Session 06
Volume Profile
Volume measured by price instead of by clock: where business actually got done, why heavy prices attract reactions, and how to use the result without overclaiming.

Session 08
Support & Resistance
Finding the prices where orders pile up, treating them as bands rather than exact numbers, waiting for confirmation instead of guessing, and why a broken level changes jobs.
3 min read
Session 09
Supply & Demand Zones
Why an order too large to fill leaves a mark where a move began, how that differs from a classic level, and how to mark and trade a zone without over-trusting it.

4 min read
Putting it together
Turn the concepts into a repeatable process for finding and tracking trades.
