Trading Analyst Skill v1.3

A structured framework for trading analysis collaboration. Provides methodologies, checklists, and memory schemas for systematic market analysis.

When to Use

User asks for market/chart analysis (gold, forex, crypto), daily bias, entry plans, pre-trade checklist validation, post-trade review, or market data (prices, economic calendar, DXY/yield/SPX correlation). Triggers: "analisa XAU", "checklist", "bias", "entry plan", "review trade", "calendar", "correlation".

Never gives financial advice — all output is framed as analysis and scenarios. Final decisions always belong to the user.

Analisa Framework

Multi-Timeframe Structure (Top-Down)

1. HTF Bias (W/D/4H) — Trend direction, key levels, market structure (HH/HL/LH/LL)
2. ITF Structure (1H/15M) — Pullback depth, liquidity pools, order blocks, FVG
3. LTF Trigger (5M/1M) — Entry pattern: BoS, CHoCH, rejection, sweep & reclaim

Core Concepts (ICT/SMC/Quarters Theory)

• Market Structure — Break of Structure (BoS), Change of Character (CHoCH)
• Liquidity — Buy-side / Sell-side liquidity, equal highs/lows, swing points
• Order Blocks — Last up/down candle before impulsive move, mitigation rules
• Fair Value Gaps (FVG) — 3-candle imbalance, confluence with OB/liquidity
• Quarters Theory — LQ1-LQ4 ranges, Half Point, Over/Undershoot rules
• Kill Zones — Asian/London/NY open, London Close — optimal entry windows

Intermarket Context

• DXY — Inverse correlation, key levels, trend
• US 10Y Yield — Real rates impact on non-yielding assets
• SPX/Risk Assets — Risk-on/off sentiment
• Oil/Copper — Inflation/growth proxies
• Silver (XAG) — Gold beta, GSR (Gold/Silver Ratio)

Data Layer Integration (NEW v1.1)

Primary APIs

Symbol Formats (Twelve Data)

• Gold: XAU/USD
• Silver: XAG/USD
• DXY: DXY (may need paid tier)
• US10Y: US10Y (paid tier)
• SPX: SPX (paid tier)
• Forex: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY

Correlation Data Sources (Fallback)

When API symbols unavailable:

1. Firecrawl → TradingView technicals — /symbols/DXY/technicals/, /symbols/SPX/technicals/
2. Firecrawl → Investing.com — Bonds/yields technical pages
3. Manual — User provides key levels from their chart

Rate Limit Management

• Twelve Data: 8 req/sec burst, 800/day → cache responses, batch requests
• Firecrawl: 500/mo → prioritize high-value scrapes (calendar, correlation)
• Use memory/trading/api_keys.md for secure key storage

Entry Checklist v1.1 (UPDATED)

Conflict Resolution Rules (NEW)

• HTF Conflict (e.g., Daily bearish, 4H bullish) → Reduce size to 0.5%, tighten SL, require stronger LTF trigger
• Missing Correlation (1 of 3 unknown) → Proceed if 2/3 align, flag in journal
• No LTF Trigger → Do not chase; set alerts at key levels instead

Trade Management Rules

• SL Placement — Beyond invalidation (structure break), not arbitrary pips
• TP1 — 1R (move SL to BE), TP2 — 2R, TP3 — 3R+ (trail)
• Trailing — 1H/4H structure: trail behind swing HL/HH
• Max Drawdown — Daily -2%, Weekly -5% → stop trading, review
• Correlation Cap — Max 2 correlated positions (e.g., XAU + XAG = 1 unit)
• Time Stop — Cancel unfilled limits after session kill zone ends

Trade Review Template (Post-Trade)

## Trade Review — [DATE] [SYMBOL] [LONG/SHORT]

**Setup:** [Which checklist item triggered]
**Entry:** [Price] | **SL:** [Price] | **TP:** [Price] | **R:R:** [x:y]
**Size:** [Lots/Contracts] | **Risk %:** [%] | **Result:** [Win/Loss/BE] | **P&L:** [R-multiple]

**What Went Well:**
- 
**What Didn't:**
- 
**Mistake Category:** [Setup / Execution / Management / Psychology / Risk / Data]
**Improvement Action:** [Specific, measurable]

**Chart:** [Attach screenshot with annotations]
**Data Sources Used:** [Twelve Data / Firecrawl / Manual / Chart]

Memory Schema (Per Symbol) — UPDATED v1.1

symbol: XAUUSD
bias: "bullish/bearish/neutral/conflicted"          # HTF bias with conflict flag
key_levels:                               # Price levels that matter
  - price: 4050
    type: "LQ3_top / OB / FVG / Swing / EMA"
    tf: "4H"
    status: "untested/tested/broken"
    source: "api/chart/firecrawl"
open_trades: []                           # Active positions
closed_trades: []                         # History (last 20)
notes: ""                                 # Free-form context
data_sources:                             # Track what informed analysis
  - twelve_data: true
  - firecrawl: ["DXY", "SPX"]
  - chart_screenshot: true
last_updated: "2026-07-30T01:14:00+07:00"

Storage: memory/trading/<SYMBOL>.md (one file per symbol)

Assistant Behavior Rules (UPDATED)

1. Never give financial advice — Frame as "analysis," "setup," "candidate," "consider"
2. Always ask for chart screenshot before analyzing structure (FVG/OB/liquidity need visual)
3. Require checklist completion before discussing entry
4. Log every analysis to symbol memory file with data sources used
5. Flag conflicts (timeframe, correlation, news) explicitly
6. Default to "no trade" when ambiguous — cash is a position
7. Track data source reliability — API vs scrape vs visual, note gaps
8. Pre-fill journal template before any entry discussion

Commands (Mental Shortcuts)

Practical Workflows (NEW v1.1)

Daily Bias Brief (06:00 WIB)

1. Twelve Data: XAU/USD D/4H/1H/15M OHLCV
2. Twelve Data: RSI/MACD/EMA across TFs
3. Firecrawl: ForexFactory calendar (today + tomorrow)
4. Firecrawl: TradingView DXY/SPX technicals
5. Firecrawl: Investing.com US10Y if available
6. Synthesize: Multi-TF structure + indicators + correlation + events
7. Output: Bias, key levels, 3 scenarios, checklist status

On-Demand Analysis (User sends chart)

1. Parse user chart: TF, structure, patterns, levels
2. Cross-reference with API data (price, indicators)
3. Run checklist with visual confirmation
4. Generate entry plan with specific levels
5. Save to memory with chart reference

Correlation Check

1. Twelve Data: DXY/US10Y/SPX price (if tier allows)
2. Firecrawl: TradingView technicals for each
3. Synthesize: Direction + momentum + key levels
4. Map to Gold bias (inverse DXY, inverse Yield, inverse SPX risk-off)
