## What it is
The official Python SDK for the Futu OpenAPI, providing market data and trading interfaces for Hong Kong, US, and China A-share markets via the FutuOpenD gateway. It supports both low-frequency REST-style queries and high-frequency push subscriptions for quotes, tickers, K-lines, order books, and order placement.

## Use cases
- fetch real-time stock quotes and K-line data from Futu
- place and manage stock orders programmatically
- subscribe to tick-by-tick and order book push data
- query account positions and order lists for algorithmic trading
- build quantitative trading strategies on HK and US markets
- get market snapshots and sector/plate stock lists

## When to choose
- you trade through Futu (moomoo) brokerage and want programmatic access
- you need both market data feeds and trade execution in Python
- you are building quant strategies on Hong Kong or US equities

## When to avoid
- you use a different broker without a Futu account
- you need a broker-agnostic trading abstraction layer
- you cannot run the FutuOpenD gateway locally, which this SDK requires
