Observe · Navigation & field study

A classified visual
record of the market.

The Atlas turns examples into classified evidence. Each case records the initial condition, observed state, transition, and outcome — without rewriting the story after the fact.

How a case is built

An Atlas case teaches one observable relationship; it does not prove a universal rule.

01
Observe
Preserve what price actually did, including opens, closes, containment, pressure, and failed tests.
02
Classify
Identify Formation, Organization, Expansion, or an unresolved transition using defined vocabulary.
03
Compare
Build a searchable record that can reveal recurring behavior across instruments, sessions, and anchors.
Sample case record

Every complete case answers six questions. Missing fields stay visible so uncertainty is documented instead of hidden.

Atlas Case — SPY, opening range Anchor
Formation
Which Anchor and Formation Zone define the measurement?
Pressure
What buying and selling asymmetry is observable?
Trajectory
Which probable orientation does the evidence support?
Route
What path is price actually following?
Navigation
How did price move relative to the Route?
Destination
Where did the Route arrive, and was it confirmed?
From Framework to Atlas

Every case begins with the same three universal states defined in the Framework — classify the state first, apply operational labels only after the state is clear.

A completed Expansion eventually produces a new Formation. Read the full model in the Framework.
