--- id: tradermonty-trading-skills name: Claude Trading Skills (tradermonty) summary: A collection of 72 Claude skills for individual equity traders, chained into 11 workflow manifests covering market-regime checks, screening, position sizing, risk gates, journaling and postmortems. authors: [tradermonty] origin: external repo: https://github.com/tradermonty/claude-trading-skills website: https://tradermonty.github.io/claude-trading-skills/ license: MIT targets: [claude-code, claude-app] tags: [claude-skills, swing-trading, screening, position-sizing, trade-journal] markets: [equities] added: 2026-08-17 prerequisites: trading: moderate ai: basic programming: basic setup: basic --- > Part of [Athenara](https://athenara.info/), the open registry for agentic trading. > Index of everything: https://athenara.info/llms.txt · This entry: [HTML](https://athenara.info/skills/tradermonty-trading-skills/) · [JSON](https://athenara.info/api/v1/skills/tradermonty-trading-skills.json) The repository ships exactly 72 skills, each with its own `SKILL.md` under `skills//`, plus 72 prebuilt `.skill` archives under `skill-packages/` for upload into the Claude app. A canonical `skills-index.yaml` catalogues all of them across eight categories: market-regime (16), strategy-research (14), swing-opportunity (7), trade-planning (7), advanced-satellite (7), core-portfolio (6), trade-memory (6) and meta (9). Eleven machine-readable manifests under `workflows/` chain skills into routines such as market-regime-daily, core-portfolio-weekly, swing-opportunity-daily, trade-memory-loop and monthly-performance-review. Installation is a copy: drop a `skills//` folder into `~/.claude/skills/` for personal use or `.claude/skills/` inside a project, or upload the matching `.skill` ZIP under Customize > Skills in the Claude app. A documented no-paid-API starter path runs five skills on public CSVs and local files — market-breadth-analyzer, uptrend-analyzer, position-sizer (pure calculation, no I/O), trader-memory-core (local YAML journaling) and signal-postmortem. Beyond that, optional paid integrations are itemised per skill in a README table: Financial Modeling Prep (free tier of 250 requests/day), FINVIZ Elite ($39.50/month or $299.50/year) and Alpaca (free paper trading, via an MCP server); many skills need none. The project states its own limits plainly — "This is not a signal service or a promise of profitability", it "is not designed for fully automated trading, signal outsourcing, or short-term scalping", and past performance, backtests, screens and AI-generated analysis do not guarantee future results. Skill quality is self-declared, not demonstrated. The index labels 58 skills "production" and 14 "beta", but its per-skill verification block covers eight dimensions — instruction contract, unit tests, workflow contract, end-to-end replay, data provenance, financial logic review, empirical validation and security review — and across all 72 skills every field reads either `not_verified` (383) or `not_applicable` (81). No skill has any dimension marked verified. The author is pseudonymous: the GitHub handle carries no real name, bio or company, and the LICENSE copyright line reads "TraderMonty"; that LICENSE file is unambiguous MIT, while the README's own License section only says the material is "provided for educational and research purposes". Several skills are meta-tooling (skill-designer, skill-idea-miner, trading-skills-navigator) or personal workflows rather than trading, so the effective trading-skill count is below 72. Development is active — last commit 2026-08-12, with 2,649 stars, 615 forks and 24+ contributors as of 2026-08-17.
