live-feed

Create a real-time indicator feed using OpenAlgo WebSocket streaming.

Arguments

Parse $ARGUMENTS as: symbol exchange mode

• $0 = symbol (e.g., SBIN, RELIANCE, NIFTY). Default: SBIN
• $1 = exchange (e.g., NSE, NSE_INDEX). Default: NSE
• $2 = mode (e.g., ltp, quote, depth, multi). Default: quote

If no arguments, ask user for symbol and what data they want.

Instructions

1. Read the indicator-expert rules, especially:
   • rules/websocket-feeds.md — WebSocket connection and subscription
   • rules/data-fetching.md — Historical data for buffer initialization
2. Create charts/live/ directory (on-demand)
3. Create {symbol}_live_feed.py
4. Use the template from rules/assets/live_feed/template.py

Feed Types

ltp — Last Traded Price + Indicators

• Subscribe to LTP feed
• Maintain rolling buffer (last 200 ticks)
• Compute EMA, RSI on buffer
• Print real-time indicator values

quote — Full Quote + Indicators

• Subscribe to Quote feed
• Display OHLC + LTP + Volume
• Compute indicators on close buffer
• Color-coded output (bullish/bearish)

depth — Market Depth Analysis

• Subscribe to Depth feed
• Display L5 bid/ask book
• Compute bid-ask spread, order imbalance
• Show total buy vs sell quantity

multi — Multi-Symbol Feed

• Subscribe to multiple symbols
• Display watchlist table with LTP and key indicator
• Auto-refresh display

Cleanup

The script must:

• Handle Ctrl+C gracefully
• Unsubscribe from all feeds
• Disconnect WebSocket
• Print summary of session duration and bars processed

Verbose Levels

Inform user about verbose options:

• verbose=0: Silent mode (errors only)
• verbose=1: Connection and subscription logs
• verbose=2: All data updates (debug mode)
