Break of structure without moving the goalposts

Break of structure is the phrase that loses meaning first in a live session. A wick through a swing high becomes “almost a break.” A close through it becomes “maybe still valid if volume was thin.” By the close, the rule has moved.

In our room, a break on the working timeframe requires a candle close beyond the swing extreme you marked before the session. Wicks warn; closes decide. If you want wick-based invalidation, write that rule before the open — do not invent it after the wick appears.

Higher-timeframe structure still matters. A four-hour break against an untouched daily swing is information, not an automatic reversal thesis. Mentorship weeks two and three exist largely to catch these goalpost shifts while the trade is still on the screen.

If your journal already shows three different invalidations for the same setup, the Swing Analysis Mentorship is the cleaner next step than another indicator.
