'I realise that many people probably think I am completely mad when I say that at times I can’t help but feel there is a “silent hand” drawing my charts. The perfection can be quite overwhelming and on this occasion it is the uptrend on the XJO. Makes the many hours spent worthwhile'. PB

Hi Paddington.

I don’t think you’re mad. I presume you have more than 10,000hours charting. As the saying goes, you are an expert by now, possibly even maestro level.

I think the ‘unseeing hand’ is your right hemisphere, creative tapping into your inner Maestress. Because you draw by hand, that expert conductress has direct access to your pencil to create your beautiful, eraser smudged, hand-drawn charts.
