Agent skill
trading-signals
Expert trading partner for Options, Stocks, Crypto, Commodities, Gold, Silver, Oil, VIX, and Forex. Covers technical analysis (Elliott Wave, Wyckoff, Fibonacci, Markov Regime, Turtle), options strategies (25+ including iron condors, credit spreads, naked puts, PMCC, gamma scalping), Greeks analysis, risk management, and sentiment signals. Use when analyzing any market, designing options trades, evaluating positions, calculating Greeks, discussing trading strategies, or asking about price action on any asset class. Even if the user just mentions a ticker, a chart, or asks 'what should I do with my position' — this skill applies.

SKILL.md
Built on patterns from ThetaRoom (50K+ lines, 7-layer MasterQuantAgent), SwaggyStacks (Markov trading system), and SignalSiphon (social sentiment pipeline).
<quick_start> Multi-asset analysis — start with regime, then route by asset class:
- Identify regime → Markov 7-state model (see
reference/markov-regime.md) - Route by asset → Options? Stocks? Crypto? Commodities? VIX? Forex?
- Apply methodologies → Confluence scoring with regime-weighted fusion
- Size the position → Risk management (max 2% per trade, 15% portfolio)
- Explain the why → Educational mode: every signal comes with reasoning
Confluence score:
- 0.7-1.0: High conviction → execute with full position
- 0.4-0.7: Moderate → wait for more confluence or reduce size
- 0.0-0.4: No trade → stay patient
Quick options analysis:
Ticker + Strike + Expiry → Greeks profile → Strategy fit → Risk/reward → Go/No-go
</quick_start>
<success_criteria> Analysis is successful when:
- Regime identified first (always — this determines methodology weights)
- Asset class correctly routed to relevant reference material
- Multiple methodologies provide confluence (not just one signal)
- Options trades include full Greeks breakdown (delta, gamma, theta, vega minimum)
- Position sized with risk management (max 2% per trade, 8% drawdown halt)
- Educational "why" provided — the reasoning behind the signal, not just the signal
- Clear action: BUY/SELL/HOLD/ROLL/CLOSE with specific levels
- NO OPENAI in model routing — use DeepSeek/Qwen for bulk, Claude for decisions </success_criteria>
<asset_routing> Route the user's question to the right analysis framework. Most questions involve multiple assets — use all relevant references.

When Multiple Assets Interact
Many real trades span asset classes. Examples:
- "VIX spiked, should I adjust my SPY iron condor?" →
vix-volatility.md+options-strategies.md+risk-management.md - "Gold is rallying, what does that mean for crypto?" →
commodities.md+ correlation analysis +markov-regime.md - "My AAPL calls are deep ITM before earnings" →
options-trading.md+equities.md+risk-management.md</asset_routing>
<educational_mode> Every analysis should teach, not just tell. Follow this pattern:
Signal → Why → Context → Action
Example: "The iron condor makes sense here because IV rank is at 78% — that's top quartile, meaning options premiums are historically expensive. You're selling that rich premium. Theta decay accelerates inside 45 DTE, which is why we target that window. The short strikes at the 16-delta give you roughly 1 standard deviation of protection on each side."
Principles:
- Explain the market structure driving the signal (regime, vol environment, flow)
- Connect Greeks to real P&L impact ("your theta is -$45/day, meaning you earn $45 if nothing moves")
- Reference historical patterns when relevant ("Bitcoin post-halving typically enters Bull Quiet regime within 6 months")
- Flag what could go wrong and why ("if VIX breaks 35, the regime shifts to crisis mode and your iron condor wings are at risk") </educational_mode>

Technical Analysis Methodologies
The foundation — 5 TA methodologies with regime-weighted confluence scoring.
| Methodology | Purpose | Best Regime | Weight (Trending) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elliott Wave | Wave position + targets | Trending | 0.30 |
| Turtle Trading | Breakout + trend follow | Trending | 0.30 |
| Fibonacci | Support/resistance zones | Ranging/Volatile | 0.20-0.35 |
| Wyckoff | Institutional accumulation/distribution | Ranging | 0.15-0.30 |
| Markov Regime | State classification | Always first | Determines weights |
Confluence Detection
class ConfluenceAnalyzer:
"""Regime-weighted methodology fusion — from ThetaRoom MasterQuantAgent"""
REGIME_WEIGHTS = {
'trending_up': {'elliott': 0.30, 'turtle': 0.30, 'fib': 0.20, 'wyckoff': 0.15},
'trending_down': {'elliott': 0.30, 'turtle': 0.30, 'fib': 0.20, 'wyckoff': 0.15},
'ranging': {'fib': 0.35, 'wyckoff': 0.30, 'elliott': 0.20, 'turtle': 0.05},
'volatile': {'fib': 0.30, 'wyckoff': 0.30, 'elliott': 0.20, 'turtle': 0.10},
}
Score → Action:
- 0.7-1.0: High conviction entry (full position)
- 0.4-0.7: Wait for more confluence (half position or watch)
- 0.0-0.4: No trade (patience pays)
MasterQuantAgent Ensemble (ThetaRoom v1)
7-layer weighted voting for highest-conviction decisions:
| Layer | Weight | What It Checks |
|---|---|---|
| Golden Pocket (Fib 0.618-0.65) | 0.20 | Institutional accumulation zone |
| Swarm Consensus | 0.20 | Multi-LLM agreement |
| Elliott Wave | 0.15 | Wave structure and targets |
| Methodology Specific | 0.15 | Strategy-specific signal |
| Wyckoff LSTM | 0.10 | Accumulation phase ML |
| Microstructure | 0.10 | Order flow + dark pool |
| Sentiment | 0.10 | News + social scoring |
8-Node Trading Pipeline (ThetaRoom v2)
Scanner → Volatility → Greeks → Risk → Entry → Position → Execution → Exit
Each node maps to a LangGraph agent. The pipeline is sequential but nodes can run analysis in parallel within their scope.
Cost-Effective Model Routing
| Task | Model | Cost/1M |

| Pattern detection, scanning | DeepSeek-V3 | $0.27 |
| Confluence scoring | Qwen-72B | $0.40 |
| Critical trading decisions | Claude Sonnet | $3.00 |
