In this concise trading‑education clip, the presenter cautions traders against letting personal expectations dictate their analysis. He explains that many traders, including himself, tend to look for setups they want—such as a retracement into a specific 1‑hour order block followed by a 5‑minute CSD (change of structural direction) to the upside—rather than what the market is actually presenting. The core lesson is to read price action objectively and trade the market’s signals, not the trader’s wishes. This mindset shift is framed as essential for consistent trading success.

Now, the only reason why I'm sounding as hesitant as I am right now is because I'm trying to determine if, like, whatever I'm sharing here is just something that I want to see in the markets versus what the market is actually telling me. And this is a very important lesson for any and all traders, by the way. There are always things that, you know, you would like to see the market do. For example, I would like to see a retracement into this 1-hourly order block right here, and then for price to show a 5-minute CSD to the upside, and then we can take a long. But that's what I want to see. What's important to, you know, succeed in trading is to actually read what the market is telling you objectively and trade what the market is showing you, not what you want to see.
