What we write in the margin, and what we refuse to write

Margin notes in this classroom are verbs: held, failed, accepted, rejected. They are not price targets.

Students arrive wanting a number to aim at. We give them a vocabulary instead. Held and failed are cheaper to be wrong about than a target three handles away.

In coaching sittings I ask people to read their own margins aloud. If the note sounds like a prediction, we strike it and replace it with a location: ‘sellers still at the opening high’ is a sentence you can check at 15:00.

This is why the academy does not run a signal desk and does not display live P&L on the wall. The room is for reading. Money decisions stay with you after you leave Banmoh.

If that sounds slower than a video course, it is. The four-week class is built around that slowness.
