parabolic-short-trade-planner

parabolic-short-trade-planner is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tradermonty/claude-trading-skills. It costs 122 tokens per session (2,267 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for finding US stocks showing a sharp, potentially exhausted price rise and preparing conditional short-sale plans. It checks daily data, short availability, short-sale restriction status, and live five-minute price bars, but never sends orders.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to screen for parabolic exhaustion patterns, create pre-market short watchlists, and monitor whether planned intraday triggers occur.
Why use it?
It turns a large stock list into scored candidates and rules for possible entries, stops, and position sizes. A trader can review the resulting plans before deciding whether to act.

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

parabolic-short-trade-planner 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 42 executable files (scripts/_fmp_compat.py, scripts/_market_calendar.py, scripts/adapters/__init__.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 188 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Overview

Generate Qullamaggie-style Parabolic Short watchlists and conditional pre-market plans for US equities. The skill never sends orders. It emits JSON + Markdown that a human reviews against their broker before entry.

Three phases:

  • Phase 1 (screen_parabolic.py): pulls EOD bars + company profile from FMP, applies hard invalidation rules (mode-aware), scores survivors on 5 factors (weights 30/25/20/15/10), and assigns A/B/C/D grades.
  • Phase 2 (generate_pre_market_plan.py): takes the Phase 1 JSON, filters by --tradable-min-grade (default B), checks Alpaca short inventory (or ManualBrokerAdapter), evaluates SEC Rule 201 SSR state from the inherited prior-day close, and renders three trigger plans per candidate.
  • Phase 3 (monitor_intraday_trigger.py): reads the Phase 2 plan, fetches 5-min bars (Alpaca live or fixture), walks each plan's FSM forward by one step, persists per-plan state, and writes an intraday_monitor JSON with state, entry_actual, stop_actual, and shares_actual (when triggered). One-shot — trader runs it every 1–5 min via watch or cron; replay-deterministic so re-runs are byte-identical.

When to Use

Invoke this skill when the user wants to:

  • Build a daily Parabolic Short watchlist from S&P 500 (or a custom CSV).
  • Translate a watchlist into pre-market trade plans with explicit borrow / SSR / state-cap gating.
  • Audit a candidate's blocking vs advisory manual-confirmation reasons before placing an order at Alpaca.

Do NOT invoke for:

  • Long-side momentum screening — use vcp-screener or canslim-screener.
  • 1-minute / sub-minute intraday signals — Phase 3 evaluates 5-min bars only.
  • Live order routing — this skill is detection-only by design; Phase 3 emits a triggered state with concrete entry/stop/share count, but the trader fires the order manually.

Workflow

Phase 1 — daily screener

  1. Confirm FMP_API_KEY is set (env var or --api-key).
  2. Run with the safer-by-default mode:
    python3 skills/parabolic-short-trade-planner/scripts/screen_parabolic.py \
      --mode safe_largecap --as-of 2026-04-30 --output-dir reports/
    
  3. Inspect reports/parabolic_short_<date>.md — the watchlist is grouped by grade (A→D).
  4. Promote interesting names to Phase 2.

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.
