Every term is defined twice: once the way a filing would put it, and once the way somebody would explain it to you across a table. The second one is usually the one that sticks.

The regulator's directions to lenders on dealings with borrowers, covering disclosure, collection conduct, permitted hours of contact and grievance redress.
It binds the lender, not the collector at your door — which is exactly why it is useful. Every breach by an agent is a breach by the entity that sent them.
A level of involvement in investing that can be maintained indefinitely alongside the rest of your life.
Stopping is a spectrum rather than a switch — shrink the satellite, lengthen the timeframe, automate the core, take a defined break. Scaling to what you enjoy is a different decision from quitting.
The pre-2001 practice of carrying a position forward into the next settlement period for a charge, instead of settling it.
Leverage available to anyone with a broker and no formal margin behind it. Ending it, and moving to rolling settlement, is why positions now settle on a fixed short cycle.
Control of a company through a holding of less than half the voting rights, where the rest of the register is dispersed or inactive enough that the holder decides the resolutions in practice.
Why a group can consolidate an entity it owns 45% of. Control under Ind AS 110 is power, exposure to variable returns and the ability to use the power — a question of fact rather than a threshold.
The practice of using three charts — higher, trading and lower timeframe — with one distinct job assigned to each.
Direction, then signal and stop, then entry price. Keep them roughly 4–6× apart, and remember that the timeframe you entered on owns the exit.
The practice of assessing an investor through a short questionnaire and converting the answers into a category and a suggested allocation.
It measures willingness, because willingness is the only one of the three relevant quantities that can be established by asking. It has no date in it, sees one account, and is answered by a calm person about a state they are not in.
A manipulative practice of placing a large visible order with no intention of it being filled, in order to influence others, then cancelling it as price approaches.
The reason visible depth is not evidence of demand. Resting orders are intentions rather than commitments, and they can vanish in microseconds.
A US FDA measure letting border officials detain a factory’s products without examining them.
In practice, that plant stops exporting to the US until the FDA is satisfied — often for years.
A formula for the position size that maximises long-run growth given a known edge.
Mathematically correct and far too aggressive in practice, because you never know your edge that precisely.
