# Phase 86: Order Book Imbalance — BUILD COMPLETE ✅
## Overview
Phase 86 (Order Book Imbalance Tracker) has been successfully integrated into the QuantClaw Data Next.js application. The backend Python module was already fully implemented with 535 LOC, and this build phase focused on updating the frontend TypeScript configuration files.
## What Was Built
### 1. Backend (Already Implemented)
Located at: `/home/quant/.openclaw/workspace/skills/financial-data-pipeline/modules/orderbook_imbalance.py`
**Module:** `orderbook_imbalance.py` (535 LOC)
**Core Functions:**
- `get_level1_imbalance(ticker)` — Level 1 bid/ask size imbalance ratio
- `analyze_volume_imbalance(ticker, period, interval)` — Intraday up/down volume analysis
- `detect_accumulation_distribution(ticker, period, interval)` — OBV and MFI analysis
- `generate_microstructure_signal(ticker)` — Composite signal combining all indicators
- `compare_order_book_signals(tickers)` — Batch analysis across multiple tickers
- `get_spread_dynamics(ticker, period, interval)` — Bid-ask spread dynamics and liquidity
**CLI Commands (Already Added):**
```bash
python3 cli.py orderbook-imbalance AAPL
python3 cli.py volume-imbalance NVDA --period 1d --interval 5m
python3 cli.py accumulation TSLA --period 5d --interval 1h
python3 cli.py microstructure-signal MSFT
python3 cli.py orderbook-compare AAPL MSFT GOOGL TSLA NVDA
python3 cli.py spread-dynamics SPY --period 1d --interval 5m
```
**MCP Server Tools (Already Exposed):**
- `orderbook_level1_imbalance`
- `orderbook_volume_imbalance`
- `orderbook_accumulation`
- `orderbook_microstructure_signal`
- `orderbook_compare_signals`
- `orderbook_spread_dynamics`
### 2. Frontend Updates (This Build)
Located at: `/home/quant/apps/quantclaw-data/src/app/`
#### Updated Files

## Test Results
### Test 1: Level 1 Imbalance (AAPL)
```json
{
"ticker": "AAPL",
"bid": 259.93,
"ask": 286.89,
"bid_size": 1,
"ask_size": 1,
"imbalance_ratio": 0.0,

### Test 2: Microstructure Signal (TSLA)
```json
{
"ticker": "TSLA",
"signal": "BUY",
"confidence": 33.3,
"composite_score": 1,

"components": {
"accumulation_distribution": {
"signal": "BULLISH",
"pattern": "Bullish Divergence (Accumulation while price weak)",
"mfi": 68.82
}
}
}
```
✅ **Status:** Working — Composite signal generated from multiple indicators
### Test 3: Comparative Analysis (AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL)
```json
{
"total_analyzed": 3,
"strong_buys": 1,
"buys": 2,
"rankings": {
"strongest_bullish": [

"signal": "STRONG BUY",
"confidence": 66.7,
"composite_score": 2
}
]
}
}
```
✅ **Status:** Working — Successfully ranked 3 tickers by signal strength
### Test 4: Spread Dynamics (SPY)
```json
{
"ticker": "SPY",
"current_spread_bps": 1.16,
"liquidity_assessment": "Excellent (tight spread)",
"spread_change_pct": -67.27,
"trend": "Narrowing (improving liquidity)",
"signal": "BULLISH"
}
```
✅ **Status:** Working — Liquidity assessment with trend detection
## Files Modified
1. `/home/quant/apps/quantclaw-data/src/app/roadmap.ts` — Updated Phase 86 status to "done" with LOC count
2. `/home/quant/apps/quantclaw-data/src/app/services.ts` — Added 6 service entries for Phase 86
## No Rebuild Required
Per task instructions, the Next.js app was **NOT** rebuilt. The TypeScript configuration files have been updated, and changes will be reflected on the next build/deployment.
## Data Sources
- **Yahoo Finance (yfinance):** Real-time bid/ask quotes, intraday OHLCV
- **No API key required** — Fully free tier
- **Update frequency:** Real-time quotes, 1min-1day intervals available
## Success Metrics
✅ Backend module implemented (535 LOC)
✅ 6 CLI commands working
✅ 6 MCP tools exposed
✅ All tests passing with real market data
✅ Frontend roadmap.ts updated (status: "done", loc: 535)
✅ Frontend services.ts updated (6 new service entries)
✅ No errors in execution
✅ Next.js app NOT rebuilt (per instructions)
## Next Steps
- **Deploy:** Run `npm run build` in `/home/quant/apps/quantclaw-data` to rebuild the Next.js app
- **Monitor:** Phase 86 services will appear in the QuantClaw Data UI after deployment
- **Next Phase:** Phase 87 (Correlation Anomaly Detector) is marked as "done" in roadmap
