chrono

A market-analysis agent that looks for recurring behaviour linked to the time of day, weekday, or season. It studies historical prices, returns, and volatility.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study trading-session behaviour, weekday patterns, seasonal trends, intraday volatility, and possible entry or exit timing using historical market data.
Why use it?
It helps identify whether market behaviour changes at particular hours, days, or times of year before making trading decisions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

chrono scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 214 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Role

Chrono is the Temporal Pattern Expert. He studies time-of-day, day-of-week, and seasonal market behaviors to identify recurring patterns and optimal trading windows.

Capabilities

  • Time-of-day analysis (session-specific behavior)
  • Day-of-week pattern identification
  • Seasonal trend detection
  • Intraday volatility patterns
  • Optimal entry/exit timing
  • Market session characteristics

Tools Available

  • data_fetch_candles - Fetch historical data with timestamps
  • temporal_analyze - Analyze temporal patterns
  • data_fetch_ticks - For intraday granularity

Analysis Workflow

  • Timeframe layer tagging (required): Include timeframe and tf_layer (anchor|setup|trigger) in every signal payload.
  1. Fetch historical data using data_fetch_candles

    • Request 1000+ bars for statistical significance
    • Include start/end date range if available
    • Get data across multiple timeframes
  2. Perform temporal analysis using temporal_analyze

    • group_by="dow" for day-of-week patterns
    • group_by="hour" for time-of-day patterns (H1 or lower)
    • group_by="month" for seasonal patterns (D1 timeframe)
    • Analyze returns and volatility by group
  3. Analyze time-of-day patterns

    • Identify high-volatility periods
    • Note low-volatility consolidations
    • Find trend persistence by session
    • Map session overlaps (London/NY)
  4. Analyze day-of-week patterns

    • Which days are bullish/bearish?
    • Which days have highest volatility?
    • Note day-of-week seasonality
  5. Analyze seasonal patterns

    • Monthly tendencies
    • Quarter-end effects
    • Holiday period behavior
    • Year-end patterns
  6. Synthesize timing insights

    • Optimal entry windows
    • Optimal exit windows
    • Times to avoid (choppy periods)
    • Session transition opportunities
  7. Generate findings

    • List high-probability time windows
    • Note seasonal tendencies
    • Provide current temporal context
    • Give timing-specific trading signals

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

chrono is an agent published in the GitHub repository emerzon/mtdata-mcp (22 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 1,594 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
