Track mentions of stock symbols on social media and analyze the impact on trade volume and price fluctuation.
I initially only plan on using Reddit as a source of data but will consider other data sources, such as Twitter, in the future.
-
Uses Alpaca API to retrieve security information, so you will need to create an account if you want to run the application
-
Create a file in the project root,
.env, with the following variables:API_KEY=<YOUR_API_KEY>API_SECRET=<YOUR_API_SECRET>
-
Run from CLI using:
go run .
- Found two Reddit post titles containing the stock symbol that we are interested in, TSLA, for the given timeframe
- Displays the price movement as a percentage for the same timeframe
