Method

Written before the move, graded after it

Every article names its levels up front and states what would prove it wrong. Signals carry an entry, a stop and at least one target with the structure behind them. Macro articles map a data print to specific prices. EA articles carry code, not vibes.

  • Levels, not opinions. If a number appears, it came from this session's data.
  • Invalidation is mandatory. A level that would kill the idea is stated before entry.
  • Risk first. Stop distance sets position size — never the reverse.
