22 terms

The terms you'll see on the site and in the Discord. No trading background needed.

Day trade
A trade that is opened and closed on the same day, so nothing is held overnight.
Swing trade
A trade held for a few days to a few weeks, to catch one bigger move.
Long-term investing
Buying something to hold for months or years, not days.
Entry
The price where a trade is started.
Stop
The price where you get out if the trade goes against you. It caps how much you can lose on that trade, as long as the price doesn't jump past it.
Target
The price where you plan to take your profit.
Exit
The price where a trade is closed, whether it hit the stop, the target, or something in between.
Win rate
The share of closed trades that made money. A 40% win rate means 4 out of 10 trades were winners.
Average win vs. average loss
How much the typical winning trade made compared with how much the typical losing trade lost. You can win less than half the time and still come out ahead if your wins are bigger than your losses.
Drawdown
How far an account falls from its highest point before it recovers. It shows how rough the bad stretches get.
Stocks
Small pieces of ownership in a company that you can buy and sell.
Futures
Contracts that rise and fall with a market, like the S&P 500 or oil. A small move in price can mean a big gain or loss, so they carry extra risk.
Leveraged ETF
A fund that tries to move two or three times as much as the market it follows in a single day. Gains and losses both get bigger.
Options
Contracts that give the right, but not the duty, to buy or sell a stock at a set price before a set date. They can lose all their value quickly.
Big-money options bets
Very large options trades placed by big players. We watch them as a clue to where large money is leaning, not as trades to copy.
Paper trading
Trading with pretend money at real market prices, to test an idea without risking real money.
Trading bot
A program that follows fixed rules and places trades on its own. Ours only trade on paper today.
Hypothetical result
What a trade idea would have made or lost at real market prices, even though no real order was placed.
Alert
A message that tells you a trade was just taken or something needs your attention.
Premarket
The hours before the US stock market opens at 9:30 AM Eastern, when trading is thinner.
Broker
The company that holds your trading account and places your orders. Nexural is not a broker.
Position size
How much money you put into one trade. Smaller size means a smaller loss if the stop is hit.
