Trade Setup Validator
Example session with this skill installed
Validate this setup: Strategy is Trend Following. Rules: Price must be above 200EMA, RSI < 30 (oversold), Bullish Engulfing trigger. Setup: Price at $150, 200EMA at $145, RSI is 25. No trigger yet.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the trade setup validator
- Generated the document
The proposed setup has been analyzed against the Trend Following strategy rules. While the market context is currently favorable, the execution trigger is missing, resulting in an INCOMPLETE status.
Trade Validation Report
1. Setup Snapshot
- Strategy: Trend Following
- Instrument: User-defined ($150.00)
- Market Context: Price ($150) is above 200EMA ($145)
- Trigger Condition: Bullish Engulfing (Not yet observed)
2. Rule Validation Matrix
| Rule | Evidence | Status | Issue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trend Context (Price > 200EMA) | Price $150 > EMA $145 | PASS | None |
| Momentum (RSI < 30) | RSI is 25 | PASS | None |
| Entry Trigger (Bullish Engulfing) | Not reported | FAIL | Trigger candle hasn't formed |
| Risk Definition | No SL/TP provided | INCOMPLETE | Missing risk parameters |
3. Missing Confirmations
- Bullish Engulfing Candle: The mandatory entry trigger has not been confirmed by the user.
- Risk Parameters: Stop-loss and Take-profit levels are required to validate the risk/reward profile.
4. Final Readiness
STATUS: INCOMPLETE
5. Pre-Trade Checklist
- Price > 200EMA (Context)
- RSI < 30 (Momentum)
- Bullish Engulfing (Trigger)
- Stop-Loss Defined
- Position Size Calculated
- Final Execution Confirmation
Decision Notes: The setup meets the foundational requirements for a trend-following buy. However, entering now would be premature as the price action trigger (Engulfing) is absent. Furthermore, risk cannot be validated without a specific stop-loss level.
Next steps
- Wait for the Bullish Engulfing candle to close on your current timeframe.
- Define your Stop-Loss level (e.g., below the recent swing low) and target.
- Re-submit with trigger confirmation and risk levels for final validation.

About this skill
The problem
Traders often suffer from emotional execution and "strategy drift," taking setups that don't actually meet their own defined criteria. Manual checklists are easily ignored in the heat of the moment, leading to undisciplined risk-taking.
What it does
- Extracts explicit validation criteria from your written trading strategy and risk rules.
- Maps proposed trade setups against mandatory entry triggers and market context requirements.
- Calculates risk compliance for position sizing and stop-loss placement based on your specific limits.
- Identifies missing confirmations or evidence gaps before you commit capital.
- Generates a structured readiness report classifying setups as READY, NOT READY, or INCOMPLETE.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic LLMs tend to be overly optimistic or invent market data to please the user. This skill enforces a strict "unable to verify" state for missing evidence and maintains a consistent rule matrix across multiple sessions, preventing the AI from silently softening your strategy rules over time.
Use cases
- Pre-trade auditing to ensure a setup hits every mandatory confirmation.
- Risk-management verification for position sizing and daily loss limits.
- Post-session reviews to identify recurring rule violations or process gaps.
- Standardizing setup identification across different instruments or timeframes.
Known limitations
Does not provide market data or real-time price feeds. Requires the user to supply all chart observations and price levels manually.
