What it does

Generating Trading Signals is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Generate trading signals using technical indicators (RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, etc.). Combines multiple indicators into composite signals with confidence scores. Use when analyzing assets for trading opportunities or checking technical indicators. Trigger with phrases like "get trading signals", "check indicators", "analyze for entry", "scan for opportunities", "generate buy/sell signals", or "technical analysis".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `config/settings.yaml`, `references/errors.md` and `references/examples.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Trading and backtesting. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Analyzing assets for trading opportunities
  • Checking technical indicators
  • With phrases like get trading signals
  • Check indicators

Example prompts

  • “get trading signals”
  • “check indicators”
  • “analyze for entry”
  • “/generating-trading-signals”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash(python:*)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Quick signal scan across multiple assets
  2. Detailed signal analysis for a specific symbol
  3. Filter and rank the best opportunities
  4. Use predefined watchlists

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Bash(python:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • pip

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Generating Trading Signals loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 112 tokens; SKILL.md has 281 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~112
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.9k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Generating Trading Signals

Overview

Multi-indicator signal generation system that analyzes price action using 7 technical indicators and produces composite BUY/SELL signals with confidence scores and risk management levels.

Indicators: RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Trend (SMA 20/50/200), Volume, Stochastic Oscillator, ADX.

Prerequisites

Install required dependencies:

bash
set -euo pipefail
pip install yfinance pandas numpy

Optional for visualization: pip install matplotlib

Instructions

  1. Quick signal scan across multiple assets:

    bash
    python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --watchlist crypto_top10 --period 6m

    Output shows signal type (STRONG_BUY/BUY/NEUTRAL/SELL/STRONG_SELL) and confidence per asset.

  2. Detailed signal analysis for a specific symbol:

    bash
    python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --symbols BTC-USD --detail

    Shows each indicator's individual signal, value, and reasoning.

  3. Filter and rank the best opportunities:

    bash
    # Only buy signals with 70%+ confidence
    python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --filter buy --min-confidence 70 --rank confidence
    
    # Save results to JSON
    python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --output signals.json
  4. Use predefined watchlists:

    bash
    python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --list-watchlists
    python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --watchlist crypto_defi

    Available: crypto_top10, crypto_defi, crypto_layer2, stocks_tech, etfs_major

Output

The scanner produces a summary table with symbol, signal type, confidence %, price, and stop loss for each asset scanned. Detailed mode adds per-indicator breakdowns with risk management levels (stop loss, take profit, risk/reward ratio).

Signal types: STRONG_BUY (+2), BUY (+1), NEUTRAL (0), SELL (-1), STRONG_SELL (-2)

Confidence ranges: 70-100% high conviction | 50-70% moderate | 30-50% weak | 0-30% avoid

See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation.md for full output format examples and signal type tables.

Error Handling

Examples

Morning crypto scan - Check all top-10 crypto assets for entry opportunities:

bash
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --watchlist crypto_top10 --period 6m

Deep dive on Bitcoin - Full indicator breakdown with risk management levels:

bash
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --symbols BTC-USD --detail

Find strongest DeFi buy signals - Filter and rank by confidence:

bash
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --watchlist crypto_defi --filter buy --rank confidence

Export results - Save to JSON for automated pipeline or further analysis:

bash
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --watchlist crypto_top10 --output signals.json
