Glossary
Terms in one line
The words the dashboard uses, each linked to the post that explains it.
- NAV per unit
- Equity divided by units. Deposits buy units, so only trading moves it.
- Drawdown
- How far NAV sits below its highest point so far.
- Magic number
- The ID an EA stamps on its trades. Quantrivance groups results by it.
- Guard
- Limits the Agent enforces inside MT5, even with no connection to our servers.
