Preflight

Run canonical pre-flight per contracts/preflight.md. Include the X-Agentii-Trace header on every tool call per contracts/x-agentii-trace-header.md — carry the _run_id from your first tool result and name yourself (and your parent, if you were spawned).

Methodology

Retrieval Scope

structured_only

Retrieval Strategy

Query knowledge entries for relevant frameworks; query search_by_analogue for historical cases.

Temporal Scope

Protocol

See ## Protocol section below.

Technical Execution (Entry/Exit Timing)

CRITICAL CONSTRAINT (FR-021): Technical analysis is NOT a trade initiator. Investment ideas originate from L1 (macro), L2 (fundamental), or L3 (strategy). This skill serves ONLY entry/exit timing — when to buy, when to sell, how to manage the position. Never use technical patterns as the primary reason to enter a trade.

Preflight

Run the canonical pre-flight sequence. See contracts/preflight.md. Verify the analysis request has an existing investment thesis from L1/L2/L3 before proceeding.

Protocol

1. Thesis Anchoring — identify the originating investment thesis (which L1/L2/L3 skill produced it)
2. Entry Timing — apply L4 frameworks (Wyckoff, Market Profile, volume analysis) to optimize entry
3. Exit Planning — define profit targets and stop levels based on market structure
4. Trade Management — scaling in/out plan, position adjustment triggers
