Your trading plan for the session isn't hindsight if it was formulated before the session began. If it was formulated before the session began and these important levels were not taken into account, I suggest you take them into consideration for tomorrow.

You mapped halfway levels. What was your trading plan for the day with regard to those levels?

Do you plan your trades in advance?

The thesis that 80 was/would be important.

No need to think that much. 80+/- was the postulated halfway level of the advance. When price plunged through it so hard and so fast, that confirmed the thesis. Ditto 72. This is what Auction Market Theory is all about, and how one profits from an understanding of it. That the "experienced"...

What happened to the 4484 short with a stop at 4524? You can't go long if you're still short.

The 1310 bar that dropped 10pts in one minute, through 80. And where did we reverse? 72.

Did you see how price behaved as it dropped through 80? This tells you that traders consider that level to be important. Or at least the traders who move money.

The probability that traders will behave one way vs another. Which is the basis for behavioral economics and thereby behavioral finance, nearly all of which stems from Charles Mackay and Gustave Le Bon.

Pretty much, except that if you begin at the beginning, at about 58, the halfway level is lowered a bit.

You're trying to predict where price will go rather than just follow it as far as it's willing to take you. This trade has been discussed since last week. Anyone who missed it hasn't been studying.

The market isn't an engineering schematic; it's a behavioral model. Has been for millennia.

"How other people are today" is reflected in what buyers are willing to pay and sellers are willing to accept. As to what that means, one must look at context, or structure, or architecture, i.e., how the auction market functions. "lol"

If you're limiting your definition of "data" to numbers, then you are missing out on a great deal.

No, just about traders trading. Behavior. That is, after all, the purpose of an auction market: to facilitate trade.

I don't know that it's undiscovered, though you may be right. Probably more the belief that the lessons of centuries no longer matter.

My emphasizing entering on retracements wasn't accidental :)

Depends on whether one is looking at numbers or behavior. If the latter, there is nothing that has not happened before. Charles Mackay can tell you all about it.

Particularly in the P&R Forum.
