One wall. Everything on it.
A one-person desk has one scarce resource, and it is not compute — it is attention. So the harness puts everything a session needs on a single tiled surface, and works hard at not asking for more of that attention than an event deserves.
Levels are output, not annotation.
The entry, the four take-profit rungs and the stop on this chart were not drawn by a person afterwards. They are where the engine put them, rendered from the same state the order router is acting on. The ladder on the right of the price axis is a distance ruler in account terms, so the size of a move is legible before it happens rather than after.
The ticket underneath handles both halves of a trade: getting on, and — the part that actually decides outcomes — managing what is already on. Break-even, trail, partial take-profits and a hard close are one press each.
What is true, right now.
A strategy is a set of conditions, and the failure mode of every automated desk is an operator who cannot tell which of them currently hold. The rail names each condition, shows whether it is true this second and the price it last evaluated at, and states the session’s own run state above them — stopped, started, armed, pilot, trading — because those are five different things and conflating them is how people get surprised.
Eyes on the tape, ears on the room.
A spoken channel, streaming on a schedule that follows the session. It subscribes to the event stream the engine already produces, so what you hear is what happened. It is deliberately narrow: fills, risk events, a threshold breach, a piece of news that actually moves the position — and silence for everything else.
- Good Morning SF
- Overnight, the open ahead, and what changed while nobody was watching.
- Opening Bell
- The first prints, and whether the session opened the way the desk expected.
- Power Hour
- Positioning into the last hour.
- Closing Bell
- What the session actually did, before anyone tells a story about it.
- After Hours
- Anything that moved after the print.
Six panes, one surface.
Panes drag, split and close like windows, and a layout can be saved and restored per operator. The wall below is one arrangement; it is not the only one.
- Chart
- Bars or Renko, the engine's trend ribbon, and the open position's entry, take-profit rungs and stop drawn where the engine placed them.
- Ticket
- Market, limit and stop entry with a size stepper, then break-even, auto-pilot, take-profit and trailing controls for managing what is already on.
- Strategy
- Session state — stopped, started, armed, pilot, trading — over a grid of named signal conditions and the price each last evaluated at.
- Squawk
- The spoken channel: what is on air, the text of the last read, and the day's program schedule.
- Music
- A generative station that ducks itself when the desk speaks, so the room has a floor without competing with the squawk.
- Server
- Engine health, market access, data staleness, and which model the gateway is actually serving right now.
A white desk with dark screens on it.
The appearance control in the header relights the wall and leaves the instruments alone — panes stay dark in both modes, because a screen does not change colour when you turn the room light on. It is the product’s own decision, and this site is built the same way. Try it.
How an idea earns capitalEvery screenshot on this site is captured from the running desk. P&L, account figures and position size are masked throughout — we don’t publish them — and strategy parameters are removed. Machine addresses and connection panes are cropped out.
