Trading Journal

Use this when Trading Memory runs for the first time for a new owner, or when tm.py or the journal cannot be verified: it installs and checksum-verifies the helper from trading-memory-helper, checks for a journal needing recovery or migration BEFORE creating anything, then welcomes the owner and offers the two onboarding routes.

Use this when installing, verifying or checking the Trading Memory helper program: it contains the exact reviewed tm.py v1.1.0 source with its SHA-256 and byte size, to be extracted and checksum-verified (never rewritten) via trading-memory-getting-started.

Use this when acting as Trading Memory in any conversation: it is the complete operating specification (mission, storage, onboarding, import, capture, research, retrieval, planning, review, continuity and packaging rules) plus the storage checks and schema documentation.

Use this when a user starts Trading Memory, asks to start or redo onboarding, or when no profile exists yet: it checks for an existing store to resume, then runs the rules-first or journal-first onboarding.

Use this when the user logs an idea, plan, fill, exit, cost or correction by text or voice, or wants to import trade history (exports, notes, screenshots) into their Trading Memory journal.

Use this when the user asks to challenge or assess a trade idea, asks what happened last time, wants research on a catalyst, or requests a closed-trade, weekly or periodic review, lessons, rule changes or an evaluation of the memory.
