Preparing charts for a supervised markup hour

Arrive with one market, not five. Export or print the daily chart covering three months and the four-hour chart covering six weeks. Hide oscillators for the first pass; volume may stay if you habitually use it to confirm rejection.

Limit yourself to five horizontal marks before the session starts. The instructor needs to see your current judgment, not a blank canvas and not a spiderweb. Label each line with the date of the touch that convinced you. That small annotation turns a vague “I felt it was important” into something we can argue about productively.
