How a swing chart is prepared
The same order every time, so a tired evening still produces a page you can trust. The sequence is the heart of the technical analysis training here.
-
Name the hold
Write the instrument and the length of the sit at the top of the sheet before any mark. A few days and a few weeks are different charts. If you cannot name the hold, the hour is early.
-
Choose the frame
Daily is the usual page. Weekly comes in only when the daily swings would be noise inside a longer structure. Both frames in one sitting are arranged ahead, not squeezed into the last ten minutes.
-
Mark the swings that govern
A swing high has lower highs on both sides, far enough apart that the hold would notice. Smaller crests stay bare. The pencil waits until later bars have failed to better the peak.
-
Keep the levels that change the plan
One level ends the idea. At most two others stay if they would change how you sit through the hold. Everything else is named in the removed column and leaves the page.
-
One volume remark
Quiet, ordinary, or heavy, beside the swing low that still matters. Untested gaps are written as untested. The remark does not pick a direction.
-
Close the sheet
The last line reads that the page is closed for the night. Later thoughts go on the back as questions, not as fresh lines on the face of the chart. You take both papers with you.
Tuesday to Friday the desk follows this order in private. On the first Thursday evening, Min-jae Park runs the same habits out loud on one shared chart, with six seats and no personal pages.
Bring a printed chart or let the room print the daily. There is no feed on the wall. The paper in front of you is the whole instrument of the hour.
If the sequence should be done with you, ask for the preparation hour. If you want to watch it once in company, ask for a seat on the structure evening.
