Most traders obsess over “A+ setups.” But in live trading, those setups often fall apart—because they skip the hard part: deciphering the market’s narrative.

But because price can take multiple paths between two points, you need a suite of trades (signature, playbook, etc) tailored to those varying paths.
Only then can you truly skew risk-to-reward in your favour—with trades that reveal early when the scenario isn’t playing out, so you’re gone… not left holding the bag.
TLDR
You don’t skip the narrative and jump straight to “set-ups.”
That’s not trading to extract money from the market—that’s donating.
The deeper stuff
Look–when you have signature trades that align with how price is travelling, you give yourself a huge advantage:
You can commit them to memory simply by repeating them over and over—because they’re incredibly specific.
And when executing those trades becomes as automatic as riding a bike, you free up the mental space to focus wholly on deciphering the market narrative—just like you’d grasp the meaning of a short story or chapter in a book.
This is the skill that separates the minority who win from the majority who lose.
But unless you have a framework of principles to guide you, you’re effectively trying to interpret a book written in braille.
Traders who finally get consistent all reach the same realisation:
