random-stock-picker

Random stock picker is a cron job that pulls data from ftp.nasdaqtrader.com and then publishes an SMS using twilio to a phone. Inspired by: https://github.com/RayBB/random-stock-picker and adapted to be used with twilio.

Getting started

First ensure docker, docker-compose and all dependencies are installed.

git clone https://github.com/natehalsey/random-stock-picker

Then you'll need to get your twilio information from twilio and set it in a .env file in the root of the project.

# .env

TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID=""
TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN=""
TWILIO_NUMBER=""
TO_NUMBER=""

Afterward, simply run:

. script/start-docker

And the cron job will be running inside of a docker container.

Customization

Currently the cron job will execute everday at 8:30 am EST. Edit the file in configs/daily-stock-cron to match to your specific needs.

Local Dev

Install:

- pyenv
- virtualenv

Then simply . .script/bootstrap to bootstrap the environment and begin developing.
