LESSON 1 | CORE VIDEO
Some trade rooms and mentors state that risk should be no more than 1-2% of an account as standard
practice. This is often referred to as a strategy to “stay in the game”. Risk depends on experience, type of trade
being taken, etc.
Your risk should be different based on the individual and the current level in trading career. This is a new
system you are learning so how should you begin gaining experience? SIMULATED TRADING (SIM)
HOW DO YOU GET TO THE POINT WHERE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING?
▪ Training: Must watch some videos and maybe execute orders at the same time.
▪ Mentorship: This can be a shortcut as your mentor can save you from a misguided route. A mentor
should not be for everything. This does not circumvent “Training” or “Education”. You want a mentor
that provides Wisdom and not Bullshit. There is no hand holding and it is selfish to consider this asset
as a resource that will baby you.
▪ EXPERIENCE: This is extremely important, and you should note the 10,000-HOUR RULE. Nothing
beats the step of gaining experience. There are ways to shorten the time to gain experience such
as doing Market Replay (MR) on 10X speed.
PAGE 3
LESSON 1 | CORE VIDEO (CONTINUED)
▪ Limit Time: A trading session is 60 to 90 minutes. Don’t have the 9 to 5 syndrome as a trader. Have a
business mindset. Make use of an Alexa to keep track of the time quickly and easily for you.
The purpose of limiting the number of trades and time in the market is to limit your exposure and increase
the quality of the trades you take. Vinny’s max loss per day is kept to 5% as a general rule.

LESSON 1 | CORE VIDEO (CONTINUED)
RISK MANAGEMENT
There are 2 standard ATMs employed. This is the basic explanation, and they will evolve as experience is
gained to include “Runners” and stop placements. This will be expanded upon as the education and training
progresses.
Protect your Stop Loss and the market should not touch it. THIS IS A HARD STOP. Strategies learned in the
education will help you learn where ideal stop placement is. We are working off letting Target 1 and Target 2
paying us. This is basic of basic. The video shows how to enter a basic ATM strategy and the link below
provides detail from NinjaTrader 8.
NJ ATM Link:
https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/NT%20HelpGuide%20English.html?advanced_trade_manag
ement_atm.htm
Average Stop is ~6 to 8 ticks. Average winner is ~10 ticks. Stop Loss management is crucial and will
evolve over time with training, education, input from mentor……Experience.
PAGE 5
LESSON 1 | CORE VIDEO (CONTINUED)
▪ As a beginner, once your 60-to-90-minute session is complete…. switch to Simulated Trading. Get in
your time and don’t be lazy.
▪ Trade well, execute well, and don’t concentrate on a specific static risk percentage. If you want a
number, it is 5%. ▪
▪ The market has a Cadence. Great days are followed by bad days. If you have a great day, be cautious
and on guard. Focus on a specific day.
▪ You can multiple sessions per day if you have at least a 2.5-hour break in-between.
▪ There are 31 Proverbs in the Bible. Wisdom in this section will aid you through the journey.

ORDER OF OPERATIONS
▪ Need to be aware of and understand market STRUCTURE first.
▪ Structure is one of the most important things. Everybody knows common ones such as flag, wedge,
turtle, etc.
OPTIMIZING EDGE
▪ Once a week, a grid is released in the room for an optimization process. This provided table gives the
“best guess” for instruments and period.
Vinny has a max time he wants to be in a trade of 20 minutes. This chart is full of additional data and can be
used to show instruments you may consider based on time.

ADDITIONAL VIDEOS
1. HOW TO FIND OPTIMIZED WEEKLY RANGES FOR THE WAVE CHART IN DISCORD FOR ALGOBOX.
00:00 Intro
00:05 Using Curtis G's awesome instructions to start the video.
00:16 Click the search bar in Discord and type as follow.
00:47 A list of all previous !ranges will pop up posted by Vinny.
01:16 View the dates and choose the one you are looking for. Ranges are updated usually on late Sunday
evenings to early Monday mornings.
01:22 Make note of the Period range and change it on the Wave chart.
01:25 Click anywhere on the chart and start typing the range followed by "R" then enter.
01:35 Your range will be updated if done correctly as shown.
01:48 If you are a premium member, you can just find the ranges in the channel "prem-members-only".
2. THERE ARE ALSO VIDEOS ON MAX ADVERSE EXCURSION (MAE). THIS MAY ALSO HELP YOU CHOOSE
THE INSTRUMENTS TO TRADE. IN THE BEGINNING, KEEP IT SIMPLE AND FOCUS ON THE PERIOD AND
AVERAGE TIME IN MARKET.
36:00 MAE is the heat value (convert $ to ticks) that you experience when in a position. Only consider the
MAE of your winning trades to optimize for which trades are the highest probability.
38:45 Advanced momentum stop, if the avg MAE of winning trades is 10 for a series of trades, and the
position goes to 12 ticks of heat, then the position is most likely going to get fully stopped out at 25 ticks,
so either close out immediately or if the position comes back to 7 ticks, close it out for a smaller loss or
look for a reversal. If doing this, never hold the position back to point of entry hoping for a break even.
45:00 This does not apply to J-hook since it has a wider stop.
50:00 This needs to be done per instrument, and you must filter out the losers.
55:00 ES is 12.5 per tick so 150 MAE is 12 ticks (12*12.50).
1:06:00 Maximize winner by adding to position when price pulls back but less than MAE of winners.
3. TOP DAY TRADING TECHNIQUES: WHY TIME CHARTS ARE USELESS? LEARN DAY TRADING SKILLS
THAT MATTER.

LESSON 2 | CORE VIDEO (CONTINUED)
MAIN CHARTS
We will be using Range and Algo Bars. There are 4 primary charts but the 3 that will be discussed are the Tide,
Wave, and Ripple. This is called the triple screen. We need multiple timeframes.
PAGE 9
LESSON 2 | CORE VIDEO (CONTINUED)
▪ The higher timeframes can be used but Vinny doesn’t like the stress of holding overnight.
THERE ARE NUMEROUS VIDEOS AND SCREENSHOT EXAMPLES OF VARIOUS STRATEGIES AND
STRUCTURES IN THE DISCORD CHANNEL. THESE SHOULD BE STUDIED AND PRACTICED SEEING IN REAL-
TIME ONCE EDUCATION ADVANCES.
STRUCTURE EXAMPLE
(Timestamp 55:40) This will be covered in more detail at a later time.

PAGE 15
LESSON 3 | CORE VIDEO (CONTINUED)
▪ Anytime we are going against the TIDE, we are looking for quick trades with smaller risk. We want to
trade our biggest trades with the TIDE.
▪ As a beginning, it is recommended to trade with the direction of the TIDE. Can change once experience
is gained.
PAGE 16
LESSON 3 | CORE VIDEO (CONTINUED)
We want to move from TIDE to WAVE to final filter of MACV, then the decision on entry locations ends on the
RIPPLE.
RIPPLE CHARTS
▪ 2, 5, 8 (AlgoBars). 2 and 5 default.
PAGE 17
LESSON 3 | CORE VIDEO (CONTINUED)
▪ If the TIDE and the WAVE are red, the green line is not as significant.
These are evolving scenario and you must make decisions quickly. TIDE, WAVE, FILTER, Enter RIPPLE. This is
the part that must be practiced. Decisions must be made fast. Tom Dante showed the process of making fast
decisions. This will improve with practice. AlgoBox organizes the data to allow an increase in the decision-
making process, but it must be practiced.
▪ Initially as a new trader, don’t go against the AlgoBox directional daily trend filter. As you get more
advanced, you can trade against this.
PAGE 19
LESSON 3 | CORE VIDEO (CONTINUED)
TRADING TIMES
▪ Favorable direction is less reliable in the morning. Need to use the Triple Filter/Algo Matrix to
determine bias.
▪ If you have done well on 5 trades, may look for a big trade from the 11:00 to 12:30 area.
▪ Vinny likes the 2:00 to 4:00 Session. Looks to take first afternoon trades around 2:30 to 2:40.
▪ Vinny does not recommend new traders trading the Asia/European session US overnight. WARNING.
***VINNY COVER THE OVERNIGHT SESSION AT 56:00 IN THE VIDEO. AGAIN, HE DOES NOT RECOMMEND
FOR NEW TRADERS.
PAGE 20
LESSON 3 | CORE VIDEO (CONTINUED)
REINFORCING TIMING
▪ The Small, Medium, Large, and King timing vertical lines are shown on the chart. They are also
projected to the right so we can stalk potential trades. The larger moves come off the King timing.

LESSON 4 | CORE VIDEO
▪ Note taking is crucial. Post them for feedback. This is a process and take time to digest the information.
▪ We are children in this part of the process. However, it must be practiced. Even for the veteran traders,
this style is different than what you may be accustomed to. Must Practice.
▪ There are 2 groups….Dreamers and Planners. Planners make the Dreams come true.
▪ Most people won’t do the work. Trust your MENTOR. If Vinny says or recommends something…. Don’t
think you as a child has a better idea.

PRACTICE
Michael Jordan missed many shots on his way to greatness. He didn’t give up and practiced with
determination and an attitude that nothing would stand in his way. Do you have what it takes?
PAGE 23
LESSON 4 | CORE VIDEO (CONTINUED)
PRACTICE INCREASES:
▪ Reaction Time
▪ Click Rate
▪ Recognition Time
Vinny gives the example of a baseball player putting bat donut on a baseball bat while in the warmup deck.
Once these are removed, the bat feels lighter. This is the importance of Market Replay. You are warming up
before the live action takes place. This is a crucial step.
PAGE 24
LESSON 4 | CORE VIDEO (CONTINUED)
▪ The market is like riding a bull. You cannot predict all the moves and gyration. You WILL fall off.
▪ We need to get on the trade, get your pay, get off safely, and live to trade again. This is what a
professional trader does.

21 EMINI ADVANTAGES
1. The Major US tax advantage keeps a LOT of profits in your pocket
2. No PDT Rules.... ever
3. Discount Broker Commissions
4. Leverage built into the instruments
5. Automatic limiting of trading Universe (not chasing filtering thousands of stocks, names, etc.)
6. Time efficiency - Never building bull/bear/gap watchlists
7. Movement - like gears on a car each instrument has a unique speed and characteristic that can be
easily learned with the shortest amount of time
8. No position size calculations or errors
9. Ticks - Frankly, trading in ticks is simpler in many ways for short term or long-term targets
10. Tick Values are always set: 5$, 10$, 12.50$, etc.
11. Overnight is only 1 hour / Market open 23/5
12. News Event Management - simplicity - No individual stock news, earnings reports, CEO news,
patent, lawsuit, individual instrument risk ... Mostly scheduled News events with limited events to
be looking to for major movers or upsets / RISK
13. Coding in Ticks is MUCH simpler
14. Thinking in terms of contract counts is simple math a 7-year-old can do... 1 contract, 2 contract, 10
contracts, etc.... Also, a Coding plus here for looping and size management... Putting on size and
taking off size is +1 -1 style management
15. Foreign currency pairs can be accessed via a simple contract count in the same way as other
commodities and indexes
16. Data Feed prices - so low it's ridiculous
17. Centralized exchanges - no dark pools, no bad actor brokerage tricks, no HFT arbitrage, see
everyone who's in play, spoofing and tracking rule protections, etc.
18. Small Account sizes - SOOO many advantages here I could go on for hours. If you view trading as
a business model as I do and teach... the lowest cost of entry, overhead costs, personnel costs,
equipment, building, etc. and with no PDT account size limits.... with great Tools and Strategies,
you can do a LOT with a little. Very good place for a trader to make a living if choosing trading as
a career path... This instrument class is #1 for a reason
19. No Time Decay - Options also has leverage advantage and small account size but other major
disadvantages with time decay being a major
20. Short Anything - never worry about whether you can borrow shares with your broker or having
shares available. You can ALWAYS short a future with no hassle. This is inherent to the
instruments themselves. Making money in both directions daily has many advantages in and of
itself. Literally can make money in any market condition
21. Halts - are EXTREMELY rare. In my 10-year career, I've literally never had one affect my trading
(knocking on wood and now that I've said it... it will likely happen tomorrow)
PAGE 42
LESSON 5 | CORE VIDEO (CONTINUED)
FUTURES 60/40 U.S. TAX ADVANTAGE DETAILS: While stocks are taxed at the 35% short-term capital gains
rate for positions held less than a year, futures are taxed 60/40. This means that while 40% of your gains in
futures trading is taxed at the same 35% rate as short-term stock trading, 60% of your gains are taxed at the
long-term capital gains rate of 15%!
TRADE SIZING
This is something that must be learned in Market Replay. This is a must and Vinny can’t tell you since the risk
profile from trader to trader differs.

13:00 - When trading dots, take off half the position when an opposing dot appears. If the opposing dot
pierces, then reenter.
21:00 - In market replay, skip to a specific time by right clicking, and select “Go to”.
24:30 - Make your decisions on the higher time frames and executions on the lower ones. If Tide is rising, and
there is a green signal on the wave, then look for long entries on the ripples.
28:00 - The reasoning for executing on ripple time frames is because you take the least amount of heat
(adverse movement) for the largest potential gain. If you are trying to capture 100 ticks in a single move, you
can do this by executing on higher time frames, but remember that with increased reward comes massively
increased risk. Also on higher time frames, there are less trading opportunities so choose between bigger and
less, or smaller and more.
29:00 After the 3rd dot appears, look for a reversal.
35:00 If you want bigger trades, just increase the bar size, this works if you understand fractals/fib numbers.
37:00 Look for multi fib level cross over with Large and King timings before taking an entry signal.
39:30 Darvis boxes; should be roughly symmetrical.
42:00 Don’t stack stops, use mental stops, and build positions with multiple clicks, like an algo.
49:00 - Use optimized periods to find the best range bars to use for each market. If average time in market is
extremely low like 2 mins, then gear shift to slower markets.

6:00 - Main advantage of Forex over Futures was micro contracts with reduced risk. This is no longer the case.
9:00 - AlgoBox integrates harmonics and draws them in real time. The RGSBn(inf) buttons at the top of the
chart allows platinum members to automatically take dot entries. N stands for next n dots, or select infinite
for all.
17:00 - Darvis boxes: Measure from the beginning and end of a dot pattern or harmonic or impulse leg. You
need two sets of fib levels to see a Darvis box as they are the crossover points of the timing lines.
21:30 - Minimum 5 points of confluence for each dot.
23:00 - Always looking for a reversal, even on a continuation play, because pinpoint entries lead to minimal
heat and max reward, i.e., the most efficient trade.
28:00 - Volume profile used only for targets. Look for ‘zones’
28:30 - Dr. Seuss entry: 1 fish 2 fish red fish blue fish. This is an ideal reversal pattern, where 1 or 2 red and
blue bars form a V. (Combine this with other patterns of confluence)
32:00 - Anticipate one bar at a time, increase range for higher risk/reward. 1 tick - 1 range. Tide range is
typically 4x Wave.
42:00 - Track your 5 trades a day with a vision board. Replace a salary with $500 a day. Aim for 14-6 Win/Loss
days per month.
45:00 - Consider not trading on Fridays, if you do be Early in, Early out, due to outsized risk potential on quad
witching days which refers to the 3rd Friday in March, June, September, December when contract rollover
results in lots of volatility and extreme arbitrage. If you are losing, understand why and learn from it instead
of blindly trading.
47:00 - Contract rollover bucket analogy, drain the old contract, fill the other.
50:00 - VL 1,2,3 are support resistance levels that are based on relative volume.
52:30 - Don’t trade without considering OOO, best beginner strategies are 2 finger salute and double dot.
56:00 - Thoroughly watch videos in the first 40 days and pick out two strategies to learn. Know every minute
detail of the strategy as Vinny will test you on it on the first call.
57:00 - The nuance of the 2-finger salute is the location of the ‘arm’. Don’t trade a 2 finger inside a flag pattern,
unless you reverse it, where there is a 20-tick edge.
1:03:00 - Execute perfect practice.
1:05:00 - Once live: Start with 2500, double it to 5k. Add 2 more strategies, get to 8k, trade any strategy. Do
not trade J-hook with a small account. Don’t start on a contract rollover day, or quarterly earnings report days.
Don’t try to reverse on those days as price tends to overextend.
1:09:00 - AlgoBox is the best ROI franchise with a 10k starting cost.

18:00 - The shell of the turtle looks like a cup and handle to most. A lot of people are getting rekt in this
pattern. Add a straight neck and it turns into a big reversal.
28:00 - This pattern could take a long time to develop since the profit target is at the top of the shell. Move
up stops to the lowest pivot point of the green dots (if long). Obvious exit on the red double dot (at the top
of the shell).
36:00 - 2-4 for toe in the water, 8 for half position, 16 for full position (confident entry and timing working
with you).
43:30 - Down 2FS into the gold ropes on NQ higher time frame, enter long on blue dot on lower time frame.
*You don’t need the entry signal to appear on the same time frames to qualify as confluence. (Beauty of
fractals).
45:00 - First target at the back of the 2FS, exit at opposite bank of the golden river. Be careful if this pattern
fails and price breaks the intermediate low, price will be attracted to the volume line below. Could turn into a
middle finger pattern.
47:00 - xQ in lunchbot upper left means max quantity.
57:30 - Seasonality: Day of week, hour of day, season/quarter of year.
58:40 - Cycles: Every 8-10 years there is a downturn.

36:00 - MAE is the heat value (convert $ to ticks) that you experience when in a position. Only consider the
MAE of your winning trades in order to optimize for which trades are the highest probability.
38:45 - Advanced momentum stop, if the avg MAE of winning trades is 10 for a series of trades, and the
position goes to 12 ticks of heat, then the position is most likely going to get fully stopped out at 25 ticks, so
either close out immediately or if the position comes back to 7 ticks, close it out for a smaller loss or look for
a reversal. If doing this, never hold the position back to point of entry hoping for a break even.
45:00 - This does not apply to J-hook since it has a wider stop.
50:00 - This needs to be done per instrument, and you must filter out the losers.
55:00 - ES is 12.5 per tick so 150 MAE is 12 ticks (12*12.50).
1:06:00 - Maximize winner by adding to position when price pulls back but less than MAE of winners.

2. Harmonidot
3. Harmonic + FibElliDot
This is a multi-confluence strategy. One of the keys of this strategy is the high visibility.
GO WITH THE COLOR OF THE DOT!
We are focused in on the PRZ, which can be one of three colors: Green (Long Reversal), Red (Short
Reversal), or Gold. Gold (Direction is not determined).
PAGE 108
STRATEGY VIDEOS (CONTINUED)
Within the PRZ, we are looking for the dot. Pay attention to the dot colors. In order of Power…Blue >
Bright Green > Dark Green. Pink is most powerful short dot.
Stop is at the break of the dot and NOT the PRZ box.
PAGE 109
STRATEGY VIDEOS (CONTINUED)
Pay attention to the ATM’s. When a trade is initiated, the SL will be 10 to 15 Ticks. However, when the dot
is broken, close the trade. We use the close button. Don’t mess around with moving the stop tag.
The TP levels we are looking for are dependent on the chart level the strategy appears. Level 3 is the in-
between area. Vinny defaults to Small on Level 3. The tag can be dragged out.
PAGE 110
STRATEGY VIDEOS (CONTINUED)
If price breaks the dot and you manually close, you can re-enter. KEEP THE SAME STOP! If the second time
fails, MOVE ON. It is no longer an HMD if the dot pops.
You will find examples of real-world examples in the education section in the Discord room.

5:00 - White crosses represent order flow, enter on dot with cross
7:00 - Stop goes behind the cross
9:00 - ATM review
12:40 - Cross has to be within 2-3 bars of the dot location, exit on opposing signals
15:20 - One tick wonder
21:30 - PRZ target at the line trading against favorable direction, price bounces off.
25:20 - Blue headshot with favorable direction, prime example of a trade to maximize.
28:00 - HMD headshot and King timing headshot examples, exit runners on green dot.

Same rules apply for TP levels as discussed in other videos. Looking for small targets in Level 1 and Level 2.
10 ticks, 15 ticks, and runners. Level 5 and 8 looking for the large ATM. Vinny often uses the small ATM and
adjusts his targets.
PAGE 115

We are on the 2’s. Longs are Favorable. This would be the small ATM and can go for the 25 ticks.

2:30 - Cluster reversal: 3 or more crosses side by side, following a straight impulse leg.
3:10 - Stops and targets determined by time frame.
6:20 - Upon entry, give the position some room to breathe, then tighten the stop to the back of the crosses.
8:30 - Failed cluster due to tiny impulse leg. Stay away unless there is a large clean impulse leg.
9:00 - Entry should be as close to the center of the cluster as possible. 2 try rule.
9:25 - This is actually order flow coming in, a powerful strategy.
11:20 - Like delta flags, this pattern can be predicted ahead of time, making it easier to execute well. Headshots
may have better R/R, but require precise execution, and it is a lagging indicator not a predictive one like
harmonics.
14:40 - Big red delta on double green diamond PRZ.
18:00 - DCDM short inside a green HMD. Stop trading at
10:05 normally.
19:00 - Cluster on King timing for a power up
24:00 - Jan 26th & 27th were candy days, predicted with econoday calendar

Once the vertical line changes colors, we want to wait 8 bars to ensure the change. The area in between is
a no bias zone.
Vinny goes over examples. We are not going to close once we get a new vertical line of a different color.

6:30 - Shady trades in the shade (gray area), small targets only
9:30 - Don’t trade during Christmas (red/green shifts back-to-back)
13:00 - MAC-V entry on the 8th bar after a color shift, allows for bigger size.
17:00 - Patch windows with .NET 4.8 Framework, DL NT8, DL Algobox for best performance.
22:00 - 4 contract 10-15-25-S6-5 Auto ATM. As the trade moves 6 ticks in your direction we are already locking
in profits, and automatically set break even to 6 ticks.
26:50 - Higher time frame analysis, your highest time frame is the most accurate. Don’t trade if you’re not
sure.
29:30 - The left most column on the AlgoMatrix dictates the favorable direction.
30:30 - Never take entries off higher time frames; too much heat
35:20 - When Tide enters the golden ropes, great reversal opportunities off Bollinger bands.
40:00 - How to use higher time frame charts, reversal opportunity at 2 PM
42:00 - Order of Operations Simplified Latest entry signal on the Tide Latest entry signal on the Wave Use Big
ATMs if entry signals go with the Tide and Wave Use Small ATMs if entry goes against
45:00 - Books program you for failure because 80% of trading is done algorithmically and they are designed
to exact money from retail traders.
46:00 - Common sense makes cents but loses you $$$
51:00 - Some days you can make your yearly salary at a regular job. Risk comes from ignorance.
1:00:00 - Futures have built in leverage, max 40 contracts or 20k, beats 25k required for PDT.

Trades inside the shade are shady. You can take trades inside the shade but need to stick with Target 1 and

5:30 - Trading notes and rules: Continuation pattern, trap retail traders, visual, do not trade the neck.
9:00 - If your data is messed up, make sure your computer time is synced.
12:00 - Full pattern consists of feet, shell, neck, head (entry zone). Looks like a bouncing ball.
14:00 - This is a bear trap pattern for traders who get short after the neck move. Never trade the neck. Wait
for it to pull back and a dot entry, then Target 1 at the top of the head. Set a runner and hold as long as
possible with MACV
17:00 - Stop at the bottom of the shell, make sure it is not a flag.
21:00 - Entry on the bounce off golden ropes on Wave, with no overhead resistance on higher time frame,
expectation of price moving further down from PRZ on Ripple. Size in 20 contracts on 8 Candybars
24:30 - Always look for reasons that might go against the trade. Set target 1 at the head unless there is a PRZ
underneath.
30:00 - Look at volume profile zones for the ‘sweet spot’, read Trading for a Living, and Douglas’s 4-part
seminar in the #Documentary section in Discord.
31:00 - Dragon is Turtle with a long tail, the head bounces off EMA
32:00 - Took partial profits due to beehive on 2s touching blue Darvis box, look to re-add if price comes back
down.
33:00 - ES has a Salmon HMD, tighten stops. Correlated markets tend to move together on a trending day.
33:30 - In the first 10-20 mins if the NQ and YM are moving opposite each other, it will be a sideways day.
Otherwise, they will most likely trend.

6:00 - Big reversal at 11:05, most commonly between 11:00 and 11:30 there will be a big pivot point
7:20 - Look for a trap + J-hook off the Algobars, you can this hold until close, for a 5-6 figure day.
8:20 - Look for a setup on the Wave.
11:30 - J-hook at beast mode hour (11:30) with a double dot entry (no heat) precision add/entry
13:40 - In hindsight there was a valid up 2FS on the wave.
