Vows, process, and clock

The context panels that keep the session framed.

Vows, process, and market clock

Vows appear as a banner and as a list you affirm with Confirm Trading Vows. The scrolling banner exists so the promise stays in your visual field rather than in a tab you opened once.

Process opens the Process Guide overlay without leaving Rigor, so you can complete steps while the market is open.

The market clock shows the session state: market open, pre-market, after-market, or closed, with countdowns where they apply. Its practical use is the boundary rules. A rule about not trading the first five minutes, or stopping before the close, needs the boundary to be visible, not remembered.

A compact discipline score panel can also sit here, showing your current score without leaving the screen. Watch it during the session rather than after: a score that is already falling by eleven o'clock is a much more useful signal than the same number at the end of the day.

Running the subroutine

If you defined a subroutine in Strategy, the subroutine panel runs it here.

It walks the flow you built: plain steps, branches, loops, checklist nodes that ask for specific checks, and check-in nodes that open forms. A symbol focus loop repeats for each symbol you are watching, and a loop tied to a check can exit when that check comes back red, which is the mechanism that makes you drop a symbol rather than keep working on it.

The difference between the subroutine and the checklist is order. The checklist is a set of things to verify. The subroutine is the sequence you verify them in, repeated per symbol, with the decision points made explicit.

Start without one. Add a subroutine when you notice you are doing the same three things in a different order every time and getting different results.
