HESTOL is an AI-assisted trading workspace powered by CORE, designed to connect the markets you follow, your written plan, session decisions and later review. The Journal can be used independently of CORE. Public demonstrations use fictional data; pilot access is invitation-only, and public account registration and subscriptions are not open.

Research is intended for investigating market developments and companies; Portfolio Management is in development for overseeing multiple accounts and supported customer-owned strategies, initially through monitoring and analysis.

HESTOL and CORE6 questions
CORE is the intelligence foundation behind HESTOL, intended to offer a second perspective using a trader’s written plan, recorded observations and available context. Public examples distinguish observations, interpretations, confirmation or invalidation rules and missing information. They are scripted, not live AI, trading signals or guarantees.
Explore this topicPublic Journal, Trading Desk and Research demonstrations and the Portfolio Management preview use fictional data and scripted examples. The waitlist is open, while application pilot access is invitation-only and public registration and subscriptions are not open. Live AI, source retrieval, company research, syncing and portfolio integrations remain planned or unverified; samples are not proof of availability.
Explore this topicCommand Center is the personal arrival briefing: CORE introduction, HESTOL conversation, account snapshot, market context, and items needing attention. Trading Desk is the four-panel active-session workspace for news, notes, market report and conversation, and the execution plan.
Explore this topicNo order placement is available in the public demonstrations. CORE examples provide a second perspective on recorded context; they do not execute, modify or cancel broker orders. Planned controls are not verified customer capabilities.

Public demonstrations establish no live connections, and HESTOL does not advertise broker order placement as available.

Research and Portfolio Management4 questions
Public Research examples organize evidence, interpretation and unknowns using fictional or scripted material. They illustrate a proposed workflow, not live source retrieval or verified company-research availability. The demonstration stays open without signing up; the Research workspace is intended for the proposed Command plan and inherited by Elite.
Explore this topicCompany research and live source retrieval are planned or unverified. The Northstar Systems example is a fictional company with explicitly fictional dated excerpts, not evidence about a real business. If released, Research is intended for the proposed Command plan and inherited by Elite; no licensed publisher coverage or live data service is available.
Explore this topicPortfolio Management is in development. Its public preview uses simulated accounts, strategies and risk allocations; it does not verify live consolidated positions, account connections or customer monitoring.
Explore this topicConnect and monitor your own supported trading strategies. HESTOL does not provide access to proprietary Lorthen trading bots.
