Field notes
Short guides on marking ranges, waiting for revisits, and writing rules you can actually follow.
Journal phrases that hide mid-range entries
Words like ‘momentum’ and ‘looked strong’ often disguise buying the middle of a range.
Stops that sit inside the range are wishes
If your stop would be hit while the range thesis is still intact, the stop is in the wrong place.
Second revisits and why the first touch often fails
The first tap of a fresh edge is frequently a stop run. Waiting for a second look is a structural habit, not hesitation.
When a pause is not a range
Higher highs inside a ‘box’ usually mean you are marking a pullback, not a tradeable range.
