When does Kyle Ng skip trading?

No clear structure means no trade. If the market is stuck in consolidation with no sequence of higher highs or lower lows, there is no bias, and without a bias the system does not fire. Sitting on your hands is a position.

Holiday tape is another sit-out. Sessions with a gap in overnight data, like the day after Thanksgiving, make swing failure reads unreliable because the levels were built on missing participation. Kyle marks the levels and stands down.

The pattern behind both rules: the system needs real participants getting trapped at real levels. Thin tape has neither, and a valid-looking pattern on invalid tape is still an invalid trade.
