Mastering Market Maker Models: Forex, Indices & Stock Trading Insights

You all could give me a little heads up on X. Let me know you guys can hear me. Let me know you can read the disclaimer.

And soon as I get a few confirmations, I'll begin.

Well, good morning. Good morning. Good morning. It is a good morning. So, it's Friday. Thank God it's Friday

in the long work week with not with Laurel and the rest of his angst. I I remember what it was like. I

remember. All right. So, real quick, just take a quick look at this. Shush up, old man. You talk too much. The uh

disclaimer here. Make sure that you have read that because it's important that you do.

Everything that I say here today is obviously uh my opinion. It's not meant for you to put any money behind it. I am

human. Sometimes, you know, I can make mistakes. Sometimes I buy when I mean to short and

sometimes I short when I mean to buy. It's a human thing. It comes up and anything can come out of my mouth during

the live stream and it may be a mistake. I may misspeak. I may say something that uh wasn't entirely correct. It's not

intentional. I just want to remind you that uh this conversation today is obviously like it

always is. is one-sided. You get to have uh the opportunity to decide whether or not

you stay with the stream or turn it off and go do something else. And that's fine. But uh

just real quick, just for housekeeping, so that way you know if it's worth your time, I'm going

to cover the dollar index first. I'm going to cover Euro dollar, pound dollar. I'm going to cover gold,

crude oil, and I'm going to go into the major averages. So, that's the Dow industrial,

the NASDAQ, the S&P, and I'm going to look at their counterparties with the CFD markets. So for those that can't

trade in our US markets, I'll kind of like bridge the gap for you in my opinion and as it relates to what I see

in the futures market and what that would mean through my perspective with the US 100, US 500 and the dirty dirty

on CFD market. All right. And then I'll show you um because I got a lot of questions about

stock trading and how my concepts can be applied to stock trading. So, I'll give you some tips and some things that you

go along with that. I'm going to try to be very succinct, right to the point because there's a couple things I want

to do this morning away from my home. So, I can't promise to be with you for a long very long time. Uh, usually I give

you a very facicious uh, you know, it's kind of like a ongoing gag where I'll say I can't be here for a long time and

then I go for a long long time. Uh, sincerely, I don't have that today. Um, I I wanted to do that yesterday, but I

just simply couldn't do it. So, anyway, as you can see, these are the notations I had from the last time we talked about

things. And I've been away, in case you've been wondering. Um, I have been abducted by the people in the van.

Just a colorful. >> Anyway, the point is, I've been away. I did a couple uh road trips with my wife.

We did the entire east coast of the United States. Went all the way up to Maine, all the way down to mile zero,

Key West, Florida. And now we're getting ready for the holiday. So, this will be my last live stream for 2025.

Um, I will resume all full analysis and whatnot. Uh, the first Tuesday of February 2026. I know

it seems like a long, long time, but you'll be fine. I promise you'll get you'll get through it. All right, so

dollar index. We're looking at the daily chart and you will probably hear me slurp a few times in here because I'm

not going to be able to reach for the mute button on my microphone as often as I probably should, but I'm sipping a

cocoa. It's that time of year where I allow myself to do that. I don't drink coffee because it gives you dementia.

And if you don't believe me, do some research. You'll find it's the truth. So, hazelnut cocoa is what I'm drinking.

By the way, no alcohol dollar index here. Okay. Okay. So, we're

looking at the um I'm looking at a line segment that shouldn't be there. I don't know what

that is. If my kids were younger, I would have tried the Oh, I know what that was. That

was a section highlighting the uh the volume and balance. No, I didn't move that. So,

Trading View, keep yourself out of my charts. You don't want me talking bad about you. So um

dollar index we have an old high. Now everything I'm going to say here I want you to think about what you have taken

notes from previous discussions. So this is where you kind of like hold my feet to the fire because there's so many

times folks will come and they'll watch a video or they'll see a post by me or I'll comment on something and it seems

like I pulled out of left field like where did he come off with that? And admittedly, yesterday I I did try to

post a real-time analysis of looking at what I was looking for in terms of the relative

equal highs. And I'll talk a little bit about that when we get into the NASDAQ. But I posted something and I thought I

did. Um X kept it in limbo and it didn't actually send. So of course when I came out and said here's, you know, here's

what I've done. It didn't hit as good as I was expecting it to because it was just lingering in my phone. who did not

get sent to Xplatform. So admittedly, yesterday it kind of did look a little wonky, but it is what it

is. I mean, technology is what it is. I mean, I've talked on live stream for hours not knowing that the live stream

was killed and and find out later on that I wasted my time talking. I loved the things I said. They were great. I

wish I had them on recording, but I missed it and it just went out there in the ether and it's lost.

So, by me talking about the things I'm referring to here, it's very, very important that you go back through, if

you didn't do it the first time, go back and look at my other analysis videos where I hadn't put that many of them out

this year, so it shouldn't be that hard for you to get through it for the rest of the year. the the annotations, the

ideas, the suggestions on on my part where I thought the the dollar index would go, why it shouldn't behave a

certain way, what it would mean for other markets like the the averages, like NASDAQ, whatnot,

how that helps your analysis for forex trading. This is the very first market I look at

every single time. So, I've been away for about a month or so technically not being in here every single day, you

know, grinding like I normally do. But having these annotations on the on the chart, don't just simply use my chart

and say, "Well, that's good enough for me." Okay? I want you to be inspired enough to go into your own charts,

annotate them, log them. What does that mean? Collect the things like I'm showing you here. By having it in old

charts where you put it in your study journal, when you look back and seeing that these very things were highlighted

in your chart back then and then how price reacted off of it later on, it's very impactful for your learning and

it's the work that I talk about when you know when people study with me if they don't do that part. That's what

I refer to as being lazy. And it's not meant to be derogatory and talk down to you. It's to inspire you to stop doing

those types of things and be more involved interactively on your end because simply watching my videos is not

going to make you a good smart money concept trader. It it will not do it. You have to get in here and roll your

sleeves up and annotate your charts. Keep reference points on your charts and then come back to them at a later time

and study what they did. But record your observations, what you think might happen. But in your study journal, you

want to be very cheer like you want to cheerlead yourself. You inspire yourself like you always saw it coming and it's

positive selft talk. But your annotations need to be genuine. They have to be real. They can't be,

you know, trying to include every possible thing. What you're trying to work towards is

understanding order flow. I'll talk a little bit about that. Also, uh you want to know where the next draw on liquidity

is. So, where's the higher time frame? Monthly, weekly, daily. And I'm only going to look at the weekly and daily

interchangeably when it's necessary or when I feel inspired to do so. Uh, but you want to at least be referring to a

daily chart, especially if you're, you know, a scalper. You know, by having a daily perspective, it really aids in

your intraday scalps, your intraday swing trading, your short-term trading definitely. But

because of gap risk, I I have personally moved away from short-term trading simply because there's so many things

out there right now that could cause a huge you disparity between where price is right now and where it can go

immediately. And that's gap risk. But overnight gap risk is the difference between where we settled, say for

instance, in indices at 5:00 p. p.m. Eastern time and then where we open up at 6:00. You know, imagine, you know,

we're we're trading normally, and I mean that with quotations in the air right now, whatever that means for you, and

then something happens after 5:00 p.m. Eastern time, you know, somebody drops a boom, you know, somewhere in the world

and causes a lot of chaos that way. What do you think the market opening would look like at 6:00? It wouldn't be

relatively unchanged from where it was at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time, right? At least hopefully you wouldn't know that.

And that's the kind of climate we're in right now. And it it may sound like Chicken Little. You know, you sky

falling, but you know, I'll leave it up to you to look at the things I said in the past whether or not there's any

relevance to it. But I just personally that's what I'm trying to promote to all of you. I'm not trying to push you to,

you know, place your foot on the gas pedal and go full boore, you know, full port everything, you know, go, you know,

hog wild basically looking for every possible, you know, payout you could possibly get. You want to be very

careful in these market conditions because the volatility is crazy, the uncertainty is very high and there's a

huge enormous amount of manipulation. So, it's important that you are aware of that going into this discussion. Okay.

All right. So, if you were with me over the last few months, you know that I talked about how we were

going to move higher off of this inversion fair value gap that formed after I said it was going to form. And I

want I'm challenging you to go back and look at the time when we were looking at the market down here. I called this as

an inversion fair value gap before it even formed. Okay? So, that's why market profile is inferior.

Supply and demand inferior. Elliot wave inferior GAN inferior WOFF inferior because you have to see

something in the chart then react to it and I'm not reacting to anything. I'm teaching you to anticipate these things.

I'm giving you rule-based ideas that are time based and scheduled delivered there. It's a scheduled delivery. Okay?

Just like uh we're entering the holiday season. There used to be timed or scheduled holiday programming like

Charlie Brown. That's like my favorite uh Charlie Brown's Christmas, Charlie Brown's Halloween, Charlie Brown's

Thanksgiving, you TV special. Well, just like every child that you know in the 70s, 80s and and 90s and 2000s

until 200, I think 20, I think it was, Apple took over, you know, the rights to be able to publish

that stuff and you can only watch it there unless you have the actual media. And you're probably saying, what does

this got to do with anything? the fact that time scheduled holiday programming really was started with

Schultz's Peanut Special, you know, Charlie Brown and Snoopy Gang. And everybody knew if you didn't sit in

front of your TV at that time, you missed it and you had to have wait a whole entire year. Well, markets have

this timebased delivery mechanism, too. And if you're not there when it happens, you miss that trade. So, as a young

20-year-old, I I I got plagued by missing moves, and it became a fear of missing out on everything because I

thought that, and you probably feel this way, too, if you're if you're new or inexperienced with it, you feel like if

you don't get the very next trade, that's it. You're never going to make it. And this there's this insatiable

desire to feel like you have to be a part of the next move. Or if you aren't, somehow subconsciously you view that as

you're not a trader, you might as well give up and therefore you're wasting your time and nobody makes money,

everybody's a scammer, nothing works in the marketplace. And you just become bitter about it. And I've seen lots of

people while I was coming up have that same mindset. And a few times I actually started to believe that myself as a

20-year-old because I didn't have success right away. was it was a lot of floundering and failure and just not

finding my way because I was listening to people that didn't really know what they're talking about. They sold lots of

books. They sold really expensive courses for me at that time, but I didn't take ownership of it. I didn't

have the ability to be responsible with my own actions or inactions. And I I wanted to look for other things and

other people to put the blame on uh my inability to find success with what it is I was trying to use back then as

trading. But if you don't subscribe to some view of

anticipating, not reacting, okay, I promise you this, the largest money that's made in speculation in the

marketplace is made on the basis of anticipation, not reaction. Large hedge funds, they're not managed

by people that are knee-jerk reacting because they have to be in position before the moves take place. They don't

have the luxury of you and I where we can get in with one contract, 10 contracts, 50 contracts. To them, that's

nothing. That's literally nothing. They they're they're million. I'm sorry. They're moving billions of dollars in

and out of the marketplace. And that can't be done on a tick chart. It can't be done on a one minute chart. It needs

to be dispersed over a period of time in large chunks and blocks of orders that they introduce to the marketplace.

Hey, sorry about that. Uh, this is the uh things that I always edited out. You're

going to hear everything this morning. Okay, so the idea is you want to learn to be anticipatory in nature as a as a

trader. That means if you don't know what it is that you're looking for, you're never going to be able to

anticipate and beat those that are trying to react. And what is reaction versus

anticipatory? Anticipatory is knowing for instance like I gave back here when we were trading at this candle and this

one started. I told you that this was going to be an inversion for everybody gap before we even traded up into it and

through it. So that's understanding what it is I'm looking for. And I put it out there in the public view. So that

way if I was wrong, all of you out there like hyenas looking for something to go on and chew on, I throw you a bone all

the time. If I was wrong, you can come and say, "See, he did that wrong. He did that wrong." And it's okay if I do it

wrong. It's far and few between when it happens. But when it does, it's an encouragement to you because I am human.

I'm not AI. I'm not artificial intelligence. And I can mess it up, too, just like anybody else can. Sometimes,

you know, it's going to happen. But if you don't have a measure of anticipation, anticipate, I coined that.

Don't anybody out there put that in their books. Okay, that's my word. I just created it right here. November

14th, 2025. That's mine. Unless you have some anticipatory skill set that you've grown and then adopted

by keeping journal entries and screenshots. Take lots of screenshots. They're free. They're absolutely free.

Doesn't cost you any subscription or nothing. Dress them all up. Put all kinds of lipstick on your chart and all

these empty spaces over here and over here and up here and over here. That's where you write down your annotations,

your your inner musings, the things that you think are pertinent to you. Right then and there where it's safe to do it,

where nobody can judge it. Nobody can call you silly or you're a clown. You put this in your chart and it didn't do

that. Don't be don't be worried about those things. This is where you want to make those

mistakes. You want to be able to see these things in a very disarmed environment. That means if you

don't do something perfectly, there's nobody there to judge you over it. And the worst thing you can do is be the

judge of yourself when you're trying to find yourself as a trader and find your model. It's really important you do that

because I hurt myself psychologically, physically, emotionally by doing those things to myself. I talked bad about

myself when I was trying to learn this because I expected it to be easy and fast. And that's why I'm such a

hardliner about telling you to be patient with yourself. Expect it to be longer than it would be otherwise. You

know, someone else out there is going to sell you a course. They're going to sell you a shortened version of what it is I

have taught. and they're going to promise you, I watched every video ICT ever put out and I'm going to make it

real easy. You're not making it easy for everyone. I promise you, you're not because everybody has their own baggage.

And until you sort that out. And how do you sort that out? By journaling and writing down the things that you're

thinking and recording what's going on in your personal life at the same time. Are you arguing? Are you fighting? Are

you between jobs? Did you get fired? Are you are you potentially going to lose your job? Are you sick? Are you fighting

an illness? You know, just recently I had to go through that same thing. I wasn't feeling well and I had to take I

had to take a huge step away from everybody to get myself well and I feel wonderful now. But you have to take

ownership of it and you'll see that you are the problem. You are the problem and you are the

reason why you succeeded. It's not Michael. It's not ICT. It's not my concepts that made you successful. It's

that you went through the process of pruning all the dead branches off of you that's stealing your your vitality, your

your energy, your focus, your health, your attention. All those things need to be pruned. And

the only way you do that is discover what they are. Don't let don't let anybody else out there on the internet

tell you what your problems are. And I'm not going to be the person to be able to do that either because you're not going

to be honest with me. You could be having an infidelity uh you know escapade right now with your

with your spouse. You know, you could be living a double life. You could be, you know, a kleptomaniac going to the store

and stuffing everything in your pockets and and walking out of there. I I don't know that about you and you're not going

to bring that to the forefront of the conversation if we met. So, that's what I'm talking about. You have to you have

to be 100% honest with yourself about what it is that makes you tick, what makes you think. And you have to include

those things at the time when you're doing your journaling. And that's why your journal should never be public

record. It should never be offered as here look at my study notes. No, never do that. Never do that. Because by your

willingness to do that, you're going to keep barriers and boundaries up and those walls are going to prevent you

from being honest with yourself because you're going to feel like you're obligated to look better than you really

are at your present state of development. And it's important that you remember

that what you're doing right now is to make that inner trader inside you that's successful consistently and

well consistently profitable. Yes. but not in a rush to get to that state. It's hard to fight that urge. I wanted

it to be faster than it took for me, too. But the easiest way to get there with the shortest timeline is to do

everything I'm telling you to do right now and resist the urge to do it quicker. There's nobody out there that's

going to make it easier for you or faster. I promise you. I promise you that it will not happen. You all have to

go through this. And anybody that says that you shouldn't do it this way is a waste of time. They're the same people

that are blowing their accounts on live stream. Period. Simple as that. Okay. So there it is. That's the

monologue. So now we can get into the charts. So I talked about how the dollar index would obviously use the inversion

fair value gap here. Then we had some bullish buy sign and balance sell sign efficiency. And then we had another

inversion fair value gap here with a with a with a suspension block. You can see the imbalance is here. It's not

noted like this one is here. I'm not going to draw it out, but you can see it there and there. And then we traded down

to consequent corion of that suspension block perfectly ran from that. I'm I'm away from everything right now at the

time. I'm back and forth, you know, traveling on on the roads with my wife. So that's why I wasn't able to do a

whole lot of much anything video-wise or whatever. And then we had this suspension block here which is a bullish

fair value gap with a volume and bounce at the high and the low of it. Okay. And then look at the bodies respecting the

upper half. Yes, we can travel down to the low of it which it does there and then we hit the lower quadrant on that

candle. Now think about this folks. Tell me where in volume profile is that? It's not. How about white golf? Nope. It's

not there either. Supply and demand. Nope. Elliot wave? Nope. P put a pitchfork there.

Do it beforehand, okay? Do it beforehand. Don't go back and try to pick uh the highs and lows to make your

pitchfork look like it it worked perfectly there. That's not how that works. Okay? Believe me, I did pitchfork

garbage, okay? As a 20-year-old, I swore up and down I was going to pick the right trend line, highs and lows. I It's

a It's a facade. It's a facade. When you stop arguing against me as the man, take me out of the equation. I'm

not important. I'm not special. Okay? I'm just simply the conduit. I'm the pen that he's using. That's all. So remove

me from the equation here. Look at what I'm sharing. Look at what I'm telling you to focus

on. If it didn't hold up, if it was contrived, if it's cherrypicked, if it doesn't work, it wouldn't be perfect

like this. It wouldn't be perfect. They form when they're supposed to form. They deliver exactly how I told you the

locks would be shown in price action. There's no ambiguity. There's no, "Well, if it does this, then no, no, no, no,

no. There's rules." What does that mean, Michael? What What do you mean by that? This is my first

time listening to you. What does he mean? I wish he would talk about what does he mean by that.

If you're looking for something that's going to be bullish, okay? If you're looking at something that's going to

cause and be a catalyst for price to go higher using my concepts,

what would that look like? Well, I chose to work with fair value gaps for a a lengthy amount of time in the last year

and a half. Not because that PD array is the best. It's not the best. I'm not going to give you my best. I'm not going

to do that. Nobody would do that. Nobody would do that because everybody would prostitute it and pretend it was

somebody else's thing and still have no pre proof to that either. Okay, the point is this.

Knowing what makes the market go up, there has to be some underlying premise. What was what was the premise on the

dollar index? This low swept it there. And then we want to look

for a lowrisk entry to a market maker buy model. Oh, so what you're saying is anytime

that the market enters into a buy program, that means it's going to remain bullish for a length of time until it

trades and traverses to an opposing pool of liquidity. That's the technical term that you'll see in the book. Okay. What

this is is it's smart money reversal. Smart money reversal will always, this is for your notes now, okay? Will always

be a purge on liquidity. Whether it be a market maker sell model, which would be the opposite of this, this high down to

that low, coming all the way back up, traversing right back to that liquidity there. Now, you may not recognize this

as a new student or even someone that's been with me for a little while. You may not see this as a market maker buy

model, but that's exactly what it is. They don't have to look perfect textbook, but the mechanisms behind

where price is going and why it's going to go there is still remaining constant. Meaning that yes, there was a

willingness for traders to go long here. Wonderful. Supply and demand not a factor. Support

and resistance not a factor. Liquidity absolutely the lifeblood of the marketplace. So, you got to stop

thinking about, you know, where prices caused the last buying thrust or the spring lower. Okay? Forget all that

white off stuff. Okay? Forget all that. It's archaic. It's simplified simple stuff.

It's so easy. All you got to do is read it one time and you know everything about it. But now, graduate from that.

Graduate from it. look at the the market a little bit deeper because there's a whole lot more

going on that are very very precise, very specific things that repeat on a timebased delivery.

When market went down below that low here, what was below that low? What what would what would be resting

below that that low right here in terms of liquidity? It would be sell stops, pending orders for two things. First,

those individuals that went long or anywhere in here, they're not going to feel safe by putting a stop loss that's

real short. They're going to want to go back to this low here because they're going to see that that is what? Well,

that was very strong support because look how the market reacted. Yes, I'll give you that. It reacted like that.

Wonderful. But I'm not looking at that as I'm going to I'm going to wait till it goes down

here and touches this and go long. No, I want to see it go below it because what that will do, it will give me immediate

feedback on whether or not this was a raid or if it's going to continue going lower. So, it gives you a a case study.

It gives you an opportunity like a laboratory experiment for the people that went through biology class or

university. Remember that you had to go through these labs? Well, this is a lab experiment. every single time you're

watching an old high and old low on any time frame. Why do I teach on a lower time frames? Because there's a lot of

opportunity for you to do the things I teach and study and you'll find all the evidence of this stuff works perfectly

in your own hands. You don't need me making videos and recording things. So, the market probes below that here. Let

me move this up a little bit. So, it moves below that low there. So, it opened. Look how this candle formed. And

these are daily candlesticks, mind you, up here, upper leftand corner. And just for a second, if you would

please, can you just give me a tweet, let me know you can I don't know why I just feel like I got to just double

check you guys can hear me. Okay, I apologize if I'm breaking up the continuity, but I don't want to be

talking and you not be hearing me. Oh, I'm not getting anybody. Okay, I got two of you. Thank you. Thank

you. Thank you. Okay, so when the market's reaching below an old low like that, I want to see it travel

below it. And by opening above that low, that low being here, this candlestick opened right there. Right there.

So the opening on that candlesticks price is 96.617. And then at that moment, it starts

dropping down to that low. Now support and resistance folks would be like, okay, it's going to go up right

there and and want to go long there. and they may elect to go long like that, but I'm not doing that. That's why I don't

trade support and resistance. So, what I'm looking for is does it trade down below it. Why is that important to me?

Because number one, everything that causes the market to rally high and low is always on the basis of a market maker

sell or market maker buy model. every fluctuation in price action could be broken down fractally to that very

premise right there. Now, it need not be understood at the beginning of your learning exactly what that means. It

just means that you're going to grow in your understanding about what that means if you're studying with me. Regardless

of what you trade as a model, your model, your entry, your silver bullet, your model 2022, for instance, model

2022, that is lowrisk entry. That's the part of the market maker sell model or buy model that you're trading.

You may not have ever identified it as such, but that's exactly what that is. Turtle soup. That's the smart money

reversal. Maybe maybe you've never known that. Maybe never identified it as such, but that's what it is.

second stage reaccumulation or second stage redistribution which is the unicorn of the the models that is the

biggest most explosive sustained price run that trades to the opposing liquidity of a market maker sell or

market maker buy model. Now for someone that's new that sounds like a whole lot of mumbo jumbo but I'll explain it in a

moment. Okay, but those continuations are simply silver bullet premises

applied to that time frame that you're seeing the market maker model on. Now, take a moment and think about what I

just gave you. I compartmentalized exactly how I taught you to do it if you went through my

private mentorship in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and the final one, 2021. those same lecture notes. And for the

folks that keep asking for the PDF notes, the PDF notes are simply watching the video and every time a new slide or

the way the the presentation in those videos changes, take a screenshot of that and save all them in a a PowerPoint

and then turn it into a PDF and you have the equivalent of what I was giving out. There was no notes in terms of like text

or like amplifications. What I was telling the students were that were in the uh paid mentorship.

What I was telling them to do is use the slides because I left ample space like this chart shows here. There's lots of

room for them to make annotations. So I told them to take them and print them out and yes it was costly on their part

for ink but it is what it is. The uh the idea was for them to write their own notes down but using the slides. So

there is no PDF. So please I get hundreds of emails every single week. Can you please give me the PDF notes

from the 2016 2017? Make them yourself. They're simply the the slides from the video screenshot every time that the

video changes to a new different uh presentation on the display of your video when you're when you're watching

it. That's all those PDFs were. There was nothing additional added to it. I swear to you in Jesus name that there

was there was nothing. If you are a charter member and you went through my paid mentorship,

post it to me in X that he's telling you the truth that there was no extra anything. But there's people out there

trying to sell mentorships and they're lying and saying that I you know this is the thing I'm hiding from you. I'm not

hiding anything from you. Okay? It's it's up on the YouTube channel. You don't have to pay for it. So by having

an understanding that the market's going to traverse from buy side to sell side, sell side to buy side, and it's going to

move from buy program to sell program, buy program to sell program. Okay? By expecting the market to provide you

stepping stones, you know, little footholds, if you will, moving from one position to the next. It will free you

up of this fear of missing out, which was a huge help to me personally because I had no real I had no real model when I

first started. I was just winging it, just going, you know, by impulse. I feel like it's going to keep going up because

it's gone up. So then I'm going to chase it, not knowing where it's going to go to or where it could stop going up. It's

simply like I don't know. Much of what I say all the time to all of you is you feel like you have to

learn it real fast or it's going to go away. You're going to miss the opportunity. And if I was honest with

you, I probably wasted more time worrying about that when I was young

because it seemed too good to be true. The couple times that I made money when I first started, the few times that I

made money, it felt too good to be true and I was afraid it was going to stop working and I would never be able to do

it again unless I made all my money really, really fast. And now fast forward 33 years.

Looking back, that was such a silly mindset. But it's understandable. It's understandable because if you don't come

from money, if you don't come from an affluent lifestyle, you feel like you're fighting tooth and

nail to get to it. And you have to do it fast because you want to get out of the pain you're in. And that is exasperated

and magnified when you're trying to learn to be a trader because it's painful doing it wrong. It's painful not

knowing for sure what it is you're doing. It's painful losing money. Even if it's $25, $10, $1, getting stopped

out and getting the commissions still covered, but not making any money. That's painful in the beginning. And I

wish there was a way for me to to take that from all of you and prevent that from ever happening. But I can't. I

couldn't do it in my own hands. So therefore, I can't do it for anyone else. You have to find your way in this

stuff. But there is a path. There is a way that'll lead you to it. But it's going to require a lot of work. It's

going to take a lot of study. It's going to be a lot of filtering on your part. And eventually when you get to know what

it is that you're doing, you're going to filter even me, which is exactly what you should be trying to do. Learn a

model, learn it well, so that way you never tap back into me because you've graduated. You've moved on. You you've

you've found your way. Show me appreciation however you want. You don't have to. There's no obligation there.

But simply cut off all outside interference because social media will make you feel

like you got something that's less superior. You what you're doing is inferior. I promise you there ain't

nobody out there that has anything better than this. I stand out here all the time. All the time begging for it.

Prove that you have something more precise. Prove it. Call it beforehand. Outline it. I'm sharing all this stuff

for free. There's no there's no course. There's no mentorship. There's no paid mentorship for me. I don't do signals. I

don't do investment things. I don't have a Telegram channel where I'm telling you, you know, I'm going to give you

signals. I don't do investments. I don't mess with crypto. I don't do any of that stuff. I don't take payments for

nothing. And you see these people out here ripping people off all the time. I'm never going to DM you. I'm never

going to do that. So if anybody's doing that and they're pretending to be me, you're talking to a scammer. That ain't

me. So by having the expectation and

anticipating that price will drop down, let's break it down into even a smaller scale. And what I'm saying here is not

just applicable to the dollar index, but I'm telling you what you can do with this information. You can scale this to

any measure that you want. You want to be a higher time frame chart trader. You don't you don't have time. You can't be

in front of the charts because you you have a job. You're in university. Uh your your lifestyle where you live geo

you geographically you can't be awake at that time. Okay? These are real world problems. Now, I don't have an answer

for everything and some of you may be required to make significant changes in your personal life and that

unfortunately is going to be a decision factor for you and I'm going to leave it to you to determine that.

But for someone that wants to take a stab at this and learn how to do it from a less of an intraday perspective,

you can do something like this. We we know at this day when it opened up on this price and we know we're real

close to that low. So you can do something what I taught is called purge and revert. Okay, for

students been around for a little while you know what that is. A couple years ago I revealed and taught it and

I don't recall if I actually have the video titled that way. So if you know where I talked about that and a lot of

my private mentorship students did way better job at, you know, itemizing and indexing what lectures had what at what

minute marker. I mean they they were phenomenal with it. Um I I just simply like a machine. I'm just I just like a

fire hose. I'm just shooting out all the information and it's up to you guys to to keep track of it. I I know it in my

head. It's not important for me to have it, you know, itemized and indexed. For you as a student, it's important for you

to do that. And for those that are just now beginning to start studying my stuff, go through all the videos.

There's no one better playlist than the rest, okay? But if I could be honest and tell you, if it were me, I would start

with whatever I've been doing recently and work backwards. You can't go wrong doing that. Okay? Um, if you if you're

really trying to learn, uh, you're going to consume everything. You're going to watch everything at least one time. And

the the things that are really detailed, you're going to want to watch them a few times. and it's not for ad revenue

purposes. You're gonna see you you'll go back to a video and you'll watch it and you'll swear up and down that I edited

it and I can't because there's still dated on on YouTube. You can't edit the video once it's uploaded. You got to,

you know, re-upload a new one. But you'll swear up and down that content was, you know, changed and now there's

something more useful to you that amplifies something that you swore wasn't there the first time you watched

it. And that's the benefit of having three years, I'm sorry, 33 years of experience and you going through a video

one time with limited understanding. It's so much information and it's dense and it's boring too. I'm going to be

honest with you, it's very boring. But you know what makes it really exciting? The first time it works in your hands.

Even if it's paper trading, even if it's, you know, a funded account that you didn't get funded account pay out

on, the first time it happens in your own hands, that's it. that you've been infected and you'll be very passionate

about doing it. But getting to that point is going to be hard because it's hard to stay motivated and it's very

easy to be discouraged. That guy ICT never won Robin's cup. That guy did this and that guy did that. I challenge all

of you to have the perception of what you want to do with this information. I'm the least important factor. I'm the

least important factor. And if I wanted to be hero, I would do all the things that you want me to do and it would make

you no more money. It wouldn't speed up your your progress. It wouldn't do anything for you but make you a cult

member. And that's what everybody thinks this is, but it's not. I'm not a cult leader. I'm just a simple man trying to

share something that I wasn't really fit to receive, but I'm doing my part with it.

You don't have a way to get in and trade intraday. Okay, this candlestick opens right there on that day. So right away

you know that there's a strong potential that the market's going to traverse from that opening price to that low.

Okay? Why? Because there's liquidity and it's so close. It's called close proximity.

This opening price to that candlestick's low. Close proximity. So if you are a day trader, a scalper, what do you think

might be beneficial for you in this condition right here? You know, it's going to act like a magnet and draw you

down to that liquidity because there's orders below that low. What kind of orders? Sellside liquidity. So, that

sellside liquidity is doing two things. Number one, it's protecting quote unquote the long holders with their stop

loss below that low. Who would do that? There's lots of traders that do that. There's lots of traders that do that.

But maybe there are individuals see that low and they think the dollar index is going to

go lower. They see all the things that's going on in the Trump administration. They see

all the things, the bad decisions being made on both sides. And maybe they're bearish on dollar and they think once it

goes below that low, they want to sell short on a breakout. Breakout artists selling short on a stop. So there's sell

stops protecting long holders or sell stop entry as a mode of entering going short.

So you can you can be a buyer or seller on a stop. That means it has to trade to your price. Just like if you're longing

at a sell stop below the marketplace at say for instance 50 cents whatever that would be whatever the instrument would

be. Say 50 cents is your sell stop. Soon as it trades to um at 50 cents it's going to activate that order to do what?

Be a market order to sell at market. Then there's limit orders where you can buy or sell on a limit. That means it

has to trade to your price or better. So in other words, what would that look like? If you were short already or if

you're going short at the open, reaching down to that low, this low price comes in at

96.377. So if you put a limit order to sell, I'm sorry, to buy it back,

you would be putting an order at 96 376. Theoretically, me personally, I would put it right at that low

because I want to make sure that even if it just touches one tick below it, chances are I'm probably going to get

that fill. And you can see it doesn't spend too much time down here. So, as a day trader and you're a Forex trader,

when you see the daily chart, which is again what I teach many times, you want to look for these pools of liquidity,

these draws on liquidity on the daily chart in the direction that the monthly and weekly instigate. Where is it really

moving? Where's the strongest tide pulling us on that monthly and weekly chart? And there isn't a whole lot of

changing of that tide. It stays in place for a while, but it's hard for you to stay on that side intraday because

you're seeing 50 handle runs out of nowhere. Where'd that come from? Oh, I'm probably on the wrong side. Let me let

me change my long-term bias to this now. What does it matter on a one minute chart, 15-second chart, five minute

chart, 15-inut chart? What does it matter if it rallies up real strong like that when your higher time frame bias is

bullish or bearish? That's infancy. immaturity as a trader because you're allowing short-term fluctuations and

volatility to screw up your perspective and you get misaligned and you abandon this idea that's based on higher time

frame premise and you catch yourself in all kinds of potluck trouble as a forex trader the day that it opened

up right here on the dollar index you know that what what's the dollar going to do

strong likelihood that it's going to traverse intraday during this daily candle, it's going to trade down to that

low. And the way I teach, it's going to reach below that low because there's liquidity below it. Now, as a scalper,

as an intraday trader for Forex, if dollar's going down, if it's going down to that low, that

means you have short-term scalps that you can go long on euro and uh pound dollar,

Aussie dollar, anything with the dollar index second in the name of the pair. That's a a buy scalp because dollar is

going to drop to that low. So right there, all of a sudden now you have a real quick way of being able to go back

and study things on your own charts. This same premise, even though we're looking at it on a daily chart, upper

upper leftand corner, the daily chart time frame. If you see this low here, say it was a hourly chart that we're

looking at, not a daily chart. Okay, same premise here, the hourly chart, if it opened, say this is a an hourly chart

uh chart, not a daily chart. Okay, and we're real close to that low. The hourly candlestick would be opening here. You

know that it's likely to do what? Strong likelihood that it's going to want to drop down to that low. It matters not

what time frame you're trading on. It's the same idea, same thing being applied. So,

if you're a scalper, if you're an intraday trader, if you're a swing trader, if you're a position trader, I'm

a off internet inday chart trader. I can't do the things that ICT is doing on a one minute

chart. I need a a mechanism to do this without looking at intraday charts. I'm gonna come back to that. Just relax.

But you can see how these ideas can be beneficial to you. And that's why I teach that if if you use an hourly

candlestick like a daily like a daily chart, you'll never run out of setups. It it it's every single hour there's

something to do. Now, I want to make sure I I I remind you that that is not an invitation to overtrade.

And some of you that are very short on discipline just took that and said, he just said, I'm going to trade

every hour and make money. I Where's my funded account? That's it. Give me a code. Trades by Matt. TBM code TBM. I'm

gonna get in there. I'm gonna use this information right now. I don't want you to feel like you got to

trade every hour. Okay. But the very very astute apt student of smart money concepts will learn over time that they

can take a trade every 60 minutes. In fact, every 15 every 15 minute I can find a scalp every

15 minutes and I can sit there all day long running it up, running it up and running it up. And that's what I did

with those Forex accounts, those seven figure accounts that said didn't happen because I supposedly use a white label

broker. Wrong, Jack. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Nope.

And that that's not what happened. It's using this same logic I'm teaching you here. See, this is a master class. Okay?

I I had a couple companies come to me over the last few months and they propositioned me, listen, we would love

to go into a business partnership with you and do a teaching circuit and go around the United States, Canada, uh

Europe, and uh you know, it'd be a profit sharing obviously I would get a 60% um shareholder uh profit of the

thing, but I would be basically going around talking and teaching and doing things like that. So, if you were doing

that, okay, and this is the kind of like slub my nose at those companies that are asking me to do that. Why would I do it

with you? No disrespect to all of you, but why would I do that when I could just do it myself and make all the

money? Like, who who would who believes that kind of stuff? Like, I'm a businessman. Stupid. So, but if I were

doing that, this is how I would teach you. I would start off with something just like this and it will allow you to

formulate an immediate road and pathway for you to decide what does that mean for me? Do I want to be a scalper? Do I

want to be an intraday trader? Do I want to be a swing trader, a short-term trader? Do I want to be a position

trader? You where are you with that? And in the beginning, I wanted to be a swing trader because I had a job. I couldn't

do those things being in front of the charts. And by me studying intraday charts, I

started thinking I'm missing moves because I'm not trading intraday. And I got tripped up in thinking that that was

the only way you can make money. And it's not. Now, for the working-class hero, here's

for this is for you, okay? You can't trade intraday charts. You can't trade the um smaller time frames because you

just simply can't do it. That is not a problem. Okay? It's not. All you have to do is change your perspective a little

bit. Okay? Using the same thing I just did here. Now, we're going to apply a different mode of thinking with the same

underlying market conditions. Now, think about what we've done here. Close proximity to liquidity on a daily

chart. That means intraday the market's going to trade down to that low. If you're using intermarket relationships

and it's the dollar index you're doing the analysis on, it's likely to do something like this. That means that the

forex pairs that have the dollar index in the second name, for instance, the dollar's going to go down.

Should be charging me money for this, man. I could I could be paying my bills. Be I could be getting out of debt. What

is debt? What does that even mean? What does that mean, debt? I don't know. I haven't been there for a while. So,

pound dollar, euro dollar, Aussie dollar. So, that means the pairs that have the the US dollar second in its

name when it's opening here on the dollar and it's going to drop down into that low

and below it. Okay? When it does that, these types of currencies in forex are going to go up until the liquidity below

that low here is taken. Then the easiest low hanging fruit objective for you is to sell your euro long, pound dollar

long, Aussie dollar long. Now for currency pairs that have the dollar index in the front of the name, that's

USD JPY. I hate that pair. I hate the yen.

Uh dollar Swissy. Okay. and they will do the same thing. They will mirror what the dollar index will do. So, there'll

be some kind of a low that they're reaching for, too. But you want to make sure here's here's this this very

important. Please don't miss this point, okay? When you're trading with positive correlated forex pairs with the dollar

index and your analysis is being framed on the dollar index all the time in forex, always, if you're not trading

with a dollar-based idea, you are trading blind. I promise you, you are not finding the success that you could

have if you're if you're avoiding this part. This part here is important for currency trading because when what your

opinion is about the dollar index until it's completely gone, it's the daddy. Okay? So,

we're in close proximity of this low for dollar. It's going to likely draw down to that

dollar yen, dollar Swissy, they're going to drop too. But the the low here here's the here's the kicker.

The low that may be also something that you're aiming for relatively the same time that this is being formed. In other

words, on Tuesday, July 1st of 2025, there might be a low on the dollar yen or the dollar Swissy

comparably at that low, but it may not take that low. How could that possibly happen? If the

dollar's on take its low, why wouldn't the dollar yen and the dollar Swissy take its low? SMT.

Now, right there, right there, that has cleared a whole lot of cobwebs for some of you out there, okay? Because you

think everything should be 1 2 3 ABC. The rules never deviate. There's never any kind of uh, you know, departure from

what you think in your infancy and learning initially versus what the realities of the marketplace is. So

having the analysis anchored to the dollar that means when this low is taken there there that is when you close your

short on dollar yen dollar uh Swissy or any pair that starts with the dollar in the front of the name of the pair.

Remember these up here with the dollar index to the right or second name in the in the title of the of the pair. They're

going to be moving the opposite direction. Okay? So very very important. You have to keep in perspective what the

dollar is doing because if this thing's going to move, it's going to affect the currency pairs

that you're trading. And SMT, which is a divergence and visually, let me let me do it this way.

Um, that's essentially what we're expecting in dollar. That low, this low piercing

that low. That's the old low. This is the low we anticipate forming below the previous one. That's this visually here.

But we may see comparably we may see a low in the

dollar yen and it's getting real close to it, but it may not go all the way below. It might go right just above it

and then pull away. And then you have the dollar Swissy. It might agree and go that slightly lower low. But what do we

have? We have a divergence in positively correlated uh currencies.

dollar index based with the dollar in the form of the name with the dollar index itself that we're showing here in

chart form. This is what we anticipate in dollar. This is the reality with yen. It says no, I'm not going to go lower.

And this here does go lower. If this happens, that could be indicative of a shift in internals that's call going to

support or cause a larger magnitude reversal mindset on the dollar index because big money

remember I was telling you earlier at the beginning of this uh live stream is that they don't have the benefit of

going into the marketplace on a very small short-term time frame. they have to move throughout blocks of price

action that they have to implement over time. It can't be their full positions placed on right now because they're

trying to hide what it is they're doing. And they also have to use the available liquidity that's available in the

marketplace. There isn't always the amount of liquidity at that tick in the next one minute candlestick time frame.

All the price action that took place in that one minute or five minute candle isn't enough for all these banks

globally to shove all their orders in on that one candlestick. Okay? So that's not what they're doing. They're not

they're not trading on one candlestick entry and that's it. Then then we're done.

But what they're doing is they're accumulating the sell stops below here and then they're buying more at that

opening price. And that's where you working class hero. That's you, Mr. I can't be in front of the charts in day.

Hang on one second. My puppy's right next to me. She's snoring. That's distracting me. Hey, Scott. Listen, I

understand you're relaxing and living the finer things in life. Okay, but you have to relax and stop snoring like

that. I'm live here. I can't edit all that stuff out. She understood everything I said. Trust me, I'm the one

that feeds her. So, the opening price here, when price goes down below that, if you

are a working-class hero, okay, let me get this stuff off here. If you're a working-class hero type trader

or in the process of becoming one, you don't need an intraday chart. How can I How can I take this

information and use it? Okay, you can have the same expectation and anticipate that they're going to drop from that

opening price down there. When does the dollar index open? That's very simple. That's a time that

never changes. It's simple. That time, whether you have a job or not, your phone has an alarm

clock, right? It should. You probably use it to wake up to get ready to go to work.

You set it to see what time the dollar index or whatever that pair or whatever I'm sorry, not pair that that market

opening price is anchored to. If you're going to be using um index futures, you're going to have

to decide whether or not you're going to use settlement price or non-settlement price.

You have to determine those things. I tell you always refer to both. and back testing and studying. It'll tell you

which one you want to use if you're going to use this approach to doing it, which is non intraday based. But now,

what do I do with this information, Michael? How how could I use this to paper trade and get better? Notice I

snuck that in there real quick. Okay? Because I'm not telling you to do this with real money. I'm not someone that is

positioned and licensed and certified to be a trade adviser. I'm not a CTA. I'm not a finan I'm not a financial uh

provider of information. I I don't have the I guess uh

authority to do that. So, we're talking hypothetically. We're talking about reading price action and studying it and

getting used to seeing what it's doing over time. But if you where we at here,

if you anticipate that price opening on that candle and you want to be participant in it,

get the opening price. See, when we're in close proximity, like as soon as this thing they close here

like that, okay, wonderful. Then wait for the new candle for the daily chart to open up, get that opening price,

then you know that it's likely to traverse and go down to that low and you want to see it trade below it.

As soon as it does that, as soon as it gives you this information, you already know that you can have a buy

stop. Okay? You don't have to be in front of your charts. It's on autopilot.

Complete and utterly nothing to worry about. You can apply this to index futures. You can try to uh trade it with

forex pairs. You can do it with stocks. You can do it with commodities. bonds. I not I'm not going to say anything with

crypto, okay? I know you see me doing some things with crypto and that's just simply because I've been inundated with

people. Please, please, please, please, please. Once in a while, I'll share my ideas, okay? But Bitcoin's going to

zero, so stop bothering me, okay? Just leave me alone. So, the idea is that once it does this, you're not in front

of the charts when it's doing this. You don't need to be. As soon as it comes right back up and hits the opening price

again, if your premise is correct, if you are right about the idea that you think that it's going to go down here

and take the liquidity and then start the run on a smart money reversal basis, are you getting long down here at the

low on turtle soup? Nope. Do you need it? Nope. Because your idea is it's going to go up to Now, here's

the test for you guys that have been studying through my private mentorship. where is the draw after smart money

reversal. It's a trick question. Now, pause the video if you don't want to

know. If you're watching it in real time here, I don't have the luxury of of doing that, but you're going to be

forced into the answer right now. So, what you do is you want to take your high

down to the low that formed intraday and it comes back to that opening price. As soon as it comes back to opening price

and trades one tick above it, you're immediately inside of a new buy program. So, this is kind of like a little play

on words with order block theory. It's the reverse. Yeah, how about that? Wonderful. You'll get more information

on the book. Don't worry. Don't buy the book. Let it go out in the marketplace. Trust me. Trust me when I tell you that,

okay? It's not meant for me to make money on the books. It's just meant for me to put it in written format.

This opening price on that candlestick, soon as it hits that, you can be long. But inside of this,

where we at here Here we have the high and this would be the original consolidation or where the

draw would be on a perfect market maker buy model. Market's going to go up here. But in your in your infancy as a as a

developing smart money concept trader, you don't hold to that idea all the time. You have to have a lowhanging

fruit objective. What would that be? Threearters of the move, okay? Or optimal trade entry. Because if you

studied with me and you went through private mentorship, you know that a market maker buy model and a market

maker sell model does not have to go all the way back to the original consolidation or opposing liquidity.

That's just the best case scenario. Now best case scenarios are just simply that a scenario. They're not an absolute.

They're not a panacea. They're not a beall end all. It's going to only happen this way like you think it should as a

new trader. New traders think that way. It has to work like this all the time or I don't want nothing to do with it. Go

do something else because that's not what the market's going to do. Okay? I promise you in the first three years of

your trading, you're going to find out that you are probably 90% wrong about what you think's going to happen. And

any money you make in the first three years is just happen stance. You aren't really equipped to be consistently

profitable. Even if you are profitable, the first three years you're you're floundering. you're you're going to

discover so many things past that third year. So if you're in a hurry to get profitable in the first couple months or

the first year, settle down. This is a lifestyle. It is not a lottery win mentality where you go and now you

suddenly have make money all the time. You're going to learn so much about yourself and it's good that it's this

way because you're going to be much more mature as a trader. What what I mean by not having to go all the way back from

this low being taken out for the purpose of liquidity, but we anticipate it being a smart money reversal to take us up

higher. Now, let me remind you, go back and listen to what I said. All during this time,

I was marking out all the things in here and then eventually in here and eventually up there.

I was giving you mile markers. I was not bearish dollar at all. At all. It never happened. My videos
