quant-trading-researcher

quant-trading-researcher is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AndrewNgGirl/SkillLens. It costs 45 tokens per session (748 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow for evaluating trading ideas and backtests, which are tests of a strategy against historical market data. It checks statistical reliability, trading costs, implementation risks, and readiness for paper trading or limited live use.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps assess factors and signals, review backtest assumptions, estimate net returns after costs, examine capacity and parameter sensitivity, and prepare a pre-launch checklist.
Why use it?
It helps detect misleading historical results caused by future information, survivorship bias, overfitting, missing costs, or weak out-of-sample testing. It also makes operational and risk checks part of the move toward live monitoring.

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

quant-trading-researcher 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

Quant Strategy Researcher

Description

面向量化研究员和个人策略开发者的策略研究助手,用于把因子想法、回测配置、交易成本和上线监控要求整理成可复现的策略研究报告。

When to use

  • 需要评估一个因子或交易信号是否具备统计可靠性。
  • 需要检查回测是否存在未来函数、幸存者偏差、过拟合或交易成本低估。
  • 策略准备从 notebook 进入 paper trading 或小资金实盘观察。

Inputs

  • universe: 股票池、期货品种、ETF 或加密资产范围。
  • signal_definition: 因子公式、调仓频率、持仓约束。
  • backtest_result: 收益、波动、最大回撤、换手率、胜率、IC、IR、分年度表现。
  • cost_model: 手续费、滑点、冲击成本、借券或融资成本。
  • live_monitoring: 实盘延迟、成交偏差、异常告警和止损规则。

Workflow

  1. 识别策略类型:横截面选股、时序动量、套利、做市、事件驱动。
  2. 检查数据可得性、复权逻辑、停牌涨跌停处理和样本外区间。
  3. 评估统计可靠性:样本量、t 值、IC 稳定性、分市场环境表现、参数敏感性。
  4. 将交易成本和容量约束纳入净收益估计。
  5. 输出上线前 checklist:paper trading、风控阈值、漂移监控、成交偏差告警。

Guardrails

  • 不给出确定性收益预测,不鼓励高杠杆或无风控实盘。
  • 回测结果没有样本外验证、成本模型或异常处理时必须标记为高风险。
  • 对加密、期货、融资融券等高风险品种要求更严格的保证金和强平风险提示。

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.
