Solo traders and indie builders documenting weekly chart bias on stocks, ETFs, or other liquid symbols.
Skip if: Fully systematic backtesting pipelines, fundamental-only investing, or intraday scalping playbooks that need sub-hour granularity.
When should I use this skill?
User wants a technical analysis report, weekly chart review, trend and MA commentary, or structured TA for a symbol.

You get a dated, sectioned weekly TA document you can review, share, or archive before placing or sizing a trade.
- Weekly technical analysis markdown report with dated header
Recommended Skills
Journey fit
Research is the canonical shelf: the skill outputs decision-support narrative before you commit capital or automate a strategy, not after you ship product code. Research fits chart-driven due diligence—trend structure and key levels—rather than validate-stage prototyping or grow-stage analytics on live users.
How it compares
Structured narrative template for human-readable TA—not a live market data integration or execution bot.
