Module 4 · Auction Completion & Migration
Single Prints & Poor Highs/Lows
Fast-move zones and unfinished extremes.
In this lesson you'll
- Define single prints and what they mark
- Define poor (weak) highs and lows
- Use them as magnets and revisit targets
A poor high is “unfinished business.” Because the high wasn't aggressively rejected (no tail), buyers tend to return to test and often exceed it before a durable turn. Poor highs/lows usually reflect short-term traders' control rather than committed longer-timeframe participants.
Key takeaways
- Single print = a one-period price; a fast move and an LVN (future S/R until filled).
- Poor/weak high or low = a flat extreme with no tail = unfinished business.
- Poor highs/lows tend to be revisited (and often exceeded) before a durable turn.
- Use the completion checklist: tail = done, flat = unfinished, body single prints = magnets.

Why that's off: A completed high shows a selling tail; a poor high lacks one.
Why that's off: The POC is the high-volume center, not a flat extreme.
Why that's off: A buying tail is excess at the LOWS, the opposite.
A flat high with no excess wasn't genuinely rejected — it's unfinished business that price tends to revisit and frequently take out before any durable reversal.
Why that's off: Single prints are LOW participation, the opposite of acceptance.
Why that's off: The value area is the ~70% high-activity zone, not single prints.
Why that's off: The IB is the first hour's range, unrelated.
Body single prints are where price sprinted through with minimal two-sided trade — an LVN. They act as future support/resistance and magnets until later trade fills them in.
