Quickstart
Configure the workspace, inspect a scanner event, and validate it in the linked ticker context.

Open the workspace
During the private preview, workspace access is restricted to the administrator account. After signing in, the default Workspace is focused on active small-cap and momentum scanning. Layouts and the market-cap universe can be changed under Settings → Trading.
Choose the market universe
Open Settings → Trading → Market Universe. Choose Micro, Small, or Mid, or enter a custom maximum market capitalization. This setting is shared by scanner, mover, catalyst, news, offering, and filing widgets.
- 1General controls set scanner identity, enabled state, pause state, and display time zone.
- 2Density, maximum rows, and auto-scroll control the ranked-list presentation.
- 3Alert-display controls change row emphasis without changing qualification logic.
- 4RVOL, gap, float, and range tiers apply explicit metric emphasis.
Work a scanner event
TraderBase scanners receive deterministic events from the market engine. Click a row to update the workspace charts or open its ticker page. Use Explain with Agent to review the measured event, supplied metrics, related activity, available catalyst, and missing-data state.
Open Scanners for a full-size ranked view when you need to compare price change, gap, relative volume, liquidity, range, score, and setup context across more rows.
Ask TradeBase Agent
Open TradeBase Agent from the workspace header. Confirm that the Current context chip names the module you intend to discuss. Choose Agent Brief for a bounded overview, or use chat for a complete outcome rather than naming internal tools:
Explain current activity for the active ticker, summarize available catalysts and price-volume context, and identify missing or delayed data.
TradeBase Agent can load authorized, bounded market context and return a concise factual brief. Market claims should be based on current tool data rather than model memory. The Agent does not recommend trades or provide entries, exits, stops, or targets.
For a scanner row, ask the Agent to compare its change, gap, relative volume, dollar volume, range position, update time, and available catalyst. For an alert event, ask it to distinguish the first hit from repeats and preserve the original event timestamp.
Open the linked ticker workspace
Click a scanner row or ticker link. The ticker workspace keeps the 1-minute, 5-minute, and daily charts linked to the same symbol and streams eligible aggregate updates into the active candles.
Read the tape
Time & Sales shows actual reported trade prints with provider market timestamps, size, and venue identifiers. The market-depth panel shows the consolidated national best bid and offer. The current Massive stock feed does not provide full multi-level depth, so Traderbase does not synthesize additional levels.
Free market-data delivery is held to a rolling 15-minute cutoff. Paid delivery can be real time while the provider connection remains healthy; connection badges change when the feed is delayed, reconnecting, or offline.
