Every term explained in plain English. No jargon, no confusion—just clear definitions you can actually use.
Market capitalization—the total value of a company's outstanding shares (share price × shares outstanding). Large-cap ($10B+) stocks are generally more stable; small-cap ($300M-$2B) and micro-cap (under $300M) stocks are more volatile and potentially faster-moving.
An order to buy or sell immediately at the best available current price. Market orders guarantee execution but not price—in fast-moving markets, you may get filled at a worse price than expected (slippage). Use with caution in low-liquidity stocks.
A theory that asset prices tend to return to their average over time. Mean reversion traders buy oversold assets expecting a bounce and sell overbought assets expecting a pullback.
An early indicator that an asset is gaining attention and price strength before it becomes widely discussed.
The average price over a period (e.g., 50-day or 200-day). Acts as dynamic support/resistance. When price crosses above, often bullish; below, often bearish.
A trading signal derived from combining multiple data types—technical indicators, volume patterns, social sentiment, etc. More robust than single-factor signals because multiple confirmations reduce false positives.
