Every term explained in plain English. No jargon, no confusion—just clear definitions you can actually use.
Building a position gradually over multiple entries rather than committing full size at once. Reduces timing risk and allows for better average pricing.
Exiting a position gradually over multiple sales rather than selling all at once. Locks in some profits while maintaining upside exposure.
Ultra-short-term trading—holding positions for seconds to minutes, capturing tiny price movements repeatedly. Requires fast execution and low fees.
The movement of investment capital from one industry sector to another as economic conditions or market sentiment changes. Traders following sector rotation overweight leading sectors.
The process of measuring collective market mood through social media, news, and trading behavior.
The total number of shares currently sold short (borrowed and sold, betting on a price decline). High short interest can lead to short squeezes if the price rises, forcing short sellers to buy back shares and accelerating upward momentum.
A rapid price increase caused by short sellers being forced to buy back shares to cover their positions. As price rises, losses for shorts increase, triggering stop-outs and margin calls that create forced buying, which pushes price even higher. GameStop in January 2021 was a famous example.
A trading tool that combines multiple data sources and signal types into a unified view. Instead of checking technical charts, news, and social media separately, aggregators present a holistic picture.
The rate of change in a signal's strength over time. A signal gaining velocity is accelerating—showing stronger conviction. Used to distinguish emerging opportunities from stale signals.
The difference between your expected price and actual execution price. Happens in fast markets or low liquidity. Can eat into profits significantly.
The measured volume and velocity of social media mentions for a given asset across platforms like X (Twitter) and Reddit.
The rate of change in social media mentions and sentiment for a particular asset. Velocity measures acceleration—not just how much people are talking, but how quickly the conversation is growing.
A predetermined price at which you exit a losing position to limit potential losses.
Price levels where buying pressure (support) or selling pressure (resistance) historically causes prices to pause, reverse, or accelerate.
Holding positions for days to weeks, capturing "swings" in price. Less stressful than day trading, doesn't require watching screens all day.
