Field notes
Short pieces on level ranking, ASX opens, retests, and checklists you can still use mid-session.
-
When a horizontal level earns its place on the chart
Not every prior high deserves ink. Here is how we teach traders to rank touches, closes, and failed breaks before committing a line.
-
Mapping ASX opens without inventing overnight noise
The Australian open can print sharp wicks. Separate auction noise from levels that still matter on the daily chart.
-
Retests that fail: reading the second visit
A clean break invites a retest. The candle that returns to the level often decides whether the break was real.
-
A short mapping checklist you will still use mid-session
Long checklists get abandoned when the candle is about to close. Five ordered questions fit on one sticky note.
-
Daily levels versus intraday noise on the same instrument
A level that matters on the daily chart can be invisible on a five-minute view. Match your lines to the timeframe you manage risk on.
