Foundation

Start here

This is the WorldBase field manual. It teaches you how to name what price is doing, how to write a testable process, and how to size a loss before you take it. It does not tell you what to buy.

WorldBase Traders Toolbox is a reading room and a workbench. The reading room gives you plain definitions for candles, chart patterns, indicators, and market history. The workbench is the desk: a position-size calculator, a pre-trade checklist, an expectancy calculator, a result journal, and a flashcard deck. Progress, notes, and journal rows stay in this browser, on this device.

Section 01

A sensible order

The zones follow the community map. Foundation is the language. System builder is the process. Mastery is judgment, history, and recall. You can jump around. You will understand the later pages faster if you do not skip risk.

  1. Read Key concepts through the section on risk. Then open the desk and run the worked example. Do not change the example into a trade.
  2. Study Candlesticks and Chart patterns. Say each figure out loud in one sentence: what the shape is, and what it does not prove.
  3. Read Building a system and write one rule you could hand to a stranger. If a stranger could not mark the same bars, the rule is still a feeling.
  4. Use Trading systems and Indicators to choose a style and to stop misreading tools. Then read Advanced concepts and the market studies.
  5. After each zone, do a short flashcard pass. When a card stings, go back to the page. The card is a pointer, not a second textbook.

Section 02

If you came from the community

The Discord channels were a map. This toolbox is the same map, written out so a page can hold a full explanation and a figure.

  • Foundation holds Start here, Key concepts, Candlesticks, and Chart patterns.
  • System builder holds Building a system, Trading systems, and Indicators.
  • Mastery holds Market studies, Advanced concepts, and the flashcard deck.
  • The library is a shelf of real books, each with a reason to read it and a reason not to obey it.
  • Glossary is the dictionary. The Questions page is your private list. Conversation with other members still happens in the WorldBase community, not inside this page.

Section 03

How to read a page

Every lesson opens with a short version. The rest of the page earns that sentence. Figures are constructed drawings. Their captions say what to see. If a caption and a memory from another course disagree, trust the definition on the page, then check the named source, not a screenshot with a win rate painted on it.

Mark a lesson studied only after you can answer its checks without looking. Studied means you did the reading. It does not mean you have an edge.
