Terminal One

A single-user desktop trading cockpit — NYSE-floor terminal crossed with a late-night slot machine — that monitors positions and runs a deterministic options-trade recommendation engine.

The story

  1. problem

    Opinionated, and auditable

    Most trading UIs are either a spreadsheet or a slot-machine skin. Neither gives a self-directed options trader a second opinion they can audit line by line — or a record of how those calls actually play out.

  2. build

    Rules engine, neon thin client

    A Spring Boot service owns the deterministic recommendation engine, JWT auth, and Postgres. The Electron desktop is a neon thin client: Portfolio Console, Slot Machine, Paper/Taken Ledger. Market data is delayed; greeks and IV are computed in-house. It never routes a live order.

  3. result

    Pull the lever, keep the ledger

    EOD batch plus on-demand lever pulls emit ranked, explainable trades. Paper settlement and a mark-as-taken path build a real track record. Advisory only — not financial advice.
