Screen review habits for study groups
The practices we teach in every Corefieldhub session — distilled into a reference your group can adopt before booking facilitation.
Why habits matter more than indicators
Study groups rarely fail because members lack indicators. They fail because screen time is unstructured — no agreed timeframe, no written invalidation, no one keeping the clock. These habits address that gap.
The fifteen-minute opening
Before any chart appears: confirm the review sequence (context → levels → volume → invalidation), assign tonight's timekeeper, and read last week's open questions aloud.
One chart, one presenter
Each member brings a single chart on a market they actively follow. Presenters get six to eight minutes. Others mark up only after the presenter has stated their thesis and invalidation level.
Shared annotation key
Agree colours for support, resistance, zones under review, and invalidated levels. Print the key. Tape it beside the screen. Refer to it when markup drifts.
Written close
End every session with three lines: what changed, what we still do not know, and who presents next week. The note-keeper sends this within an hour.
Roles that keep reviews honest
Presenter
Brings one chart, states timeframe and invalidation before inviting comment. Does not defend — only clarifies what they marked and why.
Timekeeper
Signals at the six-minute mark. Calls a hard stop at eight. Prevents one enthusiastic chart from consuming the evening.
Note-keeper
Records agreed levels, open questions, and next week's presenter rotation. Sends the summary before anyone leaves the room or call.
When to bring in a facilitator
Groups often self-facilitate successfully once these habits are embedded. Consider external facilitation when:
- A new member joins and needs onboarding without derailing the group's rhythm
- Discussions repeatedly end in stalemate over timeframe or line placement
- Annotation has drifted and members can no longer read each other's charts
- You want an impartial voice during a period of higher market volatility
