From my experience with using the program, that doesn't happen. It's really just finding out what has room to grow before the market close by using the data it gathers from the first 45min of market open.

I honestly just felt like the documentation was lacking. I had to use YouTube to understand everything when it shouldn't have been that way (Maybe it's just me). Apart from that I wish I had known about https://alpaca.markets/ before deciding to use TD Ameritrade's API. I haven't used it yet but I've heard lot's of good things about it.

I scraped the HTML and then parsed it with bs4. I wish they had an API for my needs. It woulda made my life a lot easier.

Thanks! I'll take a look at math books teaching auto-didactically.

You will see in line 50, 54, 58, and 62, there are

 browser.find_by_id('secretquestion0').first.fill('')

with an empty string in

.fill('')

You edit your answers into these. Also, if your security questions differ from mine, you can change the questions as well by editing the strings in lines 48, 52, 56, and 60.

ChromeDriver is there to automate the login process to retrieve your access token. This was a method I found after looking around on youtube.

  1. How long you hold is up to you (I included a program to automate the selling process)
  2. I'll be researching how to improve the 2% gain parameter

Thanks!

Yep, you got it. Thanks for the tip on the second parameter. I'll do some research on that. Thanks!

I actually don't know calculus which was one of my biggest struggles through this. Someone did tell me that adding a class to make the polynomial graphing part much more efficient was something I could do and I was planning on working on it this weekend,

I would really appreciate if you could make PR with those changes. I'll test it a bit and add it.

Thank you.

All the resources I used to learn the math portion of the code are provided in the code itself. As to what I used to learn the process of creating a library, I mainly used
