A News and Chart Panel for Manual Event-Driven Trading
Summary
This document describes a trading interface that combines real-time headlines, price charts, account equity, and position information in one panel. News from two feed categories is normalized into a common record format, filtered by user-specified keywords, and aligned by timestamp with chart bars. Users can review the event and price together, then issue manual commands to open or close positions, change order size, or refresh the feed.
The system is an information and execution aid, not an automated news-direction strategy: it does not decide whether a headline is bullish or bearish. Its evidence is a workflow description and implementation details rather than performance testing. Timestamp alignment is approximate and does not establish that a headline caused a price move; feeds may be delayed, incomplete, or unavailable, and manual trading remains exposed to fast markets, slippage, liquidity limits, and mistaken interpretation.
Key ideas
- The panel displays price bars, account and position data, and recent headlines together.
- News records are standardized, deduplicated, keyword-filtered, and associated with chart bars by timestamp.
- Manual commands let the user open, close, or flatten positions and adjust order size.
- The tool leaves interpretation and trade direction to the user rather than generating autonomous signals.
- Time alignment shows coincidence, not proof that a headline caused a market move.
