    - OHLC candlestick charts per commodity, with timeframe switching across 1m / 5m / 30m / 1h / 5h, volume bars, pan and zoom.
    - Six-bot trader population providing order flow: whale, momentum, mean-reversion, fundamental, noise, and insider archetypes.

    - Hard price band (0.40x to 4.00x of fair value) preventing runaway moves.
