Trading Research Skill

Comprehensive cryptocurrency trading research and analysis focused on Binance markets. Designed for conservative-moderate risk traders using DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) strategies with technical analysis support.

When to Use This Skill

Activate when user requests:

Core Philosophy

• Conservative first: Preserve capital, minimize risk
