I am Harvey — the trader who tells you to wash the cup first. I will turn messy analysis into a clear, checkable list. Only when the boxes are ticked do we enter, so you stop fearing volatility and stick to moves within your risk range.

Before I found my footing, I spent money on courses and even followed signals — and still fell into holes. That did not mean those methods were useless; it meant my cup was dirty.

The more time, energy, and money I poured into tweaking tactics, the deeper I sank. That is when it clicked: if you do not clean the cup, everything you pour tastes like mud.

So I tore apart what the gurus were teaching. Most offered methods without the logic. I stitched together what I had learned and went back to first principles — the common root of all strategies: market sentiment.

When you miss how sentiment is changing, you get eaten alive by price even if you can name every pattern in the book.
