📋 Next Steps

Priority 1: Fix Navigation Errors (30 minutes)

  1. Move existing files to correct locations:
  2. feeds.mdcore_concepts/feeds.md
  3. gui.mdadvanced/web_api.md
  4. testing.mdadvanced/testing.md

  5. Create minimal placeholder files for missing navigation items

Priority 2: Essential Content (2 hours)

  1. getting_started/configuration.md - Critical for setup
  2. getting_started/first_strategy.md - Step-by-step tutorial
  3. core_concepts/brokers.md - Explain live/back/paper modes
  4. examples/basic_strategy.md - Runnable example with explanation

Priority 3: Advanced Topics (4 hours)

  1. Complete API reference with auto-generation
  2. Advanced topics (live trading, monitoring)
  3. More comprehensive examples
  4. Cross-references between sections

🎯 Key Achievements

  1. Performance transparency: Comprehensive benchmarking and optimization documentation
  2. Caching discovery: Documented the existing HistoricalDataCache system (major value add)
  3. Internal tone: Removed marketing language, focused on practical information
  4. Structured navigation: Clear hierarchy from basic to advanced topics
  5. Working build: Documentation compiles successfully

💡 Unique Value Props Documented

  1. Performance benchmarking: bench.py tool with detailed profiling
  2. Historical data caching: 90-99% performance improvement for backtesting
  3. Large dataset handling: 5M+ candle strategies with memory management
  4. Production monitoring: Health checks and structured logging
  5. Multi-exchange architecture: 400+ exchanges with unified API

Current State

  • Navigation structure: ✅ Complete and logical
  • Key content: ✅ Performance section fully documented
  • Build system: ✅ Working MkDocs setup
  • Tone: ✅ Internal-focused, no marketing fluff
  • Missing files: ⚠️ 18 placeholder files needed
  • Cross-references: ⚠️ Many broken links need fixing
