Why This Market Was So Easy to Read (And Why It Still Is)

This market wasn’t special or unusual — it was simply easy to read. When structure is clear, complexity falls away, and decision-making becomes calm

Why This Market Was So Easy to Read (And Why It Still Is)
Martin Cole PAT indicator.

Over the weekend I received a lot of emails saying that I had “smashed this market.”

What struck me wasn’t the praise, but the language people used.
Almost everyone referred to it as this market — as if it were something unusual, difficult, or exceptional.

So I went back and looked at the chart again.

And what stood out immediately was this:
there was nothing special about it.

The market was easy to read.

That’s not because of prediction, intuition, or hindsight.
It’s because when the PAT markers and buffers come together, the chart becomes clear.

For people seeing the indicator for the first time, it can look like a lot is going on.
That reaction is completely understandable.

But in reality, there are only a small number of components doing very specific jobs.
Once you understand what each one is there for — and how they interact — the complexity collapses into something very simple.

What you’re left with is structure.
And structure makes decision-making calm.

If you’re curious to explore this properly, everything is laid out step by step on the website.
There’s a free 7-day path, a quick-start guide, and the full manual if you want to go deeper.

You don’t need to rush.
Read through the material, look back at the historic posts, and see how the same logic applies again and again.

And finally — thank you to everyone who took the time to email.
They were genuinely lovely messages to read.

Have a good week.
