SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It gives you a disciplined workflow for Coinbase spot crypto research and strategy backtesting, resolving product IDs, fetching market data with quality checks, and producing execution-grade backtest artifacts without touching unsupported venues or live trading. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Coinbase Market Data: Resolve spot product IDs, fetch OHLCV candles, order books, latest trades, and best bid/ask with source-quality metadata. - Strategy Backtesting: Run single-product trend-following and mean-reversion backtests on Coinbase OHLCV data, then inspect job status and trade logs by job_id. - Artifact Export: Validate and export execution-grade strategy artifacts for the internal Coinbase paper ledger, with blocking on data-quality failures. - Use Case: Ask for a mean-reversion backtest on BTC-USD over the last year; the skill resolves the product, runs the backtest with execution-venue data policy, reports Sharpe, drawdown, and coverage quality, and exports an artifact only if the run is execution grade. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to backtest a Coinbase spot strategy, for example: run a mean-reversion backtest on BTC-USD 1-hour candles for the past year and show the metrics and data quality.

Frequently Asked Questions about obai-crypto

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I backtest a crypto trading strategy on Coinbase data?▼

Resolve the Coinbase product ID first, then run crypto_backtest_run_strategy with a strategy spec, data config, and execution config using data_source_policy=execution_venue_required. Check source_quality before interpreting metrics, and reference the returned job_id for status and trade logs.

How do I get Coinbase order book and latest price data?▼

Use crypto_get_orderbook for a public order book snapshot and crypto_get_latest_trade or crypto_get_latest_quote for the latest trade and best bid/ask from the public ticker. Resolve the product ID with crypto_resolve_symbol first if it is unclear.

Does this support Binance, Kraken, or other exchanges?▼

No, v1 supports only Coinbase Advanced Trade public market data for spot products. Binance, Kraken, Alpaca, CoinGecko, Kaiko, Glassnode, and similar providers are explicitly out of scope.

Can I backtest derivatives, perpetuals, or DeFi strategies?▼

No, derivatives, perpetuals, funding, open interest, DeFi TVL, yields, and on-chain analysis are not supported in v1. Only single-product Coinbase spot trend-following and mean-reversion backtests are available.

Why was my strategy artifact export blocked?▼

Export is blocked when the backtest job has blocking_quality_warning=true or the data quality is not execution grade, such as incomplete Coinbase candles. The server determines export eligibility, so check the job's source_quality fields for the exact gate.

Can this place live crypto orders?▼

No, no MCP crypto tool places orders and live trading is not supported. The skill covers public market data, backtests, and paper-ledger artifacts only, and never requests Coinbase API keys.
