ATR (Average True Range)

Automatic opening of an opposing position when your main position exceeds a loss threshold. Protects against further losses while waiting for recovery.Ask
The lowest price at which someone is willing to sell. Also called the “offer” price.B
Basis Points (bps)
One basis point = 0.01%. Used to express small percentages.- 100 bps = 1%
- 10 bps = 0.1%
- 1 bp = 0.01%

A rapid series of liquidations causing accelerated price movement. Often triggers a “domino effect” of forced selling/buying.Cluster (Grid Cluster)
A group of orders placed at specific price levels in a DCA strategy.Counter Position
A position opened opposite to your main position, typically to hedge or scalp during adverse moves.Cross Margin
A margin mode where all available balance is used as collateral for positions. Higher risk of total liquidation but more efficient capital use.D
DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging)
An investment strategy of spreading purchases over time/price levels to reduce the impact of volatility.Decay Factor
In geometric sizing, the multiplier applied to each subsequent level.0.92 means each level is 92% the size of the previous.
Donchian Channel
A technical indicator showing the highest high and lowest low over a period. Used for breakout detection.Drawdown
The decline from a peak to a trough in your portfolio value. Usually expressed as a percentage.E
EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
A moving average that gives more weight to recent prices. Faster to react than SMA.Entry Price
The average price at which you opened your position.F
Funding Rate
A periodic payment between long and short position holders in perpetual futures. Positive rate = longs pay shorts; negative = shorts pay longs.Fill
When your order executes and becomes a position. A “partial fill” means only some of your order executed.G
Geometric Grid
A grid where spacing between orders increases geometrically (exponentially) as you move away from current price.Grid Refresh
The process of canceling existing orders and placing new ones as price moves.GTFO (Get The F*** Out)
An exit strategy that aggressively closes positions when conditions turn adverse.H
Hedge Mode
An exchange feature allowing simultaneous long AND short positions on the same symbol.HFT (High-Frequency Trading)
Trading strategies that execute many trades per second. In VoidX, refers to fast-cycling market making.I
Inventory
Your current position size. “High inventory” means you’re heavily positioned.Inventory Skew
Adjusting bid/ask prices based on your current position to encourage rebalancing.Isolated Margin
A margin mode where only the assigned margin is at risk for each position. Limits loss but may cause earlier liquidation.L
Leverage
Multiplier for your position size relative to margin. 10x leverage = control 1,000 margin.Liquidation
Forced closure of your position when margin is insufficient. Results in loss of position and possibly additional fees.Liquidation Price
The price at which your position will be forcibly closed by the exchange.Loss Management Tiers
Progressive risk reduction based on loss depth:- Tier 1 (100 bps): Widen spreads
- Tier 2 (300 bps): Stop new entries
- Tier 3 (600 bps): Exit priority only
M
Maker
An order that adds liquidity to the order book (typically limit orders). Usually has lower fees.Market Making
A strategy of providing liquidity by placing both buy and sell orders, profiting from the spread.Margin
The collateral required to open and maintain a leveraged position.Microprice
A refined mid-price calculation weighted by order book depth on each side.N
NATR (Normalized ATR)
ATR expressed as a percentage of price. Allows comparison across different price levels.Net Delta
The combined directional exposure of all your positions.O
OBI (Order Book Imbalance)
The ratio of bid volume to ask volume in the order book. High OBI suggests buying pressure.Order Book
The list of all open buy and sell orders for a trading pair, organized by price.Outer Distance
In Vortex DCA, how far from current price to place the furthest order.P
Panic Threshold
The inventory level at which the bot becomes more aggressive about exiting positions.Perpetual Futures (Perps)
Futures contracts with no expiration date. Settled via funding rate mechanism.Position Size
The total value or quantity of your open position.Q
Quote
A bid/ask price pair offered by a market maker.Quote Size
The size of each individual order in your trading grid.R
Ratio Power
In geometric grids, the exponent controlling how quickly spacing increases.Reactive Spacing
Dynamic order spacing that adjusts based on market conditions (volatility, depth, flow).Refresh Threshold
The price movement percentage that triggers grid recalculation.S
SLAM
A high-velocity market making technique that quickly enters and exits during momentum moves.Slippage
The difference between expected price and actual execution price.Spread
