Why I Needed Something Simpler

At that stage, I stopped wanting to simply collect strategies.

I wanted to understand the market.

I started looking at charts differently.

Instead of asking:

“Which strategy should I use?”

I started asking:

“What is actually happening here?”

Why did price move from this area?

Why did it react here?

Why did it continue there?

Where could significant participation be happening?

What causes a move to become strong?

What happens before a major movement?

What happens after it?

And most importantly:

What is the logic behind the candle I'm looking at?

I started collecting observations.

Comparing movements.

Studying different timeframes.

Testing ideas.

Reviewing my mistakes.

Going back to charts.

Studying again.

And again.

And again.

I wasn't looking for a magic indicator.

I was looking for a way to make the market make sense.
