MyExperiment.com Shares (Stock-App)

This is a simple Flask web application that utilizes the Alpaca API for stock analysis and displays indicator results you can visist the app here http://13.40.214.188/. This project was built for Steven on Fiverr. The problem statement for the project was as follows:

Problem Statement

The purpose of this project is to create a website that helps in analyzing investment opportunities and tracking portfolios. The website will have two main functionalities:

1. Opportunity Analysis: This will evaluate a variety of technical indicators to identify potential investment opportunities.

The website has ti be developed from scratch, and the IG Index API can be used initially for fetching stock data. The reason for this choice is that the IG Index API allows a high number of API calls (40 per minute for demo accounts). To prevent exceeding the API limits, stock data will be stored in .txt files, with a limit of 10 stocks per file.

Features

1. Opportunity Analysis

This section allows you to run simple technical indicators against predetermined stock symbols to assess investment opportunities.

• Timeframes:

  • 1 Hour
  • 8 Hours
  • 1 Day

• Indicators:

  • RSI (Relative Strength Index):
    • Over 70 → Overbought (Sell)
    • Under 30 → Oversold (Buy)
  • MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
    • MACD line crosses below the Signal Line → Price is falling (Sell)
    • MACD line crosses above the Signal Line → Price is rising (Buy)
  • ADX (Average Directional Index):
    • ADX above 40 and DI- above DI+ → Price is falling (Sell)
    • ADX above 40 and DI+ above DI- → Price is rising (Buy)

Stock Symbol Lists

The stock symbols will be grouped into lists stored in .txt files (So i give a page to client so he can create stock lists on website). These lists will contain a maximum of 10 stocks each. You will be able to create multiple stock lists, such as:

• USA Stocks
• UK Stocks
• Current Portfolio

These lists will be accessible via a dropdown list on the website.

Indicators and Results Table

The website will generate results for each stock, showing how each indicator has performed. The results will be displayed in a table format, which will include:

Stock	RSI	MCAD	ADI	Results
AAPL	N/A - [value]	BUY	N/A	1
TSLA	BUY - [value]	BUY	BUY	3
MSFT	N/A - [value]	BUY	BUY	2
ZM	SELL - [value]	SELL	SELL	3
GE	BUY - [value]	BUY	N/A	2

• N/A: Indicates that the RSI value is between 30 and 70 or the ADX value is below 40.
• Results: The number of indicators that give the same outcome (Buy/Sell).

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-repo.git
   cd your-repo

2.Create a virtual environment:

  python -m venv venv
  source venv/bin/activate  # For Mac/Linux
  venv\Scripts\activate     # For Windows

Install dependencies:

 pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the Flask application:

python run.py

Your development server will start, and you can view the application locally at http://127.0.0.1:5000/. #To use taiwlind in the project stylinf 1.Install dependencies through

npm install

After making hcages in css and adding classws to generate the css

npx tailwindcss -i app/static/css/input.css -o app/static/css/tailwind.css

This will generate css in static css tailwind.css file
