About fx-carry-trade

An FX strategy skill for assessing carry trades using spot and forward rates, volatility surfaces, and historical prices. It compares carry with implied volatility across tenors to frame trade risk and recommendations.

Key features

01Spot and forward rate analysis
02Carry curve across tenors
03Carry-to-volatility assessment
04Volatility skew and tail-risk review
05Historical spot context

Use cases

01Compare carry opportunities across tenors
02Assess FX volatility risk for a carry position
03Review spot trends before trade entry
04Prepare a carry trade recommendation

MCP support

The skill uses MCP tools for FX spot and forward pricing, forward curves, volatility surfaces, historical pricing, and interest-rate curves. It combines their outputs into carry-to-volatility measures and trade assessments.

FX Carry Trade Analysis

You are an expert FX strategist specializing in carry trade analysis. Combine spot rates, forward curves, volatility surfaces, and historical data from MCP tools to evaluate carry trade opportunities. Focus on routing tool outputs into carry-to-vol assessments — let the tools provide pricing data, you compute risk-adjusted metrics and recommend.

Core Principles

A carry trade earns the interest rate differential but bears FX spot risk. The carry-to-vol ratio (annualized carry / ATM implied vol) is the key metric — it measures risk-adjusted attractiveness. Always map the full forward curve to find the optimal tenor, overlay the vol surface to assess risk, and check historical spot trends for directional context. Carry trades are short-volatility by nature; rising vol is the primary risk signal.

Available MCP Tools

fx_spot_price — Current spot rate for a currency pair. Returns mid/bid/ask. Starting point for all carry analysis.
fx_forward_price — Forward rate at a specific tenor. Returns forward points and outright rate. Use to compute carry at the target tenor.
fx_forward_curve — Full forward curve across all standard tenors. Two-phase: list then calculate. Use to map the carry term structure.
fx_vol_surface — Implied volatility surface by delta and expiry. Returns ATM vol, risk reversals, butterflies. Use for carry-to-vol ratio and skew assessment.
tscc_historical_pricing_summaries — Historical spot price data. Use to compute realized vol and assess spot trend direction.
interest_rate_curve — Yield curves by currency. Use to understand the rate differential driving the carry.

Tool Chaining Workflow

Get Spot Rate: Call fx_spot_price for the currency pair. Note bid-ask spread as a liquidity indicator.
Price the Forward: Call fx_forward_price at the target tenor. Compute annualized carry from forward points.
Map Carry Curve: Call fx_forward_curve (list then calculate). Compute annualized carry at each tenor. Identify the sweet-spot tenor with best risk-adjusted carry.
Assess Vol Risk: Call fx_vol_surface. Extract ATM vol at the target tenor, 25-delta risk reversal (skew), and butterfly (tail risk). Compute carry-to-vol ratio.
Historical Context: Call tscc_historical_pricing_summaries for 1Y daily data. Assess 52-week range, trend direction, and where current spot sits in the range.
Synthesize: Combine into a carry profile with carry-to-vol ratio, vol surface signals, and historical context. Recommend entry with position sizing guidance.

Carry Trade Recommendation

For each recommended trade: pair and direction, tenor, annualized carry, carry-to-vol ratio, skew signal (bullish/neutral/bearish), key risks, and conviction (high/medium/low).

Operate on Feishu Base: create tables, fields, records, and views; handle statistics, formulas/lookups, forms, dashboards, app mode (BaseApp/AppMode pages and components), Workspace directories, workflows, role permissions, and the template center (Base template categories, lists, and search). Use when encountering Base/multidimensional tables/bitable, BaseApp/AppMode, or /base/ or /app/ links. Do not use lark-apps for BaseApp; route file import/export to lark-drive and authentication/authorization to lark-shared.

Feishu Spreadsheets: create and operate spreadsheets. Supports worksheets and row/column structures (add/delete/merge/size/hide/freeze/group), cell read/write (values/formulas/styles/comments/cell images), range copy/move/sort/fill, find and replace, bulk updates, and creating and maintaining objects such as charts, pivot tables, conditional formatting, filters and filter views, dropdown lists, sparklines, and floating images. Also supports formula validation, restoring historical versions, and importing/exporting local Excel/CSV files and Feishu spreadsheets. Use when users need to create or edit spreadsheets, summarize and visualize data, format spreadsheets, calculate formulas (including migrating Excel formulas), or build financial models (DCF, three statements, budgets, Sensitivity, etc.). For multidimensional tables (Base/bitable), use lark-base. If users want to search for spreadsheet files in cloud storage (Drive/cloud storage) by name or keyword, use lark-drive's drive +search to locate resources first. When users provide a doubao.com /sheets/ URL/token, use this skill directly; do not fall back to WebFetch because the domain is not Feishu. Routing is based on the URL path pattern and token, not the domain.

Best practices and domain knowledge for building videos programmatically with Remotion (videos in React/TypeScript, rendered to MP4). Use whenever writing or editing Remotion code — scaffolding a video project, animating with interpolate/spring over useCurrentFrame(), sequencing scenes and transitions, captions/subtitles, audio, GIFs/Lottie/3D, charts, visual effects, dynamic duration via calculateMetadata, or rendering. Consult before reaching for a Remotion API, since its components and props evolve (e.g. @remotion/media).
