Missing the Exit When Reversal Is Already Clear
This insight explains why missing the exit after a clear reversal is usually not a chart-reading problem. The signal is visible, but attachment and hesitation delay the close.
The Release Was Already Gone, but the Chase Started Anyway
This insight explains why chasing after a release is not the same as trading news well. Once the planned entry is gone, speed and FOMO can turn observation into a structurally weak trade.
