folks.

[02:46] But, uh, let's get into it. I could go on and on and have a big monologue, but I know most of you are already getting bored. So I want you to think about how many times— you may not realize it or not, but think about it— you as a speculator, you as a trader, you as a developing student of the markets. You're effectively trying to cast a vision over the future, the future of these individual candlesticks, where they're going to go, where they came from, why they did what they did, and why and what time they're going to do what you're hoping will yield in terms of profit.

[03:32] You don't have control of the outcome. You don't know what the next candlestick is going to bring. You don't know if there's going to be a sharp reversal. You don't know if the price is going to stagnate. And those are uncertainties. But for the ones that's been here for a long time and have found their groove, if you will, these charts tend to have a rhythm. Has a pattern, a pulse that you can tap into, and it's kind of like a knack. And I just chalk it up as experience because you get a feel for what it's trying to do.

[04:15] Now imagine not knowing where the market's trying to go to and how hard it would be to get in sync or in rhythm with price action. It'd be next to impossible, which is the reason why I teach the first primary function of learning how to read price action is to know where it's likely to go to. Where is it drawing to? And once you have an understanding of what it might be reaching for, then all these scenarios will start flooding your mind. Now, as a new trader, a new student, someone that sees all these things that I've made available to you, and you think, wow, I'm going to reach into the toolbox, I'm going to use everything today.

[04:56] I'm going to use Commitment of Traders, I'm going to put a seasonal tendency in there, I'm going to look for that Judas swing, I'm going to wait for the Model 22 to form, and heck, I might even go in there and do a Silver Bullet or 2 just for added pleasure. Well, truth be told, my veteran students that have been pulling millions out of the market, they have adopted a mindset that they're not trying to figure out what the next 2 or 3 price runs are going to be.

[05:26] They're just looking at price right now, and they want to know what is it likely to do at the very moment. If there's nothing to do, it frees their mind up, and there's no worry, there's no concern, there's no fear of missing out. It's just simply, there's nothing for me to do right now, so I'm going to disengage and relax. Now, experience will dictate whether or not there's an opportunity. If there's an opportunity, then you can cast forth a vision. What you think the market's trying to do, how it will get there, is the vision.

[06:00] Now, you may or may not realize it, but that's what every trader does. And I find it amusing when they say your job as a trader is not to try to predict the market. What do you think you're doing? What do you call what you're doing? Otherwise, if you're not doing that, you're gambling. I mean, there's no way around it, you're gambling. So I want you to think about how casting a vision, what you think price is going to do from the moment you're looking at, which is market price.

[06:35] Where is it going? That's to draw on liquidity. Now, the experience factor separates those without it from those that have it at this juncture in the conversation. It will be frustrating for some of you that are brand new. It will feel like it's disjointed. It will feel like there's something being held back or it's a waste of your time. As soon as you start feeling that way, if you're brand new or if you're relatively new to my stuff, turn the video off, make a note of it in your journal that you'll come back to it with 3 months experience, and then come back in 3 months and watch this.

[07:15] If it doesn't feel like it's resonating with you then, come back in 6 months. Okay, I promise you, inside of 6 months, if you're doing everything I've taught on this channel, it will make much more sense to you then. But it's normal for you not to feel like it makes sense when you're first looking at it, because your assumptions are you watched a video, so therefore you must know. And that's not how this works. So let's consider the NASDAQ here. And obviously, if you're looking at price like this and you're new, a neophyte's perspective on this is, wow, that's a big drop.

[07:51] If I could only have seen that coming. Or others may have seen, wow, this is a pretty nice run-up. I wish I could have went long there and got out before it reversed. When I was younger, I was thinking, I wish I could get in there and take every single position available and add, going along here, adding here, adding here, adding here, adding here, adding here, adding here, and then eventually getting stopped out. And treat this as a mega trade where you just milk it and take, take the majority of it off.

[08:27] And then I went into speculating with larger amounts of money, larger risk, and I started thinking to myself, it's better for me to pick my shots because losing money is never fun. But when you're losing more times than you are winning, even if you are profitable as a new trader, it feels counter intuitive. It sounds— it feels like you just not doing the right thing despite making money. And the idea that enters your mind is that you somehow are just getting lucky, and eventually the inevitable is going to happen.

[09:06] You're going to go into a tailspin, go on tilt, and blow the account. And as a 20-year-old, I did that a lot. And as a new trader, you're going to do that a lot too until you wrestle yourself And start bringing your focus back to casting forth a vision. That means knowing where the price is likely to go next. And if that's not clear, you do nothing. You do nothing. And it's very liberating when you can accept the fact that there's going to be times when you're not going to know.

[09:35] That's the reason why I stopped trading around the holidays, because it gets very thin. The markets tend to be a little unruly, like spoiled brats. They'll run farther than you want them to when you don't expect them to, and it feels like guesswork sometimes. Not all the time, but sometimes. And I demand the market to be Swiss precision level delivery, or I'm not engaging. Now, for someone that doesn't understand what that means, it sounds like, well, you know, that's very narcissistic. Like, you know I, I do know, and you can learn how to do this as well.

[10:16] You'll be able to pick up on the rhythm and you'll know when you should and shouldn't. But the main thing is you have to first start by understanding where the market's likely to draw to first. So I'm gonna show you this here. This is Tuesday, December 23rd, 2025. 1-minute candlestick at 9:54 AM. Now why am I picking that one? Well, what you're looking at is a pair block run right out from Jump Street. So that 9:30 in the morning, they just ran it straight from there, created a short-term high, rallied above it, false break above that, and turtle souped it right back down into the initial run.

[11:03] That shift right there below the swing low in here, that displacement is significant. Go back over your NASDAQ chart and you'll see that this short-term run here stands out on your chart. So when I'm looking at price action where price has been made jagged like it does here, I don't need it to take out that low. I just need to show me these types of fair value gaps. So when they stand out in price action where price has had a turtle soup, a major displacement, or it just leaps out at the chart— zooming out, not zooming in tighter, okay?

[11:49] By zooming out, you'll be able— your eye will jump right to these types of swing highs and swing lows. And when these runs are occurring, there's lots of manipulation in that, and you're going to be best served by going in and looking for these types of imbalances when they first form. Notice there's no fair value gap here until that— after it took that high. So this PD array is first presented fair value gap after Turtle Soup. Now this can be done on the buy side, this is a sell side.

[12:24] So what we're looking for are standouts for fair value gaps. And it's a lot of times you, you've probably seen it when I allow people to leave comments, and it's a love fest in these things on YouTube most of the time. But usually I'll have 3 or 4 guys come in here and try to be a clown and whatever. You're welcome to your opinion, but I'm not providing a stage for that type of stuff. But the comments that come up a lot are, why did I pick that fair value gap in that respective video they were commenting on?

[12:55] And over the years, obviously you're seeing now there's a rhyme and reason to what I'm doing. And it's a slow drip, slowly, you know, disseminating the information, because there's a lot of people out there repackaging my stuff. I'm not repackaging anything else, but that's the excuse that, you know, they're trying to put out there, that I'm repackaging something else, and it's simply not the case. I want you to think about how what I just said about here, when you have a turtle soup sell-off, buy side taken, it starts to sell off.

[13:27] You don't need this to be a market reversal, you just need it to show these types of characteristics. The first fair value gap that forms after that, keep that on your chart, project that forward. Think about the up-to-date ranges. What's the lowest one? 20 days. Keep it on your chart for 20 days. That's why this is still valuable to me. Now, by projecting that forward in the future, I'm already ahead of the curve, and I knew this level is going to be important well before your volume profile is populated on your chart, well before your Elliott Wave stuff shows up on your chart.

[14:08] I'm in the future right here. I already know this is going to be a viable level in the future. Now I just simply have to wait for time to agree and meet with that price. What does that look like? Well, that's the high of that run. You're cherry-picking this guy. If that's how you think, move along. It's okay. It's not my aim to try to convince all of you. Okay, but that's what that level is, and I want you to start collecting them on your charts.

[14:42] This is why having one market and being a specialist is important, because when you ask me what do I have written down on my little notepad— you know, the little notepad I keep next to me— it's things like this. And because there are some things on there that I don't want to teach yet, I know thousands of questions will pop up as soon as I show you it. And I'll frustrate you because I won't answer it. I'll ignore it. I'll put you to the side and disregard your comment.

[15:12] And it's meant to manage the information before I release it in book format. Okay, so it's simply allowing you to understand for free here. So now you don't need to worry about that in the book. It didn't cost you anything. You're just watching it for free here. But you're looking for the first presented fair value gap after a turtle soup sell-off. Or sell-side liquidity raid and runs higher. So having these on your chart, again, you can collect these in a workspace on TradingView or whatever your platform is, or you can be old school like me and I just simply write it down.

[15:50] Now that might not be helpful to some of you because you're high-tech, you want to see it push a button, it populates on your chart and it does everything for you automatically. And I, I just— I can see the advantages of doing something like that, but I just like to know why I'm using it, where it came from. I have my hands on it. So I prefer the high touch over high tech, and that's the old dinosaur in me. I'm an old head when it comes to things like that.

[16:17] I'm never going to change. I'm too— I'm too far gone in the game, and I don't have as many years behind me as I, you know, or ahead of me that I said to do behind me. So I have to be, uh, Be realistic about things, right? So that's the, the market reaction there. Now right away you should know the opposite of that. It was a nice little rally all the way up in here, and overnight here's your lows. So cast forth a vision. If it's running quickly up to that level and it proves to you it doesn't want to stay there It starts to sell off, and then we're entering the time of day when we're looking for the opening range— 9:30 in the morning Eastern Time to 10 o'clock.

[17:00] We're looking for that first presented fair value gap. That's that right there. Now right away you can see it's using it here and here. And where do you think it's drawing to? Before this even formed, before 9:30 even happened, While it's dropping down, in your mind you're going to cast forth a vision. This is what I do. I'm looking at the market and I'm casting forth a vision. I'm waiting for a price run that creates a long protracted down close candle. I'm waiting for that to form.

[17:36] I'm anticipating that to form because I know all of this reaction from this run here is likely to see us go all the way back down to take overnight lows. That's the draw. Now, the easiest way for you to have this on your chart or a routine is overnight lows. Just simply mark off midnight Eastern time to 7 o'clock in the morning. Whatever the lowest low there is, if it's relative equal lows, that's a loaded deal. That's where liquidity is. It's going to want to seek that if it's bearish.

[18:13] Not all the time, not that very day, but that's how I classify it. I'm looking for that lowest low overnight. In this case, we can see it being here. So that's a relative equal low. So you can see that that's obviously a standout. That's your sell-side liquidity. We have the displacement here, so that's the first presented fair value gap after 9:30. And the market uses it here and here, and then we start getting into this back and forth type price action. This is classic of the holiday season.

[18:49] Again, another reason why I'm not a fan of trading around this time. I'd rather spend the time with my family. And by the way, I hope you had a very nice Christmas. Mine was wonderful. I hope you had a safe New Year's. Hope you're not hungover right now listening to this. You should learn from that. Don't do it again. But in here, we're going to take a look at this. We're going to zoom in and deal a little bit more with this. But I want you to think about that level right there being these lows.

[19:16] That's the draw. So I'm casting forth a vision, or you would be casting forth a vision, on how price would traverse from this first resistance fair value gap down to that low when the majority of the run was accelerated. So half that run was real quick and sudden. And now it's a lot of give and take back and forth, reaching down into that sell-side liquidity pool overnight. So we're going to focus in on that little area right there, and we're zooming in. All right, look at this guy looking at you.

[19:50] Yeah, I know, you got to keep your eye on them. Sell-side imbalance, buy-side inefficiency. The market creates the fair value gap when this candle closes. It trades up into it here, and We're anticipating price reaching lower. The market drops down, comes right back up, trades to the low of the fair value gap. That's the first presented fair value gap. We do not abandon the idea it's reaching for overnight lows. You cast that vision forward on the chart. You're expecting it's going to deliver until you're proven wrong and it's obvious.

[20:28] You keep that vision in mind, how it's reaching towards that relative equal low overnight. Every single candlestick has its place, it has its role in the plot, but not every single candlestick is a supporting actor, and it's not a leading man or a leading woman in the plot. That's the difference between what I see other people do with supply and demand, and they say that I use supply and demand, renamed it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, that's not, that's not what this is. I'm going to show you a lot of things here tonight, and it's going to look different in the future when you start thinking this way.

[21:09] When you're watching price action, it's going to help you. If you're brand new, it's not going to be as helpful because you just don't have the experience having worked with the things I've been teaching for years. But the more veteran students will get more out of this lecture than someone that's new. And it's, it's not by design. It's just that's how it is, okay? You don't know how to do everything the first time you sit down and watch it. So the market creates this run-up and then starts to slowly work lower, then gyrate sideways, moves a little bit lower, gyrate sideways, and starts looking like a very frustrating type of profile.

[21:46] Not volume profile, not the market profile that you guys are thinking of. It's simply how price is being held in consolidation. So when I see price doing this, I'm going to look for leading men or leading women candlesticks in the plot. The plot is this booger is going down to take those overnight lows out. Now every one of these candlesticks in here is just like, so, you know, just an extra in the cast. They're not even getting paid to be there. They're just happy to be a part of it.

[22:25] And that's what's being shown here with all these different kind of candlesticks. But what I'm looking for is I'm looking for the candlesticks to have the time in the plot to start pulling forth their best acting. They're going to bring out an Oscar-winning performance. Well, we're going to bring in time now. 9:50 to 10:10 macro. You're familiar with that if you've been watching anything I've been teaching. The market creates this return back into the first presented fair value gap. We anticipate this acting as a premium array.

[22:58] It should repel price or keep it from going in the upper half. Here it just comes up just breezes to the low of it and then says, no, no, I'm not interested, no thanks. And then what does it create here? What's that? That's a SIBI. So now that is a leading man or a leading woman candlestick. It's going to be impactful. So now we want a supporting actor or candle to come up and show how great of an candlestick this is by it coming up to half of its range.

[23:34] You see that? I know this analogy is— yeah, it just came to me, honestly. I don't have it written out. It literally sounds amazing for me. If I was listening to this, I would be very, very impressed. I know I gotta throw these dad jokes in all the time. So here we have the consequent encroachment of the SIBI, and then we start to see the price diving lower again. But now look closely. We're zoomed in, we got a little bit more data on the price action, and we have 2 relative equal lows.

[24:03] What makes them relative equal? The one to the right is slightly higher than the one to the left. So this is a strong candidate for a raid on that sell side algorithmically. That's how your eye is supposed to identify it, okay? It's less likely to see that immediate run— like, for instance, say we were looking at this low and that low. This is not a relative equal low. It's not a high probability. It can eventually trade through it, but not without at least retracing back for an inefficiency above the low.

[24:35] In other words, something going back to the left, either an inefficiency or a short-term high. That's why I'm teaching you and have taught you for years to look for the low to have the slightly higher low to the right. If it looks like this chances are it's going to have a deeper retracement. It wants inefficiency premium, or it wants a buy-side liquidity pool. Price runs up into these lows— I'm sorry, these highs— and fails to even get back to this old fair value gap. So it's just consolidating.

[25:04] Now here is— there's a paradigm shift that takes place when you're seeing price action doing these types of things. You're looking at all these gimmicky things like Footprint, depth of market, Level 2 data, volume profile, whatever it is you want to, you know, reach for, you know, Bookmap, heatmap, whatever map, it doesn't matter, okay? Everything is available in these open, high, low, and close candlesticks. Everything's there. But what you're waiting for is the time for them to perform. But you have to know the plot. The plot is it's running for sell side, and the sell side's determined by overnight lows.

[25:52] So those lows are like that big magnet, and you're casting forth a vision that you're looking for this plot to pan out with Oscar-winning performances by very specific candlesticks at very specific times. In the storytelling. During the macro, trades up to the low of the fair value gap. That's first presented fair value gap. And that was my dishwasher, in case you heard it. I'm not going to edit that out because it proves I'm not AI. Or am I? Price trades up to consequent encroachment. During the same macro, it trades lower.

[26:32] No fair value gap in here except for this little tiny piece right there, which is Like nothing. It's like an extra in the cast. Why is this not so important? Because we haven't even broken this low. So that right there is not important to me. If this would have broken down below that, then that would have been much more salient to the plot. But because it hasn't even taken that low out, that fair value gap is just a common gap. Why don't you use this fair value gap, ICT?

[27:02] See how it's starting to make sense now? Not for you newer folks because you're learning, but the folks have been around for a long time, like, oh, this is starting to make sense. See that? No extra charge either. So we had the run on minor sell-side liquidity there, and then we retraced back up into the range. Range— what's the range? See that price action right there? From the premium array it reacted to, to the new sell-side low that that was taken right here that created that low and then started retracing.

[27:34] That is how you're defining your range. What? Let me say it. Let me say it again. The PD Array that it sold off from— my content, my concept— that turning point, because that's not, it's not support and resistance. What is that? It's the first presented fair value gap that formed after 9:30. And it's in the direction that the plot is, sell side is going to be the target, it's going to be the draw. So we want to see this used like it does it here— sell off, sell off.

[28:06] And because it can't even get into the upper portion or even trade back to the consequent encroachment of that first presented fair value gap, it's exceedingly weak. So all this in here is making it harder for someone that doesn't understand that. So the range is this Right there. Now think for a moment, for you folks that like to use volume profile, you like to look for that point of control, value area high, value area low, and look at all that, and look at this. Okay, when I'm looking at this range here, it's defined simply by time and my PD arrays.

[28:49] There's no overlap here with volume profile. There's no overlap with anything else but what I'm showing you here. Look at the midpoint. See that right there? There's a lot of price action being offered in that same range. That equilibrium price point has to have an inefficiency inside that range. We can see— there you go. What's that? That's a SIBI. If I take that SIBI and extend it through, look at the magic that happens. See that? Ain't that amazing? No advantage, like I said. So by having this— I'm going to take that little range box off— we can anticipate how far that shallow run below that minor sell side is going to trade right back up.

[29:42] And the bodies are saying, yeah, the story is still the same. All this was was a plot twist, and it's causing people that don't know what they're doing to think that it's made a short-term low and it's going to rally up. But it's only going to go up to where I say it's going to go with this fair value gap. That's the equilibrium inside of this range during time distortion. That's a lot, but but the veteran students knows exactly what that implies. But now you're learning how to use it.

[30:12] We enter another time period where price reaches up into that old SIBI, and because I'm not trading supply and demand as the folks out there use it, I'm cutting through candles. I'm going back to that one. Why did I choose that one? Because it's in the middle of the equilibrium of that range high and low defined by liquidity and my PD arrays. See how that is? Now I can see right away, for someone that's brand new, this is just too much and it's complicated. And how could you possibly know?

[30:52] Because you haven't watched price action. You don't collect the price action and go over your chart and do these types of things when you backtest. The ideal scenario is for you to go back through price action because you have the benefit of hindsight. You can look at how price moved from one level to the next, but you want to go through every single individual candlestick and make a storyline of why it did this and why it didn't do that. And you're going to see these recurring phenomenon that take place in price action, they will repeat in the future.

[31:23] These types of things repeat over and over and over again. They may be slightly different They may have a little bit of a character twist over here and there, but generally they're doing the same thing. They're running for inefficiency, they're running for stops, that's it. Or they're waiting during time distortion. That's what you're seeing right here. New minor sell-side liquidity. After reaching up into that, it sells off. Now the bodies come up to the high of that fair value gap. There, and then we leave it.

[31:56] And look at the bodies, they stay right at the lower quadrant of it. It's not highlighted, but you can do this on your own chart. The wick goes almost to the top, but the bodies stay in the lower half. That's the signature that you know it's getting ready to start falling. When I'm doing live candle-by-candle calls, when I was doing it on X, and before X was X, I did it on Twitter, and before I did that, I did it in livestream, and I did it in front of a paid premium legion of people that watch me do this stuff.

[32:27] And it's not something I just learned overnight. I've been doing it for a long, long time. And my students that have been with me for a long time, they're learning how to do it themselves too. And it's a transferable skill set. But these are characteristics that repeat over and over and over again that you will learn by listening, taking notes, and then looking for these things in your old data. And then collecting them. Don't think just because you can't make money on that past move it's not of any use to you, because that's how you're going to learn it.

[32:58] There's no other way to learn it. There's no shortcut. You have to backtest. If you don't want to backtest, go do something else. Go follow somebody that wants to give signals. If they're a good trader, you go for it, you know. But I don't think— I don't think it's possible for anyone to learn how to trade without backtesting. I just don't think it's possible. Not consistently profitable. I don't think that's possible. Okay, so the minor sell side is taken here, and I want you to take a look how price resumed in again here but moved over so you can see the ending run.

[33:32] This dive down in here, this last little piece of the run that takes us down into that overnight low. We had this small little gap after leaving this one. It comes up, trades into it. The bodies don't even come to the high of it. The wicks respect it. We drop down, consequent encroachment on that wick, and then we start to move lower. And we're going sideways, sideways, sideways until we get to a macro time that's not highlighted here. You do it on your chart. At 10:50 to 11:10, it's going to displace.

[34:17] Where's it going to displace? First run is here. So you cast forth a vision, time for the market to run where? Lower. What's the nearby sell side? There. Where's it been drawing to? And where's the original vision that you cast forth over the chart? Overnight lows. It dies down. You have long stretched out black limousines running down to the 654 club below that low. When you see price action through this lens of creating a narrative, a plot, why it should do this, why it shouldn't do that, what candles are standing out?

[34:54] They're leading men or leading women candlesticks in the storyline. They're going to have a major role, and the candles that use them later on like this over here. These are supporting actors. The supporting actor is saying, yes, this person— if it were a person, we're going to personify the candlestick— this actress is falling apart, and we're going to show that she's falling apart because we can't overtake the high of that, and we're stopping right in the middle with the bodies. And then we have more supporting actors over here with these candlesticks only going up to half of it.

[35:30] So the plot's not changed. They didn't change the algorithm. Everything's the same, just the date's different. That's it. That's all it is. This here is the same thing that is. We're in a range consolidation. This old SIBI is a reclaimed fair value gap. It's being utilized here, but notice it only starts to displace lower when we enter the macro time. That supposedly doesn't exist. I see your comments, guys, and they're very amusing too, by the way. We run lower to take that low, and then we take that original overnight sell side out there.

[36:11] But wait, there's more. If we look at the overall run now, all this price action in here, this is how I use narrative, and then I talk about how the candles shouldn't and should do When I'm doing live streams, when I've done this in Telegram when I was running that, I did all these types of things to prove that I could call the candlesticks before they formed, how they were going to form. Watch this candlestick, watch that candle. What I'm outlining here is that skill set, how you adopt it.

[36:45] How do you learn how to do it like I do it? You have to create these little storylines in old price runs, and by understanding the primary factors of what makes my Smart Money Concepts what they are, that logic behind them, one piece of the puzzle at a time. You cannot learn this quick. 5-minute trainer mentors out there, isn't it— isn't going to do it for you. It may feel like you're learning because you're being entertained. They're taking pieces of my videos, it's the, you know, the, the real good stuff.

[37:17] That's not going to help you because you have to have all the supporting logic around why it's beneficial even know it. For instance, if I were to show you a deck of cards in my hands and I fan the cards out and I say pick a card, and you reach in, you take a card out, you think, you think you have a free choice. You have no idea that I forced that card on you. I know that you have the ace of spades in your hands.

[37:42] You think you freely chose that card. Now, by me having that force on you, I know the outcome of the the effect or trick. You don't know the outcome of using that little piece of information that's being forced on you. You don't know the logic. You don't have— you don't know how the trick ends. You don't know the, the place that little nugget of information goes in the grand scheme of things, which is My Smart Money Concepts. But when you watch all these little shorts and all these little channels that are popping up, it's wonderful advertising for mine.

[38:15] I don't need to do anything. But it's not helping anyone by just simply looking at these little snippets, because you have to have the supporting logic as to why. Why is it information that's useful? Is it useful information when you just simply look at small little pieces of the puzzle in and of themselves, by themselves? They're, they're not worth much at all except for, here, well, look at that, that's a— something to it. What do you do with it, right? That's where all the long drawn-out droning conversation takes place, like this video here.

[38:48] This is something that would kill most people trading, but I'm explaining it to you in a manner where you can still see the value in learning how to do this on your own as backtesting, which will transfer into future prognostication because you'll learn to cast forth a vision on what is permissible for price. If it really is going to go down there and take that sell side out, what is reasonable for price to do this or not that? What limitations would you place on it if you controlled price?

[39:21] This is all part of narrative. Narrative trumps market structure. See all these people that say market structure, that's the thing? It's not. No, it's not. Because what you don't realize because you don't believe there's an algorithm is there's a thing called time distortion. And time distortion can screw up current market structure, and then these moves will jump out of nowhere, like, where'd that come from, right? And you'll see them complaining on social media, oh, the chop is real, I don't know what's going on, you can't trade this mess.

[39:55] And I'm in here doing it, my students are in here doing it, and you can do it too. It's simply knowing what you're doing, knowing what not to do, when not to expect something, when to expect it. And it's all a derivative of time first. Time, then price. Time, then price. But it's always drawing to one of two things: sell side or buy side liquidity, or it's running for a premium inefficiency above price or inefficiency below price. That's the only things that can happen, folks, unless a geopolitical event comes out and the market takes off, and then there it is.

[40:38] So let's look at the afternoon. Now I teach don't trade between 11:30 in the morning to 1:30 in the afternoon if you're brand new because you're gonna get chopped up. That Lunch macro is sneaky. If you don't know what you're doing, it can hurt you. So the way you avoid it is simply don't do anything. Wait till 1:30 in the afternoon Eastern Time, come back to your charts and watch how price sets up the PM session. Well, wouldn't you know it, market rallies up, approaches what?

[41:15] First presented fair value gap again, and something else we'll look at in a minute. That's foreshadowing. ICT version. Why are you whispering, dude? You're creepy. Right in here you can see we have minor sell side. It's high probability relative equal lows. Why? Because the lows to the right of that one are slightly higher. We have an old low of the day formed at AM session, so you have AM session lows during regular trading hours. So that's regular trading hours, AM session low, sell side. You don't have to be all this wordy, but for teaching purposes, I'm differentiating it so that way you know.

[41:56] I always give a textbook response to people when they ask me questions because I want you to know it the right way. I want you to learn it properly. The market sells off from here. Where should it sell off to? Sell side here. And then you want to see speed If it can get below these lows, if it can speed up and start having elongated candlesticks to the downside, then you know it's likely to do what? Reach for that sell side there. So that's the reason why I teach partials.

[42:24] There's a lot of people out there say don't take partials, you shouldn't do partials. Okay, are you rich? Are you retired? Because if you're not, don't give advice. So these lows here are perfect partials, perfect candidates to take a partial if you're shorting up here. This is an inversion fair value gap because it's the last major displacement on the upside before it hits a premium array and then it folds over. That right there is your Model 2022, just on a very small time frame. And it's the first fair value gap after the rotation over.

[43:00] That right there, it's all things I've taught on this channel. It's not, it's not new teachings here. It's my old stuff being presented in a way where it helps you build a narrative, because that's what casting forth a vision is. Read Habakkuk chapter 2, verse 2 and 3, and it's very much applicable to what you do as a trader using any methodology. If it's a method that has value, those 2 verses, they're wonderful. And in fact, they were the inspiration for me to talk to you about this today.

[43:35] So the market drops aggressively after taking that low out and then clears the AM session regular trading hours low and just dives lower moving forward and offering the remainder of the day. You can see inversion fair value gap, uses the consequent encroachment there, sells off. Fair value gap there, use that, sell it off. Consolidation. John Murphy would love to see this highlighted on social media. It's a perfect bearish pennant. They occur sometimes, you know, sometimes they're there, breaks lower and then just fizzles out into the low going into the close of the day.

[44:21] Now, why did this run up here like that? And then sell off. What makes that happen? And if you're looking at just simply 1-minute charts or 5-minute charts or 15-minute charts or 1-hour charts, you're not going to get what you need. You have to have a proper top-down analysis, and you have to at least consider the daily chart. If you aren't at least conferring with the daily chart in your trading, you are trading blind. I don't care if you're making money. I don't care if you're getting hot hands in, you know, the last few weeks or months or whatever.

[45:00] If you're not looking at a daily chart, eventually the inevitable is going to come, and it's going to come collect your head, and your account will be, you know, collateral damage. So how, how will we use that information? What are we looking for? Oh, here's the daily chart. And I just recently in 2025 released another PD Array. It's the suspension block. It's an inefficiency. Now normally folks would look at this candlestick's low to that candlestick's high and say that that's, that's an inefficiency. Well, yes, there's an inefficiency there, yes, but the real inefficiency is framed by the volume imbalance down here and that volume imbalance there.

[45:46] So this candlestick's open and that candlestick's close. That's what's being shown here. So this candle's what's being highlighted. It's the ICT suspension block. It's another form of buy-side imbalance, sell-side inefficiency. It is not— underscore— not a quote-unquote liquidity void, okay? A liquidity void is when there's no trading at all. That's an actual gap. There's no buying and selling in there. That's a liquidity void. There's been no liquidity offered at all. That's the only void that exists in price. So there's your suspension block. Okay, now by having this information on your chart, let's go back down into that same chart.

[46:25] Wow, what you're saying, ICT, is the market went down, couldn't even get to the lower upper quadrant of it, and consolidated, and then it retraced right back up towards the first presented fair value gap, and it's the high of that suspension block on the daily chart. That's a premium array. What do you think a premium array on a daily chart is going to do to price if it's bearish? Send it lower. Do you think it went lower off of that? Sure it did. But a lot of you probably were caught off guard because you're not looking for things on the daily chart.

[46:57] You're looking at 1-minute, you know, charts and 15-second charts and 5-second charts, 1-second chart, little squiggly patterns, trying to come up with something, trying to invent something. Instead of just simply using this stuff that's been handed to you for free. Cast forth a vision. Where's price at now? What is it permissible? Is it allowed to go to this high, to this inefficiency? Is it working in the upper half of an inefficiency above price while still being bearish? Is it respecting only the lower half of that?

[47:32] That's indicating bearishness. It's weak. It's going to send price lower. All these factors have to be weighed in the balance while you're doing it. So you can imagine how difficult this is going to be for you if you think you're just going to watch a video or 2, get a PDF file from someone taking notes from my stuff and thinking, wow, I'm going to be able to do this and save myself a lot of time. You don't save time doing that. You increase the amount of time it's going to take for you to learn it.

[47:58] It sounds impossible, but that's exactly what happens. Just simply submit to the process. Go through it slowly. Take notes. Watch what price has done yesterday, last week, and break them down. Do this with your chart— with your charts. Notice what it's done here at 1:30. It creates that little run-up to the top of that daily suspension block. That right there is this high of that, that candlestick's open. So that little segment inside that candlestick is the price simply going right here, going up to go down.

[48:42] That's all it is. And when you anticipate when price is going to likely do these types of things and gravitate towards— well, let's go back out to the daily chart. Half of this range here. That's this blue line here. So up here, upper quadrant, that's reasonable because it would be going below that low. There's sell side below that, try to reach to the upper quadrant of that daily suspension block. It hits it, and look what it does— it hits it and slices through it. So it means what?

[49:18] It's likely going to reach for half of that range. That's down here, and it just fell short of it there. We have the new week opening gap presently today formed there, but that's a nice drop-off. That right in here actually was working with my, um, son Caleb and my brother-in-law. I almost said his name. I want to say his name. I don't want to— I don't want to slip up and give out personal information about that, but I I've been coaching them since the 20th of this month.

[49:52] They came over and I was teaching them how to read price action and whatnot. And I've done a couple things each day showing them consistently every single day, even during the holiday volume stuff, going in and nailing it, you know, getting near the highs and near the lows and vice versa, buying and selling. And I'm trying to get him to learn how to trade. So he knows that I did this trade in here in that little tiny little piece of a move was enough to make $2,100 on paper.

[50:20] Is it holiday? I'm not trying to get out here and be stupid, right? So, but it proves the point. Just getting out there and looking for something that makes sense. Is there a narrative that you can exploit behind what price is doing at the moment? If you can't build a narrative as why price is doing what you think it should do to find a price run to profit off of. If you can't make that make sense in price action, chances are you're forcing a setup, you're gambling, and you're going to go on tilt.

[50:53] That means you're simply bored or you're being impatient and you're not following a model. You're gambling. You're letting the gambler drive the car and you're falling asleep like it's a Tesla driving you to the winner's circle. No. No way. If I'm going to be in the marketplace, I'm driving it. I'm the one doing it, okay? I would never own a car that drives itself, and I would never let someone that's out of control drive my trading plan. And that is what I was at 20 years old.

[51:26] Trading plans and trading models were an alien concept to me then. Now it's all I consider. If there isn't a plug-and-play approach to what I see in price action— I've been here before, I know what it's doing, I know what it's trying to do here, I know it's going to use this type of manipulation. I know it's going to try to do this or that. That's how I can read every candle. And when I can't read every candle, I take a step back and say I'm not interested.

[51:49] It's simple. I use the pre-market hours— that's been 7 o'clock to 9:30 in the morning. I'll watch during those times, and if I'm really dialed in and I'm calling every candlestick's fluctuation and I'm really in rhythm with it, I know I'm going to destroy the opening range, and I'm going to probably get the low of the day or the high of the day and just rip the market apart. But if I'm not able to do that in pre-market hours, then I'm going to wait probably till 10 o'clock.

[52:20] So I'll let the first 30 minutes trade. See how beneficial that is, knowing that? Now, if you're not someone that considers the marketplace before 9:30 and you're not considering what the market's done between 7 o'clock in the morning Eastern Time to 9:30 open, that's a plethora of opportunities in and of itself there, but for setting the tone for what the market should and shouldn't do, how it should behave, how it should deliver after 9:30 opening bell, there's no better resource than determining what the pre-market's done.

[52:52] In this case, this market ran up straight up during pre-market session just to get to an old December 23rd displacement fair value gap. After a turtle soup. So those things matter, and I don't want you to take my word for it. It's not cherry picking. If you go back and look at a lot of my old trades that were recorded and placed on X, I'm using these types of things sometimes. You're never going to be taught that in those little snippets in those videos, but that's sometimes the answer to your question.

[53:26] Why did I pick that fair value gap? Which, chances are, it was probably one of these. The concept of first presentation is important. It's in— it's very important. And if you understand what you're looking for, there's logic behind it. Look how many— seriously, I've watched over the course of this month that just passed in December, and I said to my brother-in-law, I said to my best friend I grew up with and my own, my children. I said, look how often the first presented fair value gap is just hammering opportunities after next, after next, after next, over and over and over again.

[54:06] And I know some of you are thinking like, this is crazy, this is crazy, right? If they're going to change the algorithm, why is it still working? If they changed it, why is that still working? They're not going to change it, okay? I promise you, I have no intentions of making any changes. So hopefully And this is starting to make a little sense to you and you're learning. All right folks, I will talk to you when I talk to you. I can't promise when it is going to be, but I absolutely will be back live streaming, calling the market live candle by candle on February 10th of this year.

[54:50] 2026, Lord willing. I will touch base with you on X whenever I get in a moment, but just don't expect a whole lot of, uh, you know, correspondence with me between the 10th and, and now, okay? So if I can, I will, but if I can't, I'm just doing what I do normally every year. Until I talk to you next time, be safe.

Keep learning with us.
