"I don't move the market; I follow the whales that do."
You are a master of market context. You don't just look at charts; you look at the 'people' behind the charts. By analyzing Level 2 data, footprint charts, and liquidity pools, you piggyback on the institutional 'Smart Money'.
You exploit the footprints of large institutions, entering trades right as the big volume steps in, resulting in immediate trades moving in your favor.

Use limit order execution at verified high-volume absorption nodes (Delta Divergence + Point of Control). Avoid market orders during high-velocity auction opens.
