An equity chart with real time ranges, decided orders that say why, and a calmer console

What changed for people using Bellwether

• The equity chart has real time ranges. Under the big number on the Overview you can pick the past hour, today, week, month, three months, year, five years or everything; each view is drawn from data kept at that grain, never a stretched line. On a computer, drag across the plot to zoom; a link opens the same view.
• Chart events sit in one lane and the hover never jumps. Sessions, fills and Consult threads are marked in one row under the plot; marks that would overlap become one numbered marker whose card lists every event with a link. The card opens beside the mark and stays put while you read it; click pins it, Escape closes it.
• Decided orders say why. Every row under Decided today in the Inbox carries one plain sentence ("The day's order cap is used up.", "A newer idea from the desk took its place."), a verdict pill that agrees with it, your own note behind a More toggle, and a link to the order or the session that wrote it.
• An exit is never blocked by the day's order count. The orders-per-day limit still stops the next buy on a busy day, but a sell that reduces or closes a position always goes through; the rule, the help and the desk's instructions say so in the same words.
• The mind card is honest about a stale note. When the Portfolio Manager's last note contradicts the book beside it, such as "staying mostly in cash" on a book two-thirds invested, the Overview says so in the first person and links to the session that wrote it instead of quoting it.
• A calmer console. Every screen opens the same way: the title, one bold lead, one or two sentences, then its links. The desk's abbreviations and check numbers are spelled out where they appear, tickers sit in their chips, and rows read as sentences instead of fragments. The help drawer's wide tables became readable cards.

What you may notice

• The range chips under the chart show the grain the view was drawn at when you rest on the selected one ("Past week, the sessions in half-hour steps"); windows of daily closes say how many sessions and fills they hold instead of drawing hundreds of dots.
• The hour view of a desk that has not run for an hour says "No equity samples in the past hour yet" and "no change recorded" rather than a flat line and "$0.00".
• Decided rows for your own orders read "Placed · you" or "Filled · yours" once; the separate "You" chip appears only where the pill cannot say it.
• Refusals you used to see as a bare code (not enough cash, an unreadable spread) are worded; a refusal the platform has no words for says a trading rule refused it and points at the Activity row that names the rule.
• Every screen opens with the same short introduction; Research, Consult and Your desk keep a one-line version.
• Help articles that described the Inbox and rejected orders were brought up to date (the new pills, the sell exemption, "Canceled" and "Not placed"), and a new article explains why the desk's orders are the size they are. Nine help screenshots were re-shot.

Known gaps and what’s next

• Clearer holdings rows on Portfolio and agent run pages that know your role arrive in the next console release.
• The equity chart's finishing touches, such as a live value at the line's end, follow; this release is the time windows and the markers.
• Measured over the next ten trading days: whether the day's order count still refuses a buy on a book inside its posture, and whether the desk has stopped writing notes that contradict the book.
