Lesson 2 — Retests, Holds and Failed Confirmation

Many traders are taught to "wait for the retest," but very few are taught what a meaningful retest actually looks like. As a result, they start trusting any pullback, any revisit of a level, or any pause after a breakout. A real retest can improve entry quality, but a weak or failed retest can be one of the clearest warning signs that the trade should be avoided.
