candlestick

candlestick is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from skloxo/TideTrading. It costs 56 tokens per session (462 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of candlestick, MIT.

A pandas-based detector for 15 classic candlestick patterns in price charts. Candlesticks are chart bars showing an asset's opening, closing, high, and low prices; the detector combines bullish and bearish patterns into a signal.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for scanning price data for single-, double-, and triple-candle patterns and producing bullish, bearish, or neutral trading signals.
Why use it?
It turns recurring chart shapes into consistent scores, reducing the need to inspect every pattern manually.

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

candlestick 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (example_signal_engine.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.

What it actually says

Candlestick Pattern Recognition

Purpose

Identifies 15 classic candlestick patterns and generates trading signals:

Single-Candle Patterns (5)

Pattern Signal Description
Hammer Bullish Long lower shadow with a small body at the top
Inverted Hammer Bullish Long upper shadow with a small body at the bottom
Shooting Star Bearish Long upper shadow with a small body at the bottom (appears after an uptrend)
Doji Neutral Open and close are nearly equal
Spinning Top Neutral Small body with roughly equal upper and lower shadows

Double-Candle Patterns (5)

Pattern Signal
Bullish Engulfing Bullish
Bearish Engulfing Bearish
Bullish Harami Bullish
Bearish Harami Bearish
Piercing Line Bullish
Dark Cloud Cover Bearish

Triple-Candle Patterns (4)

Pattern Signal
Morning Star Bullish
Evening Star Bearish
Three White Soldiers Bullish
Three Black Crows Bearish

Signal Logic

Bullish patterns score +1, bearish patterns score -1. Go long when the total score is > 0, go short when it is < 0, and stand aside when it equals 0.

Parameters

Parameter Default Description
body_pct 0.1 Threshold for body-to-range ratio in a doji
shadow_ratio 2.0 Ratio of shadow length to body length

Dependencies

pip install pandas numpy requests

Signal Convention

  • 1 = long, -1 = short, 0 = stand aside
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
