About
A chart desk that grew into a teaching studio
Framework Design began as evening mark-up sessions among Tasmanian traders who were tired of indicator overload. Those sessions became structured technical analysis courses with the same insistence on structure before signals.
How we work with traders
Classes stay small. Every participant marks charts aloud at least once per intake. We use ASX equities and major indices so the examples match the markets most students already watch. Instructors annotate failures as carefully as clean setups — markets rarely gift perfect textbook shapes.
We do not publish trade signals, manage accounts, or recommend brokers. The commercial relationship is education: you pay for courses, workshops, or mentoring hours. Personal financial advice sits outside our remit under Australian rules, and we keep that boundary visible in every enrolment note.

Instructors
Tom Harkin
Focuses on continuation and reversal setups with annotated ASX charts drawn from live sessions rather than textbook ideals.
Elena Voss
Runs one-to-one chart reviews for traders who already know the basics and need disciplined risk framing around entries.
Values that show up in class
- Evidence over ornament — lines must earn their place on the chart.
- Plain language for risk — invalidation stated before size.
- Respect for time — homework stays finite and reviewable.
- Local honesty — Tasmania studio culture, remote seats treated as full participants.
Community
Graduates sometimes return as guest chart presenters in later intakes. The discussion board closes when the cohort ends; ongoing questions move to mentoring blocks so Foundations stays a contained experience rather than an open chat room.
