name	parallax-watchlist-monitor
description	Monitor a watchlist of tickers: flag score changes, news alerts, technical shifts, and analyst updates via Parallax MCP tools. Provide list of symbols. NOT for single stock analysis (use /parallax-deep-dive), not for portfolio diagnostics (use /parallax-morning-brief).
negative-triggers	["Single stock deep dive → use /parallax-deep-dive","Portfolio with weights → use /parallax-morning-brief or /parallax-client-review","Building a portfolio → use /parallax-portfolio-builder"]
gotchas	["JIT-load _parallax/parallax-conventions.md for RIC resolution, parallel execution, fallback patterns, and the §0.1 integer-param serialization caveat","This is a surveillance skill — optimized for breadth over depth","get_score_analysis with 4-8 weeks is sufficient for detecting recent changes — fire all in parallel. `weeks` is non-default here and must be passed as a typed integer at the call site (see conventions §0.1)","Only call get_news_synthesis for names with significant score changes (saves API calls)","Rank output by magnitude of change — most-changed at top"]

Watchlist Monitor

Surveillance scan across a list of tickers — flag what's changed, what needs attention.

Usage

/parallax-watchlist-monitor AAPL.O MSFT.O GOOGL.O AMZN.O META.O NVDA.O TSLA.O
/parallax-watchlist-monitor AAPL.O JPM.N XOM.N JNJ.N weeks=8

Workflow

Call ToolSearch with query "+Parallax" to load the deferred MCP tool schemas before the first mcp__claude_ai_Parallax__* call. Execute using mcp__claude_ai_Parallax__* tools:

Score Scan — For each symbol, call get_score_analysis with weeks as int N, where N is the user-supplied value from the invocation (e.g., weeks=8) or 8 if none provided. This is non-default (server default is 52) — see conventions §0.1 for the serialization caveat. Compute change in total score over the period.
Flag Movers — Identify symbols with significant score changes (>1 point total score change or any factor moving >2 points).
News Check — For flagged symbols only, call get_news_synthesis to identify catalysts.
Technical Check — For flagged symbols, call get_technical_analysis for trend changes.
Analyst Check — For flagged symbols, call get_stock_outlook with aspect="recommendations" for consensus shifts.

Output Format

Watchlist Summary (table: all symbols, current total score, score change, alert flag)
Alerts (ranked by magnitude of change):
- Symbol — score change, which factors moved, brief catalyst
Stable Names (one-liner each — "no material changes")
Recommended Actions (which names warrant a deeper look via /parallax-deep-dive)

Keep it scannable. Lead with what changed.
