The Narration Drill
By the end, you can narrate the last 20–30 candles out loud before ever looking for a trade.
A sports commentator. Before predicting anything, a good commentator describes what's happening: who's dominating, what just changed, what to watch. Narration forces observation over prediction.
The single best habit in this module: narrate the auction out loud before you look for a trade. Say who's in control, the evidence (HH/HL or LH/LL), what just changed, and what would change your mind.
If you can't narrate it clearly, you don't have a read — and that's your answer: wait. Narration is how you catch yourself predicting or anchoring before it costs you.
Do not predict. Observe evidence.
“I'll just look for an entry.”
“First I narrate: buyers were in control via HH/HL, momentum is fading at resistance, I'd flip my view on a lower low. Now — and only now — is there maybe a trade.”
Do the narration exercise above. Then, on your own chart, narrate the last 20–30 candles out loud before considering any entry. Make it a ritual.
Why narrate the last 20–30 candles before looking for a trade?
- Narrate before you trade — every time.
- Say control, evidence, what changed, what would change your mind.
- Can't narrate it? You don't have a read. Wait.
