Notes from students

What people actually argued with on the wall.

These are not scores. They are remarks after a private session, an afternoon, a series, or a review hour — including the sitting that felt too short, and the strike that nobody would name.

I came with four moving averages still on the print. Arthit had me peel them off before we spoke. The useful part was writing the void line in a sentence, not another tool. I did want him to name a strike at the end, and he would not. That annoyed me in the room and was probably the point.

Krittin S. · Private chart session · SET50 underlying

Six of us marked the same SET50 hour. I had the breakout; two other people had a range. Seeing my wick called leftover inventory in someone else’s handwriting was worth the taxi from Bang Khae.

Hannah L. · Chart studio afternoon · June cohort

Week one felt almost empty — no options talk at all. By week three I understood why. I missed Tuesday two because of a delayed meeting; the pack arrived, the board did not, and I felt the gap. Show up.

Niran P. · Four-week evening series

I brought printouts that were too faint. Malee sent me home to reprint rather than guess at wicks. The sitting that followed was 45 minutes and strict. She crossed out two trendlines I had been proud of.

Marta V. · Chart review hour

The homework charts from the private sitting sat on my table for ten days. When I came back, Arthit only looked at whether I had kept the invalidation sentence. I had moved it. He noticed.

Longer accounts

A range that survived expiry Thursday

Evening series, spring block

One student in the spring evening series traded a single stock option around a name that always seemed to ‘break’ on expiry week. We printed four prior expiries on the daily, with the range already marked as if the calendar were absent. Three of the four so-called breaks were wicks through a boundary that the daily still owned by Friday. The fourth was a real range shift — and it had started two sessions before Thursday, in ordinary volume.

She kept a photocopy of that board. In week four she still asked whether a cheaper contract in the middle of the range might be ‘safer.’ The room talked her back to the middle being the problem, not the strike list. We do not know what she did with her own money the following month. We know she can now finish a range before she opens the chain, which is the work we sell.

The opening drive we refused to mark as a thesis

Saturday private session

A visitor from a Sukhumvit office brought twenty SET50 sessions and wanted the first half hour of each named as a pattern. We spent the sitting doing the opposite. Overnight reference on the left, local volume under the bars, no ink until a second rotation. Several of his ‘must-trade’ opens were thin. One morning that looked sleepy was the only one with a completed location by 11:00.

He left with fewer setups than he wanted. He also left with a recap sheet in his own wording: sit out the first drive unless the daily already has a location. That is not a slogan we print on a cup. It was his sentence, after an argument with the board.
