What Visor Is
Visor is a market intelligence workspace. Think of it as a second monitor built out of composable panels — charts, news, a signal scanner, order-flow tools, backtests — that you arrange to watch the markets you care about. Everything is designed to help you see what is happening across a lot of instruments at once, and to read it clearly.
What it does
- Aggregates signals and news into a live feed and a scanner, so activity across many tickers surfaces in one place instead of a dozen browser tabs.
- Charts and analytics — candlesticks with a large indicator library, seasonality, correlation and pairs tools, an options calculator, and order-flow views for the instruments that support them.
- Backtesting with honest scoring — you can write a rule-based strategy, test it on historical data, and — crucially — see whether the result survives a battery of robustness checks rather than just whether it looks good.
The one thing it never does
Visor describes the market. It never tells you what to do with your money.
That is a deliberate design rule, not a legal footnote. Every signal, every analysis, and every number in Visor is phrased as a general observation about an instrument or event — the same for everyone — and never as a personal recommendation to buy, sell, or hold. You will never see "buy this" or "you should enter here." You will see "the scanner detected a bullish engulfing candle on this symbol," and it is up to you what, if anything, that means for you.
Why draw the line so firmly? Because telling an individual what to do with their money is a regulated activity, and Visor is a tool for informed people to do their own research — not an advice service. Keeping to observations is what makes it useful and honest: it hands you the information and the analysis, and leaves the decision where it belongs, with you.
