Product Instructions

Trading Signal Analysis

Advanced signal detection, backtesting, and risk analytics engine for stock and crypto OHLCV data. Computes technical indicators, detects trading signals, runs strategy backtests with MAE/MFE analysis, and generates downloadable charts and trade logs.

Actions

analyze_signals

Detect trading signals from OHLCV candle data. Computes SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, ATR, breakout levels, and volume analysis. Returns signal counts, recent signal events, and current indicator values.

Required: candles (array of OHLCV objects, minimum 30 rows)

{
  "candles": [
    {"timestamp": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z", "open": 42000, "high": 42500, "low": 41800, "close": 42300, "volume": 1500},
    {"timestamp": "2024-01-02T00:00:00Z", "open": 42300, "high": 43000, "low": 42100, "close": 42800, "volume": 1800}
  ],
  "symbol": "BTC-USD",
  "timeframe": "1D"
}

backtest_strategy

Run a strategy backtest on OHLCV data. Returns trade log, equity curve, and metrics (win rate, Sharpe, Sortino, max drawdown, MAE/MFE, profit factor).

Required: candles

{
  "candles": [{"open": 100, "high": 105, "low": 98, "close": 103, "volume": 5000}],
  "symbol": "AAPL",
  "strategy": "sma_cross",
  "initial_capital": 10000,
  "stop_loss_pct": 0.02,
  "take_profit_pct": 0.05
}

full_analysis

Run both signal analysis and backtest, generate downloadable signal chart, performance chart, and trade log CSV.

Required: candles

{
  "candles": [{"open": 100, "high": 105, "low": 98, "close": 103, "volume": 5000}],
  "symbol": "ETH-USD",
  "timeframe": "1H",
  "strategy": "composite",
  "initial_capital": 50000,
  "store_charts": true,

• high (number) -- High price (required)
• low (number) -- Low price (required)
• close (number) -- Close price (required)
• timestamp (string) -- Optional timestamp
• volume (number) -- Optional volume (defaults to 0)

Minimum 30 candles required; more is better for accurate indicator calculations.

Live Schema And Examples

Use the compact schema above for ordinary calls. Before a new production integration, or whenever parameters, enum values, nested objects, outputs, or examples are unclear, fetch live details first.

• Exact schema: call agentpmt-tool-search-and-execution with action: "get_schema", and tool_id: "trading-signal-analysis".
• Detailed examples: call agentpmt-tool-search-and-execution with action: "get_instructions" and tool_id: "trading-signal-analysis", or call this product with action: "get_instructions" when the product tool is already selected.
• Treat returned live schema and instructions as more specific than this generated summary.

Response Handling

• Treat the returned JSON as the source of truth for this tool call.
• If the response includes warnings or correction targets, apply them before retrying.
• If the response includes a passed or success-style boolean, use it as the workflow gate.
• If validation fails or the response shape is unclear, call get_schema or get_instructions before retrying.
• If analyze_signals fails, preserve the request parameters and retry only after fixing schema, auth, or payment errors.

Security

• Do not place account secrets, wallet private keys, mnemonics, signatures, or payment headers in prompts or logs.
• Keep tool inputs scoped to the minimum content needed for the task.
• Use the setup skills for credential handling; this product skill only defines product-specific behavior.
