Rando-Trader is a full stack trading web app. There are three main parts:

The first part is a series of python scripts that use a combination of web scraping and api requests to collect financial data and store it to a postgres db hosted on RDS. The scripts are executed on an ec2 instance using cronjob and the db is updated periodically.

The second part is a series of trading algorithms that retrieve universes of stocks and other relevant data from the db and place trades accordingly by connecting to the broker api. The broker I use is Alpaca.

The third part is the Rando-Trader dashboard which is a React/Express application hosted on Digital Ocean and accessible at randotrader.com. When the site is visited, data from the db is retrieved and displayed in the browser, and it also supports search functionality.

Create new instance and ssh into it.
