All right folks welcome back this is our lecture for January 7th 2025 the topic tonight is going to deal with the midnight opening range okay and I want you to know for all of you dear students of mine that are Forex fevered okay it's been a long time since I've messed around with Forex but usually when people think of Forex I'm probably the first person that comes to mind and I've probably introduced more for that Industry than anybody else since its Inception so and that sounds a little narcissistic and arrogant but that's just the truth
so I'm going to share with you one of my secret weapons tonight okay uh it works obviously in Forex and it works in Futures it works in every asset class with the exception of crypto I am never ever ever going to coign for crypto um also for the folks that keep asking about synthetic markets and or synthetic indices I don't have Any experience with them and just like the Indian markets the Nifty I have no experience with that either so you'll have to go somewhere else for an opinion on whether my stuff works in those
things because I've never actively pursued whether or not it does okay so with that said I want you to think about all the things if you've been with me for a very very long time as a student or just a curious constant reader uh That period of time when I was focusing on predominantly the Forex markets I was able to Showcase a lot of things where I would run accounts up that break next speeds and trade in the London session and do lots of wonderful things in the London session that just seem to defy all
logic it had to be fake it had to be a white label broker it had to be fraud it had to be you know some kind of trickery delay data something to that effect and I'm going to Showcase Tonight something that I've never shown anyone because it's never been my interest to share some of my you know best-kept Secrets but I'm going to do that tonight just to prove to you that it's not gain it's not W off it's not any of those types of things it's my stuff so when I coded this algorithm I
wanted to have advantages in being able to implement daily highs daily lows know where the lay of the land's going to be and then as a boundary marker for the Daily range high and low then I can operate in the meet in between very easily be able to have a an opportunity to just delve into the plethora of opportunities and setups that would be between those boundry points now it's not imperative that you learn how to pick the daily High and the daily low okay I have given points of reference that will help the diligent
student get very close to it now when you think about this it seems impossible how could Someone know the daily High and the daily low of a market before it even trades but I told you back when I was on baby Pips I was able to do this and I was showcasing examples where I was doing trades executing on them and being very very close to the high and very very close to the low how was I doing it I wasn't willing to teach it and in 2016 I did a paid mentorship and when we
got to uh 2017 uh portion of it which is all one paid Membership and that's the same content that I've uploaded on my YouTube channel so for people that are constantly leaving comments saying do you still do paid memberships or mentorships no I don't I don't need your money I'm not living off of the handouts from other people I don't need to do that I don't need to do it okay and to prove it I put all my content up on YouTube for free and I promise you okay I could make millions of dollars every
single month If I wanted to sell a mentorship okay I would put everybody else out of business and that's how it would be I'm not interested okay I love doing it like this is how I started and I love being a teacher from the heart so that way there's no there's no upsell there's nothing that you're going to have to pay me for and you don't even have to say thank you I really don't care if you do it's just it's not important but for the folks that learn from me I do appreciate When you
give me feedback and there's lots of individuals that are doing that and I just want you to know that it's appreciated as a teacher as a a fellow human being uh The Compassion that other people have shown me for the effort that I've placed out there with no expectation at all in terms of a monetary reward in compensation between you and I as a student you're here because you want to be and nothing keeps you here except for your interest so I Want to talk about obviously the example of using the midnight opening range and
the benefits of having that information with the NASDAQ first and then before I close this session out I will show it to you in a Forex pair and everyone knows that if you've watched me as a Forex teacher and teaching my Concepts in that industry or asset class everyone that knows me knows that the cable or pound dollar was my favorite currency pair and you know true to form Just for nostalgic reasons we'll go back into that same currency pair and I'll show you how to implement the same thing here tonight that way you can
go back and back test you can study and get your hearts filled with all kinds of joy and excitement just like on Christmas Eve where you can't fall asleep cuz you know Santa's coming so one minute chart here on the NASDAQ okay I'm not going to counsel you to look at the video I posted prior to this one in this Playlist so the 2025 lecture series on my YouTube channel the Inner Circle Trader I gave you an example last night where my son and I were working with this very concept here okay and how I
could predict the low of the midnight opening range and what you can use with this information going forward how is it helpful to you as a Trader what information does it help you Collect what can you utilize with this information for setups stop management all those types of things are crucial and and they're helpful really so without going through all of this movement here where we used the Cy last night and used all this frame of reference and then shorted this fair value gap which was also optimal trade entry we we short my son and
I is what we're talking about here uh that was done in his account that was not my Account he sat with me in a webinar seminar type you know Pro program what I could say about his chart when he's shown it to me live it's kind of like a where we sit and we talk like he's at his home I'm in my home and he's sharing his chart or I'll share my chart so when you're looking at that video last night that's not my Live account that's me talking about what it is that he should
do and he's given access to The cursor so that way when the button's being pushed he's pushing the button but it's me doing all the annotations okay so that way you understand what was going on there last night it was a live account it's his account he's pushing the button but I'm annotating and explaining to him so you're probably saying well why can't you talk during the video well not everything that I do with my children you're not obligated to that Okay so in other words you're not entitled to have everything I'm teaching them but
because I wanted to Showcase what I'm segueing into tonight I wanted to show you a real world example of you Michael the trader having the understanding about what this algorithm does because having this information is one thing having the idea and the source code if you will of why it should be beneficial what it could be used for What what is it used to bring about in terms of setups what place does it hold in power three with the daily range construction all those things okay are building blocks they they they stack on one another
to present what the daily range will be at the end of the trading session now no one else out there has this information because if they did they would prove it they would showcase it and they would be able to implement things and show you before it happens And there is no one walking this planet that's able to do that now in the recent years of me teaching and talking about these types of things and giv Concepts and conceptual ideas that audience has grown and their affinity for the ideas that these markets are absolutely 100%
scripted and controlled by an algorithm it's no longer taboo but there's still a strong opposition to the idea and that's good that means that There's always going to be liquidity there's going to be people that's going to be able to be the opposite side of your winning trade because they are not informed okay so that's a benefit to you and if you're in a conversation with folks out there and they're arguing saying that what I'm teaching or talking about doesn't exist it's it's made up contrived let them believe it let them believe it it's okay
don't try to win every argument with these people okay so I want you to think about how I taught the opening range in the morning session that's being specifically aimed around the 9:30 to 10:00 in the morning 30 minute interval so that segment of time that is the algorithmic opening range there is absolutely I don't care who tells you what there's no other opening range except for that 30 minute interval okay if it's less than 30 minutes it ain't algorithmic it's just somebody Trying to make up something but the algorithm absolutely uses that first 30
minutes and it does the same type of thing at midnight New York local time for the folks that've been with you know with me as the Inner Circle tra and I was doing predominantly just Forex instruction you all know that I taught a concept and you can find it on my paid membership and mentorship lectures in this YouTube channel all you have to do is look for 2016 2017 playlist for the Mentorship those are the actual lectures that you would have had to pay me for back then and I've uploaded them on my YouTube channel
for free because there's lots of people out there that still sell it to people that don't know that it's on my YouTube channel for free and I get emails all the time I wish I would have known well I tell it all the time go through my content you can see the playlist search through the playlist and you'll see I've have literally gifted it To the community I don't need the money from it anymore and I'm never going to do another another paid mentorship it's never going to happen so why am I doing this because
I love doing it okay and I promise you the ad Revenue isn't that great okay and I can make a lot more money trading than the ad Revenue will ever pay me so pull up your sleeves grab a writing utensil and get ready to take some cool notes because this is the information These are the things I was using back when I was running up those accounts over millions of dollars when I was trading the Forex markets and I was teaching and lecturing over live price action and everyone that didn't believe in me had all
these crazy thoughts about how I was using some kind of delayed data I was using some kind of a white label broker and I was keying in trades after the fact well now you've seen enough of me doing it with live Executions with a live broker with live broker statements okay it it's kind of hard to make that argument anymore so what was I was doing back on baby Pips when I was able to go in there and trade and nail the high of the day in the low of the day how was I able
to do that it's this concept here that starts it all off okay so again we're going to first present the idea in the NASDAQ and then we're going to give an example in the pound dollar for Forex Traders okay So this is the midnight opening range so the first thing you got to do is obviously find electronic trading hours so for the folks that don't know um I don't necessarily know what plan you have to have for trading view So to avoid the idea that I'm trying to sell or getting any kind of affiliate marketing
type thing from Trading view which they offered it to me I declined it uh I don't do any Affiliate marketing because that way my opinion is 100% organic it's not influenced by anyone I'm not paid to say I like something or don't like something if I say I don't like something or I like it I like it or I don't like it and it's is simply that so I don't know what plan you would have to pay to have trading view offer this for intraday charting when you're looking at index Futures uh this I I
don't I don't know to be honest You I have the highest form of plan at trading view so I I have the pro uh platform so I can see things that maybe your plan or if you don't have a paid plan for trading view you may not have this option and there's nothing I can do to correct that for you okay so just know that I'm being honest with you I'm being sincere about it I don't know personally what plan would offer this if it if it requires you being a paid member of trading view
so just bear that In mind I apologize if that's offensive or if it makes you mad but I don't have any control over that okay so you're going to be looking at it through electronic trading hours okay and by having that you're going to be able to see basically you know Globex hours trading that means the off session or non-regular trading hours when you have it on electronic trading hours what you're going to do is You're going to grab your vertical line here and you're going to find midnight and you always have to make sure
that your your chart is set to New York time don't care where you live geographically on this spinning rock that we call Earth you always have to set your charts to New York local time because everything runs by this algorithm on New York local time whatever it is in New York time that's what your chart should be set set to so you can see everything based on Algorithmic delivery anyone tells you other than that they don't know what they're talking about if they talk about algorithms and they're not specifically talking in eastern or East Coast
time they're completely oblivious and they don't know what to talk about to run away from them because they're frauds so at midnight we have this beginning reference point so that's the beginning and this is the end at 12:30 so you find 12:30 on a one Minute chart right there see that so now all you have to do is find where is the opening candle at midnight right here that candle the low and the high there's three reference points there that are very very crucial to me as a Trader so when I coded this algorithm I
wanted to have the benefit of having the parameters of a daily High a daily low and that way I can find the the plethora Of setups between those two daily range EX streams so that means I could trade with the idea that I know it's likely to reach to this degree of price because it's going to be the high the day and I can trade to this degree of price because it's going to be the low of the day and while I'm in between both of those reference points if I know what time of day
it is I know how I can implement the meat basically on that bone between the high and low of the day So there's a plethora of setups in between those two reference points now it's not my goal to teach you how to pin pinpoint the daily high and low but I'm going to give you some hints like I did to my paid membership students in the 2016 2017 mentorship where I was teaching in Daily high and daily low now there's a lot of things that go into that and again I'm not going to just simply
divulge that because that is such a degree Of there's no competition when you have that there really is no competition to it but you don't need to know the very high or low of the day but you can anticipate a rough idea where that might be a couple times a week with what I've already taught my YouTube channel and I'm going to give you some more information here so it kind of like will help you if you have all my old videos from uh baby Pips days you can go back And use this idea here
and back test and see exactly what I was doing and it was just like I'm showing you here tonight okay so what three reference points are we looking at well the first thing is the opening price at midnight on this Candlestick right there we're going to plot that like that and it's widen this up a little bit so we can see that range a little bit better and I have to be careful because if I'm not this could be very easily Another hour long video and I don't want to make a long long video because
I know the attention span of new students isn't that long and unfortunately they sometimes lose interest and they don't ever really get the chance to appreciate what's being shared so we have this level here and I'm going to thicken that up you don't see it but I have this little recording thing it's always in my way and then uh we're going to clone That and we'll plot that right there on the low okay so now what I have here and I'll make this a little bit thicker as well and make it black there you go
and I'll change that to a uh a dash line okay so that's the midnight opening price for power three power three is your daily range Candlestick formation this high is the midnight opening Range High And this is the low of the midnight opening range okay so this information once you have it it provides a great deal of insight okay and if you look at what I was doing in the trade last night with my son Caleb all of this move here I anticipated that and was showing you where it would draw down to and it's
really based on simple liquidity this right here right in Here this inefficiency this is Bid and balance cellid efficiency and then we have the liquidity resting below here so these are all draws in liquidity and I was mainly using this frame of reference there so if we go back over here once we have this information I'm now I'm going to take these lines that are vertical off okay so you don't no longer need them but now you know what it looks like and How to frame it yourself in this drop here from the high down
to the low of the midnight opening range I want to look for inefficiencies order blocks Breakers any PD that I've taught in month four content of my paid membership and mentorship lectures the way you look for that on the YouTube channel is go into 20 2016 ICT private mentorship playlist and look for month four and I'll go through In that number of videos I go through my PD arrays the first introduction of going through them not all of my PD arrays are taught in that playlist but the majority of them are introduced there not all
81 of them so if you notice this level right here this single candle right there that is your first reference point where the largest degree of displacement takes place notice that now Sure we had a CBI over here with this one right here much more pronounced okay much much more prominent it it really jumps off the chart so by having this and measuring that inefficiency we can now have a graded inefficiency that can be utilized oops I just grabbed the wrong thing we can use this information and go forward by having a and real quick
last night I taught you that see how this closing price is below The next candle's opening price here you see that so this candlesticks close the bottom end of the body basically that is lower in value than the opening price of that Candlestick so that's why I'm putting that shaded box on the wick of this candle and not this close Okay and the same thing over here this candlestick's close is lower than this candlestick's open so there's no volume imbalance is what I'm basically getting at if there's a volume imbalance You have to make sure
that you encapsulate the c or Bice balance so efficiency bissy which would be the opposite of this this is a Cy one single candle that's bordered by previous candle that doesn't share the same range and a subsequent candle that doesn't share the same range of this one single pass through on here okay so now we have this extended through and now this displacement the algorithm will refer Back to that it'll go right back into that range and how will it use it well we have gradient levels here the lower quadrant consequent encroachment which is the
midpoint of the Range High and load that creates this single cell side and balance b side and efficiency and the upper quadrant level here and then obviously the high and the low respective of this inefficiency now by having this information we can go Forward and use things like fibs that give you mathematically derived projections to where the daily highs and the daily lows will form now that sounds crazy right like there's no way come on ICT we can't do things like that well you can't but I can so if you take the high here of
that opening range at midnight and we plot that like that you see that now I'm going to go into the settings so you can see again here is my Fibonacci settings And if we add things like negative .5 -1 things of that nature uh we can get projections that will take us above these relative equal highs how high can it go how high can it go if it's going to sweep Above This level here and how low can it go when it starts to break lower should it do so well if we scrunch this thing
up here a little Bit and we apply the FIB both directions so here's 0.5 and then1 and then we have the standard deviations that are projected lower down here now we have things that we can project going forward we have some relative equal highs up here so there buy side liquidity And we can anticipate price running up into these levels here and then we have standard deviation ne1 now what is that measuring like what is it that you're actually getting from that you're getting the range low of the midnight opening range at 30-minute interval between
midnight and 12:30 Eastern certain time if the market trades above it then it can go one half of one standard Deviation or one standard deviation so in other words the actual range from the high to low at range added to the high that's all it is so think like measured move how hard and fast it goes to that degree of Premium or discount is relative to an economic calendar event during London okay so this is all help you trade London session that's that's what it's really based around and I'll give you some more details in
a moment just bear With me okay these are very very complex Concepts so when I sat down and I was coding all these things to make it fashionable where knowing what it's going to do repeating it and now it's going to refer back the same reference points and over and over and over again uh that is something that I can't obviously teach and Showcase in a video I certainly not going to do it on YouTube anyway but just to give you the the nuts and bolts If you will this is a very easy brass tax
approach to finding the one or two levels that generally not all the time but generally will deliver what you're going to be looking for for a daily high or daily low we have relative equal highs over here you see that so this one here is enough to do that it trades up into it there but then we have standard deviation one up here so watch what happens later on in the Day session but for right now I want you to look at what we have in London okay we have the standard deviation based on this
inefficiency if we take the the range from low to high that's this low here to that high half a standard deviation one standard deviation if we use the inefficiency we can do the same thing there where we can take those levels and now we'll plot Them from low of the inefficiency the high now I already know okay I already know that there are very very critical Minds watching this and they're saying this is over complication okay I already told you this it's is something that it's not found in other books know that the Educators Gan
doesn't know about it wof sure as hell didn't know anything about this Larry Williams doesn't know anything about This you know nobody else knows that stuff because you're talking to the macdaddy who put it together so this inefficiency here if we use that same idea of standard deviations from that we can also get very very precise elements to how the algorithm will rebook and redeliver to premium and disc discount even inside of that midnight opening range what do I mean by that well this is first presented Displacement okay the displacement in and of itself is
a PD array remember we already had a inefficiency offered here here okay so it's not that it's you know sell sign balance in in of itself it it's a very large one and it's occurring inside of the midnight opening range so it jumps off the chart it's the first presented displacement notice that so what happens when I add these same levels that are here1 And 0.5 what if I add that to this inefficiency on the upside you get these things like this you get the 50 or half of it that's this level here look what
the bodies are doing you see that look at all this close of that candle the open of that candle all this consolidation around there look at the bodies here here and it moves away from it and then we have the negative one stering deviation here What is it doing it's creating this delivery of that high look at the bodies working around that and all the consolidation around here and runs away from it there now what happens when we use the same idea and we add it to the rejection below this inefficiency you start from the
high down to the low 0.5 you can see how we're working this level here and then finally At1 standard deviation we see it here here here and then rallies and starts working inside of that displacement in and of itself so we can see there's boundaries that can be created with this so the markets are absolutely not random and you're going to try to argue with me and tell me that you know all the buyers came to the conclusion that this is a good time to buy and sellers said no we're not interested in selling anything
lower Than that so therefore the market stopped turned on a dime and reversed right wrong same thing here the market is just going to randomly go down to that level here stop turn around and go higher simply because sellers no longer interested in going short and or buyers overtook the buying or selling of short sellers that's not how the markets work folks okay and for the folks that are leaving comments and saying you don't even know how the markets do auction you Don't know auction Theory you don't know algorithmic price delivery that's the problem here
there's a break in communication here because you don't know the language of the marketplace you can read all the books and listen to all these people talk about how they used to work on the floor and they knew this and they knew that these same people are in my mentorship okay so come on on please when you look at the degree of precision okay and find it anywhere else you're Not seeing it anywhere else floor pivot numbers ain't going to deliver this level of precision okay it's not there folks supplying man ain't going to do
it either but now watch what happens when we trade outside the bend of this range notice we're we're probing below it here but it's only going one standing deviation of this inefficiency with that low right there remember go back to it look look see look at it it's controlled it's only allowing one standard Deviation outside of this when it went lower I'm not interested in in seeing it Go below that low because I don't think it's going to do it why why was I interested in only getting out when it went down here why was
I why was I doing that because this inefficiency told me that this one standard deviation down here is is about as far as it'll go once it trades to my target three look at the video from last night okay So once we get back inside of this inefficiency that's in purple then I can start looking at the quadrants the consequent crment and the high and the low the actual inefficiency so you can see the low of the inefficiency here again that's this candlestick's high it's supporting it here rallies up to upper quadrant trades back down
it trades just outside of it here but then goes right back into the middle and starts consolidating around the con Quent cachent or the midpoint of that purple area then the market trades one more time lower and now it's allowing price to go outside the range of this inefficiency because it's in in it's enticing it's luring traders to go short and it's probing for liquidity below this low and anything that's around here they'll prob at and try to see if they can get that but they got a short-term low here they worked below that and
then back up inside of that Purple shaded area which is the first displacement in the midnight opening range the market rallies back up trades through the high the opening range at midnight here then back down the consequent encroachment consequent encroachment that's the red level which is essentially just half of the purple shaded area which is this inefficiency now think about these are all rule based ideas okay it's not contrived it's not conjecture it's not Just pulling things out of Randomness these are things that I want you to go back and look at your own charts
okay just watching this video and being frustrated saying there's no way this is too complicated I don't know what to do with this the information that you're going to glean by going back over old data old price moves is going to be astronomical like it's going to get your gears turning and you're going to be looking for these types of things and How it's influential going forward so we get to the low of that inefficiency again here what time of day is that it's 2:41 that's London open you want to be trading the London session
I said D can you please do a London session can you talk about the London session I'm doing it I'm doing it it's right here this is the stuff I was doing with pound dollar euro dollar and I was smoking the Forex Market I was smoking everybody else out there in their bull crap that they Believe that causes markets go up and down because this stuff works in Forex too think about it folks you're getting to see what really is going on behind the facade of just technical analysis the source code is being revealed right
here right here you can't escape it it's right in front of you it's been hidden from you all this time because you're not looking for the things that reveal it because its author never talked about it so we're looking at this rallying Higher we took this period of uh short-term highs here that b side was taken here and then where's it go right back down into that first displacement in the opening range at midnight creates a short-term low it trades below it again and goes right to the lower quadrant look at that you can't get
any planer than Precision look at that look at the low okay look up look up here look at this Val value right here okay keep your eye on that right there okay see that low right there what's that low 21,7 5.50 now watch watch ready we're going to take our time travel way back here at this random Candlestick that was just picked out of the thin air right what's the value of the lower quadrant 21, 7550 folks Gan whiteoff all these Jokers from the old days okay that looked at charts and they pointed the things
and they Said this is what makes the markets go up and down and they only explain things in hindsight I'm giving you things that's going to predict the future and it's going to continuously predict the future and I don't want you to take my word for it I want you to go back to your charts and look for these signatures because I put them there for you to see all the time time emphasis on Time stops right there because of selling pressure was abated and now by buying pressure came in come on it's not it's
not what's going on but it's a wonderful fairy tale so the market does what what is it going to do here what's it going to do it delivers on 330 macro in London session go back through my Forex lectures I tell you very Specifically at 3:30 that's your sweet spot don't take my word for it do not take my word for it here don't just say well ICT said it in this video on January 7 2025 no no no no no no no no no no go back through my lectures in the 2016 2017 and
listen to what I'm talking about listen to the old lectures that I did on Twitter in Twitter spaces two years ago I talked about first present Of fair value got just casually mentioning it the astute traiter the APT pupils heard me say it and he took notes and they said what's he talking about let me go and then all of a sudden boom they could see it I dropped the breadcrumbs for many years but if the person that sitting around and watching my video or listening to me lecture and they get drowned by the the
depth and the word Sal that you think I'm putting out here I'm not talking to hear my own voice I'm talking to teach you but I'm also teaching in a way where only those individuals that really want it and deserve because of their work ethic they're going to get it I'm not interested in creating one two three copy me here's your you know plan and there it is go run and make money make books sell courses and be a mentor and sell mentorships for $1,000 to get in and never have to prove that you're a
Trader come on I'm not putting people in business like that so at 3:30 the market starts to run away from lower quadrant of the first was first displacement in the midnight opening range the market rallies aggressively up to some random projected level negative 0.5 and then creates a retracement makes a higher high fails to take that the high and then we trade back down into the first displacement again stops dead End it to high at 5:00 now London session is done okay what's going to take place now we focus on the day session now what
we'll do is we'll we'll scrub over to and jump right into the 9:30 session here and notice how we traded up in the uh electronic trading hours right ahead of the New York opening bell at 9:30 see how the price trades up here look at This that's that negative one standard deviation on the midnight opening range see how that delivered that and then you have this nice turtle soup rally up and then breaks down you see that see that right there now inside of this area here okay I want to refer back to a reference
point that's found in regular trading hours so if we go into regular trading hours and I don't know again if you have the plan with trading view that allows you to see This I'm not selling for them they offer me affiliate program program I denied and declined it I'm not interested in doing any affiliate because I want again my opinion about things to be organic and I'm not for sale and you can't hire me and if I don't like your product I'm going to say I don't like it if I like your product I'm going
to say I like it I'm not asking for any Kickbacks okay so uh we're going to go to regular trading hours real Quick and I want you to look at this little area right here you see that so right here that's the opening price here and the difference between where we settled previous day at regular trading hours see that boom boom those two reference points there so now watch if I highlight that volume and balance because that's what this Is and I'm going to highlight that with this shaded color okay now because I have this
here I can go back to electronic trading hours I know this is this is so complicated ICT this is hard right and that's why you you don't see anybody able to do the same things you see me do he's such a narcissist now it's I'm just telling you the truth having this reg training hours reference point that volume of Balance and extending it forward and we're going into the 930 opening here the market takes a dive trades look where the bodies are you see that that's that midnight opening range see how it's did that see
how it's respecting that Gan had nothing to do with that wov has nothing to do with it her Cycles has nothing to do with that Sam sidon supply and demand had nothing to do with that volume profile had nothing to do with that vwap had nothing to do with that Nothing to do with that and the market does what it rallies right back up into that same area and look at the body stop in my volume and balance in my source code my reference point that I say you can go no further you stop right
here and the market breaks down once more and it does something that I've taught in 2024 and mentioned in audio in Twitter spaces in the summer of 2022 inversion Fair value gaps well let's add that real quick so the Market's doing this it's going from here see look at that volume balance you see the difference between this candlestick's close and this candlestick's open that green candle here there's a small little portion of price action right in there and let's take away this uh extent right we don't need that we here and if We look at
that that volume and balance rate there we have to use that when we're referencing buy side and cell side uh in balances so this inefficiency on the upside normally we would expected to trade back down because anyone that's watched my work they'll say oh it's one of those fair value gaps it's simple you just go in and you buy that wrong wrong wrong wrong the idea is we've already made a run and created the high and then It bumped it here at 930 the high the day is getting rided then it trades lower everybody wants
to dog pile on it and go short then they send it right back up to that imbalance that volume imbalance and then we have this move lower and this is an inversion fair value Gap so once we trade through it coming right back up into the bottom of it look at the bodies is the bodies respecting the halfway point yes you Want proof let's do it here's the midline look at the bodies stopping dead in its tracks boom lower she goes lower okay and let's aim for 640 21, 640 and then we'll be content with
something like that so we can go in here and do something like uh I don't know maybe show some executions and there we go boom inversion fair value got and taking profit selling short two more and then doing another quick Recovery in there so we're seeing that we have no real interest I'm sorry I said went short there is me adding going long so covered went long went long and then sold the two contracts there so I did two things here I went short you can see it there short buying it back and then going
long and going long you can see it right behind that Right here going along there and going along there and then feeling out of it right there because I wasn't content with uh holding I wanted to see it come back up and bump into this and then I was going to reverse and then add more going short but I didn't like what it was doing so it is what it is so all in all that was how I engaged today I really wasn't going to do anything this morning but I figured well you know this
is pretty pretty easy let Me just get get involved with it but in here once we traded down into consequent encroachment of the midnight opening range it's the 30-minute interval between midnight and 12:30 eastern time we went to consequent encroachment traded back up to the high look what price it's touching what's this dash line remember that that's midnight opening Price Power three so we can say that right here that's the high of the day this can Candlestick the open is here and one more time they pass back up into a premium we break lower inversion
Fair Val Gap Michael gets short rides all the way down slices through the midnight opening range and look what it does it leaves it aggressively it's no longer interested in coming back to to test it as a resistance or premium array that's what it's indicating the Market's extremely heavy so look for lower prices so we can see that the market does in Fact offer my 21640 and it pushed down there aggressively and with slippage 2,630 and then I did some reversal trading in here to try you know try to scalp a little bit and was
able to finesse a couple little points in there but then buried that idea quickly because we couldn't even get up to this level here where I wanted to go short and hold on to it for the rular trading hours Gap that uh was afforded you know traders that were looking Beyond to Simply yesterday's opening range Gap so I told you I would look at things with the uh Forex market so let's take a look at the Forex pair and forex.com that was always the uh broker data feed I used when I was teaching Forex and
here's pound dollar or table as it's usually referred to by as Forex Traders all right so now let's go back through real quick because this is Already a very very long video and this is not what I intended to do but I apologize um It's just sometimes it's just going to be like that right I'm going say there would be days like this this guy loves himself too much all right so we're looking at the same thing here we're going to look at the midnight start here so we have midnight candle right there on a
one minute chart notice that Here one minute and then we're going to do the same thing with 12:30 so that way it'll give us the midnight opening range so that's that's your range okay and what you're doing is you're getting three reference points there you can add the fourth one being the highest high and the lowest low and uh the opening price but we're looking at this Candlestick here since it's a Down close candle that means the open of that body is your midnight opening price so we're going to do this so there's your midnight
opening price for power three and then we're going to look at the low in between these two vertical lines what's the lowest low right here all right and then we'll make this uh pretty little color purple the color purple that was a great movie I don't know if you guys watched That that was one of the the real let's make it bright uh real beefy that's one of the uh good movies that came out during the 80s Willie Goldberg and number of other uh great actors we in that all right so we have our opening
range at midnight opening price low and the high so now with this range here what can we do well we can grade it that means we do a run from low to high okay and it'll Allow us to do what we can see price runs and more specifically inside this range we're going to highlight that so that way we can project it throughout the entirety of the day and we'll see how that is influential with price action and let's do it uh purple we'll do it like that and then we'll extend it to the right
okay and then now this here we can do things Like uh run standard deviations off of this where there's one standard deviation then we can do the displacements like this is the first one here so that's your first displacement higher leaving this consolidation here so you can take that and project that into the day as well kind of like treat it like it's the first presented Fair Val G and we'll make that white simply because it should Stand out now okay notice it's also encapsulating the opening price at midnight you see that so there's a
couple things there that are agreeing and also this is consequent encroachment of this entire range at the midnight opening range so there's a couple things that are are converging in our Confluence in this little small little uh range of price action let's scrunch this up okay and I want you to You can see how we have the market reaching higher and then it dies back down into .5 here look at the buys here and then look what it creates right there relative equal lows you see that that right there is a trap they're just letting
that look like it's just real good support and then they rally it higher up takes us up into it looks like it's a standard Deviation 6 and a half or six maybe let's do six and a half and six and a half and the market rolls away from that and then drops right down into oh oh what's this time what time is this what time is that right there 329 in Forex I taught you The Sweet Spot for London SE is exactly 330 and that's when the algorithm comes in fires off and what's it doing
oh it's just randomly trading down into that first presented fair Value Gap inside of the midnight opening range I goodness Virginia I believe this young man's got something here and I don't think I ever seen it in any other person's books or courses or mentorships my good my goodness look this and then takes off no it rallies trades right back down into the midnight opening range and then sends price higher and then Works off of the Negative .5 level and the negative one level and it rips through tears the face off of traders that are
short here way up here so my question to you is do you have a mentor that teaches you how to take that trade with that degree of precision it's not using my smart money Concepts I bet you don't I bet you they're asking for money and you can never find these types of trades in the logic behind it so why are you paying Them why you paying for those things huh because you're getting it the real direct way right from the horse's mouth right here so you can see that there's a benefit obviously to having
this information and knowing the time okay listen to me the time that the trades should form and deliver that's how you don't have to trust that I'm telling you this an algorithm all you have to do is say okay he's given me these reference points to keep looking for it do these Things keep repeating yes and they're not found in any else it's the wonderful thing I stand on that all the time and many times it's people's throats that I'm standing on because they want to fight it they want to argue and they say that
you can't be that guy you can't know these things and you didn't make it you rebranded it from someone else and you got $5 million direct wire from me if you can go through anybody else's stuff and find This because it's not there 1996 codified Michael so anyway the market trades lower and what does it do here comes all the way back down into this area here look at this look at the bodies respecting that it's almost like it's been told behave this way and then it rips outside of it which is normal it's in
introducing the idea that okay it's going to keep going lower and then it Doesn't it comes right back into to the range works the upper quadrant level and look at the bodies look at that lower quadrant level rips higher comes right back to the opening range at midnight look at that ain't that beautiful is that beautiful seriously all put aside isn't that just beautiful if it's going to come back down here and go higher what's the easiest low hanging fruit objective if You're a Forex Trader and you want to trade that 8 in the morning
during the New York open Kill Zone remember that here's by side it's easy trade from here to there booked done done and dusted there's so many setups here so many things that you can build off of but the main thing is this are you looking for the moves that really like the launch and take off and rip the faces of traders that don't know Any better that's what I'm teaching you that's exactly what I'm showing you right here Daddy's pulled back the veil and showed you who's really informed because the price is always delivered by
a Time based delivery mechanism that is the algorithm it's not buying and selling pressure convince me seriously convince me that buyers and sellers are using these reference points because no one Else has t about it so where is it coming from I didn't get it from anyone else I didn't borrow the logic from anyone else I didn't Rebrand it I didn't borrow the concepts from someone else and say let me make a name for myself and call it something else that would be foolish that would be foolish of anyone especially someone like myself I Have
a very large following you would think out of 1.5 million people that are just subscribers and I have most of the people that leave comments in my videos aren't even subscribed to my channel so that tells you there's a whole lot more followers of the concepts and videos that I produce we're in the millions and those Millions can't come for with the evidence that this is somebody else's stuff come on I've invited you to do it and I told you I'd Reward you because it's it's a safe trade I'm never going to have to put
that $5 million in anybody's hands because I made this I codified this it's mine and it's because it's mine I feel entitled to be able to share it despite what anyone else might think about that so that's why I do it the market does in fact trade up here and takes that buy side out and we do in fact have a one hour video so it takes the buy side out here consolidates as alltime Distortion and then we have the market drop down here what what's coming at 10:00 well if you look at the economic
calendar we had the ism PMI number and we had the uh jols number at 10 a.m. eastern time and that's what we're seeing here the market Dives down and then at 10:00 it does what it Wicks through up to this Cy here which is also a breaker high low higher high there's your breaker the trade right into that hammered it just a wick outside because The Wicks are allowed to do the damage and then the market breaks aggressively lower and it's almost like it was telling it way in advance at midnight that it wants to
do these types of things but I'll leave that up to you whether you decide there's any value in this but this is one of the tools that I used when I was doing Forex and I didn't want to teach it to anybody because it's just a secret weapon it's one of the things that source code Handlers let's say it that way um they have that advantage and all of your best moves are going to springboard off of things like this and I have lots of these types of things this is just one more of those
81 PD arrays that unfortunately puts me in a different category of technician puts me in a different category of visibility because I don't see open high low and close I see what the algorithm is doing I see the reference points it's going to Go back to today in the afternoon tomorrow next week next month that's what separates me and that's what makes me Inner Circle Trader that's what makes me that those things I will never hand all those advantages to anyone else my children will see them but even in their hands with me teaching them
they're seeing how it's not easy it's not easy to have what I Have it's not easy and it's normal for you to see all these things and say man this is really complicated but here's how you should take this information and go forward with it okay and then I'll close it I want you to think about how we're finding the framework with this information the opening range Gap we talked about that yesterday wasn't the first time I talked about it but that's your first beginning Point the framework that you use around opening range gaps is
derived by the midnight opening range that's the 12:00 to 12:30 eastern time before you even wake up to trade in New York session you should have at least referred back to that that area of price action and carry forward that information like you're seeing right here every significant price run I promise you I promise you every significant price run that's worth its Measure in terms of uh significance the move that every Trader wants to be a part of that's where my pdas shine they just they fared out all those types of moves and nobody else's
Concepts can ever brag that fact they can't do it there's nothing close to what you're learning from me not even remotely in the same vicinity we're light years above and beyond and outside the reach of anyone else out There and this is nothing still this is still nothing if this was something you would learn in grade school I have things that are PhD and Mastery level and this is like first grade that's how deep this goes That's how much precision and time based oriented price delivery just like that all scripted all coded all codified it'd
be one thing thing if I said it and never proved that I could use the Logic but I showed it to you last night I have students all the time can you show me London can you do something with London we you keep promising London London London I just gave you the golden ticket to trading the London session you don't ever need to have me talk about the London session ever again with everything I've taught in the 2016 2017 paid premium mentorship lectures that I've uploaded to this YouTube channel go and look at the playlist
you'll see it Go through all that content if you want to be a Forex Trader and then apply what I to share with you theight here you will be unstoppable you will be a force to be reckoned with and you're not even going to be able to accept the fact that you now have this visibility it's going to be years and you're going to be still looking at thinking man look what I can do look what I can see look at the visibility Right now imagine going almost 30 years with that information behind your belt
walking among everyone else that thinks they know what they're doing how these markets Book price laughing under your breath because they are thinking they things go up and down based on indicators or buying and selling pressure or vwap or all this Market profile garbage all of that stuff they're all lies that make you believe that you have An advantage in something that's random and they train you to believe that when you lose well it's just something you're going have to accept I don't accept that I don't accept that you're welcome to accept that you are
welcome to use flawed logic have at it have at it trust in knowing that me and my students are going to appreciate the fact that you are on the other side of our trades and if that sounds condescending and narcissistic and Arrogant so be it the lion never apologizes when it eats so hopefully you found this one insightful until I talk to you tomorrow Lord willing be safe
