Student notes

Marks left after class, in their words.

These notes name a course and a habit that changed, or one that took longer than the student expected. Each note stays with the course it came from.

Pimchanok’s second low

Pimchanok S. came from Bang Phli for the October 2025 studio with a folder of weekly charts and a habit of calling any pair of lows a double bottom. On evening three Kanya made the class cover the right-hand side of a sheet and write the confirmation line before they were allowed to see whether price had closed through it.

Pimchanok wrote the line, then uncovered a wick that had poked through and a close that had not. She kept that sheet. “I still want the pattern to finish,” she told the room on the last evening, “but I can point at the peak between the lows and admit the close is missing. That sentence was the part I did not have when I arrived.”

She booked a clinic the following March with four newer sheets. Somchai’s note on the top page was only “peak marked, close not yet.” She said that was the visit she wanted, even though she had hoped he would be more willing to call one of them done.

Pattern Clinic · March 2026

I brought daily charts and talked too much in the first ten minutes. Somchai asked me to shut the folder and redraw one flag with a paper strip for the pole. The strip was shorter than my story. We spent the rest of the time on that one sheet, which was less ground than I had planned and more useful than a tour of the folder.

Saturday, then studio · 2026

The Saturday desk moved quickly. I left able to name a candle and anchor a trendline, but the flag talk went past me. I should have waited instead of pretending I had it. The six evenings were the right order after that. I still think Saturday could slow down when the room is full of first-timers.

Chart Pattern Studio

The room is dim on purpose and I had to ask for a brighter lamp at my seat. They brought one without making a fuss. The chart work itself was strict: my flat neckline was wrong, and the sloped one Kanya drew changed the break I had been quoting to friends. I have not repeated that number.

Saturday Chart Desk

I came because my nephew kept sending me pictures of triangles. After the day I could see that his lines touched empty space. I am not taking the studio yet. I wanted the vocabulary, and the lunch break was long enough to walk to the stalls and decide I did not need six more evenings this year.
