Every Word You Will Meet

Every other paper in this library argues something. This one answers the question you have while reading them: what does that word mean. A hundred and twelve terms, grouped by where you meet them rather than by alphabet, each given a line — and the visual ones drawn, because a definition of a wick that contains no wick is asking you to picture the thing being explained. A one-line definition is a compression, and most words survive it intact. The last section is the handful that do not: leverage, drawdown, win rate, average, backtest, risk-free. For those the short definition is not wrong, it is incomplete in the exact place that costs money, and the paper says where.
