The answers you gave when you signed up — editable, any time. Nothing here places a trade, but Broker & Mode below decides where one goes when you do.
⚙️ This page shapes how Context reads the market for you — and where your orders go.
Broker & Mode is the only control here with money behind it. Your style sets scanner weights, signal
sensitivity and default chart interval. Your tickers seed the scanner and the watchlists.
Position sizing and contract choice live on Signals Settings ↗;
the autonomous paper engine has its own page at Shadow Settings ↗.
Broker & Mode
Where an order actually goes when you press Execute. Context asks the broker adapter
itself rather than reading a saved setting, so what it says here is what is true right now.

Emergency Controls
Two irreversible actions that go straight to the broker without asking the strategy
engine first. Kill Switch cancels every open order. Flatten closes every position and cancels
every order. They only appear when there is a connected Alpaca account for them to act on.

Your Style
Pick the hold time that matches how you actually trade. This changes scanner weighting, signal sensitivity and the chart interval Context opens by default.
Your Tickers
The symbols Context watches for you. Focus list is what the signal engine prioritizes; scanner universe is the wider pool it sweeps.
Focus list
The handful you actually trade. Type a symbol and press Enter.
Scanner universe
Comma-separated. The broader list the scanner sweeps each session.
Risk & Session
How aggressive Context is with you, and the hours it considers your session.
Risk tolerance
Shifts how forgiving the signal thresholds are. This is a posture, not a dollar limit — dollars live on Signals Settings.
Session start
Your local market open. Default 09:30 ET.
Session end
When you stop taking new setups. Default 16:00 ET.
Chart Defaults
What a chart looks like the moment it opens. Changing your style above resets these to that style’s defaults — override them here afterwards if you want.
