# Generating Trading Signals
## Overview
Multi-indicator signal generation system that analyzes price action using 7 technical indicators and produces composite BUY/SELL signals with confidence scores and risk management levels.
**Indicators**: RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Trend (SMA 20/50/200), Volume, Stochastic Oscillator, ADX.
## Prerequisites
Install required dependencies:
```bash
set -euo pipefail
pip install yfinance pandas numpy
```
Optional for visualization: `pip install matplotlib`
## Instructions
1. **Quick signal scan** across multiple assets:
```bash
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --watchlist crypto_top10 --period 6m
```
Output shows signal type (STRONG_BUY/BUY/NEUTRAL/SELL/STRONG_SELL) and confidence per asset.
2. **Detailed signal analysis** for a specific symbol:
```bash
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --symbols BTC-USD --detail
```
Shows each indicator's individual signal, value, and reasoning.
3. **Filter and rank** the best opportunities:
```bash
# Only buy signals with 70%+ confidence
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --filter buy --min-confidence 70 --rank confidence
# Save results to JSON
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --output signals.json
```
4. **Use predefined watchlists**:
```bash
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --list-watchlists
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --watchlist crypto_defi
```
Available: `crypto_top10`, `crypto_defi`, `crypto_layer2`, `stocks_tech`, `etfs_major`
## Output
The scanner produces a summary table with symbol, signal type, confidence %, price, and stop loss for each asset scanned. Detailed mode adds per-indicator breakdowns with risk management levels (stop loss, take profit, risk/reward ratio).
**Signal types**: STRONG_BUY (+2), BUY (+1), NEUTRAL (0), SELL (-1), STRONG_SELL (-2)
**Confidence ranges**: 70-100% high conviction | 50-70% moderate | 30-50% weak | 0-30% avoid
See `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation.md` for full output format examples and signal type tables.
## Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Fix |
|-------|-------|-----|
| No data for symbol | Invalid ticker or delisted | Verify symbol exists on Yahoo Finance |
| Insufficient data | Period too short for indicators | Use `--period 6m` minimum |
| Rate limit exceeded | Too many rapid API calls | Add delay between scans |
See `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/errors.md` for comprehensive error handling.
## Examples
**Morning crypto scan** - Check all top-10 crypto assets for entry opportunities:
```bash
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --watchlist crypto_top10 --period 6m
```
**Deep dive on Bitcoin** - Full indicator breakdown with risk management levels:
```bash
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --symbols BTC-USD --detail
```
**Find strongest DeFi buy signals** - Filter and rank by confidence:
```bash
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --watchlist crypto_defi --filter buy --rank confidence
```
**Export results** - Save to JSON for automated pipeline or further analysis:
```bash
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scanner.py --watchlist crypto_top10 --output signals.json
```

generating-unit-tests
This skill enables Claude to automatically generate comprehensive unit tests from source code. It is triggered when the user requests unit tests, test cases, or test suites for specific files or code snippets. The skill supports multiple testing frameworks including Jest, pytest, JUnit, and others, intelligently detecting the appropriate framework or using one specified by the user. Use this skill when the user asks to "generate tests", "create unit tests", or uses the shortcut "gut" followed by a file path.
generating-test-reports
This skill generates comprehensive test reports with coverage metrics, trends, and stakeholder-friendly formats (HTML, PDF, JSON). It aggregates test results from various frameworks, calculates key metrics (coverage, pass rate, duration), and performs trend analysis. Use this skill when the user requests a test report, coverage analysis, failure analysis, or historical comparisons of test runs. Trigger terms include "test report", "coverage report", "testing trends", "failure analysis", and "historical test data".
generating-test-doubles
This skill uses the test-doubles-generator plugin to automatically create mocks, stubs, spies, and fakes for unit testing. It analyzes dependencies in the code and generates appropriate test doubles based on the chosen testing framework, such as Jest, Sinon, or others. Use this skill when you need to generate test doubles, mocks, stubs, spies, or fakes to isolate units of code during testing. Trigger this skill by requesting test double generation or using the `/gen-doubles` or `/gd` command.
generating-test-data
This skill enables Claude to generate realistic test data for software development. It uses the test-data-generator plugin to create users, products, orders, and custom schemas for comprehensive testing. Use this skill when you need to populate databases, simulate user behavior, or create fixtures for automated tests. Trigger phrases include "generate test data", "create fake users", "populate database", "generate product data", "create test orders", or "generate data based on schema". This skill is especially useful for populating testing environments or creating sample data for demonstrations.
generating-stored-procedures
This skill uses the stored-procedure-generator plugin to create production-ready stored procedures, functions, triggers, and custom database logic. It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL Server. Use this skill when the user asks to "generate stored procedure", "create database function", "write a trigger", or needs help with "database logic", "optimizing database performance", or "ensuring transaction safety" in their database. The skill is activated by requests related to database stored procedures, functions, or triggers.
generating-orm-code
This skill enables Claude to generate ORM models and database schemas. It is triggered when the user requests the creation of ORM models, database schemas, or wishes to generate code for interacting with databases. The skill supports various ORMs including TypeORM, Prisma, Sequelize, SQLAlchemy, Django ORM, Entity Framework, and Hibernate. Use this skill when the user mentions terms like "ORM model", "database schema", "generate entities", "create migrations", or specifies a particular ORM framework like "TypeORM entities" or "SQLAlchemy models". It facilitates both database-to-code and code-to-database schema generation.
generating-infrastructure-as-code
This skill enables Claude to generate Infrastructure as Code (IaC) configurations. It uses the infrastructure-as-code-generator plugin to create production-ready IaC for Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi, ARM Templates, and CDK. Use this skill when the user requests IaC configurations for cloud infrastructure, specifying the platform (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation) and cloud provider (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP), or when the user needs help automating infrastructure deployment. Trigger terms include: "generate IaC", "create Terraform", "CloudFormation template", "Pulumi program", "infrastructure code".
generating-smart-commits
This skill generates conventional commit messages using AI analysis of staged Git changes. It automatically determines the commit type (feat, fix, docs, etc.), identifies breaking changes, and formats the message according to conventional commit standards. Use this when asked to create a commit message, write a Git commit, or when the user uses the `/commit-smart` or `/gc` command. It is especially useful after changes have been staged with `git add`.
generating-rest-apis
