A volatile week, read twice
Naomi Berger works in Pangyo and follows one US index future after she gets home. She sat the October intensive in 2025 and then booked a private hour because a single week had left her notebook full of arrows. On the Wednesday she brought six printed sessions. The one she cared about was a Tuesday when the first candle drove through the prior-day high.
She had written, at the time, that the level had broken. Mina covered the rest of the day with a sheet of paper and asked where that first candle had closed. The close was back inside the prior range. The wick had gone through; the body had not stayed out. Naomi's sentence had described the push and omitted the close, which is the mistake evening two is built to catch.
They spent the middle of the hour on a Thursday in the same week, when a quiet volume bar sat on the prior low and she had skipped it because the day looked dull. The rewritten note was shorter than the original: wick through the prior high, close back inside; later, small volume at the prior low. She still says evening three of the intensive moved too quickly across two markets, and she was glad the private hour refused to do that.
She has kept the same page layout since. The studio did not ask her to trade differently. It asked her to write a sentence that the sheet could support.
I came on a Saturday after a year of marking levels on my own. The useful part was watching Mina refuse a line that price had touched only once. I still draw too many of those, which she said before the break, and she was right about the page I had in my bag.
Four Tuesdays. I follow the US index during Seoul evening hours. Elliot's sheets already had the prior high and low ruled, so the room spent its time on behaviour instead of hunting the marks. On evening three I lost the thread when volume was discussed across two examples at once. I said so. The replay on evening four used only my market, and that was the hour I still think about on the train home.
I brought six weeks of my own notebook. Mina spent the first twenty minutes reading my marks without correcting them. The comment I kept was about a wick I had labelled as a rejection when the level had not been on the page before the open.
The clinic is quiet, and stricter about blank space than I wanted. I had hoped for more examples packed into the two hours. What I actually still use, three months later, is the layout: prior high, prior low, prior close, and one sentence. Nothing else has stayed.
