trading from zero roadmap

The problem

Beginner traders often drown in conflicting information, leading to premature live trading and avoidable capital loss. They lack a structured progression that enforces risk management and discipline before risking real money.

What it does

• Generates a phased curriculum from market terminology to live trading readiness.
• Enforces "readiness gates" with specific exit criteria like journaling 20 demo trades or passing risk calculations.
• Constructs a progress-tracking table that monitors tasks, completion status, and next steps.
• Provides templates for trade journaling, risk-reward analysis, and personal trading plans.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Generic prompts often give you a list of topics without a pedagogical sequence or accountability. This skill acts as a mentor that refuses to let you advance until you prove competency in risk management and disciplined execution through data-backed exit criteria.

Use cases

• Onboard absolute beginners to market fundamentals without information overload.
• Structure a disciplined transition from demo trading to small live accounts.
• Audit a struggling trader's foundation to identify missing technical or psychological gaps.

Known limitations

This skill provides a roadmap and curriculum but does not provide financial advice, specific stock picks, or real-time market data feeds.
