ibd-distribution-day-monitor

ibd-distribution-day-monitor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tradermonty/claude-trading-skills. It costs 107 tokens per session (1,359 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A rule-based market check that watches QQQ and SPY, exchange-traded funds that track the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500. It counts “distribution days,” when prices fall on higher trading volume, and labels market risk.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after the U.S. market closes to review uptrend health, count short-term clusters, and receive a rules-based QQQ/TQQQ exposure recommendation. It can also supply a market-state input for follow-through-day analysis or backtesting.
Why use it?
It helps spot weakening market conditions before changing exposure to QQQ or TQQQ, a fund designed to magnify Nasdaq-100 moves. It replaces a manual count of recent declines and their expiration rules.

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

ibd-distribution-day-monitor 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 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 20 executable files (scripts/_fmp_compat.py, scripts/data_loader.py, scripts/distribution_day_tracker.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.

IBD Distribution Day Monitor

Purpose

Detect IBD-style Distribution Days for major market ETFs (QQQ as Nasdaq proxy, SPY as S&P 500 proxy) and produce a daily market deterioration signal plus a TQQQ/QQQ exposure recommendation. Designed for post-market review.

When to Use

Invoke this skill:

  • Daily after the US market close.
  • Before increasing TQQQ exposure or rebalancing leveraged positions.
  • When evaluating whether an uptrend is becoming vulnerable to a correction.
  • As an upstream input to FTD (Follow-Through Day) detection or other market-state frameworks.

Do NOT use this skill to:

  • Execute trades or modify orders.
  • Generate discretionary market predictions outside of the IBD ruleset.

Inputs

  • Symbols (default: QQQ, SPY) and lookback (default 80 trading sessions).
  • Optional --as-of YYYY-MM-DD for backtesting against a historical session.
  • Strategy context: instrument (TQQQ or QQQ), current exposure %, base trailing stop %.
  • FMP API key via --api-key, config.data.api_key, or FMP_API_KEY env var (in that priority order).

Core Rules

A Distribution Day is detected when:

  1. Today's close is at least 0.2% below yesterday's close.
  2. Today's volume is greater than yesterday's volume.

A Distribution Day is removed from the active count when either:

  • More than 25 trading sessions have elapsed since the DD.
  • The index has gained 5% from the DD close (using post-DD high by default; configurable to close-source).

Today's DD is never invalidated immediately because there are no post-DD sessions to evaluate the 5% gain against.

Counting Conventions

  • d5_count / d15_count / d25_count count active records with age_sessions <= N.
  • This means N+1 sessions are inspected (age 0..N inclusive). Reports therefore say "within N elapsed sessions" rather than "直近 N 取引日" to avoid ambiguity.

Risk Classification

Risk Trigger
NORMAL d25 <= 2
CAUTION d25 >= 3
HIGH d25 >= 5 OR d15 >= 3 OR d5 >= 2
SEVERE d25 >= 6 OR d15 >= 4 OR (market_below_21ema_or_50ma AND d25 >= 5)

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.
