Requirements

Along with the python packages listed in the requirements.txt file, an instance of redis needs to be running as well as a running celery beat and worker.

An active Alpaca account is also required. It is reccomended to start with a paper trading account to ensure no accidental losses during setup.

Redis:

Celery:

with celery installed. in your terminal run the following command in an active terminal

celery -A proj_name worker -l info -B

Setup

Also, prior to the initial running, create initial buy orders in Alpaca. then run sqlUtils.addStock(ticker,qty) to match your alpaca account
