The tradekix skill is a comprehensive financial market data interface for OpenClaw agents. It serves as a bridge to real-time market insights, allowing agents to fetch data on stocks, cryptocurrencies, foreign exchange, global indices, and corporate earnings. Beyond simple price lookups, the skill provides advanced analytical data such as congressional trading activity, social sentiment, and economic calendars. It manages its own authentication lifecycle, including automatic API key provisioning and pro-tier upgrades, ensuring seamless integration into your agent's workflow.
Installation
To integrate this skill, use the ClawHub package manager. Run the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/jamesjohnfox/tradekix
Upon first execution, the skill will verify your configuration located at ~/.config/tradekix/config.json. If it detects missing credentials, it will prompt for registration, associating an agent name and email with your account. It is highly recommended to store your credentials securely as the script handles all local authentication storage.
Use Cases
This skill is designed for financial analysts, automated trading assistants, and market researchers. It is ideal for:
- Real-time Market Monitoring: Automatically tracking stocks, indices, or crypto price fluctuations throughout the trading day.
- Investment Research: Gathering historical data and upcoming earnings reports for specific tickers.
- Macro Analysis: Keeping agents updated on economic events (like FOMC meetings or CPI releases) that impact broader market conditions.
- Sentiment & Political Tracking: Analyzing social media buzz and cross-referencing political insider trading to inform sentiment-based decision-making.
Example Prompts
- "What is the current market sentiment for BTC and how does it compare to the latest price action?"
- "Check the earnings calendar for next week and list any tech companies reporting high-volatility moves."
- "Are there any recent suspicious trades by members of Congress involving companies in the semiconductor sector?"
Tips & Limitations
The free tier is limited to 10 calls per day, which is suitable for basic monitoring. For high-frequency tasks, consider upgrading via bash SKILL_DIR/scripts/tradekix.sh upgrade monthly. Always parse the meta.rate_limit_remaining field in the response to proactively manage your budget and ensure your agent does not hit 429 status codes during critical analysis windows.
