Preflight
Run canonical pre-flight per contracts/preflight.md. Propagate X-Agentii-Trace per contracts/x-agentii-trace-header.md.
Methodology
Retrieval Scope

Retrieval Strategy
Query knowledge entries for relevant frameworks; query search_by_analogue for historical cases.
Temporal Scope

Protocol
See ## Protocol section below.
Technical Execution (Entry/Exit Timing)
CRITICAL CONSTRAINT (FR-021): Technical analysis is NOT a trade initiator. Investment ideas originate from L1 (macro), L2 (fundamental), or L3 (strategy). This skill serves ONLY entry/exit timing — when to buy, when to sell, how to manage the position. Never use technical patterns as the primary reason to enter a trade.
Preflight
Run the canonical pre-flight sequence. See contracts/preflight.md. Verify the analysis request has an existing investment thesis from L1/L2/L3 before proceeding.
Protocol
Thesis Anchoring — identify the originating investment thesis (which L1/L2/L3 skill produced it)
