Example workflows

Sequences, not a feature list

Six routes through the terminal, each one a real order of operations. Every mnemonic is a live screen and every code is a link straight to it.

How to use these

Click any mnemonic to open that screen. Type the same code into the command bar and it goes to the same place — the mnemonics are the interface, and learning six of them is faster than learning a menu.

Give each screen ten to fifteen seconds. They fetch from upstream publishers on load, so a screen judged at two seconds is being judged on its loading state.

Any screen may report that a source is unavailable. That is the design: the source is named and the reason is given rather than the gap being filled.

Value a company in six screens

Fifteen to twenty minutes, most of it reading

The path from "what is this company" to a defensible view of what it is worth. Each step feeds the next, which is why the order matters.

  1. SOVWSimple Overview

    Start with what the company says it is: description, headline figures, and the segments it reports. Everything after this is a refinement of the picture you form here.

  2. FAFinancial Accounting

    The filed statements, from SEC XBRL company facts. Read the trend before you read any ratio built on it.

  3. EEEarnings Estimates

    What the market currently expects. The gap between this and the trend you just read is where most of the argument lives.

  4. ANRAnalyst Recommendations

    The dispersion, not the average. A tight consensus and a wide one imply completely different things about your own estimate.

  5. WACCCost of Capital

    The discount rate, with its components on screen: market value from live quotes and SEC share counts, debt and tax facts from filings, and CAPM on a live Treasury rate and a measured beta.

  6. RVRelative Valuation

    Sanity-check the result against comparable companies. If the discounted view and the relative view disagree sharply, one of your inputs is wrong.

Before an earnings print

Twenty minutes the afternoon before

What is already priced in, and where the positioning is. Run it the day before, not the morning of.

  1. ECALEvents Calendar

    Confirm the date and time, and see what else prints in the same window. A macro release in the same hour changes how the reaction reads.

  2. EEEarnings Estimates

    The number to beat, and how far it has moved recently.

  3. ANRAnalyst Recommendations

    The spread of estimates. A wide spread means the print resolves a genuine disagreement, and moves further when it does.

  4. OCHAINOptions Chain & GEX

    The implied move and where dealer gamma sits. This is the market pricing its own uncertainty, and it is the most direct read available here.

  5. DPOOLDark Pool Block-to-Retail Divergence

    Off-exchange share, from FINRA's weekly OTC transparency data. Weekly, and lagged — treat it as context, not a signal.

  6. NEWSNews Hub

    What has already been said, so you can tell a genuine surprise from a story that was public a week ago.

Read the rates backdrop before anything else

Ten minutes, and it changes how every valuation reads

The discount rate underneath every equity screen comes from here. Worth running first on a day when rates have moved.

  1. CURVEFutures Contango/Backwardation Yield Curve

    The shape of the curve, which is the shape of what the market expects.

  2. USSWUSD Swap Curve

    The rates that actually get transacted, alongside the government curve.

  3. LIQDRCentral Bank Liquidity Plumbing Drain

    Where liquidity is being added or withdrawn — the level beneath the policy rate everyone quotes.

  4. FEDPVFed Audio Panic Volatility Derivative

    Policy-communication signal around FOMC events, on the Fed's own published calendar.

  5. ECOEconomic Calendar

    What prints this week, and when.

  6. ECMIEvent-Correlation Market Impact

    Which of those releases has historically moved the things you hold.

Explain a move you cannot explain

Ten minutes

A stock moved and there is no news. Work through the flow before you conclude anything about the company.

  1. GPPrice Graph

    Establish the move: how large, over what window, and against what baseline.

  2. SDRVSame-Day Relative Volume

    Is the volume unusual, or does it only feel unusual? Everything downstream depends on this answer.

  3. OCHAINOptions Chain & GEX

    Options positioning. A gamma-driven move looks nothing like a fundamental one.

  4. DPOOLDark Pool Block-to-Retail Divergence

    Off-exchange share against its own recent range.

  5. BFEEDBehavioral Signal Feed

    Whether retail attention arrived before the move or after it.

  6. PAIRAlgorithmic Pair-Trade Cointegration

    Whether a historically cointegrated peer moved with it. If the whole pair moved, it was not company-specific.

Diligence beyond the filings

Half an hour, and it is the half most people skip

What a company is doing that the financial statements have not caught up with yet. Everything here is public and none of it is in the 10-K.

  1. BIBusiness Intelligence

    Federal awards, regulatory dockets and litigation resolved to this issuer. Note that the matcher prefers an honest "no match" to a wrong one.

  2. SPLCSupply Chain Map

    Disclosed relationships, and the concentration risk they imply.

  3. LOBBYCongressional & Lobbyist Front-Running

    Where the company is spending on policy, which is often the first sign of a regulatory problem.

  4. PATCXPrice Pattern Complexity

    Hurst exponent, entropy and fractal dimension of the realised daily path — how far from a coin flip this symbol has actually been.

  5. JOBPVStealth Job Board Pivot Detector

    Public hiring pages. A new department in the job listings is a strategy change six months before it is a press release.

  6. CLINFDA/Clinical Trial Subreddit NLP

    For healthcare names: registered trials, phases and upcoming catalysts.

Set up a list you will actually keep using

Twenty minutes once, then it maintains itself

Turning the terminal from something you visit into something that tells you when to visit it.

  1. EQSEquity Screener

    Filter on the fields this terminal computes itself, rather than on a vendor's precomputed score.

  2. WWatchlist

    Keep what survived the screen, with the columns you care about.

  3. PORTPortfolio Manager

    Import holdings by CSV so position sizes are real and every screen recalculates against them.

  4. PINSPinned UI Dashboard

    Pin the specific panels you check daily into one surface.

  5. NLRTNews Alerts

    Rules that fire in-page and as a browser notification. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you configure SMTP yourself.

  6. MREPMarket Report

    The end-of-day read across everything above.

Where the rest are

These six cover a fraction of what is reachable. The full list of screens, with the group each belongs to, is on the screen index; the per-screen documentation explains what each one shows and what it cannot tell you.
