Market Pulse Wingman

Market risk co-pilot for equities. Use when you need to scan a watchlist for technical context, fresh headlines, and operational/security red flags, then log a disciplined trading recommendation with follow-up notes.

Overview

Use this skill when the user wants a fast but disciplined read on one or more tickers. It blends the day-trading workflow (trend, catalysts, sizing) with a security-auditor pass over current headlines and finally writes a short log entry for the self-improvement tracker.

Quick start

1. Collect context from the user:
   • Tickers (and optional notes: position size, time horizon, risk tolerance)
   • Any data they already have (price, % change, headlines). If nothing is provided, ask for a watchlist snapshot or proceed with publicly available info.
2. For each ticker, run the structured workflow below and append the result.
3. End with a log template (filled out or ready for the user to confirm).

Workflow per ticker

1. Baseline snapshot
   • Price, daily % change, volume vs. average, ATR/volatility context, near-term catalysts (earnings date, macro event, options expiry).
   • Mention trend bias (e.g., above/below 20/50 EMA, range-bound) using day-trading-skill language.
2. Risk + headline sweep
   • Scan recent news or user-provided headlines for OWASP/security/operational issues: breaches, lawsuits, product recalls, downgrades, exec exits.
   • Tag the severity (⚠️ moderate risk, 🚨 major risk) and cite the source + timestamp.
3. Bot recommendation
   • Combine technical + risk view into one clear nudge: e.g., "Trim size into earnings," "Allowed to add on pullbacks," "Stand aside until breach story is verified."
   • Include a quick contingency (“invalidated if price loses $X” or “if additional breach details emerge”).
4. Decision log
   • Generate a short entry so the user can drop it in the self-improvement tracker:

     - Ticker: XYZ
       - Date: 2026-04-16
       - Bot take: ⚠️ Hold until post-earnings volatility settles.
       - Planned action: _____
       - Follow-up reminder: Recheck headlines + price 2026-04-18.

Add additional tickers as separate sections.

Data & tooling notes

• If no live API is available, rely on whatever data the user gives plus broadly known info (earnings calendar, macro events). Be explicit about assumptions.
• Headlines can be summarized manually from user paste or recent articles; cite source + time.
• Keep the total response compact—2–4 bullet lines per ticker plus the log template.

References

• references/ can store future templates (e.g., logging schema, API hints). Currently unused; delete if not needed later.
