# News Terminal

The Signal Feed Terminal is Y2's real-time intelligence monitoring system, providing live news signals and AI-generated recaps across multiple topics.

### Overview

The News Terminal transforms raw signal data from Gloria AI into actionable intelligence, offering two distinct modes:

* **Live Feed Mode**: Real-time signal stream with instant updates
* **AI Recap Mode**: Synthesized intelligence summaries over configurable timeframes

Unlike traditional RSS readers or news aggregators, the Signal Feed uses AI-powered analysis to filter noise and surface meaningful signals across crypto, AI, macro, and technology topics.

### Key Features

#### Multi-Topic Monitoring

Track 15 specialized intelligence feeds simultaneously:

* **Crypto**: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Ripple, Aptos, Hyperliquid
* **AI/Tech**: AI Agents, Machine Learning, Tech Industry
* **Finance**: Macro Economics, Real World Assets (RWA), Ondo Finance
* **Emerging**: Virtuals Protocol

#### Dual-Mode Intelligence

**Live Feed Mode**

* Stream of individual signals as they occur
* Sub-minute latency from source to display
* Chronological ordering (newest first)
* Direct from Gloria AI's signal detection engine

**AI Recap Mode**

* Synthesized summaries across multiple timeframes (12h, 24h, 3d, 7d)
* Generated on-demand using LLM analysis
* Topic clustering and pattern detection
* Executive-style intelligence briefs

#### Persistent Preferences

Your feed selections, view mode, and timeframe preferences sync across devices:

* Automatic save on every change
* Instant restoration on page load
* No manual "save settings" required

[Gradient Header]
Bitcoin
12h intelligence recap                   Jan 18, 3:42 PM

[Content Section]

BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT
Bitcoin maintains $47K support with institutional
buying pressure continuing. ETF inflows reached
$230M this week, largest since December.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS
• Price action: $47.2K (+2.1% 24h)
• ETF flows: $230M net inflows across 11 funds
• On-chain: 15K BTC moved off exchanges
• Sentiment: Fear & Greed index at 62 (Greed)

MARKET IMPLICATIONS
Sustained institutional demand suggests strong
support levels. Low exchange reserves indicate
supply crunch potential if momentum continues.

OUTLOOK
Watch $48.5K resistance. Break above likely
triggers momentum trading toward $50K psychological
level. Support at $46K remains strong.
```

**Generating Recaps:**

1. Select feeds you want recaps for
2. Switch to "AI Recap" view mode
3. Choose timeframe (12h, 24h, 3d, 7d)
4. Click "Refresh" to generate
5. Generation takes 10-30 seconds per topic

**Recap Caching:**

* First request generates new recap
* Subsequent requests serve cached version
* Cache expires after 1 hour
* Refresh button always regenerates

### Understanding Signal Quality

#### What Makes a Good Signal?

**High-Quality Signal Example:**

```
[Bitcoin] 15m ago
"MicroStrategy purchases additional 2,500 BTC for
$117.5M at average price of $47K. Total holdings
now exceed 190,000 BTC. Announcement via 8-K filing."

✓ Specific (exact numbers)
✓ Verifiable (SEC filing reference)
✓ Timely (15 minutes old)
✓ Material (market-moving size)
✓ Actionable (price impact likely)
```

**Low-Quality Signal (Filtered Out):**

```
[Bitcoin] 2h ago
"Someone thinks Bitcoin might go up or down.
Popular trader shares vague opinion on social media."

✗ Vague (no specifics)
✗ Unverifiable (anonymous source)
✗ Not material (opinion, not fact)
✗ Not actionable (no clear implication)
```

#### Signal vs Noise

Gloria AI's filtering removes:

* Duplicate reports of same event
* Unverified rumors and speculation
* Low-engagement social media posts
* Sponsored content and advertisements
* Historical news (>7 days old unless significant)

This filtering means **fewer signals, higher quality**—you see 50 meaningful signals instead of 500 irrelevant posts.

### Advanced Usage Patterns

#### Cross-Topic Correlation

Monitor related feeds to spot patterns:

**Crypto Correlation**

```
Feeds: Bitcoin + Ethereum + Solana
Pattern: When BTC dominance drops, alt-L1s (ETH, SOL) often rally
Use case: Rotation detection, portfolio rebalancing
```

**AI/Crypto Convergence**

```
Feeds: AI Agents + Virtuals + AI
Pattern: AI protocol tokens react to AI research breakthroughs
Use case: Narrative trading, technology adoption
```

**Macro/Crypto Relationship**

```
Feeds: Macro + Bitcoin + Ethereum
Pattern: DXY strength often inversely correlates with crypto
Use case: Risk-on/risk-off positioning
```

#### Event-Driven Monitoring

**Breaking News Response:**

1. Select relevant feed (e.g., Bitcoin)
2. Switch to Live Feed mode
3. Refresh every 2-5 minutes
4. Watch for signal clusters (multiple signals on same event)

  Layer 0: Broad scan (10 sources on Aptos RWA)
  Layer 1: Deep dives into:
    • Technical implementation details
    • Banking partner background
    • Regulatory implications
    • Competitive landscape

Result: 12,000-word comprehensive analysis
```

**Step 4: Monitor Developments (Signal Feed)**

```
Add "Aptos" feed to terminal
Track ongoing developments
Generate 7d recaps weekly
Update research if material changes occur
```

### Performance & Reliability

#### Response Times

**Live Feed Refresh:**

* API request: 1-2 seconds
* Data processing: <1 second
* UI rendering: <500ms
* Total: 2-4 seconds for 50 signals

**AI Recap Generation:**

* Signal aggregation: 1-2 seconds
* LLM analysis: 8-20 seconds (depends on signal count)
* Formatting: <1 second
* Total: 10-30 seconds per topic

**Parallel Recap Generation:**

```
1 topic:  ~15 seconds
3 topics: ~20 seconds (parallel processing)
5 topics: ~30 seconds
10 topics: ~45 seconds
```

#### Data Freshness

**Signal Latency:**

```
Event occurs (e.g., tweet, news article)
        ↓ 10-30 seconds
Gloria AI detects signal
        ↓ 5-15 seconds
Signal available via API
        ↓ Manual refresh
Displayed in Y2 terminal
```

Total latency: 15-60 seconds from event to display (when refreshing actively)

**Refresh Recommendations:**

* Breaking news: Every 2-5 minutes
* Active monitoring: Every 15-30 minutes
* Passive monitoring: Every 1-2 hours
* Background awareness: 2-3 times per day

#### Rate Limits & Quotas

**API Limits:**

* 50 signals per feed per request
* Unlimited refreshes (no rate limit on Y2 side)
* Gloria AI may throttle excessive requests (>1 req/second)

**Best Practice:**

* Don't refresh more than once per minute
* Use AI Recap mode for historical signals
* Live Feed mode for real-time only

### Troubleshooting

#### No Signals Appearing

**Problem:** Terminal shows "No signals detected"

**Solutions:**

1. **Check feed selection**: At least one feed must be selected
2. **Verify API connectivity**: Gloria AI endpoint may be down
3. **Expand timeframe**: Some feeds have low activity
4. **Try different feeds**: Start with high-volume feeds (Bitcoin, AI)

#### Recaps Not Generating

**Problem:** "Generating AI recaps..." spins indefinitely

**Solutions:**

1. **Check feed selection**: No feeds selected = no recaps
2. **Verify timeframe**: Try 24h first (most reliable)
3. **Reduce feed count**: Generate 1-2 recaps first, then scale
4. **Check quota**: LLM API limits may be reached

#### Preferences Not Saving

**Problem:** Feed selections reset on page reload

**Solutions:**

1. **Wait for save**: Changes save after 1-2 second delay
2. **Check authentication**: Preferences require logged-in user
3. **Clear cache**: Browser cache may be stale
4. **Check console**: Database write errors may appear

#### Slow Performance

**Problem:** Terminal feels sluggish or unresponsive

**Solutions:**

1. **Reduce selected feeds**: 10+ feeds = more data to process
2. **Use AI Recap mode**: Fewer DOM elements than Live Feed
3. **Limit Live Feed history**: Only shows 50 most recent
4. **Clear browser cache**: Accumulated data may slow down

### Mobile Experience

#### Responsive Design

The Signal Feed Terminal is fully optimized for mobile:

**Feed Selection:**

* Horizontally scrollable feed pills
* Larger touch targets (44px minimum)
