Technicals Desk — The Technical Analyst

Computes technical indicators directly from yfinance daily OHLCV data. No web search. No stale numbers.

🎯 COMMANDS

• .technicals TICKER [TICKER2 ...] — pull technical snapshot(s)
• .technicals watchlist — full watchlist
• .technicals log [N] — recent pulls
• .technicals — menu

📊 WHAT IT COMPUTES

Moving averages: 50, 100, 200-day · above/below flags · golden/death cross
Momentum: RSI(14), ADX(14), ATR(14)
52-week range: high, low, % from each
Volume: today vs 30-day average, % deviation
Fibonacci retracements: from 52-week high to low (0, 23.6, 38.2, 50, 61.8, 100)

All deterministic. All timestamped. All logged.

🚨 THE INVIOLABLE RULE

No rumble cites a technical level (MA, RSI, ADX, Fib) without calling technicals-desk first. Kills the stale-web-data bug for technicals, as price-desk killed it for prices.

🏛️ INTEGRATION

royal-rumble → parent calls technicals-desk → injects into subagent prompt
             → Trend Follower, Simons, Druckenmiller legends get clean inputs
journalist   → pulls technicals before citing any chart level
chief-of-staff → .chief watchlist already combines price + fundamentals;
                 next version adds technicals row

Web search demoted to qualitative only (news, sector story, narrative).

🎭 HONEST LIMITATIONS

✅ Daily EOD indicators (50DMA, 200DMA, RSI etc) — perfect
✅ 52-week range — perfect
✅ Volume analysis — accurate
❌ Intraday indicators — we only pull daily bars
❌ Options-specific technicals (IV skew, max pain) — that's vol-desk territory

For swing/position trading, daily indicators are the right tool.
