Field Notes
Short pieces on candle structure, failed patterns, and reading habits for active traders.
Stand-aside drills that save more than entries
Timed exercises where the correct answer is no trade — building the muscle that pattern posters never train.
Dojis at round numbers: signal or superstition
Indecision candles magnetise attention near whole figures — a checklist before you treat them as turning points.
Engulfing bars that never really engulf
Shallow covers and outside bars without follow-through — how to audit dual-bar reversal claims.
When a hammer is only furniture
Lower wicks look persuasive until you measure them against the prior impulse and the session’s location.
These notes support our lessons; they are not a substitute for timed drills with an instructor present.
