Premium & discount

Smart Money

Wholesale vs retail

Split any range at 50%: above = premium (sell zone), below = discount (buy zone). Smart money buys discount and sells premium. Retail does the reverse, chasing at the extremes.

Check yourself

In a range, smart-money longs get built…

  2. Below equilibrium, in the discount half correct
  3. At exactly 50%

Buy wholesale, sell retail. The 50% line tells you which half of the store you're standing in.
