Glossary

Token research

  • Network / chain: the network on which a token or transaction exists.
  • Mint / contract address: an asset identifier on its network. Verify it instead of relying on a ticker alone.
  • Market cap: a valuation measure distinct from available liquidity.
  • Liquidity: market liquidity returned by a source; not a guarantee that an order can fill at the displayed price.
  • Volume: traded activity over a stated period.
  • Holders: wallets and token balances returned by the holder data source.

Strategies and results

  • Strategy: explicit rules for entry, exit and sizing.
  • Indicator warmup: initial bars needed before an indicator can be evaluated.
  • Effective window: the historical period actually used, which can differ from requested dates.
  • Portfolio equity: portfolio value; this term is valid for token strategies.
  • Drawdown: decline from an earlier portfolio peak.
  • Closed trade: a completed position cycle; not the same count as filled orders.
  • Slippage: difference between a reference price and execution price, modeled as an assumption in a test.
  • Basis point: one hundredth of one percent; 100 bps equals 1%.

Operation and access

  • Paper mode: simulated trading with simulated funds, where supported.
  • Deployment: an operating strategy instance in its selected mode.
  • Astral Wallet: a managed Solana wallet linked to an Astral identity, where enabled.
  • Signing permission: authorization under which a transaction can be signed; inspect its scope before using live activity.
  • Submitted / confirmed: separate transaction states. Submission does not prove confirmation.
  • Allocation: capital assigned to a strategy, separate from subscription billing.
  • Network fee: a transaction cost separate from workspace access.
  • MCP: a protocol through which compatible AI clients can access authorized tools. Interactive UI support varies by client.
