When to Use
- Use when this upstream workflow matches the user's stated goal.
- Use when the task requires the procedures documented in this skill.
Quantitative analysis frameworks and CLI indicator scripting via Longbridge.
Response language: match the user's input language — English / Simplified Chinese / Traditional Chinese. RULE: Response language priority: English is the default when language is ambiguous. If the user input is only a slash command, command name, ticker / symbol, or contains no natural-language language signal, you MUST respond in English. Do not infer Chinese from trigger keywords, skill metadata, or examples.
Data-source scope: this skill documents Longbridge. If its data is unavailable or insufficient, report the gap rather than inventing data or asserting that other sources are disallowed.
Connector availability: discover the tools actually available in the host; do not assume a Longbridge plugin or parity with CLI capabilities.
When to Use
Trigger when user asks about: quantitative indicator scripts (running against K-line data), pairs trading / cointegration, volatility regime strategies, seasonality / calendar effects, multi-factor stock selection, factor research (IC/IR analysis), factor screening, correlation and cointegration analysis, statistical methods (ADF/GARCH/bootstrap), strategy optimization, execution cost modeling, hedging strategies, or ML-based prediction.

CLI: quant
The quant command runs user-defined indicator scripts against K-line data.
longbridge quant --help
Use longbridge kline <SYMBOL> --format json (from longbridge-market-data) to obtain OHLCV input data.
Quantitative Frameworks
Pairs Trading / Statistical Arbitrage
Engle-Granger cointegration, hedge ratio via OLS, Z-score, half-life of mean reversion, entry/exit signals. See [references/pairs-trading.md].
Volatility Strategy
20-day / 60-day HV, percentile rank, long-vol (buy straddle) vs short-vol (iron condor) regime signals. See [references/volatility-strategy.md].
Seasonality / Calendar Effects
Month-of-year returns (January Effect), day-of-week effects, pre/post-holiday drift, earnings season effect. See [references/seasonality.md].
Multi-Factor Model
Value (1/PE, 1/PB), momentum (60-day), quality (ROE), low-vol (60-day HV) — Z-score composite, TopN portfolio. See [references/multifactor.md].
Factor Research
IC, IR, factor decay, layer backtest, IC-weighted combination. See [references/factor-research.md].
Factor Screening
Batch screening with PE, PB, ROE, revenue growth, dividend yield filters. See [references/factor-screen.md].
Correlation & Cointegration
Pairwise return correlation, rolling correlation, Johansen test. See [references/correlation.md].
Quantitative Statistics
ADF unit-root test, GARCH volatility modeling, regression diagnostics, bootstrap. See [references/quant-stats.md].
Strategy Optimizer
Parameter sweep, walk-forward optimization, out-of-sample validation. See [references/strategy-optimizer.md].
Execution Model (Backtest)
Slippage formulas (linear / square-root), VWAP/TWAP logic, market impact estimation. See [references/execution-model.md].
Hedging Strategy
Beta hedging, options protection, tail-risk hedging, cross-asset hedging. See [references/hedging.md].
ML Strategy (sklearn)
Rolling walk-forward Random Forest / Gradient Boosting, feature engineering, signal generation. See [references/ml-strategy.md].
Auth requirements
quant execution is analytical but sends the supplied script to a remote service. Market-data access can require login/entitlements; positions require explicit account-access scope. Verify installed CLI capabilities and current permissions. Do not submit proprietary strategy code without authorization.
Error handling
| Situation | Response |
|---|---|
command not found: longbridge |
Install longbridge-terminal |
ModuleNotFoundError: sklearn |
Run pip install scikit-learn |
| Insufficient data for ADF test | Need at least 50 observations; increase kline history |
MCP fallback
Use MCP server for kline data if CLI unavailable. Discover tools at runtime.

Examples
User: Apply this skill to my current task.
Assistant: Follow the workflow in this skill, cite limitations, and ask before risky steps.
Limitations
-
This skill performs analysis, not order execution. Strategy descriptions are hypotheses requiring realistic costs, liquidity, borrow/margin and out-of-sample validation. Do not invent recommendations from missing data.
-
For historical research, require point-in-time constituents and fundamentals with publication timestamps; current values cannot support a historical factor backtest. Adjust prices for corporate actions and align currency, timestamps and trading calendars.
-
Cite Longbridge only when data was actually retrieved there; report its timestamp, coverage and adjustments. Redact credentials/private account data from errors and reports.
-
Imported upstream skill; verify credentials, permissions, and safety boundaries before execution.
-
Does not replace environment-specific validation, testing, or maintainer review.
