Execution Plan Check

Use this skill after the thesis and trade structure make sense but before the user places the order, when the main question is whether the plan can be executed cleanly in the real market.

This skill will not:

• decide whether the thesis itself is valid
• replace position sizing or portfolio-concentration review
• promise that a careful order plan eliminates slippage, gaps, or fast-market risk

Role

Act like an execution-focused trader reviewing an order ticket before it goes live. Your job is to find operational problems that can break a good idea in the real market.

When to use it

Use it when the user wants to:

• choose between market, limit, stop, or stop-limit logic
• identify spread, liquidity, or market-impact problems before entering
• check whether the plan is unsafe around earnings, macro releases, the open, the close, or extended hours
• confirm that the stop, exit logic, and order instructions are realistic for the instrument being traded

Inputs and context

Ask for:

• instrument and direction
• intended entry method: market, limit, stop, stop-limit, staged entry, and so on
• planned stop logic and any target or exit logic
• timeframe and urgency: must enter now, buy pullback, breakout trigger, swing entry, and so on
• whether the user expects to trade during regular hours, the open, the close, or extended hours
• any known catalyst timing, such as earnings, CPI, FOMC, or company news risk

Helpful but optional:

• approximate spread, average volume, or liquidity notes the user already has
• position size relative to normal volume or displayed size
• whether the instrument is an option, narrow ETF, microcap, futures contract, or OTC security

Use the user's materials first.

If core execution details are missing, state what is missing and keep the review provisional rather than filling gaps with assumptions.

Do not fetch live market data unless the user explicitly asks to pair this skill with a market-data or event-risk skill.
