Inventory
List every overlay on the screen and name its job in one sentence. Duplicates leave. What remains must earn a distinct voice—momentum, trend context, or structure—not a second echo of the same reading.
Playbook
Four passes every cohort learns to trust
Indicator Confluence Strategy Coaching at DataNode API follows a fixed sequence so students stop improvising when tools disagree.
Align
Require agreement across the remaining stack before size is discussed. Structure defines the map; oscillators comment on momentum within that map. A mismatch is written as conflict, not as a partial yes.
Wait
At first approach to a confluence zone, students name what would count as respectful confirmation before an order appears. Live Confluence Clinic drills this under Australian morning liquidity.
Invalidate
Define what closes the setup: acceptance against the stack, not a single noisy flip. Update the checklist in writing. Defending a dead reading and erasing a live one after noise are both treated as correctable habits.
What you practice with
Printed checklists for Mapping Intensive, cleaned digital layouts for Stack Lab, and live screenshares for the Clinic. Homework is short and personal: your instruments, your timeframe, your notes. We avoid generic pattern decks that never match the markets you watch.
