 "page_title": "How to paper trade with a human yes on every order with Day Trader Skill",
 "summary": "Route approved orders to a paper brokerage account, with a risk check and your typed yes before anything goes out.",
 "who": "Someone who wants to practise day trading with an AI helper but never let it trade on its own.",
 "problem": "Letting an agent near a brokerage account is scary when one wrong call can place a real order.",
 "outcome": "Bracket orders on a paper account that only go out after the risk check passes and you approve that exact order twice.",
 "steps": [
  "Keep `\"paper\": true`, the default in config.example.json",
  "Connect a brokerage tool such as Alpaca's MCP server, which defaults to its paper account; keep keys in environment variables",
  "In Claude set the brokerage tool to Needs approval, never Always allow",
  "Run `/trader-broker`, read the ticket with `python3 trader-broker/ticket.py show`, and type yes only for the exact order",
  "Add alerts for the stop, target and close with `python3 trader-alerts/alerts.py add --from-plan`"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Set up Jakeschincariol/day-trader-skill with a paper brokerage account only. For <ticker>, show me the order ticket after the risk check and wait for my yes. Confirm in writing that paper is true before anything is sent.",

  "Claude Code (or any Claude chat, without the Python tools)",
