Check before each entry
Three checks: unusual flow for this coin (whale_activity), which way big money leans market-wide (market_now), and where the coin sits now (coin_brief: price against its recent average, cost to hold, how crowded one side is).
Before I long SOL: are big buyers or sellers in front, and is that unusual?
Market-wide, which coins is big money net buying, and which net selling?
Give me the pre-trade picture for SOL/USD in one line.

Run your own indicators
CoinLobster ships no moving averages or oscillators. history gives your bot near-live bars for the indicators it already trusts, stamped with the newest bar's age so a stalled feed never passes as live.
Give me the last 300 hourly bars for ETH/USD so my bot can run its own indicators.
# history returns { t, o, h, l, c, v }, oldest first, near-live.

Let your strategy decide
Pass what big money is doing to your strategy as one more input. Your bot makes the call. Nothing here is a forecast.
What you can ask
- Before I long this coin, are big buyers or sellers in front right now?
- Is this move unusual for this coin, or normal for it?
- Give me the last 300 hourly price bars so my bot can run its own indicators.
Common questions
Does this tell my bot what to trade?
No. It gives context: what big money is doing, how crowded a side is, and where price sits against its recent average. Your bot makes the call. Descriptive data, never a forecast.
Can it compute indicators for me?
history returns near-live bars so your bot computes its own. For a summary, coin_brief also returns plain reads: above or below the recent average, and how stretched the move is.
Is the server free?
https://coinlobster.com/mcp is keyless with a rate limit. A free key raises it; a paid plan opens every streamed pair and the full depth.
