The origin
Identity Fieldbase grew from a Tbilisi chart study circle where participants brought the same problem in different forms: they could recognize an RSI divergence or a volume spike, yet could not explain when either observation deserved weight. The circle became a structured class in 2018.
Our name reflects the work. A chart’s “identity” is not its ticker; it is the combination of timeframe, trend phase, liquidity, participation, and behaviour around known structure. The fieldbase is the notebook where those observations are tested.
The people
Maka Beridze, lead educator, designs and teaches the intensive. She has facilitated independent market-reading groups since 2016 and specializes in translating indicator language into falsifiable chart statements.
Giorgi Maisuradze, clinic tutor, leads foundation evenings and replay exercises. His focus is timeframe selection, clean swing annotation, and helping newer readers stop mixing evidence from incompatible chart horizons.
Our working approach
We hide future bars, annotate what is visible, and commit to a conditional reading before replaying the next section. Students are expected to distinguish description from prediction and to state what evidence would make them revise a thesis.
We value intellectual restraint, specific language, visible reasoning, and respect for risk. Classes are educational. We do not sell signals, manage capital, accept brokerage referral fees, or suggest that chart study removes uncertainty.
The classroom welcomes adults from Georgia and visiting English-speaking learners. Small groups make room for disagreement, chart critique, and the awkward but valuable sentence: “I do not yet have enough evidence.”
