# UpScalp Glossary **Last reviewed:** 2026-05-22. Use this glossary when a signal, setup guide, or risk page uses a term you do not fully understand. ## Signal fields | Term | Meaning | | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Signal | An UpScalp setup message to evaluate, not an instruction to enter at any price. | | Symbol | The market or pair named in the signal. | | Direction | Whether the setup is long or short. | | Entry | The planned price area where the trade idea is still valid. | | Entry zone | The price area where the setup can still be considered. If price has already moved away, the trade may no longer match the signal. | | Stop loss / SL | The level where the trade idea is invalidated and downside is capped. | | Invalidation | The condition or price level that proves the trade idea is no longer acceptable. | | Take profit / TP | Planned exit area for part or all of a position. | | Context | The market reason or condition behind the setup. | | Quality label | Relative setup-strength context, never a guarantee. | | Late entry | Entering after price has moved away from the planned area. Late entries can change the risk-reward profile. | | Skip | A deliberate decision not to trade because the setup, timing, or account risk rule no longer fits. | ## Risk terms | Term | Meaning | | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Position size | The amount of exposure used for a trade. | | Risk per trade | The amount or percentage of account capital you are prepared to lose if the stop loss is reached. | | Leverage | Borrowed exposure that can magnify gains and losses. | | Margin | Capital allocated to support a leveraged position. | | Liquidation | Forced exchange closure when losses exceed margin support. | | Slippage | Difference between expected price and actual fill price. | | Fees | Exchange costs that reduce net profit and increase the distance a trade must move before it is worthwhile. | | Drawdown | Decline from a prior account or balance peak. | | Risk-reward | Comparison of possible upside to possible downside. | | Partial profit | Closing part of a position at a planned level to reduce open exposure. | | Breakeven | Moving remaining risk closer to the entry price after a trade has moved far enough to justify risk reduction. | ## Product terms | Term | Meaning | | ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Lite | Simpler UpScalp signal flow for users building process consistency. | | Premium | Token-gated path with richer signal context for users who can follow risk rules. | | Private Beta API | Controlled Premium Holder beta path for approved users only. | | Access Bot | Official Telegram bot used for Premium verification and approved beta requests. | | Manual decision support | Product guidance that helps you decide what to do but does not place trades automatically. | | Approved flow | A current official setup or access path confirmed through UpScalp's official route. | | Exchange API key | Exchange credential used by approved integrations. Do not create one for UpScalp unless an approved beta setup flow explicitly tells you to do so. | | Withdrawal permission | API-key permission that can allow funds to leave an exchange account. Never enable withdrawal permission for UpScalp. | ## Safety and support terms | Term | Meaning | | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Official link | A route listed in the Help Center or confirmed by an official UpScalp announcement. | | Fake support DM | An unsolicited direct message claiming to be support, especially if it asks for funds, secrets, API keys, or urgent action. | | Seed phrase | Wallet recovery words. Never send a seed phrase to UpScalp, support, bots, or community members. | | Private key | Credential that controls wallet access. Never share it. | | API secret | Exchange credential paired with an API key. Never send it through Telegram, email, screenshots, or support messages. | | UTC timestamp | Time reference used in support reports so incidents and setup attempts can be matched accurately. | | Status update | Official notice about service health. It is not a trading signal. | | Support report | A complete message to support with product path, Telegram username, UTC timestamp, expected result, actual result, and checks already completed. | ## If a term is missing Contact support with: 1.
