How does Jesse Rogers think about the market?

Trading is player versus player. Patterns describe what price looked like. Incentives and constraints explain why it moved. The useful question is not "what candle is this." The useful question is who is under pressure and may have to act.

There are two kinds of edge. Competitive edge is being faster or better informed than the other side. Forced-flow edge is trading when someone else has to do something: a stop, a hedge, a dealer who must buy or sell to stay flat. Options positioning is a map of those constraints. It is not a tip sheet.

Most people who think they have a psychology problem have a process problem. If you cannot name the condition, the zone, and the trigger, the feeling in your chest is accurate. You are guessing. Competence is what lowers the feeling. Affirmations do not.
