Make three tools speak one sentence

A classroom habit for writing a confluence claim that names each indicator’s job instead of stacking jargon.

In the Gali room we ask students to write one sentence before they speak. The sentence must name three tools and what each one is doing, not what the student hopes the market will do. A weak sentence sounds like “RSI is overbought so I would sell.” A usable sentence sounds like “RSI is stretched, MACD histogram is still rising, and volume on the last up bar is thinner than the prior thrust.”

The second sentence is allowed to be a question. If two tools agree and the third is silent, the student writes the silence. Confluence is not a vote that must always pass. It is a disciplined way of noticing disagreement.

Bring that written sentence to the next evening. We pin a few of them on the side board and edit them as a group. The edit is usually about verbs: stretched, fading, agreeing, contradicting. Vague nouns such as “signal” are removed.
