q&a

This if/then vs when/how distinction cuts deep. Most people treat levels like destinations when they're really just checkpoints inside a bigger flow. I got wrecked last year betting on "obvious" support that held for an hour then collapsed because I didnt account for volume profile shifts. The options delta hedging stuff amplifies the chop way more than retail realizes, especially aroud 0DTE expiries. The real edge isnt calling the magnet, its knowing when dealer positioning makes that magnet irrelevant.

Chop is death. Time and geometry is everything - empirical.

This is why you can people with wisdom can appreciate what I’m doing.
