Patience During Compression: Waiting Without Inventing a Trade
Compression requires patience because the market may be preparing for movement without yet offering clean direction or risk.
A compressed market is interesting, but interesting is not the same as executable.
Patience During Compression: context
As volatility contracts, traders feel pressure to position before expansion. The range becomes familiar, and familiarity can create false confidence.
The point is to slow the decision down enough that the trader can separate market evidence from internal pressure.
Patience During Compression: failure mode
The mistake is entering because movement is expected rather than because the market has shown acceptance, rejection or a defined invalidation point.
The patient plan marks both sides of the range, defines what a valid break or sweep would look like and accepts that no trade may occur before proof arrives.
