A tuition room, a large sheet of paper, and a rule about the close

Why the sheet is on the wall

Rhys spent years sitting London hours with a pencil and a printed chart, first as a junior on a dealing-adjacent desk in Cardiff, later on his own account from a rented room in Cross Inn. The useful mornings were never the ones with a dramatic single bar. They were the ones where the sequence — open, failed high, lunch shrinkage — was still visible at 11 o’clock because nobody had talked over the closes.

Students who visited that room could name engulfing patterns and still describe an 08:00 doji as if it lived in a textbook. The wall sheet was a way to slow them down. Each completed candle is drawn at a size you can see from a chair. Session highs stay in pencil. The clock is written in the margin. That sheet is the canvas in the name; the practice is still small enough that the same person who draws the bars also answers the enquiry mail.

How we work with you

We agree the market and the window in advance. We do not switch to a more exciting chart mid-morning. Video seats are real seats: you print the blank sheet, you wait for the close, you are asked to read a bar aloud. If that sounds rigid, it is. Chart interpretation that follows every tick is just commentary.

Credentials here are modest and local. Rhys is not a regulator, not a broker, and not a tipster. He teaches candlestick reading and session-by-session interpretation to adults who bring their own judgement to the market afterwards. UK bank holidays are skipped. Sterling and FTSE futures are the usual canvases because they pay respect to London’s clock.
