Prerequisites

Ensure the following before using this skill:

1. Python 3.8+ environment available
2. Internet connection for real-time market data
3. Required packages installed: pip install -r requirements.txt
4. User's account balance known for position sizing

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 10000
• Timeframes: 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

1. 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

1. Execute Analysis

• Run appropriate command (analyze, scan, or interactive)
• Wait for comprehensive analysis to complete
• System automatically validates through 6 stages

1. 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)

1. Interpret Output

• Reference references/output-interpretation.md for detailed guidance
• Translate technical metrics into user-friendly language
• Explain risk/reward in simple terms
• Always include risk warnings

1. 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/
