Field notes
Thursday’s book and the weekly reread are different jobs, and mixing them is how traders either write novels or stop writing. The daily note has to be short enough to finish after the London cash close. The weekly reread is allowed to be slower. If you attempt the weekly job every afternoon, you will postpone both.
At Storage Mapcore we treat Thursday’s page as a timestamped record: times sat, orders, stop edits, one hidden decision, one constraint. We treat the weekly reread as a comparison of constraints. Did Monday’s line survive? Did you skip Friday again? The weekly page may mention P&L in summary. It should not rebuild every wick.
A split that holds
Daily: fifteen minutes or the sitting hour, never both on the same evening unless you are in a booked review. Weekly: one sitting at the weekend, with the four daily constraints in a list, and only then the charts. If the weekly reread starts with a blank because the dailies were skipped, the weekly job becomes “why the dailies vanished,” not a hunt for a better trend line.
This split is technical analysis training in the dull sense: it protects the evidence. Without Thursday’s book, Sunday is fiction. Without Sunday, Thursday never gets a second look. Keep them in their hours. If you want help installing that split, the four-week habit block is the form of work that repeats long enough for the split to stick.
