How to read a candle, the few patterns worth knowing, and why context beats memorising fifty shapes.
What S/R levels really are, how to draw the ones that matter, and how to trade around them with defined risk.
What to actually track beyond price, why spreadsheets stop scaling, and how tracking becomes better decisions.
