Finance Research Agent

Overview

This skill provides a complete framework for autonomous financial research. It handles data gathering, analysis, and report generation across multiple asset classes (stocks, crypto, commodities, macro indicators). The agent can operate in different modes: quick snapshots, deep dives, or continuous monitoring.

Key features:

• Multi-source market data (real-time + historical)
• News sentiment analysis
• Technical indicator calculations
• Polymarket position tracking
• Automated report generation (markdown/PDF)
• Alert/watchlist management

Core Capabilities

1. Market Data Research

Fetch current and historical price data for any ticker/symbol.

Example requests:

• “Get me the last 30 days of BTC price data”
• “What’s the current P/E ratio for AAPL?”
• “Show me the 1-hour chart for ETH”

Usage:

from .scripts.data_fetcher import fetch_historical, fetch_current
data = fetch_historical("AAPL", period="1mo", interval="1d")

Supported sources:

• Yahoo Finance (stocks, ETFs, indices)
• CoinGecko (crypto)
• FRED API (macro indicators)
• Polymarket (prediction markets)

2. News & Sentiment Analysis

Scan financial news and extract sentiment/insights.

Example requests:

• “What’s the latest news on Nvidia?”
• “Scan for Fed policy news in the last 24 hours”
• “Summarize sentiment around Tesla”

Process:

1. Query news APIs (Google News, RSS feeds)
2. Filter by relevance (ticker, keywords, date range)
3. Extract sentiment (positive/negative/neutral)
4. Identify key entities and events
5. Summarize findings

Output: JSON with articles, sentiment scores, and summary.

3. Technical Analysis

Calculate indicators and identify patterns.

Indicators included:

• Moving averages (SMA, EMA, WMA)
• RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands
• Volume profiles
• Support/resistance levels
• Candlestick patterns

Example:

Analyze NVDA technicals:
- RSI(14) = 67.3 (neutral)
- Price above 50-day SMA
- MACD bullish crossover

4. Polymarket Integration

Track your active positions and market probabilities.

Features:

• List all active positions
• Check market prices vs. your entry
• Get pending market updates (US-Iran strike dates, etc.)
• Alert on significant probability shifts

Example: “Show my Polymarket positions on Feb 28 Iran strike market”

5. Report Generation

Create professional research reports in markdown or PDF.

Report types:

• Snapshot (1-2 pages): quick overview of a ticker
• Deep Dive (5-10 pages): comprehensive analysis with charts
• Daily Briefing: top movers, news summary, watchlist updates
• Portfolio Summary: aggregate view of all holdings + Polymarket

Templates available:

• assets/templates/report_snapshot.md
• assets/templates/report_deep_dive.md
• assets/templates/daily_briefing.md

Customization: Reports use Jinja2 templates. Edit templates in assets/templates/ to change format, add sections, or modify branding.

6. Watchlist & Alerts

Maintain a watchlist of symbols and receive alerts when conditions are met.

Alert triggers:

• Price thresholds (above/below)
• Volume spikes (>2x average)
• News sentiment shifts
• RSI overbought/oversold
• Polymarket probability changes

Example setup:

watchlist:
  - symbol: BTC-USD
    alerts:
      - price_above: 100000
      - rsi_below: 30

Workflow Examples

Quick Snapshot (10 minutes)

User: “Give me a quick read on AMD”

Agent:

1. Fetch current price and key metrics (P/E, market cap, 52w range)
2. Get last 5 news articles with sentiment
3. Calculate RSI(14)
4. Generate snapshot_report.md using template
5. Output report + key takeaways

Deep Dive (30-60 minutes)

User: “Do a full analysis on Tesla including competitive landscape”

Agent:

1. Historical price data (1y) with technical charts (MA, RSI, volume)
2. Fundamental data (revenue growth, margins, EPS trends)
3. News scan (last 30 days) with sentiment aggregation
4. Competitor comparison (NIO, RIVN, traditional automakers)
5. Options flow / institutional ownership (if available)
6. Generate full report with charts (matplotlib plots saved to assets/charts/)
7. Provide buy/sell/hold recommendation with confidence level

Continuous Monitoring (Scheduled)

User: “Run a daily briefing at 8am CET”

Agent:

1. Scan watchlist symbols for overnight changes
2. Pull top financial news (Bloomberg, Reuters, CNBC)
3. Check Polymarket positions for probability updates
4. Summarize significant moves
5. Send Telegram message with briefing
6. Save full report to memory/daily_briefings/YYYY-MM-DD.md
