Hey guys, I just want to drop in here to share some screenshots of the first newsletter that I built. I designed the style and the fonts based on what I really like to read and what was eye-catching for me. The charts, unfortunately, I wasn't able to get access to my Gemini image creator so I end up using matplotlib. However that's only going to create that same chart that you see on the screenshot. Eventually once I fix my Gemini image creation tool, really just fix my billing, I should be good to go. The newsletter would have generating images and it would be much more functional. Anyways I just want to drop this for my day 1 challenge. I appreciate anyone that stops and takes a look at it and if you have any comments or anything you want to add of value, I would definitely appreciate that as well. Best of luck, keep building, and let's get this money people!

I am super delayed on this post. I'm making this today because I finally got my skill library together and now I'm ready to move on to day four but before I do I want to share a couple of things with the community and show you what I created. Skill 1: /morning-prep Pulls pre-market gappers (≥10% gap, price >$1) from Finviz Elite every morning at 8 AM before the market opens. Enriches each ticker with float, short float %, ATR(14), and relative volume — all from Finviz, no yfinance. Checks SEC EDGAR for dilution filings in the last 30 days (S-3, S-1, 424B). Grabs the top 3 news headlines per ticker. Then sends me a ranked HTML leaderboard email with two sections: - Priority Watchlist — long setups scored on catalyst, gap %, RVOL, and ATR - Short Watch — dilution tickers flagged in red, sorted by gap size (biggest gap = best short candidate) I type /morning-prep and it either sets up the scheduler or fires it on demand. Runs every weekday automatically via Windows Task Scheduler, wakes the machine if needed. Skill 2: /gapper-tracker This one's building a statistical database to prove or disprove the Day 2 short edge — the idea that 67.7%(small sample)*not investment advice* of gap-up stocks close lower on Day 2 than Day 1. Every afternoon at 4:30 PM it logs intraday data from that day's gappers into a CSV with 30+ columns: open, high, low, close, gap fill %, range %, time of HOD, catalyst, pre-market VWAP, the works. The tricky part was multi-day staging. A ticker that gapped today needs Day 2 close filled tomorrow, and Day 3 close the day after — without creating duplicate rows. Built a JSON staging file to track which tickers are waiting on which day's data. When D3 is filled it writes the final row and removes it from staging. One optimization I made: On the morning-prep script, I was originally making individual API calls per ticker to pull enrichment data. Watched the agent work and saw it hitting rate limits constantly. Switched to Finviz batch calls — two requests cover all 15 tickers at once (one for ownership data, one for technicals). Went from 15+ calls and timeouts to 2 clean calls. That one change made the whole thing reliable.

Hey everyone, I'm on day three trying to build my skills but I'm looking for the skills builder boulder and I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know where it's at or has anyone had any trouble with this as well? Looks like at the time Nate recorded his video, versus now, he has changed things up a little bit so just need some help navigating.

Is there anyone doing the 7-day challenge specifically in the chat? I just clicked on "Download the Skill Builder files from this community" and then when I clicked it, it says 404 error.

Guys, it’s been 12 days since I got back to the dealership and dove into the CRM for Q1. I found out our speed-to-lead is insanely bad—we’re losing almost all the shared leads Acura sends out because we just aren't fast enough. By the time we respond, customers are already finalizing deals elsewhere. To fix this, I built a speed-to-lead tool that attaches natively to our CRM via API. I showed the MVP to my GM yesterday, and he’s actually considering showing it to the owner, which is a huge win. I’m even heading out to form my LLC today to get everything officially established. I also wanted to share how much value I’m getting from this group. Nate, your videos have been a massive help. Even if I don't need a specific workflow, I’ve been following along side-by-side just to get the reps in. It’s given me the confidence to navigate the technical side myself—I’m even using the CLI for Claude Code now, something I never thought I’d be doing. Shout out to this community and shout out to Nate. Keep grinding, keep working hard, and don’t stop chasing it!
