Trader Price Alerts (trader-alerts)

Turns a trade plan into stop, target and flat-by-close alerts, tracks NYSE hours, and pulls free delayed quotes.

AutomationIntermediate★ 2,833⑂ 628AI score 9/10Last updated: Oct 20, 2026

What it does

  • Reads trader/plan.json and creates three alerts in one go: the stop, the target and "flat by close".
  • Supports above/below/stop/target levels, percent moves from the previous close, any time of day, and the NYSE opening bell.
  • Computes New York time and DST itself, with 2026–2027 holidays and 1:00 p.m. early closes built in.
  • Fetches free delayed quotes (Yahoo chart JSON, Stooq CSV) one ticker at a time and writes trader/prices.json for sizing and risk checks.
  • Each rule rings once per day, and the skill never places, cancels or changes an order.

Who it's for

  • Day and swing traders who can't watch the chart all session
  • Traders with bracket orders at the broker who just want to be told when a level is hit
  • Users of the companion trader-exit / trader-risk / trader-broker skills

Examples

  1. "Alert me when TSLA hits 358.32" → alerts.py add --symbol TSLA --stop 358.32
  2. Right after trader-exit writes a plan: add --from-plan creates stop, target and 15:55 flat-by alerts dated to that session
  3. "Is the market open?" → alerts.py clock reports open/closed and the next open
