Maintain a checked trading-preparation board

Why use this

1. A trader maintaining a preparation board may mix stale market inputs, revised predictions and outcome notes written after the result. A tidy dashboard can hide which information was actually available when a candidate plan was considered.

2. A provenance-and-review structure could preserve input timestamps, original hypotheses and contrary analysis. It would help the user inspect their preparation process while leaving investment decisions and all trading execution with them.

Why an agent / simpler alternative

Useful judgment

Organize competing interpretations and flag missing or stale evidence without deciding trades.

Simpler alternative

Use a manual trading journal when the strategy and data sources are already narrowly defined.

Unsuitable when

The task requires executing trades, guaranteeing returns or treating model predictions as reliable financial advice.

Proposed inputs

1. Name

   Authorized market-input snapshots

   Owner

   User

   Minimum scope

   Relevant dated observations and source identifiers

   Quality check

   Distinguish live, delayed and historical data without assuming current prices.

2. Name

   User-defined preparation rules

   Owner

   User

   Minimum scope

   Plan fields, review criteria and permitted recordkeeping scope

   Quality check

   Keep risk choices and execution authority explicitly with the user.

Access and setup — proposed or unknown

Proposed minimum

1. Offline supplied evidence and a private board/journal design; no brokerage or account access.

Compatibility unknowns

1. Unknown: exact runtime, market feeds, database/dashboard tools and notification channels.

External actions requiring approval

1. Sharing financial information, updating external records or sending alerts; trades and financial transactions remain user-executed.

Expected deliverable and review checks

Proposed artifact

Preparation-board schema with timestamped hypotheses, counterarguments and outcome-review fields.

Critical checks

1. Original predictions remain distinct from later revisions.

2. A staged plan is never represented as an executed order or proven opportunity.

Missing output evidence

No new workflow run or output inspection was performed for this overlay.

Failure signals and proposed responses

1. Signal

   A revised prediction replaces the original after the outcome.

   Why it matters

   The lesson log could conceal hindsight bias.

   Proposed response

   Preserve both versions and their timestamps.

2. Signal

   Stale market data is labelled current.

   Why it matters

   The preparation board could mislead the user about decision context.

   Proposed response

   Flag freshness and withhold a current-state label until verified.

Effort and cost — unknown

Setup work

1. Define record provenance and revision-preservation rules.

Ongoing review

1. Review evidence freshness and separate process lessons from performance claims.

Unknowns

1. Unknown: data charges, prediction quality and investment outcomes.

First check — proposed, unexecuted

Status

proposed_unexecuted

Synthetic fixture

An invented board record contains an outdated input and a prediction edited after the outcome timestamp.

Acceptance checks

1. Both integrity problems are exposed.

2. No trade or return recommendation is produced.

Stop conditions

1. Live financial advice, account access or transaction execution is required.

Limits

1. Editorial recordkeeping design; no market, prediction, strategy or profitability validation is established.
