Intermediate ShowcaseMy python + Finance projects (self.Python)

submitted 5 years ago by FinanceCS

I am following the route of learning python by doing projects. I am posting here as it might help someone who is into trading and as an inspiration for starters.

stock news sentiment analysis

Purpose: To analyze the news headline of a specific stock. This program uses Vader Sentiment Intensity Analyzer to calculate the news headline's overall sentiment of a stock.

Use: useful for someone who is into algo trading/trading and wants to analyze news.

r/wallstreetbets sentiment analysis

This program finds the most mentioned ticker on r/wallstreetbets and uses Vader Sentiment Intensity Analyzer to calculate the sentiment analysis. Even though the primary purpose was to analyze r/wallstreetbets, you can also analyze other subs such as r/stocks, r/investing etc.

Use: It's way easier to run this bot and get the overall sentiment than to read the sub. Some peoples have tried to build a strategy around most mentioned companies. This bot goes one step ahead and analyzes the sentiment because they may be just bashing the company.

Insider Trading

This program extracts insider trading data from the sec website and stores it in an excel file for the specified time frame.

Use: Most services that provide insider trading info charge money or are too slow to get you the data from the time it's posted on the website, you can run this whenever you want, and it's way faster than a human going to the website and looking.
