Concepts & Glossary

A friendly A–Z of the words and ideas you'll meet in SentinelHub — each in a sentence or two, no jargon.

Bookmark this page. Whenever a term on a dashboard tile isn't obvious, most of them also have a short pop-up explainer if you hover over them.

Confidence score
A rating from 0 to 100 that the system gives a candidate at the moment it evaluates it, based on how much supporting evidence there is. A candidate must reach at least 40 to be considered for a trade; 70 and above is treated as high conviction. It measures the strength of the case — it is not a promise about the outcome.
Bracket order
The way every position is opened: the entry, a profit target, and a loss limit are all set together, in one go. From the first second, the trade knows where it will take profit and where it will cut its loss — so a position is never left unprotected.
Trailing stop
A loss limit that moves up as a trade goes in your favour, locking in more of the gain — but never moves down. It lets a winner keep running while steadily protecting the profit already made.
Peaked vs runway
A way of describing where a winning trade is in its move. "Runway" means the move still looks like it has room to climb; "peaked" means it looks like it has run out of steam. The Exit Advisor uses this read to decide whether to flag a winner for a possible early exit.
Lean (HOLD / CONSIDER SELLING / EXIT NOW)
The plain verdict the Exit Advisor gives on an open winner. HOLD = stay in; CONSIDER SELLING = think about taking the profit; EXIT NOW= the picture has turned. It's advice — you make the call.
Market weather (regime)
The overall mood of the market — calm, choppy, or stormy — measured mainly through how jumpy prices are. The system checks the weather before it looks for any single trade, because the same idea behaves very differently in a calm market than in a panicked one.
Drawdown
How far the account has fallen from its highest point. It's the main measure of a rough patch. The system steps down its risk as drawdown grows — taking smaller positions, then pausing, then stopping entirely — so a bad stretch can't spiral.
Signal
A candidate that matched a strategy's entry rule — a "worth a look." A signal is the start of the process, not a trade; most signals never become positions.
Win rate
The share of closed trades that ended in profit. For this style of trading, somewhere around 55–65% is healthy. Because wins are designed to outsize losses, the account can still grow even when the win rate is modest.
Recovery thesis
The system's reasoning for why a beaten-down sector might be turning the corner — and worth watching. A thesis lives on the radar until the evidence either confirms a turn or fades. It explains the "why" behind an opportunity, not just the "what."
