Buy Program
What is a Buy Program
"A buy program is not a market maker buy Model A buy program is when the market goes when an algorithm starts going into buy side delivery meaning when the market starts delivering price higher"
"it matters not how much buying pressure there is or how much selling pressure it is it's going to go there regardless of whether you want it to or not because if the Market's going to go there it's going there and it can do so with low volume"
When Buy Program Starts
"the market rallies from here and enters a buy program buy program is when the market just starts booking higher prices"
Buy Program Duration
"until we get to a pull of liquidity in this case it would be buy side here or a premium inefficiency"
Order Block Formation
Core Concept
"One Candle does not make a narrative one candle doesn't make a order Block it's this change in the state of delivery that is the order block"
Using Series of Down Closed Candles
"if there's ever a series of down closed candles you use that entire block of down closed candles as one because it's delivery that you're looking at not just simply One Candle"
Identifying the Price Level
"three down closed candles that opening price right there that candle's opening price you're going to look at this this value right here okay that price is 4145.45"
Smart Money Activity at Order Block
"when it comes back down and touches that they're buying it when it trades on this candle here and trades and goes down to it again they're buying it their algorithm which is high frequency and it's hammering hammering constantly hammering the market at these price points they're buying it here they're buying it here they're buying it here and they're buying it here"
"every single time we leave a down closed candle they're watching their positions move into profit"

"that macro is Market on close it means it's going to cause a price run as we get in towards the end of the day"
Expected Movement
"if you do not have a clear setup and it's not obvious you do nothing and you just wait for 20 minutes to 15 minutes before 4:00 and then you'll get some kind of a 5 to eight maybe sometimes 10 handle run"
Market Function & Psychology
Why Market Rallies
"it does not Rally because smart money bought it does not Rally because smart money has more buying pressure it rallies because it's rallying it's designed and it's coded to do so"
Draw on Liquidity
"the focus is over here this is the draw on liquidity where the Market's going to be pulled to why why should it go up there because there's buy side up there buy stops willing buyers to buy at a higher price when it's down here think about that that's the life essence of these markets"
Market Seeking Behavior
"it's going to where the orders are and inefficiencies so the Market's going to seek liquidity and fair value constantly it's always this EB and flow between the two it's constantly trying to facilitate the most efficient model of delivery for Price that's the function of these price engines"

Fair Value Gap Behavior
"the difference between this candle's low and this candle's high is a Cy sell-side balance buyid and efficiency that's the classification of this particular fair value Gap meaning it only offered sell side so to be repriced correctly and have an efficient fair value offered to the marketplace between this candle's low and this candle's High it will want to reprice price up to it"
Repricing vs Rebalancing
"it is not rebalanced because it did that that's not rebalancing it's repricing when it leaves this range then it is balanced then it's likely to support price where it doesn't need to go back down there so that's the only distinction I'm going to make"
