Market Structure Scan

What This Skill Does

The Market Structure Algorithm is a specialized, rule-based technical analysis engine designed for the OpenClaw AI agent. It systematically evaluates market conditions by calculating a confluence score (from -7 to 7) based on a composite of industry-standard indicators. This skill does not rely on subjective chart patterns like BOS, CHOCH, or SMC, ensuring a strictly quantitative approach. Instead, it aggregates data across three timeframes—5m, 1h, and 4h—to identify trends using Ichimoku Cloud analysis, Bollinger Bands, MACD, RSI(14) with a 14-period smoothed MA, Fibonacci retracement levels, the full EMA Ribbon (5, 8, 13, 21, 50), and Linear Regression. By cross-referencing these indicators, the agent provides actionable signals ranging from 'Strong Bullish' to 'Strong Bearish'. It is intended for analysis and decision support only, adhering to a strict 'no automatic execution' policy to maintain safety.

Installation

To install this skill directly within your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bigedsherer-ctrl/market-structure-scan Ensure your agent has the necessary permissions to access external browser tools, as this skill performs live data fetching from financial portals.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for traders who need a quick, unbiased assessment of asset strength across multiple timeframes. It excels at filtering out market noise by requiring multiple indicators to agree before providing a strong signal. Use it to scan for entries in forex pairs, identify momentum shifts in major cryptocurrencies like BTC or ETH, or verify trend direction in equity markets like SPY or TSLA.

Example Prompts

1. "MSS BTC: Run a full market structure scan on Bitcoin to see if the current trend has confluence."
2. "Scan EURUSD: I need a technical breakdown using the 5m, 1h, and 4h timeframes to determine the short-term bias."
3. "MSS AAPL: Please perform a market structure scan on Apple stock and provide the confluence score."

Tips & Limitations

• The algorithm works best when the market is trending. In extreme range-bound chop, indicator confluence may be lower.
• Always verify the source data; the skill attempts multiple financial web sources to ensure reliability.
• This is an analysis-only tool. It does not interface with broker APIs or execute trades. Users should interpret the signals as part of a broader risk management strategy.
