What This Skill Does

VibeTrader is a powerful OpenClaw AI agent skill designed to bridge the gap between complex financial trading strategies and natural language interaction. It acts as an automated trading co-pilot, allowing users to create, manage, and monitor AI-driven trading bots without needing to write code. Whether you are interested in stocks, ETFs, crypto, or options, VibeTrader provides a sophisticated interface for portfolio management, backtesting, and real-time market data retrieval. By leveraging your personal VibeTrader API key, the skill integrates directly with your brokerage account, enabling seamless paper and live trading functionality.

Installation

To get started, first obtain your API key from the VibeTrader portal at vibetrader.markets/settings. Once you have your key, you must authenticate the skill within your OpenClaw environment. You can set this up by editing your configuration file located at ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json or by exporting the environment variable directly in your terminal using: export VIBETRADER_API_KEY="vt_your_api_key_here". Once the environment variable is recognized, you can install the skill using the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/naiiif83/naif.

Use Cases

VibeTrader serves several key user personas. For the active trader, it provides a fast way to get real-time quotes, options chains, and Greeks data. For the algorithmic trader, it serves as a powerful engine to deploy strategies—such as RSI crossovers, trailing stop losses, or iron condors—simply by describing them in plain English. The skill is also ideal for testing, allowing users to validate hypotheses via the run_backtest tool before committing capital to a live strategy. Additionally, it offers comprehensive portfolio oversight, allowing users to check balance, monitor open positions, and execute trades instantly.

Example Prompts

1. "Create a momentum bot that buys TSLA when RSI crosses below 30 and sells above 70."
2. "What is my current portfolio value and what trades did my bots execute today?"
3. "Run a backtest on my moving average crossover strategy for the last 60 days on QQQ."

Tips & Limitations

Always start in paper trading mode to verify that your bot logic behaves as expected before allocating real funds. While VibeTrader interprets natural language, precise definitions for technical indicators (like RSI windows or moving average types) lead to better results. Note that the skill relies on your API connection; ensure your network connection is stable during high-volatility market sessions to avoid communication delays with the broker.
