from fiml.agents import deep_equity_analysis

async def lesson_with_live_data(symbol: str):
    """Teach concepts using current market conditions"""

    # Get real-time snapshot via FIML
    data = await search_by_symbol(
        symbol=symbol,
        market="US",
        depth="standard"
    )

    # Generate educational narrative
    analysis = await deep_equity_analysis(
        symbol=symbol,
        include_narrative=True,
        include_recommendation=False  # Educational only
    )

    return {
        "current_price": data.price,
        "educational_context": analysis.narrative,
        "volatility_lesson": generate_volatility_lesson(data),

3. AI Mentor System via MCP

FIML's MCP Integration:

from fiml.mcp import MCPServer
from fiml.agents.narrative import NarrativeGenerator

class EducationalMentor:
    """AI mentor powered by FIML's narrative engine"""

    def __init__(self, persona: str):
        self.persona = persona  # Maya, Theo, or Zara
        self.narrative_gen = NarrativeGenerator()
        self.compliance_filter = ComplianceFilter()

    async def respond_to_question(self, question: str, context: dict):
        """Generate educational response with market context"""

        # Get relevant market data via FIML
        market_context = await self.get_market_context(context)

        # Generate narrative with compliance filtering
        response = await self.narrative_gen.generate(
            prompt=self.build_educational_prompt(question),
            market_data=market_context,
            persona=self.persona
        )

        # Apply safety filter
        safe_response = self.compliance_filter.apply(response)

        # Add mandatory disclaimer
        return f"{safe_response}\n\n⚠️ Educational purposes only — not investment advice."

Mentor Personas:

Character:

  • Calm, explanatory, patient
  • Uses real market examples via FIML
  • Focuses on fundamentals

Example Interaction:

Student: "Why is AAPL moving so much today?"

Maya: "Great observation! Let me show you what's happening:

[Real-time FIML data: AAPL +3.2%, volume 2.3x average]

AAPL is experiencing higher-than-normal volatility today. This often 
happens around earnings announcements or major product launches. 
Notice how the volume is 2.3x the average? That tells us there's 
significant market interest.

Let's explore what moves stock prices in Lesson 3.2: 'Catalysts and 
Volume Analysis.'

⚠️ Educational purposes only — not investment advice."

Character:

  • Data-oriented, analytical
  • Leverages FIML's technical indicators
  • Risk-averse perspective

Example Interaction:

Student: "What do these lines on the chart mean?"

Theo: "Excellent question. Let's analyze the technical setup:

[FIML Technical Analysis: RSI=67, MACD positive crossover]

You're looking at moving averages. The 50-day (blue) and 200-day (red) 
averages help identify trends. When the faster 50-day crosses above the 
slower 200-day, traders call this a 'golden cross'—often interpreted 
as bullish.

But remember: no indicator is 100% accurate. That's why we also look 
at volume, fundamentals, and overall market conditions.

Ready for Lesson 5.1: 'Moving Averages Deep Dive'?

⚠️ Educational purposes only — not investment advice."

Character:

  • Psychology and discipline focused
  • Uses FIML data to demonstrate behavioral patterns
  • Emphasizes risk mindset

Example Interaction:

Student: "I keep selling too early when stocks go up!"

Zara: "You're experiencing a very common psychological pattern called 
'premature profit-taking.' Let me show you something:

[FIML Historical Data: Average retracement analysis]

Our data shows that profitable positions often experience 2-3 
pullbacks before continuing their trend. Your instinct to 'lock in 
gains' is natural—our brains are wired to avoid regret.

The key is having a plan BEFORE you enter. Let's work through 
Lesson 7.3: 'Setting Price Targets and Managing Emotions.'

⚠️ Educational purposes only — not investment advice."

4. WebSocket Live Learning Feed

Real-Time Education:

from fiml.websocket import WebSocketStreamer

async def live_learning_session(symbols: list[str]):
    """Stream real market data for live lessons"""

    uri = "ws://fiml-server:8000/ws/prices/" + ",".join(symbols)

    async with websockets.connect(uri) as ws:
        print("🎓 Live Learning Session Started")

        while True:
            update = await ws.recv()
            data = json.loads(update)

            # Educational commentary on real price moves
            if abs(data['change_percent']) > 1.0:
                await send_educational_alert(
                    symbol=data['symbol'],
                    change=data['change_percent'],
                    lesson_context="volatility_basics"
                )

Use Cases:

  • Practice Mode: Students watch real markets and practice analysis
  • Simulation Validation: Compare student predictions to actual movements
  • Event-Driven Learning: Automatic lessons when major market events occur
  • Portfolio Tracking: Educational portfolios with real price updates

5. Adaptive Learning via Session Management

FIML Session Integration:

from fiml.features.session import SessionManager

class AdaptiveLearningEngine:
    """Track student progress using FIML's session system"""

    def __init__(self):
        self.session_mgr = SessionManager()

    async def track_lesson_completion(self, user_id: str, lesson_id: str):
        """Store progress and adapt difficulty"""

        session = await self.session_mgr.get_or_create(user_id)

        # Update mastery score
        session.data['mastery'][lesson_id] = self.calculate_mastery(
            recent_success=session.data['quiz_scores'][-5:],
            previous_mastery=session.data['mastery'].get(lesson_id, 0.5)
        )

        # Determine next lesson based on mastery
        next_lesson = self.select_next_lesson(
            mastery_score=session.data['mastery'][lesson_id],
            completed_lessons=session.data['completed'],
            error_patterns=session.data['errors']
        )

        await self.session_mgr.update(user_id, session.data)

        return next_lesson

Adaptive Logic:

def select_next_lesson(mastery: float, completed: set, errors: list):
    """FIML-powered adaptive path selection"""

    if mastery < 0.6:
        # Review mode - reinforce concepts
        return get_review_lesson(errors[-3:])

    elif 0.6 <= mastery < 0.8:
        # New content - appropriate difficulty
        return get_progressive_lesson(completed)

    else:
        # Mastery achieved - unlock advanced content
        return get_scenario_unlock(completed)

6. Compliance & Safety Framework

FIML Compliance Integration:

from fiml.features.compliance import ComplianceFramework

class EducationalComplianceLayer:
    """Ensure all content meets regulatory standards"""

    def __init__(self):
        self.compliance = ComplianceFramework()

    async def validate_educational_content(self, content: dict):
        """Screen content for compliance violations"""

        # Check for prohibited language
        violations = self.compliance.check_response(
            content['text'],
            user_region=content['user_region']
        )

        if violations:
            # Replace with safe educational content
            return self.generate_safe_alternative(content, violations)

        # Add region-appropriate disclaimer
        disclaimer = self.compliance.get_disclaimer(content['user_region'])
        content['text'] += f"\n\n{disclaimer}"

        return content

Safety Rules:

Hard Compliance Rules

  • ❌ No "buy/sell" recommendations
  • ❌ No specific asset opinions ("AAPL will rise")
  • ❌ No portfolio evaluation
  • ❌ No leverage encouragement
  • ❌ No expected returns promises
  • ❌ No personalized investment actions

Safe Educational Patterns

  • ✅ "Here's how moving averages work..."
  • ✅ "In this historical example, we observe..."
  • ✅ "Risk management principles suggest..."
  • ✅ "This concept is illustrated by..."
  • ✅ "Let's analyze what happened in this scenario..."

    introduction: |
      Every second, millions of trades happen in markets worldwide. 
      Let's see what's happening right now with a real stock:

    live_example:
      type: "fiml_query"
      source: "search-by-symbol"
      params:
        symbol: "AAPL"
        market: "US"
      display_fields:
        - current_price
        - change_percent
        - volume
        - bid_ask_spread

    explanation: |
      Notice the 'Bid' and 'Ask' prices? The bid is what buyers are 
      willing to pay, the ask is what sellers want. The difference 
      is called the spread—it's the market's "transaction cost."

      [FIML provides real-time data so you always learn with current examples]

    chart:
      type: "fiml_historical"
      symbol: "AAPL"
      period: "1d"
      interval: "5m"
      annotations:
        - type: "highlight"
          time: "current"
          label: "Current price"

  quiz:
    question: "If the bid is $150.00 and ask is $150.05, what is the spread?"
    type: "multiple_choice"
    options:
      - text: "$0.05"
        correct: true
        feedback: "Correct! The spread is ask - bid = $150.05 - $150.00 = $0.05"
      - text: "$150.00"
        correct: false
        feedback: "That's the bid price, not the spread. Try again!"
      - text: "$300.05"
        correct: false
        feedback: "That's the sum, not the difference. The spread is ask - bid."

Conclusion

Why This Will Work

1. Real Data = Real Learning

Traditional educational platforms use fake or stale data. We use live market data via FIML, making every lesson relevant and timely.

2. AI-Native Design

FIML's MCP integration allows seamless AI mentor experiences without building complex infrastructure ourselves.

3. Proven Gamification

Duolingo's model works. We're applying it to trading education with real-time market context.

4. Cost-Effective Operations

FIML's arbitration and caching dramatically reduce data costs compared to direct provider APIs.

5. Compliance Built-In

FIML's compliance framework ensures we stay on the right side of regulations globally.

Unique Value Proposition

"The only trading education platform where you learn with real, live market data, guided by AI mentors, practicing on actual historical events—all safely, compliantly, and affordably."
