Glossary

Understanding the Terminology

New to trading? Here's what all these terms actually mean in plain English.

Position Size

The percentage of your total account value used for a single trade. Smaller = safer, larger = more potential gain/loss.

Example:2% position size on a $10,000 account = $200 per trade

Max Exposure

The maximum percentage of your account that can be invested at any time. The rest stays in cash as a safety buffer.

Example:70% max exposure means at least 30% always stays in cash

Drawdown

The peak-to-trough decline in your account value. A 10% drawdown means your account dropped 10% from its highest point.

Example:$10,000 account drops to $9,000 = 10% drawdown

Momentum Strategy

Trading based on news sentiment and price trends. When good news hits, buy. When bad news hits, sell or short.

Example:Positive earnings surprise → algorithm buys the stock

Mean Reversion

Betting that extreme price moves will reverse. When a stock drops too far too fast, it often bounces back.

Example:Stock drops 5% in an hour with no news → algorithm buys expecting a bounce

Stability Sleeve

A portion of your portfolio held in stable, quality ETFs that trade less frequently. Provides a foundation of steady returns.

Example:Holding SPY, QQQ, or sector ETFs for longer periods
