Build a dense, customizable trading terminal on top of free and official data sources — without ever displaying a value that is not real, sourced and timestamped.

• Every data category flows through a single provider registry with normalized types; widgets never call providers directly.
• Categories without a free official source resolve to an explicit “not connected” state through the same pipeline, rather than a placeholder number.
• Next.js App Router with server-side data routes as the only callers of external providers, Prisma on Postgres for accounts and the trade journal.

A dark, dense workspace of draggable and resizable widgets across preset workspaces — Overview, Markets, Charts, Macro, News, Rates, Positioning, Seasonality, Calendar, Terminal TV, Portfolio and Risk — plus unlimited custom workspaces. Every widget carries its data source and freshness status.

• Live freshness states that degrade honestly from live to delayed to stale based on each provider's own timestamps.
• Statistics such as seasonality, realized volatility and trade analytics computed in-house, with sample size and method disclosed in the interface.
• A trade journal with CSV and MT4/MT5 report import, and an optional third-party sync whose session tokens are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM.

Server-side caching per provider, an in-memory rate limiter on authentication routes, bcrypt password hashing and JWT sessions, with route protection enforced in the request proxy.

• Preset workspaces wired to real data wherever a free, keyless or official source exists.
• A data-honesty system shared by every widget: status pills, source footers and empty states.
• An extensible provider interface: connecting a new paid data source requires no widget changes.

• Next.jsRendering layer and edge of the application — routes, server components, API handlers.
• ReactInterface composition and client-side interaction.
• TypeScriptShared contract language across client, server and tooling.
• PostgreSQLSystem of record.
• Node.jsServer runtime for application and integration services.
• WebGL & GLSLGPU rendering surface for visual systems and game technology.

Honesty is an architecture decision. Making “unavailable” a first-class state kept the whole interface trustworthy.

Disclosing method and sample size inside the interface costs little space and earns a lot of trust.
