What voice commands work everywhere?

Around twenty-five, grouped below by what they do — filling in a form, starting a routine, going to a page, asking what is available, repeating yourself, and correcting what voice just did. Anything that is not a command becomes dictation into whatever field you have focused.

Speech is checked against the command list before it is treated as text, so you never have to prefix a command with anything. If nothing matches, what you said is typed.

Filling in whatever is in front of you. Save commits the form — it also answers to saved, submit, save it, save this, save the trade, save now, log it, log this, log the trade, enter, done, go, commit and record. Next moves to the following field (next field, tab, continue, advance, go on, keep going, move on), back to the previous one, skip passes over it, clear empties it (delete that, erase, reset), and cancel closes what is open (close, escape, never mind, dismiss).

Starting something. New trade opens or logs a trade — see the dictation guide below. Start debrief, pre-market prep, AM mental, PM mental, physical readiness and end of day each open that routine from anywhere. Answer it opens whatever reminder is currently on screen (fill it out, do it, open it).

Going somewhere. Go to — or just the bare name — for dashboard, journal, playbook, analytics, calendar, coach and settings. Open, show and take me to work as well as go to. Show report card, show prep and show notes open those parts of today's debrief.

Asking what is available. What can I say — also help, commands, voice help — reads back the commands for the page you are on plus the global ones, aloud and as a toast.

Repeating yourself. Do that again re-fires the last command without your having to remember the phrase. Repeat, replay, again and once more do the same.

None of these need a field focused. TradePerformance can be sitting on a second monitor with ATAS holding focus and the commands still land. "New trade …" is the one built for that case: it answers to new, log, add, record or enter followed by trade, so "log trade short NQ 19563, three contracts" works as well as "new trade …".

The exception runs the other way. Inside a long-form writing box — a trade note, the "what I'd do differently" field — most commands stand down so that a sentence you are composing is not mistaken for an instruction. Short fields are unaffected.

Correcting what just happened.

"Undo" takes back the last value voice wrote into a field. It also answers to undo that, revert and take it back, and unlike the short rejection below it has no time limit. Two things bound it: it remembers one change, not a history, and the field has to still be on screen — navigate away and there is nothing left to restore. It does not undo a dictated trade — see "What happens after I dictate a trade — can I review before saving?".

A short rejectionno, nope, wrong, wrong one, that's wrong, redo, do over, scratch that, not that, never mind that or cancel that — undoes the last value too, but only within about two and a half seconds of it landing. The window is deliberate: outside it, "no" is far more likely to be a word you are dictating than a command, so it gets typed instead.

Everything else is dictation. With a field focused, what you say goes into that field.
