Chart Reading Workshop

Four weeks of Tuesday and Thursday evenings spent naming bars, touching swing points, and reading a volume column on printed pages from earlier years.

Four weeks, Tuesday and Thursday, 19:00–21:00 19,500 THB per seat

A 4,500 THB deposit holds the seat. The remaining 15,000 THB is paid on the first Tuesday, before the chart pack is unclipped.

Who this seat is for

Adults who want to read a price chart on paper and can spare two evenings a week. Many seats are taken by people who already glance at charts on a phone and want a slower way to say what they see. A few come from dealing rooms and want the same practice away from a live screen.

What you take home

By the last Thursday you can point at a bar and name its open, high, low, and close; mark a swing you can defend with a finger; and say, in one sentence, what the volume column beside it does and does not add.

On the sheet

Included

  • Eight classroom evenings with Malai Chanthara at the table
  • A printed chart pack of historical windows, clipped for that cohort
  • A cloth workbook with the evening’s prompt already written on the left page
  • One pencil reply from Malai on your final reading, given in the room
  • Tea at the halfway break, and the same chair for all eight evenings

Left outside the fee

  • A brokerage account, an order, or any arrangement that places a trade
  • A charting-software seat, a data feed, or a screen on the table
  • A written forecast for an employer, a family account, or a third party
  • A recording of the evening, or a seat beyond the twelve at the table

How the time is spent

Malai Chanthara leads every evening of the workshop. Kittisak Boonmee sets the chart packs and stays for the Thursday volume evenings.

  1. Tuesday 1 — Name the bar

    Each person receives one printed window and speaks the open, high, low, and close before any line is drawn. The room waits until the speaker can point to each of the four prices.

  2. Thursday 1 — Two bars in a row

    The second bar is named the same way, then compared with the first: which range is wider, which close sits inside the earlier bar, which wick is new.

  3. Tuesday 2 — A swing you can touch

    Students mark one swing high and one swing low that a neighbour can find without a legend. If the neighbour cannot find it, the mark comes off the page.

  4. Thursday 2 — A swing that fails

    The pack includes a window where a swing is taken out and the move returns. The exercise is to mark the failure, then stop. No story is added in the margin.

  5. Tuesday 3 — The volume column

    A column of volume is laid beside the bars. Students say whether the column is taller or shorter than the one before it, and nothing else, until that comparison is easy.

  6. Thursday 3 — A quiet column

    The room studies a stretch where price moves and the volume column stays short. Malai asks what you are willing to claim, and what you will leave unsaid.

  7. Tuesday 4 — Last year’s page

    The headline is withheld. Students read a full page from a finished year and write five lines: what the bars did, where the swings sit, and what the volume column changed.

  8. Thursday 4 — Read it to the table

    Each student reads one page aloud. Malai answers in pencil on the sheet. The cohort hears every reply. The chart pack stays with you.

What to bring

Bring a pencil, an eraser, and any chart pages you already keep, even if they are messy. The printed pack is supplied. Phones and laptops stay in a bag under the chair. If you have never marked a chart, the Saturday Bar Clinic the week before is a gentler first sitting, though it is not required.

Limits of the seat

Twelve seats. The workshop runs when at least seven deposits are in. Teaching is in English. Missing more than one evening means the final reading is moved to a marked-page sitting, because the reply depends on work the table has already heard.

Write with the month you can attend. We answer within two working days with the seats still open and the deposit note.
