| description | Scan OpenTradex-enabled exchanges (Kalshi, Polymarket, Alpaca, crypto) for live markets. Use when the user asks to find trading opportunities, scan markets, see what's moving, or look for candidates to trade. |
Scan Markets
Pull live market candidates from the OpenTradex gateway running on http://127.0.0.1:3210.
Fetch
!`curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:3210/api/scan?exchange=$1&limit=${2:-5}" --max-time 10`
If no $1 / exchange filter was given, omit the query string and scan all rails.
Task
From the fetched data, pick 3–5 candidates that look interesting and return a short report:
- One line per candidate:
{exchange} {symbol} @ {price} — one-line thesis
- Flag anything that looks like it matches the user's saved preferences (if you know them from context).
- End with: "Want me to dig into one of these?"
Do not dump the full JSON. Do not fabricate entries if the list is empty — just say the rail returned nothing right now.
Gateway down?
If the curl fails, respond:
OpenTradex gateway is not reachable on port 3210. Start it with npx opentradex run.
Do not retry.
