Mark overnight support before the Bangkok open, then leave it alone
On Chan Road we print the previous session before anyone is allowed to talk about the new one. Support and resistance that were not tested yesterday still exist this morning. They do not become more real because a commentator has a new story.
The overnight high, the overnight low, and any unused swing from the prior afternoon go on the sheet in pencil. If a level was already spent — tagged, rejected, and left behind — it goes in a narrower column labelled leftovers. Leftovers can still matter. They do not get the same weight as untouched structure.
Thai cash names often gap a little at 09:30. A gap through a pre-marked line is not a reason to invent a replacement line underneath the first print. It is a reason to write “spent” next to the old one and wait to see whether the market comes back to it. Coming back is a retest. Inventing a new shelf because you feel uncovered is decoration.
Students who arrive with a phone full of other people’s levels are asked to put the phone face down. The point of the intensive is not to collect lines. It is to know, at 09:28, which two or three prices you are willing to defend if they are reached.
Leave the sheet alone through the first half hour. If you cannot sit on your hands that long, you are not yet practising support and resistance. You are practising commentary.
