What was published

On 11 November 2026, 4:55 a.m. Pacific, /glossary grew from 13 to 105 educational concept entries, in four categories:

Each entry has a definition, how traders use it, a common mistake, and related terms, with a stable anchor id. The page has sticky category navigation, a filter that works without a framework, and 27 static, accessible SVG candle diagrams. The diagrams are schematic. They are not real price data.

All 13 original ids and definitions are unchanged.

The page is labeled “Concepts only.” These describe how traders talk about charts. They are not signals, not a strategy, and not trades Josh has taken. No pattern on the page is given a performance statistic on this site.

Candlestick names follow common usage popularised in Western markets by Steve Nison; Wyckoff terms follow Richard D. Wyckoff’s method; ATR is from J. Welles Wilder. “Smart money” terms (order block, breaker, fair value gap, change of character) are community vocabulary with varying definitions. That source note is on the glossary page itself.

Each term now also has its own static page under /glossary/[id], so a single concept can be linked and shared directly.
