Notes from students who brought their charts
These accounts mention specific labeling habits, session formats, and constraints—not star ratings or marketplace widgets.
I arrived with counts that jumped degrees mid-panel. The clinic made me declare degree first, then ink. My alternate counts are slower now, which is exactly what I needed—even if the evening felt stricter than I expected.
Private tutoring on my Hang Seng panels caught how often I labeled a B-wave before measuring the A-wave length. The written habit notes were blunt and useful.
The half-day intensive finally separated flats from zigzags on the quiet overnight ranges I keep misreading. Four panels, two critique rounds, and a classification card I still keep on the desk.
Journal review scored three weeks of pages and showed my degree drift on Fridays. Not flattering, but the checklist gave me something concrete for the next month.
Small room, copper lamps, no theatrical market calls—just annotation. I liked leaving with my own marked sheets rather than a slide deck.
Extended note — Annotation Clinic, spring cohort
A Kowloon futures trader arrived with panels that shifted from minor to intermediate mid-impulse. Across three clinic evenings the instructors required a written degree line before any numbering. By the third night the student’s take-home pack showed stable degree declarations and clearer invalidation margins, though the student still preferred longer critique rounds than the schedule allowed.
Extended note — Journal Review after six weeks
A returning Sha Tin student submitted a bilingual journal with English Elliott labels. The review flagged Friday pages where corrective labels were inked before measuring B-wave retracements. The checklist asked for a weekend pencil-only rule for two weeks; the student reported fewer erased finals when they returned for the next open clinic.
