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 now pick the past hour, today, the past week, month, three months, year, five years or everything, and each view is drawn from data the platform actually keeps at that grain — minute samples for the hour and the day, half-hour steps through each session for the week, one close per day or per week further out — never a stretched or padded line. A book younger than the window says so in one line over the plot. On a computer you can drag across the plot to zoom into a span; the window and the zoom live in the page address, so 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 a single row under the plot that never touches the time labels; marks that would overlap become one numbered marker whose card lists every event with its time and a real link. The card opens beside the mark, not under your cursor, stays put while you read it, and a small drift of the mouse no longer swaps it for the next one's. Click pins it; Escape closes it.
• Decided orders say why. In the Inbox, every row under Decided today now carries one plain sentence from the platform — "Held for you: a figure in the PM's reasoning did not match any data it was shown.", "The day's order cap is used up.", "A newer idea from the desk took its place." — a verdict pill that agrees with it (Approved · you, Refused · risk rule, Stopped · guidance, Replaced, Canceled, Expired …), your own note whole behind a More toggle, and a link to the order or the session that wrote it. Codes and check numbers moved to the order's Activity row.
• 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 PM's last desk note contradicts the book beside it — "staying mostly in cash" on a book that is two-thirds invested — the Overview no longer quotes it; it says in the first person that the note called the book something it is not, and links to the session where the note was written. A price the desk was actually shown during a session now counts as a faithful citation, so an order is no longer held for quoting the live print it had just read.
• A calmer console. Every screen opens with the same short introduction — the title, one bold lead, one or two sentences, then its links — and the words on screen are the reader's: the desk's abbreviations and check numbers are spelled out where they are shown, tickers sit in their chip, rows read as sentences instead of dot-separated fragments, and nothing at 1440, 1280 or 390 pixels wide ends a line on a dot, a dash or an arrow. The help drawer's wide tables became readable cards, and their cells are sentences.

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 print 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.
• Performance, Lab, Strategy, Memory, Review, Admin and the other screens share one intro shape; Research, Consult and Your desk keep a compact 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 / coming next

• The holdings-row hierarchy on Portfolio (leads in a heavier weight, numbers as chips, the whole "why held") and role-aware agent run pages are reviewed and re-stamped; they land in the next console job.
• The equity chart's look (a live value tag at the line's end, a baseline hairline, the readout's type) is a named follow-up; this release is the windows and the markers.
• Two questions are now being measured rather than argued: whether the day's order count still refuses any buy on a book inside its posture over the next ten trading days (if it does, a pacing rule replaces the flat count), and whether the desk stops writing notes that contradict the book now that the example it was given no longer primes "staying in cash".
• A few decided-row and Inbox refinements are queued for the Inbox design pass (the pending card's held reason with the right glyph, "sized at your per-order limit" on capped rows, one type step for the row).
