Annotation Lab · Custom

How an evening in the lab unfolds

The annotation lab is the working room behind our Elliott wave clinics: copper rails for hanging prints, smoked boards for shared markup, and a rhythm designed for contested counts.

Evening sequence

From capped pens to signed sheets

A typical Annotation Clinic evening follows this arc. Private reviews compress the middle steps.

Arrival and chart hang

Prints clip to the copper rail. Facilitators skim first-pass labels without correcting them yet — the point is to see what each seat brought.

Degree naming aloud

The room names the largest completed structure in the window. Disagreement is welcomed; silence is not. Pens stay down until the degree is spoken.

Shared board markup

One projected chart receives copper and burgundy labels for preferred and alternate paths. Seats copy onto their own sheets.

Personal chart pass

Facilitators circulate. Invalidation lines are required before a sheet is considered finished. Alternate notes fill the right margin.

Close and open checklist

Each trader writes three checks for the next session open. Sheets are dated; photos are optional. The lab lights dim; the counts travel home.

Materials on the table

What the lab provides

Oversized prints on request, dual-colour pens, degree reference strips, and a quiet corner for private review appointments between group clinics.

What you bring

Your contested chart

One instrument you actually trade, a rough first-pass count, and willingness to abandon a favourite label when the price says so.
