## What This Project Is
|
|
|
|
Bill and his mom Colette are learning to trade together with the goal of passing a prop firm challenge and managing a firm account for income.
|
|
|
|
Bill is a data scientist with ML and cybersecurity/scripting skills.
|
|
Colette is new to trading but actively watches financial news and markets.
|
|
|
|
They operate as a two-person team:
|
|
- **Bill** = quant/engineer — builds models, scripts, backtests, automation
|
|
- **Colette** = market observer — spots macro themes, news catalysts, trade ideas
|
|
|
|
Colette surfaces ideas. Bill validates them with data. They decide together.
|
|

|
## Current State
|
|
|
|
- TradingView installed on Bill's Ubuntu Linux machine (`~/trading/` is the project root)
|
|
- Both tracks are in **Phase 1 / Sprint 01** — nothing has been built yet
|
|
- No prop firm has been chosen yet (decision due end of Sprint 01)
|
|
- No asset class has been decided yet (stocks, futures, or forex)
|

## Key Decisions Already Made
|
|
|
|
- No HFT — target is algorithmic swing/day trading on daily or hourly timeframes
|
|
- Paper trading first, then simulated prop challenge passes, then real challenge
|
|
- Colette's track avoids heavy math — she communicates ideas in a structured format, Bill backtests them
|
|
- Sprint cadence: separate sprints per person, reviewed together
|
|

## What To Do When Helping
|
|
|
|
**For Bill:** He can handle Python, ML, Pine Script, scripting, and data pipelines.
|
|
Jump straight to implementation — he doesn't need concepts explained from scratch.
|
|
Frame suggestions in terms of data quality, edge validation, and risk math.
|
|
|
|
**For Colette:** She reads this repo too. Keep language clear and non-condescending.
|
|
Her intuition about markets and news is an asset, not a liability.
|
|
When she asks questions, connect the answer to something she already understands.

## Next Steps (as of project init)
|
|
|
|
1. Bill: complete Sprint 01 — build `fetch_data.py` data pipeline
|
|
2. Colette: complete Sprint 01 — TradingView chart literacy exercises
|
|
3. Both: decide asset class focus and target prop firm
|
|
4. Bill: set up TradingView alerts → webhook pipeline
|
|
5. First collaborative milestone: Colette flags a setup, Bill backtests it
