Price Alerts. Rings when a price, a stop or the opening bell hits. Turns the trade plan into three alerts in one go (the stop, the target and "flat by close" at your flat-by time), plus above / below / stop / target levels, percent moves from the previous close, any time of day, and the NYSE opening bell, each ringing once so you are not spammed. Knows NYSE hours with the 2026 and 2027 holidays and 1:00 p.m. early closes, works out New York time itself, fetches free delayed quotes (Yahoo chart JSON, Stooq CSV) one ticker at a time, and writes trader/prices.json for sizing and the risk check. Use when the user says "alert me when", "tell me if TSLA hits", "watch my stop", "watch my trade", "remind me to close by 3:55", "is the market open", "when does the market open", "get me a price", or right after /trader-exit writes a plan.

The Earnings Analyst. Reads a company's reported numbers straight from SEC EDGAR (XBRL company facts from its 10-Qs and 10-Ks, plus the latest earnings 8-K and its press release) and sums up what changed: revenue, gross, operating and net margins, net income and diluted EPS, quarter by quarter, each against the same quarter a year earlier, with the trailing twelve months. Reads an earnings call transcript when you paste one. Use when the user says "how did Tesla's earnings look", "analyze the earnings", "what changed this quarter", "is revenue growing", "check the 10-Q", "compare margins", "sum up the call", "does it report this week", or before trading a stock around its earnings.

Order Executor. Sends approved orders to your broker, paper trading by default, never without your yes. Shows each order as a plain ticket (a bracket shows its stop-loss, take-profit and the max loss at the stop) plus the exact JSON for Alpaca's place_stock_order, records your yes word for word, then Claude's own Allow once / Deny card asks again. Builds the sell ticket that closes a day trade by your flat-by time, records fills, and logs each trade's max loss so trader-risk can hold the daily limit. Covers setting up Alpaca's official MCP server in Claude Desktop (paper by default, keys in env vars, never in chat), the Interactive Brokers connector, and setting order tools to "Needs approval". Use when the user says "place the order", "buy it", "execute", "send it to my broker", "close my position", "flatten", "get me out", "connect Alpaca", "set up paper trading", or after /trader-risk passes.

Budget Manager. Sizes every position to your budget and your max loss per trade. Reads the trade plan from trader-exit (entry, stop, target), finds the whole shares that fit inside four limits (max loss per trade, position cap, max order, cash after your buffer), says which limit decided it, and writes ONE bracket order (entry, stop-loss, take-profit) to trader/orders.json in the exact shape of Alpaca's place_stock_order. A stop too far away for your max loss is a plain refusal, not a smaller order. Nothing is placed. Use when the user says "how many shares", "size this trade", "how much should I buy", "I have $5,000", "I only want to risk $50 a trade", "set my rules", "keep 10% in cash", or after /trader-exit writes a plan.

Entry Timer. Watches a setup bar by bar and tells you the moment to get in. Reads free Yahoo 1-minute or 5-minute bars, builds the opening range (the first 15 minutes by default) and calls the entry on the first completed bar that CLOSES above the range high, or above a level you give it (like a 20-day high from the scanner), with an optional volume check. Says waiting and how far, triggered with the time and the price, expired, or not open yet, and writes trader/entry.json for /trader-exit. Long side only. It never places an order. Use when the user says "tell me when to get in", "watch TSLA", "has it broken out", "did it break the opening range", "entry signal", "time my entry", "check my watchlist", or after /trader-scanner and /trader-news, before /trader-exit.

Exit Planner. Sets your stop and your target before you enter, so you know when to get out. Reads the entry from trader-entry (or a price you give), puts the stop at the opening-range midpoint by default (or the range low, your price, a percent, or a multiple of the ATR), rounds it down to the cent, and sets the target at 2R (or 1R, or your price). Refuses a stop at or above the entry, a target at or below it, or a stop too tight to survive the spread, and says why. Writes trader/plan.json for the Time Machine, the Budget Manager and Price Alerts. Long side only. Use when the user says "where's my stop", "set my stop and target", "plan the exit", "when do I get out", "stop loss", "what's my R", "risk reward", or right after /trader-entry triggers, before /trader-timemachine.

News Monitor. Tracks breaking news on every stock you watch and flags what moves it: Yahoo Finance headlines per ticker, each company's 8-K filings on SEC EDGAR (earnings, CEO changes, deals, restatements, bankruptcy) and how far each stock is from yesterday's close. Shows only what is new since the last check, newest first, in New York time, tags each item (earnings, analyst, deal, halt, regulatory, macro...) and never repeats one. Use when the user says "any news on TSLA", "why is this moving", "what's the news on my watchlist", "morning briefing", "pre-market news", "monitor the news", "did anything break", "check the 8-Ks", or after /trader-scanner finds setups.

The Pelosi Tracker. Watches the stock trades members of Congress must disclose under the STOCK Act: reads the House Clerk's public Periodic Transaction Reports (PTRs) as soon as they are posted, alerts once per new filing, and turns each PDF into clean rows (who, owner, stock, ticker, buy or sell, options strike and expiry, trade date, amount range, how many days it took to disclose). Flags trades in stocks you hold. Senate reports are covered by a documented manual route. Use when the user says "what is Pelosi buying", "track Nancy Pelosi", "Congress trades", "politician stock trades", "did any congressman buy X", "alert me when Pelosi files", or "run the Pelosi skill".

Risk Manager. Checks every trade against your limits and stops anything over them, before it can reach the broker. For a day trade: a stop is required, the loss at the stop must fit your max loss per trade (measured from the higher of the plan's entry and a fresh price), reward:risk must meet your minimum, the day's total risk must fit your daily loss limit, no more than your trades per day, and no new entries outside your entry window or when the market is closed. It also keeps the basics: blocked tickers, order size, position cap, cash buffer, margin, short sales, options and crypto, malformed or bad bracket orders, duplicates and a daily order limit. Getting out is never blocked by a day limit. Prints PASS or BLOCK with the reason and records the verdicts so trader-broker only shows an order that passed. Use when the user says "check my order", "is this safe", "risk check", "does this break my rules", "can I take this trade", "how much have I risked today", or before /trader-broker,

Chart Scanner. Scans thousands of charts for setups: opening-range breakouts, flags, oversold bounces. Builds the list of US-listed common stocks, ordinary shares and ADRs from Nasdaq Trader's symbol directories, runs a pre-market scan of daily closes (20-day closing-high breakout, bull flag, reclaimed the 20-day average, oversold, oversold bounce) and an intraday opening-range breakout scan on 5-minute bars, then writes trader/watchlist.json for trader-news and trader-entry. Free Yahoo data, bar by bar. Use when the user says "scan the market", "find me setups", "what is breaking out", "opening range breakouts", "scan for bull flags", "oversold stocks", "pre-market scan", "build my watchlist", "what should I look at today", or at the start of a trading day before /trader-news.

Time Machine. Replays every possible outcome of a trade before you risk a dollar: 10,000 simulated sessions plus every past time the setup fired. Takes the plan from trader-exit (entry, stop, target), rebuilds the rest of the day 10,000 times from the stock's own 5-minute bars over the last 60 days, and re-runs the same rule on every past session. Prints the odds of target first, stop first, or neither by the close, where the price sits at the close, the average R, the history, and one honest verdict, then hands off to /trader-budget. Use when the user says "run the time machine", "replay this trade", "what are the odds", "simulate this trade", "monte carlo", "backtest this setup", "how often does this hit the target", "is this a coin flip", or after /trader-exit writes a plan, before /trader-budget.
