How to use this glossary. Each term has a one-paragraph plain-English definition plus what it tells you, when it forms, and the common mistake traders make with it. The DBN methodology builds setups by stacking these — e.g. a Bullish OB + FVG inside Discount during the London Killzone after a Liquidity Sweep + BOS. If a term is unclear, search the academy modules — most have full lessons with annotated chart demos.

Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. Most retail traders lose money. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
