Integration glossary

Term	Meaning in Liftx
Exchange link	One authenticated connection to an exchange account and environment. Its numeric `exchange_link_id` selects runtime authority.
Instrument	One catalog product on that link, identified by an opaque `instrument_id`. A spot pair and a derivative with similar tickers are different instruments.
Integration namespace	The stable boundary used to identify a credential’s commands. Replacing a key inside the same policy preserves that namespace.
Scope	A permitted operation such as `read` or `positions:open`. It is checked together with account, instrument, entitlement, and setup policy.
Binding	An immutable TradingView setup policy: exact market, source identity, mode, position policy, quantity cap, and permissions.
Source instance	A single ordered producer identified by `source_instance_id`. One coordinated ordinary OPEN/EXIT alert pair can act as that producer. Independent scripts or charts need separate setups.
Binding revision	The pinned policy revision that every signal must match. It is not a position revision.
Position revision	The current version of a resident position’s configuration. API modification requires the current revision to reject stale updates.
Client command ID	The caller’s stable identity for one immutable intent. It is not a position ID or receipt ID.
Receipt ID	Liftx’s UUID for accepted command evidence. Use it to retrieve status without resubmitting a new intent.
Client position ID	A TradingView producer’s lifecycle reference, paired with its immutable start time. Pine can generate it; the strategy does not need a pre-created Liftx UUID.
Position ID	Liftx’s canonical UUID for a position. API modify and terminate commands target this identity.
Sequence	A positive ordered TradingView signal number within the setup’s source. It fences stale intent; it is not an exchange execution acknowledgement.
Slot / order generation	Stable logical placement identity and its exact current order identity. Current modification snapshots expose these so amendments do not target a replaced order.
Canonical quantity	The instrument’s normalized execution quantity unit. Do not assume it means quote spending, margin, or contract count.
OPEN request	The complete position configuration, including entry rows and enabled protection fields. It is reused by existing Liftx trading admission.
Termination	A request to the existing owner to cancel pending work and close remaining exposure as appropriate. A successful handoff is not proof of completion.
Strategy target	A bounded termination capture of eligible positions belonging to the same TradingView setup and exact market.
Market target	A separately permitted termination capture that can include other strategies and manual Liftx positions on the same exact market.
Publication / snapshot	An authoritative read projection with its own completeness and revision information. Incomplete data is not evidence of zero exposure.
Operator required	A command result that cannot be safely resolved automatically from durable evidence. Reconcile before creating another intent.
