In this instructional commentary, the speaker emphasizes that traders should not act on personal opinions about support or resistance levels. Instead, they must wait for concrete market signals—such as a change in delivery, a break in structure, or a market‑structure shift (referred to as CISD)—to confirm their hypothesis before entering a trade. Once confirmation appears, the trader should place a long entry, set a stop loss below the entry, and define a profit target. The overarching message is to avoid premature entries, which often lead to false trades, and to rely on observable order‑flow and market‑structure cues for risk‑controlled trading decisions.

the order flow is now starting to shift towards a bullish direction. Just because I think that this is likely going to be support does not mean that it is going to be support because this is just what I think and you don't want to be trading what I think. I don't even trade what I think. I trade what the market's showing me. So once you have an opinion, you got to wait for the market to give you proof, all right? To give you confirmation that, okay, it agrees with whatever you think. I think that if this is going to be support, then from here you're going to see some sort of change in state of delivery or some sort of break of structure or some sort of market structure shift, whatever trading system you're using. But you gotta see that. And once it comes back, right, once you get the CISD, then you go long, right? You place your entry there, you place your stop loss down below it, and you target for whatever you're targeting. But the key thing here is to not jump in preemptively, right? That's how you risk getting into a lot of false trades.
