Insights
Written by the people who teach the methodology. No signals, no calls, no performance posts — just the reasoning behind how we read a week and manage risk inside it.

Most traders start in the wrong place. They open a chart, drop down to a three or five minute timeframe, and go hunting for something that gives them permission to click buy or sell, a candle pattern, a breakout, a moving average cross. After more than 20 years around financial markets, I can tell you the entry is rarely the part of the trade that matters most. What happens before it does.
“What's your bias, bullish or bearish?” It's the question traders ask constantly, and it's usually asked wrong. A trading bias is not a prediction of where the market has to go. I treat it as permission, a filter that tells me which opportunities deserve my attention and which ones need a lot more evidence before I touch them.
Not every hour of the trading day carries the same information, and that is where a lot of traders go wrong. Markets have rhythm. Liquidity changes. Participation changes. Volatility changes. For most of the markets I trade and teach, the New York open is one of the most important windows of the day, but that does not mean I simply buy or sell the opening breakout. It is closer to the opposite.
You can get the direction right and still make a poor trading decision, because direction is only half the equation. The question I want answered alongside it is how much the market has already travelled. That is where Average Daily Range, or ADR, earns its place in the process.

Reading about structure is useful. Being taken through it weekly, with your own charts, is different.
