# What do the dotted terms and the ? explain?

Getting started · Where: Any dotted word, any ? and any indicator name in the chart legend · Updated 2026-10-20

Every number, order type, metric and setting carries two layers. A dotted word shows one plain sentence on hover. A click opens a sheet with how it is worked out, how traders read it, where it misleads, and the book or document it comes from. One interface for every level of experience, with nothing to switch on.

## Step by step

1. **Hover** One plain line, written for someone who has never traded.
2. **Click or press Enter** The sheet: How it’s worked out, How traders read it, Where it misleads, then the source.
3. **Order types** The ? beside Market, Limit, Stop and Trail explains the selected one.
4. **Indicators** Click a name in the chart legend for its sheet; double-click still opens its settings.
5. **Bots and journal** Leverage, daily loss limit, max drawdown and the three journal scores open the same way.
