Highs and lows
The points every trading idea is built on.
Step by step
- Price never moves in a straight line. It pushes, pauses, and pulls back.
- That peak is a high: the top of a push, right before price turned back down.
- That dip is a low: the bottom of a pullback, right before price turned back up.
- Every chart is made of these highs and lows. Learning to spot them is the first skill, because this whole strategy is built on them.
Remember: A high is where a push stopped. A low is where a pullback stopped.
