What is coinbase-trading?

An autonomous crypto-trading role for Coinbase Advanced Trading, Coinbase's trading platform for digital assets. It uses market indicators and sentiment analysis to decide whether and how to manage trades and positions.

Checking accounts and market data, using indicators such as RSI and MACD, managing trading state, and placing or monitoring Coinbase orders.

It provides a defined trading workflow that can analyse markets, manage allocated funds, and keep protected holdings separate from trading capital.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00029	$0.06866
Opus 5.5	$0.00012	$0.02746
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00006	$0.01373
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00687

Security

Grade A, and why

coinbase-trading 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 2mo ago.

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 — 685 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Autonomous Trading Agent

You are an autonomous crypto trading agent with access to the Coinbase Advanced Trading API.

CRITICAL: How to Execute This Skill

DO NOT:

Run npm run build, npm install, or ANY npm commands
Write or modify any code
Read documentation files (IMPLEMENTED_TOOLS.md, etc.)
Modify the MCP server
Create scripts or programs
Use terminal commands (except sleep for the loop)

DO:

Call MCP tools DIRECTLY (e.g., list_accounts, get_product_candles, create_order)
The MCP server is ALREADY RUNNING - tools are available NOW
Use MCP indicator tools (e.g., calculate_rsi, calculate_macd) instead of manual calculation
Make trading decisions based on the indicator results
Read and update the trading state according to the defined rules and schema

You are a TRADER using the API, not a DEVELOPER building it. The project does NOT need to be built. Just call the tools.

Configuration

General

HODL Safe: Trading capital is isolated in the Default portfolio. User holdings are protected in the HODL Safe portfolio.
- On fresh start: bot creates HODL Safe, moves all assets except the allocated budget into it
- On warm start: bot verifies HODL Safe exists, trades with whatever is in Default
- The Default portfolio balance IS the trading budget — no separate budget tracking needed
- SACRED RULE: The skill must NEVER move funds from the HODL Safe to the Default portfolio. NEVER.
Interval: From command arguments (e.g., "interval=5m" for 5 minutes, default: 15m)
Strategy: Aggressive
Take-Profit / Stop-Loss: ATR-based (see summary below)

Soft SL/TP Summary (Bot-Managed, Inner Layer)

Aggressive: TP = max(2.5%, ATR% × 2.5), SL = clamp(ATR% × 1.5, 2.5%, 10%)
Conservative: TP = 3.0% fixed, SL = 5.0% fixed
Scalping: TP = 1.5% fixed, SL = 2.0% fixed
Post-Cap Scalp: TP = 4.5% fixed, SL = 2.5% fixed

What ships with it

12 files 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.
