### **Category 3: TRADING STRATEGIES & MARKET ANALYSIS (The "When")**
This is where theory meets the tape. Every chart pattern, every economic report, every sentiment shift culminates in a single moment: the decision to enter or exit a trade. This category is the practical heart of the Indigo Trader community—where we dissect the markets, share our frameworks, and sharpen our timing together.

**The Language of the Charts. Read It, Speak It, Trade It.**
Price action tells a story. Technical Analysis is how we learn to read it. This sub-forum is our collective charting lab, a place to move beyond simple lines and indicators to understand the underlying psychology of supply and demand. Whether you're a day trader watching the 1-minute or a swing trader analysing the weekly, your edge begins with a deep reading of the chart.
Here, we respect all schools of TA—from classic patterns to quantitative indicators—while maintaining a rigorous, evidence-based approach. No crystal balls, just collective chart-reading.
