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

venue-expert 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 5d 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.

Venue Expert

Hierarchical microstructure knowledge base for trading venues. Primary use cases: research, debugging, and building trading systems.

Purpose

Provide deep venue-specific expertise for:

  • Quants building execution models and alpha signals
  • Developers implementing feed handlers and order entry
  • Researchers studying market microstructure
  • Debuggers diagnosing trading system issues

Hierarchy Model

Knowledge is organized in an inheritance hierarchy:

Asset Class (equity, futures, crypto, fx)
    |
    v
Geography (amer, emea, apac)
    |
    v
Exchange (nasdaq, nyse, cme, binance)

Each level inherits concepts from its parent. Exchange-level files assume familiarity with geo-level and asset-class-level concepts.

Current Coverage

Implemented paths:

  • equity/ - Equity market fundamentals
  • equity/amer/ - US equity market structure (Reg NMS, NBBO, SIP, TRF)
  • equity/amer/nasdaq/ - Nasdaq-specific mechanics (ITCH, OUCH, crosses)
  • futures/ - Futures market fundamentals
  • futures/apac/ - APAC futures overview
  • futures/apac/china/ - Chinese futures (CTP, 5 exchanges, regulatory)
  • futures/apac/china/shfe/ - SHFE metals/energy
  • futures/apac/china/dce/ - DCE ferrous/agricultural
  • futures/apac/china/czce/ - CZCE agricultural/chemicals
  • futures/apac/china/cffex/ - CFFEX financial futures
  • futures/apac/china/ine/ - INE internationalized products

Planned paths:

  • equity/amer/nyse/ - NYSE mechanics
  • equity/emea/lse/ - London Stock Exchange
  • futures/amer/cme/ - CME Group
  • crypto/binance/ - Binance exchange

Context Detection

Route to appropriate depth based on query specificity:

Query Pattern Target File
Generic equity concepts equity/equity.md
US market structure, Reg NMS, NBBO equity/amer/equity_amer.md
Nasdaq-specific (ITCH, NOII, crosses) equity/amer/nasdaq/nasdaq.md

What ships with it

Changes

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.
