Sim Trading MVP

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

This is a coherent simulated-trading skill, but users should notice its optional recurring cron automation, local persistent trading logs/preferences, and possible Finnhub API key use.

Before installing, decide whether you want cron automation, verify the project file paths, keep any Finnhub key in private local configuration, and remember this is for simulated trading rather than real brokerage execution.

Findings (4)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

If the user enables automation, the agent may keep making simulated trading decisions and updating local logs on a schedule.

Why it was flagged

The skill documents recurring scheduled agent jobs that can continue running after setup.

Skill content
Use four jobs on US trading days (`America/New_York`): ... `pre_or_open` ... `intraday` ... `near_close` ... `postmarket_sync`
Recommendation

Only enable cron if you want recurring automation; inspect existing jobs first and remove or update them when you no longer want the workflow.

What this means

Local project files may contain trading preferences, temperament/style notes, positions, watchlists, and historical decisions that influence later agent behavior.

Why it was flagged

The skill stores personalized trading style and user preference context for reuse across sessions.

Skill content
write the resulting style into the local project/account files
Recommendation

Keep the project directory private, review stored account/style files periodically, and edit or delete stale preferences if they should not guide future decisions.

What this means

A market-data API key may be used by the local runtime for quotes and benchmarks.

Why it was flagged

The workflow may need a Finnhub market-data credential, though it instructs users to keep the key outside public skill files.

Skill content
Store API keys outside the skill itself, for example in a local project `.env` or another secret-bearing runtime configuration.
Recommendation

Use a least-privilege market-data key, store it only in private local configuration, and do not paste it into reports, logs, SKILL.md, or shared repositories.

What this means

Users have less context for verifying the publisher, history, or upstream maintenance of the skill.

Why it was flagged

The registry metadata does not provide an upstream source or homepage for independent provenance review.

Skill content
Source: unknown; Homepage: none
Recommendation

Review the included files before use and prefer a known source or publisher if provenance is important for your environment.
