Head and shoulders is a drawing, not a slogan.

At Synap Parallax we print the daily chart, pass a pencil, and withhold the name of a pattern until the person across the table can point to the same lines. That is the whole of our technical analysis training in chart pattern recognition.

Request a Tuesday seat

Twelve seats, one round table, daily bars only.

The studio sits at 61 Seongwoon-ro. People come after a shift at the yards or after a day on a desk elsewhere. Charts are printed large enough that a wick is something you can disagree about with a finger, not a pixel you have to trust.

We study classical shapes: head and shoulders, double tops and bottoms, triangles, flags, pennants, and wedges. A pattern earns its name here only after the construction is visible. If the lines will not hold, the honest sentence is that the chart is still a range.

Orders stay outside the room. The work is recognition — naming, sketching, and saying what would make the name wrong.

Six Tuesdays, and the name comes last.

The Recognition Circle is the lesson we are built around. It runs 19:10 to 21:30, six weeks in a row. Evening one is necklines. By evening six you have a sketchbook and a clearer sense of which drawings you still do not trust.

Han Dohyun leads. Bae Nari joins when the room turns to flags and to patterns that failed. The fee is ₩520,000, with a deposit that holds the seat. Twelve places. The next circle is scheduled for Tuesdays from 6 October through 10 November 2026.

Read the six evenings

Come for an hour, a Saturday, or a failed chart.

“I left the first Tuesday annoyed. Han made us redraw the same neckline four times because my line cut through a wick he said belonged to the shoulder. He was right, and I still think forty minutes on one line is a lot when you have come straight from a shift.”
