KYC - “Know Your Customer” is a mandatory procedure for identifying users for financial institutions, exchanges, and brokers.
Fiat money is paper notes with several degrees of security, which are issued by the state for circulation within the country and abroad. This type of money also includes virtual funds, stored on a simple plastic card, and also accepted for payment for goods and services.

Spot trading is real-time trading of a physical asset.
Order - an application to buy/sell.
Limit order is an order to buy/sell at a limit price you define, which is lower than the current one when buying and higher than the current one when selling. Such orders fall into the order book.

Short - Short position, work to lower prices.
Stop market order is a market order that, when the stop price is reached, interacts with the nearest limit orders in the order book.
Hedging is a tool that allows you to reduce risks by trading on different markets. Leverage is a multiplier that allows you to open a position with a volume exceeding your deposit.
Margin is the minimum amount of equity in the account that ensures maintaining an open position. Isolated margin is a margin provision in which a limited amount of margin (allocated by you) is used.

Market Structure (MS) - market structure.
Bos (break of structure) - breakdown of structure.
Conf (confirmation) - continuation (update) of the structure.
Fake bos – formation of manipulation in the zone of a key structural high/low.
Liquidity (in the understanding of the concept) is the ability to buy or sell a large volume of assets without affecting the price. Large participants are exchanges, funds or wealthy traders (crypto market), central banks and their interbank algorithms which have a large amount of funds or assets, which makes it possible to manipulate the value of an asset.
Support level is a conditional price level for purchases, which acts as a zone of liquidity accumulation.
Resistance level is a conditional sales price level, which acts as a zone of liquidity accumulation.
Sweep/Raid - false update of highs/lows in order to remove liquidity.
BSL (Buy Side Liquidity) - liquidity as a goal for buyers.
SSL (Sell Side Liquidity) - liquidity as a goal for sellers.
EQH (Equal Highs) - equal price highs.

External liquidity - accumulation outside the boundaries of the sideways movement and at the structural highs and lows of the corresponding TF.
Compression is liquidity that is formed as part of a corrective movement between key structural points.
Crypto market is a market where participants 24/7 trade assets associated with blockchain technologies on centralized and decentralized crypto exchanges.
Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency payment system that laid the foundation for the entire crypto market and has maximum trust among the community.

Absorption is the closing of a subsequent candle or several subsequent candles (not necessarily the first) with a body below or above (depending on the direction) the body of a potential order block. It is the most important factor in validating a potential block. Breaker Block / BB (breaker) is an order block that breaks through and leads to a reversal of the price movement (BOS or Shift*), then becomes a breaker. In the future, it will act as a “support/resistance for price” zone during testing.
Rejection Block is a separate form of order block in the form of a large wick that removes liquidity.
Mean Treshold (MT) - the level of the middle (50%) of the OB body. 50% of the order block body is the second most important level that the price can test in the future. The level indicates the validity of the block. We must observe how price behaves with the MT level during the subsequent test.
Profit - profit from the trades.
Risk management is the process of making and executing management decisions aimed at reducing the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and minimizing possible losses caused by its implementation. In trading, R is used to indicate possible risk. Discipline is strict and precise adherence to the rules accepted by a person for implementation.

Usually acts an obstacle to the delivery of prices to the renewal of the structure, which leads to a “complex correction”. Fractality is the ability of prices to repeat identical price movements on different timeframes.
Substructure is a full-fledged structural price movement on a lower timeframe, inside a senior impulse or corrective movement.
