How do you learn from a guide properly?

Reading a guide once feels productive and teaches little. The useful version: read, then explain it back in your own words, then find it on a live chart, then use it on demo. Each step multiplies the retention.

What's your method?

• how you test whether you understood a concept
• the guide that changed once you applied it
• how you sequence guides with demo practice

This site's guides, like support and resistance, are written for exactly this loop.
