Flagship sitting
Volume Participation Workshop
Two consecutive days in a small Suffolk room, reading session volume together until you can say whether a move had genuine participation.
£485 per person · Two days, 09:30–16:30, plus a thirty-minute follow-up call within two weeks
Who it is for
Discretionary traders and private investors who already keep a chart but cannot yet judge whether a move was supported by genuine participation. You should be comfortable with a bar or candlestick chart and with the idea of a session open and close. No prior Wyckoff or volume-spread study is required.
What you should leave able to do
You leave able to classify a session’s volume as initiative, responsive, or empty, and to withhold a trade when effort and result disagree. The test is spoken, not software: you should be able to talk through a printed page of bars without reaching for an overlay.
Scope
London cash hours form the spine of both days. We also mark selected US-session prints on a liquid equity and one gilt future so you see how participation reads when the local crowd is thinner. We do not cover options flow, order-book heat maps, or automated scanning.
Where and how
A hired meeting room in Framlingham for full groups of eight to ten. Groups of four or fewer may sit at 24 Grey Street, Kettleburgh, when the diary allows.
Helen Ward, principal tutor, with Marcus Bell sitting in on chart-marking blocks when the group is at capacity.
Included
- Printed chart pack covering FTSE 100 cash, a liquid gilt future, and one widely followed UK equity
- Marked-up volume journal template for the fortnight after the room
- Lunch on both days
- Thirty-minute follow-up call within two weeks to review three of your own marked sessions
Not included
- Trade signals, watchlists, or account management
- Software licences or a recommended charting package
- A recording of the room
- Overnight accommodation
How a booking proceeds
- Submit a place request with three recent sessions you have already marked, even roughly.
- We confirm the date, send the pre-work brief, and post the chart pack.
- Two days in the room: morning lecture on definitions, afternoon marking of live and historic prints.
- Follow-up call to check whether your own journal still matches the language used in the room.
Preparation and limits
Bring a pencil, a ruler, and three printed sessions from your own book — the same instrument, consecutive days if possible. Screens are allowed for reference; the marking work happens on paper.
Maximum ten people. We do not take complete beginners who have never watched a full session. If you need one-to-one pace, request a Chart Review Session instead.
Request a place through the contact form, naming the workshop date you want. We reply within two working days with availability and the pre-work brief.
