What a universe, parameter set, and execution mode are
Glossary
Quick definitions for the terms used when creating a deployment on the Deployment tab of an algorithm.
E
Execution Mode
Controls whether a deployment trades for real (backend field: execution_mode). Paper simulates order fills against live market data — no exchange balance check, no real funds touched. Live places real orders through the deployment's connected market key.

Parameter Set
A named, reusable bundle of an algorithm's runtime parameters and its schedule (how often the algorithm runs). Linking a deployment to a parameter set locks those values so they can be shared and updated across multiple deployments at once, instead of setting them individually on each one.
Related: ·U
Universe
The set of assets a deployment trades: the market (exchange/broker), the trading symbol the portfolio is funded in (e.g. USDT or EUR), and the target symbols the algorithm may buy and sell. A deployment uses either a reusable preset universe or a custom universe defined just for that deployment.
