THE AM TURN
Tuesday, February 17 — S4H — Turns (8, 9, 10) — Week 7
TODAY — S4H
Honing: Spill down → AM HIGH → Mid‑AM LOW → Lunch HIGH → Mid‑PM LOW → Last‑Hour HIGH
Composite Man opens today with expressive intent. Tuesday's work is interpretation — not prediction — and an S4H on a Tuesday asks you to read the breath, not the distance. Expect the spill to clear the book rather than define the tone, and expect the AM HIGH to show whether yesterday's sponsorship was motive or just motion.
The Mid‑AM LOW is the truth test on an S4H. If bears can't press meaningfully, the bulls carry possession deeper into the day. If they can, the structure shifts from expression to balance. Lunch is the tell — a clean HIGH signals continuation, while a Wet Beak signals fatigue. Tuesday's seed set reminds us: narrative matters more than noise.
The afternoon turns on an S4H tend to echo the morning's honesty. A late‑strong Mid‑PM LOW hands the ball to the bears for the close, while an early‑weak one keeps the bulls in control but without fresh breath. The last hour rarely rewrites the story — it simply reveals whether the operator meant what he said earlier in the day.
WHAT NOT TO DO TODAY (S4H EDITION)
* Don't confuse motion for motive — S4H exposes that mistake fast.
* Don't chase expressive lifts — they punish enthusiasm.
* Don't assume sponsorship just because price rises.
* Don't fade a clean Mid‑AM LOW — reluctant bears don't reverse structure.
* Don't expect the last hour to rescue a tired run.

Friday, February 14 — S4H — Turns (8, 9, 10) — Week 7
YESTERDAY — S4H
The day opened with a late and strong 9:40 spill, the kind that clears the book without defining the tone. Bears hit the low with force, but the reversal window handed possession back to the bulls. The 10:40 center‑time new high confirmed sponsorship — motive, not noise — and the morning settled into a steady, controlled breath.
At 11:25, the Mid‑AM LOW held the previous day's close. Bears pressed, but without conviction. The bulls still had the ball, but the breath had thinned. By 1:25 PM, the Wet Beak at the floor trader pivot said more than price ever could — the run was tiring, and the DOM took his cut.
The 2:45 late‑strong Mid‑PM LOW marked the first real bear turn of the day. The bulls dropped the soap on the AM HIGH, and the structure shifted cleanly. The 3:05 early‑weak last hour confirmed exhaustion — the bulls were out of gas, and the close flattened accordingly.
This S4H wasn't just a sequence — it was a rhythm. A clean morning run, a thinning mid‑AM, a lunch Wet Beak, a late‑strong mid‑PM, and an early‑weak last hour. Time told the truth long before price did.
WB HUMOR LAYER
* "Chicago guesses. New York decides."
* "Mr. Market got his envelope — now sit down."
* "They dropped the soap twice. You can't trade that, son."
* "The Clock don't lie. People do."
TRADER’S CORNER
Tuesday is interpretation day. The seals told you the operator's breath yesterday; today tells you whether he meant it. The structure always resets cleaner than the mind does. Let the rhythm speak before you do.
THE UNDERCURRENT
The tape doesn't move in lines — it moves in intentions. Yesterday's seals showed possession, release, and controlled balance. Today's S4H isn't about direction; it's about whether the operator continues the sentence or pauses for breath. Listen for motive. It's always quieter than motion.
