The Pin Isn’t the Edge. The Switch Is.

Many assume that once you can name the ‘support’ or ‘resistance’, you start believing the level is the edge.

It isn’t.

The edge is when the market switches states.

That’s the difference between analysis and authorship.

Authorship isn’t “I predict where price goes.”

Authorship is:

• I will interact with the phase change as it begins

• I commit during the formation, not the confirmation

• I manage the trade by time + structure, not hope

Most traders enter after the market has already revealed its intent.

They enter the story.

Authorship writes the mechanism.

1) Timing: entering before the hedging flow becomes obvious

2) Geometry: trading the path, not the level

3) Minimal drawdown: the signature that separates skill from luck

Authorship uses structure to avoid being chopped in the first place.

Because authorship is not “what should happen.”

It’s “what is happening right now — and how fast.”
