Market Basics Hub
A hub for market structure, indexes, sectors, orders, and basic investing concepts.
Core concepts
Use this hub when you need the foundation layer: what investing is, how the US market works, what indexes and sectors represent, and how order mechanics shape execution quality.
This is the right starting point if market vocabulary still feels unfamiliar or if you need a clean explanation before moving deeper into research workflows.
