Barfinex glossary

Key Barfinex product and trading-runtime terms for public readers.

Core Services

Provider - the private runtime gateway for market data, account data, orders, app registry visibility, REST APIs, and real-time surfaces. The public website only receives sanitized read-only market-intelligence projections.
Detector - the signal-generation service. It evaluates strategies and produces structured signal context.
Advisor - the deterministic admission and provenance stage. It validates immutable candidates and signed evidence, then records ADMIT or REJECT.
Inspector - the final sizing and risk-governance layer. It checks admitted candidates against risk policy before orders proceed.
Studio - the operations terminal. It observes the runtime through Provider.

Provider gateway - the single authenticated integration boundary for Studio, operators, and private runtime clients.
Event catalog - the Provider-published private runtime list of real-time event names and payload expectations.
App registry - private Provider visibility into registered runtime targets and their health.
MCP - Model Context Protocol integration for AI-assisted tool calls through documented authenticated Provider surfaces.

Candidate - immutable Detector output with a separate deterministic basis.
Advisor policy decision - immutable ADMIT or REJECT record; it is not an order and contains no sizing authority.
Market quality score - a runtime assessment of data freshness and trading conditions.
Risk policy - Inspector rules for exposure, drawdown, cooldown, and execution safety.
Runtime-managed position - a position opened and managed during the active runtime session.
