Field notes
Journal
Short essays from the study room. Each one stays inside technical analysis training for long-term market study: closes, zones, paper sheets, and volume read as participation.
The weekly close is a different object than the daily bar
A daily bar records a session. A weekly close records which side of the argument was still standing when the week ended.
A monthly support zone is a place, not a line you hope for
A line is easy to draw. A zone has to survive being explained to another person in the room.
The paper chart stays on the desk for a reason
The screen can zoom. The paper sheet remembers what the hand was willing to commit to.
Volume on a quarterly sheet, read as participation
A tall volume column says more people were in the market. It does not say what they were right about.
