Installation

Install the published PyPI package opentrade. The package exposes both opentrade and optr.

uv add -U opentrade
opentrade --help

pip install -U opentrade
opentrade --help

Python 3.10+ is required.

Agent Skills

OpenTrade also provides agent skills for automated investment research workflows.

When you want Codex, Claude Code, or another coding agent to install them, just say:

Please install skills from https://github.com/vortezwohl/OpenTrade, and place them in my global user skill directory.

These skills are designed for automated research across stocks, funds, bonds, futures, and broader market workflows.

Quick Start

1. Search

opentrade search --query AAPL --market US_stock --result-count 5 --format json

Use this when you only know a ticker, keyword, or company name.

2. Latest quote

opentrade quote price latest --symbols AAPL --format json

Use shared quote commands when you want a cross-backend symbol or ticker workflow.

3. History

opentrade quote price history --symbols AAPL --market us_stock --start-date 20250501 --end-date 20250601 --format json

Use history commands when you need candles, backfill, indicators, or exports.

Command Tree

Command	Role	Typical use
search	Keyword-based discovery	Find candidates before you know the exact identifier
resolve	Identifier resolution	Turn a symbol into a provider-specific quote ID when needed
quote	Cross-asset shared queries	Shared latest, history, and profile access
stock	Stock-specific workflows	Price, snapshot, flow, holders, profile
fund	Fund-specific workflows	NAV history, estimates, allocation, managers, reports
bond	Bond-specific workflows	Price, profile, trades, flows
futures	Futures-specific workflows	Catalog, history, live quotes, trades
market	Market-level queries	Live scans and mapping-style lookups
watch	Refresh wrapper	Repeat a supported command on an interval

Output and Defaults

Current real defaults for shared commands:

• --format table
• --indicator-level advanced
• --view observation
• --trace-window 32
• omitted --backend resolves to auto

Practical notes:

• observation is the default public-facing view.
• Use --view raw when you want the unwrapped payload shape.
• json is usually the best target for scripts and agents.
• full gives richer indicator context than advanced, but it costs more backfill and computation.

Indicator Support

Indicator enrichment is a core part of opentrade and remains available on compatible commands.

Level	What it gives you in practice
basic	Core trend and momentum coverage such as MA, EMA, MACD, RSI, KDJ, BOLL, ATR, and OBV
advanced	Broader trend-strength, channel, and money-flow coverage such as ADX, Donchian, Keltner, SuperTrend, MFI, PVT, CMF, VWAP, VR, and PSY
full	Richer structure and market-context layers such as Ichimoku, SAR, Mass Index, Pivot Points, Fibonacci Retracement, support/resistance, Chaikin Oscillator, Chaikin Volatility, and EMV

Representative indicator families:

• Moving averages and base transforms
• Trend and channel indicators
• Momentum indicators
• Volume and money-flow indicators
• Volatility indicators
• Price-structure indicators
• Common Chinese-market technical indicators

See docs/indicator-coverage.md for the fuller list and grouping.

Backend Notes

• Shared commands default to auto, and auto may fall back when an earlier backend candidate fails.
• Shared symbols are not Eastmoney quote_id values.
• yfinance intraday history has strict window limits and is mostly single-symbol oriented in this project.
• A command that succeeds under auto may still have lost enriched observation fields after a failed history backfill on the chosen backend.

See docs/backend-notes.md for deeper backend-specific constraints and troubleshooting notes.
