Weather Trading (Enhanced)

CRITICAL: Autonomous Trading Skill

This skill places REAL TRADES with REAL MONEY when enabled.

Key information: - Default State: autostart:false - Will NOT run automatically - Autonomous Behavior: Runs every 6 hours when manually enabled - Financial Risk: Can deploy $30-60/day (max $100/day with quality filter) - No Per-Trade Review: Trades execute automatically without approval

Installation & Security

Credentials

Required: - SIMMER_API_KEY - Trading API key from simmer.markets/dashboard

Optional (non-secret configuration): - 6 SIMMER_WEATHER_* environment variables for trading parameters (see Configuration)

No other credentials needed (no wallet keys, RPC endpoints, or cloud credentials).

Optional dependency: If you install tradejournal, it will log trade details. Not installed by default. Inspect source code before installing.

Installation Method

• Manual installation (no automatic scripts)
• Place files in ~/.openclaw/skills/weather-enhanced/
• Create .env file with API key
• No automatic system writes

Dependencies

python-dotenv>=1.0.0  # Optional

Clean dependency list: - Uses built-in urllib (no requests library) - No web3, telegram bot, or other unused dependencies - Optional: tradejournal for trade logging (commented out in requirements.txt)

Network Endpoints

7w4.net小葱技能站收录全网优质技能，值得收藏。

This skill connects to 3 endpoints:

1. api.weather.gov (NOAA)
2. Purpose: Fetch temperature forecasts
3. Data sent: Latitude/longitude (public coordinates)
4. Data received: Weather forecasts (public data)
5. Authentication: None

6. Code location: weather_trader_enhanced.py line ~250-280

7. nominatim.openstreetmap.org (Geocoding)

8. Purpose: Convert city names to coordinates
9. Data sent: City name string (e.g., "Chicago")
10. Data received: Lat/lon coordinates
11. Authentication: None

12. Code location: weather_trader_enhanced.py line ~200-230

13. api.simmer.markets (Trading)

14. Purpose: Execute trades, read portfolio
15. Data sent: SIMMER_API_KEY (bearer token), trade orders
16. Data received: Trade confirmations, positions, balance
17. Authentication: Bearer token
18. Code location: weather_trader_enhanced.py line ~300-350

Note: If you install the optional tradejournal dependency, it may add endpoints.

Security Guarantees

• No other network connections in code
• API key never logged to disk or console
• API key sent only to api.simmer.markets
• No tracking, analytics, or telemetry
• No data exfiltration
• All network calls visible in source (use grep to verify)

API Key Permissions

Your SIMMER_API_KEY should have: - Read portfolio (required) - Read positions (required) - Place trades (required) - NO withdrawal permissions - NO account modification permissions

Create least-privilege key: 1. Visit simmer.markets/dashboard → SDK tab 2. Create new API key 3. Select "Trading Only" if available 4. Never grant withdrawal rights 5. Store in .env file (git-ignored) 6. Rotate key after testing

Configuration Storage

• .env file: Contains SIMMER_API_KEY (never committed)
• config.json: Trading parameters only (no secrets)
• No persistent logs
• All data ephemeral (console output only)

Note: Legacy variables WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY and POLYGON_RPC_URL in .env are unused (web3 removed).

Safety Features

• Default: autostart disabled - Must manually enable
• Quality filter (60%) - Skips low-liquidity markets
• Position limits ($5) - Caps risk per trade
• Trade limits (5/run) - Maximum 5 trades every 6 hours
• Entry threshold (15%) - Only buys undervalued markets
• Exit threshold (45%) - Auto-sells at profit

Before Enabling

DO NOT SKIP THESE STEPS

1. Review Source Code

# Inspect main trading logic
cat weather_trader_enhanced.py | less

# Verify network endpoints (should only find 3)
grep -n "urlopen\|Request\|http" weather_trader_enhanced.py

# Check API key usage (should only send to simmer.markets)
grep -n "api_key\|SIMMER_API_KEY" weather_trader_enhanced.py

# Check optional tradejournal usage
grep -n "tradejournal\|log_trade" weather_trader_enhanced.py

2. Understand Platform Behavior

OpenClaw metadata controls: - autostart:false = Skill will NOT run on startup (safe default) - cron:"0 */6 * * *" = Schedule (executes only when autostart enabled) - Enable by editing line 5: change autostart:false to autostart:true - Verify this method with OpenClaw docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai/ - Manual file editing prevents accidental activation - Alternative: Run manually without enabling autostart

When enabled: Runs every 6 hours (12am, 6am, 12pm, 6pm) When disabled: 100% inactive

3. Verify API Key Permissions

Check your Simmer API key: - Can read portfolio? (required) - Can place trades? (required) - Can withdraw funds? (should be NO) - Can modify account? (should be NO)

If your key has withdrawal permissions, create a new trading-only key.

4. Test Live Trading

# Check balance first
python scripts/status.py

# Execute live trades (start with small balance)
python weather_trader_enhanced.py --live --smart-sizing

• Monitor closely on simmer.markets/dashboard
• Verify trades execute correctly
• Let positions resolve (1-3 days)
• Analyze results

5. Enable Autonomous Trading (Optional)

Only after successful manual testing.

OpenClaw uses metadata-based activation: - Skills enable via autostart field in SKILL.md - Verify with OpenClaw docs or platform UI - Manual editing prevents accidental activation

Steps: 1. Edit SKILL.md line 5 (the metadata line) 2. Change "autostart":false to "autostart":true 3. Save file 4. Restart: openclaw restart 5. Check logs to verify scheduled runs

Manual runs only (alternative):

python weather_trader_enhanced.py --live --smart-sizing

This gives full control over trade timing.

Quick Start

# Check balance
python scripts/status.py

# Execute live trades
python weather_trader_enhanced.py --live --smart-sizing

# Optional: Dry run for testing
python weather_trader_enhanced.py --dry-run

Requirements

• SIMMER_API_KEY from simmer.markets/dashboard → SDK tab
• USDC balance in Simmer wallet

Configuration

Configure via environment variables or config.json:

Features

• Dynamic Confidence - Adjusts 60-90% based on forecast lead time
• Market Quality Scoring - Filters low-liquidity markets
• Smart Geocoding - Supports any US city
• Enhanced Parsing - Better temperature bucket detection
• Retry Logic - Recovers from API failures

Commands

# Live trading
python weather_trader_enhanced.py --live --smart-sizing

# Check positions
python weather_trader_enhanced.py --positions

# View config
python weather_trader_enhanced.py --config

# Set config
python weather_trader_enhanced.py --set entry_threshold=0.20

# Optional: Dry run for testing
python weather_trader_enhanced.py --dry-run

How It Works

1. Fetches NOAA forecasts for target locations
2. Discovers weather markets via Simmer API
3. Calculates edge using dynamic confidence model (adjusts 60-90% based on forecast timing)
4. Filters markets by quality score (liquidity, volume, time)
5. Executes trades when price < entry threshold
6. Auto-exits when price > exit threshold

Dynamic confidence adjusts based on lead time: - Same day: 90% - 1 day out: 88% - 2 days out: 85% - 3 days out: 80% - 7+ days: 60%

Market quality scoring weights: - Liquidity (40%) - Volume (30%) - Time to resolution (20%) - Price extremes (10%)

Only trades markets with score ≥ 60%.

Troubleshooting

"SIMMER_API_KEY not set" Set env var or add to .env file

"No weather markets found" Normal if no active markets on Polymarket

"Position size too small" Increase max_position_usd or use --smart-sizing

"Quality score too low" Market filtered for low liquidity/volume
