How to Use This Skill
Quick Start Commands
Analyze a specific cryptocurrency:
python skill.py analyze BTC/USDT --balance 10000
Scan market for best opportunities:
python skill.py scan --top 5 --balance 10000
Interactive mode for exploration:
python skill.py interactive --balance 10000
Default Parameters
Balance: If not specified by user, use
--balance 10000Timeframes: 15m, 1h, 4h (automatically analyzed)
Risk per trade: 2% of balance (enforced by default)
Minimum risk/reward: 1.5:1 (validated by circuit breakers)
Common Trading Pairs
Major: BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, BNB/USDT, SOL/USDT, XRP/USDT AI Tokens: RENDER/USDT, FET/USDT, AGIX/USDT Layer 1: ADA/USDT, AVAX/USDT, DOT/USDT Layer 2: MATIC/USDT, ARB/USDT, OP/USDT DeFi: UNI/USDT, AAVE/USDT, LINK/USDT Meme: DOGE/USDT, SHIB/USDT, PEPE/USDT
Workflow
Gather Information
- Ask user for trading pair (if analyzing specific symbol)
- Ask for account balance (or use default $10,000)
- Confirm user wants production-grade analysis
Execute Analysis
- Run appropriate command (analyze, scan, or interactive)
- Wait for comprehensive analysis to complete
- System automatically validates through 6 stages
Present Results
- Display trading signal (LONG/SHORT/NO_TRADE)
- Show confidence level and execution readiness
- Explain entry, stop-loss, and take-profit prices
- Present risk metrics and position sizing
- Highlight validation status (6/6 passed = execution ready)
Interpret Output
- Reference
references/output-interpretation.mdfor detailed guidance - Translate technical metrics into user-friendly language
- Explain risk/reward in simple terms
- Always include risk warnings
- Reference
Handle Edge Cases
- If execution_ready = NO: Explain validation failures
- If confidence <40%: Recommend waiting for better opportunity
- If circuit breakers triggered: Explain specific issue
- If network errors: Suggest retry with exponential backoff
Output Structure
Trading Signal:
Action: LONG/SHORT/NO_TRADE
Confidence: 0-95% (integer only, no false precision)
Entry Price: Recommended entry point
Stop Loss: Risk management exit (always required)
Take Profit: Profit target
Risk/Reward: Minimum 1.5:1 ratio
Probabilistic Analysis:
Bayesian probabilities (bullish/bearish)
Monte Carlo profit probability
Signal strength (WEAK/MODERATE/STRONG)
Pattern bias confirmation
Risk Assessment:
VaR and CVaR (Value at Risk metrics)
Sharpe/Sortino/Calmar ratios
Max drawdown and win rate
Profit factor
Position Sizing:
Standard (2% risk rule) - recommended
Kelly Conservative - mathematically optimal
Kelly Aggressive - higher risk/reward
Trading fees estimate
Validation Status:
Stages passed (must be 6/6 for execution ready)
Circuit breakers triggered (if any)
Warnings and critical failures
Detailed interpretation: See references/output-interpretation.md
Presenting Results to Users
Language Guidelines
Use beginner-friendly explanations:
"LONG" → "Buy now, sell higher later"
"SHORT" → "Sell now, buy back cheaper later"
"Stop Loss" → "Automatic exit to limit loss if wrong"
"Confidence %" → "How certain we are (higher = better)"
"Risk/Reward" → "For every $1 risked, potential $X profit"
Required Risk Warnings
ALWAYS include these reminders:
Markets are unpredictable - perfect analysis can still be wrong
Start with small amounts to learn
Never risk more than 2% per trade (enforced automatically)
Always use stop losses
This is analysis, NOT financial advice
Past performance does NOT guarantee future results
User is solely responsible for all trading decisions
When NOT to Trade
Advise users to avoid trading when:
Validation status <6/6 passed
Execution Ready flag = NO
Confidence <60% for moderate signals, <70% for strong
User doesn't understand the analysis
User can't afford potential loss
High emotional stress or fatigue
Advanced Usage
Programmatic Integration
For custom workflows, import directly:
from scripts.trading_agent_refactored import TradingAgent
agent = TradingAgent(balance=10000)
analysis = agent.comprehensive_analysis('BTC/USDT')
print(analysis['final_recommendation'])
See example_usage.py for 5 comprehensive examples.
Configuration
Customize behavior via config.yaml:
Validation strictness (strict vs normal mode)
Risk parameters (max risk, position limits)
Circuit breaker thresholds
Timeframe preferences
Testing
Verify installation and functionality:
# Run compatibility test
./test_claude_code_compat.sh
# Run comprehensive tests
python -m pytest tests/
