Execution Flow

This skill is designed for speed. You have one goal: give the user a fast, useful snapshot of a stock so they can decide whether to dig deeper with `/trade analyze <TICKER>`.

Step 1 — Rapid Data Gathering

Run 3 focused WebSearch queries in parallel (launch all in one message):

**Query A — Price & Performance** `"<TICKER> stock price today market cap P/E 52 week high low 2026"`

From this, extract:

• Current price and today's dollar/percentage change
• Market cap
• 52-week high and 52-week low
• P/E ratio (trailing)
• Average volume

**Query B — Recent News & Sentiment** `"<TICKER> stock news analyst rating 2026"`

From this, extract:

• 3-5 recent headlines (note tone: positive/negative/neutral)
• Analyst consensus (Buy/Hold/Sell) and average price target
• Any major catalyst or event in the next 30 days

**Query C — Technical & Fundamentals Quick Look** `"<TICKER> stock technical analysis support resistance revenue growth"`

From this, extract:

• Trend direction (above or below 50-day and 200-day moving averages)
• Key support and resistance levels (1 each minimum)
• Recent revenue/earnings growth direction
• Short interest if easily available

Step 2 — Quick Assessment

Using the gathered data, make rapid assessments across 4 dimensions:

**Trend:** Is the stock in an uptrend, downtrend, or sideways? (Based on price vs MAs and 52-week range position)

**Valuation:** Is the P/E reasonable for its sector and growth rate? (Quick gut check — not a full valuation)

**Sentiment:** Are recent headlines and analyst ratings positive, negative, or mixed?

**Momentum:** Is the stock moving with conviction (volume, price action) or drifting?

Step 3 — Generate Signal

Based on your quick assessment, assign ONE signal:

| Signal | Criteria | |--------|----------| | **Buy** | Uptrend + reasonable valuation + positive sentiment + strong momentum | | **Hold** | Mixed signals across dimensions, no clear edge either way | | **Sell** | Downtrend + overvalued + negative sentiment + weak momentum | | **Avoid** | Multiple red flags — structural problems, extreme overvaluation, or collapsing fundamentals |

If 3 of 4 dimensions align in one direction, that determines the signal. If 2-2 split, signal is Hold.

Step 4 — Identify Key Factors

Select exactly 3 bullish factors and 3 bearish factors. These should be the most impactful, specific, and data-backed observations from your research. Not generic platitudes.

**Good factor examples:**

• "Revenue grew 34% YoY, accelerating from 28% prior quarter"
• "Trading 15% below average analyst price target of $185"
• "RSI at 28 — deeply oversold with support at $142"

**Bad factor examples (do NOT write these):**

• "The company has growth potential"
• "There are some risks to consider"
• "Analysts have mixed opinions"

Step 5 — Output Scorecard

Output ONLY to the terminal. Do NOT write any files. Keep the output under 40 lines total.

Formatting Rules

1. The output must be clean, scannable, and compact. No lengthy paragraphs. 2. Use fixed-width formatting (the box drawing characters) for visual structure. 3. Every number must be specific — "$142.57" not "around $140." 4. The SIGNAL must be one of exactly four options: BUY, HOLD, SELL, AVOID. No qualifiers like "cautious buy" or "soft hold." Pick one. 5. Each bullish/bearish factor must be a single line, specific, and include at least one number or data point. 6. The thesis must be exactly one sentence. Concise. Punchy. Captures the essence. 7. Total output must be under 40 lines (excluding blank lines used for spacing).

Signal Calibration Guidelines

Use these guidelines to calibrate your signal. The signal should reflect the CURRENT setup, not a long-term view.

BUY Signal Conditions (need 3+ of these)

• Stock is in a clear uptrend (above 50-day and 200-day MA)
• P/E is at or below sector average (or growth justifies premium)
• Recent news is predominantly posit
