- Bid-Ask Spread: The bid-ask spread is the gap between the highest buy price and the lowest sell price in a market.
- Market Depth: Market depth shows how much buy and sell interest exists near the current price.
- Slippage: Slippage is the difference between an expected trade price and the price actually filled.

- Tool Call: A tool call is a request from a model to use an external function or API.
- Memory Buffer: A memory buffer stores context the agent can reuse during a conversation or task.

Data Ops Pipeline
These words describe the moving parts that store features, catch drift, index embeddings, and move records.
Feature StoreSchema DriftVector IndexETL Pipeline
- Feature Store: A feature store manages reusable input variables for machine learning models.
- Schema Drift: Schema drift is an unexpected change in the shape or meaning of data over time.
- Vector Index: A vector index organizes embeddings so similar items can be searched quickly.
- ETL Pipeline: An ETL pipeline extracts, transforms, and loads data between systems.
