Chart review process

The sequence we teach in workshops — designed for twenty minutes on weeknights and a longer spread on Sundays.

Every trader at Panel Camellia Hub learns the same backbone: close the platform, mark facts on paper, write one honest paragraph, then compare days side by side once a week. The steps below are what you practice in the flagship workshop and refine in the review circle.

Seven printed charts laid in a row on a table for weekly review

Daily review (evening, ~20 minutes)

  1. Close platforms and clear the desk. Leave only today's printed chart, the journal page, a ruler, and yesterday's note clipped above the sheet.
  2. Read yesterday's note aloud. One minute. If it sounds vague, underline the vague sentence — that is tomorrow's improvement target.
  3. Mark entry, stop, and exit on the chart. Use one pencil colour for facts. No commentary yet.
  4. Stamp or circle an exit tag: planned, reactive, or uncertain. Keep the set small.
  5. Write one paragraph in the journal. Answer: what did price do at my levels, and what was I feeling at entry versus exit?
  6. State one observable watch item for tomorrow. Not a vow — a behaviour you can see, such as "wait for second candle close before entry."

Weekly spread (Sunday, ~45 minutes)

  1. Print or lay out seven charts at the same scale. Tape them in a row across the table.
  2. Label each chart: date, instrument, result in R, exit tag.
  3. Fill the summary strip below: setups taken, setups skipped with reason, dominant emotion of the week.
  4. Photograph the spread for your own archive. Compare photos monthly — templates do not show behaviour; patterns on paper do.
  5. Pick one change for next week only. Example: no reactive exits during the first hour after London open.

After a losing trade (same day, five questions)

Use the fixed card from our field notes — rule followed or exception, size at entry, price at exit versus plan, emotion at entry and exit, one watch item for tomorrow. Limit yourself to five; do not expand the list on frustrated days.

Where we practice this

The Ladya Road room has a table built for weekly spreads. Workshop participants walk through daily and weekly steps on their own trades before leaving with a printed checklist.
