market-structure-ta — Claude Code skill: market analysis
This skill reads price structure, liquidity, and entry areas from ticker data. Use it when a technical market review needs levels, a stop, and an R:R plan.
npx skills add Starchild-ai-agent/official-skills --skill market-structure-ta -a claude-codeWhat market-structure-ta does
market-structure-ta combines Wyckoff cycle analysis with SMC/ICT concepts, Al Brooks bar reading, and classical chart structure. It works from higher to lower timeframes: weekly and daily context come first, followed by structure mapping, liquidity, points of interest, and entry confirmation.
The result is a structured trade thesis with a market narrative, key levels, trigger, entry, stop, target, R:R, and invalidation point. The workflow can inspect BOS, CHoCH, order blocks, FVGs, supply and demand areas, volume, and session highs or lows. A clear higher-timeframe picture is required before the skill moves to lower-timeframe entries.
The skill can be installed in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode. It works from ticker and candle data, with the documented workflow calling for 200+ daily bars and 100+ weekly bars.
What it helps with
- map the market phase from higher-timeframe data
- mark meaningful structure and liquidity levels
- locate an entry area using an order block or FVG
- turn a setup into a trade plan with stop, target, and R:R
Example prompts for the agent
- Analyze the market structure for NVDA from higher and lower timeframes.
- Identify the Wyckoff phase for BTC and give me the invalidation level.
- Find an order-block area on SOL and prepare an entry plan with a target and stop.
