Wyckoff Trading Agent

This skill operates in two modes: Setup (Step 0) and Analysis (Steps 1–9). Step 0 runs only when prerequisites are missing; once everything is configured, jump directly to analysis.

Step 0: Environment Detection & Guided Setup

Run these checks in order. Stop at the first failure and guide the user to fix it before continuing.

0.1 CLI Installation Check

Run wyckoff --version.

• Success → proceed to 0.2.
• Failure → guide installation:

  pip install youngcan-wyckoff-analysis
  

  Or one-line install:

  curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/YoungCan-Wang/Wyckoff-Analysis/main/install.sh | bash
  

  After install, verify with wyckoff --version again.

0.2 Auth Check

Run wyckoff auth status.

• Logged in → proceed to 0.3. (Credentials are auto-saved; token expiry triggers automatic re-login.)
• Not logged in → guide registration and login:
  1. Tell user to open https://wyckoff-analysis.pages.dev/ to register an account.
  2. After registration, run: wyckoff auth login <email> <password> (credentials will be persisted, no need to login again).
  3. Verify with wyckoff auth status.

0.3 Data Source Check

Run wyckoff config show.

• tushare_token present → OK.
• tushare_token missing → guide:
  • Tushare token is free, get it from https://tushare.pro/ after registration.
  • Then run: wyckoff config tushare <token>
• tickflow_api_key present → OK.
• tickflow_api_key missing → guide:
  • TickFlow provides real-time and historical A-share data.
  • Purchase at: https://tickflow.org/auth/register?ref=5N4NKTCPL4
  • Then run: wyckoff config tickflow <api_key>

Note: At least one data source (tushare or tickflow) must be configured. Both are recommended for better coverage.

0.4 Model Check

Run wyckoff model list.

• Has models → proceed to Step 1.
• No models → guide: wyckoff model add (interactive) or wyckoff model set <name> <provider> <api_key> --model <model_name>.

0.5 MCP Server Setup (Optional — Ask User)

After all checks pass, ask the user whether they want to register the Wyckoff MCP Server with their AI tools (Claude Code / Cursor / etc.).

• User says yes → guide:

  pip install "youngcan-wyckoff-analysis[mcp]"
  claude mcp add wyckoff -- wyckoff-mcp
  

  Once registered, the MCP client can directly call 14 Wyckoff tools (diagnose_stock, screen_stocks, get_signal_pending, etc.) without going through the CLI TUI.

  If the user uses a non-Claude MCP client, guide them to add this to their MCP config:

  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "wyckoff": {
        "command": "wyckoff-mcp",
        "env": {
          "TUSHARE_TOKEN": "<token_from_wyckoff.json>",
          "TICKFLOW_API_KEY": "<key_from_wyckoff.json>"
        }
      }
    }
  }
  

  Credentials already saved in wyckoff.json are also auto-read by the MCP server, so env vars are optional if wyckoff login + wyckoff config have been run.

• User says no / skip → proceed directly to analysis.

When all checks pass, print a brief summary and proceed to analysis.

CLI Operational Commands

When the user's intent is operational (not analysis), route directly to the appropriate CLI command instead of running the analysis pipeline:

Intent	Command
View portfolio	wyckoff portfolio list
Add position	wyckoff portfolio add <code> <shares> <cost>
Remove position	wyckoff portfolio rm <code>
Set cash	wyckoff portfolio cash <amount>
View signals	wyckoff signal
View recommendations	wyckoff recommend
Screen market	wyckoff screen
Run backtest	wyckoff backtest <code>
Generate report	wyckoff report <codes>
Launch dashboard	wyckoff dashboard
View chat logs	wyckoff log
Manage memory	wyckoff memory
Sync cloud data	wyckoff sync
Cleanup local data	wyckoff cleanup
Update CLI	wyckoff update
Register MCP Server	pip install "youngcan-wyckoff-analysis[mcp]" && claude mcp add wyckoff -- wyckoff-mcp

For the full CLI reference, see rules/cli-setup-guide.md.

Input Protocol

Accept any combination of:

• Stock symbol(s), single or multiple.
• holdings: [symbol+cost+qty, ...].
• cash: available cash amount.
• candidate: optional non-holding symbol.
• CSV file(s), image(s), text constraints/goals.

Infer scenario automatically:

• holdings non-empty + candidate: rotation comparison + per-holding actions.
• holdings non-empty + no candidate: per-holding add/reduce/hold/exit.
• holdings empty + cash: empty-position cash deployment.
• No portfolio fields: symbol analysis flow.

Do not require users to explicitly say "switch/add/reduce/empty-position."

Full Capability Orchestration (Steps 1–9, Required Order)

1. Parse and normalize inputs.

   • Normalize symbols to exchange-qualified format when possible.
   • Parse holdings into {symbol, cost, qty}.
   • Preserve raw user inputs for output audit.

2. Acquire current time via system/tool first.

   • Fetch current timestamp from tool/system.
   • Convert to Asia/Shanghai.
   • Print 当前北京时间：YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM（UTC+8）.

3. Decide trading availability with authoritative calendar checks.

   • Judge weekday and continuous-auction windows: 09:30-11:30, 13:00-15:00 (Beijing time).
   • Query authoritative trading calendar when holiday/adjusted-workday uncertainty exists.
   • If not tradable, downgrade to post-market review + next-session plan + T+1-safe order strategy.

4. Fetch online data with source fallback.

   • Follow rules/source-fallbacks.md strictly for each symbol.
   • Perform schema and row-count validation before accepting a source.
   • Log fallback attempts and final source per symbol.

5. Integrate CSV/image modalities when provided.

   • Use CSV as supplemental historical structure input and reconcile with fetched data.
   • Treat chart images as micro-structure evidence; explicitly acknowledge image reception.
   • Continue analysis if one modality fails and state exact failure cause.

6. Run Wyckoff structural analysis first.

   • Analyze latest available window (target 500 trading days) with MA50/MA200.
   • Identify only evidenced phases/events (SC/ST/Spring/LPS/SOS/UTAD).
   • Use event-date news search only for validation context, never as primary trade logic.

7. Produce portfolio decisions after structure analysis.

   • For each holding, output one explicit action: add / reduce / hold / exit.
   • If candidate exists, compare against structurally weakest current holding and decide switch / partial switch / hold.
   • If holdings are empty and cash exists, output staged cash deployment suggestion.

8. Render plots only when session rules allow.

   • Skip plotting during tradable intraday windows.
   • When plotting is allowed, enforce all constraints in rules/alpha-system-prompt.md.

9. Apply capability degrade policy.

   • Never fabricate OHLCV rows, event timestamps, or trading status.
   • If all sources fail for a symbol, mark data_unavailable and continue others.
   • If valid rows < 30, report insufficient structure depth and avoid hard phase labels.
   • If image parsing fails, explain reason and continue CSV/text/online path.

For detailed capability-routing policy, read rules/system-capability-playbook.md.

Fixed Output Contract

Always output in this order:

1. 当前北京时间：YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM（UTC+8）
2. Trading verdict: 当前是否可盘中交易：是/否 (with reason if no).
3. Data audit table per symbol: symbol, source_used, rows_kept, window_end_date, fallback_count.
4. Wyckoff analysis: current cycle background and phase (only evidenced), key events with rationale, action boundaries respecting T+1.
5. Portfolio action section (portfolio flow only): holdings snapshot, per-holding actions, candidate comparison, cash suggestion, final summary in Wyckoff tone.
6. Plotting section (only when allowed by session rules).

Hard Constraints

• Do not change the fixed prompt wording unless explicitly requested.
• Do not fabricate missing OHLCV rows.
• Do not ignore image input if image is parseable.
• Do not use opaque white text boxes in chart annotations.
• If fetching data requires running Python scripts, run them only in a sandboxed environment.
• Prefer direct web/API fetch first; use Python scripts only when needed for fallback, parsing, or normalization.
