Large charts set the odds and small charts set the timing. This lesson works through the structural questions you answer on the daily chart first, and what to do when the short timeframe disagrees with the long one.

Risk reminder

Chart reading is analysis, not permission. A clean structure is a reason to keep watching, never an instruction to buy, and never a prediction of what happens next.

Education only. This lesson is not financial advice, a trade signal, or a promise of results. Test in paper first, size every idea by what you can afford to lose, and remember that you control your own broker account and your own decisions.
