Can someone explain to me what multiplier means? I keep seeing different variation of multiplier in Expert Advisors. There's the plain 'multiplier', 'lot multiplier', etc and i dont have any clue what it means.

Also what is the difference between multiplier and exponent?

Generally multiplier is used in martingale strategies where you double the trade size after loss.
When you double the position the mutiplier is 2, when you triple it it is 3, etcc..

So multiplier only multiply lot size right? Its not used to multiply the order distance?

Multiplier = Lot_Multiplier = Lot_Exponent = ... = ... = ...
All these names for calculating the Next Lot for the trade to open in case
the Order(s) are still in loss and price is away by (usually) certain number of
pips. This number of pips could named by Step or PipStep or something
similar.
These names normally used in Averaging/Martingale/Grid EAs.

you could name variable profit and use it as stop loss :)
