Asset or investible Something that can be bought or sold, such as a share, bond, fund, currency or cryptocurrency. Share or equity A share is a small ownership stake in a company. Its price can rise or fall. Entry or reference price A reference quote is not proof that a trade could be made at that price. Horizon or deadline The forecast time window. A saved deadline states when the outcome should be checked. HIT and MISS MISS means it did not meet those rules. These labels do not measure profit after trading costs. Estimates whose accuracy has not been established by testing A judgement that has not been shown to match real outcomes reliably. It is not a proven success rate. Revenue Money earned from sales before subtracting costs. Earnings or net income A company’s profit after its costs. Earnings reports show how much it made or lost. Margin in context A business margin compares revenue with stated costs; it may be a percentage or profit per unit, such as dollars per barrel. For a leveraged trade, margin means money required to support the position. Check the stated measure. Valuation What investors think an asset or company is worth, compared with measures such as sales, profit or cash flow.
