I opened up a little trading account after Googling fee-free trading platforms that allow automated trading. I found Alpaca and had a little delve into their API https://docs.alpaca.markets/docs/getting-started. They allow a paper account for testing the codes and running your bots and APIs.
My plan is to possibly set up a bot per stocks that have daily up and down movement to I guess skim? Starting small, but when you can skim larger volumes, those days can come with big Ws. The flip side is that those losses can be painful. Now that I'm writing this, I haven't exactly thought about a stop loss function in here.
Sorry about the screenshot shot, but sometimes editing code in Markdown is a bit exhausting after already doing all the legwork. If you can't get it from GitHub, I will post the entire code later this week. I'll swing back and update the code once the market is open and running to see what it accomplishes.
