Notes people left after a sitting

These are accounts of markup sessions, not scores. Each one names a chart, a constraint, or a part of the hour that stayed awkward.

Sora Nam Private Zone Desk · February 2026

A chemicals name and a line that was too thin

Sora arrived with three months of daily bars and a 60-minute sheet for a KOSPI chemicals name she already held. Her only mark was a horizontal line at 142,000 won through a single wick. The closes had been rejecting closer to 145,500, and the swing high that began the decline sat higher still.

Minjun would not shade until she pointed at the March high and said it out loud. They then set the outer edge on the furthest wick of that swing and the inner edge on the cluster of closes. The old line stayed on the paper, crossed, so she could see what had changed. She took the sheets home and, a week later, wrote to say price had sat inside the band for two sessions without giving her a clearer feeling. She had wanted the band to tell her what to do. The sitting had only made the edges speakable. She booked a Marked Chart Review to check whether she had widened one zone on her own without a new swing to justify it. She had. That zone was retired.

Her reservation, which she repeated on the way out, was that the weekly print we added at her request was cropped at the left edge. We reprinted it during the hour, and the first fifteen minutes were spent waiting on the printer in the back room.

Evening Zone Studio · a Wednesday in January

The Monday note said the table would mark a heavy industrial on the daily and the 60-minute. I wanted my own holding instead, and Haejin declined without making a speech about it. Once I stayed with the shared packet, the useful part was watching the person across from me refuse a midpoint between two zones that did not belong to the same swing. I copied that refusal onto my sheet. The room was warmer than I like by 20:30.

Marked Chart Review · after a November private sitting

I brought four zones on a KOSDAQ equipment name. Two were still tied to the swings we named in November. One had been closed through on a Tuesday, and I had kept calling it support because the wick still looked familiar. Minjun wrote “retired” and the date, and left the shading in place. The fourth zone I had invented between sittings from a round number. There was no swing under it. We did not repair it. I left with three lines of margin text and a slightly bruised habit.
