Trading gets confusing when every candle needs another explanation. Start with one range and the response you’re waiting for.

The Range, Simplified

Return inside → held retest

Back Inside, Then Hold the Retest

Price crosses the low, returns inside and holds the retest. The midpoint is the first measuring objective; the opposite boundary is next.

Targets are measuring objectives. Price can turn before reaching them.

The Stoic Range Model

Give the Next Candle Some Context

Mark the high, low and midpoint of a range you can explain. The boundary gives you somewhere to pay attention. The response tells you what to study next.

01 / Location

Start with the Map

Draw the range before the move. Keep the original chart so you can review what you actually saw.

High · Midpoint · Low

02 / Response

Watch the Boundary

Does price return inside and hold the retest? Or break out and hold the retest outside? Those are the two setups.

Sweep & Retest · Break & Retest

03 / Decision

Leave Room to Wait

If the response is incomplete, keep watching. Before entering, define your invalidation, position size and management plan.

The Idea Behind Stoic Edge

Understand the Decision Well Enough to Make It Yourself

You can question the range. Let a move pass. Keep studying while you build a plan. The explanation should help you see what you are waiting for before you know the outcome.
