openclaw skills install paper-testPaper trading (simulated) for CN/HK/US equities — place/cancel orders, query balance and positions, order/fill history, market session status. Quotes via Stocki gateway.
openclaw skills install paper-testPaper trading for CN / HK / US equities. The skill wraps a locally-spawned
paper-trading service; the service is auto-started on first use. Orders,
positions, and fills are simulated — not a live brokerage account.
This file instructs the Agent. Do not quote implementation details
(tokens, ports, file paths, script names) to the user unless they are
explicitly troubleshooting via INSTALL.md.
Use this skill when the user wants simulated trading — place or cancel orders, check balance/positions/P&L, order or fill history, market session status.
Do NOT use for real-money brokerage execution or personalized buy/sell recommendations.
Never fabricate balances, positions, fills, or order states. If a value is missing or the service is down, say so.
Paper only. Remind the user when relevant that fills are simulated and not investment advice.
All API calls go through scripts/_http.py Client() — do not hand-build
curl with a fixed port or read auth material for the user.
Client() reads state/port (lifecycle may pick
8000–8010). Do not hardcode :8000 in user-visible text.Client() reads state/token and sends Bearer automatically.
Never ask the user for this token or mention PAPER_TRADING_TOKEN.auth in config/main.yaml selects credentials:
bearer: STOCKI_GATEWAY_URL + STOCKI_API_KEY (export / SkillHub)none: STOCKI_GATEWAY_URL only (private gateway, auth: none)
Precedence: process env → optional skill-root .env. Never paste API keys in chat.application/json for POST bodies.{"error": {"code", "message", "recovery_hint", ...}}.
_http.py maps recovery_hint — see Error handling.Decide which reference to consult by user intent. Each rule names the reference file containing the contract, error mapping, and worked examples.
R1 — place order. Triggers: "买", "卖", "buy", "sell", "下单",
"place order", "market buy", "limit sell". → references/place-order.md.
Calls POST /v1/orders via scripts/_http.py.
R2 — cancel order. Triggers: "撤单", "取消", "cancel", "撤掉".
→ references/cancel-order.md. Calls DELETE /v1/orders/{order_id}.
R3 — account state. Triggers: "余额", "持仓", "盈亏", "balance",
"positions", "P&L". → references/account-state.md. Calls
GET /v1/accounts/{id} and GET /v1/accounts/{id}/positions.
R4 — order history. Triggers: "历史订单", "查订单 ord_xxx",
"order history", "list orders". → references/order-history.md.
GET /v1/accounts/{id}/orders, GET /v1/orders/{id}.
R5 — fills. Triggers: "成交", "fills", "成交记录".
→ references/fill-history.md. GET /v1/accounts/{id}/fills.
R6 — market status. Triggers: "市场", "开盘", "收盘", "market status",
"open?". → references/market-status.md. GET /v1/capabilities and
GET /v1/markets/{m}/status.
R7 — service troubleshooting. Triggers: "起不来", "没响应",
"restart trading", "service status". → references/troubleshooting.md.
Calls python3 scripts/lifecycle.py {start|stop|status|logs}.
R8 — events / reconnect. Triggers: "重连", "事件", "replay", "events".
→ references/events.md. GET /v1/events?since=<id>.
R9 — symbol metadata / lot-size discipline. Triggers: "一手", "最小买",
"tick", "T+1 吗", "lot size", "minimum order"; OR any time the user-provided
qty isn't obviously lot-aligned for the market (CN MAIN 100, STAR/CHINEXT
200+, HK varies, US 1); OR after a prior order rejected with
INVALID_LOT_SIZE / INVALID_TICK_SIZE / SYMBOL_METADATA_UNAVAILABLE.
→ references/symbols.md. GET /v1/symbols/{symbol}. Round qty
locally and resubmit; do not surface INVALID_LOT_SIZE to the user when
you could round and proceed. Report original → rounded if you change it.
Apply when intent is ambiguous. Later rules override earlier ones.
status=WORKING) first, then R2.sellable = qty - qty_pending_t1 - qty_locked_sell).NO_ASK_LIQUIDITY / NO_BID_LIQUIDITY) → explain limit lock; suggest LIMIT (R1).recovery_hint=reconcile → R8, then retry the original action.Mutating calls (R1 place-order, R2 cancel-order) require user confirmation by default. Before sending the POST/DELETE, echo a one-line summary that includes side, quantity, symbol, type, price (if LIMIT), and account:
"即将下单:BUY 100 600519.SH MARKET (account: acc_default),确认?"
Read-only calls (R3–R6, R8, R9) never require confirmation.
If the user's trade request itself contains any of these phrases, skip the confirmation for that single call:
"不要确认" "直接下单" "立即买入" "立即卖出" "skip confirm" "no confirm" "just do it"
Skip is per-call, not session-wide. The next trade request without the phrase requires confirmation again.
When relaying API results to the user, translate implementation detail into
plain language. Follow the same hygiene as stocki-financial-reader.
| Category | Do not show | Show instead |
|---|---|---|
| Secrets | state/token, Bearer headers, API key values, .env contents | nothing, or "local auth is configured" |
| Network | 127.0.0.1, port numbers, /v1/health URLs | "local simulator" / "service unavailable" |
| Storage | SQLite paths, data/, state/, logs/ | "records stored on this machine" |
| Config | yaml URL fields, risk.max_working_orders | env vars; limits in plain words |
| Errors | recovery_hint, raw JSON, HTTP status alone | translated message + next step |
| Field names | qty_pending_t1, qty_locked_sell, floating_pnl | sellable qty, T+1 lock, unrealized P&L |
Required: label simulated on first balance/trade touch in a session;
distinguish open (WORKING) vs filled vs cancelled/rejected/expired;
do not invent P&L when quote is missing; no buy/sell/hold advice.
Unless the user specifies an account, all R1–R5 calls target acc_default.
Power users may add accounts in config/accounts.yaml; in that case ask
the user which account they mean if it is not obvious from context.
This skill expects exchange-coded symbols: 600519.SH, 00700.HK,
AAPL.US. If the user gives a natural-language name ("茅台"), ask for the
exchange code. If another name-resolver skill is installed in the environment,
you may use it once, then continue with the returned code — this skill does
not require any specific reader skill.
The local paper-trading process is auto-started on first _http.py call.
The user need not invoke start manually. For diagnostics:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/doctor.py
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/diagnose.py
R7 covers explicit lifecycle.py start | stop | status | logs. In normal
chat, report outcomes only — do not ask the user to run lifecycle commands.
Before auto-starting for the very first time, check whether accounts have been configured:
python3 -c "from scripts.init import is_first_run; print(is_first_run())"
If True, this is the first run and initial cash has not been set yet.
Before proceeding, show the user the defaults and ask for confirmation:
即将初始化模拟账户,默认初始资金:
- CNY(人民币):10,000,000 元
- HKD(港币):10,000,000 元
- USD(美元):50,000,000 元
是否调整?(直接回复"确认"或给出修改后的金额)
Once the user confirms (or provides custom amounts), write accounts.yaml and then proceed with the normal autostart:
python3 -c "
from pathlib import Path; from scripts.init import write_accounts_yaml
write_accounts_yaml(Path('.'), cny=<CNY>, hkd=<HKD>, usd=<USD>)
"
Important constraint: initial cash is a one-time setting. After the
service starts for the first time, accounts are seeded from accounts.yaml
into the local database. Subsequent edits to accounts.yaml have no effect —
changing initial cash after first start requires resetting the simulation,
which permanently deletes all trade history. Warn the user clearly if they ask
to change initial cash after the service has already run. Do not mention
accounts.yaml or SQLite in the user dialog — use the prompt above only.
_http.py maps trading-assistant error recovery_hint (agent-internal —
do not expose hint names to the user):
message; ask the user to correctDUPLICATE_CLIENT_ORDER_ID returns the existing order — treat as success.
SERVICE_UNREACHABLE means autostart already tried; run R7 (doctor /
lifecycle) silently, then tell the user the simulator is temporarily
unreachable and you are fixing it.
Run before reporting setup issues:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/doctor.py
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/diagnose.py
Report exit code 0/1 and the one-line status if failed — do not paste token or path details from the output.
