• API Key: 

An API key or application programming interface key is a code that gets passed in by computer applications. It acts as a secret authentication token as well as a unique identifier. Typically, the key will come with a set of access rights for the API that it is associated with. Thanks to these permissions our trading bot can take positions on your behalf.

• API Secret:

An API Secret, as well as API key, is a code that gets passed in by computer applications. It acts as a secret authentication token as well as a unique identifier. Typically, the key will come with a set of access rights for the API that it is associated with. Thanks to this our trading bot can take positions on your behalf.

It is a set of functions and procedures allowing software to communicate with a client or the data of a service, such as crypto exchanges in order to execute the service's functions on their account.

B

• Bear Market:

This is a drawdown of at least 20% compared to the ATH.

• Bear Trap:

This characterises a situation in which an investor or trader sells short a position, anticipating a market decline based on a false sell signal. The trend therefore does not turn downwards as expected, but continues to rise. The trader or investor is therefore forced to buy back his asset at a higher price than he sold it for in order to close his position quickly. 

• Bid-Ask Spread:

It is the amount by which the ask price exceeds the price of a bid for an asset on the market. The bid ask spread merely represents the difference between the highest price a buyer is prepared to pay for an asset and the lowest price that a seller is prepared to accept. 

• Bid Price: 

It is the amount of money a buyer is willing to pay for crypto, security, stock, etc. It is compared with the selling price for which a seller is prepared to sell crypto, security, stock, etc. These two price differences are known as spread and provide traders with a source of profits. The greater the spread, the larger the profit.

• Bot Only: 

This is a function in the napbots.com platform that must be activated, only when the selected exchange will be used only and exclusively to trade with the bot.

• Bull Market:

This is a strong increase of at least 20% compared to the previous bottom experienced during a bear market.

• Bull trap:

It is a situation in which a trader buys a position, anticipating a rise in the market based on a false buy signal. The trend then turns downwards and does not continue to rise as expected. The trader or investor is therefore forced to close the position quickly to avoid incurring significant losses. 

• Burn:

It is the deletion of a number of tokens from a crypto-currency to decrease the total supply available. In concrete terms, the tokens are sent to a public address where no one knows the private key and are therefore unusable. This creates an imbalance between supply and demand and generally aims to increase the value of each token.

Decentralised exchange platforms, or DEXs for Decentralised Exchanges, offer an alternative to large centralised exchange platforms such as Binance, Bitmex or Kraken to allow users to trade their cryptocurrencies on peer-to-peer markets directly on the blockchain. By going through a DEX, traders limit the risk of potential hacking on a centralised exchange. It also allows the investor to take full advantage of all the benefits of the blockchain. 

• Dead Cat Bounce:

It is a sudden upward rebound in the price of an asset, shortly followed by the resumption of the initial downward trend.

• Dip:

A dip is a sudden drop in the price of an asset that is short-lived. After a dip, the asset often recovers its value very quickly. It can be the result of several market mechanisms such as a large withdrawal of capital by institutional investors.

The owner himself is not aware of his private key: a code and a recovery key allow him to access it, without being able to read it.
The best known is the Ledger key.

• Hash:

The hash represents the number of calculations required to decrypt a cryptographic protocol. The more complex the hash, the more difficult and time-consuming it will be to decrypt a piece of data or a cryptographic key. Note that hashes are a series of numbers and letters always of the same size and length.

The primary aim is to allow computers to automatically learn and adapt their actions without human intervention or assistance.

• Proof of stake:

The Proof Of Stake (PoS) protocol works on the principle that the miner is rewarded according to the number of tokens he has "staked", i.e. "accumulated". After validation of the block, the tokens are returned, with a percentage of the commission fee. This percentage is proportional to the number of tokens involved in the validation process. This is why there is no competition between miners, unlike in Proof of Work. 

• Proof of work:

The Proof Of Work (PoW) protocol works on the principle of competition between miners. Thus, to be rewarded, a miner must find the solution to a complex mathematical problem, which can only be solved by chance, by being the first to solve it.
