Journal reading is for work already done. There is no live chart and no performance on the day. Ellis reads what you wrote at the time, not the story you would tell now that the bar has closed.
The most common finding is a reason that names an oscillator and then describes an entry that happened before any second mark. We do not scold. We put a line in the margin. If you want to sit with those margins in person, the next step is chart-side coaching, not a longer letter.
Who it is for
Traders who already keep a date, market, direction, and reason, and who want those reasons tested against momentum and confirmation.
What you leave with
A marked copy and a letter of no more than two pages. We do not rewrite your personality. We circle dates.
Scope
One calendar month, or forty lines, whichever is smaller. Extra months are a second fee.
On the table
- A marked copy of the pages you send
- A letter naming the pattern we saw more than twice
- One clarifying question you may answer by email at no extra charge
Not included
- A sitting at the table (book coaching if you want that)
- Forward-looking tips on named shares
- Help with a dispute with a broker
How the sitting runs
-
Send
Scan or post the month. Include the chart if the reason mentions RSI, MACD, or stochastic.
-
Read
We mark each line: momentum only, confirmation present, or neither.
-
Return
The letter goes out within ten working days of the pack arriving complete.
Preparation
If your journal is only in a notes app, export it as a dated list. We cannot work from screenshots of a brokerage ticket alone.
Constraints
We do not accept journals that include other people's account numbers or anything you would not want on a classroom table. Illegible scans are returned unread and the fee refunded.
