Notes from Former Participants

Specific reflections from traders who have marked charts, calculated risk, and challenged their own rules at our Bangkok desk.

Workshop participants reviewing paper charts at a table

“The position-size worksheet exposed that my ‘small’ trades were not comparable at all. I now record risk in R before I place an order.”
— Mali, swing trader, Risk-First Chart Practice

“The pace on the first morning felt slower than I expected. By the stop-placement exercise I understood why: we were learning to separate evidence from a story about the chart.”
— Thomas, futures trader

“Arun did not rewrite my strategy. He circled three words in my plan—‘strong’, ‘near’, and ‘usually’—and made me define them. That was the useful part.”
— Kanya, Trading Plan Clinic

A case in fewer exceptions

A Bangkok equities trader arrived with eleven entry rules and six reasons to override them. During a clinic, we mapped five anonymised trades against the written plan. Four losses had respected the rules; two winning trades had broken them.

Rather than judging the outcomes, we reduced the plan to observable conditions and added an exception log. At a follow-up, the trader reported fewer unplanned entries and clearer review notes. This is behavioural evidence, not a return claim.
