This is a command-line tool.
The main.cpp file analyzes stock data in real time, and gives a full print-out of current and historical trade data. For now, in the remote repository this code is set to sandbox mode.
What you're looking at is a very early version. In the future I plan to build this into a 1.0 with a UI.
Thanks to https://github.com/dani2442 for providing reference code which helped to get started.
Description
This application pulls in market data from the IEX Cloud API for analysis using various algorithms.
Initial target algorithms are Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) and Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP).
Installation
Hm. I can tell you how I'm running this on my OSX machine (yes). Cross-compatibility is forthcoming.
Tools You Will Need
- VCPkg (?)
- libcurl
Mac Installation
git clone https://github.com/IsaacBell/Stock-Scraper.git
cd stock-scraper
# OSX
cd ~/Documents
xcode-select --install # This can take a long time
brew install curl-openssl
vcpkg install rapidjson
vcpkg install curl
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/curl/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/curl/include"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/curl/lib/pkgconfig"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/curl-openssl/lib/pkgconfig"
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/curl-openssl/bin:$PATH"' >> /Users/$(whoami)/.bash_profile
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/curl-openssl/lib"
Building the Application
In VSCode, open the main.cpp file. Then, either click Terminal -> Run Build Task, or press Cmd+Shift+B.
Running the Application
In VSCode, with the application built, open a new Terminal window in VSCode. (You can click the + Button in the terminal after the build finishes).
Find the main executable file which was built/compiled from your main.cpp file, and run it from the terminal.
# from the root directory
./main
