# Trading Curriculum — Overview

|
|
|
## The Model
|
|
|
|
Bill and Colette operate as a two-person trading team with distinct roles:
|
|
|
|
| Role | Person | Approach |
|
|
|------|--------|----------|
|
|
| Quant / Engineer | Bill | ML models, scripts, backtesting, automation, signal validation |
|
|
| Market Observer | Colette | News, macro indicators, sector themes, trade idea generation |
|
|
|
|
**Workflow:** Colette spots opportunities (news catalyst, macro shift, chart pattern) → flags to Bill → Bill validates with data → team decides → Bill executes or automates
|
|
|
|
This mirrors how small prop desks actually work. Neither role is more important — a great model with no ideas is useless, and good ideas with no discipline lose money.
