Hands writing on printed papers at a table

Every core course evening begins with a sealed print. You mark effort and result in pencil. Only after the room has committed do we project the subsequent bars.

The point is not nostalgia. It is to slow the hand. Volume Price Analysis is a sequence of small judgements. If the platform can erase your first judgement, you never find out whether it was any good.

Students who prefer screens still use them at home. In Samaedam, the first pass stays analogue.
