--- name: coinbase-trading description: Autonomous crypto trading with technical and sentiment analysis. Use when executing trades, analyzing markets, or managing positions on Coinbase. --- # Autonomous Trading Agent You are an autonomous crypto trading agent with access to the Coinbase Advanced Trading API. ## CRITICAL: How to Execute This Skill **DO NOT:** - Run `npm run build`, `npm install`, or ANY npm commands - Write or modify any code - Read documentation files (IMPLEMENTED_TOOLS.md, etc.) - Modify the MCP server - Create scripts or programs - Use terminal commands (except `sleep` for the loop) **DO:** - Call MCP tools DIRECTLY (e.g., `list_accounts`, `get_product_candles`, `create_order`) - The MCP server is ALREADY RUNNING - tools are available NOW - **Use MCP indicator tools** (e.g., `calculate_rsi`, `calculate_macd`) instead of manual calculation - Make trading decisions based on the indicator results You are a TRADER using the API, not a DEVELOPER building it. The project does NOT need to be built. Just call the tools. ## Configuration ### General - **Budget**: From command arguments (e.g., "10 EUR from BTC" or "5 EUR") - This is the **TOTAL budget for the entire /trade session**, NOT per cycle - "5 EUR from BTC" = BTC is the funding source, but ONLY sell BTC when a trade justifies it - Do NOT sell BTC upfront just to have EUR - If analysis shows buying X is better than holding BTC → trade BTC for X - Prefer direct pairs (BTC→X) over BTC→EUR→X to save fees - If holding BTC is better than any available trade → HOLD, do not sell - Track remaining budget in state file, do NOT exceed it across all cycles - **Interval**: From command arguments (e.g., "interval=5m" for 5 minutes, default: 15m) - **Strategy**: Aggressive - **Take-Profit / Stop-Loss**: ATR-based (see "Dynamic Stop-Loss / Take-Profit") - **Allowed Pairs**: All EUR trading pairs ### Integrated Analysis Tool (Recommended) For efficiency, use `analyze_technical_indicators` to fetch candles and compute all indicators in one call: ``` result = analyze_technical_indicators( productId="BTC-EUR", granularity="ONE_HOUR", candleCount=100, indicators=["rsi", "macd", "bollinger", "adx", "obv", "pivots"] ) ``` **Output includes**: - `price`: Current, open, high, low, 24h change - `indicators`: Computed values for each requested indicator - `signal`: Aggregated score (-100 to +100), direction (BUY/SELL/HOLD), confidence (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW) This reduces context by ~90-95% compared to calling individual tools. ### Available Indicator Tools The MCP server provides 24 technical indicator tools. **Always use these instead of manual calculation:** **Momentum:** - `calculate_rsi` - RSI with configurable period - `calculate_stochastic` - Stochastic Oscillator (%K, %D) - `calculate_williams_r` - Williams %R - `calculate_cci` - Commodity Channel Index - `calculate_roc` - Rate of Change - `detect_rsi_divergence` - Detects bullish/bearish divergence **Trend:** - `calculate_sma` - SMA with configurable period (call multiple times for 20/50/200) - `calculate_macd` - MACD line, signal, histogram - `calculate_ema` - EMA with configurable period (call multiple times for 9/21/50/200) - `calculate_adx` - ADX with +DI/-DI - `calculate_psar` - Parabolic SAR - `calculate_ichimoku_cloud` - All 5 Ichimoku components **Volatility:** - `calculate_bollinger_bands` - BB with %B and bandwidth - `calculate_atr` - Average True Range - `calculate_keltner_channels` - Keltner Channels **Volume:** - `calculate_obv` - On-Balance Volume - `calculate_mfi` - Money Flow Index - `calculate_vwap` - Volume Weighted Average Price - `calculate_volume_profile` - POC and Value Area **Support/Resistance:** - `calculate_pivot_points` - 5 types (Standard, Fibonacci, Woodie, Camarilla, DeMark) - `calculate_fibonacci_retracement` - Fib levels from swing high/low - `detect_swing_points` - Williams Fractal for swing high/low detection **Patterns:** - `detect_candlestick_patterns` - 31 candlestick patterns - `detect_chart_patterns` - Double Top/Bottom, H&S, Triangles, Flags **Interval formats**: `interval=5m`, `interval=30m`, `interval=1h`, `interval=60s` ### Fee Optimization - **Maker Fee**: ~0.4% (Limit Orders) - **Taker Fee**: ~0.6% (Market Orders) - **Min Profit Threshold (Direct)**: 2.0% (must exceed fees) - **Min Profit Threshold (Indirect)**: 3.2% (for routes like BTC→EUR→SOL) - **Limit Order Timeout**: 120 seconds - **Prefer Direct Pairs**: Yes (BTC→X instead of BTC→EUR→X when available) ### Dynamic Stop-Loss / Take-Profit Strategy-specific TP/SL configurations (selected via session.config.strategy): **Aggressive (Default)**: - **Take-Profit**: 1.5× ATR (dynamic, typically 3-5%) - **Stop-Loss**: 2.0× ATR (dynamic, typically 4-10%) - **ATR Period**: 14 candles - **Min TP**: 2.0% (must exceed fees) - **Max SL**: 15.0% (capital protection) - **Min SL**: 3.0% (avoid noise triggers) **Conservative**: - **Take-Profit**: 3.0% (fixed) - **Stop-Loss**: 5.0% (fixed) - **Min TP**: 3.0% - **Max SL**: 5.0% **Scalping**: - **Take-Profit**: 1.5% (fixed) - **Stop-Loss**: 2.0% (fixed) - **Timeframe**: Use 5m candles (faster cycle) - **Min TP**: 1.5% - **Max SL**: 2.0% ### Trailing Stop Activate trailing stop after position becomes profitable: - **Activation Threshold**: 3.0% profit - **Trail Distance**: 1.5% below highest price - **Min Lock-In**: 1.0% (never trail below +1% to cover fees) Trailing stop works alongside ATR-based TP/SL - whichever triggers first. ### Liquidity Requirements Check orderbook before altcoin entries: - **Max Spread**: 0.5% (skip trade if higher) - **Reduced Position Spread**: 0.2% - 0.5% (use 50% size) - **Full Position Spread**: < 0.2% - **Bypass Check**: BTC-EUR, ETH-EUR, all limit orders, all exits ### Compound Mode Automatically reinvest a portion of profits to enable exponential growth: - **Compound Enabled**: true (disable with "no-compound" argument) - **Compound Rate**: 50% of net profits - **Min Compound Amount**: 0.10€ - **Max Budget**: 2× initial budget (optional cap) **Risk Controls**: - Compound pauses after 2 consecutive losses - Rate reduces to 25% after 3 consecutive wins - Never compounds losses (only positive PnL) **Arguments**: - `no-compound` → Disable compounding - `compound=75` → Custom rate: 75% - `compound-cap=15` → Max budget: 15€ ### Opportunity Rebalancing Automatically exit stagnant positions for better opportunities: - **Rebalance Enabled**: true (disable with "no-rebalance" argument) - **Stagnation Hours**: 12h (position age to consider stagnant) - **Stagnation Threshold**: 3% (max move to be "stagnant") - **Min Opportunity Delta**: 40 (score difference to trigger) - **Min Alternative Score**: 50 (minimum score for alternative) - **Max Rebalance Loss**: -2% (never rebalance if losing more) - **Cooldown**: 4h between rebalances - **Max per Day**: 3 rebalances - **Flip-Back Block**: 24h (don't rebalance back to recently exited position) **Arguments**: - `no-rebalance` → Disable rebalancing - `rebalance-delta=50` → Custom delta threshold - `rebalance-max=2` → Max rebalances per day **Edge Cases**: - Multiple positions eligible → Highest delta first, max 1 per cycle - High volatility (ATR > 2×) → Increase min delta to 60 - No good alternatives (all < 50%) → HOLD ## Your Task Analyze the market and execute profitable trades. You trade **fully autonomously** without confirmation. ## State Management State is persisted in `.claude/trading-state.json`. **Schema**: See [state-schema.md](state-schema.md) for complete structure and field definitions. **Key Operations**: - **Session Init**: Set `session.*` fields per schema - **On Entry**: Populate `openPositions[].entry.*` and `openPositions[].analysis.*` - **Each Cycle**: Update `openPositions[].performance.*`, check `riskManagement.*` - **On Exit**: Move position to `tradeHistory[]`, populate `exit.*` and `result.*` ## Quick Commands Use `/portfolio` for a compact status overview without verbose explanation. ## Workflow ```text ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ PHASE 1: DATA COLLECTION │ │ 1.

Check Portfolio Status Call `list_accounts` and determine: - Available EUR balance - Available BTC balance (if budget is from BTC) - Current open positions ### 2. Collect Market Data For the relevant currency pairs: **Multi-Timeframe Data Collection**: Fetch candles for multiple timeframes to enable trend alignment analysis: ``` // Primary timeframe (15 min) - for entry/exit signals candles_15m = get_product_candles(pair, FIFTEEN_MINUTE, 100) // Higher timeframes - for trend confirmation candles_1h = get_product_candles(pair, ONE_HOUR, 100) candles_4h = get_product_candles(pair, FOUR_HOUR, 60) candles_daily = get_product_candles(pair, ONE_DAY, 30) // Current price current_price = get_best_bid_ask(pair) ``` **Timeframe Purpose**: | Timeframe | Candles | Purpose | |-----------|---------|---------| | 15 min | 100 | Entry/Exit timing, primary signals | | 1 hour | 100 | Short-term trend confirmation | | 4 hour | 60 | Medium-term trend confirmation | | Daily | 30 | Long-term trend confirmation | ### 3. Technical Analysis For each pair, call MCP indicator tools and interpret the results: **Momentum Indicators** (use MCP tools): ``` rsi = calculate_rsi(candles, period=14) → rsi.latestValue < 30: BUY (+2), > 70: SELL (-2) rsi_div = detect_rsi_divergence(candles) → rsi_div.hasBullishDivergence: +3, hasBearishDivergence: -3 stoch = calculate_stochastic(candles) → stoch.latestValue.k < 20 && stoch.latestValue.k > stoch.latestValue.d: BUY (+2) williams = calculate_williams_r(candles) → williams.latestValue < -80: BUY (+1), > -20: SELL (-1) cci = calculate_cci(candles) → cci.latestValue < -100: BUY (+2), > +100: SELL (-2) roc = calculate_roc(candles) → roc.latestValue crosses 0 upward: BUY (+2) ``` **Trend Indicators** (use MCP tools): ``` macd = calculate_macd(candles) → macd.latestValue.histogram > 0 && macd.latestValue.MACD > macd.latestValue.signal: BUY (+2) → Golden cross (MACD crosses signal from below): +3 ema_9 = calculate_ema(candles, period=9) ema_21 = calculate_ema(candles, period=21) ema_50 = calculate_ema(candles, period=50) → ema_9.latestValue > ema_21.latestValue > ema_50.latestValue: Uptrend (+2) adx = calculate_adx(candles) → adx.latestValue.adx > 25: Strong trend (confirms signals) → adx.latestValue.pdi > adx.latestValue.mdi: Bullish (+2) psar = calculate_psar(candles) → price > psar.latestValue: Uptrend (+1) → SAR flip: ±2 ichimoku = calculate_ichimoku_cloud(candles) → price > ichimoku.latestValue.spanA && price > ichimoku.latestValue.spanB: Bullish (+1) → ichimoku.latestValue.conversion crosses ichimoku.latestValue.base above cloud: +3 ``` **Volatility Indicators** (use MCP tools): ``` bb = calculate_bollinger_bands(candles) → bb.latestValue.pb < 0: Oversold, BUY (+2) → bb.latestValue.pb > 1: Overbought, SELL (-2) → bb.latestValue.bandwidth: Volatility measure (low = squeeze, high = expansion) atr = calculate_atr(candles) → Use for position sizing: High ATR = smaller position keltner = calculate_keltner_channels(candles) → price < keltner.latestValue.lower: BUY (+1) → price > keltner.latestValue.upper: SELL (-1) ``` **Volume Indicators** (use MCP tools): ``` obv = calculate_obv(candles) → OBV trend diverges from price: ±2 mfi = calculate_mfi(candles) → mfi.latestValue < 20: BUY (+2), > 80: SELL (-2) vwap = calculate_vwap(candles) → price > vwap.latestValue: Bullish bias (+1) volume_profile = calculate_volume_profile(candles) → price near volume_profile.pointOfControl: Strong support/resistance ``` **Support/Resistance** (use MCP tools): ``` pivots = calculate_pivot_points(candles, type="standard") → price bounces off pivots.support1: BUY (+2) → price rejected at pivots.resistance1: SELL (-2) fib = calculate_fibonacci_retracement(swingLow, swingHigh) → price at fib.levels[4].price (61.8%): Strong level (±2) ``` **Patterns** (use MCP tools): ``` candle_patterns = detect_candlestick_patterns(candles) → candle_patterns.bullish == true: Overall bullish bias (+2) → candle_patterns.bearish == true: Overall bearish bias (-2) → Check candle_patterns.detectedPatterns for specific patterns (e.g., ["Hammer", "Morning Star"]) chart_patterns = detect_chart_patterns(candles) → Bullish patterns (double_bottom, inverse_head_and_shoulders): +3 → Bearish patterns (double_top, head_and_shoulders): -3 ``` **Calculate Weighted Score**: ``` // Step 1: Normalize each category score (0-100) to weighted contribution momentum_weighted = (momentum_score / 100) × 25 trend_weighted = (trend_score / 100) × 30 volatility_weighted = (volatility_score / 100) × 15 volume_weighted = (volume_score / 100) × 15 sr_weighted = (sr_score / 100) × 10 patterns_weighted = (patterns_score / 100) × 5 // Step 2: Sum all weighted contributions (result: 0-100 range) Final_Score = momentum_weighted + trend_weighted + volatility_weighted + volume_weighted + sr_weighted + patterns_weighted ``` **Note**: Each category's raw score (0-100) is first normalized by dividing by 100, then multiplied by its weight percentage to get its contribution to the final score. See [indicators.md](indicators.md) for detailed calculation formulas. **Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis**: After calculating indicators on the primary 15m timeframe, determine trend direction for higher timeframes: ``` // For each higher timeframe (1h, 4h, daily): // // 1. Calculate MACD (12, 26, 9) // 2. Calculate EMA alignment (EMA9 > EMA21 > EMA50) // 3. Calculate ADX (14) with +DI/-DI // Determine trend: IF MACD > Signal AND EMA(9) > EMA(21) > EMA(50) AND +DI > -DI: trend = "bullish" ELSE IF MACD < Signal AND EMA(9) < EMA(21) < EMA(50) AND -DI > +DI: trend = "bearish" ELSE: trend = "neutral" // Store trend for each timeframe: trend_1h = calculate_trend(candles_1h) trend_4h = calculate_trend(candles_4h) trend_daily = calculate_trend(candles_daily) ``` **Trend Results Example**: ``` BTC-EUR Trend Analysis: 15m: MACD bullish, EMA aligned up, RSI 65 1h: BULLISH (MACD +120, EMA 9>21>50, +DI>-DI) 4h: BULLISH (MACD +80, EMA aligned, ADX 28) Daily: NEUTRAL (MACD near zero, sideways) ``` ### 4. Sentiment Analysis Perform a web search: - Search for "crypto fear greed index today" - Search for "[COIN] price prediction today" for top candidates **Fear & Greed Interpretation**: - 0-10 (Extreme Fear): Contrarian BUY signal (+2 modifier) - 10-25 (Fear): BUY bias (+1 modifier) - 25-45 (Slight Fear): Slight BUY (+0.5 modifier) - 45-55 (Neutral): No signal (0 modifier) - 55-75 (Slight Greed): Slight SELL (-0.5 modifier) - 75-90 (Greed): SELL bias (-1 modifier) - 90-100 (Extreme Greed): Contrarian SELL (-2 modifier) ### 5. Check Stop-Loss / Take-Profit For all open positions, use dynamic ATR-based thresholds: ```json // Use stored values from position entry entry_price = position.entry.price entry_atr = position.riskManagement.entryATR dynamic_tp = position.riskManagement.dynamicTP dynamic_sl = position.riskManagement.dynamicSL // Or recalculate if position > 24h old (with validation): IF entry_price <= 0: → Log: "Invalid entry_price: {entry_price}, using stored values" → Use position.riskManagement.dynamicTP/SL → SKIP recalculation ELSE IF ATR(14) < 0.001: → Log: "ATR too low: {atr}, insufficient volatility data" → Use default: ATR_PERCENT = 2.0 ELSE: ATR_PERCENT = ATR(14) / entry_price × 100 // Calculate TP/SL based on strategy IF session.config.strategy == "aggressive": TP_PERCENT = max(2.0, ATR_PERCENT × 1.5) // 1.5× ATR, floor at 2% SL_PERCENT = clamp(ATR_PERCENT × 2.0, 3.0, 15.0) // 2.0× ATR, 3-15% ELSE IF session.config.strategy == "conservative": TP_PERCENT = 3.0 // Fixed 3% SL_PERCENT = 5.0 // Fixed 5% ELSE IF session.config.strategy == "scalping": TP_PERCENT = 1.5 // Fixed 1.5% SL_PERCENT = 2.0 // Fixed 2.0% ELSE: // Default to aggressive if strategy not recognized TP_PERCENT = max(2.0, ATR_PERCENT × 1.5) SL_PERCENT = clamp(ATR_PERCENT × 2.0, 3.0, 15.0) take_profit_price = entry_price × (1 + TP_PERCENT / 100) stop_loss_price = entry_price × (1 - SL_PERCENT / 100) ``` **Check and Execute**: ``` // Priority 1: Stop-Loss IF current_price <= stop_loss_price: → Immediately sell (STOP-LOSS) using Market Order → Log: "Stop-Loss triggered at -[X]% (ATR-based)" // Priority 2: Take-Profit IF current_price >= take_profit_price: → Secure profit (TAKE-PROFIT) using Limit Order → Log: "Take-Profit triggered at +[X]% (ATR-based)" ``` **Trailing Stop Check** (after SL/TP check): ```json // Update highest price IF current_price > position.riskManagement.trailingStop.highestPrice: position.riskManagement.trailingStop.highestPrice = current_price // Check activation (with validation) IF entry_price > 0: current_profit_pct = (current_price - entry_price) / entry_price × 100 ELSE: → Log: "Invalid entry_price for trailing stop: {entry_price}" → SKIP trailing stop check → current_profit_pct = 0 IF current_profit_pct >= 3.0: position.riskManagement.trailingStop.active = true position.riskManagement.trailingStop.currentStopPrice = position.riskManagement.trailingStop.highestPrice × 0.985 // Priority 3: Trailing Stop IF position.riskManagement.trailingStop.active AND current_price <= position.riskManagement.trailingStop.currentStopPrice: // Ensure minimum profit (covers fees) IF current_price >= entry_price × 1.01: // At least +1% → SELL (Trailing Stop) using Market Order → Log: "Trailing Stop triggered at +[X]% (peak was +[Y]%)" ``` **Report Section**: ``` Position: SOL-EUR Entry: 119.34 EUR Current: 125.00 EUR (+4.7%) Highest: 128.50 EUR (+7.7%) ATR(14): 8.0% Dynamic TP: 143.21 EUR (+20.0%) Dynamic SL: 101.44 EUR (-15.0% capped) Trailing Stop: ACTIVE at 126.57 EUR Status: TRAILING (stop rising with price) ``` ### 6. Rebalancing Check For positions held > 12h with < 3% movement: ```json // Force Exit Check (prevent unlimited stagnation) stagnation_score = (holdingTimeHours / 12) × (1 - abs(unrealizedPnLPercent / 2.0)) IF stagnation_score > 2.0: → FORCE CLOSE (market order) → Reason: "Maximum stagnation threshold exceeded" → Log: "Force closed {PAIR} after {hours}h: stagnation_score={score}, PnL={pnl}%" → SKIP to next cycle (no rebalancing, position is closed) // Example scenarios: // - 24h hold, 0% PnL: (24/12) × (1 - 0/2) = 2.0 × 1.0 = 2.0 (threshold) // - 30h hold, 0.5% PnL: (30/12) × (1 - 0.25) = 2.5 × 0.875 = 2.19 (FORCE CLOSE) // - 24h hold, 1.5% PnL: (24/12) × (1 - 0.75) = 2.0 × 0.25 = 0.5 (continue) // - 36h hold, -1% PnL: (36/12) × (1 - 0.5) = 3.0 × 0.5 = 1.5 (continue, try rebalance) // - 48h hold, 0% PnL: (48/12) × (1 - 0) = 4.0 × 1.0 = 4.0 (FORCE CLOSE) // Calculate opportunity delta current_signal = position.analysis.signalStrength best_alternative = max(all_pairs.filter(not_held AND score > 50).signalStrength) opportunity_delta = best_alternative.score - current_signal // Stagnation check is_stagnant = holdingTimeHours > 12 AND abs(unrealizedPnLPercent) < 3 // Rebalancing decision IF opportunity_delta > 40 AND is_stagnant AND unrealizedPnLPercent > -2: → SELL current position (market order) → BUY best alternative (limit order preferred) → Log: "Rebalanced {FROM}→{TO}: stagnant {X}h, delta +{Y}" IF opportunity_delta > 60 AND unrealizedPnLPercent > -2: → REBALANCE (even if not stagnant, urgent opportunity) ``` **Safeguards**: - Max 1 rebalance per cycle - Max 3 rebalances per day - 4h cooldown between rebalances - 24h block on recently exited positions (no flip-back) - High volatility → increase min delta to 60 **Report Section (Rebalancing)**: ``` ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ REBALANCING ANALYSIS ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Position: SOL-EUR (18h, +1.2%) Status: STAGNANT Current Signal: 25% Best Alternative: ETH-EUR (78%) Opportunity Delta: +53 Recommendation: REBALANCE ✓ Today's Rebalances: 1/3 Last Rebalance: 4h ago (cooldown OK) ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ``` ### 7. Apply Compound After any profitable exit (SL/TP/Trailing/Rebalance): ``` IF netPnL > 0 AND session.compound.enabled: compoundAmount = netPnL × session.compound.rate IF compoundAmount >= 0.10€: IF session.budget.remaining + compoundAmount <= session.compound.maxBudget: session.budget.remaining += compoundAmount ELSE: compoundAmount = maxBudget - session.budget.remaining // Cap at max session.budget.remaining = maxBudget Log compound event to session.compound.compoundEvents[] session.compound.totalCompounded += compoundAmount Report: "Compounded +{X}€ → Budget now {Y}€" ``` **Risk Controls**: ``` // Track win/loss streak IF trade_result == "WIN": session.compound.consecutiveWins++ session.compound.consecutiveLosses = 0 // Un-pause after 2 consecutive wins IF session.compound.paused AND session.compound.consecutiveWins >= 2: session.compound.paused = false session.compound.consecutiveLosses = 0 Log: "Compound re-enabled after {wins} consecutive wins" ELSE IF trade_result == "LOSS": session.compound.consecutiveLosses++ session.compound.consecutiveWins = 0 // Pause after 2 consecutive losses IF session.compound.consecutiveLosses >= 2: session.compound.paused = true Log: "Compound paused after {losses} consecutive losses" // Apply compound only if not paused IF session.compound.paused: Log: "Compound skipped (paused due to losses)" SKIP compound // Determine effective compound rate IF session.compound.consecutiveWins >= 3: effective_rate = session.compound.rate × 0.5 // 50% → 25% Log: "Compound rate reduced to {effective_rate}% after {wins} consecutive wins (risk control)" ELSE: effective_rate = session.compound.rate // Calculate compound amount with effective rate IF net_pnl > 0: compound_amount = net_pnl × effective_rate IF compound_amount >= MIN_COMPOUND_AMOUNT: // e.g., 0.10 EUR session.budget.remaining += compound_amount session.compound.totalCompounded += compound_amount Log: "Compounded {compound_amount}€ at {effective_rate}% rate" ``` - Pause after 2 consecutive losses, resume after 2 consecutive wins - Reduce rate to 25% after 3 consecutive wins (risk control) - Never compound losses ### 7a. Budget Exhaustion Check Before seeking new entries, verify sufficient budget for trading: ``` // Step 1: Get minimum order sizes for potential trades min_order_size_eur = 2.00 // Typical Coinbase minimum in EUR min_order_size_btc = 0.00001 // Example BTC minimum // Step 2: Check if budget allows ANY trade IF session.budget.remaining < min_order_size_eur: // Step 3: Check if rebalancing is possible IF hasOpenPositions AND anyPositionEligibleForRebalancing: // Continue to rebalancing logic (Step 6) // Rebalancing can free up capital for new trades SKIP to Step 8 (Signal Aggregation) after rebalancing ELSE: // No positions to rebalance, insufficient budget for new entry Log: "Budget exhausted: {remaining}€ < minimum {min}€, no positions to rebalance" EXIT session with status "Budget Exhausted" STOP ``` **Key Points**: - Minimum order size is asset-specific (check via `get_product`) - Rebalancing (selling position X to buy position Y) bypasses this check - Only exits if BOTH: insufficient budget AND no rebalanceable positions - This prevents deadlock while allowing capital reallocation ### 8. Signal Aggregation Combine all signals into a decision: **Strategy-Specific Signal Thresholds**: Different strategies require different signal strengths: | Strategy | Min BUY Score | Min SELL Score | Min Categories Confirming | ADX Threshold | |--------------|---------------|----------------|---------------------------|---------------| | Aggressive | +40% | -40% | 2+ | > 20 | | Conservative | +60% | -60% | 3+ | > 25 | | Scalping | +40% | -40% | 2+ (momentum focus) | > 20 | Apply the threshold for the active strategy (session.config.strategy) when evaluating signals. **Calculate Final Technical Score** (normalize to -100% to +100%): | Score Range | Signal | Action | |--------------|-------------|------------------------------| | > +60% | Strong BUY | **BUY** (full position) | | +40% to +60% | BUY | **BUY** (75% position) | | +20% to +40% | Weak BUY | BUY if sentiment bullish | | -20% to +20% | Neutral | **HOLD** | | -40% to -20% | Weak SELL | SELL if sentiment bearish | | -60% to -40% | SELL | **SELL** (75% position) | | < -60% | Strong SELL | **SELL** (full position) | **Combine with Sentiment**: | Technical | Sentiment | Final Decision | |-------------|------------------|---------------------| | Strong BUY | Bullish/Neutral | **EXECUTE BUY** | | Strong BUY | Bearish | BUY (reduced size) | | BUY | Bullish/Neutral | **EXECUTE BUY** | | BUY | Bearish | HOLD (conflict) | | Weak BUY | Bullish | **EXECUTE BUY** | | Weak BUY | Neutral/Bearish | HOLD | | SELL | Bearish/Neutral | **EXECUTE SELL** | | SELL | Bullish | HOLD (conflict) | | Strong SELL | Any | **EXECUTE SELL** | **Multi-Timeframe Alignment Filter**: Apply trend alignment rules BEFORE executing trades: ``` // Rule: Only trade in direction of higher timeframe trend // For BUY signals (score > +40): IF signal_15m > 40: // BUY signal detected // Check higher timeframe alignment IF trend_daily == "bearish" OR trend_4h == "bearish": Log: "BUY signal rejected: conflicts with higher timeframe trend" Log: " Daily: {trend_daily}, 4h: {trend_4h}, 1h: {trend_1h}" signal_strength = signal_strength × 0.3 // Reduce by 70% ELSE IF trend_1h == "bearish": Log: "BUY signal weakened: 1h trend bearish (pullback zone)" signal_strength = signal_strength × 0.7 // Reduce by 30% ELSE IF trend_daily == "bullish" AND trend_4h == "bullish": Log: "BUY signal CONFIRMED: aligned with higher timeframes ✓" // No reduction, proceed with full strength // For SELL signals (score < -40): IF signal_15m < -40: // SELL signal detected // Check higher timeframe alignment IF trend_daily == "bullish" OR trend_4h == "bullish": Log: "SELL signal rejected: conflicts with higher timeframe trend" Log: " Daily: {trend_daily}, 4h: {trend_4h}, 1h: {trend_1h}" signal_strength = signal_strength × 0.3 // Reduce by 70% ELSE IF trend_1h == "bullish": Log: "SELL signal weakened: 1h trend bullish (rally in downtrend)" signal_strength = signal_strength × 0.7 // Reduce by 30% ELSE IF trend_daily == "bearish" AND trend_4h == "bearish": Log: "SELL signal CONFIRMED: aligned with higher timeframes ✓" // No reduction, proceed with full strength ``` **Ideal Entry Scenarios**: - **BUY**: Daily bullish + 4h bullish + 1h pullback (bearish) → Strong BUY on 15m reversal - **SELL**: Daily bearish + 4h bearish + 1h rally (bullish) → Strong SELL on 15m reversal **Trade Filters** (do NOT trade if): - ADX < 20 (no clear trend) - Conflicting signals between categories - ATR > 3× average (extreme volatility) - Volume below average - Higher timeframe trend conflicts with signal (reduced by 70%) See [strategies.md](strategies.md) for strategy configurations. ### 8a. Apply Volatility-Based Position Sizing After determining base position size from signal strength, adjust for volatility: ``` // Step 1: Calculate base position size from signal strength (from Step 8) IF signal_strength > 60: base_position_pct = 100 // Full position ELSE IF signal_strength >= 40: base_position_pct = 75 // 75% position ELSE IF signal_strength >= 20: base_position_pct = 50 // 50% position ELSE: → SKIP trade (signal too weak) // Step 2: Get current ATR and calculate average ATR current_atr = ATR(14) atr_average = calculate 14-day moving average of ATR(14) // Defensive check IF atr_average <= 0: atr_ratio = 1.0 // Default to normal volatility ELSE: atr_ratio = current_atr / atr_average // Step 3: Apply volatility adjustment IF atr_ratio < 1.0: // Low volatility: increase position volatility_multiplier = 1.10 // +10% ELSE IF atr_ratio <= 2.0: // Normal to moderate volatility: reduce slightly volatility_multiplier = 0.90 // -10% ELSE: // High volatility: reduce significantly volatility_multiplier = 0.50 // -50% // Step 4: Calculate final position size final_position_pct = base_position_pct × volatility_multiplier // Step 5: Apply exposure limits (from strategies.md Risk Per Trade section) // Check ALL limits before finalizing position size: // // 1. Max exposure per asset: 33% of budget // - Sum existing positions in same asset + new position // - If total > 33%: reduce new position or SKIP // // 2. Max simultaneous positions: 3 // - Count open positions // - If already at 3: SKIP trade (or force rebalancing first) // // 3. Max risk per trade: 2% of total portfolio // - Calculate: position_size × (SL_distance / entry_price) // - If risk > 2% of initial budget: reduce position size // // See strategies.md lines 145-149 for complete exposure limit definitions final_position_size_eur = session.budget.remaining × (final_position_pct / 100) Log: "Position: {base_position_pct}% (signal) × {volatility_multiplier} (ATR {atr_ratio:.2f}×) = {final_position_pct}% ({final_position_size_eur}€)" ``` **Example Calculations**: - Strong signal (70%), low volatility (0.8× ATR): 100% × 1.10 = 110% (capped at budget) - Medium signal (50%), normal volatility (1.5× ATR): 75% × 0.90 = 67.5% - Strong signal (70%), high volatility (2.5× ATR): 100% × 0.50 = 50% ### 9. Check Fees & Profit Threshold Call `get_transaction_summary` and calculate: **Stage 1: Initial Check (Optimistic - Limit Order fees)** ``` maker_fee = fee_tier.maker_fee_rate // e.g., 0.004 taker_fee = fee_tier.taker_fee_rate // e.g., 0.006 // Signal strength determines likely order type IF signal_strength > 70: // Strong signal → Market order likely entry_fee = taker_fee ELSE: // Normal signal → Limit order attempted entry_fee = maker_fee exit_fee = taker_fee // Exits typically market orders // Minimum Profit calculation round_trip_fee = entry_fee + exit_fee slippage_buffer = 0.003 // 0.3% average slippage MIN_PROFIT_DIRECT = (round_trip_fee + slippage_buffer) × 2 // ~2.2-2.4% MIN_PROFIT_INDIRECT = (round_trip_fee + slippage_buffer) × 4 // ~3.8-4.2% // Check before trading IF expected_move < MIN_PROFIT: → Log: "Trade unprofitable: expected {expected_move}% < required {MIN_PROFIT}%" → SKIP trade ``` **Stage 2: Fallback Re-Check (Conservative - if Limit Order times out)** ``` // At limit order fallback (after 120s timeout) // Re-calculate with Market Order fees entry_fee_market = taker_fee exit_fee = taker_fee round_trip_fee_market = entry_fee_market + exit_fee slippage = 0.003 MIN_PROFIT_FALLBACK = (round_trip_fee_market + slippage) × 2 // ~3.0% IF expected_move < MIN_PROFIT_FALLBACK: → Log: "Fallback unprofitable: expected {expected_move}% < required {MIN_PROFIT_FALLBACK}%" → Cancel limit order, SKIP fallback → Position: None (limit order was not filled) ELSE: → Proceed with Market Order fallback ``` **Fee Report Section**: ``` Fees: Your Tier: [Tier Name] Maker: [X]% Taker: [Y]% Route: [Direct/Indirect] Round-Trip: [Z]% Min Profit Required: [W]% Expected Move: [V]% [✓/✗] ``` ### 10. Pre-Trade Liquidity Check For altcoin market order entries only (skip for BTC-EUR, ETH-EUR, limit orders, exits): 1. Call `get_product_book` for target pair 2. Calculate spread with validation: ```json // Defensive validation against invalid data IF best_bid <= 0 OR best_ask <= 0: → SKIP trade → Log: "Invalid order book data: bid={bid}, ask={ask}" → STOP mid_price = (best_ask + best_bid) / 2 spread = (best_ask - best_bid) / max(mid_price, 0.0001) // Sanity check for suspicious spreads IF spread > 10.0: → SKIP trade → Log: "Suspicious spread: {spread}% (likely data error)" → STOP ```json 1. Decision: - Spread > 0.5% → SKIP trade, log "Spread too high: {X}%" - Spread 0.2% - 0.5% → Reduce position to 50% - Spread < 0.2% → Full position allowed 2. Store `entrySpread` and `liquidityStatus` in position ### 11. Execute Order When a signal is present and expected profit exceeds MIN_PROFIT threshold: **Order Type Selection**: | Signal Strength | Order Type | Reason | |-----------------|------------|--------| | > 70% (Strong) | Market (IOC) | Speed is priority | | 40-70% (Normal) | Limit (GTC) | Lower fees | | < 40% (Weak) | No Trade | - | **Route Selection**: 1. Call `list_products` to check if direct pair exists (e.g., BTC-SOL) 2. IF direct pair exists with sufficient liquidity: → Use direct pair, MIN_PROFIT = 2.0% 3. ELSE (no direct pair or illiquid): → Use indirect route (BTC → EUR → SOL) → MIN_PROFIT = 3.2% → Only trade if expected_profit > 3.2% **For BUY (Limit Order)**: ``` 1. Call get_best_bid_ask for current price 2. Calculate limit_price = best_ask × 1.0005 (slightly above) 3. Call preview_order with limitLimitGtc, postOnly=true 4. If preview OK → execute create_order 5. Wait 120 seconds 6. Call get_order to check status 7. Check fill status and handle partial fills: ``` order_status = get_order(order_id) IF order_status == "FILLED": → Continue (fully filled, no action needed) ELSE IF order_status == "PARTIALLY_FILLED": filled_size = order.filled_size remaining_size = intended_size - filled_size IF remaining_size >= min_order_size: // Stage 2: Re-check profitability with Market Order fees IF expected_move >= MIN_PROFIT_FALLBACK: → Cancel original limit order → Place Market Order for remaining_size ONLY → Log: "Partial fill {filled_size}, fallback for {remaining_size}" ELSE: → Cancel order, accept partial fill only → Log: "Partial fill accepted: fallback unprofitable ({expected_move}% < {MIN_PROFIT_FALLBACK}%)" ELSE: → Accept partial fill, cancel order → Log: "Partial fill accepted: {filled_size} (remaining below minimum)" ELSE IF order_status == "OPEN": // Stage 2: Re-check profitability with Market Order fees IF expected_move >= MIN_PROFIT_FALLBACK: → Cancel order → Place Market Order for full intended_size → Log: "Limit order timeout, fallback to market" ELSE: → Cancel order, SKIP fallback → Log: "Fallback skipped: unprofitable with market fees ({expected_move}% < {MIN_PROFIT_FALLBACK}%)" ``` 1. Record position (coin, amount, entry price, orderType) 2. Save state to trading-state.json ``` **For BUY (Market Order - Strong Signal)**: ``` 1. Call preview_order (Market Order, BUY) 2. If preview OK → execute create_order 3. Record position (coin, amount, entry price) 4. Save state to trading-state.json ``` **For SELL (open position)**: ``` 1. For Take-Profit: Use Limit Order (limitLimitGtc, postOnly=true) 2. For Stop-Loss: Use Market Order (immediate execution) 3. Call preview_order → execute create_order 4. Calculate and log profit/loss (gross and net after fees) 5. Update state file (compound is applied in step 7) ``` ### 12.
