HFT Paper Trader — Autonomous Crypto Framework

High-frequency paper trading framework for crypto. Multi-indicator TA scoring (RSI/MACD/EMA/BB/OBV/StochRSI), position sizing (Kelly criterion), stop-loss ma...

Security Scan

The skill claims to be a full HFT paper-trading framework but provides only a short README-style SKILL.md with no code, binaries, install steps, or clear runtime instructions — that mismatch is suspicious and you should not assume it is runnable or safe.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description promise a complete HFT paper-trading framework (multi-indicator TA engine, Kelly sizing, ledger, auto-pause, 300+ trades/day). However there are no code files, no install spec, no required binaries, and no declared environment variables. A legitimate framework would normally include code or a clear install/runtime plan; this skill provides none, which is incoherent with its stated capabilities.

Instruction Scope

The SKILL.md is high-level and vague: it references a 'hft-paper-trader' tool and Binance public API but gives no concrete commands, endpoints, or code. It tells the agent to 'Use hft-paper-trader' without specifying how. That grants the agent broad discretion (it could try to invent, download, or execute code) and is insufficient as a runtime instruction set.

Install Mechanism

There is no install spec (instruction-only). This is low technical risk by itself, but unexpected for a capability that claims complex, high-throughput behaviour — the absence of any code or install instructions is itself a red flag about whether the skill is what it claims to be.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials. That could be legitimate if it only reads public market data, but a real paper-trading HFT framework often needs API keys (for paper/polygon/testnet endpoints or exchange test APIs), configuration, or persistent storage details. The lack of declared secrets or config is disproportionate to the described functionality.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request persistent privileges (always:false), does not modify other skills, and has no install actions. There is no evidence it will persist or escalate privileges on its own.

What to consider before installing

This SKILL.md looks like a README, not runnable code. Do not install it expecting an out-of-the-box HFT simulator. Before trusting it, ask the publisher for: 1) the actual implementation files or a reproducible install/run procedure; 2) specific Binance endpoints used and whether any API keys or testnet credentials are required; 3) a verifiable homepage or source repository and author identity; 4) exact file IO behavior (where PORTFOLIO.json / LEDGER.csv are stored); and 5) whether the agent will be allowed to autonomously fetch/run external code. If you cannot obtain those, treat the skill as documentation only and avoid giving it autonomous execution rights or any secrets.
