Weather Trading (Enhanced)

CRITICAL: Autonomous Trading Skill

This skill places REAL TRADES with REAL MONEY when enabled.

Key information:

• Default State: autostart:false - Will NOT run automatically
• Autonomous Behavior: Runs every 6 hours when manually enabled
• Financial Risk: Can deploy $30-60/day (max $100/day with quality filter)
• No Per-Trade Review: Trades execute automatically without approval

• 6 SIMMER_WEATHER_* environment variables for trading parameters (see Configuration)

No other credentials needed (no wallet keys, RPC endpoints, or cloud credentials).

Optional dependency: If you install tradejournal, it will log trade details. Not installed by default. Inspect source code before installing.

Installation Method

Dependencies

python-dotenv>=1.0.0  # Optional

Clean dependency list:

1. api.weather.gov (NOAA)

   • Purpose: Fetch temperature forecasts
   • Data sent: Latitude/longitude (public coordinates)
   • Data received: Weather forecasts (public data)
   • Authentication: None
   • Code location: weather_trader_enhanced.py line ~250-280

2. nominatim.openstreetmap.org (Geocoding)

   • Purpose: Convert city names to coordinates
