How to paper trade with a human yes on every order with Day Trader Skill

Route approved orders to a paper brokerage account, with a risk check and your typed yes before anything goes out.

Short answer: Keep "paper": true, the default in config.example.json; then 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. All steps.

Credentials. Brokerage keys belong in environment variables, never in the chat, and the connector should stay on the paper account.

Who it is forSomeone who wants to practise day trading with an AI helper but never let it trade on its own.

The problemLetting an agent near a brokerage account is scary when one wrong call can place a real order.

The outcomeBracket orders on a paper account that only go out after the risk check passes and you approve that exact order twice.

What you need first

  • Claude Code (or any Claude chat, without the Python tools)
  • Python 3.8 or newer; nothing to pip install
  • For SEC tools: your name and email in trader/config.json or SEC_USER_AGENT
  • For orders only: a brokerage connector such as Alpaca's MCP server, paper account by default

Steps

  1. Keep "paper": true, the default in config.example.json
  2. Connect a brokerage tool such as Alpaca's MCP server, which defaults to its paper account; keep keys in environment variables
  3. In Claude set the brokerage tool to Needs approval, never Always allow
  4. Run /trader-broker, read the ticket with python3 trader-broker/ticket.py show, and type yes only for the exact order
  5. Add alerts for the stop, target and close with python3 trader-alerts/alerts.py add --from-plan

Prompt for your agent

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.

Caveat. The README notes most people who day trade lose money, and options, margin, shorting and leverage stay off unless you turn them on. Not financial advice: paper trade first, and remember you can lose money.
