What people say after the pencil work.

These are recollections of specific sittings. They are not a scoreboard. Technical analysis training here is judged by whether the sheet got more honest.

On evening five I stopped treating a rising 20-day line as permission. Lim made me mark the 50-day slope in the margin before I could say the trend was confirmed. The sheet from that night is the one I still copy when a chart starts to feel urgent.

I brought a printed daily of a food name I have watched for two years. Ninety minutes, one ruler. Jihoon spent half the sitting on three closes that sat on the average rather than above it. I had been calling that a break for a month.

Oh Taejin, Suncheon — Chart Sitting

The Saturday block is crowded with arithmetic, and I left with a stiff hand. I also left unsure about one thin chart we marked in the last hour — Han called it unconfirmed and I still wanted a trend. That argument was the useful part, though I would have preferred the afternoon split in two.

The room is quieter than I expected from a class. We spoke little until the sheets were marked. I missed one Thursday for a family visit and was handed the packet to finish before I returned. The catch-up was plain and a little stern. It suited the work, and my 50-period slope calls got less romantic afterward.

A bounce that stayed a bounce

Seo Nari keeps the books for a dried-fish wholesale stall near the old market and started watching the KOSPI 200 in the evenings after a cousin told her the averages had “turned up.” She came to the Jungang-ro room in April with a printed chart and a sentence she wanted us to agree with.

Evening three was the one she still mentions. Her shorter average had crossed the longer one after a four-day bounce. The longer average’s slope, checked with the straightedge, was still down. Two of the four closes sat through the line rather than above it. Lim asked her to write the verdict before anyone discussed the cousin’s sentence. She wrote “not yet” and then crossed it out, because she disliked the sound of it, and wrote “unconfirmed.”

The following week the bounce faded. She did not enjoy being right in that particular way. She also says the printed pack uses months that are already finished, and that the distance made the first two evenings feel like a museum. She would rather have marked one sheet from the current month alongside the historical ones. We still teach from the finished months first, so nobody is grading a story that changes overnight, and we tell people that preference when they enroll.

What she kept is the margin habit. On Sundays she prints the index, lays a ruler on the 50-period average, and will not say a trend is confirmed until the slope and the closes agree. The cousin’s sentence has not been invited back.
