Glossary

The wiki backbone.

The Glossary is not a discipline: it is the systematic index of terms used in Cyclepedia — markets, orders, technical, cyclic, volumetric, fundamental, systematic, AI, risk, crypto, derivatives, psychology and anti-scam.

Menu → Encyclopedia → Glossary — Lexical reference while reading any discipline. To start trading: concetti and bronze-path. For Hurst theory: Market Cycles → Foundations.

Glossary vs Concepts vs Disciplines

Hub	Role	Example
concetti	Introductory lessons on instruments and markets	Trend, volume, stop loss
Glossary ← you are here	Encyclopedic term definition	FLD, spread, backtest
discipline-cyclic-analysis etc.	Introduction to a major branch	Cyclic analysis, volume…
fondamenti (Market Cycles)	Hurst cyclic theory	Price motion model

Rule of thumb: if you want what a word means, you're in the glossary. If you want how to use it in a method, go to Methodologies or a tradition (Hurst/Wyckoff).
