Drill format
This page is the anatomy of our tech analysis training. A price action drill for breakout and pullback setups has a pack, a clock, spoken reads, and notes. It does not have a leaderboard.
01
The working day before the sitting you receive a small set of recent sessions: London cash hours on the FTSE, a sterling hour from the overlap, sometimes a mid-morning range that never expanded. Famous days are kept for the clinic. You do not mark the pack in advance unless the booking is a workshop with homework.
02
Prior-day high and low. Session high and low so far. Opening range once the session is old enough to have one. We draw them in that order so the prior day is not quietly moved after you have seen the open. Extra overlays stay hidden.
03
A break round asks whether a move through a marked level is accepted — a close and a hold — or a probe. A pullback round asks whether a return still keeps the break, or whether you are looking at a failed second entry. You speak the read before the next candle is revealed.
04
Some rounds are dull. Compression is left in the pack on purpose. If you invent a breakout because the box has been quiet for an hour, the drill marks it. Sitting out is part of the same craft as taking a retest.
05
After the last round we send the levels we kept, the ones we discarded, and a sentence on the habit that showed up. One follow-up question by email is included in the next seven days. A second look at your own fortnight is a chart review, not an extra drill.
We do not score P&L. A round is clean if the sentence you spoke matched the structure in front of you: accepted break, failed break, continuation pullback, failed second entry, or pass. A trade that would have made money for the wrong reason is still a poor drill answer. That irritates people on the first sitting. It is also why the second sitting is usually quieter.
Groups are capped at four. In-person dates happen at the Thrandeston studio when a clinic fills; weekly drills are mostly live video, timed to sit outside your usual open.
