Translation for traders: The market doesn’t care what you know. It only pays what you act on.

📚 Educational Takeaways

  • 🔄 Probabilistic Mindset > Prediction:
    Forecasting exact moves invites emotion; consistent rules with edge brings calm execution.

  • 📍 Key Zones Matter:
    Mark your levels like 6040, 6015, and the CD1 low (6006.25) — these act as both trade triggers and risk anchors.

  • 📉 Don’t Fight the Liquidation:
    When the tape shifts from chop to unwind, adapt or step aside — no medals for martyrs.

  • ⛵ Lean Like a Sailor:
    Bruce F said it best — trading is like yachting: shift your weight when the wind turns.

  • 📸 Visual Memory Aids:
    Use charts and snapshots to train your eye on where structure emerges.

From bullish breakouts to bearish breakdowns, June 11 was a tale of two tapes — act when the edge appears, pivot when it vanishes, and above all, don’t predict… participate. 🧘‍♂️📉📈
