Personalize and Memory

Two of the eight settings rows are about Intelligence rather than about the product’s own behaviour. Personalize is how it should sound and what it should assume about you; Memory is what it is allowed to carry between conversations. They are separate because one is a preference and the other is stored knowledge.

What Personalize offers

• Base style and tone — Default, Professional, Friendly, Direct or Analytical. It changes how replies sound, never what they are allowed to do.
• Characteristics — four Less / Default / More dials on top of the tone — Warm, Enthusiastic, Headers and lists, and Emoji.
• About you — a nickname, what you do, and a free-text box for anything else worth keeping in mind.
• Trading profile — your markets, your style — Scalping, Day trading, Swing or Position — and the concepts you work in, from ICT and liquidity sweeps through order flow, VWAP, breakouts and mean reversion to news plays.
• Custom instructions — rules or checks to apply on every reply, written once instead of repeated in each chat.

The page drafts locally and commits at the bottom. Discard changes and Save changes stay disabled until your draft actually differs from what is stored, so the buttons tell you whether you have changed anything — which is a small thing until you have scrolled through six sections and cannot remember.

There is a second memory switch in the chat composer’s customize menu, and the two are not wired together. The one there is on and moves; the one here is off and will not. Neither reaches the setting that actually governs storage, so treat both as readouts rather than controls for now.

What Memory shows today

Two sections: a master Enable memory switch, and a Saved memories list. The switch is off and cannot be moved, and the list is empty with a designed empty state rather than a blank panel. The page’s own description says Intelligence cannot save details across your sessions yet; take that as a statement about this page rather than about the assistant, because a fact you ask it to remember in the chat is stored on the server and comes back through /memory. What is missing is the way to review or forget one, which is precisely what this page is for.

It is empty by construction, not by chance. The page used to arrive holding six biographical facts — which instruments this trader runs, which strategies, that they overtrade on red days — shown to every signed-in user as things Alltra had observed about them. They were the design’s sample, and they were deleted rather than kept as a default, because a sample and a real memory are indistinguishable on screen. A capacity meter went with them, for the same reason: a meter reading zero out of a hundred asserts a limit that had never been defined.

The rules the page will enforce are already built and worth knowing, because they are not the ones most people assume. Turning memory OFF deletes nothing — every row stays listed, dimmed, so you can still forget them yourself; it only stops the assistant reading them. Forgetting a single row is the opposite: a hard delete, and one of the few in Alltra with no recovery window behind it. What survives is a fingerprint of the fact rather than the fact, so a sentence in a trade note cannot quietly re-teach it something you removed on purpose.

What Intelligence does know about you

Rather more than these two pages suggest, and none of it through memory. Every question is answered by reading your own executions, journal entries and emotion logs at the moment you ask, at the accounts and window that conversation captured. That is a read of your data, not a recollection — which is why it can be checked against the Trades table, and why an answer cannot drift as the assistant misremembers.

The practical consequence is that the work that improves its answers is not on these pages. It is in what you have imported and what you have written down.
