What people still argue with after they leave

These notes name a session, a constraint, or a habit that did not survive contact with the weekly page. They are not ratings. Two longer accounts sit under the shorter ones.

I arrived with three months of daily charts and no weekly page. Niran would not look at my fifteen-minute print until I had a sentence on the weekly. That annoyed me on the first morning. By Sunday I was slower, and I still wish the intensive had one extra afternoon for the SET stocks I actually hold, because the wall spent more time on gold than I needed.

The chart review lasted the full ninety minutes on one market. He marked where my daily low and my hourly “reversal” were not the same decision. I left with fewer lines than I came with. That was the point, though I had hoped he would also glance at crude.

Tuesday circle is quiet. You sit, you mark, you hear two people argue about the same daily swing. I missed one evening for a family dinner and nobody recapped it, which is fair, and which is why I now print the weekly on Monday night.

I had only ever used the candlestick window in my bank app. The foundation weekend spent Saturday on swing points until I could mark them without asking. Sunday’s daily page finally had somewhere to sit. I am not ready for the intensive yet; Pimchanok said to come back with a month of weekly sentences.

What I use from the three days is the invalidation line. Before that I rewrote my bias whenever the hourly looked ugly. I still rewrite it sometimes — the reservation is that a classroom cannot sit beside you at 08:10 in Silom — but I know when I am cheating.

Warit’s SET pages and a wall that stayed on gold

Warit arrived from Rama 2 with three months of daily SET printouts and no weekly. Day 1 forced the weekly sentence. He still writes that the wall spent too long on gold, a market he does not hold. The useful remainder, in his words, was the rule that the fifteen-minute chart stays closed until the sentence exists. He has not sat a review yet; he said he wants a month of weekly pages first, which is the sequence we prefer.

Anan’s bank-app candles

Anan had only the candlestick window in a bank application. The foundation Saturday was swing points until he stopped asking whether a wick counted as a pivot. Sunday produced a daily page that could sit under a weekly sentence. Pimchanok asked him not to book the intensive until he had a month of those sentences at home. He agreed, slightly disappointed, and sent a photograph of a weekly page three weeks later that still treated every wick as a level. That is a normal pause. The intensive is not a prize for finishing Sunday.
