Methodology / Step-by-Step Framework

Part 1: Define the “Trading Brain”

Build two components:

1. Learning set Curated data such as:

   • Option strategy knowledge
   • Candlestick pattern references

2. Self-learning journey The system learns the user’s:

   • Trader style
   • Risk appetite
   • Preferred trade types

Part 2: Set Up the System

Key setup steps include:

1. Create a personal Obsidian vault (memory store)

   • Example vault name: “July 21 learning vault”

2. Connect Claude to the Obsidian vault folder

   • Use the Claude Code tool to connect Claude to the Obsidian vault directory.

3. Provide structured instructions to Claude

   • Use content via “LLM Wiki” to help Claude:
     • Set up working directories
     • Create links between Obsidian notes
     • Generate a documentation/memory structure

4. Memory injection process

   • Upload/read multiple local sources, such as:
     • PDFs/books
     • Zerodha Varsity content
     • Strategy/transcript materials
   • Instruct Claude to:
     • Convert/read them
     • Save them as linked Markdown (MD) files in the Obsidian vault

5. Verify structure and troubleshoot if needed

   • Check in Obsidian that:
     • The file structure is correct
     • Links are not broken
   • If links break, ask Claude to troubleshoot.

Part 3: Use It to Improve Trading Over Time

• Personalize through ongoing conversations where Claude asks about:
  • Background
  • Market style
  • Track record/capital
  • Process and psychology
  • Goals
• Use prompts for:
  • Learning new concepts tailored to the user
  • Trade journaling (daily continuous log)
  • Pre-trade validation (check whether a prospective trade matches the user’s rules)

Key Prompts / Operational Recommendations

Trade Journaling Prompt (Daily Required Fields)

The journaling prompt includes explicit daily fields to log:

• Instrument traded
• Entry price
• Quantity
• Risk-to-reward ratio
• How the entry was taken
• Current position status

Implementation notes:

• Create or append to a dedicated dated trading Markdown file
• If required info is missing, ask questions first
• Never skip a day (also log “if I did not trade”)

Trade Confirmation Workflow

• Before entering a trade, ask the trading brain to validate the trade against the system/rules.

Performance Reporting

• Request review reports after:
  • A week
  • A month
  • A year
• Reports are meant to:
  • Review mistakes
  • Identify gaps
  • Learn from outcomes

---

Key Numbers / Performance Metrics Mentioned

• No specific market price/yield/multiple numbers were given.
• Timeframes referenced for evaluation/reporting:
  • Over the next few months (for personalization/learning benefit)
  • After a week / a month / a year (for reporting)
