DEX: A decentralized exchange or on-chain trading venue that lets users trade through blockchain programs rather than a conventional broker.

Memecoin: An alternate spelling of meme coin. It refers to the same broad category of highly speculative, attention-driven tokens.
P&L: Profit and loss. Realized P&L comes from completed disposals, while unrealized P&L depends on a current valuation of open holdings.
