longbridge-market-microstructure
Combines orderbook depth, tick-by-tick trades, and capital-flow data to assess bid-ask spread, order-flow imbalance, liquidity depth, and short-term institutional pressure for a single symbol.
Response language: match the user's input language — Simplified Chinese / Traditional Chinese / English.
When to use
- "TSLA 盘口分析", "NVDA order flow", "700.HK 买卖盘深度" → full microstructure report
- "挂单墙在哪里", "order book imbalance" → depth-only analysis (
depth) - "大单主力方向", "institutional order flow" → trades + capital combined
- "集合竞价分析" (A-share pre-open auction) → depth + trades during auction session
- "港股大宗交易" (HK block trades) → trades with type filter + brokers queue
Do not use this skill for historical (multi-day) flow analysis — route to longbridge-capital-flow or longbridge-kline.
Workflow
- Resolve the user's symbol to
<CODE>.<MARKET>(e.g.NVDA.US,700.HK,600519.SH). - Run
longbridge --helpto see available subcommands; runlongbridge <subcommand> --helpto confirm current flags for each. - Fetch orderbook depth using the depth subcommand with
--format json. - Fetch recent tick trades using the trades subcommand with
--format json(check--helpfor count/range flags). - Fetch capital-flow distribution (large / medium / small orders) with
longbridge capital <SYMBOL> --format json. - For HK symbols only, also fetch
longbridge brokers <SYMBOL> --format jsonto identify large broker queues (potential institutional blocks). - Compute or estimate:
- Weighted bid-ask spread = (best_ask − best_bid) / mid_price
- Depth asymmetry = (total_bid_volume − total_ask_volume) / (total_bid_volume + total_ask_volume) across all levels
- Buy-initiated ratio = buy-side active trades / total trades (from tick data)
- Large-order net pressure = large_buy_amount − large_sell_amount (from capital snapshot)
- Order-wall levels = price levels with volume ≥ 3× average level volume (potential support/resistance)
- Output a structured microstructure report (see Output section).
CLI
# Discover available subcommands and their flags first
longbridge --help
longbridge <subcommand> --help # run for each subcommand before use
# Orderbook depth (5/10-level bid/ask)
longbridge <depth-subcommand> NVDA.US --format json
# Recent tick trades (check --help for count/range flags)
longbridge <trades-subcommand> NVDA.US --format json
# Capital flow (large/medium/small order distribution)
longbridge <capital-subcommand> NVDA.US --format json
# Broker queue — HK symbols only
longbridge <brokers-subcommand> 700.HK --format json
Output
Render a structured report with these sections:
| Section | 简体 | 繁體 | English |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spread & liquidity | 价差与流动性 | 價差與流動性 | Spread & Liquidity |
| Depth asymmetry | 盘口不对称 | 盤口不對稱 | Depth Asymmetry |
| Order-flow pressure | 订单流压力 | 訂單流壓力 | Order-Flow Pressure |
| Order walls | 挂单墙 | 掛單牆 | Order Walls |
| Direction bias | 短线方向偏向 | 短線方向偏向 | Short-Term Directional Bias |
Key field translations (LLM maps JSON keys → user language):
| Field | 简体 | 繁體 | English |
|---|---|---|---|
asks / bids | 卖盘 / 买盘 | 賣盤 / 買盤 | Ask / Bid |
price / volume / order_num | 价格 / 数量 / 委托笔数 | 價格 / 數量 / 委託筆數 | Price / Volume / Order count |
direction | 方向(主买/主卖) | 方向(主買/主賣) | Direction (buy/sell initiated) |
large_in / large_out | 大单流入 / 流出 | 大單流入 / 流出 | Large order in/out |
Off-hours caveat: outside regular trading hours, depth is a closing snapshot and trades are from the prior session — state this explicitly.
A-share call-auction note: during 09:15–09:25 CST (pre-open), depth reflects indicative auction prices, not continuous quotes. Mention this when the user's query occurs in that window.
HK block trades: trades with type = block or large-volume single prints may indicate off-exchange block deals — highlight these separately.

MCP fallback
When the CLI is unavailable, fall back to the MCP server. Discover available tools from the MCP server's tool list at runtime — do not rely on hardcoded tool names.
