Trading Algorithm

What it is

This was a personal project to learn automated trading. It fits a line to recent prices, decides when to buy or sell, runs against paper money through Alpaca, and can change position size based on news it scrapes.

How it works

1. 1

   The bot fits a line to recent price action and uses that to choose buy or sell points.

2. 2

   Trades go through Alpaca using paper money so nothing real is at risk.

3. 3

   Lumibot helped with backtesting and charts of past performance.

4. 4

   A scraping step reads news so sizing can change when new information shows up.
