Product workflow

The core Lumiere review loop.

A setup is useful only when the source, pattern, invalidation, risk, and review plan are clear before the order ticket.

Analyze

Momentum, catalyst, and source screen

Lumiere checks material news, daily change, chart movement, and relative volume while labeling the active data source, including broker-aligned IBKR context when connected.

Explain

Pattern lesson and overlays

The mentor compares the current setup with ideal and failed versions, then highlights support, resistance, VWAP, and invalidation.

Plan

Risk-defined paper plan

The user sets entry, stop, risk dollars, and R target before previewing a bracket-style paper plan.

Review

Journal the outcome

The retention loop saves the setup, the rationale, the risk model, and what would confirm or invalidate the thesis.

Illustrative sample review

A VWAP reclaim review with explicit reasons to stand aside

This hypothetical example shows the shape of a Lumiere review. It is not current market data, a backtest, a recommendation, or evidence of investment performance.

Inputs the review names

Setup
Price reclaims VWAP after trading below it.
Source
Provider, quote timestamp, bar interval, volume state, and catalyst provenance.
Invalidation
The reclaim fails on the review time frame and price cannot recover the level.
Risk budget
User-selected dollar amount; never inferred from conviction.

What can stop the plan

  • Quote or chart source is stale or unavailable.
  • Spread and slippage consume too much of the risk budget.
  • Invalidation distance makes the resulting size impractical.
  • The move is already extended beyond the entry condition.
  • Existing correlated exposure makes total risk too high.

Example decision

Review complete; participation still conditional.

The setup is not “approved.” The output preserves the source, thesis, invalidation, risk math, and no-trade conditions so the user can make and later review their own decision.
