Ticker, or stock ticker, or stock symbol
A ticker, stock ticker, or stock symbol, is a series of 1-5 letters, or an abbreviation, that represents a company or ETF’s stock listed on a share market. They were introduced in November 1867, around the time of ticker tape machines, and were based on a ‘tick’ that shows movement of shares prices going up or down. They made trading across America more accurate and efficient using a shortened version of a company name. Today, some tickers are quirky and inventive, such as: Petco’s Health and Wellness Company’s WOOF, Harley-Davidson’s HOG, Cheesecake Factory CAKE, Dave & Buster's Entertainment’s PLAY, Gorilla Technology Group’s GRRR, Pacer US Small Cap Cash Cows CALF, Steven Madden’s SHOO, Southwest Airlines’ LUV, and Olympic Steel’s ZEUS.

Trade, or order
In financial markets, a trade is buying or selling securities, commodities, or derivatives. On a share market like the NYSE or Nasdaq, a trade is when an investor sells shares to another investor. With Hatch, you can place four types of orders:
- Market order - Buying and selling shares in real-time (or when the markets next open)
- Auto-invest - A market order will be placed on your behalf at the frequency you choose, such as ‘the 21st of every month’ or every fortnight, month, quarter, etc
- Limit order - Enter the exact number of shares and price wanted to buy or sell shares; if the share price isn't reached, the order will not be completed
- Stop-loss orders and stop-buy orders - Instructions to sell shares if they drop in value to a certain price, called the stop price
