Written after the packet went home
These notes name a sitting, a bar, or a constraint. They were sent after the hour, and we kept the hesitation in them.
Volume Participation Clinic · October 2025
I kept writing “buyers” whenever a bar closed up. Subin made me replace it with the column height. The chart got quieter, and I could finally see the dry-up on the third afternoon. I still reach for the old word when I am marking alone.
Marked Volume Review · January 2026
I brought a Samsung Electronics daily I had already labelled in three colours. Most of the hour was spent deleting labels that described a story the volume column did not support. We circled two bars for the next week. I had hoped for more circles. Two was the honest count.
Morning Tape Hour · 4 March 2026
The open that morning was heavier than the sheet’s recent range, then it went quiet before 09:40. Bae Nari would not let us write a close target. I left with three lines and a slight annoyance that the hour ended while I still wanted a fourth. The annoyance faded once I looked at the afternoon and saw that the fourth line would have been wrong.
A clinic packet, spring 2026
Park Minseok came to the April clinic with a habit of screenshotting the volume pane and never writing on it. He works in Yuseong and could make the Tuesday and Thursday evenings. The instrument that month was a liquid shipbuilder. He did not follow it, which annoyed him on evening one and helped him by evening three, because he had no prior opinion to defend.
On evening two the packet contained a very tall column after a gap open. Minseok wanted to call the move finished. Kang Subin covered the tall column and asked for a description of the next three bars only. Two of them overlapped the tall bar’s range on much shorter volume. The third closed back inside the prior day. His log, which he let us quote, read: “Tall column spent. Next three lighter. Close given back. I do not know the next morning.”
He booked a marked review six weeks later with his own holding, a smaller KOSDAQ name. The review did not repeat the clinic. It checked eleven notes he had made at his kitchen table. Four notes matched the bars. The other seven used “pressure” without saying whether the column was tall or short. Those seven were rewritten in the margin. He said the kitchen table was harder than the room, because nobody stopped his pencil.
