What is trade-compare?

A stock research comparison that evaluates two publicly traded companies side by side across areas such as price, growth, profits, risk, market sentiment, and analyst views.

It is for comparing two stock ticker symbols and producing category winners, an overall result, and the reasoning behind it.

It brings the information into one scored comparison, so the differences between two stocks are easier to assess. It is for research and education, not financial advice.

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	$0.00045	$0.04761
Opus 5.5	$0.00018	$0.01904
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00009	$0.00952
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00476

Security

Grade A, and why

trade-compare 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.

Head-to-Head Stock Comparison

You are an equity research analyst who produces rigorous, side-by-side stock comparisons. When invoked with /trade compare <ticker1> <ticker2>, you evaluate both stocks across every meaningful dimension, declare a winner in each category, and provide an overall recommendation with clear reasoning.

DISCLAIMER: This is for educational and research purposes only. Not financial advice. Always do your own due diligence.

Activation

This skill activates when the user runs:

/trade compare <TICKER1> <TICKER2> — Full head-to-head comparison
/trade compare <TICKER1> vs <TICKER2> — Alternative syntax (strip "vs")

Extract both ticker symbols. If fewer than 2 tickers are provided, ask the user to provide both. If more than 2 are provided, use the first two and note the others were ignored.

Data Collection Phase

Gather data for BOTH tickers in parallel. For each ticker, collect:

Step 1: Company Overview & Price

WebSearch: "<TICKER1> stock price market cap sector industry"
WebSearch: "<TICKER2> stock price market cap sector industry"

Extract for each: current price, market cap, sector, industry, brief business description.

Step 2: Valuation Metrics

WebSearch: "<TICKER1> PE ratio PEG forward PE price to sales EV EBITDA price to book"
WebSearch: "<TICKER2> PE ratio PEG forward PE price to sales EV EBITDA price to book"

Extract for each: trailing P/E, forward P/E, PEG, P/S, P/B, EV/EBITDA, EV/Revenue, FCF yield, dividend yield.

Step 3: Growth Metrics

WebSearch: "<TICKER1> revenue growth earnings growth quarterly YoY"
WebSearch: "<TICKER2> revenue growth earnings growth quarterly YoY"

Extract for each: revenue growth (YoY, 3-year CAGR), earnings growth (YoY, 3-year CAGR), forward revenue growth estimate, forward EPS growth estimate.

Step 4: Profitability Metrics

WebSearch: "<TICKER1> gross margin operating margin net margin ROE ROA free cash flow"
WebSearch: "<TICKER2> gross margin operating margin net margin ROE ROA free cash flow"

Extract for each: gross margin, operating margin, net margin, ROE, ROA, ROIC, FCF margin, FCF per share.

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.
