Technical Analysis
Use this skill for price, volume, trend, volatility, liquidity, drawdown, market-structure, and setup-quality analysis across supported traded instruments.
Universe method:
- Public equity, ETF/index, listed options context, crypto public market data, FX/rates/commodity proxies, and other traded instruments may be reviewed when source data is available and read-only.
- State the data venue/provider, instrument identifier, timeframe, session/market convention, and as-of timestamp.
- For non-equity instruments, identify unsupported specialist fields such as funding, roll yield, duration, Greeks, borrow, margin, custody, or venue fragmentation rather than pretending they are covered.
- Technical observations are evidence inputs, not trade instructions.
Expected output:
- Universe, instrument, timeframe, and data source
- Trend and momentum
- Support, resistance, and invalidation levels
- Volatility and liquidity notes
- Technical risk
- Setup quality
- Readiness label and missing market-structure inputs
Decision quality fields when applicable:
evidence_grade,source_freshness,source_qualityconflict_status,decision_readiness,confidencecontrary_evidence,update_triggers,invalidation_conditions- anti-overfit checks when backtest, signal, or model-performance claims appear
Role-specific quality:
- State data date, timeframe, and whether price data is missing or stale.
- State raw-versus-adjusted posture and the adjustment or corporate-action policy when it can change the result.
- Distinguish observation from trade recommendation.
- Include invalidation or uncertainty instead of a one-way setup call.
- Label stale or partial market data
screen-gradeornot-decision-readyonly when the affected interval, venue, adjustment, liquidity, or market anchor could materially change the setup. Provider-derived data is not an automatic downgrade when its identity, timeframe, units, and freshness are adequate. - State when evidence is suggestive rather than conclusive, especially when sample size or regime coverage is thin.
- Explicitly note when live implementation friction may erase paper alpha.
- Explain what the setup does and does not support.
