Whether you are a seasoned programmer or investor, unlocking the power of Python to visualize financial portfolios and building a trading bot that uses a simple conditional-based algorithm is an amazing project.
Trading algorithms or trading 'algos' allow a computer to buy and sell stocks on the stock market. We've put together a blog that demonstrates how Python can be used to build a simple trading bot using packages like pandas and robin-stocks.
The buy and sell conditions we set for the bot are relatively simplistic, but this code provides the building blocks for creating a more sophisticated algorithm that increases the complexity by, for example, introducing machine learning techniques and other financial metrics.
Read the blog and follow the steps to build your own trading bot. We've even included a custom build of ActivePython that includes a version of Python and just the packages the project requires. Give it a look!
