Next Steps for Remaining UI Components

See docs/UI_IMPROVEMENTS_SUMMARY.md for detailed implementation guidance for:

1. Dashboard widgets
2. Advanced orders UI
3. Trade journal page
4. ML transparency widget
5. Chart drawing tools
6. Mobile touch optimization

Testing Recommendations

1. VaR Calculation: Test with different confidence levels and holding periods
2. Monte Carlo: Verify statistical distributions
3. Online Learning: Test incremental updates with synthetic data
4. Regime Detection: Validate HMM/GMM classifications
5. Execution Algorithms: Test TWAP/VWAP with various conditions
6. Chart Indicators: Verify indicator overlay rendering

Performance Considerations

• Monte Carlo simulations: CPU-intensive (consider background processing)
• SHAP calculations: May be slow for large models (consider caching)
• Online learning: Batched updates for efficiency
• VaR calculations: Efficient numpy operations
