# Interface terminology

<mark style="color:$tint;">Short explanations of the names in the ITradingBot panel. The links lead to detailed instructions; values and actions are always relevant to the chosen tool and account.</mark>

### Accounts and access

<mark style="color:$tint;">ITradingBot profile your platform account: login, email, Telegram link and access settings. It's created when you register. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">The registration</mark>](/en/account/registration-sign-in-and-account-recovery.md)

<mark style="color:$tint;">**Exchange Account**</mark> <mark style="color:$tint;"></mark><mark style="color:$tint;">a trading sub-account on Bybit, which is created via ITradingBot and links to your profile. His device is described in a separate article. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">the separate article</mark>](/en/account/exchange-accounts/exchange-account-creation-and-setup.md)

<mark style="color:$tint;">Your</mark> <mark style="color:$tint;"></mark><mark style="color:$tint;">**Own exchange account**</mark> <mark style="color:$tint;"></mark><mark style="color:$tint;">account that you have registered on the exchange and connected to the ITradingBot tool via API. It's one way to connect. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">How to connect</mark>](/en/account/exchange-accounts/choosing-a-connection-method.md)

<mark style="color:$tint;">API-key is the key that the service uses to receive information or send orders to the exchange within the limits of the assigned rights. In the forms of API keys and API secrets separate values. Own account keys and Exchange Account additional keys are customized in different locations. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">Additional keys to Exchange Account</mark>](/en/account/exchange-accounts/exchange-account-api-keys.md)

<mark style="color:$tint;">**Access key passkey**</mark> <mark style="color:$tint;"></mark><mark style="color:$tint;">way to confirm actions using a device or key manager.

### Robot and the task conditions

<mark style="color:$tint;">This is a description of the typical Bybit and Binance robots. Hedge robots have their own modes and parameters.</mark>

<mark style="color:$tint;">Robot is an automation tool associated with a trading account. At its level, general settings and limitations are set; the robot's tasks describe individual trading scenarios. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">The tasks of the robot</mark>](/en/getting-started/how-the-robot-works.md)

<mark style="color:$tint;">The</mark> <mark style="color:$tint;"></mark><mark style="color:$tint;">**Task**</mark> <mark style="color:$tint;"></mark><mark style="color:$tint;">set of settings for the tool and direction: volume, grid, entry and exit conditions, cycles. A saved or enabled task is not yet an open trade. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">The open trade</mark>](/en/getting-started/how-the-robot-works.md)

<mark style="color:$tint;">Active trade current job of the robot on the task. Her condition needs to be compared to actual orders and stock market positions. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">orders and positions on the exchange</mark>](/en/getting-started/how-the-robot-works.md)

<mark style="color:$tint;">Cycle one task's workflow; cycling settings control repetition. The cycle counter is not equal to the number of orders executed, and its behavior depends on the type of robot and the mode. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">type of robot and mode</mark>](/en/getting-started/how-the-robot-works.md)

<mark style="color:$tint;">**The signal**</mark> <mark style="color:$tint;"></mark><mark style="color:$tint;">is a condition for the robot to operate. In addition, filters may be required and task restrictions may be enforced; the signal does not guarantee execution of the order. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">The signal does not guarantee the execution of the order .</mark>](/en/signals-and-strategy-conditions/isignal-entry-filters-and-exit.md)

<mark style="color:$tint;">Indicator is a tool for checking the signal conditions according to selected parameters. In the constructor, it is represented by a card; the available roles of entry, filter, and exit may vary. Add it to the right part of the constructor. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">the necessary part of the constructor</mark>](/en/signals-and-strategy-conditions/isignal-entry-filters-and-exit.md)

<mark style="color:$tint;">**Filter**</mark> <mark style="color:$tint;"></mark><mark style="color:$tint;">is an additional condition that allows action at appropriate values. The reaction to the loss of resolution is set separately and can affect the already working task see filter mechanics. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">The mechanics of the filters</mark>](/en/signals-and-strategy-conditions/isignal-entry-filters-and-exit.md)

### Order and position

<mark style="color:$tint;">**Order**</mark> <mark style="color:$tint;"></mark><mark style="color:$tint;">ordering the exchange to buy or sell the specified volume with the specified conditions. The order is sent and executed. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">Order of the</mark>](/en/trading-terminal/orders-in-the-futures-terminal.md)

<mark style="color:$tint;">Execution The executed part of the order with the actual price and quantity. One order may have multiple executions. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">several executions</mark>](/en/trading-terminal/orders-in-the-futures-terminal.md)

<mark style="color:$tint;">**Partial execution**</mark> <mark style="color:$tint;"></mark><mark style="color:$tint;">is the state in which only a portion of the order volume is executed. The remaining order and the already completed volume are checked separately; cancellation of the remainder does not cancel the completed executions. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">cancellation of the balance</mark>](/en/trading-terminal/orders-in-the-futures-terminal.md)

<mark style="color:$tint;">Position open volume on the instrument and side in a futures terminal. It can be maintained after the task state changes; in a mode with separate sides, the</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">Long and short are taken into account separately</mark>](/en/trading-terminal/positions-in-the-futures-terminal.md)<mark style="color:$tint;">.</mark>

<mark style="color:$tint;">First order is the software, FO is the grid's initial order. Its size is set in the task settings; units need to be checked in the form as in</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">The parameters of the Binance task</mark>](/en/binance-robot/binance-task-parameters.md)<mark style="color:$tint;">.</mark>

<mark style="color:$tint;">The safety orders SO is an additional order of the grid, which after execution is taken into account in the total volume and average price of the position. The name doesn't mean loss protection; it's about the net calculation. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">- I'm not going to count the net.</mark>](/en/binance-robot/binance-order-grid-calculation-and-pair-selection.md)

### Settings and calculations

<mark style="color:$tint;">Backtest is a model calculation of the performance of selected settings on historical data. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">Backend results</mark>](/en/tools/calculations-and-verification/backtester-first-calculation.md)

<mark style="color:$tint;">Press set of parameters to fill out the compatible form. Applying such a set and running the calculation or task are done separately. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">Starting a calculation or task</mark>](/en/tools/calculations-and-verification/backtester-results-and-archive.md)

<mark style="color:$tint;">A grid calculator is a tool for adjusting parameters by current price, given width and calculation constraints. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">Selecting the grid</mark>](/en/tools/calculations-and-verification/order-grid-calculator.md)

<mark style="color:$tint;">A grid optimizer is a tool for comparing the combinations of parameters with the calculation of history. For example, this is how a Backtester optimizer works. The best test result in the tested range does not guarantee the same result in the future. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">of the verified range</mark>](/en/tools/calculations-and-verification/order-grid-optimizer-in-the-backtester.md)

<mark style="color:$tint;">PnL Cash out. In a futures calculator, it is calculated by the specified entry and exit prices and volume, without commissions and funding; the composition of the indicator in other reports should be viewed separately. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">The future calculator</mark>](/en/trading-terminal/futures-terminal-calculator.md)

<mark style="color:$tint;">ROI is the percentage of the result of the chosen base of the calculation. In a futures calculator, it's the PnL ratio to the starting margin, not the percentage change in the price of the asset. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">The future calculator</mark>](/en/trading-terminal/futures-terminal-calculator.md)
