Config Mapcore sits eight adults around a table and marks swing highs by hand. No overlays, no live prices, and no story about easy money — only chart structure and market basics for people who are starting from a blank page.
A teaching room, not a dealing floor
A price chart is a history of trades arranged in time. Beginners are usually handed nicknames for candlestick shapes and a screen full of lines before anyone has explained the four numbers inside a single bar. In this room we reverse that.
You plot a candle from a short table of figures. You mark a handful of turning points and erase the rest. You practise saying when a stretch is a range rather than a trend. That is the map. Everything else is furniture.
Six Tuesday evenings for adults who have never sat with a printed daily chart. Helen Cartwright teaches every session. Eight chairs, printed FTSE and share packs, tea at half time.
£285 for the six evenings, materials included.
A Saturday primer, a single table hour, or quiet practice after you graduate the series.
A Saturday morning in Farnham for people who feel lost in the vocabulary before they even open a chart: what a session is, what bid and offer mean in ordinary speech, and why a chart is a history of traded prices rather than a forecast.
Lesson notes
A single table session with Helen. Bring a printed chart that has been confusing you, or work through a pack from the school. The hour is for looking at one page slowly, not for a tour of every market you follow.
Lesson notes
A quiet 90 minutes for people who have already finished the Chart Structure Workshop. You mark a new pack under supervision. It is not a club for swapping tips, and Helen does not present a market view.
Lesson notes
“Helen made me erase a whole row of swing dots I had scattered like confetti. The page looked poorer and I could finally see the trend I thought I had already found.”
Config Mapcore does not collect star ratings or promise a change in anyone’s account. What we can show is how people describe the slow work — including the evenings that felt too basic until the unmarked sheet arrived.
These are classroom notes, not market commentary. Nothing here is a view on where a price will go.
In the Chart Structure Workshop the third evening is the one people remember, because it is the first time Helen takes the eraser to a page that looked busy and proud. This note is for anyone who wonders why we delay the colourful overlays.
Pattern nicknames travel faster than arithmetic. In Farnham we spend a whole evening building candles from a table of figures so that a wick is no longer a mysterious thorn.
