Write the skip down

There is one exercise worth running every time you watch anyone else read a chart, including us.

Watch the refusals

When someone goes through a market and passes on it, the interesting part is not the setups they took.

It is the ones they declined. Every refusal has a reason behind it, and that reason is the judgement you are trying to build.

Watch what gets refused, not only what gets taken.

Write your own reason first

Before the reason is given, write down why you think that market was skipped. Conflicting timeframes. No zone anywhere near price. Nothing confirmed on the lower charts.
