Install

Research and analysis tools, not financial advice. Some workflows use optional FMP, FINVIZ Elite or Alpaca accounts; the repo's five-skill starter path needs no API key. Open the repository

Run this in your project folder. It works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and dozens of other agents.

$ npx skills add tradermonty/claude-trading-skills --skill market-top-detector

Needs Node.js. Add -g to install for every project, or -a claude-code to skip the agent picker.

How to use Market Top Detector

Once it's installed, Claude reads this skill on its own whenever a request matches what it's for, so you don't have to mention it by name. In Claude Code you can also run it directly by typing /market-top-detector.

It includes scripts that Claude may run on your computer, so skim them on GitHub before you install.
