What it does

Scalping is an agent skill from Superior-Trade/superior-skills. Use when writing a high-turnover intraday strategy on Superior Trade — anything described as scalping, momentum bursts, fast in/out, RSI thrust, volume spike entry, 5-minute strategy. Note this template was unprofitable in our reference backtest (33% WR, -0.34%); use it as a structural template, not a recommendation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Trading and backtesting. The repository describes itself as: Open agent skills and tool schemas for Superior Trade — build, backtest, and deploy trading strategies on Hyperliquid. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing a high-turnover intraday strategy on Superior Trade — anything described as scalping
  • Momentum bursts
  • Volume spike entry
  • 5-minute strategy

Example prompts

  • “/scalping”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. No regime filter: enters in chop AND in trend. Chop kills the 0.6% target before it hits.
  2. Entry on overbought + thrust: RSI > 70 plus high volume usually marks a local top, not a continuation. Inverting (rsi < 30 + vol_thrust >…
  3. Single pair: Scalping edges thin out on a single asset. Top-30 perp scan with VolumePairList increases hit count, lets the law of large…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9d41db5. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python and json).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Scalping loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 412 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

Strategy: Scalp · Momentum Bursts

When to use

A user asks for a scalping strategy, "fast in/out", "5m strategy", "ride the thrust", "buy when volume spikes". Single-pair, tight stops, time-stopped trades.

Honest framing

The reference backtest below was unprofitable (33% WR, −0.34% PnL, Sharpe −5.6) on SOL 5m over April 2026. The strategy executes correctly — it's not broken — it's just a losing parameter set on this window. The 0.6% target / 0.4% stop ratio needs ~41% hit rate to break even before fees, which the entry filter didn't deliver. Do not deploy as-is. Tune the entry threshold and validate before recommending to a user.

This skill exists as a structural template for high-turnover momentum entries. Real edge requires parameter search, regime filtering, or a different signal.

Why this loses (and how to fix)

Three structural issues in the reference parameters:

  1. No regime filter: enters in chop AND in trend. Chop kills the 0.6% target before it hits.
  2. Entry on overbought + thrust: RSI > 70 plus high volume usually marks a local top, not a continuation. Inverting (rsi < 30 + vol_thrust > 2.0) for a fade entry is worth testing.
  3. Single pair: Scalping edges thin out on a single asset. Top-30 perp scan with VolumePairList increases hit count, lets the law of large numbers help.

Practical refinements before suggesting to a user:

  • Add a higher-timeframe trend filter (1h close > 1h ema_50).
  • Use ATR-scaled stops instead of fixed 0.4%.
  • Test the inverted (mean-reversion-on-thrust) variant.

Common pitfalls

  1. Slippage eats the edge. A 0.6% target on a 5m candle leaves ~3 ticks of room. With Hyperliquid taker fee + slippage, effective edge is closer to 0.4% — barely above the stop. See fees-optimizations.
  2. startup_candle_count too low. The 288-bar VWAP needs 288 bars of warmup; default 30 produces NaN VWAP for the first 24h.
  3. Single-pair scalping is undercapitalized signal. 76 trades / 30 days is fine for statistics, not for an edge.
