The clinic is denser than the studio group and thinner on homework. It suits a visitor who is in Bangkok for a fortnight, or a local reader who wants the names in their mouth before committing to six weeks. Saturday is reversal candles. Sunday is continuation candles and a long marking session.
Pace and paper
We still refuse to run the day as a slide show. After each family is drawn on the board, the tables get a sheet of historical candles with the dates removed. You mark. Then we restore the dates and the prior trend. The embarrassment of a “bullish hammer” that sat at the top of a three-week rise is useful, and it happens in the room rather than later on a live account.
If you later join the small-group studio, the clinic fee is not deducted. They are different rooms of work. Several clinic students do go on to the eight-session cycle once they have felt the difference between naming a candle and defending it.
Who it is for
Newer chart readers, visitors to Bangkok who can spare a weekend, and studio applicants who have never named a harami out loud.
What you leave with
A working vocabulary of the main reversal and continuation candles and two annotated practice charts completed in the room.

How enrolment runs
-
Ask for the next clinic dates
We keep a short list rather than a public calendar, because the room is small.
-
Pay to confirm
The clinic fee holds both days.
-
Saturday
Reversal family: hammers, hanging men, shooting stars, engulfing bars, dojis, piercing and dark-cloud pairs.
-
Sunday
Continuation family, stars, and a long afternoon of marking clinic charts.
