UnderBot

During lock down I started messing with stock market automation. After tinkering with Python scripts to trade based on standard technical indicators like RSI and MACD, I decided to try something a little more statistical. Which lead me to standard deviations. I figure if all 99.4% of trades must happen within 3 standard deviations then I will be rich in no time and can spend my days making cool stuff! That didn't quite work out. My next step was to try to capture market sentiment, so I wrote a script to crawl StockTwits to see what everyone is talking about. Their useful $TAGS made it super easy to get the information I needed. After some time spent tweaking I let the bot run for a month and then used the data to generate this chart with Matplotlib. If I don't post again you can find me on a beach somewhere...
