Chapter 01

Find the completed session's center

Trader question

Where is the center of the completed session's map?

CPR is the central balance band built from the completed session's high, low, and close. It gives the map a center before the learner studies the wider support and resistance ladder.

Desk checklist

Confirm the OHLC session is completed.
Read CPR as a band, not a single magic line.
Use the band to orient the map before judging any level.
