breakout-trade-planner

breakout-trade-planner is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BaggaT236/AI-Trading-Skills. It costs 77 tokens per session (831 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of breakout-trade-planner, MIT.

A trade-planning guide for stocks showing a volatility contraction pattern, where price swings become smaller before a possible breakout. It calculates position size and prepares order templates compatible with Alpaca, a brokerage platform with a trading API.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create breakout plans from VCP screener JSON, calculate position sizes and worst-case risk, manage total portfolio risk, and produce Alpaca order templates.
Why use it?
It turns screener results into plans with defined entry, stop, target, and account-risk limits. It also distinguishes orders placed before a breakout from those used after confirmation.

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

breakout-trade-planner 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 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (scripts/order_builder.py, scripts/plan_breakout_trades.py, scripts/risk_calculator.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Breakout Trade Planner

Generate trade plans from VCP screener output following Mark Minervini's breakout methodology. Calculate position sizes using worst-case entry prices, enforce portfolio risk limits, and output Alpaca API-compatible order templates.

When to Use

  • User has VCP screener JSON output and wants trade plans
  • User asks for breakout entry/stop/target calculation
  • User wants Alpaca order templates for VCP breakout candidates
  • User needs position sizing with portfolio heat management

Prerequisites

  • VCP screener JSON output with schema_version: "1.0"
  • No API keys required (works with local JSON files)
  • No external skill dependencies (position sizing is built-in)

Workflow

Step 1: Generate Trade Plans

Run the planner with VCP screener output:

python3 skills/breakout-trade-planner/scripts/plan_breakout_trades.py \
  --input reports/vcp_screener_YYYY-MM-DD.json \
  --account-size 100000 \
  --risk-pct 0.5 \
  --output-dir reports/

Step 2: Review Output

Read the generated JSON and Markdown reports. Present:

  1. Actionable Orders — Pre-breakout candidates with order templates
  2. Revalidation — Breakout-state candidates needing live confirmation
  3. Watchlist — Developing VCP candidates to monitor
  4. Rejected/Deferred/Constrained — Candidates filtered by Gate or portfolio limits

Step 3: Explain Trade Plans

For each actionable order, explain:

  • Entry levels (signal vs worst-case) and stop-loss placement
  • R-multiple targets and reward-risk ratio
  • Two execution modes: pre_place (stop-limit) vs post_confirm (limit after 5min confirmation)
  • Portfolio risk contribution and cumulative heat

Minervini Gate (Filtering Criteria)

Candidates must pass ALL conditions:

Condition Pre-breakout Breakout
valid_vcp True True
rating_band good/strong/textbook good/strong/textbook
risk_pct_worst <= 8.0% <= 8.0%
breakout_volume True
distance_from_pivot <= max_chase_pct
current_price <= worst_entry
