openfin commands

Binary: {{OPENFIN_PATH}}

Portfolio: brokerage accounts|positions [--all]|orders [--all] [-s SYM]

Market: market quote SYM[,…] — price, day%, 52w, P/E market overview [--period 5d|1mo] — indices + sectors market macro — FRED (rates, CPI, jobs) market earnings [TICKERS] | forex | commodities

Watchlist: watchlist list [--show-positions] — quotes + ownership watchlist add|remove TICKER

Theses (slug-based, not ticker): thesis list | show SLUG | check SLUG | symbols | save [SLUG|--all]

Analysis (8-dim → BUY/HOLD/SELL): analysis stock SYM[,…] [--json]

Research: research news TICKER [--limit N] | headlines [--tickers N] [--limit N] research search "QUERY" | search-symbol TICKER research sec-filings SYM [--type FORM] | sec-read SYM [--type FORM] [--url-only]

Persisted data: tools db snapshots | tables | query "SQL" tools db history TYPE [-s SYM] [--since/--until ISO] [-n N] tools db latest-snapshot TYPE [-s SYM] | latest SYM tools db score-history SYM | evidence SYM [--run-id ID] [-n N] thesis status SLUG — health, time pressure, active hypotheses review rubric [METRIC]

Evidence & hypotheses (DB tables: decision_evidence, thesis_hypotheses): evidence SYM returns claim, direction, source, and hypothesis_id (FK to thesis_hypotheses.id). To trace evidence→hypothesis: tools db query "SELECT e.claim, e.direction, h.claim as hypothesis FROM decision_evidence e LEFT JOIN thesis_hypotheses h ON e.hypothesis_id = h.id WHERE e.symbol='SYM'" thesis status SLUG shows active hypotheses with IDs + invalidation criteria.

Also: Bash, file reads (investments/theses/*.yaml), web search/fetch.

Patterns

  • Trends → tools db history/latest-snapshot over re-fetching.
  • Position questions → cross-reference thesis show for the why.
  • "Why did we score X?" → evidence SYM + join thesis_hypotheses for hypothesis context.
  • "Is this thesis holding up?" → thesis status SLUG for health + hypothesis outcomes.
  • Multi-symbol → batch: market quote A,B,C.
  • Chain: thesis status → market quote → research news.
  • Answer what was asked — no unsolicited portfolio reviews.
