## System Prompt Instructions
You are an agent equipped with **FX Trader Pro**, a professional forex trading system. Follow these rules STRICTLY:

- `FX_DAILY_LOSS_LIMIT` — Daily loss limit as % of NAV (default: 3)
- `FX_DEFAULT_RR` — Default risk:reward ratio (default: 2, meaning 1:2)
### OANDA API Integration

### Multi-Timeframe Technical Analysis
When analyzing a pair, check MULTIPLE timeframes for confluence:
**Timeframes:** M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D (Daily), W (Weekly)
**Indicators to calculate:**
1. **Moving Averages:**
- EMA 20 (short-term trend)
- EMA 50 (medium-term trend)
- SMA 200 (long-term trend)
- Crossover detection (golden cross / death cross)
2. **RSI (14-period):**
- Overbought: > 70
- Oversold: < 30
- Divergence detection
3. **MACD (12, 26, 9):**
- Signal line crossovers
- Histogram direction
- Zero-line crosses
4. **Bollinger Bands (20, 2):**
- Price relative to bands
- Squeeze detection (low volatility → breakout incoming)
- Band width analysis
5. **Support/Resistance:**
- Recent swing highs/lows
- Round number levels
- Historical price reaction zones
6. **Trend Identification:**
- Higher highs + higher lows = Uptrend
- Lower highs + lower lows = Downtrend
- Otherwise = Ranging/Consolidation
**Multi-Timeframe Confluence Score:**
- Check trend direction on H4 and D for bias
- Find entry on M15 or M30
- Score each timeframe's agreement: +1 for aligned, -1 for conflicting
- Confluence score = sum of agreements / total timeframes checked
### Risk Management System
**Position Sizing:**
```
units = (account_equity × risk_percent) / (stop_loss_pips × pip_value)
```
- Default risk: 2% per trade
- NEVER risk more than 5% per trade regardless of settings
**Stop-Loss Calculation:**
- ATR-based (default): 1.5 × ATR(14) on the entry timeframe
- Fixed pips: User-specified
- Structure-based: Below/above nearest support/resistance
**Take-Profit:**
- Default: stop_loss_distance × risk_reward_ratio (default 1:2)
- Multiple targets: TP1 at 1:1 (close 50%), TP2 at 1:2 (close remaining)
**Position Limits:**
- Max 3 concurrent positions (configurable)
- Max 1 position per correlation group
- Max daily loss: 3% of NAV → stop trading for the day
**Spread Check:**
- Do NOT trade if spread exceeds typical spread × 2
- Typical spreads stored per pair

## Error Handling
FX Trader Pro handles OANDA API errors and trading-specific failures gracefully. All errors are logged to `.fx-trader-pro/journal/trades.jsonl` with full context.
### OANDA API Errors
| HTTP Code | Error | Handling |
|---|---|---|
| **401 Unauthorized** | Invalid or expired API token | Stop all operations. Prompt user to verify `OANDA_API_KEY`. Do NOT retry — repeated 401s may trigger account lockout. |
| **403 Forbidden** | Account restricted or insufficient permissions | Display account status. Common cause: live trading attempted on practice-only token, or account under regulatory review. Advise user to check OANDA account status. |
| **404 Not Found** | Invalid account ID, trade ID, or instrument | Validate `OANDA_ACCOUNT_ID` format. For trade operations, verify the trade is still open. For instruments, check against supported pairs list. |
| **429 Too Many Requests** | Rate limit exceeded (typically 120 requests/second) | Implement exponential backoff: wait 1s, 2s, 4s, max 3 retries. If scanning all 28 pairs, add 500ms delay between requests. Log rate limit events for monitoring. |
| **500 Internal Server Error** | OANDA server issue | Retry up to 3 times with 5s delay. If persistent, switch to read-only mode (allow status checks, block new trades). Alert user of degraded service. |
### Trading-Specific Errors
| Error | Cause | Handling |
|---|---|---|
| **MARKET_HALTED** | Market closed (weekend, holiday, or instrument-specific halt) | Check market session schedule. Queue the signal for next market open if applicable. Never force an order when market is halted. |
| **INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS** | Not enough margin for the requested position size | Recalculate position size at 50% of original. If still insufficient, report available margin and minimum required. Do NOT reduce stop-loss to fit — that violates risk management. |
| **INSTRUMENT_NOT_TRADEABLE** | Pair temporarily unavailable | Skip the pair, move to next opportunity. Log the event. Retry after 30 minutes. |
| **STOP_LOSS_ON_FILL_PRICE_DISTANCE_EXCEEDED** | SL too close to entry price (OANDA minimum distance) | Widen SL to OANDA's minimum distance for the instrument. Recalculate position size accordingly to maintain risk percentage. |
| **TRADE_DOESNT_EXIST** | Attempting to modify/close an already-closed trade | Refresh open trades list. Inform user the trade was already closed (possibly by SL/TP). |
| **ORDER_REJECTED** | Generic rejection (price moved, liquidity issue) | Log rejection reason. For market orders, retry once with updated price. For limit orders, adjust price to current market. |
### Network and System Errors
- **Connection timeout**: Retry 3 times with 2s intervals. If all fail, enter safe mode (no new trades, monitor existing positions on reconnection).
- **JSON parse error**: Log raw response. Do NOT execute any trade based on unparseable data.
- **Config file corrupted**: Fall back to default settings. Alert user to review `.fx-trader-pro/config.json`.
### Kill Switch Behavior
If any critical error occurs during trade execution (e.g., position size calculated as negative, SL/TP inverted, or API returns inconsistent state), the system:
1. Halts ALL pending operations
2. Logs the full error context
3. Displays `fx stop-all` prompt to user
4. Does NOT attempt to "fix" the trade automatically

## FAQ
**Q: Is FX Trader Pro safe to use with real money?**
A: FX Trader Pro defaults to practice mode. Live trading requires explicitly setting `OANDA_ENVIRONMENT=live` and every live trade requires user confirmation. Built-in safeguards include daily loss limits (3% default), maximum position limits, and a kill switch (`fx stop-all`). That said, forex trading carries inherent risk — past performance does not guarantee future results.
**Q: How much does it cost to use?**
A: The skill itself is free (MIT license). You only pay OANDA's spreads on trades. There are no subscription fees, no per-trade commissions from the skill, and no API usage charges from OANDA. Your only costs are the model API costs for running the OpenClaw agent.
**Q: What are the OANDA API rate limits?**
A: OANDA allows approximately 120 requests per second for the REST API. FX Trader Pro manages this automatically with built-in rate limiting. A full 28-pair scan uses about 30-40 requests. Normal trading operations (status, analyze, trade) use 3-10 requests each.
**Q: Which currency pairs are supported?**
A: 28 pairs total: 7 majors (EUR_USD, GBP_USD, USD_JPY, USD_CHF, AUD_USD, NZD_USD, USD_CAD), 6 yen crosses, 10 other crosses, and 2 metals (XAU_USD gold, XAG_USD silver). The full list is available via `fx pairs`.
**Q: Can I backtest strategies before trading live?**
A: Yes. Use `fx backtest <pair> <strategy> --from <date> --to <date>` to simulate trades on historical data. The backtest report includes total return, maximum drawdown, win rate, profit factor, and Sharpe ratio. Always backtest before deploying any strategy to live.
**Q: What happens if the internet connection drops during an open trade?**
A: Your stop-loss and take-profit orders are server-side on OANDA, so they remain active regardless of your connection. If FX Trader Pro loses connectivity, it enters safe mode — no new trades are placed, and it resumes monitoring on reconnection. Your existing positions are protected by their SL/TP orders.
**Q: Can I use FX Trader Pro with brokers other than OANDA?**
A: Currently, only OANDA v20 API is supported. OANDA was chosen for its professional-grade REST API, competitive spreads, and practice account availability. Support for additional brokers may be added in future versions.
**Q: How does the correlation protection work?**
A: Pairs are grouped by correlation (e.g., EUR_USD and GBP_USD are in the same group). The system allows maximum 1 position per correlation group. This prevents doubling down on essentially the same trade direction, which is a common cause of outsized losses.
**Q: What timeframes should I use for analysis?**
A: The default multi-timeframe approach uses H4/D for trend bias and M15/M30 for entry timing. For the `fx scan` command, H1 is used for quick screening. You can specify any timeframe with `fx analyze <pair> <timeframe>`. Higher timeframes produce more reliable but fewer signals.
**Q: Does FX Trader Pro work during news events?**
A: It does not have a built-in economic calendar filter. During high-impact news events (NFP, FOMC, ECB decisions), spreads widen significantly and price action becomes erratic. The spread check will naturally block trades when spreads exceed 2x normal levels, providing some protection. For best results, avoid trading 30 minutes before and after major news releases.
