Volume · Confirmation
Students often treat any spike through a line as confirmation. In replay we split the clip: the bar that first prints beyond the range, and the bars that follow.
If the first print is thin and the next two are heavy, the room is watching a chase, not a decision that was present at the line. That does not make the move ‘fake’ by itself. It changes how we write invalidation. A chase that fails often fails fast; a break that was traded at the line can pause and still be valid.
We keep a simple column in the journal: ‘activity at the line’ versus ‘activity after’. After six weeks the column is more useful than any slogan about volume.
Asia-session examples are useful in Phuket because the overlap later in the day can fill in what morning prints left empty. We do not mix those windows in one plan without saying so on the page.
