You have a market
Cable, a gilt or FTSE future, gold — something you have traded long enough to describe the last three decisions at a level, including the poor ones.
Chart-mapping tuition · Thornhaugh
Mark the band. Write the invalidation. Leave the rest off the sheet.
Cloud Mappoint is a small studio for active traders who want support and resistance drawn as zones they can defend, not as a crowd of lines added after a painful session.
Ninety minutes over your weekly, daily, and four-hour. Paper on the table, or live video if you sit a desk elsewhere.
What you actually book
A sitting, not a feed of calls
The flagship hour is a Chart Mapping Session. You send the market you already trade. Alistair marks support and resistance as bands, names the close that would cancel the map, and refuses to add decorative shelves from last Thursday’s London range.
If you want someone to tell you when to buy cable, this studio is the wrong address. If you want a second pair of eyes on where demand and supply actually sit, write with two dates.

Refinement
A teaching sketch, not a live market. Width is the point: a probe into the band is not automatically a failed map.
Who the studio is for
People who already take their own risk
Most letters come from FX and index traders who sit London, keep their own book, and have noticed that their charts collect lines after losses. Complete beginners are asked to learn order entry elsewhere first.
You will argue
Markup is a conversation. If a 15-minute shelf matters to you, you will be asked to show it holding for a full session. Some lines leave the page.
You can wait
A map that says stand aside is still a map. Tuition here is unkind to the habit of inventing a new horizontal every time price idles.
Other ways to sit
Days at the table, and a short clinic
Shared table
Small-Group Mapping Workshop
A day around one table with at most eight traders. Morning on weekly and daily structure. Afternoon on live markup of charts the room has brought, with argument allowed and expected.
Group review
Chart Clinic
A short group sitting where submitted dailies are marked in turn. You watch other books as well as your own, which is often how a sloppy zone habit becomes obvious.
Sustained tuition
Six-Week Mapping Stretch
A six-week stretch of weekly sittings for a trader who wants the mapping habit to settle under live conditions, not in a single afternoon.
From the method
Weekly swing, then daily band, then four-hour — and only then
The order is the tuition. Dropping straight to a four-hour shelf is how a London morning range gets promoted into a story about the whole market. The method page walks through swing selection, zone width, and the close that counts as a break.
I arrived with seven lines on the daily, all of them from the last fortnight. Alistair kept two zones and made me explain the rest out loud. I could not.
