Desk glossary

Short definitions for the words we reuse in news and insights — so every article speaks the same language.

  • One vocabulary across the desk
  • Plain language over cult jargon
  • Built for readers, not signal bots

Acceptance

Price spends time and prints follow-through beyond a level — more than a single spike through it.

Invalidation

The condition that would make our stated bias wrong. Every serious note should name one.

Range

A two-sided auction between defined swing high and swing low until a break with acceptance.

Sweep

A brief run beyond a level that collects stops or resting orders, often followed by a reclaim.

Higher-timeframe bias

The directional lean taken from daily/4H structure that frames lower-timeframe noise.

Desk note

Our short-form research post: evidence, levels, and what would change our mind — never an auto-executed order.

FAQ

Will this glossary grow?

Yes. When news or insights introduce a recurring term, we add it here and link back so SEO clusters stay tight.
