Tech Canvas Point

East Rounton

A classroom that started as a chart book

Tech Canvas Point is a small teaching room on Ockham Road. We sit with printed weekly charts and practise momentum indicators and confirmation techniques until the second mark is a habit rather than a hope.

Quiet library shelves filled with bound volumes

Why “canvas”

Ellis Ward kept a cloth-bound book of weekly traces — FTSE names, a couple of sterling crosses, the same pencils for years. He called the book the canvas because a screen could be refreshed into forgetfulness and paper would not. Neighbours who had been chopped up by an RSI dip asked to sit with it. The sitting outgrew the kitchen.

The classroom at 95 Ockham Road East Rounton opened so that those sittings could have a door, a kettle, and a rule: no entry sentence until a second, independent mark is on the page. We still print the week. We still dislike a pile of related oscillators pretending to be confirmation.

How we work with you

We take the settings you already use. We do not hunt for a prettier length in hindsight. If you have a journal, it comes to the table. If you do not, we start one with dates and reasons, not with a score. The work is slow on purpose. North Yorkshire is a long way from a dealing room, and we use that distance.

What we will not claim

We do not sell a method that “wins”. We teach how to wait, how to name which sentence an oscillator uttered, and how to refuse a rhyme. Markets remain free to continue after a tidy divergence. That fact stays in the room.

Ellis Ward

Principal tutor

Ellis keeps the classroom at East Rounton and sits chart-side during the week. He learned to wait the long way: a private chart book of UK equities and sterling crosses, marked weekly, through years when an RSI dip felt like a duty. The intensive is his refusal to let that habit pass unexamined to anyone who asks for a seat.

Confirmation drill

Priya runs the afternoon drill on intensive Saturdays and leads the oscillator clinics. She is the person who asks whether your second mark is truly a second fact or only another way of saying the first. Before joining the table she taught adult evening classes in York on reading a weekly chart without rushing the close.
