When the 15-minute chart is only noise

Lower frames are not more precise. They are more frequent. Frequency is not permission.

In the evening lab we hide the daily chart and let students mark every 15-minute break. Then we uncover the swing map. Most of those breaks sit inside a daily pause and would have been declined by a written permission rule.

A useful test: if the weekly card says pause, and the daily has not yet accepted a new impulse, the 15-minute chart may describe noise around a midpoint. Acting on it is a choice, not a requirement of ‘being precise’.

Bring that test to class with two examples from your own book. The room is more useful when the charts are yours.
