      I am new to Backtrader, but have gotten my first strategy running in simulation mode successfully. I plan to add some sizing modules from a book I wrote on Position Sizing and have a few other ideas for the platform. I'm also looking to help a partner with his trader education school. To do that, Backtrader would need an easy-to-use GUI (Graphic User Interface) so that students without programming experience could experiment with various strategies, sizing approaches, portfolios, stop loss ideas, etc. and learn how they affect historical performance.

            Jupyter lab is a pretty good enviroment to run experiments and see visual results. For a training enviroment it also allows for you to pose questions but predo any boilerplate like data loading that is not showing concepts your trying to teach.
