Terms are listed in the order you meet them, not alphabetically. For a flat A–Z, see the Glossary.

Account balance

A USD figure held against your account, used to buy plans and add-ons. It is derived from your ledger rather than stored as a standalone number, so every movement in it has a row explaining where it came from.
Your account balance is not your trading capital, and it is not a custodial holding of your crypto. Deposited crypto is converted to a USD credit at the time it confirms. See The custody model.

Ledger entry

One immutable row recording a movement: an amount in USD, a kind describing why, and a reference id pointing at whatever caused it. Deposits credit; purchases debit; commissions credit. Deriving the balance from the ledger rather than incrementing a counter is what makes the number auditable — you can always ask why a balance is what it is.

Deposit address

An address provisioned for one asset on one fixed network, tied to your account. It carries a minimum amount, below which the network fee makes the transfer uneconomic to credit. Some assets additionally require an extra id (also called a memo or destination tag). Where one is shown, a transfer sent without it cannot be attributed to your account.

Deposit state

Handling for each is in Troubleshooting.

Signal

A published observation that a measurable inefficiency exists right now. A signal is not an order. The signal engine has no path to execution — see Signal Engine.

Credible interval

The range that contains the true rate with 90% probability, given what has been observed so far. Written as [low, high]. This is the single most important number on the statistics screens. A strategy showing 75% [45, 93] and one showing 75% [72, 78] are not comparable claims: the first has barely been measured, the second has been measured a great deal.
A rate published as null means not yet measured, not zero. The platform never defaults an unmeasured rate to 0%, because that would read as a failing strategy when it is actually an unmeasured one.

Signal plan

A subscription granting access to the signal feed at a given tier, with a fixed term — 30 days monthly, 365 days annual. It lapses at expiry. Tiers and prices are in Plans and pricing.

Add-on

A permanent entitlement bought once, with no expiry. That absence of an expiry is exactly what makes it permanent. Listed in Add-ons.

Entitlement

The general term for “something your account is currently allowed to do”. A plan grants one for a term; an add-on grants one forever. Entitlements are evaluated per request, against the expiry timestamp, rather than cached in your session.

Referral tier

How far up the chain a commission travels from a purchase. Rates are stored in basis points rather than as floats, because 5% of $29 has to be an exact decimal and 0.05 * 29 is not one.

Referral code

An eight-character code from an alphabet with 0, o, 1, l and i removed — those get misread off a screen and become support tickets. Attribution is remembered in a cookie for 30 days, so a visitor who reads the site and signs up a week later is still credited.

KYC submission

An identity verification attempt: a document type, its images, and a status of PENDING, APPROVED or REJECTED. Documents accepted are passport (1 side), driver’s licence (2 sides) and national ID card (2 sides). See Verify your identity.

Recovery code

A single-use code that stands in for your 2FA app. Spending one marks it used in the same statement that selects it, which is what stops the same code authenticating twice from two simultaneous attempts. See Account recovery.
