Moomoo Skills: Connect AI Agents to Real-Time Market Data & Trading
More and more brokerage platforms are building AI assistants to help users quickly check quotes and ask questions — and that's genuinely useful. But if you want AI to analyze the market according to your own strategy, or even run a fully automated investment workflow on your own terminal, a platform's built-in AI tool just won't cut it.
That's exactly where moomoo Skills come in: turning broker-grade market data, trading, and analysis capabilities into standardized skill plugins that any AI Agent can call. You can fully customize your analysis logic, freely combine multiple Skills, and run everything on your own terminal — without being limited by any platform interface.
Whether you're screening TSX-listed stocks, tracking CAD/USD-hedged ETFs, or building a dividend-focused strategy around Canadian banks, moomoo Skills give you the flexibility to tailor your workflow to how you actually invest.
This article covers what each Skill does, how to use them, and how they work together.
What Are moomoo Skills?
Skills are modular add-ons that equip AI Agents with specialized, professional-grade capabilities. If AI is the brain, then Skills serve as its senses and limbs — the "eyes" scanning real-time market data, the "ears" picking up breaking news, and the "hands" placing trades.
What sets moomoo Skills apart is their direct connection to live brokerage infrastructure and institutional-quality data feeds. When you ask something like "what's going on with Apple right now," you're pulling live quotes, the latest corporate filings, and real-time community sentiment straight from moomoo's platform — not stale search results or recycled web content.
How Is This Different from moomoo AI?
You may already use moomoo AI for data lookups, market analysis, and portfolio check-ups — it's great for that. But at its core, it's a predefined interactive flow set by the platform. moomoo Skills are different:
Fully customizable: Arrange your own analysis flow and decision logic based on your investment strategy
Automatable: Set up scheduled tasks on your own terminal — let your AI Agent automatically run monitoring, analysis, and alerts
Programmable: Skills are standardized plugins that integrate seamlessly with your own code, scripts, and other tools
Not bound by the platform UI: Your Agent works the way you want, not the way the app was designed
In short, moomoo AI is "ready to use," and Skills are "use however you want." For users who want to deeply customize their investment workflow, that's a fundamental difference.
What Can moomoo Skills Do?
From live quotes and trading to news analysis and multi-dimensional market signals, moomoo Skills cover the complete investment decision chain.
Market Data & Trading
moomoo-api
Skill details: https://openapi.moomoo.com/moomoo-api-doc/file/moomoo-openapi-skills-EN.html
The two most fundamental things in investing: seeing prices and placing orders. moomoo Skills provide complete capabilities on both fronts.
Market data: Query live quotes, K-line charts, order books, tick-by-tick trades, and intraday data through natural language. Data comes directly from moomoo's market system, covering US, Hong Kong, China A-shares, Singapore, and Japan markets.
Try saying:
"What's Tesla's current price? How much is it up or down today?"
"Pull the 30-day daily K-line for Tencent"
"What does Nvidia's order book look like right now?"
These requests return professional-grade market data — identical to what you see in the moomoo App.
Trade execution: The moomoo API Skill supports 13 order types, including limit orders, market orders, stop-loss orders, trailing stop orders, auction orders, and more — covering the needs of most trading strategies.
Execute complete trading operations in natural language:
"Buy 100 shares of Apple at a limit price of $180"
"Cancel the Tencent order I placed yesterday"
"Check my Hong Kong portfolio — which positions are down more than 10%?"
From checking quotes, placing orders, modifying orders, and cancellations, to checking positions and funds — the entire trading loop happens in one conversation, without switching between AI and the trading app.
Content Analysis
Price alone isn't enough. Investment decisions require understanding what's driving price. moomoo Skills provide a full suite of capabilities from "getting information" to "understanding information."
News Search (moomoo-news-search)
https://www.moomoo.com/en/skillhub/news_search
Search news, announcements, and research reports directly on the moomoo platform. One sentence is all it takes to find what you're looking for.
"Any recent news on Tesla?"
"What's the latest on Google (GOOGL)?"
Stock Digest (moomoo-stock-digest)
https://www.moomoo.com/en/skillhub/stock_digest
When you want a quick read on what's been happening with a stock and what the market thinks, Stock Digest condenses the latest news into a structured summary — covering key events, directional analysis, and source links.
"Give me the latest digest on Tesla"
"Help me understand the latest developments for Nokia (NOK)"
You get a distilled summary of the essentials, not a raw news list — everything you need to understand a stock's latest situation in seconds.
Sentiment Gauge (moomoo-comment-sentiment)
https://www.moomoo.com/en/skillhub/comment_sentiment
Short-term market moves are often emotion-driven. moomoo Skills automatically scan community discussions on moomoo, analyzing bullish/bearish sentiment and discussion heat to help you spot sentiment turning points.
"Is the community more bullish or bearish on BYD right now?"
"Has the discussion heat on Tesla changed recently?"
Particularly valuable for catching sentiment shifts and timing short-term trades.
Multi-Dimensional Signal Analysis
Signal Skills are coming soon. Once live, combined with existing market data, news, and sentiment analysis capabilities, you'll be able to run a full news + technicals + capital flow + derivatives analysis in a single conversation.
Beyond fundamentals and news, experienced investors also watch technical indicators, capital flows, and derivatives markets. moomoo is developing a new set of signal Skills covering all three dimensions.
Technical Signals
Intelligently scans candlestick patterns and pairs them with MACD, KDJ, RSI, and other mainstream technical indicators to catch overbought/oversold conditions, divergences, and pattern breakouts in real time. No need to stare at charts one by one — AI scans for you and flags anomalies.
Capital Flow Signals
Tracks capital distribution, flow direction, and short-selling activity to quickly reveal where market money is focused. What is smart money buying and selling? Is the short ratio abnormal? This data often reflects market intent before price does.
Derivatives Signals
Aggregates unusual options activity, position changes, volatility signals, and callable bull/bear certificate signals. Derivatives market participants tend to be more sophisticated — these signals are often seen as a "smart money" compass.
How to Get Started with moomoo Skills?
Just a few steps to begin:
Get your AI tool ready — any tool works: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Open Claw, or others
Install Skills — just send your AI tool a single instruction and it handles the installation automatically: "Follow the guide to install moomoo Skills: https://www.moomoo.com/skills/moomoo-install.md"
Open the OpenD terminal — this is moomoo's local market and trading gateway; Skills use it to connect to market data and the trading system
Start chatting — ask your AI any investment question in natural language and it will automatically call the right Skill
No coding experience needed, no API documentation to study. If you can use the moomoo App to check quotes and place orders, you can use moomoo Skills.
Combine and Automate: Build Your Own Investment Workflow
One Skill solves one problem. The real power comes from freely combining Skills and automating them.
Trigger Multi-Dimensional Analysis with One Sentence
Say you want a deep dive on Apple:
"Give me a full analysis of Apple's current situation"
Your AI Agent automatically chains multiple Skills together and returns a comprehensive report:
Stock Digest — key recent events and directional analysis
News Search — additional news and announcement details
Sentiment Gauge — retail discussion heat and bullish/bearish consensus
Technical + Capital Signals (coming soon) — any pattern breakouts, capital flowing in or out
Then go straight to trading:
"Looks good — buy 50 shares of Apple at a limit of $190"
From information gathering, multi-dimensional analysis, to trade execution — all in one conversation.
Automated Runs
This is one of the biggest differences between moomoo Skills and platform built-in AI. Because Skills run on your own terminal, you can:
Schedule automatic runs: Set your Agent to automatically check your portfolio and scan news every morning before the open — results delivered to you
Condition-based triggers: Write your own logic — e.g., automatically alert you when a stock's community sentiment flips from bullish to bearish
Batch processing: Run Stock Digest across your entire watchlist at once and generate a daily investment brief
No need to manually open the App, search one by one, click one by one. Let your AI Agent handle the repetitive work — you focus on results and decisions.
Your Account, Your Control — Security Built from the Ground Up
Connecting AI to a live trading account is a big step — so security has to be non-negotiable. moomoo Skills are engineered with multiple layers of protection to keep Canadian investors in full control:
Local execution: Market data and trade operations run through the OpenD local gateway — your core data stays on your machine and never routes through third-party servers.
Manual confirmation on every trade: Every trade instruction generated by AI requires your explicit approval before it goes live — nothing executes without your sign-off.
Granular permissions: You can enable market data Skills without granting trading access — read and write permissions are completely separated, so you choose exactly how much control AI gets.
Broker-grade risk controls: Backed by moomoo's CIRO-regulated brokerage risk management system — the same institutional-level protection you get when trading in the moomoo app.
Bottom line: AI does the heavy lifting, but you always make the final call.
