A big P&L number on the home screen rewards a good day and punishes a bad one before you've done anything — it trains the exact chase-and-flinch behavior a journal is supposed to fix. Today is built for the next decision, not the last result.
Where the market is
A live session strip tells you whether it's pre-market, the regular session, after-hours, or a closed day — backed by the real NYSE calendar, holidays included. It's context, not a quote: no prices, no ticking P&L, just where you are in the trading day so the rest of the screen reads correctly.
The edge worth leaning on
Instead of a score, Today leads with your edge — the strongest positive pattern your own history has earned. It's the one thing worth carrying into the session: the setup, state, or window where your results run above your baseline. What an edge actually is, and why it's expectancy rather than a hot streak, is covered in what is a trading edge; how Kyra decides a pattern is real is in Pattern detection.
A readiness read
The last question before an entry isn't about the chart — it's about you. Today carries a quick readiness read, and the adaptive pre-trade checklist turns it into a few concrete checks: is the setup planned, the risk set, the state named. The longer argument for why a fit trader matters as much as a clean setup is in when to enter a trade.

Why not a P&L scoreboard
A running balance on the home screen is the most natural thing to build and the worst thing for behavior. It anchors every decision to whether you're up or down — exactly the frame that produces revenge trades and victory-lap oversizing. Today is the deliberate opposite: it leads with what helps the next trade, and keeps the scoreboard in your history, where you review it on purpose instead of glancing at it on reflex. The behavioral case is in the reality of day trading.
