  • A new look: one clean typeface, calmer cards, and a soft grey light mode (Dark and Match device are in Settings).
  • Your own plan: on the Plan tab, search any ticker Alpaca trades and put it in a long-term, sector or momentum block, with how much goes in each. Charles's own plan stays the default.
  • Presets: Default plan, 0.5× aggressive and 2× aggressive change only the amounts, never the tickers. Save and name your own.
  • Invested: choose how much of your buying power the plan uses; the rest sits in T-bills.
  • Self-tune has an on/off switch on the Self-Tune tab. While it's on, a change that passed every test of the monthly evaluation can be applied, at most one a quarter, and you can undo it.
  • Live trading for stocks, off by default and locked behind steps: charles-live on asks that you're 18 or older, accept the License Agreement, add your own live Alpaca keys and type LIVE. Crypto and Kalshi stay practice money.
  • The Charles License Agreement: the installer asks you to accept it before installing anything (charles-terms shows it).
  • A plan with your own tickers or money kept aside isn't shared on the leaderboard.
  • Kalshi: every bet must stand to win at least half of what it costs, fees included (at most about 67 cents a contract). Evil Charles now skips the other side of a bet when that side would pay less, and so does your account when it copies him.
  • Kalshi: Charles and Evil Charles place the same bets. Charles bets only where Evil Charles can take the other side and still win at least half his stake.

This release changes how Charles trades (your own plan, self-tune, live mode), so the dashboard asks you to confirm before updating. Settings you changed stay as they are.
