A Lesson in Patience and structure - ORB waited till 2pm today

44
Fellow traders,

Today tested patience more than precision.

The morning was a maze — choppy price action, overlapping candles, and zero conviction. The ORB range between 9:30–9:45 never gave clean confirmation. Buyers held the low, sellers pressed the top, but neither could gain control. Every candle said, “not yet.”

Then came midday compression. From 11 AM to 1:30 PM, QQQ coiled tightly under the EMAs and VWAP. That silence wasn’t random — it was the market loading energy. The moment VWAP was lost for good, the floodgates opened.

Finally, around 2 PM, the breakdown came: a clean retest rejection of the ORB box and an accelerated drop through 629. The move I had been watching all day finally unfolded — only this time, discipline said don’t chase.

And that’s the point of today’s session.
Not every move is yours to catch. Sometimes your biggest win is not forcing a trade that forms too late or breaks your system’s timing window.

Patience is part of the strategy.
The setup played out exactly as it should — I just didn’t have to be in it to learn from it.

Stay disciplined. Stay sharp.
