Bill b3debc125f docs: restructure documentation for improved clarity and navigation
Reorganize documentation into user-focused, developer-focused, and deployment-focused sections.

**New structure:**
- Root: README.md (streamlined), QUICK_START.md, API_REFERENCE.md
- docs/user-guide/: configuration, API usage, integrations, troubleshooting
- docs/developer/: contributing, development setup, testing, architecture
- docs/deployment/: Docker deployment, production checklist, monitoring
- docs/reference/: environment variables, MCP tools, data formats

**Changes:**
- Streamline README.md from 831 to 469 lines
- Create QUICK_START.md for 5-minute onboarding
- Create API_REFERENCE.md as single source of truth for API
- Remove 9 outdated specification docs (v0.2.0 API design)
- Remove DOCKER_API.md (content consolidated into new structure)
- Remove docs/plans/ directory with old design documents
- Update CLAUDE.md with documentation structure guide
- Remove orchestration-specific references

**Benefits:**
- Clear entry points for different audiences
- No content duplication
- Better discoverability through logical hierarchy
- All content reflects current v0.3.0 API

AI-Trader Roadmap

This document outlines planned features and improvements for the AI-Trader project.

Release Planning

v0.4.0 - Enhanced Simulation Management (Planned)

Focus: Improved simulation control, resume capabilities, and performance analysis

Simulation Resume & Continuation

  • Resume from Last Completed Date - API to continue simulations without re-running completed dates
    • POST /simulate/resume - Resume last incomplete job or start from last completed date
    • POST /simulate/continue - Extend existing simulation with new date range
    • Query parameters to specify which model(s) to continue
    • Automatic detection of last completed date per model
    • Validation to prevent overlapping simulations
    • Support for extending date ranges forward in time
    • Use cases:
      • Daily simulation updates (add today's date to existing run)
      • Recovering from failed jobs (resume from interruption point)
      • Incremental backtesting (extend historical analysis)

Position History & Analysis

  • Position History Tracking - Track position changes over time
    • Query endpoint: GET /positions/history?model=<name>&start_date=<date>&end_date=<date>
    • Timeline view of all trades and position changes
    • Calculate holding periods and turnover rates
    • Support for position snapshots at specific dates

Performance Metrics

  • Advanced Performance Analytics - Calculate standard trading metrics
    • Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, maximum drawdown
    • Win rate, average win/loss, profit factor
    • Volatility and beta calculations
    • Risk-adjusted returns
    • Comparison across models

Data Management

  • Price Data Management API - Endpoints for price data operations
    • GET /data/coverage - Check date ranges available per symbol
    • POST /data/download - Trigger manual price data downloads
    • GET /data/status - Check download progress and rate limits
    • DELETE /data/range - Remove price data for specific date ranges

Web UI

  • Dashboard Interface - Web-based monitoring and control interface
    • Job management dashboard
      • View active, pending, and completed jobs
      • Start new simulations with form-based configuration
      • Monitor job progress in real-time
      • Cancel running jobs
    • Results visualization
      • Performance charts (P&L over time, cumulative returns)
      • Position history timeline
      • Model comparison views
      • Trade log explorer with filtering
    • Configuration management
      • Model configuration editor
      • Date range selection with calendar picker
      • Price data coverage visualization
    • Technical implementation
      • Modern frontend framework (React, Vue.js, or Svelte)
      • Real-time updates via WebSocket or SSE
      • Responsive design for mobile access
      • Chart library (Plotly.js, Chart.js, or Recharts)
      • Served alongside API (single container deployment)

Development Infrastructure

  • Migration to uv Package Manager - Modern Python package management
    • Replace pip with uv for dependency management
    • Create pyproject.toml with project metadata and dependencies
    • Update Dockerfile to use uv for faster, more reliable builds
    • Update development documentation and workflows
    • Benefits:
      • 10-100x faster dependency resolution and installation
      • Better dependency locking and reproducibility
      • Unified tool for virtual environments and package management
      • Drop-in pip replacement with improved UX

Contributing

We welcome contributions to any of these planned features! Please see CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines.

To propose a new feature:

  1. Open an issue with the feature-request label
  2. Describe the use case and expected behavior
  3. Discuss implementation approach with maintainers
  4. Submit a PR with tests and documentation

Version History

  • v0.1.0 - Initial release with batch execution
  • v0.2.0 - Docker deployment support
  • v0.3.0 - REST API, on-demand downloads, database storage (current)
  • v0.4.0 - Enhanced simulation management (planned)
