Glossary of Freya Finance & Trading Terms

#Glossary of Freya Finance & Trading Terms

New terms shouldn't get in the way of trading. This glossary defines the words you'll meet on Freya — first the platform's own vocabulary, then the general trading terms behind them. Each links out to a full guide where one exists.

#Freya Platform Terms

These describe features and concepts specific to how Freya works.

• Deal — one complete trade cycle: the bot opens a position, manages it, and closes it (by take-profit, stop-loss, or manually). One deal = one round trip. See Understanding Your Deals.
• Cycle — the loop a bot repeats: open → manage → close → start the next deal. "Cycle started" and "Cycle finished" are the notifications that bracket each deal. See What Happens After a Deal Closes.
• Entry (base) order — the first order that opens a deal.
• Averaging order — an additional order placed as price moves against you, which lowers your average entry on a long (or raises your average sell price on a short). Together these form your grid. See Entry Orders & the Grid.
• Grid (of orders) — your ladder of entry + averaging orders. (Not to be confused with a standalone "grid bot," which Freya doesn't offer yet.)
• Take-profit (TP) — the profit level, measured from your average entry, at which the bot closes for a gain.
• Stop-loss (SL) — the level at which the bot exits to cap a loss; on Freya it always closes at market.
• Trailing stop — a stop that follows the peak price to lock in gains. See Trailing Stop & Break-Even.
• Break-even — moves your stop to your entry price once you reach a set profit, removing downside on the price.
• Multiple Take-Profit (Multi-TP) — closing your position in stages across several TP levels. See Multiple Take-Profit.
• Compound Returns — an option that rolls each deal's net result into your next trading amount at a rate you choose (1–100%), compounding your size. See Compound Returns Mode.
• DCA bot — a bot that decides entries inside Freya and uses the averaging grid. See Create Your First DCA Bot.
• Signal bot — a bot driven by external webhook signals. See Create a Signal Bot.
• Risk Ratio — a signal-bot mode where the webhook carries your take-profit and stop-loss, and you set a fixed risk amount so the position size is calculated for you.
• Black Box — a marketplace listing whose configuration is hidden; you can run it but not see its settings. See Black Box Strategies.
• Platform balance — your in-app USDT, used for subscriptions, fees, and marketplace purchases. See Your Platform Balance & Transactions.
• Creator earnings — marketplace revenue you earn as a strategy seller; withdrawable to a TRON address. See Creator Dashboard.
• Performance fee — Freya's fee on profitable trades (capped monthly). See Fees Explained.

#General Trading Terms

These mean the same on Freya as across crypto. Freya's Academy has a searchable glossary of these as well.

Order types & execution

• Market order — fills immediately at the current price; may slip.
• Limit order — fills only at your set price or better; may not fill.
• Stop order — becomes a market order once a trigger price is hit.
• Maker / taker fees — makers add liquidity (usually lower fee); takers remove it.
• Slippage — the gap between the price you expected and the price you got.

Indicators

• RSI — a 0–100 momentum gauge; high = overbought, low = oversold.
• MACD — a trend/momentum signal from two moving averages.
• SMA / EMA — simple / exponential moving averages (EMA weights recent prices more).
• Bollinger Bands — a moving average with volatility bands above and below.

Strategy & risk concepts

• DCA (dollar-cost averaging) — investing in steps to average your entry cost over time.
• Leverage — borrowed exposure that amplifies gains and losses (futures only on Freya).
• Liquidation — a forced close of a leveraged position when margin runs out (futures only).
• Drawdown — the peak-to-trough decline; a core risk measure.
• Win rate — the share of trades closed in profit (read it alongside risk/reward).
• Volatility — how much price swings; more swing means more risk and more opportunity.

#Frequently Asked Questions

#What's the difference between a "deal" and a "cycle"?

A deal is one complete trade — open, manage, close. A cycle is the repeating loop a bot follows: it runs a deal, closes it, and starts the next. The "Cycle started" and "Cycle finished" notifications mark the beginning and end of each deal.

#What's an averaging order, and how is it different from a safety order?

They're the same idea — an extra order placed as price moves against you to improve your average entry. Freya's interface calls them averaging orders; the broader trading world often calls them safety orders.

#Is "the grid" the same as a grid bot?

No. On Freya, "the grid" means a DCA bot's ladder of entry and averaging orders. A standalone grid bot is a different product that Freya doesn't currently offer.

#What does Risk Ratio mean on Freya?

It's a signal-bot mode where your webhook carries the take-profit and stop-loss prices and you set a fixed risk amount. Freya then sizes the position so that hitting the stop costs roughly the risk you chose.

#What's the difference between my platform balance and my earnings?

Your platform balance is in-app USDT for paying subscriptions, fees, and marketplace purchases. Your earnings (referral and creator) are what you can withdraw to an external TRON address — or transfer into your balance to spend on the platform.

#Where can I look up a general trading term?

Freya's Academy includes a searchable glossary of general trading terms (indicators, order types, risk metrics). This page focuses on Freya's own vocabulary plus the most common general terms; use the glossary for the rest.
