pair-trade-screener

pair-trade-screener is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tradermonty/claude-trading-skills. It costs 87 tokens per session (5,134 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for finding pairs of stocks whose prices have historically moved together and may temporarily diverge. Pair trading buys one stock and sells the other to target the difference between them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search for pair-trading opportunities, analyze the price spread, identify possible entry and exit points, and plan market-neutral positions within a sector.
Why use it?
It helps replace guesswork with measurements such as correlation, long-term relationship tests, and z-scores, which show how unusual the current price gap is.

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

pair-trade-screener 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 6 executable files (scripts/analyze_spread.py, scripts/find_pairs.py, scripts/statsmodels_support.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.

Pair Trade Screener

Overview

This skill identifies and analyzes statistical arbitrage opportunities through pair trading. Pair trading is a market-neutral strategy that profits from the relative price movements of two correlated securities, regardless of overall market direction. The skill uses rigorous statistical methods including correlation analysis and cointegration testing to find robust trading pairs.

Core Methodology:

  • Identify pairs of stocks with high correlation and similar sector/industry exposure
  • Test for cointegration (long-term statistical relationship)
  • Calculate spread z-scores to identify mean-reversion opportunities
  • Generate entry/exit signals based on statistical thresholds
  • Provide position sizing for market-neutral exposure

Key Advantages:

  • Market-neutral: Profits in up, down, or sideways markets
  • Risk management: Limited exposure to broad market movements
  • Statistical foundation: Data-driven, not discretionary
  • Diversification: Uncorrelated to traditional long-only strategies

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • User asks for "pair trading opportunities"
  • User wants "market-neutral strategies"
  • User requests "statistical arbitrage screening"
  • User asks "which stocks move together?"
  • User wants to hedge sector exposure
  • User requests mean-reversion trade ideas
  • User asks about relative value trading

Example user requests:

  • "Find pair trading opportunities in the tech sector"
  • "Which stocks are cointegrated?"
  • "Screen for statistical arbitrage opportunities"
  • "Find mean-reversion pairs"
  • "What are good market-neutral trades right now?"

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.9 or newer
  • An FMP API key with access to the company screener and historical-price endpoints
  • statsmodels>=0.14,<0.15 for ADF and autoregression calculations

Set the API key without placing it on the command line or in a committed file:

export FMP_API_KEY="<fmp-api-key>"

Run the scripts from the repository root with the statistical dependency isolated to the command:
