TickerMantis Academy
Learn the map. Build the routine.
Start with the chart language behind TickerMantis—candles, bases, departures, lifecycle and quality—then turn that understanding into a repeatable scan, shortlist and alert workflow.
Educational material only. Nothing in the Academy is investment advice or a recommendation on any security.
Updated 9 August 2026 · Track version 1.1
Move from the candle to the complete zone
Observe — compare body, wick and range, then distinguish a compact pause from an impulsive candle.
Map — read the leg-in, base and leg-out, identify the four zone patterns and locate the proximal and distal edges.
Qualify — interpret departure, base quality, freshness, location and structure as evidence rather than a prediction.
Model versus observation. Candles show traded price, not resting orders. The Academy teaches the chart model and how to interpret TickerMantis outputs; it does not publish detection thresholds, scoring weights or source code.
Four lessons, in order
Begin with the complete method, then zoom in on the base, the zone lifecycle and the evidence behind quality grades. Each lesson uses schematic charts so the concept stays separate from any particular security.
01
Supply & Demand Fundamentals
Build the full map: imbalance, zone anatomy, the four patterns, boundaries, lifecycle, quality, location and structure.
- Leg-in, base and leg-out
- Demand and supply patterns
- Proximal and distal edges
Lesson 01 · Beginner overview
02
Reading the Base
Learn how TickerMantis separates a compact pause from a moving candle and a decisive departure from ordinary drift.
- Candle classification
- Compact pauses and departures
- Displacement and confirmation
Lesson 02 · Beginner to intermediate
03
The Zone Lifecycle in Detail
Follow a zone from confirmed departure through its first test, repeated interaction and structural failure.
- Fresh, tested and consumed
- Wicks versus closes
- Nested higher-timeframe zones
Lesson 03 · Intermediate
04
What Fair, Good and Best Measure
Understand how multiple observations combine into a quality band and why no grade is a forecast or trade instruction.
- Departure and base quality
- Freshness and structural context
- Reading combined evidence
Lesson 04 · Intermediate
Turn the map into a repeatable routine
Use the same sequence at the start of each session. The goal is not more charts; it is a smaller, ranked set of charts worth your attention.
01
Prepare the watchlist
Create the TradingView symbol universe you want TickerMantis to check before you open individual charts.
- Choose the NSE or BSE symbols relevant to you
- Keep one clean list for the scan
- Select a supported Screener interval
Routine 01 · Before the session
02
Run and rank the scan
Select TM Screener, set your filters, run one pass and put the smallest zone distance at the top.
- Filter by Setup, Side and Quality
- Sort by exact Distance %
- Use Entry and Zone Width for context
Routine 02 · First action at market open
03
Review only the shortlist
Open the nearest, highest-quality candidates in TM S&D Pro and decide which belong on today’s active watch.
- Confirm the side returned by the scan
- Review execution, trend and location context
- Reject weak context instead of forcing a setup
Routine 03 · Fewer charts, deeper review
04
Set alerts and step away
Create the two alerts that define the routine: a new qualifying zone and price entering your chosen approach distance.
- New qualifying zone confirmed
- Price near the zone entry
- TradingView-supported delivery channels
Routine 04 · Monitor without chart hopping
Learn the map. Then see it on your chart.
Use the Academy to understand what a zone represents. TM S&D Lite maps zones on the chart for free; the Pro Combo adds confirmed trend, higher-timeframe location, watchlist screening and alerts.
Academy lessons explain how to use TickerMantis as a discretionary research workflow. They do not publish the proprietary engine, provide security recommendations, targets or performance claims.
