ibd-distribution-day-monitor
Detect IBD-style Distribution Days for QQQ/SPY (close down at least 0.2% on higher volume), track 25-session expiration and 5% invalidation, count d5/d15/d25 clusters, classify market risk (NORMAL/CAUTION/HIGH/SEVERE), and emit TQQQ/QQQ exposure recommendations. Use after market close, before TQQQ exposure changes, or as input to FTD/market-state frameworks. Does not execute trades.

# IBD Distribution Day Monitor ## Purpose Detect IBD-style Distribution Days for major market ETFs (QQQ as Nasdaq proxy, SPY as S&P 500 proxy) and produce a daily market deterioration signal plus a TQQQ/QQQ exposure recommendation. Designed for post-market review. ## When to Use Invoke this skill: - Daily after the US market close. - Before increasing TQQQ exposure or rebalancing leveraged positions. - When evaluating whether an uptrend is becoming vulnerable to a correction. - As an upstream input to FTD (Follow-Through Day) detection or other market-state frameworks. Do NOT use this skill to: - Execute trades or modify orders. - Generate discretionary market predictions outside of the IBD ruleset. ## Inputs - Symbols (default: QQQ, SPY) and lookback (default 80 trading sessions). - Optional `--as-of YYYY-MM-DD` for backtesting against a historical session. - Strategy context: instrument (TQQQ or QQQ), current exposure %, base trailing stop %. - FMP API key via `--api-key`, `config.data.api_key`, or `FMP_API_KEY` env var (in that priority order). ## Core Rules A Distribution Day is detected when: 1. Today's close is at least 0.2% below yesterday's close. 2. Today's volume is great

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add BaggaT236/AI-Trading-Skills --skill ibd-distribution-day-monitor --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From BaggaT236/AI-Trading-Skills, a repository with 118 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
