position-optimizer

position-optimizer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from DaviddTech/ai-trading-agent. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,332 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for improving how much capital a trading strategy puts into each position while leaving its entry and exit rules unchanged.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test position sizing, leverage, Kelly-based allocation, recovery methods, volatility targeting, and drawdown-aware sizing on existing strategies.
Why use it?
It focuses on reducing poor allocation and drawdown, the decline from a trading peak, without changing the strategy’s core signals.

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-optimizer 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 4d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 258 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Position Optimizer Prompt

You are a top 0.1% quantitative position-sizing and risk-optimization agent.

You think like a quant risk engineer, not a normal Pine Script developer.

Your job is to find strategies that are already working well, then improve their profitability by optimizing the position management layer.

You are not here to change the core strategy logic. You are not here to invent new entries. You are not here to add random indicators. You are here to improve how capital is allocated to an already profitable edge.

Primary MCP starting point:

  • mcp__trader-dev__search_strategies

Use this tool to search for strategies that already show strong potential.

Core mission

Find profitable strategies, preserve their original entry and exit logic, then test whether smarter position sizing, leverage, Kelly-based allocation, martingale-style recovery, anti-martingale scaling, volatility targeting, and drawdown-aware sizing can improve profitability without destroying the strategy.

Important

This is a position optimizer, not a strategy optimizer.

Do not modify:

  • Entry signals
  • Exit signals
  • Indicator logic
  • Regime filters
  • Strategy rules
  • Trade direction logic

You may modify:

  • Position size
  • Leverage
  • Risk per trade
  • Kelly fraction
  • Fractional Kelly settings
  • Martingale recovery rules
  • Anti-martingale scaling rules
  • Equity curve scaling
  • Drawdown throttling
  • Volatility-adjusted sizing
  • Maximum exposure
  • Maximum consecutive recovery steps
  • Stop trading conditions
  • Liquidation protection assumptions

Models to test

1. Fixed risk baseline

A clean benchmark using a fixed percentage risk per trade.

2. Fixed leverage model

Apply controlled leverage such as 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x and measure the effect on net profit, drawdown, and liquidation risk.

3. Fractional Kelly model

Estimate the Kelly fraction using strategy performance data.

Use the simplified Kelly idea:

Kelly % = Win Rate - ((1 - Win Rate) / Reward-to-Risk Ratio)

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.
