This checklist separates software, broker and market-data readiness.

Review Action listRunning version & updates

A software release is digitally signed by the publisher. Jack does not need to sign a document. A second shortcut click reopens an existing desk; it does not restart it.

Automatic startup

Waiting for startup status.

UNAVAILABLE

Verified updates, preserved account state and current broker readiness are separate checks.

SELECTED STRATEGY

Waiting for strategy identity

Strategy version and installed policy are unavailable.

UNAVAILABLE

Future strategies arrive through verified signed releases, then appear here. Changing a strategy requires paused entries and fresh confirmation that the account is flat.

How to read this view

Each node is an instrument. Strong positive return correlations pull nodes together; strong negative links are dashed and push them apart. At most three positive and one negative links are selected per instrument; a link chosen by either endpoint is shown. Colors rank observed return volatility from cool blue to hot red. Motion and light pulses illustrate the force layout, not orders or incoming trades. “Components” counts connected groups of displayed positive links, including isolated nodes.

Paper and live modes use only fresh IBKR quote midpoints from actual candidate snapshots, matched in completed 5-second buckets. It requires at least 12 shared returns and nonzero variance. Missing data is never filled in. History starts when this page opens and resets across sessions, connections and source changes. Short-window correlations are descriptive and can be noisy.

      Risk status is an entry permission check, not a prediction of profit. Protective exits remain managed while entries are paused.

      This is a frozen opening reference, never current VIX. New entries are blocked when fresh QQQ is below VWAP and the opening VIX change is at least 15%. Missing required evidence blocks readiness. Later intraday VIX deterioration is intentionally ignored.

      Candidate settings

      Operator controls

      Grades and notes do not establish eligibility. Automatic technical, contract and universe checks still apply. Adding or editing a name never starts the engine or creates a retrospective entry.

      Risk controls

      Waiting for the current allocation and sizing basis.

      Trade risk ≤ aggregate risk ≤ daily loss ≤ 2%. Position exposure ≤ gross exposure ≤ 200%. Limits do not guarantee fills at a stop. Saving requires paused entries and a freshly reconciled flat account; it does not clear a daily loss latch or resume trading.

      Setup & connections

      Exchange session

      Confirm today’s U.S. market calendar before enabling entries. Entries must be paused with no positions.

      IBKR · account & execution mode

      Select paper or live explicitly at launch and use the matching TWS or IB Gateway login. Exact account, data permissions and price increments are checked locally. See docs/ACCOUNT_MODES.md.

      TWS is the desktop API host. This package does not place orders by clicking its interface.

      Indicator data · selected at launch

      IBKR is the default indicator source. Optional Databento input is selected through a local configuration at launch; this page does not change providers.

      Read docs/DATA_SOURCES.md before selecting a feed. IBKR remains responsible for execution quotes, VIX, account data and orders. Deepvue and Alpaca are not required.

      Waiting for source diagnostics.
      Discover IBKR candidates

      Broker scans suggest names only. Selected names still require automatic contract, universe, history and setup qualification.

      No scan requested.
      Deepvue · optional personal research

      Tradinator calculates its indicators locally and does not need Deepvue. The optional reader captures advisory context; it cannot authorize a trade.

      Reader disabled · optional

      Enable only if wanted by launching with --enable-deepvue, then follow deepvue/README.md. Without this option, pairing and queued reads are unavailable.

      Optional reader is off. No Deepvue connection is required.

      Connect to the local desk to see software update status.

      The engine checks in the background each time it launches. Refreshing this page does not start another check.

      Check again is discovery-only. The commissioned launcher automatically verifies and installs signed updates, waits for a freshly reconciled flat account before restarting, then checks account, mode and trading readiness. An explicit Pause remains preserved. See docs/ONE_CLICK_STARTUP.md and docs/CLOUD_UPDATES.md.

      Cloud activity

      Optional private activity uploader. Pair the installation using docs/CLOUD_SETUP.md and launch with --cloud-config. Its network work runs in a separate process.

      Open private cloud dashboard ↗

      A running worker does not confirm delivery. Check cloud receipt timestamps. Manual staging only downloads and verifies. The commissioned launcher manages safe installation and restart; the optional activity uploader does not control trading.

      Databento · optional raw recorder

      This separate, optional worker writes DBN files for review. Its Start and Stop controls do not select, start or stop the primary indicator feed. Configure recording locally only if wanted.
