📘 TRADING LESSON – PATIENCE ON AGGRESSIVE OPENS ( $IWM Example)
• Strong aggressive opens can trap traders into chasing
• First rip up → FOMO starts
• Second rip → traders jump into calls late
⚠️ The Problem
Even if the chart looks bullish, price was under the key pivot (257.20)
That makes calls a pure chase, not a structured trade
🔑 Key Levels
• 257.20 = Key Pivot (resistance)
• 256.22 = Nearest real support
• No support = no edge
🧠 What You Should Do Instead
When price is under a key pivot, you only have two smart options:
1️⃣ Play the flush
2️⃣ Wait for a flush to VWAP / key pivot, then look for confirmation
✅ Why This Works
• You get defined support
• VWAP + key pivot = structure
• Clear invalidation = low-risk entry
• No chasing, no guessing
🎯 Lesson
Strong directional days reward patience, not speed.
Let price come to your levels, then execute with structure and control.
