SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually creating and registering custom trading strategies for the ClaudeTrading paper trading system requires setting up skill directories, writing boilerplate code, and updating configuration files, which is time-consuming and error-prone for users who want to extend the default strategy set.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided Strategy Intake: Walks users through collecting all required strategy specifications (name, buy/sell logic, operating set, tunable parameters) via simple questions.
  • Automated Scaffolding: Creates the full skill directory structure with pre-written SKILL.md and apply.sh stub files based on the user's input.
  • Auto-Registration: Updates the strategy_defaults.json configuration file automatically so new strategies are immediately available to the master_trading workflow.
  • Use Case: If you want to add a custom breakout trading strategy that buys when price breaks above a 20-day high and sells on a 5% pullback, this skill handles all the setup work so you only need to fill in the trading logic later.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add a custom trading strategy to paper trading automation without manually editing configuration files?

To add a custom trading strategy to paper trading automation, you can use a guided intake process that automatically scaffolds skill directories, generates boilerplate scripts, and updates strategy configuration files. This eliminates manual setup errors and instantly integrates new rules into the scheduled trading workflow.

What is automated strategy scaffolding for paper trading systems?

Automated strategy scaffolding is the process of generating a valid skill unit structure, including SKILL.md and apply.sh stub files, based on your trading specifications. It allows you to integrate personalized buy and sell rules into a paper trading system without manually writing boilerplate code.

How do I register a new trading strategy in strategy_defaults.json?

You register a new trading strategy in strategy_defaults.json by using an auto-registration feature that updates the configuration file automatically. This ensures your newly scaffolded custom strategy is immediately recognized by the master trading workflow without manual data entry.

Can I use custom trading rules with ClaudeTrading if I only know the buy and sell logic?

Yes, you can use custom trading rules if you only know the buy and sell logic. A guided intake process collects your strategy name, operating set, and tunable parameters through simple questions, handling the underlying file creation and configuration registration automatically.

What is the best way to configure a breakout trading strategy for an autonomous paper trading system?

The best way to configure a breakout trading strategy is to define your specific buy and sell triggers, such as a 20-day high entry and 5% pullback exit. An automated strategy intake tool then scaffolds the required execution scripts and configures the scheduling workflow.

Do I need to manually create skill directories to extend the default trading strategy set?

No, you do not need to manually create skill directories to extend the default trading strategy set. Automated scaffolding tools generate the full directory structure and required boilerplate files directly from your strategy specifications, saving time and preventing setup errors.
