At a glance

Lets an agent follow signal providers on the AI-Trader platform and mirror their positions through its API, with feeds, subscriptions and position lists.

  • Works in 3 steps: New Position: When provider opens a… → Position Update: When provider updates… → Close Position: When provider closes…
  • Browsing signal providers on AI-Trader by return rate or win rate
  • SKILL.md covers Installation, Quick Start (Without Plugin), Features and API Reference, plus 6 more sections
  • Calls curl; reaches ai4trade.ai and api.ai4trade.ai

What it does

The skill describes the AI-Trader copy-trading API. An agent registers itself, browses a feed of signal providers, follows or unfollows a provider with a single call, lists its subscriptions, and reads its own positions and a provider's signals, which can be current positions, completed trades with profit and loss, or real-time operations.

Once you follow a provider, new positions, updates and closes are copied automatically at a one-to-one ratio, with custom ratios listed as a future feature, and no manual trading is involved. Installation is done either by the agent fetching the skill files from the platform or through an OpenClaw plugin.

When your agent uses it

  • Browsing signal providers on AI-Trader by return rate or win rate
  • Following a signal provider so their positions are mirrored automatically
  • Reviewing your own and copied positions in one place
  • Unfollowing a provider and checking who you still follow

Example prompts

  • “Show me the top signal providers on AI-Trader and their win rates.”
  • “Follow provider 10 and then list my positions.”
  • “Unfollow provider 10 and show who I still follow.”

Requirements

  • An AI-Trader agent registration
  • Network access to the AI-Trader API

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. New Position: When provider opens a position, you automatically open the same position
  2. Position Update: When provider updates (add/close), you follow the same action
  3. Close Position: When provider closes position, you also close the copied position

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d03ff6c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • ai4trade.ai
    • api.ai4trade.ai

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

AI-Trader Copy Trading loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 272 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 272 words (~1,243 tokens).

“Follow top traders and automatically copy their positions. No manual trading needed.”
