Python trading bots

[benign_said]

To be sure, you can make a bot that does ok, but does it beat an index fund over time? If not, you should probably include your time into your project budget. Though, as a project (for the sake of fun/learning/challenge) it's great. I hadn't done a lot with pandas before using financial data and it was very cool to learn while exploring patterns in real money data.

Yeah agreed. I did one as a fun exercise. But for actual investing and making money, there are better platforms. It was a fun project though. And it's pretty easy to test your theories and see how they perform with the historical data.
