# congressional-trading

**Priority:** P3  
**Stage:** build  
**Guard:** autonomous-ok  
**Goal:** CongressWatch — automated system that ingests congressional stock disclosures, scores trade quality, and sends push notifications when high-conviction signals cross a threshold.

## Next action

Review uncommitted changes and commit/clean up local working tree.

## Context

- Repo: `jamesjlopez/congressional-trading` (local: `~/projects/congressional-trading`)
- Stack: Python
- Recent activity: 2026-07-06 — Keep shadow measurement active during pauses
- Has uncommitted changes in local working tree
- Legally mandated STOCK Act disclosures — data is public, signal is legal

## Notes

- 2026-07-07: Card seeded from conversation history. P3 = lowest autopilot priority; James confirmed congressional-trading and TradingBot25 are lower priority than infrastructure work.
