Marking London levels without cluttering the chart
A practical way we teach prior-day and range levels so volume commentary has somewhere to land.
Volume notes are useless if every minor swing is drawn as a barrier. Our first curriculum module strips charts back.
Three lines most desks actually need
- Prior London session high and low
- The multi-session range that has contained price for several days
- One event level — a gap edge or news high — if it still attracts prints
Anything else waits until those three are respected or broken with context.
Why London first
Module Test sits in Canary Wharf. Many attendees trade the open and the European overlap. US session levels matter, and we cover them in reviews, but cluttering a London chart with overnight noise makes volume commentary harder to hear.
Exercise you can try tonight
Print one instrument’s last five sessions. Draw only the three lines above. Circle each touch and note whether volume rose, faded, or climaxed. Bring the sheet to a coaching session if you want a second pair of eyes.
