1) It extracts key levels (not 20 random lines)
You don’t want “analysis.” You want 2–4 zones that change decisions: range edges, prior highs/lows, and clean reaction areas.
2) It forces two scenarios (bull + bear)
The biggest upgrade in consistency is thinking in a decision tree. If price holds the level, you plan the hold. If it breaks and accepts, you plan the break. No prediction required.
3) It gives a trigger and invalidation (so you can actually execute)
If a tool can’t specify an invalidation level, it’s not giving you a trade plan. Triggers can be simple: break + close, sweep + reclaim, retest hold.
4) It’s fast and consistent (same format every time)
The “best” tool is the one you’ll actually use. Look for consistent output formatting so you can compare setups quickly.
Traps to avoid (what people regret buying)
- Guaranteed profit claims: red flag. Markets don’t work like that.
- Long paragraphs: if it can’t fit on one screen, it’s hard to execute.
- No invalidation: “wait and see” isn’t a plan.
