  • Candles show OHLC; line charts hide the journey.
  • Trends are HH/HL up, LH/LL down, mixed = range.
  • A trendline needs 3 touches to be real. Two is a hypothesis.
  • A break + retest is the strongest signal. A break alone is half a signal.
  • Channels: trendline + parallel rail. Trade either rail.
  • Levels are zones, not lines. The zone is where price reacts.
  • Broken support becomes resistance — and vice versa.
  • Confluence makes a level strong: prior swings + round numbers + MA proximity stack.
  • A reversal violates structure; a pullback respects it.
  • A reversal candle's power is its location, not its shape.
  • Early-trend pullbacks are buyable. Late-trend pullbacks aren't.
  • Pick the timeframe that answers your question, not the one that confirms your bias.
