Reviews
What traders say after working through stop distance, structure breaks, and position size at the chart desk.
“I finally stopped sizing positions from a round percentage and started measuring distance to the last higher low. The workshop spent two hours on that alone — which was exactly what I needed.”
The evening lab felt repetitive at first — same structure questions on three different charts. By the third one I realised that was the point. I still hesitate when a break is messy, but at least I now write “no trade” instead of shrinking the stop.
My one-to-one review was blunt about a TSMC swing idea I had already entered. The stop I used sat inside prior structure; we rebuilt it outside the last swing low and cut size. I wish I had booked the review before the entry, not after.
Useful day, though the FX examples moved faster than the equity ones and I needed the worksheet answers emailed afterward. Once I had those, the sizing math stuck.
Extended note — Workshop, then two weeks of practice

Lesson: Chart Structure Risk Workshop, then one follow-up chart email
Before the workshop she routinely risked a flat 1% of account on every idea and moved stops when candles “looked weak.” During the session she practised measuring stop distance from swing structure on weekly and daily charts of domestic names. In the follow-up email she submitted a post-break pullback idea; the reply focused only on whether her invalidation line still matched the structure she had drawn, and on recalculating size after the stop moved two ticks wider. She reported fewer mid-trade stop moves over the next fortnight — not because entries improved, but because the invalidation sentence was written before the order.
