## What it does

Three phases. Phase 1, `screen_parabolic.py`, pulls EOD bars and company profiles from FMP, applies hard invalidation rules, then scores survivors on five factors weighted 30/25/20/15/10 and assigns A/B/C/D grades. Phase 2, `generate_pre_market_plan.py`, takes that JSON, filters by `--tradable-min-grade` (default `B`), checks Alpaca short inventory and SEC Rule 201 SSR state from the prior-day close, and renders three trigger plans per candidate: ORL break, first red 5-min bar, VWAP fail.

Phase 3, `monitor_intraday_trigger.py`, reads the plan, fetches 5-min bars, walks each plan's finite state machine one step forward and writes JSON with `state`, `entry_actual`, `stop_actual` and `shares_actual`. It is one-shot: run it every 1–5 minutes via `watch` or cron. Re-running inside the same minute returns the same state, since bars are replayed from the open up to `now_et`.

Phase 1 needs `FMP_API_KEY`; phases 2 and 3 need `ALPACA_API_KEY` and `ALPACA_SECRET_KEY`. Without the Alpaca keys the planner falls back to `ManualBrokerAdapter`, marks every candidate `borrow_inventory_unavailable` and sets `plan_status: watch_only` — so you cannot act on that plan until you confirm the locate with your broker yourself. Both phases can be tested without API access against shipped fixtures: `--dry-run --fixture` for the screener, `--bars-source fixture` for the monitor.

## When to use it
- build a daily parabolic short watchlist from the S&P 500
- turn a watchlist into pre-market plans with borrow and SSR gating
- see which manual reasons block an entry and which are advisory only
- catch a trigger fire on 5-min bars and resolve a concrete share count
- run the whole pipeline on fixtures without market data keys

## Example prompts
- build today's parabolic short watchlist in safe_largecap mode
- generate a pre-market plan from reports/parabolic_short_2026-04-30.json with account size 100000 and risk 50 bps
- check trigger fires for reports/parabolic_short_plan_2026-05-05.json against live Alpaca bars

Covers Phase 1 + Phase 2 + Phase 3.

## Overview

Generate Qullamaggie-style Parabolic Short watchlists and conditional
pre-market plans for US equities. The skill never sends orders. It emits
JSON + Markdown that a human reviews against their broker before entry.

Three phases:

- **Phase 1 (`screen_parabolic.py`)**: pulls EOD bars + company profile
  from FMP, applies hard invalidation rules (mode-aware), scores
  survivors on 5 factors (weights 30/25/20/15/10), and assigns A/B/C/D
  grades.
- **Phase 2 (`generate_pre_market_plan.py`)**: takes the Phase 1 JSON,
  filters by `--tradable-min-grade` (default `B`), checks Alpaca short
  inventory (or `ManualBrokerAdapter`), evaluates SEC Rule 201 SSR
  state from the inherited prior-day close, and renders three trigger
  plans per candidate.
- **Phase 3 (`monitor_intraday_trigger.py`)**: reads the Phase 2 plan,
  fetches 5-min bars (Alpaca live or fixture), walks each plan's FSM
  forward by one step, persists per-plan state, and writes an
  `intraday_monitor` JSON with `state`, `entry_actual`, `stop_actual`,
  and `shares_actual` (when triggered). One-shot — trader runs it
  every 1–5 min via `watch` or cron; replay-deterministic so re-runs
  are byte-identical.
