LEGSTECH Optimizer d321ea23ca docs: TODO_NEXT.md — post-hackathon roadmap (PyInstaller + first-run wizard)
Saved as a self-contained prompt + feature list so it can be picked up
in a fresh Claude Code session next weekend without re-explaining
context. Top of the list: one-click .exe installer + first-run wizard
that detects MT5 via Windows registry and walks the user through API
key + EA selection.

What's next — post-hackathon roadmap

Stub list of work to pick up after the Cerebral Valley × Anthropic "Built with Opus 4.7" hackathon (April 26, 2026). When you're ready to resume, paste the prompt below into a fresh Claude Code session and let it run.


🎯 First milestone: one-click installer for forex traders

Turn APEX from "clone + pip install + edit yaml" into a double-click .exe that any MT5 user can run.

Prompt for next session

Draft a PyInstaller spec + first-run wizard for the APEX MT5 Optimizer (https://github.com/tonnylegacy/MT5_Optimizer). Goal: turn the project into a double-click .exe for forex traders.

(1) Create apex.spec that bundles app.py, all submodules, ui/templates, ui/static, demo/, config.example.yaml, and the demo .set file. Use --onefile, set the icon, exclude tests + screenshots. Verify pyinstaller apex.spec produces a working binary that launches the Flask server and opens localhost:5000 in a browser.

(2) Add a first-run wizard at /first_run that fires when config.yaml is missing or anthropic_api_key is empty: walks the user through MT5 path detection (read Windows registry HKLM\SOFTWARE\MetaQuotes Software Corp.), API key paste, EA selection (use the existing /api/ea/scan), then writes config.yaml and redirects to /dashboard.

(3) Open a PR titled "feat: one-click installer + first-run wizard".


🧠 Bigger features — what forex traders would actually pay for

Priority order, ship incrementally:

  1. Multi-symbol robustness — same params validated on EURUSD + GBPUSD

    • XAUUSD in parallel; verdict fails anything that only works on one. Adds a "Cross-symbol" badge to the verdict card.
  2. Walk-forward windows — instead of one OOS test, slide a 6-month train / 1-month test window forward 12× and score on consistency. Replaces the current single-OOS Phase 3 with a more robust validation.

  3. Live capital protection — once an EA is deployed, nightly re-validation cron checks if the current market regime still matches the optimization window. Ping the user (Discord webhook already wired) when drift is detected.

  4. Setlist provenance marketplace — verified .set files with their full AI evolution path attached as proof of how they were derived. Buyers see the reasoning, not a black box. (Opus 4.7's role in this becomes the trust layer.)


🏗️ Hosted SaaS tier

Out of scope for solo build, but the shape:

  • Sandbox each user with a Windows VM running MT5
  • Queue optimization jobs, stream the same dashboard back over WebSocket
  • Per-tenant config.yaml + API key vault
  • Stripe metering on backtests + AI calls

Real product, not a weekend hack. Park until usage validates the demand.
