01 — Broker adapter
One interface, every broker

Tradovate, Rithmic, MetaApi MT5, cTrader, IBKR — each plugs in as a single class. Rules engine + UI never know which broker is underneath.

02 — YAML rules engine
Customizable by mentor

Daily loss caps, drawdown %, position size, trades-per-window, time-of-day blackouts, consistency rules. Hot-reloadable per mentee.

03 — Buddy lockout
Soft lockout via API

Cancel orders + close positions on rule trip. Hard lockout requires firm partnership — that's the wedge for Lucid, BluSky, MyFundedFutures.
