Small-Group Mapping Workshop

The workshop exists because some mapping habits only show themselves when another trader is sitting across the table drawing a different line on the same daily. Argument is part of the method, not a disruption of it.

Morning hours are spent on swing selection: which high actually matters, how to treat a session spike into a thin print, and why a weekly close through a zone is a different event from a four-hour wick. The examples are drawn from cable, the FTSE future, and gold — markets the room can read without a specialist story.

Afternoon is slower and more personal. Each trader’s charts go on the table in turn. The group is asked to mark first, then Priya or Alistair marks, then the two maps are compared. The useful disagreements are kept; the decorative lines are rubbed out.

Private desks sometimes hire the whole table. That is a different quote: same teaching, closed door, and travel if the desk cannot come to Thornhaugh.

Who it is for

Traders who prefer to learn in company and who can spend a weekday away from the screen. Prior chart time is assumed; complete beginners will struggle with the pace.

What you leave with

A marked workbook, a shared vocabulary for zones versus lines, and two or three of your own charts reviewed in the room.

Scope

One day. Common markets only: major FX, FTSE and European index futures, gold. No options structure, no crypto-only books.

How the time runs

1. Seats are offered by date on the enquiry form. A place is held once a deposit is received.
2. A week before the day you send two charts you want on the afternoon table.
3. The morning is taught from prepared examples. The afternoon belongs to the room.
