TradingBot

This is a stock market trading bot that aims to utilize various methods of technical analysis to buy and sell securities with the intent of outperforming the market.

Overview

This bot operates by implementing numerous techinical trading strategies that operate independently of each other. The end user will eventually be able to designate how much of each strategy is utlized in their portfolio. The project utilizes the various API's and packages to get data and execute trades.

Source	Purpose
TwelveData API	Get real time technical indicators for analysis.
YFinance Package (temporary)	Get more static stock data for initialization (such as market capitalization).
Alpaca API	Read current positions and execute paper trades.
RobinStocks Package	Get real time stock prices (temporary) and execute real money trades (coming soon).

DISCLAIMER: This project is designed to use no paid APIs and therefore uses some unorthodox methods to get data and perform technical analysis, such as using multiple APIs and time delays to get around API limits.
