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

seasonal 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 8d 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.

Seasonal / Calendar Effect Strategy

Purpose

Uses time-based regularities in financial markets (month effects, day-of-week effects, and similar patterns) to generate trading signals. Examples include the China A-share "spring rally" (January-March) and the "sell in May" effect.

Signal Logic

Month Effect (Default)

  • Specified bullish months → go long
  • Specified bearish months → go short / stay out
  • All other months → stay flat

Day-of-Week Effect (Optional Overlay)

  • Monday / Friday effects
  • Start-of-month / end-of-month effects

Combined Mode

Month signal × weekday signal; open a position only when both confirm.

Common Calendar Effects Reference

Effect Description Reference Configuration
Spring rally Higher probability of gains in China A-shares from January to March bullish_months=[1,2,3]
Sell in May Weaker performance from May to October bearish_months=[5,6,7,8,9,10]
Year-end effect Institutional rebalancing in December bullish_months=[11,12]
Monday effect Lower returns on Mondays bearish_weekdays=[0]
Friday effect Higher returns on Fridays bullish_weekdays=[4]

Parameters

Parameter Default Description
bullish_months [1, 2, 3, 11, 12] Bullish months
bearish_months [5, 6, 7, 8, 9] Bearish months
use_weekday False Whether to enable weekday effects
bullish_weekdays [4] Bullish weekdays (0=Monday, 4=Friday)
bearish_weekdays [0] Bearish weekdays

Common Pitfalls

  • pd.DatetimeIndex.month starts from 1 (1=January)
  • pd.DatetimeIndex.weekday starts from 0 (0=Monday, 4=Friday)
  • Seasonal strategies are statistical regularities, not deterministic signals, so pay attention to sample size in backtests
  • Neutral months (neither in bullish nor bearish) should output 0 and must not be skipped

Dependencies

pip install pandas numpy

Signal Convention

  • 1 = long (bullish window), -1 = short (bearish window), 0 = stand aside

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.
