Lesson 03 · Vocabulary
Use terms as evidence, not decoration
BOSBreak of Structure
A meaningful swing breaks in the direction of the current trend. In a bullish market, a new high above the previous high is bullish continuation evidence.
CHoCHChange of Character
The first meaningful break against the existing trend. Treat it as a warning; confirmation normally requires the opposite swing sequence to form.
HLProtected low
In bullish structure, this is the higher low that launched the move through the prior high. A close below it weakens or invalidates the bullish thesis.
LHProtected high
In bearish structure, this is the lower high that launched the move through the prior low. A close above it weakens or invalidates the bearish thesis.
Lesson 04 · Context
One stock can show several structures at once
Use the higher timeframe for direction and the lower timeframe for setup timing.

Directional context1-hour chart
Pullback / entry contextExample trade narrative
“Daily structure is bullish. The 1-hour chart is pulling back bearishly. I wait for the 1-hour to reclaim its protected high before considering a bullish entry.”

Working rules
A simple process beats more indicators
1
Start high, then zoom in
Read Weekly/Daily direction first. Use 4-hour or 1-hour structure to plan the setup.
2
Require a close
Use a candle close beyond the structural level for consistency. A wick can be a sweep, not a break.
3
Write conditions
“Above X, bullish. Below X, invalid.” Conditional plans are more useful than predictions.
