• 🧠 Discipline Beats Excitement: Consistency in trading mirrors consistency in life.

• 📈 Validating Volume Matters: It’s not just the level, but the quality of price acceptance.

• 🧱 CALL WALLS Are Real: Option flows drive intraday structure. Learn to see them before price reacts.

• ⏳ Time > Urgency: As @samuraipips358 says, the market doesn’t care about your deadlines.
