Sitting · Two-day in-person workshop
Weekend Field Notes
Saturday and Sunday on what belongs in a cycle journal, what to leave out, and how to compare this swing with the one three cycles back.
Field notes exist because a count that lives only in memory gets edited after the fact. The weekend slows that habit down.
Saturday is deliberately about a swing that has already finished. You cannot flatter yourself with a forecast. Sunday is harder, because the cancellation mark has not been proven yet.
Elise is strict about empty columns. A blank cancellation mark is not humility. It is an unfinished page.
Who it is for
People who can already see a swing and now want a written habit that survives a busy week.
What you leave with
A journal you have already used twice: once on a historical swing supplied by the desk, and once on a market named on Sunday morning.
Included
- Both days in the Silom room
- A bound blank journal with the academy’s column headings
- Printed historical sheets for Saturday’s exercise
- Sunday’s live sheet for the market the desk names that morning
Outside this sitting
- Lunch and hotels
- A personal review of a portfolio
- The six-week intensive map
Who leads it
Elise Marlow leads the weekend. Niran Sutham sits in for the Sunday comparison hour.
How the time is spent
-
Saturday
The columns: swing age, length of the last completed cycle, place versus the last crest and trough, and the cancellation mark. You fill them for a historical swing the desk has already lived through, so the answer can be checked.
-
Sunday
The same columns, this time on a market named that morning. After lunch you compare your page with a neighbor and with the instructor’s page. Differences are the lesson.
Before you come
Wear something you can sit in for a day. Bring nothing but a pencil if you wish; the journal is provided. Tell the desk about any day you cannot stay past 15:00.
Limits
Sixteen seats. English. The historical swing is chosen by the academy so the room shares one past. You do not bring your own market on Saturday.
The next step
Ask for the next weekend date. A place is held when the 2,000 THB deposit is agreed in writing. The remainder is due before the sheets are printed.
