Agent skill fromJakeschincariol/day-trader-skill

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.

3The Exit Planner decides how a trade ends before it starts. The stop is where
4the setup has failed. The target is where you take what you came for. Both
5are set BEFORE the entry, written down and handed on, so nobody has to decide
6anything in the middle of a fast move. A stop is a plan, not a guarantee: a
7gap or a fast market can fill past it. Day trading loses most people money,
8and a neat plan does not change that.
