The 5m close printed 3,748.9 — breakout confirmed on 1.6× relative volume. I waited for the retest, entered long 0.30 ETH at 3,718.4, and the exchange holds a reduce-only stop at 3,652.0. Planned risk on this position is $19.90.
Prototype · UI concepts
One screen. The agent trades; you hold the brakes.
Three takes on the same moment — a protected long, opened by the agent, watched between turns. Each stays on a single screen, shows only the essentials, and offers the same four deterministic controls from Tools §14.7. The layout language is T3 Code's: a thread, a composer, and calm chrome. Mock data · no network calls.
Variation A
Thread — the mission is a conversation
Closest to T3 Code: a sidebar of missions, one thread, a composer. Market truth appears as small tool cards inside the conversation, exactly where the agent used it.
⚙ entry filled · IOC buy 0.30 @ 3,718.4 · protection confirmed
⚙ watch registered · 5m close < 3,690 → reassess exit · v3
Why keep the stop that low?
It sits under the last accepted swing low at 3,661. Tighter and ordinary noise stops us out; the $19.90 planned risk is inside your $20 per-position limit. Moving it is one message away.
Variation B
Tape — the mission is a log you can talk to
Terminal-minimal: one statline of essentials, a narrated tape where every event reads the same way, and a command bar. Execution receipts fold away until you need them.

Variation C
Focus — the mission is a single living card
Ambient: one card answers everything at a glance — state, position, protection, budget. The chrome disappears; conversation is a single line that expands only when you use it.
Long 0.30 ETH from 3,718.4 · protected at 3,652.0 · exits on a 5m close under 3,690 or at 3,840.
Shared principles
What all three variations refuse to do
No second screen
Everything lives on one screen, like a T3 Code thread. Depth is folded into the surface — receipts, tool cards, answers — never routed to another page.
Essentials only
Price, position, protection, equity, and the loss budget. Four numbers and two small charts answer "is my money safe" without a dashboard.
Limited deterministic controls
Pause, Reduce, Close, Revoke — the §14.7 user controls. They never wait for the harness, and there is deliberately nothing else to press.
