scalp

scalp is a skill for Claude Code from EternaHybridExchange/mcp-trading-agent. It costs 24 tokens per session (582 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A short-term trading strategy that looks for strong price movement, confirms it using the order book, and enters trades with preset profit and loss limits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan tickers for large daily moves and high volume, check buying or selling pressure, and place perpetual-futures trades with the stated leverage, take-profit, and stop-loss settings.
Why use it?
It gives the trader explicit rules for finding momentum, limiting simultaneous positions, sizing risk, and defining exits. An order book shows current buy and sell orders near the market price.

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

scalp 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.

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.

Momentum Scalping

A short-term scalping strategy that identifies momentum moves and captures quick profits with tight risk management.

Parameters

  • Take-Profit: 1.0% from entry
  • Stop-Loss: 0.6% from entry
  • Risk per trade: 1-2% of available balance
  • Max concurrent positions: 3
  • Leverage: 10x (default)

Workflow

1. Scan for Momentum

Call get_tickers with no symbol to retrieve all tickers. Filter for:

  • Long candidates: price24hPcnt > 3% (strong upward momentum)
  • Short candidates: price24hPcnt < -3% (strong downward momentum)
  • Volume filter: prioritize symbols with above-average 24h volume

Sort candidates by absolute price24hPcnt to find the strongest movers.

2. Check Current Positions

Call get_positions to see how many positions are open. Do not exceed 3 concurrent scalp positions. If already at the limit, skip or close the weakest position first.

3. Orderbook Confirmation

For each candidate, call get_orderbook and analyze:

  • For longs: bid volume should be at least 1.5x ask volume in the top 5 levels (buying pressure)
  • For shorts: ask volume should be at least 1.5x bid volume in the top 5 levels (selling pressure)

If the orderbook does not confirm the direction, skip the symbol.

4. Execute the Trade

For confirmed candidates:

  1. Call get_instruments to get lot size and tick size
  2. Call get_balance to check available margin
  3. Calculate position size (risk 1-2% of balance)
  4. Call set_leverage to set 10x leverage
  5. Call place_order as a market order with:
    • Take-profit at 1.0% from current price
    • Stop-loss at 0.6% from current price

5. Monitor and Cycle

After placing a trade:

  1. Call get_positions to verify entry
  2. Report the trade details
  3. If fewer than 3 positions are open, scan for the next candidate
  4. Repeat the cycle

Notes

  • This strategy works best during high-volatility periods
  • Avoid scalping during low-volume hours
  • If a symbol has already been scalped and closed at SL, do not re-enter the same symbol in the same session

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.
