Markup Desk

A practice room for entry and exit rules — not a livestream of tips. Bring your playbook, mark a shared pack, and leave with clearer stamps for triggers, invalidation, and hard aborts.

What a Desk evening is for

Markup Desk sits between classroom teaching and live trading. You already know what a breakout or pullback looks like. The Desk asks you to apply your written rules to unfamiliar bars under light facilitation.

Evenings are ninety minutes. Most of that time is quiet marking. We open with a short focus — reclaim entries, protective stops, or trail rules — then hand out a chart pack aligned to that focus.

You do not receive trade recommendations. You receive contested bars to judge, and a chance to compare how strictly you applied your own wording versus someone else’s.

Typical evening flow

Frame

We restate the evening’s rule focus and the stamps you will use: trigger pass, trigger fail, stop valid, abort now, stand aside.

Mark

You annotate the pack against your playbook. No chat during the first marking block — the point is your decision, not the room’s average opinion.

Compare

We open two or three contested bars only. Disagreement usually traces back to fuzzy wording, which you then tighten.

Close

You note one rule tweak or one habit to keep. Homework is optional; Intensive alumni often bring the same sheet to the next Open Markup Evening.

Who should book

  • Graduates of the Entry & Exit Intensive who want accountability without another full course
  • Clinic participants tightening an exit checklist
  • Mentoring clients who need reps between private sessions

If you are brand new to written entry plans, start with the Entry & Exit Intensive first. Markup Desk assumes you already have draft rules to apply.

Drop-in evenings are listed under Open Markup Evening. Ask on the contact form if you want the next Desk date for your timezone.
