Robot and the task conditions
This is a description of the typical Bybit and Binance robots. Hedge robots have their own modes and parameters.
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. — The tasks of the robot
The Task 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. — The open trade
Active trade current job of the robot on the task. Her condition needs to be compared to actual orders and stock market positions. — orders and positions on the exchange
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. — type of robot and mode
The signal 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. — The signal does not guarantee the execution of the order .
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. — the necessary part of the constructor
Filter 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. — The mechanics of the filters

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 The parameters of the Binance task.
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. — - I'm not going to count the net.
Settings and calculations
Backtest is a model calculation of the performance of selected settings on historical data. — Backend results
Press set of parameters to fill out the compatible form. Applying such a set and running the calculation or task are done separately. — Starting a calculation or task
A grid calculator is a tool for adjusting parameters by current price, given width and calculation constraints. — Selecting the grid
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. — of the verified range
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. — The future calculator
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. — The future calculator
