02 / A conversation with the market in view
Illustrative interface
It sees what you see. And keeps watching
The trade is open. The conversation continues. Point to an obstacle, compare a change, and keep the same question in view as conditions evolve.
One selected short / NQ
Should this target change?
Guided illustration · no orders sent
HAL
NQ short · context retained
You / should this target change?
“There’s demand before your target.”
Taking profit ahead of this zone gives up some of the planned move. Keeping the target asks price to trade through it.
Selected demand zone
Attached to this NQ short
“Keep this question in view as the trade develops.”
Later / illustrated continuation
“The zone you asked about is back in play.”
“You asked whether to take profit before this zone. Price is approaching it now.”
Original question retained
Should this target change?
Recheck order flow, event timing and comparable exits.
Target review
Two exits. What evidence would favor either?
The mint line shows the alternative: exit ahead of the zone. The original target remains below. The decision turns on whether that tradeoff is supported by comparable history.

03 / Autonomy under your command
Illustrative interface
Many strategies.
One book to protect.
Three strategies can agree on a trade—and still create one concentrated bet. Portfolio-level risk puts those decisions in context before they reach the book.

HAL follows the trade. You set the authority
Strategies execute within the authority you set. HAL monitors automatically; each proposed trading change requires your approval.

04 / Put a thought to work
In development
Your next strategy
could start as a sentence.
Describe the setup. Inspect what HAL inferred. Then define the entry, exit and risk rules.
You → HAL
“Tell me when CVD diverges at the value low with absorption over 0.4.”
What came from you? What did HAL add?
01 / DIVERGENCE
Bullish CVD
Proposed: bullish · 3 bars
02 / LOCATION
Near value-area low
Proposed: within 2 points
03 / ORDER FLOW
Absorption score
Greater than 0.40
04 / SESSION
New York
Proposed session filter
From your instruction
“Absorption over 0.4” supplies the threshold directly. HAL has not added a new threshold.
Illustrative interpretation. Selecting a condition shows its source; it does not edit or activate a strategy.
Strategy C / admission decision
Valid signal.
No room in this book.

Illustrative interface
You bring an idea.
It can find the next one
The intended discovery result is an inspectable candidate: a recurring setup, its entry conditions, exit policy and risk assumptions. Human ideas and discovered patterns face the same tests.
_ Test the candidate. Run it in shadow. Review it for promotion. Keep checking for decay.

05 / Research with an opposing view
Illustrative interface
Give it an idea.
It tries to break it.
“Would moving to break-even sooner improve the strategy?” A better backtest is a hypothesis. Put the same rule in front of data it was not tuned on.
Earlier break-even / 10 ticks
Earlier break-even looked promising
Average R per trade after modeled costs. R is a unit of initial trade risk.

Illustrative study. The difference is not a significance test or a verified trading record.
The connected foundation / operating model
One record, across the operation
Tick-level market context
Trades, quotes and depth feed the order flow view.
Research alongside execution
Research can examine the record without interrupting execution.
Decisions preserved in time
Rule verdicts, reasoning and configuration stay with the decision.
One shared record
The chart, intelligence layer and journal draw on connected evidence.
06 / The question you rarely get to ask
Illustrative interface
And then it studies you
You paused a strategy. Closed a position early. Overrode the system. Did your intervention help?
It studies the decisions you made while trading. Compare each intervention with a modeled continuation of the original plan.
One intervention / illustrative journal example
“I paused the strategy. Did that help?”
Same decision point · 07:15 / illustrated session
Pause Reversion for one hour
Stated reason: “chop after CPI.”
Development
You paused it.
New entries paused → 1 setup skipped
The next Reversion setup did not open a position. The pause and its stated reason remain attached to the event.
Trade from this setup
140 trades · illustrative
The day becomes a shared memory: what the system saw, what you changed, and what happened next.
