    The shape.

    And what I've learned over the years is what happens right now on the chart can be the start of a trade setup but the actual entry might be many days away. But it depends on the timeframe.

    Let's say you're looking at the 60m. What happens on Monday at 9am might lead to a trade on Thursday.

    Hey Dax


    What;

    The footprint left by price


    Why

    Helps me visually see where.., and where not – price wanted to go… how adamant is was about getting there…. and where the sticking levels were/ are

    Then helps in me figure out where price may decide to go next

    Also shows me where low risk attempts to find out - are
