Is tape reading dead? Or is there still real edge hiding in the speed, rhythm, and reaction of price?

In this episode, I break down my journey with tape, how the game has evolved since the old-school Level 2 days, and how you can still use tape reading today—without going full market-depth nerd.

Whether you’re an active scalper or just looking to sharpen your execution, this episode gives you a modern, no-BS take on spotting shifts in momentum, price velocity, and market intent using nothing more than a 15-second chart.

A scalper came on one of our Traders Mastermind calls and said he was struggling… not because he couldn’t trade — but because he was trying to hold trades longer to be more “proper.”

What I told him might just be the reminder you need today:

If something’s working, and you’re not walking through landmines to do it… then double down.

In this episode, I unpack:

• Why forcing yourself to trade a “better” way can backfire
• The difference between refining your edge vs. diluting it
• When to burn the textbook and go all-in on your strengths
• A simple test to know if your current strategy is legit or lucky.

If you’re profitable, but second-guessing your style because it’s not “by the book”… this one’s for you.
