AI Behavioral Rules

Once the skill is installed, it injects structured guidelines into your AI’s system prompt. These guidelines enforce several strict trading habits:

  • Source and Timestamp Validation: The AI will refuse to quote or analyze prices without referencing a verified source and a recent timestamp.
  • Risk-Based Position Sizing: The AI is instructed to calculate position sizes based on the monetary loss you accept (your risk tolerance) rather than an arbitrary lot size.
  • Pre-Entry Invalidation: The AI will define a clear invalidation level (stop-loss) before describing any trade entry setup.
  • Correlation Risk Management: The AI will group highly correlated symbols together and treat them as a single exposure, preventing hidden risk concentration.
  • Proposal Safety: The AI is instructed to propose trades for your review rather than simulating or assuming immediate execution.
  • Credential Protection: The AI is trained to actively refuse any API keys, browser cookies, or session tokens pasted into the chat window, instructing you on safer connection routes instead.

MCP Integration

In addition to risk behaviors, the skill teaches your AI how to locate, configure, and communicate with the remote VarianTrade Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at https://api.variantrades.com/mcp/rpc.

If you choose to link your VarianTrade account, this skill allows your AI to seamlessly invoke VarianTrade tools to read your portfolio, review active signals, check risk profiles, and stage trade proposals during your conversation.
