[Music] Hello everyone and welcome back to this Spanish trading course on institutional trading my name is gonzalo and in this video we are going to see an introduction to the concept of liquidity and it accumulates liquidity found within the markets and we can do it We can find it through the price graphs this that I have open in particular is a graph of bitcoin prices and putting its approximate value in dollars in a digital currency similar to the dollar is what I know about you, which is a currency that follow the value of the dollar and in this market we can buy bitcoins if we have you or sell bitcoins and receive you in exchange then liquidity is the amount of orders or the amount of money or material or bitcoin or assets What is in a certain price for example imagine that you want to buy it at viktoria the bit with the price that is that it looks small I will try to make it bigger and you want to buy it at current price what are 60 thousand 500 999 and you want to buy spend a total of a thousand dollars worth to buy bitcoin so what you do not know is if there are orders in the market for the value of a thousand order of thousand dollars I think I want to sell bitcoin At the same price, so that you can buy bitcoins, a thousand dollars would have another person on the other side of the market who would like to sell you those thousand dollars in bitcoins, because if not, yes, no, if no, if there is no offer, you cannot access that market. For example, if the cars of a model run out in the market that expects more to be manufactured to be able to buy here , the same thing happens if there is no one who wants to sell bitcoin so that they can buy and on the other hand if you want to sell bitcoins for example to 62 thousand that is 58 thousand or better said to 62 thousand dollars if you want to sell the bitcoins at 62 thousand dollars as it is a very high price because it is possible that there is no one willing to buy Buy them at that price there is no liquidity that yes I know liquidity and liquidity also in practical terms is the amount of an asset which is not going to move the price because when because what happens when you place an order for an amount if that amount runs out if that price runs out, the asset runs out and your amount of was higher than what the market does is go to the next price level and take out the remaining assets for example if we have if we want to buy 60 thousand dollars 10 bitcoins and there are only 5000 with 60 thousand because they will give you 5 seen in 60 thousand when you place the order and it will rise for example to 62 thousand 100 and from there they will begin to give you what remains of our order of your order and that is how the Markets in general, here on the right you have this table which is the order book, it is worth the team in the derby, but well, it is the order book and the order book shows the amount of one of an asset to different Before prices and what we have here is in the book order, which is the order book, we have that right now the last price is bitcoin was 60 thousand 668 with 24 dollars each bitcoin and up here we have the different prices higher than the average and the different prices lower than the average and this makes up the order book what does that mean by then what does that mean what does that mean that we would have to go to the top which is this here which is where the selling prices are at the prices that we can buy and if we wanted to sell we had to go to the bottom which is where the buying prices are and we only specify those that we can sell because at the prices that people are willing to buy then if we now want to buy 5 bitcoins we want to buy 5 bitcoins this is the this column is where is the number of bitcoins that there are for each price and this column is the price at which it is willing to people sell that amount then what happens if we look at this row below here if we wanted to buy 5 bitcoins they would sell us there would be a total of 22 87 12 871 bitcoins at a price of 60,000 and 682 dollars and then the rest that we would have that it would be approximately another 278 more or less and 2.78 more approximately bitcoins at a price of the next level of the order book 60 thousand and 60 thousand 682 0 99 cents more expensive it is worth and this is the liquidity this was here is the liquidity in the amount that there is The price level of the asset here is worth if we wanted to sell because we have to do the same calculations but with the bottom part that are the order book of the people who are willing to buy, it is worth what price they are willing to buy in what amounts and up here how willing are they to sell in what amounts and that is what liquidity is then what happens as I said that when liquidity ends for example For example, here there is 138 thousand dollars of liquidity at this price since there are 147 thousand dollars of liquidity at this price to buy peaks that are not equivalent to the 2 with 2 871 or 22 45 425 that are here in fact we would end the two levels of liquidity Now that I see it and I am seeing it and we would have to go to the next level of liquidity to finish because two with four plus two with two are 4.6 and the casio would be 0.4 at this price we have to take that is the liquidity for that We say that liquidity constitutes the amount of an asset that can be traded at a price level without that price changing because the price changes because in the order book there are different prices for different quantities. a little more graphs and to comment on some details in the first place what I would like to comment is that the price does not necessarily depend on liquidity and it is an important aspect because many times it is assumed that That a price of a certain asset will always depend on the liquidity in the market, that is, if there is more liquidity, less liquidity will increase the price and if there is more liquidity, the price will rise and that does not have to be the case at all, for example yes, if we go to this graph, if we go to this graph, if we look at the bottom of the graph, let me underline it for you, this part here, this is the volume, the volume, is the number of the amount of assets that has been Not traded then, notice that the volume is not necessarily direct, it does not have an exactly direct relationship with the price. was much higher than all the times that the price was rising that volume was lower than this when it fell that is to say that a higher volume achieved a price drop and was not He would have more sales volume than himself because when there is a sale it means that someone is buying when one buys it means that he is selling well the next thing we are going to see is where the liquidity is located within the graphs because that is the way we are going to follow the price evolution a bit and the way in which we are going to prepare ourselves to know where the most important purchase orders are going to be, normally the volumes are at or near the ends of the candles and more specifically they are usually closely related to the swings with the turns that we have talked about on occasion those without jumps those without lows because below these levels is where protection orders are usually placed either through stop-loss orders or directly through rules of regulations of negotiation that are oriented to reduce the to reduce everything that is the [Music] the risk then where we have here the fine v We will see to be like this more or less if we put this in a reduced way we could say more or less that these are the swings at which the price is more or less falling as it begins to rise, we get a vision of the swings that are in these zones and now we are going to see why the price started to rise because the price started to rise or because the price started to fall from those zones because if we had operating as the institutional trader that we follow, who is the only trader who maximizes maximizes the benefit of the speculative speculator the rest we do not care about the institutions we institutional their reasons we operate or we want to operate according to the traders who have perfect knowledge of the market and complete ability to modify its price is worth as they would do it and what they would be doing because we we want to be like them in practical terms and be able to negotiate at the same levels as them They do to maximize our profit as speculators as operators that what interests us to get the maximum possible monetary benefit from a market is worth then our narrative and our story focuses exclusively on what could be that they were doing what seems to happen with those institute operators institutional and institutional that maximize what the speculator benefited and from now on and in the presidents videos I am not going to make this clarification any more so repeatedly but when I refer to institutional I refer to that type of institutions, then because it came down here the price because the price came down here before buying because it was bought here and then bought here because the price was bought from down here and the price would have gone right up to here and it went up right up to here because a trader could see that he decided to accumulate enough orders here purchase as to move the market there to Up and down here for sale to bring down the market here up to here, what was there and for him to do it, how can we see it? enough to understand where the settlement is, we want to enter where there is the large volume of orders that an institutional trader has the ability to move the market wants to bring together and collect to bring the other point to another price level and have a profit well what happens is that as I say the protection orders are usually below the minimums for example when someone buys down here on this red candle or on this green evening puts a stop loss here or down here well a little lower a maximum level of loss that at the moment in which the price falls to that level, it will close the purchase orders because that person or that operator The tendency was to win if the price rose we had been fired to go up and win what happens that when this candle begins to rise occurs we know that it fell from this liquidity candle there are closing volumes that is to say that someone has bought here a buy upwards is perceived downwards will put a sale to get rid of the purchase and I repeat when someone buys here I am not referring to the institutional operator but when someone buys your purchase here because they think the price is going to rise and at a given point that it does not We know what it is and we are interested in right now you will have the idea of selling you will know where you want to sell what happens that that investment you have made if the price starts to drop will have a point where you will want to close it to stop losing worth and it will be below your purchase price normally or at the level of the purchase price or close but usually lower then because of course if you buy and put the closing order where you buy is Very easy that you always want to leave a margin so that prices always move, so you have to leave a little margin if you buy here so that the price fluctuates and does not close the order, also assuming a limited risk not to enter bankrupt well then he [Music] the institutional operator the institutions as they control the market has a perfect knowledge has a perfect knowledge where are those protection sales orders that buyers have used because sales because sales around here sales because sales everything They buy, they put sales, what happens, that constitutes in the end what we have seen before on this page, which is this order. Book is here and what happens, the market, all markets provide this information to operators and not all the market will show you the same all the information that exists in within the command book because many orders that can be put as hidden require If you have that option then you as a user of this market will not see those orders that are hidden, you will only know the ones we have here, they have this order book here but the institutional operator can see them because they have perfect knowledge of the market and if not you can see them, it has the ability to move the price until it finds, like the one who finishes a well, to look for water and find that liquidity that it needs and the price is where it wants, then later because you have that ability to do it then as the markets of What happens that there is an accumulation of what is called and liquidity engineering that is building prices below in a low zone and then being able to rise because what they do is precisely make this type of mouse movements every time the price starts to go up, people buy and put a certain sale here, they make sales, then that sale is added to the next sale, it is added to the next sale. The next sale is added the following protection sales are added that is not executed is a pending market order is not that they sell but they place a pending order that that space goes down the purchase they have made before they have made a purchase another buy another buy and down they put protection positions of sale then at the end that generates a high volume and a great liquidity when the market has already accumulated enough sales, enough liquidity below or what could be said interest has opened in some way is the opposite the Open interest for practical execution effects is open interest that the market makes barrett all these orders here and to him or when I say the market I mean the institutions sweep these operations and move the price to where they want to move it and what they have been doing with it selling here to people at this price at the price you are selling at a price higher than pn we are going to say to a higher price that has been selling they have generated many sales here and now ap - m lower price ap below they take away everything that has sold them more expensively, they buy the institutions and place it where they want moving the price is worth then that's the one that's the basically How do we find liquidity in the markets and how do we take advantage of it? Well, very simple, we go there, what do the institutions do? What do the institutions do is give the operators the feeling that what domestic or retail operators call supports and that is silly because supports do not exist because any price level that you use in the end will sooner or later know there is something that happens it is not because it is a particularly strong level because it holds up because creating this support people look at they see that there are several candles that hit the level and that do not go down any more, they think that this level is a strong level and they begin to buy the institutions immediately after what they do is bring the price lower and in that way all the stop losses here are executed by people who sell them at this cheaper price and buy back the institutions at the cheap price, the next thing they do is the next level From the next level of support here they start to again, you have to create a support, people start buying and what the institutions do is that they automatically drop in the price again, they lower the price again until here and all the tables are loaded and All the stops of losses that were here are loaded, they sweep them with this candle and now here they create another support and it is always the same game that they were another support in reality that is not such because it will not support nothing happens is that the operator less informed gives you the feeling that there is a support because you see this the same in a lower time frame what we want in two candles is this what we see here in two candles in a same time frame this is the same as that marked it the lowest season all people start to buy to buy to buy to buy ok and finally the price rises is here sub be here and now it falls to half and creates a support then what happens Now that people do the same, they buy here and what they do, the market falls and sweeps that level, it sweeps it and closes all the protection orders that were here, it executes them and the market buys them cheaper than anyone else and in the end when they already have enough orders immediately without warning the tools and without warning the price leads practically directly to where I wanted to go, sweeping all those who had been here selling here people seen positions entering sales and now they take and little by little they have swept all buyers and now a bardem of one all those who had short selling positions sweep them all and begin to buy and they begin to sell and buy orders to down here and sales protection buy orders sweep everyone over the price execute all the orders here must buy sell to everyone everything that had been taken from them before from below and that's how it works over and over again the market then we are going to show it again with another example I am going to open the nobel meta tree of what it looks like then that happens continuously this is this is the gold before it was the bitcoin the gold and there is the graph instead of being a day is the five minute chart and exactly the same thing happens here exactly the same without any blush they do it sweep support ok sweep support raises a small sweep support raises create a support this candle does if people are going to believe that it is going to do this really because they will think that these are a candle or anything that the operator does not interest me think that it will happen that they make support they sweep them and thus continuously support sweep support sweep since another support that has not yet swept yet barrier support sweep is worth they are creating they are making people put stops pum pum pum pum shot and they are sweeping them again and again and that is one of the ways to identify liquidity more It is simply that it is when there are highs close to a fairly close level when when the price is moving to one side and there are highs and lows close to it, we know that up here and down here illiquidity three we have that the price before moving was going to sweep up the water sweep down and then it will go up or down ok not always necessarily going to be is the order that is to say that it may do this it arrives so it goes down it goes down through it may be that the price does not do directly go do not do this directly that does not do Directly, this is valid, it may be that you do this when you want to go down, do this for example and go down how can we anticipate because if we are in a market that Normally it rises structurally, it is most likely that this low here we are going to imagine that larger than this low here is the next move to a downward so a small breakout a breakdown below and a rise because we see that in general it is rising the market and that can give us a clue of where it is going , we will see that in more detail but so that you can see why I explain this to you, it is also the market instead of going up as is the case with gold right now that I think He has little left to go up I think that in an hour he will be going down, he will say he is going down because he is going down right now, so we are seeing what is happening here, doing the wings like this, with which we are going to look at where the previous highs are. that there were some maximums, they beat them, there is another maximum, they sweep it, you have to go to the maximum of the auger instead the minimums set the minimums in general, so yes, minimums are created Some highs sweep them away but when the neighborhoods overpriced, that is to say, this no longer does that way, what it is doing is like that, they wait like this and they take maximums while it is falling all the time what they are doing here because the price goes up here because the stops are up here of losses is worth up here are the stops of losses the liquidity the volume is raising the price with volume and it repositiones it and that does it in our narrative our history is done by the institutional trader of the informed trader it is worth because they know where the levels are they create stops of buy here these for sale here are worth going down they execute the sales with which the people who had bought here buy from them and now they sell the entire operator buys it at this price and they place it at a higher price and earn and earn money and that how It works a bit entertaining to explain it so that you can see the dynamics of the process which is then that is the fundamental way of moving from money to money notice that 90 before a rise normally the price will not be if it rises directly what the price does is make a feint of its life so that people buy and then make a sweep and then it rises and when it has to go up to the top about his life that takes pires but to go up there he has created a false floor people have trusted because there will be those who say that this is a shoulder head shoulders I do not know if you have seen this inverted here that for retail operators these are this This is a good bullish pattern because I do not want to go into how they operate it and not because it does not seem to me that if 95% of the people who do this lose money, they have to give them a lot of credit but this is surely here on the time chart 15 minutes if we go to a 5 minute one to see if it gives me data, it is for the server if I do this area here and I go to the one minute to see what to see if it is going to go and stay outside I think it is not They order the data, they must see that the data is February 26 and June 15, so I can't see it because since there is no connection, they load the data over there. they give good data because the case that this type of pattern this type of three- pointed pattern normally I will see it that way just like this one here you will see something similar here you may see a shoulder head shoulder are double or a double ceiling Another pattern that domestic operators use is this come street they believe that there is resistance here because they have seen this repression to fall battle is going to fall well it may be yes then no but anyway when they see the double floor they think this is a support sends the price down and what happens until the double bottom generated and now what does the market start to create a false sensation of the support floor after the double sun and what do people the trader want to do means what makes that when they see that this level more or less or even this level has been broken they begin to buy here they start to buy cars because they do it because I do not know it and that makes markets quite the opposite what they are waiting for to happen and here They have all these of all the stops and above they have all the stops those who want to sell but although they buy they have the stops here and they take them ahead of them, they buy back all this they buy it at a cheaper price than they had already sold, they already move Everything that had brought from above what is going to move below and that is how liquidity in the market will work for you. I believe that it is already quite well explained that you can see a bit that bitcoin taught us, I have taught you gold, I can teach you Whatever it is to see the uss the nasdaq for example here I have the nasdaq I am going to pass here until the stock index is an index of one of the most important companies in the United States and exactly the same, look at it This is important because normally in Spain when we see the ibex that I know that nasdaq is going to enter or in other countries the equivalent that is supposed to be a bit how the economy is in general so if you look at the economy it behaves apparently soil above and ground also created that has swept it here here the ground created double ground upstairs upstairs garrido ground up etc. the general functioning of the markets tends to have a behavior very similar to what it would have if it were simply a field, a field of work for speculators that does not seem to have much to do with the real value of the markets themselves but with purely interest speculative of a [Music] tone of great fortune who can move these prices at will to get the best possible profit if you You see, I am drawing the consecutive floors and consecutive ceilings that are being created, people have the orders and how they go 1 to 1 sweeping them before continuing for how it is an exercise that occurs even in the basket in an entire economy of a country like the United States as In principle the markets use liquidity in that way of any kind this was the index I am going to put the x see that the oil is solvent and well we are going to put it weekly I have no connection this is the monthly this is since 2015 what is seen the same the monthly floor above in this place in here double floor in fact falls in fact from now on falls in fact garrido noise goes up boring and then up again right get on the barrel this here and click which has fallen now to raise the price of the ceiling and this with oil for example but it does not matter is that we are going to the price of any nonsense than of the dollar with respect to the headquarters what was the dollar of if ngapur singapore dollar that you will tell me and I put the graph of a minute because because I can think of putting that one because I don't care which one puts all the same all fractals about what I mean when state that repeats everything differently different scales equally and well no It is as expensive as in others I am going to lower the size of the stroke a little because I am going to change the color okay then the same thing we are going to see floor floor ceiling floor sweep ceiling sweep ceiling up risked the ceiling in fact falling to the floor swept text swept in fact floor that here there are tiny floors that you can see that I will do the same I will mark all of them sweep in fact to take wind new ceiling floor garrido the ceiling floor by garrido the ceiling floor but all the flights in fact to ribó all these others the ceiling this here now goes up roof new floors all the floor to take wind ceiling floor nothing swept ceiling up and falls like this all the time temple stops a Above is, they are smaller moments that do not give much time we are going to simply be a schedule they are closing the markets and it is not seen but it is that it always always always happens the same here it is more more more attractive ok this video is a bit long if you have Understanding the concept, I am not going to explain much more in this video, you can go on to the next one if you want to continue watching because to go showing double floor floors is worth in fact they sweep the floor but the floor is the new floor so that people think that this double floor is a support that makes everything dry down here and where does it go for this roof but it leads to it can continue to lower the ground to take wind so that this ground people start buying they think that what is in fact a strong roof here for the first time does a support the ceiling that they had that is for the sellers sweeps the buyers makes of them and in the end they look at the buyers they were right but it is too late because they are out ok It has taken them all off, let's say that what the market is doing is like, on speculators, they want to throw all the other speculators out of the game. As the price, to the extent that these participants exist, leave their footprints, we tell ourselves that everyone do that but we do that in those who can do it, we look for the footprints of their participation and we identify them in that way so that we can operate together with They are not against them but together with them and in their same direction I will be sharing with them part of that benefit that they have that privileged information indirectly because we follow the path that they are leaving, well I hope that this video has pleased you and that it has been informative and nothing in the following video I am thinking of showing you more precise liquidity structures the main As you have seen, ipal are the highs and lows of previous candles, there are others that we are going to see below that will generally be the order blocks that in English call blog order, which are there are blog sites that are those of michael hudson, then what I will explain some more extended block orders and mitigation blocks, it is also another type of good mitigation blocks and in general what would be imbalances is worth what are called imbalances in English that are like accounting squares that must be adjusted and that it is necessary to fix and mitigations of orders that have been left there with inefficiencies that explain what all this means will be the two most important points of the study of the order blocks and what constitutes the flow of market orders as long as it is always from the institutional point of view in the terms in which we are talking about referring to such institutions according to nothing else I wish very much to all and to all and see you in the next video see you later
