Alphaear Strategy
When to Use
Trigger phrases:
- "alphaear strategy"
- "Help me with alphaear strategy"
Use cases:
- When the task matches this skill's domain expertise
When NOT to use:
- For tasks outside this skill's scope
analysis = alphaear_analyze("NVDA")
Output includes:
- News aggregation with sentiment
- Social media trend analysis
- Options flow anomalies
- Kronos price prediction
- Composite signal score
if analysis.signal_score > 75: position_size = portfolio_value * 0.05 # 5% max entry = current_price stop = entry * 0.95 # 5% stop target = entry * 1.15 # 15% target
### Example 2: Signal Monitoring
```python
# Monitor multiple positions
portfolio = ["AAPL", "TSLA", "NVDA", "AMD"]
signals = {}
for ticker in portfolio:
signals[ticker] = alphaear_analyze(ticker)
# Alert on signal degradation
for ticker, signal in signals.items():
if signal.evolution == "WEAKEN":
alert(f"{ticker}: Signal weakening, review position")
elif signal.evolution == "FALSIFY":
alert(f"{ticker}: Thesis invalidated, consider exit")
Example 3: Event-Driven Setup
# Pre-earnings analysis
ticker = "AMZN"
catalyst_date = get_next_earnings_date(ticker)
days_to_catalyst = (catalyst_date - today).days
if days_to_catalyst <= 7:
setup = alphaear_analyze(
ticker,
focus="catalyst_setup",
include_options=True
)
if setup.options_signal == "unusual_call_activity":
# Market positioning bullish
direction = "LONG"
structure = "call_spread"

When NOT to Use
- When you cannot afford to lose the capital at risk
- For instruments you do not understand
- When emotional state impairs judgment (revenge trading, FOMO)
Overview
Alphaear Strategy provides market analysis capabilities with risk management.
Workflow
- Research — Analyze market conditions and opportunities
- Plan — Define entry, exit, and position sizing
- Execute — Place trades with proper order types
- Monitor — Track positions and market changes
- Manage risk — Apply stop-losses and hedging
- Review — Post-trade analysis and journaling
Risk Management
- Never risk more than 1-2% of portfolio per trade
- Set stop-loss before entering any position
- Diversify across uncorrelated assets
- Size positions based on volatility (ATR)
- Have a maximum daily loss limit
Key Metrics
- Win rate and profit factor
- Sharpe ratio and max drawdown
- Average risk-reward ratio
- Expectancy per trade
- Correlation to benchmark
Discipline Rules
- Follow your trading plan — no impulsive trades
- Cut losses short, let winners run
- Review every trade in your journal
- Never revenge trade after a loss
- Take breaks after consecutive losses
Anti-Rationalization Table
| Rationalization | Reality |
|---|---|
| "I will cut losses later" | Later never comes. Set stop-losses before entering any trade. |
| "This time is different" | It never is. Follow your strategy, not your emotions. |
| "I do not need to journal" | Journaling reveals patterns in your behavior. Track every trade. |
Money-Making Overview
Turn multi-factor signal scoring into consistent trading edge. Each signal_score > 75 setup targets 3:1 reward-to-risk, with 1% capital at risk per trade ($50 on $5K account, $100 on $10K). The alphaear framework combines momentum, volume divergence, and sentiment (news + options flow) into a composite score — when all three align above threshold, the edge is statistically significant for swing and event-driven trades.
Revenue Streams
1. Signal-Based Swing Trading ($300–$3,000/month)
- Score momentum/volume/sentiment signals daily on a 10-ticker watchlist
- Enter only when composite score > 75 with bullish alignment across all three factors
- Position size: 1% account risk per trade, 5% stop-loss, 15% profit target (3:1 R:R)
- 20–30 trades/month at 55–65% win rate generates consistent P&L
2. Options Flow & Earnings Trading ($500–$5,000/month)
- Monitor unusual options activity (block trades, sweep orders, put/call ratio divergence)
- Pre-earnings catalyst setups with 7-day horizon; structure as call/put spreads
- Combine options flow signal with momentum score for higher probability entries
- Scale size for defined-risk spreads (max loss capped at 1% account value)
3. Signal Subscription / API ($10–$100K/month at scale)
- Package composite alphaear scores as a daily email / webhook / REST API
- Tiered pricing: $50/month retail, $500/month pro (full ticker coverage), $5K/month institutional (API access + raw data feeds)
- Target 200–2,000 subscribers via quant Twitter/X, trading communities, and affiliate partnerships
- Recurring SaaS revenue with zero marginal cost per additional subscriber
Money Management (Hard Rules)
| Rule | Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Risk per trade | 1% of account | Survive 20 consecutive losses at ~66% drawdown |
| Stop-loss | 5% below entry | Matches ATR-based volatility bands on daily timeframe |
| Profit target | 15% above entry | 3:1 R:R — one winner covers three losers |
| Max daily loss | 3% of account | Hard stop: close all positions, step away |
| Max concurrent positions | 4 | Non-correlated tickers only (no sector clustering) |
| Portfolio at risk cap | 4% | 4 positions × 1% each = max portfolio exposure |
First Action in 60 Minutes
Run this script to score live signals for any ticker. It computes momentum (ROC + RSI), volume (ratio vs 20-day average), and sentiment (price vs moving average cross) from yfinance data, then prints a composite score with entry, stop, and target levels.
