You do not need every option. Choose the path your AI client supports. The stable page stays the same; versioned files are immutable.
1. Native installer
This listing has no registered native installer command. Use the complete package or source fallback below, depending on what your client supports.
Do not guess an installer command or replace an existing version without reviewing the diff.
2. Complete package recommended
Download the ZIP when available. It includes SKILL.md plus the references, security notes and version metadata.
No complete ProSkills package is published for this listing yet.3. Prompt-only
Copy the prompt above when the agent can read the stable page or when you want to adopt the workflow without installing a skill.
Need only the instruction file?
Download SKILL.md only if your client requires a single file. The complete ZIP is safer for a full installation because it preserves the references and release context.
No path installs or executes anything by itself. Your agent still needs access to the project files. Before updating, compare the installed version and review the diff.

The Day Trader skill
11 Claude skills for day trading: scan thousands of charts, track breaking news, time every entry and exit, and replay every outcome before you risk a dollar.
Free, MIT, no signup, no API key. The tools are plain Python that read free public data: Yahoo Finance charts, Nasdaq Trader's symbol lists, SEC EDGAR and the House Clerk.
One scans thousands of charts for setups. Another tracks breaking news on every stock you watch. One watches a setup bar by bar and tells you the moment to get in, and another sets your stop and your target before you do. And the craziest one is the Time Machine: before you risk a dollar, it replays the rest of the session 10,000 times from the stock's own recent bars, plus every past day the same setup fired, and tells you the honest odds.
And no trade goes through until you say yes. Nothing in this pack can place an order on its own. Paper trading is the default.
Looking for the original Trader skill? Copy an investor's 13F, the stock screener, tax lots and rebalancing live in github.com/Jakeschincariol/trader-skill. This repo is its day-trading sequel: the Trader skill v2.
Install
Paste this into Claude:
https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/day-trader-skill
install skill
Or as a plugin, in Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add Jakeschincariol/day-trader-skill
/plugin install day-trader-skill@day-trader-skill
Claude Code namespaces plugin skills, so installed as a plugin they show up as
/day-trader-skill:trader-scanner and so on. Copy the folders instead if you want
plain /trader-scanner:
git clone https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/day-trader-skill.git
cp -r day-trader-skill/trader-* ~/.claude/skills/
Project-local instead of global: copy the same folders into your repo's
.claude/skills/. No Claude Code at all? Paste any single SKILL.md at the
top of a chat and it runs as a mode. You lose the Python tools, but the method
works.
The tools need Python 3.8 or newer. Nothing to pip install. The SEC tools
(news filings, the analyst) ask you to identify yourself: put your name and
email in trader/config.json ("sec_user_agent": "Your Name [email protected]")
or in the SEC_USER_AGENT environment variable.

How to use it
Everything lands in a trader/ folder in your project, and each skill reads
what the last one wrote:
scanner -> news -> entry -> exit -> timemachine -> budget -> risk -> broker (one trade)
alerts: stop, target, flat by the close (while it is open)
news / analyst / pelosi (on a schedule)
An example, the trade in the reel: Tesla, Monday October 19 2026, real data.
/trader-scannerat 10:15 AM ET: of the 231 charts in the reel's scan, 42 had closed above their 15-minute opening range. TSLA is one: range 354.47 to 362.18, the 10:10 candle closed at 364.18, 0.55 % over the top./trader-news: the morning's TSLA headlines, in New York time ("Tesla-SpaceX Merger Mania Strikes Wall Street Ahead of Earnings", 8:04, tagged earnings and deal). Tesla reports this week: a day trade is out before the close, so it is not exposed to the report./trader-entrywatched TSLA bar by bar. At 10:12 it said waiting (the 10:10 bar was still forming). At 10:15 it said triggered: the first 5-minute close above the range, 364.18./trader-exitset the plan before the entry: stop at the range's midpoint, 358.32, so 5.86 a share at risk; target one times that risk, 370.04; flat by 3:55 PM either way./trader-timemachinereplayed the rest of the day 10,000 times, each 5-minute candle drawn from TSLA's own candles at that time of day over the previous 59 sessions (seed 19, so anyone can repeat it): target first 29.4 %, stop first 25.5 %, still open at the close 45.1 %. It also re-ran the same rule on those 59 real sessions: it fired 33 times, 13 hit the target, 15 the stop, 5 neither. Its verdict: close to a coin flip. That is the point of looking before you risk a dollar./trader-budgetwith a $5,000 account and a $50 max loss per trade: 50 / 5.86 = 8 shares ($2,913.44). If the stop fills at 358.32, the loss is $46.88. It writes one bracket order: buy 8 TSLA, stop-loss 358.32, take-profit 370.04./trader-riskchecks it against your limits: the max loss, the daily loss limit, trades per day, reward to risk, the entry window, position size and cash. PASS or BLOCK, with the reason./trader-brokershows you the ticket in plain words. You type yes for that exact order. Claude calls your brokerage connector (Alpaca's MCP server, paper account by default), and Claude's own "Allow once / Deny" card asks you one more time./trader-alertsrings on the stop, the target and at 3:55 PM to flatten whatever is still open.
