About the classroom

A room that will not look at your five-minute chart first

Module Mapcore is a training practice in Bang Rak Phattana, Bang Bua Thong, Nonthaburi. It exists because Niran Mekara grew tired of sitting beside people who could name candlestick patterns and still had no weekly sentence on the page.

The classroom is in Nonthaburi, north-west of the river. People travel from across Greater Bangkok; the work stays on paper.

Origin

Niran spent years marking indices and regional names for a research desk in Bangkok. The useful part of that job, he still says, was not the morning note. It was the argument about whether a daily breakout was still inside a weekly range. When he left the desk he kept a Tuesday evening table in Bang Bua Thong for a handful of people who wanted that argument without a house view attached. The table became a classroom when the waitlist stopped fitting around one dining table.

The name on the door is simply the name of the practice. It is not a product line. The offer is time in the room, worksheets, and critique of markup.

How we work

Higher timeframe first. Written bias before an execution chart. Invalidation in a sentence a colleague could check. We teach in English with Thai in the room whenever a swing is easier to discuss that way. Materials stay in English so a page written on Saturday can still be read on a noisy Monday BTS ride.

We do not place orders, recommend brokers, or send ideas after class. If a chart is unclear, we say it is unclear. That sentence has ended more than one afternoon earlier than a visitor wanted.

Principal instructor. Leads every intensive, foundation weekend, and chart review. Marks the wall chart; sits at desks when a weekly swing has been over-drawn. Lives in Nonthaburi and still takes the same bus corridor he used when the Tuesday table was in a shophouse two streets over.

Prepares worksheets, keeps the longer weekly prints on the side table, and takes the desks that fall behind on Day 2 so Niran can stay with the wall. Writes some of the journal notes on morning passes and markup habits. Joined after sitting three intensives as a student and complaining, usefully, that the rubber supply was a joke.

What we value

Paper, because a screen leaks the other timeframe. Small numbers in the room, because desk critique dies at twenty people. Honesty about unclear charts. Punctuality: Day 1 starts at 09:30 with the weekly, not with a round of introductions that eat the only quiet hour.

If that sounds like the kind of classroom you want, write with the session and a month you could travel to Bang Bua Thong.
