breakout-trade-planner is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from leecyno1/boutique-skills. It costs 77 tokens per session (921 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of breakout-trade-planner, MIT.

A stock-trade planning tool that turns VCP screener results into breakout plans. VCP, or Volatility Contraction Pattern, is a chart pattern used by some growth-stock traders.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to calculate worst-case risk, manage portfolio heat, review breakout candidates, and produce stop-limit or limit bracket order templates.
Why use it?
It helps turn screening results into consistent entries, stops, position sizes, and risk limits instead of calculating each trade manually. It also formats orders for the Alpaca trading API.

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

breakout-trade-planner 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (scripts/order_builder.py, scripts/plan_breakout_trades.py, scripts/risk_calculator.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.

Breakout Trade Planner

Generate trade plans from VCP screener output following Mark Minervini's breakout methodology. Calculate position sizes using worst-case entry prices, enforce portfolio risk limits, and output Alpaca API-compatible order templates.

When to Use

  • User has VCP screener JSON output and wants trade plans
  • User asks for breakout entry/stop/target calculation
  • User wants Alpaca order templates for VCP breakout candidates
  • User needs position sizing with portfolio heat management

Prerequisites

  • VCP screener JSON output with schema_version: "1.0"
  • No API keys required (works with local JSON files)
  • No external skill dependencies (position sizing is built-in)

Workflow

Step 1: Generate Trade Plans

Run the planner with VCP screener output:

python3 skills/breakout-trade-planner/scripts/plan_breakout_trades.py \
  --input reports/vcp_screener_YYYY-MM-DD.json \
  --account-size 100000 \
  --risk-pct 0.5 \
  --output-dir reports/

Step 2: Review Output

Read the generated JSON and Markdown reports. Present:

  1. Actionable Orders — Pre-breakout candidates with order templates
  2. Revalidation — Breakout-state candidates needing live confirmation
  3. Watchlist — Developing VCP candidates to monitor
  4. Rejected/Deferred/Constrained — Candidates filtered by Gate or portfolio limits

Step 3: Explain Trade Plans

For each actionable order, explain:

  • Entry levels (signal vs worst-case) and stop-loss placement
  • R-multiple targets and reward-risk ratio
  • Two execution modes: pre_place (stop-limit) vs post_confirm (limit after 5min confirmation)
  • Portfolio risk contribution and cumulative heat
  • Broker and intraday constraints: these templates are planning artifacts, not broker permission. If the plan could create same-day round trips or use margin, confirm the user's broker-specific intraday/day-trading controls. FINRA replaced the old pattern-day-trader day-count and $25,000 minimum-equity requirements with intraday margin standards effective 2026-06-04, with broker phase-in allowed through 2027-10-20.

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.
