What problem does it solve?
The v1 master_trading skill walks every deterministic pipeline step (market check, safe trading filter, strategy execution, state persistence) via separate LLM tool calls, wasting ~45k input tokens per tick with no LLM judgment required. This skill eliminates that overhead by moving all deterministic orchestration to a single bash script, delivering identical trading behavior at a fraction of the context cost.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Script-orchestrated tick pipeline: Collapses all deterministic trading steps into one bash invocation, removing redundant LLM round-trips for non-judgmental tasks.
- LLM observability layer: Shifts the LLM's role to surfacing only anomalies (strategy errors, concentration risks, equity drops, repeat-fire events) that require human intelligence to spot.
- Wire-compatible with v1: Uses the exact same trading semantics, H1B cooldown rules, paper-only Alpaca integration, and persistence layout as master_trading v1, so switching between versions is seamless.
- Use Case: For autonomous paper trading systems that run frequent scheduled ticks during market hours, this skill reduces per-tick compute cost and context bloat while maintaining full trading safety and observability.
Quick Start
Run the master_trading_v2 skill during a scheduled trading tick or when manually invoking /master_trading_v2 for a one-shot paper trading cycle, then review the surfaced anomaly summary for any issues requiring operator attention.
