## When to Use

Invoke this skill whenever operating automated trading bots targeting European financial exchanges (Euronext Amsterdam/Paris, Xetra, LSE) through DEGIRO. DEGIRO does not maintain a public API SDK — algorithmic integrations utilize reverse-engineered internal web endpoints (`trader.degiro.nl`). This skill provides automated risk scoring, session lifecycle management, order confirmation dry-runs (`checkOrder`), and circuit breaker isolation against account lockout risks.

## Prerequisites

- Active DEGIRO account credentials and 2FA authenticator app.
- Explicit agreement to ToS and legal risk parameters for reverse-engineered API access.

## Workflow

1. **Session Authentication & Token Extraction**:
   - Authenticate via `POST https://trader.degiro.nl/login/secure/login/totp` or standard login.
   - Extract `sessionId` and `JSESSIONID` cookies.
   - Retrieve client information and `intAccount` ID from `/pa/secure/client`.

2. **Evaluate Unofficial API Risk Profile**:
   - Compute `RiskScore` considering 2FA challenge frequency, session expiration, and rate-limiting metrics.

3. **Pre-Trade Order Dry-Run (`checkOrder`)**:
   - Issue POST to `/trading/secure/v5/checkOrder` with product ID, buy/sell action, quantity, price, and order type (`LIMITED` / `MARKET`).
   - Parse estimated fees (`freeCategory`), total value, and transaction validation status before executing.

4. **Order Execution & Circuit Breaker Guard**:
   - If `checkOrder` succeeds and risk score remains within threshold, dispatch to `/trading/secure/v5/order`.

## Common Pitfalls

- **Unannounced Schema Revisions**: DEGIRO regularly updates Web UI endpoints without deprecation notices.
- **Aggressive Session Invalidation**: Re-logging in too frequently triggers automated security locks on retail accounts.
- **Product ID Discrepancies**: Product IDs in DEGIRO are internal integers, not ISINs or tickers. Must resolve product IDs via `/product_search`.

## Verification

- Simulate session authentication and verify `sessionId` and `intAccount` extraction.
- Perform pre-trade `checkOrder` dry-run and verify fee estimation and validation output.
- Run `python scripts/test_degiro_client.py` and confirm 100% pass rate.
