In this segment, the speaker argues that most traders focus solely on price movement (the Y‑axis) and overlook the temporal dimension (the X‑axis) of a chart. He explains that the timing of price actions—especially retracements into order blocks that coincide with news events—significantly alters the probability of a trade’s success. By identifying and trading within these high‑quality timing windows, traders can improve trade outcomes. The commentary serves as an instructional reminder to integrate time‑based analysis with traditional price‑based analysis.
