First Presented FvGs
Here's him saying you should have the last two Mondays and Fridays of First Presented FvGs:

“But hasn't taken the relative equal lows out, and then returns back up to those very specific First Presentations from Friday or Monday, that is many times utilized as a catalyst to then run for that liquidity.”
Timestamp 01:04:11
“I've talked about that before. I've talked about using Friday's opening range gap and carrying that forward and previous, correct me if I'm wrong Pipmunch, the last two weeks previous whatever week you're trading on, you want the Friday and the Monday of the last two weeks. You want those.”
Timestamp 01:06:32
"And the market has traded down below Friday's First Presentation or previous Monday's First Presentation, because Monday could be lower than last Friday."

“I’ve talked about it. I've talked about that before. I've talked about using Friday's opening range gap and carrying that forward and previous, correct me if I'm wrong Pipmunch, the last 2 weeks previous whatever week you're trading on, you want the Friday and the Monday of the last 2 weeks. You want those.
And by utilizing those you can literally just trade volatility. That means you can trade without a bias.
And if you can see a smaller time frame, like 1 minute or sub 1 minute pool of liquidity, like relative equal highs/relative equal lows and price is moving lower but hasn't taken the relative equal lows out, and then returns back up to those very specific First Presentations from Friday or Monday, that is many times utilized as a catalyst to then run for that liquidity.
And you're trading without a bias.
You're just looking at intraday small time frame pools of liquidity, and you can do that all day long, up down, up down, up down, and then it's a very liberating thing when you practice like that.
Because it doesn't force you into ‘I have to know the bias.’ When you just need to look at ‘What is it likely to give me right now, and can it give me 15 to 20 handles?’
And if you walked outside and you had a $100 bill, you know down every step of your front of your house, would you pick it up or would you walk past it? You pick it up. So this is one way for you to go into the market and start looking for it without having a model, just simply looking for volatility and then running to small short-term little pools of liquidity.”

“When we return back to a normal type of market where we're not seeing this crazy breakneck speed volatility, what you can do is if you're bearish say you're looking for a significant low on a daily or weekly chart.
And the market has traded down below Friday's First Presentation or previous Monday's First Presentation, because Monday could be lower than last Friday. So whatever one's closer in proximity to market price, if you're trading in the first hour of trading - that first dealing range - that means 9:30 Eastern time to 10:30 Eastern time.
Many times it'll return back to that and that'll give you the catalyst to sell off for a longer-term daily or short-term, or one-shot one kill is what I used to do, where you got to be comfortable holding overnight.
And if you're not comfortable doing that, you know, it isn’t gonna work for you. But many times you'll see those actually being the first catalyst to send price in that favor of higher time frame draw, like the daily or weekly.
So it's a real simple approach to utilize. It's not complex, but it requires market conditions to be useful.”
