"risk_tolerance": "moderate",
"preferred_trading_start": "09:00",
"preferred_trading_end": "17:00",
"daily_target": 500,
"max_loss": 250
}
```
### 2. Create Daily Routine
```
POST /api/daily-helper/routines
{

"enabled": true
}
```
### 3. Create Habits

}
```

## โ ๏ธ Known Limitations & Future Work
### Current Limitations
1. Single-user implementation (multi-user ready but not fully implemented)
2. Email/SMS services not yet connected (stubs in place)
3. Scheduler runs in-memory only (needs database persistence for production)
4. No authentication system yet
### Next Steps (Phase 2+)
1. Connect email service (SendGrid)
2. Implement SMS notifications (Twilio)
3. Add WebSocket for real-time updates
4. Implement user authentication
5. Add database persistence for scheduler
6. Create mobile-specific UI
---
## ๐พ Database Migrations
To apply the new schema to your database:
```bash
# Using Alembic (recommended)
cd backend
alembic revision --autogenerate -m "Add Phase 1 daily helper models"
alembic upgrade head
# Or manually create tables by running:
python -c "from app.db.database import engine, Base; from app.models import models; Base.metadata.create_all(bind=engine)"
```
---
## ๐ Key Design Decisions
1. **Task Registry Pattern** - Easy to add new routine tasks without modifying core code
2. **Async First** - All services support async for better performance
3. **JSON Storage** - Flexible item/task storage for extensibility
4. **Composition Over Inheritance** - Services use composition for better testability
5. **API-First** - Frontend components completely API-driven, can work independently
6. **Type Safety** - Full Pydantic schemas for runtime validation
