Northstar intelligence suite / module 02

Trading Lab.

A risk-first command centre for screening, sizing and auditing US equity trade ideas. It is not an autonomous money-making machine; every decision must be backed by fresh data and validated rules.

Experimental · no live orders. This page uses a separate $1,000 virtual planning allocation. It does not read, sell or modify your real holdings. Alpaca is checked read-only. No trade is submitted from this dashboard.
1 · Review evidence

Start with the market context and research shortlist. A high score is not a buy signal.

2 · Define invalidation

Use the calculator only after you have a reasoned entry and a clear stop level.

3 · Record, don’t execute

Saved plans are local notes. Paper order execution is not enabled.

The planning allocation is a fixed research budget, not your broker's buying power or current equity. Planned risk is not a guaranteed maximum loss because prices can gap through stops.

Sizing uses the smaller of the 0.5% risk budget and 25% position-notional cap, rounded down to whole shares. It excludes real-time spread/slippage until verified.

NOT CHECKED

The existing integration is read-only. Test it to verify that the server can reach your paper account.

Broker account cash and buying power are intentionally not treated as your $1,000 planning allocation.
