# Live Pulse Ticker & Contextual Intelligence Panels

> Added: 2026-02-20

## Overview

Rather than showing the same market data widgets on every tab (which creates UI fatigue), the dashboard now uses a **contextual intelligence** architecture:

- A **global Live Pulse Ticker** visible on all pages.
- **Tab-specific panels** that surface relevant data based on what the user is doing.

## Global: Live Pulse Ticker

**Component**: `src/components/LivePulseTicker.tsx`  
**Location**: Persistent bar immediately below the sticky header (all tabs)  
**Height**: 40px

### Contents

| Section | Description |
|:---|:---|
| **Market Pulse** (left) | Scrolling animated ticker of all tracked symbols with 24h % change (green = up, red = down) |
| **AI Top Picks** (right) | Top 3 symbols ranked by `AIAnalysisRule` confidence score |

### Design Rationale
- Provides a "Bloomberg Terminal" feel — the app feels alive and real-time at all times.
- Non-intrusive 40px height — never competes with primary tab content.
- The AI section only appears if `AIAnalysisRule` data is available; otherwise shows "SCANNING...".

## Marketplace Tab — Discovery Intelligence Panels

**Component**: `src/tabs/MarketplaceTab.tsx`

Two panels rendered above the strategy grid to help users find the right template:

### 🧠 Best AI Setups Panel
- Shows top 5 symbols with the highest AI confidence scores.
- Includes a color-gradient progress bar (hue shifts from yellow → green as confidence rises).
- Intended message: *"These markets are high-confidence right now — find a strategy to match."*

### 🔥 Top Volatile (24h) Panel
- Shows top 6 symbols sorted by absolute 24h % change.
- Displayed in a 2-column grid for compact scanning.
- Intended message: *"These markets are moving — match them with an aggressive or balanced strategy."*

## My Strategies Tab — Operational Intelligence Panels

**Component**: `src/tabs/MyStrategiesTab.tsx`

Two panels rendered between the header and strategy cards:

### Recent Activity Panel
- Shows the last 5 system `alerts` from `botState.alerts`.
- Each row: icon (🚀/⏰/⚠️/ℹ️) + symbol + message + relative time ("just now", "3m ago").
- Intended message: *"Here's what just happened to your bots."*

### Your Markets (24h) Panel
- Shows **only the symbols that the user's active strategies are currently trading**.
- Includes a mini bar chart showing the direction and magnitude of each move.
- Intended message: *"Here's how your specific markets are performing right now."*
- Personalized — empty state shows "Deploy a strategy to see its market data."
