§00 DASHBOARD¶

OVERVIEW¶

The Dashboard is the page that loads when you sign in. It's a single-screen briefing of the US market right now — a live ticker bar across the top, a type-and-go command bar, columns of live tiles below, and a macro footer. Every data panel re-fetches when you refresh, so one button (or one pull-to-refresh gesture on mobile) re-pulls the whole surface.

Full Tapeboard dashboard — ticker bar, command bar, multi-column tile grid, and the economic-calendar / world-markets footer

WHAT IT IS¶

A grid of independent panels — if one data source is briefly unavailable, the rest of the page keeps working. On desktop it's a multi-column layout with the Economic Calendar and World Markets below. Mobile collapses to a single reordered column built for an active-trader phone glance — your watchlist first, then news, then market-wide tiles, with foreign indices last.

Each panel carries a brutalist §NN section number in its header (§00 DASHBOARD down to §11 WORLD_MARKETS) so you can reference a tile by its number. An Updated N s ago badge in the top-right of the ticker bar counts seconds since the page loaded — that's your at-a-glance stale-check. The product tour can be restarted any time from Settings → Restart Tour.

WHEN TO USE IT¶

First thing in the morning to read the state of the tape before opening any single ticker. Mid-day to sanity-check breadth, the Fear & Greed regime, and sector rotation against what your positions are doing. After hours to scan the watchlist-earnings panel for tomorrow's calendar. It's the page you leave open on the second monitor all session.

OPEN IT¶

Path: /dashboard

Shortcut: ⌘1

Tier-gate: Free — every panel renders for every signed-in tier. Anonymous (logged-out) visitors get the public market-overview tiles populated and a sign-up teaser in place of the personal/authed-only tiles.

GUEST VS SIGNED-IN¶

If you're logged out (reverse-trial guest), the public tiles still populate: the ticker bar, sector performance, Fear & Greed, mini-heatmap, breadth, news, economic calendar, and world markets. The tiles that are inherently personal swap to a compact teaser (lock icon + "Sign up free") instead of mounting an empty widget: Market Movers, Pre-Market / session gaps, Watchlist Movers, and Watchlist Earnings. The movers/gaps teasers also link out to the Scanner, a surface guests can use right now.

FEATURES¶

The Top Ticker Bar (§00)¶

The strip at the very top (§00 region) is a six-cell grid of the broad-market proxies, in display order:

Cell	Symbol	Label	Notes
1	DIA	DOW_JONES	SPDR Dow ETF as the Dow proxy
2	QQQ	NASDAQ	Invesco QQQ as the Nasdaq-100 proxy
3	SPY	S&P_500	SPDR S&P 500 ETF
4	IWM	RUSSELL_2K	iShares Russell 2000
5	BTC	BITCOIN	Bitcoin, live; labelled `24h TRADING`
6	EUR/USD	EURO	Spot euro; labelled `FOREX OPEN` / `CLOSED` on the FX week

Each cell shows the name, ticker, last price, and a coloured ▲/▼ percent. A per-cell status footer reads the session: equities show OPEN 09:30 EST / PRE-MARKET / AFTER HOURS / CLOSED 16:00 EST; outside regular hours an equity cell appends an extended-hours segment — O/N (overnight), PRE, or AFTER — when there's a fresh extended tick. Cells flash green/red for ~500ms on each price change.

Equity prices refresh automatically — about every 10 seconds when the market is open and every 30 seconds when it's closed; Bitcoin updates live in real time. The strip cards are display-only — they are not clickable links (use the command bar below them, or the global header search, to open a symbol). Each cell renders independently, so a single bad crypto or FX tick can't blank the whole strip.

The top ticker bar — six cells (DIA, QQQ, SPY, IWM, BTC, EUR/USD) with last price, percent change, and per-cell session labels

Ticker Command Bar¶

Directly under the ticker bar sits the ticker command bar — a slim, Bloomberg-style type-and-go input (desktop only; hidden on phones, which use the header search). Press / anywhere on the dashboard to focus it, type a symbol (AAPL, NVDA, BRK.B), and press Enter to jump straight to that symbol's research page.

Esc blurs.
Input is normalised to uppercase and validated against a symbol pattern; invalid input is silently rejected.
Submitted tickers are added to the Command Palette's Recent Tickers list.
The footer hint reads [ / ] FOCUS · [ ENTER ] GO.

Market Movers (§01)¶

MarketMoversPanel — the top-left tile. Two side-by-side sub-tables built from the cross-market movers feed, with a local cache for quiet windows:

MOST_ACTIVE — the union of gainers, losers, and most-active names across S&P and Nasdaq, deduped and sorted by volume (top 8 shown).
HIGH_VOL_TRENDING — the same universe ranked by |change%| × √volume, so it surfaces genuine big-mover-on-real-tape rather than a 200% gap on a few thousand shares. A $1 price floor is applied.

Each row shows a ticker chip, symbol, company name, CHG%, price, and volume. Click any row (or press Enter on it) to open that name's research page. The panel refreshes automatically — about every 30 seconds.

Market_Movers_§01

§02 PRE_MARKET_GAPS¶

Divided into two systematic columns tracking opening/closing price discrepancies:

02B AFTER_HOURS_GAPS¶

§02B AFTER_HOURS_GAPS: Displays post-market extensions and regular session gap variations. The values displayed closely track the pre-market percentages for the session.

Section §03: Sector Performance¶

A horizontal bar chart visualising standard industry sector trends for the S&P 500: * Gainers: Real Estate (+1.03%), Consumer Defensive (+0.45%), Healthcare (+0.38%), Utilities (+0.26%), Industrials (+0.23%), Basic Materials (+0.12%), Communication Services (+0.11%). * Losers: Energy (-0.59%), Technology (-1.57%).

Section §04: Heatmap (S&P 500 - Cap-Weighted)¶

A matrix grid block representing prominent mega-cap components, color-coded by performance (Green for positive, Red for negative): * Tech/Semis: NVDA (-1.47%), AAPL (+0.15%), MSFT (+1.18%), AVGO (-1.69%). * E-Commerce/Search: AMZN (+0.75%), GOOGL (-0.89%). * Automotive & Hardware: TSLA (-1.02%), MU (-4.41%), INTC (-3.11%), AMD (-3.11%). * Financials & Defensive: JPM (+0.71%), WMT (+0.07%), LLY (+0.58%), XOM (+0.07%).

§10 ECONOMIC_CALENDAR¶

Chronological list tracking critical macro-economic releases for the week of JUN 22-26, 2026. Includes key metrics such as "India - Muharram" and "Industrial Production" figures with Actual, Estimated, and Previous comparisons.

HOW TO USE¶

Morning routine Open the dashboard before touching any individual ticker. Read the ticker bar for overnight moves in equities, Bitcoin, and the euro. Scan Market Movers for names already printing unusual volume or outsized gaps.

Mid-session check Return to the dashboard to sanity-check breadth, the Fear & Greed regime, and sector rotation against your open positions. The independent panel architecture means a single slow data source will not block your read of the rest of the tape.

After hours Use the Watchlist Earnings tile to review tomorrow's earnings calendar against your watchlist. Breadth and sector tiles still update in extended hours for context.

Second-monitor use Leave the dashboard open on a secondary display all session. The auto-refresh rates for the ticker bar and Market Movers panel keep the surface current without manual intervention.

Tip

The product tour can be restarted at any time from Settings → Restart Tour if you want a guided walkthrough of every tile.
