Glossary
The language of the craft.
Concise, factual definitions of the concepts behind TRADECRAFT — AI-native market intelligence, deterministic evidence, and the process language used throughout the product.
- AI-native market intelligence
- An approach where market screening, evidence and interpretation are built around AI from the ground up: a deterministic engine computes observable market facts and AI reasons over them, surfacing what deserves attention instead of issuing signals. Learn more.
- Attention Queue
- A short, ranked list of the market situations currently worth investigating, distilled from the full screened universe so you focus on what matters now. Learn more.
- Attention Priority
- The ranking that orders the Attention Queue by how much a situation warrants a closer look. It reflects structure and meaningful change — never a probability of profit. Learn more.
- Setup maturity
- Where a situation sits in its lifecycle, tracked through states from early formation to trigger or invalidation, so you can see how a setup is developing. Learn more.
- EARLY
- A setup-maturity state indicating a situation is only beginning to form; structure is developing and no trigger condition is near. Learn more.
- DEVELOPING
- A setup-maturity state indicating structure is building and the situation is progressing, but has not yet approached a trigger. Learn more.
- NEAR TRIGGER
- A setup-maturity state indicating a situation is approaching the conditions that would make it actionable. Learn more.
- TRIGGERED
- A setup-maturity state indicating the defined conditions for the situation have been met. Learn more.
- INVALIDATED
- A setup-maturity state indicating the conditions that defined the thesis have been broken, so the original read no longer holds. Learn more.
- Deterministic market analysis
- Objective, repeatable calculation of observable market facts — structure, trend, momentum, levels, risk/reward — that produces the same result from the same data, independent of AI. Learn more.
- AI interpretation
- The reasoning layer that reads over deterministic evidence to form a thesis. It is clearly labelled, can be wrong, and cannot silently invent or override the calculated facts. Learn more.
- Human + AI analysis
- A workflow where you commit your own read first, TRADECRAFT analyzes independently, and you compare — using AI to sharpen judgment rather than replace it. Learn more.
- Trading thesis
- A structured explanation of what a trader expects and why, grounded in specific evidence and paired with the conditions that would prove it wrong. Learn more.
- Alternative thesis
- A credible competing interpretation of the same evidence, shown alongside the primary thesis so a single narrative is never assumed. Learn more.
- Thesis invalidation
- The explicit condition that would prove a thesis wrong. Every TRADECRAFT thesis carries one so you know in advance when to abandon it. Learn more.
- Confluence
- The degree to which independent pieces of evidence agree. Stronger confluence means more factors point the same way; conflicts are shown rather than hidden. Learn more.
- Multi-timeframe analysis
- Evaluating a market across several timeframes at once to see whether higher- and lower-timeframe structure align or disagree. Learn more.
- Process Score
- A measure of decision quality — setup, risk, plan, execution, psychology and reflection — that evaluates how well you traded, independent of whether the outcome won or lost. Learn more.
- PASS
- A valid, professional decision to take no trade when evidence or conditions don't justify one. In TRADECRAFT, choosing not to trade can be the correct process. Learn more.
- Historical replay
- Practicing on real past market data that advances candle by candle, so you experience how structure unfolded without knowing what happens next. Learn more.
- No look-ahead
- A guarantee that historical training never leaks future data into the past, so replay and scenarios test genuine decision-making. Learn more.
- Competency
- Demonstrated skill across market-reading dimensions, earned through activity and assessment. Competency — not payment — determines access to advanced capabilities. Learn more.
- Coach
- An assistance mode focused on teaching: guiding you through concepts and building foundational market-reading skill. Learn more.
- Copilot
- An assistance mode that supports you while you work, offering contextual help as you analyze — without deciding for you. Learn more.
- Analyst
- A capability that produces structured analysis of a single market: deterministic evidence plus AI interpretation with a thesis, an alternative, conflicting evidence and explicit invalidation. Learn more.
- Intelligence
- A capability that screens the whole supported universe and surfaces the few situations that currently deserve attention, with maturity states and priority. Learn more.
