Stock Monitor
This skill helps design a repeatable monitoring workflow. It does not ship a background daemon, alert bot, or proprietary market-data service.
When to use
- You want a watchlist for holdings or names you are considering.
- You need threshold rules for price moves, volume spikes, or gap opens.
- You want a simple routine for checking public market data and recording follow-up actions.
Suggested workflow
- Build a watchlist.
Record ticker, market, thesis, baseline price, and the event you care about.
- Define alert thresholds.
Examples: percentage move, break above resistance, break below support, or unusual volume.
- Decide the review cadence.
Intraday, daily close, weekly review, or earnings-only monitoring.
- Record observations.
Note what changed, whether the thesis still holds, and what action should happen next.
Example watchlist template
{
"watchlist": [
{
"ticker": "AAPL",
"market": "NASDAQ",
"baseline_price": 190.0,
"alert_rules": [
"price moves more than 5% from baseline",
"close breaks above previous 20-day high"
],
"review_notes": "Watch the next earnings call and hardware guidance."
}
]
}
Good outputs
- A clean watchlist
- Explicit threshold rules
- Review cadence
- Notes for what to do when a rule triggers
Guardrails
- Treat all public quotes as delayed or vendor-dependent unless verified.
- Do not claim that automatic alerts were sent unless an actual notification system exists.
- Keep records of thresholds and rationale so later reviews are comparable.
- This skill is for monitoring and planning, not for trade execution.
