Notes from the table, written after the pencils went down
These pieces stay with the craft: zone width, timeframe order, failed breaks, London residue on GBP pairs, and the unglamorous work of sending readable charts. They are not market calls.

Some shelves on GBP pairs are not structure. They are the residue of a morning range that will not be there once New York has had its say.
What to send before a mapping sitting so the hour is not spent cropping
The sitting goes better when the charts arrive readable, dated, and limited to the market you actually want marked.
