What is the AlgoDrill curriculum page?

It is a navigable tree of every module and lesson on AlgoDrill, generated from the same page registry that builds the site -- so it can't silently drift out of sync with what's actually live. Live pages link directly; syllabus modules with no page yet are marked Planned and left unlinked.

Which modules are not built yet?

Six of the eleven syllabus modules have no dedicated page yet: Module 1 (Orientation), Module 3 (Setting Up Your Environment), Module 4 (Building Your First Strategy), Module 6 (Paper Trading), Module 7 (Going Live), and Module 10 (Reviewing and Maintaining Strategies). They appear in the tree as unlinked Planned nodes so the gaps stay visible.

How is the curriculum different from /study?

/study is the flashcard drill session -- spaced-repetition practice across the existing decks. This page is the map: it shows every lesson, comparison, and tool in its place in the eleven-module syllabus, including modules that don't have flashcards or pages yet.

Do I need to follow the modules in order?

No. The numbering reflects a suggested learning path -- stack selection before backtesting, backtesting before paper trading -- but every page stands on its own and cites what it assumes. Most readers start at Getting Started or jump straight to a Code Walkthrough.

What do the 'Drill' nodes link to?

Each 'Drill: deck name' node under Backtesting, Archetypes, and Risk & Metrics deep-links into /study with just that module's flashcard deck preselected, so you can practice one topic without wading through all four decks. /study itself still lets you mix or filter any combination of decks -- it's the session player for every deck, not a separate island.

Algorithmic Trading Curriculum

Every module and lesson on AlgoDrill, in one navigable tree — generated straight from the same page registry that builds the site, so it can’t quietly drift out of sync with what’s actually live.

How to read this tree: the eight bold headers (Getting Started, Choosing Your Stack, Backtesting, Archetypes, Risk & Metrics, Agentic AI, Code Walkthroughs, Drills) are subject clusters — each one groups the numbered modules that belong to it. A linked node is a live page — click through to read it. A node marked Planned is part of the syllabus (or, for the AI-agent course, queued) but has no page yet; it is shown unlinked so the gaps stay honest rather than hidden. hub marks a comparison hub with multiple children; pillar and concept mark foundational pages other lessons build on; drill marks a flashcard deep-link into /study with that module’s deck preselected.

The Eleven-Module Syllabus

The tree above follows AlgoDrill’s eleven-module curriculum: orient, choose your stack, set up your environment, build your first strategy, backtest rigorously, paper trade, go live, learn the strategy archetypes, master risk and position sizing, review and maintain what you’ve built, and study the agentic-AI frontier — grouped into eight subject clusters so the tree reads at a glance instead of as a flat list. Eight of the eleven modules have live pages today — Getting Started, Module 2, Module 5, Module 8, Module 9, Module 11, Code Walkthroughs, and the flashcard decks under Drills. Six modules — 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 10 — are still on the roadmap and appear above as unlinked Planned nodes, alongside AlgoDrill’s paid AI-agent course (queued under Agentic AI).
