pair-trade-screener

pair-trade-screener is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BaggaT236/AI-Trading-Skills. It costs 87 tokens per session (4,598 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of pair-trade-screener, MIT.

A tool for finding pairs of stocks whose prices have historically moved together and analyzing when their relationship may temporarily diverge. Pair trading buys one stock and sells the other to focus on their relative movement rather than the market's overall direction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search within sectors for related stock pairs, test their long-term price relationship, measure unusual spread movements with z-scores, and review possible entry, exit, and sizing levels.
Why use it?
It helps organize the statistical checks needed to find potentially mean-reverting pairs instead of relying only on visual comparison or broad market forecasts.

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

pair-trade-screener 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/analyze_spread.py, scripts/find_pairs.py, scripts/tests/conftest.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.

Pair Trade Screener

Overview

This skill identifies and analyzes statistical arbitrage opportunities through pair trading. Pair trading is a market-neutral strategy that profits from the relative price movements of two correlated securities, regardless of overall market direction. The skill uses rigorous statistical methods including correlation analysis and cointegration testing to find robust trading pairs.

Core Methodology:

  • Identify pairs of stocks with high correlation and similar sector/industry exposure
  • Test for cointegration (long-term statistical relationship)
  • Calculate spread z-scores to identify mean-reversion opportunities
  • Generate entry/exit signals based on statistical thresholds
  • Provide position sizing for market-neutral exposure

Key Advantages:

  • Market-neutral: Profits in up, down, or sideways markets
  • Risk management: Limited exposure to broad market movements
  • Statistical foundation: Data-driven, not discretionary
  • Diversification: Uncorrelated to traditional long-only strategies

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • User asks for "pair trading opportunities"
  • User wants "market-neutral strategies"
  • User requests "statistical arbitrage screening"
  • User asks "which stocks move together?"
  • User wants to hedge sector exposure
  • User requests mean-reversion trade ideas
  • User asks about relative value trading

Example user requests:

  • "Find pair trading opportunities in the tech sector"
  • "Which stocks are cointegrated?"
  • "Screen for statistical arbitrage opportunities"
  • "Find mean-reversion pairs"
  • "What are good market-neutral trades right now?"

Analysis Workflow

Step 1: Define Pair Universe

Objective: Establish the pool of stocks to analyze for pair relationships.

Option A: Sector-Based Screening (Recommended)

Select a specific sector to screen:

  • Technology
  • Financials
  • Healthcare
  • Consumer Discretionary
  • Industrials
  • Energy
  • Materials
  • Consumer Staples
  • Utilities
  • Real Estate
  • Communication Services
