Helios Terminal

A keyboard-driven desktop workspace for charts, filings, fundamentals, and macro data in one research flow.

Keep the research question in view

Market research often means moving between a chart, a filing, a macro series, and a set of notes. Helios Terminal brings those views into a local desktop workspace. Its persistent command bar opens a security or function directly; the panels can then be arranged side by side.

Color-linked panels share a security. Change the symbol in one panel and the others on that channel follow, while a second channel keeps a different name in place. That makes comparison a workspace decision instead of a cycle of tabs and copied tickers.

One place to follow the evidence

The terminal includes charts, fundamentals, SEC filing views, FRED series, watchlists, and a research journal. A Rust core handles provider requests and local persistence behind a typed interface to the desktop UI. Historical bars sit in DuckDB; SQLite holds the workspace and journal.

Helios is a local research workspace with paper-only workflows. Provider data can vary in timeliness, so findings should be checked against the underlying source before they inform a decision.
