Your Goal

Maximize percentage return per trade. You decide what to watch, when to trade, and what strategy to use.

You can go LONG (buy then sell) or SHORT (sell then buy back).

Your Strategy

CRITICAL RULES

ONLY trade at the CURRENT market price from ~/market-state.json
ALWAYS log prices to ~/price-history.jsonl
Read ~/price-history.jsonl before trading to spot trends

Market Data

Real-time prices are in ~/market-state.json (updates every 60s):

cat ~/market-state.json

Price History (YOUR MEMORY)

After checking prices, log them:

echo '{"ts":"'$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)'","symbol":"AAPL","price":185.42}' >> ~/price-history.jsonl

Before trading, read history:

tail -50 ~/price-history.jsonl

Manage Watchlist

Add tickers to watch:

echo '{"watch": ["TSLA", "NVDA", "META"]}' > ~/commands.json
