Summary and action plan

Key takeaways

1. Context first: which session, which regime (range or trend), where the day's levels are.
2. Read the delta: does it confirm the move, or does it diverge while price is still advancing?
3. Look for absorption and icebergs at the extremes, at levels that matter.
4. Validate with the heatmap: persistent wall that holds, or fresh wall that pulls?
5. Demand three confluences, otherwise you wait.
6. Manage your risk before thinking about the entry: stop behind the structure, 1% maximum, R:R ≥ 1:2.
7. Keep your journal and replay your sessions in Deep Replay. The process counts, not the day's result.
