The Day Trader skill

11 Claude skills for day trading: scan thousands of charts, track breaking news, time every entry and exit, and replay every outcome before you risk a dollar.

Free, MIT, no signup, no API key. The tools are plain Python that read free
public data: Yahoo Finance charts, Nasdaq Trader's symbol lists, SEC EDGAR
and the House Clerk.

One scans thousands of charts for setups. Another tracks breaking news on
every stock you watch. One watches a setup bar by bar and tells you the moment
to get in, and another sets your stop and your target before you do. And the
craziest one is the Time Machine: before you risk a dollar, it replays the
rest of the session 10,000 times from the stock's own recent bars, plus every
past day the same setup fired, and tells you the honest odds.

And no trade goes through until you say yes. Nothing in this pack can place
an order on its own. Paper trading is the default.

 This repo is its day-trading sequel: the Trader skill v2.

 Install

Paste this into Claude:


https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/day-trader-skill

install skill


Or as a plugin, in Claude Code:


/plugin marketplace add Jakeschincariol/day-trader-skill
/plugin install day-trader-skill@day-trader-skill


Claude Code namespaces plugin skills, so installed as a plugin they show up as
/day-trader-skill:trader-scanner and so on. Copy the folders instead if you want
plain /trader-scanner:

bash
git clone https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/day-trader-skill.git
cp -r day-trader-skill/trader- ~/.claude/skills/


Project-local instead of global: copy the same folders into your repo's
.claude/skills/. No Claude Code at all? Paste any single SKILL.md at the
top of a chat and it runs as a mode. You lose the Python tools, but the method
works.

The tools need Python 3.8 or newer. Nothing to pip install. The SEC tools
(news filings, the analyst) ask you to identify yourself: put your name and
email in trader/config.json ("sec_user_agent": "Your Name [email protected]")
or in the SEC_USER_AGENT environment variable.
