The studio

A small room on Rama IV, after the office day ends

Runtime Maphub began as Tuesday evenings for people who already traded, and who kept describing failed breakouts as bad luck. The luck was usually a missing close, a wandering stop, or a share count chosen after the candle looked brave.

Khlong Toei is not a metaphor. It is where the classroom door is, a short way along Rama IV.

Why printed charts

A replay lets you pretend you knew the close. A screen full of drawings from last month lets you pretend the range was always that clean. Paper is slower. You have to date the high. You have to circle the candle you claim ended the idea. The room can point at the same page without fighting a zoom level.

We still use a projector. We still allow tablets. The rule is that the decision has to survive being held up in the second row.

Who comes

Most seats have day jobs in Bangkok. They trade SET names in the regular session, or gold and a US index after dinner. A few travel in from other districts for the month. We teach in English because the mixed room asked for it, and because the sentences we care about — close, invalidation, size — need to be the same sentence for everyone at the table.

We do not take people who have never placed a live order. That is not snobbery. Week one assumes you already know how your broker fills, and that you have a folder of real attempts, including the ugly ones.

How we work with you

Art will stop a speech that cannot land on a level. Nalinee will stop a worksheet that still says the size depends on how the break ‘feels’. Mei Lin will send your chart pack back if the ranges have no dates. None of that is a performance. It is how a four-week sitting stays about breakouts instead of about mood.

At the table

Who you will sit with

Arthit Saengkaew

Classroom lead

Art spent years on an execution desk at a Bangkok brokerage, sitting next to people who bought breakouts they could not define. He now runs the Tuesday workshop and the desk reviews. He still prefers a printed page to a replay, because a replay lets you pretend you knew the close.

Risk sittings

Nalinee came from a securities compliance seat, which is a polite way of saying she has read too many files where the size did not match the stop. She runs the half-day risk sittings and sits in on week three of the workshop. She will stop a worksheet that still says 'depends how it looks'.

Chart packs and evenings

Mei Lin prepares the printed packs and hosts some of the Open Chart Evenings. She traded SET names from Singapore before moving to Bangkok, and she is the person who will ask you to date the range on the page if you wave at the high with a finger.

The door

The classroom is at 3797/49-50 Rama Iv Phra Khanong Khlong Toei, Bangkok, Bangkok, 10110, Thailand. Evenings start at 18:30 for the workshop. Write before you come; the door is not a shopfront for walk-in tips.
