position-sizer

position-sizer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from chuancyzhang/deepseek-cowork. It costs 58 tokens per session (1,543 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of position-sizer, Apache-2.0.

A risk-based position-sizing calculator for long stock trades. It uses the planned loss limit, stop-loss distance, volatility, the Kelly criterion, and sector concentration to estimate how many shares to buy.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to calculate share quantities, set risk per trade, adjust for volatility, and check portfolio or sector exposure.
Why use it?
Buying a fixed amount can expose a portfolio to very different losses across trades. This helps connect the trade size to the risk the investor is willing to take.

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

position-sizer 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/position_sizer.py, scripts/tests/conftest.py, scripts/tests/test_position_sizer.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.

Position Sizer

Overview

Calculate the optimal number of shares to buy for a long stock trade based on risk management principles. Supports three sizing methods:

  • Fixed Fractional: Risk a fixed percentage of account equity per trade (default: 1%)
  • ATR-Based: Use Average True Range to set volatility-adjusted stop distances
  • Kelly Criterion: Calculate mathematically optimal risk allocation from historical win/loss statistics

All methods apply portfolio constraints (max position %, max sector %) and output a final recommended share count with full risk breakdown.

When to Use

  • User asks "how many shares should I buy?"
  • User wants to calculate position size for a specific trade setup
  • User mentions risk per trade, stop-loss sizing, or portfolio allocation
  • User asks about Kelly Criterion or ATR-based position sizing
  • User wants to check if a position fits within portfolio concentration limits

Prerequisites

  • No API keys required
  • Python 3.9+ with standard library only

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Trade Parameters

Collect from the user:

  • Required: Account size (total equity)
  • Mode A (Fixed Fractional): Entry price, stop price, risk percentage (default 1%)
  • Mode B (ATR-Based): Entry price, ATR value, ATR multiplier (default 2.0x), risk percentage
  • Mode C (Kelly Criterion): Win rate, average win, average loss; optionally entry and stop for share calculation
  • Optional constraints: Max position % of account, max sector %, current sector exposure

If the user provides a stock ticker but not specific prices, use available tools to look up the current price and suggest entry/stop levels based on technical analysis.

Step 2: Execute Position Sizer Script

Run the position sizing calculation:

# Fixed Fractional (most common)
python3 skills/position-sizer/scripts/position_sizer.py \
  --account-size 100000 \
  --entry 155 \
  --stop 148.50 \

# ATR-Based
python3 skills/position-sizer/scripts/position_sizer.py \
  --account-size 100000 \
  --entry 155 \
  --atr 3.20 \
  --atr-multiplier 2.0 \
  --risk-pct 1.0 \
  --output-dir reports/

# Kelly Criterion (budget mode - no entry)

  --account-size 100000 \
  --win-rate 0.55 \
  --avg-win 2.5 \
  --avg-loss 1.0 \
  --output-dir reports/

# Kelly Criterion (shares mode - with entry/stop)

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.
