Chart layout & day structure — mark these before anything else.
Step-by-Step
- Mark the day boundaries: 6:00 PM → 6:00 PM (New York time).
- Within that day, mark the working area: 9:25 AM → 1:00 PM.
- Within the working area, mark the Red Box: 9:30 AM → 9:32 AM.
- Do this before moving on to any further analysis for the day.
How the Red Box can expand
The Red Box isn't necessarily locked at its original 2-minute size once you've marked it. What happens right after determines whether it stays that size or grows — and this matters, because everything downstream is read from the box's final boundaries, not just its initial mark.
This refers to the two-step confirmation process — a body close beyond a level, followed by continuation. It's covered in full in Stage 4's Confirmation lesson. You don't need to master it yet — just know the box can grow before you move on.
