An exit instruction intended to act after favourable movement. It may use a limit or another documented implementation.
Example: A seller sets an intended sale level in advance instead of deciding only after the price changes.
Keep in mind: The name states its purpose, not a universal trigger or fill rule.
In Bitcoin proof of work, the threshold the block header hash must be less than or equal to. A lower target makes a qualifying hash less likely per attempt.
Example: A simplified number game accepts results of 10 or less. Reducing the threshold to 5 makes a qualifying result less likely. Bitcoin uses a much larger numerical threshold.
A proposed favourable exit reference or objective under a stated plan.
Example: A fictional worksheet records a favourable exit reference before examining later observations.
Keep in mind: A target is not money earned or a level the market must reach.
An Ethereum smart contract investment project launched in 2016. Its June 2016 exploit prompted a disputed July hard fork; the chains continued as Ethereum and Ethereum Classic.
Example: A jointly funded project had a software flaw; participants disagreed on how to respond. The DAO episode shows that code risk and governance decisions can affect each other.
A count of received ticks or updates under a feed’s definition, rather than necessarily the currency quantity transacted.
Example: Counting ten changes on a shop’s price board does not tell you how many items were sold.
Keep in mind: Updates can have different causes; tick count is not automatically traded volume.
An exit condition based on a specified elapsed duration, clock time or number of periods rather than only a price level.
Example: An observation plan says to end a demo case after three completed bars if neither price exit has occurred.
Keep in mind: The time rule still requires an execution process; reaching the time does not guarantee a particular fill.
The rule defining how long an order remains eligible or how promptly it must execute before cancellation.
Example: A shopping offer valid until Friday differs from one valid only today.
Keep in mind: Session boundaries, time zones and provider-defined expiry limits matter.
The interval used to group observations on a time-based chart, such as five minutes, one hour or one day.
Example: A daily spending total and an hourly spending total summarise different-sized periods.
Keep in mind: Changing timeframe changes the aggregation, not necessarily the underlying source transactions.
A digital asset issued using an existing blockchain. Many tokens use smart contracts to maintain balances and transfer rules, but technical designs, permissions and holder rights vary.
Example: A voucher uses an existing shop system rather than being the shop's national currency. Many blockchain tokens similarly use an existing network, but their rights and technical designs differ.
Permission allowing a specified spender to transfer a defined token amount from an account, under the token rules. An allowance may be created by an on chain approval or a supported permit signature.
Example: A written collection authorisation names the person and quantity they may collect. Review a token permission with the same attention to scope.
Keep in mind: Connecting a wallet is different from granting spending allowance.
An event or schedule that removes restrictions on allocated tokens, making specified units available under the project terms. Availability is different from an actual sale.
Example: A locked allocation becomes transferable on its written date. The holder may keep it, move it or sell it.
Keep in mind: Check the units, recipients and practical transfer restrictions rather than treating every unlock as an immediate sale.
All tokens created so far, minus any that have been verifiably burned. It includes tokens that are still locked.
Example: A project has created 1,000 units and verifiably burned 100. Under that stated measure, total supply is 900, including units still locked or not publicly circulating.
A measure of the market value of assets counted as committed to a DeFi protocol under a stated data provider’s method at a particular time. Eligible assets, valuation and treatment of nested positions can differ between methods.
Example: A pool holds ten units priced at USD 5, giving USD 50 under that valuation rule. If the price doubles, measured TVL can rise without any new units being deposited.
Keep in mind: Prices, eligible assets and counting rules affect this figure. Nested positions can create double counting across services.
The amount actually transacted in a stated instrument, venue and period, reported in defined units.
Example: Counting the litres sold at one shop describes that shop’s sales, not every shop’s sales.
Keep in mind: A venue’s record is not automatically the entire global spot-Forex market.
Buying and selling, or opening and closing market positions, to benefit from price changes. Holding periods vary. Costs, execution and losses matter even when the activity follows a written plan.
Example: A learner records an intended entry, exit and costs in a practice trade. The holding period alone does not determine whether the plan is sensible or whether it will make money.
Buying and selling an asset or entering and closing a market position. In this course, the focus is currency-price decisions that can produce gains or losses.
Example: Buying produce to resell helps illustrate a trading purpose; the resale price and costs are not certain.
Keep in mind: This everyday analogy does not describe how a Forex contract is legally arranged.
Taking a currency position to benefit from a change in one currency against another. A favourable move may produce a gain; an adverse move or trading costs may produce a loss.
Example: A demo exercise compares a currency purchase with a later sale at a different quote.
Keep in mind: A hoped-for move and a guaranteed result are not the same thing.
A convenient name for the period when a major financial center is normally open. It describes typical local activity, not a promise that a particular currency will move or that an individual trade is safe.
Example: Different financial centres resemble shops whose working hours follow different local clocks.
Keep in mind: The session name does not replace the provider’s actual schedule.
A reproducible set of rules stating what to observe, when actions qualify, how exposure is limited and how cases end.
Example: Two learners receive the same data and written rules and can explain why a case qualifies or does not.
Keep in mind: A reproducible rule is a testable hypothesis, not proof of a reliable future return.
A stop instruction adjusted by a stated favourable-movement rule. Activation, price reference, step size and hosting depend on the implementation.
Example: Imagine raising an alarm mark when conditions improve without lowering it when they worsen.
Keep in mind: It can still slip, and some implementations depend on the user’s terminal staying connected.
In the Bitcoin context, a transaction spends earlier outputs and creates new outputs with specified spending conditions. These may require a signature, several signatures or other conditions. Other blockchains use different transaction models.
Example: In a Bitcoin example, one input supports a payment output and a change output. The difference between total inputs and outputs pays the fee; the wallet chooses the spending conditions.
A FATF standard concerning collection and secure transmission of originator and beneficiary information for relevant transfers involving regulated providers. National implementation and applicable requirements vary.
Example: A provider may ask who is sending and receiving a transfer. Which information is required depends on its applicable rules; a transfer between personal wallets is not automatically treated like every provider transfer.
A description of the arrangement of price movements over a chosen period and under a stated observation rule.
Example: A weekly spending record may generally rise despite individual lower days; the selected period affects the description.
Keep in mind: A trend description does not determine the next price or establish a future trade outcome.
A straight visual reference connecting explicitly selected chart points, often reaction lows or highs.
Example: Two selected points let a learner draw a line and record exactly which points were used.
Keep in mind: A line through two chosen points is not independent evidence of predictive power.
The exact condition that activates the next specified action or observation step under a written rule.
Example: A learner records, Consider the demo worksheet only after a completed close above the defined boundary.
Keep in mind: A chart trigger, an order trigger and permission to place an order are different conditions.
The largest of high minus low, the absolute distance from high to previous close, and the absolute distance from low to previous close.
Example: With previous close 10, high 13 and low 12, those distances are 1, 3 and 2; true range is 3.
Keep in mind: It includes certain gaps but does not reconstruct every price or available fill inside the move.
An organisation, such as a bank or payment company, that both sides of a payment rely on to keep the record and settle disputes.
Example: Two buyers trust an escrow company to release payment when conditions are met. Its service can help coordination while also creating a dependency on that company.
A login check using two different kinds of evidence, such as a password and a security key or approval from an authenticator.
Example: A password opens the first check; a confirmation on your own device provides another check.
Keep in mind: Two passwords are not two different factors, and some methods are more resistant to phishing than others.
