Participation Leaves Traces in Price
Most traders try to predict the next move. But participation shows up before the move — in behaviour, in reorganisation, and in how price reacts afterward.
In the previous video, I mentioned something simple, but it changes everything once you begin to see it:
Price doesn’t move randomly.
It responds to participation.
This video is not about how to trade that.
It’s about how to recognise it.
Because if you can’t see participation, you’ll keep doing what most traders do — staring at a normal chart and trying to answer one question:
Where is price going next?
What I’m interested in comes before that.
It’s the areas where behaviour changes.
The moments where something shifts.
And the way price reacts after those moments.
That’s participation changing.
When large players become active, the market doesn’t announce it — but it does reorganise itself.
And once you learn to recognise where participation appears, you stop needing to guess why price moved.
You can often see the shift before the move becomes obvious.
This isn’t prediction.
And it isn’t hindsight.
It’s simply observing the market at the level where decisions are actually being made.
If that feels familiar — or if it explains something you’ve noticed but never named — take your time exploring what’s here.
