How this dashboard works

What you're looking at

This is a read-only view of a local-first swing scanner. It does not place live trades unless paper execution is explicitly enabled on the server. The page auto-refreshes every 30 seconds from DuckDB and the latest scan cycle.

• Hero metrics — market open/closed, VIX, BTC DVOL, position-sizing scalar ψ, and last cycle stats.
• Benchmark returns — short-horizon performance for SPY, QQQ, IWM, TLT, GLD.
• Price / VIX / DVOL charts — historical bars stored locally.
• Signal leaderboard — ranked confluence scores from the most recent scan.
• Paper trades & cycle history — what the scanner logged or would have traded.
• Sentiment ribbon — quick regime readouts (VIX, breadth, movers, etc.) scrolling under the header.

What the scanner does each cycle

Roughly every 3 minutes during US market hours (longer when closed):

1. Pull recent equity bars from Alpaca (IEX feed), BTC DVOL from Deribit, and VIX into DuckDB.
2. For each symbol in the universe (29 names): compute VARS vs SPY, TTM Squeeze, EMA 9/21, RSI, ATR%.
3. Filter for liquidity and volatility bands ($50M+ ADV, 1.5–8% ATR%).
4. Score confluence (V1.3): VARS above its 20-day MA, EMA alignment, RSI 40–70, relaxed squeeze rule.
5. Rank survivors and surface up to 3 alerts per day.
6. Size positions with ψ from the VIX/DVOL regime; submit Alpaca paper orders only if execution is enabled.

Not financial advice. Default mode is scan + log only (ENABLE_PAPER_EXECUTION=false). Paper execution is ON on this instance.

Where it lives

The scanner and this dashboard run on Atlas, a homelab server (PowerEdge R720) on your LAN. Both services are Docker containers from the trading-scanner repo.
